Harder Than I Thought Possible...

It's only the 2nd week of sch and I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed already... Well, I should've seen this coming when I haven't been doing my tutorials tt're due next wk and waiting till only [Thurs] before I got started with the tasks...

And tt's only when I realised tt I've to spend some time, effort and even more murder of brain cells to come up with a decent CV... Well, on [Wed] I've had my [BFS1001: Career Planning And Management] module and this wk was all abt CV and cover letters... Man, the way the facilitators said it, it seems like it's quite a daunting task... Little did I realised tt the difficulty of doing a decent resume increases exponentially when you have more achievements, CCA, work experience, etc. as when you're applying for a certain job, you've to place the relevant details in your CV, which means tt you have to filter through all your experience and pick the right one...

And herein lies my prob... I've absolutely NOTHING worthy or desirable to add in my resume apart from the very basics like my fantastic CAP tt'll be able to allow me to stand out from the masses... In the end, my resume was only half a page, a far cry from the maximum 1 page... *Sigh*

Time to really consider a student exchange programe as well as to pick up another language or 2...

Ha~... Well, this wk wasn't really tt exciting, apart from me spending yet another 2 hrs of my time in sch to hang out with [SL] and getting my replacement phone ruined... YES!!! I've like, destroyed yet another phone in the short span of 1 mth!!! GAH~!!! Ugh...

I accidentally bumped into a corner of a table and it smashed the screen of the phone tt's in my pocket... -_-"'

*Deeper sigh* Gonna get an iPhone this time round...

Off to change my display pic on [FaceBook] before getting back to my work...

1st Wk Of Sch...

Unknowningly, 5 days have passed and it's the end of wk 1... And I've yet to switched back to the study mode... OMG...

Okay, I shall follow [Maka Albarn]'s way of dealing... Converting fear to strength and use it to overcome all odds and obstacles!!! In this case, it'll be maintaining my grades @ such perfect lv and not get too many Cs... Tt's 1 of the criteria tt's requred for [SEP]...

Yep, after what the [Biz Career Services] adviced and what I've been hearing from my friends, I guess I should really take some time away from all those [RC] and [Cafe World]... Sit in front of my com, and do constructive research on which uni I should have a holiday in... In the name of beautifying my resume and to get employed in the near future, I should start thinking abt my future...

Oh course, all these talking is very, very easy... Well, my future is @ stake here, so I've to suck it in and GROW UP... *Sigh* =(

I've spent a huge amt on sweets this wk, all thanks to my classmates who're organising a fund raising for the upcoming [FOC] in [Jul]... Not very sure if it's for [O Week] too, but whatever the case is, I've tried to support them by spending abt $10 on sweets, even though they're rather ordinary...

Hmmm... I wondered if I'm throwing away money for the right stuff... After all, I could've used whatever I've spent on sweets and spend it on the students who're attempting to raise funds for a trip to [Cambodia] so tt they can build wells for the needy...

Haiz, I'm gonna keep this short by adding 1 last item...

I've seen [SL] for 3 times in a row this wk... And the record is this afternoon... After my lec, I unknowningly spent 4 hrs in sch, just hanging out with him... We travelled all the way to [FOS] for lunch... Spent a total of 2.5 hrs there cause we did quite a lot of chatting and commenting on the formal attire the [Medicine] students are conatantly in...

Then we travelled all the way to [Central Forum] and spent another 1.5 hrs or so there, checking out the bazaar tt's always there after every few wks and... Chatting again...

Haha... Well, this hardly happens and as the semester continues on and tutorials and labs starts, I'll probably see him less... But to hell with it... As long as I can hang out with him, I'm glad le...

Have I committed a sin??? I've officially entered the grey area... I just hope whatever tt took placed today won't haunt me in the yrs to come...

Yet Another Eye Catching Article...

New Year, New Start...

When you've been single for a while, you view starting a new relationship with a huge dose of trepidation.

You've been through it all before and you're tired. You know too well how it often starts nicely but ends horribly.

