2010-07-13T19:51:00.004+08:00

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

FOOD REVIEW!!!!

2009-03-29T12:31:00.006+08:00

Spice Sutra Restaurant & Cafe

this is my first ever food review on my first ever camera....
i hope i don't offend anyone or anything...
here goes...

1. i think this place is a bit difficult to miss because the shop's display lights are not very bright. but it's the same row as thomson community centre and it's only a few shops away...

2. i think the setting of the restaurant is great! they paid attention to every detail. right after we sat down, the waiter lighted a candle for us. on this elephant candle holder thing. which is really exotic and beautiful. the lights are very warm and romantic. even the songs they play in the background are romantic love songs.
=)

3. the service is the best. i commented on the great service and the manager said that he tells his staffs to never leave an empty glass on the table. my water has never been refilled so many times! i also heard a girl choking on the other table and a waitress instantly went over to offer help. really good

4. food wise - really good. i've tried a lot of north indian restaurant. but i have to say the naan here is the best! and they have a wide variety of different types of naan. i wanted to try everything but was too full. i've yet to come back and try more things and i will comment again. chicken mansuri is also really yummy. i ended up eating more than half of it.

5. i asked the waiter if i could take pictures of the restaurant and he let me!! so nice. sadly, the place is not very populated yet because it's still very new. only 3 months old....

6. anyone can eat at this restaurant. because it's halal. however, they sell alcohol so there's no halal sign...
they also cater to vegetarian. so everyone can eat here.

and that's the end of my review. i hope you guys enjoy eating there as much as i did! i'm definitely going back there next week!
=)

Must Tries: chicken mansuri, kashmerri naan, garlic naan, vanilla milkshake

my 25th birthday

2009-03-19T13:06:00.014+08:00

was way more than what i expected!

on the 18th, i met up with linda from ocbc. she passed me 2 presents. one from her and the other from ariana and hwee hong. i don't even know how they knew it was my birthday! turns out, ariana was the one who remembered it and told them about it.
=)

linda had lunch with me and we ended up catching up on so much. she and ariana were my best friends in ocbc.

linda gave me this soft pillow. and she's so cute. she said i'm the girl on the right and she's the girl on the left because she's shorter than me
=)

ariana and hwee hong gave me a handphone dangling thingy...i don't know what it's called lar...but it's so sweet and cute!!!

left work about 11.50pm and lily wished me a happy birthday in advance
=)

and when i got home, i saw yet another surprise on top of the sewing machine. it was a present from my landlord - cherlyn. she took so much effort to do the present. she's a professional photographer and won prizes and stuffs before.....so she printed out one of her pictures and made a card for me!
=)

and this wallet as a present. it's really nice and i like it a lot
=)

so, those were the 3 things that i received that night even though i had to work late....
nearly 12...

and before i went to bathe, cheet called me from london and wished me as well!
=)

on the 19th itself,
i had 2 more surprises
=)

firstly was at work...
christele bought a cake and told everyone that they were going to surprise me in the meeting. but before that, lily already bought a cake!

so we had double cakes!
=)

and since kumi was leaving that night to japan for her wedding, i blew balloons for her the previous night and they brought all the balloons in!!! so funny....
then forced us to take picture together. my face very the shy...
=)

after that, a group photo of everyone in CSG....except sunarti who was sick that day...

and alvin, the only guy in the group, very cute! he went to pour christele's hot green tea on the dried ice so that there will be smoke...then he said to make the ambience nicer...

so cool hor?

at night, i had another surprise from ming
=)

he came to look for me at work
and we had pepper lunch for dinner.

then, he got me an ice-cream cake. the exact same one i had in the afternoon......
and i ate half of it ok...
i was super close to vomitting. serious.............

and the 'happy birthday' plastic thingy is on my keyboard at work...i stuck it at the top right after scroll lock button. cannot remember what button that is....
=)
but everyone at work always ask me...why got happy birthday on your keyboard
-.-"

loads of ppl wished me that day...5 chee, ah cheng, eva, abby, bindiya called me, soon, premmy, nishita, su, jia jun, eunice, ah kent koko, rajkumar, 3 chee etc etc i cannot remember all...and the last person who called me around 8 plus was my father!!!
=)

on the 20th, yet another 2 surprises.......

firstly would be su came to work that day and she gave me a present! which is a really nice bag which can be made to sling for weekends when i go back home! it's from her and lily
=)

and that night, i went to stay with my sister. then she said she wanted to go zouk and do i want to follow. i said no...don't want...you know i don't like clubbing and stuffs...so she left
and i went to bathe. and then i was brushing my teeth when i felt somebody staring at me. so i turned back and i saw my brother!!!
=)

he came up for me and she went to fetch him! so nice!!!

on the 21st, i went to gc and learnt to make momo
=)
they say i'm quite good for a first timer. hehehe

ok. hope premmy doesn't kill me when she sees this photo...not that she doesn't look good. she does but just that she's not dressed to the nines..

received 2 presents....

a necklace and a watch

damn scary lor...branded stuff ok....i heart pain want to use it......
sigh........
i feel good lar to receive expensive presents....

k k
anyway, on the 22nd i had yet another surprise....
my sister and brother wanted to go sing songs...so i'm like ok! let's go! then we went to eat lunch first at this place called saizeriya. it's really good and quite affordable. go try it ok! liang court.
then, suddenly saw my grandfather. then i'm like eh why is ah kong here? my sister said oh i was going to the toilet then i met him halfway...then i was like oh ok. then we ordered lunch and all that...sekali....

my aunty and cousins came and i was like........errrr
ok........
turns out, they came for my bd
hahahaha

after that, we went roaming around and we started playing with the seats at central....
very fun eh...
k i'm clearly very fat d. all the biscuits at work and milo and hot chocolate and chrysanthemum tea and soyabean and limeade...
sigh..........

after that, we had to send my bro back to malaysia
=(

and we raped him!!!!

hahahahahaha

on the 25th no more surprises. it was our usual monthly (or so we try) cousin's dinner... and i had 2 more presents!

and the other is a hippo! from ah kent koko which can record your voice.
=)

and last but not least....

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***special thanks goes out to ms. lim yen yi...for organizing everything and giving me so many surprises. she's THE best sister. sorry i'm always so impatient....but it was because i had only like 5 hours of sleep everynight for the past 3 weeks. sorry sister. i love you

being a kid again

2009-02-22T22:52:00.001+08:00

the last time i went on a bumper car ride must have been at least 15 years ago! i was too young then. i remember sitting with my father and he sort of protected me. i went to the fun fair again yesterday. initially, i didn't want to go. but after that, i didn't want to leave!!! the ferris wheel was scary though...rotated like really fast! but everything else was so fun and nice!!!!

for someone

2009-02-17T20:45:00.000+08:00

i'm only writing this because bin asked me to
hahahha

reason...

2009-02-17T20:43:00.001+08:00

the reason why i've been quiet for so long is very simple
i missed a couple of days because i was away from my laptop so i couldn't post
and then, i want to post a backdated post but i still have something to write on the day
then i end up getting lazy
then the more days i delay, it's like sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit so how to write a bukit of posts right?
hahahahhaha

business plan...

2009-01-15T21:37:00.002+08:00

i'm thinking of starting a business........how?
should i?
can i?
hmm.......

worse to worse, if they can't sell, i can always give them off as presents right?
~.~??!?
argh that's my problem.......
i can't make something if i can't relate a person to it............
=(

lazy

2009-01-13T02:16:00.000+08:00

ish so many backdated posts that i'm lazy to post anything

december 2008

2008-12-10T11:10:00.013+08:00

as i'm lazy and there's just too many days to backpost, i will only post up pictures with captions
=)
in the wrong order.....

dinner with mei hui, rufina and michelle at makansutra.....the food that looked better than it tasted!

the spotty girl! hahahaha. she's damn cute lar...so worried about her white dress being stained....oh yeah...we also found a camera that night and waited for the girl and returned it to her. elaine tam was there as well but she was late so no pictures....

inside plaza sing...the bear shop.....yup. that's the bear's shades.........we were kepoh-ing by watching ppl buy custom made bears.....everything was so cool...choose your bear skin, put the stuffing inside, find accessories for it, name it etc etc. until, the part where you have to stuff a heart inside the bear. the girl will ask you to "if you want the bear to listen to you, you must rub your forehead then rub the bear's forehead". "if you want the bear to talk to you, you must rub your mouth then rub the bear's mouth" etc etc. something like that lar. damn stupid wei......

while walking from tanjong pagar to bugis, i just thought the decoration looked nice......

new year's eve countdown......siloso beach party.........i've never seen an emptier vending machine.....seriously......there were only 3 bottles left! and the coke was there because it was stuck!

foam party.......bunch of guys dressed up as girls..........foam party was interesting and really really cold. but it was fun. until soap got into your eye....but then, they will spray cold water at you and it'll be fun again....
=)

