It has been quite some time since i have updated.

Just had our first DD08 meeting. After months of just planning and 3 members, we finally welcomed another 26 into our team. Definitely excited about this year's trip. Hopefully, work gets done on schedule and everything will go well!

And also, the 42nd geog soc MC has ended their term of office and we have a batch of enthusiastics juniors taking over us. Well, i will still be around to guide them (esp my successor). I feel like joining the next MC, but i figured out i will not have much time to commit to the projects. Shall let the younger ones take over. Will definitely help out in geog soc activities if i am free.

and LAV1201 is hard!!!

A nice afternoon spent at prof chang's house, which is really Banyan Tree. It's really nice of him to host the GC thank you tea at his place and he even took us on a tour of his house! His 3 dogs are also really cute and friendly!

We ended up cam whoring everywhere in his house like we are visiting some tourist attraction.

This is the funny pic.. look at who's in the mirror?

I walked into school this morning and i see so many unfamiliar faces around. I suddenly realised that i am no longer a freshie. I cannot be blur anymore.

The crowded library means that school has started. An irritatingly long queue at the library photocopy room. All because the stupid machine does not accept EZ-link card on Giro. got fed up and walked all the way to AS7 to photocopy. and poor bong lost her matric card....

first lecture starts tmr.

This is my country, This is my Flag,
This is my future, This is my life.
This is my family. These are my friends.
We are Singapore. Singaporeans.

Watching NDP repeat now. Partly because there are no exciting olympics matches on tv. I don't like soccer, and all 3 channels are showing soccer. Yest was watching volleyball and synchronised diving this morning. now i feel having starhub digital cable helps. and these matches are causing me to delay my AGM report. And, the olympics opening was indeed a wow! the way they light the olympic flame is so interesting. Must be tiring for the guy up there.

It was a real busy week. Went to Danang for recce. Met up with the kachang girls, S07 and geog soc. will update more with pics when i am more free.

Thanks to RJ who brought her lappie. with wireless access, i can surf the net in our hotel room.

After like 4 hrs of travelling, with a stopover at the beautiful siem reap airport (looks like a resort), we finally touched down in Danang at 6pm. The Silkair flight was not bad (good service), but was super turbulent. Making it hard for us to eat and i almost spill my orange juice.

We were glad and happy when we saw familiar face, Vinh and Hung, as well as Loan. The vietnamese students were really friendly and we spent quite a while chatting with them in a bar. It feels great to come back here again!

Alright. off to bed now. have to wake up super early tmr to do a recce on the project sites. also excited to meet up with our host families for last year on the 3rd day!

super super sianz!

Didn't check my preclusion for one of my SS modules properly. I only realise this morning that i cannot take cause i have taken another module before!!!!!! Now i have to go hunting for modules... and so paiseh to deguang, have to pang seh him for this mod... what a bad morning to start off a day.

one good thing, my dad is able to drive me to the airport. don't have to take train there!

I'm actually looking forward to my Da Nang Recce trip tmr. It's has been about 8 months since I last went and i am wondering how Da Nang has changed. Also, i will finally be flying a full service carrier with food and drinks. no budget cheapo flights for once.

This trip also marks the start of work for DD08. Recruitment, interviews, team selection, team bonding, pre-trip expedition, planning, fund raising all the way tillt the expedition itself in december. Gonna be a fun filled and yet tiring semester ahead.

DD08 blog is up! Anybody interested??

Some updates

It has been quite a while since i am back in Singapore.

My supposed vietnam trip is postponed and i guess i shall see it in a positive way. at least i get a bit of time to relax myself and to spend some time with friends!

Met up with the DD07 guys, though only 9 of us were able to attend the gathering. A night cycling trip with some freshies n councillors. A mahjong session with my good pals. plus time spent with family.

And of course turning into a couch potato, watching shows like You Are My Destiny and 溏心风暴II家好月圆。

Some interesting pics...

came back on the Snoozer Seat consortium bus. Feels like i am flying business class. with the electronically controlled recline seat, no more front ppl eating into your space. and of course a PTV to keep myself entertained through the 8 hrs journey. I dun mind a bus like this to Perhentian!

National day preview. The 2 fighter jets were doing the HEART shape. Imagine if u tell ur gf/bf that this is for her/him. haha

Night festival at the National Museum. The facade of the building actually changes. i only managed to catch 2 skins out of the many many skins. The inside was freaking crowded and it is quite fun to explore the museum close to midnight when the crowd thinned down. Night at the museum yeah....

And of course busy organizing meeting with different group of friends. And we are trying to get all the S07 ppl together for a gathering! we haven't met as a whole class since like 2005?

Apparently, I sort of became a korea drama fan down here in cameron. Every weekday night at 7.20pm on KBS World on Astro, the show "You are my Destiny" is showing. And since watching once episode, the 3 of us are sort of hooked onto the show...

This series has over 100 episodes!! muahahaha..

More details here. Isn't the main lead actress(the one in pink) sweet? Matt thinks the slutty girl in yellow is chio. Me n November disagree.

There are some interesting sideline story plot too. Like the guy who likes an older lady and the lady's daughter is in love with the same guy.. complicated... tat's how K-drama are.

KL

Back from a short getaway to KL!

It's saturday morning and 3 of us were getting bored in Cameron. So, we thought, why don't we visit KL? We can go catch a movie, go onto the skybridge at Twin Tower and November can go to get her report. So we bought our bus ticket, checked online(Internet was super super super slow) for hotel and off we go.

Set off from Cameron Highlands at about 8.30am on sunday morning and then reached KL Puduraya Bus terminal at about 12 plus. Checked out our first choice hotel but it was under renovation. Got ripped off by a taxi driver on the way to our 2nd choice hotel to realise that it is fully booked. We finally settled for a 2 star hotel which has a bathroom that has a view of the main road outside(there are curtains lah).

So off we go to KLCC. wanting to visit the skybridge. Had lunch at A&W to settle our craving, and then when we got to the skybridge area, we realise that tickets for the bridge have run out. apprently, there are only 1640 tickets per day. duh! so, feeling disappointed, we checked out movie timing for Dark Knight. Settled on a 8.15pm movie. So we have about 4 hrs to kill. What to do? Nov went for another movie, Matt went for church, I headed off alone to Mid Valley Megamall.

Navigating KL is quite easy. Took their MRT and after transferring here and there, i finally reached the mall. The mall is really Ass big. haha.. so started to walk around slowly and found some good deal at FOS. rushed back to KLCC to meet up with the other 2 for dinner. Dark Knight has a really good plot but was a little draggy for me. There are lots of twists and turns here and there and the ending was indeed impactful.

Woke up this morning, took a cab to the National Meteorological Station for some data, then went to buy books, visit the indoor roller coster at Berjaya Time Square(damm. cannot take), then shopping at Bukit Bintang area.

Boarded the bus back to cameron. The bus brought us all the way to Tapah, then we had to transfer to a 'cui' bus up to tanah rata. the journey seems never ending.... and after all the travelling, we are back in cameron.

The spontaneous trip was really fun, despite not being able to go up to the skybridge. We may be heading out to Ipoh this week too.

Pics coming soon. I am not blogging using my lappie. Shall upload pics to Sunny Sees the World soon, or maybe when i get back.

and i have sort of officially called myself Sunny. Nice name rite?

Now i am starting to feel sick. S*it!
