Welcome to Dollywood

I hate changes!

2011-11-30T14:45:00.004+08:00

I used to hate going to work when I first started off as a SOIC in PSA.It was pretty tough yearning for respect from the more experienced oldies sitting in front of me. And its more tough to not feel bothered by the harsh working enviroment everyday.

As time passed, I got to know the people in the control as well the ground. Things got easier and work became less dreadful. Slowly, I mastered the skills of a SOIC and gotten used of working with the same old people every now and then. Work became an important part of my life. Work became fun.

However, things changed.I got promoted to SDM. Frankly speaking, I hated it. Maybe its like my journey of becoming a SOIC and things will get better. But I still hate it. Firstly, they have to change my entire group of ppl whom I was so used to working with, the people who are my friends.It might sounds gay but I really missed Fiona. She was kinda my motivation to work back then.

I am not saying that the new group of people are not good or what, they are definitely a fine bunch of fun-loving people. They are awesome out of work. As of at work, they are just as new as me, desperately seeking recognition from people around. It is really a difficult task trying to seek recognition from people and gain respect all over again. I dont feel the power which supposedly comes with the title. In fact, I feel sucky after every shift and I hate the fact that I know I haven't earn the respect from most yet. It is easy to tell.

And the worse thing is, SDM hardly get recoginized. SOIC get praised for a good shift while SDM get blamed for a lousy one.

Oh wells. I am sure things will get better. As for now, I shall work hard to be an awesome SDM. You never know, maybe one year later, I will be posting how awesome it is to be an SDM and not wanting to promote to AM.

Jealous and Lost

2011-10-13T15:18:00.002+08:00

My boyfriend left for India this morning for 28 days. It is actually not that long nor that short. But, ever since his Norway exchange in 2008, we haven't part for so long....

Oh wells. Despite him complaining about how sucky India will be, I am sure he is gonna have a great time. As for me, I shall work hard and slogged in Singapore. *Secretly wishing that I can go on a work trip too.*

Missing you already=) Be safe.

Get well soon

2011-08-08T20:20:00.003+08:00

My mum is sick again. She has to be admitted for observation.

I am currently at TTS hospital waiting for the
nurses to arrange a ward for my mum. It is pretty depressing here. Seeing sick and old ppl groan in pain and waiting aimlessly for an arrangement.

Worse of all, I just overheard a conversation between a nurse and an old uncle. The uncle complaining that he had been waiting at the arrangement area since 4pm. That is freaking 4.5hrs. I hope we don't have to wait so long because there is no freaking seats here for visitors.

All in all, I hope my mum will get well soon.

Malacca Road Trip

2011-07-29T16:52:00.002+08:00

Meleka Road Trip With the old Simpsons Clique feat Alex, Chong Mend, Denis, Jun Wei and Me.

Its not the first time for most of us thus, sightseeing was sort of out of our plans. And thus, we are left with shopping and eating.

Hmm.. maybe because there were 4 guys and only 1 girl, shopping was down to minimal too. And all we did was eat!!!

Let me explain how our trip went...

Day 01
We set off from Alex's house with Alex being our designated driver for the trip.
We crossed the causeway and entered Malaysia, missed the slip road to the NS highway.
We sort of found our way back onto the highway with a partially pre-downloaded google map from my iphone.

We stopover at Yong Peng for breakfast or maybe brunch(at 11plus). Bought some snacks and carried on with our journey. Arrived at our Hotel, Equitorial Hotel. There was some problems with the check-in thus the hungry ass guys finished the snacks they bought while waiting for Alex to settle our check-in.

Finally we were checked in. And since the delay was due to some 'internal problems', we were upgraded to a better room, a club suite I think, with the choice of city view of sea view. Alex and I chose the one with the seaview, totally disappointing as there was not much of a view. The sea was sooooooo far away at the extreme corner.

However, the room was great. It was spacious and the pillows were extremely soft...=) Anyway, After check-in, we went on to the famous chicken rice ball stall at around 1plus. After having our lunch, we went on to have deserts (chendol etc). On the way we picked up some durian snacks and some drinks.

Then we proceeded back to the hotel, showered and headed out for dinner. We had Zhi Char, ordering like typical Singaporeans, too much to finish.

After dinner, we headed to Jonker Street for a walk. Nothing much to buy, we headed back to the hotel for a short break. I fell asleep. Alex woke me up and dragged all of us down to Capitol Satay for supper. As much as I felt like sleeping, I was glad he woke me up.

The satay steamboat was really nice and special. No wonder there was still a queue at 2am.

After that, we had some beer and bananas back in hotel before heading to bed.

Day 02
We started the day with international buffet from our hotel. Followed by a short one hour shopping and then again, we went to eat. We went to A&W=)

With that we ended our adventure in Meleka and headed back to Singapore. Guess what?!
Yup, we stopped over at Johor for dinner, Abalone noodles and durian for deserts.=)

And finally yes, we ended our foodies road trip in Malaysia.

All in all, I would just like to let whoever is actually reading my blog knows, all these time in Malaysia, we were never hungry other than maybe our first meal at yong peng.

Photos are here

Gotta start exercising!!!

2011-07-26T09:47:00.000+08:00

I haven't been exercising for months. It's time to start getting fit. Though I haven't gain much weight, I have been losing much muscles and gaining those flabby fats. Hmm... Lazy still...

Preparing for the Death Cycle

2011-06-20T18:37:00.003+08:00

Today is the last day of my 5 days OFF and also the last day before my death cycle.
For the next seven days, I will be working six. For the next week, I will be working 72hours.

I just hope it is not as tough as it sounds.

*Jia You*

Japan - Tokyo May 2011

2011-06-17T11:07:00.017+08:00

Tokyo May 2011

Most people wonder why we decided to travel to Japan after the Quake, when everybody still lives in fear. First, the airfares are super cheap and since Japan is a country in my must-go list,why not go now. Anyway, I can assure that it is totally safe to travel to Tokyo and everything seems normal.

Tokyo - City life
Tokyo is so much alike Singapore. Skyscrapers, lotsa shopping mall and many things to eat.

The things that are different are that they have ridiculously many people everywhere at anytime of the day. But at least there have more better looking human beings than we have here. So no harm braving through the crowd very noww and then.=)

Also, their houses are really like those seen in Doraemon or Crayon Shin Chan, tiny landed property with paper looking doors.

Next, I would say they have tasty food and the most creative way of selling them < in a vending machine>

For me, it is kinda a Little waste for me to go Japan. It is because I can't eat most of the delicious looking food. I am a picky eater, I don't take vegetables, raw or fishy stuff. Thus, I am always eating Ramen and tempura in Japan.

Anyway, I did tried the really expensive sushi(7 pieces for SGD$60) in Tsukiji Fish Market. Sorry to all sushi lover out there, I puked out a SGD$12 sushi. Lucky Alex, he happily finish all, other than the Tamago Sushi.=)

Also, we met Hachiko!!! The faithful dog who waits for his owner to return everyday.

Check Tokyo part 1 and Tokyo Part 2 out for more photos.

Tokyo - DisneySea

We figured since we have been to Disneyland Paris, why not DisneySea. Once again the no. of people there is crazy. Luckily, Japanese are sooo efficient, the queues although long, were quickly shorten with the efficiency of the theme park and their staffs.

It is really quite insane on how much Japanese worship Mickey and friends. They are willing to wait for 50mins just to take a picture with Mickey Mascot. And most people even bought Mickey's teddy bears. Duffy (ダッフィー) and Shellie May (シェリーメイ), exclusive to DisneySea at the Tokyo Disney Resort.

It is so insane that every 10 patrons in DisneySea, 7 will be carrying one or sometimes even five. Their passion for Disney even influenced Alex. He wanted to buy Duffy and Shellie too?! I would not deny that they are adorable but..... but... I am not the fluffy stuffed toys kinda girl. So We decided not to buy.

Check out DisneySea for more photos.

Tokyo - Hakone

We made a side trip<2D1N> to Hakone to check out Mount Fuji. Too bad it is not the season for Fuji climbing thus, we took the all kinds of transport just to catch a glimpse of Fuji-san.

Day 1
We went on the train, cable car, river cruise but to no avail due to the bad weather.
This is all we can see.

Fortunately, we booked a Ryokan with our private onsen for the night. Check out the photos and you will know how heavenly we felt in the freezing cold weather.

check Hakone out for for photos.

Day 2
We decided to head to Gotemba Factory outlet. We spent quite alittle at the outlet. I even bought my first really expensive bag from Coach. This is the bag.

And this are all the things we bought. < Coach, Burberry, Lacoste,Adidas, Gap and many more>

http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The best things we get from going to Gotemba Oulet are not only the shopping items but is the full view of Fuji-san. Weather was awesome and Fuji-san is magnificent.

