surprise party for Joyce that night was kinda fun! so nice catching up with the 4F darlings.. after so long. lol. the expression on her face was just priceless. Happy birthday once again Joyce! tor was really nice, offering to send zhao home even though he stays near Jalan Kayu. although zhao finally decided to spend the night at mao's house, it was the gesture that counted right! :D






what a pretty piece of art!












































went to Escape yesterday with Jingwen Rongjun and Limzy. it has changed so much.. quite a pity actually. I think if not for the free tickets from Jingwen the price certainly wouldn't be worth it. $17 plus! there used to be so many fun rides like the Pepsi, Cadbury Inverter and the Panasonic Indoor roller-coaster but now all one by one close down coz probably someone died there or something. the only thrilling ride left was the Viking.. finally conquered my fear of sitting at the ends! I never dared to sit at the ends when I was much younger. joining climbing probably helped me curb that fear. After free-falling for like 3 to 4 seconds (AND GETTING ROPE BURNT!) on Two Drops at Batu Caves, that split second on the Viking seemed like nothing much. haha. when it reaches the maximum point in the air before it changes direction, you literally feel as if your hands are glued to the bar. I didn't dare lift them off coz you really feel as if you could just fly out any second. lol really! okay maybe I'm just noob. haha. :)

finally, the time has come for me to ORD. finally. shiokadoo!

OH YES. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOE! :D

20 seconds! that's the difference between a hundred bucks and no hundred bucks. lol! considering to retake next week.. well I did pretty okay for the other stations but as usual it's always the 2.4... what a move! I need to break that mental barrier. but.. where got time...? ORD lo! lol. :D can la I probably can retake next week. really will be the last time. if not no $100. :(

some people can be really scheming to cheat guys of their money, just have to tell the guy they're pregnant when they actually are not. I'm actually talking about someone I know in camp- the guy I mean. Apparently, the girl in question is actually a student at a pretty good uni's business school, no names here! poor thing the guy. think she managed to get at least 2k from him. she think he ITE easy cheat? I feel so indignant for the guy. and I'm not looking down on ITE people here by the way.

happy birthday darren! thanks for inviting us to your party, hope you enjoyed your cake facial! :) LOL. what a waste, you became a red lobster after your deadly alcohol mixture.. I wonder what they made you drink.

and by the way, shalynn is a good mixologist! crystal and siying loved them. the drinks, that is. Sorry to whoever's Baileys that was, but I think I poured a little too much.. haha. well, first I put in a few ice cubes, then started pouring a bit, but it seemed a little too little to me because there was ice in there as well, so I poured a little more. and when I passed the cups to crystal and siying and limzy they were like "wa.. so much!" lol. I think it almost reached half mug level, with the ice, that is. and the ice cubes are really huge so it's quite deceiving! but it was still pretty a lot. haha. don't worry we didn't waste any! we drank and passed it around but we finished it in the end. :D

I was quite surprised Ren Ci's charity show managed to raise $7 million! how is that possible. I never knew we were so generous. haha.

yesterday was a happy day.

for more than one reason. :D

thanks jingwen for inviting us all to your birthday party. many familiar faces! and something new to suan limzy has emerged, out of nowhere. lol. many thanks too to Weicheng and his imba camera, really like some full-time photographer. the polaroid camera especially was damn cool la. classic!

Chick was damn zai, need to leave to take the ferry at 0630, still can play poker with us until two plus three, next day still got lessons and stuff in camp, like a pro! :)

Darren, tomorrow will be your doomsday. be prepared! hahahaha.

damn rongjun! intro-ed me the Tae Yeon--Can You Hear Me song, now I'm addicted! lol. :D

Korean fever has hit the town. haha.

went to run in camp that day. timing was 12.25! not good enough for my $100 man. there's still time.. hope I can make it! need to cut down more.. but it's chalet and birthday season.. hope I still can run. see la darren all your fault. lol. I really salute those short people who can get gold. With such short legspans, it only means that their legs shuffle even harder and faster to run for gold. gay man.

Uniqlo actually sells pretty decent stuff! :) I didn't realise that before. haha.

I hate people who do not move into the inner seat, especially when the bus is like packed. Some people have really thick skin, even when people are like packed so tightly together on the bus they can still pretend to do their own stuff and not move in. Best thing is, some people pretend to sleep. What happened to our social etiquette eh. lol.

it's the season for birthday parties! =D

Well, with the dawning of a new year, it's time to set your resolve, look forward, and leave no regrets, right LIMZY?

camp has been crap, especially this last stretch, because of the changing of some policies and arrangements.. new problems popping up here and there.. I'm just so glad I ORD before the Chinese New Year. lol. just 4 days before, shiokadoo.. going to have to look for a job soon.. anyone with any recommendations? 12 more working days! :)

need to take IPPT soon. It'll be quite a miracle if I can get silver, that $100 will be welcomed with open arms man. haha. but it's gonna be pretty challenging, especially the run. haven't been running in such a long time, that day went to run, timing was really gg. going to try to cut off some time. chiong ah!

LOL the Korean GEE song is so catchy and addictive! :) now I know why chick like already. hahaha. and their dancing is damn pro man. niceeee. lol!

chick next time must send me ah haha. :D

I realised how comical people look when they speak loudly on airplanes because they are wearing earphones. I'm pretty sure the air stewardesses get a lot of this, it must be really hilarious. haha.

