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!

random post

enjoying my life so far.

i am now getting myself familiarised with a new sch, new environment, new classmates, and new hall.

yesterday i was looking through my old files to see if i can throw away any waste paper or useless notes/worksheets, i came across this piece of paper with some scribblings.

these scribblings are cheesy lines extracted from a chinese movie which starred gu tian le, gigi leung and charlene choi.

the first part:

浪漫是要一辈子记得的
浪漫是出轨的，是冒险的
浪漫是不实在，不认真的

and the second part:

不同的花代表不同的语言
不同的数目代表不同的意思

一朵代表唯一

两朵代表二人世界

三朵代表我爱你

四朵代表海誓山盟

五朵代表无怨无悔

六朵代表称心如意

七朵代表无尽祝福

八朵代表请你原谅

九朵代表天长地久

十朵代表十全十美

十一朵代表一心一意

十二朵代表心心相印

for guys, nx time u can say all these to hao2 xiao2 ur gf or the girl that u wanna woo. haha.

back from camp

finally, i am back from the freaking tiring 4 days 3 nights physical education orientation camp.

actually i haven been to alot of camps.

let's see.

i went to the pri 3 camp. i went to this youth camp organised by cdac when i was in pri five or six. i went for the canoeing camp when i was in sec 3. i went to student leadership camp when i was in tjc year 1. that camp was damn siong and damn tiring. i nv get involved in any camps at all when i was in uni, be it as a freshie or as a senior. so plus this pe camp, i think the total number of camps i have went to can use the fingers on my hands to count.

if you ask me which camp is the most siong one, it must be the student leadership camp at tjc. that one is simply terkan camp. it tests our leadership abilty and also stretch our physical limits to the maximum.

the pe camp is not as siong, but its also quite tiring. i injured my arm, and my whole body is aching. so i decided not to go for dance this evening, and i told mike that i INJURED my arm, but hor, this piece of news get blown out of proportion, and everybody thought that i BROKE my arm. haha.

so let me recap wat i did for the whole camp.

first day nothing much, just get to noe everyone in my og, come up with a og cheer, and then make our og mascot. the og cheer is very garang, we copy a bit from the new zealand all blacks. if you dunno who they are, they are the new zealand rugby national team players, and their jerseys are black in color. they are very garang, and before they play their match, they will always do a war cry to boost their morale and scare the shit out of opponents.



doing this cheer is quite tiring also lah. imagine hor we go play telematch or games, then got 10 stations, then the station master of every single station want us to show them the cheer, so we will like do at least ten times everyday. -_-'''

second day have to wake up very early for the initiation run, led by singapore track legend c.kunalan. the seniors say that he already sixty plus years old, still can complete 2.4 in ten min plus. this is simply crazy.

after the initiation run is amazing race, around the whole ntu. my group si bei siao on. on flat ground, we jog, only on up slope, then we walk.

up next is sports clinic, where we learn and play different sports. got soccer, touch rugby, handball, ultimate frisbee, floorball and this very interesting sport called tchoukball.



tchoukball is getting more and more popular. taiwan is the reigning world champion for 13 years. right now singapore is 2nd best in asia. the tchoukball national team player that came down to teach us say that he wanna set up a tchoukball team in nie, and so i sign up for it. hopefully i can represent singapore in this sport? haha.

third day is a whole day of exercise again. got land telematch, water telematch and war games. the war games is damn fun. but damn ugly and aggressive also. i shall not elaborate much about it here. those who want to noe wat i did can just come and ask me. and hor it is during the war games that i INJURED my right arm.

finally on the last day, which is a sunday, we played games of frisbee, floorball and tchoukball in the morning. then afternoon bye bye and go home liao.

i am now super shag, and sch is starting tmr! :'(

anyway tmr onwards i will be staying in hall le. those who wanna meet up at boon lay for makan sessions at night feel free to jio me.

why so serious

just watched the movie with darling at jurong point.

i must say heath ledger is damn good. his 出色的演技 as joker really stands out, to the extent that batman is being overshadowed by him.

its such a pity that health ledger died young.

batman is very poor thing in the movie, because he forever have to live in the darkness, where pple in gotham city thinks that he is a criminal or an outlaw. he is willing to sacrifice his hero status in exchange for the city's safety, which i think is very noble.

hope there will be a part 3 coming up, but its a pity that there will be no more joker. even if there is, i believe no one can ever surpass heath ledger.

-----------------------------------------------

and this is my 600th post!

join me in the applause!

*clap clap clap*

599th post

so this is my 599th post. cant believe i had blog for so long, and blog so much!

well this blog has been around for 3 years. and it has attracted lots of visitors. i thank my friends who has visited my blog regularly. hopefully my blog got entertain you one way or another. haha.

i have now embarked into my new phase of life. it feels good to be a student once again. the only bad thing is got to do assignments and must study for exams.

i will be very busy for the next few days. tomorrow watching dark knight with darling! yay! i am going to see for myself how good heath ledger is. then thur until sunday is the camp for the pe pple. have to stay overnight. :(

not that i mind staying overnight, but just that fri night i got dance prac, and sat night i going to watch the wind of shaolin with my mum at esplanade. hopefully can chum siong with them to release me on fri and sat night. and then sun evening got dance again, all the way from five thirty to ten pm! wah lao damn siong.

anyway i checked into hall already. my roomie is a moe prc scholar. hoho. i shall not say any comments. i will just observe.