You know how hard it is for two people to compromise, which is what relationships are all about. And you know it's even harder when you're older, set in your ways, live in different continents and have been scarred by relationships past.

You wonder if you have the energy anymore to go through another relationship. You think of the heart and head aches that might come your way and wonder if the hassle is going to be worthwhile.

You also know that not wanting to spend another birthday or Christmas or New Year alone is not a good reason to commit to someone. Neither is bowing to social pressure (you're of a certain age and the only one left in the family who hasn't 'settled down').

You know that you shouldn't enter a relationship hoping it can fill whatever void you have inside, or because you think having a partner would give your life more meaning, purpose and excitement.

You know that if you aren't already fulfilled and happy with yourself and within yourself, no one's ever going to do that for you.

The test, I suppose, is whether you still want to spend time with the person when dreary December is over and, hooray, January is finally here and life is back to normal and you've shaken off those holiday blues.

If you still desire his or her company, then surely the new year is the best time to make a fresh start, take that leap of faith and take the plunge.

It's time I muster some courage and go ahead with the investment... Provide I find one with sufficient reliability of course...

1st Post For 2010...

I just realised tt on the last day of 2009, I penned my 300th entry... Sweet... =)

Well, this is my 1st post for the yr 2010... 9 days into the yr... How... Efficient... =P

02/01/2009... I met up with my JC classmates (or rather, the regulars who usually turn up for almost any class gathering) and headed to our J2 form teacher's house to disturb their baby... I was kinda early in leaving the house, so I decided to take a walk @ [Jurong Point] instead of heading all the way to [Pioneer] stn immediately...

As 172 was abt to arrive @ the interchange, the following sight greeted me...



[Boon Lay Bus Interchange]... Surprisingly empty and lack of any crowd @ all!!! LOL... Yep, if I were to actually catch the news or something, I would've known tt the interchange has been relocated, merging with the entire [Jurong Point] shopping centre...

I had a kick out of checking out the new interchange and exploring where all the different exits lead to... Ha~... Mountain totrise... -_-"'

I've no idea whether lunch will be provided, so I grabbed 2 bread from [BreadTalk] before heading towards [Pioneer] stn... I initially wanted to walk all the way there de, but upon feeling a couple of rain drops, I've decided not to take tt chance in case a heavy downpour ensues... In the end, there wasn't any rain @ all... The sun decided to be all happy and shiny after I've took the train...

Which is just as well cause I realised tt it's really a hell of a walk and there's no way I could've covered tt distance in like 15 mins... And it's totally uncool to meet up with everyone when I'm drenched in sweat... Ewwww...

Once we arrived @ [Mr. Ling]'s house, I was grateful for tt 2 bread which I've ingested as there wasn't any decent food except for snacks... And I'm not much of a snacks person la... However, the main attraction this time was our teacher's daughter... My classmates kinda enjoyed attempting to make the baby warm up to us and smile, but it seems she's really afraid of strangers and takes a hell of a long time to warm up to us...

A couple of shots featuring the 14 mths old velcro baby who couldn't stop sticking to either the dad or the mum like, well, velcro...

A group shot before we decided to give our teacher and his family some peace and quiet... Not before hinting tt we could be back on [CNY]... LOL...

Most left shortly after while the remaining decided to chill awhile @ [Anderson's] before heading to [NTUC] to grab more snacks for the stay @ [SH]'s house... Oh, and we did buy some durians too!!! 4 boxes of it for $10... And this was something tt we kinda regret soon after upon tasting it... The durians are kinda bland and this is the 1st time tt I'm actually not thrilled @ eating durians...

No matter what, lesson learn... No more buying durians on my own...

I totally binged on the grapes tt's available and tt was my dinner... LOL... Bread in the afternoon and only grapes and snacks for dinner...

Watched my friends played [Little Big World], a [PS3] puzzle game... Had a great laugh seeing them attempting to complete the individual level... The concept is similar to the [MS] jump quests where you have to navigate through various obstacles and try your very best not to get yourself killed by hitting the traps...

