Happy Chinese New Year to all! :) Okay I've got nothing much to say actually. My Chinese New Year was spent on going to my relatives' house to bainian of course. But I'm not really that close to my relatives so it was kind of boring and awkward to me. I'd rather go over to my M'sia relatives' house but my parents complained about the major jam. :( Anyway I didn't managed to capture my new shoes down but because of my new shoes, I was taller than both my parents by a considerable amount. Haha talk about awkward. My aunt said my shoes is really pretty and yes I love them a lot. Bwahahah.

So basically I just lazed around their houses and chatted with the adults (since I'm like the only girl as always, (be in in Singapore or M'sia) and eat and eat and eat non stop. Oh 4 of my relatives went to Cambodia too! Be it CIP, Missionary, or business trip. :) So yeah, this year don't really have much CNY atmosphere for me and its getting quieter too. Maybe like what Giff said in the whatsapp group, we had too much fun during the New Year countdown already. Hehe. Makes sense. My New Year countdown was awesome.

Oh yeah I am going to do scrapbooking for the first time and so I'm really inexperienced, but I've done my research online and got most of the materials already so I'm hoping to start by this week or something! So yep, just want to say scrapbooking is a really expensive hobby (not a hobby for me tho) because the cost of the materials is really no joking matter. So because of that I'm gonna put in more effort. Hope my art talent haven't really disappear yet! And yeah I used my angbao money to buy the materials since my dad gave me early. Heartache ahhhh.

Yep just a short update so toodles!

Bought new carpet (can you believe it my ex carpet is actually a super large and childish hopscotch one?!), new rubbish bin (my previous one is some grey and black super laogudong one), new chair (exactly same as previous one but got large cracks at the side after dk what my bro did to it) and new noticeboards for my room at Ikea with my fam during Chu xi!! ^^ Happy is me. But I haven't put up the noticeboards yet, waiting for my dad to drill holes.

My outfit for Chu yi! Exact same dress as Ting hahaha. Oh and ignore my messy room.

Convenience sake I shall just SS. Since pictures are easier to view than words too. Haha I find this funny! As well as some funny weird nicknames like Xiaoniu (small cow) for my 20 year old cousin (guy duh) So my biaosao was like asking for our names and recording it down in her Iphone since we have been called these nicknames for DECADES already so she realised she don't know our names!! Then she was like, "YOU ALL HOW OLD ALREADY." x) Anyway 18 is really damn old man. Sigh.

I really feel bad for spamming my Twitter on Chu Yi but I was really bored at my da gu's house. But if you didn't follow any of them or something I don't think you'll be spammed lah. This all happened because we all have one common hobby, which is to bully YB. Hehehe. It started 'cause of Yunwen and YB, then I joined in, then Giff, then Yuxian and HJ. Hahaha poor YB! But I admit this is fun. ^^ 90% of my tweets are convos, like really.

I just realised (yeah just) that my wall is good for camwhoring. But although YB and co don't believe me when I say I don't camwhore, I really rarely do so at home 'cause I'll feel retarded so this is rare okay! Since its CNY.

(Belated) La Lumiere

2012-01-21T01:01:00.000+08:00

Missing a number of people.

Hi guys I know this is like super belated but late's better than never right! Hehehe.

Let's rewind back to a week ago. So yep, La Lumiere is the theme for this year's NYJC's Open house which I forgot what it means. LOL. Okay this post was written a week ago too, so its not that I have awesome memory k. ;)

Met CCNY along the way while I was waiting for Ting so the bunch of us waited for Jie, who was terribly late. So even tho we were supposed to reach school at 8am, we were still at Circle Line at that same time. Hahaha. So anyway, assembly was cancelled due to the small drizzle and yep, headed to the hall straight away.

The ISLE booth wasn't really like a booth but more like an exhibition. So yeah, sat around, cut flyers and chit chatted. Saw our ISLE video which was edited by Yuxian, supposedly gonna showcased to the whole school during assembly as well! Hmm we admit its a bit boring because the teachers said we couldn't slot in a lot of the more fun parts of our trip. So sian!! So its more about our Service Learning and stuffs and left out the parts where we were having fun. Oh well its okay, since what matters is we ourselves know. :)

Ting and Jiayan sneaked out of school to buy Weijie's birthday cake as belated birthday celebration for him so yep, then we celebrated in the back of the canteen after Mildred brought him to us since they are both dragonboaters! Oh speaking of the dragonboaters I think they looked damn scary in their DB singlets oh gawd. So intimidating. I saw one unknown Os graduate tweeting about their muscles ROFL. Okay anyway, Weijie looked pleasantly surprised! Hehe glad he like it. Took several polaroid photos with Yuxian's polaroid as well and photogs really have the best skill.

One of the poses we did was Yunwen's infamous eyes wide shut pose LOL. DAMN FUNNY. We were spotting unglams with the gigantic photos showcased in the exhibition. Oh 6 photos have my face on it and 2 were unglams. But Yunwen was damn suay 'cause her pose was weird and her eyes blinked so everything looked wrong. And what's worse is that that photo is the largest one since its the group shot. Hahaha we are a bunch of mean friends. :P

After dragging the time lighting the candles.

Hehe singing birthday song.

Weijie!! :)

Alrighto, so when the Open House starts at 10am, I went to distribute flyers with a bunch of ISLE peeps! I went down with some but ended up alone Idk why. Then in the end I found some and we took a photo at the Photog booth! Hehe everyone was spamming photos taken there. Nothing much, just walked here and there for many many times giving out flyers to the Os graduates. I swear I passed by Eblouissant for more than twenty times or so.

It was kind of embarrassing because me and Geraldine went up to a bunch of people in their homes clothes saying, "WELCOME TO NANYANG!" but what we got in return was, "JOIN CHOIR!!!" LOL turns out that they are J2'10 graduates! So embarrassing please. ._.

Watched the performances at the atrium too and it was good! So Geraldine was telling me that Farizmi (MC) told her to watch J-Fire's performance 'cause although they are not good at dancing but they are very passionate about it. And her classmate was super passionate man! Felt damn bad when the both of us couldn't stop laughing at Bio's Regina. HAHA WHOOPS. But I bet a lot of people were laughing at her too and was holding in. I tried to hold but I failed terribly. Felt super mean. :/

The large photo showcased. B)

Was really walking here and there slotting flyers into unknown faces, then was pulled to take photos with Yuvin, Sharon and Eelin! Haha then me, Geraldine and Yunwen went on a hunting spree to look for Yeowboon since we didn't talk to him or even see him the whole day since he was busy with his Hexco stuffs. OIC ley~ We went to the netball/handball court, tennis/BB court and field to find him but to no avail! Then we finally found him at the atrium watching perf and he was just beside our spot. -.-

Then we went to the hall to enjoy the air con and slacked for a while, then I abandoned them and ended up being at the atrium area with YB to compete with each other in giving out flyers since he didn't contribute to ISLE. ROFL. So the rule was, the first to give out 3 flyers owe the other party Yigloo. (initial plan was Sakae but too exp) We dragged Ting to be the 'referee' or something. Haha.

So we were busy slotting the flyers to the Os graduates and I got rejected by one girl?!?! Seriously just taking one paper what would that cost you. So after being mocked by YB I instantly rolled my eyes in front of her. -.- We were so ganchiong that I said, "Welcome to Nanyang!" to a NYJCian wearing our college tee. -.- So despo but I WON!!! :D Yes man free Yigloo for me!

Sharon, Eelin and Yuvin!!

The crowd died down afterwards so was searching 'NYJC' at Twitter in the hall with Geraldine, Xinrui and Huajie wanting to see what are the people's responses to our school. :) Turns out that a lot of them were keen on joining us after visiting here! Majority of them were like, "I rly hope I can enter NYJC", "NYJC looks super fun!!" kind but of course there was negative ones like, "Please don't go NYJC" or something like wth?!? We were cursing at those idiotic comments and laughing at some. There was a few that said NYJC got many pretty girls and one of them felt inferior (-.-) but the funny one was, "NYJC Y U NO HOT GUYS?!" Hahaha Huajie in the face siol. But there was a lot that said the people at NYJC are damn friendly and super fun, WHICH IS THE FACT OKAY!! We are damn fun people! So yep, glad to see many many positive responses and am really glad to be in this school. A lot of them expressed disappointment that they didn't reach the cut off point so yep, super glad. I regret nothing! :)

When the clock struck 4, Team Luceat and Vivace immediately went to unpack and stuffs. The eerie thing is this, me and Ting both brought the same plastic bag to contain the stuffs that we are returning to Jared and Gifford respectively. Both Code Red plastic bags. Coincidental enough? There's more. We both used the same bags (some shop in FEP) to contain the dresses to return to Reg too! Telepathy much?! Haha to the extend that its kind of creepy! So my previous post explains this. Because both me and Ting bought 2 same New Year clothes from the same shop and we are lazy to dig out old plastic bags. Cool ok B)

Xinrui, Huajie and Geraldine!

Chatted with the ISLE peeps in the hall for a while before joining Jie and slacked in the canteen for a while. YB was damn busy with his Hexco stuffs. But I swear he looks super fierce when he's busy or when he is concentrated in his stuffs. Till you'll think that he's angry at you. But anyway, didn't join him, HJ, Geraldine and Dionis to go satisfy their cravings at MakeShake because it was too far! Result? Me being deemed as Forever Alone by the King of Forever Alone himself. Oh well~ Went home with Jie afterwards!

So its official! Its on the news and tons of NYJCians were posting this on FB and Twitter stating that NYJC is the most popular non-IP school our of the 12 non-IP schools, with over 2000 visitors during the open house and have annual intakes of around 900 and accept students with O-level aggregate scores well below 10! Koped from Straits Times.

LOL my last post on 2011 is now the most read post in my blog overtaking Apple Of My Eye's post by 20 over views and NSRCC's overtook Homecoming's too. Abit creepy ah.. Haha.

With Jie while slacking in the canteen! Can you see how tanned am I and how fair she is? :O

Retail Therapy

2012-01-16T00:00:00.000+08:00

I decided to blog about Sunday first because I think Xinrui is taking quite some time to upload the Open House photos. :O So yep, met up with the ISLE people on Sunday to do some CNY shopping although I've already bought my clothes beforehand already. Just need the shoes.

Met up with Ting beforehand and was on the same train as Keehang and Guanting! Haha. So yeah, heard that Vivace has an outing on the same day too. So coincidental. Okay so we went over to TPY to make my specs first! Introduced by Yuvin and its damn cheap, $48 only! And we can collect on the same day, just need to wait for 15min!! GOOD OR WHAT. I don't need an exp one, just some durable one. And to think my previous specs was over 200 bucks. So yep, did the usuals and my degree remained the same, but my left eye decreased from 125 to 100?! Oh my specs cost $68 'cause of some UV lens thing. So got to wear my specs while using the comp now. :)

Had lunch at KFC first and Eric came halfway and stayed for just 5min. He brought a friend along, called Xiaoming which only he could see. So when we were about to leave, he claimed that I stepped on Xiaoming, then he stared at poor little Xiaoming saying, "Sorry xiaoming, forgive her k?" with his sincere eyes. I hope Eric and er, Xiaoming are both fine. -.-

So I look like this in specs. Frigging nerd but I don't care. I accidentally deleted some photos zzz so careless of me.

Left and met YB, Giff, Geraldine and Yuxian on the train! YB told me third cabin when it was the second so he walked out, shouted both our names along the platform. ROFL. Met Mildred and she's in her ponytail!! Hehe. Wanted to settle down and have lunch at a place first so we were lingering around Ion. I swear HJ is always late. And I swear he always pop out from nowhere LOL. EVERYTIME, we will walk to some place and he will just walk past us casually like we don't know one another, so we will spot him first, then he will take out his earpiece with the :O look. EVERYTIME.

They ate at Fish & Co but only 4/8 were eating. So we occupied 2 of their tables for nothing, just to enjoy air con and rest our butts. Hahaha whoops. Basically we made a huge nuisance out of ourselves because we were talking and laughing super loudly. The food took very long to come anyway. So I said, "The food is srsly taking freaking long to come." without knowing that the waitress was just right behind me. Hahaha. Oh and I had a lot of trouble telling them some farting story (NOT ME, MY DAD) because they were eating and I ruined their appetite (unintentional). Like what HJ said we always talk about farts. Not to forget I was severely dao-ed all the way but that's their way of communicating with me, I understand. -,-

They, they not me, don't have dining etiquette too because their idea of passing sweets around was to drop them into your glass of water. So the poor souls whose sweets were dropped in water had to dig their hands inside the water and take it out. HAHA.

Wanted to take the photo down the table but it ended up as a toupai shot.

Giffy's!

Went for shopping after that but it was kinda hard since there were both guys and girls. So Ting came up with a brilliant idea which is to split up and meet up afterwards!! :) The guys continued their shopping at Ion while we girls went to Far East! Helped Mildred choose her dresses too, then the rest of us bought shoes! LOVING MY NEW SHOES A LOT. :) Bought a new clutch bag to complete my teacher look HAHA. Cough new specs cough. Then the guys came over to meet us before we walked to 313 together to meet Xinrui! :D

Didn't managed to enter A&F since there was some mad queue. Sian I didn't go before and I don't really dare to enter if I'm with a few friends. Right I'm weird. The crowd at town was crazy anyway, a lot of people doing some CNY shopping so yeah. Met up with Xinrui and the guys did their usual scare people thing which made two strangers beside Xinrui jumped. -_- Shopped around 313 and I bought a dress (not for CNY). MONEY FLY AWAY~~ :( Oh Mildred's figure is really good anyway!! So me, her and Ting were talking so I suit those dresses that are flowy cute cute kind (NOT I SAY ONE OK), Mil going for the body hugging sexy dress, Ting go for maxi chaolao style haha whoops! But she got the maxi dress feel right~

It was a good and fruitful shopping session anyway. Then Mil, Ting and Geraldine went home so the rest of us spent a longgggg time before deciding to eat at EWF at Orchard Central! What's the thing about going out with a large group? Always ending up in a circle being indecisive. I swear I embarrassed myself yet again when I compared Old Chang Kee's $1 spring rolls to Absolute Thai's $8 ones in front of their waitress. And I spoke to some stranger while I was playing with a mannequin's dress going, "CAN PULL ONE!" excitedly. No wonder they said going out with me this cheapo is an embarrassment everytime, bringing up the MBS incident. :(

EWF- Everything with fries. Some pork burger with curry fries. :)

The food at EWF was damn salty anyway. Maybe I'm health conscious but yeah. Only finished half of my share. Chatted over dinner with the 5 of them over a lot of things and laughed a lot as well. Love hanging out with them 'cause I always laugh a lot with them! :) Xinrui went off early so the remaining 5 of us walked to Plaza Sing and walked around, nothing much actually. Then I took the train home with Yuxian. :) Bad thing about hanging out with JC friends is that everybody live around Singapore.

Me and Ting just realised that we got two exact same sets of clothes for CNY. Thing is, she bought with her mum and sist while I bought with Peiwen so we got totally no idea about this until we were talking about our new year clothes! Same design, same colour, same shop!! TALK ABOUT COINCIDENCE MAN. To an eerie extent! Well not exactly the same because I didn't buy the same shorts cause I ran out of money so, almost. Can't believe this man! Great minds think alike, GREAT TASTE HERE. ^^ We were laughing like mad lunatics after realising this LOL.