2 fire whatever people......really cool moves...............

oh the foam pool right before anyone got in.....after ppl went in, there was no more foam on the floor....only water and sand....

original tickets for the party was SGD $35. but we were lucky and got 3 tickets for 30. then, after the other 2 came, we managed to get them in for free
=)
plus 3 free drinks, fireworks (i only have a video of the fireworks), free entertainment watching others....oh even free live scene of performances!
=)

bishi bashi champ!!! really fun and interesting!!!!!!! everyone should try it. for 3 players and up! the more the merrier. should include girls as well as there will be screaming to increase the excitement
=)

dessert at hong kong cafe. strawberry ice thingy.......really yummy and nice. but we can never seem to finish it!!!!!! and the leftover looks really disgusting..........

reminds me of a frog/toad's pond......don't ask me why....it just does!!!!!!!!!!

candid shots of everyone laughing......

cousin's dinner at some thai place........

seriously though, this was the best meal of all the....8? things we ordered!

dinner on night of christmas.........kid's table

east coast with premmy...she said...you should make your eye look big. here...let me teach you. i think i look like.......i don't know...weird

err.....i'm not closing my eyes...i just have small eyes that all
=(

camwhores.......we were running out of ideas and we were like...let's do a lesbian pose...

hmm i like this shot.....solarize.....candid pic of me drawing the thing on the sand.....

end result.....

oh we were trying to do the famous jump on the beach shot. we took more than 20 of this ok. and tak sangka, the first pic turned out to be the best....had to prop the cam on an old stump and put it on timer then run like mad........

big foot little feet...............................

like this shot as well.......had to wait till there were no more cyclists/runners/joggers/walkers/passerbys and set it on timer and run back and pose............

do you know there's a sand castle club? really cool.....................

ahh........went to kepoh zoukout but didn't go in lar.........so ex........

when bin and jill came over for a half day trip
=)

dinner at harbour cafe........then on to Rebel but i didn't go in lar.........cos had to work the next day and wake up at 6.30.......

cannot really remember everyone's names........but yup...dinner.........

she came down for a couple of days
=)

food..................cannot remember what dish it is though............

ahhh.....was walking home from Zirca then saw this........but i can't remember what car it is now.......either porsche or lamborghini.......

err.....because EVERYONE took pictures at this tree so we insisted on taking one as well.....
don't know what's so nice sial......

=)

cousin's outing!

2008-11-13T00:29:00.003+08:00

4 chee sent an email to all of us. let's meet up for lunch next tuesday.
we continued exchanging emails. and the final decision was on a wednesday.
then, 5 chee asked what to eat? and she suggested spring court because if you order $79 and above, you can order a peking duck for only 79cents. yup. i kid you not.

the weather was not really good as it was raining quite heavily. all of us brought our umbrellas from work. all except clement ko who had no umbrella in his car but a plastic bag.

which served as his umbrella!!! and he was so happy to use it the whole time!
-.-"

anyways, the food was quite nice. not the best but it was nice.

cal ko arrived an hour late!!!
=(

so after dinner, no meal would be complete without dessert!
we crossed over to swensens.

4 chee ordered the mudpie thing which was quite nice. top layer ice cream oreo, middle layer, crushed (still got big chunks) oreo. and bottom layer, chocolate. a chocolate coated cherry right on the top. then, there's also chocolate all around the bowl.
=)

we also had famous amos butterscotch and pecan cookie.

super yummy!

the happy faces after food.

oh yeah this guy. he only wears LACOSTE shirts. NOT crocodile. the difference? one is facing left, the other faces right. lacoste with open mouth and crocodile, closed mouth
=)

took a direct bus there. and i got lost. i was walking around for nearly an hour! was about to give up when i asked for directions. turns out, i went passed the library earlier on but i was on the other side of the road hence i didn't see it

and guess what? from 1st november 2008 till the 31st of january 2009, we can borrow double the amount!!! the number of loan days are still the same though. but isn't that great? it is for me.

i sat there till it was closing time

=)

ok so anyways, it was her 28th birthday and we went to fish and co for dinner.

5 chee with the couple......everyone is dressed in white!!! oh but 5 chee's is pink....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some wedding...

2008-11-02T23:59:00.004+08:00

that very same day, after graduation, pa sent me home to my room.

and i felt so sad.......... i was never homesick before. i mean, sure i miss him. but i've never actually want to go home so badly before and follow him in the car and talk cock with him and sing songs. just like how we watched mamma mia and we both sang and danced like mad. hahaha

he said my room is very neat. HAHAHAHA

anyways, later that night, i had a wedding dinner to attend. jeffrey sim. i don't know this guy. but he's in the same floor as us. and he sent me a private email inviting me to his wedding. so i thought, i'm new, if ppl can make an effort, so can i right? so ok lar. just attended. then, linda was supposed to go with me but she backed out last minute. so in the end, i went with yee hong and nolan.

with michelle and eng hong. michelle is the nicest girl ever ok. i only knew her for like less than a month and she offered to help me in various ways. she's really nice and friendly!!! plus i find her super attractive.

vanessa who has the nicest body ever, michelle and eng hong and me!
=)

she's 1 year younger than me and she was leaving so had to take more photos with her. hahaha. so sad......i'm not that close to her but i like their team as they're the friendliest!!!

graduation ceremony

2008-11-02T20:00:00.017+08:00

woke up at 7.45am, took a shower, waited for my father to wake up.

we left the house around 8.30am, went to eat breakfast at upper serangoon.
the mee pok soup there is really yummy. and they have cheng teng as well! or as malaccans call it, leng chee kang
=)

went to pick my sister up around 9.20am. then drove all the way to empress place, victoria hall. couldn't get a parking. so stupid. parking space is limited. i think they only have like 10 spots or less and they're all reserved for the VIPs.
bleh. ¦Þ
so my sister took over the wheel instead and i went down since the place was already super crowded and i thought i was late!

went to change and met a lot of ppl there. met these 4 gorgeous ladies who helped me pin up the heavy gown. unfortunately, didn't get to take a picture with them. so i stole this from asanka's facebook. she has a blue ribbon because she's top student. she's damn smart and hardworking...

err...correct me if i'm wrong but i think it's khin su myat, may su mon, asanka palihena and ei hnin phyu.

after that, went down to look for my father and sister. and took a couple more pictures.

just beneath the staircase. the only other time he'll dress up like that is during a family member's wedding. he did not even complain the whole of that day. shit lar how? i love my father so much
=)

i prop the camera up on a window sill. hahaha. aiyah forgot to take a picture of the building. it's a really old building and it is very nice!!! with the 2 ppl who are closest to me. the other 2 are not in singapore (cheet and cheng) and the other 2 passed away already (ah ma and mummy) so it's ok. 1/3 is still better than nothing
=)
plus tai lo wanted to come but he had exams...

see the poor man's face. doesn't it like instantly tell you 'i'm feeling damn bored and hot. when can i go home and take off my shirt and wear my shorts and sit in front of the tv and eat ice-cream?' hahaha

i like this picture a lot. and please, we look so different. hey i just realised i got double eyelids here! her eyes are rounder. my nose is bigger. my lips are thicker. my face is rounder. looks so different ok!!!!!!!!!!!! but i still like this picture. but why is she like holding her breath? why ah 5 chee?

oh. this is the building. and i don't know who that statue is but i think it's sir stamford raffles. we learnt about him in form 2. during penjajahan di tanah melayu or something. hahaha. what to do? i had bad history with history
=)
so anyway, i had flowers because we asked chong to help take pictures. and his cute mother loaned me the flowers because she said, it's nicer with the photo. hahaha.

ish a lot of photos. suddenly i feel so lazy liao. hahaha. how how?

me taking my board thingy. pa is so cute. first, we have to stand at x. then, walk over to y shake hands with this guy. then, go down the stairs. and pa so proudly exclaimed i took pictures of you at x, when you're shaking hands and even when you were walking down the stairs! but then, when i looked at the camera, there was only this picture. turns out, he didn't press the shutter properly. he was too 'gentle' with it! hahaha

after receiving the funny board thingy which says inside congratulations and blah blah blah. i'm using it as my mousepad now....because it's hard ok. and i don't have a proper table. my table is my bed. hahaha.

after that, all the guests proceeded to have lunch but we couldn't leave as we had to take our official photos. so while waiting, i went to look for everyone i knew. but err, it's not that easy. so i only managed to take with a few of them.

while we were sitting down waiting to take our pictures, the professional photographer came to take our picture.

with nyein and ming...3 of us are in the same major...nyein used to play computer football during school! and ming and i would play CS! eh. we have to be there 7 hours ok. have to think of ways to entertain ourselves when classes are only 3 hours!!!

