Botak Today
Today went school for Acc project. At least we got some things done though the meeting is quite short. After project went SI's hall to settle her stuff before getting out of sch for lunch. Becos of Ah Nuan's superb written food review of Botak Jones, I had a very strong craving to go there, esp after reading her blog, u just feel like u wanna reach to eat the food in the pics she posted immediately. To Nuan, u can be a food critic if u dunno what to do in future, can cover those food stories in Lifestyle section. Hahha. Anw I did not go to the AMK branch, went to the clementi one instead with Si. Okay for now I shall be a food critic as well:
Botak Jones is found in a coffeeshop. Initially I wanted to order from the stall but was politely directed to another front stall which is just set up to take orders. I was kinda puzzled by the waste of resources to set up another stall just for order taking. If u r observant enuff, u will notice that not only do they sell food, they actually sell their own brand of sourvenirs, like the teddy bear, cab and shirt. Wow, for a coffeeshop stall to go to that extent, this is the 1st time I have encountered. Anw we ordered 2 sets of Fish N Chips, so predictable, should have tried some other stuff though. It's quite reasonably priced, $5.50 per set.
We sat just in front of the stall. It's delighting to see so many choices of sauces right in front of you, without u having to request from them for it.
Here the food comes! Served in a black-pan-like plate, the style of serving reminds me of Fish N Co. actually. The coleslaw is generously served, kinda too much for me to take, given that the fish and fries are huge in portion too. Their tartar sauce has a unique taste, quite different from those I had previously tasted before, and it certainly blended very well with the fish.
As for the golden fries soaked with chilli powder, I totally agree with food correspondant Nuan that it's one of the nicest fries I have ever tasted. Long John fries is nothing compared to it (see pic below), as it's so extraordinarily fried and marinated in chilli powder, such that it's just enough to satisfy your appetite. And not only does it taste like fries, there's a familiar feeling of munching Carlsbee Spicy Potato Chips after a few bites as the crisp of the fries is so wonderfully delivered.
It's a satisfying meal for us, although the serving is a little too much for us to take. Highly recommended for those who wanna enjoy restaurant-like food at coffeshop prices~ 
I’ve been waking up early for the past 2 days to have breakfast with mum at Bendemeer food centre. I’m kinda amazed I can get up so early just to eat, and I’m usually tired for the rest of the day due to my insufficient sleep. Anw I watched the Oscars yesterday morning LIVE on chn 5. Well kinda disappointed Babel didn’t win best picture. The Departed won instead. Sux lor, Babel should win. And the acting awards recipients are so predictable, exactly what the magazines had predicted earlier. But still, I’m glad to see Reese Witherspoon and Kate Winslet on TV. I really hope Kate Winslet will win the next time round.
And just now, I went to watch DreamGirls at PS. Actually I wanted to watch Letters from Iwo Jima but changed my mind last minute cos I wanted to watch a less somber show. But DreamGirls isn’t exactly light hearted either. It reminds me of Walk the Line, which I catched last year (also at PS) starring Reese Witherspoon which got her a Best Actress at the Oscars. But of course, it’s not as somber as Walk the Line. Now I know why everyone is delighted by Jennifer Hudson’s performance. She really steals the show from Beyonce and Jamie Fox, such that I thought she was the lead actress (Beyonce was) and her powerhouse vocals really jolted me out of my seat. Of course, Beyonce is stunning but somehow lacks the x-factor in the show to make you attracted to her performance. Jennifer Hudson did not win the Oscar yesterday for no reason. And she’s really lucky I must say, from American Idol Failure to Academy Award recipient. What a dramatic life for her, like a maid turn Cinderella overnight.