Randomly slotting this photo which I tweeted using Xinrui's phone during Christmas party. :)

Oh and regarding my previous post, the last post of 2011 has already out win Homecoming's post being the second top viewed post by 20 over views!! You guys are fast. Then now Homecoming post tie with NSRCC's ROFL.

Discovered a talent today. Am I too slow? Sungha Jung is damn good with his guitar and the songs are so soothing. Well I don't know much about guitars but I really like his music. He can play the piano too! I think people who play the piano are really attractive because they will be so concentrated in the keys they are playing. And serious people are attractive yep. Oh and Sungha Jung is really into the music he's playing, you can tell it. And this makes him charming. And he's so young! He's like a guitar prodigy. So cute. :3 Especially his small eyes. One look and you can tell he's Korean! Oh Mildred looks a lot like Korean too!!!

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light

2012-01-14T22:14:00.002+08:00

Its been long since I last updated! Actually, I've already typed out my post on NYJC's Open House but I've yet to post because I'm waiting for Xinrui to upload the photos, and I'm still waiting! :) So yep let's be patient hoho.

Oh anyway, I went to check my blog's statistics. Apparently the individual posts have stats as well, after the titles have been clicked I think. Then I realised that the highest stats one is the post on You Are The Apple Of My Eye (which is so weird because its just some random posts?!), second being the one on Homecoming & last post of 2011 (the summary post) both being a tie and third is NSRCC! Cool cool. And the series of Day1-Day13 posts of Cambodia has contributed to a significant increase in my blog views! I thought people won't be bothered to read them sia. LOL. And for the Cambodia posts, the one with the most views is Day6 (sunset one) and its also the 4th most read post in my blog trololol, followed by Day1 (understandable), and third is Day9 (LJ to Ang Kor Wat). Haha kind of cool but I don't really understand why. Photos > Content I guess.

Whoo I succeeded in filling this space with more words. :) But yeah, that's fyi, if you're interested. Don't think Xinrui will take too long to upload the photos so, till then~

Oh and, my new found love.

Hehe I find him hot for very long already! :)

Chung Cheng spirit

2012-01-10T23:13:00.000+08:00

So yep, it was the release of Os results ytd! Didn't attend school in the morning and sneaked back to Chung Cheng. Haha before that me and Reg were saying it was like Mission Impossible being so sneaky and all, she being the spy and her LJL being the bad guy since she was forced to attend school. xD So yep, met up with her, Wang, Junhao and Senhou at Khatib MRT and we walked over back to Chung Cheng!

We thought we would be having difficulties sneaking inside CCHY so we wanted to wait till the Nanyang publicity's bus come but then the guys decided to just walk in openly. And surprisingly, the security guard was in a super good mood that day so she just let us in like that! She was even much more lenient than Kenneth Ng saying "Aiyah its okay lah, they are in their full uniform just let them go in~" while laughing. So shocking man, whoo so we went in like that :D

It was the Lower Sec's break time so the school was flooded with short and cheena looking students, with their shirts tucked all the way in complemented with either their above knee shorts or way below knee skirts. Me and Reg looked like we were wearing mini skirts. LOL. We spotted a few Sec 1s floating here and there alone too, so poor thing. But they are so young can, I feel damn old. But I think with my young looks I could just fit in with them, hehe. :P

We felt like monsters too. Us who went through puberty especially the guys who are so tall. And we felt so out of place because the whole school was in white but we were in dirty brown. But after their break and after the canteen was emptied, we went to have lunch at school! Their cai fan!!!! (L) Omg I can still remember how long the queues were everyday, and how good their food is, especially the ji pa! But sadly it was sold out already. It tasted damn good nevertheless, especially my fav curry vegs and kang kong! (L)(L) Damn cheap somemore! Cai fan in Nanyang can cost up to $3 man. Siao. Somemore not as nice. The canteen looked very small suddenly anyway. Can find the people we want to easily unlike in Nanyang, we still need to call up our friends and ask, "Which part of canteen you're at?! Huh? Still cannot see!".

So yep, the publicity people arrived! Then we went to the hall and sort of lectured by the teacher i/c, saying we are tou du ke. Haha whatever~ :P Then yep, walked over and gave up flyers. Me and Sam gave ours to Agogo (MRS GOH :D) to ask her to give out to her students and she really did! Whoo forever our cute teacher. ^^ Settled down and yep. The hall was so cozy, missed sitting in there being one of the students terribly.

So yeah, Mr Ong went through the statistics as per normal but there was no 'WELL LAN' coming out from him this year. Year of 2011 didn't do as well as 2010 but they still did not bad I guess. Whoo class of 2010 is da legend yo!! Love my batch. My batch's NA did well too!! The scariest part was when Mr Ong was going through the class analysis. That was the torture for us last year man. Damn glad that I wasn't the one going through the routine at that time, it must be super torturous. But why is it that the other schools do so well this year? Many of my friends' schools are in Band 1. :/

The traumatising moment.

There isn't that much top scorers this year too. But the top scorer of NA is Tianfu!!! My cousin! Haha well done man, proud of him yo! :) Knew he'd do well but didn't expect him to do this well, being the top scorer! ^^ Haha and I realised that a lot of people thought he's my real cousin but its not! We were just playing all along, we are not related at all, LOL.

Okay anyway, the juniors went up one by one taking their results slips and there was some people who cried. Tears of joy, tears of disappointment, both. Kind of sad seeing people crying man, and feeling helpless since you don't really know that person. And that brought me back to last year. I don't think I saw anyone who cried as long as I did. Yep I qualified for Nanyang, I scored quite well but the C really looked super terrible on my results slip. I expected a B4 for the worse. -_- Come to think of it, it was so embarrassing to keep crying man. Unbelievable as well. Oh well its over anyway!

Forever loving CCHY's toilet! I can just throw my bag anywhere on the floor without worrying its dirtied. Where to find such clean toilets?!

Sam, Reg and Huili :D

Walked around the hall with the girls, kpo-ing over the results. Haha we felt a bit extra but we didn't want to just stone there as well. A lot of people like Aloy lied that they going ITE ah!! I think the Yuanyang's part was damn funny. He didn't even bother to tear open the results slip thing and we were even more anxious than him, looking at him slowly slowly tear... But am happy that our batch of Sec 5s did well! :)

Left CCHY, then had lunch at some coffee shop near Yishun Safra. Didn't go with the initial plan of playing pool there because it was closed, so we just went to Sam's house to nua. The guys played Wii while I just lazed around. Her house was seriously comfy!

Blog about Nanyang's open house another day. But the response was good and it seems like a lot of people are coming to Nanyang! :D A lot of them are impressed by our beautiful school and the FUN PEOPLE!! Research done. A lot of people say we NYJCians are fun people whoo!! :D But really, NY is one of the more fun JCs 'cause we really have a lot of events throughout the year so yep, you won't regret coming to NYJC! :) Hehe love NY.

With Mr Tok. Actually he never teach me before leh. Haha but I think this photo damn hilarious.

Drama, lies and tears. Cheers to the teenage years.

2012-01-09T00:26:00.001+08:00

Spot this at NYJC's open house tmrw! (Incomplete)

Met Peiwen yesterday to do our SL proj follow up because our proj was chosen to be showcased at Nanyang's Open House. Jianwen wasn't free so yep. Met her for four consecutive days already! :) Developed photos at Harvey Norman and I developed all chosen photos from my cam already. Developing photos makes me happy. :)

Bought Macs and ate while doing the proj at some void deck in Yishun! Screw smokers. It was nice sitting there doing work while chatting with her though. She's a nice person to talk to! :) One of the things we talked about is she mentioned that my Tumblr kind of changed after my trip to Cambodia. Before that, my Tumblr was filled with emo and depressing kind of posts, those very negative ones. But now they aren't filled with those types of posts anymore! Yep going to Cambodia sure changed my perspective of certain things and not only that, caused me to foster closer friendships with certain people, which I'm glad for. I see no reason in being stopped all the time from going to the trip because my life would miss out on something really great if I do. I'm glad that I didn't give in last time.

Point is, I've never mentioned this in my blog but I've moved on. I don't look back at the past anymore, I don't even think about it. Though I am still faced with hurtful comments by the same person even though things aren't the same anymore, I see things in a different view now. So I asked around for opinions and yep, my life is definitely happier as compared to the past. I do things without any restrictions, I have my own freedom, I don't get hurt, I'm not faced with unnecessary things that I don't deserve to. Only a few people know how bad it was.

So I went back home and looked at my Tumblr archives and yes, kind of proud of myself that I've moved on and I don't feel miserable anymore. Back then, I didn't know this day would come. Having HT with my friend and hearing him with his problems about girls and relationship matters, I'm damn glad that I'm not involved in such stuffs anymore. :)

Random photos I developed.

Rags, brooms, mops

2012-01-07T22:49:00.000+08:00

Okay so today is CT1110's class SL project! :) In Nanyang, every class has to do a SL, NE and HE project and I'm made the SL rep of the class. So yeah, have to plan the entire thing and submit report etc. Kind of different because there's no such thing back in Secondary school. Yep although I won't be in the same class already but still got to plan a SL trip if not they can't include any SL trip stuffs in their SGCs. But actually I didn't need to attend because I've done my local SL project in ISLE already too! Anyway, being the very lazy me, I decided to collaborate with CT1113 and CT1120 since Peiwen and Jianwen are the SL reps! This will make things easier for me too.

Yep so I met up with Jared at Admiralty first before meeting the rest at AMK since his class is also involved in this. And being the very kind me, I still went to Admiralty Place early to buy him breakfast since he was pleading me to make him breakfast since he's severely broke. But being the well, lazy me, I decided to just buy instead. I'm such a nice friend man. And surprisingly he didn't oversleep and wasn't late for the first time while meeting me, wow. But still, was late for 7min or so.

Met up with class, waited for everybody to reach before setting off to some CC in AMK. Forgot the name. And yes as expected, Ryan was the last to reach and he was late for a good 30min. Good job. Settled down, brief-ed, split into groups and set off to the elderly's houses! This SL was all about cleaning up the elderly's houses as they may not do a good job due to their health issues.

At the CC!

Half of 1120.

Cleaning up.

I was supposed to be the photographer of the day because we still need to do a project follow up after that for Nanyang's open house. But I followed Yuvin and co first because the photo-taking things can start later! We went to an old man's house and he's very cute! He greeted us very warmly and even wished us Happy New Year. :) Haha. Not those kind of bad tempered elderly so yep, everything's good!

Actually his house is kind of clean man. The floor, toilet and everything looked clean and there wasn't any smell at all. Proceeded to clean his living room with Yuvin and Ryan while the rest cleaned the kitchen. Okay lah it was a little dirty but not thaaat dirty! Felt quite accomplished because after wiping some spots and comparing, you could see the area that was cleaned was whiter than the area that wasn't cleaned. Hahaha.

I like this photo :D

Wipe and wipe~

Haha I like Yuvin's face here.

Wiped finished the entire living room and that was when Jianwen came to find me! I dragged him to take photos with me 'cause it'd be awkward for me to turn up at houses taking photos of people I don't know out of a sudden. Peiwen lied to me, she said she would pei me but she didn't. :'( But its okay she's forgiven since she joined us after that too. :)

Anywayyy, we went to Sam and co's group, Jackie and co's group, & Jared's and co's group! Didn't really do anything much. We just went there, snapped photos, then go off already. Took Dettol from Darrick and went back to my unit, then lingered at the corridor while chatting with the uncle and volunteers while Ryan and Jimmy did their final mopping before we call it for a day.

1113! I'm the one with the blue rubber band.

The house owner is a garang guni that's why he got a lot of things to be moved.

The other half of 1110!

Half of 1120!

1113! Haha.

Sam washing toilet with Zhuangxian.

Then back to the household!

Went down for tea break session! Yes there was tea break! I was so thirsty that I finished my Lemon Barley in 1min. LOL zai or what. So yah, chit chatted and stuffs, then played Bang Bang with 1110. It was quite funny, and I won! ^^ Went to the playground and played Ice & Freeze after that. So long since I ran around the playground playing the game that I would play when I was in Primary school! Hahaha how many years ago was that man. Why are we growing up so fast?

Kay out of topic. But yep, it was damn tiring! Especially for me who did not really exercise much during the holidays. Was out of breath after a short while. It was fun tho :D Shouting and running all over the place, freezing and unfreezing people. But its not fun when you're the catcher because you'd have to run and run and catch and catch, after catching this person, you'd see that person being unfreezed in the next moment. Damn sian can! That was how I felt when I was the catcher with Rachel. :( Had to go off already so yep, we failed in catching everyone. Oh well~

Sup yo 1110! Not whole class was here tho :(

Haha Danial, Joey and Angie at the back!

Debrief-ed, then was dismissed! :) Went to AMK Hub with classmates! Haha we didn't really do anything much, basically just sat in the food court and stoned there for very very long. We were too tired and lazy you see. Just wanted to nua. Sat till dinner time and watched them had dinner. Then Jared called to ask if want to go home tgt when he's at Admiralty already? -.- But that's not the point. Point is we were arguing for damn long on the phone over some i-treat-you-you-treat-me issue until Jimmy and co thought we were having a real heated arguement. LOL. I could hear them going "eh Wenchien ok a not? What happened?!" constantly throughout. Haha. But come to think of it I think its 'cause I scolded him bastard for more than 10 times or something.

Left early with Ryan and took the NE train with him for once ah. That person who live in the East.

The SL project was kind of a good experience I would say. But then its quite saddening to see the elderly being so lonely and all. I wonder how life would be like for me when I'm old. Its good to see them happy with our presence too. :) Meaningful in a way.

Oh I recently went to check my blog's statistics and honestly, I don't know who are the people viewing my blog. Because since the blogosphere thingy settled down by a lot after lower Sec days, I don't expect much people to view my blog now but I realised there has been an increase in blog views man. But my point is I don't really like much NY people to know this space here. So yep, I kind of removed my blog link from FB so its impossible to find my blog now! Kinda~ Hehe, till then!! Oh yeah I mentioned this on Twitter, my bro gave me his Itouch!!!!!! :') But its the old one without camera but still, GOOD ENOUGH YO.

Eelin, Sharon, Yuvin and Gen!

Lost in the moment

2012-01-05T00:35:00.001+08:00

Long time since I last blogged! Nothing much too since I haven't been going out these few days. Plan to go out with Ting and Jie today to Queensway was cancelled or should I say postponed, because Ting's mum is sick! Just want to blog about some random stuffs. So I was BBM-ing Lester today and I find this amazing. We were chatting at 12 noon. Being the usual me, I MIA-ed halfway so when I was back, he was sleeping already since it was 11pm there at that time. And he replied me at 8.30pm or so, which was the time he woke up! Okay doesn't sound special or whatever but I find it amazing because to him, its a brand new day already. Hope he's getting used to life in Canada!

So yeah, nothing much about this post just that I'm happy that I developed 1/4 of my Cambodia photos! LOL its only from my camera and it consists of 85 photos in total. I'm short of money so decided to develop the photos into batches. Haha. Have yet to collate photos from YB's hard disk and Ting tho!

