Felicidad!

Looking back at 2007, it really passed by so quickly. I was so occupied for this year that I haven really had time to sit down and look back at the past year.



The beginning half of the year was pure work. Apart from the admin job, i took on 3 tuition and I was practically working everynight back then. Job at PIA was fun and enriching. Learnt a lot about the office environment and culture, which i think would really help if i were to get a desk bound job next time (most prob i won't). Had a very nice boss and very friendly colleagues. Haven been meeting up with them for quite long liao. should do a gathering with them b4 sch start.



next up was the period b4 school started. Finally got to go to Hong Kong, which was my dream destination since dunno when. Can still remember the excitement when the plane landed at HKIA. It was a holiday which i love and hate totally. I would want to go back there if i can. I love the hustle and bustle of Central, as well as the tranquility of lantau. Their transport system impresses me and i get more annoyed at sg system once i was back. It was fun as i usually see those places on tv and now i actually got to see it right before me.



Back to SG, it was another short getaway to Perhentian. Initially, i feared that it would be awkard as i didn't know bingyi well, but we hit off well and the whole trip was really enjoyable. My first time snorkelling and the experience was just so damm great. I just love the cooling breeze and the sound of the waves.... the torturous 13 hrs bus ride to and fro and the middle of the read breakdown was just so memorable.

Then it was on to another chapter of my life. the beginning of studies once again. perhaps it is a break away from books for 2 years, others were dreading sch while i was excitedly looking forward to it. I would say i worked harder this time round than during jc. My project groups all turned out really good. Never really had major breakdown or anything. The project experiences were really pleasant and enjoyable. and of course joining geog soc. Made a lot of good frens there. these are the frens that are most likely going to be spending 4 yrs with me in nus. not forgetting to mention desdanang07. Didn't expect to get in initially, but was really thrilled when i got selected. Did lots of fund raising, selling cupcakes cupcakes and more cupcakes. and karang guni. kind of miss the tuesdays where we had our meeting till dunno what time.... soon, it was the exams that everyone dreaded... results are below my expecations and i was kind of 'sian diao' when i knew about it.

to end off the year was the yep itself. During the 21 days, i really see and experience a lot of new things. I got to see the other side of vietnam, the non touristy side. My only regret was not mastering vietnamese well enough to communicate with the locals. I am very certain that it would have been a much much better experience if i could actually communicate with them. I am glad that our project went off well and that our hard work did not go to waste. I love the moment when we delivered the mobile libraries to the kids. It feels like everything we have done for the past 3 mths just came down to that moment. and of course the ppl on the trip. It has really been great knowing all of them. some are really marvellous ppl. Kind of miss the days there, although it has only been 3 days since we parted.

so that sums up my 2007. I guess i didn't miss anything out. well, i shall not make any resolutions cause i don't keep to them all the time. shall end the year with this song, which happens to be a song we keep listening to during the trip!




the ppl at my neighbourhood are now screaming like mad....

the 2 days that i am back seems to pass by like a daze.. Haven really got a chance to really settle down and have a good rest. Now, the exhaustion is really taking a toll on my body.

but, i really enjoyed the moments spent with the danang ppl and my good frens!

Shall blog more next time!

After a hard landing of 3K 556 in Changi, the chief flight attendant on the PA and said," Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Singapore. This is why you should keep your seat belt securely fasten.." the whole plane just went "duh....." Flight was real terrible for me, guess it is due to me not feeling well on the way back. i am those suay type who always fall sick during or after overseas trip ones...

yup, i am back in Singapore after a long 21 days... now looking back, the 21 days seems to past by so quickly. i am alreadly missing the feeling of being in a big group. the house seems so quiet and empty now..

shall blog more when i am more awake.... now in a state of semi trance.....

finally, our project has ended and we are spending a night in ho chi minh city. have to depart for the airport at 6am later, so i guess i shall not be sleeping tonight.. the past 20 days just flew by so quickly... it seems like yesterday when we were rushing for our flight at changi, reaching the house that we are going to stay in, scrubbing and painting the walls of the main primary school, conducting mass camp. i gonna miss the days here in vietnam. at least everyday is purposeful and well spent and i don't have to worry or think about other things. really spent a lot of money.... our team has some serious shoppers and i just had a great time shopping in ben thian market... bargaining is so fun. my backpack is packed to the brim!

Finally i am having internet access after a week... we are all addicted to to the internet liao...

well, life in danang has been great so far. 1/2 way through the trip liao and i am still enjoying every moment of it. surprising that i don't misss home at all...

shall blog more when i get home.. the dial up here CMI.....

phangofhuanger

geog soc ppl will know why the title is as so... haha...

Going to fly off in a few hours time. (I am still not sleeping!!! )

Too tired to blog about anything... had fun today with the geog soc guys. sorry guys, shall only upload the pics when i get back...

Shall try to blog when i can over there!

Will be back on the 28th!

exams over!!!!!!!

I should be cheering because the exams are over!! but thinking of the stuff that i got to do within 3 days, it just kills the celebratory mood.. it's scary.. scared that i might miss out a thing or two.

talk about my papers.. that's why i always do after exams.. EL was quite a breeze, considering that i feel it is much easier to past years. think everyone gonna do well this time round. translation was a total disater. my first total disater experience. can't finish the paper.. and flip dictionary until hand pain loh, see until eye pain loh... 3 bloody dictionaries... and i was just bull shitting for the 2nd part as i dun have much time to put in some logical thoughts... today's nm paper was quite a joke (not quoted by me but by someone else). it was really much much easy than i thought. still got 2 qn wrong. damm.. cause i never go remember who invented what and who said what... left the hall at around 1hr 10 min... the funny thing is that when ppl start to leave (in hoards), walking past you... i just dun have the mood to continue my paper, so just chop chop check thru and hand up. my freedom came 50 minutes eariler...

tmr and fri got meetings and more meetings... can't wait for saturday to come... and wait, i haven pack my bags yet!!!

I seriously hate verb subcategorisation. I just CAN'T get it! i got those past yr qns on this subject wrong!! It's gonna boil down to pure luck to see if i can get it right in tomorrow paper.

still 3 more paper to go and i am slacking like nobody business. yest after GIS paper is like end of exam for me. went walk walk at orchard with ah tee. we both exclamined how long we haven been there... well, it wasn't a tat refreshing trip as nothing changed there (except for the xmas lightings, which we get so facinated by when we are young but now, it's just chey....)

