Left Adrian's place and stayed in Urban Central @Southbank. Was a really nice hostel! Washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, toilet, tv, bar, games room, reading room, etc. More info on www.urbancentral.com.au. My 1st batch of room mates: 3 girls 0.0, i wasnt told it was mixed shared! Anyway, nice people: Yuki from Jap who knew almost 0 english but was in Aus for more than 3 months and still goin! Elizabeth from Scotland whos looking for permanent job in Mel. Lastly, a girl who I never got to know nor see since she returned late at night and disappeared the next evening. Wish them all the best in their plans ahead!

Exploring around town was really easy after moving in to the city. Went to the DFO, Crowns casino and the exhibition centre on the first day followed by Queen Vic market and the Mel museum the next. Queen Vic was the cleanest, organized and welcoming wet market I've been to! Aside from harvests (Which were really fresh and cheap) and poultry (in a separate building), they have rows of stalls selling souvs, clothes and other random stuffs. Had fish and chips for lunch at the food hall while leeching on the wifi :) Mel museum was worth my visit because of this particular exhibition where they have a video showing the labour process (baby)! It's more of a sci centre + discovery centre, all in place, fun to spend half a day there.

Saturday full day to Great Ocean Road! And here I say: Whoever's still living and know what's a coastline MUST visit the GOR! The scenery is breathe-taking! 2 days road trip there would be much favored! it's worth revisiting! Anyway, my tour group members was great! With me coming alone, there're 3p from Philippines, 2 ladies and an old couple from Ireland and the HK sisters. I was the youngest hence all the attention and well-treatment :P The guide (damn, I forgot his name) was an awesome chap who can drive and tour-guide at the same time, the whole day! I v-comd him and never see him yawned or sighed even once. Great man! Got back to hostel late night and found a new roommate, names' Glen from UK and I learned that Yuki is leaving for Gold Coast, good for her that she found a jap travel buddy.

Met up with bro and his gf on Sunday at Queen Vic then her aunt drove us to the Essendon DFO. Bought a Ralph lauren polo @$39 and Rivers Jeans @$27! Big sale and thus temptation everywhere! End the day with a dinner with aunt, bro and his gf's aunt and her daughter. 2 more new room mates when I got back to the hostel, Aus kids who were in Mel for some work shadowing thing, Glen and I find them REALLY Irritating: talking about partying, drinking alone in the room and proud to be 'grown up'! Was expecting monday to be a tiring day and indeed it was! Had brunch with bro in the morning and brought them around the city, in search for the pizza shop that aunt mentioned. Broke off from them 2 and head towards St Kilda area, searching for ideas for souvenirs on the way. Farewell to Glen (He's got a campervan with his fren Tom and planning to jus wander off somwer, cheers!) As for myself, Tasmania! By sea!

Cold daooooooo....

Brrrrr... Weather's gettin really chilly in mel. and freaking dry, must drink more waterrr!

Went to Dandenong instead of Warragul on Tues cuz my guess was Warg would be just like any other town. Dandenong was a blend of India, Afgan, Northen China and Turkey. Lots of interesting to see and cheap goods to shop! I got a beanie for just $2! There was a shopping centre as well, very large (3-storey) for a mall in a small town, more like a mini city cuz they have EVERYTHING. Short afternoon lunch visit before I head back and this time I would definitely not screw up the train ride, train was 28mins late though.

It rained from dawn to dusk the next day and I stayed indoors :( Did some ironing to keep my hands warm while watching DVDs. About to set off to stay in the city and Great Ocean Road Tour! Please be kind on me, weather.

Let's go to the City~~~!

2011-05-09T08:23:00.003+08:00

After 3 days in Mel, pretty much settled in, except the urban life. It took me 3 days to understand the public transport, eating habits and weather. Visited Pakenham town on Fri to have lunch and do some shopping. A beautiful town that's busier than Garfield, shopping malls and cafes spread near the train station (and the furthest station with metro to the city). Love small towns like these, peaceful and quiet, with everything you need within 1km, they even have horseracing tracks! Here comes the highlight of the day: Was on the Vline back, that darn station crew led me on the wrong train! Since the time of departure matches, I didnt doubt her much. I felt something wrong when the train's not stopping after 15 mins (supposed timing) and it goes on till Dandenong! LoL, it's ehading to the city! Got off and on the other Vline train, it was 4pm and I didn't know if my ticket is valid for peak hours. Then came the owned2x, I actually missed my stop and end up in Longwarry! Here's the problem: they didn't announce the train station (which they did on my 1st ride) and nor do the doors open by themselves, thus I assumed the train stopped for some other reasons (changing tracks, etcs). Sucker... It was rather dark when I finally got off Garfield and walk the 2k plus back home.

Finally, Mel city here I come! Adrian dropped me off at Pakenham :) where I had my 1st metro ride to the city (thanks for his myki card as well). Was a long ride, about an hour 0.0, thats like JE to Changi. Got off at Flinders and visited Fed sq for the tourist info centre and idle around to watch the street perf. Great weather for a walk into the heart of the city. Marveled by the skyscrappers, shops and vehicles, this is the city I'm talking about! Took the "arcade and lanes" route based on a paper guide and finished almost a third of the city centre. Met gugu for dinner at box hill and visited Tzu chi @Melbourne. Most of the volunteers were of my age? some slightly older, uni students. The elders offered me to stay for veggie soup (which was incredibly delicious!) Had a quick chat with people and left for dinner (after being half-full). Gugu thought I would miss home food and brought me to a Malaysian restaurant with mostly... chinese cuisine, wasnt so bad, most chicken rice stalls should be ashamed of themselves when I can find an applaudable plate of chicken rise in a foreign land. Thanks aunt for the ride home, very long 1hour journey on the dark freeway.

Pretty much the same thing happened on Sunday with certain changes. I set off earlier and it was raining when I reached the city. Sat down watching the commuters go with some hot croissant and tea. There was some mother's day walk going on that day, in a rainy weather?I manged to book my GOR trip then off for another walk in the city. Hollan many times and the darn GPS wasn't working but still managed to find my way to the great State library where the famous La Trobe sat. Besides that its all asian muggers, as expected when you visit any library. The chinatown was quite boring, not much happening on a mother's day sunday. The rest of the evening was again with gugu for dinner (at an Italians) where we had a meaningful conversation over religion and philosopy. I got a free ride home again :P really thanked her for that.

I think I'm not gonna bother her again as it'd be taxing on her car petrol and time. Anyways, I lost quite alot of weight too, maybe because the body's going into hibernation mode and used the fats to keep the itself warm :) And the long walks... So far so good in Oz, just hate the cold dry air which gave my nose HELL.

Garfield Walk

2011-05-05T14:42:00.003+08:00

The weather's getting chilly these days, it was great to be outdoors with even a faint of sunlight rays. As aunt put it, Melbourne skies always looked cloudy and gloomy at this time of the year but it just wont rain that easily.

Had a long long walk yesterday, 4 hours? 5-6km? Garfield was a nice and peceful town, all quiet, you can even trace a child's cry from the rows of beautiful houses. I visited the bakery for a meat pie and custard tart, $7.20! Of course it had to be tasty! Then went on to the convenience store to see what's on the shelves in this lonely town. I had a pleasant surprise when I got to know that the shopkeeper was from east timor? What are the chances (meeting a chinese or Singaporean is common in AUS) of meeting someone in a faraway place from home, who can converse in 3 different languages that I know of (aside from my family, relatives and some friends) Anyway, bought some Hot Chips (which are thicker & larger Fries) and left with a warmed heart. After walking around the small town for a while, making rounds and turns, deicided to head back from this recce trip. It began to drizzle on the way home and yes I was shivering in the cold until a white lab caught my attention. It just hopped out of one of the bushes and looked at me before darting towards the direction I was heading. Maybe it just wanted to play? (hide & seek) And so it "led" me all the way back to the farm and left after awhile, nice townfolks even the animals were so eager to take you around (I just named the dog Garfield :P).

Very exhausted after the walk, msg'd Adrian about me skipping dinner and off to sleep (its abt 4pm?) Fairly good day of exploration with many things happened, would be better without the rain. Earlier that day, I was mowing grass and doing some simple chores (replacing rat poison and unloading some stuff). Hence I was drained and managed to Zzz in seconds.

Decided to take a break for today, doing some simple household chores and do reasearch on my plans for the next few days. Weekends are coming and I want to visit the main attractions of Melbourne city! Plus, mother's day's coming and I do not want Adrian to fret over entertaining me over mother's day celebration.

Welcome To Melbourne!

2011-05-03T08:33:00.003+08:00

Woohoo! Finally! Mel Aus! Touched down 2nd May morning and had a n extremely tiring day because of a couple of reasons.

Spent some time in the airport, around the tourist info booth and finding phone booths to call my aunt (none worked as they don't accept coins, wth right?). End up just skybusing to town and figure out something. Took a walk along Flinders st all the way to Federation sq... with all my luggage (reason) then hop onto the free city tram for 1.5 rounds. Bused to this place called The Pines shopping centre to meet up with aunt to have lunch. After which she drove (thank God!) me around: her house and work place. Lastly to Adrian's house which we took some time to figure out even with the GPS that aunt just bought. It was a vast and beautiful place with some cattles and other animal resisdents (a goat, swallows, wild chickens and spiders). Had a guided tour around the house (including details like where are the spoons and food storage). Had a quick and simple dinner while chatting till lights out. I was exhausted and dozed off after seconds! Did nothing much? Let's trace back abit...

I was on the Emirates flight to Mel the night before where I met this girl, Sam from London who is a lne backpacker and... had a kind of phobia? Don't know if phobia is the word to use but she had horrible past experience flying hence the trauma? Anyway, she sat up all straight, grabbing the front seat and had teary eyes. I can't help but notice her trembling hands holding on to her inhaler while constantly looking around. Even during mid flight terbulance, she would stop whatever she's doing and do mindless clicking on the screen (with shaking hands). We had a chat after she'd calmed down and it surprised me that she's been travelling since Dec 10. Travelling as in no going home, tourist in several countries since DEC 10, thats 5 months with an average of 1 flight trip per months? Given her condition, Respect! Her reason for goin on: meeting strangers and fellow backpackers. I do have to admit I was very nervous about the trip until I met her. I guess this was arranged to motivate myself to "enjoy"my trip. And so.. I end up not having any sleep which brings me back to my first night in Mel. Knock out after staying awake for ~48hours.

Adrian left for work before I woke up this morning. Had some cereals and off to work. Even though its quite chilly in the morning (esp in the suburbs), it becomes a perfect combi when you get yourself under the sun. Raked up the dried leaves, sccop some dung and some cleaning and dumping. Was quite relaxing and I get to plan my day flexibly. Tried to tame the cattles but failed. They weren't shy or afraid of me considering it's my first time with them, almost touched 1 of the cattles but she startled when I opened my palm. It was pretty cool to have them approach me while I just sit there fiddling with my phone.

Awesome days to come I hope, plan to spend the weekends out... erh no, I haven't done any planning, waiting for people to invite me for trips! hah!

Great Departure

2011-05-01T17:45:00.003+08:00

It's finally May 1st! Long awaited day is here... Feelings? Both excited and anxious. I just realized its my 1 trip out of Asia (from what I can remember) alone! Busy with packing, planning and researching for this day. Also met up with all my close friends for meals and chats before I leave.

Hope this is going to be what I expected from the month worth of read up. Mum kept annoying me with possible kidnapping cases and health issues. Appreciate it but PLEASE let nothing of such sort happen to me (and all the travelers out there). She also kept bugging about bringing more clothings and supplements. Have to travel light with tight budget as this is a warm up/ test before any other greater adventures in the future.

Just got my new phone btw, a Galaxy SL! Still figuring out how to use it effectively. It's gonna be favourite handheld throughout the trip. Aside from that, its all about instincts and social skills.

Will blog from Mel if possible... Peace

Ipoop'd!

2011-04-27T23:57:00.003+08:00

Spend the entire evening clearing out songs that I don't even hear in my Ipod. Songs from Ivan's ipod, XiaoLim's Mac and Boss' HDD, making up a butt load of 50gb songs. My 1gb Hard drive that crashed last June made me realised one can never keep every single thing and not to say for eternal! The most important lesson: Life is about learning to lose and just sucking it up!!!

3 more days to my grand trip... Please let me stay healthy. I was kinda worried cuz it rained this afternoon during my run, stupid Sgweather... 1 moment sun, the next rain like mad.

Post ORD crash ($)

2011-04-26T23:54:00.002+08:00

Damit... Spent almost $100+ today

1. NTU Medical Checkup - $28

2. BBQ with BMT friends - $25

3. Kenna summon by Cisco for parking illegally - $70?

Bro suggested to appeal since elections are coming lol? I think I'll just pass and pay obediently since it doesn't cost me any demerit points (even if it does, i think i'll use some1 else's points reserve)

Tiring day mainly because of all the expenditure. Recced NTU with Boss this morning and at the same time complete our medical checkup. NTU seemed big on the map but actually quite small considering that you only visit the non-hall areas. Asked Jeslina (& her friend whom I numpangd) and Shirley about the delicacies in NTU, mostly directed to C1 & C2 which is (according to Boss) the artisans dining area (he expected the $2 meal for peasants). Had Jap and Boss treated me to Xiao Long Bao which is just so so.

Spent the evening with BMT boys at Aloha Changi chalet. If any1've been there, its... like a row of haunted house with bbq pits and a pack of cats, 8 of them in fact. To be honest, the gathering quite dull maybe because we haven't seen each other for a long time. I'd prefer just a bbq or a nights out in town for a get together, economical and time efficient.

Please don't make me spend any more money before my grand trip... Looking forward to it! (not as a peasant)

The return of the ME

2011-04-24T19:31:00.003+08:00

After 2 years of national service, I've decided to revive my blog. Deserting it for a long time was intentional as it can save me lots of trouble filtering what to blog about during the 2 years in army (they are actually quite effective in hunting down bloggers who blog about ns life!) However, as a civilian today, my life would be more than seeing green and listening to bullshit!

This log (after nearly 2 years) will be primarily on what I've learnt and choices made over the months. Honestly, NS isn't as bad as many people think, well... maybe that's because I've got a better posting? 2 years of your youth sacrificed: For myself, I gained quite a number of things!

1. A broader social network

They say while serving, you can meet sorts of people from all trades and background. I'd like to thank these people for teaching me the meaning of life and how the world goes round. From the humble high ranking officers, down-to-earth colleagues and loyal delinquents. Can't be for sure if they'll remember me in 10 years time but I wish I could tell them how influential (+ve & -ve) their actions and words are to me! Just hope that they are the group of friends whom I can classify under "worth meeting up for a meal" in the long run. Never know if they might be my neighbor's relative, colleague's son, friend's spouse, etc?

2. How the working society works

This actually come in 2 parts: one of office politics and the other on awareness. I can't believe I'm actually praising the government for giving me 2 years (which is ridiculously long) of pre-work life experience. No worry of being sacked nor the need to compete for promotion since, like what every1 said: serve n Foff! I've seen how people can rise to backstabbing, the harsh reality of having to lose out in work opportunities because of qualifications (yes,the cert society). There's CG+C no 100% by right methods of doing things and every1 in the office knows this! Which brings me to the part on awareness. I've given myself a double confirmation on my own character: peace-loving. I'd say there's no 1 in my office I'd offend or mistreat, it's just my way of staying self-protective. What if one day he got your 把柄 or change to have you as a scapegoat? Despite this, I've learnt to not 'get eaten' and taken advantage of by maintaining a certain level of authority 'aura'.

3. My class 3 driving license!

Monetarily, this is the most fruitful gain! I've saved $1000+ for the little blue card not mentioning the experience on road and knowing my way around (fuel is expensive!)

4. From J to K

There'll be no better morale booster than watching some pretty plastic girls performing catchy songs. Initially I've paid 0 attention to them until that became the only thing that's the only thing on TV 8 to 5 daily. With every1 around me talking about it, it is impossible to just ignore it, hence the outcome. Furthermore, Kpop has taken over Jpop on the most played playlist in my Ipod (in terms of number of singles). Some awesome songs will be added to my piano repertoire in the future!

5. Pick and Drop

I don't know why its so hard to keep an interest alive! How is it possible my time spent on Variety shows > dramas/movies? Tennis and running over basketball? There's no computer game that can consume my attention for more than 2 hours! Nevertheless, I've gained interest in the most awesome things like travelling and teaching!

(6. I learnt that I've an sensitive stomach which can cause heartburns! All happened after my wisdom tooth surgery)

I believe these are the highlights and I'm sure there are more!

Some updates on life: Been pretty busy with trip planning. Since i can't join Shawn and Smurf on their epic journey to Europe, I decided to path out my own mini adventure in Australia. After which its Korea with my ex-colleague/senior. Budgeting, itinerary, contacts and packing list... so many things to think about! But GOSH I LOVE IT! Trust me, its exciting just by thinking and planning for a trip! Also spend some time with friends whom I've hardly been in touch with. Physical training for the overseas trips (need to stamina to run away from danger and strength to work). Last but not least, read read read, filling up my general knowledge vault essential for socializing!

That's all for now! Love myself~!

I shall grind on "... ..." the next 21 months

2009-07-05T21:20:00.002+08:00

I've laid out a plan... to be done after work and weekends
I've not started on any... most of them need dedication (time)
I have to start saving $$... for my dream comp
I've failed to manage my $$ flow... eating out and cinemas

I'm playing Chocobo's Dungeon 2... too much time
I started reading newspapers (o.O)... too much time
I continued playing wow... too much time
I was hoping driving lessons start tml... too much time

I... ... ...
Wanna do something useful to pass time!

Update on life... went to watch ice age 3 and transformers with the dudes. Prefer IA3 coz the storyline is better and funny too. Esp the helium gas part.. lol, duno why I laughed like fuk then, even though its not THAT funny. Spent lotsa money on food, transport, entertainment, etc. Oh, after 2 days of grinding and questing, my din finnaly hit 60, max for now till I get BC. Been watching gossip girl and heroes. No mood for jap drama these days.

Back from 'cyber-break'!!!

2009-07-01T23:20:00.002+08:00

Have this dunno how-to-describe feeling to blog... todae. Not been updating abt life for 2 months plus, since Im off to Tekong. Reason is... limited access to int, book in book out, spend more time out with frens and family instead of sitting infront of comp.

Well... its different now! Gotta stay out and posted to a place damn near home! Woots! Banzai SAF!

1st of all, I love my unit and cant wait to go for driving course. Lifes' pretty fast paced and i wanna log the random yet memorable things that happened. Out for dinner with rome, Gab and NA today at Aston's then SC mac. Talk kok all the way and started talking abt random pple... guess thats wad guys do wen they meet up? no more soccer or games. For me... always the laugh-er, keeps laughing, occasionally contributing to some jokes. We came to this topic abt best friends/buddies for life. Ever thought of who these Best-ies are? 1 closest to you or a clique who always look forward to gatherings. 1 way to know... perhaps it'd be those/the 1 who're gonna be ur best man/ best buddies during your wedding. Its the day where u must have these closest frens know abt.

Nth more to say, i need money, been spending alot on random things. Darn Hardisk cost me half a months allowance. Mum and Dad are back from jkt after like 1month+... miss home cooked food. Congrats mum for successfully learning how to make martabaks, on the 26th try :) Oh, since Gabs' in the same situation as me, we decided to take up some language course, 1st thing that came to both of us... German, jus sounds cool to know GERMAN.

The director mus b murdered or smth during the last 2 epis, coz the storyline was horrible, like he jus wanna wrap up everything in 2 hours. Even 5 year olds can ting of so much more alternatives to how the show should end. Fnobrain show lol. Im sticking to Jap and Us shows... Cleary, on the remaining days.

Longest Qing Ming...

2009-04-11T00:31:00.003+08:00

Okok... As promised, I'd like to log abt my qing ming trip in Hainan, China

Arrived in KL via plane, got quite a cheap air fare which is only $80 to and fro SIN-KKL, its better than taking bus, waste time (its jus $20 diff)... Bus-d to KL central for LRT ride to meet Yeejie near her Office, near Ampang Park. At the central, got tis girl asking me for donations... to purchase a chair for the old folks, lol? I'll pass the fact that she mistook me as a malay... she speaks mandarin in a super weird accent, with this undulating tone. Got totally irritated and jus rejectd after her 10mins talk. Yeejie treatd me to a hell nice dinner, curry noodles. She said we're lucky to get seats, since we're quite early, arnd 5pm, its super crowded during lunch hours. I buy that story since the noodle's really nice. Got back to 5shu's hse and rest for the dae, had an early nite, 8+.

Out early in the morning to Mid Valley, numpang on 5shu's car to Ampang station, hes off to make my visa then to work. Had the whole day free till 6 wer i'll meet yeejie again for dinner. Window shopping for some time till lunch. Msg came from yeejie... "try out the prawn mee at xxx restaurant..." so, I did go and it was fabulous! I was there at 11.15am (still in preparation), came back at 11.40am, the restaurant was half seated with hungry customers! After lunch went to walk arnd again, wanted to buy tis book from MPH budden its kinda old liao (last copy). Wanted to buy some nice clothings too budden plan to save it for better deals in Hainan. Went to coffee beans to slack, read RD and have tea. The rest of the evening was in the cinema, myself. yup... myself. Too much time till 6pm, i'm not gonna walk anymore nor eat. Askd Leehom and Uu to come watch budden they'r quite busy with school/tuition/project. Yongjie did thought of comin to MV but she said I should go explore myself. Watchd Watchmen since its like 1 of the longest show among the boxoffice and I hvnt watched it. fairly nice, the cinemas' quite comfy and the tixs' onli rm7! End the day at 5shu's hse, dinner cancelled coz dinner was prepared, but yeejie still da bao wanton mee for me. Had an even earlier nite since we've to depart at 6 the next morning.

Cabd in a mercs to LCCT, met up with the other 2 uncles and grandma. Its a freakin long queue at the check in counter 0.0! Many pple goin to Hainan Dao to shao mu i guess... 5shu was like greeting and socialising with 80% of the queue, seems like he got a wide connection of frens, esp hainanese. The plane was freaking packed, I dun even get to sit in my assigned seat. In my impression, it was a rough landing, almost bit my own lips. Surprisingly the weathers great, cloudy, ~23 degc, its like the whole place is airconditiond. Soon, got to realise the 3 main problems of Hainan 1. Smokers everywhere 2. Vehicles horn like free 3. Locals with bad attitude... 1st destination was the kampong near QiongHai town (15mins journey) haha, its an authentic Kampong for heavens! Even the shit smells different and yes... shits' everywer, from animals of course, had to watch wer im stepping. Spend the whole afternoon in this so called Ancestors' hse. For dinner, got a treat from 5shu's frens... damit, duno they lived with such a diet... 1st dish: Zhu jiao 2nd dish: 1 whole steamd chicken 3rd dish: Suckling pig 4th: more meat 5th: finnaly some vegi, seriously oily 6th: some nuts and vegs. Had a bad feeling abt meals in Hainan since that day.

2nd day was rather tiring. Went arnd the 'home town' area to shao mu, total of 14 graves, we finished like 11 in a day, leaving the last 3 for the next day. Great discovery, theres my greatgrandfatheres', then his dad, and his grands'... yes, his greatgrands'. Even went to this really old 1, dating back to 1800s, cant believe they actually found that! Another cool ting is the way pple here shao mu. Its the normal procdrs, re paint, got rid of wild grass, burn incense, burn ppr money then pray. They've this additional ting of lightning fire crackers at the end. Bet u cant find this in SG, its still quite rare even in msia. In china, fire crackers were sold everywer. Got really bothered by the sound, imagine... 14 rolls of it in 2 daes... freakin defeaning! Lunch and Dinner at the Kampong... damn right its more ba ba (foily meat) I had beer for every meal coz i dun tink their water is safe for consumption even though its boild.

Its the 3rd day in china and the actual Qing Ming day. Had bfast i the hotel as usual, set off to kampong for the last part of shao mu. And so, its fire crackers and more cleaning and burning. Just to be more specific, the 2 daes were not as easy as it sounds, we've to walk through the woods, bushes, soil out shoes, pass streams, in a rainy weather, to various graves. Its totally disordered, a grave (some1s) ccould be standing right beside u as u track. Had more meat for lunch. Many relatives came to join us, got back to the hotel in the evening. And damn its raining, cant go shopping. Used the rest of the night to slack at lobby, read bk n mp3 since my roommate tuckd in early.

Apparently, we did went for some sightseeing, well... more off excursion. 5shu was in this hainanese guild in KL so the group happend to organize a trip to this famous temple, forgot wads the name but its the 1 that features the goddess of the sea (Ma zhu), taiwanese pple believe in this alot. Went there to pray and see see, its said that the temple is so called the main temple and there are others all around asia ( from wad i know theres 1 in indonesia and another in taiwan). Before we left, lit 2 flong rnds of fire crackers, 1 last for like 3mins+. The trip there was a torture, 2hrs+ bus ride for 1 way... worsen things, i made the wrong descision of not bringing my ipod! DAMIT! Its freaking boring and waste of time. Sat with this fat reporter and his fat ass is making the whole journey...straining, I've to give him like 1/3 of my seat so that he can stop fidgeting. And those fkin cars horn like no1s business .Does it seem like u socre a point wen u horn at a car u see? They freaking horn as they like, hands rdy at the center of the steering wheel. Curse the drivers, they'll jus die if they ever do that in Sg or Msia. Had a slightly decent dinner at a hotel restaurant. The Qiong Hai Mayor treated all the 'foreign friends' who wer back for qingming.

Its my shopping day, went to kampong in the morning to have the last gathering meal with the relatives. Set out to explore by myself in the afternoon. Its always fun to get lost lol. Ventured through streets and more streets. Full of cars, rside vendors, locals. Once again, damn them for smoking and horning so much. Walk through this market palce, song bo... cheap stuffs up for bargain. Bought few shirts and shorts, a pair of sandals, some sox and a cap. The food was great too, esp the mantou, its omglicious! 3 for 1Yen! At the end of day went to supermarket to get some local snacks and food (gifts for all my dear cousinz, nieces and nephews) Total spendings for the dae=400RMB wich is like less than $100 bah.

