Life

I think I have absolutely no life, yet too much life at the same time. If that makes any sense.

Finished watching half a season of Leverage and 1 whole season of 24 in 5 days. =.=

Look I even spotted an error!

A crew member was holding what looks like a camera. Can even see his elbow and knee. =.=


Went to JB the other day and got a pretty good deal. 30RM for 2 t-shirts! That's about S$6.30 each!

Body Shop at City Square was having a 70% sale so Kh and I got ourselves a 400ml Mango Shower Gel at S$10 each!!!

Diesel, B.U.M, and Union Bay jeans were also going at 70%-50% off.

And I had an embarrassing moment. Kh and I were at J.CO looking at the peeps behind the glass panel making donuts. Then I saw one guy throwing a donut at another guy.

Me: How can they throw the donut?! So wasted!
Kh: Shhh! Don't say so loud, they can hear you!
Me: *Looks up and realise that everyone inside is laughing at me*
Me: Ok let's get out of here.

This is what happens when you hang out with loud friends. Was calling MC on the phone the other day...

Me: Hey I need your address to fill in the referral part of my resume.
MC: OK! 17 J***** ********! Oops I said too loud. (talking really loudly)
Me: -_-"
MC: Now everyone knows where I stay. (still talking loudly)
Me: -_-""
MC: OK... now they are looking at me... !! (yup still loud)
Me: -_-""""


Went to Illuma for the first time the other day and trust me, you DO NOT wanna drive there. The carpark sucks!

(You know how Illuma means to give out light. How ironic cos some of the restaurants there had a blackout. =.= )

So anyways, we went to Xin Cafe to have dinner.

Ordered the Chef's Recommendation, Li Wan Porridge. English description says pork porridge but picture does not seem like it. Asked the waitress what is actually inside and she told me there is pork and "white strips". What the heck is "white strips"? Turned out that the "white strips" are actually FISH MAW which made up 70% of the ingredients. The "pork" was char siew cut into tiny bits. -_-"

The Xiao Long Baos were not bad though.

Kh and I concluded that Vivocity will remain as our favourite haunt.

Prison Break

No not Mas Selamat.. haha. Although I would say he is as smart, if not smarter than Michael Scofield.

Prison Break finally ended its 4th season a few days ago... Thank God for that. It should have ended in Season 2 but well, that's a few millions dollars worth of extra revenue. =/ I'm pleased to say that the series ended quite nicely although Season 4 was really a pain to watch.

I'm currently catching up on Leverage, crime show in Ocean's 11 style. Would say it's very interesting and refreshing to watch, after having endured 5 seasons of CSI, where it's just murders, murders and more murders in every episode. =.=

On a side note, I'll be having my first job interview tomorrow morning, and another one coming up on another day. Not exactly sure what to think of it. It's not a job that I really want, but like what everyone says,"Just grab anything you can find now." Oh well. We'll see how it goes.

Went to Jean Yip today to dye my hair back to chestnut brown for a more natural look. Then I went to Clementi Bright Studio to shoot my resume photo. Strongly recommend this place. Sis took her graduation photo at this studio too. It's a small studio run by 1 award-winning photographer and his photos are natural and not heavily photoshopped. Best of all, his prices are great. 4pc + 1cd for only $12. You can't get this anywhere else.

I was surprised by how fast it took. Less than 30 seconds to take the photo.. Just one shot, and it was perfect. Gerrie says I look like a property agent hahahaha... Immediate collection. Think I spent less than 5mins in that shop. o.O

Grad Trip (Part 1)

4D3N grad trip onboard SuperStar Virgo, Balcony Class, from 10th to 13th May to Penang and Phuket, with the babes and Kh. Not my first time, hence no surprises, but it was nevertheless quite enjoyable.

Lotsa cool and fun stuff happened, but it'll take me awhile more to process and upload the rest of the photos. So I guess I'll blog about this in parts. This post will mostly be about our first day onboard, and much of the time was spent exploring!

Clarence came to send us off. He would have come too if he didn't have to go for his internship.

On the way in...

Welcome drink for Balcony Class peeps! Champagne and fruit punch. Cheers!

The corridor...

Yay our room!

This time they have cable TV!

The newly built water slide. It is the fastest water slide I've have been on! I even screamed haha.

The Mediterranean Terrace (buffet restaurant)

Cakes, cakes and more cakes!

