Shoe Shopping

This afternoon I woke up at about 1pm after some chiong-ing of Heroes Season 3 last night... my first thought asked me that I should get myself a new shoes for the upcoming CNY... so I quickly sms the brothers to see if anyone keen to go shoe shopping with me... but in the end.. none was free in the afternoon...

When I about to think that I'll just go do the shopping myself, Patrick called me and say if I want to meet him after his bike lessons later.. Then I faster go prepare and off I go....

The first place I went was the S&K in Lucky Plaza.. bcoz previously I went there with zhutou, desmond and kiat... and I saw a shoes over there very nice... and cheap too... coz the whole shop offering 50% discount!! But I couldnt find the same pair that I saw that day... so regretted that I didnt buy that time... Patrick also found a nice jacket at a affordable price... but dont have his size already... so we both leave the shop in disappointment... >.<

After that, we went to Peninsular Plaza which also have nice and cheap shoes over there... visited most of the stores.. and i found one red strip addidas shoes in one of the shop selling at only $49... that was cheap!~ but then dun have my size too... sianz... So Patrick say wanted to visit the S&K shop in Tamp Mall de... and so we went.. this time by cab which cost me $15 to reach there... we were too tired by then and dozed off in the cab till we reached... but then the same thingy... got the jacket but dun have his size... too bad for him and me too...

But after that when Patrick went for his haircut in JeanYip... I went to shop for my shoes again blindlessly... I stepped in the Converse shop and slowly browse through the shoes they displaying there... BINGO!~ I saw one that has red strips and black background... nice.. and is only $59.90... within my budget... and so after I got my size right... i didnt think twice and just bought it...
Here is the pics of it:

Dinner with Poly Friends

It was another last minute gathering with the poly mates... I often do such kind of last minutes gathering to whoever is free... so this time i was msn-ing Siying at about 2 or 3 plus in the afternoon and was chatting how to settle dinner... and I suggested to eat together and plus the rest of the groups... so at the end of it... we had 7 ppl joining for the lunch...

We met up at 6:30pm in Tamp and initially Siying wanted to eat Ding Tai Feng... but Vivian didnt want to eat that and we finally settled at Sakae Sushi @ Century Square.. and we queued till 8pm before we get our seats... super hungry by then and we quickly grab the sushi to eat... lolx... we chatted alot in the restaurant... from studies to works.. to credit cards and to methods of saving $$... Siying & Lionel had did alot of researches on the best ways on saving $$... no wonder they makes such a good couple... lolx...

I took some pix of them... actually is for my contacts in the iPhone... but I'll post it here.. just in case one day I kana memory lost... at least I can refer back to here.... haha.. .choyeee... touchwood touchwood...

Bangkok Trip (18 Dec - 21 Dec)

It was actually quite a rush decision for the Bangkok trip with Abi, Kiat and Zhutou.. and we quickly go reserve the air tickets and the hotel room from one of the agency in Peninsular Plaza... Total we were chraged $480 just for the trip only... but we manage to secure a 3-4 star hotel for 4 days 3 nights and the SwissAir airline that transit at Bangkok... SwissAir airline is not a budget airline and Kiat told me that budget airline is actually more uncomfortable than this...

Day 1 (18 Dec 2008)
It was on a thursday and most of us are working on that day... I actually packed my bag the night before and just need to put all my necessories only... so on that day... we went back home individually and agreed to meet up in Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 7.30pm and no one allowed to be late.... and very nice that everyone is on time and take turns to check-in at the counters....
There we are inside the SwissAir plane being the 'male' models for iPhone... that was only the 2nd day that I bought it... so i didnt really update the version correctly... that day abi still laugh at me for not updating the version... Zzzz..

The plane ride was only less than 2 hours and I didnt manage to finish my movie "Hell Boy 2" yet and the movie was paused for landing... sianz.. luckily Kiat got those movies and will send it to be once we go back to Singapore...
I think it was about 11plus in the night when we reached Bangkok's airport... Zhutou was the first to be cleared from the custom and I was the 2nd... and luckily i was the second.. coz i manage to catch zhutou walking towards to the wrong direction... All of them got the wrong idea to get their lagguage at Gate 6 where it was damn far from the actual collection point... But still... we manage to get our bags and there go our frist experience in Bkk...