with alvon, handi, adi and indra. so sad yongkie and felix didn't come. otherwise it would have been complete. =)
i went to school and i went back home. that was my daily routine. i didn't talk to anyone.
until sophie came to talk to me.
then, on friday, alvon and yongkie came to talk to me. so sad that they're all not in singapore already............
=(

then, it was our turn to go on stage. the Oxford Brookes University - Computing and Software Engineering major.

can see me? luckily, papa is a good photographer and likes to take far shots and close up shots. hence...

me without eyes!!! hahahaha. eh ok lar. my eye in real life is still quite...err..NOT THAT SMALL!

after eating, i wanted to take more photos. and 5 chee helped me. and i knew pa was like dying of boredom already.....

so we took a photo here and suddenly, the very same pro photographer from no where appears infront of us and say do a crazy shot do a crazy shot.

this was the best crazy shot i could come up with. hey you know professionals are damn fast. they can like take 3 pictures in 5 seconds or something.

we also tried throwing our mortar boards indoor. but a bit the dangerous because it was super duper crowded!!!

and that is my super duper handsome and young looking and nice body father looking at us. just smiling like that. then i thought to myself...ish he looks more and more handsome as he grows YOUNGER!!!

so i went up to take a 'hao lian' shot with him as well.

see...her 'tao chio'...........hahahaha.................

k lar k. kiss him
=)

but the photo so blurry one........5 chee you forgot to hold your breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as we were coming down, saw chong and his brother. we're all malaccans!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with robert and ming......project group members........... we had lotsa sleepless nights together ok!!!!

robert and kang. robert is indonesian but hokkien lang! and kang is johorian. oh. the pro photographer came to take our picture again........

and even when we came to the grass to throw our boards, the photographer came again and asked us to bend down!!! ish. must ask him to give us all our pictures. but but...where to find him ah?

with sophie...my only girlfriend. i knew other girls but we were not that close. but even sophie is in a different major. =(

multiple attempts of throwing the board............... but still.........the day is not over....

finally!!!

2008-11-02T13:30:00.000+08:00

traditional outfits

2008-10-28T20:00:00.004+08:00

those who know me well enough should know that i want to own at least 1 of every single traditional outfit. well, so far, i only have cheongsams which are not even mine because they belong to my grandmother. and are at least 65 yrs old! have to be super careful with those.

well...word of advice...if you ever want to buy a sari in singapore, make sure you go to this shop! it's in little india. they have the nicest, most patient ppl. and super good discount!! hahaha. although, i doubt you'll be this lucky lar...

so anyways...i'm lazy to repeat the story because i'm sure i've repeated it at least 5 times. so i'll just copy and paste what i wrote to ariana (my new friend at work. we email each other everyday....she's really nice and cute. and we're quite similar in certain things. like we both like food for starters. hahaha. but she has super nice skin!)

I bought a sari! Well, I've always wanted to own 1 (or more) traditional outfit of every kind (also another reason I want to be an air stewardess). Well, I'm not exactly in the position to spend extra now but the thing is, my sister is going to India for a friend's wedding and she wants to wear a sari. But she's afraid that it might be too rush once she's there so she thought she'll just get one here first. And I followed her. Then, the piece that she likes costs 48 bucks (just for the cloth). The blouse is standard – 10bucks and petticoat – 5 bucks. And the cloth that I liked cost 58. so I was like it's ok. I'll get it another time. I really have no money. (because I was sort of bluffing them because I didn't really intend to buy even though I liked it.) so she kept giving me discount. 55. 53. then I said, all I have is 50. but I want the full set. Then she said ask boss. Then the boss said full set 60. the best. Then I kept saying it's ok. Next trip. Next month. Etc etc. and he suddenly said AIYAH OK OK! Then that's it. And wtf…I felt so bad. (my sister said the boss looked like he nearly cried!!! I felt so bad!!! but my friend later on said they usually get cloth for about 5 bucks so he's still making a profit but not so much.) so in the end, I bought it!

and this is how i looked in it!!!

with latha...the best salesgirl/ shop assistant/ sari wearer ever!!!

very happy now...
just thinking if i can wear this to my D & D. but ariana also said that last year it was traditional outfit. so i was like wtf....makes me a bit outdated right? hmm.......

such an eventful day!!!

2008-10-25T23:59:00.013+08:00

i reached malacca late last night at 11.59pm sharp.
got down, watched a movie with father and sister. sahara. not bad.
then, waited for my brother to come. finally slept at 6am.

10am, madeline called me...
"wei you want to go for bernie's church ceremony?"
"sleeping...."

woke up finally about 10.30 am and went for breakfast.
then, called bindiya. went over to her house.
spent a good 30 minutes? with her and jillian. jillian damn pretty lar wei how?!!?

then, went to eva's house. picked her and her mum up. went to repair her computer which she thought was infected with virus but wasn't. went to dataran and went shopping!

finally bought my white shirt. but still didn't manage to buy a dress. oh...my dress size from brands outlet store is no longer S but XS. then, went home, slept for a good 15minutes, bathed, changed, waited for madeline.

went to bernie's wedding.

the very good thing is i managed to catch up with 4 really good friends. bindiya, eva, madeline and soon. i also got to see my very first wife, the girl that we used to wait for bus together, xiao jun. i also saw pam ong. one who i knew since standard 1. and last but not least, yi may whom i've known since form 1 but we lost contact since form 5!!

taken in the toilet. before we went upstairs. i think this is my favourite photo. don't know why but i like simplicity. no point in complicating things. =)

Madeline and her famous line "let's take crazy photo this time!!". so we all had to do something stupid....

oh before i proceed further, let's talk about the food first!!!
=)
first up, cold dish. there was.....ok i cannot remember what was there. but i know there was an ah pek one where everyone hardly touched! think it was some kind of weird vege. err i was starving so when food came, ate like a barbarian...yeah. i wanted to eat the basket though. looks so tempting!!!

next, fried rice! it wasn't the best but i was still super hungry so it tasted really nice!!! just looking at it makes your mouth water right?

shark's fin soup!! which is not my favourite but anything goes. beggars cannot be choosers.

look this is the original colour. but look at soon's shark fin soup. she loves vinegar so much, i think she put 2 spoonfuls. no joke!

(as i'm typing this, i'm suffering...my ulcer damn painful and big ok....aiyah...) so ...food is very random now as i can't remember what came first. anyways...cereal prawn!!! and madeline threw the orange on my plate. i wanted to eat it later on but you know when they cut it that way, it's damn hard to peel the orange!

the last dish before the dessert came. the usual black mushroom, brocolli and that funny funny stuff that only old ppl know how to eat and actually enjoy eating it. shit i hope i'll never be old...i mean, i want to die at least at 80 lar. but i hope my taste buds don't change!

ok. food out of the way...time to camwhore again.......soon siew wei, me and madeline. i knew soon since primary but we got close in standard 6. we even have the unicorn club - copy from sweet valley lar...biasa lar... and madeline, i knew since form 2. we were then in the same class till form 4 where she was my partner.

yau yi may whom i've known since 13. very very very pretty girl. very nice as well. sad that i never got very close to her. but we used to talk to each other while waiting for our parents to come pick us up. well, you know what they say. it's never too late. =)
pam ong whom i've known since 7 and we were never close as well.

me and yi may. hey of course must take picture with pretty girl right? =Þ

3 of us were in the same class in form 2. only one missing is bindiya!!!! anyways, our row was the most multiracial row in the class. soon, mad, bin, me, preveena, bahqiah, zainatul, hidayah.

we were waiting for 3 things. 1, xiao jun to come. 2, food to arrive. 3, bride's entrance.

choy xiao jun finally came. i knew her in form 2 as well. we used to wait for our bus together. hey our row damn hardworking one ok. all stay back to 1.45pm to study then only go catch the bus at 2pm. oh yeah! she's my first ever wife. up to form 5, i had 15. hehe

she's damn cute and lovable lar. her voice also damn sweet. she went to do her nails before she came at dataran. it costs RM100 ok!!! i will die if i had to pay that kind of money for nails!!!
don't know why our table so empty. only 7 of us. (yi may and bf). finally, we had a group shot.

then, again, madeline said crazy shot.....so had to come up with something really fast. eh my eye seriously damn small lar!!!

wanted to do an artistic shot when we all cheers and yam seng!

you know what i hate about chinese dinners is the fact that you have to keep waiting for your food! but luckily, i was in good company. camera in hand, good friends by my side, what more can i ask for? =)

the bride and groom giving a speech...........so matching and what's that word? 'serasi'

their second outfit. first time guy also changed right? damn power. eh this old man. he knew i was going to take a picture. but he danced through. hahaha. damn cute lar. but the couple looks lovely.

she's bringing sexy back.... (hehehe. works both ways ...............)

towards the end of the night, we took lotsa photos and danced through the night. reached home at 12plus! at 12sharp, my father called me! hahahaha.

jeff (yi may's bf), yi may, me, soon, M something...pam, mad and xiao jun. before everyone started leaving.

seriously had so much fun!!! who else is getting married? you all should go...seriously...nothing like meeting your old friends. friends that you hardly talked to, friends that you have not seen in 7 years, everything will come naturally....

p/s: whoever's leaving comments, i know you need a blogger/gmail account to log in and you don't want to do that but can you please at least put your name at the bottom of the comment? then i won't have to crack my head as to who's saying what. thanks a lot! but i know the past 3 anonymous is abby lar...

last but not least, the best picture of the night. with the couple themselves!!!

trying on more clothes...