For more Fuji-san, check this out.

Long awaiting update

2011-06-17T09:46:00.008+08:00

Once again, a very long pause between 2 adjacent posts. I guess with the creation of Facebook and introduction of whatapps, conveying how you felt to the world has become 10x easier. Thus, blogging seems to become less appealing, at least to me.

Anyway, what has changed since my last post A.K.A 3 months ago. First and yes, I am STILL in PSA after May. I cannot deny that the thought of quitting did come into my mind. Being in operations, the amount of stress you handle on a daily basis and the abnormal working hours is something most people cannot get used to. This is especially true for those without companion at work. I am lucky that I have Fiona, my BFF A.K.A toilet buddy at work. So when I heard that she is going to change to another group, worse my blind group, meaning we won't be working together for the longest time, I thought of quitting. Anyway, our roster is based on a grouping system, so you will usually be working with the people in your group and sometimes adjacent groups. Fortunate enough, the management decided to not separate the buddies.

And of course, one other reason why I able to stay till now and even lose any idea of changing my job, is because of a great boss. I would say that he is the best boss anyone can ask for. I am not trying to 拍马屁 or what but without even mentioning his name, I am sure all my Psa colleagues know who I am referring to. I don't think I can find a better boss elsewhere.

Okays. Enough of work talk. Hmm.. Where have I been the last 3 months other than PSA. Me and Alex went to Japan for a 6 day trip. More about Japan coming up next :)

为了我们的 Future

2011-03-14T13:04:00.002+08:00

As the title suggest,all for our future.

Last few days we have been busy planning on our future. HOwever, no much outcome has come out of it. We still can't really comfirm if we should wait for another BTO or get an EC.

Sigh.. Life is tough. If only hosuing is cheaper or salary is higher. Dream on... =(

Oh wells. like what many will say. 船到桥头自然直。

Crossroads of life

2011-03-09T17:52:00.002+08:00

Age 24 and I am finally facing my little crossroad of life. It isnt as simply as playing the game of lifr, spinning the correct number and deciding your life.

First, which type of house to buy?

BTO - my fav yet least fav type of housing.I love that it's cheap so that we can get a bigger and splurge on renovation. However, a new BTO takes forever to build or even get selected.

DBSS-least fav of all. Pay the extra money for things we dont need. It is not exactly any faster than a BTO. And a the inbuild stuff make it hard to design your own unique home.

EC - expensive but more worth it than DBSS and prob shorter waiting time than BTO. As much as I like the idea of full facilities, I don't know if it will be tough to pay bills not.

Next crossroad will be my career. Working in PSA is no doubt fun but really super tiring. I m really not certain if I should continue working in PSA or find another job. I am just too lazy to find another job. Heh heh.

Next crossroad will be whether to tell you or not. Since I have posted it here, I have decided. Deardear, I have something to tell you and it is important.

Loves,
Eileen

My Ups & Downs

2011-01-29T18:02:00.003+08:00

These few days I have been pretty down thinking of my National Team Final Selection. I went through quite alot of trouble, causing ppl inconvienence to finally able to swop my shift. Thanks Tim and Shange for making it happened.

However, what I didnt know was the selection results were out and there is no final selection. As much as I know how unfit and lousy I have became, I was still hoping for miracle to happen. Karen once told me when we were at Australia NTL 2 years ago,:" I think if you continue training hard, you will become a good player."

I guess I did not train hard enough. After IVP last yr, I basically stopped trg to concentrate on Final Year stuff. Found a job shortly after, soon after, there was little time available for training without feeling exhausted.Oh wells, I guess my Touch Glory days are over, so are my plans for Europe.

However, like what I told Alex, I think God or whoever is looking over us seems doting on me. After the annoucement of not being selected,I was given free food, free shopping and the company of friends and Wii.Free food from Ippudo Japanese Restaurant and free shopping at Mandarin Gallery.=)

Basically we were treated like VIPs at Mandarin Gallery. Our meals at Ippudo was charged to Mandarin Hotel.And there was people dressed in smart black giving out $50 vouchers to the VIPs. Vouchers can be used in almost any store in Mandarin Gallery.Most importantly, no minimum purchase.

After that we went to EMax Cineleisure and Wii our night away. =)

I feel much better now. Thank you.

Sad-ed

2011-01-27T11:17:00.002+08:00

Feeling pretty down today. I don't really know why.

I guess mainly is because I m afraid to face the reality. My dream of returning to the National Team seems really slim. As much as I don't want to admit, the one NTU captain is now no different from other laoyapok players. I just can't keep up with the pace after stopping touch for more than 6 mths. It's like my 6 yrs of hardworking and effort just disappeared.

The worse thing is with my irregular working hours, I m always tired and distracted. :( oh wells. Final selection is this sat. Trying to get someone to cover my shift is like begging someone to adopt pui pui without a head.

One thing good and bad about this job is you can to see how selfless and how selfish ppl can get. Some ppl can just be so understanding to help you out when need them to, despite it's not in their call of duty. Some ppl can generously provide you resources when they know that you need it more that they do. And some ppl are simply nice without complaints.

The bad thing is you can to see how selfish some ppl can get. Despite helping them before, trying to get help from them is like trying to buy pui pui without head and legs. Some ppl hogged resources and only share when their pockets are not big enough. Some ppl always expect favors yet never return. Some ppl are just simply thiefs, stealing your resources to save themselves. Some ppl are just understanding.

Morale of the story is that with the pile of selfish ppl, will I be able to change my shift?

Will I be selected?'

Fantastic Operator and Wos

2011-01-17T23:17:00.002+08:00

Today, I realized that as much as I would like to stay superior to all, I still prefer to be nice and friendly to all.
I was once told an officer Aka me shouldn't get too close to the operators as it might somehow invoke jealously of those who were left behind. And it happened once last time to whomever I don't know. An officer was being complained of bias-ness Aka favorism etc to a particular operator Aka his friend. And what happened to the both of them is... I seriously have no idea.

Back to my topic, today I realized that no matter how true the above incident may be, I still think tt there's no harm making a friend or two in this harsh and stressful environment. It's because of friends, you will be more willing to go to work. It's because of friend, you will be more willing to push that extra mile without wanting anything in return.

K.. And C.., although I know nobody actually read my blog, Still thank you for going tt extra mile when you guys could hv just leave n go home after a sucky day of multiple strokings. Still, you guys did well today and thank you.

National Team Dilemma

2011-01-16T22:43:00.002+08:00

The month of Jan 2011. Big Selection for National Team. I dont exactly think I can make it to the last 2 trainings due to work but I'll try my best to change shift or what.

As much as I dont want to accept the fact that I have de-proved since my NTU days, I have. And together with working shift work, I am afraid that I might lose my spot in the National Team. Sob sob.

I am just not as fast and alert on the field like I used to. And my stamina sucks!!! In addition, I am always lack of sufficient rest due to my irregular work cycle. I have already went straight to training a couple of times after my night shift and puke a couple of times after or during training. My health is not catching up with all the expectation to perform. =(

Nowadays, everyone kept asking me to quit my job. As much as I agree with them about the no life part, I am still not ready to quit. Not just yet I guess.

We shall see.......

What A Hectic Night

2010-11-08T23:25:00.003+08:00

Yawnz. Last night was pretty bad at work. Spent the whole night trying to solve problems. Every single vessel that berthed at our berth seems to have a problem. It was really tiring trying to solve the problems and pleased everyone else.

Oh wells. Terrible vessel M***. 1st time berthing in Singapore, maiden voyage we called. Terrible voyage i think. Although I am only 4 months old at work, I have nv done a vessel quite like that. The stowage plan was almost totally wrong. I believed 80% of the plan are not accurate. It was terrible. We were trying to sail a vessel which we have no idea what was installed.

In addition, something went wrong with the yard plan. It was somehow not downloaded into the system and thus, we have been busy assigning yard locations on top of all other jobs.

On top of that, another vessel M.A encountered some last minute problem after completion of work. Some damaged reefer container needed to be discharged. Oh wells.

If that's not worse enough, there an accident case I have to handle. =( Worse of all, the driver that caused the accident was not even from my terminal?!!! He was from terminal 2 and he bloodly hell made a wrong turn into my area. Oh Wells. Some people will say: "Wrong Place, Wrong Time."

Bad Night could be worse without help of my fellow colleages.
1) SDM Emily - Help me solve the planning for vessel M***
2) SPU Hua Ge - Helping me replan the ship plan the entire night
3) YOC Goh - Super nice. Volunteered to help me catered the yard cranes
4) SOC David - Solved many problems. Without him, I am practically dead (However, attitude could have been alittle better=))
5) Area I/C Razak - Handled wharfside without complaints. Only mentioned once that Vessel M* has 80 steps. lol (Sorry Razak, I cant imagine how many times i made you climb those steps.)
6) Best Pal Fiona - Totally supportive throughout the night. Still stay back with me till like 12pm. Love=)

Phew! It's over.

