Certain My Uncertainty!

2009-07-20T01:03:00.003+08:00

As the day progressed, my bordom level increased. I'd been stucked at home for more than half the Sunday! Because one third of the Sunday I was found, asleep refused to open up my eyes no matter how irritating mummy and brother were.

It's just a 4-room flat unit, how far can they be apart from each other. They talked as though we lived in a mansion or something. I was irritated but stayed ignorant.

Michael Jackson has been kinda so yesterday already, but mummy would be the first person to disagree with that. She has went to the extend that brother has to buy her Michael Jackson DVDs to soothe her crazy mind. *hahas*

Today, brother added one more to her collection again. Of course she's more than just glad to surpress her temptation to whine. *hahas* Her mp3 has already been loaded with MJ's!

Gosh I looked like I had to force her to take a picture. She is very MISCHIEVIOUS!!

Please don't buy CHERRY QQ, dad!

Worse Than Anything You Name It!

2009-07-19T16:12:00.006+08:00

Harry Potter? What the heck is the whole movie talking about? Okay, I'm not a Harry Potter fanatic in the first place, and the duration is simply too long! They were the major reasons why I'm whinning through. Never in a movie I'd dreaded to get outta the theatre and checking the time quite constantly.

Ron seriously has a weird face. I'd since concluded myself at the movie.
Doesn't any of you all think so?

Markus tried to snort with laughter but it was clear that he had no chance of doing that. The movie was so-not-funny! Mummy wasted $5 for each ticket but let's just put it that she'd paid for the goodies we're provided in the cinema. The popcorn was the only thing that was delightful.

Anyway, not that we went for a movie with mummy and brother, but her company had booked 2 theatres for their family day. But why Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince? *rolling eyes* -Harry Sucker And The Half Brain Prince-

Ultimately, mummy made us walked ALOT to the bus-stop. She needed medication for her 'itching' mouth but too bad, dissapointment. *hahas* She's always eating endlessly.

Stress Is Not Soluble In Water!

2009-07-17T17:53:00.004+08:00

My alarm was set 2:45am for just a little nap before I gets up and study. But I jumped outta bed at 7am and realised the light in my room was still on. The alarm practically didn't ring AT ALL, and I slept like a dead body. What about my test, holy shit!

I so didn't have the energy to make mysef focus on the notes that I kept dosing off on the bed. My brain says sleeping is the most important thing in life but my heart says, "Sleep some more you can start walking down to hell"!

I skipped a topic and went for the test this afternoon. I must say I thank god a thousand times that there was not a single question about GMP, Good Manufacturing Practices!

Quit talking about our FYP. It looked like the whole town was looking for us, hunting our names down. *omfg* What have we done yet?! Ermm.. Nothing actually.
We're wonking on fats reduction and substition in pastry puff, by the Polar Puff company. It means we are going to throw tonnes of pastry puff away!

Tell me who wanna get themselves sick of pastry, we can feed them well, promised.

It held me back when I could enjoy the sun in the gallons of water. Swimming.. YES swimming! I know our hair suck big time in the pool it made our faces look stupid.

Fridays is always so relaxing.. But this might be the last time I have a wide smile on my face in school.

I Just Wish To Know!

2009-07-15T20:33:00.006+08:00

This is an interesting piece of quote that I've came across. Perhaps it speaks the mind of people in the state of love-sickness.

Maybe I'm not afraid to find something new,
I'm afraid to lose something old.

Maybe I'm not afraid of heights,
I'm afraid of falling.

Maybe I'm not afraid of being alone,
I'm afraid of being vulnerable.

Maybe I'm not afraid of falling in love,
I'm afraid of falling out of love.

Maybe, just maybe I'm not afraid of looking,
I'm afraid of finding..

Because last time I found one thing,
I lost everything else.

What a cooling day today huh! It felt so nice tucking under the blanket when the next moment I know I had to kick it off my feet or else I would be super late for practical!

I was still very late anyway because there was a major jam at the PIE, like serious jam! The bus 185 had to drive the alternate way to the Clementi exit. Some people realised the mis-direction but some of them wasn't even aware.

Practicals and lesson, blah~ blah~ blah~ until 11:45am! *bell rings*

We went swimming right away after school! I simply love the chlorination-free pool in SP! It was peaceful AND relaxing before the canoe polo actionistas came and rippled the pool. I hadn't had enough of the sun yet larr damn!

Kelly was too afraid of their flying balls all around the pool so we had to leave before I have to carry an unconcious body. Gosh, I loo-ook forward to friday swimming session again! *whee*

I sat my heavy ass at Kelly's FYP laboratory and had to wait for her for lunch while she finishes her microbial incubation. I did helped her out anyway instead of pricing myself like a vase there like that: *hahas*

We had KFC for lunch. Ouuhh.. devilicious, but not entirely. I'm fats conscious and half the chicken thigh was fats! Major turn-off okay! Could KFC stop bringing in obese chicken? I bet the chicken had the size of an Ostrich.

Shaking off the fats!

2009-07-14T21:56:00.005+08:00

I got so agitated by all the work I've got to do I had to go and paint my nails. I know it sounds weird, but that's the first thing that came to my mind. *laughs*

Actually, I've got more reasons to get agitated at, all about my imperfections. *sigh*

It seems like it's our gym-day on tuesdays, happening in between classes during our long break. Sweat it out! I just love it, it loosen up the muscles. I did running around the stadium while they did it in the gym.

I totally felt like running down into the pool, like just submerge myself into the water. The sun seemed as if it's just 100 metres above my head, almost catching my hair on fire. And then I tried to sneak into the gym without registration and towel.

But I was caught in action.. I still used the equipment anyway!

Ms RoAnn decided upon her gracious heart to dismiss us earlier because everyone of us was like dosing off on the table while she's trying to show us some nutition video. Way too uninteresting please~!

And now that's where I am grumbling to myself at home. I don't like memory work!

Am I Smiling Or Frowning?

2009-07-13T19:42:00.004+08:00

My neglected bloggie, I've came back to you.
Hover under 'essentials' where the tagboard is.

I can't find the spirit back into the world of blogging when my schedule is loaded with assignments and reports to do! And I have been screwing up all the tests, misinterpreting the questions! Arghh~ screaming at myself.

There's always a word to describe Mondays, and that is 'SHIT'!

Preston was forced to be sent home being a member of a H1N1-affected family. If he didn't raise this up to Mrs Leong she wouldn't be panicky for herself. She was like, "Preston, please go home now. Be a good boy. You have 7 days of LOA, I'll see you next monday". He tried to make himself stay but it didn't work, Mrs Leong was too conscious about it.

Now I've been sneezing the hell outta me. Bloody heck, I sat in front of Preston this morning. Don't get me infected huh!

So is it really true that boardgame is for people who are bored? But it is definitely not for bored-people. Pictionary can get kinda fun when we turn it into Actionary. Some things are meant to draw, not act! *hahas* Okay I know my 'Broom' was stupid!

Guess I have a hard time searching for my motivation now. My mind is elsewhere, everywhere but not being where it supposed to be.

☼ Battling our stomach @ Kuishin-Bo!

2009-06-25T00:30:00.004+08:00

I got back my camera in its same old condition eventually. That was a complete waste of my time, energy, and effort. And yeah I had to travel all the way down TWICE, not to forget that!

I took bus down from Vivo City to Suntec City and met up with brother, before cousin Lin and cousin Jie joined us shortly.
I've added another little buddy into my Nici family! Currently 4 members now ranging from different sizes.

We had already reserved our seats at 7:45pm but all our stomachs had made us lose patience.