Early flight the next dae. Got back to KL and rushed for a transfer to SG. My flight was supposd to be late at nite, arnd 10pm. Somehow, theres another flight scheduled 2 hrs after my arrival from Hainan... so Decided to catch that flight instead (with an additional fee of RM50)
That ends my trip to Hainan, actually still got quite alot of things that i wanna sae, but kinda forgot... and I tink the log is getting kinda long :P

2009-03-24T23:32:00.003+08:00

Part of my definition of 'Enjoying life' iz goin to places with dirt cheap,excellent food and goods of average quality... to the extend that u wont even think of how much they cost compared to your income/allowance

SG is definately not the place, for now...
Msia is the closest paradise fo far, imba food, cheap hangouts. Went to City Square@ JB ytd. Watchd movie, SF: Legend of Chun-Li... I'd say 4/10? Storyline sux, in-film time frame is too long. Acting waz average, Fighting scenes pulld it up even though the 'boss killing' scene sux, even 5yrols noe that she wuld use the fire-ball (she mastered it but nv use it even once against the villian frys) Oh btw... my popcorn combo cost rm8.5 and movie tix rm6... lawl

Dinner at jln WAF, had sting ray, sotong and oyster ommlts + 2 drinks... guess wad its ~$5 onli lol... Nex time trying the muslim kambing soup (mutton soup) and satay :)

Here comes my 1 month plan... GET OCCUPIED.
The list includes:

Tidy room... it gets mesd up 12hrs after tidying up.
Tune to healthy habits (slp early, wake up early, eat healthy)
Drink water, reminder: drop by kitchen to drink if mind is empty at any second
Few imp things for now...

Dear wise brain, please guide me... show me some vision? In my dreams? lol

Serve! Smash! Volley!

2009-02-25T20:24:00.002+08:00

Woohoo~~~!!! I love tennis!

Know i've not blog for quite some time coz lazy to log in and log. Some updates of life...

Been tennis-ing alot, arnd 5 times per week. It started wen Sam jio-d me to play 1 morning... used hanjie's racket that I borrowed 1 year ago (o.O) Sam taught me all the basics then after a few sessions, can play quite smoothly le. Its very horrible at the start coz I kept using wrist str (used to badminton strokes), oso screw up the angle, 3 ball casualties, flew out of court, lucky got em back. Hardly any stray balls in the previous sesisons. What i like abt tennis... 1)Get to run alot, moving all parts of the body 2)The sound wen the ball hits the racq hard! 3)Not very difficult to learn except serving... Shit part is u've to pick up balls -.-

Wen not outside, will learn some com stuff, programming and M-flash. Trying to programme new cards for Wagic and play on PSP, took lots of time to type the command, edit-try-edit-try-touchup-try. M-flash de things very difficult without tutorial... and haven really plan on wad to make after mastering it, probably a game. Doing some homebrew games for DS, if possible.

Lastly, cooking lol... Curry wz a success! Actually not very difficult oso, jus the last part, cannot allow a 'hard' layer to form, must stir properly. Gotta learn more jia chang cai jus in case hav to go overseas n live alone... that reminds me of A level results... :(... Dad kept saying... dun worry, no problem de, no matter wad jus accept it... ... confirm not kou shi xin fei lo... I knew he expects alot from me... still say until so comforting.

Keep it real for now, enjoy for the last 10 days, heard results out on 6th March... Feel like jus goin overseas for this period and not knowing the outcome... Gd luck bah...

Happy CNY 09!!!

2009-02-09T23:20:00.002+08:00

15 days of cny, lots of fun, lots of memories, lots of hongbaos!

On the zeroth day of new year...
Da shao chu derh! Cleaned the altar, removed the dusty stuffs on it. Damit... its the 2nd time im doin the cleaning coz previous years, reached pagoh wen its chuxi night. hanjie theyll still sarca us(the guys) that they'd love to help and clean but too bad, by tradition only guys can do -.- had de 3 bao (chicken, duck, pork) dish for reunion dinner (plus other vegs, fish, etc) Last year like more shiok, got steamboat... Played mahjong after dinner, 5shu taught me his vers of counting $$$. Formulating it is should be:
(No. of 'hua' u hav (consider ALL 'hua' tiles)+No. of gungs if any+No. of Big tile pungs) X 4, then round up to nearest 10 + 50 which is a base independant value, lastly X (2 to the power of No. of 'Tais')
Very very complicated in the beginning but got used to it after that... Btw its sunday, got tian cai cong*3! Every1 gathered to watch it and its rolf all the way till 11.59.50pm then countdown. This year not alot of fireworks, but got freakin lots of fire crackers. Arsoles! 1am+ le still play with em.

On the 1st day of new year...
Yosh... new year new hopes. Woke up quite late coz its 4am+ wen i turnd in, have to look after the candles... can call it as shou shui (guard sleep?). Main angbao collection day, mahjong and cards, snacks, drinks and talk kok. Thats all for day 1... Oh we played Xia ping ABC at nite ( anyhow guess ABC)... its goes like tis, a chinese word appears on the screen behind ur partner, u've to use broken/lousy angmor to describe it to ur partner. ur not allowed to say the direct translation nor act it out... ur partner hav to guess the chinese word. Nice nice game, there must b chemistry between the 2 players to score. Describe-r must be creative, using words of common sound or meaning to hint. Whereas Guess-er needs to be... a good listener and pool of vocab. My 1st round wz with chuin, onli managed to guess 4-5 qns, above average le. Leijie and hweejie pawns all, 7.

On the 2nd day of new year...
Went Muar to bai nian and lunch. Kawaii niece zhizhi wz really obsessd with my DS, she wz damn sad wen the batt went flat. Mayb should giv the DS to her wen im sick of it...soon. Evening went to play badminton and bball. Wore wrong shoe, the fake Onizukatiger lol... 0 cushioning and terrible soles, make my feet ache during dinner. At nite playd all the TCCCC games, got dong zhi tempo (verb tempo) then also xia ping ABC. Waz really entertaining tis round coz its after 12 le, to keep the noise lvl down, we actd the word out instead of describing it. Super LOL wen xi and fei (twins) played... xi had to act out the word 'ha ha jing' (laughing mirror). The 'ha ha' was easy as xi jus did the laughing action... then its the 'jing' lol, she put her face rite infront of feis' then 'waved' an invisible glass pane infront! Thats so creative la! Heng heng they're twins so can act it out easily.

On the 3rd day of new year...
Nothin much, cards, mahjong, party games again. Badminton and bball in the evening, tis time went barefoot... surprisingly, better performance. Got back to SG at nite.

Aunt dju n granny came to our place at nite for dinner... more angbaos :)

On the 12th day of new year...
Out for movie, Love matters at JP... Freakin scam lol. The entertaining parts comes abit from the content and random humour... The tickler is the retarded actor benny and the malaysian chinese accent. Seriously, I think benny is some kinda assd up actor... no, hes not an actor, all his expression r so freakin fake! Rome waz rolf wen he showed up, he even shifted his seat to some empty rows of seats to laugh n swear by himself. I'd say the show is onli 3 out of 5 stars? Storyline sucks and half the cast can fark off... Its still an average comedy though... Had fish n co for dinner and dessert at some shop in the new JP wing.

On the 13th day of new year...
Bainian at Jenny Chua hse + meet up with some 4E3 pple. Damn smurf... nv mention the details abt the gathering then still call me in the morning to ask u comin onot...

Experiencing the land of thousand smiles: Part 3

2009-01-18T22:56:00.004+08:00

Call me simple minded or anything, I ALWAYS thought that Bangkok iz another city like Jakarta and KL, warm, humid and dusty. However, thats a nono! The temp is arnd 16~20+ degrees C wen we were ther. Dusty iz kinda true coz of the zomg traffic jams. I dun tink i got sweat much that 3 days.

Day 6
Continueing from Day 5, arrived at BKK airport at 12am+. No choice have to sleep in airport. Found a nice corner with 3 rows of benches (no cushion), mp3s out, heads on bag and Zzz. Initially, managed to go into the 'sleep' state budden it starts to get freakin cold. Regretted nv wear jeans, shoes and brought any blanket. Roge and smurf cant slp at all so they went to explore the airport, finding ways to keep warm (Like beer, hot instant zok and stepping outdoors which wz suprisingly makes things worst). I joined them after several attempts to find the perfect posture to slp on the cold, hard bench. Changed to shoes and had 1 of the best cup noodles in my life! Black Pepper PORK!!! Thats damn rare in SG! Combd the whole arrival hall, looking for wad to eat for bfast... actually oso got other pple really sleeping in the airport and the diff between em n us iz they've brought pillows n blanket! We passed our time walking around pushing the trolley and yes... its 7+ le. Simple bfast... redbull n pocky LOL. I manged to 'auto' slp for an hour or so till 8am coz too tired. Transfer came n brought us to the hotel.

Bangkok... city of dirt cheap clothes and food. For real, we shopped for 3 days, nv visit the temples or chinatown (in the initial plan). Mostly for clothes, clothes and more clothes. After checking in, changed and go gai gai near the downtown area, its thiz famous area wer MBK, Siam sq, Siam center, Siam discovery stood. MBK iz holy shyt big, loads of stuff, gadgets, clothes and food!
Lunch at this cheena restaurant, had noodles, rice and cheap dim sum so arnd $5+ each!woohoo! Every1 very tired coz of insufficient slp and so decide to nap till nite then go out again.

Famous nite market... Suan Lum nite bazaar! 2nd to Chatuchak weekend market, many many stalls and a huge food center. Fried rice n fruit shake again for dinner, their fruit shakes ownes coz its cheap n oishii. No joke, the place is really big, finished 1 area in 40 mins+ wen there were like 10+ zones? I got my new adidas wallet for a cheap 100B lawl, the lady even use a ligther to burn the leather wallet to prove that its 'genuine'! The rest got some berms, shirt and random stuff. Oh, roge got his beloved magic pants there, i got 1 for myself too :)

Day 7
Every1s gettin sluggish... Zzz for more than 8hrs, waking up betwn 9 to 10am, it cant be the hotel bed. Anywae, our plan for the day iz platinum and pratunam plaza/center and other malls near that area. Cab again coz its hell cheap, arnd 70B even wen theres traffic jam. Tink the 1st mall waz platinum center? Its kinda empty... mayb we're too early. Hopd over to the next building wer the spree starts. Theres this market place with lots of clothes, local brand and designs. More like an outlet wer they sew and do final touchups there b4 selling/ importing in bulks. Usually they'd sell 3 or more at cheaper prices. Got me army pantsu there yeah.

Visited another 'market place', abit high class, inside a buidling but got many stalls, 7 storeys. Top floor waz a food court wer the foodz damn cheap for such a nice ambience. Unfortunately shawn wz feeling sick so he missed lots of imba dishes and the shoppin. Last shoppin destination wz Platinum, tis is a must-go, must-not-miss, no-go-you-regret place. We got most of our gifts and clothings ere. Comd the building from the 3rd floor up then back down, taking arnd 2-3 hrs. Got tis shop selling all the famous chang beer, coke singlets n Ts at imba low price. The boss wz an old lady who knows how to speak mandarin (mayb coz shes from ChiangMai? where most thai-nese live). Bought lots of shirt from her and got her name card, jus in case, mayb some dae, import n sell :P Oso lots of those shops selling locally designd Ts, some were nice, most were shyt, but who cares, they're quite cheap.

Shopd till 4+ and got damn tired le, decided to cab back hotel to rest and prepare for night activity. Dinner at a coffee shop near our hotel, had pork-organ meal at arnd 40B !!! Nite activity waz... dun wanna describe, its totally fukd up. B4 tucking in, got many food stuff from the MBK supermart, chuk and 10B red bulls lol, green curry and tom yam kung paste for mum.

Day 8
Last day in Thai le, IOW shopping! Went to MBK to look for gifts, sports Ts but unfortunately they're quite ex (still abit cheaper than in sg) Its a last minute decision to chiong back Platinum mall to do shoppind. Rush hour indeed, cabd thru the Tjam and chiong up the mall, trying to recall wer were the shops we saw the day b4. I tink i bought arnd 16 T-shirts? most for frens n family, only 4 for myself, not counting those for the bball dudes which were with smurf n roge. Its like amazing race, chiong here n there, shuffle thru the clothe hangers for nice Ts. In a nutshell, last day is for shopping and nth else, i tink we skipped lunch too.

Got to airport at arnd 2+ and makan 1st at this funny jap fastfood b4 checking in. we're trying to spam finish Baht in our possession b4 we zhaod back to SG so stop by at family mart to buy random food stuff. Damn funny during the baggage check, smurf almost got ownd by the officer, he wz carry 3 100ml bottles of redbull, the officer took it out n smiled which makes smurf kinda freakd. Then he took out another, then the last. Smurf abit panic n point at the bottle saying its 100ml. In the end the officer jus took out a zip-loc n stuffd em all inside. Jus wen he thought his precious 10B red bull gonna get chong-gongd lol.

3hrs plane back to SG, reached at arnd nite time le. This time no french dudes, got more pple though. Roge parents came to pick us up, b4 that we kinda sort out our stash at T1 arrival hall. Every1 staring at our heaps of clothes n food lol. Thai trip ended, safe, one piece!

Experiencing the land of thousand smiles: Part 2

2009-01-16T23:59:00.003+08:00

Phiphi island iz jus a distance away from the main 'phuket island'... 3hrs journey by sea cruiser. We joined a 'tour' intro'd by Rambo to phiphi island, cost around 1600B each person... EX indeed, can buy like 10 T-shirts lol. The trip includes boat ride on a luxury VIP cruise (fkin bullshit), lunch in phiphi island hotel, snorkeling and fish aquarium viewing.

Day 3

The French dudes in the fish aquarium

Imba pool at the phiphi island hotel

Beach View from hotel

Its very very early in the morning, rushed packing coz we decided to spend the nite on phiphi island and come back to Beachhouse only on the following nite. Left the large luggages in the hotel, brought a hand carry each with 2 sets of clothings. Same old shyt, shawn woke up damn early to stone in the toilet, can up to 45mins lawl! So I've to wake up even earlier than him, wear contacts and bathe. The pickup van came at around 7, we chiongd bfast coz very paiseh got other pple on the van waiting. Board the PHIPHI CRUISER at a port in Phuket Bay, 40km from phiphi island.

Got on the boat quite late le, top 'sunbatheing' deck fully occupied, other places oso lots of pple, onli got the indoor airconditiond room empty. After some time playing games indoor, got out to 'get' some sea breeze and water, at the 2nd level side decks. Every 30mins or so, got 1 speed boat passing by -.- sian diao, they chiong so fast and not very packed oso, dun mind if its a little more ex. Passed by several 'scenic' places, the boat slowd to let every1 take pics. Next stop iz a 'temporary' sea port (formde by a large boat) near this island. 1st went to this small aquarium to feed fishes. Its like a room, half dipped into the sea. Can stand in the pool, fishes would come in through the cages (very difficult to illustrate lol) Anywae, we're given bread to feed these little fishes swimming around our legs, cant manage to catch any, once your fingers dip inside, many come swarming to nimble on ur fingers -.-... We met a bunch of french guys, 7 of em, freaking noisy (more abt them later) After that went for snorkeling just beside the port. Water damn dirty... coral reefs not very gorgeous either. Gulp in a mouth of sea water, eyes and nose tio seawater due to the crap equipments that they provide. Feeling sucks, as though got a lots of super concentrated salt pile in your throat.

After like 30mins, reached phiphi island, went straight to the hotel restaurant to lunch. Got tom yam kung, some seafood, fried chicken and vegs, average ba... i waz thinking of buffet lunch since we payd so much for the package. 8 pple on our table, 1 angmor and his thai wife (wtf is with this angmors???) an angmor couple and 4 of us... eat 10 pple share :) Went to search for a place to stay after makan or else have to Zzz on beach or port le. Walk along the beaches, east to west of Phiphi Don. Got few 2 bed-room-chalet/resort type de, but its freaking small and creepy, price quite cheap but difference between aircon and fan is almost 2 times. Almost decide on 1 le but smth tells us to go explore somemore... bringing us to this other beach (Loh Dalam) wich is super happening lo! Angmornized, OBVIOUSLY... got many activities like banana boat and canoeing. And thers a freaking great hostel nearby... they happen to have 1 large room left, for family de. The pool is omg la, got bar, beachviewpoint... jus that the toilet is shared de... All for 1600B per nite!

Unpackd--->strip top--->suntan lotion--->chiong beach! Went to book the Phiphi leh boat trip with some sea gypsies then rent 2 canoes out to sea. Its low tide wen we set off, have to carry the canoe for some distance b4 rowing. Total distance abt 10-15km, out to the sea, mainly along the coasts. Me n shawn then... smurf n roge. Went to this huge rock where there were lots of crabs, oso saw jellyfish eggs and countless sea urchins nearer to the shore... Once capsized we're freakin screwd. After like 2 hrs, damn tired and thirsty le, lots of salt forming on our body, felt dry and cold. Waves were abit bigger and rough further from the coast...time for speeding osh! Stopped by at the crappy monkey beach b4 rowing back to wer we came from... its high tide then.

Had dinner at this 222B buffet restaurant. U can pick seafood and kebabs, they'll bbq for u. Oso got sushi and salad bar. The sashimi abit nan chi... roge told me to jus buang it or tio food poisoning. Only the salad, seafood and kebab worth the 222B. Buy some stuff from minimart and went to hotel pool to chill. The hotel really bwg, view gd, can get free show, some fire juggling/ breather from nearby restaurant. Room oso got damn nice balcony to slack and drink roges' instant goatkum mix lol! something to jiang huo.

Day 4

Roge Sleazin on the top deck

2nd day on phiphi, most of the time out at sea. We got an early reservation for boat tour with the sea gypsies. He took us to some of the more famous places like Maya Bay, Loh Samah Bay and Viking Cave (dun tink we got go james bond island). Stopped at Maya bay de beach for quite some time to explore. Got campsite there, same thing, angmornized. Went nearby to snorkle... its so much better than the place we 1st dipd. Waters' more clear, got more 'life' on the sea bed and more visible fishes. The nex snorkeling pt even more cool lool, got millions of sea cucumbers and colorful fishes... spotted a rare jelly fish, wz totally stunnd, look arnd for any of em b4 swimming away to tell the rest. Long boat ride wz damn fun, the kaizokuking (bow) seat is da best place sit for a longboat ride (no wonder luffy make that his captain seat!)... Like roller coaster, sway extreme left and rights... esp wen the waves very strong, can lift ur ass up. WOO!

Back to land after 3 hours, noon le and the beach sibei happening... got pple go for para sailing, banana boat and topless sunbatheing 0.0! Confirm angmor la! After packing, batheing and checkin out, lunch at a restaurant and walked arnd b4 boarding the ship back to phuket island. Got on the ship 1st and chop the top deck seats... front somemore. We look like retards sun batheing on the deck wen the ship wz still dockd. Total time under the sun till we reach is more than 3hrs... but i felt nth lool, json tio sun burnt on his stomach n arms (Some1 pls look out if i'm abit more tanned wen u see me :)) Btw we were on the same boat as those french guys again!

Reach phuket at abt 5 to 6+ le. Decided to go phuket town nite market explore. The taxi driver is DAMN imba! Totally crazy taxi, downslope still accelerate somemore, turning oso dun need brake de... checked his meter to see how fast he drive... guess wad, 0km/h!, its freakin spoiled! TP catch him le oso bwg lol. The nite market is confirm 'go le no regret' things and food... all nice and cheap! Combd the streets for a big haul, shirts and random items. Food wz imba, roge kept saying they got some secret sauce wen its obviously magi soy sauce. Sat and eat lotsa shyt and even dabao back to hotel. 1st time eating crickets, taste like... seaweed, grass with salt, pepper and some sauce lol. Actually wanna eat other insects, they got grasshopper, grubs, earthworms, cocoons and i tink its scorpion? Among the grasshopper pile still got 1 alive and moving gently 0.0! Got the same driver to drive us back... same old shyt la, 'hey hey hey, its time to make some crazy money, are you ready? here we go!' Spd on his speedmeterless taxi.

Back to hotel to eat, slack and bathe. Finally, i learnt how to play bridge :) play till 2+ then slp.

Day 5
Diz is a real short day coz we decided to wake up late since theres' not much of a programme. 10+ woke up and wash up jus in time b4 bfast ended @ arnd 11. Packed, leave luggage with hotel and go gaigai. walked for the whole noon at Jungceylon and i tink we skipped lunch, had some real nice icecream at cheap price. After leaving the mall, roge n shawn wen for massage, coz they felt like it. Me n smurf wanna go surf net but after like 30mins of searching, still dun have until we got to this shop located down an alley near patong beach.

Heard from Roge, the massage wz a real cool expirience. Coz got x-men do the massage, both of em tio x-men and they dun look xd until they admit it themselves. They (X-men) talkd abt the operation being hell expensive, simmi breast implanting, kachia diao the **** and removin adams' apple lol... Oh, then there wz this pair of damn horny Aussie beside em. They kept saying wanna see the x-men nips (he said 'i head lady boy's nips are very small and out of shape' LOL). Then they wanted happy ending massage service with real babes... the mamasan said its arnd 2000B, the Aussie somehow agreed and gonna pick 1 of em up at nite. Wad an ass, pray he nv tio HIV, or a x-men.

Leavin Phuket that nite for Bangkok. Got to airport early and slack arnd. Playd cards and tok kok at the really small airport. Damn imba, wen we got to the boarding gate... its those French dudes again!!! LOL? So qiao lo. They are so fked up lol. Each person (got 7 of em) took up a window seat each.

Thats all for phuket, to be continued... Day 6 wen we were in BKK airspace.

Experiencing the land of thousand smiles: Part 1

2009-01-15T20:52:00.011+08:00

Year 2009, 7th Jan... me, smurf(json), king(shawn) and roge(terry from xiaohaibuben) went to Thailand for the so called backpacking trip when its actually a holidae lol:)
There were basically 3 parts to the trip, Phuket(Patong), Phuket(Phiphi) and Bangkok
I'll try to log 1 part per day... and hopefully upload pics soon (some with me, some with shawn) Before starting, some info...
1SGD is around 23.5Baht... so 1000B is arnd 42.5sing
X-men is the how we call the tranz people in thai
Our trip is 80% free and easy
We onli noe how to say 2 thai phrases sawadikarp (Hi) and kopkumkarp (Thankyou)

Day 1

Streets of Patong

We met up at smurfs' hse in the morning to recheck everything and do last minute packing... Upload and synchro psp/nds games. Plane is arnd 1+ if im not wrong, so we touched down at phuket at arnd 2 to 3pm. Air Asia is not that bad, service is gd, its clean and on time... The landing wz quite smooth too.

We met our guide (supposed to fetch us de)... a guy named udom aka Rambo. He said he was once a muaythai boxer nicknamed Rambo... quit for a couple of years, married with a child and now a tour guide. Skinny and friendly person, brought us around to some 'land tour destinations'. 1st was some gem factory wer he said jus go there hav the free drink... then oso some retarded place to have seafood wen it wz actually 'dried seafood' (dried cuttle fish, fish floss and stuffs)... knn tio scammed. He also prepare some programmes for us, the phi phi cruise on the 3rd dae and ATV the next day... Actually got 7 land activities but we chose onli 1. There wz horse riding (boring), ATV (nv try b4), elephant ride (total scam), Bungee (no $$, 2000B per jump!), Shooting with real guns (we expect it to be cheaper in phiphi so nv go), Paintball (play b4 le and its quite ex), GO kart (go genting oso can play lol)...

Hotel at Phuket, Patong iz called Beach House Hotel, very cosy, very comfy, service is 4star. Dun have the habit of taking pics of hotel room so jus go on9 to find how it looks like. Sadly, its at Patong, famous for many many angmors, like almost 90% of the population in this area. This means bad news coz everything de price sky high lol. Go gaigai after unpacking and changing near the town area.Roge kept buying coconut wich is arnd 30B for the small 1 and 40B for the large 1, its like his remedy for his 'i think im ill' syndrome. Explore the streets, got lots of locals and wth... indians, selling goods ranging from shirts, pirated dvds, food and blingblings. Oso got freaking lots of food vendors and massage shops. Theres this road called Bangla road closed to vehicles and opened for pedestrians. Full of angmohs, bars, shops and x-men.

Had a ripped off dinner at a restaurant called Linda's Restaurant. The owner is a thai named Linda(Duh) married to a Swedish guy who oso owned a bar at Bangla road (We tried locating it after dinner but failed). Had Padthai, a thai style fried noodle meat of ur choice to go with it, Cant sae if its worth the money then till we had more padthai the nex few days. Meal iz arnd 200B including Drinks, quite Ex, coz the area is angmornized. Visited Jungceylon, a angmornized Giant mall, got lots of inflated shit. Smurf waz half naked that time and tot he cant enter the mall, the security guard saluted as we walked in and... we saw quite a few angmor oso topless walking anrd (No topless females la!) Walk somemore b4 goin to tis supermarket near our hotel. Got some chips and beer. Beer was ZOMGingly cheeeeeeeaaaaaapppp lawl! 32-50B!!! In short everyting oso Cheap dao... There waz tis instant porridge wich rox lol. Got pork and chicken flavored de chok. Sleaze at hotel's very mini pool with chips n beer. On the way back wuz fkin funny, smurf got pinched at the arm by some massage lady (mayb a x-men) and roge tio Hug LAWL!!! Me n shawn jus siam asap to avoid the toutin zone. Got my shades for a shit price, damn, should bargain for lower...

Day 2

Bompe bompe ride

Eat Cheap at Food court

King prawns roar!

Roge with his prawn

Unsatisfied customer

1st day with planned activities. Bfast at hotel, simple american style, scrambled egg, bacon, toast and tea. Rambo came to pick us up with a Sedan car, not sure if he willingly wanna bring us around or mayb got commision de. 1st station, viewing pt to see some of the 'best' sceneries of phuket. Then ATV (All terrain Vehicle). Most high part iz wen we chiong at the max spd. This iz how it goes... Roge wz right behind the leading guide, then shawn then moi, smurf last. On any straight track, shawn wd jus stop for awhile so theres a distance between him n roge then jus turn the handle (accelerator) all the way down to full spd. Sibei HIGH wen u speed up, esp upslope. Smurfs' buggy got some prob or issit he duno how to drive, ended up very behind us in the midst of the plains track. ATV iz abit like real car, the turning part very challenging, cannot gostunt, onli straight, plus we were cruising on bumpy tracks.