2008-10-24T00:49:00.004+08:00

centerpoint is a good place to shop because they have robinsons!
and and...there's no one there!
=)
the ppl are really nice and friendly.
and the best part is, they have the nicest and biggest dressing rooms with mirrors all around!!!

so anyways, was killing time today, i went to try on more clothes!
=)

this is really nice from side view but from the front and back looks funny because it's like...the dress went in your ass and it's stuck there! it's 109 but has 20% discount so 87.20. i definitely won't but it!

this is only so so. it's 95.20 after discount. a bit too plain and the cloth wasn't all that great.

oh i loved this. of all the dresses i tried so far, i instantly fell in love with this. it's my favourite. but it's 95.20 as well! damn ex.......i don't want to pay RM200++ for something like that! even though it's so nice
=(

hahaha

guess how much this is? it's only ok. not that great. and it costs 529! told you robinsons has the best fitting rooms right? and they all come with a chair! super nice ok.

ok. this is it. this is my wedding dress. no doubt. damn nice!!! 529 as well but was on sale so 149. wah liao...serious.........i want my wedding dress to be like that. but in white. err no i'm not getting married yet. but i mean, this has got to be the bestest dress ever! unless of course i'm famous and hot like angelina jolie, i'll wear this to go for teh o ais limau at a mamak stall!

ish.......this has only made me so depressed i'm not a millionaire. or i would have bought both dresses without thinking. hahahaha

when we were much younger, (10 - 12, in primary school), we always have this autograph thingy where it's actually to 'pian gi na' by making them buy fancy books then, we would dedicate a page to 1 particular friend, and that friend can write anything he/she wants in there. one of the most famous sayings would be:

me no money, me no care,
me go marry a millionaire,
if he die, me no cry.
me go find me another guy.

i want one now.......just for the dresses. yes. hahahaha

furniture hunting with friends

2008-10-22T22:59:00.002+08:00

every evening about 4.30pm - 5pm, it will be our cookie and coffee break time at the pantry for about 5 minutes or less. so yesterday, jane said, hey! i need to go furniture hunting. want to join me? so we both said ok.

today, at 6pm, we started emailing each other. hey ok. it's going to be 6.30. get ready. at 6.30, i sent the last email... the contents read ZHOU BA!!!

less than a minute later, they were both at my desk! hahaha

we were deciding where to go which would be convenient for each of us. linda finally said dhoby ghaut because it's more centralised and there's food and furniture there. then i said, ok. i'm an expert at dhoby ghaut.
=)

after dinner, we went to spotlight just to roam around. and we started taking funny pictures. we just went mad and crazy. i would find a place to position the camera, jane would think of what we should do and linda would join in the fun as well.

in some furniture shop named barang - barang. the things there not bad. me, jane, linda.

yup. told you we went mad! basically everything we thought was nice, we took pictures....

then jane asked us to come in and be 'studious'. so we posed with books!!!! then, her next idea was....let's both propose to linda. but the timer was already on and we were like rushing. ok ok. she said. just do this!

final outcome which shocked linda. haha. they're damn cute and funny. i had so much fun hanging out with them! we all felt like it was a friday/saturday because we were all enjoying ourselves so much

=)

my usual walks....

2008-10-20T21:12:00.004+08:00

this morning, i saw some procession going on. there were so many guys queuing up. and there were girls as well but they were all group together on one side....

must be some prayer thing before deepavali?

at night, it was still going on!!! anyways, i came across this sign board. 10 must try food in singapore.

1. Singapore Chili/ Black Pepper Crab
- i've never tried this before and don't intend to because i don't like crabs!

2. Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice
- what's the difference between all chicken rice? i only know singapore chickens are served cold while in malacca, it's hot. so i prefer malacca chicken rice still. cold chicken freaks me out. my favourite would still have to be Hwa Li's Chicken Rice in malacca!

3. Singapore Satay
- it looks just like malacca satay!!! why can't they just say satay? why must say singapore? ish. copy cat!!! my favourite is jiki chicken satay because the chicken is fat and juicy and succulent.

4. Singapore Bak Kut Teh
- i don't like bak kut teh because it's too herbal and bitter. i do love Bak Kee Teng though and you can only get that in malacca!

5. Singapore Roti Prata
- again! the word singapore!
-.-"
anyways, roti canai is still nicer and nothing beats tangga batu roti canai!!!!

6. Singapore Rojak
- malacca has rojak as well..........anyways, i don't like it and i don't intend to try it. it's smelly and it's VERY unhealty because they use 'heh koh' or that orange thingy that comes out of the prawn's head. disgusting!

7. Singapore Laksa
- ok. i think, it's quite safe to say by now that whatever singapore has, malacca has as well. i don't like normal laksa because it's made by santan and i don't like the taste of santan. my favourite laksa is at Ah Ba. because 1, it's cheap. only RM2. 2, it has a lot of 'liao'...what's that word? ingredient. you can put one ingredient for every spoonful of mee and still end up with leftover ingredients. 3. it has no taste of santan. 4. they are nice ppl! i hate 'sea hum' so i ask for extra egg and they will gladly do it!

8. Singapore Fish Head Curry
- i will never eat this because 1, i don't like fish. 2, i don't know how to eat fish head! and 3, i can't take spicy so curry is a nono!

9. Singapore Char Kway Teow
- i don't like this as well because i don't like the smell of it, i don't like chili, i don't like tau geh, i don't like sea hum, and i don't like salty food to be sweet by putting tee chiu!

10. Singapore Fried Carrot Cake
- i love this! but malacca style. singapore style, they have black and white so funny. malacca only has black. but but, that's where the similarities end. singapore black is sweet. malacca's black chai tao kway is salty with super a lot of chai poh and it's super duper nice!!!

11. Wan Tan Mee!!!
- i love this but again, not singapore style because it's sweet! malacca has the best wan tan mee that does not put 'or tau eu' and it's salty and super tasty. the best wan tan mee is definitely Eo Tow!!!

12. Cantonese Rice Congee
- errr.......no comments because i don't like porridge. but if i must eat porridge, i like the kind where the ingredients are cooked with it.

13. Dim Sum
- eh i just realised it's past 10 already. sorry these 4 are under the category of Old-Time Favourites. i like dim sum if i eat it prob, 3 times a year max. because it's too oily and rich. infact, i was craving it yesterday and when i went to vivocity, i wanted to eat it but do you know what? 1 basket of food is 3.50 ok!!! do you know how many baskets i can eat? easily 10 so it'll be $35 which is like like...RM80!!! per person for 1 meal!!!!!!!

14. Haam Chin Pang and other Snacks
- best yiu char keh definitely sin hoe garden in malacca.
- best beh huay zi definitely ramada in malacca
- best han chi peng definitely that old man at ah bong's shop in malacca except he's no more running his business

CONCLUSION: - MALACCA FOOD IS STILL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=)

i'm salivating liao........

HOW HOW HOW TAI LO HOW!?!??!

let's not forget that malacca also has
1. Salty Pork Chop with Potato at 'Ping Ping Heang'
2. Satay Celup (that super nice fried wan tan) at 'Malim'
3. 'Wilson' Chicken Rice!
4. 'Tua Pui Poh' Nasi Lemak
5. 'Bunga Raya' Curry Peng
6. 'Thank You Shop' ABC
7. 'Mangosteen' Cendol (except they tore down his mangosteen so i don't know what his shop looks like now)
8. 'Ah Lian Chee Ai Ke Tio Ah Go Go Bo' Leng Chee Kang
9. 'Bukit Cina' Cincau
10. 'Uncle Tiger' Black Hokkien Mee
11. 'Tengkerah' Putu Piring
12. 'IJC KH Teacher's' Pisang Goreng
13. Siew Pau
14. 'Aun Soon' Tau Sar Peah
15. 'Bukit Beruang' Beh Teh Soh
16. 'Behind Our House' Roti Canai's Best Curry
17. 'Opposite Lim Tian Puan' Hee Kiow Mee
18. 'Eo Tow's Shop' Hee Kiow Mee
19. Ikan Bakar!!!
20. oh shit...i can't remember what else but i know got damn a lot!

trying out dresses...