We started our first dish as an appetiser - the sashimi. Ultimately, we 'sweeped' the load of sashimi they had at the counter, *hahas*!That was only the first attempt. We had 4 attempts like that in total.SHIOK~!!

Half of the battle done! But still keep going for more!I didn't even have the time for more shots, imagine that!I think I'd been trying too hard to make the buffet worth its price. 2 hours for ladies night, MAKE FULL USE!

And my final combo of dessert, with the lack of donuts and eclaire!There's an absent of dorayaki and their moshi and their cheesecake and their puff as well.

I don't know if the ice cream is to be allowed with the chocolate fondue but I don't care I just love to do it.I want my bananas dipped in thick chocolate *hahas*!

Excluding the 3 guys - my brother, cousin Jie and Eugene, they're my 2 dear lady cousins!We never had a dinner like this before. Sure planning for more, *smiles*!

I was known as the lady in the name of miso - the miso lady. Well.. Reason being I had been sipping on the miso soup ever since I sat down.
"Miso soup is nice wat! Who dare not agree with me! With lots of wakame and spring onion!*hahas*!"

Cousin Lin was known as the suction lady. She can suck on the leg of the snow crab you thought the espresso milk bubble maker is right beside you. Just imagine how loud she could go.

Laughing is seriously not allowed in buffet, like seriously and absolutely!
Next time if I'm ever going for a buffet again, I'll make sure I'm with some geeky fellow, who has jokes that I couldn't find myself laughing at no matter how hard I try (and no matter how hard they try).

Uhh.. Come to think of it, I think I would rather laugh my ass off than to sit with a table of silence that I think I'll be the only person laughing at my own joke if I crack any, because they can't understand what's going on in my crazy mind. That would make me look so stupid.

CRAP!! Pardon me for awhile.

6 person - 3 ladies and 3 guys.
Price for ladies - $29.90++ at Ladies Night
Price for guys - $35.90++
Balance for each person upon total bill - $35 estimated

I sat in a rollercoaster ride back home, how cool is that.
But practically Eugene was a furious driver. He speeded up to 130km/h on the espressway just because a pimped car showed of his engine beside Eugene's. So the car was like 'vrooming' behind us at the speed of 130km/h, *crazy*! Eugene purposely sneak into the passing cars, changing lanes and overtaking them.
He had his car pimped as well with powerful engines, obviously it made the car regret his provokation.
It all ended beacause we had to exit the expressway and go home after all.
Dangerous, dangerous, very dangerous.

Psst.. I did not spend a single cent for the buffet, *giggles*!

☼ Spend Time Wisely!

2009-06-23T23:31:00.005+08:00

Changing the camera plastic cover costs $41?! This is hilariously crazy! I thought it is covered by warrantee?! Ohh I'm definitely not gonna pay for it when I collect my camera. This is simply ridiculous, little did I know how poorly Canon customers are treated.

I shall use my most 'annoying' attitude and argue my way through tomorrow, which never succeeded I suppose, *sigh*!
I have poor charisma, that is.

I've been staying in almost the entire day and I think I wasted alot of time wandering my mind to nowhere. I can't waste any more of my days of age 19 doing nothing that would create exciting history in my life.

Waiting for boyfriend seems like decades (opps.. not a confession), *hahas*.
But knowing that I've downloaded a complete 'empty' movie is certainly a frustration! I spent like hours waiting for the green bar to fill the meter in my download list, and all I got was "playback error".
If I could carry the sofa with my bare hands, it would fly directly at the laptop.

We drove to Bukit Batok Botak Jones for dinner, and there we went - into the world of ourselves, *smiles*.

I was clicking away in my folders and I found this!
I think I'm so gonna get killed, *LOL*. I made it the smallest already.

☼ Out Of Pictures!

2009-06-22T01:24:00.000+08:00

I practically have nothing to do the whole of today.
Little peeps went to East Coast Park and only did I saw their messages in the late afternoon, *laughs*! Reson being, I did not charge my phone from last night, *LOL*!

Okay, so I decided to go service my camera at Harbour Front, dragging brother along.
No more photo shots for.. I don't know how long they gonna take to change just the cover. All my stickers on it would be gone, *sad*.

Since we're there already, it's a waste not to go shop around for nothing.
I bought a basic tee at Forever 21 (like as usual), but still love it, *smiles*. I wanted more colours and more tank tops in my wardrobe please! They're clothes that don't go out of fashion.

And then it's time for dinner!
"Suanling, you called me too late larr. we're already sitted down in Carl's Junior."

The greatest thing happened right there.
A whole bunch of Design students (those who went Dalian together) walked pass us and waved at me. Goodness gracious me, I bet they gonna think the guy sitted before me (brother) must be my boyfriend.
I wish I could scream and declare he's my brother at that moment in time!

I had been complaining about all the places he had suggested. We left the place because I was simply too fussy for good, *smiles*.

Carls Junior?
"I just ate with Kelly that day lorr!"

Ramenten?
"I'm so sick of Japanese and Korean food already larr! Wednesday gonna eat the buffet again. NO."

Okay, Burger King?
"Nice meh.. Like don't know what to eat."

What else?! No Long John Silver please for god sake.
He pulled me in to Pizza Hut and we got settled down. Alright not too bad, at least I miss the taste of pizza!

We ordered the lovers combo (like as if it's true), with the Hut's Platter add-on.
I thought he was going to split the bill when it stated $40+, but he ripped out his card and a voice whispered in my head "uhh thank god!", *laughs*!

"But wednesday kuishin-bo more expensive lehh. Can pay again nots?"

☼ Water Festival @ Marina Barage!

2009-06-21T23:53:00.016+08:00

If anyone were to ask: "Excuse me.. Do you know how to get to the Marina Barage?"

I would give a useful reply: "Yeah.. From City Hall Interchange, walk to the Singapore Flyer and observe the Marina Barage across the river. You'll notice it seems like a swimming distance away, but too bad because you'll see a 'No Swimming' sign if you turn your head right. Walk back to City Hall Interchange again and train down to Marina Bay. From there you can take a free shuttle bus to Marina Barage. I hope my useful information can get you there within 2 hours, *wink*!"

That was basically how Kelly and I figured out the 'shortest route'. Smart ehh!! But not quite, because we could have been smarter *zzz*.
"Ehh.. Don't laugh horr. At least we got there in the end okay!"

Come on, say it's cute! Afterall it's Spongebob everyone loves!We got a baby tattoo.Let's just say it's our complimentary for walking all the way to Singapore Flyer.

My curly hair makes my hair looks messy!I'm still the ultimate chocolate like ever, but not when I'm standing with Suanling, anymore!

Blah~ Blah~ Blah~ at the Water Festival organised by Singapore Polytechnic. The sun was like barberqueing our skin! I'm having tanned lines already.

We left Marina Barage and returned back to City Hall Intercharge (for the 3rd time today). And then we decided to have our lunch at.. *thinking* What's that name again? A Japanese restuarant beside Billy Bombers, Marina Square.

I look like I have really broad shoulders here, *emo*.Seriously, I couldn't finish that twin set - 2 bowls of rice and noodle, whatever their names are.

What's next in our 'To Do' list right after lunch?
Shopping of course! This is a complete bullshit question to ask when it comes to girls. Even window shopping is good enough to burn calories we'd just gained from lunch. We took a stroll at Suntec City for awhile.

He is whom I've adopted home today, my new little buddy, *smiles*!He's a cotton-y sheep but he disguises himself in a wolf sweater.

Call him Jolly! What a funny name but it's given to him, written on his birth certificate.Jolly Mah

I so wanna add another member to my NICI family.
I hope they still have the other Jolly Wolf in store on Wednesday!