GIS paper was still ok, though funny qns came out in section B. i left about 1.5 hrs into the paper, when ppl around me started to leave. i turn around and i realise almost the whole row behind me had gone... how i wish every paper is like dat, lots and lots of time to do. i was doing the whole paper very very slowly, occasionally stonning to see see around me (not to copy). i can see some ppl writing essays for section B, only to realise that they are econs students taking another paper. almost gave me a scare. wah lau, why ppl write so much and i write only 1 line? i can also see the invigilators are damm sian... this guy in front of me was just waiting for his friends to leave. how nice it is to be able to 'appreciate' the exam hall.

just did my module preferential exercise. think i shall stick to doing 2 RE modules next sem. will give me a bloody 4 day week. at least exams are spaced out, which means my paper is gonna end much much later than everyone else. x2 sian!

going to start packing my bag, then study for a while then sleep!

Taking a little break from mugging.. Yest was so mind boggling that a short trip to lot 1 turned out to be therapeutic. cleared my head for a while..

i kept wondering to myself, am i studying too little? all my frens are practically dying and crying father n mother, but here i am, slacking. not that i don't want to study, but it seems like there is nothing much to study. argh!! time is really flying past and next wk i will be setting off to danang. and i haven packed my bags yet.. the 2 days after my exam is gonna be a mad rush..

I am so hooked onto this song 原来你也唱过我的歌 by fish leong. her new album is definitely one of the best album released this year. this song is on loop while i am studying... and now i am able to sing the chorus in canto just by listening to her sing...


GIS exam tmr.. feng, pls don't give funny qns......

it feels damm weird to come online at 6.30am in the morning, when most ppl are asleep. yup. can't sleep well yest night, despite geog paper being over. woke up at like 4am, so decided to do some mugging instead.

geog paper was managable. at least i don't get the feeling which i had after my 2nd EL test. just that the erosion qn seems rather ambigious. is it just focusing on water erosion, since it asks us to what extent does climate affects the erosion process, and the materials it transports from land to oceans by the world's river? well, what's done is done and don't bother thinking about it..

i was thinking if i have been too focused on academic results? a fren told me there are much more things in life which are more important than results. sometimes, i was thinking, is it due to the competative environment that i am in?

enough philisophical thoughts.. i am hungry.. off to buy breakfast...

taking a short break from all the studying.. today must be the day which i studied the most for this exam. geog seems to be ok. hope weird qns will not come out. what's most important is a clear functioning brain to help me churn out an essay in half an hour.

watched grey's anatomy just now to reward myself for the day's hard work. and it had to end with a "to be continued...." argh! quite a dramatic scene to end this episode. a carotid bursting and blood splatting all over lexis. gross but impactful. didn't expect the bursting of the carotid to be so erm... intense? another worth mentioning plot would be that of the swastika. just reminds me of the brutality and the number of lives lost during the nazi regime. it is disturbing to be reminded of how certain groups of people have suffer because of who they are. can't wait for the next part of this episode, which will only be screened in the states on 6 dec. hopefully i can watch it b4 i fly off.

got to rest early today... tmr's the big day.

all the best to everyone out there!

EL1101E is killing me... i can just puke after just 1 qn. cause there is so many many analysis to do!!! so after completing one qn, even if i only get half the qn right, i alreadly felt a sense of achievement. i have only done 3 qn and i am sick of it liao. will never never touch EL module again... depending on my CA n project to pull my grade up liao.

haven been mugging very hard yet.. perhaps it is because my papers are only next wk and i am not panicking yet. tried to study in sch on wed, but eventually gave up and went home to sleep. the sch environment is good for studying, but i am just too tired to concentrate. also, when the crowd fills up, it is quite hard to concentrate as well.

ok.. other ppl having their papers tmr. i shld start intensive mugging for geog also liao...

shitty man.. can't really concentrate at home nowadays... the computer, the kitchen and the bed is just too inviting... now i still revision period for me, so i can still go out and study.. wait till this weekend, then it is intensive mugging period, so i will be locked up inside my room.

think i am going back to sch tmr to study... hope i can get a seat..

reminds me of this....

is central library gonna be worse than this??

can't believe i slept my whole saturday away... haha. from 11am till 6.30pm. then from 9pm till this morning. the after effects of staying up whole night on fri nite/ sat morn to discuss the mass camp and mahjong session. in fact, i cld still be awake if there was something to do. if i just sit down there alone, i will just pass out, which is what happened after guowei got off the bus. i just sat there and zonked out till i overslept and end up at the interchange. luckily i didn't need the bus driver to wake me up.

the overnight stay in sch with the team was fun. think after the mass camp discussion, which ended at 4am, a lot of them are just so zonked out.. if there were more awake for games, it wld have been more fun. more importantly, i found out 2 more rv ppl. carrie was 1yr my senior!! she doesn't look rv though... and worse still, isabel was actually my np junior 2 yrs younger and i didn't know till now. gosh! i didn't know guowei too. gosh. what was i doing in rv, or have they changed that much till i didn't recoginse? i still remember some of the faces despite not being in my batch. funny huh..

counting down again... 1 more wk to exam and in 3 wks time, i am flying off. so fast! and i heard that there is flooding in danang. hope everything wld be fine by the time we get there. hopefully, the damage isn't that huge.

ok. back to mugging. i finished summarizing my phy geog portion. freaking lots of things to cover. must finish human geog by today!!

so sorry boon kian i made a mistake on ur name... u know, i have been thinking about books and more books these days... in fact, i am a total retard, took me quite some time to realise the mistake. even had to use Ctrl+F to find the 'book' word...

yest night at K box was so fun! glad that book kian (opps boon kian) didn't feel awkard among jianhao, bel n xiaojun. and oh ya, ah lu can sing really damm well... heard that the promotion is for every fri!! hahaha... makes me so tempted to go every wk... but the bad thing is, we practically got to run for the last train.. luckily for rj, she managed to catch the last train to AMK. so geog soc guys, we go after exams ok??

time passes really fast. exams are just in 2 wks time and one mth frm now, i will be in danang.. yet it seems so many things are unsettled... same for exams too... seems like so many things to study and yet i don't know how to start... a sense of uneasiness..

ok.. back to the books.......

today is deepavali and it doesn't feel like a holiday at all. perhaps it is because thu is my free day. i am glad that i have somehow kick start my revision. makes me at ease also since others around me are busy mugging liao...

and i also did some changes to my blog.. too lazy to do a big change though.. seems like tagboard is still problematic, so i added a chatterbox... also updated my fren's link....

i am so uninspired to write a proper entry, so i shall end off with new song from spice girls(or spice mums). i still love mel c's voice. it's just so special...

i didn't know that the tagboard i had last time is still available...
so by request, i had my tagboard up.

u guys can start tagging!

