Broadway Dance Studio

2009-02-08T17:26:00.005+08:00

Its time to talk about my NYC again!

It was really a rare opportunity that I can make it for Luam's class, not once, but twice! She is damn zhai la! Furthermore, she is also very patient with her students.

The class was very packed, as what I have been warned by Winnie before going over. Hardly any space to dance. Despite of this, we did not hit onto each other! I think becoz all of her students very pro and used to dance in a packed class. So they will feel the ppl beside them and try not to hit.

The first choreo that I learnt was using "Move If You Wanna" by MIMS. Very very nice choreo. The second choreo was very nice too... but I forgot the steps liao... haha... never practice and never seen it in the youtube. Very sad. Hoping that it will be posted soon!

Move If You Wanna Choreo!

My depressing weekend and Blue-est Monday

2009-02-04T23:33:00.003+08:00

A long and depressing weekend... a long and depressing monday...

Have never felt so down before! All kind of events happened on the same day, same period of time. Feel so lost, so demoralised.

Through these events, I realised that communications are indeed, super ultimate important! Relationship with your friends and colleagues are as important as well!

After talking to one of my close friends, I learnt something about myself too... actually, something that I keep avoiding and taking it for granted for so long... It is not easy to overcome it, but I will constantly and consiously keep in mind... I will be more ____... I also told this friend something that I can't share with many of you... something that I do not want to share... so please dun ask me k...

Some emo questions that I keep thinking for the past days...

Who is Terence?
What kind of person is he?
What things he likes?
Where is his love resides on?
What kind of future will this man holds?
When can he ever get more money?
When can he start to save without spending that much?

I would say that I started out my OX year in a mess! My room is in a mess. My dance project is in a mess. My career is in a mess. My money management is in a mess... I blame all to the fact that I do not have a tidy room... and I hope that now, I can have a better life...

By the way, I went to Shangri La Loh Hei Luncheon with my manager. And I won the first prize lucky draw! One weekend stay at Shangri La Singapore Club floor! Yea... I think this is the only thing I am happy about...

My new Ikea wardrobe and metal cabinet

2009-02-04T23:20:00.004+08:00

Finally, everything is in place!

It has been a long journey to get this wardrobe! I have searched almost corner in Singapore to look for afforable, with mirror sliding door and the correct size of wardrobe to fit it into my small little room. At times, when I was too tired and sick of looking around anymore, I wanted to just buy one and settle it. But luckily I did not... After I moved in, I realised that another side of the room, the current wardrobe location, is a good place to place my new wardrobe and at the same time, I have ample of space to dance! haha! So I took the measurement, went to Ikea for the second time to hunt for this size of wardrobe... And I was lucky to get this! Really very thankful...

This wardrobe costs me $1100 while the metal cabinet costs me $178! Broke for now...

My New Home... still... TPY!!!

2009-01-25T02:22:00.002+08:00

I have just moved from Toa Payoh to Toa Payoh yet again! My life just simply surround TPY man... call me a TPY boy! haha..

My new home is at Lorong 5! Haven't really explore what is surrounding here.. perhaps got to do a orientation run to know the place faster?

Anyway for the past few days, I have been looking all over Singapore for a cupboard that I want! I am very picky and value minded... so if its not something that I like and value for money, I won't buy... and thats the reason for the following consequences...

My room is in a total mess! Everything is still in boxes and I got to dig out clothes that I want to wear... Pathetic!

Since is going to CNY soon... I really have no choice but to wait for CNY to be over before starting to hunt for my cupboard once again!

If you got any lobang or recommendations, please msg me k! THX!

Travel Bargain - Bali

2009-01-14T11:13:00.011+08:00

I have decided to share all the cheap promo on travelling that are currently on sale with all of my friends... Some cheap bargains are mainly for agents like me to go. But if you can convince me to go with you, then you can also enjoy almost the same deal. HAHA! So please keep a lookout here ya! I will make sure you will know the world in no time!

Here is one of the great offer that I would to share with everyone.

BALI

Fly with Garuda Airlines to Bali
- $288 (incl of tax, subj to change)
- Valid till 31 March 09

Land Content
- A rough estimate of a good 4 stars hotel or villa for 4 days 3 nights will cost around $300.
- Inclusive of daily breakfasts
- Return airport transfers in Seat in coach basis.
- Half day Ubud True Life Village + Crispy Duck Lunch OR
- Half day Tanah Lot Temple + Grill Seafood Dinner at Jimbaran Or
- Denpassar City Shopping + Flying Gurane Lunch OR
- Afternoon Uluwatu Temple Sunset Tour + Kechak dance OR
- 2 hours spa treatment (Massage + Scrub + Flower bath)
- Free massage or meal at some selected hotels!

I think it is pretty cheap. Comparing to other airlines which fly direct to Bali, this deal offered by Garuda is much more cheaper and affordable! Usually a package like this with everything add in is around $900 bucks!

Actually I want to go Bali for a long time. Because I won some free 2 nights stay at Grand Istana Rama before. So maybe can stay 2 nights there then switch another hotel for another experience. I think going Bali is mainly to enjoy the resort and hotel facilities. So the hotel must be very nice and comfy. Unlike if you go places like Hong Kong or Japan, you do not want to stay in the hotel for too long ya... Coz there are so many happening shopping places and things to do out there!

So anyone wants to go in March? :)

Some pictures of the hotel that I want to go to redeem my prize!

These are some of the pictures of some good hotels.

An untitled post...

2009-01-13T01:01:00.004+08:00

This year, I have made a few major decisions... trying to make my life filled up more with activities. Example, I have took up a Jap course, is something all along I wanted to do so... So since there is an opportunity, I grab it fast and paid for it.

I have also trying to expose myself to more dance classes. Not only for better well being, but also to keep feeling younger by dancing... I am not very young liao le... is 26 this year!

I have also being involving in some training, trying to prove another side of me. Trying to explore deeper and bring some talent out from myself. I wanna see what it will lead me to... It is not easy to commit on this training since it is a twice weekly thing and is somewhere very very far. But still, I wanna try and see. I really wanna test myself out. I really want to. Many comments from many people. And I really appreciate those who gave me valuable comments. I will take it seriously and go ahead with this training with lots of caution.

I have also been trying very hard to keep fit in the gym. See some results, will continue to work on it and hope to get my abs soon.

U may wonder why I did not continue to post on NYC. Why a sudden summary of what I am doing now... Stres... lots of stress... Unneccessary stress... irelevant worries... unjustifiable actions...

Perhaps... I really never sit down and think back of myself. What is my goal in life, why am I still single for so long. Is there a prob with me? I know there are many good one out there. Some even expressed but I choose to act blur... expectation too high? Many told me this. I started to doubt myself... I started to think... why am I so packed with day in day out activites... are all these stuff really neccessary? Do I really need to work so hard to get the body I want? DO I really need to dance so much yet dunno how to move on to the next level? Do I really need to take up a Jap course? Why do I want to put myself thru all these? A life filled with activites... is this really I want? or is this something that I want to do to numb myself from reflecting myself? Whenever when I am alone... all kind of thoughts just start to flood my mind... even myself haven't figure it out... I am still following my heart... still... slowly... taking my time... lots of questions... but I guess... one day... one day... it will reveal by itself...

Laughters and smiles are what you see in Terence... is this Terence?

States part 2

2008-12-28T00:44:00.006+08:00

Soon, we arrived at Detriot, New Jersey, airport. I believe this airport is one of the many airports in States that receives many international and domestic flights. As you can see, the airport is pretty huge and well organized! Very easy to find the gates and won't get lost so easily.