Finally! Booked=)

2010-10-28T22:44:00.002+08:00

After Thinking and searching for the best offers and avoiding natural disasters, I have finally booked out travelling tickets. =) Secret Birthday Treat.

Phew. I felt like a kiasu Auntie who had just successfully grabbed a roll of toilet papers through a pile of expensive or impractical toilet rolls. Lol. But it really does feels scary and tiring to book and decide a trip on your own. I mean it is difficult for me as all of you may or may not notice, I am pretty clumsy and blur in many ways. Oh wells.

Where Where Where?

2010-10-20T22:49:00.002+08:00

Deardear's birthday is coming!!!

We are going for a getaway. But I totally cant make up my mind on where we should go!!!

My initial plan was to go somewhere really exoctic, visit some asian tribes or ulu islands. But it seems unrealistic, given that we only have 4 days to travel. Oh wells.

So now, I have narrowed down my choices to places which are soooooooooo much easier to get there. Still, I can't make up my mind on which one to choose.

I don't mind going anyone of the cities of my choice. *Sigh* If only we can travel to all with price of one.

*Scratch my head*

Where should we go?

Some nice footwear I would love to own=)

Busy Busy Busy

2010-09-13T18:24:00.002+08:00

Quite caught up with work recently. Still tuning my body clock to the Day Night OFF OFF cycle. Most of my offs were spent snoozing in my bed, thus I kinda missed out on posting.

Anyway, most ppl reacted to my work schedule with a "Wow! you working shift arh. Must be damn tiring la!" However some think that my schedule is super slack with 2 days work and 2 days off. Actually both are wrong to a certain extent. Working shift is actually not as tiring, there's always off to compensate. However, when your off day becomes a working day which happens all the time, that's when things get super shag. DAY NIGHT OFF OFF will become DAY NIGHT NIGHT OFF or DAY DAY NIGHT OFFwhich means you are practically working 3 days and off half a day since night shift eats into the following day.

And I forgot to mention that our working day/night is 12 hour each and each 3 DGOO cycles will be accompanied by a standby day(10hours work) So for those who envy my working hours, do the math, I prob do more working hours than you in a month.=(

Yup, end of the little intro of my work schedule.=)

Happy Birthday Rusty

2010-08-31T00:38:00.003+08:00

This Post is alittle outdated. ANyway, Rusty turned 4 this 28 August 2010.

We (mainly Alex) baked a peanut butter + ham birthday cake=) Rusty loves the cake. He couldn't resists but to sneak attack the cake before we could sing him a Birthday song or even cut the cake.Nonetheless, we are just happy that Rusty loves the cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSTY!!!

Ah Tiongs Vs Blangla

2010-08-08T20:00:00.003+08:00

I have decided to write this post because I was awaken by a group of ah tiongs moving in to the unit directly above my house. The worse thing is they have to do it the day after my night shift! They were rather loud and rude, demanded us to shift our cars so that they can park a giant lorry right at my door step and pass their stuff(in those black trash bag) through the window. I don't know if I should say that they are innovative or just simply lazy.

Anyway, back to the topic. Ah tiongs Vs Blangla. Reasons on why they are not welcomed.

Ah Tiongs
-Loud and Rude
-Dirty and unhygenic (Spitting/littering)
-Dangerous riding of bicycle as if they are back at home

Blangla
- Se Mi Mi everytime
- Always in a big group

Can't believe I am going to say this but if I were to choose, I rather have more Blanglas than Tiongs Tiongs. At least blangla are the secretly irritating ones while tiongs are the loud and rude ones. One point for Blangla *Ting Ting*

Anyway, I once saw a documentary on foreign workers in Singapore aka Blangla. It kinda change my impression of them at least alittle. The Morale of the story is Friends are more important than Money. The film showcase the friendships of the foreign workers. Though they are all relatively poor and saving up money to send home every month, they are more than willing to lend money to their friends when in need. And by money, I don't mean $50 or what, sometimes they are willing to lend like their one mth salary.

I mean for someone who's eating white rice with veg curry almost everyday, I would not expect this kind of friendship. But anyway, I am really impressed and will never give the disgusted look when I spot them holding hands etc. Way the go Blanglas=)

Shi Du, Beijing

2010-08-04T13:50:00.004+08:00

Shi Du, China.

Shi Du, 十渡, as the name suggested, is the tenth valley. There's many other valleys but we heard that tenth is best. And true enough, we had lotsa fun there.

Shi Du is a simple and relaxing place, four hour train ride from BeiJing City. We had a farmstay for 1D2N with the most amazing and friendly people on earth. We stayed at You San Jia Yuan, and everyone there is just simple and welcoming.

The accomodation, though not like any of the 5stars hotels available in Beijing, it is simple, clean and well equipped with hot shower and TV. Most importantly, It only costed like SGD6 for one night for 4 of us. Do your Math and you will realised how cheap it really really is.

Another awesome thing was the food!!! I still remember our first night at Shidu, we ate at the homestyle restaurant owned by You San Uncle, the same person who provided us with the farmstay. The waitress asked: "Do you guys want to eat grilled fish?" And we were like :" Ya, that will be great." And next thing we knew, she brought us out to the pond outside, made us choose one, caught it and killed it right in front of us. It was pretty cool. And the fish tasted amazing.

The next day, we ordered Grilled half Lamb for dinner before heading out for our moring activity. Anyway, we went for whitewater rafting. The rush was super mild but nonetheless, still very fun. Because all of us were well-equipped with our water guns and Alex with his water pail. =) Yup, wewere threnched when we hit the finish line.

Later on, we went mountain climbing. It was tiring and scary at times. The only regret was that we didn't reach the peak. We ran out of time. They have people there to lock the gate to the peak at certain time. =( Anyway, it was still pretty fun.

So we came back and guess what we saw?! A living goat tied to a tree near our restaurant. Sob Sob. Feel kinda bad. We were pretty sure the grilled lamb we are having later on used to be his/her brother or sister or friend. But anyway, the grilled lamb was really nice.=)

So all I want say is that Shidu is an awesome place, so give it a try if you are travelling to China.=)

Check out the link here. It is in Chinese though.

Graduation Trip Part 1

2010-07-31T17:23:00.009+08:00

May 29 - June 19 2010

We decided to go to China, Beijing followed by South Korea, Seoul for our grad trip.

CHINA, BEIJING - ALEX, EILEEN, JUN WEI, WEN QI

Arrived on 29 May 2010 via Air China. Our flight got delayed at Changi Airport for about 2-3 hours. It was not as bad as it seems actually. Alex brought me around the airport and for the first time I actually enjoyed the fact that my flight is being delayed. Changi Airport was amazing cool with all the well hidden Movie halls and Gaming rooms. In addition, the Sunflower Roof Garden was super pretty. Maybe I am 'Sua Gu', but I have never seen sooo many Sunflowers before!!!=)

Anyway, China was pretty fun and obviously super cheap!!! The bad parts were that the food are super salty and the toilet are simply disgusting. I can't stand the fact that China people refused to close the toilet doors while doing their business. It's disgusting walking pass rows of cubicles with people staring at you while squating down doing whatever I don't want to see. I know that most doors doesn't come with proper locks but why cant they TRY to even close the damn door?! Urghh.. It's just disgusting. And the design of some toilet is just amazing. *Rolled eyes* Check out the pic below and you will understand. Adn this is not the worse, I have seen those without the seperators.

Toilet At Hutong

Let's talk about some of the must-dos as well as other interesting things we've done.

Must-DOs:

1) The Great Wall of China, Simatai.
I think think we walked 10km? Anyway, it really is as beautiful as shown on TV.

2) Tiananmen, 天安门
The place where there's a big potrait of MaoZeDong on the wall.

3) Forbidden City,故宫.
The Chinese Palace.

4) Hutong.
One of the most well preserved homes of the Chinese. This is one of my favourite part of Beijing actually.

5)Wang Fu Jing.
The shopping district kinda like our Orchard Road and the food street, 东华门夜市 where creepy crawlies and little sparrows are deemed as savoury snacks.

6)Beijing Zoo, 北京动物园.
The home of the cute little Pandas.

7) Sanlitun, the night scene.
We went to MIX aka 'Mi-Ke-Si to the Chinese' as recommended by our hotel Staff. I think it's really awesome, the music was great, pepole are enjoying themselves. The only bad thing was to try to translate the names of the alchol to Chinese and we failed to do so. In the end, we just let the bartendar decide.