2008-10-20T02:19:00.004+08:00

i have a company dinner on the 7th. which has been bugging me for over a month now.

the main question of course would be 'WHAT TO WEAR'!?!??!

anyways, today i went to vivocity and tried a few dresses....

blue dress with funny long cloth at the back. at first, i was like....wtf is this piece of string for? then finally figured out it was a built-in scarf. ok lar i'm stupid and slow. ish.

thought i would have fun and try to look like a spartan lady! hahaha

they have this in black as well and it costs $89.90.

then, there's this other black dress for $129.00 which has that shiny shiny diamond thingys down the front. i like the shape of the dress though. but after wearing it, looks too much like a dancing dress....and so expensive!

this is for $50. within my budget but it's not exactly WOW. but i do like the material. super soft and cooling and nice. i am very cheapskate...

just tried this for fun and it's really good as it's loose and flowly. perfect for after dinner when your tummy is bulging. hahaha. $69.90.

all these are not too bad but it's nothing to rave about plus the prices are not cheap. so, i shall just go back to malacca and try to look for somewhere and gather more information on what everyone will be wearing. worse to worse, i will use my old dresses. i just hope it's not too revealing even though i know i have nothing to reveal lar! 5 chee i know you're going to say something!!!!

anyways, i watched max payne tonight and it wasn't too bad. though i still don't like mark wahlberg. it's an action movie about revenge after his wife and baby were killed.

i also went to the canon showroom and tried most of the cameras there. i didn't like most of it. i do like 2 though. the ixus 980 IS and ixus 870 IS.
980IS because it has a nice design, good functions, super sharp - the zoom is good and the pictures are very clear! the buttons and all are positioned in a nice place. it costs $659 and comes iwth a 4GB sd card.
870IS because it has wide angle and that's a really good function. i quite like the way the buttons are placed as well. $599.

some of the other cameras were quite stupid. 1 had lousy buttons placement and 1 more kept shaking! i don't know why but the image kept like moving away. so stupid!!!
the dslrs are heavy lar. and the price is way too expensive. the cheapest is 1,099.

anyways...since i already have a camera now, haha, i will just take my time and hope that the prices will drop!

early day tomorrow. good night!!!

house viewing

2008-10-18T18:00:00.003+08:00

we went house viewing at dhoby ghaut. and i fell in love immediately. it was super small. only 44m but it was perfect for me. if only the price was like 100x cheaper and if only i had money.

but anyways....

................................top view of the building's miniature model............................

........................................view from balcony to living room.................................

.........................................................view of toilet......................................

..................................................view of kitchen...........................................

now, if you have a super duper nice house, you would think aiyah this house is crap. but on monday, when i went house viewing with my cousin and we came across one of the dirtiest, ugliest design and messiest house ever, this is heaven ok.

err actually, all the pictures i had weren't that good. i think i got too afraid to take pictures of the mess. but i swear our feets were sticky and black after that. also felt like some kind of unseen creature was trying to eat us. we immediately washed our legs once we got home!!!

lau pa sat with ijcians

2008-10-17T19:25:00.003+08:00

we made plans 2 weeks ago. each of us were designated a few ppl and there were about 15 in total. in the end, only 4 made it.

.......................................me, eunice, kelly and rufina.....................................

we managed to catch up quite a bit and also planned the next 2 outings. hopefully, more ppl will participate in it. so far, only kelly and i have made it to all. haha.

kelly and i then walked all the way to dhoby ghaut and we started taking a few pictures.

then, this guy asked us to help him take a picture. so we said ok. then, talked for a bit. then, he asked me to go to the other side of the bridge to help him take a picture. and i said, errr, i'm lazy. can you go over there instead and i'll help you take. then, he said no no, what i meant was you go over there and i help you take. siao! why would i want to put my father's camera in the hands of a stranger and stand about 20 meters away!!!!!!

oh. i discovered this shop in centerpoint. they have loads of nikon from more than 20 years back! wong ko might want to come here....

dinner at SSC

2008-10-16T20:15:00.003+08:00

met up with ah ku and ah kim to give her her shoe which she ordered from malacca.

had chicken chop which was only alright. but the chicken rice was good! so was the desert. heh. banana split
=)
i am very easily contented. hahaha

new discovery!

2008-10-15T21:00:00.001+08:00

i decided to try a new route home today.....

and i discovered this building!

i'm so going to go see it when i have the time. does anyone want to join me? it's $8 for adult, $4 for senior citizen, student and child. i still have my student card!!!!!!!!!

=)

my daily morning view while walking...

2008-10-14T08:00:00.001+08:00

this is what i get to see while walking and eating breakfast........................................

i've got an aunty for a sister

2008-10-13T13:00:00.002+08:00

most of the older ppl will know this song by Bread. it's called IF.

If a picture paints a thousand words....

i just hope she doesn't kill me once she sees this!!!

pool and photography

2008-10-12T17:00:00.004+08:00

so after i came back to singapore, i was testing out my father's camera and trying various shots. then, i went to Shaw Tower and saw all these old old things belonging / which belonged to Run Run Shaw. or was is Run Me Shaw? anyways, these 2 were brothers lar. and they own Shaw Towers.

then, i went to play pool! good thing, i was winning 4-1. and i wanted to quit there and then.

quit while you're winning.

i learnt this from 'Mind Your Language'. i can't remember what episode or who..but i think it was that tall guy. Max? and they were gambling in the canteen.

so anyways, the more i played, the more i lost and the final score was 4-5! so sad ok. i can't play any games for too long because i get bored too easily....

stumbled along esplanade and saw this inside. it's some art sculpture made from hula hoops!!!

eh. speaking of which, i'm a hula hoop champ ok. i remember in standard 2, my PJ (Pendidikan Jasmani or Physical Education) teacher gave the whole class hula hoops. it was my first time trying it. then, she said let's see who can last the longest. so everyone started at the same time and then one by one the hoops started falling down. the only 2 left was Cynthia Hong and me. then, we both ended up laughing because we were just waiting for the other to lose...see....i damn pro right? hahahaha

then, went walking around clarke quay and tried taking some shots...

i swear i took at least 20 shots to finally get these 2 decent but not perfect pictures ok. you know it's damn difficult. i think the problem lies with me. wong ko, are you free to teach me how to use a camera?
=)
hehe

i hijacked his camera!

2008-10-11T19:00:00.004+08:00

i learnt this from tai lo....

me: wah!! your camera very nice ah
pa: heh of course lar
me: ya. but under utilised. ok lar! i help you make it more valuable
pa: oh take it lar. i'm not using it also for now
me: oh ok. thank you byebye

so while we were visiting my cousin's grandmother, i was trying to be a professional photographer....

just trying out the different types of shots and wondering what would look nice in photos..

does this thing make the place look very old? but the place is old. it has been there for as long as i can remember. we used to come here a lot when we were kids and we would play games and stuffs....

after that, did some grocery shopping and my brother and i discovered cold storage! i'm so going there from now onwards. they have imported products and the price is the normal price...so we are boycotting other supermarkets. hahahaha

yum yum...sizzling tau hu...i only like japanese tau hu....and this is one of the bestest styles!

claypot chicken! a lot of 'chap' to 'lam' your rice. also has mushrooms and corns!!!!

my favourite vege. 'po li shen chai' or direct translation means glass vegetables. it's a bit bitter? crunchy? i don't know how to say. but it's nice.

sweet and sour fish. which i don't like but i ate 2 pieces......because my cousin took it for me

seee...this is my happy face when there's such heavenly food!

and of course this is my plate. i later ate about 1 more bowl of rice..........

then, we sang a birthday song and she blew out the candle. see how small the cake is? i think it's only 250grams but RM17 ok. cakes are not cheap in malacca.

recently, my father has this new friend who has tattoos all over his body. so, we were surfing the sites and looking at tattoos as well. then, my sister told my father why don't he go be a tattoo artist since he's good in art.

so, we saw a tattoo on the internet which my sister liked and my father drew it out on her back....
nice right?

then, i did one for my father as well....
erased it and drew another one which i also saw from a website....

finding for a gift

2008-10-08T21:25:00.001+08:00

my stepmother's birthday is this saturday and i happen to go down that week.
i don't want to spend too much on her!!!
so anyways, i was thinking of what to get her...
i finally settled on a pearl necklace
=)

didn't cost a bomb but sure made her happy
oh yeah...
i also saw this in the jewellery shop...

necklace also got 7 wonders one ah?

skrew aku sudah longgar

2008-10-06T20:35:00.004+08:00

This is how i would look like if i were to work in Fish and Co Kitchen.

and yes, i know i have small eyes!!!
-.-"

hmm...i wonder how rusty my malay is?

hari ini, saya balik lebih awal sebab nak basuh baju hitam saya. bukan saja hitam tetapi juga yang berwarna gelap. (ish i know i fail) tetapi sebaik saja saya masuk ke dalam bilik, saya mendapati bahawa pakaian saya tidak ada di dalam bekas pakaian saya (sebab ia adalah lutsinar jadi saya akan tahu dalam sejeling? mata). jadi, saya pergi ke dapur dan nampak baju-baju saya sudah dibasuh dan sedang dijemur. alangkah baiknya tuan rumah saya.