So we took our domestic flight to Newark Airport, New York. This airport is damn "lok kok" haha! Very different from Detriot airport. At the point of collecting our luggages, we were very anxious. As we were afraid that our luggages will be terrorised by the airport staff, which we heard from many of our friends who have been to the states that they will open up any bags and do random spot checks. Even in some cases, expensive items were stolen as a result. So we were very worried! The lucky thing was that we finally collected our luggages without having anything missing, but the unlucky thing was that there were two damages to the Chans' luggages! We did not do the claim on the spot as we believe that it would be very tough to do it oversea, especially in the states, thus we brought the case back to Singapore to cliam.

There were 3 coaches in total, each coach carried around 50 passengers. It was a pretty huge group I would say. Everyone was pretty punctual and corporated throughout the whole tour.

Finally, our first day of tour! Our first stop was at Chinatown, the biggest Chinatown in the States! There wasn't anything very interesting, we were there to have our breakfast before continue our city tour in NYC.

Soon, we arrived at Wall Street and the Trinity Church. We were pretty excited as this place is the world's economy centre! By the way, it was a holiday on that day. It was Thanks Giving Day! It is a big and important holiday for the Americans! Since it was a holiday, as you can see, there wasn't many people. You can only see tourists and tourists and tourists...

States part 1

2008-12-26T00:50:00.006+08:00

Recently, the Chans and I went to the STATES! We had visited places like NYC, Boston, Nigara Fall (Almost to Canada), Washington DC, philadelphia and many more! We took Northwest airlines and transited at Tokyo, Narita Airport and Detriot, New Jersey. There were just simply too much joy and laughter to share with everyone. A picture speaks a thousand words, so I shall post more pics instead of talking too much... enjoy the photos!

Before we begin our 14 days journey to the states, we were busying securing our luggages with the lock that must be approved by the US authority. Many said that they will just open your luggage randomly for spot checks! If they can't open your luggages because you use some weird locks, they will just force their way through! Better to be safe then sorry, buy TSA locks if you going to the states!

Northwest airlines are generally fine in terms of its leg room space. There was inflight entertainment from Singapore to Tokyo, a journey of 7 plus hours. BUT! There wasn't any inflight entertainment from Tokyo to Detriot! I almost fainted when I board a plane without the inflight entertainment for 13 plus hours! This was the same for the return leg. You really cannot do anything other than sleeping man!

Transit in Tokyo. This was the first time the Chans touched down in Japan! They were pretty excited and Guo Hao keepss wanting to have a bento set or a bowl of ramen. so end up we had a quick lunch before catching our next flight in a few minutes time.

Terence wants to blog again...

2008-12-23T01:33:00.003+08:00

It has been a very very long time ever since I left this blog with my last post. Thank you those people who have been visiting this boring blog site for the past years.

I have decided to make this blog as exciting and interesting as it was previously. But first, I need to wait for my new desktop purchase. Reason being the current laptop that I am using now is too laggy, and thus I cannot use my photoshop program where I can edit nice photos together. I will be getting my desktop soon... I promise!

Till then, please give me a few more days to start blogging eversince I stopped for so long.

See u soon!

Terence is Lazy

2008-01-07T20:49:00.000+08:00

Haha... I have been lazying around eversince after my december papers... I dun even feel like blogging... haha...

Well, I have officially graduated from NUS!!! Yea!!! Passed all modules and even got a very good and unexpected grade for my so call Final Year Project. Really very happy that my team acheived grade A. Trust me, the journey to an A was really not easy. It is so tough not only on the technical side, but also the coordination within the team and the understandings from one another. Ok... I am a bit fake here... for those who know will know what I am trying to say ya... haha...

Still remember at the very last and critical stage of my project time, my team and I really almost everyday stayed overnight in school... or rather, worked overnight with very little sleep... that time, 3 of us still had a test to go for... and eventually we failed the test quite badly because we had no time to study... we were so focused on the project as we were afraid we couldn't finish the testing in time... those were the days man! Thank you for those who were with me all the way... despite of my lack of knowledge and stubbornness, you had shown patience, closed guidiance and understanding... Thank you!

As for the exams... the most tough and scary paper of all was the probability paper... really very tough and totally no idea what is going on with the paper... Every questions I did was half done... and thats the point when I wondered will I ever graduate this sem? Luckily I did... haha... Heng ah...

Immediately after the papers, I went to japan again! Yea... winter japan... But my first trip I met a very unfriendly tour guide... she was a tom boy and many of the professionals in the field had commented about her... During some occasions, I almost wanted to give her a tight slap man! 3 days later after I came back to Singapore, I flew there again... hee... this time round the tour guide was a good one... I would ranked him the second best from all the tour guides I had ever met. But this second trip was a very sad one for me... coz I fell sick on day 3... Very bad flu and weak body... Couldn't sleep at night and no medicine for 2 days... Eventually I bought some medicine which cost me ard 20 sing! I feel very ex la... but no choice.. still have to buy and eat... hoping that I will get better... but it din!!! Still as sick as before... and this time round, I got myself those masks to cover my mouth.. dun wanna spread my powderful virus to everyone on the bus... Another dissapointment was that on the last nite, we stayed in this hotel located at Shinjuku! The most happening shopping and nite life area in Tokyo! But I got no mood and no strenght to explore the place... too sick to walk around... So sad.. haiz...

During my exam and the in between my japan trips... I went for 2 interviews... one with Creative and another with Singtel... I think Singtel really need people le... coz I did not prepare for the interview at all but still able to get in.. hee... so now I am working in Singtel! haha... as System Analyst... Welcome to the 8 to 5 working world man! Tell you... I really hate this kind of 8 to 5 working life... haha... perhaps I need some time to adjust to it ba... Now I got nothing to do in the office... everyday read some documents which make no sense to me at all... not that I dun want to find out what is it... but is abt the business logic of the projects... then I will not be able to understand unless someone explain it to me... So now just have to wait for my boss and peer to be more free.. then they can explain it to me... Anyway this singtel offer is a one yr contract... I may have other plans other than this singtel job... we shall see ya! haha... I am a troublesome and frequent minded person... hee

Think thats all for now... will post more stuff about my work and my collegues when got time ya... :)

Hmm... below are some pic I took when we were rushing for my project deadlines and also pic I took in Japan... enjoy!

My team and I were working very hard...

We ordered mac and ate at a place with a big sign... NO FOOD!!! haha...

Ting Liang was sleeping in the morning... he cannot tahan liao... need sleep desperately...

Must take a pic with him! After he woke up... I asked him "why do you need to put a paper on your face while sleeping?" He answered "Because it was very sunny!" ?? haha

And I am still amazed by how Ting Liang can manage to use this paper over and over again... ?!?

A gift from Helene and her family!!!!

2007-10-23T01:20:00.000+08:00

Oh gosh... I am really very shocked and surprised when I received a surprise present from Helene and her family! Speechless for a moment and the next word come from me was "Oh My GOD!!!"... not exgerating ok... really... Helene sent me a web cam and 2 pack of biscuits all the way from Strasbourg, France. Very touch... very very very touch... Thanks Helene for such an expensive present, the effort and the thoughts!!!! This was my very first gift from oversea! Yea!

Recent Updates

2007-10-10T02:53:00.000+08:00

Have not being blogging for quite some time. And I know that the "loosing ends" spelling mistake.. lol... thanks for those who constantly remind me about it.

Helene and her family
A few days back, Helene and her family web cam with me from Strasbourg, France. That was so damn happening manz! The sad thing was that I do not have a web cam, therefore I can only see them and they can't see me. Think I gonna get one soon... How I wish I can visit them some day in the near future... Hmmm.. must plan to make it happen! Perhaps a backpack kind? haha... anyone wants to go?

