Off to South Africa...

Wow, a week gone?

The past week has been busy but nevertheless fruitful...

Tuesday was spent with JM and FS for a post-bdae celebration for JM... We caught the "The Ant Bully" and I felt nostalgic about my childhood suddenly. Still remember the days when I will use my Lego sets to build up a maze to store ants in them... I will feed them with sugar and also sweet oranges... Obviously mum does not approve it and I have to shift the whole maze out of my home... Every morning, I will go check on them if they are still fine... Till one day, I realised it was gone!!! It was taken away by the garbage collector!!! I got so sad and mad that my parents tried to chase the truck but to no avail... Click here to read more about this movie: The Ant Bully

Wednesday's night was spent in NUS Guild House for a farewell dinner for Kenneth (flown off onFriday night) and Jason who will be heading down to Europe for their exchange stint. Apart from them, it was like a farewell dinner for N and C (absent) who were leaving IRO as staffs... Like what Samanta says: it was like a SA (Student Associates) Unity gathering...haz... A question here: Will you pay 5k for a lifetime membership for NUS Guild House (both on campus and also in Suntec City)? haahaaz...

Thursday was spent with my fellow SoCians who have graduated at ktv... Great to see them again after so long...

Met up with JQ on saturday and he's hoping I will bring someone along... but I din..haha

Time for dinner...

The 7th Month...

It seems that lunar 7th month is a time when the conditions of the old and frial seem to deteriorate for the worst. While some survive, others do not... If I look around my estate, it seems that this is so true when u see wakes sprouting up. My uncle did not win the battle either and was called home to the Lord (he's a christian) 3 days ago.

Went for the wake last night; cousin ling who was standing beside me told me his dad left peacefully. The whole family was at his bedside when he passed on... At the age of 78, he left behind 19 bubbly grandchildren... 4 of which just flew back from Aussieland 2 nights ago...

Time to get ready to go for the last day of the wake. Ciaoz

Thank you!

Thank you Nic and ZY too! =)

Week 0...

The previous week has been busy prior to the commencement of a new academic year... Met up with Eric, gotten some stuff from IKEA, preparation for FYP, attended Toni's bdae, CSS carnival etc etc etc... Rag day was held last week too; and it was the first time I ever attended one as a student in NUS... -)Here are some of the photos:

National Day Parade 2006

Feeling Patriotic?

Lunch was with Ziwei who has been teaching mathematics at NJC for the past 2.5 years... If any of his students is reading this post, I need to tell you that you have gotten yourself one of the best math teachers around... Apart from passion, he is totally dedicated to teach his students well... He said that his priority will always be his students, the rest can wait... We need to have more of such teachers around and some who are only joining the profession for stable monetary returns...

Headed down to Istana Open House thereafter ... For those visiting istana any time soon, be forewarn that the distance from the gate to the main Istana building is NOT short... Here are some drawings from our young and jovial kids...









Think I should start to utilise my DH domain space soon to house my photographs...haha

ORDed!

Haz... finally see my pink IC after 89 days. It had been a long day which commences with buying food back for my campmates and encik... After going through all the necessary administrative procedures, I finally get to hold my pink IC again... However, I guess the degree of euphoria was greater when I disrupted 3 years ago...

Did some shopping in town before having dinner with Luke, JC and SQ... Had a good laugh over coffee on the interesting things that had happened in camp during 3 years ago and also anecdotes from our lives...

Time to pack up the mess in my room... -)

South African Pictures

This post is specially for Enick, Lin Jing and Luke who will be heading down to South Africa for overseas exercise in South Africa end of this month... Photos are taken by Chee Meng who have went South Africa a few months back... -).

Refreshing 9 hours of Sleep!

Woke up feeling very refresh this morning. It was quite sometime ago that I have had 9 hours of sleep. Past few days had been fruitful...

Thursday: Met up with aussie friends in town and had a fun time catching up... Thanks for Jolene for getting me the S.H.E pictorial book from China. Is really nice of her to remember... Marketplace at Raffles Shopping Centre is now opened with Piper's Pies - Authentic Aussie Pies... And Glenn said they have "Shepherd Pie" which was my nightmare, especially so when it is Michael who prepare it... And I had to haf it for dinner the first day and also LAST night in Aussie... How lucky can I get?

Friday: Met my cousin YL at Suntec for dinner but I ended up waiting for her hours which I spend running errands for her, bought a blazer which was on 50% disocunt and had my most expensive haircut ever for 20 bucks... I wanted to walked over to CityLink for the swift 10 bucks cut but I was too lethargic as I was still waiting to have dinner with her... Saw a sign outside Kimarie that is 20 bucks for Men's cut and decided to go for it... It was a good experience as they actually shampoo and blow your hair dry before and after the cut... =). Finally at 9PM, I dad dinner thereafter at Indinne with my cousin and karen sister

Saturday: Spent on graduation photography with ZY... It was tiring but I am veri satisfied with majority of the shots... Met up with HH thereafter and we all headed to watch Lake House... My dream house resemble it and there is only one place in Singapore which resemble it... But is kind of beyond my financial capability at the moment... But I do have the aussie version of it at Apollo Bay, here it is: The Ocean House!

Sunday: Recuperation Day...

Monday: Finally had a dinner with JM and FS ever since the holidays started...

Tuesday: Went over to god-sister house to take a look at the scrapbooks she had done up... They were beautiful but I think it is an expensive hobby... Thanks for the cardigan and bottle... I like them a lot... -)

Oh yeap, will be attending the IMF event in September... Amu and Sha will be going too... -) Pretty interested in the World Development Report 2007 which will be launched then too... Think I have taken up some interests in developmental issues after writing the NIRAS essay... -)