And tmr morning, I gotta go NTU for project discussion, sux man…
我需要更多空气！简直就是透不过气，快窒息了。。。 这是什么假期，简直就是地狱生活嘛。虽然有《花样》看，有i周刊读，有精彩的电影看，有东西吃。。。哈哈，好像还蛮扯的。总之，日子还是苦的。功课堆积如山，VCD还有很多还没看完，真的不够时间。可是再忙，我觉得还是要给我自己时间偷懒。因此我大部分时间都在看电视，睡觉，跑步，游泳，看电影。。。好像都是些有的没的事情，但平衡生活可是很重要的好不好。我还蛮羡慕阿暖和阿Jay的，可以参加Vertical Marathon Couple's Challenge。虽然阿暖说爬到要死，可是完成的满足感因应该是不言而喻吧，所以为了这次经验还是值得的。我以后也要参加！我想对我而言应该是轻而易举吧，以我的实力，肯定没问题！哈哈，自大的毛病又犯了。
今天我发现了一样东西，如果我们不与彼此多沟通的话，真的很容易产生误会。很不幸，我就是这样，往往都会很快的对一个人下判断，然后从此把那个人打入地狱，让他永不超身，也很难再让我给那个人机会翻身因为我已经认定他是个败类。可是，如果我可以抛开我极端的成见，结果可能会让我感到意想不到也说不定。所以给别人机会，也可能是给自己机会吧。。。希望我能做到，虽然我承认我的自尊心是蛮强的~
For those UNEDUCATED in Chinese, hope this translation helps...
A Bland Life: Give me more Excitement!
I need more air! I can't catch my breath anymore,gonna suffocate soon... What kind of break is this? Although I have Hana Kimi to watch, have my i-weekly to read, have interesting movies to catch, have food to eat... haha, sounds so crappy. But still, life is tough manz. Homework are stacking like piles of mountain, many VCDs unwatched, really not enough time. But busyness aside, I tink I still need to give myself time to slack. Therefore, I spent most of my time watching TV, sleeping, jogging, swimming, watching movies... seems like all are nitty-gritty stuff, but it's important to have a balanced lifestyle. I kinda envy Ah Nuan & Ah Jay, who took part in the Vertical Marathon Couple's challenge. Although Ah Nuan said she climbed until she felt like dying, the kind of satisfaction upon completion should be beyond words I guess, so it's still worth it for the experience. I wanna take part in future too! I tink it should be pretty easy for me, with my ability, comfirm no problem.! Haha, there again I am boasting.
I realized something today. If we do not make an effort to communicate more to one another, misunderstandings really can arise easily. Unfortuanately, I'm like that, always too soon to pass judgement on others, and condemn that person to hell, and never to revive him again, as it's hard for me to give him a chance to redeem himself since I already consider him a failure as a person. However, if I can put aside my prejudices, I might be able to see a different light. Therefore, giving others a change is tantamount to giving yourself a chance... I hope I can do it, though I must admit my sense of pride is quite strong~
Happy B'day Yi Lynn
Today morning went to meet FM group for discussion. I was surprisingly the earliest so I started doing 1st. I went to this ulu place where all of them had trouble finding. LX arrived next, den Yuhao. And BFG always spills things. Yuhao accidentally spilled the orange juice on the table but luckily it didn't dirty much stuff. Den Pz & Si dapao food for us to eat. Wah didn't expect them to take so long. Pz was learning to wear lenses before that & apparently she had much difficulties cos her eyes aren't big enuff. Haha. Anw quite an efficient day, managed to finish 90% of the work. After that, we went for BizLaw lec at 430. Thankfully, the lec ended earlier as I gotta get to Bugis by 730pm.
I went Espirit to find Wai Han as she's chossing Yilynn's present. We r forever so last min in buying pressies. Then I saw XX outside the shop, she looked stunned to see me. Den Daryl came not long after also. Okay we settled on this white wallet though I tink the red one is better. And the customer service is not bad, cos the staff offered to wrap for us. Den we went to the fountain to meet YiLynn. XX left then, saying she gotta meet her friend for dinner. Well kinda expected that so not surprised at all. Watever. Initially I planned to eat in this Jap-Western fusion place but we gotta wait for like 30min, so we decided to give it a miss. And I saw pz's Bro in bugis. Haha. Initially I dun dare to confirm it's him cos I only saw the back view but again, it's quite hard to miss him in the crowd. And I recognised the Crumpler bag he carried. Said hi to him and chatted like 2 lines before he and his friends left. Then they all said he looked so young. Haha. Ya he has a super young face which I envy. We dun really had any idea where to go next so just roamed ard. Walked to Liang Seah street but nth interesting den went to Shaw tower in Beach Rd. We contemplated to dine at a Turkish place but the menu dun look attractive. And we finally walked to Suntec as Yilynn wanna eat Xiao Long Bao.