10 years of malay down the drain!!!!

possible cameras

2008-10-05T19:01:00.025+08:00

i went to best denki yesterday to look around and 'kua han cheng'. the guy also said camera prices range from 350 - 500. i shall start by brands...

1. SONY
i like sony not because of anything but because it is the only camera that allows you to do this....

and you can also customize it so your picture looks like one of those sticker machine thingys. which is really fun lar. but how often will you actually use it? hmm...and the main point is, it's touch screen and i HATE touch screen ok. i may have studied...whatever my certs are called -> computing and software engineering, computer studies major in programming, blah blah. but i'm one of the lowest tech person. i hate touch screens. i'm weird lar ok. besides that, sony's products are different from others. and they are more expensive. so you'll be paying for...their advertisment. the designs are nice though.

but yeah...apart from that, don't think i'll use sony.

2. OLYMPUS
the cameras are not very attractive and the pictures are not that nice because my sister uses an olympus. and besides that, some of her photos are problematic! however, it does have super cool features.

which other camera gives you shockproof and waterproof (some models even have freezeproof!!). the one that attracts me the most is waterproof especially because i love the water so much. but the design is not exactly nice. and like i said...the picture quality is not all that good..and it's also slightly more expensive.

3. CASIO
my father uses casio exilim. the designs are quite nice. it's slim and not too heavy or bulky.

the pictures come out quite good as well... but this is not too clear because the image is way larger than this and this is the largest that i can post up. but it's still super clear.

there's also this funny function that lets you take multiple shots in 1 photo. quite cool lar but useless. maybe not. i don't know.

however, the features are quite limited. they don't give you colour options like black & white, sepia, etc - which is quite good as i like to play with it a lot. it somehow gives a different...what's that word? effect? to pictures.

all of the settings are pre-set and they call it best shot. so, you just select like night portrait, cuisine, sports, etc. which is good considering i'm not a pro photographer and i don't know nuts about taking a picture except pressing the shutter button. but at the same time, i'm a very rebellious person and don't like to be limited. it's also cool to have panoramic view shots...

4. NIKON
my first sister once told me...nikon cameras are good because they only produce cameras so it's their specialty = definitely better than other brands that also produce other things. she also seems happy with her camera. however...the designs are not that great.

the pictures are not too bad though. but maybe hers has been around with her for a few years now and probably the newer once have much better quality? i haven't played much with this brand so i don't really know about it except what my sister said and her theory does make sense. however, i'm also quite shallow lar.....i saw the cameras on display yesterday and i didn't go like WOW! unlike how sony and casio does to me....

5. FUJIFILM
also specialises in cameras only. i think. when i hear fujifilm though, all i can remember is old photos where they use negatives. and all the shops that washes the photos will have a fujifilm sticker.
my cousin has this but i haven't actually seen how her photos look like. the website does look very interesting! and the features are like quite good. ish i'm a sucker for good advertisements. hahaha. or maybe just because got pretty girls...hahahaha!

eh seriously...super slim...5x optical zoom. wow.....i wonder how much this would cost? it looks quite nice as well. but if i were to choose, i'll take the black or the silver. the other 2 are too ugly.

6. CANON
they specialise in cameras but they also do printers, scanners, copiers but it's all under the same line right? i mean...it all has something to do with imaging right? haha. k i'm damn stupid. but yeah. my first sister used to use a canon ixus and i like the shots. it's also very small and lightweight. plus, i saw michelle's camera on friday and liked it as well. and the photo was good! nice design.

i think this is one of the nicest designs. but a bit too powerful leh...so surely will be damn ex....

this one looks quite ugly....like so boxy...

hmm i was thinking if should get a semi dslr? then maybe my photos will be half as nice as wong ko's. but alamak. the battery is double A. ok ok. i had BAD experience from this ok. NEVER BUY cameras that uses AA or AAA or whatever. make sure they have their own battery. because, my old camera uses just that and it dies really fast. which is another reason why i want a new camera. it's really irritating because i had 2 sets of rechargeable battery (you also spend more money buying batteries!) and it only lasted me not more than 10 minutes. i then got so pissed because i was with my group of friends and we wanted to take pictures. so i went to 7-11 and got one of the most expensive battery. i think it was energizer (silver one. cost me about RM10) and it died in 15minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is also another reason i stop taking photos because it's too irritating!

but then again....so many options...even if i do decide on the brand, which model exactly?

so many things to take into consideration. and i also have a budget though i haven't decided how much yet. haha. hmm but i suppose i don't need like super powerful megapixels. because i don't really like too big photos. and besides, i think anywhere above 5mp would make a huge difference with my 3.2mp camera or 2mp phone.

hmm...another reason i'm so into photography now is because like i said, 1. so many events coming up (3 chee's wedding next year SUPER big event!) and 2, since i walk everywhere now and SO MANY times ok, i want to take shots but i can't. ish... and last night, i saw this guy who took down his pants. i think it was a dare or something and he was drunk. he was actually walking around for a few minutes with his pants down!

so once again, how liao?!

what a name!

2008-10-05T13:17:00.004+08:00

have you walked along orchard road before? along orchard plaza, there's this second hand shop that sells branded watches...

i suggest you don't go there....i rather pay a bit more to get a new watch
=)

(peng kwee in hokkien means quite expensive)

to buy or not to?

2008-10-04T12:44:00.005+08:00

i was happily sleeping in this morning when i received a call at 11.57am from Madeline all the way from Malacca. Bernadette is getting married. wtf la...so fast?! the last i remember of her was in form 4 where she sat in front of me and all she did was flick her hair...
-.-"
no la she's not a bimbo but that's about as much as i can remember. saw her again in 2005? around there...when her dad passed away so madeline and i went for the funeral. well not really funeral lar. just went to go see how she was doing. i've never been close to her but when madeline got close to her, she started hanging out with us as well. hmm anyways...the main topic today is.......

i'll be so busy these few weekends!
- 17th meeting with ijcians in s'pore
- 18th bernadette's wedding in malacca (not too sure yet if i'll be going but i also get to meet madeline, soon siew wei, and some others which she mentioned just now but i forgot...still sleeping ma)
- 27th deepavali!!!
- 2nd graduation ceremony
- 7th company dinner and dance
- 15th father's 60th birthday

wah liao that's nearly every weekend. and the important thing is...err...i need a camera to take pictures for all these. hehe.

hmm problem is...can i afford it with my next pay? i have a camera which is about 4 years old. it's still alive but the pictures are not so good anymore. or maybe it's because other people's camera have better quality and after comparison, it's like...err why my photos so ugly one?

this is from my camera....

the very same night from a different camera...

this is from my phone...sony ericsson k618i...

from michelle's old camera...

from michelle's new canon...

from ah hau koko's camera...

from cheet's camera (nikon?) ....

from pa's casio....

from premmy's camera...

from stephanie's sony....

from nakazawaUjin's camera...

from wong ko's DSLR... but i won't buy this lar..too expensive and bulky!!!

from 5 chee's old camera canon ixus...

from 5 chee's new camera olympus. but i prefer her old camera. although this has pretty good features like waterproof and shockproof!
and lastly, from my camera again...

aiyah..actually, a bit the hard pain because it was the first and only camera i had/have and it has been with me for so long through thick and thin. plus it was given to me by 5 chee for my birthday. i think that's the main factor because i'm very sentimental so how? but the photos are all like very yellow? and blurry. i usually have to take 2 to 3 shots of the same one just to get a decent photo like above. but the 1 good thing that i like about it is, it's only 3.2mp. so, cannot see pimples. hahahahaha. and and...i should be saving money considering how these 2 months i have not managed to save at all....

so how liao!?

ijcians in singapore

2008-10-03T23:26:00.000+08:00

so after the few of us realised there was about 20 of us in singapore, we tried to meet up. we only did successfully twice. i tried to call the third meeting but everyone was so busy and demanding! i sent sms, i used facebook and i emailed. sigh. it's really difficult to gather everyone.

anyways...after no replies and no i cannot make it replies, i was lazy to continue but kelly was really good! she sms-ed me on thursday night and said...how about just the 3 of us meet up first? hmm so anyways...michelle, me and her met at city hall at about 7.15pm.

we then went to Hong Kong cafe in the basement and ordered our dinner. then, took some photos with michelle's NEW camera. aiyah she's damn cute lar ok. seriously. she and bernard are like super cute.

this was taken from my phone...hence the lousy quality again. eh, i think you both look good in this picture right? so can post it up right? hahaha. if you don't like tell me eh.

and these 2 shots are from michelle's camera. see how much better it is?

hmm...but if it was wong ko's camera, the quality would be even better and nicer. but his would be so...inaccessible (am i using the right word here?). not portable. aiyah whatever lar. actually, michelle's camera's quality is seriously quite good and nice.

oh yeah. incase i forget to email. here's who you all are supposed to call ok
michelle: ong ee leen, khor mei hui, goh ni chien, juinn erl
kelly: rufina, eunice, sin dee, kee huey lynn
me: kuah mei hui, elaine, hai ren, siew foong, angeline
only one that we know is not in singapore at the moment would be sharon.
lau pa sat on the 17th of october.

we'll see how it goes by then..

surprise!

