wonderful day at Nex

Had a day out with Deary yesterday... Met him at SK to go swim together, the pool was crowded even at 12 noon! cos its a sheltered pool, so wun be affected by the sun... i swam for 10laps while he swam 2o, before we went to try out the slide.. haha tried once just for the fun before going to bath... afterwhich we proceed to Nex at Serangoon... it was really crowded!!! we tried out the set lunch at Hot Tomatoes, quite value for money, with nice aglio olio pasta.. then we shopped around, everywhere is as crowded... den we sat down for cheesecake at starbucks, do abit of reading, abit of chatting... den at 5, queued up for the free drinks that starbucks is giving out, cos they have a collaboration with Salvation army, to give out free tall drink for any amount donated... so we tried the festive drinks, the peppermint mocha and the toffee nut, yummy!

after the drinks, shopped around, and i got a dress from cotton on =D then we searched for food to eat for dinner, and decided to try out the new ramen restaurant by Breadtalk co.... not too bad, but i still prefer the ramen by ajisen... met Nic and Sherwin also, shall meet up with them soon, missed Sherwin's nonsense lol...

exams in 4 days, but am still goin for cousin's bbq tmr haha.. and although there's still a paper on the 15th, my next week is alr full of events! tennis on tue, cycling at ubin on thur, badminton/gym on fri, universal studio on sat, voluntary work on sun... hahah! i just need more time to do things that are fulfilling!!!

Last day of sch....

Shall blog on this last day of school....

Went to SITEX with wy yesterday after sch, planning to get Canon Camera... it was thurs afternoon, first day of the IT fair, but it was so crowded! the huge EXPO carpark was full!! even the ulu carpark at the other end of the halls when usually it very empty, is almost full and has to queue for like 5-10 mins before getting in! can see that Singaporeans are really free, and rich lol... so after getting a parking lot, we walked to the fair... it wasn't as crowded as expected (luckily), it was just flooded with those sales person (teenagers mostly) handing out flyers... visited the various famous camera brands such as Casio, Nikon, Canon, Sony, then as I was contemplating to get the Canon Ixus 130, walked past Audio house that's shouting about the hourly promo... the camera is only $269, with a dual screen... so after trying out, decided to get it, with lots of free gifts... loved the new camera~just that it'll leave alot of fingerprints, cos its those glossy type lol...

lunch with nie gals today at JP New york new york, to celebrate Alison and Aisuan's birthdays in advance.... hope they liked their presents... above is one of the watches i got for aisuan... liked this photo very much...

went off to Orchard to meet Deary, and we watched Unstoppable... It was an exciting movie! after movie, we went to Tung Lok Seafood at Orchard Central for dinner... yummy crabbie!!!! slurps...

yummy black pepper crab..

coffee ribs, nice and strong coffee =)

vege with 3 types of eggs..

and my favourite bamboo clam with garlic!

Nothing much to update for the past 2 weeks, much time was spent engaging in sports, and doing school work... one thing worth mentioning is our class outing to Chinese Garden on 11th Nov, to celebrate Shi Ting and Eunice's birthday! We had great fun... Ordered pizza, had frens who baked Green tea cake and nutella cup cakes.. I made some potato salad as well, and Xiaowei also made a different version of potato salad, both received good feedback... it was kind of a picnic session, with filming going on, and we also had games... while the others are busy filming, a few of us sat on the groundsheets, chatting and gossiping... it was a great get together session... wonder if this will happen again after we graduate...

had badminton, tennis, joggings over the past week, really enjoying this kind of life.. but seems like its not easy to maintain such a lifestyle... last sun went in to JB with family for brunch, and shopped at the Giant and Guardian there, then after coming back, slept in the afternoon before going for a jog in the evening to Hougang... I still do not have the determination to jog all the way to AMK... shall find a motivation for me to do so! wait till i conquered the 10km run for hope this sun, then maybe i'll have the confidence to run the 11km to AMK...

only 3.5 weeks of holidays in Dec, and 1 week will be spent in China.. i have many things that i want to do.. wanna go for a short trip to M'sia with the gals, wanna go Cable ski again... wanna have Christmas gatherings and gift exchange with diff groups of frens and cousins... but dun have the time!

First cable ski experience

Had my first ever cable ski experience at Batam yesterday, together with Deary, Gui Hao, Daren, Angeline, Justin, Jian Sheng and Jun Hong... we started off with knee board skiing, and my first attempt din travel far cos i just lose grip of the handle hahh.. after that is ok, managed to go for nearly 1 round.... tried for a few more times, before feeling the strain in my arms so we took a rest.... it was a wonderful experience!

tried doing the wake boarding, which is the one standing on the board... thats really difficult! only managed to balance properly during one of the attempts and travel around 5 metres.. i think thats the best achievement alr hahah! amongst all of us, only Justin managed to balance and travel quite a distance...

woke up this morning, and feel both of my hands aching! it was tiring, but really really fun and enjoyable... shall definitely go there again!

Cable ski on Sat!! so looking forward to it! though i think its going to be quite difficult haha but i'm sure its going to be a great experience =) still haven got a chance to run for 10km... but have signed up for Run for Hope in end nov.. so hopefully i'll get a chance to run 10km before the actual run.. perhaps can take the park connector from punggol park to amk... motivation will be Koi bubble tea? lol..

anyway, went for lunch with nie gals at Pepperoni Pizzeria yesterday to celebrate Joyce's bday... nice pizza! the 21in pizza is really huge! enjoyed ourselves and had a filling lunch, at only $11 each haha.. went to tamp with wy after that, wanted to go Mitju to look at the pair of heels i saw at vivo the other day... but its not selling at the tamp 1 outlet.. so sad... bought a pair of slippers though...

looking forward to dinner tonight at a special place.. deary din know where are we going yet haha... hopefully it'll be a nice experience =)

人生不如意之事，十常八九。近日来，觉得家里发生许多不愉快的事件。先是四姨的胰脏长了瘤需要动手术切除，然后得知住在马来西亚的姨婆过世了，享年99岁。虽然只和姨婆见过一两次面，但还是不免有些难过。妈妈与姨妈、舅舅们今早回马来西亚的家乡吊丧，恰巧今天爸爸又生病了；上星期也得知哥哥和女朋友分手，我似乎也出现了一些药物敏感的症状，感觉上就是坏事连连。希望一切会尽快过去。星期天是哥哥的生日，希望有我们陪伴，他也能度过个愉快的生日！

雨后的晴天会更加美丽。还是那句话——生命是一个过程，让我们学习并累积经验！

世事的无奈，并不是常人能解决的，只能虚心接受。很感动，因为身边有着关心我的朋友；很开心，因为时间并没有冲但彼此之间的情谊。然而，总觉得万般无奈。因为无论我如何努力、如何保持乐观态度、如何坚持不懈地相信一切会变得更好，似乎没有多大的作用。

Just caught this movie earlier on at PS, was a nice movie... some what better than what I expect, cos my sis told me its not very nice, and i tot it'll be some boring show like 十面埋伏.. anyway, i think the plot is good, and andy lau is still as good...

not too bad, i've been keeping up with my exercising regime for the past week, hopefully i can continue to exercise often =)

Congrats to my bro for getting a job! His first day today, hopefully everything went on well for him....