I got a photoframe as well. Maybe I'll be sick of this photo sooner or later because its my phone's wallpaper, my laptop's wallpaper and now its been placed in a photoframe so I got to see it every moment. But I really love this photo man! ^^

Got myself a planner cum calendar as well! I've never really finished using planners ever in my life. Yes I'd always be very enthusiastic about it in the beginning but halfway throughout the year I'd be too lazy to bother with it. Which is why I decided to buy a large calendar instead because this way, it'll be placed at my study table in front of me everyday so I'll feel motivated to use it or write stuffs on it. LOL. Must be determined!!

Happy day 'cause I bought new stuffs. Haha simple things lift my mood. Oh I drank Koi today after so long, is it me but why are the pearls getting more and more chewy?? Not a bad thing of course.

My clean table! :D The toys on top are all gifts except for the Ang Kor Wat thing hidden there which I got it for myself. :-) Oh the banana keychain is from one of the Cambodia students!

LOL this was the comment made by Huajie on the photo which they were holding alcoholic drinks to prevent themselves from getting into trouble in case their parents see it. Damn funny I laughed out loud on the spot but, apple juice my foot!

Happy New Year guys!! :) Can't believe 2011 has already ended, just like that! Feeling kind of sad because 2011 was a special year to me, it was very eventful and I can't bear to let it go. :( Check out my previous post 'cause I spent quite an effort digging up photos! For me, I think I ended 2011 and started 2012 well. Yesterday feels like a dream. :)

Oh anyway the plan to countdown was kind of last minute, they texted at like 11pm+? So yep, not much people could make it! Swear I was yelling when I had conference with Jared & YB, then after that YB & Gifford on the phone. I'm always bullied by the guys but its okay, I'm okay. (HAHA YB's catchphrase) Oh I was cleaning my room at the same time as well. Can't believe I finally packed my room, its freaking clean now! :')

Random slotting of photo. No this is not my house haha! No link.

But then it was kind of screwed. Initial plan: 1pm at Bugis. Okay both me and Ting were both late. But Jared said he would be joining us in the evening. (when he was the one who said to meet in the afternoon when I said evening zzz). Geraldine (whom Jared said will be joining us) told us she wouldn't be joining us! HJ MIA, didn't pick up calls. YB overslept. Gifford already said he would be joining us in the evening. So both me and Ting were severly pangseh-ed. We were damn angry okay! We sat at Cityhall for 1.5hr chatting. After that we decided to leave and walk around Marina Square first. Plan to eat at Bugis was abandoned.

Okay so after walking and waiting for 2hrs in total, YB finally reached and the three of us ate at Just Acia first! I ate Spicy Chicken set and they were damn generous with it, the portion was huge but it was very spicy. My mouth and tongue was burning but still, I managed to finish it! :D Okay so was mass texting and stuffs and I don't know how we ended up twitting. Not tweeting but twit. Remember the young childish days? But nope I didn't twit back then!

I THINK THIS IS HILARIOUS ROFL.

So 'cause the chicken was very spicy, I kept drinking the water and had soft served ice cream. Their soft served ice cream is damn nice anyway. :D But Idk why it made me feel like vomitting. So Ting and I left YB there while we went to 7-11 to buy sour stuffs and I felt much better. Giff came afterwards! And Jared finally joined as well. But they took super long. The 3 of us spent a total of 3hrs at Just Acia.

Spicy chicken, but tastes damn shiok!

Then we left, looked at them play at the arcade, then accompanied Jared to eat at Yoshinoya while waiting for Eric to pick Ting up as they went to have their hot date, and that was when my nightmare began. LOL sort of. They kept bully me non-stop especially HJ. I got picked on for every word that I said. Bastard sia.

Okay so we walked to Garrette to buy popcorn but I swear I don't like it. Its either over salty or over sweet so what's so nice about it?! -.- Walked past Esplanade and the night view was damn nice! Its like an annual thing, everytime when its the 31st of Dec, there would be a lot of long spotlights shining. So pretty. :-)

We were in Tower 3! I thought it would be the third one but inferring from my photos from the Skypark, we were at the first one!!! COOL NOT.

Scheming look eh?

Scared?

Super power.

Every year there will be these lights! LOVE IT.

YB, Jared, Giff, HJ.

Note the difference?

Turned pink! :-)

Walked all the way to MBS. Wanted to cross the Helix Bridge but sadly it was closed?! The crowd was crazy anyway. So many people. I really hate crowds man. So yah, was feeling more and more excited because I haven't been to MBS before!!

Look at all the heads ROFL.

Helix.

Hell yeah we are nearing!

We were inside :')

Got a bit lost.

Inside the hotel!!

GOING IN!

Okay we went to the Shoppes and walked around, then went straight to the hotel already! YB collected the card from his family and we went to our room! Ours is at Tower 3 tho! And its on the 9th floor! The room was damn comfy. :D Although its kind of sad we didn't get a suite (cause his family will get a suite every year but didn't managed to get one this year) but its equally good already!! :D

Okay so we nua-ed. I was sitting on the bed initially. Oh the pillow was super soft too!!! But I ended up on the floor Idk why. -.-" It was damn comfy I swear ahhhhh good to be feel rich man! :) Watched some movie on the TV, then had Fried Rice for dinner. Even the fried rice tastes heavenly my goodness~ Slacked for a while more, then we headed to the Sky park!

Mirrors!

I miss the room already, frigging comfortable.

Mirrors haha.

The view from the room!

The TV look small here but its very big man.

Big? LOL.

Testing out my manual mode on my cam for the fireworks later on. I still went to google on what mode should I change to. Like the ISO, shutter speed etc.

Preparing to leave~

Jared and Giff!

Emo shot.

Me looking happy with my MBS free mineral water.

The lift was very fast tho. After transferring, it took like a mere 5s to reach the 57th floor from the 30 something floor. I was so shocked that we reached already! Okay anyway, it was 10pm at that time and it was quite crowded already. It was my first time seeing the infinity pool!! Felt like jumping into the pool so damn much tho Idk how to swim. (yes don't laugh) So we walked at the side area where the water area could only reach our ankles, stood there and looked at the night scenery which was so freaking magnificent! Everything looked so small. We could see the entire city view, including the countdown party at the floating platform! Mad cool please!! The night view was so nice that I felt so emotional. LOLOL Idk why either haha! It felt so good man. Especially so when there was music blasting in the background. Good life, makes you forget about everything!

WHOOHOO EXCITED GIFFY AND ME!

ISN'T IT INSANELY PRETTY THAT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS?!

Everything looks so small.

Pretty Singapore. Proud of our city!

The Channel 5 Countdown party yo!

Testing our manual mode for fireworks again, excited for the fireworks yo.

We stood on all these so the water was slightly more than ankle level.

INFINITY POOL! XOXO.

Fullerton Hotel!

Too beautiful to be true. :')

Leaving this wonderful place. Yep we were at the place where the dude was self camwhoring. LOL. And I thought that girl in the picture was me 'cause she kind of resembles me?! But I was wearing shorts.

So the guys had some trouble with it so they wanted to change. So Jared, Giff and HJ went back to change while I stayed there with YB! That was when I realised that my flash was spoiled. Yah for my cam, I need to attach my flash in order to use the flash and its spoiled. What a time man. Then YB suddenly told me that his mum got us tickets to an event where we could watch the fireworks at a much better view. But there was only 5 tickets so we decided to leave Ting and Eric who would be joining us later at the Skypark. Ideal idea since they could enjoy their last moments together, without us. HAHA.

The reception was damn bad there anyway, everyone was making phone calls or texting so we couldn't contact the three guys and went bare footed into the lift. ROFL. Then we finally saw them at the transit area there so we told them the plans, called Eric and told him, then proceeded to meet YB's family to go over to the party together. So the three guys changed into slippers, Giff into normal slippers while Jared and HJ changed into BATHROOM SLIPPERS LOL. And NYJC PE shorts. They thought we were gonna stay at Skypark that's why but no, we had to walk from Tower 3 to Tower 1, walk out of MBS, then walk on the road (yeah some junction) to go to the Shoppes, take guest lifts and go into some room that looks like a function. And the people attending it were all so well-dressed they were wearing dresses and suits! They looked damn retarded seriously. YB's dad was like :O when he saw the slippers so they got to go back and change.

Something embarrassing happened to me. In the lift,

YB: WC, my mum said she can arrange limo to chauffeur you back home since it will be very late.

Me: Huh, don't want lah its okay! Uhm. Is it free?

Zzz I was such a typical Singaporean I feel like boxing myself. We were in MBS and there was so many rich people inside the lift as well, I swear they were mocking me inside. :(

HAHA COOL A NOT?! Starting new trend please!

Yes back to your maid roles in Cambodia ;)

Tickets!

So the few of us ran all the way from Tower 1 to Tower 3. YAH RUN IN HOTEL LIKE SIAO ONLY. Then I got to hide in the toilet while they were changing outside but I swear my friends are all vainpots. Even I will take shorter time to change but no, I didn't change 'cause I don't have other clothes. So I was kind of under-dressed but heck care lah.

Locked in toilet.

They always isolate me zzz whatever.

Met Ting and Eric at the lift lobby when they reached and handed them the cards! Walked very fast but didn't run through the crowds and headed back to the party area!

Collected our goodie bags, went in, then there was a photo booth so went to take photo there! LOL I LOOKED TERRIBLE BUT ITS OKAY. :/ But yay man I stood at the back for all the 5 photos whoo! Yep as mentioned, there was a lot of rich people inside there, we were so under-dressed. There was live band and all and two professional cameramen with their cameras so I think it'll be on the news or something? Not sure. There was a lot of finger food and drinks too! Giff and HJ drank Tiger Beer, Jared drank White wine and YB drank Pepsi. I drank my own saliva. Hahaha. I had a small sip of Jared's wine and it suckszxzx. So bitter and even tho I only had one sip, my throat was burning for 5min. :/

That thing was retarded! HAHA.

Whoohoo let's party!

Pretty macarons :')

See what I mean by the cameramen? There was one more at the other side.

Beer and wine~

Going down~

Went to the open area which was downstairs to prepare for the fireworks! So yep, the fireworks were showcased after the coutndown! So yep, 2011 WAS OVERRRR! The fireworks was damn nice indeed! But then the sad part is that there wasn't any wind this year, so it was very smoky. Always enjoyed watching fireworks live compred to online or on tv because the atmosphere is so different! The fireworks was about 9-10min long. :) Freaking nice and there wasn't anyone blocking me so whoo! Had some trouble with the camera because uhm couldn't catch the timing. Sad. :(

Was shaking hands with everyone saying 'HNY'. Went back to the room and Jared's face was as red as a tomato. White wine huh. :/ Ate some left over mashed potato which was very creamy. :) LOL we poured curry onto it cause we thought its the sauce. Haha. We wished HNY to random staffs too and they did the same back! That's the spirit man :) But I think its 'cause they are youths like us.

Waiting.

Its starting!

Whoohoo Nex rock! Capture better photos than previous 2 or 3 times!

One of the prettiest one!

Prettiest capture!

Too much smoke.

The rest of the photos are not as outstanding 'cause of my poor photog skills :(

Reminds me of peacock!

Haha this is nonsence.

Rushed back to MBS because YB's mum called a limo for me, Ting and Eric so we got to rush!! Rushed back to the room with Ting and Eric there. They just returned from the Skypark and they said it was damn crowded but the view was unblocked! :) Okay so we took some photos, nua-ed around, then left the place. Didn't stayover 'cause all guys!

Went down and the jam was crazy. Waited for very long for the 'limo' to come. They call it a limo but it wasn't a real limo lah. Haha. So yah, bid the guys farewell and sat in the limo with Ting, Eric and YB's sist! The limo damn cool man. Its super big, leg space was really huge and there's a mini tv in front every seat!! There was free water and wet wipes as well, super comfy. Oh can open the top of the car also! COOL RIGHT. My first time sitting in such a car. :') First time feeling so rich man! Awww. So touched.

So yep, I was the last to alight but the driver sent me to my house there! Reached home at 2.30am but slept at 4am plus 'cause was texting a lot of people and stuffs. It was an enjoyable day and I think by far, my best countdown ever!! :)

So yep, Happy New Year again everyone! All the best for the New Year! :)

Hair why you got hole? :(

TODAY, I felt super under-dressed especially so with the first few hours with Ting. Cause her initial plan was to go Orchard with Eric! Haha we don't even look like friends!

LOL they took 3 photos with different backgrounds and one of them is the bed and I swear it looks so wrong. Idiot HJ who asked them to -.-"

Jared commented that this looks wrong zzzz.

Better LOL. To think he was as the same height as me 12 years ago dammit.

Leaving already :( Gonna miss the place!

The bad traffic jam.

Goodbye! :)

Goodbye 2011

2011-12-31T00:04:00.000+08:00

I don't know if its me, but time seems to be passing a lot faster when you're grown up. Can I know why? I have to say that 2011 is a really enriching year for me. It will be one of those years that I will remember because so many things have happened to me.

Don't want to start the post by saying too much so I shall round up my year like how I did for the previous year. I used to thought that my post to round up 2010 was very long but I think this one to round up 2011 will be way much longer. I read through my post for the previous year and how do I put it.. I think I've grown up. Because I've encountered so much more this year compared to the previous year.

Warning: Freaking long post ahead, super longggg.

So, to sum up my year, I...

...Went to a countdown for the first time in my life. Went to Marina Square with Sharlene and drummers and we waited for the countdown there. Its different to attend a countdown in person compared to staying at home. Because all the people were there damn hyper so the atmosphere was there. Not to mention the fireworks were damn breathtaking!! Good experience. :-)

...Quitted for the first time as well. Yep so I officially quitted my G2000 job not long after the New Year! The job experience was enriching lah but I didn't like it. I don't think I'll ever enter the service industry again man. I don't like it.

...Went to RP, TP, NP & SP's Open Houses! :P Caught Shan Wee at SP!!

...Attended CCHY's CCA Carnival, as an alumni for the first time. Haha. Went back with dancers to watch them rehearse before performing and its kind of sad that we couldn't join them in their performance on stage. But still, we managed to dance with them our weizu and daizu dance at the booths area! After not dancing for months so our formation and everything was in a big mess but still, we didn't care because we were having fun. :) I miss dancing with them so much.

...Took back my O Levels results slip. I remember it being so scary. All of us so silent when we were eating at Ishi Mura, heart couldn't stop beating, trying to shun away from teachers when we reached school, all the statistics etc making you wonder if you were one of those who did as well or one of those that pulled the entire thing down, thinking about every possible outcome, having butterflies in your stomach that weren't able to go away, and finally the agonizing moment when the results slip is in your hands but you don't dare to look at it.

I'm definitely proud of my batch. Best batch I think? :) Helped the school to jump from Band 6 to Band 3, average MSG 12.5. Whoo we did well! :D But yep I broke down for 2hrs straight and it was the only time where I cried so hard in a school before. Because I got a C5 for English I felt like the world was tearing apart. Yep I got the score that could help me get into almost all courses in poly (except Mass Comm which requires B3 for Eng) and so many JCs but the C kind of ruined my result slip. On a brighter note, I got 6As tho!

...Went to NYJC, AJC and YJC's open houses! :) I so regret not going to SAJC's open house but its really too far :(

...Settled my 12 choices!! I know the SAJC and IJC one is a bit funny, but SAJC is too farrr.