8)Huan Le Gu, the Chinese Version of Disneyland apparently.
It was actually better than we expected. The rides and the queueing time were decent. The admission is reasonable and the food is cheap. Basically nothing much to complain about=)

9) ShiDu, a rural town out of Beijing.
I thought we all had the most fun@Shidu. More on Shidu coming up in the next post.

Anyway, for more pictures on Beijing, click on the link below.

Once again. I am blogging again.

2010-07-31T17:18:00.002+08:00

Since I am doing shiftwork now. I guess I would have more time to blog. Hopefully I will be able to keep dollywood alive for long.

Anyway, here's a liitle updates of my life.

- I have finally graduated from NTU Mechanical Engineering
- I have found a job@ PSA as Operation Excutive
- I am currently trying out for the Touch Football National Team.
and many many more.

More updates coming on. Check out the latest posts.=)

What a Great Day=)

2010-05-26T22:53:00.002+08:00

As the title suggests. The day is great.

First great thingy, my never working self-balancing scooter is finally WORKING!!! Yay! This FYP project is nothing but problems until today. Actually I do enjoy doing this project but it's really quite time-consuming especially with a stubbprn machine who always brake down at the wrong time. And also when something is almost right, another thingy will go wrong. Phew, it's all over=)Bye Bye BOOMZ Bike.

Next, Wenqi sent me a link today apparently from the computer ganius friend, HouYuan. I have no idea how he did it but apparently he kinda found out there's a leak in the NTU Results system. We are supposed to know our results at the coming midnight but he sent a link which actually allows you to check is you have graduated with honours or not. ANd I got a honours!!! Yay. Yay. Yay. Awesome=)

Life as a whole now

2010-05-19T13:16:00.002+08:00

Hmm... Life is kinda weird now hanging in the middle of graduating from NTU. I supposed I could be considered as graduated after my FYP presentation, I even went to Batam with the Eid clique a few days ago. *Sigh* But my self-balancing scooter is spoilt!!! So I can't fully enjoy my so called freedom till that thing is fixed. *Sob*

Anyway, I'll be leaving for Beijing with Alex(hopefully), Wenqi and Junwei on 29May2010. And heading to Korea from Beijing with Alex on 10June2010.It's like next week. But we only have our air tix booked and nothing else planned. It's so frustrating that everyone is just waiting for others to plan for them, of course including me. Oh wells. The gathering of the lazy people, I guess this is not a surprise. Hope everything will turn out fine.

As for the 'hopefully'beside Alex's name, was because of the bombshell he dropped on me yesterday. He said he might not be able to go for the trip because of some work thingy thingy la. It's kinda ridulous when the company approved your leave and then kinda tell you that you cant enjoy your leave till you finish a certain amount of work.*Sigh*

It's kinda weird if Alex can't go. I can't possibly go alone to Korea. I can't speak Korean and their Ah Ju Ma are known for bullying people. I cna't really think of who can I ask to take Alex's place. First choice is Alex sister. We can go Korea for Shopping together. Should be awesome. Second choice maybe Clarence. He probably will be free to go. And it will be fun too. Or at least not awkward.=) *Sigh* Too bad Desmond is going Kazastan. If not maybe I can tag along. *Sob* *Sob*

Blog Revival Once again

2010-05-19T13:12:00.003+08:00

Like what the title said. Blog revival. ONCE AGAIN.

Heeez. I'll try to maintain the blog this time(Though I said the same thing before).=)
Oh wells, I guess I am just not that kind of person who can log on to the computer to write down your feelings or just activities every single day. Call me lazy but this is who I am=)

So Morale of the story is: "I'll try my best to maintain my blog."=)

'Are You Okay' Quiz

Beansprout Monster

2009-09-15T23:43:00.002+08:00

There's plants growing out of my sink!!! I have no idea how it get into my sink and how it actually grows out of it in such a sunlight deprived area. All I know is it's all the way down the sink. Can totally see the roots of the beansprout monster through the little holes of the sink drainage.

Take a look at this:

Opps! Not this. This is Pui Pui Tranny.

The Return of the Cheer Retirees

2009-09-12T21:02:00.001+08:00

Never felt so tired in cheer for a long time. I guess I haven't really been involved in Unisus lately until last Thurs. Lydia was not there and I am kinda the only flyer ready for training. Haha. It was kinda fun thou, demostrating to the freshies, teaching them and more importantly, getting the Cheer Retirees into action. =)

Zhi Yang aka Six yr lao cheerboy, headed straight into action once training started.... All the way till break on 3. Good job Goatie, I guess you really miss cheering=)

Alex aka the magical backspot and Junwei aka the weak shoulders did nothing till maybe one hour before cheer ended But It looked like they had fun. =)

Good job, myself, for bringing the lazy bums back. =)

The Real Reason Behind Revival

2009-09-09T01:33:00.003+08:00

As the title stated, I revived my blog because of certain reasons.

1) Coz I have nothing better to do
2) I feel that alot of the people around me are venting their emotions on their blogs, so should I.

There it goes,

I feel sorry for you, for you being wrongly accused as a bad friend. Accusing you for being a friend whom does not care for an old friend, friend who has been deemed a disappoint by an old friend. And A friend who is letting go of a supposed friendship. All I could say is I've got your back , my friend.

For you who accused my friend, you who are also a friend, evaluate yourself before you do that to others. For all you know, friendship is a two-way relationship. There should always be gives and takes. BUt in your world, you could only see the takes.

Friendship can always be salvage if you are willing to take that extra step. For all you might think why are you making the extra step, and not anyone else. The reason is because you cherish the friendship more than ever and that will then make you a best friend.

Ho Chi Minh City

2009-05-26T17:17:00.002+08:00

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

The Land of motocycle and hectic reckless drivers. For people who have been to HCMC, you will probably agree with me. Traffic are ridiculously busy there. I have no idea where did all the vechicles come from?! Oh wells.

HCMC is mainly our 'transit' location. Our resting point between travelling to Mekong Delta, Mui Ne and Nha Trang, all within 8 hours bus ride from HCMC. HCMC is mainly for shopping and food i guess. Go to Binh Tay Market (Chinatown) if you all looking for wholesale prices-cheap!!! =) Try street food instead of restaurants.=)

Nothing much to comment about HCMC. Just another Bangkok-like city are but less developed.

Phnom Penh

2009-05-21T17:05:00.002+08:00

Heading to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

We took a 4 hours bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh was a total different experience compared to Siem Reap. Good thing we decided to splurge on our accommodation. We decided to stay in a french owned resort style hotel- The Pavilion. We booked a room with private pool!!! It was great to have your own pool but more importantly, a beautiful room and a comfy bed.=)

So Day 1:
We arrived at The Pavilion. Chill alittle, dived into the greatness of our private pool.=) Then we headed out to explore the area. We walked along the riverfront, where many locals chilled out. It's nice seeing people playing badminton, linedancing along the riverfront and the small park opp the Royal Palace. We walked into a dark alley which leads to a local market, where groceries and cheap roadside stalls were everywhere. We had dinner in one of the roadside stalls. Food was acceptable, sugarcane was great and they definitely overcharged us. Still, we merely paid 3USD for the 2 of us, which is way cheaper than any restaurants along the riverfront. Anyway, we bought a durian and headed back.=)

Day 2:
We visited 2 markets before heading down to the Cheung EK Killing Fields. The place was nothing much but slightly exciting. Like this is the first time we see a human skull in person, and there's so many of them!!! Other than that, it's nothing much. There's just many holes with labels stated as mass graves for different victims.

However, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum was more emotional. A school was converted into Cambodia's most important prison in 1975. More than 14,000 people were tortured here before being killed at the Killing Fields south of Phnom Penh; only 8 prisoners made it out alive. Classrooms were converted into prison cells as well as interrogation rooms. Pictures of the victims were eveywhere.

All in all, the killing fields and the museum were merely the scar of the tragedy. What was interesting was the history behind the mass killing. Read up about Khmer Rouge if you are interested.

Check out Phnom Penh @ here

Siem Reap

2009-05-20T13:52:00.002+08:00

Hi Peeps. Sorry for disappearing. Have been too lazy to blog. Anyway, I have just returned from a 2 week Cambodia-Vietnam trip.

First stop: Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap is my favourite city during this trip. I fell in love with it's majestic Angkor Wat and it laid back way of living.

Day 1:

We went to the Old Market. It was quite disappointing though. I can't deny the fact that they sell everything in the old market. From groceries to clothes, from shoes to bags, from baskets to hats. You name it, they have it. However, none are of our interest, or at least their fashion are kinda outdated. Oh wells. Still it's worth taking a look.