不公平的世界……

“这世界是不公平的，没有人可以要求世界公平。或许，唯一公平的，就是所有人都必须面对世上的不公平。”

中四的时候，第一次接触到这个句子。那时候，觉得这句话说得很好，很真实，很贴切。6年后的今天，我也同样认为这句话非常符合人生。确实，世界是不公平的。完全地不公平。有人曾经对我说，我比世上很多人都来得幸福。确实，所有人都是如此。比上不足，比下有余，不就是这么来的吗？

想一想，也正是因为这些不公平，才让我体会到自己其实在某些方面是幸福的，是比他人好的。无论世界再怎么不公平，只要我们问心无愧，做该做的、值得做的、必须做的，那么又何须去理会这种种的不公平？因此我认为“打抱不平”是很不实际的，因为每一天，每一小时，每一分钟，每一秒钟，都发生着不公平的事件。如果真要“打抱不平”，岂不是的分身乏术？

积极看待人生，人生才会更美好！坚信阴天过后的晴天会是最美丽的！经历过了阴霾，下一次的阴天也就不再可怕了！我能够战胜一切的！

38th Month-sary

It was our 38th Month-sary on the Pink ribbon run day... after the run, deary had it planned that we go for chocolate fondue at Suntec... and after that was another surprise from him... Yup he booked a room at Marina Bay Sands! it was a great surprise i din really expected it! the room was nice, on the 37th floor, with a nice view of singapore's skyline and the esplanade and merlion park...

not to mention the great view from the sky park! it was awesome, i really enjoyed myself, despite the tiredness... must be the exposure to the sun... well all in all, thanks Deary for the wonderful surprise and celebration, love every bit of the time we spent together =D hope you like the wallet too =)

5km pink ribbon run

Just completed 5km pink ribbon run.. A min slower than my expected timing, but still ok :-) this event marks the first anniversary of deary and i joining all these charity runs.. In this one year, we participated in 6 runs:
5km pink ribbon charity walk (oct 2009)
6km run for water (apr 2010)
8km Urun (may 2010)
7.5km Run for Cancer (jul 2010)
6km Yellow Ribbon Prison run (sept 2010)
5km Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Run (oct 2010)

So far the maximum distance ran is 8km.. Will be trying out 10km for the nike human race on 24th of this month.. If the run is ok, will proceed to sign up for the Run For Hope event in nov, to support the cancer patients..

Yup so this is what i meant by the change i'm going to undertake. Shall embark on more of these healthy and meaningful activities. Will be helping others as well as challenging myself :-)

This is going to be a great weekend! To all my frens out there who're reading, hope you'll also have a great weekend, and enjoy :-)

诱惑

食物、金钱、美色、名利、潮流等等的追求，往往都是为了满足一时的快感。
人，却总是那么无法抗拒这些诱惑。然而，只要停下脚步，仔细地想想，就不难发现，如此盲目地被这一时的快感牵着鼻子走，是那么地愚蠢，那么地不理智……
曾几何时，我也成了这样一个人。是社会的责任？还是人类的毅力不够，无法坚持己见。
不过，我所受到的诱惑是朝健康方面的。突然有股冲动，想做些事情改变这一切…

Mum's birthday just passed, and we had a dinner at Teochew restaurant in Bedok.. Food was nice! and Mid-autumn just passed also... had fun eating mooncakes, playing candles and lanterns with family+deary+bro's frens+ryan&russell.. sch life pretty boring.. haha cos i still in holiday mood, as in nothing much to do yet, so still quite relax...

Went JB the other day, and watched Wall Street.. had wanted to watch Piranha 3D, but only left with 9+pm de showtime.. so too bad, have to wait for SG to screen....

Wall Street was pretty nice, a little confusing at first, cos i'm not someone who's very familiar with all the financial stuff and stocks thingy... but as the show goes, i find it very meaningful... i like one of the quote in the movie: "Good day I'm OK, bad day I'm also OK, so please don't ask stupid questions."

I guess "are you OK" has been too commonly u

sed, that most ppl will just answer "I'm OK" even if they're actually not... I'm such a person too... and i admit sometimes i also like to ask this question hahah.. ok i shall try not to ask such a stupid question again.....

hmmm.. what else to blog? yup went for a drinking session with GH, Angel and Darren(GH's fren) last sat... it was supposed to be a mid-autumn festival celebration with the gals, but XR got project meeting so we decide to cancel it and go GH's house... hahah and since Angel suggested going to this place called Overeasy at One Fullerton, we just go haha... well the 3 of us drank quite abit that night.... one bottle of white wine first, and they find it not satisfying enough, so we ordered another bottle of red wine... less than half way thru the red wine, i tink gh alr got tipsy... in the end angel and i finished most of it...

and after that we still got a complimentary bottle of champagne! wow i tink Angel also got drunk in the end... lucky i'm still sober hahha but if i continue drinking, i might get drunk also =p but i will control hhahah..

Went out to orchard today to collect the pink ribbon run race pack... as well as to catch the above movie.... was nice! Zhen zi dan is really very fit lol! then went hougang for dinner, and slowly walk home...

some updates of my life...

long time since last update... hmm after the malacca road trip, went for Changi Seaview chalet with family... last time my bro can get the SAF chalet, since he'd officially ORD alr... 4d3n there, had BBQ on the 1st night... 2nd day went Pulau Ubin with bro, sis and my deary.. had a great time cycling there, but quite tiring... went to walk at chek jawa also, but its high tide, so cant see much... after Ubin trip, went back for steamboat dinner... yummy! played Wii late into the night.. Raving rabbit 2 really tiring... sweat alot, and our arms are aching the next morn we wake up! din do much on thu, except to play Wii, and then a jog around changi in the evening before getting the famous nasi lemak from changi v hawker... its back home on fri, and replenish the lost sleep...

