How Time Flies

2010-05-19T23:10:00.005+08:00

Just attended Janice's graduation ceremony yesterday. It's only then I realised that I've graduated from poly since 4 years ago. How time flies! Look at the changes. Back then we did not have a gown to wear, all we wore was a formal attire. I can't help but to admit that I am old haha!

I ♥ Bali!

2010-05-07T22:59:00.022+08:00

It's definitely nice to go travelling, especially with my favourite travel buddy. Was back in bali but this time we went legian to explore and ubud again for our favourite babi guling, massages & spa and this time we rented a bike there. It's only $8 per day and petrol is super cheap, definitely an experience!

The holiday feeling disappears as soon as I step off the plane. I wonder when will my next trip will be.

Oh well, back to reality.

Back at Ibu Oka

Us with Ibu Oka. She was nice enough to invite us to her place to see the cooking. They start preparing at 6am. Can u imagine how early we got to wake up just to see?

Sorry Babis for not being able to resist u. One of the daughter stitching up the pigs after putting the spices in.

After 5 hours of preparation & cooking. At 11am, they start their operations.

Delicious Babi Guling!

Biker Chic, only in Ubud

Zen Spa - Happy only!

Minister of Finance - Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam will be coming to my place or rather corridor shortly. I don't know for whatever reason is he coming but we (neighbours & us) were asked to organise a potluck session by the RC committee to welcome him.

My humourous sister then suggested to my dad to come up with a wishlist for him and a welcome song that goes "Money, money, money, must be funny in a rich man's world..." -_-

2010-03-21T17:30:00.002+08:00

Dear Pocket,

I am sorry to tell u that I will be hurting you so much this coming April.

Regards,
Happy owner

Over and done with

It's finally over!

Satisfied and awaiting the good news, hopefully.

Doing it Right

2010-03-07T23:55:00.002+08:00

It's important to know what you are doing, you are doing it right.

I am sure I am doing the right thing and will not have any second thoughts about it. Even in the event that I fail, at least I know I have tried my best.

Yet another Love

2010-02-27T13:35:00.008+08:00

Succulent roast pig, spicy sauce and crispy skin. Amazingly flavourful tender pork also know as Babi Guling.

Must try it at Ibu Oka when you are in Bali - Ubud.

I am addicted, will be back for more this April!

Tiger Year = Gd Year?

2010-02-18T23:19:00.002+08:00

Happy Lunar New Year to all!

I keep hearing people mentioning that this is a Golden Tiger year. What does it exactly means? Will this year be good or will it create havoc for me? I don't know. It's not as if I believe totally in Feng Shui and predictions but sometimes so happen to read it so just continue to read on.

I've seen quite a few stating that I will have more traveling opportunities and career movements. How true will this be? I am waiting. When either of this comes true, I will definitely make known to everyone again.

On the other hand, one not so good aspect would be my health. It states that I need to lose some blood for instance tooth extraction. Like what the hell?!?! I was intending to have my wisdom tooth extracted this year. Got so accurate anot? Does it mean if i go according to as plan, my luck will change for the better? haha

Whatever it is, I'll just take all these as a guide and not follow too closely. Anyway here's wishing everyone a prosperous Tiger Year!

Season of Love & Giving

2009-12-13T20:08:00.006+08:00

This's a season to be jolly~ Fa la la la la la la la la~!

2009-12-05T21:49:00.000+08:00

It's been a few years since we last met and we just got reconnected via sms 2 weeks ago. Catching up with each other's lives and I even complained about you changing numerous hp numbers without updating me. We even agreed to meet for coffee soon and never will i expect to be meeting u in the hospital.

I was really heartbroken to see you in such a state. Sincerely hope you will recover the soonest and will be praying for u.

Please be strong.

Blading Fun

Blading at ECP with the gang was fun but minus the rain that we experienced half way through haha!

Facebook Addict

2009-10-21T22:52:00.004+08:00

Are you one? If yes, then you have contracted the Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD)!

You are a facebook addict if..

1) You lose sleep over FB. When using, it becomes a complusion and you spend entire night logged onto the site, causing u to be tired the following day.

No way! My sleep is so much more important than anything else!

2) You spend more than 1 hour a day on FB.

I only spend the most 15mins on FB.

3) You become obsessed with old loves and ex-es you reconnect on FB.

Not me. Why live in the past, move on!

4) You ignore work in favour of FB. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on FB.

I am a gd employee.