We requested to go to the local mall to have lunch, cheap and gd. So its food court at this mall where locals hang out, got few angmors though. Unbelievable, one meal cost me less than a plate of chicken rice in pj... tats like <$2 lawl! one meal means food n drink n dessert fyi. Oso chiong the supermarket again for drinks and chips. Red bull is ffffffrrrrreakin cheeeeep, 10B LOL!!! 40cents? Sg sells arnd a dollar! After supermarketing, went to massage for around 2hr+. Tis massage no funny business de, dun have happy ending or wadsoeva (u noe wad i mean). The masseuse wz really a pro lol... Slept for the 1st hour then later wen comin to the upper body part, too pain to sleep. Here crack and there twist, pain but damn shiok after the whole session. Served with a great warm tea and got a transfer back to our hotel. Another walk at Patong beach, Roge and his coconuts once more. We watched some indian lady do para sailing and a grp of angmors playing banana boat. Parasailing wz imba coz got 1 guide follow the lady up the sky (equipmentless) and took control of the whole flight and landing (pressing the chute with his weight). Dinner was at a seafood restaurant, I waz too sian to get high abt seafood coz of stomachache. DAMNIT! Anything but stomachache! spoils everything. Went to 3 different places to take a dump. A Korean mall, the restaurant and Jungceylon. Still enojoyed the pineapple fried rice and banana shake. We got served by a damn holy gay ass. Then also got X-men wait-eress who talked to us. Roge got his king prawn (much bigger than a handphone) for a astronomical price. Smurf wasnt too happy with his. Thats all for day 2, we got back to hotel and Zzz early coz of an early boat to catch the next day.

Family End Of Year Trip 08 @Afamosa

2009-01-06T23:29:00.006+08:00

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Before movin on to Thailand trip... need to blog abt Afamosa!!! While its still fresh in the mind... So late then log coz haven got pics from bro.

Day 0
Arrived at KL midnite, took the $50 grassland bus, got tv, business class seat (leg stretched out while seating oso nv touch the front lool)The songs sukd and movies quite old de. The driver can fark off... stupid ahne, tell him so many times i stopping at Serdang, he happily and SLOWLY drove past that rest house -.-. Bo bian i alight at the interchange wif zengjie where yujie and feifei come pick us, thanks! Bathe and Zzz at 5shu hse.

Day 1
Depart to leehoms' place in the morning, by LRT. Nice experience, coz the train abit diff from wad u see in sg... abit less cramped, more fast... but the door damn noisy. As though it acts to wake those who dozed off when it shuts/opens. Leehom picked me up at the station then go makan at his hse. Then... set off for Afamosa of course, traffic jam, we arrived abit late liaoz, the rest of the pple chiong all the 'nice' games le. Practically theres nth, and the infrastructure is saii! Out of nowhere, bare-land, a spot in the vast fields, theres tis temporary hall where all the game stations are. Theres archery, Go kart, Paintball range (war games at somewer else), horse riding, etc. But... why all these cramped around the 'hut', its fkin hot and dusty.

After several shots, the adults tried too... zhao to see the villa! Yes... villa, thats the best thing in this trip. Theres a private pool in each unit, 3 rooms and total of 2 toilets. Living room and dining area bigger than homes' lol. When ten-pu-tong went into the pool, some of us got itched to jus jump inside. Darn ian kor go n do some tsunami simulation, wad resonance nonsense, shouldn't have suggested to him... the pool water almost 1/10 gone. Arnd 5+, sian of pool le, went to bathe and makan. Wth sia, the pool water abit weird, those who went to dip can feel this burning feel even after batheing budden hor... our skin is uber smooth! macam got flour on fingertips.

Nasi Lemak for dinner and off to cowboy town. Duno for wad retarded reason, got many people come, which eventually attracted some of us to go in as well. Tix were arnd RM35 (lucky got bring ic, cheaper) Bro, leijie, chuin, yongjie, hweejie and youyou were inside since 7+. Me, leehom, yige and cyan joined after that. So that makes 10 of us tio scammed into tis crappy place.The onli nice ting inside is the parade bah. Which wer we spend most of the time at (almost 2 hrs+) They kept using the same staff/cast/performers, change abit here and there. 1st got some Red indian show, fire juggler/breather/eater... the mcee suk big time, wen he go "are u happy"... then the audience go "... ... ... " Reason: he mumbles, speak some alien accent which can be understood after multiple repitation. The most fun part abt this red indian show is youyou tio saboed by us to go up to the front to perform lol... Gd ting is, she quite steady la, unlike others who go there laugh laugh onli. She had to do some retarded chicken dance lol and howl/wadeva u call it like a red indian. Duno she happy or sian, tio saboed to go up, nv tio shoot by her after that, so should b happy bah.

Next item is the real parade... lets see, got a weird combination of animals: chickens runnning out (WTH?), camel, elephant humping show lol, birds, chimp, tiger, lion, snake, orangutan, dogs(0.0), parrots, horses, etc (forgot)... The carriages/ hua che was real bad, lousy decorations. The nicest part is the cowboy part... got few 'robbers' dashing out on horse, than some sheriff chase after em on hosrse oso. Everything happened damn fast and they wez shooting empty rounds. The rest were dressed up goons parading and they kept repeating sia... why cant they repeat the cowboy 1 lol, to me thats the best part. We're quite lucky can get upclose shows coz bro waz sitting at the front and taking pics with his slr wif a fkinbig lense, so many performers stop infront of him to get pics taken (small digital cams can screw off!)

After parade, got fireworks, Sweet! Then we go walk walk arnd the mini park, really nth after like 2 rounds arnd the meeting pt square so we go play bowling. Woohoo, the bowling is pawnage lool... 1stly, the balls so rough and dirty, The holes were dented/chipped... 2ndly, the computer can go junk yard le. I go gutter, then record strike... Strike become 0... If not, 1 time can throw 4 times, the alley and detect any falling pins. End up some of our scores quite high and some damn shyt. Thats abt all at Cowboy town. Got this gay dance thats dwelling in me our mind sia (its performed by a few akuas in santa/ cowboy costume, with xmas carols as bckgrnd music) When we got back to the villa, the adults all Zzz le, we (me, hom, you, cyan and yige) makan some leftovers + cup noodles and talk kok till like 4am then Zzz.

Day 2
Went water park with yuinjie, you, hom, yige and cyan. Not as great as we expected coz some slides down for renovation. We also gave those slides requiring tubes a miss coz we forgot take out $$ from locker to go rent. Wack the 5storey slides many times, got the covered de and open de. The covered 1 is... really dark wen u were inside the slide, sheng shou bu jian 5 zhi! The open de can be quite scary coz at times u felt that ur goin off 'track'. Played both until sian le then go chiong the real extreme 1. Yuijie call it the signature slide coz its on the ads. No joke, its damn high, i even miscount the flight of steps taken to go up, all i noe is reach the top damn tired le, arnd 8 stories i tink. At the top need to queue up, i'd sae its really worth it. Lets describe the slide in a simple dramatic illustration.
1. Guard says go, Off me go!
2. I waz thinking to meself " wah, quite slow, not so scary afterall"
3. suddenly, got one bright bright 'hole' in front, n me iz sliding towards it.
4. WTF!!! PLLLLLLUNNGGGGGGEEEDDDDD
5. If memory serves rite, i wz definately in mid air, and butt land after 2.5 secs on this super inclined slide. around 75degs from horizontal.
6. Pawned! I forgot to scream sia, freakd out for that 2 secs... After that its like f-1, stopped at the 'pit', splashing water, reminds me of norbit lol, out of track.

Thats all for the imba rides, nex go wave pool to slack then go makan lunch and zhao liao.
Rating for water park
Level of Holy shyt rides: 4/5
No. of holy shyt rites: 3/5
Cleaniness: 1.5/5 (WTH! got whispers floating at the perimeter pool!!!)
Bathroom: 3/5
Park envo: 3.5/5
Overall:3.5/5

1 conclusion... I'd never never never visit Afamosa ever ever ever again. Mayb for curious jackasses can visit once and i mean onli ONCE... u'll know how i felt after the 2 days.
Went town to get lunch (those who nv go park haven eat), damn coincidence, we saw ahbing! Lol! At Meleka? With his new gf? Msia not small sia, but can meet him there, same town, walking past our cars. We went to this ulu coffee shop to makan, the towkay like quite shocked as though his shop 1st time so many pple. The horde of us occupied all the seats in his shop le.I ordered the 'dong gan bing' (super touching ice) out of curiosity... -.- its some sour plum, jelly, ice and lime juice... Scammed!
Trip ends here...

Got back to pagoh and slack for the nex 3 days. I jus realised im a gd storyteller or... liar lol. What happened wz... In the afternoon damn hot, so i jus slopped at the 2nd storey, listening to music n psping. Ten alwez come bug me, bo bian but to entertain her. She started telling me the lion king story so i oso tell her some crap stories... all made up sia! Seriously, jus start with a ny subject that comes to mind then jus continue, linking to any bullshit i can tink on the spot. Lucky she believe coz its full of loopholes and by the time she ask 'shushu, y like... neh?' alrdy prepare ans le :P

Weds depart for sg le. Stay in pagoh countdown oso quite meaningless since alot zhao liao. Had lunch at the organic farm near airhitam. Freakin large piece of land, famous for its dragonfruit. If its me... confirm built themepark liao, with all the insane rides :) Ate the black pepper chic rice wich tasted like fried rice with oily chicken chunks... The dragonfruit juice waz nice though.

Love family outings total got arnd 8 cars lol... 30+ pple went. Last year was with mum's side de couzes at indonesia (lampung)... tis year at msia :)
Even though Afamosa sux, we went as a large grp, grumbled as a grp and had fun together. The more the merrier ...OSH!!!

e-mune to no shyt!

2009-01-03T01:21:00.002+08:00

Haha... Dunno why my body alwaes not functioning in a proper way... After arm recovered, now eyes. Swollen eye lid wuead! Not itchy or painful jus irritating havin tis small bump, making me look like a goldfish ooh~ Now usin optrex eyedrops to surpress any irritation, hopefully it'll recover b4 the 7th.

Very early... 8am play bball le, 1st time so early coz usually i'd go down at 10+ wen the dudes came at 9 lol. I played onli 2 matches and lost both, stopped after that coz of my pitiful eyes, Nicholas took over. GLM after that, retarded woman, giv me n roge the 'jia la' bowl wen we wanted 'bu yao la'... should jus eat the scallops and ask for refund lol. Had to drink a glass of water chestnut n lime to cool my tongue. I cant take spicy food liaoz... since wen? erh? wen i discoverd i got stomachache whenever i eat spicy food then went for some operation. Its either avoid it and SAFE or eat and reserve the toilet.

Went to settle and finalise the trip stuffs... total accom n travel arnd 500+... play and food all these may top to 1k. Mum onli gave me 500-.-

Mahjong at Lunfas', its abit of a lawl ting coz Sanji suggested playing coz he wanna learn. b4 everytin, roge had to write down a list of the dongnanxibei, translation of chinese one to nine and some other weird characters. While playing, Sanji referred to the ppr every now n then, particularly wen got 'wan' tiles... which is quite obvious why. Fker roge even memorised wad are the characters he'd usually forget. Not that bad, he loss <$10 in exchange for a valuable lesson. I lose $2+ nya, fair enough, got wins n loses during the round.

Poof, reached home, bathe n makan then Zzz le. Even afford to miss xnr, too tired le

Old & New 2008-2009

Background: shattered glass

The onli decent fireworks photo lol

Happy New Year!!! Woohoowoohoowoohoowoohoowoohoowoohoowoohoo!!!!!!!!!!
Let all the bygones go poof!
Leave all hatred and sadness behind!
Welcome 2009!

Should all~~~

((It turns out that "Auld Lang Syne" is an extremely old Scottish song that was first written down in the 1700s. Robert Burns is the person whose transcription got the most attention, so the song is associated with him. A good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by." So (incorporating a couple of other translations) when we sing this song, we are saying, "We'll drink a cup of kindness yet for times gone by."))

Top 5 New year wishes
1. Satisfactory results, gd enuff to get me into a course i wan in Uni... seriously
2. Healthy and happy family
3. Healthy and everlasting frens
4. Get in shape... heehee
5. Smooth year 2009... world peace lol

Last years' old and new... waz at home, jus got back from Jakarta, sibei tired, blog liao then go orhorh le. This year go out with a bunch of guys. Haha, but also came back from overseas on the 31st Dec. Went to marina bay that area for countdown and see fireworks. Hmmm, got pangpang, aizen, drew, ruien, ben, fenru, sq, yanjun and rp. I earliest to reach JE sia... kns i tot i late lah, in the end most pple arrive 30mins later. Anywaes we reached esplanade there at arnd 9++... still quite early so go laupasa makan... after that wen we head back to the bay G_G liaoz, sibei crowded, have to squeeze with lots of yalam and ah nez... In the end we find a place not far from this temporary toilet and station there... still got fkin lots of pple though. The pictures of the fireworks sukd coz i duno how to use zengjie's cam... then those fkin yalams kept pushing my arm...

Fireworks this year like kinda shitty, 2mins+ onli, then like very normal normal type. The 1 at Afamosa still more chio la (will come to that next post on msia trip)... Anywaes, its rather stupid, coz we cramped ourselves there jus to watch that few mins show... haha, i guess the onli purpose is outing and gathering la. Ended up at cck mac to chill, drew n fenru zhao liao. Crap, mac close at 2am lol? I tot 24hrs de, we got chased out so jus gather around outside. Saw sqs' didi sia, look more like older bro lol.

Its god damn difficult, so many features, like more complicated than wow.

Get well soon, me
I wanna have fun at famosa!

Xmas party - An invitation from Jia Han aka "Samuel"

2008-12-20T22:21:00.001+08:00

've always got tis misconception that churches and christians are like... the western/angmor ting... duno why, even though i got some chinese, indonesian frens who are christians. Anywaes, it was an awesome day spent at Sam's church... or should i say JiaHan. (To be explained in awhile)

Invited to this "xmas party" at the Batok church... Its kinda weird for me coz the cell grp is... Chinese Speaking! In fact almost everythins' in chinese! Lets imagine this, the stuffs we do, every programme on the list, its all chinese vers lol!

Ok, 1st we had some sing along sessions, xmas songs, not gospel or... Then we listened to a very short speech by a guy from the cell grp. Next up is a skit put up by the members. Rmb... everything is in chinese, even xmas songs! Come the last hour is a speech by this self proclaimed uncle then some games and gift exchange. Got a candle holder nya... attached to a frosted/painted glass.

Lastly, refreshments, managed to chat with some of the cell grp members, came to know tis guy whos currently studying last year at Med sch, last 3 months b4 graduation, great guy, OCS somemore... social-able and knowledgable. He shared his exp in the ns with me n ben... also some med stuff. The grp's 'tao' and some other members also very nice to us (me, mel, ben, earnie, desmond and jjguy). When i mentioned "Sam" to some pple around, they go like... huh? who? oh... Jiahan arh?... LOL this goes to sae that everything funcitons in chinese lol... even their service, camps n EVERYTHING! CoOl or...

Overall, the pple all very friendly, esp the girls, although abit siao siao 1 -.- Oh, btw while seating at this 3rd row bench... all the while i had tis weird feeling (not really dejavu but felt like 1), the girl infront damn familiar sia, the bei-ying and the voice oso lol. Then sam waz calling out "Tricia...smth smth smth". Yep, it is Tricia! Its either shes gone fat or i've grown tall, look quite diff from wad she was 20 months ago. She oso not sure if it was me... Wad a small world lol.

Ended the day with dinner at wm, charjiang mian nya!
Many pple said christians had bad rep for 'psychoing' pple to convert... well i wont agree to that. Some (esp teens) go church or 'convert' (wen they are not actually devoted) at their own will, to have fun with frens during dull weekends or maybe to go after a girl? So we think that its 'psycho-ed'... I think religion tis kinda ting is jus a belief... all religions pass 'good' teachings... to a much extent, cant say wads better, more 'cool', real or wadsoeva. Currently I'm a free thinker wich is a great thing...

Lets say if i'm to choose a religion? Jus from the main few religions i know
Christian: Never for life, dads' gonna 'ka chia' me coz christians cant hold joss sticks, i heard
Muslim: No way! muslim need to pray, fast and everything... naturally not wad i'd love to spend time on
Catholic: Mayb, but I dun really know much abt catholic stuffs
Hunduism: Am i elligible? but i wont.... those rituals require piercings... hell no!!!
Buddhism: Its said in my ID that im buddhism.. wth wrote that!?!? But i think its the closest to wad i'd go for....

Why? Lets see, Buddhism teachings are more... convincing? Real? Sensible? And it does not force u pray tis n that, praise tis n that... so its kinda free... pray if u wan to, buddha do not discrimintate those who do not pray or give offerings. If u pray, thats extra merit. So its more like u dun keep praying for some good ting or putting ur hopes on God, its more like... u knoe if ur doin the right ting, nth will screw up and Buddhas' teachings says the good shall be rewarded. This Karma thing sums up everything...

Haha... but i'll still stick as a free thinker bah. Love & Peace!

2008-12-17T23:24:00.002+08:00

Update on life... 18th year, 5th month and wadsoeva days, hours, mins and secs

Been reading up alot from the internet, news from yahoo daily and random articles from wiki. Recently, picked up interest in supernatural stuff, u know, afterlife, ghosts and vampires. Dunnoe if i should believe em, its still debatable... tings like fake or real photos, weird soundwaves that can deciphered into voices... what i tink is, everything is part of nature, so i'd rather choose to 'think' they exist. So... wad if i do see 1? Freak out? Dun care?

Definately not freak out, i m too quiet to react, since young, not even an earthquake got me screaming wildly. Probly jus ignore... I mean, since my belief, is they are part of nature... why bother it? its jus like a small tree in front of you, bother even talking or touching it? I think why most pple fear these things coz they've nv seen it b4/often? They duno wads gonna happen next? Am i gonna get eaten? Its jus the same case when ur visiting a foreign country for the 1st time, say... India, and assuming u've nv seen an Indian in ur whole life... of course u'll feel uncomfortable wut? another example iz some hospital for the disabilties? U duno wads gotten into this old guy... why is he behaving like... has a... Same goes for the supernatural, once theories are out to explain these, they might no longer be as scary as u think. Furthermore, having hear ghosts stories, watch horror shows, they jus giv u false impressions... like... they're harmful, they have such appearances and so on. Mum's been banning me from watching horror shows since young lawl, well I think thats a gd ting coz i regard myself as a 'imagine-r', without such horrific images imprinted does help in sanity.

Well... I love to hear ghosts stories though... Wo ye shi mama sheng de! Curiousity is a duh!

(more Pics gonna b out asap, waiting for bro to upload)

Its wednesday... jus got back from msia trip. Main objective is shufeng kor de wedding. My new tang sister-in-law looks so much like princess Leia from the star wars trilogy lol!!! We had lunch at a restaurant in muar on sunday afternoon. Total 6 tables...food was okeoke but heard the bill was over 1k, kinda bo hua, well... its the occasion that counts. I was kindof stand out among all the couzes coz of my long sleeve shirt. They sae i wear too formal liaoz... confirm not need to cover the bandage on my arm lo...

After that went to watch madagascar 2 with Ian kor family, leehom, suyi and bro. Movie was soso... how to sae eh? Suitable for sec schlers? coz if too young wont understand the language and if too old will sian diao. Not too much american humor but their accent very strong. Ian kor slept through and da shao kept grumbling it sux.The rest of us were fine coz there ARE funny parts budden storyline too kiddy. Anywaes, watched 'tian cai chong chong chong', pawned lawl! Taiwanese pple english suk'd, duno is fake or... budden really funny n entertaining. They quite creative too, the show really needs a gd host and n2 participants though.

The standard bfast at pagoh the next morning, had nasi lemak tis time instead of prata. Thats for branch i tink... it started to pour non-stop after that, damn sian... set off for kl at arnd 2+ reached at 4... initially 5shu told us to jus forget abt genting coz rain quite heavy, confirm very misty after that so dangerous to drive up hill... in the end still went la. Plan screwed le la... 1stly we set off late, 2ndly downpour -.- my 1st dae at genting themepark plan gone liao! Damn! Ended havin dinner at 5shu hse then as planned, off to genting.

Driving uphill sibei dangerous... thick mist/ cloud, wdv u call it... really really cant see la. 5shu kept saying: just look at the white lines and the 'light blocks' on the road surface... lawl! I cant see a shyt la! He drive so fast some more, freaking dangerous. Arrived safely, got 2 great rooms with 1 king size + a single bed... nice! All thanks to 5shu's gold card haha! The adults n bro went to casino. Leehom, yige n me went to roam arnd the indoor park.

Played some bowling and arcade and had supper at kfc. After everything... almost 12+ le, got back to room and bathe. For some reason dun feel sleepy so went to chill at starbucks till 3am. Sleeptime was... suyi snored! WTH? When i was almost in dreamland... suddenly got tis 'nose-block' sound then after awhile... GHONRRRR... -.-, its like i tio snapped out of some hypnotism spell, instead tio casted insomnia.

Freakin tired the nex morning... had the most expensive breakfast of my life... RM20 bak kut teh!!! Wadde!!! wuz shocked la... they nv state the px, onli knew wen paying at the cashier. Like wad dad said, they onli got 2 seasons/4-6 months to earn ur money, thats y ex too survive. Liddat i'd rather eat fast food lol, not that expensive, at most as ex as the fastfood in SG.

Nex up is the fun part. Coz we didnt visit the themepark due to time limit, decided to chiong the flying coaster which is not part of the 1day unlimited pass in the themepark. RM12 for 1 ride lawl! Leehom kept saying smth like... dun hav insurance, u die ur prob and stuffs liddat... ps me. Managed to pursuade them somehow and yes we're up on the flying coasted. Really a once in a life time experience and must try! Honestly, its my 1st time on such an outdoor/larger scale roller coaster. 1st time... jiu tis type of super intense de liao! It was fun, we yelled and 'hoarsed' our voices. Few secs onli budden damn damn damn shiok! esp the part wen its diving vertically downwards, will have the OBE effect lol!

Day at genting ended with a game of bowling and icecream at mac. Yige n Leehom played archery. Left at arnd 2+ and got to 5shu'd hse to rest. Played TFC with xixi and bro for awhile then left for dinner, met up with aunt, youyou and yongjie at tramcar. The restaurants' owned by... lets see... dad's couz? called him 3buo and his wife 3buomu... lol, thats wad my couzes address my mum n dad. Anywaes, had sizzling steak, nothing extraordinary but better than the 1 at jack's. The adults had rice n variety of dishes... wth... come here eat those kind of home-cooked food -.-, they happy can liao (at least the asam laksa fish was heavenly!)

Stayed over at Leehom's hse that nite. Knowing that yige would snore... planned to sleep earlier than him. Yes I did, budden bro n youyou waz talking n laughing loudly in the bedroom. Woken up n joined them lo. Talk lots of shyt, from NS life to sch, bgr and our own family. Knn, bro kept buggin me to get gf as though its a sin not to. How in the world u rush tis kind of ting, its all up to fate lo. Yige got bored n unknowingly he dozed off while we were chatting. It was 3am, that ends our bedtime chat session wen we realised the snoring was so loud that it buffered our voices.

Home sweet home the nex day. Had prata at Legend and set off for pagoh then finally SG. Sums up my short holidae at msia. Gonna go back again during dong zi which is arnd 20th dec? Heard they planning to go Cameron Highlands... Song bo!!! genting trip was crappy coz too little time for pure entertainment. Arms' healing fast thanks to leijie's so called 'flesh-restoring' gel lawl! She also helped me get some solution to clean the wound de. Lucky got her nia or else i'll suffer for the nex few daes with alcohol as the cleaning reagent. Lips very dry recently, probly too heaty, had to use lip balm to keep it moist...
Sigh... hope i can recover well, need to pick up on fitness le, been eating too much and doin nth!

Pulau Ubin Trip, traged-ized

2008-11-30T10:40:00.006+08:00

Its a very beautiful day, 7 guys went out to play... 1 of them tio owned... I got owned, the rest of the pple: rome, roge, smurf, bryan, boss, Xiaoshen.

Met up at arnd 9am at batok then depart for Changi village, then boat ride to pulau ubin. Rent bike and started our outing. Biked for only 1 to 2 hours... disaster strikers.

I was cycling along this rocky path, hill, slope, wdv... hit on a larger than normal rock... then mayb nv grip properly, nex 2nd on the ground liaoz, with bruised palm, 1 bloody arm. Very dizzy at that moment, any moment i close my eyes, confirm black out. Recovered abit, then rushed over to first aid, at the RP camp nearby. The guy helped me wash the injury at the right elbow... HOLY ***, damn gross and deep cut!!! heart pain nya... Apply some betadine then put a huge plaster on it to last for the day. Thank you RP people for the first aid!

Later at nite, went clinic to dress up the wound and do any other checkup, this is better than mum doin the dressing coz she'll not bear to touch the wound lo. Since i'm still here blogging, means quite ok la, no need stitching. The doc put some artificial skinning on the right arm and jus cover it with waterproof plaster. Game over...

What a day lol, damn unlucky, I kept thinking abt de fan tai shui ting, mayb tis is the one and only inccident i'd meet tis year, the year of horse. Lucky is not that bad, even the doc say very heng, nv tio face or head, nv tio albow tip, no need stitch.

This means no sports, gym, physical stuff till recovery, cant start work! nooooo! On the bright side, no need to wash dishes, hah!

The trip became quite meaningless after the accident but at least got some fun stuffs bah. We visited the legendary chek jawa with 7 habitats, then also this tower with great vista.

On top of the tower, the 3 infront got height phobia

By the eastern coast

Poor arm, the plaster is larger than my handphone lol

2008-11-22T00:14:00.004+08:00

Came back from chalet ytd, only stayed over for 1 night, 2nd day damn tired le so jus felt like goin home. Here's a short log on the 30hr chalet.

Day 1

Arrived at around 6+, joined in bbq and talk kok with the rest. Played some magic too but got bored real soon. Kinda lose interest in magic liao, mayb for gathering or drafting, its fine bah. After bbq, clean up everyting then help leesiah prepare her reflection ting. Neko treat everyone with some alcohol with his winnings lol. Time pass damn fast, was playing puipui's djmax then its like 3am liao. Slept for the nex 3hrs then retarded bob go n wake me up, after that cant slp le.

Day 2 (start from 6am)
Started mahjong, the group of real mahjongers went for their round of zzz. then later, the other grp of ladies came then joined in a few more round then went for lunch le. Didnt expect to be out having fun till evening. Went arcade for Taiko drum with pee, hand damn pain. Then went bowling with jin, pee, fenru, aiwei and rp... ruien n sam joined in later. 3 rounds, damn tired, can feel the strain on the right arm. After that went for neoprint then actually wanna prepare surprise party... but someting unexpected happened. Drew collapse, knock his head then got sent to hospital. Damn sad, wad a timing to tio accident. Anyways, we jus continued bbqing...again, mark, ben n piangpiang came. Eat very little la, played mahjong with aiwei, shir n sq for the rest of the night. Crap, onli won 1 round la, wen i wore that retarded rat hat, luck sux bah. around 10+ hitch a ride on piangpiang's car home.