and i browse through the hall website. the facilities are cool! i am going to enjoy using them. their CCAs are cool too! i think i am going to join sepak takraw and soccer. i am so itching to play takraw. maybe i will want to try out the ntu takraw ivp also.

and if i really got the time, i can join their dance. ntu wushu is another option. although their wushu is the 传统 type, which is not my cup of tea.

thanks again to everyone who have been patronizing my blog!

memorable farewell

finally the day has come.

early in the morning, i walked into the sch, stopped in my tracks for a few seconds, and took a whole glimpse of the sch. finally, i told myself, i have "graduated". with flying colours i suppose? haha. there is this saying that goes: if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. =p

started the day by going up to my sec 4 express pure chem class for their remedial. my last remedial with them. my upper study very nice, told the whole class that today is my last day, and ask them to give me a round of applause, which they duly obliged. i am very touched. i always enjoyed teaching this class, although sometimes they are very noisy and for that i am quite pissed with them, but after a short while i am ok with them already.

the morning bell rang. so i headed to the parade square for morning assembly. my last time standing there, taking attendance for my form class.

and the rest of the day in sch was bidding farewell to my colleagues, my kids and taking photos.

this lady is my jie jie. haha. she teaches history and english. she is always pissed with me because i always lower down the temperature of the air con. cos i pe teacher mah, everytime after pe lesson when i go back to the staffroom, i always feel very hot, so i will just lower the temperature to 22 degree celsius. then she very afraid of cold, so she will keep complaining and complaining. but all these are done in a good natured way lah. haha.

for that, i always will help her da bao food if i am going outside to eat. cos our canteen food is not really nice, and she is now pregnant, so not convenient for her to go to the coffee shop outside the sch to eat, cos its actually quite far. and she is one lady that really dun look like her age. first time i saw her i thought she is in her mid twenties. but hor she is actually 31! her 保养功夫 is amazing.

and then i always borrow stapler from her, and she got label her stapler with her name, so i always tease her for that. she gave me a farewell present, and no prizes given for guessing correctly wat she gave me.

haha. damn cool. i very touched. :)

my upper study treated me lunch at tung lok! wow!!! cos she said i helped her alot for chem, esp when she was away for maternity leave. at first she ask me wat i wanna eat. so i jokingly said tung lok. but actually she treat me burger king or macdonald i also happy! really! i seriously din expect her to bring me to tung lok, until when she drove me and another colleague to the restaurant. wah lao i was so shocked. haha. then the other colleague keep suanning me for being so greedy. so i quickly tell her go to the hk cafe which is nearby also can, but she dun want, and insist to bring me to tung lok. =p

the food there is nice! but the food come very slow. :(

we ordered this tofu dish which is very special and tasty. on top of the tofu got one layer of spinach which is very nice. we also ordered scallops with xo sauce, 干扁四季豆, fried noodles, har gao and 凤爪. wow so filling.

because the food come very slow, i was late for my last wushu training with my kids. i was late for half an hour. my captain really improved alot. he can now do 侧空翻. so amazing. so he very show off, and keep doing and doing. haha cannot blame him lah. if i noe how to do, i will also do exactly the same thing. =p

after the wushu training, i went to bathe, and prepare for round 2 of the farewell celebrations. this time is a treat by the pe department. we went to this very nice cafe, which have very nice desserts!

dessert in cups. 3 for four dollars eighty cents. yellow one is mango, purple one is blueberry, the brown one is oreo. taste ok only, not very fantastic.



my dessert! the pink one is strawberry tofu! taste very nice and special.



grasshopper mud pie.




you have to order this if you are a chocolate lover. the name is oozing dark chocolate. at first the whole dessert look 平平无奇. but the moment you make a hole in the cake, the dark chocolate will flow out like lava coming out from a volcano, then u eat the dark chocolate together with the vanilla ice cream, wah lao, best combination, 绝配.

this burger is damn big. and the main attraction is the chicken patty. very juicy, very meaty, and the sauce enhance the flavour of the meat by ten times.

i love my colleagues in the pe dept. i think the whole dept is very cohesive, and all of us are very 爽快 and cooperative, and we can get things done sui sui and chop chop. :)

after eating the desserts, its round 3 at pasir ris beach. i am like 跑七月歌台. haha. the kids who went to su-ra-ba-ya with me planned a farewell party cum bbq session.

of course i was very happy and touched, but then got some 不愉快的事情. cos the main group of pple who planned this farewell party buay song two small groups of pple, and just happen that the two small groups of pple also quite close to me. so they just want to go to the party and say bye bye to me, but they are not allowed to go. so one of them very sad, and cried, and went back home. haiz.

ok let's get back to the bbq session. took lots of pics.

i like the following two pics:

it is like we buay song each other with some bbq issues, but seriously speaking, there is no such thing! i wonder who was the photographer that captured this two candid shots. haha.

this two wonderful boys are actually triplets! they dun look alike rite? the third one is studying in dunman high.

finally, a group photo before we leave:

and then, is round 4. meet up with this small group of female students that are super hiao2, plus one more boy. they make a very nice and GIGANTIC card for me.

ok i think that's all. reach home at about 12 midnight. super tired and shag. but very very happy, because of wat everyone had done to make my farewell memorable. thanks to the pple who bought me gifts and cakes. oh and also thanks to the pple who sent me well wishes by sms. appreciate it. :)

i will miss everyone! and i will go back on teacher's day. :)