Test and Proj
Last 2 weeks were damn terrible! Probability test almost drove me crazy! Now still dunno the result yet. Then right after the test, stayed for 2 nights with my project mates to finish up the first system release! We then went for the presentation with no sleep at all! So damn shag and "blank" at that time. And wanna thanks to those who had helped though these difficult times... yuhua... and some of my proj mates... not all... :X

Dance
Finally, went to studio wu for my first dance class! haha.. after so long of saying wanting to go... I bought the package and thus will go more frequently.. hopefully I can manage my time better.

New Car
My uncle/god grandfather has changed a new car... Nissan Sunny... I think he really like Nissan... ha.. coz the previous one was the same brand but different model for this new car. The car is quite nice and I hope I can use more often before I get myself mine! hee... Hope that it wouldn't be too long from now.

Cousin's wedding
My cousin is getting married this coming friday... And I will be his brother le... So far the clothes I have already prepared... and nothing else i think... this thursday will go for a meeting with him... see what is my jobscope like. Becoz of this, I will be missing a day lesson on friday.. haiz.. I have been skipping lessons for these few days... coz too much work to be done!

Thats all for now... take care my friends!

Loosing end

2007-09-18T00:49:00.000+08:00

I had many bad days and experiences lately... so bad that I am thinking whether I am loosing all my friends and myself... I have not been contacting many of my friends for soooo long... Isolating myself in projects and study... I am so sick of my life right now!

Since this my blog is not private... I shall not mention in specific... I have been trying hard to find the way back. There are these thoughts and feelings which I think are not healthy at all.. thinking there is still a long way to go, it is really hard to survive through... Some of the ways I tried are to be Mr nice guy... tyring to help this and that... At times I will try to be a joker... create jokes and laughter... In return... I was treated like an idiot with zero intelligence kind. Haiz... I think I just have to bare with it man...

For friends out there... pls dun forget me and pls pardon me for not hanging out with you for so long... And lets remember this... dun take your friends for granted... if they are true to you... pls make it better in return. Though it is easy to be said than done... lets put that extra effort in doing so...

CS3214 Project + JJ mini concert

2007-09-10T13:33:00.000+08:00

Stress + Heavy workload + Long hours = ???

Hope that the result will be a positive one. Really spent alot of time discussing the project and finally a proper design is done. Hope that this design can bring us through well for the implementation part. If not, it will be damn messy and complicated to solve future unforseen problems.

For now... hope that can last thru this last sem... this sem is like projects, projects and projects... Luckily I have yuhua to help me in one of my subject... if not I die! Thanks gal!

Went to JJ's mini concert for the Children Cancer Foundation at St James on last Sat. Pretty fun. I was there as an usher. Met many new friends and at the same time, got many free sample from Kiehl's product. Heard that this brand facial product is damn good and effective. So happy that can get some sample... perhaps is time to change a new brand...

What does SIA wants from a cabin crew?

2007-08-27T01:35:00.000+08:00

9am - woke up
10.30am - reached swissotel for SIA cabin crew interview
11.15am - interview started
11.30am - "sorry, you are not shortlisted!"

haiz... dunno wat does SIA wants from a cabin crew... wat exactly are they looking for? Anyway I have learnt some lessons from this round and hope that I can correct all the mistakes I made before the next try.

Anyway, just wanna share some jokes I had while having the interview. This was a group interview, consisting of 9 interviewee and 2 interviewer. I was the second to be interviewed... and after my self-intro, I sat down and almost laugh out... haha... one of the interviewee instead of introducing himself as a out-going person, he told everyone he is a party-goer! lol... tell the panel this for wat sia... another one said he now then come to apply for cabin crew was because a few years back his mother disallowed him to work as a cabin crew... erm... what does it got to link with the interview man... then the same person said his hobby was.... just like the usual people staying in singapore loh... those usual hobbies... haha... erm... then must as well dun say rite... lolz. Erm... most of the interviewee dressed appropriately... execpt one guy wore a bright blue belt lo! Must be Gay lo! haha... Then the ladies hoh... most are ok with their dressing... but a few dressed machaim they are ready to go to clubbing right after the interview... lol.. bare back... those thick belt worn just below the breasts kind. Then got a few wore short skirts... haiz... wat are they thinking man...

Anyway... I was rather sad la... coz waste my time and effort but no gain in the end. So next time, I must be more than prepared for it. I think I need to cut my hair to those cabin crew standard before going for the next round. Oh ya... they are definately not recruiting ppl with looks. Thats for damn sure. Coz the only 2 out of 9 in my group who were shortlisted, are not good looking at all.

The saying goes... "Do you have what it takes?" lolz

My friends from france!

2007-08-27T01:19:00.000+08:00

Yea... I have friends who are the residents of france... I knew this group of friendly and nice people when I was in Japan! They are a family consisting of MR Gerald, Ms Helene and their 3 daughters! They actually migrated from vietnam to France and decided to stay put down there!

We still keep in contact and I am really happy about it... haha... dunno why also.. very excited to have overseas friends, esp from European country. Next time when I go France I can go and visit them! haha.. so fun... but dunno when la...

Promised them I will post an entry for them... here you go...

I can still remember that their camera was the same model as mine, canon ixus 65. And while we were at one of the visitor spot, their camera went flat. So I helped them to take a few shots!

This is their house... very big rite...

It is really very nice when people can still remember you as a friend, even though we just knew each other for seven days. *touched* :)

All the best Mr Gerald and Ms Helene! Wish your family always happy and safe! Take care and hope to see all of you once again in the near future!

Jump Jump Jump

2007-08-22T00:38:00.000+08:00

Haha... I forgot to post pictures that B59 and I took at Hong Kong... Wherever we were with lots of space... guess wat.. we jump! haha... we keep jumping along the streets and inside the Train stations. Lolz. And I realised one thing, everyone jumps the same for so many different shots and at different places. Lolz!

Hong Kong

2007-08-16T02:23:00.000+08:00

I know is abit late to post for my HK trip. These few days were rather busy with little little stuff and now then got some time to tidy up my unpacked luggage. Then I realised I really bought alot of stuff! haha... damn many sia... I bought like 9 t-shirts/polo T, 3 shirts, 2 jackets, 5 pants/cargo pants, 1 brief, 5 wrist bands, 3 fedora/hat, 1 bag and 3 pairs of shoes!!! Haha... A lot rite... cannot believe it man...

My HK-conquered items.

And I know that for the next few months... I'm not gonna spend money on shopping liao (can I? haha). And I really need to start budgeting my expenses... coz the nus financial aid is not going to give me any money this sem... sobz... Im so poor (ppl out there is gonna kill me for saying Im poor)... haha...

TYPHOON NO. 8
Haiz... it seems like the typhoon is following me from japan to Hong Kong... haha... keep chasing after me... when the typhoon no. 8 is declared nation wide, all the shops closed! We almost gone crazy lo. coz that time was around 3pm and we went to a shopping mall full of branded factory outlets, and we were like cover addidas only lo! Really almost gone crazy... I was so shocked that I stunned for some time... SO next we went to the supermarket and start buying cup noodles, banana, grape, vitagen, soya bean milk and etc. This was to prepare for possible starvation at nite as we were afraid that the food stalls will be closed too. My Bond59 can never go hungry one k... if not everyone will become crazy! haha... must keep feeding ourselves with food one... BTW, we did not experience the strong wind or chaos along the streets... coz I think we were some how blessed... we saw the train stations were packed with people rushing home and also saw people trying to hold on to their umbrella (eh eh eh under my umbrella... haha) while braving throught the strong wind and rain. We were like happily took the train and then reached out hotel safely. This typhoon was a unexpected one coz this one actually made a U-turn back to HK area. This had never happened for like many many yrs... then HK also long time never experienced a hoist of no. 8 for many many yrs.

