Mini IA gathering :)

:) Had a mini IA gathering in school, to welcome Su Su home from にほん (日本) from her studies. We had lunch at Palette (the "art" cafe, which I haven't went in since my 1st visit 2 years ago). I was quite surprised by the crowd (lunch crowd), cause I remember during the 1st visit, the food wasn't all that delicious.

:) Anyway, after Su su arrived, got some cute souvenirs from her (really appreciate it!) and off we go to order our lunch! :) They ordered the set lunch, which consist of a main course (Chicken breast), soup of the day and a drink for $6. Quite a big portion, so I considered it quite worth it. Unfortunately for them, the breast is so hard and rubbery that it took forever to bite. LOL! Lucky I ordered their ala carte, てりやき chicken with the set which cost me $6.50. It was YUM YUM! HOHO! At least this time I wasn't as disappointed as the 1st visit. ^_^!

Not too bad food + Good scenery + Great company! ^^

:) Pleasant lunch with IA gang, was a nice catch up with everyone and of course some gossips! HOHO!

A little update for these days.....

I missed blogging, but work is piling up, and making me dread waking up every morning. Because I knew the next 12 hours will be spent mostly in the library (I even believe that the librarian can recognize me). >.<""

Plus!, this month having serious mood swings, till I can't take it anymore! (T_T) I can be smiling away this minute and the next minute, I'll be getting all worked up because of the "this-cannot-that-cannot" feeling. *URGH!* And those who knew me well enough, whenever, I don't talk (maybe just a little...), keep on looking everywhere but you, it means I'm not in a good mood. This serves as a fairly good warning so stay away from me. bleah!~ But then, it's good to have you along to let me 发泄 on. Though it's not your fault. 

Ohh, definitely not to forget, something to cheer me up every night after the library closes! ^_^_^_^_^






















Tada!!!! Wahahahahaha!~

After a long day of report writing + online lectures + tutorials, this definitely perks me up! HAHAHA! Lucky I found a kaki to play with me, and the current score stands at 11-14, with me losing. >.<""" But hey, I will win back ok? HAHAHAHA!

Gotta sign off and back to bed, tutorial early in the morning. Urgh!

New Omnia 2 for ME! ^_^_^_^_^

HOHO! You know, when you "gian" this something, you tend to make rush decisions which you might or might not regret in future. I went to sign up the BPL for the mioHome plan because of the 100bucks offset ANY handphone set during the roadshow. Alright, I wouldn't totally say it's the 100bucks offset that i wanted, the other part of me is doing it for my dad because I knew he will want to watch the soccer plus golf and other sports. So, there you go, a new contract + 100bucks + monthly subscription of $24+ (10% off because I'm currently holding the mioHome plan) in less than 30 minutes time. *phew!*

Hahaha, I have lots of explanation to do when the bill in August comes along. Yeah, because my dad still don't know that I sign up for this sports channel. >.<""" OMG! Hopefully, by that time, I'm capable of paying all the monthly bills which includes the internet subscription + home line + mioTV + mobile phone! Ohh, definitely not to forget, my school loans (which is a HUGE amount)!

Anyway, I'm still learning how to use my phone. Totally different from the usual phone that I've. Maybe it's because Omnia 2 is a smartphone, so requires someone smart to use it. >.<""""

Steamboat + Yu Sheng + Blackjacks = FUN^3!!! Part 2

Time to continue with the long long night....

So, right after yu sheng, we went down to the coffee shop and meet with other friends for a short chit-chatting session! Of course, we did clean up the place, if not Alvin's mum gotta kill us and ban us from her house in future. >.<"""

Saw LM, XY and JAS, whom I haven't seen since secondary school? Maybe a bit exaggerating, I think the last time I saw them was a class gathering at Sentosa (which was a few years back too). Anyway, we caught up with one another and listen to Alvin's love story (most of the time) cause everyone is so curious about his new girlfriend. Very cute story, loving and next time guys, you might want to use this phrase "我的手很冷，你要摸一下吗?" This might be your chance of getting yourself a girlfriend. WAHAHAHAHA! :) :)

My first time to take a photo at coffee shop. Not too bad feeling, just that some of the uncles will look in our directions and stare a bit. >.<"""

After our drinks + talking, we went on to SK's house for blackjacks. Wahahahaha! My first round of gambling this year! Yeah, my parents don't like me to gamble, so we can only play cards (without any money on the table!). So I 偷偷 gamble without telling my mum about it, heex! ^_^_^_^_^

:) SK is the 庄 with her lucky golden cow! :)

My 1st "10-Ace" pair! *LOL!* Smiling away!