Lots of patience is required... Totally. Not. Easy...

Watched [Up] after tt before calling it a day...

06/01/2010... It was a [Wed] and as usual, [Dragonica] will have a patch... So, rather than waste my existence @ home, I decided to head out after I've completed my [Wed] house chores... Headed all the way to town again but this time, I'm exploring [Ion Orchard]... I started with the top floor and it was really OMG, WTH!!! All the goddamn branded stuff are there... No wonder it's so ulu... Where patrons are there only to make use of the charis around tt floor to chillax...

Found out tt there's a nice bookstore @ the top floor and as I headed towards B4, stuff got slightly cheaper though @ B1, a freaking belt from [G-Star Raw] still cost a whooping $112... Shit, did they like miss out a decimal point or something, geez!!!

A couple of tops did catch my eyes, but it didn't captivate me tt much for me to decide to buy it on the spot... Perhaps some other time when I stumble upon it somewhere else @ a cheaper price, perhaps I'll consider... Haha... The usual pattern when it comes to me buying clothes...

Headed to [Taka] for [Mos Burger] @ abt 1600 hrs... I didn't have my lunch and tt was like a combination of both my lunch and dinner... Hmmm... I wonder how I managed to survive tt day with only 1 meal after tt much walking... Oh well, I guess I must be burning those hidden fats bah... Wahahaha... =P

Walked all the way to [PS] to return the book which I've rented before renting [The Immortal Hunter], another book in the [Argeneau Vampire] series by [Lynsay Sands]...

Headed back to [Ion] after tt do a little more walking and time killing till like 1900 hrs, when I think it's a decent enough time to have desserts... So I travelled to [Far East] to [The Graffiti Cafe] which [XP] brought me there previously for my [Black Glutinous Rice]...

It's when I'm done with it tt I heard from my friend tt there's a [BK] in [Ion], which totally caught me off guard cause I didn't see any [BK] as I was touring... So I decided to check it out...

And discovered to my dodo-ness tt I totally, completely missed out a wing @ B3 where [BK] was located... Zzz... So much for exploring in detail the entire mall...

Made my way home when the clock striked 2000 hrs...

My dodo-ness didn't end @ the [BK] issue... I also took the wrong train... I initially wanted to take the train via [Woodlands] so tt I can enjoy my book w/o changing trains... However, not 5 mins later, I noticed tt the announcement for the next stop was [Raffles City]...

*Sigh*

I took the wrong train by mistake... WTH is wrong with me??? Ha~... I guess it's the fatigue and the fact tt I was busy burning like close to 100 SMSes chatting with a friend tt caused me to enter blur mode le lor... Haha...

Yep, yep... It was a good day, but not the best...

07/01/2010... Met up with [YH], [MJ], [SH] and his bro for a movie @ [Illuma]... But before we went to catch the movie, all of us less [YH] met up 1st for dinner @ [PastaMania]... Once tt was done and [YH] arrived, we headed to [Illuma] to collect our tickets and while killing the time, we were a little crazy with wanting to take pics every now and then @ almost every other area tt we step foot on the mall, like some kuku like tt...

It's a pity I didn't bring my cam, but it's just as well as I'm not the efficient type tt'll post all the pics immediately or within 24 hrs... Whatever the case, the pics are with the ever efficient [SH] and it's already posted on [FB] even before the day was over!!!

Yeah, so the movie tt we watched was [Avatar] and it's in 3-D!!! Haha... Well, it's no debate tt the movie plot bears a striking resemblance to [Pocahontas], but tt's not the point... I think the whole reason tt the movie's able to make the ranks of one of the highest grossing film in history is perhaps due to it's totally awesome CG effects... The scens in [Pandora] is very beautiful... The day scenes are stunning enough, but the night scenes are totally breathtaking...