went for Yellow Ribbon Prison Run on Sun, only joined the fun run, so only 6km... its raining that morn, so at first i thought the run will be cancelled.. but once i reached the starting place, those running the 10km route alr started! many ppl are running despite the rain! therefore we do our warm-up, and also start the run.. my first time running in the rain... quite a nice experience, except that it slows down the speed cos of the slippery floors... yup in the end i took 47.20mins for the 6km... well its faster than the previous 6km run i took part in apr, but i think it can still be improved... went to expo for carrefour warehouse sale, but i din get anything... den we went tamp for lunch, and some shopping before heading home...

sch starts on mon, and although i hav no lessons, went to crash other lectures, so that i can decide whether or not to change my modules... yup after attending the classical chinese drama lecture, i think i'd change to this module.. shall give classical chinese fiction a miss, and attempt something new.. drama should be more interesting.. but it also means more things to learn, since its something that i never really study before.. first day of sch, went out for lunch with wanying at tamp.. at a nice vege restaurant for pasta...

watched Grown Ups on tue after lessons... a nice show which teaches us the values of family life.. i think sometimes being childish is nice hahha..

after yan lao shi's lesson, i admired him even more! he's really so knowledgeable! he doesnt need any books/slides and he can just remember everything from history to geog to religion to literally anything under the sun! this is one of the reasons i chose his lesson over the supposed-to-be-more-useful ICT lesson...

Jogged to Punggol park on wed since i got no lessons... after so many years of staying in Punggol, this is the first time I visited Punggol Park(though its in Hougang, not Punggol)... nice place to jog, shall go there more often =)

Since its still the 1st week of lessons, and we still have nothing much to do, Deary and I decided to go to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve... we first climbed up to the summit, which took us less than 1/2 an hour... after which, we started our walk to Macritchie Reservoir Park... its a long journey of 10.9km... plus the parts that we sort of lost our way, I think we walked a total of 12km before reaching our destination, with a duration of 3.5 hours... nice workout hahah, but we enjoyed scenic views along the way, with monkeys popping out of nowhere along the way... but sad to say, when we reached Macritchie, the tree top walk has closed =( therefore i think we need to find another day to visit it...

Post-prac meeting on Hari Raya holiday.. early in the morning at 9am... quite a relaxed session, we just shared our thoughts on our practicum... my supervisior will be retiring this year, which means that i'll be getting a new sup for my TP2... so sad, cos this supervisor is very nice! hope i'll get another supervisor just as nice =p went out to meet gh and frens for minds cafe at night at boat quay, and we played from 9pm to 1+am.. it was fun, esp the bone-snatching game... had wanted to go for reverse bungee, but was too full after dinner lol..

had a relaxing weekend.. went compass point to get some stuff for white treasure, as well as to look for bday presents... shall be going for a jog later, wanna train for nike human race haha never tried 10km before... still contemplating if i should get the nike+ sports band.. cos i heard that it doesn't work well unless with a pair of nike+ sports shoes...

going to be an eventful week ahead, might be going for overnight cruise with mum and bro, and meeting up with jc frens, and sis's company family day, might be going to jb also hahah..

Wonderful Weekend!

It has been a wonderful weekend!

It started with my brother's convocation on Fri.. Went to SIM early in the morn... His convo session starts at 10am, but we reached there around 8.30, cos if we go too late then there'll be no parking lots... while having breakfast, my cousin and her family came.. yup she's taking the same course as my bro hence they're graduating together... after which, they went into the auditorium, and then i stayed outside and wait for Deary, then we chatted until 11+... had the sumptuous buffet lunch provided, and took lots of photos...

after the photo-taking session, we set off to Malacca! This is the first time we're driving in to Malacca... we usually only went to JB... yup so we made our way thru Causeway, then into North South Highway, and exit correctly to Malacca! we did not lose the way lol... cos got GPS as well as maps that we printed out... but traffic was rather heavy in Malacca.... so we only reached our hotel around 6pm... We booked Hotel Equatorial, it is a really great hotel!!! we actually booked an extra bed, but after viewing the room, we cancelled the extra bed, cos the day bed is enough for me and my sis.. haha so 5 of us stayed in 1 room... after settling down and washed up, we went out, and walked slowly to Jonker Street, passing by the ship statue as well as the famous red church... was really crowded at Jonker street! we bought those snacks as we walked down the street, and we were quite full by the end of the street.. and we still had dinner reservation made at one of the teochew restaurant as recommended by my bro's fren.. so we walked slowly and make our way to the restaurant, and had our dinner.. it was really nice, the fish is really fresh! and the yam paste is great too!! after dinner, we walked to the Muslim street, and walked awhile before heading back to hotel... it was a great day =)

early sat morn, went for a swim with my mum... there's no one at the pool, so we can swim in anyway we want haha... after the swim, mum and dad went for breakfast, while my sis and i went for jacuzzi... after around half an hour of jacuzzi, we went back to bath before heading out for brunch and some shopping... so, toge with my bro and sis, we went to the shopping centre right beside our hotel, and ate A&W! yeah the curly fries and root beer float!!! yummy! then we shopped around, bought some clothes etc... then its back to the hotel to check out.. after checking out, we drove to Jonker street, to look at the afternn shops.. we had late lunch at the famous chicken rice ball shop.. its very crowded, but as review stated, SG chicken rice tastes much better hahha.. but it was a nice experience... after eating, we walked around a while before setting off and head back home... along the way, we decided to go to JB to have seafood dinner.. so we went to Taman garden to eat chilli crab before home...

it was a short trip, but it was nothing but fun! it feels really great to be able to travel with family =) really enjoyed ourselves, and certainly looking forward to the next road trip!

A day in JB

Went to JB with Deary yesterday... We had K-lunch over there from 10-1.30.... food was ok, but was nice to sing haha... after that, we went to catch the movie Salt.

It was a nice movie, one who loves action-packed movies will sure love it. The unexpected twists in the story is great too! But the ending seems to tell us to wait for Salt 2... anyway, it was so cheap to watch movie in JB, 2 tix cost only RM13! and we got the couple seats haha so really worth it... after movie, we walked around awhile, but din buy anything, cos i always go hahah..

We went to have our dinner at Nandos, a change from our usual Kim Gary lol.. the food was ok, well its famous for grilled chicken, and I thought the chicken tastes no different from the roast chicken that my parents always buy for prayers lol... Just that they have the special chilli sauce, but even the extra hot doesn't taste very hot to me lol.. but it was still a filling dinner, I can't even finish the sides.. I think I never even finish half of the portion of the side dishes lol...

All in all, it was an enjoyable day out...