5) The thought of getting off FB leaves u in cold sweat. If you try going off a day without it and causes u stress and anxiety, this means u need help.

I think the thought of not having food for 1 day will leave me in cold sweat more than anything else haha!

I am glad I am not one haha!

Sense of Achievement!

2009-10-12T22:16:00.002+08:00

Yours truly ran 7 rounds at the stadium today! One more than the previous session. Now super exhausted. People, please praise me can? hahaha.

2009-10-08T23:14:00.003+08:00

Goodbye SFA 5211Z! Hello SJT3563Z!

The Run

2009-10-05T21:12:00.001+08:00

After multiple failed attempts to Gombak stadium, I finally made it today and yes I ran 6 rounds without stopping! So that was 2.4km, not bad for someone like me who had not been running for ages.

I never knew this stadium had various opening hours for different days. Mon & Fri 630pm, Tue to Thur 730pm! The very first time, we went on wed and since it only open so late, we headed to the gym beside it. We didnt pay attention to the opening hours of other days so happily came back the following thur straight after work. How smart can we be right? This time round we decided to save money and just run round the estate.

So now monday will be the offical jogging day to train for the 1okm marathon in dec. I hope I will pull through. *cross fingers*

Hen's Night

2009-09-28T22:51:00.009+08:00

One of my friend is getting married on the 4th Oct so as her sisters, we decided to do something different from the usual hen's night. Instead of thinking how to play pranks and throwing dares, we spared her and treated ourselves to Kumar's live show at 3-Monkeys. It was definitely entertaining and worth every single cent!

A Yearly Affair

2009-09-18T23:47:00.003+08:00

I lost my voice again! How nice. Just 2 weeks ago I had stomach flu and now down with a sore throat.

Can someone just teach me how not to lose my voice annually?

Luck Does Play a Part

2009-04-21T22:09:00.005+08:00

I think I am quite fortunate at times. Well I just got a promotion at work despite such harsh times and considering that I have only been in the company for 2 years and just graduated, this can be said as one of the greatest benefit I've ever received. I guess it's just being at the right place at the right time and of course with the right and good boss. Typically upon graduation, we would not be expecting a promotion within a short period of time but it so happened that after my graduation, I had my apprasial and in which I got pretty good grade for that and was also nominated for a promotion.

P.S. I am quite thankful for the colleagues that have taught me and given me lots of opportunities for exposure.

Happy 18th Bdae

2009-04-02T23:59:00.004+08:00

You are Finally 18!

Headed to town for dinner to celebrate my youngest sister's birthday. You can club, drink, watch m-18 shows officially. Happy anot haha?

I still remembered when I was 18, I had to party secretly fearing that mum will scold but now mum even ask me to bring my sisters to club!

2009-03-30T23:36:00.001+08:00

What's eating me? Sadness...

I cant describe it.

Just feeling empty and melancholy.

I guess time will heal everything.

Everything Happens for a reason?

2009-03-15T01:01:00.005+08:00

Most of us would like to say:

"Everything happens for a reason."

What if some things just so happened? By accident, by chance or by fate?

Not everything happens for a reason. There are things that happened with no reason.

We care for one another without a reason. Family, loved ones, close friends. Is there a reason for us to show love and concern to them? Nope. It all comes from the bottom of our hearts.

Sometimes when you are making a decision, people around you will ask, why did you choose this and not that?

I can only tell them, there’s no particular reason as I just follow my heart.

Finally A Graduate

2008-11-28T23:45:00.002+08:00

28 Nov 08 marks a significant day for me. That is because I have gotten the green light from school to attend the graduation ceremony in Melbourne and this simply means that I have officially graduated from RMIT! All my hardwork had finally paid off.

Looking forward to aussie come Dec 14! =)

2008-09-30T22:09:00.002+08:00

Modesto's

Met up with the guys and girls at Modesto's to celebrate wen & lin's birthday. Finally met up as everyone was busy for the past few weeks. It was my first time dining there and I must say the food is good. Look at the pizza, it is huge as we ordered a 20 inch which allowed us to create our very own pizza. We also had their speciality, the all-time favourite seafood pasta. Delicious! Definitely worth dining again.

I hate Mondays!

2008-09-14T14:41:00.004+08:00

I hate Mondays!

Do you know what I find worse than getting up on a Monday morning? It is getting up on a Sunday morning dreading that tomorrow will be a Monday. This day is nothing but project submissions and normally weekends would be burnt. How nice. I seriously cannot wait to put a full stop to all of these!