And it seems like there's a possibility of there having a sequeal to the show!!! Haha... But if you think abt it, if it takes like 14 yrs to develope the 1st part... ... -_-"'

Anyway, before I end of this already very long entry, I saw the following article in [The Staits Time], [Life!] section, page E3 today...

Shameful Act...

Recently I saw one of the most harrowing videos I have seen in a long time. And it was less than a minute long.

Many people would probably have seen it. It shows a bikini-clad woman being molested by four men at a New Year's countdown party on Sentosa.

The men grope her breasts and press against her. When she falls, they pull her to her feet and continue to molest her. She tries to get away but they surround her.

So many things about this clip haunt me.

It was not just the leering, swinish and crimial behaviour of the men that made my blood run cold. The offence itself was hellish. But what really made me feel violated and implicated in the girl's plight were the cameras.

In the video, you can see flashes of cameras going off. Some onlookers were also filming the event.

Not only did they think it was okay to stand around and watch a crime unfold without doing anything, but they also decided to whip out their mobile phones to record it.

A lot has been said about Singaporeans being an apathetic lot. Many of us, trained in the reticent, anti-busybody Asian school of thought, hestitate in interfering in other people's affairs.

Last year, a LifeStyle article showed that most Singaporeans would not stop a man hitting a woman in public. They did not think it was their business to intervene in a private quarel.

In the New Year's Eve molest case, the onlookers also thought it was not their business to stop the men. It was not their business to get someone, such as a security guard or a bouncer, to stop it. But it became their business to film it.

The apathy is staggering. So is the exploitation of the poor woman.

Videos of the molest have been posted on the Internet. YouTube has taken down the video because the video-hosting site knows that there are boundaries that should not be crossed and there are perverts out there who enjoy looking at such images.

Then there are the comments on the video. I will paraphrase the remarks because some of the comments do not bear repeating in a family paper. They are along the lines of 'She deserved it', 'She was drunk' and 'She was wearing so little, she was asking for it'.

Worst of all: 'She looked like she was enjoying it.

I thought I was living in a civilised and enlightened society which, by and large, respects women, and that such ludicrous reasoning was behind us. Clearly not.

A woman wearing a halter top and a short skirt walking down a dark street gets molested. Was she foolish? Maybe. Did she lack awareness? Yes. Did she deserve to be molested or raped? No.

Just suppose a man wearing a flashy watch is robbed while walking down a dark street. Would people say that he deserved his comeuppance?

No one deserves to be assaulted, sexually or otherwise.

The victim has been accused of being an attention-seeker. Deejay Daaniel Ong, who was hosting the party, was quoted as saying that she mooned the crowd by showing her buttocks and dirty-danced with someone.

The implication, again, is that she was asking for it. She was a slut. Good girls do not dance like that. Good girls stay home.

Those who blame the victim are putting forth a poor argument that is dressed up with huge lashings of misogyny.

No, she was not asking for it. She was clubbing and she might have been behaving provocatively, but she was a human being with rights that need to be respected.

This case reminds me of what happened to Jodie Foster's character in the movie, The Accussed.

She was dirty-dancing with a man in a pub and ended up being gang-raped, cheered on by onlookers. After fighting prejudice and a tortuous legal system, she got justice in the end.

The Accused was made in 1988. It is time we got the message: A woman does not forfeit her rights when she drinks too much or behaves 'wildly'. (Incidentally, a man tends to be forgiven for transgressions committed when he is drunk.)

Each time a somebody says a woman behaves like a whore and, hence, deserves something bad to happen to her, we take a step backwards. And the world becomes a nastier place for women.

Totally WTH... I couldn't resist feeling a sense of rage when I read tt some ppl actually thinks tt the women who got molested deserved it... Seriously, they can just die...

Welcoming 2010 With Open Arms...

Heh... I shall attempt once again to keep this short and simple...

Headed out to [Yew Tee] yesterday to collect my beloved [SE W960i] which my dad helped to send for servicing... Sadly, the dude there said tt my phone is beyond hope, totally CMI, the touch-screen can't be salvaged...