We settled in Imperial treasure as we didn't have to wait so long. I tink whenever we wanan eat on fri nites, we just gotta make reservations or else be prepared to waste time waiting. Anw my 1st time there and it's a pleasant experience. The food is great! The Xiao Long Bao... just so succulent with the juice dripping out into yr mouth when u attempt to tear the skin apart. Gotta try it! And we ordered fried rice, wanton, pancake in red bean paste(which is damn nice though I dun like red bean). We didn't order much as we still have 2nd half, dessert!
We then proceeded from Imperial Treasure to Swenson's for Ice-Cream. We saw a big bunch of VJ juniors, looks like they having JTS(junior treat senior that is VJ's tradition) or like the last day of the 1st 3 months class. They were so noisy, that we decided to change seats to a corner. Anw I ordered my fac Cookies Summit and we shared the Fries. Den it's photo time! Im glad Yilynn is a camwhore just like me, it's hard to really be one when the people ard u are not one, as one-man show is always tougher. So im really glad she can accommodate my requests and ya, I do accomodate to her poses too. Waihan and Darly r more reserved though. Nice dessert session, I felt so satisfied.
Feeling full, we decided to walked to Esplanade, and passed though MS. Den we tried to take pics ourselves, and I thot taking 4 people by yrself is quite hard but Daryl managed to do it. And it turned out to be quite well-taken. Sat along the River at Esplanade to chill, nice starry nite. Decided to take more pics and we all took turns to aim the camera at ourselves. Quite hilarious when I failed to capture everyone at my 1st attempt. Wai Han also failed the 1st time. Haha. Then we walked to the Merlion area and took pics there too. Yilynn tried to take a pic of me drinking the water from the merlion's mouth, kept shifting my position to drink all the water in properly. Took some time to get it right and I had to tilt my head upwards. By the time it's done I guess I'm drowned already, drank too much water. Haha. Kinda late so we proceeded to take MRT back.
On hindsight, time really flies. JC days r so long ago already & we all r quite diversed now. Yilynn's graduating this coming May from Business, Wai Han is entering into her Law final year next sem, Daryl is majoring in Econs & me, in Accountancy. I just wonder how different things will be for me had I made a different choice then. Will it be better? Will my life be different now? If only I can turn time back, and chose sth else, how will it be like for me now? Thats life sadly. There's no turning back alot of times. And every choice is a gamble. U just hope to win eventually. By winning it can mean alot of different ways also. Im beginning to regret my choice now, cos I tink NTU(the sch itself + some people I see in class) kinda sux. If I can choose again, I will not come NTU. Okay enuff of my rattling. I can't undo anything now. I'm not perfect either.
Happy Chill-Out @Swensons

Self-Taken Pics
Yesterday, I woke up damn early in the morning to get ready to go airport. I reached Kallang MRT ard 635am and waited for the rest of BFG for their MRT to pass Kallang so I can hop in to join them. Well kinda surprised everyone's on time. And we started to burn the video Si did for Yee Chien with our combined efforts on the train. Once done, we played the video. I can only say it's marvellous! Well done Si ! U have put in like 200% of your time and effort in doing this video. So met up with LX at T2 and spotted Yee Chien at Row 8. She waved to us, no feeling of surprise from her when she saw us from wat I observed. Yee Chien did u kinda expect to see us? Haha. Anw we r supposed to write our wishes on a paper and we did it so last minutely. And YC said she was sad... sad that she forgot her favourite earrings! YC u shd be sad u r leaving to go study!