Zzz, no cycling, no cards, little gossiping, chalet so small, no supper chat... sian arh. But at least got some other entertainment like bowling n mahjong. Still prefer a 'friends' function than a 'class' function. After all, everyting seems so fake if it is set towards this... class.

Did practically... nth for today. Cleaned up the room, tidy all the old notes and books, dump them under the bed n rearranged the furnitures into party mode. After that jus watch drama the whole dae liao. Dad bought 4 hk drama series. Watched half of 當狗愛上貓 today. Quite entertaining, can compare with jdrama.

Nice nice, gonna finish everything tml!

A Levels OVER!!!!

2008-11-18T23:58:00.002+08:00

SONG ARH!!! FINALLY FINISH!!!!!

yep, A lvls ended, jc life ended, "compulsory edu" ended
Nv blog for quite some time, vowed not to go online for unofficial or nonsense stuff around 3 months ago. Not really as relieved as when finish O lvls, maybe coz nv study as hard tis time and like wad smurf said, hung between, not sure if results come out gd, true true.

A summary of performance for A's
1. GP: Most unpredictable, chose a simple topic, wrote logically, fluent i guess, not flashy though. Hopefully can pass, seriously, thats wad i hoped.
2. Econs: Not that bad, i think i did write lots of stuff tis time, sensible stuff, unlike and better than any previous pprs.
3. Maths: Most disappointing, dunno if its only me, maths damn difficult, for some reason, not confident of it. Maths suked since last year promo, been dropping for the past year.
4. Chem: Fav subj bah, hopefully can get A, put lots of effort in it. Maybe ppr 1 will screw everything, got around 26/40... B Zzz. Pray the rest can get better.
5. Phy: The lousiest subj since prelims but quite confident tis time. Physics wasnt supposed to b my weak subj lei... Sec sch still ok. A lvls phy easy except ppr 2? or issit 3? forgot...
6. Overall: Gimme at least BBB u crazy Angmohs!

Went to celebrate with smurf, rome, king and roge at some steamboat restaurant, spam lots of meat. Feeling abit nauseous now coz like some food consumed 80% cooked lol. Unknowingly also ate lots of mutton, feeling heaty now, probly cant sleep tonight. Still gonna Generals with Roge later.

3. Refurnish room... room's freaking messy, notes lying around, taped on the wall. Have to clear em, move in the tv set, set up surround system, shift table somewer so that room can be party area anytime!

4. 're'Pick up piano... so long nv play nia, onli recently, during last few days of exam, bores/stress then go play play. Gonna master the ken hirai and beegees song. Must!

5. Travel... Goin backpack with king, roge, Smurf real soon, to msia thailand... mayb indonesia after cny, cant wait! Did some planning today but come only confirmed the dates and locations. Gonna b a budget trip, still worth it bah.

6. Cook... Cant take da bao food liao, nex year mum's gonna be away most of the time, since i most free mayb will cook ever 2 days bah. Must master a few dishes so that those fags wont complain.

7. Exercise u fatass!... since pre-prelim nv exercise much, at most once a week visit gym go stretch stretch. Die liao, benzene ring growing in charge density, need to do some work out. NS oso coming, cannot go on sloppy mode.

She is a popular artist on the avex trax label and is best-known for her 2003 hit Sakuranbo, which stayed in the Top 200 Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for 101 weeks."

Recently started listening to her album... was at cck on Sunday then borrowed Drew's iPod... got this OtsukaAi song titled "pretty voice"... quite addicted to it, then kept listening only to that song... so decided to dig for her other songs... besides sakuranbo and peach which i already knew.

1. Pretty Voice
2. 桃ノ花ビラ (Peach Flower Petals)

5. 雨の中のメロディー (Melody In The Rain)
6. しゃぼん玉 (Soap Bubbles)
7. 石川大阪友好条約 (Ishikawa Osaka Friendship Treaty)
8. 片想いダイヤル (A Crush Dialing)
9. ハニー (Honey)
10. 甘えんぼ (Spoiled Child)
11. Always Together
Tracks 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 are the HIGH songs lol ... the rest wer just some soft blues/ sentimentals i guess. Sakuranbo... the best jpop song of course!!! Then thers this song, Spoiled child... its nice too... suprisingly, its 1 of the slow songs that i'd actually listen! Usually like high and fast/beat songs... budden, its just nice lei... 1st time listen to this song didnt notice the english translation for the song name but realised it giv the 'pampered, sayang'd' feeling...

Anyway, these are the few worth mentioning songs from Love Punch... banzaii Otsuka Ai!

Kungfu Panda!!! Yataaa!!!

2008-06-12T22:31:00.002+08:00

Went to watch kungfu panda on tues... random enough... me, pee n ruien were actually muggin in the morning... then went to lunch at kobayashi. Then.... seems like we're sick of studying, so... went to watch kungfu panda! random eh?

The shows' abt tis fatass pandam, PO who became a kungfu 'pro'... its retarded coz he defeated the villian with some crackass luck, or mayb random moves. 1st part of the movie was rather lol... abt the 'powerful awesomeness' that blinded the enemies! Then the final duel part was ridiculous... Po is able to resist the 'dian xue' with body FATS!!! WTH??? I'd prefer the villian... (name was tailang?)to be the star, the part wen he escaped the prison was...ZOMG! the graphic designers gd!

Some side stuffs that i waz tinking while watching... why is panda the symbol... for kungfu wen it comes to animals? the monkey, snake, mantis, tiger, crane... sensible enough... but panda... xiong mao gong? i guess probably pandas... are... 'humanoid'? then mayb some zoologists see them swaying their fist arnd or smth? Or mayb coz pandas' from China... and chinas' wer kungfu starts... smth like a symbol for chinese martial arts i guess.

The shows' nice enough to have a few ROLF scenes... but i cant believe myself watching ... animations in cinema... dun really tink is worth it. Hmmm... but if they include stuffs from the 'jin yong' series... like all the WHOMG moves (xiang long shi ba zhang, chuan xin zi,etc) I'll watch it without doubt! Coz if those stuffs in animation... its like OWNAGE! Anyway... thats wad iwaz tinking after the show.

Worst nightmare!

2008-06-08T19:33:00.002+08:00

Einstein's Cradle 08!!!

2008-06-04T00:25:00.004+08:00

EC08 Team Gears! (Hotman's not part of it)

Me doin my part thanks to Zhilun's bike

Hours ago... its Einsteins cradle from Pj! duno wer they come out with tis name for a science fair... but anyway its not that science fair ... coz 've seen something more interesting. Anyway, as a 'crew' or 'host' or wdv u call it... its helping instead of participating. Lots of stuff to see actually... after like 3 dry runs, all the booths are fully prepared for this dae i guess.

Me, ruien and sam in charge of the gears booth... part of the simple machines team. Actually suppose to b shuqing instead of sam... who psed but nvm... i tink the trip should b more worthwhle. The day was great... nv had such experience before, teaching someone something... interesting. Initially was explaining the car's motor part then later swope with sam to the bike... coz i tink it'll b easier for him... afterall he joined in last minute.

The kids... aiyoh... some very gd la, like it wen they nod with agreement... but some of those smug twerps... feel like jus insultin em... Are primary school kids getting smarter or issit me whos forgetting hows' pri sch like? they seem to know most basic stuffs... at p6? In the end hav to add in stuffs like the concept behind differentials and transmission to entertain them. Ruien most funny... got pawned since the 1st grp came... coz he explained the basic parts!

Learnt quite lotsa stuff from this event... theory... lol... read up alot on gears... n its really alot... including almost 50% on how car works.

Saw a sibei interesting email that hanjie forwarded... its abt spoken CHINA chinese and MALAYSIAN chinese, these are some of the funny tings which is really... really...: ( percentage shows degree of ROLF/LMAO/LOL

2008-06-02T22:16:00.002+08:00

Zzz... bo bian must mug liao... promised dad to score well this mid year or else get tuition. He's at home the past few days, stressed over... ME... he wan mum to stay in SG to take care of me instead of following him to Indo.... Erh... so wad if mum stays? Is she gonna tutor me? Come on dad... chill man, jus dun worry too much abt me. A levels... i know wad to do. So jus get mum to b by ur side bah... if not, i become the 1 whos worried liao.

That aside, revision starts this week... officially. ve'been slacking last week, so have to do smth. SMTH = tys? ws? 21 days to sch start... 3 subjs left... perfect! 7 days for each subj...
Today got einstein's cradle last dry run in sch. damn sian, repeat like 7 times... same ole ting, cant imagine tml mus do the same... 21 times!!! After that went to mug with yongsheng (pang pang) and Khaiting (bui kia)... LOL, nice and catchy nicks. Did physics today... quite satisfied, covered oscillations and waves liao.

Finally... comps' revived! living room desktop can use liao! but cannot overload the usage or else ... blue-black syndrome (blue warning screen then blackout). Bro installed the comp on the tv... hohoho... huge screen definately better for games and watching drama!!! Then oso got wireless keyboard and mouse... means... can use comp on sofa lol... Recently also doin research on mp4 players... need 1 badly, 1 thats not shuffle mode.... So here's the result of research

1.Ipod Classic 80gb: ~$330|good: memory is IMBA!, quality not bad|bad: mainstream! drop then gg coz its a hardrive
2.Samsung P2 8gb: ~$400|good: Classy design, comes wif Bluetooth headphone!!!, touch screen!| bad: looks brittle, price is..., since wen samsung produce audio visual stuff?

Came to these 2... duno which 1 to choose... bro told me to get samsung... coz of the touchscree -.-
I wan durable de!!! $300+ is no joke dude! even though mum promised to get me 1 for bday... but i tink get myself better... then will treasure it more. Somemore bday... 2months away, cannot wait :P

Got my dvd-rs! Can back up file and clear comp memory liao! Suih!

[My ADVWR Journal Entry #2]
Omega land... once terrorized by the Von bolt and the blackhole. Now with the allied nations around, its beginning to pick up again. However, there're still separatist out in the vast lands.

Led by Sami, the 7th had a glamorous victory on Moji island and land's end. The pawns were shockingly effective in the battle with Lash. Its a de route strategy... Such a big map, capturing the HQ in 13 days with pelicans and through the woods is the best we can do. Koal got fooled too on Moji island. The 7th strike faster than expected under Sami. We lost quite a number of men but i believe this is the best she can afford.

Back at the allied HQ... Kanbei and Sonja didnt quite buy Sami's great leadership... we had a practice battle. Eagle volunteered to tag with CO Sami and there we go... easy victory. Once again, the 7th didnt let her down, same tactics with a twist coz it was emperor Kanbei we're facing, tougher of course. Eagle had it easy with young Sonja... She's an intelligence expert and guess... she have no chance against Strikers like Eagle.

Zzz today... econs tmr!!! What m i doin!!!

2008-05-29T22:07:00.003+08:00

Strategy no.3 pray hard hard
Strategy no.4 write based on memory on model answers... really bobian, my structureing suk
Strategy no.5 plan real well and write write write... its 3hrs paper!!!

Somehow.. i duno how prepared im for econs... budden, i tink in terms of concept i'm fine... verbally.... i jus duno how to craft answers... So here's the fuk'd up ting... How in the world we know how much answer u(markers) demand??? example: define explain the causes of unemployment... sensibly, normal and logic-minded people will jus describe the cause... bla bla... but how we know how much u wan??? So do i need to even elaborate abt the effects? y this effect is gd? DUNNO!!! stupid econs... wad kinda way to test students abt econs... wen u dun hav a fixed answer...

Enough complaining... keep it real... i go mug liao

college day... crap...

2008-05-17T21:14:00.005+08:00

Wah sian... whole morning stomachache... no mood for everything.
Day's pj college day, which totally sux... by right, a college is 'xiao qing'... to me its smth like school bday. Years back in GMIS, colleege day was totally awesome, sch's open to public, each class gets to prepare smth, set a booth, haunted house, sell stuffs... its like a sch funfair!!! Pj college day... wth. Prize presentation... pvp was not tat bad. They should jus call it annual awards day... like in BBSS. College day should be like open house... hmmm no... more than that.. funfair! Its more attractive than the retarded open house idea... Miss u GMIS

Anyway, today mug for the whole morning... most frustrating is gp... cannot meet the deadline (time). do finish 1st para then sian diao liao. Joined hotman n Aiwei in the canteen... become light bulb shiol. haha.. coz mc rm damn warm and got lots of noisy fags. very close to step down liao, new P is venk... personally i dun tink hes up to it but i dun have other ideal candidate in mind... who cares... i'm leavin anyway. Gab will b responsible for his choice.

Tmr goin bck msia... so happy! probly get to play badminton or bball, then go eat prata for breakfast, mee goreng for supper. Life ther rox man, then got all the dudes, our conversation nv ends... talk all sorts of shyt. But.. sadly, stupid sch works' stopping me from enjoying all these. Since last year, everytime go back must bring work... damit, so i'll try to finish everyting tonight and slack tml... probly jus bring spa to study tml.

Aunt Olive left for HK few days ago... well, she left lots of shyt for mum n all of us to do... LOL. Her hse is totally pawnage! hardly hav space to walk... freakin messy n untidy. Mum n bro went over to cope some stuff bck, like the carpet, dehumidifier and the fax machine, tones of paper which she wants to place in our house for duno how long. good ting is, my rooms' semi carpetted liao!!! woots, then got table to place the old tv... Song! Now waiting for da book shelf, then can clear my study table liao.

[My ADVWR Journal Entry #1]
Pawns... nv fail to dissapoint me, they're fast poccers, screeners and protects the rangers. Most importantly, they dunt require resources unlike the steels. Its a real good strategy to rush em into the enemy base. Flooding pawns in to the HQ, diverting the stronger units with tanks and knights. Battle at equal isle and plus canal was peanuts thanks to the pawns. Reminds me of Sami... our infantry specialist, posses the ability to POC HQ in 1 turn when teamed with Eagle (Earth and Wind). Mayb i should find her someday to revise the inf stratergy.

Fogs heavy at Snowflake, Penny led the battalion and took advantage of the weather. Ambushed the enemy and poof, we secured most city in days. FOW takes lot of analysis and it is dangerous. We cant depend on the FOWers everytime, they're jus not useful in battle! Fast strike is the key to victory in snowflake and it shall always be as we advance.

I'm just a kid... BUT life is a nightmare!!!

2008-05-15T21:11:00.002+08:00

Life's rather boring these days... no comp, no dramas, no time for leisure actually...
Everyday hw hw hw or mug mug mug, life sux...

Now that Chem SPA's done, physics' comin... phy is a !@#%^&, at this pt of time i'm very clear that phy is not my cup of tea, i prefer chem even to maths n econs... Even though chem's my weakest sybj in terms of grades... but i still like it! It's so freakin interesting. Getting ahang of econs liao, jus that duno how to write answer but concepts all understand.

Smth out of sch... lousy comp, jus reformatted budden down again, now onli can use the TV comp. Due to the shytty school life, ve'been playing Advanced Wars :DOR... the new CO's are not as gd as the 1sa in the previous vers DS. But still, like the new units. Battleships are total pawnage! megatanks can jus rape through any shyt except wen the bombers or rockets come. Anyway... love tis kinda turn based strategy game. Can keep my mind active and trains analytical skills. i applied econs to it! (allocative & productive efficiency) Besides AW is Zendoku aka picture Sudoku. Played it as a bedtime ting.

Holiday's comin, mum's got me a tutor.. finally, i dun really like it but since its a 1 to 1 and its at home... i dun mind. The tutors' NJ Genius straight A's and a assorted music talent whos also in debating team. born 89s and an indonesian! Haha! Can talk kok liao! This holiday probly gonna hav like 10+ sessions to build my foundations. Go go ... me.

2008-05-10T15:21:00.002+08:00

Zzz... hardly get to use comp... sorry blog, left u untouched for awhile...
Sad to say, i've slept for 12hrs last nite, wasted another 6hrs... Today must make up by doin at least maths n gp...At nite goin out eat means hav to do everyting now

fkin awful day :(

2008-05-01T00:18:00.004+08:00

Cant believe i've start a new post with complains after not bloggin for so long. Sch's so shittier than usual, jus feel like getting home asap.

Early morning, 1st lessons, econs... got screwed by shengshee... wtf la! She talks fkin rubbish and without even thinking. WTF's with the 'No effort put it' ??? Shyt... i so feel like scolding all the vulgarities now... The thing goes like... lesson begin--->test--->she started scolding--->me,lvn,ys & some others told to stand--->she starts shooting me n lvn--->she picks on us again--->then again--->take out knife--->heat it over a furnace--->stab again--->take out knife--->drenched with some hot chilli oil--->stabs again.... Anyway, jus so freakin buaysong over it coz she's so unreasonable and YET she dun freakin realise it!!! + She scolds like we're retards and crap without even really realise she's too harsh with words! I knew my stand, my side of argument so guess i didnt really take the scoldings to heart. I tink some others abit kan bu kai, she's so demoralizing, like hoping for us to quit sch, Lvn couldnt take it for awhile, freakin pissed off and kept swearing after we sat down.

Here's my stand: my essay is short, yes i know, my handwriting is uber small BTW... not alot of details, yes i know, i always suk in essay writing, even in gp... overall sux, ok, i'll buy that... BUT the fukin unfair thing is that... me, lvn and those others got scolded coz we did the work COMPLETELY on our own, based on understanding from the lessons... the others (not mentioning who) who also handed in the same piece of work didnt get scolded coz they refer to the model answer... The question is: WHOS PUTTIN IN MORE EFFORT BIDC??? AND ITS SO OBVIOUS U DIDNT CHECK THOSE ESSAYS CLOSELY ENOUGH TO NOTICED THEY'RE LIFTED. The problem is not the copying part... its the use of words: NO EFFORT. This is so freakin assd and bullshyt! I wont wanna sabo any1 but i tink all i can do is to write another essay for... ahem, correction, copy from some1 whos not picked on... If she still hav tings to complain... i really bwg with her attitude. Not sad or emo... just frustrated. I tink the world in the future will be liddat... fkin unreasonable boss and stuffs... sigh~ i'll hav to get used to any shit now.

Something on the brighter side... my NAPFA turned out better than expected! Argh but fkin no mood to talk much about it since it happened ytd and the fkin econs class spoiled everyting.
This is 2008 NAPFA results which is a great improvement from the past
2.4 km run: 10.4x (B)
4x10m Shuttle run: 9.9 (A)
Sit-ups: 53 (A)
Standing Board Jump: 247 (B)... Damn close to A!!!
Sit & Reach: 44 (C)... Such a waste, 1cm to B!!!
Pull Ups: 8 (B)
Total: 25 (G)...yay!!!

Today's like cheetah day coz since dinner till now... watching animal planet and switching to other documentary chnls, keep seeing cheetah!!! LOL... now i realised cheetah quite cool, their posture when they lay low and runs. Big Cats rulz! NYA!

What a week!

2008-04-13T13:45:00.005+08:00

Happy Birthday Shir! Be gd!

Several things this week... 1stly, my comp crashed! Cant go online:( Its actually a gd thing coz can concentrate on studying. On the other hand, so many things to blog about yet i cant access the net. Well, its kinda difficult to trace back this weeks' events.

Thurs was Shir's bday! Went to eat @ Lot1... ordered some crayfish ramen -.- 1st time eat crayfish (its like a fatter prawn). The guys also went to get a bday cake for Shir from Bengawan Solo. So its Happy Birthday to Shirley! Then we were crapping all the way till 5pm. Pangpang was buggin msng for the pw results wen we didnt noe that its released the next day. Very happy day... coz mainly can get 1/2 the class together to eat and crap. To Shir... U're really different from last year... very socialable and friendly now, what made u changed? Or is this ur true self? Anyway, hope u like the class and will rmb ur 18th bday(pre) forever!

Its finally out! PW results! I got A... B! I think B's worth 7-8pts? Anyway, very happy liao! Was thinking it'd b C coz my portfolio bad n the wr was... PJ141 were reflecting that recess... Jin was unhappy coz of... aiyoh... Then didi was like his usual self, Mark was satisfied i tink. Fenru... same as me and think she's happy too! Budden wen we mention wr, she like quite sad coz the wr was a struggle, she stayed up late to finish it wif Jin. Me, didi and mark were Zzzing. Wah i felt so bad la! Wish i can see the op results for our grp to know if it really was WR that pull the marks down (hope its the portfolio) Also remind me of smth... why are teenage girls so niao abt doin the extra load of work... No offence but isnt it all fine if the work is done in the end? This remind me of The mc camp's case... Mayb i'm weird coz i prefer to solo projects (those i like, lol!) coz liddat can control the result i desire, in the end job's done can le.

Fridae evening, went bballing with the dudes then makan Botak Jones. Reached ther like 8pm+ and got our food like 9.30? Late dinner but enjoyed the crapping session while waiting. Basically the 1hr+ was like:

Roge n rome: 'Fire starters', throwing insults at each other then compare some 'cute onot?' thing

Json: 'Bragger', walking Wiki providing all sorts of info n facts

Na: The Wacked', always got teased by all

Boss: 'Silencer', Kept quiet all the way ( 90% of the time ...) and jus listened

Lee: 'Nonsenser', abit extra wen he tried to add in things of lil relevance, overall noise adder

Me: 'Loler', LOLLOLOL, i was laughing all the way to rome's jokes!

This should be a cool crapper's grp coz u need all these roles! Short of Chewy this time who'll be The wacked no.2. Ate fish n chips which was ... okok, no diff from those from beauty world but the fries still pawns all!

Ytd was... i dunno wad happended all day coz was sleeping like from like 1pm to 5pm and i woke up at 11am!!! Then go on to slp at 1am on Sundae morn... Zzz day.

Afternoon Zzz is bad!

2008-04-06T22:10:00.003+08:00

Another afternoon wasted... on napping. Duno why always fell asleep during afternoons, esp weekends... Knew tis would happen, lucky finished most hw on Sat nite. Now doin another round of revision for physics spa.

Ytd went out to eat with family, mum, dad, couzes, granny, aunt n her family. Went to esplanade there the hawker center. Which is like a freaking reap off, hokkien mee $4? At least the envo ther nice, can see river, fullerton and the huge durian! Ate quite lil even though they ordered alot, satay, hokkien mee, fried rice, popiah, etcs. Very scared eat too much then my fitness plan gone to waste. NAFFA comin! Must buck up on stamina. So... avoided spicy food then onli eat satay, popiah and hokkien mee (bo bian, irresitable) Went home after a visit to the library@Esplanade then on the way saw wy on bus.

Today quite slack, early noon then woke up. Had breakfast and do sudoku... other pple in the household doin housework n i was on the sofa persisting to finish the 5 star sudoku. Took like 30mins lol! So happy can finish! Normally find it super difficult to do sudoku on ppr coz i cant seem to recognize my own handwritting so got repeat of no.s oso wont notice. Then after awhile of study... Zzz while reading econs article -.-" Bad bad habit... b4 dinner woke up tio scolded by dad... once again...

清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂... don't think so

2008-04-01T21:20:00.003+08:00

Last weekend went back to msia for 清明节. The usual annual event, very very important though, honouring deceased relatives. Anyway its also like a spring day outing sorta occasion.

This years' 清明节not very fun coz short of lotsa pple. From 2伯family short of hweejie, from mine... bro not there coz suspected of dengue... on mc cannot leave home. 4叔and4婶themselves absent to watch Hanjie's graduation concert, yunjie still in US. 5婶dunno wer, Eujie and Yijie married liao... with new family and xi & fei somewer far schooling. Sigh~ pathetic, we're damn slow in the whole process of cleaning and praying, took longer than previous years coz short of manpower. zengjie describe previous years as '整个山都是我们的声音'. Indeed, we'd laugh and chit chat with lots of pple around during 清明节.

Ended like 10am (no time for prata breakfast) which is super late compared to last year, luckily weather not very hot and its breezy on the hills. Lots of pple were there b4 us... some ignite fire crackers!!! OMG la! thats gonna b damn loud coz got echo from such high places. Before leaving got a very interesting question posted by himgor to ten. This is how it goes:
Him: 田，你看你有这么多叔叔姑姑。将来我们死了，你要帮很多人扫墓蕾。
Ten: ... ... ... (blurr blurr & scratch head)
Me: 就是罗田，你现在一定要好好学我们这么样扫墓。
Ten: :)(smile smile)
Zeng: 不要紧啦田，叔叔姑姑都会有自己的孩子的，你带头就可以了。
Haha! Seems like Ten duno how important she is as the oldest 何生, great responsibilities.

Anyway, hope that next year will have more pple able to make it for 清明节coz it really helps alot and of course more fun with more couzes arnd!
清明时节雨纷纷is wrong coz no雨纷纷, last year it did drizzle, serious! Then dad was reciting this poem :P
路上行人欲断魂is also wrong coz some of us couzes were so happy chatting and crapping. Me and Chuin were talking abt gunbound then also the sch stuff.

After sch de sch is fun!

2008-03-28T23:29:00.002+08:00

Been keeping up with sch work... manage to do everything b4 datelines... which is a gd thing of course! Comes with a sacrifice... waking up like 4am everyday? not a sacrifice actually coz hav to slp early, 10pm. Trying hard to get into this habit coz pros like lei-jie told me to wake up early study, memory better. Not sure abt the memory part but I think its useful coz i m the non-day'er, active after sunset...

Recently found some meaning in sch... actually its more like the time after dismissal. been staying back these days to study and chat arnd with some class dudes. Very interesting coz we'd crap all sorts of things then also talk abt serious stuffs related to hw. Really really hoping for myself to discover more reasons to love sch coz lessons' gonna totally bore me real soon.

Its also because of home i guess... sick of the environment, suddenly here complain there quarrel. One bloody thicked skinned ultimate performer, one most freaking free yet do nth much de, one lazy then super sensitive till bwg and lastly one NATO... Sigh, which is why prefer staying in sch and to slp early so can dun bother with anything.

Aside from that... CA results, comments... wadeva lo. Can strictly say is bad but wad to do, as if can wake me up immediately. Seems like early the year and late 2007 bother too much abt non-academic stuff... now its the time to pump everything into producing gd results liao. Wanna win Jin in maths for mid year so thats the tiny goal for now. Then also hav fun in sch too!

Einstein Cradle's preparation 只不过如此...