2nd time! hAHAHaHAHAHA!

We played for about 4 hours, and I swear, we are not tired or sleepy at all! Money really have an effect when playing cards. ^_^!

Took lots of pictures before leaving for home! :)

I like this photo, happen to stand at the correct place with the good lighting ^_^_^_^_^

That's how we wrapped up our night of FUN in this mini gathering! :) :) :) We should really do more of this, because friends like you guys really rock my world and never fails to bring a smile to my face.

*Lovessssssss*

Steamboat + Yu Sheng + Blackjacks = FUN^3!!! Part 1

A class gathering at Alvin's house before he flies back to his Kelly. :) :) :) *giggles!* and also to celebrate CNY. But turn out that the gathering is super mini, cause only the host, Alvin, SK, LP, KS and ME! *LOL!* But it's alright, the 5 of us are enough to create chaos to the food. HOHO!

We're having steamboat, with lots of really funny stuff. All prepared by our dear Alvin! First of all, he just added water to the pot of soup and I was like "HUH?". HAHAHA! I thought you're supposed to prepare a pot of soup instead of using just plain water for steamboat. But after explaining himself, we understand that the soup has enough TASTE, so plain water is enough >.<:""

 

The first weird stuff: Anyone of tried having steamboat Siew Mai?

Wow, this is my first time! It looks quite weird to have something round and yellowish floating in the soup, but then, it turns out to be quite delicious. *wahahaha!* It's good to try new food, you never know how good it really tastes until it's in your mouth! :) :) :) The white dumplings are HANDMADE by HY (thanks!) and it's super yummy! Hehehe! I ate quite a lot of these small dumplings. *shhhh....*

Chicken chop in steamboat? Wahahaha! My 1st time seeing this big piece of chicken, ready to cook. I think Alvin forgot to cut it into smaller pieces >.<"" Nevertheless, it was quite funny to see such big piece of chicken on the table.

LP, SK, BL & KS! My secondary school BUDDIES!

The girls with the class monitor :) :) :)

After dinner, we decide to take some group photos (of course with our Mandarin oranges!) ^_^_^_^_^ Followed by lots of dish washing and cleaning up of dinning table for the next round of food! 捞鱼生!

鱼生from Sakae Sushi

Before 捞-ing, let's take a photo! And Alvin can't wait to eat......*giggles!*

With Amy! :) :) :)

We are caught in the act of 捞-ing the 鱼生! :) :) :) *FUN!!!!*

Hahaha, there's more to come and i shall continue again tomorrow, after my CA o.O

I'm so sleepy! *_* Good night!

:) :) :)

:) :) :) I got plant as a gift from a friend. It's really cute especially the words.

 

 

And this shall be my motivation for the next 2 months! ^_^!!! *Loves!*

YeSH! I finally look taller.....

Watching tv can help to gain some knowledge. This is true. Hahaha! Especially after watching "America's Next Top Model".

See for yourself.......

I'm just a 1.5+ m tall girl, but in this picture, I kind of look 1.6m tall? Wahahaha! Or am I just dreaming that I look taller? Nah, I don't think so. Anyway, in order to look tall, just point your toes down and straighten your legs and voila....You just grew 4cm taller! LOLOLOL! This is very nice tip for girls that is "not-that-tall" to use! ^_^_^_^_^

Good news! I found my Flying Doreamon kite! Hahaha! Gonna meet up with the person to collect my kite and I can't wait to fly him in the sky! HOHOHO! 

Health is IMPORTANT!

I don't know if it's normal for girls like me at this age to feel old and starts to get worried about health problems. But I've been doing some reading on low blood pressure (hypotension) and high blood pressure (hypertension) and what are some ways to maintain the normal blood pressure range.

I think the foremost important way to maintain a normal blood pressure range is to have a balanced healthy meals and drink lots of water. Exercise is also a must for daily activities.

I happen to chance upon to website on the 5 steps to getting started on your fitness program. The 5 simple steps are: 

Step 1: Assess your fitness level

Step 2: Design your fitness program

Step 3: Assemble your equipment

Step 4: Get started

Step 5: Monitor your progress

You can find more details at here. Credits to Mayo Clinic. :) :) :) 

Trust me, we should take good care of our own health when we're young. Health complications usually come as we age, therefore, keeping a good health will delay such complications from entering our lives at such an early stage.