After writing on the paper, we went to MAC to find her and she was sitting with her JC friends. But my lappy has ran out of Batt, so had to borrow YC's lappy to play the surprise video for her. Oh before that we handed her the Scrapbook we had painstakingly made together for the past 2 months. Well I can only say we really spend lotsa time together doing it, so YC u must treasure it and preserve it, though I know u r forgetful & rough but pls remember to keep it away nicely & dun lose it! Haha. It was running late for her and we only managed to take 2 pics together before she gotta board. Farewell is always sad I supposed. It's just so easy to be teary no matter how strong u usually r. I guess if so many people came to see me off, I will be very touched too. Anw, take care in Sydney! It's a nice city to study & u gotta tour more ard Australia.
The rest of us went to have breakfast at the staff canteen after seeing her off. And we decided to go Kbox at Marine Parade, except for SK & Fungus. And we had a hard time persuading PZ to come along with us. Still must agree to her terms lor. We took LX car there and sang from like 11 to 3pm. I was damn tired in Kbox, tink it was the 1st time I shutted my eyes and fell asleep awhile. And the mood to sing wasn't as strong as the previous times. And we r all really tired. I went home after that and packed my stuff to go school for evening make-up Accounting Lec. Only Yuhao & me went, the rest r all either too tired or lazy. Surprisingly, I did not fall asleep during the lec. Went to have dinner at Can 13 with Yuhao after lec before going back hall to rest.
Tiring Day~
BFG in Full Force
PhotoHolics @Skytrain
Wa yesterday is a damn shag day of CNY visiting. BFG has decided to tour ard every members house, including our BizLaw tutor Valarie. Well we all 1st met at the Bt Timah bustop before walking to our 1st stop, Valarie's place. Woah her house is damn nice! The balcony overlooks Bt Timah hill and it's the highest floor, with a roof terrace. And the moment we stepped in, her 2 adorable girls greeted us Gong Xi fa Cai. Haha. They r so pretty! Really a very well-blended mixed heritage of Chinese & Dutch. Anw she offered us food and we just sat ard to eat, with her 2 girls constantly running up and down. We took a tour of her hse also, really very nice environment to stay. Her daughters r so lucky. Then the 2 girls even surprised us by their performance, got Ballet Dancing & they even performed a Lion Dance for us! So surprised, they really not shy at all lor, very hyper also, so full of energy. Valarie is very hospitable & I guess we have brought much joy to them also. And her hubby is so nice to send us to our next destination nearby, Si's place.
LX and YC were at the void deck liao so we went up to Si's hse. Her hse not as small as I imagined cos from outside, it doesnt look big. Anw her Dad is nice to buy KFC Family feast for us, tasted quite good in fact. We watched TV awhile & took pics. Muz say sorry to her dad for being impolite? I shall not insist too much in future. Haha.
Next is Yuhao's hse in Bt Timah also. The guys took bus there while the gals took LX's car. Wah Yuhao's hse is like those flats u see in HK dramas, can see zinc roof from his window and the building is very HK style also. And his Tv is damn huge, like 40 inch, in his room somemore. No wonder he always wanna stay at home to watch TV, I will too if my TV is that huge.
Then it's to Pz's hse in Bt Panjang. Her parents r not in, so we can do anyting we want there. Haha. Anw quite tired when I reached her hse, maybe it's too sleep inducing. Some of them played cards awhile, I just stoned on the sofa. Stayed awhile only la, took pics and left to go my hse next.
Finally reached my house. I never like to invite people to my place cos I tink it's very messy and juz not fit for guests to step in. For the past few days, I've been sweeping my floor and mopping it and packing all my unwanted stuff away. They said they saw an Indian Tweety Bird in my room. Okay, I will wash it soon I tink. And they like so amazed by the rotting piano. I showered 1st while they r forced to eat mum's bee hoon. Haha. Stayed for about 30 min before we set off to YC's hse in Kembangan.
My 2nd time to her hse, first time was to do our Mac Project. Her entrance got 2 huge pineapples. Haha. Got so much food to eat on the table, basically was like munching non-stop until I was full. As usual, her Grandma is super energetic & sarcastic, she dunno suan how many of us lor. But good la, still so jovial at her age & young at heart. Her grandma even whipped up a dish for us to eat, very delicious. YC just doesn't know how lucky she is. Haha. And her brothers... She keep disagreeing with me that her elder bro is better looking. Den her parents chatted with us, her mum also lor, can suan her any moment. Ya she's leaving tmr to go Sydney study, kinda like the last formal gathering before she leaves. We left her hse ard 7 plus to go BB's hse next at Commonwealth.
