life is busy...

Wednesday:

Went shopping with Charlene at Raffles City, Suntec and Marina Square... It was really my record so far [coz i bought 2 items that day!! =D]

Thursday:

Went to lynette's house and the curry chicken was really really nice =D [thanks a lot for that!!]
Went shopping with my parents later in the night and i was seriously falling asleep... so it wasn't productive at all.. haha...


Friday:

Went for A*STAR seminar in the morning and it was really inspirational... this Australian associate professor was like teaching us how to make billions of dollars with research... HAHA!!! he was really really funny though... he spoke with an Australian accent: 'I am going to teach you how to make billions of dollars... it's easy... all you need is an idea... [that sells] ... so now... i'm going to share with you my idea... but... you can't possibly steal it coz otherwise... I CAN SUE YOU...' [laughs] ... ... and this is how he ended off... 'so anyone interested in this area of research?... give me a call.. and we can make billion of dollars together!!' ... [first time I heard from a researcher that is soooo funny] ... and his definition of being a researcher - It's cool... coz you'll get to do all the COOL stuff... =D

Had a tour at Fusionworld in the Fusionopolis... it's really really exciting... =D ... there were like 60 technologies that were so fresh and enlightening.. I saw the 'future home' .. the 'future workplace' ... the 'future medical facilities' ... wow!!!!!!!!

Visited the Institute of High Performance Computing [IHPC]... haha.. hmm... that's not really my area of interest... anyway... learn many new stuff from there too =D

Went out with my research friend... for a movie - [body of lies] ... hmm... i dun really understand it though.. haha.. plot too complicated... had dinner at pasta mania .. talked about some research stuff... and i was feeling tired.. so i went home early.. to rest...

--------------------------------------------------------------
Looking back... I can conclude that my life after A levels is sooo much busier compared to when i was studying for A's... and surprisingly... i'm more tired too... slp later... etc... so ironical...

Marina Barrage

On tuesday:

Visited the Marina Barrage in the evening... It's a really really nice place.. nice sceneries and the breeze is so refreshing... [perfect place to emo too... lol! - for those pple who love emoing...]

Here's how it look like =D :


Anyway... this is a new reservoir that they are building... trying to make Singapore self-sufficient... there are nine crest gates and seven drainage pumps to manage the water level... many interesting things to learn from there... there's a pump house too ... but it's not yet ready..

[The seven drainage pumps]

{watched sunset there too!!! for the first time.. [very nice!] }

[haha.. and i really like the breeze =D]

I think Singapore is going to be really nice in a few years time =D

... Life after A's =D

yesterday night... [or rather early this morning] was hilarious...

Anyway... went out with Jamie yesterday for some shopping... and we had a nice chat at Carl's Junior... finally ate the beef chilli fries.. [first time!] =) ... opps... and i spent too much money till i was like left with 6 dollars to last for the rest of the day.. trying to 'manage my finance' as proposed by kevin and that's why i didn't bring much $$$ out that day ... then in the end not enough money!! ...

Proceeded to Vivo City later to meet some of my Sec school friends.. and guess what... went shopping for their prom dresses.. [haha.. i feel like nowadays i keep going around shopping for pple's prom dresses..lol] ... i still got lots of stuff to buy!!! haha!! ... well... it was quite fun shopping with them anyway... wondering why jazlyn likes ' bright green dresses' so much?!?!?! [*laughs*]

Dinner was at Pepper lunch... [emptied my pockets...]

Then we went out to see some lights and talked a while before going back home =D

=(

Got 'stung' by the stingray... indirectly.. so now I look like Rudolf... [the red nose raindeer]

Had dinner yesterday at Newton Food centre.. and it kept raining [or rather drizzling]... then my mom keep wanting to change seats so I had to carry this huge coconut around... lol...

Went for dental later in the night... and sigh... i can't take out my braces yet =((((( .... need 2 more visits!!! Oh man! ... I wished my teeth could like move faster or something...

Going out again... [when will I get to rest? - HAHA!] Nevermind... i rather go out then stay at home anyway =) ... juz that today I gotta go out with a swollen nose [argh... think i'm really allergic to seafood =(]

... Life after A's =D

I had a really wonderful day yesterday... It feels as though the times we spent in Crescent were back again... Our hectic JC/IB lives has set us apart for two years... with each and everyone of us going our separate ways.. I was so afraid that time can drift us apart... but yesterday has reassured me that we can remain as close friends again =) ... It was really a wonderful feeling... =D

We met at cine leisure to catch a movie... [high school musical 3] ... found out that it was Eileen's favourite movie.. haha! [even her bookmark had a high school musical design!!] I thought I was the only few who like it.. The movie was really nice!! [though the plot was rather simple] .. I like the songs they sang.. especially the duets.. it's really really.. .. how should I put it? [enchanting?] haha... oh... and I like the dance too... it's called 'the last waltz' ... Ball dancing is really nice... I heard they had that in London... [really hope I could go there=)] and experience it myself.. haha!