Cousins and everyone at great auntie's house made me go down to her place and have dinner when I took a first step into my home. Their honored invitation made me drag my zombie body there in my liveless soul.

My rascal niece never ever fails to make me wanna tie her down. I couldn't stand her hyperactivity I swear! Perhaps she's better off my nephew.

Childhood talks are always the live of the mood, because we would dig into our darkest little kiddy habits. Our mothers would reveal them, and we would be busy denying. RIGHT?!
We laughed so hard at ourselves (and my niece laughed together when she doesn't has a clue at what we're saying).

Wednesday will be our Cousins Day! Kuishin-bo~ here we come!! *awaits*
"Gorr.. Can you treat me this time again nots?"

☼ Overseas @ Johor Bahru!

2009-06-14T00:01:00.000+08:00

I went overseas again, *hahas*! Nowhere far but just Johor, Malaysia. Declaring a major broke here, can't afford anymore shopping. I have been spending tremendously last week! The Creative Zen alone took hundreds away from me. I could have spent much more on an itouch, *hahas*, nearly!

Goodness! Malaysia is like steamer, it forces perspiration out of your body. Like as hot as a sexy lady! We arrived at Malaysia and took a cab down to some other shopping mall. I'm so addicted to bargain (like a top hobby of an auntie). Thanks to China, a learning place to bargain like we're experienced.

Suanling and I in the cab on a 16RM trip to Jusco shopping mall. Where's the fun without any photos!

The high-end shopping mall was certainly beyond our standard, we could hardly buy anything within our budget. We decided to just dined in at Fishmarket. It's much cheaper there on the menu, even after doing a currency converting.

All the 7 of us hitting the streets of Johor.

Their Ocean Catch and my Creamy Seafood Pasta, *yummy*!!

We got our Dunkin donuts, and a diluted coffee that comes in a combo.
I think we captured a shutter shot. Is it a ghost behind or am I seeing things, *LOL*.

Wow haunted supermarket, feels abit eerie there. They kinda look alike with my friends, *hmm*.

That's it, we're done with our groceries shopping trip, actually there's more. I've got my Cadbury hot chocolate *smiles*.

We made our way back to City Square, where the custom is, after realising we'd made a huge mistake to have dropped by there. City Sqaure had so much affordable stuff, but still China is cheaper, really. Arhh.. I regretted not making my lagguage 35kg In Dalian, *hahas*. A similar tee I saw was sold in retail price 30RMB in China and they sell RM39.90 in Malaysia. It's like literally 'What The Fuck'! One is S$6.50 and the other is S$16.60, see the huge difference?! It could have be cheaper in China if it's buying online.

They are 2 twins and and an odd guy, *hahas*. CHAO zhiCHAO.. ehh enough larr, *hahas*.
Scarlet brand shades, *laughs* (inside joke).

And we all have something in common, *smiles*!

Most of us bought shoes, yup that included me! I love the 'sneakers' but I wonder when will I start wearing it. Cause' my habit is, I buy and keep and then forget all about it. Guess what, I have one mountain of new clothes, 4 pairs of flip flops, and a pair of sandals UNWORN!! Now with a new pair of shoes to my unworn collection, *LOL*. I await the online stuff to reach me, and that would be even more! Call me a crazy girl.

We had our dinner at Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe, it made me wanna scream "CHEAP"!! Let's organise our next visit, get our passports chopped and chill the hell outta us at City Square again! We can just catch a movie and eat at Kim Gary again. It would be cool.

Okay, and so we had a durian feast at a void deck yesterday night. Weixin picked them and we enjoyed them, but half infested with worms! *laughs*!

He brought everything that's needed, fully eqiuped for the durian feast: Chopper, newspaper, gloves, and most importantly 7 rotten but sweet durian!!

Like a potential durian opener, at the void deck, with the butcher's chopper, *hahas*.

We travelled all the way down to Expo solely just for the lame registration of the 2010 Youth Olyumpic Games. It wasted lots of our priceless precious time starring at each other at the Coffee Bean waiting, and then got to know that we'd been cheated in the end. Why couldn't they just make everything straight, done, and settled? That I couldn't understand.

Suntec City certainly was having lots of promotion events going on at its convention halls. We went to NUM and the PC Show, where I couldn't decided between itouch and some other brands, which in the end I got a Creative Zen. I guess it was a bit of a mistake I've made, *cries*.

☼ Ride On Him!

2009-06-12T23:29:00.005+08:00

I took a ride on Markus's driving awhile ago in the evening. Comments or compliments? *Hahas* ehh I don't expect much from a new driver, it' just that I put my life at stake, *LOL*. Wow geting way too much eh! I wanted to capture his nervous-but-calm look but i brought an empty camera, *(-.-)*. Dumb as ever as can be.

After we dropped his boss and mates off, we went into the midst of the roads. Like as if 2 foreigners trying to find their way back. We ate at West Coast, Ayer Rajah hawker before we were forced to tour (as in twirl) all around, *hahas*. Noob brains tried to figure their way out, and it took us 45 minutes from there to my home, *smiles*. What an accomplishment, *hahas*!

If it's not all these twirling and swirling in the car, I would have been rotting my ass off at home. Assignments!! I don't wanna think about it, *frowns*. I've got undone things that's loaded at the back of my mind. How can I ever get them cleared once and for all, and never to think about them anymore?

There's no random photos today. It would be hard for me to pick, cause' I would be picking them all in the end, *hahas*. Okay maybe just one here:

I'm a pocky girl, in the pocky world. Life's so pocky, it's so pocky.
*LOL* I love the pocky in China, they rock!!
Cheese-centered, Banana & milk coated, Hazelnut cream-centered, Tiramisu-centered, Strawberry & milk coated, Strawberry-centered, Chocolate coated, Red wine Chocolate coated, Double chocolate coated, Dark chocolate-centered.

The flavours are unfinished. There's way more flavours than what I bought! I still demand for more!!

☼ Sweat Like A Pig!

2009-06-11T16:32:00.008+08:00

I have been away from the world of blogging for.. exactly a month! It's all in the fault of China's internet security for they resisted the access of Blogger 31 days ago! And I don't know what is wrong with my laptop wireless, everything went hay-wired. I can't complete my assignments and I'm helpless in the SP Blackboard. But why am I online now? I'm on boyfriend's territory, *chuckles*.

He is suppose to study! And I don't know what can I do other than blogging. I kinda miss the weather in Dalian. Just by sitting here letting my fingers run on the keyboard, I'm already getting 'sticky' all over. It can really get frustrating, *frowns*. I want the freezing cold wind to mess up my hair again!

I was with Markus for the rest of the afternoon before I kicked him goodbye, *hahas*, always a distracted man. Intended to hit the PC Show to get a mico memory stick but I was kinda too late. Who in the right mind would go to a PC Show at 9pm? Well, I would, *hahas*. Uncle John insisted to get me a 8GB memory stick which I do not know what I can do with it. I don't think I've got so much things to load.

Cousin Lin got her new laptop and we dined in at a Japanese Restaurant. I still can't get rid of 'sticky' rice, but japanese rice tasted so much better than what they served in Dalian. I miss sashimi, tempura, miso soup, eel fish, teriyaki, *whoo*!! They're goddess!

Some random photos of Beijing Olyumpic "Bird Nest" Stadium.
It was a raining day that day, and it suck big time!

Never waste time while waiting for them to get our entrance tickets. Right below the stadium!

Derrick is always up to his Taiwan style when he sees me, all because of the mass dance we did last performance, *rolling eyes*.

And this is the inside of the 'Bird Nest', big and cool. It's open for vistors and there you can find cam-whores everywhere, like us!I think I look like some kind of Egyptian art on the wall.