O-M-G... He claimed tt it's the water tt did it... But since I've been uber careful and didn't for once drop it in any pubble of water except maybe a couple of rain drops, the dude suggested tt maybe it could be my sweaty palms... GAWD, I can't believe tt my totally acidic and sweaty palms has just destroyed my phone!!!

Yes, so now, I'm officially grieving and mourning the the passing of my semi touch screen phone...

I shall see whta [Dad] plans and when it's time to get a new phone, I'm thinking of maybe a [SE Satio] this time... Fully touch screen and totally boomz with a 12.1 MP camera and an external micro SD card tt can have a storage of 32 GB worth of data... 32 GB!!! Tt's 4x what I currently have!!! Woots!!! Ha~... I'm feeling kinda excited @ the mere mention of tt huge memory capactiy...

Of course, I shall check out the other phones tt're available or going to be available soon... Never know when I'll stumble upon another gem as good as this... Heh, actually, truth be told, I didn't really stumble upon this myself... It's thanks to a friend's recommendation la... Hyuu~...

Anyway, knowing tt my phone is beyond salvage liaozzz, I couldn't do anything abt it @ the moment, so I headed back to [Lot 1] to do some window shopping with [Sis]... Just checking out [Cotton On] and finding out how much those scarfs cost... Maybe I shall do some shopping today, find a black on @ a cheaper cost or if tt's not possible in [Orchard], I shall just get back to [Cotton On] and purchase 1 for $20...

The plan's still not concrete though... I'm still contemplating tt... Maybe [Dragonica], [MS], [Audi] and mahjong have a more powerful infulence on me such tt I might choose to stay home after all... LOL...

Anyway, it's the last day of 2009, maybe it's some unknown habit to look back and recap all those boomz and shingz moments in my life, post them here for all to see... But I'm not tt type of blogger... Or rather, the feel isn't there, not tt I can ever find the feel tt often already... For now though, to welcome the new year, I shall perhaps do a mini-restart, erase the desires tt can't be fullfilled and attempt to be a better person... After all, some things only will happen when you least expect it...

Orchard Conquered...

For the 1st time ever, a phone malfunctioned while it's still in my poession... I found my beloved [SE W960i] not responding to my finger taps on its touch screen in the morning of [Christmas' Eve]... Horrified, I tried to more tapping to see if it works and it responded only once in a while... Other than tt, the all precious touch function is dead...

As a result of tt, I can't copy my contacts to my SIM card and I don't even know why my SIM card has only like 9 slots of free memory left... I can't delete my SMSes from my [Inbox] as I can't click on the 'More' button... Thankfully, I can still SMS ppl as well as receive calls, though it's a little troublesome navigating using the scoll thingy @ the side of the phone...

[Dad] came home in the afternoon and he passed me the replacement phone which I didn't use it till [Fri], only to find tt it's a worse off phone despite it being touch screen capable and all... The messenging system is crap and it doesn't auto-capitalise the next word after every period... And changing the text input mode is equally horrible when there're 13 different inputs and you've to go thru everyone of it to get to whatever you want...

And the phonebook is utterly craptastic... It can't recognise any numbers w/o the '+65' in front of it, which means tt practically every number in my SIM card can't be identified if the person called... LOL... It's @ times like this tt I thanked [Heaven] tt I'm not tt freaking popular as I didn't commit most of the numbers to memory...

[Sat] was the day I decided to head all the way to [Wisma] to attempt to get my phone serviced... I arrived @ the service centre just before it opened (I didn't arrive like 30 mins before tt la) and when it's my turn to be attended to, I found out, to my absolute distaste, tt the servicing of my phone cost a freaking $120... Tt's the cost to replace the whole front portion of my phone... I didn't follow up with it anyway as my dad later told me tt servicing the phone @ [Yew Tee] cost a mere $80, and they even have a mth's warrenty lor...

Yes, so [Yew Tee] it is...