All of us took MRT there when Fungus realized she left her HP at PZ's place. Chui. And PZ didn't bring her Ez-link card out. So they planned to go back her hse to take the stuff. Been to BB's hse many times liao, as usual we always watched TV in his room, den he tempted us with food to eat. Dun need to eat dinner already, been eating tidbits along the way since morning. Most of them were quite full. We left ard 9pm to proceed to Sk's hse next. Fungus, Pz, Bb & Ck went Pz's hse 1st to take back their stuff while me, Si, SK & Yuhao took another cab to SK's hse in Jurong West.
We stopped at the coffeeshop to buy dinner, before walking over to his place. Lucky his mum is at home, or else we gotta eat our dinner at the corridor liao as he did not have his hse keys with him cos the keys r wif the hse mistress. Haha. We sat on the sleep inducing sofa and Si spotted tis retarded looking Turtle toy. I found its face quite stupid too, so we took a pic with a stupid turtle. Then the rest finally reached too, and we started to eat our dinner in his kitchen. And Sk's mum said CK looks like Wu Zun. Haha. Maybe his mum shd get a pair of specs soon, or else she might mistake bad guys for good guys. Haha. So we left ard 10 plus and walked to Ck's hse nearby too.
No one was at his hse, except a poor dog, which has to be locked in the kitchen as the gals r DOGmophobic. I tink his hse very comfortable, nice comfy sofa and air con in the hall also. Quite cosy feeling. We took turns to bathe, doing the stuff we been doing at the same time. Really very tired, actually still thot we can play Majong initially or some games but the thot of a 830 class the next day just puts us off. The guys slept in the hall while the gals in his room. And we slept close to 3 and aimed to wake up ard 7am. Of cos, not all woke up at 7am, tink only Fungus and Pz. I did hear the alarm in the morning but didn't bother. Haha, was too tired man. Den Bb woke up when his alarm rang. And all had to wash up to get ready for school. Already late anw. But before we left, we still managed to take a pic at his hse. Haha. Yay! Finally the end of the CNY tour~
We all took bus and walked to sch, ya late for the accounting class when the rest r all inside liao. Todae is a super tiring day for all, esp Si who is so busy these few days. Betta sleep well after today. And POP is so useless, sorry for wasting everyone's time. Haha. We left halfway during the lec break and home sweet home, finally can have a good rest! Muz wake up early tmr again~ And make-up lecs sux!
Thanx BFG for all the Fun & Laughter!
Met up wif Jere in the morning to catch babel in Vivo today. Jere looks thinner, and he has dyed his hair again. I just knew that this show has been showing for close to a month already, woah y I catch it only today. And for once, I'm gonna be a movie reviewer.

I like this piggy! So alive! Anw today I'm supposed to go visiting but well, I procrastinated and I didn't go. Mum and the rest went, and I promised I would join them at Grandma's place but I didn't. So I stayed at home in the afternoon to watch my Bu Lao Chuan Shuo, nicer & nicer. I will reserve Hana Kimi for my precious night.
Anw I tink something Ominous happened to me in the afternoon, I killed a life! Okay here it goes... I was itching for a bite so I went 711 to buy some tidbits so that I can munch and watch my show. I drove there and parked my car. As I was driving back, there was this flock of pigeons on the road. Apparently, I always thot that birds have an instinct to fly away as people or cars or watsoever moving objects other than their own species approach them. But as u all might expect, I guess one of the pigeon didn't have this natural instinct to flee for it's own life. I heard a crashing sound, okay maybe Im exagerrating, it's wasn't that loud but ya, I do feel that the tyre ran over something. I glanced back quickly, and I tink I saw a black object lying there. Oh no, I became a murderer on the 1st day of the Piggy Year! I guess I've no affinity towards birds, unlike Ziying, my friend who has this amazing tale related to a bird which I just heard from her. It's really amazing, her story I mean. But for mine, I just have to pray for the pitiful pigeon now. I really didn't mean it, pls dun haunt me in my dreams!!!
