On a boring night.......

On a boring night, I have no one and nothing to do, so I made a call to my buddies and decided to have dinner together! But the next problem is where shall we have dinner? Hmmm..hmmm...hmmm...orchard here we go! Hahaha! I left home around 8pm to go orchard (my first time!!!) but met Karin to take the train down so I won't be so lonely. :) :) :)

Dinner was at Wisma Atria Food Republic Teppanyaki Express! For a set meal of main course + rice + soup, it cost about $8.50. The main course includes a meat + bean sprout + veggies. It's really nice, just a bit too spicy for me.>.<"" Hehehe!

Next, we went on to Cine-leisure to find a movie to watch. All the shows are "selling fast" so we can only get "good" seats for Sherlock Holmes at 12.20am. Since it was still early, we went to find a cafe to "nua" to pass the time.

We settled for Coffee Bean @ 313 Somerset! :) :) :)

 

 

We nua-ed till the waiter "chased" us away because they need to close shop. :) :) :) We walked back to Cine-leisure for our show, and surprisingly, it was crowded with people. Nowadays, I wondered whether Singaporeans (especially Youth!) sleep at night or in the morning?....

Finished the show at 3am and waited for the Night-rider home! :) :) :)

I'm admitting I'm OLD! Can't even keep my eyes open when I reached home. :( 

:) :) :) Wednesday met up with secondary buddies for a day of gaming! We decided to try out the Safra Game Haven @ Clarke Quay. It's December now, thus lots of kids are out playing LAN games, so we have to find a place that won't be so crowded to accommodate us (quite a big group!).

Made the booking and went back to The Central to have lunch @ Manhattan Fish Market.

Our Lunch for the DAY! :) :) :)

 

 Yummy food = Happy US! ^_^!!!

Right after lunch, we went on to Game Haven to play! :) :) :) Quite a nice place, though the price is a bit more as compared to The Big O. But the one good thing is less crowded! The computers there not too bad, but when we are playing, it becomes laggy. Ohh, another thing they should improve on it to stop making the computer so automatic. In another words, if we played for 2 hours, at exactly 2 hours the computer will auto log out which is very frustrating when you are half way through a map. >.<""" Not a bad experience there and might consider going back there. :) :) :)  *No photos from Game Haven :( *

Walking around Clarke Quay, and a quick snap shot! :) :) :)

After 5 hours (or so) of games, we are still full from the lunch so we decided to have a drink at Clarke Quay. So many pubs and hard to make a decision and so we just popped down at Clinic. The drinks were good but a little better service from the waitress will make the experience much better.

 

:) :) :) Great Night and we should do this more often! hahaha!~~~~

Merry Christmas!!!

Hee! It's the end of the year and also one of my favorite part because it's CHRISTMAS!It's the time for us to share the joy and happiness and not to forget, PRESENTS! :) :) :)

May everyone has an enjoyable Christmas. You guys deserved a little time off for a long year! :)To all my friends out there, Have a wonderful year ahead of you! For my Uni dearies, all the best to your exams results ( I know you guys can do GREAT!)

A favorite song of mine...ENJOY! (Definitely will cheer you up!) ^_^!!!

Tepas Tree @ Changi Village!

Remember I won some vouchers from Class 95 Love Songs a few months ago? Hehe! It's the $150 worth of Tepas Tree vouchers plus a complimentary bottle of red wine. :) Finally, I have the time (and chance) to make full use of these vouchers! *WHEE!*

There are 3 Tepas Tree branches in Singapore, and after looking through the reviews, we decided to go and try out the Changi Village branch. We reached there a bit late and it was already quite crowded. The worse thing is there was only 2 waitresses and 1 chef. So you can imagine how long we waited to be seated and being served our first dish.

So while waiting, we talked crap and drank our wine (on empty stomach) to pass the time.

Soon after that, our dishes are being served! :) :) :) I would say the portions is big enough, but because we were so hungry waiting for our food, we gobble them up in record time, BUT not without snapping some shots first. *heex!*

 

My favorite of all these side dishes is the Meatball in Tomato sauce (I ordered that, ok?)!!! HAHAHA! The sauce is thick and sourish with a tint of sweetness. Super appetizing and somehow it helps to settle my stomach a bit because of the wine.

The main course arrive, the Seafood Paella, which consists of white rice, green vegetables and combination of meat (chicken and pork) and of course Seafood! :) :) :) I would say this is a "everything-all-mixed-together" rice cooked in a pan. /giggles. But the taste is there and we managed to finish the WHOLE pan! 

Of course, we mustn't forgot about the desserts.

 

I can't remember the name of this dish though. It's just dipped the ring into the chocolate and eat it. I didn't quite like it because the ring thingy tends to get struck inside my teeth whenever I bite it (it's quite sticky) but the chocolate is nice. So I just keep on licking on the chocolate instead of eating the whole dessert. :) :) :) 

After an hour plus of food, we finally surrendered! Our stomach is bloated and we called for our bill. Surprisingly, we didn't exceed the $150 limit and we decided to give it a pass (can't take in anymore food!). We left with a smile on the face and a super duper big stomach. :) :) :)

Since we're soooo full, we went to the beach for a walk to digest a bit and also to look around for some "pretty girls" (whether they're really girls, we can't be 100% sure). Quite a sight because these "girls" are really pretty and good FIGURE! hahahaha!

Enough of food and girls! ^_^!!!!~~

New Year's approaching and I just can't wait for 31st Dec to come so I can count down to a brand new year.

Honestly, I think 2009 is quite a short year, partly because the 1st half of the year is spent almost on another island. *giggles!* Doing my attachment at ICES at Jurong Island with lots of buddies! They just made me wanna go work everyday early in the morning! :) :) :)

The Big MSE Family! :) :) :) 

Smiles! :) :) :) They just make my day happier! 