Love the gym

The Aquaswim pools

The Library

The Library

The Mahjong Room

Galaxy of the Stars (nightclub)

To the Captain's Bridge!

Star Aries and Harbourfront as seen from our balcony

We are such nerds! Coincidentally, all of us brought our own books to read!

Although, in the end, we didn't really have the time to read them.

Nerds unite!

Dinner at Bella Vista Restaurant

Yes these are all free

French Toast

Salmon, scallops, squid and butter rice

Mashed potato with beef steak

Assorted cheese and crackers

Lime Sorbet

Vienne Mousse with Raspberry sauce

Jf says the alcohol onboard is really cheap! So we ordered drinks every night. Spent about $80 worth of dining credits in our whole trip! That's about 12-13 drinks I think?

Ordered these from our balcony seats during the live performance at the Lido theatre

Long Island, mocktails of the day (grapefruit based, yumyum), and cocktail of the day (hated it)

The casino

Post-exams

My last paper finally ended 2 days ago, but still there's this feeling of emptiness within me. The last paper was really quite difficult. Managed to finish the whole paper but still you just don't know how much of the scribbling is going to be converted to marks. Going to hunt for a job soon after I get back from my holiday.

Went to Lot 1 after the exam with the gang. It was really my first time taking an LRT and seeing how an LRT station looks like. I'm like so sua ku. Tingwei was like,"Even the 2 foreigners (as in Xy and William) take before!" ...

I was really amazed by what I saw. In all honesty, I've never seen this side of Singapore before. 360 degrees worth of housing blocks... What an eye-opener! And getting on the LRT was really like going onto a monorail ride. The LRT station was called Pending (lol), and the windows would turn opaque when it comes close to the housing blocks!

Unfortunately, no exams and school doesn't mean I'll be getting less busy.

The next day I had to get up at 7.30am because our board game maranthon with J&J starts at 9am. Zz...

First game of the day... Caylus. Quite an advanced strategy game. What a way to start the day (hey that rhymes). I was still half asleep... Zz

Yay! I won this game!

Next up: Our long-time favourite, Puerto Rico. Again another advanced level strategy game.

Unfortunately, I made a few wrong moves. Came up dead last. Lol. Julie won this round and that's like a breakthrough because Julie never wins in this game!

Julie: My goal today is to beat Gordon and I did it!

hehehe... somebody ought to break that streak ^__^

Next up, few rounds of Bridge and Dai Dee, followed by lunch and Container.

Of all the times we play this, 100% of the time I win in this game. Unfortunately, the game was not going well for me and I knew something was wrong. Turned out that we played the wrong rules. -_-" Too long never play liao, forgotten some stuff. So we quit the game.

Next up, another round of Caylus! And I won again! Hehe. Almost overtook Jack by 1 lap (as in, 100 points). Lols.

Kh was not feeling too happy. "Today is girls' day." Lol.

Off to pack my bag!

6th Anniversary & Rachel's Party

Long delayed posts... lol..


1st May 2009

Happy 6th Anniversary to us on 1st May 2009!

This year we really cut back on our expenditure a lot. Was asking Kh why 5th year more grand than 6th year. He was like,"5 years is a milestone, 6 years is for fun. 10 years I will bring you overseas for a holiday." !!! Rocks.

Initially planned to go to Hog's Breath for lunch followed by Wolverine movie at GV Gold Class... But after contemplating awhile, we decided to save money and just have simple lunch and movie. Unfortunately Kh was extremely hungry that day (as usual), so he suggested Carnivore. I remember saying I wasn't going to go to another Brazilian Churrascaria again for months after our Vday dinner at 6th Avenue. After losing 2 coin tosses, I soon found myself back at Carnivore.

Thank God we didn't book the Wolverine tix at Gold Class. The movie was really quite boring. I would have fallen asleep in the Gold Class comfy recliner.

So anyways we went to check out the National Geographic store at level 1, Vivocity. It was like a musuem in there. So totally cool. It makes me wanna subscribe to NG all over again. Lol. Well, check out their cooler room. It can reach up to -15 degrees celcius. You have to pay a dollar to get in there.

2nd May 2009

Went to Rachel's 1-month old party! Finally I get to see her awake... but she fell asleep again after 30mins or so. She's beginning to look more and more like Jeremy!

Yawnzzz...

hi there

I surrender!

Sleeping angel. =)

Wanna fight ah?

The buffet spread...

Dyed eggs

Stretch stretch!