Enjoying life during the holidays.. went for a 3 days 2 nights trip to Batam with Deary from 15-17th Aug... It was my anniversary present for him, haha so we stayed in a suite room (my first time staying in one), was really luxurious haha! did nothing much there, except to swim, walk around the resort, exploring the location of the villas... and we played scrabble many times, haven't played the game for a long long time.... overall, it was a relaxing trip =)

went to JB with mum and bro on wed, after accompanying my mum to her med appt... we ate at the Season's cafe at City square, its like Swensen's.. and they also had 1-for-1 lunch promotion over there.. So we had 2 main courses, namely fish and chips, and black pepper seafood pasta, for only RM20! thats like, around SGD8? hahah other than eating, we din do much there, since we always go...

had wanted to go and try the Jap dessert buffet at Bugis with Deary on Thurs, but on that morn just had no mood to eat buffet haha.. so after going to Megatax IT fair at Expo, we proceed to Peninsular S.C. to collect deary's free Manchester United jersey... then we walked around city hall area, and got an oldies CD compilation as his dad's bday present... we then walked to Bugis Iluma, in search for the new KOI bubble tea~ the queue was really long. haha but we still queued... first time trying the chocolate milk tea, its very sweet, but has a rich choco taste =)

meet up with wanying on fri, or rather, i visited her at her house.. then drove her to CGH for appt, and then drove her to my house for durian ahha.. fun day driving around...

Practicum ended last fri, with National day celebration... enjoyed myself singing those national days songs, doing the dance of the songs... after the 5 weeks, learnt alot... am now enjoying the 1-month long holiday before sch starts, thanks to YOG, else i would have already started sch... it seems like a grand event for SG, feeling abit regretful that I didn't sign up as a volunteer back then =(

anyway, have nothing much to blog about, just want to enjoy every moment of my life! looking forward to China trip to 九寨沟with my family on Christmas eve... will be very cold there, and it'll be snowing! will be my first time seeing snow, really excited hahha..

享受人生，享受一切，凡是自由解决的方法。

不要为没有必要的烦恼而烦恼--somebody told me this 6 years ago =)

Its finally Friday!! and next week will be the last week of Practicum!!!

Lesson observation by supervisor was completed, though not fantastic, but was ok.. most importantly, its over!!! hahah at least i'm proud to say that i improved on the parts that my CT said wasn't very good during my first observation... well, of cos there are still rooms for improvement, i also tried my best... i didnt do any group work during observation, cos i just wan to be on the safe side.. hahah cos group work sure will be chaotic and i dun wan to risk on the classroom management section... will try out group work during the next CT observation which is nx tue... everything done alr, worksheets and resources prepared, only need to polish up on some parts of the lesson plan... okies the last week is goin to pass by fast and smooth! only 4 working days, since fri is national day celebration....

since i started prac, haven got a chance to watch a movie.. so today, went to catch Despicable Me with Deary at Marina square... planned to watch it for quite long le, but always cant find time, cos we were both very tired and busy hahah, and the last time we met was like 2 weeks ago lol... and yes deary, of cos i miss you too hahha.. anyway, the movie is nice! the yellow little things were very cute! quite funny at some parts too... then we shopped around and got some clothes, everywhere is having sale! G2000 alr has sale, plus UOB cardholders another 20% off, so we got some clothes for teaching... then we had dinner at Esplanade Ichiban Boshi... we were lucky enough to get a seat near the window, so got to view the fireworks... =D after dinner we went up to roofgarden, and it was so crowded! it was the 1st time i saw the roof garden so crowded, haha cos everyone wants to see the spectacular fireworks i supposed... yeah we managed to catch some more of the fireworks before heading back home...

Teaching in Greendale!

4 days in Greendale pri... a nice CT i have =) just that next fri is the school's Official Opening, hence alot of rehearsals and stuff going on... and of cos, us trainees are being 'appointed' to help out as well... okies so got to stay back till at least 8+ for a few days, cos the event is nearing... not to mention all the lesson plans that i got to do, and the ppt and worksheets to prepare... i can survive! although the p3 class i'm taking is quite rowdy, but i believe everything will be ok since my CT will be sitting at the back of the class... but there'll be 2 days when she'll be away! hopefully it'll be ok...

All the best to everyone teaching!! we can get thru it ^_^

出乎意料！

世界杯八强决赛的第一场：荷兰对垒巴西，所有人都看好巴西。我仍然坚持支持我喜爱的荷兰。虽然荷兰胜出了，成功晋级至半决赛，而我也赢了点钱，但我却不怎么开心。
也许是因为爸爸和哥哥都输了钱（他们投注巴西），所以我也不怎么高兴。
也许是因为今天发生的事，让我开心不起来。虽然我一直尽量保持乐观的心情，努力维持健康的生活，但为什么结果总是和我想要的不同？
有时候真的觉得很累…外在的东西都不欠缺，内心的快乐也能从家人、情人、朋友的身上得到，可是却少了最重要的那一部分……

last week of holiday

time really flies, its the last week of my holiday alr, before proceeding to teaching practice starting next tue. Posted to greendale pri, am quite lucky since its only less than 10mins walk from my house. Went for their meeting last week, seems like the principal's expectations quite high haha.
Going for ramen later! Yeah:-)

Back from Ho Chi Minh City

Back from a 4 days 3 nights trip to Ho Chi Minh City! It was more of a historical trip, as we mainly visited musuems, took photos with ancient buildings, and visiting the Cu Chi tunnel that's 'built' during the Vietnam war... It was an enriching trip, learnt more about Vietnam history, and experienced how cramp the Cu chi tunnel is! haha the 2nd day was most tiring, as we visited the war remnants museum and the Reunification palace, as well as the post office and the cathedral for photo taking... at night we walked down backpacker's street and we practically walked the whole day on day 2 hahah...

Met up with wy and group on day 3, to visit cu chi tunnel... it was very fun!! and most of us perspired alot until our shirts are wet! haha esp after crawling thru the tunnels... apart from cu chi tunnel, we din do much for the day, cos at night after dinner, we went Saigon riverside, but the view was disappointing.. the river was dirty.... and also cos its drizzling, we walked back to hotel soon after...

back at the hotel, spent time using the jacuzzi bathtub, feels really good hahha..

this morn after breakfast we proceed to airport, and then after getting our boarding passes we went to CT plaza opp the airport for last min shopping, and we bought instant noodles at the supermarket, cos both of us never realy buy anything during the trip...

Home sweet home!! reached home ard 5pm, had abit of bee hoon that my mum cooked, before catching a nap... woke up at 7.30 to watch Holland vs Japan... yeah my Holland won!!! so happy.. though Van Der Sar is no longer in the team, I'll still support the team!!! Though i dun think they'll be the champions, but I hope that they can at least make it to the semi-finals!

uploading the hcm photos now.. quite alot, mayb will upload part of it first... too tired alr hahha i wanna sleep!!

