spring villa

this is a place in yilan that i plan to stay when i go for my taiwan trip in december. the place is so nice and so cool and the pictures that i am going to show will tell a thousand words.

first, is the attractive rooms. their rooms got different themes.

望月套房

蓝蓝海湾套房

梦幻爱丽丝套房

维多利亚套房

and they have even more attractive rooms, which can be found here:

the surroundings of the villa:

i dun mind staying there for the rest of my life. =p

birthday parties

went for huishi's birthday party. she set the theme as cartoon, so must go to the party dressed as a cartoon character, or wear something cartoon. if nv wear cartoon, then got forfeit, which is wear a mask of barney the dinosaur, and take pic with huishi.

at first i thought of asking someone to be snow white, then the rest of us be dwarfs, by wearing woollen hats and putting on the 夜宴 white costumes.

nominee for snow white (dun look at the guy) :

and the dwarf:

the actual representation of snow white & 7 dwarfs:

i think we will scare the residents of the condo plus the guests of the birthday party if all of us turn up like that. haha. then security will call police, police come and noe wat happen, and they join the party instead. then since they are not wearing cartoon attire, they must wear the barney mask and take picture with huishi. yay. ok sorry no link.

anyway this whole dressing up thingy a bit hard to pull through, cos all of us got dance practises almost every night. no time to prepare costume. and the costume must borrow from this dance troupe, which is quite a sensitive issue. so in the end all of us just wear our own clothes.

check out my new batman t-shirt! i bought for 19 bucks only! cheap and good deal. haha. and hor the backdrop is made by the birthday girl leh. very 细心 rite. btw the birthday girl is the one in black with mickey mouse ears.

only stayed for a short while because have to rush to my grandma's birthday party. a fabulous buffet was catered, and the buffet is super ex, cost 22 bucks per pax. the buffet got chilli crab, garlic prawns, and even shark fin soup!

i played with my little cute cousins, and lift them very high, using the dance pdd moves that i learnt. haha. and they all very happy, and want me to keep lifting them again and again. -_-''

haiz sian i din get to watch the ndp. hope can catch the repeat telecast on tv.

fully-packed day

today is rag. but i cant get to watch, because i got lesson at 1030 to 1130, and i also got to attend the national day celebrations at nie.

this morning woke up at 6 am, and quickly rush down to src to find darling to give her one final encouragement. bought some stuff for her to eat cos i noe she will be damn hungry. wanted to buy mac breakfast for her, but when i reach engine mac the queue very long... sian... so i bought some nonya kueh for her instead.

reached src at about 810, i stayed there until 910, and quickly rush back to nie for my lesson.

took some photos:

src. stand for wat i also forgot already. students' recreational centre? this is the place where i performed for rag in 2006, run like nobody's business during road relay trainings, and many many other memories.

my hall's float. i think it looks fabulous. but the floats that really caught my eye is the pharmarcy float and sheares hall float.

congrats to biz and kr for being the overall winners for fac and hall respectively.

reach nie at around 1020. heng ah nv late. when i was at nus, i always turn up late. but hor in nie the lecturers very particular about punctuality, and they will make an effort to remember your name. so must not be late, otherwise they will have a bad impression of you, and you will score low marks for assignments and exams.

played a fun game of mini tennis. the module is called principle of games. very fun module, with a very fun lecturer. he always say we must experience the two f words in this module, which is FUN and FITNESS.

lesson ended, and i quickly rush back to hall to shower and eat lunch. as i had said just now, later in the afternoon got national day celebrations. the main highlight for this celebration is this program called p-r-o-j-e-c-t r-u-n-w-a-y. this is a project whereby got different groups, each group have to design a costume, and the theme for the costume is "blazing the trail" and must also be in line with YOG. then after designing the costume, must find a model to wear it, and then the models of all the different groups will do a catwalk on the stage, showcasing their costumes.

i was very tempted to pontend this activity to go see rag, BUT it just happen that my group's costume is with me in my room. so i LL cannot pontend. haiz.

before the p-r-o-j-e-c-t r-u-n-w-a-y, there is actually this march past, and i, together with majority of my pe class, plus alot of other pple, make up the marching contingent. dun ask me why i kenna, but got benefit, cos got a free shirt and free track pants.

and now i showcase to you, the fun pple from my class:

my class got alot of sport talents. got singapore national netball player, trialathlete, lifeguard, bball sch team players, tae kwan do black belt, windsurfer, ex obs instructor, ex army regular, ex firewoman, wushu exponent (me lah of course), and the list goes on and on. damn cool rite?

pics of the project runway:

quality quite lousy, cos i was standing quite far, and have to use optical zoom to the max. then alot of pple in front of me, so can only take the upper half body of the models, the lower half are the heads of the audience in front of me.

once i get better and clearer pics i will post them up.

after the whole thing, went to meet darling. she look super shag and tired. and she told me everybody cried after the whole presentation. haiz so poor thing.

