Life these days.
Went through the 1 and a half weeks of school.
although it is a four days work week semester, life isn't as smooth sailing as i thought it would be.
Things are not exactly that un-smooth sailing also.
Fatigue from long hours in school, with long breaks very other day makes life unproductive.
Hopefully things gets a lot better after tutorials and lab starts.
This Semester is gonna be a crucial one for me.
My CAP of 3.6 puts me at a risky position in my pursuit for applied Chemistry.
Seriously need to maintain my CAP or better still pull it up!
It aren't gonna be easy, considering that I am currently taking up 4 cores,
(or I would consider that 5 cores as German is also of the same level of importance as my cores.)
Things are getting complicated. as the days goes pass.
Things such as my studies, the illogical facts that we are forced to accept!
Things such as my aspirations, What if i took up Applied Chemistry and in the end, i end up being a teacher?
Things such as Scholarship opportunities, Why hadn't I try for scholarships in the past? Should i try for the MOE Teaching Award then? (though the thought of the 4 years bond totally freaks me out. and i don't wanna be an irresponsible teacher. I need to really have the passion for teaching. and now, that remains a part of me that I just couldn't figure out. Teaching my tuition kiddos is ok, obviously it will be different feeling as teaching and controlling a group of kids, especially rowdy ones. However, the thought of a sponsored exchange programme to Germany proves to be very appealing which leads me to what's next.)
Things such as my Financial capbilities. With so much money of mine flowing out of my bamk account at $100++/week, how am i gonna survive?!
Maybe i am gonna survive, but how am i ever gonna save enough money to go for my Language Immersion Programme to Germany. (I haven't even mention Student Exchange Programme.)
Driving cost is killing me slowly, Buying of textbooks is killing me rapidly, my Dental costs is the real killer each time. (and i just missed my Dental appointment today. damn. i remembered the wrong time.) I am thinking of taking up another tuition assignment. Yet, the concern is my studies will be jeopardised another consideration is that there is not much time to squeeze in anymore days for another tuition except on Saturdays and Sundays. (and that is provided that my Driving or the current tuition does not fall on Saturday or Sunday.) Oh, and did i mention that the current tuiton might be extended to twice per week which makes my schedule much tougher to accomodate another tuition timing. But that is good news too! at least there is income! :D and Chinese New year is coming! so hopefully the angbaos money that i get will go into my bank. (: (I think it used to not go into my bank.)
Things such as my lousy Driving skills is indeed bothering me! Damn it! I really hope that i can pass on my first try. My TP is on the 27 March. That is too soon. Looking on the brighter side, the sooner i take it, the sooner i will pass (Hopefully!) and the sooner would i be rid of the driving cost burden. I would say that my Driving is really quite lousy. Though the instructor did say that I am slowly improving, I still feel that i am lousy. Nevertheless, i look forward to every driving lesson no matter how much i dread my instructor's scoldingss! I hope that I can be less timid, and start driving faster. Cruising at 40km/hour even on long straight roads with no cars is indeed very slow. I shall start driving faster the next time round. Oh, and last Sunday morning, at 745am was the first time i drove to Ubi! whee! and i saw my Primary School Maha Bodhi under renovation. (oh, and why is that Manjusri secondary beside Maha Bodhi now huh?! I don't like the idea.) My driving timings are usually very weird. Most of the time it would be early in the morning at 8am, or even before 8am. I almost had driving at yesterday night at 930pm till 11pm. crraziness i think. Luckily the instructor forget. Plus i have never driven at night before! This Saturday my lesson will be at a much more normal timing (130pm). It would be my 7th Driving lesson. (: Please bless that i do much better. Lastly I just wanna say that even though my instructor is fierce, he can be encouraging to a certain extent. For instance that day i stalled! then, in my mind, I was thinking, "Shit man, confirm get scolded again le la!" But to my astonishment, not only did he not scold me, he say that, "偶尔stall一两次是不用紧的!" That is so not him la! Usually he will just scold me lo probably he saw the the distressed and guilty face of mine when i stalled and decided to let me off. I concluded that he isn't that cold blooded afterall.
Things such as my nightmares. They are scary. They are so real and they work on my fears and yearnings.. It leaves me afraid initially, then I would become sad after I wake up. I would tear whenever i think of it. I don't understand why can't those dreams be of a happier ending. I would be really afraid that the dreams do come true, and I sincerely pray that they don't come true. I don't understand why do I have those dreams. Are they trying to tell me something? Are dreams really what happens in reality? If it does, then I want to know why it happens.
That is about all that is going on in my life.
On a happier note, Chinese New Year is coming soon! :D
Looking forward many other joyous things!
Receiving angbaos! Family gatherings! (though i don't quite look forward to certain family gatherings.) Playing with chubby Nadine who is coming back from Dubai! (: Mahjong session! Steamboat at Uncle's place! (I simply love his steamboat with the BBQ thing!) Mummy's CNY cooking! Playing with Marcus and Mabelle! (: Taking Photos with my brother! (Haha. I realised that we like to camwhore during CNY!) Wearing new clothes! Sleeping in my new Snoopy PJs and Bedsheets(not Snoopy one): )! Eating CNY goodies! Lou Yu Sheng! and too much more to be mentioned...
Wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year in advance! :D Give me angbaos please!!!
Chinese New Year is never as traditional as it used to be. Ever since then.