端午节快乐！

今天是端午节，对许多人来说，这没什么特别。顶多是吃几粒粽子罢了。确实，今时今日，还有多少人会记得端午节背后的含义？

前几天都在忙着包粽子，好多年没包了，刚开始包时，粽子很小，类似人家的红豆粽。慢慢地，就有进步了，最后的成果还算不错。当然也有包我前两年都有包的碱水粽（ki zhang）。 很快就有准备出门，启程到越南——胡志明市了！好兴奋！

Hope that 4days 3 nights is enough to cover most places in HCM, might be giving Mekong Delta a miss, since most ppl say its not worth going, perhaps will visit the river during our next trip to Cambodia...

okies, since i'll be away, i shall wish Guihao a Happy 22nd Birthday in advance! Hope you'll have great fun on this special day with your special someone =)

Great Krabi Trip!

Just got back from a 4d3n trip to Krabi with deary, zan and sis.. it was a great trip! nice snorkelling experience! managed to see alot of corals, and even clown fish! saw sea urchin also... the corals are really nice, the best of phi phi island.. the first snorkelling trip to the chicken island, poda island and tub island was disappointing cos wave was very big and cant go to a few islands... nth much to see at chicken island and poda island also...

ate alot during the trip, enjoyed eating at the roadside stalls haha thats why i enjoy going free and easy trips, with ppl who likes to eat at roadside also, else wun have the chance to try hahah.. had great fun playing Pictureka with them at night also... and also trying out the different cocktails that's forever selling at 100baht, though they specify its only on sale during happy hours.. but seems that even way past the happy hours, we still get to enjoy the offer.. guessed they really need more customers cos too many places to drink le..

today went compass with mum, shopped around, bought some food for white treasure... went tuition, den go for a jog with bro... need to work out after eating so much during the trip lol..

meetign up with the gals on sat! haha long time no meet up with so many of them.. hope we'll have an enjoyable dinner toge =) wan to discuss bout cable ski and sunway lagoon trip with them!

Results!

Results are out! CGPA dropped by 0.05, hah but still quite ok, considering that i got B- for the 5AU teaching of chi CS as well as for song ci... happy that i got 1 A and 1 A- =)

had wanted to go JB today with the gals, but too bad, got to go collect the LCD TV brackets today, cos flying off on Sun alr then today last day of collection... hhaha nvm can go again other time... yup so tis morn went to have a game of badminton with deary before goin chinatown for lunch and collecting the brackets.. then we had Koi bubble tea! slurps!

looking forward to krabi trip! but will be sending wy off to viet tmr! hope their team will have fun over there as well as enriching ppl over there!

Holidays

It really feels good to be having holidays!!! shall enjoy this last 2nd holiday of my life as a student... after graduation, will be busy alr... looking forward to krabi trip with deary, zan & sis, 6-9jun, and ho chi minh trip from 16-19jun, going with deary, and meeting wy and her eco-venture grp over there...

shall sleep more and rest more these few days, then can hav fun in krabi!! haha

Great Hatyai trip!

Just came back from a 6d5n trip to Hatyai, Thailand.. Planned to go Bangkok, but due to the riots of the red shirts, we changed our destination to Hatyai.. now it seems very obvious that no one will go bkk during that period of time, but just a week ago when i was making the decision, i was feeling helpless and lost, its the first time i felt so, and the first time that i really thought of giving up, cos i thought i was walking alone all the while and did not see any support from him.....

did not have time to think so much, cos we changed the trip to the next day, and so we just go ahead.. so actually the 1st day of the trip was quite bad... as in i did not really enjoy myself.. a few reasons for that... 1st is becos i still felt very disappointed, and 2ndly is i cant really get used to their style of living and such... no time to shop, no mood to shop, feels that everything is unbearable =(

the next few days got better, maybe cos i sort of got used, and told myself to dun care and bother so much, be more easy going and maybe sacrifice a little here and there... yup and the snorkelling trip was fun! first time snorkelling, it was a great experience, the fishes were really pretty and close! and not forgetting the corals too!! food there are really spicy, enjoyed them..

overall, this trip is rather enriching, learnt quite alot... though not fantastically fun, but enjoyed myself too! but would just like to say that once been hurt, the scar will always remain, although it may seemed as though its been healed... any further damage might just collapse everything..........

went for my 8km urun on sunday, and am proud to say that i completed it in 59mins:-) great achievement i would say, considering i took 50mins for my 6km run for water haha ok i wish to take part in more of such events:-)

Now still the same prob, still not sure if i should go bangkok.. Well but glad to say, i'm really touched and happy when i hear my frens saying they'll be worried for me if i'm really going, and asked me to take good care and be really careful if i'm really going.. Nice words to hear, although i dun wish for others to worry too much for me haha but am glad that i'm still in their minds:-)
Not an easy decision to make i'd say...

Was busy for the week, had many events lined up!

On 1st May, went Bukit Timah for trekking with wanying, kanghua, shiting, oer and kenneth... funny enough, we showed up in red, yellow and green, 2 of each color... hahha great combi..

bangkok trip 15th to 20th may confirmed!!! cos of the red shirt protesters, had actually thought i'd to forgo the trip, which brought about quite alot of unhappiness... luckily now everything is ok and we can proceed to the trip.... just hope that nothing like this will ever happen again, for both the situation over there as well ppl's reaction towards my decision...

just came back from jb, bought secret recipe cakes and aunty anne... hehe have been working out quite alot this week, jogging, badminton... yeah have to prepare for the 8km u-run this sun...

