Holiday's work....^_^

As you guys know, I'm having my long holidays (finally!!!) now. Yeah it's good but i'm kind of rotting at home now...so it's not doing me any good except wasting my time and watching tv...and eating + sleeping long hours...Well...yeah that's about what I've been doing for the past week.

But then, I did take up part-time jobs...like working as a Game Master in the Army Pride Day (which had been 2 months and our pay is not here yet!!!), welcome ambassador (it's just sound nicer than rover) in Sentosa.

The whole group of us working as Game Masters ^_^

As a game master in the Army Pride Day, I've to learn how to play some of the puzzle games created by ThinkFun and guide the kids and parents visiting the booth. It was a 3-day event and we've to work from 9am onwards. It wasnt a very tiring job but then we have to stand up because it's a roadshow and there isnt any chairs for us to sit. We know a number of army personnels (some even from the Air Force and Navy). We chit-chat abit and understand some of the stuff inside MINDEF (since I dont go army I learn quite alot from them).

My dinner at New York New York (*yuMMY*)

After the Pride, I went to be a Helper for the NTU Family at the Singapore Zoological Garden. It was a FUN day but the rain did spoiled some of the kids' mood. It's very wet and dirty!!! After the event ended, Jingyuan and me loitered around the Zoo and in the afternoon Cindy and Cedric joined us. We went for different animal shows and left the zoo around 6pm and went for dinner @ AMK's New York New York. I had the biggest chicken..haha and it's deLIC-ious...

Nothing much to show when working at sentosa (cause handphone is not allowed to use when on duty) so....what we do is pretty much just say hello to guests...wave to an incoming train (when nobody is looking at us =.=) and guide the guests to board the train. Basically that's what we do for 7 hours and you've to stand through. I took up the job because the timing is flexiable and it wont clash with my special term. :) Well, I dont think I'm going to continue once school starts. It's a very tiring job.

that's about it...^_^ /signing off

My 21st Birthday!!! (Part 2)

Heex! This entry is to continue with my 21st celebrations! WoW! I felt so fortunate to have so many friends that remember my birthday! Thanks a million!

The 2nd part of my celebrations was organized by dear and Alvin helped to reserve the tables at Orchard Sakura and got me a Champange Grape Birthday cake by Swissbake. I have to thank them both (ALOT!) because they called many of our secondary friends and poly friends who took time off specially (because my birthday falls on a weekday) to meet up and chit-chat and also send me well-wishes. ^_^

The whole thing supposed to start at 6 (reservation states that we're arriving from 6.00-6.30) but because I cant find the bakery (which is located in Takashimaya B2), by the time both tg and me arrived outside Sakura, it was already 6.40pm. We had 2 gorgeous ladies (Qianwen & Kaiyan) waiting for us for like 40 minutes >.< *s0rry!!!* We decide to procced in first while waiting for the rest to arrive. Hmm...we started to eat...because so much food there and it's VERY hard to resist! By 7, Karin, voonling, mun yeng, qiao xuan, kimsua & haoyu, jiasi, jasmine came. The last one to come was Alvin but it wasnt his fault because he had to sail that day and took a cab to rush down to join us (appreciate that! ^_^)

FOOD...FOOD...FOOD...

Once our stomachs are filled, we sang birthday song and make wishes and cut cake and take pictures..and and and...(routine stuff of a birthday party...) I guess just look at the pictures to see for yourself the fun we had! ^_^ We stayed until the Sakura boss rushed us out (it's already over their closing time) and loiter around Orchard for awhile deciding what to do next (since it's only 10pm and it's EARLY!). We consider going K-boxing, but it was too expensive for 1 person and after much thought....we went to Cineleisure to see whether there's any movies to watch.

*Q-ing for tickets for Red Cliff*

Finally our turn and it's only left with the first row *_* and yes we did buy the tickets (we've queued for so LONG!). Ohh YEAH, don't forget, we have to thank our 鄂州 Mr Wang Jiasi for paying with his UOB card for the 10 of us! Yes! He treated everyone with the movie treats!! (that's very sweet of him!) Initially, I thought he wanted a kiss from each ladies (3 guys + 7 ladies = 10 people) but...he's too shy...so....ladies we are in LUCK! HAHA!!!