那一條牙膏 在對我傻笑
嘲笑我永遠用不掉
想睡就睡 想鬧就鬧
好快樂少了人嘮叨
藍色的碗盤 多買了一套
我忘了沒有人陪我通宵
要多少替代的丑角 無辜的陪笑
才會讓我能真的忘了你的好
我在搞笑 藉著熱鬧 掩蓋著心跳
邊哭邊笑 偏要說著一個人真好
當人群散了 突然覺得我可以死掉
我受不了
還在搞笑 害怕回家 不知怎麼熬
這麼多年 早就習慣 有妳的撒嬌
我想我能熬 但是至少要讓我知道
妳好不好
我們的小狗 食量變好小
眼神裡常常顯的無聊
他習慣睡覺的床位 少了一雙腳
所以他常常看著門口睡不著
我在搞笑 藉著熱鬧 掩蓋著心跳
邊哭邊笑 偏要說著一個人真好
當人群散了 突然覺得我可以死掉
我受不了
我在搞笑 卻在最後 眼淚拼命掉
妳的離開 失去多少 我計算不了
忙完了一天 突然覺得又何必辛勞
對誰炫耀
還在搞笑 是否擁有 麻痺的療效
唱一夜歌 卻避不開 催淚的曲調
我徹夜胡鬧 希望聽到有人會提到 你好不好

Guys/Boyfriends Should know this!
When a GIRL is quiet,
Millions of things are running in her mind
When a GIRL is not arguing,
She is thinking deeply
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of
questions,
She is wondering how long you will be
around
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a
few seconds,
She is not at all fine
When a GIRL stares at you,
She is wondering why you are lying
When a GIRL lays on your chest,
She is wishing for you to be hers forever

She is seeking for your attention
When a GIRL sms's u everyday,
She wants you to reply at least once

true friends or not true friends?
i was just pondering, if what happened to me happens to someone else,
how will that person react?
just a little thought.
though i don't think it will ever happen.
since it takes two hands to clap, and neither this party nor that party will allow it to happen right?
*pardon me, only certain people will be able to comprehend. (:
nevertheless, through a certain incident i realised that at times super glue doesn't work. there are times when a thinner needs to be called for. at least i have learnt something by looking at the whole incident happening. hopefully one day, someone will realise that too.
anyway, today i finally saw kesleen's boon!
HAHA! he has BIG eyes!
but not scary la.
not like someone who is scary and evil and bad and horrible and possessive and etc etc.
i think i should just stop badmouthing people.
okies, la i guess he is a friendly person! though he didn't even take bothered to say hi to stef and i, but still... hmm.. haha.
and i wanna take his module too!! some fragrances module! i think it is about perfume stuff! (:
yay! and i aspire to work in a perfume industry okies (: that's my ambition! :P gonna ask kes to ask him about it if he manages to appeal successfully. (:
okies, i blogged. (:

our great gathering yesterday!
:D we had a great great gathering yesterday.
it was kopitiam.
then shopping at ZARA!
(and it was a fruitful shopping trip! Right Kristen?)
LASTLY! BAKERZIN!
oh my gorgeous!
this impromptu meet up was largely inspired by passing enfant's her beautiful present!
(the one that stef, kes and i specially chose for her lo! )
and fuelled by the Promotional Bakerzin Warm Chocolate Cake at a price of $4.90! :D
(after all the pluses, it cost us about $5.70)
for the sake of our dearest jiawei who has missed out all the fun due to her inter-hall games,
(and for thanking jiawei for helping us make a trip down to S5 then S8 just to help us ballot resulting in her attending only half her lesson!)
i have decided to blog about the highlights of the gathering.
At Kopitiam,
Stef, kes and i decided to play hotel626 before kris and enfant arrived.
(the game is only available from 6pm to 6am!!!!)
hotel626 keeps you in suspense!
Everything is so so real!!
From first point of view!
i admit that i was really scared, hiding behind my "winter wear".
Stef was in charge of clicking. HAHA!
she is the bravest of us all.
sadly we didn't manage to complete any of the levels.
haha! and partly due to us being scary cats, and the other part due to the slow loading speed, we ended the game!
Kris and enfant arrive, thus our normal dinner began.
it was a chit chatting session during dinner,
with enfant complaining of her online buyer,
kris complaining of her lousy day,
and the rest of us complaining of a lousy yesterday,
plus many other miscellaneous things.
oh ya! i have to add that i really love enfant's belt! :D
Kes agree too lo!
but there are some people who thinks otherwise; they named her belt - bandage.
Left for ZARA,
no, first to search for shoes, but to no avail. ):
too ex la! ALDO! unacceptable price range!
so we decided to shop around in ZARA. (:
Kris took two tops to try.
and the three of us took turns to go into the fitting room to comment! (:
hee. (: we are considerate people lo, didn't want to jam up the narrow fitting room.
erm, but in the end, kris requested for all of us to go in!
all of us thought that the black one suits her best! and most importantly, it totally goes with her longchamp bag! (not like t-shirts!) HAHA!
finally we completed our mission!
and really finally we are BACK ON TRACK!
debts clearing is speeding up le! :D
Next was bakerzin!
we were all weirdos.
although we all knew that we only wanted the warm chocolate cake, veryone still flipped through the whole of the menu!
Bakerzin shall be decided as our next next dinner place!
prices are reasonable indeed. (:
the warm chocolate cake took quite long to be served though. ):
but our talkativeness once again causes time to fly!
then the cake was served, cameras out and snapping of pictures commence.
Kesleen was damn funny la!
she wanted to post a picture with her cake, erm so i took a picture for her.
but she was "vibrating" so vigorously that her ice cream on the cake slided off the cake!
haha! :D
after finishing the cake.
my dearest enfant made me perform my cutest trick of the night.
nah, i won't divulge what it is yet! :P
you readers shall know when i upload those pictures! :P
though it has something to do with my "winter wear".
according to kesleen, the waitress collecting our plates laughed atME my cute trick while collecting the plates!
hee (:
oh, i suddenly remembered that enfant and kesleen was like so hou lian pi (thick-skinned) la!
there were several incidents lo, and they both fought to be the prettiest!
kesleen's memorable "魅力无法挡" was the classic of the day la!
and that was about all for our mini gathering!
short, shortage, but endless fun nevertheless!
anyway, i have to admit that i truly enjoy the company of this bunch of friends!
just having a short dinner, shopping, dessert makes me so happy!
and i really admire our creativity at times. (:
and sorry for the really late posting of photos okies. ):
i am really busy ma!
knowing my friends who are such a vainpot, they would rather me not post photos than to post a non-perfected photo of them lo.
so be patient and just wait alrights.
i have a threading deadline to meet! by this friday!
so busy threading. DO NOT DISTURB! :D
it was kopitiam.