Its finally over~

Yeah my exams are finally over~~ though only 2 papers this sem, but cos it spread over 1 week, ya so was quite tiring, plus many assignments due near exams and during exam period... nvm its over! 宋词today was ok, one question that i spotted came out!!! haha but dunno whether i can do well, everything quite brief... okies since its over shall not think about it anymore!

went off for a farm tour with wy after exams, wanted to go goat farm, but it closes at 4, ya so we went kranji d'farm instead... just walk around to relax lol... after that we went jurong point for dessert cos we think still abit early to go over to chihui and luanyin's bbq... hahha yup so went to their bbq at evening time, nice food! bbq-ed abit, quite fun... after that, wy, cp and me had an impromptu outing, went Rochester Park.. it was a nice place!!! excellent ambiance, and i had my favourite long island ice tea... well why do we suddenly want to go there? haha cos got ppl jio us go clubbing, den we not very interested and not in the right attire haha so we decide to go somewhere to chill out instead... guess where we go after Rochester? we went Mustafa! hahah my first visit there, really nice place lol cos they really sell everything!!! okies so after a night of nice food and drinks with great pals, am now home... shall sleep soon, going for a game of badminton tmr morn, followed by K-lunch!!! yeah looking forward ^_^

Finished first paper, still one more to go... Well, the first paper was ok, as in, we alr knew wat's going to come out before the paper, so ya, made all the necessary preparations hahha... then again, since everyone knows wats coming out and made all the preparations, it wun be able to score.. this is always the prob for our papers lol...

however for the next paper, i really have no idea wat n how to study... 90+ song ci to study... just hope i can finish studying hahha...

well, visited my cousin-in-law today at SGH, he's hospitalised due to a minor stroke... cos of the expand of a blood vessel behind his neck... seems serious, cos he can't eat or drink for the past few days, and needs to undergo physiotheraphy next week to learn how to walk, balancing etc.... it came so sudden, cos he's still so young... okies maybe not very young, but only 45, so the news still shocked us... somemore he owned an electrical appliances shop, and he did all the manual labour work like moving goods and stuff, so we thought he was quite fit... just that he smoked... really really hope that he can get well soon, his 2 children are still young....

once again, it showed that life is unpredictable.. reminds me of alot of things..... many unhappy things, but also created in me a sense of motivation, cos i'll remember those who helped me, who once stood by me, who consoled me, and gave me good advice etc...

birthday celebrations

Thank you to all my friends for the birthday wishes!!! Had a great weekend filled with events and really enjoyed myself!!!

Deary arranged a short stay at Kranji D'Farm resort, together with Zan and sis.. He even rented a car so that we can tour around the farms... So we went to Goat farm, and tried the goat milk... Also went to Qian Hu fish farm and tried the fish spa... it was ticklish! haha some of the fishes are quite big, around 15cm long! We also went to Farmart, but quite alot of shops are closed... But all in all, it was fun!!

Sat was Likoon cousin's wedding... the wedding dinner was held at Klapsons Hotel, a new hotel at Tanjong Pagar... a small cosy gathering of family and close friends.. helped out as receptionist, quite fun hahha... took alot of pics also hehe.. Food was nice, but service abit slow lol... drank quite a bit of red wine...

Sun went Pasir Ris, wanting to watch How to train a Dragon, but was a bit tired, so din watch cos am afraid that i'll fall asleep in the cinema lol.. so we went for a walk around pasir ris park instead... went to climb the space net again hahah.. dinner at bedok with family... had the nice curry fish head! very long never eat already yummies!

The above was taken yesterday at Orchard ION, after dinner we went to eat ice cream... had Jap teppanyaki at Ion for dinner, very nice and filling.. =)

my mum treated me to suki sushi for lunch earlier on =)

Am really glad that my dear frens and family showered me with so much love on my birthday, really really enjoyed myself, and thanks to all those who wished me via SMS/FB/personally.... really appreciate them ^_^

N82 ^_^

Got this N82 as an early birthday present from parents and bro =) although its an quite an old model, but i think the function is quite good, comparable to E71.... has wifi, can read pdf and MSoffice stuff, and it has 5 mp camera! with xenon flash so the quality quite good =) just that the buttons are small, still not used to it yet...

finally, managed to finish 1 assignment today, yeah i spent like, almost half the day.. started doin after tuition and lunch.. not too bad haha.. happy! though there's still quite a no. of assignments to do.. hmm.. wondering if i should go and sleep or continue doing work, cos gotta wake up at 4.30 tmr to go tomb sweeping...

Seaview chalet was nice! really loved the serene environment there, can look at the sea from the bedroom.. its like some 世外桃源，makes me forget all the work.. not sure if bro got a chance to ballot again, cos he quitting soon.. will ask him to try and ballot for aug if possible, then i can stay there and relax before new sem starts...

on a side note, it seems that my cough still haven fully recover, can sense the difference in fitness level during gym yesterday haha.. hopefully it'll fully recover soon, dun wish for wat the doc say to be true.... just hope everything will be fine...

Finally, after 2 visits to the doctors, my sore throat is gone, but am still coughing away.. thanks for the well wishes from my frens... assignments are piling up, and i just made a to-do list for my work, realised that there're actually 7 assignments (including lesson plans, reflections, essays etc) to be done, deadline for most will be in 2 weeks time.. haha how am i goin to survive...

well it also means that in about 1 month's time, i'll finish my exams... hahah okies better not think so far ahead, shall work to finish my assignments first... but, bro got Seaview chalet at Changi again.. he said that this will most prob be the last time he'll be getting it, cos he's leaving RSAF later in the year.. yeah so we'll be goin over later today, most prob i'lll stay till thur.. but travelling from changi to boonlay is tiring! haha its from one end of the island to another... okies i got to do work now..

Still sick.....

After few days of self-medication and resting at home, i'm still sick.... due to fever, had to skip lesson yesterday to go see doc.... in the end the doc gave the same medicine that i had at home... wasted my time and money... dunno how long is this cough and sore throat goin to last, still got presentation on fri and nx mon =( well no choice also, cos i dun really have time to eat the cough mixture, as it causes drowsiness, and i cant possibly eat it in the day right? got lessons and endless work to do.....


hopefully i can recover soon.....

Life...

Am down with a sore throat, hopefully it'll recover soon, cos many assignments and projects due soon, no time for me to take a good rest..... It had been a tiring week with numerous project meetings and assignments... furthermore, got to know that my uncle passed away... quite sad, cos he's staying alone, and we were not informed of his death until half an hour before his cremation... so yesterday, on the 7th day of his death, we went to offer our prayers at bright hill... and its also yesterday then we knew that the cause of death is actually gastric cancer...

亲情应该是可贵的，但是堂伯的亲妹妹在他生前都不愿去探望他，就连他过世了也没有去拜祭。因为爸爸曾经过继给伯公，所以和堂伯手足情深，也经常帮助没有工作的他过日子。希望爸爸不要太难过。希望我们能够珍惜我们身边的亲人。金钱毕竟只是生不带来、死不带去的身外物，为什么要如此执著而忽略了更重要的东西呢？

Recess Week!

Its recess week alr! time really flies, it seems as if we just started school not long, and it's alr recess week, next week will be the 8th week alr! which means exams coming soon? hahha anyway, shall first enjoy my recess week..