When I was in Melbourne I received a random sms from some random number in Singapore, probably sent wrongly. Here's what it read:

"you think I cannot make you happy?"

what a move. when I read it I was like... wth??! felt like replying though, but I probably would have caused a breakup, so I didn't. but it was still really funny. :)

the Airbus A380 is really cool. it's so majestic it just seems like a gigantic bird in the sky. it's more spacious too, especially when you're seated at the window, because probably the body of the plane is more circular. you should try it one day! oh yes I walked up to have a look at the business class too. It was like.. WHOA. haha.

Melbourne was nice. the people there are friendly, and the drivers are courteous. They give way and stuff like that, unlike some Singaporeans who purposely speed up when they see you're trying to change lane/filter out. We visited the Twelve Apostles (a stack of rocks in the ocean) and took a drive along the world-famous Great Ocean Road. The views were just breathtaking. The stuff there were pretty expensive. oh yes and there's just so much land that almost everyone has a decent house/ bungalow.

We also visited Philip Island, where we saw how the Little Penguins waded in from the ocean at sunset to return to their burrows. so cute. pity we weren't allowed to take pictures. haha.. :D it's just amazing how they are able to find their way back home after hunting in the big ocean for the entire day. smart penguins, maybe they got GPS. lol.

yay. ORD soon. but that only means that I'll need to find another source of income! anyone with any job to recommend? :) haha. wa yesterday I went on a real adventure man. Here's the story:

ok I was supposed to fetch the car from my mum's office in Toa Payoh after camp because she had to attend some meeting at some place where she wasn't allowed to park. So I went there after work to fetch the car.

On the way home, I was supposed to take this ramp up Toa Payoh North Flyover which will then bring me to Braddell Road then I was supposed to drive along Braddell Road to Bartley Road then to my sister's office to pick her from work. BUT, by the time I realised I was supposed to keep right to go up the ramp it was already too late. So I had no choice but to turn left. it was still Braddell Road, but in the opposite and there was NO U-TURN for dunno how long.

I quickly turned into the petrol station to check the map. So the backup plan was to go along Braddell Road in the opposite direction until I came to the PIE then exit at Toa Payoh so I can go up the ramp to the flyover again. So I drove on and on until I saw a sign--PIE (Changi Airport). I thought I was supposed to take the PIE towards Tuas direction instead of the one towards Changi Airport. So I didn't exit. I exited at the next one instead- PIE-Tuas. GG! By the time I realised I was in the wrong direction I almost drove until Clementi! near the exit to SIM. what a move man.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Drive slowly near the exits!

haha.

Oh my. yesterday morning while I was about to leave for camp, I sat down on the floor and started to put on my boots. Usually my boots will be placed right beside the shoe cabinet, above which sits the bird cage that contains my two little cute peach-faced lovebirds.

here they are!




















cute, aren't they! :)

anyway, back to the story. As I was slipping my right foot into the boot I felt something inside, so I immediately thought it was a sunflower seed that might have dropped from the bird cage above. So I overturned the boot. Nothing came out, so I put my foot in again. This time I felt something again. I overturned the boot, and I was greeted with the most disgusting sight. A COCKROACH! it was damn gross. It was still alive! After I stepped on it twice can you imagine. It started running away, but thankfully mum was there to catch it and it was squashed on the spot. lol. when it fell out of the boot some liquid was oozing out of it oh my I shall stop here.

Remember to check before putting on your boots!

can go buy 4D man. lol.

I watched Up yesterday with my sis. nice show! I felt it was really heartwarming. One of the best animation shows I've watched so far... haha. ok la actually I haven't really watched a lot of this kind of cartoon shows.. only remember watching Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Monsters Inc, Shark's Tale, Horton and ya I can't remember what else. but this is the best so far. :D go catch it!

And I also bought a digital camera! 12.2 mega pixels. haha. very clear! :D it was such a good deal, from original price $360+ on sale become $199. plus it comes with a free 4gb memory card, memory card reader, camera stand, screen protector and a little magazine on photography techniques. great buy! actually I wasn't in a real rush to get one, but I guess it'll probably come in handy very soon. haha. it's at Harvey Norman by the way. promotion probably still on. can consider!

EPL officially starts this weekend. yay.

check out this GIANT lobster i saw in the tank of one italian restaurant we went to in Jakarta. It was really HUGE! poor thing, just lying there waiting for someone to order and cook it. For a lobster that size it would have cost about the equivalent of 70 or 80 Singapore dollars.. can you believe it.. gay lobster! lol.

didn't take much pictures over there in Jakarta. in fact, this was the only picture I took! haha. it was pretty much shopping eating and watching dvds over there.. the pirated dvds were of really good quality! only cost about one singapore dollar. watched a few shows like He's Just Not That Into You, Yes Man, Passengers (Anne Hathaway! lol..), Transformers 2, Eagle Eye and Prison Break- The Final Break. (this was really good! something like the final instalment after Season 4 I think.)

overall it was a good trip. :) a nice little break from everything. and the air ticket cost only $140. lol. not the cheapest though! So remember, like the airline said, for the lowest fares, always log on to www.tigerairways.com. hahaha. :D