Yeah!!!! Finally done with my NM project! and that is the last one for this sem. it's like a major load off my head. spent like 7 whole freaking hours in school to finish up, with loads of food and Yes 933FM on my comp. finally killed it. and now the thing that is troubling me is exams. shitty. 3 more weeks to my first paper.

this afternoon was certainly not productive. after finishing the project, just idled around, watching grey's anatomy, heroes, ugly betty.. and before i knew it, it was dinner time. well, grey keeps me sane the whole week. i feel more at ease that i did some studying at night... now i am slacking again...

gotta go do some GC stuff.

I was mentioning to my friends that this is my hell week. well, i am so glad that it is friday. and my nm project is actually going on the right track. well, this is what we all wants, things going smoothly right? Hopefully my other projects will be going on the right track as well...

This week signifies the end of my tution for this year. Hope my student could do well to go the course he wants. qutie worried for him actually, but i really cannot afford time to teach him anymore. see, this is really showing the truth that teachers/tutors/parents care more about their grade than themselves. looking back, i have actually taught for 1 1/2 years. sometimes, i feel i have just started tutoring not too long ago. at times, i am so happy to be able to teach them, sometimes, tutoring is just so dreadful that i got the urge to just cancel the lesson. well, teaching really needs passion to sustain and that is why i am not considering the education career path.

and much of the week is taken up by danang fund raising. now i am scared of cupcakes!! i shall not mention the word 'cupcake' for at least 2 weeks... haha . sorry to all my frens who i pestered them to buy stuff from me... I am just trying to do fund raising. i seems like a sucker to you all but i am not. I won't force, i just persuade. haha. thanks to all those who supported me too!

gotta plan mugging schedule soon... lots like quite a lot of study. and oh yes, i didn't buang my EL test!! i am heng that i didn't kena much negative marking. was thinking of planning to mug in sch on saturdays. i am not able to do productive studying at home nowadays. but before that, i need something b4 i start mugging. like go K? the last k session i got pang seh... :( go visit the changi T3 open hse? since we get to go into the restricted area (dun think i got much change to go there since only SQ non-asian flight n a few others carriers are using T3). or maybe go ubin?

School work is just so crazy.. the nm project deadline is coming and i have just churned out a essay that is full of junk. argh.. it's so hard getting information to support my points. to think i spent my whole morning in national library furiously flipping thru piles of books. It's just the serenity of the nat library reference section that makes me feel much better. Can't imagine if there were kids running around...

luckily, there is the DD07 team to keep me sane amongst all the school work. Now i love tuesdays. despite it being my xiongest day, the meeting at the end of the day sort of kept me going for the whole day. Dunno why i like also, perhaps it is all the fun and crap that we share during the meeting, and all the planning for the trip that we are all looking forward to. and the cupcakes sales on tue sort of lifted up my mood after my terrible EL test. perhaps it is because when we do something we like, we enjoy it. this dd07 is so different from my last YEP. everything from the planning stage to the actual trip itself is all done by the whole team. all the fund raising, all the hard work we put in is never a moment of dullness. we are alreadly very close b4 we even set off. days in vietnam should be really fun! it's such experience that i will miss when i look back at my nus days next time.

and btw, the cupcakes sales were really good. we can all become part time sales person liao.... Thanks to all who supported us! I haven bought one (a whole cupcake) and ate yet!!!!!! (all i had were just nibbles..)

I am so looking forward to the K session this wkend... i wanna go sing!!!!

this joke really cracked me up..

Why it's important to understand English

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank. Just one lady in front of me. . .an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a little irritated . . .

She asked the teller, "Why it change?? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty?? Why it change?"

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations".

The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people, too!"

been reaching home after 10pm for the past 2 day... no wonder my mum was asking what the hell i am doing in sch. "不懂你读什么书，整天读到三更半夜才回来" yup. she's grumbling again...

today cookie sale was great. thanks a lot to those who buy stuff from me. I promise i will return this favour someday ok? It's really great to have wonderful friends like you all. well, tmr to fri we are having flea market, so do support ok?

speaking of the flea market, we really had a lot a lot of things to sell. after the meeting just now, we are all in the chatterbox, packing all the stuff in the room. Finally there is space inside the rm to store more things. seriously, one wld be amazed by the amt of stuff (some rubbish) we have inside. and it is so fun to have the whole team working together down there, sorting out stuff n preparing for tmr. i hope the next 3 days sale wld be good. we need more ppl to come down!!

and talking abt selling cookies, me n rj were like walking around school with a signboard n basket selling cookies, asking ppl to buy... i know some ppl will not do such stuff, but i actually did it (not my first time though). we even went to the prof's office to sell. haha.. things we wld do for money (and it does not go into ur own pocket, but to the libraries in vietnam). I think i cld be doing more crazy stuff that i have never done b4 in my life in my coming days in nus. once you overcome this barrier and do things, you wld want to go for more extreme stuff. haha

and i got to talk abt this. was watching the news today and saw the new SIA A380 first class suites. first impression was WTF! it is luxury to a all new level. Thought that the emirates suites were like the best around, but the SQ one was like another level above emirates. With a 'room' to yourself and having a wide flat bed, seriously it doesn't look like it was on an aircraft. and there are also suites that can convert into a double bed. when the doors are closed, who knows what may be going on .. joining the mile high club huh... let's see who is the first couple to be charged for indecent acts in public...




when will i ever have $$ to fly such suites? now even companies dun fly their management in first class or some not even in business, unless u are the CEO. someday when i make my first million, i may like spend 10k to try it out??
and oh ya, why doesn't economy class see a great improvement? it's just a bigger tv screen, which is not much use if it is stuck inches away from your face. well, i can only afford economy....

and i realise something. the ads for SQ are all filled with the singapore girl image, with their plastic smile n fake accent (not my opinion, some ppl claim that..)... really shows how successful the marketing is. and who the one who said the singapore girl should go as it is sexist and demeaning to female.... just a thought. how come there is no singapore boy? i mean there are stewards flying in the skies....

ok. that is what happens why creative juices flow. i write lots of crap. and you ppl are made to read what i write. we were talking abt sharing stuff online during our cnm tutorial today. and yah, i haven got time to do redesign my blog. i receive comments that i should remove the music and i should add a tagboard. ok, shall do so when i am more free...

and i'm surprised quite a lot of ppl actually read my blog.......