In the meantime, I've gotta head over to [Cineleisure] to meet up with [Ah Ming] and his clique...

Both of us were early, so we decided to take a little walk to the 4th floor via the lift as my friend was a little apprehensive of the height and I showed him the selection of food tt's available in [Suki Sushi]... Then we took the lift to the next lv to check out the movie timeslots as he actually planned to watch a movie, being in [Cineleisure] and all, might as well what...

LOL... The prob though was tt he intended to catch a movie alone, which to me seems totally fine... But apparently, his sis and later, [SL] thinks otherwise... Oh well, I've to admit in this case tt I'm slightly... Different...

Haha... So, yeah... [SL] met up with us and he was rather shocked tt it's only the 3 of us... For some reason, his clique all suddenly decide tt eating @ [Suki] and catching a movie on a [Sat] is simply too expensive and in addition, it's during [Christmas], so with all the present buying and spending time with tt special someone, there's not enough time and money...

Okay, it's a little mean to say this, but as long as [SL] turns up, I'm more than satisfied le la...

[SL] was also on a tight budget, so when he heard tt it's $23.55 per pax, he flipped... But I still managed to convinced him to eat it, thanks to my superb marketing skills...

We spent only 2 hrs there and really, if [YH] or [MJ] or both of them were even present, they'll really be snorting with disgust @ the amt of food the 3 of us are eating... Combined, I think it's hardly like 50% of what either [MJ] or [YH] is capable of eating...

Nonetheless, it's still time well spent... Friends what...

[Ah Ming] and [SL] headed to [Kino] while I made haste back to [Orchard Stn] to meet up with [XP]... We then tried our very best to head over to [Far East Plaza] as fast as possible as the sky was totally overcast and fat droplets of rain is already beginning to fall from the sky and splattering all over my clothes...

We made it in time... Heng arh!!!

Initially, I planned to take a walk @ both [Far East Plaza] and [313@Somerset] as the latter has just opened and I've yet to even set foot in there... In the end, though, we spent like 3 hrs in [Far East], looking @ most of the stores from the 1st to the 4th floor...

[XP] spent like $70+ in tt day, with a purchase of a pair of jeans and some belt with funky looking designs on it... I on the other hand, only spent on the [Suki Sushi] buffet earlier and the some desserts tt cost $1.50, when [XP] wanted to eat some fried wantons...

Did chat abt some lots of stuff and during the train ride home, I attempted to kill [XP] by boring her to death with my talk on everything [MapleStory]... LOL...

Then today, I headed back to [Orchard Road], though this time, I actually honoured my words and stepped foot into [313@Somerset]... Tagged along with [Mum] and tt's a good thing cause in the event tt I ever buy anything, I don't have to pay a single cent... Lalalala~...

[Marche] was what we had for lunch... It was a spur of the moment decision and I think it was fuel by the talks I've had with [XP] the other day abt rosti... Needless to say, tt's what I had, with a gigantic chicken cheese sausage to go along with it... It's amazing how it's being priced... Just the fried shredded potato with a sausage and sour cream cost like $12.90... GAH... Haha... Well, once in a long while, it's still okay la... Had a crepe after tt very filling rosti and tt made me even more full to the extent tt I'm feeling slightly bloated...

[Mum] left even before I'm done with the crepe, so she handed me $$$ to pay for whatever I've ate and went to walk around 1st... Once I've ingested tt crepe, I was contemplating ordering yet another cheese cake... But on 2nd thoughts, there's no pt stuffing myself silly just because I like the food... Besides, I do believe tt if I eat anymore, I'm so gonna puke la... -_-"'

I started my exploration of the entire mall from the 4th floor and [Harris] is interesting... I almost couldn't resist flipping through a romance series which I've been loosely following... Thankfully, I stopped myself in time and continued checking the other stores out...

