The final goodbye to NTU :)

:) After 3 years of studies, finally I graduated from University. It was not a easy road for me (and many of you). But because of you, the days seem to brighten up. Although the road had came to an end, the memories would stay forever in our minds.

Say cheers to our next phase of life! :) :) :) I ♥ you guys lots!~

Lady luck on me? Or maybe it's a coincidence? ^_^!!!

:)))) 我的第一次啊!!!!

HAHAHA! And I wasn't the first one to know. Dad called many times to tell me the good news followed by JY. Heex! :) I was super duper happy when I heard the news that I wanted to do a star jump (but inside a car, a bit hard, =.=||)!!! 

Ohh in case you aren't too sure what I was referring. Here is it: 

^_^!!! My winning ticket! *YAY!*

The winning numbers are the birthdays of all my family members. ^_^!!! Super coincidence that I bought these numbers out of a sudden. Lucky JY called and asked whether I wanna buy (since he's helping his dad to buy too). *YAY!* But I totally forgot about his birthday, and it's part of the winning numbers. I would've scored 5 numbers! Sotong me!

But it's alrighty, till the next time then! I shall collect this winnings together with my World cup winnings (Yes! I haven't collect them yet! =.=||)!!! ^_^!!! *WHEE!*

Haven't got any idea whether is it illegal to post a picture of the lottery ticket, so just to play safe. Insert a "Specimen" in the picture! :)))))

Ohh, and in less than 5 hours is the Shape Run 2010 (and I'm still here lor-so-ing -.-"). HAHAHA! 45 minutes to complete the whole run is the target. If I didn't meet the target, I shall.........(no idea what I'll do, most probably no ice-cream?). ^_^!!! 

HAHAHA! Quite a nice number :) Might consider buying it! 

*Boss got teach me how to buy 4-D liao! HAHAHAHA*

Final step as a student

One more week to mark my final graduation in NTU! :) Quite excited though I know it's going to be a boring ceremony (Had attended one during poly days =.=||) The one thing I don't look forward is to wear the graduation gown. It's so long for me (even though it's the smallest size!) and I think I look too harry-potter-ish in it. =.=|| Nevertheless, I still have to wear it, and HOPEFULLY I don't trip myself when I'm on stage. I always have this idea that I will fall down during such critical time. *LOL!*

I'm still looking for my tortoise! I can't seem to find it, which is weird. I thought it's quite common. It's just like that, every time when you're looking for something, you just can't find it. If you guys happen to see it, drop me a message! :)))))

Welcome anyone who's interested to attend the convocation. However, I will only be able to attend to you after the ceremony. BUT, right after that it's photo-taking, so YES please come down if you guys are available! :)))

Just a side note, convocation also marks the last day of my boss in SSMC. :'( Definitely not something to look forward to. Just when I'm getting used to work life, he's leaving. The feeling is so 舍不得. He is definitely not the 凶 guy that I knew during my interview. 

:) Simple affair

:) Though Friday is the birthday day and I off work super late, but it was for a good cause. And the feeling of someone waiting for you outside patiently for you to finish work is indeed good. And he waited for more than half hour =.=| |  Super 不好意思!

He brought me to Paragon @ Orchard Dome to have our dinner. Our first time there. :) And we got the whole restaurant to ourselves. I mean inside, because outside the restaurant was packed with people and we had no choice to take the inside seats.  

They served a variety of food, ranging from salads & side dishes to pastas and pizza and sandwiches. :) Desserts is a must nowadays, so yes, they served that as well. Mostly cakes, which look so appealing in the display fridge. ^_^!!!

:))) While waiting for our food, we decided to try and play with my camera LOL! I was telling him about the sms that I received from my boss and how happy I was, and all the while he was just smiling at me. I wonder why. Till now I still don't know, HAHA! Maybe I'm just a too-simple girl with just simple-desires.

Our dinner! :) Simple but yummy. And of course the company counts (ALOT!) :))))

I was too full for the desserts, but he says a birthday girl should at least have a piece of birthday cake. :) So I had this sinful piece: Banana chocolate cake! YUMS! 5 mouthfuls, and the rest is in his stomach! ^_^!!!

Simple meet-up because I was extremely tired (out of a sudden), and he has to help his dad early in the morning. So right after dinner was HOME SWEET HOME. :)

This is just a simple entry, because "simple" have appeared quite a number of times. ^_^!!!

Pleasant surprise this 23rd :)

I'm the luckiest girl :) Both surprise came from colleagues! :) *beams!*

1st surprise!!! At mid-night, XXXXX (Don't ask me why it's XXXXX, it was a special request =.=||) called and sing me a birthday song. HAHAHA! It was quite some time anyone called after mid-night to sing me the birthday song. :))) Though he sounded a bit PS, but still the thought counts. Thank YOU! :))))

2nd surprise! HAHAHA! I was supposed to leave work on time, but last minute decided to go fab to walk my muscles out (have been sitting in the office the whole day!) Target was to go back at 530 just nice for the pass-down but in the end, I only managed to go back office around 630pm. =.=|| But it was a good learning opportunity! ^_^!!!

Since I missed the pass-down, I didn't get to see my boss for the whole day! I was hoping to ask him some stuff, but it was late so I thought he left the office and decided to leave it till Monday. Off I go, and while walking down the stairs, I received this sms:

It was from my BOSS! ^_^!!! HAHAHA! I literally jump down the stairs!!! Yes, I know you're thinking what's so happy about receiving a simple sms. But like I always say, I'm easily satisfied, and this sms meant a lot to me (hey! not all bosses wished happy birthday to their subordinates)!!!! :)))))

See? That's how happy I am! :))) Happy 23rd birthday! ^_^!!!

