Long awaited gathering is here! :) Tons of food + catching up with one another! :) Best of all, we saw the old fashion train (tu-tu train?) ^_^!!!

Crying doesn't solve anything. It's true.


Maybe it's just the time of the month. I really hope so.

Whee!~

My first Teachers' Day gift!!! ^_^_^_^  Many thanks to Sabrina! It's very nice of her to give me this little bear. I especially love the flowers. It's super sweeeett!!! :) :) :)

Sometimes, when work is stacking up on you, datelines to meet, and tests just round the corner, it can be overwhelming to handle all at one go. At times like that, a little bit of care and concern definitely can cheer me up. But, is that enough? Or is that all I can get from you?

Seriously, I'm thinking through what I really want.

Final Destination 4 - HORROR!!!!

Yup, it's 1.50am in the morning and here I am blogging. Guess what? I just can't make myself go sleep because I'm all alone in the room after watching "The Final Destination 4" and I'm scared shitless. Pardon my language, but I'm REALLY scared! :'(

If you have not watch this latest movie, I suggest you to think TWICE before buying the ticket. It's just too "gory" for me. Ohh for those who don't know the meaning of "gory", it means covered or stained with blood (1st time to come across this word). Wow, right from the start of the movie, blood, brain, broken arms, etc are what you will see. Ok, I know I shouldn't say much (in case you guys plan to watch), but then one word of caution, BE PREPARED! I practically hug my bag throughout the whole show and just focus my eyes on the edge of the screen with my face covered by my hands. And my friend here actually sit almost to the edge of the seat as though he's enjoying an action show. *OMG!*

I supposed if you guys watched all the previous FD, you will know that none of the characters survive in the end. So it only means one thing, you CAN'T cheat death. If it's your time to go, just let it go. But instead of worrying when is the "TIME" coming, how about enjoying every minute of your life to the fullest? :) :) :)

Start by NOT taking things for granted and treasure every sweet moment with your family and loved ones. :) :) :)

*Shouldn't have suggested watching this show in the first place =.=||*

Just a random post to share some photos!!!~ August seems to be a good month cause I attended 1 wedding and 1 wedding solemnization!~ Whee!~ :) :) :) May all the newly-wedded couples stay happy forever!~

Mummy + Me (I think she act cute lorh...=.=")

Whole Family!~ :) :) :)

Such a disappointment :(

Just completed the Singapore Bay Run 2009 and I must say it was quite a disappointment. It was way worse than what I had hope for and seriously, I think that they should improve on it, if not next year, maybe all you can see are just army guys (who had no choice =.=| ) running only.

Flag off time for 10kM Women Open supposed to be at 7.15am, but dragged all the way till 7.30am before they let us up the staircases onto the Esplanade Bridge. It was super stuffy below with so many people squeezing that small space, waiting for their turn to go up the staircase. Some of the guys were not able to go up because of the limited space and they missed their flag off. By the time I crossed the Starting Point, it was already 7.40am.

Along the way, quite a nice scenery, cause the morning sunlight was really great on some of the office buildings. I jog slowly for the first part enjoying the sight and relaxing since I'm running alone. Jingyuan and Han had started before me so I had to chase after them (which I have no intention of doing! ^_^!!!).

Honestly, nowadays, "aunties" (around 45-50 years old) can run super fast. I was following the pace of this "auntie" and at the 5kM point, I really cannot "tahan" liao but she was still going strong!~ I feel kind of guilty because I'm much younger than her but still cant run better than her lorh >.<"" /sign!~

Ended the run at around 8.50am. But I only managed to get my bag at 9.20am. This is the worst part of the whole event. Those army personnels messed up all our bags and couldn't find them when we came to collect them. It was super messy and people just shouted out their numbers and ignored the rest. I scolded one of the officers because he isn't doing a good job in organizing his people and the runners which leds to super big mess. Totally sux! =.=|||

I wasn't planning to go back next year!~ This shall be my first and last Singapore Bay Run!

I just found out something new from playing Farmville in FaceBook. And I didn't know it for the past 22 years.