That saga aside, I ordered Pizza Hut for dinner, shared with family. Then Jason last min MSNed me ask me go gym, WS going also and feeling bored too, I went to meet them at his Condo. Nice running there, been a few weeks since I last seen them. WS looks toner though, due to his intensive workouts recently. Then it is chill-out session at Serangoon Gardens CoffeeBean, managed to find out the lastest happenings within E2 & ya, I'm shocked WS said Kheng Boon appeared in the Ngee Ann Poly Ad on TV. Wow, didn't expect that. He must have been outstanding in Poly. Nice catching up with them~Gonna meet Jeremiah tmr to catch Babel, though Wai Han said it sux. I shall judge for myself...
My legs r aching! Wooh it's a tiring day for me. I actually jogged awhile in the morning without eating any breakfast, but ard halfway, I realized I cannot jog anymore, no energy... I'm really not suited to jog so early. My body needs to adapt 1st. But being stubborn, I continued with my swim plan, didn't swim alot, just 12 laps before heading home at noon. I watch 2 eps of Bu Lao Chuan Shuo, packed my room by 40%, which I shall continue tmr, den headed down to Far East.
Hell I didn't expect it to be so crowded when I reached ard 3 plus, teeming with students... sianz so many people. Ya I was like checking out the salons there cos I wanted to trim my hair, all so crowded and quite EX. Oh ya I saw Lynn with her friend, but she didn't see me. After roaming myself for like 45 min, I settled in this 5th floor salon which is not crowded, actually I was the only one inside having my hair cut... Ya it may not seem obvious I cut, & I took many pics of myself, again, dun tink it's surprising to all of u... Having a 3 megapixels HP is so cool & convenient, for my needs... Haha
Den late liao, went to meet Ziying, didn't know she was at the KFC there... So we walked down to Heeren, on the way I saw Kenneth & Wai San, they didnt see me oso... Anw we didn't buy anything there so went Cine. Nth much oso but we ate at Chicago's Steakhouse! Wooh not too bad, I had my usual order again... I gotta break this routine. And dessert called Nutz Abt Choz. Chatted abt alot of stuff, gotta tell Ziying: U have to be less harsh on yrself & be more confident den only u will feel happier! I wanted to get a belt initially but decided not to cos I dun really like it. And I checked that Kbox is open everyday! So anyone feel like going during CNY period can get me along~
I decided to try my luck at Bugis Street so we took MRT there. Hell man, it's was super packed & hot! I couldn't stand the heat & people there and I din get what I want. What a wasted trip~ Den we went over to Topshop & Parco & Seiyu but nope, I din get wat I wanted. So tiring by then, we went home after that & I bought my copy of U-Weekly featuring Fann this week...
Well this week has been so tiring for me! I had a FM test on Monday which didn't turn out very well & I even had to resort to unorthodox means. Haha. Anw good riddence it''s over. Ziying came over to NTU surprisingly on Monday nite, was quite surprised to received her call and she told me she was in Hall 3, just behind my hall. So I decided to go over to meet her awhile. The last time we met was at my b'day months ago. Anw Hall 3 was having this V'day Special Valentine's Talentime where guys sing to dedicate their love, some sort that kinda thing. Quite funny and entertaining, and I tink hall 3 is really not bad to stay in. Probably the best hall in NTU in terms of location, environment & reputation. Kinda regretted not opting for an air-con hall initially. After that, I went to catch the last episode of 金枝欲孽。A superB HK drama! Really hope S'pore can produce shows of this standard, but the ending is quite sad.
Accounting is getting harder and harder, while Bizlaw is getting more fun. I tink Valerie is damn nice, we r all very lucky to have her as our tutor. She's so personable & humorous, and her teaching is very animated which makes the lesson very interesting. After lesson, we went QUAD to have lunch and sat there till 2 plus while our elective is at 130pm. Heck and hell with it, we didn't go for lecture again! Me, Si, Bb & YH went PS instead for a movie! JUST FOLLOW LAW! A must-watch peeps! Fann Wong rox! She really got no image in the show, and very entertaining too. If u have never seen the crude, unglam & vulgar Fann up-to-date, STOP hesitating! GO into the cinema to watch now! Dun buy pirated VCD, nor miss it or watch it in JB or wait 2 years later for Chn 8 to air! Go watch this weekend! Haha, y I sounded so demanding but well, I had the entertainment interests at heart for eveyone.