Later at night, we went to Pub Street for dinner at Khmer Kitchen, recommended by our hotel as well as our Tuk Tuk driver. Food was great, price was reasonable. Anyway, must try dish in Siem Reap: Amok. It's similar to curry but not spicy and it's really good. Oh, Pub Street is where all the tourists hang out at night, with lines of restaurants and bars.

After dinner, we went to the Angkor noon and night market, just next to each other. Things were amazingly cheap there but you definitely have to bargain. Totally regretted not buying more. =( Oh, we went for the Fish Therapy thingy with fishes eating off the dead skin cells from our feet or something like that. We paid 3USD=4.50SGD for 15min per person. It was really ticklish and funny to see how Alex whine and plead if he can remove his feet from the water. Haha.

Day 2:

We went to the Famous Angkor Wat at 5.30am. It is said that Angkor Wat has the best view of the Sun Rising. I guess I don't really know how to appreciate the beauty of Sunrise but I think the review was overrated. The sunrise was definitely stunning but not incredibly stunning.

Going through the temples, understanding the history of the Khmer was quite amazing. The abandon temples though filled with tourists, still holds the presence of history behind the sculptures and cravings on the wall, each tell different story. Little local kids can be seen everywhere, trying to sell everything from refreshments to scarves, as well as their services as tour guides. I am really amazed be how many languages the Cambodians speak. Most of the kids speak not only the their first language but also English and Chinese. Some even understand Korean.

Finally, back to pub street for dinner. We had Cambodian BBQ-Yummy=) Then back to night market for some bargains=)

Stress

2009-04-08T14:08:00.003+08:00

*StreSS*

Alot has been going through my mind recently. With exams drawing closer, things has just been alittle stressful lately.

I can only hope I will do well for my exams since I did not put in as much effort as I should. However, I'll give my best for the last dash. Wish me luck.

Looking forward towards my after exam trip too. Going to a short Southeast Asia Backpacking Trip. It was original a foursome tour but 2 person dropped out so it's just you and me.=) Oh wells, I think it will be fun plus everything will be so cheap compared to our last trip to Europe.

Anyway, for the curious people out there, we will be touring Cambodia, Vietnam and Bangkok. Looking forward to see the killing grounds and the stacks of skulls in Cambodia, the floating markets and beautiful beaches in Vietnam. And who could forget, the shopping spree in Bangkok. Woohoo...=)

Before I end things, something has been quite in my mind for sometime. It's Sari. As in not that I am missing her or what. I am just very grateful to something she did somehow. Sari suggested to Chris Wall(coach) that I should play in the middle instead of the wings. Hmm.. Although I should say I am more of a link person but I would definitely rather play middle than wing. It may be just a suggestion from Sari but it's really nice of her to kinda 'stand up for me.

Will see how things turns out in training after exams. Hopefully I wont screwed up my chance to play in the middle. Thanks Sari. You have always been so encouraging.

Venice

2009-03-30T22:59:00.003+08:00

NexT Stop: Beautiful VENICE

Venice was a really beautiful and peaceful town. MAybe alittle too peaceful at night. Still, the day manage to win me over. Walking through the narrow little lanes, passing by so many souvenir shops, and of course gelato shops.

The little canals passing through the houses were just magnificent I think. I like the way houses are build above water, and LOVE the bridges. No idea. I think I have this thing with crossing mini bridges. It's just so wonderful.

Also, the gondolas were so pretty despite many irritating failure attempts to trick us into. Hmm.. You may wonder why didn't I take the gondola right since I am in one of the most romantic cities with my beloved Alex. Hmm.. I guess just being able to so much time with him alone in foreign land is just as romantic. Besides, the gondolas are just pretty but totally overpriced. 80 euros for an hour.

Finally, I have to mention that the venetian masks are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful. I am so falling in love with them. I can't help but to buy one despite paying alittle more than what I pay for a souvenir. Oh wells, some what more. =) But I have never regret buying it. It's my favourite souvenir ever.

Pisa

2009-02-19T14:04:00.006+08:00

Next stop: Pisa, Italy

Pisa is one of the smallest city we visited. It kinda have nothing much there except for the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and some Duomo. Hmm.. It was kinda just like a 'wow' when we saw the leaning tower and then 'what's next'. Yup. We spent about one afternoon at Pisa but I totally think it's more than enough.

Yup that's all I could say about Pisa I guess. Oh, I bought a Zara Jacket and a vest from Pisa. Guess it's still not as boring as it may seems.

Oh I forgot to mention that our HOtel was duper cool, Hotel De Rosa. Almost everything in the room was remote controllable. We had alot of fun just exploring the room. =)

I'll upload the rest of the photo to facebook later.

Florence

2009-02-19T13:44:00.004+08:00

Next stop: Florence, Italy

Florence is more of a stopover for us but it was nice in it's own way. Lotsa shopping and Galeto!!!

Florence don't really have that many attractions compared to Rome. As usual, we visited the churches and Duomo. However, one of the most memorable attractions was definitey the statue of David created by Michelangelo. We have to climbed up to the hill top to get a glimpse of the famous David and the the entire Florence.

ALso, Ponte Vecchio the oldest and most famous bridge over the Arno which the only Florentine bridge to survive WW2. The Ponte Vecchio (literally "old bridge") is lined with shops, traditionally mostly jewellers since the days of the Medici. It's like hmm.. the bridge beside Admiralty MRT station, with shops lined up. Only that Ponte Vecchio is probably 20 times bigger and a thousand times more grand.

For me, Florence is more of a shopping town, be it luxury or substandard goods. Oh, I bought my first winter coat in Florence for 120 SGD.=)

I'll upload the rest of the photo to facebook later.

Rome

2009-02-19T13:04:00.006+08:00

Ten thousand years since I blog again. So many things to blog so little time to not laze around. Oh wells. Shall continue with my trip.

Next is Rome, Italy

Rome was beautiful in the historica ways. There were ruins everywhere and their Colosseum was magnificiant. We went to like so many historical sites, The Roman Forum, Forum of Augustus and some muesuems and churches.

Most memorable attraction must be St Peter Basilica. It is really the biggest church in the world I guess. It's HUGE!!! Seriously. It's where the Pope resides. So I think you can kinda imagine how big and beautiful it will be. We climbed 350 steps up the Basilica and had a great view of the entire Rome.

Another highlight was the Vatican's Scavi Tour, which goes beneath St. Peter's Basilica to the tomb of Saint Peter. Firstly it was great because it's a tour which only allows 120 visitors a day and it must be booked months before. However, we got our tickets ike only a week before. How fortunate.=)

Anyway, it started with us waiting outsie the Excavations Office for our guide. We then followed him inside and down a staircase. He then scanned and a glass door opened. There we dug under a low and narrow arch in a 16th-century wall that supports the basilica, we walked along a dimly lit lane lined with Christian and pagan mausoleums. The higlight of the tour would be getting to see the tomb of St Peter's tomb, with a wall saying: " Peter is here". That's when people know he's there. I m not exactly church person but I knew it was totally worth it.

Some other famous attractions are famous Fontana di Trevi, the most beautiful fountain in world, at least to me it is. It was soooooo big and just beautiful. We made wishes=) We also went to the famous Spanish Steps which was kinda basically some steps. Heez. However, it's kinda 'romantic' to walk up the steps with you counting each and every steps.

Guess what we ate in Rome? Hezz. Lotsa Pasta, Pizza and most importantly Galeto aka home made Italian Ice cream. We ate like 2 scoops of Galeto everyday, sometime even more. The ice cream was... omg. It's just soooooooo nice and you are definitely spoilt for choices. Oh wells, my favorite flavour is Mandarine=)

Oh wells, there's soo many things to talked about. But I don't really wanna write a grandfather story so here you go. These are the highlights for me=)

2009-01-20T23:45:00.002+08:00

How I wish I wasn't so clingy.

Anyway, you did not give me any reaction after I apologised for accidentally kicking you. I was waiting for you to at least say it's ok. But you were barely looking at me. That's rude so I got angry. I don't think I deserve that.

I know you are in alot of pain. That doesnt mean you have the right to make people who cares about you, suffer with you. I am here trying to make your life better and I didn't even get a 'thanks'. And here you are blaming me for being angry.

I really don't know what you want. Would you rather I had leave you alone in your room the entire time?

All I want was to take good care of you. Really=(

Kiruna

2009-01-17T02:59:00.005+08:00

KIRUNA, SWEDEN

Kiruna! One of my favorite city and also the coldest.

For starters, Kiruna is in the Artic circle. We were there for like 4 days 3 nights. The sun rises at 10:30am and set at 11:30am on average. It's ridulous right?! Heez. There's what we get in Kiruna. They have about seven months of winter each year.

Oh wells, Kiruna is a pretty peaceful town with snow piled up to my knee level. Anyway, Our main objective there was to do the Huskies sledding and we did. Super cool, and cold.