We are so kiasu, bought so many stuff from the supermarker... very kua zhang rite... haha

Even the bakery shop was swept empty!

All right... here comes the food I had in Hong Kong... My favourites... KFC Egg Tart, Char siew, mango desert from Xu Liu Shan! We almost everyday pia to Xu Liu Shan for the mango desert lo! Damn nice ok.

Xu Liu Shan Mango Desert

Ending... starting...

2007-08-06T22:26:00.000+08:00

Can u guess what is going to end and start at the same time?

....
....

My holiday is going to end... and my last sem is going to start soon...

At this point of time... I really miss those days that BBC and I spent in Taipei.. shop shop shop and eat eat eat... so fun and relac... And also Japan... so fun! I have learnt many nice things abt japanese and also their patience over little little things... these exercising of patience can really help me to look things in another perspective and learnt to appreciate more... hopefully... haha... And also phuket! The food posioning incident and the fun there with my cousin... my cousin and I can really entertain ourselves man... haha... So much fun!

As my Hong Kong trip, which is on this coming wed, is drawing nearer and nearer, I am getting excited and happy! This time round I not going with my passengers, not BBC, not my cousin, but Bond59! Though Kelvin will not be going with us due to his busy schedule, we will still think about him when we are there.

These few days I have been busy going to my friends' bday party, busking practices, gym (though still.. haiz... dun mention) and final yr project workshop.

Let me first toke abt Eleen's bday... I must say her bday was a great success. Coz I can see everyone enjoyed himself very much. Though she kept telling us that her other friends are rather quiet type, but when it comes to games... her frens were really sporty and fun! And I think Eleen had enjoyed herself very much and loved her presents!!! This is the first time I see a bday gal received so many vouchers from so many shops and restaurants. Ha... actually wanted to ask her to share with us... but she must be very fishmongor and use them all for herself! Maybe her bf will not benefit from it also.. haha... joking ah... Anyway in her bday... many of us discovered many new things and then we started bitching others haha... so long nv lepak like that liao... lets do it again when is matt's bday k. its 24 Aug! (Not his bday la... just that his bday celebration is delayed as all of us are too busy! haha... actual bday: 10 Aug). Anyway _ _ _ _ _ _ _ let grace know liao... for those who are not updated... haha... I was shocked when the decision was made... haha so sudden! Then I also kanna many embrassing situations... esp the intro one.. damn pai sei... haha... will keep contact... haha... JIAN... scolding myself...

As for my busking practices... I enjoyed myself coz Candy's chero is really very nice... I would say very her lo... haha... but really very nice and cool! Very technique! gd! I will definately try my best and hope that on the actual day dun forget steps... Stress! for the time being...

Gym! haiz... i think I ate too much la... no effect and my tummy simply getting worst... haha... nvm... after hong kong then carry on work on it... haha.. everytime say that!!! so sick of myself! haha... cannot make it.

FYP workshop... this workshop is supposed to be a preperation thingy before the sem commenced. For now, rather stressed by the amount of things to learn by ourselves and the marathon against time to complete the project... a bit overstress. But I think this stress is rather a good one... coz it actually will determine how much effort and worries I am going to put in for this project when I am back from HK.

Eleen and those who have the photos for eleen's bday.. pls send them to me!!! XIE XIE!

Hope that this HK trip will be as fun as Europe or even better... and hope that my FYP will not kill me... see ya!

Phuket Photo Sharing

2007-07-23T23:57:00.001+08:00

Almost forgot to post some of the photos take at Phuket... haha... think maybe was the bad experience on the food posioning issue... thats y din really remember to post. Here you go!

Probably the cause of my food poisoning...

The group of 6 passengers

2007-07-23T23:08:00.001+08:00

Despite all the misfortunate events happened on me at Japan. I met up many a group of very nice passengers. We spent many time together, mostly during Universal Studio and Disneyland. We even had some drinking session in one of their hotel room. They were really very nice.

For your info, they did not know one another before the trip, but now everyone has become good friends. Two couples were married and this trip was their honeymoon. They even planned for a gathering session on 5 Aug at Fish and Co. Very nice group of people...

Here are some of the pictures we took in Japan.

They like to take pictures with the local people there... thats y u can find many pictures with strangers. ha...

The guys even jio me to go Hot spring together... haha... feel so awkward. But overall ok la... army also like that one mah...

More pictures about me and myself!

What an experience...

2007-07-23T22:52:00.001+08:00

1) From Singapore to Tokyo (Narita Airport), the flight was delayed for 2hrs due to Typhoon number 6.
2) Connecting flight from Narita Airport to Osaka Itami Airport had left when we reached Tokyo. We missed the flight because of the 2 hrs delay in Singapore.
3) Airport arranged another flight for us but was at another airport, Haneda Airport, which was 2 hrs bus journey away.
4) We left Narita Airport for Haneda Airport at 7.30pm and arrived at 9pm.
5) As dinner will not be provided anymore due to the late hours, 20 mins were given for buying of food at the minimart store.
6) At 9.35pm, everyone must be at the gate and ready to board the plane which was leaving at 9.50pm.
7) When we reached OSAKA Kansai Airport, we finally met our Tour Guide. And that was a damn big relieve for me!

As you can see the sequence of events that happened on the first day, I was almost gone crazy and lost! Coz I gonna do all the stuff without knowing Jap language, and without the TOUR GUIDE! It was just like a nightmare... 30 ppl following me... this is really a no joke situation!

This trip wasn't as pleasant and fun as last time. There were many complaints for the tour guide from the passengers. And personally I feel that the tour guide's tone was very commanding and demanding for most of the times. And he did not actually toke much throughout the whole journey.

So inorder to save my ass... I told the company about the incidents and my thoughts for the whole journey. And I really hope that I will not see this tour guide again in the future...

All right this is the Tour Guide... he has a nick name given by the passengers... the "In Chek" (Sergeant Major)... see... even the passengers also feel that his tone is demanding and commanding at times... haiz...

My 14 July day

2007-07-15T04:11:00.000+08:00

Today... I must say... is a tough day for me... Morning I woke at at 8am for tution and then follow by busking practice at 10.30. Follow that, I went to Cali to take a shower before meeting Bond59 for Harry Porter at 2pm show. After which, we had a long discussion, or rather a discussion trying to accomodate each and everyone constraint. This discussion is about where to have our dinner. Eventually we went for Speggedies (Duuno got spell the restaurant name wrongly anot). Surprisingly, the food there was very nice! Think will most likely go back again! We had a long chat and I actually dozed off but no one spot me doing that haha! After which, I went to buy a cake for my cousin's bday celebration at Pump room later on... During the partying, I was totally self-entertained... haha... coz my cousin was busying entertaining her guests ma... so understandable.

For the whole bloody day, the passengers keep calling me to ask regarding Typhoon in Japan... Is totally understandable their worries and concerns... After trying to reassure them that so far no problem with our journey and we will follow our plan as usual... One of them can still ask me to call the manager to see whether got any latest news anot... I almost wanna Fark her upside down man... Who the hell will know exactly whether Tokyo will be affected but the tyhoon tomolo morning??? And I felt so silly calling my manager at 10.30pm and asking this stupid question as if he was the weather predictor like that... haiz... dunno wat to say... weather this kind of thing can only predict ma... how to accurately tell you le???