now i finally know who are my true friends...
a line adapted from Dr Seow.
My LSM1401 lecturer this semester.
This is so true.
Do you even care?
Are you even concern?
Did you even bother to ask?
Did you even make an effort?
everything seems so expected i guess.

getting poorer as the days goes pass.
As the economy is starting to turn bleak and black nowadays,
everyone is trying to save and scrimp.
yet i freakingly spent $171!!!!
a visit to the clinic cost me a freaking $171!!!
that is substracting off the amount of time I spent queueing up this morning,
and the amount of beauty sleep that i have to sacrifice.
other than that, the number of times that i have to go to and fro the clinic only to realise that it is still not my turn.
the number of times to and fro amounts to a huge sum of bus fare.
ADULT BUS FARE OKIES!!
i am glad i went on a bike on my second trip there.
yeah, the bike.
caused myself a huge big scratch.
my fist hit into the wall!
):
it is reddish, (becoming blue-blackish) and the skin is coming out now.
haiz.
great opportunity cost.
hopefully all that has happened today is worthwhile.
please.
*i crossed my fingers and say those prayers*
alrights, two good thing that happened.
the doctor says that there is improvement.
come back in 6 weeks time! (gotta queue up again!)
second good thing.
I made a dental appointment this friday (: hehe (:
i love visiting the dentist!
i am going to my brother's dentist which is my ex dentist later.
a summary of my queueing up time:
early in the morning at 730am, reached the clinic and queued up till 840am,
just to get the queue number.
made my way back home for breakfast.
then left my house at around 1015am.
reached the clinic again at 1025am. (i cycled damn fast lo!)
there is a need for some explanation here.
My queue number was 16.
and i heard the nurse telling the patient (queue number 14) to come back around 45 minutes later.
As i have had the prior experience of the nurses' ability in predicting the consultation time,
i decided to come back only about 1 hour 30 minutes later. (which was around 1030am)
So to my horror, when i reach the clinic at 1025am, it was only at queue number 8!
i had no choice but to roam around the neighbourhood areas, with nothing interesting or appealing to me.
bought 4D for my mummy.
made my dental appointment.
and lastly, i really had no choice but to go back to the clinic, sit down, wait,
(it was only queue number 11)
while starting playing Spore and Guitar Hero on my phone.
Pretty much of an achievement i made in both Spore and Guitar Hero.
Finally at 1150am, queue number 16 was called.
in total, i spent my whole morning from 650am - 1210pm just to see doctor!
grrr!
back to the topic of poorness,
2 driving lessons this week: $72
visit to the clinic: $171
visit to the dentist: GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH? (at least $100 i suppose.)
tuition being postponed: ): no income.
haiz. ):
sad and poor.
though money can't buy happiness.
but with less money there is less happiness.
looking forward to tuition tomorrow. (:
sorta miss giving tuition.
everyone is trying to save and scrimp.
yet i freakingly spent $171!!!!
a visit to the clinic cost me a freaking $171!!!
that is substracting off the amount of time I spent queueing up this morning,
and the amount of beauty sleep that i have to sacrifice.
other than that, the number of times that i have to go to and fro the clinic only to realise that it is still not my turn.
the number of times to and fro amounts to a huge sum of bus fare.
ADULT BUS FARE OKIES!!
i am glad i went on a bike on my second trip there.
yeah, the bike.
caused myself a huge big scratch.
my fist hit into the wall!
):
it is reddish, (becoming blue-blackish) and the skin is coming out now.
haiz.
great opportunity cost.
hopefully all that has happened today is worthwhile.
please.
*i crossed my fingers and say those prayers*
alrights, two good thing that happened.
the doctor says that there is improvement.
come back in 6 weeks time! (gotta queue up again!)
second good thing.
I made a dental appointment this friday (: hehe (:
i love visiting the dentist!
i am going to my brother's dentist which is my ex dentist later.
a summary of my queueing up time:
early in the morning at 730am, reached the clinic and queued up till 840am,
just to get the queue number.
made my way back home for breakfast.
then left my house at around 1015am.
reached the clinic again at 1025am. (i cycled damn fast lo!)
there is a need for some explanation here.
My queue number was 16.
and i heard the nurse telling the patient (queue number 14) to come back around 45 minutes later.
As i have had the prior experience of the nurses' ability in predicting the consultation time,
i decided to come back only about 1 hour 30 minutes later. (which was around 1030am)
So to my horror, when i reach the clinic at 1025am, it was only at queue number 8!
i had no choice but to roam around the neighbourhood areas, with nothing interesting or appealing to me.
bought 4D for my mummy.
made my dental appointment.
and lastly, i really had no choice but to go back to the clinic, sit down, wait,
(it was only queue number 11)
while starting playing Spore and Guitar Hero on my phone.