2008-10-02T09:00:00.002+08:00

i arrived at work about 8.30am as usual. except...something was different.
there was a package (plastic bag more like it) on my table. there was also a note.

when i opened the plastic bag, there was a BIG piece of blue cake there. it was from Linda because her son just turned 1 the day before. such a lovely surprise!!!

it's good to have great friends

=)

hari raya = holiday!

2008-10-01T23:58:00.003+08:00

hari raya this year was celebrated in singapore and i only had 1 day off. anyway, on this very day, i went out to dhoby ghaut to buy colour pencils because i hate marker pens!!!

anyways...i then went to suntec city and wanted to watch mamma mia but the timing was not very good because tomorrow is a working day. so, we ended up watching eagle eye instead. the movie was not too bad. lots of action. but it wasn't the best. the story line is also only so so in my opinion.

anyways...the movie started at 7.30 but when we bought the ticket, it was 6.50. so, we went walking around and came to the gaming arcade place. you know there's this machine that scoops up sweet and then drops the sweet on a board which then pushes whatever sweet there is and that sweet will come out. there's also a jackpot price where after spending a money, you might be lucky and win it. a teddy bear or something. anyways...we were just watching some ppl playing. then, this particular guy, suddenly left his station. and he didn't turn back or look away. and i was like...err...can i steal his sweets? and i actually did. felt bad afterwards...but i mean, he did go away ma......(actually just trying to console myself to not feel guilty. i know lar i'm evil!)

this was all i managed to loot...imagine how much he must have spent to get all this!!!!!!

F1!!!

2008-09-28T01:35:00.005+08:00

i finally watched F1 and it was good!!!
we were running around Suntec City, City Hall, Bugis, Esplanade...
after nearly 30 minutes of running, we found a really good spot. in Meritus Mandarin. we were at the stairway and there were wooden blocks...but we put out our cameras in front of the blocks...

so we were satisfied with these flashes of lights. aiyah. don't complain cannot see the cars because my camera is phone camera and only 2mp ok...

we also tried taking some pictures but do you know how difficult it is to actually take even 1 car?!?! i took exactly (wait let me count) 57 photos. and only...5 of it has a car in it!!!
this is how the car looks like...

anyways..after that, we had McDonalds and talked for awhile. then, we found it too difficult to leave and continued scouting around that area.

and wtf....we were super duper lucky because we ended up LESS THAN 1 METRE AWAY FROM THE CARS OK!!!!!!

it was seriously damn good...sigh...F1 is damn interesting........

my morning view

2008-09-26T01:02:00.001+08:00

this is what i saw one morning when i looked out my window...

the thing i don't get is...why some ppl so stupid? you already know it's flooded then drive into the water and get stuck there.........

**sheng got confused this part... so, this is on the same day but it was late at night at work. NOT from outside my window...

tried watching F1 from 29th floor but the view was so bad!!!

after work, met up with 4 chee for dinner at karaoke room in recreation club. we sang Bohemian Rhapsody...what else is new lar i know...so anyways...after that, about 9.15pm? we walked to clarke quay/boat quay...(can somebody please tell me the difference between these 2? still trying to differentiate them) and and...we tried to watch F1. sadly, we only heard the sounds. but it was still damn good! it was like...your heart just went with the car and you're just quiet listening to it. it was damn good!

see my lousy view where the car is shorter than the cement block...so i couldn't even see anything!

spot the difference!

2008-09-15T00:53:00.000+08:00

this is my room before i moved in....

this is my room after i moved in....

which is nicer? ok lar...i know i'm very messy....don't comment better. hahahahaha

friends outing in lau pa sat...

2008-09-04T02:39:00.002+08:00

rufina, kelly, kee huey lynn, elaine tam and i met up on thursday night...

we had dinner at lau pa sat and we had super far stretched plans...

visit to night safari, outing at sentosa, even holidays together in batam and stuffs...

i have no idea where rufina dug this up from....but she's damn resourceful lar...
i didn't even remember all these ppl with me during kindergarten! the only people that i remember was rafidah and cheong may fong. and i don't even recall which is them. it's so small lar...she even remember some of the guys names lor...i cannot remember anyone anymore.

diana goh, renuthangam, eunice goh, janice tan, shin roey, rufina, yee xing, siti aisyah, farish kaur, mei sean, xiao wen and shu sian - i know all these people later in life but i don't remember being with them in kindergarten!!!

how come my memory so lousy one...

err..guess which is me? the most jeng one lar!!! seriously...damn shy ok!

anyways..we need more of these kinds of photos so that another 20 years later, i can remember who's who. hahaha. eh serious lar. can you all please make an effort to meet a not? it's damn nice one...even though we have not met for so many years..hmm maybe i should say it's because we have not met for so many years, we should all just meet up
=)

Tan side family dinner!

2008-08-29T19:30:00.000+08:00

as usual...i have non existent eyes....

was supposed to go collect ah kim's shoes but forgot all about it...sorry!!!!

dinner was in thai restaurant at purvis street. yingthai. the food was good. really nice. eventhough i didn't know what i was putting into my mouth. hahaha. but it wasn't like scary food or anything like that lar...i think i ate yam though. and it tasted good.

packing is physically draining...

2008-08-29T08:30:00.000+08:00

especially when you never realised how much junk you had before!!!

i seriously hate packing. i don't know why. maybe it's because i'm a neat person by nature and looking at junk makes me giddy. eh i'm serious ok. i actually get giddy. and i get like very confused and irritated when i see so many things....

sigh...why am i so weird ah...

ah em's 60th!

2008-07-26T01:05:00.003+08:00

went back to malacca to celebrate ah em's birthday...i have no pictures though as my camera...well...let's just say it sort of died lar...it's still alive but the picture quality is like really crap...
anyways...

we got her a camera! it was a...ok i forgot what it was. but anyways...we got her that.
hope she's happy
=)

i nearly ran out of work clothes...
so i was sleeping on a saturday morning when bindiya sms-ed me.."where are you?"
i replied "malacca" and went back to sleep. about 12, i called her....
"oi! where are you lar?!"
"malacca"
"bloody hell then didn't ask me out"
"you said you not in malacca!!!"
-.-"

hahaha
anyways...met her and jillian and i bought 3 tops!!! err...ok i'm cheapskate lar..they cost less than RM80 in total...

Gurkha Camp

2008-07-19T00:30:00.003+08:00

how many people can actually go into this restricted area?

the highly secured area where guards will shoot trespassers?

i'm glad i did!!! it was a totally different world in there. it was like...staying in a private apartment. except...security was so good, NO ONE locks their doors. they have their own kuil, stadium, swimming pool, mini market, etc. you name it, they have it.

after that amazing and unforgettable journey, we went to pluck some flowers by the roadside (cheapskate lar i know!!) and visited my mother

=)

my guild members in maple had an outing again. it's been almost a year that i last saw them. although they speak mandarin, and i take sometime to understand, it's very fun to meet up with them as they are all so funny and friendly.

plus the girls are hot and sexy!

interviews and such

2008-07-08T14:36:00.000+08:00

ok...i don't know if this is an optimistic or pessimistic attitude but i tend to think this way...

i always think about the best case scenario and the worst case scenario, and then prepare myself for the worst. so that if it's bad, i'll be sad of course, but not so bad. and if it's good, i'll be damn happy.

but anyways...i have been to 4 interviews in total. i failed 2 and i passed 2.

the 2 that i failed, happens to be SIA interviews. the first time i failed it, my sister said it's because of my face. ok lar. whatever. however, somebody said something that got me and eva damn pissed. and therefore, we were so.... 'em tai' i don't know what you say it...that we tried it again. but when we failed the second time, we were already prepared for it. and we didn't care bout it anymore. we sort of went again due to anger and revenge? something like that.

the 2 that i passed, i eventually turned them both down.

the first was with a textile factory, Siong Bee where my position to be was Admin/IT Assistant. the pay was $1.8k. It was located somewhere in Yishun and this was what happened...
1. filled in a form.
2. had to do some photoshop editing.
3. had to do basic html (linking).
4. met the girl interviewer - Shirleen (i liked her!) who asked me questions about the job and myself.
5. had to write a memo about change of work hours.
6. met the guy interviewer (IT side) who seemed really interested in me.

on the same day, at 2pm, i had to go down to siemens for another interview as an IT Helpdesk. the pay was also $1.8k. However, bigger company, nearer to home.
1. filled in application form.
2. had to do a test (Hardware & Networking based questions).
3. talked to HR - Samantha, about the job.
4. Christoph comes in to brief me about the company.
5. His female subordinate (forgot her name) came in and they started interviewing me.