The movie...well...it's very nice because I enjoyed it tremendously and I like the guy who acted 赵子龙 but everyone was like "HUH?!" because they felt that the 赵子龙 by Audy Lau is better. Well...I felt differently. Andy Lau is nice-looking but not in 古装 show (that's only my opinion :) ). For those who havent watch the show, it's going to have a PART 2 so 拭目以待吧！

By the time the movie ended, it's already going to be 2am. Luckily, we have Kaiyan's bf who send everyone home! *thanks thanks* It's a long day for everyone but WE HAD FUN! ^_^

My 21st birthday cake! ^_^ it's very delicious wor... ^_^

Me + Birthday cake = happiest girl *giggles*

dear + me ^_^ with my birthday cake...he's already aiming for it! HAHA!

With my lovely Bird Family! Love them all!!! :)

All my secondary friends + Mr Jiasi & Miss Haoyu (Poly) :) they're the best!

Chicken & Poo family! :)

My buddy since Secondary 1! We look quite alike right? hehe!!

Force dear dear to take another picture with me! ^_^

My current LIFE!

I just read through my post on Life in University and realised that it was really a hard time when I first started school. Thus, I decided to write a new post on my current life. ^_^

It's been a year (almost! To be exact! :D) since I have started schooling in NTU. Yeah, life wasnt easy because lots of core modules and PYP (for those who dont know, it means Past Year Papers) to complete. Results wasnt that good (or should I say it's BAD!), but I didnt manage to 打包 (means bring forward) any modules to the next semester. When school started, I made it a point to attend all lectures and tutorials so as not to miss any important information. Things started to go well...all modules were taught by really nice lecturers and I even took up Japanese class (wanted to take Korean instead but exam schedule will clash with my core :( so...).

When it's time to start revising for final exams, I have enough time (more than last semester) to finish our revision and I try to do summaries for every chapters for each modules. After every exam, though very tiring but at least abit more confident than what I felt the semester before. Results out...and it was much better...and I was like....whoa...finally...but then it means I have to work even harder to mantain or get even better results in the subsequent semesters.

Once I get use to the momentum, I think that life in Uni can be very fun and relaxing. When it's time to study, STUDY! When it's time to play, relax your mind and go enjoy yourself. I believe that time management is also very important~~!!!

Currently, I'm learning Korean at the Cambridge School of Language. I think that from now on, I have to pay attention to how I manage my time. I believe that I can do well in both school work and language school assignment! ^_^

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ looking forward to school re-opening! It's a brand new year ahead!!! *Fighting!*

My 21st Birthday!!! (Part 1)

Hehe!!! Just two words to describe: FUN & MEMORABLE!!! (^_^) Actually there was two different celebrations. One by my university friends (which come as a surprise!! haha) and the other was by secondary (also poly) gang! haha!!! A million thanks to these friends (you guys are a DEAR!!!) for giving me such a memorable birthday!

The first party was held on 10th July 2008. It was a thursday and the plan was to celebrate Cindy's Birthday (which was only the 7th, but she wasnt in Singapore). However, because it was weekday, some of us were working, thus we can only meet up for dinner instead. The rest that were not working, well (GUESS WHAT?), we decided to go to Sentosa to have some FUN first. The best part of the trip is that we save up to $27 per person and we can visit the attractions inside Sentosa (*thanks to Cindy* and also the ticketing Miss wati who gave us complimentary tickets). Not to forget, we really have a great time inside these attractions (HEY! it's my first time into these attractions, so if i behave a bit kaisu, please forgive! HAHA!). *though I have to keep worrying about Jingyuan who kept on touching switches and moving things around! ^_^* We spent almost the whole day inside Sentosa and laughter is all around us (some screams can be heard though, courtesy of Jingyuan + Cedric *_*)

This is a view taken at the top of Merlion. Dont be fool by the dim brightness, it was really SUNNY (as you can from my glasses). Courtesy of Qiaolin and her wonderful camera. ^_^

After the trip to Sentosa, we went to meet up with other friends at Plaza Singapura, Jieying and Su San (unfortunately, Meizhen and Serene have some last minute thing and cant make it). We went to have some GREAT food @ Manhattan Fish Market (if I didnt remember wrongly it's located at level 6). I wanted to try the seafood platter but due to my recent recovery from C.P, I decided to stick to Fish 'N' Chips and I enjoyed it tremendously! The portion was big and I couldnt finish it. Someday, I'll go back and try out their seafood platter!