One word to describe this picture: Happy! (NTU + NUS friends!)

2nd part of the year is back to old times: SCHOOL! :) :) :) I took some time to get use to the studying hours, attending lectures + tutorials. FYP (unfortunately) didn't take  up much of my time, but I spent most of the time doing lots of random stuff (which I can't remember, LOL!)

Then, comes the EXAMS! And, as usual, during the exam study week you got to wake up super early and zoom down to the library for a seat and it's like you reached home at 12 midnight the day before. Super tiring but no choice (last year, must CHIONG ah). :) :) :)

Even though busy, there's still time for all these:

Chinese New Year Gathering @ Cedric's House :)

Cindy's Birthday Surprise! :) :) :) 

Break after "never-ending" quizzes! :) :) :)

Super summarize post for a year of FUN. Though there are tears, it's all worth it because I always believe in no pain no gain. HOHOHO! :) :) :) But from now on, I'll treasure my friends and those around me MORE! You've my words! :) :) :) 

Now I can understand the feeling of sending someone off. All you can see is only the back view. It makes me very emotional, because you never know when you are going to see that person again. I always say time passes like nobody's business, that's only true when you wanted time to stop. But when you wanted time to zoom by, it never listens to you, it will take it's own sweet time and slowly second by second move by. I'm just asking for 4 days, is that a lot to ask for? :( :( :(

Anyway, when you're feeling down, the best place to go is places where your friends are. :) :) :)

Have dinner with Sarah + Han + Famin @ Ichiban Sushi (my favourite Japanese restaurant!!!) Plaza Singapura. After dinner is dessert at Ice Monster and finally we went down to "Big O" to kick some zombies' asses! Honestly, it helps to take my mind off the long long 4 days! We manage to finish the first map + 4 stages of the 2nd map before we surrendered. It's quite tiring to stare at so many zombies and trying to evade them at the same time. Hahaha! But it was FUN!!! :) :) :) Travel around Singapore after that because Han sent Famin (YiShun) followed by Saran (Tampines) and finally ME!!! 

Tori Maru Cheese Chicken (My all time favorite!) Yummy!!!

Han: Beef with Tofu + Egg (delicious!!!)

Sarah + Me!!! :) :) :)

Long night and hopefully I can have a dream that can make me wake up smiling happily. :) :) :) 

*4 more days!*

Exams are OVER! *WHEEE!*

:) :) :) Great news is that exams are finally over, and I'm left with 3 more papers before I leave NTU. ^_^!!! That's sound great, but at the same time, I felt a bit too fast to graduate from school. It seems that time passes like nobody's business, and soon I need to start working and earning my own money.

Anyway, since I had finished my papers, I decided to have some fun, but the weather didnt permit and I had to cancel my Southern Ridges trip and instead went to do some shopping at Vivocity. :) Happen to get a free cup of Mocha Frappe at Starbucks! YUMMY!!!

Long queue, but the service is quite fast, it didn't take more than 15 minutes for them to serve my drink!! :) :) :) 

I just love Starbucks' Mocha Frappe :) :) :) 

Dinner was at the Outram Park Ya Hua Bak Ku Teh @ Telok Blangah (somewhere near Keppel Road).

Nice, and affordable!~ :) :) :)

Next was L4D 2 (Left 4 Dead 2) at Big O! One word to describe: "SHIOK!" It's been a few months since my last game of L4D (I think right after my IA ends) so I took some time to warm-up and kill some zombies asses! *HAHA!* I think this 2nd edition is a bit hard compared to the first, cause we took about 2.5 hours to clear one map (maybe it's because the map is new to us, so not that familiar)?

You've been forewarned, dizziness cannot be avoided if you have not played a 3D game for a long time. :) Imagine lots of zombies surrounding you, and you have to turn all around just to kill them all. *_*

After that, it's Home sweet HOME!

P.S: Time to exercise to get rid of all the weight gain from EXAM Stress! :) :) :)

Bunny~!!!

:) I happened to chance upon this website on the different forecasts of zodiac signs for the Year 2010. Quite interesting, and since I'm a raddit (and most of my friends), this might be "informative" for you guys. :) :) :)

The Rabbit
Cuddly, warm and affectionate are the attributes of the Rabbit. Mysterious and a great party-giver and host, the Rabbit enjoys being the centre of attention once in a while. The Rabbit is occasionally over cautious and can be a bit boring. He is also one of the luckiest signs in the Chinese Astrology chart.

Forecast for 2010
The focus will be on the Rabbit’s career and job prospects during the Year of the Tiger, with unexpected promotions and recognition very likely. Travel is also highlighted, with short breaks and spontaneous, fun trips featuring during the late Spring and early Summer. Healthwise, the Rabbit could find the speed of the Tiger year exhausting and it’s important he balance work with rest and relaxation. Promotion at work or in the Rabbit’s career will be sure to feature and they need to act quickly – no hanging back to see what happens! Some Rabbits will be dissatisfied with their current living arrangements and the perfect new home may appear most unexpectedly – they must act quickly and not miss out! Friendships will play a big role during 2010 with possibly one or two friends needing extra care and help. May and October to January will bring special and fun social gatherings. February and March will be significant and fortunate for those looking to change jobs while July and August will be most auspicious for single Rabbits looking for love – an unexpected liaison could result from a work related social event.

Interesting Rabbit Facts:
Zodiac Stone: Pearl
Special Flower: Jonquil
Best Hours: 5-7 am
Season: Spring
Horoscope Colors: Grey, White