I just completed my portion of my geog project.. A rather horrible essay i have written i think. Some of the points are just so forced. shall see what we can do abt it tmr. and it is so sad to have to spend a public holiday in school rushing a project. sad life. but on the good side, after monday, one more project will be killed and down.

an update so far... basically, really busy with danang stuff. sun was the karang guni collection which we earned much more than the last one. more ppl came down and that was a good thing. this time round, it was more tiring as the blocks do not have lift on all levels. thanks to guosen who came down to help me. i owe him a favour. haha..

then tue was the mrs field cookies sale. thanks to all those who bought from me. not only you have satisfied ur hunger pang, but you have also contributed to the building of portable libraries in danang! we were surprised that the cookies were all sold out by lunch time. really great response. it was fun selling stuff to others.. perhaps i shld be a part time promoter? haha. and yah. next wk, i gonna ask ppl buy more stuff frm me.

been lagging behind in school work... now i am like getting bored n restless halfway through lectures, never finish my readings, doing tutorials at the last min.. haha... nvm. almost everyone is like tat.. what happened to the mugger me?

talking abt sch work, the GIS assignment that we had this wk is a pain in the ass. Imagine mapping out all the roads in NUS and the buildings in sci n med fac. wah piang. i think we all stared at the PC for 3 hours or more than that. and that's not all. something happened to our file and we almost thought we lost some data and we had to redo it. imagine if 3 hrs worth of work is gone just like dat?

ok. above are all nonsense again. i am just blogging cause i am bored. my inspiration for writing have all gone into my geog project so what is above are all crap.

one down. 2 more to go!!! yeah. finally submitted my EL project. one day before the deadline.. haha... i feel less burden now... now, just gotta pia this weekend for the geog project.

and tmr, i finally have no school!! no need to wake up early.. i am gonna follow my plan. to sleep till i am fully awake. i shall turn off my phone so that nobody cld be calling me. yeah... what i have been looking forward to for like the past mth?? yeah... past mth.. every non sch day have to go back to sch. every wkend have to wake up early...

shall blog more tmr... abt desdanang, abt my projects n assignment.. abt what's going on with me...

so i am off to my dreamland... gd nite!!

i am having this insecure feeling the whole week. perhaps it is the effect of the looming project deadlines... I just can't put things aside. So my plan is to get it over and done with, but somehow i am always stuck here n there... haiz.. and the geog project deadline error made me happy for nothing...

i also have been uttering nonsense to people these days.. typical of me when i am under some form of pressure (the other being eating, but i told myself i can't eat n eat n grow fat). Too many things bugging me.. Well, i shall blame no one for i took on these things willingly. actually, i derive fun from doing these other matters, and i actually dread doing academic stuff..

a episode of Grey's Anatomy at the end of the week keeps me sane... I proclaim myself a big big grey's fan! And i get to know a few Grey's fan as well.. first is jade, then esther. haha... gonna have ppl to talk to about grey.

Dr Isobel Stevens aka izzie saved bambi the deer! haha

the mid sem break just passed like this. In a wink of an eye, it is gone. I guess this is the first holiday in my entire sch life that doesn't feel like a holiday. having to wake up eariler than normal. going back to sch almost everyday. NUS is literally my second home now...

so today was the karang guni collection for desdanang. the no. of ppl who came was rather disappointing. i am sure some do have reasons so i shall not judge anyone. the collection went on rather well, despite the small manpower strength. everyone was still optimistic. Some families gave really lots of newspapers and old clothes. guess they did read the flyer we gave out. i'm glad that our efforts in distributating flyers door by door did not go to waste. the 'xiong' part was for those flats without lifts on every floor, where we had to carry down stacks and stacks of newspapers to the common lift level. really really 'pei fu' sumaiya, who came down to help us despite her fasting period. i was alreadly damm thirsty after 1 block and she cld actually not drink for whole day.. Camaraderie was really high at some points, esp at blk 315. we did quickly comb the whole block and had lots of stuff. seriously, if we had more manpower, we cld have done more blocks and perhaps get better results. dunno how much our collection will generate, but at this point, we got to raise our funds bit by bit. sorting things out back in nus was another xiong affair, but we did have lots of fun looking at what ppl gave us. haha.. next weekend is another of our collection (if all things go smoothly) and i seriously hope more ppl could come down to help us. all the fund raising events are coming up and i am all excited, esp the trip itself! and oh ya, we forgot to take photo today!!! must take a grp photo next wk!

okie... time to sleep... prepare for another week of hectic in school and for tuition!

grey's season 4

haha... finally caught prison break season 3 epi 1! After watching he first epi, i felt it was rather duh... He got to break out again from prison again... shall see what happen...

and i can't wait for all the rest of the shows to come back!

The grey's anatomy clip is damm funny!



they were copying dr bailey's words!!



it's intersting to note the many difference between season 4 and in season 1. guess it is them being residents and that sort of marks a new chapter. poor george is still an intern...

oh dear.. I can't wait!

Finally mid sem break is here... Can finally take a break without feeling guilty and be glad to know that there is one week ahead to catch up.

Been a shag week. Fri was geog soc MAF celebration. Turnout was rather gd, though i thought could be better. As usual, we are unable to get much ppl from out of the geog soc MC. food was a lot and great! the soon kueh is nice! and dr pow bought us donuts! In the end, we got lots of food stocked up in geog rm, and that was after giving away lots of food. I feel that the lantern walk could have been better, as it was like planned only at the last minute. still, it was a great feeling knowing that we pulled off this event. Really, the bond in geog soc is really strong now and i really enjoy what i am doing despite all the heavy schedule, i am always willing to put some time aside for the society. Perhaps, it's what some has said, a group of people who has passion for geography put together.

so sat was the geog field trip to singapore river... imagine waking up before the sun comes out (argh! i haven had that in quite some time). reaching singapore river feeling damm tired, with my eyeslids dropping. lucky for prof chang's interesting narration and observations, i was kept awake. Indeed, the trip has gave me some new insights into that area... didn't take any pics, cause i was too busy trying to jot down notes and keeping myself awake. only took one with the 3 geog soc members at pitstop cafe. shall go get it from jon. was so tired at the end of they day that i drop dead once i reached home till this morning. yeah... finally my needed 12 hrs of sleep.

and was practically rushing my projects this afternoon. Finally i cld spend some time thinking and conceptualizing about the projects. blasted the Hairspray soundtrack... keeps me energetic for the whole afternoon. grooving to the dance tunes and typing on my lappie... really feel like getting up and dance... haha.. I love musical movies!