I went to toilet with Cindy, and when I came back I realised that the whole table is cleared and I know something is wrong! *haha!!* There isnt a seat for me and I have to share the other side of the table with Cindy. That was the surprise that I have gotten from these uni friends! It was a celebration for both Cindy and ME! ^_^ We have a birthday song by everyone and also some of the crew members in the restaurant. The interesting part is to eat a wedge of lemon coated with salt and pepper! well, it wasnt that bad as I thought...Just very sour, very salty and very peppery. haha!!! I drank a whole cup of water after that! Next is the cutting cake ceremony...haha! It was very 温馨 and touching and I have a hard time to cut the cake so our Cedric did the honors and slowly and carefully cut each slide for everyone of us. The present that they have given me was so GREAT that I have 好好的用 already! hehe! It was "Hello" vouchers and I used it to buy my Samsung Soul! wahahaha!! Thanks alot!

**Hope Cindy's love her present to0!!!**

Well...that's part 1 of my 21st birthday celebration. *enjoy the pictures* ^_^

Cindy & me!!! Hehe!~ *Guess we're the birthday girls that day* ^_^ /giggles

Birthday girls + Birthday cake!!! *deli-ciouS!!!*

The whole gang of uni friends!! *Love you guys!*

Quite artistic right? Taken by Qia0lin! ^_^

Korean Drama: Heart of 19 a.k.a Pure 19

Recently I was busy watching this Korean drama series: Heart of 19. I saw it first on Channel U and honestly it was so funny that I decided to buy the whole series and watch during my holidays (yeah currently I'm on holidays!!! ^_^).

Brief introduction:

Cast:

Koo Hye Sun as Yang Gukhwa

Suh Ji Suk as Park Yunhu

Lee Min Woo as Hong Ugyeong (Not the member of Shinhwa :) )

Lee Yoon Ji as Park Yunjeong (Yunhu’s younger sister)

Synopsis:

Gukhwa is a young country girl who leaves Yanbian(China) for Korea to get married.. When she arrives in Seoul, she finds out that her fiance had just died in a car accident. Instead of returning to China, she decides to stay and create a new life in Korea. With the help of her fiance's family and in particular his nephew, Woo Kyung, she is able to overcome the hardship of living in a foreign country.......

This series is differnt from what I normally watched. It's 167 episodes long!! (Yeah I know it's VERY LONG *_*) But I only took 3 days to complete the whole series (haha!!). Actually each episodes is about half an hour only (Thus, if you watch on Channel U and switch to DVDs, you have to ignore the episodes # that u see on Channel U since on tv it's an hour long). Therefore, 167 episodes is about 83.5 hours long which if you watch for 24 hours straight, you will only need 3.5 days (heex!!!). The best thing about this show is that you never get tired of watching it. The whole series will keep you entertained!!! ^_^

I love the 4 main characters in the show. Each of them have their own style of acting which fits their profiles exactly. I was wondering whether these are their characteristics in real life (heex!!). If you guys have watched the show, do not be deceive by the looks and age. Koo Hye Sun, Suh Ji Suk and Lee Yoon Ji are still in their twenties. But Lee Min Woo is already in his thirties (CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!). Honestly, Koreans really can keep their skin in good hands! Maybe it's due to the 4 seasons there? I heard that winter in Korea is SUPER cold. Someday I'll go and experience it and tell you guys whether it's super cold, ya? haha!!!

I like the Park Yunhu character alot. I wouldnt say that because he is handsome (THOUGH HE REALLY IS HANDSOME!!) that makes me like him alot. I guess it's something about the character. You can see how cold he is towards people and by the end of the show become a totally different person. ^_^ The love that he gives is what I want in my real life (and I have gotten it from my dear dear! heex!!)

Both Koo Hye Sun & Suh Ji Suk make a good couple (in my opinion), unfortunately they wouldnt awarded the best couple award. :( Well, keep up the good work guys!!! ^_^

Ohh, one more thing, the characters in the show have won a number of awards during the KBS Award Ceremony 2006. You can visit http://www.kbs.co.kr/drama/2006award/index.html for the full list of the winners (though it's all in korean :(...). Or you can visit the official site for Heart of 19 at http://www.kbs.co.kr/drama/soonjung/index.html (unfortunately it's also in Korean). Just play around the site and look at some of the really nice pictures!!!

One last thing! They have lots of really nice song and music in the show. The main theme of the show is sang by Koo Hye Sun herself: Sarang ga. If you guys love the show you will also love the OST! ^_^

Hope you enjoy the show!!! ^_^