After the movie, we made our way to Bugis. Then me and Si parted with BB and YH. And I saw James, my sec school classmate, with his gf eating. Quite surprised to see him, just said Hi to him as I didn't wanna disrupt him. Then it was already past 730. I made a reservation at 730 at this Italian place which I forgot the name. And we saw the twin sisters of Campus superstar waitering there. One of them served us actually.
We were not very hungry actually, so ordered light meals. And I ended up eating sth like roast chicken again, like wat I had in QUAD. We had this dessert called Tartofu, didn't really expect it to be quite a small cup of chocolate with cream. And fruit mocktails too! I find the restaurant too brightly-lit, and the staff r overly busy, like literally running over the place.
After eating, I took my gift out. I'm so Chui, still gotta arrange the stuff into a box before handing it to Si. I tink she shd know I'm up to sth since I left for quite long in between to settle some stuff. It's a puzzle, and we spended like 30 or 45min arranging it. But the process is fun. I guess a puzzle amateur like me seriously need more practice. Den I took out the flowers from under the table. For a moment, I felt like a magician. And quite a lousy one. Haha. Den we left the place, strolled to Chimes to take some pics and wow, that place is nice. Den strolled to raffles city, and decided to enter this hotel...
BUT, we only went to the poolside. Haha. Surprisingly, there's still a couple dining ard 10 plus, and people swimming. It's very tranquil, and breezy also. If only there's a chair to lie down, and just close my eyes for seconds, with stars shining bright above me...
Den we strolled back to the car & sent Si back... Now I know y u r not on MSN the past few days, actually I did think of wat u might be doing, as u r being yr usual secretiveness again. Haha. Thanx for the surprise! I dun tink it will taste bitter, as the sweetness in it is too overwhelming! Happy V'Day! And Happy Friendship Day to My dearest sweetest Friends~
Quite some time since I last blogged. Well Sch is really tiring. Esp Mondae, sux to the core. Lessons from 830 to 430. And this mondae sux even more cos there's a FM test which I have not studied yet. Anw I have been watching Hana Kami lately, a Taiwanese Idol drama starring Ella, Wu Zun & Da Dong. Damn nice! Thanx to CK for his recommendation & his VCD! U gave us entertainment! And todae is a slack day I gave myself - A day trip to JB which some of us agreed to wear our JC uniforms!!! Haha. The idea is quite crazy I thot, which I think I was the one who brought it up but ya, I didn't expect the rest to agree to wear also. Afterall, the last time I wore it was like 3 years ago. So long ago liao! But ya the feeling is great, so familiar feeling & so great to wear uniform again!
Anw I woke up late in the morning then rushed to take 170. Then when I was reaching Potato's bustop I called her to get up the same bus. Next I called PZ to ensure she get up the same bus too when we were near her stop. Then met up wif CK, BB, Yuhao & Lynn at Kranji MRT where we took 170 to JB. Okay the 4 of us look normal in Uni again ba, except me I tink where BB said I look like a retained student. Sadded lor. Then Lynn said I look matured. Well watever. We changed money once we reached there den headed to have Bak Kuk Teh at the same old place again. They r all obsessed with it. I thot it was okay only, guess I still prefer the S'pore style. After eating we took cab to Tebreu City. My 3rd time there and I tink I wun wanna go back again. There's nothing to shop and I quite sick of the place. We basically just ate Pappa Roti & dougnuts there only. Only Yuhao bought clothes while we all didn't.