Picture collages for my friends!
seven sisters! :D
dawn and sheena! :D
still having fun with my Picasa!
erm. i needed to force quit once. but overall it was still fine.
Fun wih Picasa for Mac (beta) on my MacBook Pro!
Here is what i did with Picasa.
(:
a small little review on Picasa.
Just having a little fun after downloading Picasa (for Mac) for free!
I am really glad that they came up wih Picasa for Mac.
I fondly remember the memories i had with Picasa a few years back when i was working with my home PC.
Finally got it on my Mac!
When i first got the software i was thinking that isn't this just another software like iPhoto?
But Picasa proved me wrong!
There are addition useful things like creating pictures collages,
(fast and easily! very very user-friendly)
Tabs to keep things in check and allowing your work to be done neatly.
This is especially appealing to people who dislike having to work with 1000 windows! (one example would be photoshop!)
*Something like tabbed browsing on a browser. Get the picture?
iPhoto isn't that bad, because you can't work with more than 1 photo at a time! ):
Allows for uploading of pictures into your blogger account!
This is what i just did!
This would definitely make me much more efficiently in uploading pictures for my monthly gatherings.
i have not tried uploading lots of pictures at once, but so far, there aren't any major glitches in my experience with Picasa 3 for Mac (beta).
Hope that things stay the way it is now.
oh, there is one down side of Picasa though.
It is unable to edit pictures from the iPhoto Library directly.
there is a need to make another copy of the picture.
Not quite Picasa's fault though, since iPhoto library stores only the read only files.
It is just one point that makes it more troublesome and space consuming to use Picasa.
No doubt, Picasa is good. i will still be using my iPhoto to import photos from my camera.
Editing will be done on iPhoto too.
Nevertheless, well done Google.
This logo below shows that i have uploaded this post from Picasa.
Bidding is a chore. CORS madness!
i am beginning to dread bidding.
not that i liked it in the first place.
starting to have doubts about the whole bidding system.
up till now, as i proceed into my second semester.
i know that i am still pretty unsure of the whole bidding process.
yeah. i am a noobie at these kinda things.
One million thousand doubts on bidding...
when do you bid for what?
when can you bid for what?
where to check all the bidding history?
etc etc.
this post, is largely triggered by the anxiousness in me that i can't bid for CM1161 in this round.
):
please do not take away my applied chemistry dream!
i have of course exhibited my Singaporean spirit by Advancing bidding!
(okies, advance biddign sounds like one good point in the CORS system. heh.)
glad that LSM1401 and LAG2201 is preallocated!
no need for bidding! :D
oh, but i don't understand why can't they just pre-allocate CM1121 and CM1131 to us?
i mean what's the point of bidding for something, when it is our CORE?
the best part of it all is we need to take the time to log into the CORS system just to bid for that CORE module for one miserable point!
When all that they can do is to get it pre-alocated to us?!
rahhs.
i will get over all these soon.
just feeling pretty down now.
lack of sleep i think.
yawns!
gonna go back to replying emails.