...Went for 2D'08 potluck picnic at Marina Barrage! Hmm it felt good to interact and play with my lower Sec classmates because I bet most people don't catch up with their lower sec class already.

...Bought my new Blackberry Bold! :D Whoo! Tho there isn't much apps to be explored and its really a phone for businessman, receiving mails almost instantaneously and whatsoever, I still love my BB a lot. ^^

...Went for 4D's chalet at Coasta Sands Pasir Ris! :-) I think that was my second chalet with 4D after the O Levels, I remember I was spamming chalet last year. Oh we watched 71 Into The Fire at Sam's house before meeting the peeps at the chalet! It was a great movie man. Actually we didn't do much. There's not much things to do at chalets everytime too. Its just chit chatting, then bowling/pool or whatever. But what I like about it is that we get to spend quality time with friends. :) Especially so since we know that all of us would be split into different schools, so yep.

...Got posted to NYJC hell yeah. xD Oh anyway I'm not in Arts stream, I'm more towards Science stream. People said I cheated but NO I wanted to go Arts initially! And I could still enter Science stream too haha.

...Went for NYJC Orientation Camp '11, Eblouissant. I'm in M10, same OG as Jie! Yep we were divided into Monroe, Jackson, Presley and Taylor. Yep all the stars and I belong to Monroe! :D My OGLs are Bryan, Shokling and Janer. Glad to be their OGM because they are really hyper and fun people, making my Orientation days a lot more fun! :) So yep we had subject combi talk, we had lots of games, we went to Sentosa and played in the rain, we had Monroe family dinner at Vivo rooftop, our M10's headcount is the best ever, learnt trad dance and mass dance, had flag painting, had cheering competition (which rock so hard everybody was cheering their asses off), Jiaqing who was competing for the dance king and I was cheering with Jie, Sunchang and Jesmond so hard for him that our image was completely lost (Sunchang almost kowtow-ed LOL), had Disco Night which was the highlight of the entire Orientation! Going crazy dancing and singing along to the songs loudly blasted in the dim lights, awesome atmosphere. :-) And of course, Monroe being announced as the champion house!! We all cheered like crazy man! All our efforts for the past few days didn't go to waste. And the time where we were having our farewell with our own OGs was really sad.

Orientation '11 was a blast and I was so glad that I chose to come Nanyang because of it. :) So yep, I've officially become a JC student, part of Nanyang JC and no longer a student studying in Chung Cheng.

...Went back to CCHY on Chinese New Year Eve. :) Had a super fast CNY celebration in NYJC, then walked around the CCA booths, then went back to Chung Cheng! It felt good seeing all the familiar faces and of course, Mrs Goh who was so happy to see us. Aww xD

...Spent Chinese New Year! :D Okay I couldn't find any photos for CNY lolol but anyway, my CNY was boring. Its always the same, going to relatives' house to visit, then going to Malaysia to some of my relatives' house to visit as well. Not really close with my relatives so I find it kind of boring. :-( Then my relatives all bombing my house creating a havoc here, and me silently wishing that they would faster go home 'cause my super young cousins were being damn annoying to keep entering my room (i hate kids fyi). OMG thinking of having to face all these again next year makes me filled with dread man.

...Officially attended school in Nanyang uniform. :) No more troublesome metallic buttons! Its the ugly brown uniform now! Haha. Oh and I appealed successfully for my subject combination. :-)

...Went back to CCHY and went back Dance to visit laoshi and juniors. :)

...Got posted to my current class, CT1110. :-) My class is special, most of us take the same combi, GCME and all of us take H2 CME. And there are only five guys in our class! Haha. The class is interesting, with many people of very different personalities and its fun at times. Kind of united at how we dislike our teachers too. And I've met many important friends here in 1110. They are really very sweet and caring, like when I'm sad they will keep encourage me and cheer me up and be by my side!! Really appreciate their company in 1110 man. :)

...Joined Floorball as well. I didn't join Dance because they don't require any dancers for SYF '11 so our SGC won't look good. Its a big change for me since I'm not that into sports. I didn't try being commited to sports before so yep. It was tiring and having to travel all the way to Mountbatten for every training kind of suck. Mountbatten is so frigging far!! Actually I didn't know what makes me join Floorball too.

...Did my first project in NY, Chem Project with Sharon, Angie and Andy. :) The project was kind of useless man. But I remember me enjoying my time doing the project with the three of them tho. :)

...Went to ISLE Selection Camp. :) Was in the same group as Jie again! Haha we're always fated during camps like this man. I remember I was in Group C, and we called ourselves "So cool ah!". Haha I remember everyone who was in C can click with one another well and I met my primary school friend there! JUNWEI! He was so familiar that's why I demanded him to tell me his Primary & Secondary school. Admiralty Primary yo. xD Played some water bombing game in the parade square, then had some SL thing so we walked around Serangoon neighbourhood offering drinks to strangers, played the 100 Seconds No NG game and it was super tiring. We tried the same thing over and over again and we finally achieved our timing of 98 seconds! Fun. :-)

So yep, I got into ISLE and was in Team India! Same as Ting and Jie. :) Fyi, ISLE stands for International Service Learning Expedition. Its something like OCIP, Overseas CIP. :-) But I realise that in JC, there's no such thing as CIP but only Service Learning.

...Had Innofest in NYJC! Kind of lame leh. I pon-ed the second session with Jie and Huili I remember.

...Attended NYJC Sports Carnival. It was held at Bedok reservoir. I don't think we did much 'cause our class was late so we missed a few games. But we participated in dragonboat! Hehe kind of shiok tho it was scary how we DB-ed at Bedok Reservoir. -_-

Celebrated Ting's birthday eating steamboat at some place in AMK after that too! :D Simple celebration but its the company that matters. :)

...Attended Floorball Camp '11! I remember us training in the day, then after all the showering and stuffs, we went to AVA room to watch a horror movie, followed by a nightwalk! The nightwalk was scary lo. Imagine walking around the school at midnight, damn terrible. Did Beep test, played Running man, studying session but we just napped for the entire session, had PT (but we were playing Thumb Thumb while PT-ing), had bonding games with the guys, and the most tiring part. Being woken up at 3am in the middle of the night having to do a lot of PTs is no joke.

...Yours truly turned seventeen! :D Appreciate all those who wished me Happy Birthday. :) CCNY celebrated for me outside GNC after my lesson ends, which was like 5pm I remember? Econs tutorial was my last lesson. Haha. So yep, simple celebration again but heartwarming. :-) Thanks guys!

...Went back to CCHY to take testimonial as well as to go Dance to visit laoshi and juniors with Ting and Reg!

...Celebrated Reg's birthday at Pastamania and we surprised her with Rach!! :D

...Had Amite Carnival while Reg had her Hexco campaign thing! Haha we cheered like mad for her man! Image lost again.

...Had M10's first outing to Mind Cafe. :) Great day spent with good company. I remember we were talking about a whole lot of things in the restaurant while we were having dinner, we spent like 2hr inside and after that, we lepaked outside Marina Square and it was my first time being screened by police! Kind of cool. xD But they just took our i/cs, nothing much.

...Attended ISLE Bonding Camp! :) I was grouped into Group C again, but this time we call ourselves Sexy! B) But this time I wasn't grouped with Jie already, so sad. Our camp took place in Labrador Campsite and the whole place resembles a very old school. But anyway, we played a lot of games, bid for food with the points that we have, cooked our own food, learnt how to fold balloons, starting our trekking session which we covered for like 5 stations including Henderson Waves, then finally debrief-ed at Vivo. Kind of tiring but a good experience I have to say.

...Went for ISLE SL Project at a childcare near Hougang. Basically some of them performed for the kids, then we interacted with some of them, making them balloons and stuffs.

...Watched through the results for GE '2011. Was really disappointed with the results. George Yeo anyone? But it was also my first time being so concerned with the politics! Staying up till 3am+ is no joking matter! Haha.

...Attended The One 2011. :) Its a talent competition organised by NYJC's SCs. An eye opener because I didn't know so many of my schoolmates are that talented. A fun night as well because I was enjoying how certain people were so into the atmosphere that they were screaming whatever they can, was really funny.

...Supported NYJC against HCI for Volleyball A Division match! The atmosphere at that time was super crazy. Both schools spamming cheers and all, it was very thrilling as well! Felt a strong sense of belonging to Nanyang at that moment. And yep, Nanyang won! :D

...Attended Filmfest '11! I had a great time laughing at Eric with his ah pek role.

...Had our first ISLE Team Luceat's outing to Sentosa! :) We had some forfeit, we played frisbee, we played captain's ball, the guys threw one another into the water but most girls remained safe 'cause either its that time of the month or we didn't bring extra clothes.

...Attended some SL workshop thing. Hmm it was really boring and we had to waste 2 days of our June holidays in this workshop. But Farizmi was such a joker he made the workshop less boring by a whole lot. And luckily I was in the same group as Peiwen! :D

...Attended Floorball farewell party for seniors. :) It was held in school and it was at night! I don't think we did much. Just played around, took photos, had farewell video for the seniors and had buffet too! But sadly, I quitted Floorball not long after this. Just, had no interest in Floorball and its really too far.

...Bought my Sony Nex camera, with my own salary hell yeah.

...Attended 4D'10 chalet, fully sponsored by RP! :) It was held at NSRCC again and that has became my favourite chalet already. So clean and so well equipped and everything. Though its really isolated. So yep, nothing much about chalets basically. Caught up with friends, played the arcade, played pool, played Murderer and Likwee was so frigging scary but he provided a lot of entertainment for us, slacked around, went to the beach, etc. Hehe life's great with good company. (Y)

...Had my first official examinations in Nanyang! The Mid Years! I did average I guess.

...Bought my first laptop! Hehe Vaio. :-) 2011 is good because I had a new phone, new camera, and new laptop! Whoo. ^^

...Went to visit Bukit Timah Railway Tracks with Ting and Eric before its closed down for good. Its a beautiful place! Its like my first time there if I'm not wrong? I don't really take trains. Either I go to Malaysia by car or by bus so yep. Its kind of sad that the place is closed down already because Singapore is so modern and all so its rare to have places like that. But well, we got to look ahead anyway.

...Attended Viva La Music '11! Before that, was crazying with classmates and randomly snapping photos away. Haha. Went there with M10! Not bad lah, my schoolmates are talented people. :) Went to Bishan for late supper with my OG before heading home too!

...Had National Day dinner with CCNY peeps, thanks to Elyn! She invited us that's why we got to go. The food was superb, 9 course dinner that's why. And it was my first time seeing the fireworks so up close it was so pretty. But I still don't know how to take fireworks photos using my new camera so the photos turned out to be shitty.

...Had A Levels Chemistry SPA! Felt like any other SPA lesson.

...Attended CCHY Homecoming 2011!! For alumnis and it felt real good to see all the familiar faces back in your old familiar school. Although we didn't do anything much, just plain catching up but its sufficient.

...Had Little Phillipines Amazing Race! Its not that everybody have a chance to run around Orchard Road and all over Lucky Plaza doing weird stuffs and interviewing strangers. xP

...Attended 4D'10 chalet! Its the third chalet we had this year! We are such pros zomg. And yes its held at NSRCC again whoo! We chilled again, we watched FD5 but me, Sam and Juinying were a bunch of weaklings, we watched Jackass, we attempted to do homeworks, we messed around with RP's Ipad, and we had buffet and its all sponsored by RP again! Generous guy. :) And we celebrated RP's belated birthday as well.

...Had local SL Project with Team Luceat at some childcare! Partnered with Jared and our group of children were a mess. Having internal conflicts and all especially so since they were a bunch of guys, yes only guys. Kids are a major headache ah. Ended up going to Jared's house with some people, attempted to study but failed and ended up shouting over Wii, then had dinner at 888 Plaza! Tze Char dinner and it felt like we are one big family. Hehe. :)

...Took part in Project Pathway II. Its a project initiated to build a pathway from the parade square to the gym area, sort of like a short cut and its safer this way since NYJCians would climb the rocky road and it may be dangerous. So ISLE'10 and ISLE'11 were i/c of it. Team Luceat, Team Vivace, Team Mosaic and Team Elle. So we acted like construction workers. It was damn tiring kay. Me and Ting were tired after 10min. Lol no joke.

...Sent RP off to UK at the airport. :) Woke up damn early and was at the airport very early as well. Its my first time sending a friend off and it was very sad to me, especially when RP was bidding his final farewell to us and heading towards the gate. Oh well but at least we now know that he's enjoying his time there and that's what matters isn't it.

...Attended Night Study & NYJC sometimes, where we would study until night time and reaching home late in our uniform. Its the time where you will see everybody studying, the school still being occupied even when its late at night already. :)

...Had Promos, the second major exam in NYJC.

...Attended Walk For Rice. :) Its a charity walk and for every few distance we walked, we could donate dk how many kg of rice! So yep, we walked 7.5km all the way from school to Lower Peirce reservoir I think. Damn tiring, my legs almost broke that day.

...Celebrated Jie's birthday after school at Nex's sky garden! LOL I can still remember how I ran up and down all over Nex for 4 million times. And yep we go for simple celebrations everytime! :)

...Celebrated Huili's birthday at Vivo's roof garden too!! :-) Watched a movie, then settled dinner at the roof area and we surprised her with a cake and Inies' appearance! x)

...Had Little India Learning Journey!

...Had my first 111111! :-) Spent my 111111 at Yeowboon's house and that was my first time there. Played games, took photos, simple but fun day.

...Had a total bad experience with PW. Yep from PI, GPP, WR, EOM, I&R, OP. It was quite a torture. You won't understand it until you went through it. Racking our brains hard, staying up late till middle of night or even next morning just to hand in our report on time. Such a torture. I can't believe its officially out of my life man. Glad to have Berwong as my teacher tho. He's a really nice and experienced PW teacher so he really benefited 1110. I won't forget my group too! NY042. :-) We always meet up during the holidays, after school or during breaks just to chiong our PW. At the start we were lagging real bad and wasn't even in par with any other group but luckily we endured through. We met a lot of difficulties but in the end we overcame all of them! Proud of us. :)

...Didn't manage to promote for the first time in my life. But its common in JCs so its k. I studied, I studied frigging hard but I don't know what went wrong. My studying method? Wrong subject combi? But I didn't regret appealing for my subject combi because if I did not, I wouldn't have met all these wonderful people! Afterall, friendships are built to last and everyone graduates, its just a matter of time. I'm okay and chill with it. What makes me sad is that I won't be graduating with all my lovelies. But if all these can exchange me with a much better A Level cert, get into a much better course and uni, why not right? I am optimistic so yep! I'm fine. Because of all these disappointments (including my EL grade for Os), I will become a much better and stronger person. Besides I can accept this because I admit my JC foundation is not good. Not used to lectures tutorials style maybe? But yep. Life goes on. :-)

...Had my first stayover! Swear I had so many first times. Haha stayed over at Yeowboon's house with ISLE people. Idk how we did it but we tonned the whole night and what's more amazing is that there was school the next day, then ISLE parents briefing all the way till 9pm. So we turned up in school looking all zombie-fied.

