i'm loving it...

bdaes are so much more than juz adding 1 to ur age. not only u get wiser... learn 1 more year of "lessons"... its also a time where everyone gather & spend time together. all busy with their own lives. but every now & then... bdaes will bring us together again (even if we haven't met for a long time). well... ly's bdae was like a private party. we had pizza & golden pillows for dinner... while some engrossed in watching L. i was so looking forward to seeing fireworks out of her window... but of all saturdaes... there wasn't any that dae. how suay. see.. shouldn't expect coz expectations may lead to disappointment. wahahaha but at least we managed to catch the black knights performing in the sky. their display was so nice la... & the heart in the sky! wow~

had some successful photo taking.. with the help of the mj table. that explains the big smiles from all of us... chEeRs~! it would be perfect if ann didn't have to leave early. but its ok girl... we understand~ =) then we played indian poker... & some poor guyz kept getting wacked! hahaha its ironic... the ones kena hit are the ones who bought us all those souvenirs. hmm... wahaha now we all noe who we can't offend.. =P celebrated alex's bdae which falls on the same dae too... which explains the 2 cakes. durian... choc. both superliciously delicious~! i've gotta go find that shop manz! near my place... wooO hOo~ notice the blue thingy on the table? cookie monster! so cute ritE~ oh my god... we all starting to "wAh" upon seeing it. her family how nice... ordered this aga-aga for her! we enjoyed playing with the eyeballs after that.... =D

pissed off by those pple...

todae... i was happily listening to my nano on the long bus journey home. everything was so normal when i heard this irritating teh-ing sound coming from the other side of the bus. despite the just-right volume to cover any external sounds... this nOise made me remove my plugs to hear if she was realli tHaT loud. yes... she was. come on la... not everyone on the bus is interested in listening to ur conversation... mind u. if the bus was crowded & noisy... i can understand y u had to speak so loudly. but it was kinda empty... & obviously u will noe that ur own volume was audible to the entire bus. i dun understand why some pple can't talk at acceptable levels (like normal pple can) & realise they're the onli ones "barking". realli spoils the image of that category of pple. not that i'm intolerant... i usualli don't give a damn. but this was realli almost over the limit.

already experienced many incidents of the "wild" behaviour of this particular category. don't need specifications. if u've experienced similarities... u should know. i realli wonder... don't they know how to be the least bit considerate? haven't they been taught manners at all? s'pore... open door policy. i've got no problem with that... but not when they invAde and try to assume their culture and behaviours here. aren't they suppose to adapt to ours? maybe they juz can't. argh. i'm not presuming all of their kind are like that... coz i know there are still sane ones around. maybe i'm juz suay to meet those unpleasant ones... those that show unacceptable conduct. oh please, stop getting on my nerves....

thankfully for techno. it helped to calm my nerves (& to cover the loud blabbers). don't u ever feel so angry/sad/moody... & blasting techno actually helps? doesn't apply to everyone... but it sure does for me. ha ha ha ha. somehow... it'll juz make me feel so much more relaxed... free my mind... & juz cHiLllll. that's y i love techno... i hope u all understand. my frenz... pls go & try it? wahahahahhahaha then u'll know why i luv'em. its actually therapeutic... realli! =P more techno pubs/clubs pls?

nice niteoutz..

last weekend went for pink party at attica. 1st time there... it was separated into 2 parts. the upper floor not directly above... but connected by an alfresco section. went there kinda early... so walked ard canary 1st. there was a pool competition happening at the core... not much hype actualli. so went for a quick drink at kandibar. we ended up taking so many pics.. coz of the colourful flooring. juz love it la...! kor even sent karen pics lo... make her gian. haiz... too bad she was elsewhere having fun...

then we went to attica. free entry for pinkies... that explains our dresscose. hahaha july babies were entitled a complimentary champagne that nite... but we were too late. it was "while stocks last" even though we were there so early. 2 bottles flew away...our july babies were disappointed... especially bryan. but at least the boss was nice enough to give us a jug of screwdriver on the house. so we bought the champagne & chilled in the house section for a while. bryan's bro.. feeling rich... treat us to b52 shots. creamy coffee taste... it was realli nice! 1...2...3....suck!