Fisrtly, we get to help the doggies into their harness and hold on to them while the guide added more doggies to our sled. It was kinda cute. You can totally heard the dog howling like nobody business especially those in the cage. I guess they wanna be part of the team too.=)

Secondly, we get to ride the sled in pairs, taking turns to control the doggies. Controlling the doggies was pretty easy, combating the coldness was dyingly awful. We were dragged by the doggies at -30 dgree celsius. So cold till Our camera freezed?!! We couldn't take alot of pictures as a result.

Thirly, our bogger were forzen too. Felt alittle digusting though. Heez. Our cheeks were covered with little ice flakes too. All in all, the experience was alittle overpriced and painful but totally worth it.

Finally, after sledding through the cold, we had some warm fish soup-Kiruna style in a warm hut with a fireplace.

Check Kiruna and me out @ here and here

Stockholm

2009-01-17T02:15:00.006+08:00

Hey peeps, I apologise for the late updates again.
There you go, the next city after Bergen.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

Stockholm was more of a stopover for us. We spent one night at Stockholm before heading out to Kiruna.

Actually there's nothing really memorable due to the time constraint. We didn't really get to explore the city.

However, the most memorable thing that happened to me in this past 2 months was Chou Chou aka Stinky. He's a new addition to my family tree. We bought him from a souvenir shop in Stockholm. He's a cute little furry moose with nostrils like Pui Pui's.

By the way, he's not stinky at all. The reason why we named him chou chou was because the first word Alex said when he entered the shop was: " Heng Chou."

Alex and Chou Chou

Chou Chou

Yup. End of story. Check Stockholm and me out @ here

Back in action

2009-01-15T16:08:00.002+08:00

I am back

Hey peeps, I am back from my trip. I apologize for the slow updates. As you can see, I am kinda having the time of my life, no time for blogging.=) Oh wells, good thing I am back I guess. Now I'll have more time to spare in front of my laptop.=)

Will keep you guys updated soon.

Loves, Eileen

Bergen

2008-12-13T09:44:00.002+08:00

Hi people. I have visited 3 new cities since I last blogged. First I'll talk about Bergen.

First, we overslept and missed our morning train to Bergen in which resulted in us taking the night train. Also, last minute train tickets are not cheap but we did not really have a choice. Our Fjord tour tickets cost more. Oh wells, it's all worth it I guess. Bergen is so beautiful.

In addition to the beautiful city, we got an apartment for our stay. It was really nice and clean and comfy. Too bad we were only staying for 2 nights rather than the initial 3 nights. Still, it's nice to visit Bergen.

So Day 1, we went to this hill via some sky train thingy. It was really beautiful. You can totally see the whole city. It's like some park on the hill top which was really beautiful.

Day 2, we went to visit the Fjord in Flam. It was breath-taking-ly beautiful. Hmm.. It's like we were living in some kind of 'postcard-land'. It's just some place you will never picture yourself at. Check out the pics and you will understand. A picture speaks a thousand words.

Check Bergen and me out here and here and here. Heez

Amsterdam

2008-12-01T03:45:00.004+08:00

Amsterdam

Day One
--> Reached Amsterdam at about 10pm due to some train delays.
--> Checked in.
--> A beer in the Pub.
--> Rest.

Day Two
--> Visited Anne Frank House - the place where the Jewish girl and her family hid from Hitler's troop.
--> Went to Baba the Coffeeshop
--> Shared a space cake with 5 others
--> Smoked Marijuana (Skunk White Widow) with 3 others
--> Got high and scared

Day three
--> Visit the little town with the windmills=)
--> Shopping till late

Day 4
--> Roam around Amsterdam
--> Visited 2 markets
--> Bought a pair of boots
--> Saw a big doggie=)
--> Bought a mini basket of mini strawberries
--> Continue shooping till late

Day 5
--> Back to Oslo

Amsterdam was literally the 1st city I have visited in Europe since I only have less than half a day in Oslo before leaving for Amsterdam.

It was great. Very much like what I have pictured, drugs and sex, too bad we are not allowed to take pics of those horny chicks in the red windows. It's a really cool city. They have canals like every other streets and to my surprise, there are many swans and ducks in them.

The weather was not quite appealing though. It was windy most of the time and rained a couple of times.=)I managed to survive though.

The most memorable part of the trip must be to smoke Marijuana. It was all cool until I decided to take more puffs when all others were already stoning. That was when I got caught by the Skunk White Widow. I lost control of my body. I felt totally in a dreamy state. I have no idea if I was dreaming. I was just trying to communicate with them so that you guys can wake me up. Still, it felt all so dreamy even after talking to Cheryl and you.

I have no idea why. I felt terrible. I was scared, really scared. I have never put myself in so much fear before. I couldn't feel you, her or even myself. I am not sure if you are really there or am I still smoking inside the coffee shop, thinking I have left the place.

At one point, I saw myself totally losing control of myself. My vision and hearing got blurred and I was really in fear, fear of dying, fear of not able to feel you again. Not till you gave me some sugar water=) from some pizza shop. The sugar water really did brought me back. I regained my vision and hearing but still in a dreamy state; still can't feel myself.

However, I was much happier after that. I know that you are real, though 10% of me still thinks that I am dreaming. I only remembered I talked allot after that. It was really funny. I forgot whatever I said like every 5 minutes like some drunken chick.=)

All in all, I just wanna thank you for taking care of me even when you were not sure if you yourself were ok=) I thought it was really sweet. *muack* Love you.
PS: Stop mocking me!

Oh wells, Other than drugs and sex. Amsterdam is still a nice place. We saw this big doggie with messy fur lying on by the road. He was sooooooooooo cute despite being huge. He likes to go between legs. How adorable=)

Oh, the fruits in one of the markets was dirt cheap. We bought like one mini basket of mini strawberries and 10 mandarins for 1 Euro each.

Finally, Amsterdam is a pretty young city. I would recommend all of you to visit Amsterdam if you can. Anyway things are cheaper than some other European countries.

Check Amsterdam and me out here and here

sadness double up

2008-11-09T14:42:00.004+08:00

Sadness Double-up

I used to be sad that I am leaving during this crucial period where I'll miss out all my favorite activities. I kinda stop myself thinking about it for awhile till recently.
Actually till yesterday.

Ntu Touch has alot going recently. Lotsa drama losta not so good stuff. Anyway, I used to think that I was lucky that I don't have tolerate or suffer the consequences of all the drama we have since I won't be around. And I felt that the team is no longer a team.

Oh wells, till our finals against UWC yesterday. We had 9 players includes 2 patients=) We were missing most of our key players and we were 'suffering' from our lousy fitness level. However, everyone was really playing their hardest out there. We didn't kick butt. But I don't feel that we lost. It's like I gained something tt I couldn't really explain. Something like the urge and need to play for IVP. And now I feel like we are a team again. Oh wells, that's not gonna happen=(

Followed by Minghui asking me to cut short my trip to come back and join Unisus for HO. Sob. =( Oh wells, that's not gonna happen too.

Check out the rest @ Halloween Mini Party

Halloween

2008-11-01T23:24:00.003+08:00

HALLOWEEN

The day of Halloween started with lots of secretly angry moments.

Pissed off with not getting to dress up for Halloween
Pissed off with the last minute change of plan
Pissed off with Andy and Ashley giving stupid excuses to skip watching SAW V
Pissed off with Zi Qiang easily waivered by lust
Pissed off with Wei Cheng lousy sense of direction which almost cost us to Tuas
Pissed off with Wei Cheng causing us to be late
Pissed off with brainless people toppling over the chocolate fondue machine

Oh Wells. Lots of pissing moments but lots of funny moments too.

After dinner, we went to Toy'R'us to mess up their Halloween section=) I'll upload the pictures when I got them from Wenqi=)*Hint Hint*

We then went to minds but decided to not go in=) So then we decided to watch SAW V!!! Yeah=)

Sold Out.

Sianz.... Finally, we decided to watch Tropic Thunder which is pretty lame and could be funnier. But still, great storyline=)

So my night ended.

Snail

2008-10-27T23:11:00.004+08:00

Pretty cool stuff to share. Hmm.. cool to me at least.

There was this snail we saw today at dinner, slowly climbing towards our table(via the fence beside) Nothing cool so far except the fact that it's a pretty active snail.

Oh wells. Not until my mum decided to feed it with a pinch of fish. I still wonder why my mum did that. But anyway, the point is, the snail actually started eating the fish?! I would never expect to see that. Don't snails eat leaves?! Hmm. No idea now.

The fish eating Snail

Apologise for the poor quality but it is really eating the fish!

Rusty's Day Out

2008-10-26T04:04:00.003+08:00

It's time for holiday=) For most of us, it's just Deepavali a.k.a a longer weekend.