Actually, most importantly, I realised something today... And the processing of realising it was tough and tedious for me... coz I was tired and lack of sleep... so a bit frasturated at times. Therefore, I keep telling myself is all because I was tired... lack of sleep... thats y angry and upset abt certain things... But sometimes... certain little stuff can let me realise, or rather understand myself and people around me better. You may not understand what I am trying to say here... thats my purpose of doing so... hahaha... coz I am not going to specifically say out these feelings and thoughts to anyone. So dun bother come and ask me ya! hee...

Anyway pls pray for a fine weather for me in Japan... last one liao.. please be a good and safe one! Wish me luck!

Fun Phuket

2007-07-10T16:13:00.001+08:00

After sharing all the shitty story... There is still some other fun stuff to share about phuket...

We went to this Island hopping and visited a cave which house a sleeping buddha temple. Then we also went to this island called, James Bond Island. The name was given coz the Golden Eye filming took place there. Then we went onboard a floating pontoon awaiting for a sea canoeing ride. No need to paddle one... coz they have a person to each canoe, helping u to paddle... The interesting part of this canoe was that we need to lie flat on the canoe when the canoe go pass a small "cave" or rather hole to reach the other side of the hill. Interesting hoh... ha

There were many shopping places in Phuket. But never buy anything along the street, meaning those "tentage" or shop houses... Coz the price is very EX!!! So we went to this new shopping centre nearby. Wow.. there were many sports apprarels and the price is exceptable. Some more can get VAT refund, so we spent most of our money there...

For this entire trip, my cousin sponsored for my meals! Thank you MAD! Very nice hoh... and not forgetting that her birthday also fall on that saturday... once again HAPPY BDAY!!!

The weather in Phuket was very unpredictable, a moment ago the sky was sunny, a few seconds later, it started to rain. A bit scary coz you know... Tsunami... hee... so a bit scared... keep looking to the sea for any strange swelling of the sea water... haha...

The sad thing is that we did not try any jet ski, banana boat or parachutting... coz of my stupid food poisoning... we never tried that... haiz...

Thats all folks... will upload photos once I got them from my cousin. See ya!

My First Phuket, My First Food Poisoning...

2007-07-10T15:53:00.000+08:00

Count me unlucky or blame my weak stomach...

I had food poisoning for my first visit to Phuket! Really very suai... On day 3, around 3pm, after my last bite on my lunch, immediately, I felt a slight pain on my stomach and after that I knew that I need to go, or rather rush to the toilet for a one big time round! Luckily, I was at a Shopping centre at that point of time, so toilet was quite accessible and clean. BUT there was NO toilet paper in the cubicle, instead they were placed beside the basin area. So I endured the pain and quickly grabbed, yes, I actually grabbed, as much toilet paper as I can and rush to the cubicle.

Imagine, doing this for 4 times!!! And the pain in my stomach is getting from bad to worst... I barely able to stand straight. The pain was something like the stomach bloating and hot feeling. I had no choice but to suggest to my cousin to return to the hotel. I need to rest desperately.

The journey back to hotel was around 10 mins. But this 10 mins seems so long.. so I gonna fast march back. As expected, I went to the toilet once I stepped into the hotel room.

For the whole bloody phuket trip, I shitted for 13 times k! My ass had almost torn apart! kaoz....

The investigations
The Previous Night Dinner
This may be the most possible cause of the whole food poisoning thing. Coz I actually ate half of the oyster that my cousin forced me to eat. I do not like to eat those shell stuff but since I was already there, and my cousin said is very fresh and no fishy taste at all, I gave it a try. I think this raw oyster maybe the reason ba... though my cousin also ate it and did not had any food poisoning signs...

The Morning Breakfast
This should not be the cause of the problem, since the stuff I ate was normal and nothing raw or uncooked. Furthermore, if anything is wrong with the breakfast, then I think most of the residents will start to complain liao...

The lunch
I ate this Thai style salad with unripped papaya... this unripped papaya may also be the cause, but since I just ate it, it should not be so fast for my diarrhoea to start.

Conclusion: Should be the oyster!

Just had my visit to the doctor today. Still recovering desperately...

IPPT

2007-07-05T00:46:00.000+08:00

A busy day for me actually... esp during the nite time, which was just now, busy ironing loads of clothings and packing my bag for tml Phuket. It seems to me that I will somehow forgot to bring something... haha... dunno y. Is just a feeling.. hopefully that thing is not too impt or can be bought easily and cheaply at thailand. I intend to buy a few clothings for my mum since she like the clothings there.

Well, as you can see that my topic of the day is not about all the stuff I said above. Is about my IPPT!!!

My lazy Student

2007-07-02T22:58:00.000+08:00

I almost vomitted blood today!!! This student of mine has been with me for almost 1 yr plus I think... He will NEVER complete the homework I tasked him to do! NEVER OK! Not even once for all these time! Every session, I will spend 15 mins to scold him for not doing homework and I am so sick of him! The only reason for me to keep teaching him is for the tuition fee only!

This student is not only LAZY! But also a freaking LIAR! He can come out with all sort of reasons for not doing his homework! One time, he said he lost his pencil case, then cannot do my homework! WTF rite... can't he just get a pen else where and start doing??? U mean no pencil case means no need go exams!??!!?!!?! OMG... last week, I punished him for not knowing wat is prime numbers and factors. Coz this syllabus was taught in the begining of the yr. Yet he dunno at all now! So I asked him to write the definition for both 100 times! Today, he can come and tell me he lost that piece of paper! WTF! So before I left, I wrote them again and pasted it on his cupboard... make sure he do it!

I bought some assessment books for him to do along when he went to China with his family. But I forgot to tear the answers script out. Guess wat.. today when I marked his book... 100% correct! I threw those books on him... and he still dare to deny for the first time when I asked him to confess! Wat a student rite... kaoz!!!!

Really.. not because of the money! I will never continue with him! he is such a demoralising thing for all the tutors out there! Before I forget, I will call his father to tell him about his son's act!!! Bad child, bad student!

Hokkaido Photo Sharing

2007-06-24T14:02:00.003+08:00

Yoyo... here are some of the photos I took at Hokkaido...

Food that I conquered at Hokkaido... Mostly the meals will have alot of sea food.

The strawberries were picked from the farm itself... They really taste very sweet and so fresh! Really... You can taste the wildness in them! haha... tasty...

This lady is the Tour Guide... she is a Singaporean but very jap! Very pretty hoh... actually her age... ok I shall not mention it. hee... and of course.. the usual tour group photo...

Over at Lake Akan... the most populat star is the MARIMO! It is kind of algae in spherical shape.. I guess many see this before at Takashimaya. It is a living thing that can grow by itself with no food fed to it. This marimo is damn popular there and we even took a cruise trip to an island, to see its ancestors! haha... It took around 30 plus years to grow 3 times its original size...

Finally... I conquered the Onsen, the public hot spring, in Japan... haha... very shiok and not as "weird" la... quite relaxing... I went to the outdoor one.. but of course la.. can't take the pic for you... haha...

Yoshinoya bento... Auntie Annie Passion Fruit... Orange Julius Mango Original drink... Takobachi... haha... yet... my cousin told me she is not full at the end of all these crazy intake! haha...

For me I also a bit siao... along the way... I bought one cargo pants, one t-shirt and one shirt. A bit ex though but I think worth it la...

At around 8pm, Korin ask me whether wanna join them for lepak session... So after meeting up them, we decided to go to Butter Factory. Haha... So end up we still go chiong. Eh... this time round, I was damn tired... So maybe became a spoiler lo... hee... forgive me ya!

Shi yong's china exploration trip

2007-06-24T13:34:00.000+08:00

This Shi yong hoh... after conquering US, now he was at China to conquer another big brother of the world. He was very advernturous I must say... I think I can't do it man... I will be so OTK and paranoid out there man...