We met up with the agent who suppose to bring us to our hotel right outside the gate 6... and to our expectation... they really got Abi's name wrongly and written it as XUN YU... lolx... I noticed the helpless & disappointed face of her... but at least we found the agent... When we stepped out of the airport... the weather was quite cooling... but the air was really quite polluted and there was some smelly stench floating around... We quickly board the van that fetching us with 2 other visitors and it was about 3omins ride to our hotel named ECOTEL



Our room was just side by side which is 508 & 510... Me, Abi and Kiat shared room 510 while Zhutou and Wei Zhong (Zhutou's BF) shared room 508... It was already near 1am and we still need to go to the nearby 7-eleven to get chewing gums... bottled water.... shampoo and body foam...

By the time we went to bed and sleep.. it was about 2am and we got to wake up at 6plus in the morning to get ready for our shopping and exploration spree... poor abi who has to wake up earlier than both of us... It wasnt a very good night sleep as the air-con actually made some irritating noise which disturbed me and kiat... but not that abi who is so deeply in her sleep...


Day 2 (19 Dec 2008)
To be continued... ....

Monday TopOne KTV with A, C, H & W

It was another round of gathering with Fiesta gamings friends on Monday evening after work. This time round there is additional friend who named as 'A'...

Lolx... I'm also slightly confused with all the alphabets while typing this blog. To clarify that these alphabets are just a nickname for us to identify each other during the games... i was represented as alphabet 'B'... C is Colyn aka CalCal who is a professional healer in Fiesta.. W aka Whokie who is a powerful mage (same as me =pP)... H is HHZ aka Zhutou who is another pro healer.. and A is Whokie's sister who joined Fiesta when we are at very very high level... and in the Fiesta.. they are matching me (aka B) with A.. and always asked me to go assist her to up level fast...

Haha.. that is some small introduction with the gaming buddies... and we met up for some karaoke session... It was the first time that we meet up with 'A'... she looks quite similiar to her brother Whokie but look slightly more pleasant... and indeed.. her voice also very nice... haha.. I didnt manage to open up my voice that day.. so I actually sang quite poorly yesterday... hope I dun scare her away bah.. =ppp

We sang till quite late yesterday and actually reached home at about 12am... so damn tired and only manage to sleep at 1am... luckily I today got to go Bedok Exchange.. and i couldnt wake up until 8.30am... so damn late... hehe...

3G iPhone 8GB

At last, finally got my own iPhone today... it came slightly after i finished my blog this afternoon at about 4pm... i was so excited that it came and i quickly sign the delivery and open it up and play with it...
I wanted to get some accessories for my iPhone, I asked zhutou to acc me to buy. She agreed, but it must be a rush one as she need to attend grandma's bday dinner at home by 7pm.. And so when we reached Wheellocks' epicenter, I quickly choose one normal black skin and also the screen protector... but after that realise that the first skin doesnt fit the iPhone. The skin was actually meant for 2G iTouch which is much thinner in size. We were already on the way to the train station and no choice we had to head back to the epicentre and do a quick exchange, luckily it is still valid for exchange and at then.. i saw the nice red/black skin from Belkin with the price as:
a) iWorld iPhone 3G eFilm screen protector - $19.00
b) Belkin iPhone 3G Silicone slv w/le blk/red - $29.00



Project X - Finalizing

Finally I am finishing the last stage of Project X after one long night yesterday and abit amendment today... haha.. I should be slping last night and also working at this time de... haha.. but aiya... since finishing soon liao then just complete it lor...

But in order to complete, I will need Xiao Fang's help to check who is the cousin who decorated the chalet and also the photographer of that night... so now have to wait for Xf's good news tonight.

I intended to get a special DVD with specific theme (e.g. Marriage, etc) on the CD itself and wrap it up probably as a Christmas Gift for Xinyi & Peter... hope they will like it... ^_^

Anyway... now i am anxiously waiting for my iPhone to arrive... should be soon le.. the delivery time was suppose to be 2:30pm to 5:30pm... so.... WHERE IS MY IPHONE?