Korean food - Hyang-To-Gol Korean Restaurant

2008-09-09T22:55:00.001+08:00

Hyang-To-Gol Korean Restaurant

Korean cuisine was seldom on the top of my dining list. However I was told by my friend that this Hyang-To-Gol Korean Restaurant at Amara Hotel is pretty good by word of mouth from others. Judging by the name of the restaurant, my guess was there must be some level of authenticity in the food there. So we decided to give it a try.

The moment I stepped inside the restaurant, it made me thought of Jewel In The Palace. The staffs were all dressed in the traditional customes and greeted us in Korean. As both of us were first-time diners, we were suprised by the restaurant's generosity – a spread of 10 small side dishes, are provided free-of-charge for every table. I must say the kimchi is really good, though I am not a big fan of it. We had the hot pot and pan fried items, its a pity we did not try their bbq items as there are really too many things to choose from. Probably the next time when I have craving for korean food again and will go elsewhere to try.

Beef & more beef

A traditional Korean drum displayed at the entrance. Wonder how many will hit the drum for their good service haha..

Hui Ling & Wee Liang's Solmnization

Sometime ago on 20 08 2008, the few of us attended their solmnization which was held at the National Library. A small yet a memorable event and I sincerely wish them a happy and blissful marriage.

Fireworks at Marina Bay

Managed to get hold of the tickets and caught the fireworks display by Korea. However the weather wasn't really kind to us as it drizzled a little. This explains why we were watching it with our umbrellas and others even had their raincoats on. Suprisingly, it was still crowded but I still preferred last year's display by China.

Minori + Minds Cafe

Had a japanese ala cart buffet with the girls. A wide variety of selections at a reasonable price. As u can see we actually took so many pics here as Melissa had bought a new camera on that very day. Headed to Minds Cafe for some board games and that was my 2nd time there. I must say its a good place to de-stress and make hell lots of noise!

A pic shoot - On our way to Minds Cafe

Happily engrossed in the games

The Prime Society

Actual birthday dinner was spent with the bf at Dempsey. He ordered the Spatchcock Chicken while I had Ribeye Steak with red wine sauce. The ambience there is fantastic, a blend of old-world charm and laid back warmth feeling. Bascially it mixes contemporary with a colonial touch, great for chilling out too!

Can't wait for tomorrow's belated bdae lunch at vivo with the sec. sch friends but this time Eliz won't be around. Will definitely remember to take more pics for u to see k. Miss u girl but I am glad that u are adapting fast over at Shanghai =)!

It has been 8 months since they both left the company and we finally met up for a decent meal. We girls being girls, the moment we went into the restaurant, started snapping right away. Food was not too bad and at a affordable price + 10% discount for DBS cardholders too!

Ben & Jerry's @ Dempsey

One paper down and decided to unwind abit. Eventually ended up at Ben & Jerry for dessert.

The very satisfied us!

Rewinding back:

On 26th April, we were at Brewerkz celebrating Eliz's bithday. Glad that I could join them eventually. Great time catching up with the rest of my secondary sch friends as well. I will definitely miss her when she is off to Shanghai for her overseas exchange program. It's gonna be one whole year man!

Lady in red is the pretty birthday girl. The 3 of us knew each other since Pre-pri sch days!

Good old secondary sch friends

Near 'Death' Experience

2008-05-03T16:06:00.004+08:00

Near 'Death' Experience

Woke up this morning and only to realise that my laptop died on me. It cannot be even switch to safe mode or run Windows normally. All it appeared was a blue screen stating "Unmountable Boot Volume". Helplessly, I started calling my friends. The moment they knew I encountered a blue screen, their first reaction was computer crashed. This time really very unlucky as I forgot to backup my almost due project. How great!

Headed to the nearby computer service outlet to rectify the problem. Thankfully all my work was able to retrieve back as the hardisk was still working, if not I have to redo my project again. According to the staff there, my Windows was corrupted and that explained why I could not get into it.

Lesson learnt: Backup everything be it you are using a new or old laptop as the computer will not show any symptoms of failing.

Awfully Hot!

2008-04-29T20:53:00.002+08:00

Awfully Hot!

It's so hot till I feel like squeezing myself into the refrigerator and not move at all! I miss the rain man. Wonder how long will such weather last.

On a lighter note, my colleague bought the department some hong kong snacks for breakfast today. So nice right? (p.s: only for today, haha!)