But it's different for one dude who has never really been on a holiday; Rusty.

Rusty is currently having his 3D4N stay in Springleaf Ave with his beloved mum which is me=) Alittle new to the new environment and still holding on to his shit for more than 24 hours despite having a beautiful garden to poo in. Hmm.. I could only hope he don't shit in the room.

Oh wells. Happy Holiday to Rusty and all.

PS: 30 days

Pui Pui

2008-10-13T23:58:00.002+08:00

I was wondering when I left my house this morning : "Did I miss out anything?"

Hmm.. I have no answer to that question early in the morning.

But Now I do.

I miss out Pui Pui!!! =( It's like at least 2 months since Pui Pui last not sleep with me. Ever since you left, I have been sleeping with Pui Pui every single day.

I feel weird without him now.

I miss Pui Pui.

And definitely miss you.

Have fun in France. While I sleep alone missing you and Pui Pui=(

I am excited but very much sad for now.

There's so many things I gonna miss on my year end trip
(In order of importance)
1) IVP (Touch Rugby)
2) Hall Opening (Cheerleading)
3) Inter-hall games
4) Inter-school games

I am giving up the 2 things that I am most passionate about for you whom I care most about and for the tour I am most excited about.

Sometimes I wonder, Is it a wrong choice? I am gonna miss out so many of my favorite things and I am most probably losing a room in Hall 1.

However, the choice has been made and I am sure I will love it. Besides, It's a now or wait till you are 30 years old trip. Also, The most important thing is that it is gonna be awesome traveling with you or even just spending time with you.

I miss you

Singapore GP

2008-10-02T19:59:00.005+08:00

Finally but sadly, First ever Singapore Grand Prix is over.

Took awhile for me to blog because of the photos. Didn't manage to upload them on facebook. Took like 3 days and they still failed to be loaded. Anyway, I'll share the photos whenever possible.

Back to F1. People of this event.
1) Lewis Hamilton ~ Hmm.. he's not really one of my favorite drivers or anywhere close. but I really have to admit that he is pretty cute in person. And.... Alittle short(I like)

2) Jenson Button ~ the driver whom Erika and me represented. He's pretty cute and very nice. He actually look out for me and smiled=)

3) Michelle Yeoh ~ Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous. She is sooooooooo beautiful for a women of her age. And very very friendly too.

4) Honda Crew ~ Nice people. 2 different crews actually gave me drinks( coz I have to stand like for 1hr in HEELS)And they are just very friendly.

5) Grid Girls ~ New Friendships, New Gossips, New behind the scenes actions.

Finally, Singapore Grand Prix was really a kinda once in a lifetime experience, at least for me it was. How often do you stand beside a F1 car thinking OMG, I forgot my ear plugs. Yup, And I definitely made alot new friends. Took alot of photos. =)

I had fun. Other than the aching after everything=)

2008-09-27T23:09:00.002+08:00

F1 driver

2008-09-26T23:02:00.006+08:00

I overheard from a radio broadcast a couple of days ago.

"Do you know that a F1 driver loses an average weight of 4kg after every race? It's due to the constant exposure to high temperature. Also, gravity forces and acceleration plays a part in it,"

Hmm.. There's more reasons to becoming a F1 Driver now.=)

And I certainly want to be one. =)I have been practicing. Check me out=)

tan

2008-09-22T23:23:00.003+08:00

Finally... I went tanning last Saturday.

I guess things were great till I fell asleep under the the hot sun, exposing my body to the world of brightness and harmful UV rays.

Now I am left with a sun-burnt tummy, a free bikini that cant be taken off and a fairly white ass with the limited tanning time left after my sunny nap=)

A sucky match- WTL Round 5

2008-09-08T23:14:00.003+08:00

UWC VS Stormcats a.k.a NTU
2 - 2

The day started without sufficient sleep and a bad diarrhea, topped up with a disgusting muddy field.

Everything was just bad, at least for me. I had a hard time performing in this game. I was totally to produce results but too no avail. The whole game was just too fustrated. I was dropping balls like crazy, falling like nobody business. Sob. Just wanna grumble that I had a bad game.

However, things wasn't totally bad at turf city. Haha. I heard someone praising secretly, or maybe not so secretly.

It happened when I was watching the match Pollypockets(PP) VS TP. There's was a group of NP girls at the sideline beside me, cheering for PP. Then when Yili was about to touch down, one of the NP girls was like shouting: " There, there.... The NTU girl, the freaking fast girl who caught up with Pei Shan!" " Omg, she changed her boots, I cant recognise her."

Then I was secretly covering my striking yellow boots.=) Coz Yili is from NUS. =) Secretly happy but pretend I never overheard what they say. =) haha.

And that makes my day.

New Hair Cut

2008-08-31T23:47:00.003+08:00

Hmm.. Just wanted a whole new look=)

Wrong Move, Aung.

2008-08-26T22:12:00.006+08:00

You killed my passion

For starters, there's this person named Aung, running for Hall One Sports Sec. And today is the Rally where fellow hall Oners can share their views about the upcoming JCRC.

Naturally, being a sports player I decided to qns the upcoming or maybe not, sports sec. Especially after listening to some rumours that Aung is going to concentrate on 3 sports, mainly those who have chances of winning.

So I asked if he gonna concentrate on 3 sports, how about the other sports? So he deemed they have no chances of winning already? And also, talking about passion, what about people who have passion like me, who nv played table tennis before and went down for IH on a Sat morning just to feel the numbers. Guess what I won my 1st ever Table Tennis match. Coz opponent walked over. Just sharing my passion.

Guess what he said?! Aung: " Oh you have personal reasons mah... The ex-sports sec is your boyfriend mah?! ANd I don't have any girlfriend in hall to come play IH for me."

Please Aung, wrong move I shd say. So you mean everyone whoes willing to play for IH is Alex's girlfriend or boy friend?! I nv know he's bisexual. So you played for quite some IH sports, so that makes you his boyfriend too?! Even if everyone is his flings or so, do you have the skills to make relationships like he or Jun Wei does? It's relationship that drags those ass down for IH. That's something you failed.

Next, I can't believe you even mention about the 4x100m. You said you have track exprience, and yet you caused a team with hopes to lose. You don't even know that you have to run to receive the baton?! Caused Jerry to bang into you while passing the baton to you.

And also, talking about we both play Rugby, and your immediate reaction was: "OH I play Rugby, you play Touch Rugby." *with a smirk*

Hey Aung, I know the difference between Touch Rugby and Rugby. Don't be all so holy manly about it. I heard you are not even that good to begin with. And please la, Rugby evolved from Touch Rugby. YOu bloody learnt Touch before contact rugby. Also, You just happened to be the team manager because you self proclaimed you are. You are not even the rightful Rugby team manager.

Not being not sporty here, but I swear I am not gonna join IH if you become the sports sec ( which you prob will, there's no one to compete with anyway).
I am just a Gu niang Touch Rugby PLayer, you don't really need me.

People, vote for him if you want. I am just sharing my opinions and not stopping anyone from voting for him.

End of story

When good intention turns bad

2008-08-26T00:09:00.003+08:00

I was just being caring.
Ended up being ignored.

Being more than 10000km away from you makes me unease.
Moreover, you are alone.

I just wouldn't know what to do if anything ever happen to you?
I guess I would blame myself for not standing firm today.
Oh well, I doubt you will ever understand that feeling.

90 more unease days

Still missing you

Dog Expo

2008-08-25T23:44:00.005+08:00

Brought Rusty to Dog Expo Last Sunday. Crazy?!! It was pretty crazy bringing a noobish drooling machine who goes ard sniffing every single dog. I was totally tire out after that. Still, check out the cutie drooling pooch of mine. =)

Big-boned schnauzer

Huge Husky

2008-08-17T23:37:00.004+08:00

I tot you might miss Rusty so uploaded some pics of him.

Daddy.. I am a star..=)

Heez.. Mummy always like to make me look stupid.

Anyway, Rusty was quite funny today. As usual running and hopping ard. HAha. While playing with your mum, he did a 'squatting hop turn'. Hmm.. it's like he made a 180 degree U turn via hopping at squatting position with his front paws up. I don't really know if you understand. But it was hilarious. Haha

Winter Touch League

2008-08-17T23:25:00.002+08:00

Last Saturday Winter Touch League against the Firebirds ended with the score 8-0. Even though the result looks pretty disappointing but I didn't really felt that we lost. Yes, we could have done better. However, measuring the fact that we have new players in our team and the fact that the opponents are undeniably stringer than us, I tot we did well.=)

It was fun getting to play with the ex-coyotes after that. And getting together with them after that makes me realise I have missing out alot. Hmm.. Haven't really been going out with the naughty nips. Jane!!! Ask me out...... =)

My addiction

2008-08-13T20:43:00.003+08:00

Have I ever told you that I am addicted to go to work after you left?
Coz it means that I am one day closer to meeting you.