...Went back to CCHY with dancers for Chinese Dance Camp '11! :-) Didn't stay long tho, we went there after school and only stayed for a couple of hours. Its a pity Haona laoshi wasn't there! But aye, watching them dance makes me miss dancing so much. Nice meeting up with the dancers too tho. :-)

...Had lots of ISLE preparation during the pre holidays period. Everytime when there's break regardless of its duration, or after school, we will just head to 5-35 and slack or chillax there, or just continue with our props. Then we will go for lunch together, then head back to 5-35, or after that we will go dinner together. Hold facils there with the teachers, have dance and skit practice and everything. Life was good and simple.

"Gonna miss preparation days so bad. Everyday before lectures, go to 5-34. During breaks (regardless of how long it is- be it 30min, 1hr or 3hrs), go to 5-34. After school, go to 5-34. After lunch at Nex together, go to 5-34. Everything, go to 5-34. Haha we spent a whole lot of time there packing stuffs, practicing skit/dance, or even lepak-ing with the music blasting out loud and singing along to it. And also, we spent a lot of time bitching inside, crying inside, comforting one another, kp-ing the teachers together. Aw, times which I won't forget. :-)

Had a lot of fun going for lunch together, playing, making fun of one another, drawing all the edu package stuffs, packing all the log stuffs, bubble wrapping them, whatsapping during lectures, practice skit together, practice dance together, then staying at school until 7.30pm, splitting into various groups to board the Circle Line train, eating dinner together, taking the train home together, then reaching home at 10pm. Even tho its freaking tiring everyday, but we know we enjoyed it and that's what's the most important."

...Went for my first OCIP and first school immersion trip to Cambodia! Yep we were Team India initially but because of various reasons but the main one being India just had its earthquake at the place we were heading to, we changed location to Cambodia so everything was super last minute. Have to thank the teachers a lot for rushing in proposals after proposals in such a short period of time just to make the trip possible and letting us have such a memorable experience. Grateful is the word.

Going to Cambodia gave me a lot of first times as well. First time living in a village, for one. The village stay was the toughest one but yet, the part of the trip where all of us miss the most. You don't have such a chance easily. To live in somewhere where there's no internet, no electricity supply, no water supply, countless of insects, wild dogs, wild cats, half naked children, and you have to sleep without fans not to even mention air con, sleeping on mats and nets over you.

Everyday wake up to the sound of roosters crowing, brushing teeth and washing up by the small stream outside the house because there's no such thing as sink, sitting in a circle with your friends and teachers like one big family eating and sharing plate with 1 or 2 people, walking the 2min route to the nearby school for teaching/ construction, being greeted by lots of warm children, feeling accomplished when the students you are teaching shows interest/ responds to you/ knowing they absorbed what you teach, or be it doing construction under the scorching Sun for hours but didn't mind 'cause you know what you were doing will benefit the children, going back to the villagehouse for lunch, taking mini breaks, having quality time playing games with team mates, back to doing your duties after the few hours break, coming back to the villagehouse for dinner, waiting for your turn to shower and before you do, pump water from the pump water area, washed plates and had pop singing session with the team, didn't have to care about how loud we all were because we were in a village, shared hot drinks with everybody with the few mugs being passed to everybody, using torchlight to write our diaries before having facils with the teachers, then rushing off to wash up with the few 15min or so before the generator turns off and it would be completely pitch dark, and for me & Ting, busy squeezing baby cockroaches clearing them from our nets before we sleep so they won't fall onto our faces when we sleep, chatting about random stuffs with Ting, Xinrui and Jiayan (who were beside us) before the sound of the generator turns off and all we could hear was insects. :-)

So damn memorable. Simple but enjoyable lifestyle. Carefree, stress-free, tho there's no FB or Twitter or whatever, we enjoyed life to the fullest. Besides, life is so meaningful everyday.

Life in the city was good too. Being on the bus, sleeping to the tour guide's voice, (bus rides are usually nap time) eating 9 course meals at restaurants and being the only usual ones in the restaurant, having learning journey taking random group shots enjoying one another's company, back resting at the guesthouse, blackout during showering, writing diary while Ting was showering, having facils at the top floor open area of the guesthouse, sneaking into Jared's and Giff's room for cauliflower session with the usual people, then sneaking off to YB's and HJ's room with Ting, Jean and Yunwen to sleep there. We wake up every morning knowing that there's something to do. We lived life to the fullest.

I miss Cambodia so frigging much. How I wish we could spend more time there and I was dreading the time to come back to Singapore actually. Life was so good back then but good times don't last. Nevertheless, I'm glad that at least, I have this memory that not everyone can have. And I think, this Cambodia trip is the best thing that've ever happened to me in 2011 and it played a big role in making my year eventful. :)

...Had tons and tons of meetups with Team Luceat that my other friends have been telling me that we seem very bonded! Went to Sentosa, had several studying sessions and impromptu meet ups. ;)

...SMRT had some major problems. Its not their fault because yes they have been working fine and making lives easier for us for so long, so its not right to keep blaming them when problem arises. But I got to admit that if you're affected by it, you will be really pissed. I was affected by it for two times. I was stranded once. But because of that, I had HTHT with Jared and YB. We talked about a lot of stuffs, I shared with them some stuffs and what they said made me feel a lot better tho. Appreciate it.

...Celebrated Sharon's birthday with classmates and soccer guys! :) It was my first time seeing them after school closed man. Haha feels good to see familiar faces. And yep that was the time where Praveen almost overturned the whole frigging table and broke the glass. Luckily it wasn't included in the menu.

...Had Christmas Party with Team Luceat with retro being our theme. Damn special right! Everyone looked astounishing that day and I'm proud that all of us took the efforts to dress up! Had a simple but crazy night that day, definitely the best party that I had. Played games, exchanged gifts, played Sparklers, played Pinata, watched movie, ton-ed, helped YB to move house (not really). Unforgettable. :)

...Spent a simple Christmas hanging out with ISLE peeps walking around Novena, Orchard, and hanging around outside SOTA talking with one another. :)

...Sent Lester off at the airport! My second time this year sending a friend off for studying abroad and well, I really hope the best for him. Will definitely miss his presence and I'm sure school will be boring without all his jokes and tactless comments.

So yep, all these round up my 2011. Pretty enriching and interesting I think. One of my best years so farrr! I guess the best thing that happened to me was the Cambodia trip and the worse? Retaining. T^T HAHA. But yep, I've met A LOT of new friends in 2011 and I really appreciate their presence in my lives! Kind of sad that 2011 has come to an end and I hope 2012 will be a smooth-sailing one for me.

All the best in 2012 people! Stay healthy and happy all the time! :)

Till we meet again ✈

2011-12-29T18:13:00.000+08:00

Hi I know its been quite long since I last updated but its not my fault! Because I don't have any photos since Lester and Glen haven't upload the photos yet but NOW I HECK CARE. They take too long.

Hmm so yep, Lester flew off on Monday and we went to send him off! Met up with Sharon, Yuvin, Jimmy and Praveen and we took bus 858 to Changi Airport! I was severely deprived of sleep because the normal me would wake up at 1pm or even 2pm usually so waking up at 8am was a major challenge for me. But I couldn't fall asleep on the bus and the bus was freezing cold. Ugh. So yep, when we almost reached, I could see all the airplanes and it instantly reminded me of Cambodia! Okay actually I was already reminded of Cambodia when I was sleeping on the bus because that was what all of us would do during bus rides. How I wished I woke up in Cambodia on our usual bus with Ting and YB beside me and the tour guide standing in front of all of us. But all these are just wishful thinking.

Okay being at T1 makes me miss Cambodia so much more!! And we freaking passed by Row 7! The spot where I waited with my mum and the whole team, the spot where our family and friends stood to send us off. Oh dear. :'( So I kept whining all these to them and they were kind of mocking me. But I really miss Cambodia so freaking much!! I felt so helpless because I know those memories will only remain as memories and there's nothing I could do about it.

Poor quality 'cause koped from Lester's FB!

Okay so we hurried to KFC to finish off our gift and we spent approximately 1hr. But the gift was still damn chio okay. 80% self-made and we did this in the last hour, proud of us! It was super stressful at that point of time because we didn't want to just go, hand Lester his gift, then say bye already. But anyway, there was still 25min left so we rushed to Row 1!

A lot of people were there already so yah. Kind of awkward at first with so many people including his Anglo Chinese friends but yep, passed him his gift, took photos, the usual stuffs lah. Then walked him to the gate area. And that reminded me of Cambodia also because we took our group photo there in front of the gate! LOL they said I was sad because of Cambodia but not cause of Lester's departure. Oh well. Yep I admit I wasn't really sad because he will be back in 6 months! :) But I will definitely miss him and all his tactless jokes tho. Tho they may piss me off at times. Haha. :P

This was the photo I meant!

Went to T2 and went to eat at the staff canteen with the huge bunch of people and was supposed to study with Sharon, Yuvin, Jimmy, Ryan, Glen and Billy but 'cause the vegetarian stall was closed, Jimmy got nothing to eat so we travelled to T3! Then back to T2. Then we studied at Macdonalds! The Macs there is huge anyway. So yep, managed to study for a while but I got to leave early 'cause I reached home at past midnight the day before. :O

Specially walked to T3 (yes I walked, never take Skytrain) to take 858 back 'cause I want to sit down. LOL. Fell asleep on the bus ride back and my head dropped 3 times sia wts. So embarrassing and I got to wake up 3 times pretending nothing happened. -.-

Have been staying at home these days because plan to eat with Jared and YB and Geraldine always got cancelled! AIYOH. Next time I know better! :/ So today, after the plan got cancelled, I got bored so I went for a stroll, and in the afternoon I specially travelled to CWP to buy 3 packets of Taiwan ji pa and 1 Each A Cup tyvm. :-)

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-26T01:30:00.001+08:00

Hello all, Merry Christmas! :)

My Christmas Eve was spent at home. Initial dinner plan on Christmas Eve was cancelled due to some reasons so I stayed at home watching movies on Funshion! As for my first half of Christmas, I spent my day with Funshion too. Hahaha Funshion has officially become my best friend. :)

I finished watching Dear John. Not too bad. :) I watched Bridesmaid, John Tucker Must Die and Step Up. Actually I watched all 3 Step Up but I'm now re-watching them 'cause Idk what else to watch. So yep. Bridesmaid is not that funny actually, its uhm average and John Tucker Must Die is kind of boring I must say. Oh well. I want to watch Last Song but its unavailable! :( ANY MOVIES TO RECOMMEND?

So yep, oh impromptu decision with classmates to meet up. So proposed plan was to meet at Dhoby at 1.30pm but guess what? I freaking woke up at 2.30pm. LOL gave it a miss in the end so that's why I spent my day with Funshion instead. After that, I got ready and went out to meet Ting!

We were both early (K actually we were on time but the guys were late) so we walked around first and after years, YB finally reached. So we decided to go into Thai Express first to wait for HJ, who was late for 20min. Brilliant. -.- Okay so we chatted about stuffs and ate! I love Thai Express man. I love Thai and spicy food. :D So shiok. Poor Ting she couldn't even survive tho she only drank one spoonful of my Tom Yam soup. Sigh its a pity when people don't know how to eat spicy stuffs because most good food are spicy, no?

Mine, Boon's and HJ's!! LOVE THE TOM YAM, SHIOK.

Ting's BBQ Chicken. Haha.

Gifford shocked us by turning up early. When I'm with them, the dao-ing game will always be played. Forever being dao-ed I'm already used to it. Not gonna join YB's and Jared's Forever Alone game man. Okay anyway, we were saying that YB, Giff and I have baby faces. And they said that I look like I'm 5 or 6, actually its Sec 2, while Ting looks like she can pass off as our mother. HAHAHA.

Okay we met Mildred and we went to Udders after that! :-) I had Vanilla Beanz. Uhm its just Vanilla. Honestly speaking I don't think its nice. Its not as smooth and Blue Pumpkin is so much better. Blue Pumpkin's Vanilla is damn smooth and nice, their Baileys is good too. Okay so there was one section that contains alcoholic ice cream but it was stated that you must be above 18 to try it. But Giff and YB managed to buy them! Actually its just tiramisu but the alcoholic content is the highest among all. It was really damn strong. I tried two mouths and I couldn't take it already. A bit burning and it tasted like Baileys?

My Vanilla Beanz which is uhm, Vanilla.

Yb's double scoop of Tiramisu and Peanut.

So yep they had a bit difficulty eating it as well. Okay after that, we went to the toilet. Mildred was saying she heard Gifford coughing so we were damn worried. After that, HJ came and tell us that they were puking inside! YB coughed a bit and Gifford really puked. So we walked to 7-11 wanting to buy sour stuffs for them but when we came out, the both of them were sitting outside like some drunkards! We were damn shocked and panicky okay! YB couldn't even walk straight. Then YB said he really felt super unwell so he wanted to head home. So we went to the road there trying to hail a cab and while doing so, Gifford was sitting on the floor with his head between his hands. Can't even describe how worried and helpless the 3 of us were!! After a while, they said they felt okay already so we walked to Novena MRT. Then YB almost fell down on the way there so we were like "OMG" but halfway while walking there, HJ turned and said to us.

"You gullible level 120%, you gullible level 130%, you gullible level 140%!!" YES ALL WAS A LIE. Dammit. What kind of friends do I have?!?!

But okay that was actually the highlight of the day tho we were so fuming mad and scolded them all the way. Met Jared at Orchard MRT and some of us wore Santa hats while walking on the roads. The Christmas atmosphere thing was bullshit. Yes the lights were pretty and everything but the people were practically like zombies walking with poker faces. The guys were randomly going "Merry X'mas!" to strangers and they were ignored most of the time. Aye cold Singaporeans. We bought some snacks at a 7-11, then walked to sit at SOTA and chatted. Simple day spent with great company. :-) Took the train home afterwards and reached home at past midnight. :/

More photos of ice cream for you. I didn't take much photos except for the food that day.

Retro Christmas

2011-12-24T15:00:00.000+08:00

I had the best party that I've attended so far already. :) Yep, it was Team Luceat's Christmas gathering/ party on Thursday!

Some peeps met up early at Nex to buy some stuffs but me being the lazy me, decided to go to YB's house alone after that since I've been there for so many times and I'm already familiar with the route already. So I nua-ed all the way at home, then brought my jellies out with me. It was a potluck session so everyone was supposed to bring their own food and I planned to bring chicken wings with Geraldine initially. But we realised that it would turn soggy so we decided to bring other stuffs instead. But the jellies were damn heavy man, I had so much trouble lugging them. Impromptu decision to meet up with Jean and Yunwen at Lorong Chuan so I brought them to YB's house!

Anyway, our theme for the party is RETRO. So yep, I borrowed my outfit from Reg's mum! Both Jean and Yunwen wore their ourfits all the way to YB's house. Hahaha. I wore NY PE attire beforehand. So yep, Ting, Jiayan, Dionis, Gifford and YB were there already. The three of us couldn't recognise Dionis at first!! SHE WAS DAMN COOOL. B)

ISLE yo. :-)

Dionis, Jean, Jiayan and me! We were saying that Jiayan looks more like a bar girl. Haha.

Balloooons.

Don't Gifford looks like a robber?!?!

Jean, Yunwen, Chien, Ting, Geraldine and Dionis! Loving my knee high length socks. Haha the only chance where I can wear it. I don't even know why the hell did I buy it initially.