Good morning Baltimore!! (opps.. shld be Singapore)...

haha... i am not studying again... taking a break.



was surfing around and i found this clip which dr millie showed us during one of our CNM lecture. this guy actually became famous online through the video. apart from the academic part (which is how people found out who the person the video in. then leading to privacy issues and blah blah blah), the music is actually so cool! if he actually really did that with the guitar, it is so amazing!

oh btw, it's some korean guy.

another clip we watched in class....

So cool! I am now having a skype conferene with ky and tw! haha.. haven been chatting like this since ky flew off. haha.. so i am sacrificing my sleep to chat with them... haha.... good to take my mind off work for a while.

i am now so stuck between 2 projects... Imagine 2 projects meeting in one day. by 5pm, my brain is totally drained...

and i expereinced rush hour today. squeezed on bus 96 to clementi. squeezed on mrt to cck... i haven squeezing on public transport for quite some time.. it's ok to squeeze once in a while, but to so it everyday, argh!!! i think i may be willing to pay more to own my own transport....

it seems like mid sem break has come early for me... i am alreadly slacking throught the whole weekend. never finish readings... rush tutorials last minute...


been a busy week though.. i guess that is the reason i am slacking once i got the chance.. from lessons to meetings to doing research to hunting for bears to tuition... the long list just continues... for once, i actually wished there were more than 24hrs in a day.


and i sort of had enough of one of my students.. actually told him off during the lesson. really, it is this type of students that made teachers give up. since he doesn't even bother to do study, i shall just do what i am paid to do "teach" and then go off. i seriously have tried. but he seems to get worse n worse. there is nothing i can do. and i told his parents that i shall be taking him only till the end of this yr, which means 2 more lessons (phew!).

haha... i still see so many ppl online at such weird hours.. wonder if they are slacking like me or mugging? seriously, the many times i am online this week, i am actually doing things, not surfing for fun.

busy schedule ahead for desdanang. feeling sian yet excited at the things to come. praying that things run smoothly... i hate cock ups in the middle.... it is just so unassuring and nerve wrecking and demoralising...

and more projects coming up....

i realise i have been posting meaningless stuff recently... haizz.. brain freeze everytime when i try to blog....

geog soc DnD!

What a freaking busy week... with all the projects discissions, meetings, assignments, tuition... argh... tuition is really killing. boh pian loh... money is gd wat..

and yup. geog soc DnD was yesterday. was too tired to blog about it yest after reaching home. yup. took lots and lots of pics. it was really fun fun fun... not a very big group, but it provides for more interactivity.. and they said my outfit is not retro enough.... :( and i didn't win anything when most of my table ppl won something...

ok.. shall let the pics do the talking..... and yup. thanks to elaine for letting me leech onto your camera!

my table...

elaine, ervin, me n yuna

a group shot with all the profs. they not very retro hoh..

another grp shot with crazy pose...

the 42nd MC!

and some crazy and ridiculous shots....

wonder what sharok wok (huang) is doing.. and ppl were saying vivian's face look damm white..

poor jon doggie....

under my umbrella, ella ella, eh eh eh.. (with sharok wok again...)

so many other things i wanna blog about.. haiz.. but not for now...

I was searching for mandy moore's version on Umbrella on youtube when i came upon this video. lip sync of umbrella.




Warning: the last scene is rather disgusting but disturbingly funny...

apparently, it seems to be some project for CMM course at TP. haha.. such a fun project.





and crap. i forgot about Heroes world tour in singapore. To think i was walking in vivo and seeing those posters about the show. and to think i actually dun have any lessons during that slot! vivo is just a bus ride from nus!! argh!!!

kope some pics from the net..

niki (ali larter) is so hot!

Hiro is just so hiro.. haha

haha. so cute... wonder what will his spet phrase be from season 2?

and yup. i got into destination danang! haha.. haven had such good news in quite a while. guess i gonna be very busy in the months to come, but yeah, i enjoy it!

I think my mind is functioning at optinum only at night. That's the period when all my readings make sense. This is real real bad. cause it's gonna drain me out for the day. somehow on thu night, the night peace, plus corrinne may on my radio and a bit of booze made me come out with some real gd excellent (i think so lah) ideas for my geog project n the singapore slogan. and now i am trying to make sense of my cnm readings.

and oh ya.. i actually became a sort of a relationship consultant for someone. irony huh.. someone who hasn't been in a relationship giving advise.. it has been some time since i did tat.. haha.. ok, it's gd to hear about such stuff once in a while. and perhaps i shall learn from their experience huh.. just hope i am not giving bad advice. if things turn ugly, urgh...

and i am now hooked onto Brothers and Sisters. The show is gonna start season 2 in the upcoming decision. it's about a family, their relationship, their problems. what was protrayed was rather real. every family is a dysfunctional one. it's just how we accept and love each other. i came from small family and sometimes i really do envy such large families. at least it wld be nice to know that in a big family, there are more ppl who will be standing by me. though it is a drama, it is so life. drama is about life ain't it? i get inspiration from drama (gd ones though) like how i get inspiration from books(those that really blew me away).

and crap. all my fav shows, heroes season 2, grey's anatomy season 4, desperate housewives season 4, prison break season 3, ugly betty season 2, brothers and sisters season 2. they are all gonna start screening in september!!! i cannot afford to watch these shows towards the end of the sem....

the weather recently is just so crappy... rain and rain non stop. worse still, it keeps raining in the morning, and that is the time when i travel to school. imagine being wet during lecture and shivering inside the LT.... LT 11 is really freaking cold... one of the prof joked that the temp inside LT 11 is 11 degree celsius. plus my nose is so blocked up these few days (think must be the smoke due to the 7th month... ). so in all, crappy feeling since monday.

quite a few interesting things happened in sch...

yest my GIS class got cancelled due to the seminar room still being locked up. this is the first time i encounter such stuff and i was told this was not the first in nus. we waited for like 20 minutes and the admin person still didnt' come, thus prof feng decided to cancel class. yeah.... woke up early for nothing...

during today's el lecture, the whole LT was giggling here n there cause of a bug on the projector screen. think we paid more attention to the bug than to madelena.. and madelena must have thought we were laughing at her jokes (ok, not really jokes).

basic translation lecture was so duh... the lecturer thinks we are too hot and decided to '冷一下'.. the most cold joke must be the "逝" word... "手是放在船里面，不要放进水里，有鳄鱼".. cause there is this guy who wrote the 逝 word wrongly, where his 手字旁 is placed wrongly... and the 'jasmine' thing... think all these lameless is what makes the lesson interesting...

and i did saw someone slip down the stairs in a super unglam manner... girls shouldn't wear heels in school, esp with all the stairs in arts...

ok.. i am crapping alreadly.... tmr can wake up late. yeah!