Anyway its always nice having treats from different people. Be it for any ocassion or for no particular reason. Take for instance, my manager likes to treat us for no reason, it's just the culture I guess. Whatever it is, I'll just eat till my hearts' content. =)

CNY In Muar

Celebrating Chinese New Year in muar has always been a yearly affair for my family. Good time to get together and catch up with one another. Seeing my nieces and nephew growing up so quickly and entering primary school, this is also an indication for us that age is catching up already.

By the way, Secret Recipe has opened its first branch in muar! Quite a good improvement considering that its a small town. Nonetheless the food and beverages were cheap!

Off to Muar

2007-12-20T12:35:00.000+08:00

Off to Muar town with a sore throat, how nice~

Till then enjoy the long week of break!

Reminisce

When is the last time u had a real good laugh
When is the last time u looked into e sky n smiled
When is the last time u gave someone a real warm hug
When is the last time u cooked for someone u loved
When is th e last time u gave yourself a little pat on your back
When is the last time u looked into e mirror and liked what u see
When is the last time u liked yourself for who u are
I remember losing myself in the eyes of a child
I wanna see what they see
Feel what they feel
The innocence we have lost, the world we sometimes forgot
Love yourself for who u are and never forget the simple happiness we all have in us
The first bite of ice cream, the burst of rainbow in the sky
The first kiss we had, the one hug we miss
We should be HAPPY =)

Crazy Ang Mo

The crazy ang mo western food had recently been featured in the news so decided to check it out at one of the coffeeshop in Bishan. Interesting how they use a PA system for alerting customers to collect their orders and making announcements. Waiting time was abit too long for this hungry me.

Chance or choice

2007-09-19T00:21:00.000+08:00

Chance or Choice

It was by chance I came across this article about chance and choice. It was my choice that I chose to read the article and how I interpret it.

I came to this world by chance, not by choice. So it's not my choice to experience life, pain, sorrow, happiness but by chance.

The path I have is not by chance but my choice. The people I met are by chance but not my choice. The friends that I made are by chance and my choice.

When you work in a place, it's by chance and when you continue to work in that place, it's by choice.

When you meet someone you are attracted to, it's by chance and when you are with that someone, it's by choice.

When you found out something which you did not intend to, it's by chance but when you had the intention to search for something, that's by choice.

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep Trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor And make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your Right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

Congrats

How 'Lucky' can I be

I was supposed to be dining at Pier 11 @ Marina South Pier tonight for my long awaited bdae dinner after postponing twice. However upon arrival, we were told that the whole place was booked for a private function by the Prime Minister! What a perfect timing man. That explains why I could not get through their line for the whole day to make a reservation.

Oh well, better luck next time...

On a happier note, the bf's dad is getting better each day, hopefully can be discharged by national day =)

Its 20 07 2007 today..

Many couples are getting married on this date.

One couple whom I heard from the news said marrying on this date cuz it is easier to remember. If this were to happen to me, I am surely disappointed. Marriage dates are supposed to be significant to both and not just getting married on a date for easy remembrance right?

I didn't had much luck in this year's NDP ticket balloting but I did managed to get tickets for the family day show, all thanks to my parents and sister who are performing!

It's quite an experience to be able to sit at the platform of marina bay to catch the whole parade especially when this is the first year and that the stage is on a floating platform. I am really impressed!

Some pics I took:

Proud to be a Singaporean!

Look at these cannons, it literally facing the audiences and it's very loud!

Been working for almost 6 months and in less than a month's time will be yours truly 21st birthday. I've went to many of my friends 21st birthday celebration but still got no idea of how to celebrate mine. Maybe just a simple dinner and chilling out after that as I am too lazy to book a chalet and entertain so many people. I am still thinking what to get for myself as a bdae gift. =P

Anyway I am happy today as I've cleared my exams!

Lesson of Stress

This blog entry was given ironically by someone who would usually be giving someone else stress - otherwise known as BOSS.

This is the blogger's entry to remember his friend - who passed away from her stressful job

If you have some time on hand, read the comments, most of them (those who know the deceased personally) had one thing in common - regret(s). Not meeting earlier, meeting up as often .

There are more things in life other than money. Don't work for money, make money work for you. It's a pity someone died trying to do her job. Maybe her post should be given to those who pressed her. It seems that she could almost felt it coming. Must learn to relax. Must learn to appreciate what & those around me. Must learn to know in life, other then focusing on building a career or busy making money, don't forget those close ones around you. Without them, I will be nothing.

4th May, finally!