So I was damn sleep back at the airport... erm... the mood was also maybe a bit frasturated... so my bonds... pls forgive me ya... not my true self haha...

Yoyo... I am already back home liao! Today flight is a smooth and early one... Though I actually rush to the gate. This is because.... I was eating udon soup before going thru the custom ma... then I slowly take my time to see see look look. Then I think... hmm i still got half an hour before the plane flies off... then I think again... hmm the queue at the custom may be a lot of ppl... So abit scared lo... then faster walk. While queuing for the custom... I saw a Jap lady holding on to NH 111. THATS my FLIGHT! Then I think... ok wat... I am not very late... just that the gate has opened and everyone had boarded the plane! haha... omg... so I walk damn fast and then got these two jap gal (stuff) escort me to the gate... haha.. so I actually fast march and ran there lo... Hmm wondering everyone is it waiting for me... anyway the plane departed early... so arrived Singapore also early lo...

Eh... this time round I bought a lot of food la... alot of chocolates and.... chocolates.... really... coz Hokkaido is famous of its Royce and White Lover's chocolates! So... next time u meet me... remind me to bring some for you ok!

Upon arrival... I received this private call... then my first thought was... eh??? I thought mother should be at the Airport to pick me? No leh... the number should be my home num... so end up was true that my mum was still at home... saying that my godfather can't pick me to day! omg... so I gonna take my big luggage to squeeze with all the after work ppl in the train... but end up I went to Paragon and have a dinner with my cousin. guess wat... we ate jap food... sushi te! omg... not jap food again lo... but well... ok la... still can la... hee coz free mah... haha

I guess… I like Hokkaido la… just that I think… I will not spend so much money going there again… coz is not my cup of tea… no shopping for clothings… only chocolates and food there… Along the way in the bus… you can see nothing but mountains, trees and farms… haha… nothing else… Maybe some cows and horses lo… ah ya, you may think that these are beautiful scenery… tell me about it when you are going to see these things for 6 days!

The green color algae le… the one you can put into a bottle one that sells in Takashimaya some time ago… then you no need to feed it… it will grow by itself one… ya… I went to see their ancestors… like bowling balls size lo… and it took like over 50 years to be that size.

Day 4

This morning, I started with a jogging session along the river… guess wat… I wore a navy short and a t-shirt… and started my run. OMG… its freaking cold… But I thought ok la… just cold a bit… I should be able to reach my destination, the waterfall, where I went last evening… cannot ah… almost there liao but my head was damn painful… headache ah! Very very pain… never had such a painful headache before… So I eventually walked back to the hotel… I think was the cold that prevents my body to produce enough heat while running… and furthermore, I was loosing heat fast. That’s y I think my brain can’t take the drastic change of body temperature… anyway luckily I was alive back to the hotel… haha

Then I immediately hide myself under the blanket before I prepared myself for another round of outdoor onsen. Well… Nice scenery BUT dirty water!!! Omg… You can actually see those “dead skin”, I think, all over the water! Very disgusting… Never knew that when I went last nite… I also not sure whether my first onsen also like that anot… So… I went for a second bath before heading back to my room.. haha

Well…. Today I went to

1) Hokkaido Fox Village – erm… well… wat do u expect… play with the fox lo… and… continue to play with the fox lo… haha… nothing else
2) Pink Moss Garden – Well… all the sakura had already dead! Left an area of 5m x 5m pink moss only… so erm… also nothing much…. Haha
3) An active volcanic place – erm… also nothing much except that the volcano mountain keep smoking none stop…. Ok that’s lame I know.
4) A lake – Erm… over here, if you can take a photo of the lake with the so call legendary dinosaur emerging from the water… you will be awarded 100,000 yen. I am thinking of photoshopping it haha…

That’s all folks… btw, the hotel sucks.. and I got this weird feeling for the whole nite! You got wat I mean ya!

1) Kitaichi Glass Complex / Otaru Music Box Museum – This place resembles Europe. The buildings and streets are like those in Europe countries. Very nice. Though… of course Europe is better la… Those accessories containers in the shops are damn nice! Very very nice. If I were a gal… I will buy like 10 come back…

2) Ishiya Chocolate Factory – Another wonderful and kids’ dreamland as the whole place was so nicely decorated. Many things to see esp how they pack the chocolate… the production line… I managed to try to decorate my own! Yea! Next time show u guys!

3) Ginga-no-taki and Ryujei-no-taki waterfalls – They are known as the men and lady waterfall… coz one the water rush down faster than the other… haha… wat an explanation rite… Not bad… Coz I think this was my first time saw a real waterfall… haha… suo ku rite…

Today’s hotel was great! Coz I was sleeping at the Tatami.. the traditional jap sleeping place.. those straw mattresses placed on the floor one le… ya.. those in the movies kind… then the onsen… another outdoor one! Wow… tml morning I planned to wake up early and then go for a run… coz I really wanna run around and see the mountains and rivers and waterfalls around here… then go back to have another round of onsen outdoor bath!

Today, I had visited quite a number of places. They are

1) Shiraoi Ainu Village – They are one of the very first to stay in Hokkaido many hundreds years ago (actually… I din pay attention to the speaker… haha… so dunno the exact number of years). Hmm… To me… ok lo… norm… I think I dunno how to appreciate la… Coz I keep looking at those dead dried fishes hanging on the ceiling… and keep wondering… will they taste salty or tasteless… haha
2) Sou-betsu Fruit Farm – Wow wow wow… I actually picked my own strawberries right from the farm! Very great experience! And those strawberries… Mmmm… Very sweet and most importantly… you can really taste the freshness in them!!! By the way, this farm also grows other kind of fruits. But in this season, they produce strawberries only… Other fruits such as cherry and apple.
3) Mt Showa / Bear Ranch – Erm… another piece of boiling lava kept under a piece of rock… haha… And the bears are quite cute actually…. This is my first time seeing bears and they are quite fun to play with… (of course not literally la).
4) Odori Park – Burberry (blue and black label) crazy shopping spree for those aunties… I actually went with them and gave them advice. I should go to the underground shopping centre for my stuff.. But I din… also dunno why… Anyway black label is too ex for me to buy la… so din catch any. In this blue label shop. I saw a very Ayumi kind of salesgal… Then I was thinking of taking photo with her ma… and she said… JioToMaTe (meaning wait for a moment)… Then I stupidly wait while she went to carry on with her work like folding clothes etc… coz I thought she need to attend to customer or something impt to do ma… but after she started to fold her clothes… I KNEW IT!!! She is hanging there selling herself! Haha… so I also dun wanna be a freak standing there hoping she will take with me… so I left lo… haha… Not very pai sei la though…

After that we went back to the hotel… This was my first time trying the onsen, hot spring, coz last time in Tokyo I din try ma… then I went this time lo… Luckily I went…is outdoor onsen!!! Very nice and cooling at nite… The water is very hot of course and your blood will really rush through out ur body one… the feeling is like when u get drunk… your pulse will become faster….

Guess wat… My International Multiplug is SPOLIT!!!! ARGGG…. Angry! I dunno why… By right is working properly on the first nite… but this time doesn’t work… got internet but no power… then I also paisei to borrow from other passengers at such late hour… that’s y I din post this blog on the 2nd day.

That’s all folks!

Day 1 in Hokkaido, Sapporo

2007-06-15T20:35:00.001+08:00

Hihi... I am not at Sapporo, Hokkaido. Before logging on to the internet, I had confirmed twice with the front desk that the internet is free for using... so now abit paranoid that they will ask me to pay for the internet the next morning.