Mandy Moore's cover of umbrella is the track that is running non-stop on my comp now... i really like her cover of this song. previously, rihanna's cover is just the catchy 'ella ella eh eh eh' but mandy's version is actually very soothing and sensual.. a total diff feel from rihanna's. many of mandy's track are so nice, esp cry..

and update on some stuff. yup. i got the project director for next yr geog soc FOC. gonna see stress level running sky high next year. Having lots of ideas and expectations for next year camp, but i guess ideas running in the head are always hard to be put to reality. and there is always this thought of 'what if...' ok, shall not fret on this, since i had volunteered to run for this post. shall take it as a challenge, a motivation to push me through school.

and today, another of my close fren ky left for studies overseas. haizzz. well, hope he could cope well there and i hope we cld continue to stay close. the wonders of internet... letting me keep in touch with ppl overseas...

so many readings and none of it is making sense... all that is making sense is "under my umbrella ella ella eh eh eh..."

In a bid to save money, save papers thus saving the trees, i actually printed out my readings in 2 pages on one side of the paper. Now i totally regret it. I have to put the reading damm close my eyes and squirm my eyes to read them. Also, i need a ruler to guide me in the readign of lines of sentences. totally bad for the eyes and it really makes me wanna stop reading.

i shall not do tat anymore. screw the money. screw the trees... uni is all about printing and writing on papers anyway... i shall see that these papers go into the recycling bin when i graduate.(me trying to being more enviromentally friendly)

kristie lu from CNN gave us a talk on monday during our CNM lecture. she mentioned about virtual worlds and one of it being second life. I has heard about the second life but have yet to try it. So being lazy to do my readings, i downloaded and logged on.

Indeed, you could have another life on the virtual world. I can decide how i want to look, what i want to wear. in fact, someone commented i look real 'hot' on SL. haha... and i was lucky to meet another singaporean who brought me to a club. yeah.. clubbing online huh... not those dancing and drinking type. just went there, chatted with a few fellow sgporeans. Indeed, all of us agreed that not many singaporeans are on this game. After chit chatting, i realise this is so similar to what has been happening in our real life, in uni. I have been getting to know more people, make new friends, and that is exactly what i am doing in SL. Thinking back, it is really wow!

SL does not stop at chit chatting. One can also make money. their currency being Linden Dollars(L$) and i saw that they actually have an actual conversion rate. as in US$ to L$. So one can take on a job in SL and earn money. One can also create an item, such as furniture, paintings, figures and sell it in SL to earn money. Once enough money, one can then buy a land on SL. build house, invite people over. have fun, have party. the possibilites are infinite!

no wonder the company who created SL is making lots of money now. and yeah, there is a millionare in SL too...

I think I would not be in this game for long as school is gonna get busy. It is good to escape to another world once in a while, but living in this virtual world is gonna be bad for one in the real world.

I should change my SL name into something more facinating n interesting i guess. I shall get outrageous costumes. "you can be anything in the 2nd life. Go out! Have fun! Do things you would never do in the real life. no one knows who you are anyway!"

I tried to study (yes mugging) and i got sick of it halfway, mostly due to me unable to understand what the text is talking about. I realise that reading for leisure is ok for me, but reading for understanding of the context is getting hard for me. Is it the 2 yrs break from studies or is it i am getting more and more distracted by things around me? Back when we were young, all we had to do was to study well and that's it. That's what all sporeans kids are doing right? but now, beside studies, there are just so many many things to care about. I guess i have not mastered the skill of clearing my mind.... my mind is just so blocked up everytime..

but still I have to study... the thought of the freaking expensive sch fees and the loan crap sort of forces me face reality. yes. study. apart from studying, i wish i cld do more than that in uni. After all, uni life is not all studies. Have decided to join the geog soc as a comm member, as well as the nus red cross (i still got an interview to pass thru). y red cross?? a lot ppl seems so shocked at that... even yz was laughing at it... I guess i must have gave ppl the impression that i am not the caring sort... ok, i am not that compassionate to the point where i wld spend all my weekends at the old folks home caring for them. i actually like to help others. helping them makes me feel happy. esp when i know that others really appreciate it. i used to have patient thanking me (even bought me a drink) after spending one whole aft at the hospital with him. know that he really appreciates my effort made me feel good. people have came to me for advise whenever they have any injuries or some concerns. I just tell them what i know and gave them advise within my limits. It feels great to be able to help them. In the service industry, even a word of 'thanks' means something to the person serving you. at least he or her knows you appreciate what he has done and after all the crap n shit in serving other freaking annoying customers, a thanks plus a smile could be the thing that keeps them sane. After being in the medical service in army, i feel that i actually like the nature of the job. it could actually being comfort to others. and yes, you be thinking i shld advance myself in the healthcare industry. why i choose not to do so is because i know i am not that noble to fully devote myself in it. some thing as to why i would not want to be a social worker. cause i know that at some point, i would just feel so so so demoralised and i wouldnt' want to continue. that's why i choose to join such organisations. I need not do it full time, and yet i could devote some time to helping others.

ok... enough of the 'big talk'... it's just so not what i wld be saying...

so while sick of studying, i actually listened to some of the CD i have... those like 10 yrs back ones... haha...

and jacky cheung's 拥抱阳光 reminds me of this tag on 93.3



嘉蕙：dear, 帮我擦suntan lotion...
重庆：擦哪里？
嘉蕙：擦背la！其他地方我擦得到
重庆：擦背有什么意思。。。。

my lappie seems to be the only source of my entertainment in school during free periods, esp when all my frens are having lessons or not even in school.... Just realised that i can print stuff thru my lappie in the central library... just realised that there are many many ppl printing RBR books in the photocopy room (where most of the copiers are so damm screwed...)... just realised that i have spent a bomb on photocopying and this bomb is gonna keep coming...just realised that the basic translation text n references are all in traditional chinese!!! (i just have to figure out some of the words by guessing)

yup. so far all the lectures are ok... they have not gone into the confusing chim part yet... in a all new surrounding... lots of stairs to climb... lots of ppl in the new canteen... lots of readings to read...