after bottoms up... went down to the r&b section for the nice music & some exercise. then they wanted lambo... but i had to run the next morning. so after much negotiation... i shared one with jasmine. was afraid of the reenactment of lambo. hahaha still didn't understand how jas could dance in stilettos... amazing!

next morning... almost overslept. qt's call was a reminder... but xw's call was a jump-up-the-bed. luckily mui was late too... hahahah so took a cab & met up with the rest... juz in time. there was a field of lime greens... all warming up for the race. this time's route was not as fantastic... not much nice scenery to see. maybe coz of the construction ard. but there were occasional upslopes & downslopes. this time i ran so much slower... maybe not enough redbull? kekeke more runs to come.... i'm not sure abt 10km manz. not fit enough. well.. didn't take pics during the run... but here's before & after.

work's still fun for me... still honeymood period as they all say. i'm like counting down to aug... where i take hold of real work. juz hope i don't say the wrong things... or get into trouble. argh! its such practical matters that makes it even more delicate. my work environment is realli like going back to sch. didn't realise until ppg discussion. having all sorts of sports... training courses... still all good for me now coz of my zero workload now. have been going for courses which have somewhat prepared me. looking forward to the orientation coming... & bowling! badminton... netball... snooker... do i have time for all that? how i wish. last nite was my 1st ot... but a realli fun one. was a great 1st-time-experience in this polling program. real lucky that my 1st experience was a huge pilot one. it was enjoyable... everything went well technically. juz a little crowded when vips came in... 1st dae i guess...expected. hope its successful... coz anyone in the right mind would realise that its an incredibly great offer. definitely beneficial. =)

anywayz... later going blossomz' bdae celebration. nice cosy one at her place. its getting real hard to eat out... especially for a table of 17 or maybe 18? eventually it'll reach 20 or more. on weekends especially. oh well... private parties at home's still the best... hahaha can't wait for lateR~!

after 4 years of lectures... tutorials... projects.... lunchs/dinners in canteens... midnites together... mugging... it has come to an end! the final lap.... we've graduated! congrats to us~! An extremely fun experience in nus with all the great frenz made. each school... each chapter of our lives are so memorable in their own ways. although i'll miss the going to classes together & even projects where we pia-ed thru'... now we'll juz look forward to gatheringz... meetups & more outingz! with our great yiru+pat as organizers... i'm so looking forward to their plans! hahahahha many has helped me thru' my uni life... both academically & emo-ly. we've all grown together in nus... pia together & some even got together! =P

well... grad ceremony on 14th July'08 was so happening manz. UCC was super packed... & all rushing to put on our gowns & getting seating in the auditorium. in the dressing room... a little chaotic coz everyone is helping each other to hurry hurry hurry! kinda funny also... all busy but all smiling & laughing. so as the ceremony started...

opening speech by the founder before individual on-stage 'modelling'. wahahha 1st to model were the smartest of course. masters then followed by honours. Archi... ID... Building... then RE. some walked fast, some slowly... some waved as the audience cheered. so funny la. so.. of course i was the latest few. one of the few times going on stage... didn't feel like it was anything honourable. maybe coz of lousy results. some say study years for this moment... but to me it was juz a less-than-1-min walk.

y u look so pai seh... my fren said. did i? hahaha i noe i was laughing... but it juz happened so fast. juz remember thanking the chancellor and smiling for the camera... then faster siam. hahahhaa the fun-est part is after the ceremony! tons of balloons dropped from the top... taking us all by surprise coz we didn't even notice them. some threw their sq hats & lost them maybe? hahhaahha then went outside & the crazy photo-taking started. went in search for my parents 1st. it was like the game..."finding wally". amongst the crowd... i had to scan through & search for them coz reception was bad. everyone was busy taking pics with everyone else... so was i....

after that went to holland for sushi tei with parents... which i finally got the chance to treat them! with my own pay~ hahaha then i insisted to go visit my bro... coz i wanna carry little jon!! so cute can. sooOoOooo suPeR dUper cute!! possible to carry with one hand... but too fragile to. can't wait for him to grow up... then can play with him le! hahahaha if only bro lives nearer... haiz. anywayz... after that reunite with nus pple again for coffee... wanted to take more pics but we ended up talking so much that we 4got. great frenships formed... memories of a lifetime. =)

something funny..