2008-03-24T22:53:00.003+08:00

Sunday and monday preparing for EC, got dryrun on mondae morn... Sun meet at bb mac with Ruien and Shuqing. We did the cardboard thing, cut out gears then wanna design experiment/showcase for the kids during EC. Spend like 3hrs on cutting based on the template then try them out on the base board. We learnt something though... 2 gears, say... 1(A) with 2 times the teeth as the other(B) will turn half the no. of times as compared to B to meet at the same place again! Incredible lei! Another thing is also... 3 gears put in 1 triangle cannot turn -.-... didnt noe lol.

After that all went home... then me n sq saw this coke truck parked near the mrt station, givin out free coke... here's how it goes (smth liddat)
sq: wah! givin out free coke lei!
me: huh? really meh? wan onot?
sq: u wan?
me: erh... dun wan la
sq: ... ... ... (i wan!!!) <---assumption from facial expression
me: ok la! let's go take, LOL!
Here's an example showing that foreigners are becoming more Singaporean when they live in SG for such a long period! Kiasuism and 'bu na bai bu na' attitude... LOL, we squeezed through the crowd and hands out for the coke ZERO. Quite nice actually but its retarded coz taste like coke light...

The following mondae (today) was waste of time... go to sch for dry run. Briefing was like nth la, the dry run was... meaningless. We discussed everyting among the grp then later... wen the teachers n 'audiences' come...3mins onli lo... wth! Come sch do this sai for 3 mins then nth else... Should hav stayed at home to chiong the BJT vid or finish up magnetism... After that go makan with gotd, hotman and Ruien at ljs. The potato with cheese damn nice (nice amt of calories too). We talk kok like for another 30mins after finishing food, jokes n more jokes then also on movies.

Reached home actually wanna study budden lao mao bing... fell asleep... shyt, i think i should remove my matress during the day so that i wont get sucked to the bed, LOL! Ok, enough crapping, better go slp soon, decided to do magnetism tut tml morning.

Interesting Saturday!

Ok...1stly, in the afternoon, my house is FLOODED!!! WhOMG!!! Flood? In an apartment? 2nd storey? Sunny day? Living room? LOL! Coz bros' stupid water tank got leak, in the end half the tank the water gone... to the living room floor! Its retarded coz we knew it onli like half the tank gone, dad was sleeping on sofa then i was walking over to wake him up... then zomg y the floor suddenly so reflectiv... Tada! flooded! Mom n me had to mop the floor, blast the fan to dry it.

2ndly, while doin some research on Einstein's Cradle... managed to dig out some fav old toys... LEGO!!! Hmmm, coz the topic is Gears for EC, then tink of using the LEGO technics to make display n demo... In the end up taking everyting out, 3 boxes, had to resort them: the flat, fat n slim bricks then the small small items. Thats not all, decided to build a ship :D Its done in a day! Abit weird coz of the colors coz limited bricks of same colors but design quite nice. Very fun coz its like... childhood stuff, alwez got dad to buy LEGO then aunt Olive will oso buy for me n bro. Haha, now got like alot liao then feel like building smth cool. Those LEGO got value de ok! Will definately pass it down to the next generation! LEGO is awonderful invention, helps people to tink creatively.

Lastly, played gb with ruien, jin, drew, xk and jj. Hack!!! LOL! Earned avrg 2k/game!!! COOL la!!! Its like every hit oso tio all the bonuses, regardless of whos turn oso can earn gold. Spam liao! Can earn gold like mad... but i'm not very into gb now... coz no time then wanna do many other tings. Ruien u ATM!

Thats all! Very fun day unlike the usual 'go school, eat, come home, slp' days... I hope all the holidaes got these kinda crazy stuff!!!

Some update... after CA08

2008-03-21T17:32:00.003+08:00

Room after CA: notes aside, go online!

whOMG! 'regular' serving indeed

Just finished CA, feeling all fine, even though expected that it'll turn out quite crappy but nvm, enjoyed doin the paper, esp Chem, Challenging! Given more time, really really wanna redo the paper!

That links to wad i wanna complain abt sch... y in the world do they set papers that is so'unrealistic'... 60mins for 40 mcqs, which are all so 'need more than 2mins to tink de' qns, wth??? Thats for chem... which is the subj which i find most interesting but pianpian dun let me score. So far, only for maths n chem that i'd sit down n guai guai study. LOL, i gotta reserver one posts to complain abt studying...

That aside, on weds went with boss n json to eat somewer near Jin house, botak jones lol! I think the menu's meant to confuse u coz its so informal and more like a magazine, then the 'regular' for a set meal is HUGE, i bet the large is SUPERB. Managed to finish it though. Friday, after chem ppr, went out with the class guys for bowling, not bad, raised my average to 110 liao. Makes me feel like goin back to Mayfair to play often since its so inexpensive ther.

Hmmm... oh and oso, congrats Jim and Youyou! Nice string of A's. Jim, i think u can just come SG and apply for JC, then go med sch liao, ur definately the study type! As for You, unexpected wor... Ur bro arh... sad for him.

Dunno wad to do these days, its 4 days holidae so i tink i'll just focus on EC and go gym intensive.

Happy Go Lucky

2008-03-15T02:06:00.002+08:00

Dunno if i should be doin this now... its exam in 3 days yet watched TV till quite late. Anyway, its like this, watched this show 'happy go lucky' on channel 8 at 12am... Very touching, about 3 disabled person, the mentally disabled, spasm(wads the word for it?) and blind. They are the minorities who live in our society and have their own touching story. Live with discriminations and stares... they've to be both strong willed and patient... sometimes they might not have faith in themselves (thinking that people will mock or symphatize em) and thats the biggest hurdle. I'll stop with the wise/ noble words, I jus think they're great, xiao di wo peifu!

From this, I think I am very very very very very very very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very veryvery very very very very FORTUNATE. I love my parents and what the world gave me. Most importantly duno why got this feeling I WANNA help these people, I just want to! Shyt? Issit coz of mum's influence? She just loves to help any1 around her, for no reasons, for no returns. Everytime I sae her chi kui... sekali i next time oso liddat la! Will think over these stuffs, mayb will be concern to my career at the mean time continue muggin!

Mug mode: [Night]

2008-03-10T21:56:00.003+08:00

Its seems like I M nocturnal... 1st day of CA study quest, no mood at all... CANT STUDY!!! 1stly cant sit still, 2ndly nth goes through the brain, 3rdly just dun feel like writing. Probably cannot do any muggin in the day and guess hav to try at nite... Usually wake up study at 3am, it works! so, tonight gonna study like till 3 then go slp, wake up arnd 10am then do some less intensiv work. That's it! I've decided to go with this mugging style, abit abnormal but hav to try since its the better way.

In the afternoon, day dreamin, then suddenly remember this tune and song 'So when you smile like Mona Lisa, My heart falls to piece...' Ooh, thats the so long time ago song I used to listen during the days in Gandhi. Anyway, the song is soooo nice mayb coz its part of childhood and duno y suddenly thought of its tune...(By right should be concentrating on studies LOL!)

MC camp 08

2008-03-10T00:11:00.005+08:00

Wee~~~finally the camp is here! After all the planning n preparation for weeks... Friday to Sat, 20 hrs camp.

Before that was A level result release... both happiness and sorrows, PJ results not bad actually, quite a number straight A's de. Congrats to J3s, LOL! felt sorry for those who didnt make it or results not as gd de, some were seen crying, i dun even dare to take photos la, scared they emo then come rip my cam apart. Hmmm, other imp tings include release of A's MT results, got B Merit!!! Yay! think quite gd le la, coz didnt expect better, rmb during the ppr, treat it like some exercise ppr la, didnt really do it seriously :P but here it is... B!

Moving on to the camp, hmmm, total turn up arnd 20... a third of J1s n rest J2s. Starting off, had intro then fun games which was rather successful and most of us get to know each other names, know but not familiar. Sihui very enthu, nice nice, shes like the drive to all the events, thanks da si jie! Well, had bbq after that and I think it was a total failure, mainly coz of the food, too much, ended up throwing em. Felt really really bad abt wasting those food... sigh~

The schedule changed quite abit, no more debrief due to the retarded bbq. After cleaning up, went to bathe then go up to chiill alil in at the 'bunk'. At arnd 2am, me n Haozhao still havin meeting n doin planning for tml, poor her, dun tink she very used to this kinda jobs... staying up late for the 1st time, then have to accept lots of changes. I'm really really sorry for that gal... Hope u understand; mayb can treat this as a trial coz dun tink u've experienced much difficulties in 'work'. Pls dun hate me coz i know u feel fustrated and sad at one time coz i sound abit bossy and demanding, sorry sorry sorry! On the other hand thanks Jes for being the negotiator, that 1 sentence did enlighten her.

Aside from emo stuffs, Day 2, everything went as planned, well... sort of... the 1st part. morning call for every1, i slept like 5mins? Me n Haozhao went all over the sch to set up stations. Then at arnd 9 start the race... Here i shall evaluate each station

1) Human Twister
Was quite successful, the game was simple in the 1st place i tink, anyway hope every1 loves that game... originated from Negi Magi Magister!
2) Mentos wadeva
Supposed to be very simple game, blindfolds and tied legs, bowl of flour and bucket of coins. Only miscalculation is the pepper part... So sorry to all participations... didnt think the pepper cause so much discomfort. Its my idea! My Fault!
3) 3D Spiderweb
This started out to be horizontal web, last minute jus came out with this. Quite challenging i guess, like goin through a infra-red field... nth to evaluate on this.

Lastly, its water games, not really considered a station, mayb a final showdown? Start off with attack or block, abit way off from wad is planned, these people arh... as though must wet some1 then happy, they jus kept moving! Anyway, i was like 40% during tis game, and like getting to the end, 100% wet... Those J2s... Tady(particularly, must get me at all cost), Mai n Sihui... i guess nvm la, since they help set the mood, i cant possibly be pissed off. To get the programs running, proceed on to water bomb! Nth to sae, bombs away! Joined in the fun too, so so very fun that I forgot the time :P Ended like 12+. Had debrief then break camp.

Got bro to pick me up after leaving sch coz was totally beat... although no other casualties, my specs had, got chipped off coz off Guihao's attck, nvm i guess, accidents happen and its not like it'll affect me much. Got home straight away slp then only woke up for dinner...

More importantly, things that i learn through the camp. Being a leader is really not easy, esp when u need to earn respect and trust. Lucky the J1s very steady and also the J2s, quite cooperative. But i'm really really curious to know about every1s honest thoughts abt my performance as camp OIC, anything bad, crappy, shytty, Just tell me! Abt Haozhao's case, think that i'm mostly at fault, didnt put myself into your situation and duno u r so fragile and easily panicked. I'm too much concerned with getting the camp perfect... my bad, i'll rmb this lesson forever: to be in some1 else's shoes. Lastly, I'm glad that i had another perfect memory in PJ as a student, the fun times and people, thank you all of u for making my college dream come true!

Well, thats all for camp, CA's comin up, full force weiwei! Fight-To-OH!!!

Camps always reminds me of this very cute song, Haha! To those who think camps sux and terrible... think twice! Its fun!

last day of J2-T1

2008-03-06T16:35:00.003+08:00

Its officially last day of Term 1, time past real fast in feb... during jan was complaining abt sianess, then now feb gone liao! of course... means CA lo. No real stratergy on how to fight this battle... just mug like mad during the hols? Its 1 week, i'd think its too long, makes me wanna sleep and slack around... Study maths, erh, chem on monday.... hmmm, no... still got so many days ahead, slack for 2dae bah! <--- this is the usual reaction bah.

Anyway today very very slack in school. Early in the morning receive award for the SDMA... merit onli. bo bian, cannot expect much, the project is done so half heartily and rushed. 1st lesson chem tutorial, piang jus did revision on organicx based on rev ws 1 and 2. 2nd tutorial was maths followed by lecture... nth much, all rev stuff. Lastly GP, lol, quite boring coz the last part of the lesson was reading... End of the day... hmmm, i only remembered the 'all the best for your exams' from all teachers the class see today.

After end of the thing got class bonding... not very 'nice' actually... 1st not every1 wanna play tis murderer game and some of em dun even noe wad isit... not even me i tink. So... there's like many moments of silence then silence then silence again... totally not in the mood. Initially wanna prank/sabo Sam the bday boi... due to some reasons, everything jus failed. Blame on what? Failed to plan? Break down in msg? inappropriate way to sabo? Tml GP? Wadeva issit, i dun like the feeling of it.

And as for this week, wanna concentrate on camp, once ended max drive on CA. Oh...and Happy Birthday Samuel!

So the fault lies in...

2008-03-05T23:02:00.003+08:00

Why in the world am I so worried? (M:coz u bother F:U've nth better to do!)
Why do I care so much? (M:its your duty. F:ur retarded)
What is it with me? (M:ur gd, keep it up! F:eat dust, ur wasting time!)
In the 1st place why do I have this character? (M:Inheritance F:u just stabbed yourself)

It sux to sae that responsibility is a virtue... Its bullshit!
Why issit everytime, i wan things done perfectly, issit coz i bother how pple judge me? or issit the way i am... It just sux... waste time, waste energy and sacrificing important stuffs. I hate myself! Why cant I just, giv simple answers like 'wdv', 'ok, then how?' or 'ya, try la'??? Wished i'm given a month to be in those idlers shoes, ignore this and 'sui bian' that.

Wake up Shuwei! U better stay low this year... Dun let responsibili-saur bite your ass and lose your A's.

Out of curiosity...

"Ur born on the Emperors' shoulder!" - mum

2008-02-29T22:22:00.003+08:00

Very surprised about something mum mentioned weeks ago... n i've been keeping it in mind. Through daily life and observations, jus wanna see if its true.

Back in Indo during the Holidaes, mum read an article on the papers, saw this intersting article on some fortune telling based on birth dates n time... then see which category are u in... Anyway, 1 day, she told me to take care, do more charity work coz she see me under the category of the emperors' ankle... thats like the lowest and worst? Highest being the head. The bad thing is followed by the elaboration. Being born at the ankle: work hard all ur life, must live and work far away from home, will marry twice and only had better life at old age... Wah, was abit affected although dun really believe it. The part on work hard all my life is like so... sad then marry twice, i wouldn't wan that too! So after that, jus ban xin ban yi. Then my mum jus sae do more charity work jus in case. Then during jan to feb i keep using this excuse to tell dad abt letting me drop JC then go overseas coz i'm supposed to work far from home!

Anyway, jus near cny wen mum brought up this topic to the aunts... she suddenly felt the need to recheck my birthcert... So, there she goes... went to check... the final result is... Not that bad! Her mistake! I'm born on the shoulder! Thats probly like the 2nd best! Song bo! LOL! She dug out that article again then read the description to me... wealthy throughout your life, good life from middle age onwards, filial decendents, feng yi zhu shi and have received help from frens n siblings! ALL Positive! Come to think of it... its so very true? i've nv actually frown over food or clothes... wealth so so and my bro cared alot for me even though he doesnt show it much. Since its so far from ankle, no need to seperate from family! No need to bia like mad! And... Happy family i shall hav, one happy and lasting marriage foreva!

Somehow I felt like believing in this fortune telling thing coz its telling gd stuffs abt my future :P Its becoming a confidence booster for me as it just keeps reminding me that 'My 'ming' is set to be quite positive and its up to myself to strive for it!' It's actually not gd to believe too much on these kinda fortune telling stuff budden y not use it as an encouragement... like u wanna work harder and not givin up so that u can achieve wad is predicted. So Fight-to-OH! Work for the gd future that awaits me!

End of term still so busy...

2008-02-28T22:09:00.002+08:00

Its 2nd last week till end of term 1 budden still so many things to do lah!

1) MC Camp, proposal must finalize, then needa brief, then needa prepare everything coz the camp's in a weeks time!!! Haven even tried out any games, budget n item list haven plan... Zomg la, so many tings to do over the weekends. I WAN THE CAMP SUCCESSFUL!!!

2) My studies getting crappierly lousy... all the recent test, only manage to do 50%. Maths and chem, screwed! Tml's chem spa, i dun care, mus bia! Barely hav the time to do revision coz all apend on hw and sch activities. GP CA comin up yet i dun hav anytime to do something abt it! What on earth m i doin!

3) China trip presentation... come so sudden la! for the past few weeks, we didnt even rehearse or anything, then suddenly this week mrs wee wanna see us for rehearsal! Luckily its informal, or else i doomed liao. Today present to her n the others... quite ok, jus some erh... and hmm... here n there. Content wise nth much to change jus that cant say funny things la, coz some people might misunderstood n feel offended. Mrs Wee so busy, hardly got time to prepare us, so cannot dissapoint her!

So far these are the main stuffs thats clogging up the week. Every morning hav to wake up betwn 4-5am to rush work n revise... sorry mum for dragging u into these, u can continue to slp actually, no need to attend to me! Mum's so worried for me, givin me tonics, vitatmin c then also Chicken essence coz scared i doze off in sch. Then also prepare all the things i need, leave me out from helping her with housework. Then since i'm sick for so many days, she's quite stressed too... preparing this n that (the tonic drink sux!)

Anyway, i think i've to do my part too, no more complains. thats recovering to the usual self then finish up my work n b the mugger that i've nv become since O's. Went to swim ytd then to steam room to train... hopefully can lose some mass, but risky coz its yi du gong du, make my headache worst. well, its an attempt to recover! Hw so far finishing those thats due but GDI, its piling up again! Wads wrong with the sch man! near common test liao, still giv so much hw, wan us to revise still giv... even if the hw helps in revision, should also consider the amt wad! Its as if we take only 1 subj...

PJC02'08, me doin duty

2008-02-22T20:42:00.004+08:00

Silence before the storm

Its War~~~!!!

Very very steady de Delta! I like!

Good job Zhilun and dance ic's for passing on the DANCES

Orientation 2 starts on weds, i'm not from sc nor an ogl... only a photographer 'hired' to go take some random photos for them. Weds didnt do anything much, coz got china people, hosting em. Thursdae, taking photos for the whole afternoon. Walking arnd with the cam, snap here and ther, from field to canteen, canteen to hall, hall to parade sq, then back to field again... go like 3 rounds la. I think the J1s somehow know me as the cameraman liao la! Later on at arnd 3+ or 4... sibei sian liao, coz doin repitative rounds, the J1s were either playing station games or learning dances. So... went back to mc room, plan to do hw de, budden oops, fell asleep on the comp desk for like 1hr. Woke up, its 5, jus time for war games!!! Waiting for this, finished then go home.

Very similar to 2007 O2 the war games. water bombs flying arnd then j1s running abt. Before that when the people gathered, walked arnd on the field to take pics of the crowd and some interesting peeps. Used long lense coz 1st scared tio water so must shoot from far, 2nd wanna capture moments without some baka people purposely siam away... Always hate those who insisted on covering their faces or like die die mus siam de lo... help u take photo, y so scared. War starts, zhaoed to the steps of course, or else get wet.

Actually the main thing to tink abt is that photography is getting more interesting. Bcoz haha, very special feeling some1 will sae thanks to u wen u help em take pics. Received quite a number of thanks n feeling quite happy. Then another ting is that, wen u aim ur cam at those people who r willing to hav their photos taken, they will giv those lovely smiles that is hardly seen. And, even for those who didnt pose for u, u can jus capture the moments wen they're carefree, lively and while at play. Nice nice la! Somehow, taking pictures' getting more fun, whether taking pics or being taken, very enjoyable!

Bye to friends from China!!!

2008-02-21T06:06:00.006+08:00

Eat, Makan, chi, mummum

KK's buddy, ChaoWei

Me & Moi Buddy

Love & Peace

Since I'm abit high this day, will play this song by HAMC, one of all time fav

The week's busy with hosting of students from China, the high sch I went to visit the last Dec break in 2007. Seeing my buddy again! My feeling was: omg! so not prepared to host him. Then wen heard its only 3 days, the feeling was: WAH! so little days, how to make him feel welcomed and blabla...

Anyway, 1st 2 days, we had school immersion stuffs, attending lessons together and for them, some talks and activities. Its just like what we did we we're in Beijing. Well... nth to comment for the 2 days, lessons? He jus listened and we talked abt some random crap, then we go hahaha!

Things worth mentioning is the last few hours they're in sch on the 3rd day. Since its the last day, there's this talk from the principal, then, mass lunch and some free time. During the talk in the Arcadia, damn paiseh la, coz supposed to take pics in the room, then i stumbled while rushing over to the front to take pics. Make some noise and every1 jus starred at me! Aiyah... felt so bad coz 1stly its my wrong to let the 'models' wait and being unprepared. 2ndly, I attract so much unecessary attention when cameraman is supposed to be the covet person. Mdm Kong even asked for my name, freak me out!

Later on got lunch, went to join Nadiah and her buddy for lunch, my buddy's table full liao. Nice meeting em, coz her buddy (trying to rmb the name,will update asap) kept trying to speak english to us... duh, for the sake of Nadiah. Anyway they also very high, with the rest of the people in that table. Makan makan then took some pics :D

After lunch, attended assembly, cannot really concentrate on the speakers coz its hot and stuffy and... the ppt is so badly designed? few hundred minutes spent on the ppt that can barely attract pples attention, so many words! At arnd 1.30pm+, we all went out as a grp, bringing our China buddies to Lot1. I didnt bring mine! coz he sae he wanna go play bball, then he had to stick arnd with Tze wei (sorry dude, mafan u take care of my buddy!) Anyway,I oso need to go lot1 get present for Jin, went with Tangwah to Watsons to get... condoms, lol, for Jin, so wanna see his face wen he open the present box! After shopping for some other random stuffs, went to meet the China dudes at the foodcourt. They were eating prata and some local delights. Anyway, while we were talking, i showed them the condom me n bro bought and i said its for bday present... The 2 ladies jus go LMAO and they were not awkward at all la! They even sae they bought lubricating oil for a guy's birthday back in Beijing! Then Kahkian also managed to trick his salted fish buddy (ChaoWei) that the pack of condom is sweet... LOL! He actually believed la and put it in his pocket (accepting the gift?) In the end tell him then he abit shy shy... Later on got 1 guy oso tio... ROLF, innocent teens. With exception of 1 guy, he knew wad issit by jus holding the box for 3 secs, according to ZhiXiang he very flurt de... thats y.

After makan, talk for awhile more then we chiong back to sch liao, actually still wanna go neoprint de budden no time. This means goodbye... Awww~~~ I dun wan~~~ wen we reached sch, every1 was gathering in the concourse area, taking pics, chatting, saying gd bye n stuffs. Sad sad scene. I talked with my buddy for the last 30mins, jus entertaining him... he himself abit passive actually, so didnt get very engaged in convos, I m the 1 alwes talking -.- While sending em off, we actually planned to make it a dramatic farewell, haha, chase bus! In the end no 1 do, i hold cam so cannot run.

So... Byebye to buddies from Beijing! we'll miss u! Hope to see ya'll again!

4 days of Cny celebration in Msia, every year stuff but this year was somehow exceptionally fun, mayb coz 1) every1's grown up 2) Come out with more stuff to do 3) A new generation is involved... every year, around b4 cny, hardly went back on chuxi to da shao chu... so paiseh let all of those who were there do.

Eve

After sch in the afternoon, got pulled over to westmall to do last minute shopping with mom n dad (suppose to hav class lunch, so paiseh psed em). Then very soon, set off at like 3+pm reaching jus in time for reunion dinner. Meat! Meat! Nothing really grand like shark's fin or abalone, budden its jus a special feeling eating with the family. Lots of us gathered in that Kampong house. Hoshus at the living room, the older gens at the kitchen n outside chatting. Bro fixed the router and tadah! Internet access for every lappy owners in da house! Its called Wireless@Pagoh... lol, sound so...starhub.

Later that nite, waited for countdown, it was after dinner, all chiong fireworks and sparkle stuffs! DAMN fun la! Even Ten & Pu played, lit one of the yan huas. Then we teens all play the 1 that shoots up then go boom de! We tried launching it from inside of a long pipe then also a double rocket, Song bo la!!! Ian kor bought the retarded 8 bucks 1... thought is gonna b super cool, budden so sian la: SCAMMED! Before 12am, dad also dragged me all the way to muar the guanyin temple to pray, coz got this thing fan tai shui... for all the horses, so its advised to go pray for a smooth year. No objections, jus go lo, play safe.

Its 12am! Happy New Year! After countdown, all chiong to see fire works... Lol, lucky is kampong area, police not so active arnd ther. Whenever got some 'pah, pak, boom' noise, we all chiong outside go see which household light the fire crackers... The Hos' did is too but ours sibei short compared to others... Got 1 household... wth la, 100m of the fire crackers, like 10mins then finish. Me n Leehom watch like 2mins zhao back to play our stuffs.

Sleep at arnd 4am... shou shui (guard sleep) then also look over the candles... duno for wad actually, custom & tradition stuffs, jus follo lo. 1st to giv angbao, Ahpo of course!

Day1

Overslept! zOMG! Missed out so much fun... woke up at 11am... damn. Aunts n uncles giv out angbao session gone... lucky they still rmb to giv me later in the day. 5shu already gathered so many people to play cards liao, most of which is the Hoshu gen. sian sian woke up by Ten n Pu, go eat branch then change into new clothes coz got many guests coming. Since its 1st day of ny, must pamper myself with loads of crap... food esp. My usual diet (every hr): sweets, green peas, roast nuts, Carlsb (share with shuyi), Angelia Shandy, Prawn crakers and other random crap that can b found in the kitchen or living room.

Played cards, games talk kok, sing song, watch tv all the way till evening then... the very least expected activity: play badminton. Wth... 1st day new year, play badminton... Its nth wrong actually jus that, after so much food, wear nice nice clothes, have to change to exercise, then scared nex dae too tired to continue go bainian. Also played bball... then day 1 ended with most of us worn out.

Day2

Woke up slightly earlier, 10 lol! Usual diet... can drinks! Nuts! Sweets! ate very little during proper meals coz of all these :D Lunch went do Muar @ Big aunts' house, steamboat! Was playing with zhizhi while watching THE MYTH... nice nice. Coolest thing: zhizhi's baby bro, liankhang was super-duper-mega-uber-ultra-bwg KAWAII la! Indeed, he received the nation's cutest baby award 2008, got news article on him pasted on the wall. Make some noise infront of him, he'll jus laugh, its like he shared your joy. Arms stretched out, confirm crawl towards u... zOMG la! 1st time see him, bwg... too good to b true.