Macbook wheel
looking at how Apple once again come up with something WOW-ish.
*sense the sarcasm please*
Introducing the Revolutionary Macbook Wheel!
"To reduce energy use, Screen goes black after 4 seconds"
"I'll buy almost anything if it shiny and made by Apple!"
"I never really realised how much I hated keyboards until I saw this thing..."
oh and please listen carefully to how much it cost!
in case you are just wondering, i am still pretty much a Mac fan.

okies, i totally koped this from enfant's blog without seeking for her permission.

Thanks very much to my dearest enfant (:
erm, and all those mummy that she mentioned in her post is me la.
and ah ma is liyong.
minus the fact that the waitress threatened to charge us for wasting food (haha she never had to, because the liver, and the ahem "japanese tofu" which an ah ma of mine ordered was dumped into the pot of dan dan soup, and was covered by brownish peanut butter like substance. haha. anw, i realise mummy likes everything to do with peanuts, including that funny dan dan peanut soup. hahah! and nice ah gong helped me to cook some noodles:D:D then hor, the nus pple started talking abt their nus things and their cm 111 or dont know what thing, so the ntu pple had to talk abt their things too! hahah lucky have 3 of us ok! anw, i decided i m really chui alr cos i dont even know when our exam results were coming out, had to ask mary who heard from her friend and i didnt even know when we were starting school.HAI! die lah, those tut 27 pple never tell me lor.
oh wait! i think i had to eat a half cooked japanese mushroom thanks to my dearest mum, and jiawei shall officially be known as my Prawn Partner(cos she always help me cook prawns) kesleen and liyong are Prawn Competitors .HAHA but its actually me being thick skin eating up all the prawns.hahaha! mummy is seriously lousy cos poor ah gong have to peel prawns for her. ha! i think ah gong can be Prawn Peeler II. heeheeeee. (next time go out on a prawn buffet we all know who to ask.. LOL. anw, i must say ah ma can be one of those generals in the old chinese army, cos those old men always use like some chess pieces to represent their armies or what right? ah ma used some preserved vege to represent the sitting position of the guys on the nxt table to show kristen. anw, those pple ordered 7 longs of xlb! gosh!
anw, lucky have good old ah ma to go back with me from holland v:D i mean its so much better to go with someone, and suprising holland v was very quiet on a sat night. anw, im weird but i just like walking on that stretch of road towards the busstop, i have this weird peaceful feeling when i m there... really wanted to go walawala! hahaha. yupp. somebodies bring me there next time!:D
*end of enfant's post.*
now time for some contribution on my part,
PICTURES!
This is my dearest enfant with her hairband.
it was like a hairband day.
Kristen had her hairband on too!
She was feeling guilty for not bringing the gifts for our xmas exchange.
Group photo at our table.
did i mention that before?
i love gatherings with ROUND tables! :D
Group photo outside the restaurant!
why does this photo feels like a foreground background photo again!?
on the right is the dan dan tang that enfant claims that i love!
it was really nice lo!
oh, that is a pig liver, that i attempted to cook for enfant!
she didn't mention that i cooked pig liver-yummy ones for her lo!
and she went to mention things(accusations!!) like how i am lousy! not knowing how to peel prawns etc etc.
oh oh, and i did not always cooked uncooked japanese muchroom hor!
only that one time, when i asked her to try and see if its cooked!
Pictures before the steamboat pot arrives :
oh, and i think this picture is cute! :D
but she only have herself to blame, as i simply cannot resist her wonderful blogging style.