"Be Safe. Use protection. Know all the facts. When, where & how? For long lasting pleasure" What do u think of when u see this? obvious rite... but its not what u think! its actualli refering to sunblock~ 2 daes back.. bought this nivea sunblock from guardian. those on-sale travel pack kind. (juz needed a little to standby) & i juz realise that's written on the cover of its user guide. wat a way to advertise....

anyway... ren sent me an sms recently. about those find-out-your-personality kinda question. found it very true... so wanna share with u all.

"imagine u r very hungry at night & wanted to eat instant noodle. U finally found 1 last packet, but it's expired for a week, u will... (a)pretend never see, juz eat. (b)go out & buy a new one, or buy other food. (c)forget it la, dun eat."

so which did u pick? answer truthfully before u see the answer below. dun play cheat hor.. then more accurate. hahaha these kinda questionnaires are amazingly accurate at times... most of the time. maybe not exactly... but largely. isn't it amazing...? who comes up with them anyway. are the answers really so true or is it juz self-fulfilling prophecies? oh well... ok... enough dragging. i know u're anticipating. the answers are.. (a)do not understand that 'one can't love to order'. u will alwayz hang on in the relationship w/o any thinking, u juz wanna hang on. (b)liked by frenz around u & failure in a relationship never gets u down. life goes on with many other things. (c)u noe u need to let go when it's time, no point holding on to it, even though it may hurt.

well... dunno if u all think its accurate. for me... yes. & i thought of wat someone would have answered & its juz so true. anywayz... yesterdae went to try dragon boating. juz 1 word... tough. ache-ing all over now. & its not as easy as it looks. felt the mental strain of having to keep rowing when arms are so sour! realli a challenge of mind over body... i think its a sport where mental strength is put to the test. but i think its not the right time now... maybe not yet. coz the travelling and the inconvenience of watersports... think i'll consider going regularly if i ever have a car. oh well. guess i'll eventualli join netball... where practically all my frens are. tmr going for bowling... so excited! veri long neber play le... kekeke can't wait to see the fireworks this sat!! =D

love weekends..

i'm realli loving weekends. although my weekdaes are not tHaT boring... but u'll really start to realise how precious weekends are in the working world. of course before i get piled up with properties and start working OTs... i gotta enjoy to the max. thats wat my colleagues keep saying. actualli i'm very blessed coz my workplace is not those typical do-sai-kang kinda work. they actualli let me learn 1st... & my mentor is helping to buy some time before i start actual on-my-own. giving me a little hands-on while i'm loading myself with all the policies. even the upcoming upgrading program... they didn't schedule me for the sat & sun shifts... so good rite! although i was kinda prepared to be called back on that weekend... but i was shocked when the schedule was out. =P so ya... i'm starting to see the good... & put aside the bad. kekeke

yesterdae went to celebrate bryan kor's bdae. me & dajie collected cake b4 meeting the rest of sof. we kept the cake with our later-in-the-night chillout place and went to CA at marina sq. poor kor was stuck in traffic... due to the ndp previews. heard fireworks but couldn't see it! btw... there'll be fireworks every saturdae this few weeks! gotta go see~ ate so full... & managed to bluff kor that there was no cake. we celebrated for him in the chalet at OCC aldy! but he still wanted... "too bad"~ hahaha so after glad joined us...went to do some shooting at the arcade before heading to paul lenner to chill. coincidentally, his bro was nearby & wanted to pass things to him. so his bro & gf joined us for the surprise later. the singers there were fantastic la. was so engrossed in their singing! the 2 gals voices were so bright & powerful. the guys' was not bad too... but he didn't sing much. seems like they sing everydae except sunday. will definitely go hear again someday. they're realli good! so envious~ & the service there was great. they asked me secretly for the bdae boy's name... & i said some not-veri-convincing lies to cover up. but blur kor didn't realise something fishy going on. then at midnight... they sang happy birthday! & the funny thing is... another table who aldy cut cake... thought that the song was for him lo! kaoz. he even stood up... wahahhaa but when they sang with "bryan" in it... i guess they knew. hahaha so abit spoil la... coz kor didn't know the song for him. when the cake came... he thought it was complimentary! oh manz. but later he realised the wordings "macho kor" & he admitted he got faked... yeah! we succeeded. hhahahaa it was a great experience... realli like that place even more. the music... the beer... the service... great! i'm sure kor enjoyed himself... we did too~