Evening went back, no more badminton... at night went to eat dinner @ Oasis bay, food normal normal la, but we had lotsa fun taking pics by the river! All the other guest and visitors stared at us and like all giggling la... LOL! Heck! Nite went back to eat yongjie's birthday cake which is so oishii coz got yogurt in the top layer. Sleep quite late also... watching Starmovies with Leehom, Chuin, Shuyi and Youyou.

Day3

Yosh! Last day in Msia, must spend wisely. Actually every1 abit slack slack liao. Feel like new year long time gone liao, mayb coz played too much. Since its Saturdae... rmbed got hw... n i happened to bring them jus that nv take out for the past 3 days :P Did onli like very lil bit coz Ten was bugging me the whole afternoon, she seem like gonna b very lonely coz holidaes gonna end and every1 leaving, somemore its her birthday todae! After lunch, another round of birthdae songs n cake. Back to SG... @ arnd 12... stupid traffic jam at SG custom... Wth Sg officials thinking? So inefficient, even msia custom no serious jam la.

Back at home, prepared for bainian the next day with classmates... Go zzz while reflecting:

CNY is alwez fun with the family, esp with many many people. Then somemore if got long holidae, can really enjoy myself! Now that many of us had grown up, I realised cny not only food n angbao, its really abt family reunion and moments we all spent together...

I LOVE BEING A HOSHU!!!

Lastly, mus thank Ahgong and Ahpo alot alot and alot! coz like dad alwes sae: no them, no us!

Clean the room I must!

2008-02-03T23:24:00.000+08:00

Study table... never tidy coz of sch!

Bookshelf... still very messy

Bu zhi bu jue gonna CNY liao... CANT WAIT!!! Of course to ying jie this special occasion must do spring cleaning, however... only my room, not the whole house (yet). I think only my room looks more pleasant, not the living room nor dining room, its like a boarding house for bunch of youngsters... hardly any adults are present. Woke up super late... 12pm lol! Still in pyjamas, makan nasi lemak bro bought, supposed to b breakfast, anyway eat then start work!

Start off with tidying things up... drawers, study table, book shelf and all 4 corners. Study table... tried to 'tidy' it but in the end like... still the same? just that books and some items look neater. Rearrange the bookshelf, remove some crap then tidy the bottom segment which is full of old stuff: bbss year books, 30cm thick of sec sch test pprs and some books+guides which i find useful and wanna keep em ther. Not much repositioning of comics, jus move some here n ther, anticipate some new bks to come in this Sat.

Cleaning the drawers took most of the time. Coz was taking everything out then saw lots of stuffs thats reminising. Some interesting things that i wanna mention so that I wont forget them in the future:

1. Thick stacks of Hongbao since like 2004?

2. Some hand written letters from frens and couzes... Its so hard to find em todae with email.

3. Bag of small gifts since pri sch. Starred at those that the GMIS people gave me... Hao huai nian... Catherine, Stephanie, Tony, Kevin and this dumb Laos girl... LOL

4. All the badges, collar pins and anything thats pinnable. Missed my prefect badge so much, still quite shiny!

5. class/grp photos, mostly quite recent, E3, 01 grp16, J1... crap... i must dig out those from GMIS and SQPS de!

Sometimes duno y the hell I still keep all these crap... Mayb coz huai jiu. Dun wanna throw em away coz they DO bring back memories, n i think i spent quite some time jus sitting on the floor thinking back on the 'old days'. Probly ten years later, it'll really b old days... coz got many more bunch of interesting peeps whos worthy 2 b in my memories.

After cleaning, do some sch work then watch tv. Went to pick dad n mum from airport (n had dinner at mac ther wif bro)... They're finally back, after suffering in Indo due to the flood; still looking fine, got lots of food from Indo... think they're for CNY. Then another thing made me recall my days in GMIS... mum found my GMIS student card in Indo house n passed it to me. wah~~~ i really miss those peeps, wonder if they still rmb me. I rmb Tony told me 2008 is their last year, so guess even if I see em on the streets oso will not recognize... felt wasted. Even when every1 is like 10+ years old... we had so much fun together, we're all from diff countries, thats wad makes it so special. Then we learnt so many language... from English, then Bahasa, French, mandarin and tagalogue(?) and hindi. Aiyah... so much more! One day... I wanna dig out all GMIS related stuff and make a log.

Test intensive week... survived!

2008-02-01T22:29:00.000+08:00

Hectic week, full of events! 1st part, mondae and tuesday nth much actually... As usual, end late then 2 PE lessons. Tuesday went to terminate piano class, too busy, decision's fixed, i'll leave it aside till end of BMT next year. Then... during one of the weeks assembly, school compliment us for the CIP on sunday! Yay! Good job 07S22 peeps! We deserve it ya!?

2nd half of the week's not relaxing like it used to be... TESTS! OMG! 3 subjs somemore! Managed to study some of em the last weekend, but due to cip, nv actually put time into it. Anyway, weds mug time of course, till like 6pm reach home already dead beat, after dinner, unintentionally slept, then woke up at 2am! So... continue to study lo... chem, sigh... duno how to tackle, its all memorising work. Thurday morning, 1st 2 hours maths n chem test... got owned upside down. See chem qns, familiar but duno how to write -.- ... Maths, not enough time. Giv myself some hope for friday's phy! *BURN WITH DETERMINATION* (&_&)!!!

Enjoyed doing the test coz its like the 1st phy test wer i understand everything! However, duno wad marks will come out... sekali single digit again. Jus hope it's worth the sacrifice of my sleep time!

After school went with bunch of class peeps to queensway to collect class shirt. Its always different when we go out as a class, more to talk and gossip, more close. I'm so so so happy! :D:D:D The class shirt was NICE! NIKE lei! I'm lovin it! Wore it immediately at queensway, then went to IKEA to have hotdog... at ther left me, jin, aizen, shuqing, shir, fenru, Sam and Ruien... IKEA hotdogs confirm more TANTALISING than good news tantalising tuesday hotdogs la!

Reached home arnd 6pm... since i'm feeling uber happy, went to gym to exhaust myself coz still in the high mode. Today was really intensive such that i didnt noe i can tahan so much. 2 sets of all the STR stuff then 30mins on threadmill with speed 8.0. I can survive! Actually decide to go SPA room dehydrate and sweat more budden sibei tired liao. So far've been skipping dinner, 3 days liao... hope can reduce weight, haha!!!

Class CIP @ taman jurong CC

2008-01-28T01:34:00.000+08:00

Auntie very ON lei!

Kawaii little girl, she dao me!

Come eat

Guys who Dao

Feeling very happy and high today! 2nd Major class CIP in JC, in fact the most enjoyable so far. 15 of the class people including me went to Taman Jurong CC there to help out in a CNY celebration with senior citizens in the constituency. Pioneers asign to distribute some goods, serve food and alos escort the senior citizens who need help in carrying heavy stuffs back home. Also got some pri sch kids and also J1 students from JJ there helping us, majority of em doin ushering.

Day started very very early, had to wake up like 5am... go bustop, wait like 20mins no bus -.-... So early... coz meeting at mac at 6.15 for breakfast, suppose to meet at lakeside at 7.25am. Makan with a bunch of people, including an unexpected guest. After makan, rush to lakeside wer Usha waiting liao, with her red sedan 'direct' us (on the bus) till we reach the CC. Started out moving some dry food, of course i didnt do, not slack, is coz got duty to take pics (actually is la :P)
Fun starts after moving, pioneers were playing around b4 the minister and the senior citizens came. Taking pics, funny poses, crapping... Then later, suddenly all very busy. Some of us (not me) had to escort the oldies back carrying their heavy stuff. I was busy taking pics, also manage to teach Pangpang n Tangwah smth abt photography so that can swap with them every now a then... Always taking very sian, have to do some physical labour too... Then hor, talking to the oldies also very fun, they are socialble and understanding.

When the event gonna end, more pic taking... then we get to take a grp photo with the minister of edu and finance! Mr Tharman... didnt realise he that TALL , he also very friendly! After he left, continue snapping... haha! Then got these little girl, the daugther of a volunteer, so kawaii la! Feel like pinching her cheeks, she sat quietly on the table with the milk bottle, then just let us pose with her...haha, so cooperative! Unlike some adults, see camera then siam away, hate them, make photographers job difficult!

After everything, all zhao back, actually plan to go library to study, then some psed. In the end left me, Ruien, Aizen and Pee... went to JE library which is so crowded, then went home lo. So freaking tired wen reach home, then bro still like kachau me go mop floor ... Abit irritated, coz i've got tons of hw/test preparation to rush and hes like ordering me to go do other stuff! Moreover, hes so damn free lo, can play games, then he do lo... damn pissed off by him la! At that moment I wanted to sms mum to ask if I could live somewer alone till my A levels finish. Somehow this house does not provide a study environment... Zengjie everyday watch Tv... means living room out, then at room so hot, i wan open door, bro will blast his music. Then once in a while, they start to nag... then quarrel for some retarded reasons. Wth la... then complain say i nv do housework, ya... nv do budden bro make the duty roster like super unfair la. Mum told him this year i freaking busy liao, he still arrange the duty till sibei BALANCED, like every1 in the household do the same amnt of work without considering whos the MOST free de lo.

Kuku... now still rushing hw... and preparing for test, hope that chem test not on mon n tues, coz its 'freaking no time sibei busy' days. Anyway, hope ming tian hui geng hao!

Its my class afterall

2008-01-26T23:42:00.000+08:00

Bunch of kids having fun!

Bring it on!

Yay! Another week past! Strange that i wished time passed fast, which means A levels can come soon... I m suffering dude! Its like over absorbing of knowledge for few more months.

The week is as usual, nothing special, but i think i realised something... 07S22 is a fun class, filled with people who are still at their mind state of a 10-year old but hiding it. This is something to note as I think its very very compatible to my character! I love being peter pan! Probly afraid of accepting what the future's gonna give. And also because, i have lots of regrets as a child and teenager; haven enjoyed enough during pri and sec sch time.

Anyway, on thursday and friday, some class people stayed back, pee, shir, aiwei, shuqing, jin, leesiah, drew and Pangpang. Very fun coz we're doin decos, so paiseh I didnt contribute much. Pee was the serious 1, like doin everything while the rest of us playing, he looks stressed too. Shir, Aiwei and Shuqing do all the art work, while playing of course! Had lots of fun doin the rubbish painting, reminising days as a kid. Pang pang and I were also talking abt lots of stuff, then also join the fun on thurs. On fri, its jin who stayed back to help, others got CCA, i left early for China trip meeting. Speaking of that... lol, our rehearsal always fail de, either no prepare or smth go wrong; then nex week trial present liao... DOOMED.

Have to sincerely thank the people who stayed back to do class deco! Esp Pee for all the misc stuffs and Shir for the painting. ZOMG la... she can freaking paint so well, ask me do, confirm gone liao. Award her with a pic on the blog, haha!

Today woke up late... shyt, wasted studying time, my plans all screwed. Only use the day to revise physics and very little chem. Plan to go cut hair but reach there need to wait so decided to cut next time. Evening got bball... some time wasted again but i said 'yes' wen rome asked me ytd coz dun wanna dissapoint him and the others, weds n fri alwaes got cca then psed them... felt bad.

Over the weekends, i presume gonna b damn busy, need to study for test then sunday the CIP will take up most of my studying time too. Well... CIP is also important, its another learning opportunity.

Kick off 2008

2008-01-19T01:04:00.000+08:00

Been quite a tiring week as usual, mondays and tuesdays totally suk, coz i'm fully packed for the whole day. Wednesday onwards then can feel abit slack. But i can roughly feel how my comin days in 2008's gonna be like. Staying back, lesson structure, pretty much gd and bad.

Mon and Tues were tutorials and more tutorials, till 4pm. All lessons were quite boring except for chem? Duno why, jus prefer it more than the others coz it is wen I actually learned something. GP suk, planning wad to do for each 90mins periods. Tues stayed back till very late coz Yingwen wants to meet up to discuss abt the presentation. Skipped piano too, coz lots of hw due the next day and i haven done any! Hope mum doesnt know about it coz I dun wanna argue with her; she wont understand my situation.

Wednesday start to relax abit liao... even though got no CCA, stayed back for MC exco meeting, a short 1 to update recent stuffs. Then duno why later stayed back till 6pm, with Ruien, Sijin and Mel. Mugging time till 6... actually kept talking and eating stuffs from the cafe. Thurs... slack day again, end at 1pm. Afternoon went to Queensway to check out class T. Really appreciate Shir and Sam for settling this project, MsNg for turning up to giv suggestions and also Shuqing and Ruiping for accompanying (not bad, giv me face!)

Friday, abit more comfortable coz nearing weekends. Went for studio shooting during the evening. Rather cool, coz nv done it b4 and heard its a hard chance that comes by. Fun part actaully is at the arcade, some of us went arcade at Safra to play, didnt know Parapara was so cool! Straight from ther, bro picked me up and we're off to Msia.

If the comin weeks are like this, I think i can still cope, hopes' nothing more than this. I tink i oso can manage my time better coz been really concern to plan my activities well according to priorities. Well, this is the feel of year2008, year of my A's, Have to tahan abit more!

P=F/A... Where P>10, F>3 and A=1

2008-01-11T20:17:00.000+08:00

This week, wich is like the 2nd since school start is... i dunno, probably tight and pressurising. Stress is the main thing. Monday and tuesday was quite ok, PE was fun, 2.4 got abit crappy compared to last year; badminton was fun, esp with the class!

Wednesday onwards was rather bad... 1st of all, felt very very sick, coz tuesday nite rushing the BJT07 video for presentation the next day... It was also the day that the Exco was announced... rather surprised that i got the CM post... I did mention in the dec holidaes that i wanna be CM coz got enthu'ed up after the China trip. Budden, closing to xmas n new year, began to realise that its quite impossible and i know i'll b very busy. Morever, i know best about my own studies, so obvious that my basic concept sux. Well, on wed, i dunt know wad forced me to accept this post. Somehow, i think this is an opportunity staged out for me, to experience, to experiment and contribute all the plans i had since J1. Guessed because of that, i accepted this heavy responsibility. We had a short meeting after the announcement... then dismissal and off to CCA.

For the next 2 days, i've been feeling quite uneasy... very very uncomfortable, its like some mental torture... Probably coz i've been thinking too much and kinda paranoid. The members of Exco were decided through interviews by MsNg. And of course, the course of the interviews are carried out individually, we all do not know wad posts each of us wants. The main source for the uneasiness comes from the feeling that some people seemed unhappy about the finalised Exco members. Naturally, being chosen as the CM, i felt it most. In defence, i've been very careful of wad i'm doing for the next two days, staying perfect and cool. stress generated from pressure all around... friends, classmates, teachers and cca.

MC needs me to plan for camp and I've onli drafted out the programme, a long report awaits. Next from classmates, somehow i feel the need to do something that exceeds their expectation! Even though its like 2 days, i feel damn stressed, whether i'm doin the correct thing, job scope cleared? Then also, MsNg and the other teachers who knew me, I cant possibly dissapoint them. Then due to this busy and stressed schedule, i've even reject Rome for basketball today, felt damn bad but no choice. It turns out so bad that i've considered many times to quit the posts. Comparing is unavoidable, myself and the other candidates for CM. Are they more suitable for this post? Are there any misunderstandings?

Its no use getting this stressed up, be optimistic! This is wad I always tell myself when anything goes wrong. The problem only lies with myself, why m I so concerned with how people look and think of me. I think my actions will prove and convince them! I know i'm not the outstanding and inspiring speaker type but I know I've many great plans for the class, to bond them and to make it more enjoyable. Then on thursday, after a talk with MsNg after class gathering/lunch felt better, i'm more confident to work on...

Time is required for me to do everything i can. I've chosen this route... cramping myself with lots of responsibilities. I'll do it. This may be the rehearsal for my future life; any1 will face it 1 day and I'm glad i've an opportunity. I always critisized dad about his easy job, signing papers, talk on phone and just supervise... I guess i'm really really wrong. It's like the toughest job on earth, human resource management. Management is like controlling every aspect, u cant focus on only one and if the team goes wrong, u're screwed, hamburgered from top and bottom. Humans have emotions, thats the challanging part, u cant afford to offend them yet u need to gain their respect for u as a leader. Morever, I'm afraid peeps think that i'll slack as CM, not helping out n stuffs, just talk n command... but i guess i'll not stay off my track, i'll still do wad i must do, to supervise, plan and make sure things happening for various posts are running smothly.

Another life lesson for and I think its a important 1 to remember and reflect on. Let's hope 'A' increases so that I wont stand alone, and F decreases; i'll feel relaxed and enjoy my job!

Happy new Year!!! Welcoming Year 2008

2008-01-01T21:22:00.000+08:00

New years' not really the occasion for me, i prefer Chinese new year and Christmas bcoz its wen family gathering takes place. Like to meet up with my couzes, they alwaes have something to talk about, then presence of Ten and Pu always brightens up 19Zi (probably the next 1's name 'La', then the 3 of em Tem-pu-ra!) Festive's also fun coz got many many food, budden, recently after the case in Indo, i tink i've to control my own meals, not too much food, eat slowly, less oil and NO chili. Geez... thats too restricting, but i guess for my dear stomach, better follow these rules.

Since its 2008, probly wanna set some goals and reminders... 08 of them since its year 08

1. A levels, nothing is more important than the A's, the examinations is like the ultimate test for students taking jc, in sg, who wanna go local U... main event, cant screw it. Here's the thing for discipline, i WILL organize my time real well, surrender DS to bro or dad, less afternoon naps and jus the usual rules for goin to bed. For academics, try to listen in lecture (said tis for a year, its tough), study at my own pace ( some hw can ignore if too busy), try to pass every test but no need to ace. Afterall, i tink A's is the most important, i'll jus try to pass all the CA's n class tests, no pt getting those well.

2. Help dad... dad's been really stressed up with work, worried abt his health. I hope i can do smth to help, he knows i'm a slacker n stuffs but i hope my A's results can become a joyful new year gift in 2009. I dun speak emolish but... dad, i promise to b good in sch, do well in studies n do u proud, Will always remember the word u gave me over the fone on 1st Jan 2008, "confidence" is wad i need.

3. Goin on trips is fun with food but of course at the cost of...gaining weight, damn, i'm now back to like 70, bad bad... I need to like rip off 3 to be stable, haven gain any height since last year too, bad bad... gotta do something, take care of stamina n strengh 1st bah. Plan: gym n joggin every evening if free.

4. $$$, spending like flowing water over the holidays, out with frens, chalet, shopping, have to save up for next holidae, plan to Hainan during summer and mayb trip with frens at year's end, cruise? Hope i can do smth abt the way i spend, control man! Next time i wanna buy something more than $5, i'll just account it somewer.

5. School, school, school, Uni? Eh, dun know dun realise (bu zhi bu jue) already j2 liao. Damn! Last year as a sch student! Sometime in 2010, gonna miss the many nerds who's wearing the same argly uniform as me, i'll b calling the teachers by their names even inside the sch, miss the teachers who nag n scold n get all cranky in the morning coz they forgot to shower. I will definately enjoy this last year in sch... with a class, with teachers you have to call teachers and with frens in PJC!

6. Almost forgot, something thats always taking up alot of my time... piano. tuition... need travel time, practice... ok, i dunt practice much, only on the day for class. So, gotta run my fingers more on the keyboard, romes' not up in a day? mus rmb something liddat, gotta practice and practice, somemore june got performance, shyt... duno y Doreen go sign me up, my repertoire onli got like few songs and they are all crappy... Therefore i know officially announced my new form of entertainment/leisure activity/game/pastime/hobby is piano! Its kinda fun if the song sound nice, but if like starting to learn new songs, then still adapting, sux...

7. Even though i m not sure if i get to live till next year, i tink... i must do some planning for the future. Every1's been asking abt wad course i wanna take in U... damn, so hard to decide, i'm not like bro, he's a mechanic freak n comp pro... I tink i wanna b a zoo keeper or ecologists, love animals so much! Anyway, need to decide on it, be at least 80% to decision. i'll leave the 2 years of NS for final decision.

8. Lastly, poor blogs rather gloomy, i know u've been working hard recording my logs, checking all my crap spellings... i promise to fill in more pics and like do some deco, very difficult coz been rather busy for the holidays and... the photos taken, needs to be shrunk, size too big.

That's all for the goals... Tml's a new term and day in sch, and the last year too... No harm working hard, all the way till i stressed out or anyting... Last means last, hard to get more chances... A Levels, bring it on!

Indonesia revisit 07!

2007-12-31T22:56:00.003+08:00

Being born in Indo and havin spent a part of childhood ther, I've full of memories there, from the place, to the people, activities and of course food! This time went back with bro to meet dad n mum at Jakarta, finally a time where 4 of us together again at Jakarta, used to b only either me or bro there. Arrived there on the 20th, which is oso the 2nd day of class chalet, missed many fun, the bbq... The plane ride kinda sux i tink, travel with bro n aunt Olive, not very occupied, me n bro took up 1 whole row of seats (still got 1 lady in my row, he moved to the empty 1)

Its of course freaking hot on there, they dun hav many trees and there are LOTS of vehicles, duno wth the gov there doin. As soon as we touched down, mum came to fetch with chauffer Om Didi, then went to met with uncle Tat where he bring us to eat Pempek n Otah wich is heavenly!!! 1st day ended quite fast with dinner at Mall Artha Gading, having Tempayaki at Hanamasa, mum n dad had shabushabu coz they vegi-eater. The 3 of us chiong meat which is very very nice, dip into the sauce then cook on the steel pan... Mmm, Oishii!! By the time finish eating quite late liao, cannot shop, we just strolled around the huge mall and its really HUGE, almost 5 times bigger than westmall, they've this themepark for kids inside the mall. Anyway go slp early to prepare for tml morning, need to wake up early to set off to Bandung with uncle n couz over at Indo.

Oisii~~~ Jap food rox!

WARNING! This photo of Mal Artha Gading is stitched!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really hate car rides, its damn boring during the ride and its freaking stuffy and hot even though i got the back seat with aunt Olive and with many food and luggages (its a MPV) Lucky, got many companions like mp3, DS and of course every1 on the car, talking. This trip got me, bro, mum, aunt Olive, uncle tat, couz Novi and her husband Awang. Its always fun to travel with uncle tat n his family, coz they nv stop to joke and he knows lots of places with seriously EXCELLENT food! Like wad mum said, if only aunt Jenny and couz wii was here, seriously damn fun man! Our 1st destination was to this Queen's port... there's an urban legend behind this, heard is smth about the queen who loved the color green, then she was like a sea god or smth, then hor, they say dunt go near sea if ur wearing green or u will just vanish... damn, i'm wearing a dark green T at that time la, felt abit freaked out while we were having lunch by the beach restaurant. Btw, the meal was superb, seafood, the everything on the dish except the veggies are nnnnnnice! Also drank Es Kelapa, coconut! Missed it so much, Singapore can hardly find it and its so Ex.

Later on, went to the hotel wich is oso near the beach. The hotel is really really the Classic 1! Exactly how it looks 40 years ago, it may look really old n like a historical site now but i bet 40 years ago, its really the 5-star hotel. The lift has no Open or Close door buttons, strange? At least in place got Up and Down buttons! They got this notice by the side to teach peeps to learn how to operate it. Btw the room was not that bad, looks decent and the view is facing the sea. The bed, kinda bad, the bed sheet so pathetic, looks dirty, dunt tink they washed it, its like dust-full carpet. At night went out to just get some snacks and food like Martabak then later back to hotel's cafe to have a light dinner. While eating, just chat around then also discuss wer to go tml. Back to hotel n I was preparing to bathe... Omg la, the shower still ok, but the lower tap to run the water for the tub de... its brown wen the 1st 2secs of water flowed! Heck, i just bathe in that not so clear water, cant expect much.

Day 2, went to beach to play, not exactly play coz like its not with many peeps of my generation. Just hand around the hotel area a while then later head towards this south-guanyin temple. The place is located at a super Ulu place, wer the road there sux, undulated landscape, within the mountains. Went to pray ther, the place like some kinda sanctuary, facing the sea, then got all the nice nice structures. Also head to a geyser sorta river area to see see. Alot of locals ther, every1's havin holidae! Damn funny, got some teens there help us wash car but uncle dun wanna pay them, the reason is: oso nv ask u to wash. Was kinda worried then if they'd b angry then attack us. At nite, went to a relativ's house to stay somewer far again which required another long long car ride.

Fun at Geyser, wadeva hotbath place

Day 3, the damned day, my stomach freaking pain, almost cant breathe, duno stomach ulcer or cramp, its jus super uncomfortable. I was lying on the bed for the whole morning actually, mom stayed behind to look after me n didnt go out with the others. Well, lucky she stayed behind coz i almost blacked out. Had runs for the whole morning, then at once wen i felt like goin to the toilet, suddenly felt unconcious then later just vomit like siao, 4 to 6 times, like got something forced to the head. Almost collapse at that time and felt super weak, mom had to hold me by the arms to support me. Heng, after the vomit, felt better, just some pain occasionally then also feeling sore all over. Still duno wads the cause, cant be food poisoning coz i vomit water out... no trace of food i've eaten. In the evening,had porridge which is the only ting i ate since the nite b4. Feeling better though... still can travel back to Jakarta, back home...

During car rides, we talked about lots of stuff, very interesting is about... spirits n ghosts coz couz Novi's husband Awang got so called yingyang yan, can see and feel em de. After we left the hotel at the 1st day, he told us his room got, but he nv sae, tat explains y he bought beer that nite, to get himself drunk n sleep better without noticing the pressence. Then later at the relativ's house, he also like quite picky abt wer to sleep, far from the front door, then pulls a pillow over his face to sleep. Creepy man, Also heard from him an incident wer he was driving with his family one nite at a highway then suddenly he braked, every1 (sleeping) jus suddenly woke up then ask him wth happend, he just said some1 was crossing, of course every1 else denied seeing. Then seconds later after they lef that spot, a car coming by just skied and turned... Omg, I tink he damn unlucky to have such... abilities and cant help but feel the pressence.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd part of the trip was to Lampung in the island of Sumatra. After a day of rest since the Bandung trip, we're off again on a stupid long car ride on xmas day. Nothing much to sae since mentioned it on the previous log.

The 2nd day, went to the beach, 2 cars, 15 people and a dog. Lol, very funny, coz go out to play then also bring Jacky along. 'It' still needs to wear shoes n clothes, damn cute. Anyway, at the beach, got kayak, then of course boats, i dun tink its a beach actually, more like seaside or lagoon, coz can hardly feel the waves. Went for a boat ride which was a scam coz it costs like almost Rp450,000 for the ride out to sea, budden the boat sux, then no life vest, while coming back to the shore, the boat broke down! WTH! Pulled by the other boat back which was damn slow... Cool ting is the marine life, ther, can see corals then also got millions of these jellyfish eggs, which is like a cherry then surrounding it is a thick coating of jelly.