went to her house to have yummy food cooked by her mum. we planned a bit of our itinery for the taiwan trip, and i left her house at nine pm, cos she is super tired and want to sleep early.

tomorrow going to two birthday parties! one is my fren from nus chi dance, and the other is my grandma.

ok that's all, have a good weekend everyone! for the floaters and float dancers, dun think so much anymore and have a good rest to recuperate yourselves for the new semester.

homecoming

went back to kevii to watch the float presentation for the alumni. saw many familiar faces, and its great seeing them again. did alot of catching up and started planning on gatherings.

the float look very nice, with quite a few interesting mechanisms. just that when the door open still can see the floaters scurrying inside. a bit unsightly. haha. hope on that day this wun happen.

when i saw darling, i got quite a shock. her face painting is damn fierce lah!

so hor i ask hw to take a pic of me with yueting.

and he purposely zoom in to her face. -_-'''

anyway darling this is for you:

"每个女孩都是天使, 当她落下第一滴眼泪时, 上帝就收回她的翅膀. 所以, 世间的男孩都知道, 当你面前的女孩为你落下第一滴眼泪时... 她巳经为你放弃了整个天堂."

see darling, whenever u cry because me, you have to forsake heaven leh... i dun want to you to forsake heaven, neither i want you to cry...

i noe i cant stop you if your tears flow, so the best i can do is treat you well, love you all i can, so that you wun have a single chance to cry anymore le, ok?

love you, muackz!

ok very mushy i noe. haha.

travelling

went to natas fair this morning with two of my army friends.

alot of pple, alot of travel agencies, alot of freebies, quite a few pretty girls.

when i walk out of the natas fair, i am 1900 bucks poorer.

so its been confirmed.

3rd to 9th Dec: HK & Macau (with my army friends)

22nd to 28th Dec: Taiwan (with darling)

both trips free and easy. for taiwan i am going to be ambitious. i am not going to stay in taipei for all the 7 days. i am going to venture to ilan, hualien and taichung. i am going to stay in farm, mountain resort and hot spring hotel. haha.

i think choosing her as the ambassador for taiwan is a brilliant choice.

looking forward to the dec holidays!!!

going to the zoo!

before going there, i went to the singapore zoo website to download their recommended itinery.

and off we go! :)

i think its been like ten years since i went to the zoo. i only went to night safari, which was last year december. but night safari nothing much to see one.

the moment we step into the "wild", we were quite scared. scared that the animals will suddenly jump out and bite us or scratch us or pang sai on us. so every single movement that i spotted among the bushes i will immediately jump up, and also scare darling in the process. haha. but as the day goes on, i got less sensitive and less paranoid.

so the first thing we see is this statue of a crocodile. darling think it is a statue, but i think it is a real live crocodile. and in fact it is a real crocodile, cos when we were leaving the zoo and walk past that place again, that crocodile was missing. must be a live one lah, unless the zoo staff move it away cos it is a statue.

next up is polar bear!

presenting to you the max height that a polar bear can reach if it stand on its hind feet.

haha i like the way darling tip her head upwards. =p

in sg zoo, only got two polar bears. one is sheba, she is a female, and the other one is inuka, who is sheba's son. sheba is born on valentine's day 1976, and inuka is born in sg by sheba on 26 dec 1990. how i noe all these? cos the zoo presenter say one, and she is quite cute. haha. but darling is definitely more cute.

we went to splash amphitheatre for a animal show which showcase penguins, dugong and sealion. this is where me and darling took our first couple pic, thanks to this very motherly ang mor. once she finish taking our photo she say "ohhhh wat a sweet couple".

the reason why it is called splash amphitheatre becos the naughty sealion will jump into the water and splash the super dirty water to the audience, so those sitting or standing right at the front kenna. me and darling were standing right in front, so we kenna until super shiok. some of the water even kenna my lips. damn disgusting.

the next interesting animal that we went to see is the white tiger. there were 3 white tigers. but hor only 2 white tigers were being adopted by a beverage company and a airline. wat about the 3rd white tiger?

we went to eat lunch at kfc. after lunch we went to take a couple pic on our own.

you see rite, when you want to set timer hor, the light will flash slowly, then when time is going to be up, light will flash faster, then no more light, means take finish already rite?

so rite we waited until no more light. then darling stood up and went to check the pic. and then hor in a split second the flash from the camera came. -_-'''

very funny reaction from me. this is really an ultimate candid shot.

ok the next try we succeeded. :)

other pics we took:

so at the end of the whole zoo trip, we went to eat ben and jerry. the ice cream is damn rich and sweet, but in such hot weather, better not eat ben and jerry ice cream. will be even more thirsty. eat ice kachang or drink ice lemon tea will do. haha.

all rite that's all. for those who havent been to the zoo for dunno how many donkey years, do make a trip there! it will be very fun!