Sorry for being MIA for so long.

Finally this day has come! Life without the internet can really die. I even had to go to a nearby mac just to use the free wireless net. Nonetheless, I finally got a new Mio plan which is good as I can surf wirelessly unlike my ancient starhub modem which I previously used where I had to be in the study room just to use the net.

Anyway today, 4th May also marks my 1 year of driving which means that I am no longer on probation! No more P-plate!! lalala~

Dear Friend,

My name is Mr. Chan Lee, I work with BANK OF CHINA, Hong Kong,have a Business Proposal for you. Our late client named Mr. Hamadi Hashem made a fixed deposit amount of US$17.3m he did not declare any next of kin in any of his paper work, I want you as a foreigner to stand as the beneficiary to transfer this funds out of my bank into your account, after the successful transfer, we shall share in the ratio of 30% for you and 70% for me.

All I need from you is your readiness, trustworthiness and dedication. I need to know if you will be able to handle this with me before I explain to you in details. Should you be interested please send me the required information below;

(1) Full Names
(2) Current Residential Address and Telephone number

I will want you to reach me on my private email:chan04lee@yahoo.com.uk. Finally after that I shall provide you with more information.

Regards, Chan Lee

>>>Feeling bored and upon receiving the following email, i responded and let's see what's his response. I am promised 30% of US$17.3m, which amounts to approximately US$ 5.19m which is roughly S$7.87m. Wow, better than spending S$0.50 on ToTo/4D and hoping to strike it big, what's better is that i do not need any investment amount. Just email and money come in... so easy!!!! MEH???!! ahahaaaa

Hi Chan Lee,

Firstly, I would like to know how you got my email? I do not know you and as such may not be justify as your friend.

Secondly, I am of course tempted to have 30% of US$17.3m as mentioned in your email.

Thirdly, there are many victims fallen to such cases due to the numerous email scams that are highly available. In order for this to work out, i would gladly provide all my personal particulars to you provided you transferred to me US$1m first. You can later at end of the transaction take this US$1m out of the 30% which I am being promised.

Please do it electronically to my US bank account: 99-12-345678-789-0. This is to ensure my privacy first.

Once I received this amount from you, you would have ensured me that this is not a case of fraud. Upon which I will engage my personal lawyer to get in touch with you for the paper work required. Out of which I would then be more than happy to absorb the lawyer's fee on my own.

Please revert as soon as possible. Many thanks to you.

I dislike Mondays!

2007-03-26T20:25:00.000+08:00

I dislike Mondays!

I have a problem with Mondays. I just simply dislike them. The thought of dragging myself out from the bed on Monday mornings are the most difficult times. "Sian" is the best word to describe. Worst still when I make it a point to wake up even earlier on Monday mornings just to be in time to catch the bus but end up is either I miss it or the bus coming late. This is already not the first time and resulted in me taking cab to work and this would mean $12 burn away from my pocket! Mondays just do not click with me or should I say Mondays are not my day. I do not see such a thing happening to me on other days!

I like Tuesdays as waking up on a Tuesday morning would means that I have successfully made it through Monday. Wednesdays are my favourite as it is midweek! As for Thursday, it would mean just one more day to Fridays - TGIF and finally the weekends are here!

Unpredictable

Today's lesson from this road junction shows how fragile life is.

This road junction is where i have crossed multiple times or should I say almost everyday.

Life is indeed unpredictable. One second, one thought, one move may change one's life forever. This is exactly why one should not waste time. Treasure what you have now rather then when you lose it. Say what you have to say now rather then another day. For one day, you may not have that one chance should your life chose to be unpredictable.

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

I haven been back to Ngee Ann Poly for quite some time. Come thursday will be their openhouse. Sis will be going down with her friends so most likely wont be joining her.

Kind of miss the canteen food there and I feel like going back to eat. Any takers?

This simply irks me!

2007-01-13T23:56:00.000+08:00

This simply irks me!

I just detest people who make false accusations of others.

If you have the guts, just confront us directly, why talk behind other's back? To think we had a compassionate heart to include your name in our group project, not 1 but 2 ok! Even though you did not contribute much or should I say never even contribute anything cuz the quality of work you gave us was purely SHIT- sloppy work! I should have just listened to my mum's advise and not include his name at all!