I love my family~~~!

Jellyfish egg!

Nasi Padang for lunch then went to a adventure camp park, smth like those obs camp, got all the rope challanges n stations. Played for the whole afternoon then went for dinner at a local restaurant. It was a fun day coz got all the couzes from my mom's side, got abit of communication barrier but still gd coz i still rmb how to speak lil bit of Bahasa. At the end of the dae, every1 was dead beat, esp Jacky, it just lied down below the bench then slept. Adding to being tired, every1 was kinda sad coz aunt Olive lost her phone... very strange case coz the maid dun wanna admit that she stole it (mayb). In the morning, charge the phone at the 2nd floor, near the kitchen, then we went out, aunt forgot to discharge n bring it along. When we came back, phone lost... the charger... coiled nicely and placed at the 3rd floor desk!!! That's so very very strange, y would a thief care to do that? Its obvious is the maid coz she's the only 1 at home the whole day while we were out. We combed the house, the maids' room but nth found, well of course a smart thief wld hand it to an outsider n not hide it in the crime scene. Bad situation, then every1 just went to bed and tried to forget it. Aunt Olive lost her contacts, notes n many imp stuff on the fone.

Last day, goin back to Jakarta, long long car rides again, hate that. On the journey, on the ferry ride, the sea was quite rough, goin left n right, I was indoors n dun feel much. Got a kid sea sick then vomit then heard from Om Didi, it was almost flooded outdoors, waves came crashing, then even his cup of coffee spilled, some even... prayed for safety. Well... arrived safely, we also gave a stranger a ride, a lady, coz shes alone then she stayed like quite far, so she hitched till this urban area to wait for some public transport. Well, i guess its gd to help... like mum said, we may sometimes need tis kinda help too. Back to home at Jakarta near 10pm liao, got some fried beef Kuayteow and Baso, which is again, 1 of the nicer food in Indo!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Left like 3 days in Indo... Shopping! Friday went to dad's office to see see and meet some people. Many of the staff still recognize bro but not me! I really changed alot meh? Anyway, that evening went for a short shopping session at Mal Kelapa Gading, my all time fav hangout place. Most tings quite cheap, saw this hat that i really want! We went to the pizza hut ther for dinner... Omg, its like 1/3 the price compared to SG! Later on, we went to walk around again, then very very coincidently, met Tony, his mum n his niece! Woah, i was tinking of visiting him that nite, then there he is! Talk for a while then went home le.

Saturday was more dedicated to shopping, the whole afternoon at Mal Artha Gading. 1st at the Sports warehouse, bought lots of clothes, damn cheap cheap, around Rp50k each piece. Then later oso went to supermarket to buy many food and titbits back. Then also hunt n scout around for many xmas gifts for frens. At nite, went to eat with dad's fren, coz he wanna treat me n me bro while we come to Indo, the restaurant quite classy, Ming, chinese cuisine then got nice food, expensiv of course. Damn, actually, plan to eat at Sizzler de, budden eat this chinese food wich can b found in SG also, wasted. Sizzler in Indo is relatively cheap!

Last day liao, not that sad to leave, haha, coz can alwaes come back. Its my home afterall! Went to the airport like noon, with more luggages and boxes of food... Back to SG! Oh, 2 days left to sch, my homework, not done, haha, i'll chiong everything bah! Still... Holiday is fun!

Merry Christmas 07 from Indonesia!

Bloggin overseas, somewer abit far from home, Indonesia, Sumatra island, Lampung, somewer south, near the town... in my uncle's house. We kinda have a family gathering for xmas with relatives from mum's side. Since internets' avail here, thought that i'd blog to keep record but only for this day and the events for today.

Wake up quite early by aunt Olive, she kinda threatened somehow and by someway. Today's another long trip to somewer like acrosss to another island. Actually intend to depart at 7.30am budden in the end drag till like 10.30 or so then leave. Very not punctual, left at the same time with dad, hes off to work even during xmas... feel so sorry. Few hours drive till the port, harbour or wadeva then travel on ferry, with the car inside the vessel. The ride was around 2 hrs, we went to the air-conditioned cabin to rest. Well, gained abit coz I use tis time to do maths :P, cant believe it, after so long, finnaly touched hw. Even though only 1 paper, at least SOMEthing, 2hrs doesnt seem so long with stupid maths ppr, wich is also so around 2hrs per ppr.

Then is another crappy car ride from the 'wer the ship docks' to the town, no choice but to chiong DS till the batt drained. After like an hour plus of drive on the shytty road which is all rocky and full of undulations, finally arrived. Expected, once reached, got dog bark from aunt susi's dog, Jacky, then the other 1, Kelly, will sniff my foot. Had so called dinner, like, just a crackpot party or smth, local delights. Then later gather around on the floor to chat and talk, very very enjoyable and fun! Talk abt from the most unsual creepy things to discussions about dogs and animals. Jacky was damn funny, he get jealous damn easily, if couz agnes hugs aunt or if Kelly gets hugged by aunt, he'd just bark all the way then snarl. Then heard of many story and behaviours abt this 'almost human like' Jacky, only difference in sound and looks

Well, gonna sleep now, Merry Xmas 07 to my blog!

Day10 of BJT07

2007-12-19T01:22:00.000+08:00

Day 10, 27/11/07, Tuesday

Last day in Beijing, can’t bear to say goodbye. Anyway, we went to the planning exhibition hall where there were showcase of information and more information on city planning and the infrastructure of Beijing. There were lots of things to see and I kind of hate the fact that we were only given a short time to visit the place. I do have to agree with the teachers that we SHOULD visit this place first when we touched down in Beijing. Inside was... exhibitions then got this theatre which says 3d movie wen u put on the 3d spec, wth, tio scammed, not very 3d lo, its like jus a video on the screen, the specs oso kns, screw came out 1... I like the toilet though, so far the cleanest compare to any other places of attraction.

Moving on was Silk street, another shopping mall for tourist; not interested at all, the things are slightly more expensive. We walked up n down a few times and I bought a set of gym gloves. Lunch was at mac, treat by the tourguides. Very nice of em! ThankQ! The mac sprite sux though, Nicholas asked me to try, omg, its like got some artificial ginger flavouring la, or mayb expire liao, then they mix the sprite with some crap herds to cover the chaosua smell. Lucky nv stomachache la, the burger n fries standard, like those in MACs everywer.

Soon, it was parting with Beijing after noon. Many of us were sad and get freakin emo'ed while saying goodbye to the tour guides, Zhudan and Apple. I think they do feel gloomy sayin goodbye to us yet also happy to have enjoyed this memorable time. Zhudan cried i tink, then Apple like not willing to alight the bus. Anyway, we can just email or smth mah, stil stay in contact.

As for me, not that emo, it’s just another farewell, just like back in the high school, the world is too big and in the future we’ll know of more people that we can get along with, then another farewell. China is a rising power today, there’s no doubt that it will surprise the world at any moment. Hence, I think revisiting this place in the future is not impossible. Packed with an extra checked in luggage and loads of local food and souvenirs, it’s back to warm and humid Singapore! Oh, duno y my luggage got add extra weight, tink mostly coz of food, from 14kg (SG-BJ) then 21KG (BJ-SG).

Since its the last day de post, i wanna finish up with the Shanghai versus Beijing ting... Digging out some thoughts while i still rmb. Very sadly, Shanghai still score alot.
-In terms of toilet, most places in Shanghai, the toilet more clean, Beijing 1 like almost kns everywer u go.
-The police, Shanghai 1 oso like more friendly.
-My own adaptibility to the place, Beijing better bah, coz in Shanghai most peeps speak their own Shanghai hua, which I cant understand, Beijing, no own language, only accent bah.
-Then for traffic condition, shanghai pawns, coz ther not alot of traffic jam, hav oso not as bad as in Beijing, then hor, the Cars in Beijing all very qianbian, as though they bang us is confirm our fault. I nv see most cars in Shanghai with tis prob.
-For goods, erh, prob Beijing bah, they lots of cheapshyt, in Shanghai the flea market oso not cheap.
-Then like amt of patches of saliva found in both city almost the same, duno wads wrong with these faggots, like to spit so much, hope few of them accidently spit on each other then start conflict, initiating some anti-spitting campaign.
-For places of attraction, Beijing kinda win la, coz i tink history more long mah, then love all the historical sites.
-Comparing no. of irritating china people, Beijing win la, got so many arsholes talk so loudy, very rude, push u around in the crowd, even in the high school, i got freakin pushed by 1 lower sec bugger from behind, nv even sae excuse me or sorry, ARGHGGRRGGR! So Shanghai gdgd.
-Since follow tour, wil go alot of restaurants, in terms of the waitresses n waiters, Shanghai 1 more polite n nice, but Beijing 1 got more pretty 1s, me n kahkian like go everywer oso go compare. Guess its a draw.
-For safety, i tink both ok, but i prefer Shanghai, coz somehow, by some way, the peeps wont like tink u r weird by speaking english ther and they wont stare lo. Beijing, unless u fake some kuku accent, they will tink u weird.
-Oh, airport, Shanghai 1 nicer la duh... Beijing 1 like some kind of Bus terminal liddat, the outside look so argly, onli inside better after the immigration. Shanghai 1, the outside very nice, high ceiling, very bright, inside oso nice, except its alwes crowded.
-Urban-scenery Shanghai oso nicer, Beijing like out of nowhere suddenly some high rise building, then later a few metres, 1 slump, then later 1 shopping mall. Very messy, city planning quite lousy. Shanghai the CBD very nice, along the huang pu river, they sae is 1 Bakua sign in the city center wer the east pearl oriental tower stands.
.
.
.
.
.
Final score: [Beijing 2, Shanghai 9]
So, i've decided to visit Shanghai again, mayb Bejing to see if got any improvements while preparing for the 08 Olympics.

Day 9 of BJT07

2007-12-18T23:01:00.000+08:00

Day 9, 26/11/07, Monday

I’m starting to love Beijing, all the things and places are just too wonderful! We went to Temple Of Heaven, a.k.a. Tian tan, a really huge garden with lotsa trees and… old peeps! ya, which park dun see old peeps at all, well its kinda different here, coz like its like the whole park made for them la, 90% of the humans in there are oldies excluding the staff n cleaners inside. Coz hor, old people can pay like a yearly fee to get unlimited access to the park then for us young folks, pay per entry. There were all sorts of activities for the elders, the space seem very big for any physical activity to be conducted, i think can even have few baseball games going on at the same time inside. The things inside, trees and pavilions, kinda like man made forest, probably can hunt animals inside, then if play treasure hunt, mayb will find till become like those oldies. There were group taiji sessions (can feel the qi when passing them), chinese dance grps, groups playing games like ‘jian zhi’ and the ‘taiji tennis’.

The coolest thing is the choir formed by the senior citizens. It is an optional and self initiated activity; the whole choir was very enthusiastic and they sang awfully very well,lol, coz its like propaganda song budden consider if i dun understand the lyrics, its perfect. There was a huge crowd gathered around the choir and some have song sheets with them. They do impress me with the harmonious voices, then they also position themselves according to STAB, quite nice. Never can one see this spirit in other countries, especially from old people! Those in SG and Msia, sian sian de, in kopi shop, slack, gossip and stare at us young peeps -.-.

The places of attraction in Beijing really amazed me one after another, underground city was nex. At first I was thinking that it was just another town just that its built underground. What surprised me was that the entrance to this city was so insignificant that it’s located in a residential area, through a door between shop houses, wth la, its like suddenly i discover under my bed got this trap door lead to the core of the earth. Then, another shocking matter was that the place is actually a bomb shelter, narrow and damp deep down the ground, not the town I imagined. The bomb shelter was built like a network of tunnels covering a large area. It was another impressive structure and it just add to the few reasons that I think Mao was a smart n cheeky person. However, the stupid thing was that later on, we arrived at a small hall where they are actually selling silk blankets! That kind of beat the purpose of the visit to the underground city because I was expecting things like souvenirs sold. Then the 1st thing is like, cheh... wanna sell things thats y make this place an attraction, The stupid link is that these silk blanket, the material used as bullet proof vest in the past, wth... china people smart in making random links, wanna sell then sae la, no need hide underground and set this fake mood. I was thinking mayb is fake lo, if the bullet proof vest so geng then wont so many people die liao, they can just mass produce it like they did for everything else then just owne any country.

The next destination was the military museum which was nothing much, to be honest I think the Chinese just want to show off its might and standard of its military sector to other countries, indirectly, the tourist, us la. However, the exhibition on the civil war more interesting than the weaponry displays, weapons all look the same to me la, mayb diff is how strong the firepower, whether can kill some1 with 2 inch fats or 5 inch fats. Of course, inside every corner can feel the propgd aura, cannot avoid de, I think toilet oso hav some pics.

After lunch was a revisit to Xidan, to shop of course. All I do there was eat again and stroll around the area to the other side of Xidan, which is like a classier place. Me n Kahkian went to revisit the roadside stalls, get to taste the Oishii food again, yan shu chicken, milk tea, etc. I think this is call traveling lo, eat everywer u go, damn shiok, duno y those losers only wanna shop, oso not filling, then later tio scammed of fake shyt then complain n cry, or else if chi kui for like 20 cents than angry. So is better to buy food, serve the stomach n taste buds!

There was Kung Fu performance at night, nothing impressive, I think maybe because the acrobatics were much better and Kung Fu is nothing new to me. They perform by some crap story la, some jackass called Kong or smth, then he become monk, then fell in love, so mundane. I think if i would write the story i would write like the Kong should just go terrorize with Kun Fu in new york city then gain some fame, then later just get bounted for few million, after that go into some mortal kombat tournament n get owned.

Last nite le, every1 busy packing, i tink my luggage was okok la, got some space left, most weight contributed by food. This nite, we plan not to have some happy hour at nite de. 1st we me n Zhilun just went to Jes n khaiting de room go finish all the food so no need to bring back, like cup noodles. Jus watched Tv and crap lo. Later went to the 4th floor to join all the non-arts class peeps, with apple and Zhudan. Then again, shift to Ahboi they all de room to play cards, talk kok and stuffs. I wanna see ahboi de way she tio kiap by the bed la budden she not willing to demo, dissapointed. In the end, reaching 4am le, most people half KO'ed. me n Zhixiang jus left Zhilun to sleep in the girls' room :P coz he sleeping quite soundly. Then we oso went back for some slp, prepare to go back to SG the next day!!! ( and sae byebye to the flousy and fugly hotel)

Day 8 of BJT07

2007-12-17T23:32:00.000+08:00

Day 8, 25/11/07, Sunday

It’s exactly a week since we arrive in China, I’m definitely adapting to the food, culture and language even though there are still many things to learn. The local accent was cool, with all the 'fu wu yuaners' from kahkian... and all sorts of funny phrases! For starchy food, I just leave them alone if i dun wanna eat, start to be picky actually abt meals. At least we dont't learn how to spit anyhow, thats god damn disgusting and unhygenic.

It was Tian An Men Square in the morning then a long walk all the way to Jing Shan park till noon. The Tian An men square was like a place full of taboo. Cannot shout loud loud, cannot gather as a group. It’s where Mao did all his rally talks and also where all the important Chinese events took place. There were police officers and ‘Gong An’ patrolling and keeping their sight at every corner of the square. It feels like a prisoner inside just that you can come and leave at will. The gong an there oso quite funny, they cannot anyhow talk or take pics with visitors, then Shin Yun and Joyce was damn funny, go die die follow 1 officer, say wanna take photo together, make that guy freakin paiseh, blushed n stuffs. We also took a pic of grp photo, holding a banner! Well, actually it sounds normal but in tiananmen sq, its kinda forbidden, coz of past incidents like the gathering of some fa lun gong practitioners.

The Forbidden City was a better place and it is definitely a spectacular place. I do have to admit that the Chinese are once a powerful nation, even stronger than the Romans and Britons. Just imagine, a palace for a country’s emperor, built like and as huge as a city. Nth to say man... We didn’t get to walk even a tenth of the palace but only visit the main and important structures and gates. The sight of those structures is rather unbelievable as I always thought that they were just made-up settings for video shooting seen in television. Being able to visit the Forbidden City is liek a chance to time travel to ancient China. The view from the gate ‘wu men’ was the most magnificent as it shows the high and tough walls.

After a morning of wows and marvels, we had lunch in Hutong, another historical site, more like zone. It was also shocking to hear about the land value there, a very very run down rural area, worth almost as much as those in the city area. I think the government wants to preserve this place to show the life and environment the old times Chinese lived in. We went there to have jiao zhi as lunch, then also a chance to make the jiao zhi ourselves... erm, kinda stupid la, coz i can help mum make em everytime dad came back from Shanghai with the 'skin'. About that place, kinds dirty, i was walking past this i suppose to b a public toilet, ZOMG, its freakin disgusting and like full of brown material n green moss at the sai hole there... heard from the other grp it was pretty much worst, somemore in a house, like a dug out drain.

Afternoon was another round of shopping, this time, it was to places meant for tourist; rather surprised that the vendors are multilingual! I simply can’t believe how cheap things are there. Budden it was like a Warfield; they are more desperate to sell their stuff to us than we wanting to buy them. Competition was intensive too, when I was abt to walk off from one store, the other store opposite was gearing up to pull me over to his store. Funny incident is about kahkian buying shoe, he was lying abt his parents owning shoe factory... nice shot at that dramatic lie and i tink the shop keeper kinda believe him. Anyway, he went also to help Jes and Khaiting they all bargain. I bought this orange nike bag, wich i tink very bohua, freakin tio ripped off even after the bargain... initially was RMB300, then talk talk till RMB100, budden i still tink its pretty expensiv. So abit pisssed off. However, the bag was kinda nice, gd for putting sport wares. By any way, i'm still more happy to get something!

Zzz, its like 2nd last nite liao, so all start to pack n stuffs, then hor, tonight went out again, now with more people. Besides ahboi trio, then got zhixiang, shenghong, kahkian, shin yun, jamie. We went left instead of right this time, at the road junction. Walk quite far till we see the red sign board with KFC... of course got there supper la! After that walked back then pass these railway station, underground. Went to explore, knowing that we will b late, but still go see see. Got this station master very friendly help us take pics then also talk kok with us. Around 10+, near 11pm, we know we late and Mrs Wee will get us freakin murdered, indeed, wen we knocked her door, she abit annoyed, kept asking y we so late. So we have to abit drama, say we make some discovery at railway then blablabla, so she will forgiv us.

Day 7 of BJT07

2007-12-16T23:54:00.000+08:00

Day 7, 24/11/07, Saturday

The Great Wall of China, a wonder and pride of the Chinese people; many people talked about this magnificent structure and how 1 can feel its ‘ba qi’, well, I feel so lucky to be able to visit this megastructure in person! It's the coldest,lowest temp we experienced since we arrived in China; I guess coz of the location, mountains and valleys. The bad thing abt a famous tourist location is the crowd density. Got an astronomical no. of people already walking up the wall when we arrived. It’s very difficult to walk among the crowd and the steep steps and slopes makes it worst. Then cannot stop anyhow as the people behind are still walking up and u will be against the flow. However, it’s a maybe once in a life time experience; the view from any part of the wall tells different story, that is, how it is used to defend China against the Mongolians and how peasants in the past sacrificed ( erm...mayb forced to..) themselves to build this structure. Took alot of pics there even though can hardly stop to. at the so called quite high spot on the greatwall got this stall they selling certs with ur name n pic on it. Lol, i tink itsa total scam, can just print that myself la... and jus take some pics, put name in all language somemore then haolian to every1...

The awe doesn’t end with just one historical site, after lunch, we went to see the Ming tombs. Strangely, as I walked around the tomb, the outside and inside, it does not give the eerie feeling like any grave, it’s more like a peaceful and soothing feeling. The area is full of trees, within a valley and even though it’s like afternoon, the surrounding is rather dim. Maybe the place is ‘spiritual’ and supposed to be built in a rural area. It’s a tomb after all, not a graveyard or cemetery, the word to describe is GRAND; I can’t imagine there are more of these kinds of tombs even though we only visited one of the 13 tombs around the area. Oh, then there are lots of these taboos and like 'not to do stuff' while we were inside... No photographs, no shouting, no talk rubbish, no leaving any matter inside the tomb. Quite obvious la, its kinda spiritual place and no harm being abit superstitious, its also to show some kinda respect to the dead. 1 particular thing is the entering of the 'spirit gate', must say 'im comin' wen entering, then also must shout, ya, SHOUT... ' I M Back', then must like 1 leg walk across the door, ledge? guys left leg n girls right... Oh, then b4 that must wipe off dust from ur clothes then also stam the feet a few times.

After spending the whole morning on history lessons, we were off to dinner then another shopping district Wang Fu Jing. This place is more classy, no more ‘bargain shops’, it’s like orchard road in Singapore and the only difference is that it’s an only-pedestrians area. Went to bookstore to look around, then Shenghong and Kahkian they all got lots of books, probly for the sch... coz the teachers sae we can pick for sch. Then also went to eat some rubbish... lol, i ate starfish, its super tough then the wadeva sauce they put on it is god damn salty... That nite felt quite sick but nth serious happened la. Then they also sell seahorse, some bugs n also chou dou fu which is oso nice. Wang fu jing oso got quite some pretty girls la, even at the bookstore la... but i tink for that, Shanghai still got alot... so now score is [Shanghai 2, Beijing 0]. Lol, i tink i abit biased, i should find some crap factors to compare so that Beijing gets some pts.

Metro SIF PJC project

2007-12-16T22:40:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... been writing all about the Beijing trip, i tink i wanna write also on recent stuffs. There's this Metro for children charity thing and pioneers who sign up suppose to go out to all metro outlets at diff time and date to ask people for donation. Of course i got sign up coz i wanna go Cambodia! Hmm, and i tink CIP is quite meaningful la, all sorts of way, even if the CIP hours kns. S22 was incharge of making sculptured balloons to b given out at the metro booth, and i tink also another class os balloon.

Kinda nervous b4 going for the event coz scared cannot make the balloon or it will like burst while i m makin. Went to internet to research on the various shapes then also ask those class peeps who had done it... Well, quite prepared during the 1st day, know an idea wad to make: dog, bird, bee, swords, bear, flower, bunny hat, heart, swan and pHd hat.

1st day, 15/12/07, Saturday

The location is at Causeway points' Metro. Me n Alvin arrived quite early as planned coz we wanna like warm up the also recap while the previous shift is there. That time still not alot of people, so we were quite relieved. Later after we took over, duno for some reason people start to flood in. I was at the 2nd storey, inside Metro store, near the escalator. Me and Alvin seperate coz balloon making person only got 2 and there are... 2 stalls. Most stupid ting is, i was tending the stall myself, baokaliao... from talking to making balloons and to doin all the voucher giving. The 2nd shift person who is suppose to come and do the tlaking job was late and heard he caught in the rain... KNN, !@$%^&*()_+, i've to do like everything and damn busy lo. Later he freaking late like 5pm+ then come, Alvin was sibei pissed off that he late liao still attitude him, so he came down to my stall and help me. That faggot's partner was a girl who actually came only abit late but did help Alvin at the 3rd storey. The faggot himself was an arshole, late liao still so slack, then wen Alvin damn pissed off n walked away, he didnt even come down to apologize and got the girl to do so. Then i guess they feel abit guilty so came down say wanna look after our stall and ask us to go eat dinner. Of course we went la, heck them lo, they oso nv do anyting de. Went to eat KFC then came bck at around 7pm to continue... Lucky ate quite full coz super busy after dinner, both of us were at the 3rd storey stall, right at the Metro front entrance. People keep walking pass then see wad we were selling... So we kept repeating tings like, " Would u like to donate for charity, any amount will do, we are raising funds for a project to help to poor in Cambodia, u can get this bear or a balloon as a gift" or else its " Hi, you mei you xing qu juan qian, duo shao qian dou ke yi, wo zhai chou kuan, ning ke yi na dao yi ge xiao xiong huo zhe ge qi qiu"... I tink its damn catchy to me liao. Then b4 dinner i've to say more about the gift voucher and also the pursuasion part... so i tink i wan 1.5 CIP hours leh! Anyway, we did the balloons quite fast, taking orders of wad shape n colors, like working in restaurant. At the end of the day, gave out until almost 9pm liao, supposedly 8pm leave. While leaving still got few kids gather so we just gave out those balloons we made for display. Damn tired... seriously, hands and fingers all swollen and painful, my throat oso very dry, muscle ache and many crap.

2nd day, 16/12/07, Sunday

Well, me n Alvin quite confident and more excited now. Coz we reflected on the 1st day and we tink is super fun even though tiring. We arrived abit later than b4 coz no more warm up needed, its more than enuff! Mark and Ivan was in the previous shift so Alvin came early to teach them how to make the balloons. Then later evening shift got 4 girls, all doin the talking job. so its 2 of them at each stall and now i swap with Alvin, i go top n Alvin bottom. I knew its a bad idea actually coz 3rd storey confirm more crowded de, at entrance mah. Very busy even though got help from the 2 girls, they like take orders and i've to make. But... talking alwaes very easy compared to the making... i've to make like super fast to meet the orders. But hor, i love the job, its so fun, making balloons then giving out to those little kids. They are very very very cute, got few catagories: 1 is those stare at the balloon in my hand, like they die die want it. Then some very shy coz dun dare to look at me to ask for shape or color yet run towards me. Then also those drag parents all the way from the stores beside to ask from me. Also got those ask me de, very bravely and some shy shy. Got 1 guy most cool de, he came beside me, nudging n pulled my shirt askin me for 1 balloon. Lol, very very kawaii de la, also wen they got the balloon n while leaving, they'd say thankyou korkor or uncle... -.- i very old meh? Anyway, i still like it wen they smiled n took the balloon they wanted, the expressions like very grateful and happy. Its worth it man! Totally! I dun mind the sore and swollen finger since the kids love it. Their parents also quite appreciate our work. Then also got sell the teddy bear, which is like also any amount. I tink quite not worth to sell, since the bear actually coz $10, then to $2, then now to any amount. The balloon is confirm any amount. Then of course all parents and adults wan the bear but kids wan the balloons. The parents oso tell the kids like, balloon will burst, not worth it while bear better can hand on bag... Ya true la, who wants that lousy balloon except for kids. This oso made me thought of y 21st century kids still like balloons, they should like action figures or like gameboy more... Coz even like pri sch kids wants them and some like sec 1/2 de. Anyway, i love this job, no pay but got allowence of $7. Like wad Alvin said, we most kuiben 1, have to work for jus some imaginary no. of hours, then suffer. Anyway i tink its fine for me la, then hor cool thing is got some1 ask me if wanna work for some events like party or performance. Lol, i gave my hp no. lo, coz got job of course wan la. He test me abit also, like ask me make cheem stuff, 1st penguin then crown, i sae i duno lo... but he quite impressed by the bird i made. Seems like i can b a clown liao. Things are more interesting at 2nd storey, experienced by Alvin, he told me about stuff like got detective working on case, following a girl who stole some $95 bra...