Glad we left ard 2pm to go Citysquare. Fell asleep on the cab, very lethargic. We began to shop there but there seems to be nothing much also leh. Walked ard to the 3rd floor den we were at this shop for so long, like 1 hr plus and the guys bought many clothes, esp Yuhao. He really like stocking up for the whole year's clothes. CK oso bought alot. I didn't have the intention to get anyting from that shop initially but as they were there for so long, I jus joined in browsing the clothes and managed to get 2 t-shirts myself. Haha. At least I got sth. Potato & PZ oso got sth for themselves, except Lynn. She just couldn't get anything, so sway lor. Those clothes she tried she dun like then those she like she can't try. Haiyo really like fated cannot get anyting. Then she saw this shorts which she eventually bought though she said she find it okay only. I feel like we pressurised her to buy lor.
Den it was already close to evening. We decided to head back to S'pore for dinner cos Yuhao need to get back early. We agreed to eat at 10mile Junction at this Halal restaurant. Food is not bad, price very reasonable & it's a happy and satisfying meal. Although I'm really jaded now, it's a fruitful & enjoyable day. I guess we will be going JB again during CNY I tink. Haha. My remaining ringgit will be useful soon again!
Finally heard from Pz she got tix for PSS finals yest. Actually got 5 tix for us but in the end only me,Potato,Pz,JH & BB went just now. I was late so met them at Geylang for dinner 1st. They ordered quite alot, got Tow Huay, You Tiao, Xiao Long Bao, Carrot Cake... Yup after eating walked to Indoor stadium. Den Pz's friend called and asked her to go red carpet there. We had a hard time finding the red carpet lor. Den saw many stars arrived by car,including Cao Ge as the final star to arrive. Never see Teresa lor.
Anw we went in ard 730 and found out seats, which were not too bad. Den we started to inflate the red long balloons we had as we were sitting over at Diya's territory. And the show started LIVE at 8pm sharp. It's like a concert, great music & sound system. I think both of them put up a good show, quite on par with each other. In the end Darren won, which wasn't really surprising. Actually I feel whoever won is okay. It will not be too shocking or too surprising. But it's a good experience definitely. Felt quite tired when it ended cos tmr morning still have lessons early. So we walked to the mrt station and made our way home. Gotta rest early liao. Mondae Sux! Oh ya I must say that JH is really cute, so like a kid! Hahaha
Yesterday went out to study wif BFG at MAC. Not too bad, considering that we discussed Biz law which I thot was really quite productive and thought provoking for me. I feel that biz law is sth u gotta discuss wif ppl instead of doing alone, as different people's views can trigger u to think further beyond the text. Then started to do 3 sheets of our stuff, as some of the materials were not ard so couldn't do more of it. We didn't have dinner as some of us going home to eat & watch TV.
Today is kind of unproductive, I slept a lot, like a log, didn't even go and exercise which I intended to initially, den by right supposed to meet Ziying todae but sth cropped up for her. So I guess I will meet her next week probably. Jus now had my dinner for the 3rd time in my life at Sakae Sushi@ Atrium. I was the 2nd to reac, saw Siew Hoon waiting den not long after Mr Yap turned up. Den Shunuan & Yunli came and we went in to sit 1st. I was very surprised by the outcome, cos so many of the usual gang didn't turn up. Dunno wat happened to the rest but well, we still had a great time catching up wif Mr Yap. Hardy was a special appearance, cos I didn't know he's back in SG liao. And Chao Chi & Yee Mei too, I was surprised to see them turn up. I thot I will only get to see them like once a year during new year eve or very special occasions. I realized so many of my ex-classmates r already working liao, earning money... and me, well still stuck in NTU, and my career path is still uncertain. I dun wanna take the conventional route by joining Big 4, or get a CPA...
Actually we wanna go Mind's cafe after eating but hell, so crowded! Really need to make reservations if u wanna go there. So instead, we went to have Tou Hua at the famous stall nearby. So packed! We had to sit at the backlane, quite squeezy and there was a radio playing old 90's songs... so the feeling I got is like I'm in some Hong Kong street drinking my Tou Hua, very 80's feel... Den Jason started to ask Mr Yap about Julius Caesar, and they started to talk about Cleopatra, Mark Antony, back to old Egyptian times... and there I was, started to feel so bored that I nearly fell asleep. Haha. Suddenly had the feeling that we were back in our Sec 4 days where Mr Yap was explaining to us in class... Den took MRT home wif Jason close to midnight... Nice catching up session todae...