First you say you had to settle some personal stuff at Melbourne during the time we had to do our first group project. You say no matter what you will be online whenever we need to communicate with you plus you even mention you had international roaming. All these was just a pack of LIES!! I could not even get you on the hp at all and when I sent u emails, you say internet connection was not available and the fastest email I received was when I asked for your student number which was to be included in the project. Please la, dun treat us like 3 year old kids ok, we all know why u went to Melbourne k.

As for the second project, I was already hestitant in including your name in the project. If not for another friend who talk to us, you can forget about getting that high score. This time we also gave you ample time to complete your task, though you did your part but when I asked u to edit it, you gave me such lame reason by saying blackout at your place. What shit is this? End up still the 3 of us had to complete your part. +-*/!!!

Now end up what did we get? Not even a single thanks from you and you still want to accuse us saying that we tell tales to the lecturers and causing you to get such results! Come on, you eventually still cleared all the modules, how about those who did not? Did you spare a thought for them. No you didnt, cuz u are just a selfish creature and I m really disgusted by you!!

Truth hurts

2007-01-07T22:40:00.000+08:00

I don't deny sometimes the truth hurts. Just when I thought things were going to be fine, it somehow went wrong. It just had to happen. The funniest thing was I expected something like this to happen sooner or later, just that I wasn't really quite prepared for it. But how do u prepare yourself for situations as fragile as this?

New Year, New Beginning

My family decided to have a steamboat dinner after caming across the steamboat gas stove in the storeroom this morning. So off they went to shop for the ingredients. Finally after so long, had a steamboat at home, eat until full full!

While eating, mum saw a rainbow outside the window and I went to snap pics of it. It's been a long time since I last saw one.

I thought I could avoid Middle Road in Bugis for the time being since its my school holidays now but the moment I was in Hong Kong, I saw this:

Accident

2006-12-03T23:08:00.000+08:00

What a Day!

Just this morning while I was driving to Senja for my morning prayers, I met with a minor accident. Stupid multi-story carpark but this is really my fault as I was so stupid to bang into of all the things, a pillar! Really very blind of me man, straight away after exams such a thing had to happen.

Lesson learnt: Never take the left rear mirror for granted!

End result:

Took this rear lamp back for remembrance & it's in my bedroom now!

8th Motor show

2006-11-20T14:35:00.000+08:00

My bad, haven't been updating.

Was at the 8th Motorshow over the weekends. Though it was the last day of the whole motorshow, it was still crowded with people. It was indeed exciting cuz I got to test sit on many different cars which I never got a chance to and the best part was I managed to catch Russ Swift in action with all his stunts! Eye opening experience!

Anyway after the stunts ended, I found a $10 note on the floor and this means my ticket is free whahaha~

Some motorgirls with the cars.

Like the first car, so cute! It's 'Sukiyaki' by Suzuki Swift from Japan.

Is this sushi or cake?

2006-11-12T23:57:00.000+08:00

Is this sushi or cakes?

Saw this article on the papers and decided to go to its website to check it out. This is dam creative and interesting and can be found at a bakery in Singapore! At first glance, the sushi platter looks like any other fake food at some japanese restaurants but this is actually not! It's a 3D birthday cake made of fresh cream and coloured jelly. Cool eh?

Not only this, there are other designs ranging from sushi, udon sets, western food, steamboat, mahjong sets and dim sum - my favourite small dragon bun a.k.a 'xiao long bao'! Wondering if these cakes taste nice anot.

Remember those days?

2006-11-05T17:50:00.000+08:00

Was browsing thru my friend's blog & saw this which brought back some childhood memories.

Remember those days where...

1. You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfs too.

2. You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.The teachers said you must brush each side 10 times too.

3. You know what SBC stands for.

4. You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.

5. You watch a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.

6. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.

7. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets forTIBS buses.The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.

8. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.

9. You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

13. You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.

14. You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang (50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changes every week not forgetting the 15 cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring.

15. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.

16. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.

17. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives.

18. The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.

19. Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.

20. Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.

25. Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too...

26. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.

27. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks

28. We carry out experiments of our own to get yourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.

29. Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.

30. In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.

31. We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.

32. Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.

33. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.

34. You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.

35. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.

36. There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.

37. Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.

38. You see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.

39. You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl

40. Boys like to catch fighting spiders.

My beloved youngest sister will be leaving for Chiang Mai for a service learning trip tomorrow morning. This is the first time she is flying without us and somemore for 10 days. Wonder will she be homesick but I doubt so haha!

Bon voyage! =)

P.S: Better get me something from there ah!