Yup, we love Beijing! Actually.. more of Dalian, *hahas*. Feet off the ground, people!

☼ Shopping Is Addicting!

2009-05-10T23:05:00.000+08:00

We had a major shopaholic outbreak this weekend, especially for Mutton and I, the ultimate freaks, *laughs*! We would declare a serious bankruptcy if we don't find the bank soon.

We went to the same underground shopping mall on both days, but yet we did not managed to walk the entire mall. It was simply huge! Cash flown out like lakes, *cries*!

The breaking-apart kinda bus, with weird kinda seats. The photo should have shown how our legs had to stay.

We had KFC for lunch. Mine was fish burger set meal, which costed 26RMB, with the supreme latte topped with vanilla ice cream, *shiok*!

The Sheng Li Guang Chang shopping mall, 3 levels underground. And that's the shoes section.

And this is the accessories section. They sell pretty korean accessories, but very bargain-able, and thus madness-cheap!

That marked the end of our shopping trip, all the way from the school, in an chilly rainy day, with such little clothing on us. We were practically the headlights in the shopping mall, because no locals would wear such short pants in freezing days except us.

We had barberque meat for dinner at some barberque restaurant. 19.30RMB for each person, that was outrageous! And that inclusive of snow beer. We probably could eat nothing in Singapore with this amount of money!

That is pork meat (kinda like bacon) I'm holding, and we had different kinds of beef slices from fatty to lean.

Most lovable dish to me, the pregnant fish! This is heavenly gorgeous!

2 levels of barberque trays, and different levels of cooked meat.

That night, we were their last customers which they had a very hard time serving us. That was due to communication tension, and the quality of fusiness girls have naturally. Nevertheless, they contributed high standards of customer service. Their company's staff transport actually offered to send us back to hostel at their own costs. That was never a service we could find in Singapore!

Mutton and I went back to the shopping mall today. I thought this bag is really cool and cute! It has several ways to carry it, designed to suit whichever style you like. It can even split into half, be a waist pouch, sling pouch, or a shoulder pouch. I like the colours anyway!

Mutton and her cute salesguy. She requested a photo with him, *hahas*.

And that is the cap I bought at the same shop above, taken in Jiahui's room. I love luminous colours lately, *whoo*~!!

☼ Escape To Alcoholic!

2009-05-08T15:47:00.016+08:00

I love lazing around and do nothing, simply just like this makes my heart smooth.

Friday is always the best day of all the weekdays. Because for us, there's no lessons scheduled the entire day! And field trip was only planned for half a day. It was a visit to another food factory, not as far as the previous company.

They have stricter hygiene practices, and we had to spend 30 minutes just to disinfect ourselves from head to toe. Not even a single strand of hair could be exposed. We went through alot more stages of standatisation as compared to the previous visit.

Look at how ugly this can be, with the potential market slipper and the plastic bag with boots in it, and combination of socks, *faints*! Only just going up the lobby we have to start changing into their slippers.

After the visit, we had a dinner arranged by the agent at a seafood restuarant. Their seafood was like *whoa* but non were catered to us, *laughs*! I must really admit the dishes served today were double-better than the one we had last week. Though they didn't really tasted heavenly, but some of the dishes were nice ☺!

Best loved dishes: Guo tie, mushrooms, and deep fried semi-pregnant fish!

Trying to imitate the fishes we ate. Don't they look like this, *hahas*.

Assignments kill my brain! My mind couldn't help but wandering elsewhere. I couldn't sit still and get my assignments completed. Assignments restrict 80% my freedom! A sudden adrenaline gush made me felt like getting the alcohol on. Called Derrick up and we decided to get some beer. But god damn it, the hostel was locked already! We became desperate for exits and nearly attempted to climbing off the windows, *LOL*. And we were kinda caught by the guardian of the hostel, ohh man!

We shall hit the pubs soon one fine day!

Ohh and I would never ever forget this incident that happened just a few hours ago. I nearly got killed by the huge FUCKING truck!! It's either I'm killed or I'll be handicap for the rest of my life. FUCK the truck. FUCK the brainless driver. FUCK this place!!

So what exactly happened? We were buying fruits at a roadside fruits stall beside the school back gate. It was a narrow road, and yet the truck that came from nowhere tried to squeeze its way through the half-opened gate. He would have bloody warned us, but he never did. He drove behind us and both of us were literally stuck between the crates in front and the truck behind. Seriously, there was no way out. I'm not kidding any moment right now. The crates and the truck were already in contact with my body, brushing against me!! I tried to shift away but the truck ain't stopping, it came nearer behind my back!! The wheel nearly went over my foot and I was nearly squashed larr. The height of the wheel has half of my body length, can you imagine how big was that? I screamed loud when I felt the wheels brushing behind my heels, I thought I was going to die. It gave Mutton a damn shock and we were in such a great risk. My scream must had made the people skipped a heartbeat. I'm glad I'm still in a piece.

FUCK the truck!! Faggot driver!! Chau ni ma de~!!

☼ Cheated Hair-Makeover!

2009-05-07T22:49:00.005+08:00

I bite Kraft chocolate waffle sticks. 4RMB, CHEAP~!!

I wanna volumise my hair!! But it doesn't cost any cheaper you know. Anyhow, we were being cheated into a salon for a hair-makeover, as according to the promoters. Well.. a professional haircut for 30RMB, I'm on it. But that didn't mark the end of payment yet. We were rather forced to pay a deposit of another 20RMB for their useless card, valid for the next visit! What kinda service was that?!

The guys there were like some kind of freaking despo hungry for girls. Lucky I'm tanned which most of the locals don't fancy, *phew*! But still they talk to us like starrring into our faces, so close up I felt like pushing them away, *gross*! What's so amusing about Singaporeans, like they have never seen before (maybe that's the fact).

And so I had a so called hair-makeover. They always like to ask alot of questions about us and they tend to speak too fast I couldn't understand part of them. There's this one thing she said to me, that it will be a good thing to be apart from your patner for 2 months after a relatioship that is 6 months old. This is when both parties start to realise one another's qualities of absence. *Hmm*..

I was left without a single cent before returning back to hostel. I'm poor like the matchstick girl. And I'm lost in thoughts and emotions! *Sigh* Is it worth the frown when everything could be pictured into something beautiful. If only I have the ability to foresee.

What weird poses Jiahui suggested. Time eliminating back in their room while we were waiting for the talk later in the afternoon.

I won't want another talk like this anymore. I couldn't stand the boredom it brought us and why in this world are we involved in this?!

Banana Pie!! Finally the another form of goreng pisang their McDonald's has got to offer. It tasted really good if it's smoking hot, especially for a banana lover like me!

☼ Holy Shit Bowl!

2009-05-06T15:59:00.005+08:00

Whoo~!! Our toilet bowl has been safed, just in a split second by the professional plumber! It had been stucked and choked for 3 insanity days! But.. what's with all those brown layout at the sides. This is still as gross.

And this is our very own, kind enough, inexperienced plumber. Ohh goodness, look at how disgusting it was before it has been safed. This was mind-tearing, hair-standing, sick-in-the-stomach kinda gross, you probably don't even wanna swallow the saliva.

But anyhow, thanks Derrick for his kindness to give a helping hand, and to be concerned about our toilet bowl. If not it would have been stuck forever, *hahas*. Though it's cleared now, it still doesn't seem usable to us, *sigh*!

Everyone's turning sick. It all started with the stomach. We accompanied Shiyun to the school's clinic this morning during our lesson time. Amazingly, and I'm saying AMAZINGLY, they do not have a registration counter. Okay, maybe that's not very amazing. But what's more, they do not have proper consultation rooms. Moreover, the doctor looked unskilled. Her table has no clinical instruments, nothing medically related, but just magezines, *zzz*.