The store with the huge tadpole as it's sign was interesting... I caught sight of a tee with the words 'Leopard Preens' on it... Wahahaha!!! Truly funny!!! And the staff of tt store are not only kinda cute, they also have this jester-like headgear tt upped their cute factor even more la!!! *Swoons*

Damn... I'm being man-crazy again... Sheesh!!!

Did saw some interesting tops which I might consider buying... Guess on my next trip out of my house, if I ever saw something similar to what I've seen today, I'll might buy it le... After all, [CNY] is coming and tt's usually an excuse to buy more clothes to expand my pathetic waredrobe...

[Mum] completed walking the mall 1st, so I've no choice but to meet up with her... We initially decided to head to [Food Republic] to have desserts and/or grab a drink... But the final outcome was tt I was doing dessert and [Mum] was doing an early dinner of prawn noodles... -_-"'

Was completely bloated after I've consumed my [Guka Malaka] tt I couldn't have a proper meal... So I decided to settle for yogurt once again and @ 2300 hrs, 4 hrs after I've ate tt delicious yogurt, I'm still freaking bloated!!! GAWD!!! -_-"'

Epic...

It has been 17 days since I've last done any blogging @ all... I would love to boast tt I've been totally busy, enjoying my hols to the max out of home, but as everyone knows, tt's not the case... To date, the number of outings which I've had hasn't even exceed the number of fingers of both of my hands...

After tml and next wk, I could add @ least another 2 more to the total count, but I guess tt's abt it... 10 outings in 5 wks is a little too much for me to handle... >_< size="5">ME... =P

The movie was just average, though I do not appreciate the girls @ the back of my row giggling and squealing like, well, teenage girls whenever hunky looking [Jacob Black] strips of his top @ every other scene... If I wanna see tt tonned fit body, I wouldn't even bother spending $6 to get into the movie theater... There is the Internet...

Apart from [Jacob Black], the [Volturi] have some rather good looking vamps too, like [Alec] and [Felix]... Ha~... And apart from all the seemingly good looking actors, another thing which I liked abt the vamps in the movie is their totally awesome dress sense... And how they're capable of looking so impeccable despite them sprinting away from chasing werewolves... *Envy*

Hmmm... With [New Moon] done, I shall now patiently wait for [Eclipse]...

2 [Sat]s ago, [The Gang] decided to use my home's kitchen as a cooking HQ...

[XP] and moi decided to do sui gaos and wantons, with [Yuling] chipping in to wrap them after she has completed her oreo cheesecake...

Oh, the mayhem... The destruction... The excitement... The fun!!!



Tantrums where also thrown... Haha!!! =D

And after all the cooking and stuffing ourselves silly with our home-cooked meal and feeling proud of our own achievements, we settled down to watch a romantic comedy - [The Proposal]...



And yeah, I couldn't resist drooling in my mind whenever [Rayn Reynolds] pops up in the screen... *Swoons*

And before the day is over, the most memorable moments are... *Drumrolls* [SH] camwhoring to the MAX!!! Behold...



And these AREN'T ALL the pics tt he took of himself... There're still a couple more, but I guess these pics are enough to drive home the point tt I'm trying to make... Tt his face DOMINATED the camera!!!

@ the end of the day, a group pic is a must!!!

Tt was close to 2 wks ago... 4 days ago, I met up with almost everyone again for dinner... But before tt, I decided to head over to sch 1st to complete my quest - 'Obtained Windows 7 Upgrade For Fujitsu Laptop'... A very simply quest tt requires travelling to sch and submit the relavent documents and viola!!! Quest complete...

So I met up with [MJ] in the afternoon... [YH] and [XP] tagged along as well, with the former joining us only for lunch while the latter decided to join us as she has to return to sch to return some stuff which she accidentally koped during her kendo camp...



Initially, I wanted to have prata @ [The Cheese Prata Shop]... But upon arriving @ the place, all 4 of us found out tt the staff are having a company gathering for 2 days, from 21 Dec to 22 Dec, and therefore, they won't be open for business!!! -_-"'

So, after I've gotten over my disappointment, we've to find an alternative way to satisfy our rumbling stomach... By heading to the nearest canteen available... [FASS]!!!