i guess i have not gotten used to study life yet. working life means after work, it is total free time and i can do whatever i want (most of the time). studying life means to study more after school. I just gave up reading thru my text after 1 hr everyday at home..... how to finish all the readings??

and i just realised that my geog notes fonts are so damm small and it gonna spoil my eyes... due to the kiasu me trying to save money and save paper (save the trees! save the earth!)..

ok enough of crap... gonna go K session loh...

so many many fragmented thoughts going on in my head right now....

now finally sch is going to start.... but the feeling in me seems so unsettled. have a feeling as if everything is not complete. yes, there are still much more things to do. tutorial balloting. buy textbooks, print notes and so on.... ok, shall calm myself down and think logically.. ( i am so influenced by the book The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night TIme). ok the good side, at least i have someone i know with me for my first ever lecture in nus. i will not feel like a lost sheep in campus....

and after looking at the notes for CL2280 Basic Translation, i really wonder if i did make the right choice.... Just hope this module wun kill me.... Yes. I am confident that i can manage it, I am effectively bilingual correct?? haha... or should i just drop this module and get another module??

and i am rather pissed about vista.. takes such a bloody long time to start up and shut down... and i was pulling my hair off my head while setting up a network at home.... and still could not get it done. suan le... i just use my thumbdrive to transfer file to my main computer and print it from there.... save me lots of trouble and headache...

So first day of school tmr... pray it wld be good for me and nothing goes wrong... not late for class .... not landing up in the wrong class.... not falling down the steps in school.... erm... what else are there to take note?

now i finally understand why CORS is bugging the ass off of so many ppl in nus...

in round 1c, i successfully got the module i want without much difficulty. but the sucky part comes in at round2. i can't believe i got outbided for both my gem n ss module!! and checking bidding history, those 2 i want weren't hot modules... and now i got to go hunting for modules again.. it's like eating the leftovers of others.... i certainly wun want to take modules which i have absolutely no interest in. and to imagine having to deal with cors again next sem.. nvm, will have more pts as my bargaining chips...

i have not blogged for quite some time. reason? there was nothing much to blog about. imagine every other day was spent like the day before. nothing interesting. nothing facinationg. nothing worth writing down in this blog. jc did ask me out, but he cld only meet me rather late and i dun feel like staying out late... all the night tuition has made me resent the idea of staying out till 11 plus or 12. worse still, if there is no more public transport, i have to spend $$ on cab.

but yest had a mahjong session. i guess we are somehow excited to start sch, or i am being influenced by prof lee, our mahjong expert, during our last session (thinking of which was a few months back). our topics eventually lead to how we can calculate winnings using maths formula, which is 2^(n-1), where n is the number of 'tai's, and formula like we would be holding only (3n+1) tiles at any time, where n=1,2,3,4. we even had a code MJ1101E:Introduction to Mahjong. to be able to exercise my hands among those white tiles again was indeed really fun, and i realise i am learning more things as i go along. luck is on me this time round and i won a few big rounds. think ah tee is the one who lost until drop pants.. ah tee, u shld play more, then can earn back ur money. first time is like dat, must pay tuition fees wat....

thinking that the laidback lifestyle i had for the past 2 1/2 yrs is gonna be gone soon. exciting yet dreading it at the same time. yes. human are hard to satisfy....

i am now typing away on my laptop... finally settled all the stuff, like setting up the wireless, installing application.

the past 2 days are major errand running days. went to matriculate yest. finally got my student card n my concession card. yeah! save money... got my laptop. went to buy router. went to set up uob campus account. so many many shat to do.....

went to catch The Simpsons movie also. the movie has crappy storyline (which simpsons episode has storyline?), but was freaking freaking funny. Think we were laughing almost every 5 minutes.

the more memorable scenes:

[at the church]
some guy, " I have something to confess..."
Homer ,"gay! gay! gay! gay!" (cross fingers)

"I was elected to leaddddd, not readdddd"

and of course the spiderpig song n the bart nude scenes... wah lau, they really show the dick.

and i can't believe almost everyone sat thru the whole movie till the end of the credits.. think mos ppl are anticipating something, but it turns out to be a crappy scene.

perhentian islands....

Back from the perhentian islands... the sun, sand and sea.. my ideal vacation for relaxing... if not for budget constraints and having to be back for matriculation, i wld want to stay there for a few more days...

relaxing on a bench in front of the clear blue sea, with the sun above your head, the sea breeze in your face, and a gd book in hand. wow... feels like in heaven.

kuala besut town...

had to take a 11 hrs coach down to jerteh, then transfer to kuala besut, then by ferry to perhentian. a freaking long trip. but reaching that place, i kind of realise that it is still worth the hassle. perhaps next time i shall fly down to kota bahru instead.

the bus trip was rather 'interesting'. on the way there, our bus had a snapped engine belt and we had to stop in the middle of nowhere. surrounding us were forests which were totally dark. the occasional illumination came from the vehicles passing us. can imagine if a group of robberes pass by..... on the return journey, our bus had a punctured tyre. this time round, it was in front of a sch and 2 other buses also stopped to help our driver change tyre, so at least we felt safe.

i shall let the pictures do the talking....

the beach in front of our chalet...

another beach, where we watched the sunset..

our chalet...

snorkelling was a brand new experience for me. i feel like i am all alone in the underwater world, watching the world there go by. saw school of fishes, beautiful corals. it was fun feeding the fishes too. too bad i dun have a underwater cam with me.... if not can take lots of photos.


some cam whoring pics... actually gots lots more, dun think i gonna post them all here...

summing it up. a good environment, a good view, a good book & a good company of friends makes a great vacation!

and it is really shitty. having a rather bad flu now. just hours before i depart. I am always that suay. falling sick during holidays. the same thing happened for hong kong. I can feel my illness erupting in a few days time, hopefully only when i get back. I wanna enjoy the sun n sea there.

and crap shit it is raining. hope it doesn't rain buckets when we get there, or else we are really going to enjoy what we paid for (the chalet)...

it sucks to be digging into my savings account for money... Being unemployed for one month, plus my driving fees, plus my hk trip, plus my horrible financial control led to deficit for the first time in 2 yrs. After my perhentian trip, it's time to do some serious budgeting. With sch starting soon, need to spend a bomb. getting a laptop. pay fees. buy books. and the list goes on and on.

i am seriously considering taking another tuition student. I must be crazy...

i think i have a terrible haircut. the stylist was like shaved off the hair at the front portion of my forehead... so tat area is like with lots of stub, and i have to put my fringe down to cover it. argh!!! i can't imagine how funny it wld be when the hair starts to grow... damm... i must keep using my fringe to cover.. actually the rest is ok, just the front part that irks me.

and yesh! perhentian is confirmed... 26 to 28th! leaving sg on the 25th night and coming back on 29th morning.