Its only a 2 day CIP, me n Alvin ended out shift today, Gampai with a packet of milk and a bottle of soyabean. Thats it for today, of course bringing home the sore n swollen fingers. However, i really enjoyed myself, even plan to go help nex week budden in Indo liao. So far i tink these 2 daes got raise more than $200! very happy indeed.

Day 6 of BJT07

2007-12-15T22:16:00.000+08:00

Day 6, 23/11/07, Friday

It’s a rather weird feeling that we are not required to go to the high school anymore; instead it is Tsing Hua University today. Of course like all universities around the world, its’ huge (duh!) in terms of landscape and the facilities are definitely duo zhi duo chai. Tsing Hua is quite a prestigious school (heard so) and I think they definitely have the best facilities for their students; sadly we don’t get to go into any of the buildings used for official teaching or learning. I find the observatory cool! ; it stands tall on a hill and highest among the other buildings. The way that the canteen functions was wicked; not having fixed menus but like a free-for-all buffet! Then there was this Ezlink type of card used to make payment, inside got a certain credit value then just check out ur food with that card lo. Once again, the food portion was huge,alot of us cannot finish the food... Oh, also had ice cream and soya bean made by the Uni students themselves, some Tsing Hua food production department.

After lunch was a visit to the Summer Palace. Siaosiao... there is sucha huge garden and witha vast lake contributing to the amazing vista. The walk through the park damn long, very tiring, they still sae take bus 11, say until so nice which is actually use human legs to travel la. Zhudan also mentioned that summer palace is rebuilt after the invasion by the ‘eight allied nations’ but many original things that exist were either taken away or destroyed. Stupid retarded invaders, bloody selfish and act like bunch of losers... take other nations' property then claim as their own... Somehow, I wonder why Chinese are so inferior and weak in the past, they like zhuo bo about it. Moreover, why don’t these eight countries, in present day, have a sense of guilt, having wrecked so many beautiful things and art pieces? Wdv la, all the swears direct to em la...

Anyway, after dinner, we went to watch the acrobatic show, it was MARVELOUS! Those stunts and moves, I bet it takes years to master; poor performers. Have to agree with the phrase ‘tai shang yi fen zhong, tai xia shi nian gong’, 1min of performance but 1decade of hardwork and they’ve come so far just for these performances. After knowing the price of the ticker, RMB 100, well, I think it’s not that bad, hope their boss give them a reasonable amount of pay. I like the bike 1 most... handless bike riding then... stand on it while its still on motion... the background music oso very nice... the somersault 1 was nt that bad either, they very agile, i wanna learn to just do 1 somersault lol!

Day 5 of BJT07

2007-12-14T23:43:00.000+08:00

Day 5, 22/11/07, Thursday

Unknowingly, it’s the last day of the school immersion programme and I just manage to get really ‘immersed’ with my class! To be honest, I get along with the dudes sitting around me more than my buddy, coz the buddy was kinda solo in class, somemore he chairman, alot of saikang to do. Nothing special in class today except for the chemistry class, it was the 1st and one and only lesson I can understand. I think because I’ve learnt that chapter, its on metals... group I i think and the teacher knows how to teach, foreigners! Later on got farewell assembly, we finally get to meet the principal. He looks wise and friendly; he gave a long speech which I think is rather inspirational and set me into deep thoughts, erh...maybe bah, now forgot what he said liao. From what I remembered, he mention about the world economy, importance of education and Chinese culture, well i guess any principal can say these.

I really hoped that China students can visit PJC someday, Its time for us to show 'better' hospitality! We cannot lose to the Chinese in China! Anyway, it’s bid farewell to our buddies, I hope to stay in contact with my buddy and more with the class people because I still have lots of questions to ask them, it’s only them asking me and i dunt get to ask them! With that, left the school and never coming back I guess. Some peeps were like all emoed and don't wanna leave, kind of irritated actually.

Food review again: had steamboat for dinner. Chinese people do eat a lot, the quantity is excessive. Not only we had steamboat stuffs, there are also noodles, rice and extra portions of mutton! It keeps reminding me something my dad said about ‘it is absolutely okay to not finish all the food on the table in China’. So do they mean it this way while they prepare the food? There's rice which is like free flow in all restaurants in China, their rice probably drop like rain. Oh, then also noodles, then of course loads of crap for steamboat.

At night also went to supermarket get stuffs for the other half of the trip, which is of course no more classrooms but places of attraction. Me, Kahkian n Zhilun were walking around the top floor and wth... we were searching for lar pi xiao xin cartoons... then we saw this section... all pron videos, wow... they sell it like its oreo in the biscuit shelves. And i got myself a lip balm which is the lipstick type, more convenient than the 1 mum gave me, which is... ya, effective but very oily... Very happy when Zhudan announced that tml morning meet up time abit late. Yay! finally some time to sleep more.

Day 4 of BJT07

2007-12-13T22:40:00.000+08:00

Day 4, 21/11/07, Wednesday

I kind of used to the school system liao; there's a short self-assessment period in the morn then got lessons till afternoon with 10-mins breaks in between. The only interesting lessons are English and PE. The English teacher was COOL! He’s half Canadian and half Vietnamese. What really fascinates me most is he uses 100% American English to teach, no mandarin used to explain and he seem confident that his students will understand his class. Hes hairstyle oso very nice stylo la, like the predator in AVP. In PJ, Chinese lesson got English, mayb bcoz of ANgie, coz i only attended her class, ridiculous! He also teaches vocabulary based on a theme and a text, pretty much like primary school but of secondary school standard in Singapore. We learnt things on Rock 'n' Roll, watch a music video then went through some facts.

PE lessons was ownage! The teacher intro traditional games like the chapteh kind of thing to kick around, the ring and bar and the taiji racquet and the ball. I love all those! Then the uber-cool thing is taiji sword and taiji quan. How I wished I can play a few of these during the 10 years of school in SG! But sian, SG sch the PE lessons kns 1... esp during primary and sec sch, they can jus hire any fatass or heavy smoker person as PE teacher, wth! I bet i'm much much fitter than THAT fantong la! Anyway it’s completely new activity and I envy those China students being able to expose themselves to so many types of physical activities. Speaking of those activities, i know realised that the chapteh ting is damn easy to play n very fun too... Shanxin challanged me... n of course tio owne la, she Beijinger leh. taiji racq ting was awesome too, it relies more on precision n accuracy more than strenght like badminton n tennis. Hmmm, in the end, our PE lessons became double periods coz its jus too fun and we beg the teachers ( both sides) to let us continue PE and ponned lessons :P

In terms of meal so far, lunch was great as I went out of school to eat with Khaiting n Zhixiang's buddy. And it really is far better than school food! DuH! Peking duck, the famous local cuisine was not as nice, its jus the crispy skin that’s outstanding, but overall kns la, can find it in any chinese restaurant in SG. School was fun even though I dunt get most lessons, i jus fake fake nodd wen the teacher was looking over my direction :P but I know how the teachers teach la, very patient de and the studetns respect em alot. One thing’s for sure, the teachers very enthusiastic and engaging, they point out the important points to note. SONG BO! liddat can skip all the retarded memorising. Bad thing is, they giv homework everyday! Zzz. However, the students are very independent learners and they do their assignments despite their busy schedule (i tink). I also feel like part of the class from this day because many students approached me to ask about SG, about capital punishment, the edu system and of course PJC. I was using the entire 10 mins breaks between lessons to chat and crap with them and it was really enjoyable conversing with em. Coz of this, very paiseh, boarded the bus(leaving school) late because to engaged that didn’t notice time.

This night was quite fun, me and the dudes, Zhixiang n Zhilun decide to eat cup noodle... outdoors with thin clothings! But they psed me lo, 1 wear jacket...the other wear long pants,wth... i wear shorts and pj polo lo + slippers. Hmmm, before eating got 1 small event, quite retarded... Jes tried to bluff me that she duno wer the vid cam charger go... initially of course freak out la, lost liao then will cause alot of trouble. ( Mrs wee signed out de, she will be responsible, then i will feel guitly, coz i in charged, then next few days still play wad shyt, no mood liao.) Anyway, that troublemaker tink trying to bluff me very funny lo... so i just dao'ed her for fun la. So.. continue to execute plan, go down eat noodle.... then duno y Jes follow, sae she wanna apologize or else wont go bck. -.-" Haha, of course me n the dudes jus play around with her... Anyway, finally shes off in awhile so we continue eat... waiting for Shanxin to come back. before that Casey returned to the hotel earlier, then he saw me n Zhixiang out ther eating, Zhilun zhao back liao. Talk talk for quite some time, then haha... he treated me to Beer, Song bo! In this cold weather man, damn shiok la! But cannot tell teachers... lol, thats like duh la. Then hor while drinking halfway, Shanxin came bck in her uncles's car, of course I hid the can la, then quickly end any convo. By this time abit buay tahan liao, coz feeling cold, mayb coz inside warm due to beer but outside getting cold.... perhaps is more like uncomfortable, due to tis different, aiyah the wadeva logic Karen spoke of la... Back to room, prepare gift then Zzz quite late.

Day 3 of BJT07

2007-12-12T23:04:00.000+08:00

Day 3, 20/11/07, Tuesday

It was a rather short day even though we went to a number of places. Same thing like yesterday, lessons in school. This time, I learnt more things because I attended other lessons like English, physics, PE and maths.

Maths: rather difficult coz they learn stuffs like parabola and elipse, then the formular n explanation in Chinese, Cheem! English: like primary six? They learning simple grammer, then there's this ws on vocab, quite ordinary. I wished i can have grammer lessons too coz i tink my english is not that gd. Physics: catch nothing coz its liek, electricity topic? Probably magnetism, then in chinese, gone! PE: sit around watch the guys do gymnastics, then b4 that went to jog around the track with them too. Something different is that guys n gals the PE separate.... Oh ya, and i'm quite pissed off during English lesson, coz the teacher like... very smug n irritating. While she was teaching, then the class like sian sian then questions with no response, so she was murmuring, more like whispering to the guy infront... Mayb the guy is English pro in that class or mayb hes the supernerd. If i'm not wrong, she definately said 'bu yao shu gei na ge wai guo ren' WTH! Its like i'm a loser ther lah and u China people alwes no.1 in anything -_-*...

This time, during lunch time, I went out with my buddy to get some snacks then we went to play basketball. He says there r only 3 ways of eating during lunch time: eat out, snack or go canteen. I think the seniors would prefer to eat out or just snack. Anyway, he also took me for a tour around the schl, the science block, garden and computer rooms. All these no diff from Pj la. It’s another tiring period of lesson (Chinese Culture i tink) before leaving school. Its the 2nd day but i managed to know some of the class peeps, besides me buddy, theres this cool dude sitting beside me, LuYan then the friendly lady at the left, YaoLing. Oh, and there's this Korean girl too, they all very friendly and socialable.

We went to this Olympics site, shaped like a bird nest, strange why they like it that way (did the guide explain? lol, didnt listen i guess, i feeling abit sick coz cold) Next 2 destinations were tea house and Then restaurant for dinner and cultural show.At the tea house quite cool, got this lar pi siao xin ting to check for the warmth of the water, if suitable then it will pee! COOL! Then hor, saw this attendant, which me n Kah Kian think is rather pretty, so decided to take a pic b4 leaving for dinner budden no time liao then cannot find her around! fate, sad... Nth special for dinner but it’s the 1^st ‘delicious’ meal, maybe to welcome the other grp of teachers?

The only interesting thing today was the night walk. Gladys, Ahboi, Onon and me went out for a walk at night. We went to buy fruits actually, budden decided to walk on. It was cold of course, and very quiet, few cars. Strangely, I don’t feel so insecure; I mean we’re in a foreign country and in a suburb area. I guess probably because we look very local and walk along main roads hence more safe. Funny thing also, we actually walked pass that chen ren bao jian shop... after some discussion, decide not to go in coz still not sure wads inside :P Anyway, went to a convenience store coz the gurls wanna get batt... then we get ice creams! Very very strange, eating icecream in cold weather, very shiok feeling, its like not cold anymore. Walk back while eating then we walk pass this ... area (park, temple?), with this huge beautiful boulder with Beijing 08 olympics logo on it. So went in to take photos then walk walk. Lol, then suddenly hear dog barks and the guard was seen like looking out, so...Jus Zhao lo! Then while crossing street got siren... Lol, we still thought is like police chasing us la, in the end is jus ambulance. Got back to hotel quite late le, nearly 11pm, split the fruits and off to sleep!

Day 2 of BJT07

2007-12-11T21:48:00.000+08:00

Day 2, 19/11/07, Monday

Finally, it’s the main event we pioneers are here for, the exchange programme. I feel kinda nervous; wonder if the students were like very enthusiastic/friendly or rude/serious type. We had a short tour when we arrived at the school, a teacher was already waiting there, at least HE seem like a friendly guy. Hes great coz he tried to converse in English which i tink is not bad, then he always smiling, then he very enthu. I do have to say that I’M envious… their school is equipped with plenty of facilities (many pool tables, {pjc 1 lousy surface and old, kns} indoor basketball court and lift!)

Their assembly… not what I expected, because I heard they can sing their national anthem with PRIDE, loud and heads up. Budden what I see and hear is the students, some only standing, few even yawned, goin Zzzz and only the group behind me (buddies) sang out loud coz i tink they put up show lol. Well, ‘bai wen bu r u yi jian’ with a different meaning. Met the students and my buddy, Zhao TianCheng from class 9. 1st impression of class: 7/10 because they are not that lively and enthusiastic but at least they smiled back at me when I greet them. Lessons were boring because it’s Chinese language kns man dun get a shyt, then the way the teacher present oso sian sian de. Their standard of mandarin, without doubt few times more difficult and all the students duno is fake or wad, seem to understand. The next thing to reflect on is actually the class the school food, average, so its obvious that many students choose to go out and eat.

After leaving school, we went to Xidan, a shopping district where teens hangout, like Shibuya in jap budden the girls not HOT de lor, look so freaking lianz. From the 3 buildings I went, 2 of them sell mostly stuffs for youngsters/teenagers. Definitely not for tourist but you can bargain. Saw lots of stuffs, from accessories to shoes and clothes, but the coolest thing is is the food! They have barbeque Squid and chicken!, Taiwan sausage, BBQ corn, Hot milk Tea and Ping tang hulu! I spent like nearly 50yen on food, never shop for other stuffs. So most of the shopping time with Kah Kian and Zhilun, go around eat. Sorry Zhixiang n Shenghong for psing u 2.
1 conclusion for the day, if I were to be in that school, I’d choose to go out and eat… moreover the food at roadside stalls in Xidan is heavenly godly good!

Day 1 of BJT07

2007-12-10T22:49:00.000+08:00

Day 1, 18/11/07, Sunday

Arrived at Beijing at around 3pm plus, it was cold as expected when we stepped outdoors, 6 degrees at that time. Hmmm, but i think it's so much worst then Shanghai. Somehow, it’s not that bad still and I think it’ll be worst coming few days, just curious how the locals can take it; they have four seasons, omg, they gonna have lotsa type of clothings. The tour guide Zhudan, look rather friendly, was worried if she’d be angry because some of us were ignoring her when she’s talking abt Chinese history. We arrived at the hotel shortly and the sky’s pretty dark at 5pm! Rather unusual in Singapore and also dinner time at around 6pm? I had mine at like, 7 or 8, depends on me mom or my bro who dabao.

At the 3 –star hotel we were staying, not that bad actually, basic facilities all in and looks decent. But, the 1st thing we were told is to check if anything is… faulty or broken. WTH! Obviously the hotel is crappy, its either they have lousy maintenance or they want to scam my money. Anyway, dinner was fine, quantity without quality I guess. All spicy food, sux, then starchy and full of gravy, yux. Again, i wanna compared with my visit to Shanghai, now, [Shanghai 1, Beijing 0] coz of the food.

After meal, went to a department store to get daily needs and food. Things are definitely cheaper than in Singapore and many packed in large quantity like the 2litres Coke! I spent like only RMB20+ on some snacks, 2 bags of titbits, $4? Then those other noobs, buy until so Ex. While going back, the streets were kind of empty and quiet, its true like what Zhudan said, Beijingers no night life. All I see was KTV and massage parlour, no other entertainment spots, not even bar. Oh, oh, thers' this thing called the 'Cheng Ren Bao Jian', guess wad? Itsa sex shop! nice name man, i still tink is like pharmacy or massage or gym thing la... Anyway, that night had a soso, okok sleep, but Zhilun n Zhixiang those 2 arh... keep telling me some taboo crap abt staying in hotels... make me uneasy la. Lucky, had a gd slp la, 3 people sharing a room, abit squeezy but more lively!

BJT07 - Beijing 2008 Olympic games

2007-12-09T22:40:00.000+08:00

Haha, after like, 1 week plus le, finally post reflections for Beijing trip 2007, been so busy for the past few days, go msia, go sch, host visitors. Zzz, now that i'm free, will start on those reflections stuff and of course i wanna save my report that i handed in, here.

I shall now name the Beijing trip 2007 BJT07... in short la, coz the nex few posts will have daily reflections, individual postings. Well, here goes the report for the teacher de, CNPed here.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

Beijing, the capital city of China had been given the honour to host the Olympic Games, a global event, in 2008. Following this decision is loads of planning and preparation for the People’s Republic of China. The winning of this bid in 2001 for the host of particularly the summer Olympic games is hard to come by and hence China is doing her very best to look into all aspects like the facilities, competition locations, communications and other needs. According to the locals, many think that it is a chance for the 1.3 billion Chinese to ‘shine’ and show the world that they are more than just a heavily populated nation; it is an opportunity to draw the world’s attention to China’s rising economy, technology and as an influential world power.

China is known for her long yet mesmerizing history and culture; hence the Beijing 2008 Olympic emblem also reflects China’s unique culture and tradition. The design is seen as a combination of a red seal used commonly since ancient China and a traditional calligraphy written Chinese character ‘jing’ from the words ‘Beijing’. The symbol is known as ‘Dancing Beijing’ where the ‘jing’ is written like a dancing athlete with implications of world peace, progression, love and hospitality. The slogan ‘One World One Dream’ conveys the profound message of world peace and progress, working together towards a common aspiration despite the difference in language and race. This is an inspiring phrase that expresses what is needed most in the world today, peace among mankind in the one world we share and care.

The most eye-catching article related to Beijing 2008 Olympics is the Fuwa, official mascots of the event. Fuwa literally means ‘good luck dolls’ and they consist of 5 members, representing 5 traditional elements and the 5 Olympic rings. Each of the ambassadors namely Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini, are created to express different meanings and greetings. When the names are put together, it will produce the phrase ‘beijing huan ying ni’ which means ‘Beijing welcomes you’.

Beibei represents the blue Olympic ring, with the design of a fish and carries the blessing of prosperity.Jingjing is an endangered animal from China, the panda. Despite being the black ring, it brings happiness to people everywhere. Huanhuan is a more unique character as it being red in colour, symbolises the Olympic flame. Of course, he spreads the passion for sports and Olympic spirit. The yellow ring, Yingying, represents the Tibetan antelope. He brings the blessing of health as the antelope is an active and agile animal that runs the vast fields of China. Lastly, Nini is the green ring, the swallow or kite that spreads good luck and fortune across the skies. These characters are very meaningful and they convey the wishes that the Chinese host have for their visitors in 2008. These mascots are successful in spreading news of the arrival of the Olympic Games in 2008. Merchandises and cartoons made featuring them are very popular among locals and tourists.

The biggest preparation still lies with the facilities and the schedule of the games itself. The Beijing National stadium was constructed in preparation for the games; it is to hold the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games. The place is known as ‘Bird nest’ due to its unique nest-like design and features. Other 30 venues for the games are clustered around Beijing city hosting more than 300 events. Transportation and communication systems are also carefully planned and built. The main modes of transport like the subway trains, buses and taxis will be widely available by then. The Olympic Village will also be constructed with the best facilities with training centres to cater the needs of athletes.

Despite these preparations, many people are still concern about many problems that still surfaced in China such as environmental and social issues. The air pollution problem still lingers and had tarnished China’s image. It has been identified that the heavy traffic is causing this and hence there are actions to reduce on-road cars and consumption of petrol. Water supply has also been a huge concern as even the locals are aware of the problem; thus most were drinking from bottled water instead of the tap. In terms of social problems, the government are trying to bring attention to the locals to be conscious of their actions and will implement penalties like fines. The appearance of counterfeit money notes in recent years had been a major predicament; tourists and even locals themselves are conscious of notes during any transactions. Other morally incorrect behaviours like spitting and shouting inconsiderately in public places are also discouraged.

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is a grand event that involves the masses around the world in a way or the other. I believe that we are all counting down till the 8^th of August 2008 along with Beijing, excited to see how well Beijing can show its warm hospitality and contribute to the success of each game.

The BIG universe we are in...

2007-12-02T22:03:00.000+08:00

For 1 time, i realise that i've never look above my head at stars. Yesterday night at Pagoh, many of us ( me, family n couzes) witness this beautiful cluster of STARS!!!

It was like usual, family gathering, all talking away, watching tv and eating even its like 10pm+. Cyan n I were watching animations after animations from his whole collection. Then suddenly, the laptop screen jus turned dark, the surroundings too... guess what, blackout of course. There was abit of a commontion, searching for torchlights n candles, i used my LED screen DS to navigate (Proud of the DS for its bright bright screen). We settled down, then some1, not sure who, went outdoors then go like 'WOAH' so we all went out to see... starting, we gazed at the direction facing out from the door, there were like hundreds of twinklies! Then, another 180 degrees turn of the head...... THOUSANDS of them!!!! STARS!!!

Its extremely beautiful and gorgeous, they look so bright in the cloudless night sky and of course no 'man-made' lights. The 1st thought every1 had was 'how come we didnt realise the star scenery from here (pagoh) was so nice?' Every1 jus stood there for like half an hour... Gazing, faces up, neck rotating. Of course, we talked about astronomy, astrology and all those scientific crap and myths. To be honest, the whole sky was magnificant, its like a ceiling decor... i wish i had that in my room, so like wen lights out, it'll b damn cool.

It turned out rather cold due to the breeze, coz of no clouds? perhaps dark... so every1 went indoors, slept early also... pretty rare i guess... i was planning on a movie marathon, but nth i can do abt the power failure. However, learnt something... there are many daily things that requires our attention too... not jus like fuzzy things in sch or newspaper, we often neglect many many beautiful things and opportunity... hence i think i need to be more observant!

Back from Beijing

2007-11-30T00:56:00.001+08:00

Jus got back recently from China, beijing... 2 days ago. Been quite busy unpacking, say hi again to many people, resting and do sch stuff. So i guess it'll take some time for me to compile and post the travel log, probably after i write my reflections n essay.

Class outing... Success!!!

2007-11-16T00:32:00.000+08:00

*smiles*... todays' class outing is the main event... went to ECP for the afternoon.

Morning kinda sux n dun wanna talk abt it much... did video editing, got some technical problems, some people piss me off, packing of equipments waste lots of my time and they are damn heavy (all together).

Moving on to class outing! I m late so very paiseh... every1 waiting for me in cck control station. Was quite shock wen see Lee siah ther, thought she not coming, hmmm but many turned up, i guess it'll b an exciting day ahead! Arrived at ecp at around 3+pm. Started cycling, to the jetty n other places... it was like drizzling then, so kinda worried. Later was ok :D! most of the time, cycling bah, then sometimes stop to rest somewer. Like: at the jetty, enjoy sceneries and refreshments, the porch... Shir was showing some fortune telling ting wich we all dun get. Jus kept cycling after that, back to the bike shop, then rest awhile ther waiting for drew's gang. we were playing cards, talking, n take pictures.

Coming to nite, Shuqing n leesiah left early... so the rest of us, 10, went bowling b4 dinner. Played 2 games, wah... didnt know i deprove so much, cant control the ball liao, now kinda missed Mayfair's bowling alley. Later went to makan and talk kok. kinda sian liao coz every1 tired then later while walking home i tink daryl kinda pissed by my crap... Haha, duno lei, he trying to emo or mayb he oso tired.

Anywaes... it was a really tiring day, outdoor most of the time. I oso tink i managed to achieve my goal! That is to bond the class, bois n girls, they alwes stay in different grps then hardly talk lo. So i mus b like a missionary, go join the girls conve then the rest will oso join. haha, but i tink now the girls oso more comfortable liao la, not so passive. The bowling game did help n oso the dinner at BK. Certainly love this kinda outings, esp with many people!

Nice pics... thanks to some1...

Ya... its holidae, yet getting more lazy and bored of everyday life. Even like blogging, i feel... kind of lazy to type em.

Anyway, for some daily updates, ve'been watching dramas these daes, recently finish PW OP so relieved alot in terms of sch work. Done with Heroes, i'd sae its fairly nice, exciting... but i tink American shows as always, erh, i dun quite get some of their slang and expressions. Feel like watching season 1 once again. Besides dramas, also played a very nice game on DS, luminous arc... a turn based RPG game, completed last Sundae. Now lvling all characters to 99 to chiong dungeon. Nex game to play is probably Rune factory: the ... wdv harvest moon story.

Today went out for the whole dae, 1st badminton to gym then basketball then badminton again. I feel that it was super retarded wut? Ytd, i proposed to go East Coast Park coz got the whole dae to play... then the guys kept saying nex time... then todae, book badminton court on the actual dae, n wtf... onli 1 hour... I came so early... at 10am, jus to wait... to play for that 1 hr? Joudan Janai! but well, happen liao. b4 playing, went to arcade to play, that 1 still quite fun... badminton sux la, 1hr, cant even get warmed up... Later, went to eat then gym at me place with Sam n Ruien. Play bball n abit of badminton. Concludes the dae liao.

I duno wad i've been doin so far... its like all playing, n most likely wasting time. Tml noe overall results, hmmm... mayb i'll decide to chiong studies onot after that.