Exam stress

2006-10-24T23:39:00.000+08:00

Like what I've always mention whenever exams are nearing,

'If eating paper helps, I will definitely be the first to volunteer and eat up all my exam notes!' Arghh~!

People

2006-10-23T01:05:00.000+08:00

People come into our lives, and some leave.
For no reasons or having their own reasons
Whatever it is, I realized that I'll just walk away.

Some aren't worth it.

When we were young, friendships seems like everything. Back then, we treated our friends like our girlfriends/boyfriends. Every single thing matters, the person's thinking, lifestyle and passion must align to our own life. We were selfish with friends, the 'group' mattered so much.

Now that I'm older, I'm just too tired. I'll start to think if the certain friendship is worth it? I must admit now we see our friends changing, their thoughts and feelings have changed, and somehow we fail to understand to them.

I always think that friendships with people should be cheering you up, making you feel positive about yourself and they are the people who makes the day brighter and more beautiful. However when that fails, I think to myself, should I confront the person? Should I bother to talk to her/him about how negative she/he has become ; towards me, our friendship? Sometimes it's just a no, I'll just walk away. No reasons, no explanations. I'm just tired. I still have other things to be concern about. Sometimes the unnecessary negative stress is totally not worth it. Even if that particular 'friend' is going to brainwash other friends with even more negative talk and it might just affect the whole situation around us. But so what?

Those who are your real friends, they are the ones who will stay by you no matter what. As long as you're sincere, honest and not those who give empty promises, you will definitely be my friend. If not, just forget it and GET A LIFE!

Come to think of it, I think I'm quite fortunate, those real and true friendships that I have put my effort and love into; has grown and worked out. Those who disappoint me, I just walk away.

Life's what intriguing

2006-10-19T00:23:00.000+08:00

I have always felt that all human beings are fascinating, only some are more interesting than others. Everyone has their own life story to tell of, footsteps they leave in different corners of the world. Life stories - interesting ones, disheartening ones. What they have been through, the people they have met along the way and the various paths they have choosen for themselves, made them who they are today.

Don't you find it interesting as well?

Where is the Moon?

2006-10-07T10:35:00.000+08:00

Where is the Moon?

Usually on the fifteen of the lunar month eight of the lunar calendar the moon will be very round and clear. It's mid-autumn festival but I can't even see the moon clearly all because of the irritating haze which made the whole sky so hazy!

As for today, the moment I woke up, the PSI index has risen to an unhealthy range of 130! To think we were still talking about the haze hitting over 100 last night. I think soon everyone will be seen on the streets wearing masks.

Story of a girl & beef noodle

2006-10-04T00:07:00.000+08:00

Adapted from Sasa's blog, however this is only then the most accurate version of the story!

Story of a girl and beef noodles

Once upon time, there lives a girl who likes to eat beef noodles for her snack time. Every time she went to this particular food court she will always order the same thing and never get sick of it.

One day while waiting for her friends, she decided to order her favorite "snack" again. While queuing up, the gentleman in front of her spilt the chili sauce on his pants and she is very kind to help that gentleman out by offering a new saucer and a wet cloth. ~~(Bet she was laughing at him)~~ The girl NEVER did such an evil thing!!

When she finally got her food and was ready to go back to her seat, her wallet dropped into the bowl of soup! Ops! There go her beef noodles and her wallet!Now all her cards and money smell of the beef noodles and she still doesn't want to change her wallet! (Yak! So disgusting! =P) Though she never change her wallet, she did wash everything with soap and dry them under the sun so no more beef noodles smell already k!

"My wallet dunno what my hands is doing", this is what she told me. *Of coz ur wallet dunno what your hands are doing la! *eyes rolling* Dunno what's up with her to come up such a sentence haha!!

great night

2006-10-01T12:15:00.000+08:00

Finally after so long, the 4 of us met up again! This time we went for the Nokia Starlight Cinema and caught the movie Just Like Heaven. This ongoing event was held at padang, where they had a giant screen at the open field for the movie to be screen. Great time spent together and also an enjoyable night! =)

Game of Life

2006-09-27T13:06:00.000+08:00

Everybody has options. It seems that sometimes we may try to impose our values and thinking on someone else. Is it good this way? Perhaps all the advice given, all the talk, all the instructions that's available in books, on tv, coming out of our mouths are all useless. Because most of the time, people just end up following their hearts and doing what they feel. It seems that it's always the battle of the mind & heart. One may question or ponder when does it become dangerous? Does it become a danger when you know that you're hurting somebody? Or worst still, you may end up hurting yourself.