And I got a shock when I log on to blogspot. Everything is in JAP! Omg.. so I can only rely on my memory to tell me which link is to post and which link is to edit and so on... haha...

Before I start, I must really thank the Chans for fetching me to the airport! no joke ok... meet 5.30am and must reach aiport by 6am. Then for them, they still need to collect the car at 5am. Wow... really early and consider they just came back last nite from Europe. THANK YOU!!!

Today was a bit bad when we arrived at Narita Airpot, Tokyo. Some of the stupid passengers took the lauggage and went out to the arrivial hall without informing me. So I waited for these 3 idiots until I check that there were no more lauggage on the belt and thus convinced myself and went out to the arrival hall as well. The story hasn't ended here. Another 3 smart alex went to do domestic check in without the boarding passes which are still with me. Then the airport personel still can let them check in. OMG!!! A bit HO HA here and there then end up I met my tour guide. I think I shall not judge her now since I still dunno her yet. So I must be more positive towards her decisions. Haiz... at Changi airpot there is a little chaos in the seating arrangements and the way to do domestic transfer. Then now at Narita also like that. Haiz... SO CHAOS. or is it me? haha

THE SAD THING! The tour guide said there is no time for the FACTORY OUTLET!!! OMG! I can't believe it. I planned my shopping spree route liao. Then she said that will not happen! SAD! My outlet... my addidas... just less than 1 Km away, yet I have no fate in getting them home to Singapore. Sad... Bo bian... now the shops are closed and will not be opened anytime before we left. No Fate!

So now I have to shop more whenever there is stuff to buy. But in Hokkaido there are only mountains, grass and lakes to see... sightseeing all the way... no shopping! OMG. Think this time I can only look forward for the hot spring. Which I still dunno whether I wanna go anot... shy ma... ha.

I hope that the hotel tml will also have free internet access. Then I can continue to blog! Yea! cross my fingers for now.

I din take much photos today. Think because of all the stupid things happened. Will post some photos tml. IF I have internet access. See ya!

Chans and friends

2007-06-14T23:20:00.000+08:00

Yea... finally Guo Hao and Hui Yee are back from Europe! Today, Yuhua, Shiyong, Kelvin and I went to pick them up at the airport. We went to have an Indonesian dinner and also some desserts at the foodcourt and finally ended up at Coffee Bean.

From the Chans, we got a brief understanding on the lifestyle and culture of Italy and Rome. And I guess we had lots to toke again when we see their photos one day. So exciting to see the photos la...

Most importantly, the Chans brought everyone of us a great surprise! They bought us LV! Yes... is LV! For myself, I got a passport holder coz they know that I wanna go for Air Steward... So a passport holder will be the best present for me. And I really love it. Coz I also have been thinking of owning one... but just that too ex to have one. hee... Previously, I placed my passport in a transparent plastic bag and just carry with me around... so whenever I need to take my passport, I will need to discretely put my hands into my bag, then remove the plastic bag before taking out the passport. Haha... so unglam rite... but now... no need liao lo!

And I guess the other 3 who recevied the presents must be damn happy. Especially yuhua... coz she got the organiser one... she is really very happy about it. Coz this is one of the stuff she has been longing for...

Tml I will be flying off to Japan liao... And because of all these oversea thingy... I found that I have some how lost some touch with my friends... I got this weird feeling when meeting some of my friends... Some how I have miss out something and thus being outcast... Hmm... the feeling is definately not very good. There is something I wanna say... but i think better not... hmm... So my dear friends out there... be more kind to me pls.... hee.

For the last trip in Japan, I really enjoyed my tour. At the same time, whenever I see something... I will think of my friends. For example,
when I see LV, I will think of yuhua.
When I see Polo T, I will think of Ah fat.
When I see chocolates and sweets, I will think of Hui yee.
When I see badminton stuff, I will think of Shiyong.
When I see jersey, esp yellow, orange or red colors one, I will think of Kelvin. When I see very interesting necklace, I will think of my cousin.
When I see "" magazines, I will think of buying one for Matt.
When I see addidas stuff, I will think of winnie.
When I see caps, I will think of Linda.
When I see gold color bags and purse, I will think of Korin.
When I see sponch bob, I will think of Eleen.
When I see black choc, I will think of Joe.
And there are many of you out there that I will definatley think of u when I see something relating to u.... ok. U may think that I abit bo liao saying so many things like that.

Just wanna let u, my friend, know that we are friends forever! Always!

Singapore Drivers

2007-06-06T00:37:00.000+08:00

Today, I drove my friends to the airport as they were going to Italy for holiday. Along the way to and from the airport, I realised that many Singapore drivers DO NOT SIGNAL their thier intentions! I was rather disturbed by all these inconsiderate drviers. You may think that not signalling is a small issue. Yes indeed, but this also show how courteous Singapore drivers are on the road. There was this particular incident when I was drving on the most right hand lane along ECP. There was this farking car high beam me!!! Meaning asking me to give way to him as he was driving faster than me lo! I was at my speed limit and if he was damn in a hurry... then please change ur lane and overtake. Dun come and high beam those cars which are driving correctly.

Why I am so disturbed... last time I wasn't. The reason was that after I came back from Japan... I realised that Singapore drivers really have no courtousy and rude to the road users. In Japan... those front line cars at the junction when red traffic lights were on, they turned off their headlights so that those glaring lights do not cause discomfort for those drove pass in front of them. So considering rite...

I tell you... when Singapore drivers do this, then you can go and buy toto liao... it will never happen one!

Anyway thats all... Hate Singapore Drivers.

Below are the news:

May 27, 4:58 AM EDT

Technical issue forces Japan's ANA to cancel dozens of domestic flights

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's All Nippon Airways Co. repaired a computer glitch that affected its check-in systems for domestic flights Sunday, causing dozens to be delayed or cancelled, a company spokeswoman said.

Japan's No. 2 air carrier was forced to cancel 122 domestic flights because of the glitch, affecting around 19,500 people, ANA spokeswoman Nana Kon said. Another 176 flights were delayed, affecting another 22,400 people, she said.

The carrier's operations at Tokyo's Haneda Airport were most severely affected, though flights from and between regional airports also experienced problems due to the glitch, Kon said.

The company expected to resume normal operations at Haneda after 6 p.m. (0900 GMT), she added.

ANA's international flights were unaffected by the glitch, the cause of which was under investigation, she said.

Haneda Airport is used mainly for domestic flights.

People out there... please pray for my smooth tour ok... thanks!!!

Colmar Tropical

2007-05-25T12:31:00.000+08:00

I wanna introduce this place to you because... YOU SHLD NOT GO!!! haha... Ok la... I will contridict abit.. you can go... but just go and visit and leave ok... never attemp to stay there... coz u will be bored till death...

This tourist attraction place is at KL, along the way to Genting highlands. So meaning the temp there is a bit cold... but not as cold as Genting.

This place is a french-themed small town... A size of about... a soccer field only, or even smaller. Really... there is nothing much there... Only those beautiful arcitects thats all!!! Of course, there are so call tourist attraction places... they are

Rabbit Farm - a farm full of rabbits... and nothing else but rabbits...

Botanic garden - erm... for us, this garden is just like those rainforest along the road. Nothing amazing about.

Japanses garden - erm... just a few japanese deco and wordings around... so i think you can call it japanese garden then...

Ha... so this place... if you are going to genting... just ask the driver to go this place to take photos with the buliding thats all... there is no entrance fee...

The entrance to the Colmar Tropical, quite nice rite.

These buildings are actually the hotel itself... but inside is just normal...

This was taken at night and the lightings were quite nice.

We took damn many pictures on this stupid bridge... coz nothing where to go ma... ha

Ok... this is a better view of the bridge.