Once lunch was over, [YH] have to head back home to do some cooking, so we went to complete our quests before deciding how on Earth are we gonna head over to town as cheaply as possible, while trying to waste as much time as possible till 1730 hrs...

The solution??? Bus no. 33 from [Kent Ridge Terminal]... We took the bus all the way to [Bugis]... Only to discover tt another quest awaits!!! We now have to get [MJ] a replacement footware as hers chose to spoil @ tt moment... So we entered [BHG] and searched for decent footware to replace her LOUSY [Rubi] flats... *Hints*

Got a pair of [Levi's] flip flops for $19.90 and off we go to [Orchard]!!! Took a little walk in B4 of [Ion Orchard]... Our intention was to look @ the food till we're hungry... But for my case, my eyes stumbled over the sight of hunky [Adam Chen], [MediaCorp] actor... LOL!!! 'Nuff said...

*Sigh* Thogh now tt I think abt it, I should've secretly snapped a pic of him la!!! Wasted and sadded...

Met up with almost all of them @ [Paragon] and I allowed my camera to do a little work 1st as warm-up...



[Darrell] was @ the entrance of [Sakura] when we arrived... So after making the payments and settling how much each individual should pay, with the exception of [MJ] as we're treating her, we attacked the food as if we're hungry ghosts tt've been just realised from the gates of hell... Well, mostly [MJ], [YH], [YQ] and [Cass] la... The rest of us are not tt much of a big eater... LOL...

Just look @ the amt of food tt we took during the 1st round!!! GOSH!!!

While slowly enjoying out food...



LOL... And since this outing is sorta to celebrate the 1 b-day gals - [YH] and [MJ], [YQ] attempted to sing the b-day song in the choir way with disastrous results... I doubt I'm able to upload the vid on [PhotoBucket] and import it here as the file's quite big... So I've to settle with uploading it on [FaceBook] instead...

And look!!! We also got them some cheesecake...

LOL... Ya la... It's from the buffet de la... =P

Once the hilarious attempt to sing the song has concluded, it's time to atk the cake!!!

W/o [SH] being around, there's no lack of amusement, as [YQ] and [Cass] have proven...



Ha~... And once we bid each other farewell, [YQ], [Cass], [Yuling], [MJ] and I attempted to take 190 back home... After missing 3 buses because they're fully packed, we were abt to change out mind and take 700A instead when the next 190 came and we were able to squeeze in... the squeezing continued even till the stop opposite [Lucky Plaza]... Apparently, those commuters @ tt stop thought they have every right to board the bus after missing @ least 3 buses, by refusing to not board the bus even though it's filled to the brim with ppl, demanding tt we attempt to move to and make space... HA!!! We're solids, for crying out loud... We can't be compressed... Sheesh!!!

In the end, I spent 90 mins getting home FROM ORCHARD ROAD!!! I'd really just take the train... -_-"'

The following day is the release of the results for my finals... I was rather nervous, thanks to [MKT1003] and the nature of the tests (all of them) were slightly different in the sense tt there are only on average 5 questions per paper and each question pack TONS of marks... So if you screw 1 question up... You will be screwed...

No wonder I'm finding tt I'm a little lacking in confidence... And so does [SL], from his not-too-distant status update on [FaceBook]...

Anyway, when I tried to gain access to the website tt'll reveal my grades, I seemed to have stumbled some... Problems... It's not until [MJ] told me tt I don't have to access the craptastic [VPNClient] 1st tt I'm able to retrieve my results... LOL... Really, the new system seems kinda troublesome...

Okay, okay... *Drumrolls again*



I got a C+ for [MKT1003], which is good enough as I really don't have much hope of acing tt subject... A pass is all tt I ask for... As for the rest of my modules as well as my CAP so far, well, I'm simply very pleased with what I've achieved...

*Pats on back* I shall keep up the good work!!!