I guess everything in life will bring us certain risks. Risks may be small or may be huge and sometimes it's really scary. All sort of habits are hard to break too. When you're so used to something, so used to it ; it becomes a habit. It's hard to pull yourself away. Human beings; men & women have two problems, they can't seem to (1) Start something (2) And, when they start, they find it hard to stop.

Mistakes will always happen. Sometimes you can see if something will bring you rainbows or bring you stormy weather & rain but you still go ahead with it knowing that the outcome might be bad. I just hate the feeling of not being in control, it really sucks. But I know that I'm responsible for my thoughts and actions, I'm actually in control of my heart (to a certain extent) it's just a matter of playing it out, chilling and thinking if it's really worth it.

coffee shop blackout?

2006-09-25T23:53:00.000+08:00

How does it feel like when you are eating and suddenly the coffeeshop had a blackout?

why do we deserve this?

2006-09-20T00:22:00.000+08:00

Why do we deserve this?

This time round is a group project and we are supposed to distribute our workload. The problem is we are stucked and to make things worst, one of my groupmate is in overseas settling some problems which we do not even have a clue to it. Initially I thought at least this person had some conscience and initiative to head start the project since the person will be away during this period. Things like " for the interest of the group", "dun worry, will definitely do on time" etc were mentioned but did you uphold your words?? Please la, no action talk only who dunno? To think we still gave you the benefit of doubt and trusted you, now leave us with all these shit. I also can say everything until very nice and eventually not do anything.

If u happen to read this or by any chance come across this post, U can forget about me apologising. U better give me a good explaination and get your ass down to serious work. I do not care where u are, if I do not receieve anything from u. U know the consequences.

Yes i'm frustrated. Project deadlines. It's frustrating how project deadlines are drawing near and you do not even know where to start . Someone will probably say, "you'll get used to it!" That's like so not helpful at all. Spare me the annoyance plz.

Saw this from an email...

When u r together with that special someone, u pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, u might look around to find them. At that moment, u r in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes u laugh, your eyes & attention might go only to that special someone. Then, u r in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to have called u long back, to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet. You are desperately waiting for the call! At that moment, u r in love.

If u r much more excited for one short e-mail from that special someone than other many long e-mails, u r in love.

When u get a couple of free movie tickets, u would not hesitate to think of that special someone. Then, u r in love. U keep telling yourself, "that special someone is just a friend", but u realize that u can not avoid that person's special attraction. At that moment, u r in love.

While u are reading this, if someone appears in your mind, then u are in love.

National Day

2006-08-09T23:48:00.000+08:00

Happy 41st Birthday Singapore!

This year's national day celebration marks the last one being held at the current national stadium as it's gonna be reconstructed. Memories just came flashing back from a girl guide marching in 2001 and being a participant in 2004. It's really not easy cuz trainings starts way before august but our hardwork definitely paid off! Everything just changes so fast, it's kind of scary how time slips away so quickly. Sometimes it juz flashes past you, when you're barely done soaking up the memories.

Anyways, a picture which I took was being featured in the straits times national day supplement. Though its just a small pic but at least it's at the top hehe!

orientation

2006-07-29T23:45:00.000+08:00

Earlier this morning, I went to botanic gardens for my graduation cum picnic session with the nrpsd girls. Played treasure hunt so got a chance to walk around the newly renovated gardens. The swan lake was beautiful but unsure where all the swans hide to cuz only managed to spot a few. On the whole, it was a nice place to relax on a sat morning, nice weather & nice food prepared by rowena. =)

Swan Lake but where are the swans?

One spotted!
Wei Xia, me & Shu Min
Eemei, xueyun, layleng & me!

Headed to sch after that. Orientation was alright, just that the speaker was so naggy, reading every point from the handouts given to us. This kind of things we can read for ourselves isn't it? One more thing, every point he mention always has a story but the funny thing is there is no moral behind it.

2006-07-28T00:40:00.000+08:00

Especially for u

Its has always been my name or my pic appearing in your blog as though I am some big superstar. Well let me give a summary of who I am referring to.

This person:
- cannot pronounce 'crown' & 'clown' properly

Great Night!

Finally got to meet up with everyone of the girls to celebrate Emily's bdae on friday. We dined at the newly open New York New York at citylink mall. Food was delicious and their service was excellent, even the managers were very friendly! Will definitely go back again. Oh yes they also serve free candy floss and its a DIY thing. After that we headed to Table 108 at Chijmes to chill out.