Another pic taken at another small corner...

Taken at Jap garden... really damn bored down there... ha

Erm... the jap deco resemble jap garden???

The rabbit farm... nothing to do rite... so we went to chase and catch the rabbit.. haha

The pathetic garden (Botanic garden)...

Despite visiting such a boring place... we discovered a new thing about yuhua... she like to play with spider!!! And thus... she became our official spiderwoman!!! haha

SEE how huge the spider is!!! and damn er xin can...

Thats all folks!

Stupid Hip Hop class by Chuck

2007-05-18T23:13:00.000+08:00

Today, I attended the hip hop class at Cali by this person called Chuck...

Previously, I attended his class and found that his class SUX BIG TIME! Imagine two eights of waving hands from the back to the front........ speechless rite... and his warm up... no words to describe... just suz...

Then today, since I was so free... I was thinking.... hmm I think I shld give him another chance... Then I went to his class... as usual his warm up suz. Never mind, I just hope for a better choreo. Wa... He taught like superman ah... so fast!!! Coz he was using his previous classes choreo where most of the people there already learnt. Thats y he taught so fast. So I was like an idiot can't catch up and dun remember the steps at all! In the end, I left his stupid class! Abit pissed. And I think I will write a feedback on him! haha...

Bitchition ended...

My cousins

2007-05-18T22:28:00.003+08:00

I promised my cousin that I will blog about her... so here I go...

She...

is my cousin, Madeline.

We are very close eversince young. Despite her "education", she is doing very well together with her boyfriend in their very own Aircon company (www.techvace.com). So if you have any aircon problem or wanna buy a new one, please contact her thought the website.

"Ill treatment"
I could still remember when I was 12 years old, I liked to visit her terrace house. Then she would taught me all the brands like Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, Moschino and many more... So eversince then... I became brand conscious. Since I was young back then, so we would sleep side by side... dunno whether is it out of purpose, she would turn the aircon to the coldest and then hide herself in the thick blanket. Leaving me with the damn thin and small piece of pink color blanket!!! Ok... I was not so stupid rite... so I told her I was cold and wanna more cover... she replied after several requests and give me a portion of the blanket where half of my body can squeeze in... evil rite... One secret about her that I wanna share with all of u... last time when I stayed at her house, during the night, she would turned into a CAT Woman... coz she would climbed out of her room window and door gate (remember she stayed in a terrace house last time) discretely. You guys will think that then that will be good. Coz I can have the whole blanket for myself... YOU ARE WRONG! Since she strayed out discretely during the night for party... that means her parents dunno! so... in order to create "illusion" she would put her boaster and softtoy under the thick blanket to create the image where by she was still sleeping in the room... So... I end up also no blanket... then u think I can turn the aircon to a higher temperature rite... you are right... but the problem is... I CAN'T find the damn aircon controller!!! So... this was those painful yet sweet memories I had back then... haha... madeline gonna kill me if she sees this...

Anyway my cousin is a very good person... and we had lots of fun together... of couse... not forgetting my two other cousins... elieen and weiliang (they are siblings)

Thats all folks...

Unbelievable meet ups

2007-05-17T22:23:00.001+08:00

This blog shld be posted yesterday... here u go...

Event one
All of us met this group of people at Singapore Changi Airport before taking the flight to Taipei. So we came across many young Singaporeans taking the same flight... At the same time, Calvin saw his friends. So we say hi to his friends. So we flew to Taipei with many youngsters on the same flight which was very noisy and resulted a sleepless and tiring journey. So at this point of time, nothing interesting and significant happened. Is just an impression that so many youngsters and never really remember who are calvin friends, so everyone on the plane just seems to be like some how related through friends' friends. (hmm hope u get the idea)

Event two
Korin, Winnie and I went to Luxy to try out the "Ye Dian" (Club). Then while I was waiting for these two princesses to go toilet to "bu chuang" (makeup), I overheard a familiar Singapore asscent. Then I realised that there was a group of Singlish speaking people beside me. I looked over and found that they were very familiar. The first thought in my mind was "Heh.... I think they are Calvin's friends who we met at Changi Airport that day, so coincident!". So I say hi to them and asked them whether they were Calvin's friends. So one of the guy replied yes and he also mentioned that Calvin was in Tai Zhong... ??? ... So I thought maybe he dunno Calvin was with us all along... so I also never pursued the location of Calvin further. Then we were like just chat for a while while waiting Korin and Winnie. Then I told Winnie and Korin that they were Calvin's friends we met at the Airport... Subsequently, we saw this group of Singaporean Calvin's friends throughout the night and somehow very qiao, as in the club so big but still able to keep bumping into them.

Event three
We went back to hotel and asked Calvin about his friend and he said he dunno this guy. hahahah. so I actually recognised the wrong person... so never mind... nothing special... just pai sei and thats it. thinking the story had ended... but it wasn't. On the last day before we left Taipei, we saw them once again at the MRT. Then once again so qiao... then korin said a magic word... If we saw this guy again in Singapore, we must make friends and be good friends! All of us were like, where got so qiao one... come on la...

Event four
Who knows!!! Korin, Winnie and I today met up for some chit chat session. And we met this guy AGAIN! haha... really cannot believe it.. so qiao... Then all of us were like laughing and showing that kind of UNBELIEVABLE look... So end up we talked to this person who in the first place, no one knew him... then later becoz of so many times of met ups coincidentally... all of us decided to make friends.

Four times of met up... haha... where in the first place, none of us knew them and none of them knew us... then later we became friends... So many unbelivable met ups. Dunno wat to say... so funny... so conincidental events...

till now... is hard to believe this is really happening...

Unbelievably true

Fashion Sense

Omg… there are so many things to say about Taipei… The people there are so beautiful and their dressing sense is so much better than us… So people out there, make a “fashion” day for yourself by dressing beautifully and walk along orchard. I bet many will praise you for the great effort in making orchard road so happening. Haha. BTW, I can tell you something. Most of the people there are like Cai Yi Lin and Xiao Zhu wo…. Coz everyone is so beautiful…

Erm... of course this is the only exception in Taiwan... Anyway this is the famous Xiang Chang La Mei at Jiu Fen!

Food

No need to say much… FANTASTIC!!! But… you must prepare to try all food and also… get ready to have a battle with your stomach; you need a strong stomach to withstand all the stomach pain because of all the food (some are not very clean), you also need to battle off those build up fats you attained while having all the heavenly food.

Bubble Tea (spoilt by choices but still... I love my Bubble Milk Tea)

The pearls are free one... so many like no need money...

The DA JI PA!!! Big rite..

Mee Sua... very nice! Can't find the same taste in Singapore, not even the Geylang tou hua

Shopping

As usual… We shopped till drop… There were so many things to buy and we are spoilt with choices… Winnie bought a lot of Adidas stuff and Korin bought a lot of bags, shoes and local produced food. As for Matthew, he bought a lot of stuff for his friends. So next time when he go oversea… dun stand on ceremony, just ask him to help you to buy… hee. Dun say I say one ah. And for Calvin… he bought an unexpected stuff back to Singapore… And I had only discovered it when we touched down at Singapore. Guess wat… Tea Egg (Chai Ye Dan)!!! He put in a plastic bag and just carry it up on plane… omg.. unbelievable. And I think he really love it… coz every night he will go to 7-11 to buy 3X tea eggs to eat before he sleep. Haha.

Thats my shopping spree collection... still got food but nv take pic...

And we saw SHE before we left Taipei on the last day! Damn packed with all the "Fen Si" (fans)

I think that’s enough… picture says a thousand words… see for yourself!

Happy Terence