Jiayan helping Mildred to tie her two ponytails! HAHA.

Yunwen and Jean :D

With the girls ^^ Mildred, Dionis, Jiayan, Yunwen, Chien, Jean, Gerry, Ting, Joey and Shakes with her shades B)

HAHA Mildred looks like a small kid here!

Idk why me and Shakes are always outcasted when they do this pose. Same goes for the first group photo at the top of this post. :/

Gong face.

Haha Shakes ah.

Piggtails!!

Okay so we waited for the rest of them to come while we slacked and chilled around. Helped with the decorations for a while then some of the people came already!! Okay lah not everyone looked retro but can tell that everyone put in efforts! Yay proud of us xD Filmed some videos and took some pictures while waiting for everyone to reach. The videos were aye, funnnny. My crazy bunch of friends. I will upload them onto Facebook when I have the time I guess.

So the guys finally went to prepare their retro outfits in YB's room and they took freaking long. They took near to 1hr. We girls took like 10min (?) to prepare only man, bunch of vain dudes. So we girls were really impatient and we were ranting about it outside the room. We tried to push ourselves into their room for 2 times but both attempts failed because guys are much stronger naturally. Suck man. So the girls wanted me to act angry and scold them since I can be one of the fiercest girls (since when did this became my image?!) but didn't do so.

After millions of yearrrrrrrs, we finally spotted them!! And yes they looked super retro. HAHA THAT'S THE SPIRIT YO. Suspenders with waxed hair, way to go man. :D But I have to admit that they look like Charlie and Robert Zhang in The Little Nyonya. And Gifford actually look kind of like an uncle, I wonder if he stole his dad's clothes or something! HAHA.

Spotted! HAHA.

Shawn and Gifford LOL!!

With Geraldine!

Many people said I look like jap girl. :O

Gerry!

LMAO!

With HJ aka Num yo.

Autistic. :/

The girls!

#likeaboss

So after everyone arrived, we headed to the dining area to have our dinner! There was super loads of food and it was impossible to finish all man. Jianwen's filling fried rice saved the day. HJ's sushi was good, even better than those served in Cambodia's restaurant. Haha he qualify to be a chef man. He's so good with the goreng pisang in Cambodia too. Xinrui's brownie was one of the best I think. Can be sold in bakery lo! And Mildred's seaweed chicken was good too because aye, its just removing it from the packet and frying it. LOL.

But the main point is, everyone squeezed around the dining table and it felt like a family, just like how we ate during the village days in Cambodia. :-)

These are not the only food mind you.

After that, we headed back to the Karaoke room for the exchanging of gifts session because a few people had to leave early. Kind of sad that we couldn't bring the Christmas tree down to the room and put the gifts under the tree so the gifts were put nicely into one corner. And I'm so angry that everyone lied to me!! Okay it goes like this. The team has 20 people and 19 attended because Uyen is overseas. So I didn't know who my Secret Santa was and I was guessing that its Uyen (so unlucky because her recipient will be the lonely soul) but people were telling me that Jianwen is her recipient.

So when the guys were like, "Okay let's start with Uyen's first. Which one of you think that you're Uyen's recipient?" I didn't even think that I'd be the one. So they kept counting down and I was sitting there thinking, "Aye Jianwen still doesn't know." BUT TURNS OUT THAT ITS ME. Cause by the count of 10 I didn't admit it so all of them bombed me with balloons. Wts.. So yah, lonely me~ And the whole exchanging of gifts session carried on like that with us preparing balloons, standing by, to hit every recipient. It was fun xD

Jean!

Violenttttt. Haha.

Aww :)

Chaos.

Haha poor YB.

After everyone got their gifts, the whole team sat in a circle and unwrapping of presents began. I was so lonely. Good thing is the welfare team prepared chocolates for me so at least I have something to unwrap. LOL. Then everyone was thanking one another their gifts and happy smiling at their gifts while I sat there staring at the floor. Haha joking. It may be a good thing 'cause now I have 2 gifts! They must have bought Kisses purposely 'cause I spammed Kisses at Cambodia's supermarket.

Special recipient how lucky...

Jean trying damn hard to unwrap Yuxian's gift to her.

Same goes to Gifford.

Surprise by Giff and YB! Aw.

So we were like, "Merry X'mas to us, Merry X'mas to us~~~"

Team Luceat (L)

The four girls behind trying to give the tiko look. :P

Jiayan the bar girl! :P

Jean, Geraldine, Joey and Yuxian!

Haha Yuxian look damn cute.

Them trying to style Shakes' boyf's hair when he came to fetch her.

Giff looks like those '80's hairdresser siol.

Must be sitting there and regretting letting them do his hair.

Messy.

Maodred! She damn mean, everytime call me trannychienny on Twitter. But kay lah she look cute here! :D

Shakes!!

Jean and Yunwen again :)

Jean, Mildred, Dionis and Yunwen!

HJ wth is wrong with you.

Xinrui!

Dionis!

Jean!

Geraldine!

LOL.

So yep. After that, we proceeded to our first game, which is somewhat similar to Musical Chairs. Everyone will spin on the ground for 10 rounds, then walk around while we are blindfolded. After that, when the music stops, we will have to grab a balloon and you're out if you do not have a balloon. That simple. :)

It was very crazy lo!! It felt damn scary because you were blindfolded and you don't know where you are and who you are touching. Hahaha everyone was screaming all over the place. I was one of the last two contestants with Mildred for the first round and its hell scary man. I was touching people but Idk who and was crawling all over the ground. But luckily I won Mildred! :P The second round was scary as usual, I got a balloon but decided to request to be out of the game 'cause I accidentally hurt myself while crawling on the ground. LOL like a stupid.

So I was observing people after that and its damn funny. Everyone looked so desperate, HAHA. Had a lot of fun. ^^ After that the guys played solo among themselves and we girls were screaming like mad because their hands were roaming freely and we were so scared that they touched us. But chillax 'cause nothing happened. :)

Giff and HJ demo-ing.

Spin~~~

HJ with my agar agar in his mouth ROFL.

After that, a few of them went to prepare for the next game while the rest of us sang Karaoke in the room! So after singing for quite long, we proceeded to our second game.

Our next game is somewhat similar to Pinata. Everyone will choose a balloon and they will have to poke through the balloon to collect sweets. The number of sweets inside the balloons ranges from 0-10 and its mixed with water. So its all about luck uh.

Mine was suay. Jared and YB were damn mean. I think 'cause I made some reckless comments before that (can't rmb what 'cause I always say the same about them, either they suck or bastards) so they fooled with me uh. Others count from 1-3 mine all the way till 10. Best thing? I only had 1 sweet. WTHECK. Buddy with HJ lah, both of us only had 1 sweet. But its k since Jared has none. B) Can choose to go for another round 'cause the two people with the least sweets have to do forfeit. And my second time was so bad because it had A LOT of water. Oh well at least I have 7 sweets after that! :)

Xinrui!

Jianwen's was epic. Haha.

Me.

Mildred! Heh.

Ting!

But it was getting real late so some people had to go. So we didn't really have the forfeit and as for the remaining balloons, we just played some passing game, hoping the balloons would be burst by itself. And if you miss catching the balls for 3 times, we will burst the balloon on you and guess who was the lucky one. Haha its Ting! :P

Played Sparklers after that! It was part of the party but we overshot the time so yep. Played among ourselves and wrote some words. Hehe it was fun, like back to childhood days. :)

Gifford uncle!

YB!

Jared!

Renoma siollll.

With Tingzi! Haha she look like she gonna go milk cow. :P

COOKIEEEE!

Luceat (L)

Sabai! Which means Happy in Khmer.

Sabai us! :D

ISLE!!

Starrr.

Aye we should do one infinity sign. :/

"Kill Yeowboon! Kill Yeowboon!" Haha inside joke from Cambodia. :)

Hearts.

Went back to the room and had singing session!! Karaoke all the way, for like about 2hrs straight or something. Kind of cool. Then Jared was singing to himself all the way causing his voice to crack at the rate of once every 5 lines or so, while the rest of us played with Cookie! ^^ I LOVE COOKIE SO MUCH HE'S SO CUTEEE! And he love me the most because he kept coming to me. Awww. Sorry lah HJ, after that he came to realisation that Cookie hates him but loves me. :D

Took turns to bathe after that and it was like 3am+ already? Cookie really love me. I was so helpless because I was done with showering already but he still kept coming to me and even jumped up the sofa to be with me. Awww :D But I got to admit he kind of stinks with his saliva.. After everyone bathed, we watched White Chicks!!

After bathing. Hehe cookieeee.

LOL.

Cookie love me so much ah.

He came and sniff my hair when I was done with showering. :/

Geraldine and Xinrui!

WHITE CHICKS IS FRIGGING FUNNY. I laughed a lot and my fav part has got to be the one where Terry Crews was singing A Thousand Miles. DAMN JOKE.

After that, watched She's The Man! :-) I watched that movie before actually, but it was quite long ago and I couldn't remember. But yep, halfway while watching, it stopped loading since the Karaoke room has got no reception. By that time, only me, Xinrui and Jared were still awake so I went over and check the laptop. After me and Xinrui confirmed that we couldn't watch it, I turned back and saw that Jared stole my place over the sofa. I sat beside him at the extension of the sofa beforehand so now I've got no place to go. Xinrui tooo. So we ended up lying on different spots on the floor.

It was 7am plus at that time already. So I was walking around the room, then ended up sitting near the door hoping there's reception, then ended up lying on the floor. Haha so emo man. Managed to fall asleep on the floor and the floor was so frigging hard it hurts so much. :( We were like corpses. Me, Ting, Xinrui and HJ were lying at different spots of the room sleeping on the ground. Pain like mad. After that I found out that Jared moved to the floor so I hurried over to take over his place on the sofa!! SO COMFY, GOT CUSHION SOMEMORE AHHHH. Hahahah. :D Slept all the way, then heard Giff and Ting whispering to one another, followed by HJ's exclamation, "OMG ITS 11AM ALREADY?!" So yah, YB was at his new house already LOL. We were supposed to kind of help him move house?

Jared, YB, HJ, Giff, Geraldine. And Ting and Xinrui who were on the floor beside Geraldine and I was on the floor opposite the both of them. YB's sitting position is ownage.

So the rest of us washed up, then packed up the place. His dad and grandpa drove us to his new house! We totally didn't expect this. Haha. So yep. His new house is much smaller, but maybe its cosier this way too. His room is super nice ah. The pool room too, damn cool. We were like, "Our next hangout place." Haha. Everyone had a place to sit/ lie 'cause there was a lot of sofas and bench! Whoo no need to lie on the floor next time already. :D Slacked around and I got to admit that I hate kids. But YB admit that he dislike his little cousins too so its normal I guess? We were like, "We hate Singaporean kids ugh." Tbh they were being real irritating.

Went down to the first floor to have lunch, had a tour around his house, then went back to his room to slack and we played pool there. Damn cool man! ^^ Played against Jared and Gifford with Ting for the first round and we lost.. Played against YB with Geraldine for the second round and we won! WHOO WE WON! ^^ There was a lot of tycos lah so yep.

Pool! Spotting Ting, Giff and Jared.

Took bus to Nex, then took the train with HJ while everyone went their own ways! Both days were fun. :D

The party reminds me so much of Cambodia and it makes me miss Cambodia so much more. Getting together with all the familiar faces that you interact with every single day for the past month felt really good. Fooling around, making Cambodia jokes reliving those days. Aye. Good times never last. The thing about being nostalgic is that it makes you really helpless because you know that you miss the times so bad, but you can't do anything about it.

Spent the rest of my Thursday and my whole of Friday at home. Not a bad idea to nua at home since the weather is so good these few days. Well, bad for going out tho. Finished watching She's The Man and watched The Notebook, halfway through Dear John. Imo, She's The Man is a bit boring. The Notebook is sweet and I teared while watching it for several times. Pretty good except that the plot is a bit predictable. :P

This maid was sleeping all the while.

With YB's two cousins who are beside him. VERY. IRRITATING.

Merry Christmas Eve everybody!!! :D

Familiar faces in town

2011-12-20T16:32:00.001+08:00

Met up with CCNY girls on Monday. :) Jie is on a cruise and Sam is in China so the both of them didn't join us! Peiwen was kind of underdressed because she rushed over to meet us after doing her Econs project in school. Haha. We took the train over to Somerset and they had lunch at KFC! I didn't really eat because I ate at home beforehand. But anyway, caught up with a lot of things with them and Huili shared her experiences in Phillipines as well! Apparently, Team Vivace lead better lives compared to Team Luceat. :O

Walked around Orchard Road to shop as well. Nothing much, just a day spent on shopping and catching up. Whoo long time since I last met them or something, feels good. :) I bought my X'mas exchange present and Sharon's birthday present as well!

After that, we ate at Ion Food Hall and slacked for very longgg, then decided to leave already. Huili went to meet Sean, Reg meet her dad, Ting meet Eric. Lonely me~ Almost walked over to Somerset with Ting and Eric while waiting for Yuvin's call but luckily she called me before I did that.

Huili, Ting and Wen!

Me with Reg!

So I took the train and meet her, Sharon and Jimmy at Somerset before taking the train to Dhoby. So long since I last saw them!! AWWW! Okay there was a mini delay but luckily we weren't really affected. What's up with the trains these few days? So yep, it was raining kind of heavily so we were kind of badly drenched. It was damn cold too. Only Jimmy brought umbrella so he had to shelter us one by one to The Glass House. It was my first time there anyway!

So yep, the three of us went inside first while Jimmy went to fetch the soccer guys. But actually the soccer guys came in all wet from head to toes and they attracted a lot of attention when they came in 'cause they were so noisy! Aye. Turned out that Jimmy went to fetch Lester instead, who didn't go for the soccer training. So yep, I was so broke already so it was a heartbreaking moment to order food there. I had New York fish and chips! The whitefish Glen & Praveen had was damn nice. Mine was err, oily and you can get kinda sick of it while eating 'cause the fish and fries are so fried and oily.

My new york fish and chips.

Jimmy, Dale, Ryan, Glen and Praveen. HAHA they were like, "eh can see Praveen a not? Need flash?"

Yuvin, Lester and Ryan!

Crazy dudes.

Yuvin!!

The soccer guys plus Jimmy.

Tsk. Crazy people.

1110 yo!

I turned on my flash just to try it out and Praveen was like, "wth she turned on the flash when I'm in the photo." HAHA.

So yah there was a lot of birthday celebrations going on. At least 4 other people celebrated their birthday there. They had a special celebration. The staff will make you stand on a chair holding Sparklers. Then they will shout out some cheer, then everybody will sing the birthday song. Haha kind of sweet but a bit typical when they do the same thing to everyone! So yep Lester bought the birthday cake beforehand already so we were waiting for the right moment..

And after Sharon and Eelin came back from the toilet, the staffs started their birthday celebration!! It was cute. :) Okay after all the singing of birthday song and all, the guys were fooling around and treating the place as their own house. Like pushing the chairs away, standing here and there doing stupid poses. Aye it was kind of embarrassing. HAHA. Then Idk what happened, the whole table was almost overturned and when I turned to look, the table was half overturned and a bunch of them were busy grabbing the table so luckily, the table did not overturn but instead, glasses were broke. LOL EPIC LIKE MAD. I think it was Praveen's fault. Haha. They turned to look and the manager came over and told us it was dangerous and stuffs like that.