Everything is done manually, like measuring the temperature. She measured with the traditional method, you know, like mummy always do that kinda thing? *hahas* All she made was just her own assumptions. And she didn't intend to prescribe any medicine initially just beacuse we have our own. Only when we asked for it, it's like what the heck?!

There was no consultation fee that is, something to soothe our feelings. I'm gonna die during the quiz tomorrow!! My eyes are closing I can't study anymore!! But I have to larr!!

☼ Stomach Upset!

2009-05-03T20:07:00.005+08:00

JIAQI had a little hat. I was asked to act cute, and there it went the super cute style, *LOL*!!

I miss Singapore public toilet please~!! I miss them big time!! I miss them more than I miss Markus!! (Ohh no, *=X*, I shouldn't have said that!) Their toilets are like literally 'Ohh My Holy God'!! I declare I couldn't stand it no more!

Let alone the overwhelming smell, they have no locks, and their cubicle doors can be seen through. I went in the the toilet and I swear it wasn't on purpose (I was way disgusted already anyway). I seen through the door and anyone could see clearly this girl who was squarting facing the door. Damn, it's an instant turn off, because it would be much better if all you could see was 2 'mooncakes', *hahas*.

I think I would kiss the toilet if I ever find a toilet like Singapore. I miss my country larr!! I would always refrain myself from drinking too much water, but I really need to hydrate myself! How come all these felt like torturing? *cries*

I'm having major sickness in the stomach, that suck again. This is like never ending thing for me. I couldn't have peace in shopping. But come to think of it, I could resist myself from spending, *smiles*.

Alrighty, since no pictures had been captured today, I shall post up some random pictures over the last 2 weeks.

Why is that Bangala doing what I'm doing? Don't copy me lehh!

Act as if it's really moving only.

*HAHA* This is the best photo taken! All I wanted was only to take a vintage photo with that lamp post. Then Derrick came in and acted like some crazy guy. (Where got people delibrately throw money on the floor.) Preston came in and Derrick became the potential begger (the face funny).

The ultimate traditional street stall. Immersing into their world.

This was taken at Beijing airport, while we were transiting to Dalian. Mutton and I supposed to me the main characters!!

I found a new way of wearing SP jacket. When I drink I do silly things like this. Mrs Ku said cannot let the principal see this, *hahas*!

☼ God Damn Feeling!

2009-05-01T10:13:00.001+08:00

I lost appetite for the entire day and that suck!! I felt the sickness in my stomach and it was overwhelming! But I gotta bear through the entire trip somehow, and that made me and unhappy girl.

Our first place of interest was the beach at the corner of Dalian. That was also where the Disney theme park was! The breeze was way too cooling, it's cold for god's sake!

Any idea what these are? Jiahui the ballarina, *hahas*.

Our second destination was the women police training area. It's only specialised for women police for riding horses because policemen drive cars in Dalian (I do not know how true was that).

This is the cross-animal of a lion and a dog. That looks like a bear to be with limited vision, *hahas*. I wonder does it bark or roar.

The female horse, which the guys had a long discussion about it's private part. What's the fancy about it?! The horse smelt my arms!

This is HUMONGOUS!! Ohh my god, the horse is alone and he's erected. He is such a despo no wonder he's left alone in a stable!

The thrid destination was to the towel where we could have the bird's eye view at the little of Dalian. I wasn't really enjoying up there though. First because of the irritating sickness, and then it seriously wasn't that mesmerizing as I thought it would be.

And that's the last place we went for today, a nothing-to-buy shopping mall. I love their chocolate ice cream cone from McDonald's. Why doesn't Singapore have it anymore!

We came back to the hostel about 7pm to 8pm and I feel dead straight away! It was a hard day for my to walk around carrying the sickening feeling. It was a burden and it definitely made me wanna puke. I slept for 12 hours straight to the next morning.

☼ Ultimate Fireworks Shots!

2009-04-30T20:55:00.011+08:00

The weather is hot and cold. It felt like fine Singapore in the noon, but icy cold again in the night. We had lessons in the morning, and field trip to Singapore associated food company after lunch.

Lady Bird!! Never seen one before!! It's showing it's ass.

It died because the little kid squeeze it too hard while he was trying to pick it up.

It was a 50 minutes journey. The food company practice strict hygiene factors, greatly differ from what we have in Singapore. We were all told to go through 4 stages before officially entering the food factory.

1st: Wearing oversized lab coat, hair cover, face mask, and rubber boots.
2nd: Wash our hands with soap.
3rd: walk across the 'river' (seriously an area where they filled water above the ankle) to standidise the rubber boots.
4nd: Breast scan (*LOL*) and sticking up dust on the lab coat.

Do they even have such strict hygiene regulations in Singapore?! According to all the attachment students, we should know their internal culture, *hahas*.

4 of us walked out of the gigantic school and wandered on the streets to settle dinner. Kind of a wild thing to do in a foreign country. We came to their wet market, or was it their 'pasar malem'. None of their food was nice, except their Beijing roasted duck, shiok!!

He has wonderful painting skills. We were admiring his work of art from outside the window panel.

Mrs Ser and her hot sexy leopard pyjamas. She's all thrilled when we started taking picture, *hahas*!

This is what we were asked to watch outside the hostel in the middle of the night. Derrick and Preston lauched the 5 boxes of fire crackers and claimed the celebration of labour day! Singapore can never have that!

☼ Barberque @ Roadside!

2009-04-28T15:28:00.000+08:00

It's freaking not my day today!! First I got stains on my white pants, great thanks to Preston for his holy hands! I'm having a hard time trying to remove them, arghh~!! He got burnt by the orange gravy anyway but I don't care, my pants is way worthy!

Second, my camera fell and hit the ground, double arghh~!! It all happened in the same cursed eating house! The lid where the batteries were now are semi-opened. And what if my warranty only lasted 3 months? By the time I'm back it would be over. SHIT!!

It simply ruined my mood totally, despite it had already been ruined from all the assignments we have. Both my love items were damaged, *cries*!!

In the evening we had barberque for dinner! But first take a look at the condition of the pit. It was an instant laugh to me as I saw them catching fire on the charcoal. I was like, "What?! Here?! Like this?!", *hahas*!

Preston, the organiser behind the plan. He said we can never try doing this in Singapore, along the roadside of the school. And when whoever looked at us when they walked by, there he went "Kua si mi lan jiao!" (see what penis!). Super vulgar, but non understands, *LOL*!

Unhygenic pieces of meat! We had lamb stick (shiok), chicken stick, and sausages! 11RMB for each person.

I took really few photos today, all beacuse of the broken mood I had this afternoon. I got really disheartened when I ripped out my camara and saw the untight lid, *sigh*!

Throughout the night, we were like crazy troop of Singaporean monkeys. It's like everyone knew about us almost entirely in the school. It sure leave a deep reminiscency for them. Preston even lauched the fire crackers in the middle of the road, *-.-*!

Now, we had to delay our assignment a day backward again.

☼ Splurging Endlessly!

2009-04-27T16:28:00.000+08:00

This was my lunch. A big plate of curry chicken rice. I couldn't finish it.

Back to lessons on the first day of the week. It's just another day of work like any other day in Singapore, except that the weather was still cold. The glaring sun shone strongly down at Dalian, for the first time we experienced warmth in the cold breeze. We love the sun!

After lunch, every SP students were asked to attend their briefing on the library cards that we recieved (it bloody cost 200RMB, but refundable). The presentation slides was computer operated it literally hypnotised me. I slept throughout the monotaneous talk, *smiles*. After the useless briefing yet another 'talk cock' lesson (as named by the guys) conducted by the local lecturer.

We went to play badminton upon the fine weather after lessons. Suddenly today it seemed like it was the badminton festival. There were pairs of players along most of the streets. It felt really great to get worked out in the cold weather! The wore shorts like aliens on the streets, seriously, *hahas*.

Supposed to have BBQ in the evening for dinner but the guys had yet to order the food. It was then postponed to tomorrow! We decided to carry on our street food heritage!

Nice fried chicken shreds, fried bananas, and fried pumpkins! But gross milky fried stuff.

I spent 100RMB for just today, wow!! That included the super cheap hoodie I'd bought, hydrating moisturiser for my chapped skin, loads of groceries, and fattening junk food! We were back in the hostel working on the assignments loaded. My connection was down again as usual, *frowns*.

Monkey loves liping's great banana infected by a big fat grey bacteria.

☼ Sakura Cherry Blossom!

2009-04-26T20:42:00.009+08:00

Sunday was all planned out for us. And that was visting the Cherry Blossom attraction. It was a 75 minutes bus ride, I couldn't help but falling asleep in the bus. The road was very bumpy but that didn't bother me. All I was uncomfortable of was the ultimate spaceless bus that we had to endure throughout the trip!

The oily yet tasty breakfast we had this morning on the squeezy bus.

This was what the whole trip was all about today. The white Sakura Cherry Blossom. Feels like it had just snowed.

I love this very photo taken by me, *LOL*! I didn't think this would look superb.

My hair suck in here. The balding forehead. Blame the wind!

We were tempted by the candy floss but I think it tasted kinda weird.

The cropped size of the great wall of China.

At the other side of the great wall ies the beautiful side of nature.

We were trying to take a picture with this baby chubby cheeks but he kept running away. He even cover my face with his windmill, *(-.-)*!

Imagine if we won this at their funfair, I think we need to get a air ticket for it.

That was the second sausages we've bought. I swear it taste nice!

The last shot before we headed back to the spaceless bus. Goodbye cherry blossom!

I guessed every passenger slept throughout the bus ride back to school. It took another 75 minutes on the bumpy road before we could get our ass off. The rest of the day was spent in the hostel, sorting out our clothes for washing, eating spicy cup noodles, buying tidbits back to our dorm, and snuggling under the blankets.

Tomorrow will be the start of the second week. 800RMB, where have you been?! 300RMB was for deposit.

☼ Get Lost In Dalian!

2009-04-25T23:51:00.006+08:00

They video-ed my embarrassing ass while I was trying to snatch the confiscated laptop! I shouldn't upload it for my own sake, *hahas*. I've stolen Fengxian's monkey in exchange of our stolen seaweed and Lays!

It's saturday today, free and easy, *smiles*. I woke up at 12:30pm, looking fresh after the 11 hours of sleep! I had been dreaming about Singapore for the past few days. I think I miss Singapore real bad though China is enjoying.

The wind was freaking strong this afternoon. According to the ahh yi downstairs, the level of wind was 6! I swear I never heard of howling wind in Singapore. I always thought this was a part in fairy tales. True enough, the wind howled loudly in Dalian, honestly. I even felt I was kinda carried away by the wind. The wind came from behind and I felt it pushing me forward as I walked. It was no joke.

Despite the tornado outdoor, we walked to the delicious foodstall (I don't know the name of the stall) and had a nice warming feast. Their xiao long bao was heavenly!! And 4 of us shared the shange hai yun tun mian & shang hai zha jiang mian!

In the evening we took the public transport and head down town, their so called 'Orchard Road' in Dalian. Credits to Preston and Derrick for bringing us around like as if Dalian is our home town. I knew nuts about anything here but they seemed to know everything!

They call it BRT (Bus Rapid Transit). Fengxian, you didn't tell me the pole is blocking! My face is important, *hahas*! I have no idea what the guys are posing.

This is one of the street stalls. Chicken sticks submerged in oil but it taste nice!

The building of IT gadgets. One of the shopping malls we passed by.

We took.. What is that called? The electical land transport, something like that kinda bus which does not require a driver. And I'm looking more like them with the 2 pony tails!

The passengers were starring at the attention seeking Derrick. Might be wondering what the hell he's babbling about.

We were on our way to our destination when we came across this neglected piece of streets. Even their towns are not clean.

Behind me is the Parkland, the mall like Paragon in Singapore. That was where Derrick bought his Evisu jeans for S$500. He is a freaking rich guy! He worn it, pay, and walk off with his new jeans.

The guys accompanied the girls to their so called 'Far East Plaza' underground after the crazy guy-shopping. I was tempted to a hoodie but I did not get it anyway. I shall be back one day again to have a good solid shopping anyway. Time was racing us for abit just now.

We had McDonald's for dinner and I ordered the spicy chicken thighs burger meal. Nice, *smiles*! That was 22RMB.

The hardcore smoker and hardcore drinker. Derrick and Preston.

The locals here could spit anywhere they wanted. Even in McDonald's, we see them doing this. But when Derrick tried to do the same thing, he was scolded by the staff, *laughs*. Not all Chinese we came across were nice. But we met some really nice people no Singaporeans will ever do that.

Since there was no public transport operating (9pm last bus), we were forced to take a cab back. And since cab was 24 hours operating, the guys decided to get ourselves lost in town. We walked anywhere we desired, no goals in mind.

Late night KTV. Looks cool from the outside huh, like some clubbing house or something.

This is where the place we can see in Wikipedia, under the page of Dalian. The lighted ball and the Intercontinental Hotel.

Grabbing the ball is easy. We can do anything we like with this! From holding the ball to kicking the ball.

Finally a photo of us, the wild Singaporean kids on the streets wandering. We insisted to have the ball taken the second shot.

Continued roaming the streets and that is where we were all amazed. The Egyptian salon of the grandest of all.

Look how royal this is. The hairstylists are lining up side by side to the seats waiting for the customers. A haircut only costed 20RMB!! What cheap rates they have!

The pharoah and the potential China girl, Dalianer, *laughs*.

We flagged a cab home from there for 40RMB. How daring we had been to go on the streets without a local. We are Food Technologists, not some geeky Designers, *smiles*.

2009-04-24T21:27:00.000+08:00

☼ Food Heritage!

2009-04-21T15:11:00.000+08:00

Today supposed to be our first official lesson which we would have to report at our hostel lobby 8:30am sharp. Mutton and I was not in time to catch a bite of breakfast in the canteen though. Well it was alright cause' the food in the canteen sucks big time anyway.

I'm with that pair of sport shoes that made me look so like them! My Converse was all drenched larr, *hahas*!

Look how thick Mutton wore! Extra thick layering of clothes and gloves!

We walked up and down the slopes to the 'main' building of the entire school. The rain had stopped last night and the weather was cloudy in the morning. The strong breezy wind made our faces all chilled and fingers numbed. It was no joke! We wore layer and layer of clothes like some noob candidates that looked so bumpy. We are Singaporeans anyway!

These are some roads along the street of our hostel where we have to walk everyday.

Our lesson was all about wireless network and local connection (this is not in our module by the way) . Finally, like after 2 long freezing days of detachment with the world, we achieved the internet connection. But the classroom was short of power sockets to adapt everyone's laptop! That was pathetic. First lesson ended after the intense struggling to get connected. Before that we were made to walk all the way back in the cold streets to our hostel just to pick up our laptops!!

It was a 20 minutes walk to the little eating house during the lunch hours. I had 'hong shao' beef la mian while the rest had some other beef noodles. We didn't really like the taste of their dishes, and that was the first halal store we've seen in Dalian. 1 hour of lunch break became 2 solid hours, *hahas*! Our lunch was on Mrs Ser, *smiles*!

Walk this way to the eating place right at the back. This is still in school.

The meat was little, and the noodle didn't taste nice at all! But the soup was good.

Even in the stuffy room, we still had our layers on. It felt kinda cosy though!

And we saw this really oversized bread in their bakery store. Look at the cream!! You probably might have gained another 10 ponds by finishing that!

Back in the warmth-filled classroom, we had a short briefing on our lesson schedules and e-learning. The last lesson was GEMS, combining with the Design students. It was all about Dalian, I couldn't pay anymore attention towards the end of the lesson and decided to text my China buddy. I was so much interested in where to get my bangs rebonded at the cheapest rate!

The lecturer from China, Dalian Polytechnic University. He would be taking us on our GEMS module.

This was a mistake. I hit the zoom button unnoticely, *hehes*.

It was taken in the middl of the lesson. Nobody knew it, *smiles*.

And this is the ally of the classrooms at the 5th floor.

Back in the hostel where it will always be the most chaotic place that can be. Apparently they started a food-stealing contest, going over to each other dorms and grabbing any food they can find. This was the best time to rip out the camera and keep snapping away like some irritating reporters will do.

Peering outside my hostel room window it looks like that. This building is the Library.

I slept with this monkey every night. It suffer a broken nose when I rescue him outta the luggage. He was squashed pretty badly.

Do not hate me cause I climbed onto your bed, *frowns*.

Love me because I'm your room mate, *LOL*!

This is what I was talking about. Their food war along the ally of our rooms.

We met my China buddy at the lobby and she brought us to the school's salon. She's nice to have walked us there when she's busy with her project and stuff, most importantly it was far from where she live! We had our fringe rebonded at 20RMB. Now I think I look like any other girls in Dalian. Oh gosh, I'm adapting to them!

After the pretty much makeover, we took a stroll along their little food streets. Some of the Design students were shocked to see me mushroom-headed, *hahas*!
Some finger food were nice but some tasted like crap! Not all suited our Singaporean taste buds! And I must say their strawberries are awesome!!

Pretty strawberries!! Ranging from papa strawberries to baby strawberries!

This ugly fruit looked cute the way it is, *hahas*!

Beside the hostel, we witnessed the sunset!

Guess who are we. We all looked the same didn't we?

They have nice bites. It's an flavouredn eggy cake something smilar to waffle! Actually the sales person got shocked by the flash light, she said (behind).

As commented, this is a mini baseball bat rather than a corn. For the taste, I do not know, cause' I hate CORN!!

Ohh god I look like the potential student in their school. I mean physically!

All the finger food along the streets would be our dinner for today. We had a little tea talk at Jiahui's room before we went to bed. It was more of a crappy talk I would say.

That was the chicken rice they bought. Not eaten at all cause' the weather completely chilled the food in 15 minutes.

Not nice larr can Jiahui please throw that away?

*Wahahaha*, I see myself I wanna break into laughter.

This zombie was found dead on the bed so we decided to roll her up.

Look what a dead body she was!

What a fine day we had! No sweat, no frustrations, no tears, not stress at all!!

For this entire trip I would look different, *whahaha*! At least this is China, million miles away from home! I don't care about how funny I would be. People may stare at my dark skin tone like it's something foreign in their country. This is me, *smiles*. I'm gonna get my hair highlight!!

2009-04-21T11:09:00.004+08:00

I'm finally connected to the internet and today has already been the 3rd day in Dalian. I shall rewind back in time to day one virtually in my blog! This may guide me on my bi-weekly journal that we have to submit, *zzz*!

Check in time was 7:30am. I woke up at 5:30am to get my stuff packed and for all. Changi Airport, row 10, was loaded with hell lots of people. Well they were all our friends and family anyway, from each of the 70 students.

Terminal 1. My first and last hug before the departure, *frowns*.

After check in, preparing for a group shot outside the departure hall. This is the humid Singapore!!

2009-04-16T10:56:00.003+08:00

My time is so tight right now. There are so many things that I wanna do but time is putting me on hold. Only if sleeping is negiotiable, I could have gotten everything done. But that's something only happens in heaven-land.

It's the last 3rd day of attachment, and we were still slacking in the room like ever. We are to prepare our powerpoint slides for this coming final presentation, and I'm in charge of those gross vegetables.

Uhh huh, as gross as it can be. Leave the vegie unchilled for 7 days and it became kimchi instantly.
I swear it smelt like poo with thousand of flies above it. Your stomach wouldn't feel okay.

After work I went to Jurong Point and met up with Sufang. I was so glad I went home before that to find what mummy left for me before she went to work. Currency rate increase!! Whoo~ but it doesn't shoot up. Seemed like Minyi was wrong and Markus was right, *hehes*.

☼ Decent Pubbing!

2009-04-12T14:33:00.000+08:00

This is my April meet out with Huifen and Sufang, hapenning in Clark Quay. Since Huifen had been back from Dublin, and before I'm leaving for Dalian, this is the best opportunity for a chill out. But it's definitely not the best time to splurge. Ohh god shower me with cash please!! I need a dollar bath!! Fill my wallet with a row of valid credit cards!!

The Central was boring~! Limited shops with uninteresting stuff. We settled at Starbucks cafe and updated ourselves on Huifen's sparkling life at Ireland. Lots of inside stories still left unshared huh? Amazing 20 years old, *hahas*! Anyway thanks for your Zara basic tank top and lots of chocolates, *loves*!!

We went searching for suitable pubs along Boat Quay and there we went, Brewerkz, an American pub. It was empty at the time we entered, but the sky was already falling.

1 jar of Organic Pilsner, estimated $32, what an explosion in the pocket! It tasted weird though, *frowns*.

Huifen's Seafood Spaghetti, $19.99
Sufang's Prawn Pasta, $19.99
My Creamy Mushroom Rice with Crispy Bacon, $18.99

Alright, before we even started a sip, we looked perfectly ordinary. Except for my partial burnt skin that looked so contrasting.

Self-timing is absolutely not recommanded. Actually we had chilled chrysantheman tea-tarik, no doubt *hahas* ☺.

I've just concluded. Huifen's face is round shape that fits nicely with the bowl.

Ohh yeah, the pastas really did filled up our stomachs. Damn I look so cooked.

Done eating and half glasses down, how do we look now? I felt like I was burning in flames inside.

We talked, we laughed loudly, we smiled, we teased, but we did not cry.

Lousy drinkers hit the pub? Ohh dear that was the biggest mistake we'd done. I confess I was the lousiest amongst!

Opps sorry, I used the wrong mood in the camera. Background unseen.

The westener offered to make a quick shot for us, *loves*!! How come I so short?!

When the night has fallen and the city is lighted, this is when we come out and mingle ☺.

Huifen and her signature pose. We have red red sotong balls on our cheeks.

We left the place and headed to Bugis for the second round of window shopping. With that it marked the end of our day. The next meet out would only be happening in June, *awaits*. Happy fast forward birthday for Huifen!! I totally enjoyed the dinner we had. CHEERS~!!

☼ My Home Drift!

2009-04-11T01:02:00.001+08:00

I can't seem to get detached from SP. Even on a saturday afternoon I have to be back for the briefing. We were told about what would be happening and what we will be going through in China. I'm gonna say it's not cool at all, honestly. We recieved a SP jacket and 2 tees (again), stacks of lecture notes, and of course our passport!

I went for a sizzling hot swim this morning and felt totally great about it, minus the overloading swimmers in the pool. However I had to get myself outta water before I got real late for the briefing, which was a major spoiler.

Anyhow, Markus and I went home after my briefing. Well, I thought of heading down to Jurong Point and hit the money changer, but the thought was disrupted. We ended up staying home and mummy cooked for the first time in 2009!

While mummy was getting her hands on all the dishes, Markus had a little taste of Initial D, on a home-fix drift on the wobbly setup, *hahas*. Trying very hard to stay in control eh. My distraction was of no use.

My pig trotter fits in the picture just the right place. There was too much self-praising and self-obession and also self-admiration, *LOL*!

After the super late dinner we all had, mummy wanted a mahjong session. Cool, I haven't been touching the tiles since chinese new year! I think Markus must have started suspecting how crazy my family can be. Surprise to see how we 'disobey' my mum, *laughs*!

He was invited to stay over though but sadly he has a competition going on tomorrow! We sent Markus off the bus and had a late night supper.Today was havoc-ating, *hehes*.

☼ Influenza Vaccination!

2009-04-09T13:30:00.006+08:00

I've realised MMSP had caused a drastic downfall in all our results. I knew we had really bad results, and that was all because of the poor attendence we couldn't turn up for many lessons. Lagged behind in lectures meant going down to hell. I remembered I had to skipped quite a few lab practicals and that totally affected my grades, *shakes head*.

It's the 3rd day of the course today. I've lost count on how many times I'd yawned. That was about it, the entire day at work. In fact, there was no work at all anyway.

We travelled down to Choa Chu Kang, Lot 1, in the evening. At that point of time I was still hesitating whether to take the Influenza vaccination at Fengxian's work place clinic. I mean not because I'm afraid of injection, but very much because of the cost, *hahas*. Well, I decided to claim it from dad in the end. The needle looked scary, however it felt alright.

It so happened that Markus reached Bukit Panjang Plaza in time with us. We met up for awhile, and I really mean just awhile, *LOL*!

That's one of my little cute retarded monster I have in my Dragon Quest Monster game. I gave it the name Slimer.

☼ Cold Chain Management Course!

2009-04-06T21:39:00.004+08:00

I just had a sinful dinner with brother and his good friend at KFC. No more junk food for me, at least for a month I would feel healthy in my mind. Ohh god seriously I feel fat! But I'm not suffering from anorexia or whichever mental disorder.

10 more days in attachment and we're done for god's sake. Get a grade and no more Martyn, *LOL*! We had alot to say about him to our supervisor, Mr Ting. He had taken note of our reviews and would do some adjustments on our grades. Give us a nice alphabet please!

We will be attending the course on Cold Chain Management (Vegetables) but without a certification awarded to us. Well, attachment students couldn't expect much though. We have freedom of speech, but no freedom of choice. We were only asked to sit in and listen throughout the course, with other cooperating chain masters from different companies.

3-and-a-half days of full day course, I'm back to the non-stop temptation of dosing off on the table and seat. Yawning again is irresistable.

☼ Birthday @ Botanic Garden!

2009-04-05T22:24:00.000+08:00

What's up today? I was invited for a birthday party surprise made for Fauziana as determined by her boyfriend. It was held at the botanic garden. Of course we had to get a present for her before we had the cheek to show pressence. Manveer, Tim, and I got her the Body Shop gift pack.

Okay, I must say my entire day was wrenched by nature calls. Though I admit it was kinda boring over there but her friends were fun talking with. They teased Tim for his whole drain inspection thing in his attachment. And they had all the different gay stories behind the whole NUM company. And wow, trannies are the scariest species on earth I suppose.

Fauziana had a sweet surprise which her boyfriend made up all the ideas to get her friends invited. So she was brought to the botanic gardens, see loads of pink flower patels sprinkle on the ground that led a long way to us. There were balloons all lined up with a lighted birthday cake and heaps of food. It was more than we could consume.

With that, it took my entire day away. I felt old there, but no one could tell, *hehes*!

☼ Love Today!

2009-04-03T22:19:00.004+08:00

I woke up at 4am this morning. It's 4am in the morning when the hen's husband was not even up to wake the world!! When the sun was still at the other side of the earth!! When my dream was still half covered! I had to get up and be ready by 5am despite all these facts.

I sat at the bus-stop waiting for a dark green car to pick me up. I realised I seemed like a freak to the passerby, they were practically starring like I was somehow outta my mind. They might be thinking who in the right mind would sit at the bus-stop waiting for buses 5am in the morning. So I gave the 'stare-what-stare' look back at them.

What's his name again? Mr Aneil or something weird. He has a heavy Indian accend, at first I couldn't help but to hold back my giggle. He called Martyn, Mutton, *LOL*!! Was it unnoticably or intentionally we do not know, but it was honestly hilarious! And he had spent quite a gallon of petrol trying to pick us up and finding Indoguna at Senoko.

If anyone were to take picture of the car, you would see 3 dead bodies at the back. Wendy was the only one entertaining the driver all the way back to SP, while we had a nice nap throughout the journey. I was glad that I sat at the back, *smiles*.

It was the slackiest day ever in all the days of attachment. We sat at MacDonald's for 2 hours straight chit-chatted alot just among the 4 of us. The hours slipped by and soon it was 2:30pm, which was kinda like an automatic alarm to us. Knock -off time!!

I think I have fallen in love with luminous colours. Whee~ brand new bunch of collection in the wardrobe. I've gotten a bright pink tank top this afternoon at Forever21. I wanted more~!!

I have fat cheeks, fat face, and a sharp chin. Another one of my random picture!

☼ Medical Certification!

2009-04-02T10:55:00.000+08:00

Believe or not, it was my first time consulting a doctor in a Polyclinic. I didn't know how the queue was like. I was pratically a noob patient in that building. I joined the wrong queue and I had to re-queue all over again from the back. So it took me 2 hours to get that darn innocent sheet of MC approved.

Ohh yeah, I was on MC for today and tomorrow, how nice is that! I thought my fever had gone down but the doctor reassured me that I was still having a slight fever. The drowsiness cause in the medicine really did occured to me, I went unconscious on my bed.

Well.. Nothing I could really talk about today, not even work stuff that I was always found complaining on a typical weekday. Now I've fulfilled my wish of being a couch potato this vacation. Though I have another day of MC tomorrow, I've decided to turn up anyway.

I love random pictures. Emo fringe, and quirky smile, *hahas*!

☼ Dead Girl On Roam!

2009-04-01T19:57:00.000+08:00

I got up from the bed like a dead woman. I knew I had to be present at work even if it means dragging my feet. We were supposed to be surveying the distribution wholesale centres at Pasir Panjang this morning but it was cancelled. It could be a good thing though, I was like dragging a half dead body in school.

As soon as I heard Justin saying "Okay you'll help me do the Osmometer", my heart sank totally deep to the toes. That's an ultra-super-duper boring thing anyone would want to do! It goes like that:

1st - Place a very small piece of filter paper disc on the sensor.
2nd - Use the micropipette to place a drop of sample on the filter paper.
3rd - Push in the sensor and switch it to 'close'.
4th - Wait for 80 seconds for the Osmometer to determine the 'I-don't-know-what' value.
5th - Repeat the whole procedure 5 times for each samples.

That was extreme craziness! There were 5 samples, orange, apple, pineapple, calamaji, and mango juices. That's 25 times already. And the whole calibration thing, I did it like 10 times 3, which was 30 times. And altogether it's 55 times, *zzz*!

By 3pm I felt that I was dying. Again due to that annoying flu yesterday, I've developed sore throat. My temperature went up, graciously I was able to bring myself home. Take care people! No one would like a bug to have our body as their home. Well, the flu bug has been greeting me since yesterday.