same day, about 7pm, i got a call from Siong Bee while i was playing basketball with friends in school. They asked me if i could go down tomorrow for another round of interview - basically, just wanted to see all the work i did so far.

went down the next morning. waited nearly 30mins. made me pissed. hahaha. i know. very bad temper. especially when it comes to time. i hate waiting! he saw my programs and asked questions which were not related to my program. i just calmly told him that i had to do the project based on what the question paper needs and wants. and err...he had NO programming languages whatsoever on his computer. so irritating ok. i was waiting for a near 2 hours. Shirleen came in, talked to me about my S-Pass application. and offered me the job. i said i have to think about it. i really didn't like the guy's attitude plus i don't think he knows anything about programming. and i was thinking of how to reject them. about 3 hours later, they called to say, it's ok. don't have to worry about them anymore. happy happy.

on monday, i received an email from christoph saying i got the job. went down on wednesday to fill in S-Pass application. went for a medical check up. went back to malacca. and waited for the longest time for their call/email. i kept calling samantha but to no avail. finally, i managed to contact her and asked her how the progress was. she said, my pass got rejected. my uncle found out what job that was. he told me to reject it. he said...you'll be working in a call centre for a year?! no no. don't be so desperate. hahaha. ok. so, had to reject them.

and so, to this day, i'm jobless....

small or big eye?

2008-07-06T18:50:00.002+08:00

hahaha. which looks better on me?

it has begun...

2008-07-06T18:04:00.002+08:00

you know, it's always like that. once i miss a post that i want to post, i get lazy the next day because then, i have 2 things to post. and by the third day, i'll be even more lazy.

1 week later, i'll forget what i wanted to say........

hence the silence again..

i should learn to
1. not procrastinate.
2. forget the past. as in...once i didn't post that, just forget it and get on with the new post

otherwise, i would be even more....quiet
hahaha

this is really great

2008-06-25T01:17:00.002+08:00

After Michelle created the Facebook thingy, i also got in contact with Rufina and Sharon!

Knew Rufina in form 5 where we did monkey business together.

and Sharon, in standard 5, roughly the same time as Michelle. We used to be quite close. Then, the usual. Different class, different cliques. Went for BM tuition together in form 5 but we hardly spoke to each other.

Anyways...need to find who else is staying in Singapore.

malaccans in singapore

2008-06-24T22:32:00.001+08:00

finally met up with Michelle and Eunice. Ooi Kelly came along as well. Suntech City - Pasta Mania.

food was ok. but all that wasn't important. what was important was, these are friends that i haven't seen in 7 years! and although it was ONLY 7 years, during secondary school, we each lived our own lifes and sort of drifted apart. so, the last time we actually sat down to talk was...*gasp*...more than 10 years!

michelle was a good friend in standard 5. she studied engineering in NTU and has been in singapore for the past 4 years. she will be starting work next week doing sales in HP. she's staying in queenstown. (eh sorry for the information - scared i'll forget. my memory is very bad)

eunice, a good friend in form 1. she's the only one friend who forces me to study. when i sat beside her in form 1, i actually had pretty good grades. only As and Bs. then, i started mixing with michelle siew and lim ai nun - where we were planning the great getaway from our homes due to family problems. hahaha. of course, we never did escape. eunice has always been this patient and calm being that is super hardworking and smart. she looks the same and is the same person. love that about her. not saying that change is not good. but how many people do you know that has never changed? unique individual.
=)
so anyways, eunice has been studying here in NTU doing her PHD in microelectronics. see. really smart right. ever since day 1, she has been very supportive and optimistic. it was good being her friend. i enjoyed sitting beside her. sad to say, it didn't last very long. but anyways, that was the past. and now, we're in contact again.

and lastly, ooi kelly - sorry ya. always got your name the other way round. don't know much about her. only remembered she was my class prefect in form 5. usually, who will talk to the person whose duty is to watch over you? hahaha. anyways, really sorry if we gave you a hard time. found out that she stays really really near my sister's place. went back with her. and it was good talking with her. and sorry i forgot to take one on one photo with you. anyways, she's doing PR now in chinatown.

the thing about leaving school is this - you talk to people you never knew you would. and there are no more barriers about anything that stops you from being closer. i suppose, in a way, you learn to appreciate people more.

and last but not least, a group photo with the fountain. michelle is like...seriously damn vain but in such a cute way! eunice is still eunice and i like her a lot. heck, she even remembered my birthday after 13 years! and kelly is quite alright. should have taken the chance to know her better in form 5.

what's there not to love?

2008-06-24T11:41:00.002+08:00

so you might ask....what's so nice about bumming?

well, late nights, late mornings.
24/7 meals (hence the weight gain).
nothing to worry about.
can go out anytime and anywhere i want to.
no plans = no stress.
get to meet ppl you haven't seen for years = tonight will be going out with michelle, eunice and kelly.
you get to stay home and chat = bindiya, eva, zay, tai lo, amrit, etc.

p/s: we're officially leopards now. the outing with bin made our skin burn, peel and now, we have white spots. disgusting.

bummer...

2008-06-24T11:35:00.001+08:00

the day drew closer and closer. finally, the day arrived!!! YESTERDAY.

was supposed to reach harbourfront at 12. however, due to some conflicts and stuffs, only left home around 12.30 after a haircut. trim more like it. but she did take away like 3 inches of it. whatever lar. at least the brown split ends part is gone.

once there, decided to take the monorail instead because found out that it was the same price and much faster. walked all the way to siloso beach. finally reached about 2pm. queued up to register. the other alphabets had no queue. once it was my turn, told the girl that i wanted to register for my sister as well. she said why don't you wait for her? ok fine. decided to go to the toilet first.

came out, walked back there. sister already registered. wtf lar. anyways, register again. they gave me a pink tag O7. then, queued up for the free tattoo thingy. sadly, it was only body spray which lasts for 2 - 14 days. mine's already 60% gone. then, played a bit of beach volleyball - only we played beach soccer. there was the tug of war going on where 6 girls would be on one end and 3 bachelors on the other end. the girls won. damn power.

finally, they called everyone to go to their respective alphabets.

the arrangement of the alphabets itself was the longest procedure ever. luckily, we were in the shade. really pity those in the open.

finally got everyone to sit down in position. there were supposed to be 500 girls but only 420 turned up. O had not enough people and they changed the formation. we were divided into 2 groups instead. inner ring and outer ring.

and we were the only group who lied down. so nice! hahaha. i'm lazy lar...what do you expect.

then, they asked us to shout cleo and raised our hands...

we also played 2 games which was pass the sunblock and the wave thingy. we won the pass the sunblock game. because we cheated. we ended up throwing the sunblock.

spot us! hahaha. i didn't bring my camera and stole all these pictures from sites online.

the handsome and funny bachelor that my sister had hots for. hahahah. but the guy is quite cute lar. and his body is nice. =)

the gorgeous hosts with nice body. don't have their face. my sister said the guy was some famous guy. don't know who the girl was. and couldn't really see her face. but looked really pretty. and she's a good MC.

after all that, we collected the goodie bag. which was like really nice! so many things inside. so fun. let's see...shampoo, conditioner, food, keychains, perfumes, nail polish, lip gloss, discount vouchers, pads, sunblock, body lotion, sweets, etc.

then, went swimming since it was so hot. but the ground was really mushy and disgusting. didn't dare touch the floor. played volleyball again. fell asleep. ate our junk food. went to bathe.

and really sorry to that girl whose bottle i dropped. the shower was some open air thingy where there are like 8 showers. there was one free shower and i went there, had no where to put my bag. then, saw an opening at the top. put it there and dropped the water bottle of the girl beside me. it's the expensive kind that you must buy and not those that comes free with water. her friend saw it and like stared at me. so i went outside to want to help her take it. realised that it was covered with plants and trees. hmm well, i was told that if i can take the bottle, guys can watch girls shower. so, ran away to the other toilet which was like 25minutes walk away. especially with the crowd.

ok. seriously, what's with songs of the sea? do you know how long the queue was? it's like seriously the longest queue i've ever seen in my entire life. ok anyways, showered. took a bus/tram thingy went for a ride. then, went back to harborfront. had dinner at liang seah foodcourt. took the bus home.

overall, a really good and fun day.

shopping centres in singapore close early

2008-06-19T13:17:00.002+08:00

5 chee and i went for dinner. then, she said that she needed to buy shower curtains. ok. so went over. after that, we were like shopping for a bit. it was only 10? yeah. announcement came on. Dear customers, our shops are closing blah blah blah.

If i ever become a multi billionaire, i will build one that opens at 8pm and closes at 10am. when all the other shops are asleep.

to cater to working people, time wasters who live the owl lifestyle, and ppl who want free aircond when there's no electricity at their homes...