Birthday girl! :D

Blowww~

He thought he was the birthday boy.

Ate the birthday cake, slacked for a while more, then settled the bill already. Heart pain. :( "I think the next time we come, photos of our faces will be pasted outside the door saying 'Not invited' or something like that." Totally.

Walked from Dhoby Ghaut to Somerset, went to OC's toilet, then I went off first with Jimmy since it was getting late already. I think the rest of them went to lepak around. But not much difference 'cause most of them stay in the East anyway! So yep, the train was okay lah, not really crowded. Caught up with Jimmy on the train back and they had a good meet up while I was in Cambodia! He told me that they had a sleepover but the sleepover was not typical. They crashed Glen's house, Dale's house (where they played piano for them), ECP for dinner, stayed over at airport and washed up at airport, then ECP to watch sunrise. WAH LIKE A COOL! Crazy bunch of people. :) And we both realised that many of the soccer guys are rich ah, live in private housing aye.

Went back home and stayed at home for the whole day today. I love sleeping in. :) It was a good day to catch up with 2 groups of people whom I have not met up with for a long time. Definitely miss spending time with them. :)

The guys with Sharon!

Without Jimmy :O

With Eelin, Sharon and Yuvin!

THEY ALWAYS TAKE MY CAM TO CAMWHORE HALFWAY.

Sexyy. Haha Dale and Ryan really thought Fish & Co is their house man.

The broken glass. LOL.

Met up with Reg to collect my dress for tmrw, so made up an impromptu decision to kind of shop with Ting and Peiwen at CWP. Haha it was super last minute and we met up in the evening and I was in my NY PE attire, LOL. But anyway, didn't really buy any stuffs 'cause don't have our size and stuffs. The thing is I saw Aaron, RP and Karwuai! Haha SO LONG SINCE I LAST SAW 4D GUYS. Turns out that 4D guys met up to celebrate Chew laoda's birthday. Walked past them and saw Ian, Junwei and Jack too!! Cool! RP slimmed down! Aaron is still the same and KW ah, can only say his hair is cool. 'COOL'. Haha the first thing he said to me was, "I've a question to ask you. Why will you retain ah??" He thought I didn't study but how is that possible! I studied so hard but I screwed it up. So I told him and explained everything and said, "Its ok at least I still get to go to Uni." LOL then he was like, okay fine~ :P

Bumping into so many familiar faces makes my day! Miss the good old times. Initally I really miss Cambodia to an extent that I don't even miss Chung Cheng a single bit but after seeing them, sigh I realise that I still miss Chung Cheng days a lot.

ISLE Christmas party tmrw! :) Can't wait to know who my Secret Santa is. But then again, it clashes with Lester's farewell chalet so I'm not joining the above people to go. :/

Can we stop the world from turning?

2011-12-20T01:07:00.000+08:00

Initial plan was to meet up with the ISLE people and study at National Lib then discuss about our X'mas party, then go to Vivo's Daiso to buy the props that we need. But before that, planned to meet up with my 11 year childhood friend aka Jared to have breakfast at Admiralty before meeting them. So yep. I was his alarm clock as usual, since the O Level days and I swear this is a frigging tough chore. I called him for 20 times, he hanged up on me for 18 times. The remaining 2 times? He didn't even pick up. Seriously, he need to really change his sleeping in habit man. Getting on my nerves! So I asked Ting and YB to spam call him as well but failed.

Just as I was about to leave my house to meet Ting without him, he woke up miraculously. Wow. -.- So yah just waited for him. And yep that was the day where the SMRT line was delayed in the morning as well. It was a long ride because of all the packed buses and all. Initial plan: Take bus to Khatib to meet Ting, then take bus 857 to National Lib. But both me and Jared missed hell lots of buses because all the buses were damn packed. When we reached Khatib to meet Ting, there was barely a 857 in sight! So yes, what we executed: Take bus 965 to Sengkang, train to Serangoon, train to Bras Basah, walk to National Lib. I didn't want to complain 'cause SMRT has been working fine all the while but I got to admit that my morning was really kind of screwed.

Randomly slotting non related photos because I didn't take photos that day and didn't want the post to be filled with only words.

So yep, reached the National Lib 15min before lunch time so we managed to study for like 20min or so. YB's epic story. He ended up in MacRitchie! HAHAHA WTS. He reached earlier than us but before that he was texting me and telling me that he took a bus, forgot to alight, alighted at some random stop and got lost, hopped onto a taxi, taxi driver claimed that there's no Bras Basah MRT, ended up at MacRitchie. LOL EPIC STORY.

Went for lunch after that and met up with Dionis! :) Spent a whole lot of time deciding on the place to eat and finally decided on food court, Pepper Lunch! :) Discussed party details with them and finally settled on the theme! WHOO CAN'T WAIT. ^^ Okay then we walked over to Iluma from Bugis and met Huajie on the way and drank Koi while discussing more details. Then we realised that it was already 3.30pm at that time already and so, we decided to just head over to Vivo so we went back to National Lib to get our bags.

Okay so we took the train over to Vivo, sat outside Sentosa Express and discussed about the logs and details of the party. Shall not be enclosed but what I can say is I'm freaking excited!! xD Walked over to Daiso to get the stuffs that we need and it was so crowded. Reminds us of Cambodia days so we were like, "Be careful! Bags in front!" and acting all touristy. Awww. :) Gifford and Dionis left us halfway so the rest of us went to get stuffs at Giant, then Geraldine had to leave also!

Weirdos on the train.

So the remaining of us which was me, Ting, Jared, YB and HJ went to the food court and the 3 of us watched YB and HJ had their dinner while discussing X'mas and New Year Eve's stuffs. ^^ So excited!! Okay then after much hesitation, went over to Yigloo and had froyo again. I love froyo so much, much more than ice cream. Okay I tried the Natural and the Pomogrenate one, with oreo bits as toppings. The Pomo one was good! :) Ting's raspberry tasted like fruit juice, YB's Banana tasted like rubber, HJ's peanut butter tasted like the real jam. Mine was da best. (Y)

HJ took a bus home from Harbourfront so us, the Red Line people accompanied Boon to take Circle Line all the way to Bishan instead. Yes and its not the other way round. The both of them wear the shades that they bought at Daiso and I swear if I'm some random passerby, I'll be freaked out by them and walk far away from them. Haha. Was bickering all the way with YB for the entire train ride. Aye!

Weirdos.

Food Movie Food

2011-12-19T01:15:00.000+08:00

I rested at home on Sunday if I didn't remember wrongly. And I had Double McSpicy for brunch hell yeah. It was my first time eating Mcspicy ever since I'm back and the feeling was so awesome! I love McSpicy! Best item on Macs menu list. (Y)

That was random. Went to Xinrui's house on Monday to study! :) Her house was damn far anyway, why everybody's houses are scattered around Singapore? :( Met up with Jared and we trained over to meet YB at Serangoon, then meet Giff and Mildred at Tanah Merah! Uhm, we were late because of somebody as usual. Okay the bunch of us met earlier because they wanted to gym and I just tagged along. Haha. Took bus there and her house totally resembles that of a HDB flat man. We were all like, "okay that's damn near the HDB." and "if she lives there I'm gonna bang myself on the wall." or something and yes, the penthouse totally looks like HDB! Can't describe how shocked we were!

So yep, Xinrui fetched us to her house and her house is super nice! ^^ Her house has a lot of the resort feel, love it! Why are all my friends so rich ah, all their houses damn nice. Can even see Changi Airport from her house so there were lots of planes as well. :)

Mildred!

Got sofa too! And that's just their guestroom! :O

Changed, and went to the gym afterwards tho the gym is only restricted to residents. Oh well. I went there to listen to the radio. Haha kind of paiseh 'cause I cycled backwards but aye, was feeling lazy that day. They really worked out tho! And Mildred so man, she train like a guy!! :D DB girl indeed! Then we kind of got chased out after that, whoops! So went to stare at the swimming pool for a while, then realised that Ting and Jean reached the place already. They reached early 'cause their Trug training ended early. Went back up to Xinrui's house to slack around. Used her laptop and tag the Cambodia photos. LOL like tag HJ and Yunwen as the dogs or eggs or roosters or statues. HAHA obviously it was Jared's idea! Then they helped me, Ting and Boon to create Twitter! They pestered us almost everyday since Cambodia days already so yep. Here it is! Speaking of Twitter, I think I bombed mine with convos everyday, especially convos with ISLE people. :P

Ordered KFC as well, 2 family feasts. xD Geraldine, Dionis, Yunwen and Huajie came just in time for the KFC and yep that's our lunch. I have been eating fast food consecutively. BK, KFC, Macs, KFC. GGfied. But anyway, after eating lunch, went to the second floor and look at Xinrui's dogs! Damn cool lo, altho she's small sized but her dogs are really huge! Haha. Had a tour around their house, then went back to the guestroom to chit chat, then started on the work! :)

Mildred, Ting with the hidden Xinrui!

SO COMFY!

Xinrui :D

Them walking to the house!

Xinrui waiting for them at the lift. Haha attempt to scare them failed terribly, that's what they said.

Using laptop on the floor.

Told ya the bed was comfy.

Attempt to scare them kind of failed again! Haha they were creeping in halfway and Xinrui's mum was like O.O

Aww! :) Xinrui and HJ!

Heh Xinrui so talented :)

My space was on the bed. Okay lah, didn't really study much. Halfway through, Idk why but I ended up in the living room and Xinrui was playing songs on the piano for us! She's very zai okay, Grade 8! ^^ My heart always melt when I see people play the piano, be it girls or guys. :) After that, had some cushion fight with Mildred and Huajie, then Xinrui played on the guitar for us! So musically talented aww :') Heartmeltz! Soon it was dinner time!

Took a bus to have dinner at Simei's 18 Chefs with Ting, Dionis, Geraldine, YB and Jared. So long since I ate 18 Chefs because the one at NP closed down. Waited very long before there's seats but at least its nice! Love it cause its DAMN cheesy. Whoo I'm a cheese lover. :) Took the train home after that and it was a long way home.

Dionis, Geraldine, Ting and Jared. LOL.

Slacked at home for the whole of Tuesday. As for Wednesday, FINALLY DID NOT MEET UP WITH ISLE PEOPLE. Haha. Tho I have been seeing them for a week everyday, I've been meeting them since I was back too. And that was the first time I meet people other than ISLE people. :) Watched them had lunch at KFC, then went to buy tickets for The Breaking Dawn at Cine! The movie was boring to me. I checked my phone's time for 20 over times because I couldn't wait for the movie to be over. The only time where the movie is exciting was when the movie was gonna end. So I guess The Breaking Dawn Part II will be better? Caught up while having Shihlin's chicken and Frolicks at 313! :) Short and simple day spent with friends. Hehe it has been long since the 3 of us spent time together.

On Thursday, initial plan was to just have a short lunch with Jared at Admiralty since we live 10min away but we ended up calling YB and Geraldine along as well. And because they have OGL outing at Marina Barrage, our lunch was at TPY. Haha. So I met up with Jared beforehand as usual and AS USUAL, we were both late because of him. HE GOT TO CHANGE HIS LATECOMING HABITS MAN, TOTALLY. Okay so yah, Geraldine was also late because I informed them via BBM beforehand. So poor Yb who left his house on time had to roam around TPY until he got lost. Aye told ya he's Forever Alone already. :P So we found him sitting by himself under a tree alone awww.

Went to eat Sakae buffet. Wts when I'm so poor already. Okay can. We cleared a total of 36 or 37 plates in total I think? So that's like 9 plates per person or something. I ate 3 chawanmushis. Haha I love chawanmushis man. Then we played zongjimima to clear a plate of veggies?! Its veggies hidden inside so yah, I lost 2 rounds wts. So halfway while eating, Jared and YB were having a stomachache so....

HAHAHA DAMN JOKE. WE ARE NOT MEAN OKAY. :P We were laughing like crazy to ourselves so when the both dudes suddenly appear with a loud 'BOO!', we shouted in the restaurant. Frigging embarrassing. So me and Jared successfully psycho-ed the both of them to pon their OGL outing (whoops!). Went to Pop to help my mum get a new POP card, went to KOI which I treated Jared (cause he helped me wash clothes in Cambodia -.-), wanted to go to Bugis but all of us were so full from the buffet that we just wanted to nua. So we took a bus to YB's house as a result!

Photos taken from phone so quality is abit bad!

Initially, was just lying on his bed nua-ing and enjoying life, but decided to watch movie afterwards. Watched The Hangover II! It was kind of sick uhhh, but still funny. :) Not bad! Watched Bad Teacher for a while and Geraldine had to go off early! So the rest of us stayed and watched Bad Teacher, then we decided to leave already. Took bus to Nex and accompanied the 2 guys to have dinner at KFC. Yeh again. Okay so that was the day where the Red Line broke down so both Jared and I were stranded. Yes after the SMRT staffs told YB that Red Line was working as per normal. We travelled like mad k. -.- Jared was damn basket. We were both the only ones walking the ulu route and was chatting and laughing over some random stuff. Then all of a sudden he turned to me and said, "what makes you think I'm Jared?" with a straight face. He can totally go die man. He scared me for over twenty times that day. Zzz.

Boon's mum bought us satays :)

Friday, met up with ISLE people to go pool at Kovan! LOLLL YES AGAIN HAHA. Only me, Ting, Geraldine, YB, Jared and Gifford went tho! Went to have brunch at KFC first (yes KFC AGAIN), then walked over to play pool at Kovan! Played against Gifford first, I lost. Teamed with Ting and played against Geraldine & Jared, we lost. Teamed with Geraldine and played against Ting & Gifford. Obviously we lost. Played against Jared. I lost. Played against Jared. I won!! I FRIGGING WON I EVEN SHOUTED WHEN I WON! Played against him for the third time, I lost. Whateverrr.

Played Bowling afterwards and I really cannot play bowling ah. Haha. I was 4th anyway. Behind all the dudes but first for girls. YB's pose was damn nice. Ex bowler what you expect. ;) He was the champion among us anyway. Jared went home afterwards so the 5 of us went over to Macs and had a short discussion about ISLE X'mas party! ^^

Oh anyway, video of marathon in Cambodia! Heh. HERE!

Random but we ate this at Pizza Hut previous time. Prawn Aglio Olio kind of suck.

And we shared this pizza.

Kthxbai! :)

2011-12-18T21:49:00.001+08:00

I've been blogging so much about Cambodia days that its kind of weird switching back to the normal mode. But then again, I kind of miss blogging about my everyday life and it has been a week since I came back! And yes my week was kind of happening? Actually I wanted to do a post about Cambodia to round up the whole enriching experience. Idk if its me but I feel more comfortable doing so but I'm kind of lazy. So that can wait. Besides I've just finished blogging about the entire Cambodia trip so its better to switch to something else? Idk if its me being annoying but I frigging miss Cambodia.