Quest for Immortality

Finally I stepped into the National Museum of Singapore (like after so many years)!!! All thanks to the Quest for Immortality, Egypt Collection! Being a student has its own benefits, other than not having enough money to spend every month, some places would offer special student rates (to lessen our 负担). NMS (in short for National Museum of Singapore) allows us students to enter for FREE! *giggles!* But not to worry too much, for public the entry is SGD15, or you can just borrow someone's else card to bluff your way through since the receptionist didn't really check the card. ^_^_^_^

I spent like 1 hour solving the puzzles, mainly decoding some strange codes/pictures. It's quite interesting because the Egyptian actually drew some really complicated drawings to communicate in the past. I wonder how long their students will take to write a 250-300 words composition. =.=||| *lame!*

 

 

 

Because no flashlight is allowed inside, so most of the photos are quite dark. But this one lucky statue happened to be right under the light, so it's very clear. But I realized that it's quite scary around the eyes area.Hollow and dark........

One more! :) :) :) Museum tour can be quite fun and exciting! HOHO!!!

3 第一次 in one night!

What a exciting night! :) :) :) Life's great with so many unpredictable and exciting events happening on you, don't you agree? 3 第一次s in one night is definitely going to spice up my life and make me a HAPPIER person on Earth! ^_^!!!

1st 第一次: Dinner @ Beppu Dinning Restaurant, ate some "Demon" ramen. I decided to try their level 2 spiciness = WRONG decision! It's super hot, till I don't dare to drink the soup and tried to drain all the soup from the ramen before going inside my mouth! >.<"" But the crispy chicken is nice (I LIKE!), 够味道! *HAHA!*

2nd 第一次: KOI Bubble tea!!!! Finally managed to get my hands on a cup of bubble tea! Usually when I first try a bubble tea shop, I will go for their milk tea first. KOI is not an exception, ordered a small 25% sugar milk tea (unfortunately their pearls sold out! :( ) But it's really nice (just a bit not sweet, which is healthy!). Ohh, in order to add on some sweetness, I ate a D24 durian pancake! *Deliciooouuuussss.....and SINFUL!*

3rd 第一次: Yangtze Cinema! After such a long time (from IA last year till now), we finally made our way there. Of course, it's not that easy to find the cinema. We walked around the mall trying to locate the cinema (and the worst thing I'm wearing heels OMG!), up the escalator and walkways...and finally, at this wulu corner, there's an entrance to the ticket kiosk! *YEAH!* But, I didn't buy a ticket to watch. *tsk tsk!* But I'm definitely going back one day to watch a movie and see what those uncles are doing inside...umbrellas and newspapers READY TO GO! Anyone interested, please drop me a message!  ^_^_^_^!!!

It's a once a lifetime thing!

Warning: Please do not go alone to such places alone as "senior citizens" (UNCLES!) are seen walking around the premises. Safety is IMPORTANT! :) :) :) 

Instead of a R21 movie, we went to GV Plaza for a late night show: The Spy Next Door, starring Jackie Chan. 3 words to describe the movie: cute, funny and entertaining (at least I didn't fell asleep)! :) :) :) 

Cab home after that! Few more hours to shopping trip! *WHEEE!* 

Eyes so tired from wearing contacts for >12 hours. I'm still not used to wearing contacts! *urgh!* :(

As promised, these are some of the pics (I personally love) taken on our kite flying trip! :) :) :)

My dearies in NTU! You guys are ♥! 

Picture's a bit blur, but all of us are in the AIR!   

1st night shot! :) not too bad...

Quite an artistic shot, dreamy feeling, and all of us have different expressions ^_^_^_^_^!!!

 

We got ourselves wet from playing with water...but it was fun! haha! now I can understand why kids love to run around in the water. It's cooling, it helps to clean your feet (eee, so many feet-s in there) and the sound of splashing water is so smoothing.

Dinner was at Wendy's (老巴刹) eating the 3/4 pounds of burger! *WOW!* Damn big, but niceeeee....Considering to challenge myself with eating the burger all by myself next time. >.<"" I will be super bloated (that's for sure!) :) :) :) 

Ohh, and not to forget, this year we already celebrated 3 birthdays! :) :) :) Hahaha! Birthdays always make me HAPPY!

Joke of the day?

Just for laughs only! HAHAHAHA!!!

I think I got a new hobby (out of a sudden). And guess what, it's totally random! KITE FLYING! Hahaha! Don't ask me why I suddenly got this idea, just go try and fly your own kite and you'll know that it's super FUN! :) :) :) but tiring as well.

You will get a sense of achievement when you see that your kite is high up in the sky with the blue sky as the background and flowing gracefully through the clouds (maybe not that high *giggles*). And it's not that easy to do that (OK!), lots of skills are needed like: strength of wind + direction of wind + whether place is crowded (if yes, then you've limited space to run around) + quality of kite + what type of string is used + luck. Hahaha! This is all from my point of view though.