That is brown cow gives chocolate milk instead of milk (giggles!). Don't believe me? Here's the proof~~~

So, now you guys know that different color cows give different flavors milk. So the next time you feel like drinking banana milk, buy a yellow cow!~ :) :) :)

Cheers!!! :) :) :)

Freshmen Welcome Ceremony 2009

:) I attended my 2nd Freshmen Welcome Ceremony and once again I wore the undergraduates grown. This time round, I manage to find a seat with a "S" size grown instead of "XL" which is the one that I worn the first time...super long and you can't even see my legs =.=||

I, especially like the Light Up Ceremony because the view is really nice from the top. Like what the Emcees says, to create a magical sea of light. Indeed, you saw a magical view as the lights slowly lit up row by row :) :) :)

I know you guys must be wondering why I attended the ceremony when I'm already in my 4th year (LOL!). Well, honestly, I'm not there for the goodies bag though it's very attractive (30% true) but to support a friend of mine who's performing solo singing a song that I don't understand (HAHA!).

Of course, I get to enjoy the lunch buffet with lots of kiddy junk food like popcorn, candy floss and ice-cream! :) :) :)

These photos came a bit too late cause they were taken during the rehearsals before the actual performance :) Heex!~~~Anytime, anywhere, anyone, just snap a shot because we're always ready! ^_^!!!

2 "fake freshies" sitting among all the real freshies >.<" But then I think I looked young enough to be a freshie /giggles! :) Super nice atmosphere with all the balloons hanging all around. There are many freshies "kopping" the balloons after their lunch...>.<"" Fake freshies + performer :) :) :) With lots of junk food on our hands LOL!

He can really sing well :) Hahaha!~

Must be wondering what's inside right??? heex!~~

2GB thumbdrive!!!~~ :) :) :)

Heex! Now I have enough space for all my documents + pictures + movies + songs....

CoE Freshmen Orientation 2009

The long awaited day have came!~ Finally after many meetings and rehearsals, it's time to perform on stage for everyone! *wheee!* This year was just as fun as last year and I managed to attend all the meetings so that I wont miss out on any updates! Heex! I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and also to gain a bit of experience on how to write scripts (though I didn't write much!).

Many thanks to those who helped out in one way or another to make it a successful performance! Especially Lee Hong (the staff in-charge of us) for putting up with all our nonsense and tolerating us for always being late for rehearsals! Without your support and help, we would not have been able to perform well! :) :) :)

Not to forget, the 2 emcees who helped to click our slides so that the audience will be able to understand better on what the whole skit is all about! :) Thank You!

Last but not least, to each and everyone acting inside. Because of YOU, I have enjoyed myself a lot and bring back lots of memories! Even though the skit is over, our friendships will always last! :) :) :)

THANK YOU!!!

MSE performers!~ All geared up for the big show time! ^_^!!!

I super love this photo, everyone smiling happily and excited! /Cheers!!! :) :) :)

Even though MSE is not the biggest engineering school in the whole of the College of Engineering, we've the most number of students performing. It makes us unite as one and hopefully in future, more students will participate in this annual event! :)

Smiles! Laughter! FUN!!! :) :) :)

Picture says a thousand words! :) All smiles and laughter is how spent the day in Nanyang Auditorium! :) :) :)

Hopefully next year before I leave NTU, I get to have one more chance to perform on stage! :)

Time management is important now!!!

Angels and Demons

I'm suddenly hooked onto this book! ^_^!!! Haha!~ Bought it during my KL trip but didnt managed to read much until recently and I'm totally hooked onto it! The first part might be a bit of boring, but once u reached the climax, wow! you will hold on to it and not let go! ^^

It makes me want to go read up on those Italian artists' works just to understand more on what each painting means. But then, I've never been in history work so I think it's kind of hard to get myself started! *giggles!* :)

Anyway, I'm gonna get the movie soon to see whether there's any difference in storyline between both the book and the movie. *Whee!* Hopefully there isn't much difference! :) :) :) And there's Tom Hanks in it, so it's definitely a plus plus! ^_^!!! And I heard that the main female lead, Ayelet Zurer is super beautiful! :)

You guys should try out this book! ^_^!!!

Yeah!~ :) :) :) I passed my Final theory test, so now I cant just concentrate on my practical lessons! ^_^!!! Don't think I'll be taking my practical test anytime soon though, heex!~

Thanks for all the luck!~ ^_^!!!