Adventure to Qian Hu Fish Farm


We were suppose to go to the Fish Farm at about 3:30pm after fetching Mimo to her church nearby, but Zhutou was stuck on her facebook again and didn't have the intention to leave. And so we drag and drag until about 5pm when we left Annie's place.


It was about 5:30pm when we reached the Fish Farm, and we only explored the whole farm for 15-20mins. Then we sat down near the LongKang fishing bench, taking pics and also watching those kids having their fun "scooping" those small fishes out. We were actually waiting for XiaoMei to reach before we went for our Fish Therapy.

XiaoMei reached at about 5:50pm and we quickly registered for the therapy sessions @ $10 for the first 30mins. But then XiaoXia did not joined us and we didnt know why.. is it becuase Mimo didnt join us? No ones know and we did not question him too much. But then since he didnt go into the water, he shall be our photographer... haha.. =pp



It was a very good experience on the Fish Therapy. It was kinda ticklish when the fish started to gather around our feet and start 'eating" our dead skin. I was not very used for this kind of ticklish and I actually keep kicking the fishes away, until about 5 minutes later... then I finally somehow got used to the ticklish feelings and slowly started to enjoy the sensations. We were actually discussing about our Bangkok trips, until we realise that there were so many fishes surrounding all our legs. XiaoMei also slowly got used to it and before that, she was kicking the fishes like nobody business... =pp


And after 15mins later, I suggested to go try for the "bigger sensations for bigger fishes".. lolx.. only Zhutou dare to put her whole feet down and I took quite a while to get used to it. You can actually feel the fishes mouth feeding on ur dead skin lor... and Schnappi in the end did not get used to it and went back to the smaller fishes enjoying his smaller sensation. We stayed there for quite long, and actually exceeded the 30mins, but we just sit there, thinking that someone will come and tell us to leave. But in the end, coz we have to go fetch Mimo in Choa Chu Kang, we left with our feet "cleaned".


At that time it was about 7pm already and all of us are very hungry. As planned, we went down to ChompChomp for dinner. Over there, we secured a 4 person seats but we have 6 ppl there, and we simply exchanged our seats with another group who has 3 ppl on a 6 person table. There, we ordered Stingrays, chicken wings, Hao(1) Qian(1), Satays and many many other foods, and of coz, not forgetting the "gigantic" cups of sugarcane. Zhutou only ordered 3 and those couples shared one and I shared with XiaoMei, but she didnt drink and eat much that day coz of gastric pain, perhaps just now too hungry and suddenly eat so much at a go.

XiaoMei blur blur go buy TigerBalm instead of 风油.. (-_-) and luckily she managed to exchange it at about the same price... We also went to the yougurt store to look for the super babe that was described by Kiat... but we were quite disappointed and my personal grades... 70% only due to her size and abit wierd lookings. still not that 100% perfect lor...

The time was still early and we went to the IceRoom to have some desserts. I ordered the chocolate m***** even though my stomach was filled to the rim already... and we stayed there for chitchats for an hour and so until it was too warm already to stay and we left

And end of the day, they still thinks that it was still early.. and someone mentioned to play mahjong... lolx.. and in the end we played for 2 rounds till 4am... Zzzz... tired.... totally drenched... Time to work abit on the Project X now... ^_^

House-Visiting to Annie's Place

It was ten in the Saturday morning, I got myself off the bed to wash up and get prepared to school. It was kind of tired only to know that I slept only at 2am last night. But today have to meet up with Zhutou and Mimo in school to register for our next semester course, so I cannot afford to be late. While brushing my teeth, I suddenly recalled I left Duncan's referral letter in the office. I suppose to help him to register for the next semester modules on his behalf, but need the letter as prove.

Thought for awhile, I realise my house got a printer and also email access to the SingTel's account, so I just login and also printed out the referral letter. Lucky me that I didn't archive to other folders in my lappy. So things are smooth all the way to school and also for the registerations. Zhutou, Mimo and Duncan decided to drop Leadership and Management for this semester, hinting me that I'll need to look for new project group for that modules.