After tuition on Sat, met deary and we went Serangoon North to look for hamsters.. didn't held high hopes of getting one at first cos i'd wanted to get a Blackbear again, and this breed is usually quite rare... Indeed, we didn't get to see any blackbears in all the shops there.. however, i saw this Pearl Winterwhite at Petmet which caught my eye immediately! its very small, the person say its around 1 mth but i think its smaller than that... hahha so i got this white hammie, while deary got himself a grey color winterwhite... then we went home happily with 2 new hamsters ^_^ after settling them into cages, we brought deary's 小灰侠back to his house while my 白宝sleeps in my house happily..

after we reached his house, shan shan is also at his place, and she's curious to see the hamster... after seeing that its grey in color, she say she doesn't like and walks away.. cos she has a white one at home.. so cute! anyway after dinner that day, she only wants me to hold her hand and we walked a long distance...even when her mum wants to hold her hands she also dun want! hhhaha she even asked when am i going to visit her again..

went cruise with mummy on mon, nth much, just walked around, observing ppl gamble hahha.. i noticed that gamblers always have big theories, as in they',ll always say until its very easy to win etc, but it doesn't seem like the case lol... after cruise we went white sands for KFC, yummies and bought some food for 白宝 before going home.. well, after reaching home, my mum accompanied me to the meet-the-ppl session with my mp haha first time visiting quite interesting.. next time shall go earlier cos they say the mp will say some words at the start of the session.. nice experience lol...

yesterday went ECP with deary for a mini picnic session.. he made burger for me, while i made some appetizer and dessert.. had planned to cycle, but in the end we took a walk instead, so we walked for around 3 hours? taking photos in between.. we drank the coconut drink at the hawker also ^_^ although the weather was quite hot and we perspired quite alot, but it was fun and enjoyable.. after that, we went over to shan shan's house in the evening, cos her house is just opp ecp, just beside the underpass from mac's.. she's very happy to see us! we played with her for 1 hour plus, she's really energetic hahha..

nth much today, went for breakfast with parents at bedok, then to 四马路temple.. walked around, go see see watch at bencoolen.. well, shall go and have a jog now...

Chinese New Year

Well, over the first few days of CNY, my parents quarreled, so whole family wasn't very happy.. luckily things got better since last weekend, so everything is ok now! my relatives even came our house last night! it was busy but i'm HAPPY! cooked few dishes, and helped out with the heating up of food and stuff, so no time to play saboteur with cousins...

we've been playing 'murderer' and 'saboteur' this CNY, and our forfeit will be to eat CNY goodies, ya becos everyone's house has alot of food to clear lol... i really enjoyed myself this weekend, hopefully my family can be always happy like this! ^_^

anyway, watched Alls well ends well 2010 today at PS, a funny show, better than the 72 tenants haha.. well i suddenly remembered that i've got to hand in a lesson plan on fri, so i better work on it now...

For my Dearest Pinkie

To my dearest Pinkie, you will always be remembered...

My dear Pinkie passed away peacefully on 17th Feb 2010... She looked as if she's sleeping, with food around her inside her small house...

Rest in peace Pinkie...

虎年快乐！

祝愿大家虎年行好运，身体健康，笑口常开！

On CNY eve, had reunion dinner at home, ate steamboat, very sumptuous! After that we proceed to River Any Bao at marina area, they had some amusement rides this year, and it looks fun! but too bad both my bro and sis dun dare to play with me.. after looking at the decorations, we went home to count down... we played with those party poppers, and my sis sprayed those party sprays, cos she dun dare to play with the party poppers lol..

First day of CNY, waited for 3rd uncle to come our house before we go out... went cousin beng's house first before going 2nd uncle's house.. this year seems like everyone leaves quite early, think they are going to 'visit' the casino at Resorts world.. so all the cousins went to watch movie, 72 tenants of prosperity

Its not as funny as expected, but still quite ok.. its just a typical 贺岁片。

新的一年的开始，就做了一个好梦，为新的一年带来新的希望！

希望大家能充分享受这几天的假日！

As usual, our family made popiah to prepare for CNY, so on wed night, we cut the popiah vege and cooked until 3+am in the morn... hahah..

Bro came back on tues! yeah finally after 3 weeks.. he got some clothes for us, as well as alot of food like chocolate, snacks etc...

Just came back from Chinatown, wow its very crowded! and we also went Giant, cos its open for 24 hours.. and we bought alot of those taiwan mochi at cheap price! okies gotta go and sleep soon, tmr have to help mum prepare food for reunion dinner!

am so happy that CNY is coming! Its the most enjoyable festival of the year!

Had tuition today, celebrated Priscilla's birthday, and gave her a little gift, glad that she likes it =) the egg mayo pizza is nice! haha okies anyway after tuition went home, wanting to sleep, but parents wan to go amk hub to exchange the toyogo box... the crowd was scary! it was so crowded in the ntuc that we had difficulties pushing the trolley around... anyway, chanced upon weiqiang, well i think this is not the first time we ran into each other while shopping, to the extent that my mum could even recognise him lol..

Just came back from Robinson's Warehouse sale at Singapore Expo... went to fetch sis then we started our shopping spree haha it was quite crowded, and from the time we went in (around 9pm), the queue for cashier is already very very long.. it's supposed to close at 10pm, but at 10pm, the queue is still very long, so we decided to continue shopping until the queue gets shorter hhah so we left the place around 10.30... hmm get bedsheets for the new year, and some snacks.. helped my mum to get a bolster also..

After that we waited for Deary as he's attending a wedding dinner at expo also.. yup then after dropping my sis at Tamp, i sent Deary home... Exchanged our Valentine's day gifts, and i got a nice black leather ipod touch case! yeah have been yearning to have 1 for very long alr thanks deary! hope u like the polo top from tommy hilfiger i got for you =) and of cos the nice nice frame i did haha..

drove home, and now i know why wanying always speed lol esp when there's not much cars on road... shall go and sleep soon...

Dizzy Spells

Wondering wats the cause of dizzy spells, and it came so sudden.. well hope it wun happen again, esp not when i'm driving lol.. okies that's why i haven't been driving for the past few days, cos still feel my visions blurring at times... hopefully its just due to the lack of rest, and nothing serious...

well, sat had to stay home all day cos of the sudden dizziness in the morn... sun went for Esther and Bryan's ROM at VillaBali.. well they had their solemnization there and invited close frens and relatives... but i'm not that close with them also hahah just went there with Deary.. afterthat sis came to fetch us to go ECP, and we had a little BBQ there, using our own pit... think she bought too much food, until we have to da-bao them home haha..

nothing much happened for the past week, lessons were boring *as usual*, shalll enjoy these 2 weeks before cny, and yeah, my bro is coming back next tues! abit weird without him around lol..