seven sisters gathering!
ok today was 7 ssisters gathering, and i was the earliest. you know when phebe bay is the earliest, then the others must be really really late. hahah. okey 2nd was kesleen who was ten mins later than me (another suprising encounter), the was kristen (not so suprising), then stef who is usually one of the reliable i know you are there already person, then liyong, who was (ahem at dais... for a rather long period of time.haha.....), then jiawei, who wore a rather nice shirt, forgot to tell her that! hahah and lastly, the ORGANISER, my mummy. Ok, there is no such resemblance or inheritance because, enfant was the earliest, and my dear mummy who told us to meet at 245, came abt 5 plus. ha! obviously enfant's early genes was no where to be found in her mummy. anyways, we took a weird bus to holland v where we had steamboat, and xiao long baos. hahah! honestly i din really believe that there was such thing as a buffet at 830pm, cos usually all those restaurants want to close alr, but there is one! and its quite nice.minus the fact that the waitress threatened to charge us for wasting food (haha she never had to, because the liver, and the ahem "japanese tofu" which an ah ma of mine ordered was dumped into the pot of dan dan soup, and was covered by brownish peanut butter like substance. haha. anw, i realise mummy likes everything to do with peanuts, including that funny dan dan peanut soup. hahah! and nice ah gong helped me to cook some noodles:D:D then hor, the nus pple started talking abt their nus things and their cm 111 or dont know what thing, so the ntu pple had to talk abt their things too! hahah lucky have 3 of us ok! anw, i decided i m really chui alr cos i dont even know when our exam results were coming out, had to ask mary who heard from her friend and i didnt even know when we were starting school.HAI! die lah, those tut 27 pple never tell me lor.

hating SAF for 2 weeks!
hello! :D
haven been blogging for quite some time.
had a quite a few gatherings recently.
Just last sunday was 30/06 class gathering.
(it feels so foreign when i typing 30/06)
haven seen those guys for so long!
and Leonard has hair now! HAHA!
How ironic. He is in army and he has longer hair than he used to.
Mr Calvin Tan came too.
there was a fairly heated up conversation held in the study before dinner.
memorable it would be.
pizza and shepherd pie for dinner. (:
yum yum!
Lays and doritos as fillers. :D
Guitar hero was great! :D
fun fun fun!
unleashed singing potentials!
Leonard with his screaming! (i will post the videos up!)
and Enfant insisting that Kesleen can sing misery business!
so will the next class gathering be at Kbox?
we shall see! :D
took a few group photos before Calvin Tan left.
(will post that up soon also.)
After guitar hero, the guys moved on to some soccer game.
Girls were left uninterested.
and so we moved on too.
To CAMwhore! :D
no, actually only the seven sisters moved on.
no, actually again, it was the SIX sisters for the night.
cos there was a particular sister of ours having some i-don't-know-what personal reasons, and was not able to make it. :P
all i can say is, you missed out all the fun. but we didn't quite miss you! OOPS! :P
rahhs. anyway, i will post up the pictures on facebook and you will see how much fun you had really missed out!
Bridge session commenced upon the dying down of my camera's battery.
it was paired bridge!
and i will forever remember how the waiting time was like when we played Risk during the previous chalet!
HAHA!
and poor enfant. she sorta lost quiteee miserably.
oh, and did i mention that tan kheng ming and enfant are still bickering!
in fact enfant was bickerish with almost everyone.
(David, qixiang, ME!) :P
yeah, and that qixiang is like some emo quiet kid.
Staying very calm throughout the whole night.
HA. has SAF shaped him into what he has become?
What surprised me was his bridging skills! cool la!
sit there quietly, bidding, playing..
then WINNING.
yeah cool is the word.
tkm acquired a new name.
Click Tan Kheng Ming.
it all came about cause click = km (as in kilometers)
and tkm insisted that km is him.
so Click Tan was his new name.
then came the collection of Class Funds.
it was the most dreadful event during our JC years.
but this time, everyone paid up.
Everyone paid up efficiently.
Everyone including David Phang.
Grow up liao la! haha. :D
or was it cause $7.50 is nothing compared to his $1000 pay monthly.
lastly, it came to the time when people starts leaving.
bidding farewells with the promise that we will meet up again soon in June!
Kristen, Stef, Kesleen, and Jiawei continued their guitar hero game.
while enfant and I left off with Erick and Gauri.
I guess that was when Jiawei and Kesleen left in love with the drums.
rahhs! i wanna play too! should have stayed behind and leave enfant to go home alone man! :P
ahhss. okies, of course i am not that bad a marmee la.
yessh. pictures will be uploaded soon i hope. (:
