Month: December 2006

Before the clock strikes 12.. sounds so cliché =

Anywayz.. Made the most daring decision in my whole life today. Was on my way home from tuition in the evening, and was about to cross the road when bus 975 came. Made an impromptu decision to hop on it. Had always been curious how Lim Chu Kang looks like, and I’ve been saying I wanna explore that area. haha.. And yes.. bus 975 goes that place. Took me an hour before the bus went back to CCK, including a short 5-10mins break at LCK Terminal. It was an eye-opener journey, seen SG in the 60s – 70s. Nurserys, vegetable farms .. Oh and I saw the LCK jetty! Almost wanted to run towards it, but was reminded of me being the alien there. Ya I said alien, ‘coz every1 kept looking at me throughout the journey, as though I was an alien from outer space! Was quite scared actually.. but I believed the driver will bring me back to CCK safely. XD

Felt so proud of myself, that I fulfilled one wish of mine. hahaa… There will be another time, definitely! You’ll never know how amazing any journeys can be.

One wish fulfilled for the year 2006. There’s more to go. Will year 2007 be a more enriching one? =)

Oh and I read in the magazine that 《恶作剧之吻 2》 cast remains the same! Woohoo! It will be on the marriage life of 江直树 and 袁湘琴. Let’s wait and hope to see a comical version of it? hee!

***********************************************

Edit at 11.30pm: Feels so weird to be spending the last hour of 2006 at home. And it’s worse off having to spend the minutes with a sore throat and a constant cough. =(

Happy 2007 to all my avid readers! May the year ahead be a blessful and enriching one for you!

Seems like my entries recently are at the weird hours of the day. Doesn’t look too good as school is starting soon. Need to get back to my previous lifestyle!

Was out for KTV with Grouser & gang. Since I decided to cook dinner, I met them only at 9pm @ PartyWorld Orchard. My bus went past Paragon, and saw the gang outside. Was trying to send thoughts to them to look at my bus, but it seems like I need more practise on mind power. hahhaha! Fun time at KTV! Sang till I had no voice! How bad can it get? My throat was already feeling unwell days ago, it worsened after the KTV. *oops*

Supper at Coffee Club across the road. Decided to drink coffee ‘coz there wasn’t anything non-caffeine that I wanted to drink. (This is the main reason why I’m still awake now.One cup of coffee usually can last for about 10 hours for me. ><) The usual catch-up session ended at around 3am. Even though the few of us meet up quite often, today's turnout rate is the highest! Kudos to Grouser!! LOL.. Must give her credits lah.. since it is rare to have 8 people turning up for a KTV + supper session. *applause* Just added a few new albums into my computer. Nice songs! wahhaha! Can't wait for the album to reach SG! It's a must-buy! Argh! If I don't turn in any sooner, I'll be waking up only at 1pm later! It'd be such a waste to spend the Saturday morning! Especially when my to-do list has started to get longer again!

Got woken up by many smses this morning!

The first thing I did when I got out of bed at 1130am, was to snatch the PC from my bro and checked my results. 真是捏了一把冷汗！ If you remember my exam timetable, my papers are all within 1 week. 6 papers in 6 days. The kill-est semester I ever had in my whole NTU life. Though I didn’t perform very well, I’m glad that I managed to pass all my modules!! That also means that I’m no longer lagging behind schedule! Finally on par with my peers! Whee!!!

Just when I was in a hyper mood, I saw K’s comments in one of my entries. Be it someone informed him of that particular entry, or he’s another of my avid readers, I’m glad that he left a comment. At least I know that he’s still alive and is still interested in how this friend is surviving. Thanx! =D But still, I need to clarify. This is an open blog, where I blog about almost everything that ever happened in my life. When typing that entry, I actually had lots of thoughts going through my mind. The centre of attention of that issue wasn’t targeted at friend K. It just happened that the incident brought up was one of the many cases that I’ve seen, probably not all personally-encountered. keke..

Went out to watch Borat with JK & Jem. Quite a plot-less show to a certain extent, but I must admit that some parts are real funny! Had a nice laugh at the no-meaning-yet-hilarious scenes! Went arcade after that. Been a long time since I last stepped into one and actually play the games. Hee.. I’m starting to get hooked to playing the percussion game. So fun! Although I keep losing to JK, I’m improving! LOL!

I think Lady Luck has been shining on me recently. Been winning on the mahjong tables. Small wins, but it helped boost my confidence. Hahahhaha =X

5am. Time to finalise my timetable for next sem!

Not because I’m not tired. In contrast, I’m actually very very tired =(

Too scared to sleep. Results will be out today. I had my fair share of fun and work this sem. Whether I need to take additional modules next sem depends on the results. I have a bad feeling that I didn’t do well.

But still, thanks NLS for your encouragement =)

While my laptop is being formatted with the new 100GB harddisk, there shan’t be any photo updates.

Been a long time since my friendster profile received testimonials. Thanks to Arcane & Xiao-mei for their Xmas postings! LOL

Did a good deed today! Returned a Sony Ericsson phone to the owner this morning! I can totally understand how it feels to lose a phone, especially when Grouser lost her phone twice this year. =X Being the nice skycloud, I returned it to the young kid who lost the phone. =)

Shun-bian meet Fen for breakfast @ BPP. Hahha.. knowing that she won’t reject my invitation unless she already has an appointment, I jio-ed her almost at the last min 😛 Had an interesting breakfast! Glad to have a friend to chat with! =]

After 3-4 long years, finally met up with CP, Cat & Lupin! Not including SF here coz I see her almost every week for revision. Hahha.. The C11C group didn’t have a class gathering for a long long long time! Wanted to get more people but the below-standard Liason Officer didn’t have everyone’s contact in her phone contact list. *oops* The gathering started with me & SF missing each other on the MRT (she alighted while I boarded the same train at the same station LOL). CP then called to say she’ll be late by half hour. Ah.. the 2 of us walked around VivoCity looking for GV. Tried to get tickets but only the first row seats were available! The queue was horrendous FYI.. Gonna book tickets the next time you want to watch movie at GV VivoCity. By the time we were out of the queue, CP has yet to arrive -_-“.

Since Vivo was overly crowded, the 3 of us decided to go somewhere else for dinner. While waiting for the still-having-hangover Cat to pick up our calls, I went to try on a dress which I KIV-ed with Fen the last time we went there. The design’s nice, but too bad I don’t have the correct figure to wear it =(

Everywhere’s crowded on a beautiful Christmas. Thankfully there wasn’t any heavy rain to dampen the Christmas mood! The train was still crowded when we left Vivo for Bugis at 4+pm. Yeah we decided to proceed to where Cat lives. Hahah! Met her at Sim Lim Square, while I buy my laptop harddisk. Getting a new one ‘coz the current one is getting squeaky!

Dinner was Sakae Sushi! Since CP is a vegetarian, Sakae @ Bugis was one of the few outlets that offer Vagetarian food. (Will upload the menu when my laptop is ready for usage.) Lupin joined us not long after. It was a good 2 hours of food and chat. I’m being labeled the pampered kid ‘coz I took only the red plates. Ahhhhhh no I’m not a pampered kid! I just know how to enjoy food! >< Walked around Bugis Junction with icecream on hand. The new Japanese Ice Cream which I've forgotten the name. The stall's everywhere around SG, green colour, and each icecream comes in a mini tub form, which are transformed to the cream-form that are than transferred onto the cones. Ah I have a bad sense of description! Ahhhh ... those were the days when the 5 of us would hang out at Bugis after school. I miss those carefree days =( And that.. ended the chapter on Xmas 2006. What will be the next chapter on? Quite a lengthy entry today. Been ages since I had such a happening day.. Does that mean my life's getting mundane? With the same old stuff day in and out? Sounds pathetic. But still, I shan't waste my life away this way! It is always at this time that I'd always come up with resolutions that I'd always say I'll try to follow. Since resolutions don't work every year, I shall give up on that idea. LOL After a long wait.. 1 week has finally gone by! The new episode is out! But there's 2 parts thus far, and there's 16 parts in total! Wah think I have to wait till Wed for the whole episode to be uplaoded? -_-" I've fallen in love with the male lead. Just so caring and sensitive. Is there such a person in real life? Wah this post was started at 11+pm, and completed at 2.45am. And I'm tired while waiting for part 3 of the show to be uploaded. *yawnz*

If this is what the graduated students did of their form teacher of 2 years, how good can the teacher be?

Had a fun time tonight!

The whole event started unofficially at 6pm at Jiawen’s house. Dinner was great! This is the first time I didn’t take any photos of the food. But the food are so nice 2dae! XD *yummy*

Games started at 7+ 8pm. Thanks to my 2 games-organisers for coming up with the games!

First up was “Finding the items”. Each group was given a list of items that they have to get, and report to the organisers when they’ve all the items in the list.

In the midst of finding the items..

I think the list was a bit difficult.. ahhaa.. that the organisers had to call for time-out. There was a tie between 2 groups! While trying to build up the atmosphere, we had the losing group of the tie-breaker sing a song!

While waiting for the group..

After the long wait! Lead by their leader!

The winning team won a box of golden eggs. What award will they get next year?

The awards! The most active Senior Citizen (Male) Award. The 老顽童 in the family!

The most active Senior Citizen (Female) Award. Awarded to her due to her contribution of white hair for the game LOL

The most active Junior Citizen Award.

The most Handsome Award. Lele walked up to Wanxin on his own while the rest were trying to vote. HAHAHAA

The most-Pretty Award. Self-declared. LOL

The next game! Arranging yourselves according to your day/month of birth.

Because there was a tie again, the referee (me!) declared Tony’s group the winner. hahaha.. I’m being fair LOL! So the other group have to sing a song!!

Actually I have some photos to upload.. but I think videos speak a million words. haha! Looking forward to the next family gathering!

Spent quite sometime editing the photos below. Haha.. Long time since I last did such editing! XD

While I’m now feeling hungry and tired, let me try to recall what I’ve done for the day.

Went Nan Hua to have a chat with the VP. Felt honoured to know that the VP still remember me! Asked him about some issues on a friend’s behalf, and he asked if the friend is my bf. *pengz* When I met up with Meili jie later on, she also asked if I’m attached. Wah.. I must have the words “I’m single” on my forehead le! 2 questions within 2 hours of each other! >< Shopped around Suntec alone after that. Wanted to get Royce chocolates for a friend, the queue was damn long! Got my D24 Gelato icecream and went ahead with my window shopping instead. Haven't been shopping alone for a long time. Felt great, being able to shop at my own pace while enjoying the icecream. Think I walked the whole Suntec thrice. LOL.. Kind of fun, though I was in the wrong attire. Can try doing it again next time, when the streets are less crowded. Feeling pretty stressed up actually.. I really need to work on my FYP. =(

那是昨天的天气啦！ 连续下了好几天的雨，昨早起床看见雄烈的太阳，终于可以晾衣服了！

原本出门是为了要还神， （我不是很信佛教，只是为了求安心。 或者能这样说：为的是让母亲安心） 后来发现肖鸡的人并没有犯太岁！><

An interesting bus ride

Was on the bus to JP. 2 teenage boys boarded after us, 1 in secondary school, the other I assume is still in primary school. Another young boy joined them at the next bus stop. Throughout the whole journey, all they were talking about, is computer games and the internet. All 3 of them wore specs. I couldn’t help but overhear their conversation. Which set me thinking, just what has the society became? Is there nothing else except the computer that can keep our people entertained? No doubt that the technology has improved over the years, kids are getting smarter, but what happened to their social life?

Too much of the computer is bad for health. Unless you’re in the IT industry, then you’ve got no choice unless you change job. Kids are wearing specs at a younger age than before. Pity them. I know all about wearing specs.. I hate wearing specs! lol. Thus I’m usually in contact lens whenever I’m out of house. Haha.. The world has become a place which is so unfamiliar to the one that I used to live in.

To-do list completed

Yeap finally cleared everything on the list! Next up is the xmas party, xmas gatherings and fyp!

Misc

Ahh I really mean it when I say I have invisible rashes lah! The rashes are no longer reddish.. but are still itchy! >< I don’t think it’s as serious as eczema lah.. touch wood!

Sian I’m starting to pop pills again. Been having diarrhoea for duno how many days le! Pray things will get better!