It's like a big burden off my chest. Finally passed by driving... after 3 attempts... think the tester will also be like "since this fucker has alreadly taken 2 times, shall close one eye n pass him lah". very bad condition when driving, it was raining freaking huge... visibility is like so so so bad..

this morning, i was like so sleepy (due to 4 hrs of sleep the previous nite), and during warm up, i kept yawning... so i was thinking to myself "i am so so so screwed". lucky everything turn out well.

who got a car to lend me? I promise i wun crash it... or, who is willing to sponser me a car?

thanks to yz... been keeping myself entertained with this...







other than such videos, been keeping myself entertained with 溏心風暴 (Heart Of Greed). They say it is the most watched series for TVB this year. I truly agree... The story plot is still ok, but excellent acting by cast made it a really good show. The climax is starting to build up.

and i am so hooked onto this song ,My Love Will Get You Home , which is played at certain part of the show, normally in scenes with 常在心.

If you wonder off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashame, my love will get you home.
If its only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourseft, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
Boy,my love will get you home.

ok.. i am so bored at home and i decided to give my blog a revamp...

tried the html codes and it was frustrating as the codes i pasted in would not work... had no choice but to settle for the standard blog templete. shall study more into html...

this series of shows from Lisa Lampanelli. it is like a stand up comedy, except that it is extremely racist n extremely entertaining.. she jokes abt the blacks, the hispanics n the gays ... LOL!!! i think i would understand the jokes more if i were an american... i can't imagine if there were a show like this in sg... dun think the garmen even allows...

what she said is quite true, sometimes we need to learn to laugh at ourselves....

hk trip part 2

continuing on my hk trip. a fall contrast from the greenery of lantau island would be hong kong island. buildings n buildings everywhere.. their tall rise buildings are built in such close proximity that i think u can look over to the opposite block from one block.

the hong kong skyline

hong kong skyline at night.. the symphony of lights was a huge disappointment. expecting a spectacular lights n lazor show, but end up, everyone was like "just like this?"

Hong Kong Convention Centre. Just after a day i left, they were celebrating 10 yrs of return to china here...

2 IFC. tallest building in hong kong

bank of china building.

streets of hong kong with tram lines... riding on the tram is an experience of its own

Central (中环), which is their business district, like our raffles place. is indeed full of life. can feel that the pace of life is also very fast here in hong kong, just like singapore. During peak hour, the crowd rushing to work and home is really huge. Fortunately, the central MTR station is freaking huge. Really really huge. Hong Kong mass rapid system is definitely much better than sg. stations are spacious and had lots of entry n exit gates. signage are very prominent and annoucements are clear n load in 3 language (eng, chi, canto). Trains frequencies are much faster than singapore ones. When i took the MRT in sg just after i came back frm hk, i felt funny as hk train goes much faster than singapore ones.. and hk ppl are not like freaking sgporeans, standing in front of the door n blocking the exit. even on escalators, they keep to the right automaticaly, allowing a path for people who are walking down. the downside, the mtr there is much more expensive than sg..

a cheaper way to cross the harbour to kowloon, the Star Ferry.

it is just a simple ferry ride across the harbour, but it offers the best view of hong kong. a ride on the upper deck cost only HK $2.2 (less than 50cents).

the new ferry pier over at central. the old one (queen pier) has been demolished... read that on the last night of operation of queen pier, thousands of people flocked to the terminal and there had even been protests against the demolishment of the pier. shows how significant the star ferry is in the life of hk people. it looks like the star ferry would continue to play a significant role in bringing people across the harbour in future. you can see youngster n even working professionals wearing tie n suits choosing the star ferry route instead of the faster, aircon subway route.

eveyone will wait behind this gate for the ferry to arrive. once the gate opens, people will just walk down the walkway to board the ferry.

seats on the ferry is unique too. the seat back can be moved such that the seat faces forward or backwards. so usually, the first few passengers who board the ferry after it docks will change the seat back such that it is facing the other direction, as the ferry will travel in the other direction.

went off to explore central, as well as the SOHO, lan kwai fong area. they call this the mid-levels area, and thus, there are slopes, stairs everywhere. they came up with an indigenous idea. an escalator to bring people up.

part of the central mid-levels escalator. this escalator will travel downwards in the morning and then upwards for other times.

the whole distance is freaking long...

down here, the sights are rather different from central. 3-4 storeys shophouses line the small n congested roads... i think one is better off walking then driving here, judging from the continous honking of the car horn..

lan kwai fong.. didn't manage to go there at night... can't except me to bring my mum to go drinking rite?

another place to visit. the peak. took the tram up. the tram travels at a really great incline. seems to be steeper than a plane taking off..

view from the top.... too bad i didn't go another spot, abt 10-15 walk away, and i heard the view there is more beautiful

dunno why i was looking away from the camera for this pic. maybe someone caught my attention?

enough of this post.. taking up quite a bit of my time... shall write more next time round....

I haven been blogging for quite some time since i came back from hong kong.. most of the time, i am being locked up at home... first it was the toilet renovation that took 3 bloody days... then the rest of the time, either at home in front of the comp or out for tuition.

ok. at least did meet up with frens... celebrated mine n kim's bdae with the jc gang on sunday. haven seen each other(except kim) for quite some time. actually, the celebratory mood has long gone off for me but still thanks to the guys for celebrating and the gift!

all of us (except CH) at this fake billy bombers place (forgot the name liao)

the 2 birthday boys (men)...

monday was then spent K-ing.. almost whole day.. morning was k-ing with tee n bingyi over at JB.. thinking abt the cost, it ain't that cheap either... the good thing is that the food there is cheap... haha... went to kim gary hk restaurant.. i miss hk food! but the baked rice ain't as gd as hk ones... then at night, it was k session again with the geog soc gang over at bishan... sang until my throat hurts and could not hit those high notes... like what they said "i am super siao!" sang a lot of those english songs from the pop era, like backstreet boys, nsync, britney, even abba n bee gees... n britney's you drive me crazy had those fake mtv that sent all of us into laughter n disgust.... took lots of pics.. shall post when i get them...

and the question of the day still remains unanswered. perhentian go or not??