**Especially yours!** :)

I need a lot of luck today! So just wish me luck and I'll tell you guys the good news (HOPEFULLY!) later, ok? :) :) :)

2 days after camp and I'm still shag!~ But it's all worth it because I enjoyed myself and also get to spend some quality time with my uni dearies! :) :) :) It's great sharing a room with them and squeezing ourselves on the bed, taking turns showering and waking up seeing each others' blur blur look. Getting to know new friends along the way makes the camp all the more meaningful!~

Though it's a 5 days 4 nights camp, I felt that I slept more than any camps that I have been. Maybe I'm joining this camp as a programmer instead of a participant that's why I get to have more time to sleep :)

Picture says a thousand words. Enjoyed!~

5 girls changing into the Programmers shirt in a handicapped toilet o.O

In order to save time, we decided to change together in one toilet so we chose the handicapped toilet because it's bigger :) :) :) *giggles!*

Amazing Race around NTU, different stations masters

I was appointed the Runner for the OG "Todaro" and get to run around the school with them on a Amazing Race. These are the stations that they are supposed to complete a task!~

Lots of 自拍 pictures!~

Uni dearies are the BEST!~ Try a lot of times to get everyone into the pictures, some successful some failed *Lol!*

Surprise Birthday Cake from the uni dearies!~

I was totally taken off guard by them! :) :) :) Sweet 22nd Birthday because of them! *Thank YoU!*

Clubbing Night @ The Arena Clarke Quay

Don't you think they look beautiful and handsome? :) :) :)

**A simple word from you brighten up my day to the fullest!~**

Camp camp camp!!!

In a few hours time, I'll be away for the long awaited Freshmen Orientation Camp! :) :) :) Quite excited (even though I'm not the freshie)!~ ^_^!!! Busy (still am) packing my super duper big bag, seems like I have lots to bring but just can't fit into my bag...opps..

Anyway, I'll be away for a week so....meanwhile, miss me ok? :) :) :)

2nd KL Trip Part 3 - Food & Shopping! :) :) :)

Guess what? This entry's gonna be on FOOD!~ :) :) :) Isn't food everyone's favorite? *Yum YUM!* Actually, there wasn't much on the food, because all the food there are great! Cheap and NICE! :) :) :) Have been busy eating, so limited pictures *heeX!*

Express Teppanyaki @ Pavilion KL

After checking in, we're all quite hungry, so hurried to Pavilion to have our so-called lunch. We had their Teppanyaki food. Very simple meal consisting of lots of veggies (as you can see) and one main course. I wouldn't recommended this for non-veggie eater as the green stuff portion is super big (LOLx!). One person costs around RM15-20.

Express Teppanyaki is located in Pavilion KL level B1 Food Republic.

Manhattan Fish Market @ KLCC Suria

I decided to go there to look for Kinokuniya Bookstore (Get bored at night, so need a book to keep me entertained!) and happened to pass by Manhattan. So in we go, sat down and decide to eat the Seafood Patter for 2! I just loved the chispy fish, but someone else prefer the cheesy prawns. The seafood were fresh and hot. But I feel that the calamari rings are not as delicious as what I had in Singapore. Abit too rubbery for me >.<" The butter rice is so-so because I didnt managed to taste the so-called butter rice. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the meal and left with a full stomach! :) :) :) *Fully-charged to shop till dead!*

Just some random pics on the food eaten, I can assure you guys that I definitely eat more than all this! *giggles!* One of the more famous food street in KL is Jalan Alor (just in front of our hotel, 3 minutes walk away). This is a must-go place when in KL because it's all road-side food like grilled string rays (the chilli that comes with it can get easily HOOKED!), BBQ chicken wings, fried oysters. De-li-cioooooooouss!~

Shopping in KL is good if you're there during their Mega Malaysia Sales. Unfortunately, I didnt managed to buy anything (sales only start on the day I'm leaving, *urgh!*). But I managed to get some new clothes and a new tie for my dad! ^_^!! I think it's cool and will look great on him! *wahahahaha!*

Night view of the Twin towers with Suria KLCC! :) Tall and shiny up in the sky! *Beautiful!*

**Did I mention that Suria KLCC is just below the Twin Towers?**

Trying to fit myself into the picture with Twin towers + Suria KLCC. ^_^!!!

While walking back to our hotel, saw this superby view of the towers with the bridge connecting them together with Mandrian Oriental (Besides Marina Square in Singapore) :) Pretty isn't it?

2nd KL Trip Part 2 - Radius International Hotel

Yes! I'm back with more stuff on my KL trip. :) :) :) This time it's gonna be on our stay at the hotel!

Radius International Hotel!!! :) :) :)

As our trip is longer this time round, we decide to go for a cheaper rate hotel but the location is still somewhere near Bukit Bintang (we're more familiar with the map there). First on our list is Radius International Hotel! (From HolidayCity.com search engine) After reading through the reviews, I realised that the hotel looks good enough to stay and decide to book through their website.