juz had family dinner... so much food again~ but couldn't eat much... tongue ulcer. took photos with them in my grad gown... but my bro & dasao couldn't make it. how i wish they were here. but its ok... guess its too far & timing is not right. inconvenient during this period. tmr got department orientation. dunno wat to expect... no idea wat we gona do. hahaha but at nite gona find gladys at her new workplace. lallallalallaa

wow... very slow in updates. have been so busy compiling my grad trip post... took so long to complete it! can't online that often nowadaes. anywayz... work has been alright. passed the thought of giving up. welcomed the idea of finding joy & satisfaction out of it. i juz hope to be able to make it! help pple... making an impact & changing their lives. sounds so great rite... easier said than done. i will survive!! hahaha

many outings passed. very fun ones. few weekends back... went to eat at Flutes @ fort canning park with my family. dasao's little one is almost out. pointed tummy and relatively big for her size. i'm gona have a nephew! can't feel the excitement yet ba... maybe when he's out? hope i'll get to see him often... jurong! aiyo. anywayz... had to walk quite a distance to Flutes coz we parked at the wrong carpark. its a stairway up to the classy black/white restaurant. good place for dating btw... take note guyz! anywayz... after that bro gotta get home early. so went to meet cheebongz for movie later.. zohan! it was dirty funny... but had a great laugh. vinc got his present thru' the window...he must have been so happy! next dae went sentosa with ny pple. supposed to be a morning event... but the weather dampened many spirits. but we went ahead coz i kept saying the weather will be good! i wasn't sure actualli... but juz stayed hopeful! so as we played beach volley... slowly our hands all got red and poor bernie... a little swollen. guess it shows how often he caught the ball. hahaa siloso has onli 1 volley court left... haiz. last time there were like at least 5 rite? but it was realli fun! got a little burnt surprisingly. after that went to robertson's bdae at Jalapeno's pepper. food there was great.. especially the yummy dessertS! service was damn good too... sorry we left so late... had to cut cake mah. kekeke

following dae after work... went for vinc's bbq. small party... great food. thanx to alex who was our chef. hahaha simple celebration but so fulfilling... rite bdae boy? planned an mj session that fridae. we played hide & seek in sengkang b4 that... reached weekiat's place kinda late... sorry manz. so there were the 'pong's and the 'chi's... i almost got the 7 '2's... how stupid of me. hahaha the next weekend was potluck at pat's place. it was a huge gathering... think almost 20+ pple... so crowded! was like a "market" as some point. hahah all thanx to pat for organizing & coming up with the grp ICs. hope we'll gather again sometime. next dae was bryan's chalet at occ... the room was huge! so comfy and relaxing! played a little mj before going out for dinner at some famous zi cha stall. near sembawang park. damn nice can!! the lala... in wine sauce.. something different from the usual chilli lala. very crowded.. so the food took very long.. but sure worth it! so we stayed over coz next dae off. next dae me & karen juz watched hbo the whole dae.. real couch potatoes. supposed to go home that nite but juz couldn't resist the temptation for "holidae stayover". so ya... kor drove us back to pack stuff... & there we were back in the cosy "hotel". mj-ed that nite till 4+ & the consequence is... low energy the next dae. i'm still getting used to worklife. gotta sleep early... but trying to make the best out of my non-work daes. keke

yesterdae met up with neo, leong & kwok. hougang mall changed so much! had ichiban & walked a little. talked alot alot alot. its like the first time we talked, discussed and analyzed so much. i realli enjoyed that quality time together... should have all these again manz. i seem to be documenting all my outingz in one shot. but juz gotta keep a record of my life... coz of my bad memory. so this blog acts as my virtual memory. =P