PS: To all those who sent sms, post on Facebook, or called: THANK YOU! For remembering that Sarah exists in your all too busy world. :)

Seat belts? Hand-brake? NO?!

:) Driving lessons are getting more and more interesting. Especially when I'm only concentrating on the road and steering the wheel, and totally forgot about the basic stuff. =.=|||

1st mistake of the day. We just switched over our seats (Me taking over the driver seat) and while the instructor is busy keying stuff into his computer, I adjusted the mirrors and seat. I was very satisfied with everything, and ready to go! Took off the hazard lights, get into the correct gear, and step on the accelerator! BUT, the car doesn't move! o.O!!! And realized that the hand-brake is still on >.<"" And the 1st thing that came to my mind was: I really didn't see the hand brake when adjusting the gear. WHY? Because my seat was so in front that it block the hand brake. HAHAHA! Crap reason, but it makes my instructor laugh so loud! -.-||  

2nd mistake of the day: Seat belts! HAHAHA! Yes, I know you are wondering seat belts also can forget?!! Well, I did and it was quite funny. I had already drove like 5 minutes and suddenly this "ding-ding" sound comes about. I didn't know what is it and ask my instructor.

Me: Ehh, what happened? Did I accidentally press something wrongly?

Him: No, you didn't. (Pause) Maybe it's because you forgot about your seat belt?

Me: *STUNNED!!!* Ohh DEAR! Should I stop at the side to wear my seat belt?

Him: No need larh, this is small case! I helped you to control the steering wheel, you just keep your feet on the accelerator and wear your seat belt.

Me: Laughing away trying to wear my seat belt. HAHAHA! Damn funny, even though it was a serious mistake!

Instructor was extremely patient, telling me where are the demerit points come about. HAHAHA! I think he was trying to scare me but it was all for good cause. ^_^!!! I was a moody Sarah since morning at work, but reached home with a smile on the face. Maybe driving really can cheer me up. :))))

Just a random picture! I missed traveling!!! 

Yet another 第一次

YAY! :) And this piece of paper cost me 25 bucks! And I've to wrap it up myself in case I accidentally tear it. =.=||| Isn't it too good money to make?!!!!

Anyway, I was extremely nervous for the first driving lesson out on the road! I'm quite a blur queen, and multi-tasking for me is only up to 3 things at the most. So imagine, you have to look left, right, front and back, and at the same control all the accelerator + brakes (that's like a dozen things!), I think I'll panicked easily! >.<""

Luckily, I happened to have this really friendly instructor (who is also very chatty like ME! That's another thing to add to the multi-task plan) who guides me throughout the whole lesson (it's his job anyway! ^_^). HAHA! Totally enjoyed his company because unlike other instructors (who always asked me "Any Questions?"), we can chit-chat a lot more other things (like buying soccer bets? ^_^). It kind of make me more relaxed driving. ^_^!!!    

I was planning to go for lessons at least 4 times a week, but then, I realized that 3 times is already too tiring (especially during weekdays, straight after work!). Got to start to plan the schedule better, if not I'll be late every time! At the rate I'm going, soon enough I'll be known as the Late Queen! *dots!*

Cramps sux to the MAX! I don't like it, makes me can't walk properly, can't eat properly, can't enjoy my day at all (especially on a Friday night!!!).

If only there's a warm hand to help calm these cramps down.......I might be a bit happier.

Yawnnnnnn

Late night supper, super last minute, but then that's life isn't it? Full of surprise! :))))

But now, I'm too full to sleep and in another 4 hours I've to wake up to prepare for work =.=|| Going to be a zombie tomorrow for sure, and it's going to be a long day because I've driving lesson straight after work!

2 words: OHH DEAR!!!

Just opposite of Thomson Ridge is our destination: Bah Chor Mee! :)))) YUMS!~

:))))) Delicioussssss 

*Pardon for the blur picture!* Arighty, I'll try to catch some sleep, which I totally doubt. >.<""

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.........Good night!

Shoes make me HAPPY!

The title says it all! Caught up with my dearest bff (someone didn't know what's bff, =.=||, you know who you are! HAHAHA!) for some dinner and late night shopping at Orchard. Actually it wasn't that late, around 4 plus and we decided to start the day off with ICE-CREAM! ^_^!!! Yums!~ Cold Rock @ 313 Somerset: Hazelnut with Nutella + Ferrero Rocher + crushed peanuts! Delicioussssssss!~

Shopped around 313 for a while before heading to The Herem for Pasta de Waraku (To avoid the dinner crowd). My 第一次 again!~ Very simple and healthy dinner, and each of us only paid around SGD8! Wahahahaha! The power of having cards in your wallet! :))))

 

Sony TX-5 Gourmet Mode! The food looks more appealing now :)))) 

Went on to Ion to shop, but the brands there are too exp for kids like us (HAHAHA!) and didn't manage to get anything. But, we did pamper ourselves with more Starbucks! Hot chocolate ALWAYS make me super happy even though it's fattening >.<"" (But who cares!~)

 

Over the cups of Green tea and hot chocolate, we consider getting ourselves a new pair of shoes, even though we have tons of it. But then, girls are always girls, SHOPPING for shoes is our (natural) habit. ^_^!!!But we decided to go back to 313 Mitju to get our shoes instead! :))))

I ♥ this shot the MOST! :))) 

 Night shot mode using my TX-5 :) Without any tripod! :))) Just loves it!~

I got 2 pairs of new shoes in 1 day!~ Retail therapy really work wonders. :))))))))))