Nevertheless, I intend to buy a good and durable kite with the look-professional string with reeling type like a fishing rod for the next round of kite-flying. Maybe it helps me to fly my kite easier and also to reel it back when the kite falls back down (save a lot of time coiling the string back).

Pictures to be uploaded at a later post! It's almost 3am in the morning! *YAWNZ!* 

Sometimes, money is not everything. Don't always think that money is everything and it can solve all the problems.

I believe that happiness is more important.

It sadden me whenever money is involved between us. Is money really that important to you?

Totally addicted to PP stream these days. Whenever I'm home, I'll be sitting in front of the computer and watching drams related to forensics. I swear I'm becoming a "仔女" soon. =.=|| But just can't help it, some of these shows are so good that I would stay up into the wee hours just to complete the whole series! :) :) :) which leads to the fact that I'm not sleeping enough and my face condition is going to get worse! :'(

Ok, I think I should have a plan when school re-opens. Daily sleep intake should be at least 7 hours which means that 11.30 pm (latest) in bed. That's a bit hard but I should be able to do it.

Ohh one MORE important thing, I have around 6 months to slim down to my ideal weight (and I'm not going to tell you what it is) for my brother's big day! So that means consistent exercising and good diet. Every alternate days to exercise (most probably running and swimming) and going to gym to try getting my arms muscles firmer. LOL! 说得比做得容易, BUT I'm still going to try...anyone interested to join me? hahaha! ^_^!!!

がんばって!!!

Before 2009 ends, I decided to eat something sweet to welcome the brand new year. ^_^!!! We dropped by Ah Chew Desserts (around Bugis) to grab a bite! :) :) :) It was quite crowded (business is really good!) but manage to find some seats! :)

  

We tried the Pulot Hitam (黑罗米 in coconut milk), Black Sesame paste (黑芝麻糊) and Papaya Milk (木瓜鲜奶). The pulot hitam looks really nice when served and I didn't want to ruin the look but have no choice as the coconut milk needs to be mixed properly. It wasn't very sweet but rich in the black glutinous rice taste! DELICIOUS! :) :) :)

Black sesame paste is thick enough for me and not very sweet. I realized that most of their desserts doesn't taste so sweet (although desserts have to be sweet) which is good for me and of course the elderly! :) :) :)

Lastly, the hot papaya milk is served! Hmmm, this is my first try (I never believe papaya will help to boast breast enlargement) and it wasn't that bad. The papaya is super soft and not much smell left because all the smell is already inside the milk. I couldn't finish the milk because milk taste + papaya = a smell that I can't take it. HAHAHA! I think if I'm going to order this dessert again, I will choose a cold one. Maybe the smell won't be so strong. :) :) :)

After desserts, we walked down to Marina for the fireworks. As usual, it's super crowded (with lots of "black people") and lucky we manage to find an empty space to rest first. Finally, it's time to stand up and count down! :) :) :)

New year supposed to be a happy day, but turn out to be a scary night for me. Just 1 minute into the fireworks, I saw a spray can flew across my head and hit onto a "black guy" and it re-bounces onto my friend's leg. At first, he just touch his head (and I guess it's really painful) and thought nothing of it until I saw his shirt becomes RED! Wow! At the same time, he turned to his friend (beside him) and I saw blood flowing down his forehead. OMG OMG OMG!!! I was scared shitless (literately) and kept on moving backwards because he was trying to get rid of his blood. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring tissue out and couldn't afford to give him some. I was so upset that I didn't enjoy much of the fireworks and left once the whole show ended!

So, the next time you wished to go for such major down count event, wear a HELMET! You never know when a 黑心人 will throw a spray can at you.

Fake eyelash is troublesome!

Hahahaha! :) :) :) It's a totally random post!After viewing a few You-tube videos on how to put on fake eyelashes, I decided to try to put on some fake eyelash on my eyes! ^_^_^_^_^ Just recently, I bought 3 pairs of fake eyelashes so I decide to put them to good use.

With the help of QW, I finally managed to put on the eyelashes and still look not too bad. ^_^!!!   

Unfortunately, I realized that the lashes are too long and if I wear my specs, it will become very uncomfortable. *bleah!* Too bad I don't have contact lenses (I don't dare to wear them! >.<"") so for that night I'm a blind girl!

Maybe I should really go get a pair of contact lenses. 爱美不要命 I agree with this phase now. *HAHAHA!*