Have I ever told you that I am addicted to strike off all the yesterdays on the calender after you left?
Coz it means that the time barrier between us is reducing.

Have I ever told you that I am addicted to count the every second of my life after you left?
Coz it means that I can witness every less sec between us

Have I ever told you that I am addicted to talking to Pui Pui after you left?
Coz it means that I have so much things to tell you.

Have I ever told you that I am addicted to tearing over the not-so-touching scenes on TV after you left?
Coz it means that I am missing you

It all started after you left.

XOXO 105 days

I am sad

2008-08-06T23:28:00.003+08:00

I guess distance wasn't the biggest barrier between us.

It's expectation. We probably expect too much from each other. A few minutes of disconnection, or alittle chat with a stranger can make us feel out of the picture.

I guess we are both vulnerable now. Every min of each other's attention is like a precious gem. That's when we need to be more understanding and learn to be more sensitive towards each other.

We shouldn't be upset over puny issues which shouldn't even exists.

I want to be the best girlfriend in the world no matter where you are. Because I love you.

I am sorry for everything.

PS; 110 days without you

The Hero Within Me

2008-07-14T22:24:00.004+08:00

Peeps, Be very proud of me coz I am. =)

I have successfully converted from a kind civilian to a hero today. =) Heez. Instead of being the bystander who standby a corner of the train hoping someone would give up their seats to the 9 month old pregnant women or the old couple in their 80s, I did more than what I usually do( offer my seats)

Today, I told a women to give up her seat instead(hmm.. I am standing of course). I was simply too irritated by the women in her 40s, using her hp as if the the pregnant women is just a fat women who don't deserves the seat. Thus, I went to confront her. And guess what she said?!

She said she had backache?!!!!!!!!!! WTF? Bloody ridiculous. So what if you have backache, you don't see me hogging on to the seats when I have cramps?!! Nor would you ever see the sign: " Please offer your seat to someone with backache?!"

So I told her off alittle in a nice but fierce manner. Finally, I won the battle=)

I feel so proud of myself=) Do you?

Nebo Fashion Model

2008-07-14T21:56:00.003+08:00

I apologize for the late post due to work. Anyway, I took part in a contest recently as the title proposed. No I didn't win but thank you pals for voting. =)

More importantly, I had fun and made quite a couple of friends. =)

Check out the pics

Costume 1- Cosplay
Costume 2- Beach Wear

2008-06-26T18:39:00.002+08:00

It has been almost 2 weeks after joining Exxonmobil for an internship. It's kinda fun there except that now I am almost all alone after the previous intern left. Sob. I have no lunch buddy till the new interns arrive which is like 7 July. *Sigh* 6 more days of lonely lunches.

Anyway, check me out in the safety uniform. Haha.. I totally ruin the cool and musculine image of the uniform. They look like oversized pj.. =)

Karma

2008-06-09T21:50:00.004+08:00

I love to mock people. I love to tease people. As for now, I love to believe that Karma doesn't exist. But clearly it does.

Things had changed. I have met my match. I am now a victim of a mockery. And I hate it. I really don't mind people teasing or mocking me. I am never the petty kind when it comes to teasing because I know it means no harm. At the end of the day, we'll just laugh it off. However, as long as our so called friendship is in concern, I have never gotta angry with Z* whom I felt actually meant his teasing sometimes.

I am just secretly sad and hurt. I am girl. It's just hurtful when someone doesn't believe in you and yet push you down. Not as if I wanted him to believe in me since we are not related in anyhow. But how would you feel when you got in an audition and you told your friend. The 1st word that popped out was 'Are you lying?' and continued with 'You are definitely lying!'

Or even after he finally believed it's the truth and continued with things like ' Did you shove tissue into you bra during the audition?' or 'You are friend of the judges?'

I got in fair and square!!! Sigh

Karma hits me hard.

Singapore Vs Uzbekistan

2008-06-03T15:42:00.003+08:00

Go Lions! Went to National Stadium to support the Lions yesterday. It was pretty cool seeing so many ppl dressing up in red and white for this event. Haha. Thou Uzbekistan's wearing white. Heez. I tot the last goal that Singapore scored was damn cool. =) Overall, defense and speed was a disappointment. =( Still, I believe Singapore did good, with room for improvement.

What I hate most was those fans who cursed and swore at our own team. Shouldn't you stand by your team when they were down? Hmm.. There's this China man kept cursing our goal keeper which was so irritating. He kept pointing middle finger at the field after the game. I think its so totally Childish. Bleh. Whatever.

Overall, I enjoyed my night~even thou I dropped $17 before entering the stadium. Sob

The Irritating China man. Identity protected in case he sue me=)

MAlaysia EID outing

2008-05-28T23:02:00.002+08:00

War ON!!!

Yesterday, a group of 10 went to Msia and battle it out.(Via paintball) Haha.
We can totally spot rivalry especially b/w Andy and BingYao. Bing Yao proved himself as the Ultimate Enemy of all. He left with a record of seven Ultimate bruises(ouch!!)
Luckily, I escaped the day with only one minor bruise. Heez. Secretly hiding behind the inflatable pillar most of the time.

Ultimately, It was fun hiding behind the pillar. =)

Anyway, we went for some seafood action behind City Square which.... was alittle disappointing. The service there was bad. You have to buy 10 person's serving if you are gonna occupy the seats in front of a particular stall. It was pretty irritating that they kinda force us to buy their food. Fortunately, we found enough seats in front of a drink stall.. Heez. Where 10 person's serving wasn't a problem now. =)

Back to the food, The Char Kway Teow smells great but taste wise... Hmm... Tooooooooo salty. Its not even sweet at all. The worse thing was, we ordered 8plates of Char Kway Teow. Miserable to the max. Luckily, the stingray was cheap and yummy.. Heez.

We ended the day with 7 different kind of cakes from sweet recipe. Sinful

Dying dog is no art

2008-04-28T23:16:00.005+08:00

In 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied it to a rope in an art gallery,and starved it to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionlessly the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, titled "Eres lo que lees" until he eventually died. The dog was named 'Nativity'. Guillermo now justifies his cruelty as a portrayal of the suffering of street dogs.

Does it look like art to you?

It doesn't end here. The prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was so artistic that it required a repetition. Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel installation for the biennial of 2008.

HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!

Rusty the mohawk dog

2008-04-26T20:03:00.003+08:00

Rusty has a new furcut and a new friend. =) He 'wears' his new haircut and his new friend almost everywhere-pictures don't lie. He's so totally adorable and lovable and he finally conquered the steepy stairs @ Alex's house. He can finally be at any corner of the house without any help. Well, maybe sometimes he still needs alittle encouragement when he's stucked in the middle flights. Still, he's my little boy.=)

The fur is alittle too short. Still, let's wait for his Mohawk to be 'fully growth'

Rusty's new friend aka the green ikea snake

All tired out after battling with the hungry snake

Zouk- summer party (13 March 2008)

2008-03-17T23:25:00.004+08:00

Last Thursday was filled with excitement and laughters. Where we secretly went into a few mini cat fights like some old lian lians after all the partying. =) The highlight wasn't exactly the fights, instead, the mockings. We were just too busy mocking at the many little things happening all night long. It just feel good being a naughty nip. =) Love you guys.

Being Responsible

2008-03-07T01:47:00.004+08:00

In common language, a task is part of a set of actions which accomplish a job, problem or assignment.

When a task is allocated, people should be responsible and finished the task. More importantly never push it to others.

But what if the task wasn't even allocate to you in the first place?! And you were just a messenger who simply pass down the msg. Does it mean you have to be blame for pushing your task to others? Does it mean you have to return the message if whoever is not available because of some reasons which I wouldn't claim it as responsible. Hmm.. Does that mean the 'unavailable' person is now being irresponsible and pushing her tasks away? Only god knows..

Oh, on a random note, I don't believe in fortune telling even if it's about health.

Mahjong at FB's house

2008-03-06T21:55:00.004+08:00

Last Wed, Jane, Eho and I went FB's house in some secret part of Singapore where you won't be able to find it even with the help of the people(fb) who lives there. We were there for some crazy mahjong action. At least that was what I tot until Dad decided I should go home. =) That was went I won $19 at the end of 南风. HAha. Good skills huh=)I think more of good luck though. Kept getting 自摸平胡。

Anyway, the bottomline of the story is I am a nice person who share my winnings with my friends. Not being stupid. I am just being nice since this is the 1st time I played with them. Haha. Gave them 2 bucks each and 4 bucks to HLP. So winnnings reduced to $11. More than what I expected already.=) Contented.