Happy 30th Month-sary to my Deary! ^_^

Nosignboard crabbie + Chinatown Lights up....

Went Central mall's Nosignboard restaurant for chilli crabbie with parents earlier on, before going to chinatown.. cos its the lights up today, and it was very crowded! haha it has become a tradition that my mum and me will always go ^_^

School was alright this week, finished off 1 presentation.. anyway its good to have a free day in the mid week, can catch a rest hehe.. but i spent it on packing up my room, clearing some old clothes, and donated them this morn in a punggol Go Green event...

I thought this will be a happy week, cos my medical appt turns out good, although its a long 2.5hrs wait.. but its worth it hahah cos condition is getting good =) and today went chinatown, immersed in cny atmosphere.. but somehow somethings still turn out not as good..

Well its ok, cos I realised that happiness is something that comes and goes easily... at least for ppl in today's society, when our expectations, wishes and wants are constantly increasing... we leave no time to reflect on our own actions, cos everyone wants and wishes to be happy... but perhaps, you're building your happiness on another person's suffering/unhappiness unknowingly??? from another perspective, are you willing to be unhappy just to let others be happy?

1st week of sch...

After 1 week of school.. Still in holiday mood... Although there's already work coming in -- lesson plan to be handed in next mon, and presentation on fri... okies but i already made plans for my weekend...

After tuition today, went Katong Shopping centre to meet Deary, Zan & my sis for KTV at TeoHeng... the session ended at 7, then we walked over to marine parade hawker for dinner... afterwhich we shopped around for awhile at Parkway Parade, and got some stuff from Cotton On...

Shall be going to sleep soon.. cos tmr still meeting them for mahjong and tennis... okies i should at least write up the lesson plan first right? haha shall ATTEMPT to do so...

hmm anyway, managed to collect the 9 doraemons, 3 more to go ^_^ but why isn't there pig? since it's supposed to be the 12 animals of zodiac.. how can pig be left out??

saw my bro's photos on fb, and it seems that he's enjoying himself, and the food looks ok, seems like he'll put on weight lol...

Wanted to have a rest over the weekend, but in the end went out with WY for half of Sat, roaming around hahah.. Then sunday went swimming at 5th aunt Seaview condo with Deary, before going for dinner at ECP Nosignboard restaurant with family, as farewell dinner for bro... the crab was great! and we all had very filling dinner...

School started on Mon, lessons was ok, teachers are quite interesting, but seems that i'm still in holiday mood =p went Safra Tamp for a swim after sch... today's lessons more boring, i nearly fell asleep during both lectures lol... and today wy and i were listening to cassette tapes on her car! lol its been so long since i listened to tape lol!

just had steamboat dinner at home, am bloating now.. later will be sending my bro off to airport... Bon voyage and hope he'll enjoy the trip! (which i doubt so, haha since he's going to a desert, and there's only 1 shopping mall which needs a 3 hours car ride from his dorm... )

Happy 24th Birthday!

Happy 24th Birthday Deary!

Just got home after 3d2n Genting trip, it was very fun and enjoyable! Played in the theme park, thanks Deary for playing the mini roller coaster with me! ^_^ We tried playing archery also, was quite fun...

Hope Deary likes the watch I got for him, and the little surprises that I planned... Am feeling very tired now, cos we watched mid-night movies for both nights...

Watched Treasure Hunter for the 1st night, the show is only ok.. Both deary and I thought that the plot was abit weird.. I think it seems ridiculous that the highly skilled 沙漠飞鹰 who's protecting the treasures still exist in this time and age.. yup but there was some parts quite funny...

Old Dogs is much better compared to Treasure Hunter, perhaps cos it's a comedy, and I usually prefer comedies more.. Had great laughs...

Part of the bday surprise for Deary is this DAZZLE performance.. there's magic, dances, moving statue, shadows, and fast-dress changing.. Performance was superb, really enjoyed it!

All in all, it was a great 3d2n trip although i've been there many times, but glad that Deary enjoyed his first trip to Genting ^_^

Happy 24th Birthday again to my Dearest!

Off for Genting in 9 hours! Yeah will be going to Genting tmr until Fri..

Thanks to all my frens who showed their concern.. everything is alright now, thanks! ^_^ Shall happily enjoy my holiday at Genting, and celebrating Deary's birthday at the same time =)

29 Months

Time really flies, its the 29th month we're together... Many things happened, many memories are created, both happy and unhappy, I guess it's normal as in any other relationships...

In this new year, just hope that promises can be kept, and no more(or lesser) disappointments...

"As life gets busier, you tend to forget why you're attracted to each other in the first place"

--saw this quote on a fren's fb status... I guess sometimes we tend to take things for granted as time passes... hopefully we can all reflect often, and be thankful for everything that he/she does for you!

Are promises meant to be broken??? Please tell me how to believe in you again... All say and no action isn't making things work... it's not just about saying 'if i do this i can make u happy, i'll do it' and not doing it... if u say so too many times, and never do it, what for say it??

Happy 2010!!!

Happy New Year to everyone!!!!

May everyone be blessed with good health and happiness in 2010! Throw away all the unhappiness in 2009, and let's welcome the new year with a good start!

Went to meet my sis, bro and xiuli at Vivo city this afternoon for lunch.. We ate at Musselguys, and the food was quite ok.. cheap also, $7.80 for a set meal haha.. After that my sis and I shopped around awhile at Vivo, before we proceed to Orchard... We continued shopping before Deary came, and then sis went off to meet Zan... So I wanted to go use up the $5 Gelare voucher Ms Tan WY passed to me (2 days before it expires), and I walked from Taka to Far East plaza to eat... Upon reaching, then we found out that the outlet has closed down =(, so we took a bus to PS, hoping to use up the voucher (still very determined...) However, after reaching PS, we found out that the outlet close down too... What happened to all the Gelare outlets???? So we gave up and just walked around PS... In the end

we ate a ham and mushroom crepe, and a Tropicana from yammi yogurt, should be more healthy than Gelare i supposed...

We went back to Vivo for dinner, at the Japanese gourmet town.. I had Volcano ramen hahah nice while Deary had chicken soup curry... yummy food! After that we went for a walk, then to the movies!

Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, the movie was cute and nice!! Really a heartwarming way to end 2009! After our movies, we went to vivo roofgarden for the countdown party by channel 8.. it was very crowded, but we managed to find a spot where we got a good view of the big projector screen hahha.. At 12, i sprayed the party spray that my sis gave me... well, it seems that all the ppl around me do not have the spray so they all looked puzzled and all turn back and look at me.. but who cares? hahah its the new year so just be happy!!!

Here's wishing everyone again, a happy new year!