After which, I joined they all to Annie's place in Jurong for house-visiting. Been quite long since I last seen Annie in the hospital when she gave birth to her 2nd baby girl, Rei-an. Annie was actually quite surprised to see me as she did not expect me, I'm always a surprise visitors. ^_^ We also shared a small gifts b/w 5 of us on $12 each for Chicken Essence and Bird Nests.


Rei-an actually grew quite alot from a tiny girl to a big one. Erm.. and actually I was not confident that I could carry her on my arms, but I did tired for awhile when she was asleep. I also did chat alot with Annie and updated her with lots of things happened in SingTel. Anyway she'll be back in Jan and soon I'll have a irritating neighbour again... should I feel happy or sad?

Fateful & unFateful Night

Let's talk about the "unFateful" night of mine... actually today I went home early... to ask daddy to go down to Hello! shop to get the 3G iPhone... then I suggested to go Comcentre as I expect the queue there to be lesser... but in the end we waited for abt 30mins even though we are the next in queue... dunno where goes wrong.. but I thought renewal contract should be faster?! >.<

okz.. that the first part... and when everything process finish... the salesperson asked to hold-on and she'll get the 3G 8GB iPhone out... and when I saw her carrying out the iPhone box out.. i was so excited... but the expression from the staff tells me otherwise.... and she straight away break out the bad news...

"Sorry, our last piece of 8GB has been taken. What I have here is 16GB, do you want? or if you have any phone to trade-in in order to drop the price?"

I thought for awhile... dun really feel like getting the 16GB de... so I just give it a go and went off in disappointment... then daddy say tml go to tamp outlets there see got anot lor... I'm anything.. and then off we go to the car... =(((

Then mum call up 2nd bro to check if he needs a ride home.. and he said yes.. so we have to go to ChinaTown to his office... He is working together with my eldest cousin in our generation... which is our "da jie" aka Swee Li Jie... hope i spell her name correctly... When reached there... I just thinking to drop-by her office and take a look... since I didnt went there before...

So when I went inside.. I saw 2nd bro... Swee Li Jie... and some of their colleagues.. and there is another lady named Irene was also there to discuss some Travel issues with swee li jie... and after being introduced.. then I know she was working in a Travel Agency... My first reaction was... wao lao... I was late for a day...

Last few days Xiaomei, Zhutou, Kiat and Me was discussing about travelling to Bintan or Bangkok... and just in the afternoon we confirmed on Bangkok with our initial deposits by Kiat to the agency (PINNACLE TRAVEL SERVICES PTE LTD) already... $480 for a 4D3N leaving on thursday evening 9:2opm and returning on Sunday evening @ 4:30pm... but I forget what Hotel already.. =ppp

Then this Irene was so nice.. and she chatted with me for the next 2 hrs (only realised when we stopped the conversation)... she started off telling me what's the do & don'ts when we reached Bangkok... and then slowly tell me where to shop and do what is nice... and in the end... she already draw up a ncie scheduled plans, enough for me to spent the 4 days there fruitfully~ lolx.. that's was what I meant by "Fateful" night... haha.. Thanks to Irene very much and I've macham travelled to Bangkok already... haha.. next time travel again confirm look for her... and she told me next time I travel again.. confirm will give me the best price and best schedules for me... ^_^... i do like to have a personalized agents... =ppp Just in case I forget or lost her details:

Boutique Holidays Pte Ltd
Irene Heng
(90054932)

And most importantly, as of the situation over in Thailand... they advised me to get a Travel insurance just in case the situation turns bad and I'm still able to get some $$ back... hmm.. would they still accept insurance requests to countries that are not stable yet? Just wait for my bro to recommend me bah... ^_^

Back home.. I tried to surf online.. and complaint abit on the "out-of-stock" iPhone to XiaoXia.. and he recommended me to order one online instead... and I did!! and I ordered it at $538 which is $30 cheaper due to promotion compared to buying directly from Hello! shops.... lolx.. and the delivery will be to my office on this coming Wednesday 2:30-5:30pm... can't wait for it to come!!!