We got their promotional package deal. For 1 night, we'll be charged for RM170 for a Superior room (twin bed) with the necessary facilities. Buffet breakfast and tax & service charge are also included in. This is considered cheaper than Royale Bintang as the last trip costs us RM218 per night.

On the day of check-in, we were told that the Superior rooms are already out and we're given the Premier Room (King size bed!!!) instead. Initially, we were quite excited because premier rooms are usually more expensive because of the better facilities and it's at a higher level of the hotel. But when we entered the room, it wasn't up to our expectations. The room is not different from a normal Superior room! We're kind of disappointed but lucky the room is clean and tidy and the view is GREAT!~~ :)

The super big bed shared by us! :) :) :)

It's so comfortable that I slept throughout the whole night (hugging my Mr Bean!) **Don't laugh at my sleeping face (I know I look like a pig ^@^)!!!**

View of the hotel from outside :)

The swimming pool (water's so inviting!!!) :)

View of the KL Tower (taller than the Twin Towers) from our Hotel room

View of the KL Tower from our Hotel room
All lights on and sparking in the night! :) *Beautiful!*

The breakfast at the hotel was ok (but personally I still prefer Royale Bintang's) because the variety was quite limited. Simple meal of eggs, puffs and Asian Delights (Nasi Lemak, Fried Rice) and western delights (pancakes, cereal).

Looking very sleepy! Drinking a cup of tea to wake myself up!~ :) :) :)

The location of the hotel is nearer to Pavilion KL and also the KLCC. Throughout the stay, we walked around KL instead of taking their public transport. It's all within walking distance and the weather wasn't that hot, so we decide to save on our transportation fee :) :) :)

Overall, the hotel services are good enough and I think the rates are cheap enough for a short getaway in KL.

2nd KL Trip Part 1 - Tiger Airways to KL!~

YesH! Finally the long awaited 2nd trip to KL, Malaysia! :) :) :) This time round, we decided to take flight down instead of taking the coach there.

We booked our tickets from Tiger Airways because of their anniversary promotion. Return tickets including airport tax and services costs me SGD50. As compared to the coach services, this is definitely cheaper and you'll be able to reach your destination faster. :) :) :) And I haven't took any plane for a long time and missed the feeling of flying high up in the sky!~ ^_^~~~

I have no idea is the world getting smaller or just that the pilot took a shortcut. I reached KL in around 30 minutes from take-off which is (I mean) super fast. I remember the last time I went Japan and transit in KL, the trip took me around 45 minutes. The plane just leveled for 10 minutes and you will be able to hear the pilot's announcement "Cabin crew prepare for landing" and the air stewardess will hurry and push the trolley back.

Anyway, the flight is from Singapore Changi Airport Budget Terminal to KL International Airport (KLIA) Budget Terminal (LCC). Both Budget Terminals have duty-free shops once you passed the custom and you'll be able to shop for awhile while waiting for your flight. However, the shops are limited as compared to Singapore's T1, T2 and T3.

The bad thing about taking air transport to KL is that you've to travel all the way down to the airport (to and fr0) and this is quite troublesome if you're having a big baggage. You also have to include the transportation cost from the airport to the hotel when you reached KL.The cost of taking taxi from the LCC to our hotel is RM61.60 (that's around SGD25.45) and the whole journey takes around 1.5 hours (The airport is super far from the city!>.<"!) When you're going back to the airport, the taxi you take is different thus, the rate is also different. It will cost you RM70 if you're going to the KLIA, but RM75 if you're going to the LCC (Budget Terminal is further away). The difference in the rates is because the taxi you took from the city is not allowed to take any passengers from the airport back to the city. Passengers are only allowed to take cabs that are under the company registered with the airport.

So overall, the return trip (air tickets + cab fares) cost me around SGD78 which is still considered a bit cheaper than the coach services.

I just love the feeling of looking at the clouds and feeling the turbulence! :) :) :)

Hope you have enjoyed your 1st flight! *LOL!*

Back in Singapore :) *miss my bed!*

Just came back from my 4D3N KL trip! :) Lots to talk about but gotta need to catch my breath first because these 4 days quite hectic for me. Walked a lot instead of taking public transport (help save the earth and save some transportation fee too :) :) :) ) and didn't get much sleep at night too (kind of noisy from other rooms o.O).

Anyway, beware of H1N1 nowadays. It seems to be getting more serious now :( Wear a mask if you're feeling unwell. You'll get used to having your mouth and nose covered and you'll look kinda cute with the mask. Just like me!~ *heex!*

Come back for more on my KL trip!~