Oh.. and we met Jessica there too!!! in the theatre... and they were sitting just beside us... haha!!!!! lol!!!
Then... we went shopping... for prom dresses =) ... Eileen as usual... [is so stubborn!!!] ... ask her to shop she stood at 'Daniel Yam' shop to read her story book... oh well... CMI man!!
Dinner was at Swensenz... ate the Salmon Bake rice and it was soooo delicious!! =D Kailing and Meily were there too... [to make a whole lot of noise again!!!] ...
We then went to TCC to celebrate eileen's birthday!!! bought the cake for her then in the end must force her to eat some more.. lol! .. Michelle and I figured that the cake tasted nice.. haha.. so we 'help' her eat a bit =P
Wow!! I really felt great that day... It has been a long time since we had so much fun together... Looking forward for more outings.. haha.. like going to Michelle's house to bake after prom =) [coz my oven spoiled..=(] .. and to sentosa!! =) [k.. this time i won't wear jeans anymore =)]
Till we met again =D
Here are some pics:

Pic taken at the neoprint shop - with our own cameras!! =)

Life after A's =D

Sentosa Trip [19th November]

I woke up.. feeling excited =D ... because we are finally going to Sentosa again after a really really long time =D Sentosa is really my favourite place in Singapore... I like the sand, the sea, the waves, the atmosphere etc... Everything!! =) [but actually.. I like sentosa best when it is at night =)]

We met at 10.30am ... at harbour front MRT... among all the girls, only Jamie, Shalom, Marissa and me went... oh well... The first thing we did there was to play Frisbee =) ... with this super small Frisbee that yong jian brought... haha!! ... It was quite fun actually... coz the Frisbee was rather easy to catch... [hmm... but i was kind of confused sometimes... wondering which side we are supposed to score.. lol.. ]

Then... the rain came... and so we resorted to playing cards as usual =)

Lunch was at this food centre at Pelawan Beach... and.. all the girls realized that the guys were really really quiet during lunch... [haha] ... super UNLIKE them... and so Shalom concluded that maybe Kai Zhong was like the 'catalyst' for all the noise and stuff [reaction] or something.. hmm.. =)

Went up to the 'twin-towers' at pelawan beach after lunch... the climbing stairs part was ultra torturing coz jamie and I were like suffering from serious muscle ache after badminton yesterday!! .. well.. but when we were up there, the breeze was ultimately refreshing =) .. so we sat there for a while... =) [and it was a nice feeling though]





Went back to our 'camp site'... [but by then Shalom and Marissa had already left us..] ... the guys went to play soccer... so Jamie and I decided to go into the sea.. =))) then... the rain came again... sad!! we wanted to get out of the sea... but when we stood up.. this gust of wind just blew past us ... and our decision is...... sea is warmer!!! =D haha! .. the rain was quite heavy... and when the rain-splash effect causes some sea water to enter our eyes... it's really painful... =(( ... we stayed there for about an hour plus anyway... [talked about some stuff =)] ... and so sorry... didn't know the guys didn't know where we were... oh and thanks ngiam anyway for wanting to help us with an umbrella...
Found out later that Nic Goh lost his specs in the sea... and someone was suggesting that he can wear his goggles around.. lol... crazy idea!!!
Left sentosa at 6 plus to join Lynette, Amy and Suyi for dinner =) ... [oh... but i can't remember the resturant name] .. anyway the food there was really good.. =) we talked a lot and apparently lynette was having some hearing prob that day.. haha.. [so it was REALLY funny!!]
Here's a pic of us at the dinner place [ohhh.. and i got my window seat =D]


By the time I reached home.. it was like already 11pm .. OMG!!! .. partly the bus fault coz Amy and I waited like more than half an hour for bus 61 to come!! [that was frustrating]
Well.. that's about all I guess... for that day... It was quite fun anyway... but it could have been better if it didn't rain.. [and if more pple go.. haha =)]
I realized that after A level like more busy.. haha.. busy going out and all... [don't even have time to update] ..
Anyway.. i'll be looking forward to more outings =) ... [lynette was suggesting BBQ at her house =)))))]

Other pics: =D

let's celebrate!!

Yay!!! The long awaited day has finally came!! =D ... During physics MCQ today... I could hardly concentrate during the last 15 min coz I was already thinking about what to do after that!! =D ... I could feel that the invigilators are happy for us too =) ... coz she was like saying 'stop writing' with this BIG smile on her face!

Had a little celebration in school today coz Wan Ching brought the sparkling apple drink... it was really cool coz it was the first time I saw a 'popping bottle' live... oh... and I guess all our bags must be smelling like apple juice now!

We then proceed to bishan sports complex to play badminton... [and some cards] ... It was my first time there as I seldom go to that part of Singapore... well.. badminton was fun!! Really glad that almost the whole class actually went =D ... and Marvin was really amusing!!! haha! ...

Lunch at pizza hut was fine... though I couldn't finish my food as my small stomach can't take too much food at one time [which means I need to take more frequent meals... =D ... coz i can get hungry real easily.. ] ... wanted to watch movie though... but didn't in the end... oh well..

Here's a picture taken at bishan junction 8:

Decided to go to Jamie's house after that to entertain ourselves =D ... and her house was really really really ultra nice!!!!!!!!!!!! [my future dream house... haha!!] Played majong there and lynette was really funny.. haha.. and i must be a lousy tutor coz she didn't win any set.. lol!!! ... well.. it was really fun anyway!!! =D ...

Took a bus down to orchard to meet my parents after that... went for dinner with my family and my cousin's ... at soup resturant!!! =D ... food there was really great! =D

A day well-spent =D .. hope everyday could be like that!! .. haha!!!

Oh well... but my poor brother must have felt so bored coz he was juz like tagging along.. [but luckily there's a bookstore there to entertain him.. so not so bad =)] ~ i think...

hmm.. I think i've more or less toured Singapore now that i think of it.. we went to Vivo.. then to Wisma.. and then to Far East... =D haha... [but at least it is productive =D]

ohhhh!!! and just one more paper to go... and i'll be freed from my books for almost a year!!!!!!! can't wait!!! =D