Birthday Celebration for Joven

Erm.. it was only organised yesterday... quite last minute as I didnt really have time to plan for him.. I've tried my best to ask and luckily most of the guys can make it except Jinhao... then at the girls part... too last minute and none of them can make it...

So the troubles are going where and doing what... initially my plan was just to come over to my place to have a small mahjong... plus some gamblings and games as my house was empty... however, further dicussions with patrick... we decided to go for ktv... lolx.. then i suggested them to go TopOne Ktv as the environment there is nicer and cheaper... it is just $20++ rather than Kbox which cost more than that....

Next is the birthday cake.. we bought it a small cheese cake from Four Leaves inside Bugis Parco...




After the singing at about 6pm.. we didnt proceed to my place for party.. but rather we go to nearby for steamboat dinner... We settled down at 天天火锅 and eat till our stomach burst...

Standard Chartered Marathon Pack

It was a very shag day today... phew... I went down to Expo Hall 5 to collect my marathon pack... Today was the first day.. and I didnt expect alot of people there... but things always happened unexpectedly... On the way to the hall, I saw Eileen (my pri sch mates) walking passed me to the train station... we greeted each other.. and then she warned me that she queued for 45 mins...

Wah... then when i almost reached the hall 5.. i already see the long queue outside and i just queued... lolx.. and just nice it is the 42km queue... the outside queue was quite fast.. as they open up the way batch by batch into the inner queue...

The tough one is inside lor.. wao lao.. i saw dunno how many zigzags before reaching the counters... if not wrong... there are about 20 or more zigzags... lolx.. it was the first stage to go thru before running 42km... if cannot go thru this.. forget abt the run manz...

Finally... the last few turns are the fastest... then boom.. it's my turn... and i got my packs in a few minutes only... tough ones are actually those runners where they have to run around looking for the bags and especially the tags among 500,000 tags... good jobs to them... oh yah.. and then the counter girl told me that afternoon queue was even more longer.. where someone told her that he waited for 2 hours... so my 1 hours queueing was nothing... ^_^

Took some pics of the goodies they have inside:

Typical Marathon Bag

My running number, but not use.. i'm not going to run this time... (^_^)

The running attire... kaoz.. still the same as last year.. why cant they innovate abit more?
New stuff.. but handband from Audi.. isnt them a manufacturer of car??

Leftlets.. Guides... Supplements.. and Deep Heating Rub... typical stuffs from such events.


And damn unlucky... wanted to get myself one Subway Bread but when i reached the store... it was closed!~ haiz.. then no choice.. just endure the hunger and go home on the way to eat le...

Then it was a buffet with max of about 40 different dishes which include abalone and shark fins soup.. but each dishes can only order once.. but there is more than enough for us to eat... on that day, Qi booked for 2 tables for 14 persons... I sat on the tables with the girls... coz I know BeeKhim and AiFang... So the pic below was the feast that we had on that day... I think my table only manage to complete about 20plus dishes... but another table actually cleared more than 30 dishes... lolx...

Brotherhood pics.. although there is someone I didnt really like inside... but then... here it is:

and of coz the couples shot... but too bad the bday boy dun have a gf... neither XiaoFang nor AiFang wanted to be a temporary although we pyscho one of them to be in the pics... but none agreed... so lonely bday boy with the 3 couples... (*When will I get my share inside? =< )

After the meal... those that got events went off and then the rest all meet up at Tamp Mall to catch a movie... If not wrong.. it should be the Chihuahua movie we watched on that day... and although quite full on that day... but I still get myself a cup of cupcorns to eat inside... my fav leh... didnt eat for quite sometime le... but next time I shall ask that person not to put any salt inside.. kinda sick when eating the salty part... and the movie was fun...

We ended our day after a cool chillout at the Starbucks and I drank my fav Java Chip... got a nice chat with the rest.. and slowly proceed our way back home individually......

Consecutive 4 days of Mahjong

Last week was a very tough week... have been playing mahjong for 4 days... plus the basketball on saturday morning really tire me out.. My first game started on Thursday evening after the bowling competition with Ericsson, Kiat didnt have enough "legs" to play and he jioed me... And that Zhutou last minute didnt come... or else she can backup me... and of coz.. to share my losts on that day... hahaha... =ppp anyway.. it is just $9... actually that is not why i want her to come over lah... is just that the place is at Yishun wor.. at least she can acc me go back to east area together.. =pp

Then on Friday... I went to TopOne Kbox with zhutou after work.. coz it's a Friday Nite... didnt really want to go home so early... phew.. 2 person singing is kinda tough but exciting... ^_^ how about mahjong?? oh!~ that happened when I reached home about 11plus... i saw da bro.. da sao and their friend sitting in the living room eating the sweet soup that my mum cooked in the afternoon... they didnt look good and I didnt bother much... until when I call my dad to check where they are... coz I need to use the car to look for Bee Khim to pass her the earpiece... then my dad said that da bro suppose to be playing mahjong.. and I realise they short of one person and then not enough leg... so i agreed to play with them after I meet up with Bee Khim... so... that was the 2nd day of mahjong... but I only played for one wind... and mum played for the other 3 winds... =((( waited for the whole nite leh...

Then here comes saturday.. morning I met up with the guys to play bball... that day we have Joven, Junyi, Patrick and me.. just nice we can play 2v2.. although I lost quite a few games... but I did have fun with the guys... and then in the afternoon.. as planned.. me.. zhutou and peiching met up at Angeline's place to play mahjong... ^_^ me and zhutou reached there slightly early to play Wii... and I got Turkey on the bowling game lor... haha... then Peiching reached slightly later after 3pm... then we start our game with Angeline's black mahjong for 2 full rounds... and hmm.. I think I was quite frustrated with the tiles and lost the games... =((( maybe that's my temper bah... hehe...

Then finally on Sunday... actually wanted to go reservior do some running... to check if my knee has recovered.. but I was too tired and wanted to sleep till I shiok de... but in the end was awakened by Xiaomei's SMSes when she trying to confirmed the mahjong game later in the afternoon... thinking about it... didnt chat with her for quite sometime le... then after a few SMSes... I cant sleep already.. so I wake up and play abit facebook until it's about time already... then I see the weather raining already.. and so I offered to fetch Zhutou, Snoopy and Xiaomei to my place... and out game started about 4pm... ^_^ although I lost in mahjong for 3 consecutive days... it was the first time I won.. but i didnt win happily.. coz the winnings comes from Xiaomei... haiz.. she's a newbie.. and yet I win her so much.. so paiseh.. then I offered to treat her the supper we had at 85 market.. that was the first time Snoopy been to 85 market at bedok.. and i think he had a good meal... ^_^

Without realising... it was already past midnight and only realise it when I fetching the girls back... and I quickly bath and fall asleep on the bed when i lied on it..

Company Event with Ericsson

Today went for a company event organized by Ericsson over at Yishun Safra... I was not suppose to go but Angeline Wong approached me to take over her place.. And Choon Kiat is taking over Sylvia's position.. It was a bowling competition between the mixture combination of 4-5 per team from SingTel and Ericsson...

We reached there at about 3:30pm and waited for quite sometime for the event to start... my team consist of 3 from SingTel (Max, Falisha & Me) and 2 from Ericsson (Derrick & Malay Guy).. luckily i know Max and Falisha.. but not for Choon Kiat... haha.. he totally dunno anyone.. but his team got a girl name as Kimberly... believe that she helped on *SEND service... not a bad girl lor...
And then suddenly... they switched off the lights.. and everything turned illuminous... which they set-up the ultraviolet ray and makes everything glow-in-the-dark... CHIO!~



It has been quite some time since I last touch the bowling ball.... so I didnt really bowl well in the first 2 rounds until the last round... i think i managed to take 3 strikes and a few spares... using a 13 pound ball instead of the first 2 rounds using a 8 pound ball..
I also take a quick snap at my shoes... haha.. PUMA with a different shoe laces pattern... ^_^

And one last thingy... the glow-in-the-dark event.. only activate during company event... normal bowling days will not activate de... hehe...

Trip to Johor

It was one of the nicest weekend I had last week... had a tiring yet fun weekend with my friends in SingTel on last Saturday and also a good gathering with my Sec sch buddies on Sunday...

Together with Xiao Mei, Zhutou, Schnappi, Mimo, XiaoXia, SiJia, Alex (SiJia's Hubby), Peiching, Vincent and Chai Hwee.. we planned to have a trip down to Johor for a nice outing and then a seafood dinner at 大马花园... Initially there were many other different plans like prawn fishing... shopping.. etc... and all of us agreed to gather at Kranji MRT to take a bus down to the causeway checkpoint..
So in the morning, I went down to tampines to meet XiaoMei to take bus.. i think is 969 bah... down to Yishun MRT... she asked vincent and know that it is a faster way from east to north... even faster than taking train... however.. i miscalculated the timing and the bus driver drove like F1.. (he must have gone to watch F1 race in Sep this year)... fast till only takes 15 mins to reach tamp... so I reached tamp at 8:30am instead of 9am... so I went to had a light breakfast myself before coming out to meet XiaoMei...
Finally she reached... fully exhausted and straight away fall asleep when we sat down... after that then realise that she went clubbing last night and only slept for a few hours... so i didnt bother her too much.. but can know that she wasnt really quite comfortable with such a tight seats... but she still slpt the whole trip... for me... as usual lor.. although tired but i kept myself awake so that we both will not miss the stops and late for the gathering...
And so.. our journey starts....

We boarded the bus 170 right outside the MRT station... all of us managed to get a seats and we head towards the checkpoints... Over at the checkpoint, that was my first time seeing such an "advance" queue... it was at the most left corner of the entry... just scan the passport and imprint the fingerprints... then we can cross the Singapore checkpoints!~ lolx.. that was super fast...

Then we went down to the bus stops... and while waiting for the bus to come again... Abi suggested to take one of her artistic pictures:


And indeed the result came out quite excellent... however.. we didnt manage to board the bus.. and we all agreed to walk over the bridge to the Malaysia checkpoint... we walked for about 10-20 mins and we reached one of our most agonising part of our journey...




It was damn crowded and there was not much vandilation or any order of the queue inside the checkpoint... wao lao.. many ppl tried to squeeze through us and cut our queue... and our dear Zhutou, who is an typical Aries... could not stand it and keep on complaining and complaining... hehe.. after 1 hour of suffering.. all of us went thru the custom with a very sticky body...

And Zhutou getting high already... start to take pictures with everyone again:


Once we passby the custom... we followed peiching and vincent along the street and met up with Chai Hwee... who had already cross the border with so much ease (he's a malaysian).. no wonder lah... hahah... and we settled our lunch over at a roasted store:


After the lunch... we separated into 3 different cabs (RM18 each) to go to the newly opened Jusco, which is one of the largest shopping complex in Johor... since we did not planned to do any shopping there... there is left only movie-ing or kbox-ing in Jusco.. and we struggled alot if we should watch movie or sing kbox... and as usual.. we took photos again...

Outside the cinema

Outside the RedBox (Kbox)


In the end.. we chosen the kbox as the movie quite hard to choose coz we dont have any movie that we can watch together... see how big is the 11 person KTV room.. and there is a toilet inside the room!~ Even best is the price is only RM30++ for each person... but we requested Chai Hwee to apply for their membership as they served members only... super ridiculous lor... force ppl to sign for their membership...

Our KTV session ended at about 7pm.. at that point of time.. my throat already sore le lor... 2nd KTV session of the week... haha.. then mimo say she wanted to buy some "special" sweets" and zhutou went to shop for her sport shoes... when on the way to the supermart.... xiaomei say she smell her fav food.. which is the 茶叶蛋.. and i tried to smell.. and really got wor.. so i followed her to checkout which store selling it... and finally I saw that shop straight ahead of us selling.. and she was quite happy to be able to eat it... I also bought one for myself.. and it has been a very long time since i last eat the 茶叶蛋 already...

After mimo and zhutou done with their shopping... although none of them managed to buy what they want... (-_-) we went out to catch another 3 cabs down to our last destination... 大马花园

I think we ordered quite alot of seafoods... got 麦片crayfish... stingray... chilli sotong... chilli crabs.. kang kong... garlic xiao mai... it was a sumptous seafood dinner!~ At this point of time.. our dear xiao mei looked super damn shag already... not enough sleep plus out for one whole day le... only got one words to discribe her... "Cui" liao... =X

And we came back to Singapore at about 10-11 plus already... i also "cui" already.. so me.. xiaomei.. zhutou and schnappi walked out to take a cab instead... and yah!~ I dropped my ATM card in the cab... luckily schnappi saw it and pass it to Xiaomei... ^_^ lucky me!~

Tearings are tiring

It was a very very sad night for me... I was tearing and tearing... one after another... and that makes me damn tired now =...((((

Lolx.. it was not bad things that are happening to me... it was just the chinese series that i'm watching:


轉角*遇到愛



It was a story about one lovely couple, a borned rich Princess with a poor "oyster pancake" cook, but with a great dream of being a artiste... their stories begin when the Princess went to look for him to teach him how to cook taiwan's snack which is the "oyster pancake" and slowly.. due to great deal of coincidence.. they met up and fall in love together...

Initially I didnt teared much.. I'm so touched with their romantic-ness and almost tearing already.. but both of them always end up quarrelling and shouting at one another... slowly.. they both enjoyed it so much and it happened almost everytime...

Qin Lang was the guy and because of his lack of confident... he protected his pride by going against Xin Lei... and Xin Lei being a spoiled princess... she never give in to Qin Lang... and their stories slowly built up..

Until one day, when Xin Lei had to leave due to untold reasons... that was the part that i'm watching tonight... it was damn damn sad lor... i teared and teared and teared...

Zzzz.. Looking at the time so late already.. i decided to stop for the night.. hopefully things will get better between both of them...

TopOne KTV Session

Sited along North Bridge Rd, which is opposite of Bugis Junction, there is one ktv lounge called TopOne. It was a singing place that, what I heard, has 4 different themes for different level...

It was on 19 Nov 08 (Wed) evening, Me and Zhutou met up with CalCal and Whokie for a karaoke session over at TopOne. Both of them was our Fiesta gaming friends whom always party up together to hunt in the past. But I had stopped the game ever since I started my studies... which I promised myself no gamings anymore until I complete my studies... Coz if I start any new games now.. I'll may be out of control and neglected my studies...

So on that night... it was my first time visiting this TopOne, but however wasnt my first time hearing this karaoake place.. think got once is from XiaoXia... the price over there was slightly cheaper than KBox and the songs were recently updated... it might somehow be my favourite spot in the future... ^_^

If i'm not wrong, that night the theme that we entered should be belongs to CHINA... lolx.. or Chinese... not quite sure lah.. see the picture will know already...



Whokie, CalCal, Zhutou, Me

Our dinner for the night... got 2 flavour: TomYam or SukiYaki
Looks nice.. but taste bad... >.<
"China" or "Chinese" Theme



Dinner with Bee Khim

It was since after i graduate from my secondary school life, I dont recall ever meeting her up since then. And finally got the chance to see her again after so long... and she was my very first "puppy" love I had during sec sch... lolx.. those times were fun... but it was nv meant to be a lasting one...

It was the tuesday night when i met up with her and went to Heeren Jack's place for a nice "steaky" dinner... During the dinner.. we chat alot and alot about our current lifes and how has it been going.... and even mentioned some of our past...

However, sad to say.... my first comment about her was: "What have you done to your hair!~" lolx.. i'm used to her long pony-tailed hair that she had during secondary school.. and I was quite stunned and almost cant recognise her....

Our plan was to shop around and get some idea for Qi's present for his bday that was coming up on Sunday.. At the end of the window shopping.. we managed to thought of four ideas for Qi's present but I'm not sure if I should share the present with them... so I suggested that we keep the idea first and I had to check with the rest of the brothers to see if they are keen to share for a present...

On our trip back home, we talked about her older sister, Bee Kiat, whom I knew slightly about this girl during Polytechnics period... Bee khim told me quite alot about her sister.. that her sister had changed quite alot after she got to know her current fiance... and neglecting the family.

Love indeed can change a person... but however in her case... it wasnt that fortunate...