Okay after we came back, I had a very nice sleep and slept all the way till 12.30pm! AMAZING. It felt really weird to wake up in my own bed with me alone and not waking up to the familiar faces though. Miss those days terribly. So yep, slacked for the whole day chillaxing in front of my desktop (so no life...), then had an impromptu meet up with Jared, Geraldine and YB to have dinner at Northpoint! :) Poor Geraldine, she was early for 15min so she waited super long. Met Jared at Admiralty beforehand and he was late for like 15min so we were late for 30min and YB? He was still at Orchard when I was at Admiralty so uhm, yah. :P Had dinner at Pizza Hut. Laughed a lot with them around, haha. Geraldine had to leave early since she live frigging far away so the remaining of us walked around Northpoint, nothing much. Walked home from Admiralty with Jared after that. Long time since I walked home but I have to say it felt good. I would take the bus usually but it really felt different taking a stroll at night, especially so with the cooling wind.

As for the next day, had ISLE outing at Sentosa! ^^

At ToysRUs with Merlion! :)

Yep Ikr, although we just came back from Cambodia but I've been meeting them everyday still! If you include the preparations day, we have been seeing one another EVERYDAY (really everyday including Sundays) for more than a month. Amazing. ^^

Met with Jared beforehand at Admiralty and surprisingly he wasn't late because both me and Giff were his alarm clocks. So we travelled to Harbourfront to meet the rest of the people! LOL YB ah, Mr Forever Alone seriously. He was always missing. So after meeting up with some people, we went over to Vivo Mart and bought lots of drinks and chips! Hehe cannot blame us ah, no such thing as chips in Cambodia. There is but we weren't really allowed to eat them anyway! Had lunch at BK afterwards! LOL they a bit crazy ah, a bit. The dk-what-game ended up to be chilli and ketchup splashing all over. Well done.

Walking over to the other side of Vivo. Haha kind of lame ah I know. With Geraldine, Mil and Yunwen!

Walking~ At Siloso Beach.

Since when was the water so clear!

There was 10 of us so we headed to Sentosa aftermath! Me, Geraldine, Xinrui, Mildred, Yunwen, Jared, Gifford, YB, Huajie and Jianwen! Not bad! Half of the team turned up tho it was considered an impromptu outing also! :) Whoo GO US! Okay so most of us took out our fake shades which we bought in Cambodia. Hahaha bunch of fake goods, :P Went to Siloso Beach first and the water was damn clear. We kept walking and walking but after that, realised that it became a private beach or something? Since when?! Okay, so we walked over to Palawan Beach.

Found a spot and finally settled down! Didn't bring mat but luckily HJ brought his sarong so we used it as mat! Haha the guys used the sarong if they were to shower in the open, which is the pump water area. Awww.

Ting who came with Macs!

Geraldine and Mildred!

YB, Mil, Jean, Gerry and Jared!

Look at me couple with Geraldine! Red and Black whoo!

Yunwen who was sweet to make us sandwich :)

With the hat that I bought in Cambodia.

We played Volleyball first! It was okay, most of them were kind of zai, but it really hurts so damn much. There was red spots on my arm ever since I played with them over at Cambodia. Then we took a short break after Jean and Ting came to join us! So that makes 12 of us! :D Okay so we split 6-6 and we tried to play Captain Ball. But the Sun was being annoying so the sand was really hot and we were constantly jumping around 'cause we couldn't stand the heat!

Yunwen and Mil! :)

Finally, we ran into the water!! Yay most of us brought extra clothes this time so it was not like the previous time where a lot of people couldn't get into the water! :) I think we were splashing water like crazy initially, so Jared got agitated and he wanted to seek revenge on those girls who splashed him, which were me, Geraldine and Jean. Okay so in the end, all of us ended up in the water, as in really wet from head to toes kind, but he was the only one who wasn't. So the guys succeeded in sabo-ing him down the water after few failures! Hahaha. Soaking in the water was damn shuang. I remember soaking in the water for 4-5hrs when I went to Sentosa with 1D'07. So long ago, when we were still young and immature. Oh well.

We played Murderer in the water afterwards! I really fail to be the Murderer because I really can't lie. It would always be exposed but its okay. Then Idk why they like to accuse me a lot since the days in Cambodia so heck, I'M USED TO IT. :( It was kinda cool playing Murderer in the water! Besides we bought the water gun earlier so we used it to shoot the Murderer or the dead everytime. Haha cool.

Ting ah!!

YB running man. Haha.

HJ looks like crocodile yo~

Revenge time.

For pushing Geraldine,

me,

and Jean into the water. Haha.

HJ's failed attempt.

Dark clouds.

HJ LOOKS LIKE LIZARD ALSO.

With the girls ^^

There you gooo, into the water!

I found a starfish!

My hair spells C-U-I.

Playing Murderer I think?

Can't stand my hair.

Jared, HJ, Jean and Mil!

They were like, 'Bloop Bloop Bloop'! HAHA INSIDE JOKE.

Found a live seashell.

Group photo ^^

LOOK AT MY FREAKING TAN LINE.

Decided to pin up my hair 'cause hair was damn cui.

My forehead so white ah.

I forgot why we cuddled. HAHA.

It rained a couple of times throughout so we ran to seek shelter, but it was passing rain so after like 10min or so, the Sun would come out again! We were lucky. And the Sun wasn't really that strong throughout the day so it was actually okay. :)

Played for kind of longgg, then we went to shower and change already! We planned to wear Cambodia shirts so we were split into 3 groups. The SAME SAME, the Communists, and the Miscellaneous! Aww. I'm among the Communist of course, whoo we rock! xD

COMMUNIST GANG WITH HJ AND MILDRED! WHOO!

Same Same! Aiyah same same lah~~

MISCELLANEOUS HAHA WHOOPS!

Love our hats! Mil extra! xP

The girls :D

Walked over and took the train back to Vivo and met Yuxian there! Aye she's in the SAME SAME gang too, whateverrr. :( Went to eat Yigloo aftermath. Its similar to Soghurt, the price of your froyo is according to its weight so you got to choose the amount of toppings and stuffs. Shared one with Geraldine and we bought the Vanilla and Natural one! Not baddd. The Pomogrenate one was nice tho!

Some of them had to leave afterwards so the rest of us decided to pei dear Mildred, who haven't watch The Apple Of My Eye yet to watch the movie at GV together. Haha she ah, so outdated aye! :P Went to buy KFC and chicken to smuggle in. Yep its my third time watching it so I was a bitttt bored. Don't get me wrong, the movie is great still but I watch it for 3 times already man! So both me and Geraldine were looking out for details like the scene where 柯腾 was half naked, I was whispering to her (she was sitting beside me) saying, "I like his tanned skin, look so smooth." And then she whispered back, "I like his collarbone." And then we would keep giggling. HAHA A BIT PERV I KNOW. Then Jared who sat at the other side of me would look at us with the -_-" face.

Home after that!

Oh I uploaded two videos taken in Cambodia!! WATCH IN HD. :)

First video > Num trying to photoshoot haha.

Second video > Random sunset!! :D

The Same Same gang. Different color somemore! Okay lah I regretted not buying...

BUT DIFFERENT.

Gerry!

Yigloooooo!

Jared and Geraldine!

HAHA.

Polaroid at GV. :)

Made In Cambodia Day 13

2011-12-17T18:01:00.004+08:00

Day 13 which is yes, the last day of the entire trip. Which is also the most dreaded day for me and team mates.

My first few sentences in my diary: Last day in Cambodia. :( I feel so sad, with mixed feelings. I really really don't want to go back to Singapore.

But well, I'm back. Sigh I wish time could rewind back to the times back in Cambodia. If we went to India instead of Cambodia initially, I think we just came back only. India's 21 days! If only we could spend 21 days in Cambodia ugh. Yep what happened to the '21 days is too frigging long'? Haha.

Anyway, woke up, washed up, then I packed my bag first. There was a whole lot of things to pack. As you can see from the photo of our beds in the previous post, everything was in a mess. After that, had breakfast at the guesthouse, then took the bus to some high school. It was the tour guide's previous school as well!

We got a shock when we went to the school because the school was filled with motorbikes and bicycles. Rich man school. And that's their mode of transport. Went into a room and had some conference sort of thing. After that, played with the students. They are about the same age as us! :) We played Bang Bang and Chop Chilli Chop. Yep they studied English there too so they could understand the game, CCC was kind of fail because they couldn't catch the rhythm and there was too many of us but Bang Bang was fun tho!

Split into groups to interact with the Cambodian students and I was in the same group as Xinrui, Geraldine and Joey! Interacted with them and chatted with them. One guy who was in the same group as me came to Singapore before because he was from Scouts. :) They start school from 7am to 12pm and they have no public transport so they travel by motorbikes or bicycles. They ride bikes even if they have no license 'cause the people there don't really care, so even 16 and 17 year olds ride bikes.

We performed dance for them afterwards. :) I hit Jared and Gifford again. HAHA. The guys told us that the guys there kept drooling when we were dancing the Chinese Dance. LOL while we were dancing, a whole lot of them (mostly guys) took out their phones and cameras and snapped photos of us. Haha wts. One of them have Iphone! I WAS SO SHOCKED. Many many of them have FB as well and they added us already. They performed one dance for us and we joined in after that. After dancing, a lot of people asked for my name and FB and a lot of them whom Idk who they are requested to take photos as well. So YB, HJ and Giff were saying that I have fans already. HAHA COOL. They kept saying I was popgalz94 LOL. I received 2 gifts as well! Ahhh Cambodians are so sweet. They are all very warm and fun bunch of people, cheering when we were dancing and stuffs. They blasted Lazy Song and they know who is Jay Chou LOL.

Had a semi tour around the school after that and their school is really well-equipped with cafeterias and stuffs. We felt like stars there cause all the students would look at us like O.O halfway through their lessons. Took group photos with them aftermath and they followed us to the gate again and waved goodbye to us until the bus drove off. Awww. :)

He posted this on my FB wall. Haha. He told me that one of his friend talk about me everyday and that I dance like Shakira?!?! HAHAH.

A bunch of fun people :)

Went back to the guesthouse and packed up after that! I packed up already so I went to Jared's and Giff's room to slack with them and YB.

Took the bus to the day market after that. Didn't have the mood to bargain so didn't bargain much. YB almost quarrelled with the shop owner because she charged Jared and Giff high prices for the painting but oh well. I bought another Communist shirt again! :D Had lunch at a restaurant after that. Last meal.

Last photo at the guesthouse.

The scene which we would look at everyday on the bus because the guesthouse is just inside.

Koped from Jiayan!

Random. Saw this photo haha. Camwhoring.

Look like real polaroid!

Last trip on the bus.

Last photo on the bus. :(

With my buddy for the trip!! HAHA.

Last meal. :(

Took bus to the airport aftermath. It was very sad to part with the tour guide and the driver. They are very friendly dudes. AH I MISS THEM SO MUCH NOW. Feel very bad towards the tour guide because we would ALWAYS be sleeping on the bus while he was talking about Cambodia to us. Tho I was very tired on the bus ride to the airport, I didn't sleep because it was our last time on the bus with the tour guide. The driver was also very nice and supporting! While we were doing the marathon, we spotted him standing at one side supporting us. :') AH SHIT I feel so emotional now. I almost teared at the airport because the two of them were standing side by side waving to us, and its damn sad because we can no longer see each other again. Shit this I hate departures. :(

Took some photos at the airport 'cause need to wait for quite long. We saw the CJ people but its a different group of people lah. So we sang the Star Awards tune again because some of them purposely walked all the way to our side to confirm our identities? :/ Checked in, then I forgot to pack my deodorant, sunblock and moisturizer into my bagpack so it was all confiscated. Ugh damn it.

The bus driver and the tour guide!

The girls. :) AW I MISS THEM.

The guys with them. ;')

Geraldine and Jared!

With Num! Loving my hat. :)

Ting and Jean!

My eyes look big here hehe.

Giff, Ting, Xinrui, Mr Victor, Gerry and Jared!

With the 3 teachers :)

Preparing for jumpshot. Haha. WITH MY HAT IN THE CENTRE. OH YEH.

Still had like 1 hr more so we went to eat at The Blue Pumpkin again! YB and Jared shared Banana Split, Jean and Giff shared 2 servings of ice cream. Both servings are alcoholic but it tastes damn good. And me? 2 scoops of ice cream. Haha Ting was worse lo, she didn't have any money so I treated her! Had Vanilla and Baileys. Bailey is alcoholic anyway, it was good. Koped the banana split too. Hoho nice nice.

Slacked a while, then took some photos and videos. Haha I got a lot of videos to upload anyway. Should I?? Boarded the train after that. It was pretty good, not much delay or anything. Sat with the same people! :D Transit at Phnom Penh and Mildred was fuming red. And the pilot was good this time! No sudden bump or anything so we didn't have to scream. LOL :P Had sandwich and cup noodles on the plane again.

Giff's and Jean's. Damn nice.

Greeeeeeedy!

LOL WTS.

Secret agents haha.

Their super nice banana split.

Why focus on the split.

With Jared!

So comfy right!

Awwwww.

Our pathetic ice cream aye.

Haha enjoying life!

Sitting likeaboss.

Gangstas.

Gu niangs ;-)

YB camwhore siol! B)

HAHAHA.

Whoops.

Jean told me that she wrote this in the diary. Something like this. "I'm in the plane back to S'pore now sitting with Chien and Yunwen and 3 crazies behind! How I wish this is the plane to Cambodia and not back to Singapore." PRECISELY. I couldn't believe that we were back in Singapore already because I was so used to Cambodia's lifestyle. Back to Singapore means having all the stress back with all the shit to do which really sucks. The past 13 days was one of the best thing that could happen to me and its something I'd remember for life. I'm glad that I have this experience because not everyone can have a chance to.

Landed in Singapore safely, back to all the familiar things. Haha when we were in the plane and could see S'pore so bright with all the lights and all, we were like, "No this is so unfamiliar. Why is it so bright. I MISS CAMBODIA ALREADY."

Walking to plane!

Haha we ran and shouted to get this shot.

And up we go!

ON THE PLANE YO.

My flight mates ^^

Beautiful sunset. But stupid wing.

Was asking the three crazies behind me to help me take photos of the sunset then suddenly they were like, "WAH THIS ONE DAMN NICE!!" so they zoomed in and showed me. "got sky got mountain got sea! Nice right!" THEN I REALISED ITS THIS PICTURE ON A MAGAZINE WTS.

Writing diary while listening to Jared's phone's songs.

I LOOK FAT HERE.

HAHA TING.

The first thing that we did was to go to Starbucks and settled our cravings! :D But unfortunately for me, I had a sore throat when we were on the plane. It just came suddenly so I only koped Jared's and Shawn's Starbucks and didn't buy any for myself. Besides, I've no $$ anyway. With all the luggages and stuffs, its kind of impossible to sit inside Starbucks so being the typical Singapore teenagers who just got down from Cambodia and not giving a damn to anything, we just chose a random spot and sat down. HAHA like a boss yo. It was getting late so we wanted to leave and we wanted a group photo first. So YB asked a random passerby and he got dao-ed completely! LOL EPIC WE LAUGHED LIKE MAD. THIS, Singaporeans. *shakes head. So different from the warm and friendly Cambodians aye!

Our parents didn't come to fetch so I shared a cab with Jared back home since we live 10mins away from each other! So not used to being at home but well, I'm at home now. Was suffering from severe post Cambodia syndrome that we hated Singapore LOLOL. I miss Cambodia so much! And yes, this were the 13 days. :)

Its Starbucks baby!

Back to Singapore. :)
