Pizza Hut & Rush Hour 3

After school today, Yixuan and I met Kit, then we went to Pizza Hut at Jurong Point for lunch, wheee~ We ordered the $5.95 Lunch Express sets (student price, of course! kekeke...). Other than enjoying our lunch (cum dinner, in my case), we talked about our first week of the semester - all the funny and weird stuff, etc. It's really amazing, week 1 has ended!!! Time has passed too quickly once again, haha... XD

Here are some pics taken during lunch~

Yixuan & Kit - both in white =P

Pepsi & Soup of the Day (a bit too watery, but taste nice)

Yixuan's Hawaiian Pizza

Kit's Pasta (sorry, forgot the name, hehe..)

My Peps 'N' Spice *yum yum*

Hut's Platter - shared among us ^_^

Then in the evening I watched Rush Hour 3 with my dad and sis. Cineleisure was so damn packed! Both outside and inside the building. There were actually 2 queues formed near the 1st floor's lift area, probably to control the crowd using the lifts - so we took the long way up via the escalators, haiz..

Now about the movie. Lots of hilarious jokes throughout the whole screening, even the bloopers shown in the credits (usually shown in most of Jackie Chan's movies) were highly entertaining, lol.. I really laughed a lot tonight - probably too much... It seems that there so much humour was put into the movie that the thrill during the car chase and fighting scenes, for example, didn't get into me much.. I would've liked the movie a bit better if I didn't laugh that much while watching the 'supposed-to-be' thrilling scenes.

Two words to describe the storyline - quite predictable (there was only one unpredictable part of the movie, but shall not leave any spoilers here, hehe..). The plot's not developed deep at all in the movie, it's rather simple. Quite disappointed with the story, but other than that, I guess the movie managed to relax my nerves with all of the humour after the first week of school, haha...

So if you're looking for a great plot and action, don't watch it! BUT if you still want to watch it anyway, waiting for the VCD would do fine too =P

PEACE~

Happy National Day!

A shout-out to Singapore: HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY!!!













Haha, that's right! Today Singapore celebrates its 42nd National Day. I didn't go out at all today, so I don't know what it's like outside. Unlike the last few years, this time I didn't get to see NDP or even its preview in the flesh, sobz... so I only watch it on TV today T_T


It's definitely different in many ways, especially since it's held at Marina Bay. Although the venue doesn't hold as many spectators as in the National Stadium, the whole place including the huge floating stage looks great. All of the performances - dances, army showcase, music - are even more fantastic! The whole event made good use of the water surroundings, like having beautiful fountains here and there, having a lighted boat sail from the other side towards the stage, huge lighted balloons representing colourful jellyfish flying over the waters... Pity that I didn't get to experience everything there, but I still enjoyed the whole event at home, hehe... ^_^

This week is also my first week going back to school. It's great to see more of my friends so far. On top of that, a few of them who already finished their NS period have joined us in NTU this semester! I've met a few of my JC classmates, and also those who were in different classes last time and I didn't expect to meet in NTU, hahaha...

As for the classes... so far so good, not bad. Mostly are introductions to the new modules and what's expected of us for the semester. Regrettably, I actually dozed off during the last few minutes of 3 lectures already... AAAAAaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! That's not good at all... don't know is it because I was really sleepy or the lecturers are too boring, but I definitely was paying attention before I was suddenly thrown into dreamland, lol.. Hopefully I won't sleep as easily for the rest of the semester. CAFFEINE TO THE RESCUE!!! >=D

Last Tuesday I also attended the very first lesson for my elective. The area of studies for this module itself is already interesting, and we're expected to make our own interactive art installation as our final project! How cool is that? Haha... It won't be easy of course, but will try my best and hope will learn more and more new skills. And maybe I can get some ideas for my FYP in 4th year? Ohohohoho... XD

I shall end this entry here then. The pictures from the Indonesian fair are almost ready, will post them here as soon as possible, hehe... Good night~ =)

Backdated Pics

Yup, I went to the Indonesian Fair earlier today. But I've just reached home not long ago and I took too many pics of the event, so will resize and post them here tomorrow instead, kekeke =P

For this entry, I'll post some backdated pics, hehe... I finally got the rest of the pics of Jinny's birthday, and here are the group pics ^_^

So many people!!!!

DD Group XD

There's a similar pic in one of my previous entries,
but I think this is better, lol



While I'm posting backdated pics, figured that I'll also include the pics from Shiva's 21st birthday last June, nyahaha...

What are they discussing? =\

A small group pic before some of us leave


And before I go to sleep, below are some pics that I took during work about a month ago (*Note: the pics has nothing to do with work at all, hahaha...). It's time to go to school again tomorrow! So most probably I won't be posting as much as the past 3 months of holiday, hehe... Oh well, shall see how it goes. Until next time then XD

Ready.... FIGHT!

Oh no!!! He devoured the jellybean!
GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!!!

The Last Week of Holidays

Sorry for not updating this blog for more than a week... it's mainly because I didn't have the mood to write, muahahahaha... So today I'll just give a summary of what's been going on for the past week =P

I spent most of the time slacking at home actually, hehe... Especially last weekend when it rained a lot and the weather was rather colder for a few days. I played a bit of video games, watch tv, read comics... but I definitely slept a lot, nyahaha... Oh, a few days ago I also finally went for a dental check-up (after not going for quite long, lol). My teeth are generally fine, but there's one problem... which is caused by one single stupid wisdom tooth! To cut a long story short, it has to be removed! The dentist explained why and how, etc... "It doesn't have to be removed immediately, but the day will come", she said in the end... Just thinking about it is freaking me out! WAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< ...and so I was rather depressed for the rest of that day... I don't try to imagine the whole process much now, but still have to keep mentally prepared... for 'the day that will come'. Sobz.. T_T

Moving on to the happier stories, lol... What else did I do for the rest of the week? Well, a few days ago was my sis (Lidya) 17th birthday! Since it was a weekday, we just had a simple birthday dinner at home. I always love the birthday noodles that my mom cooks, yum yum... =P The day after that, I went for a 5-hour Kbox session with Waifong and Kenneth (I think Jinny was also coming at first but she couldn't make it in the end). It was the first time that I sang for so long (with breaks in between, hehe..), however it was so fun that time passed by much quicker than I expected! Then again, the after-effect was quite evident when we had dinner after that, because I almost lost my voice when we all talked and talked, hahaha... guess I didn't drink enough then ^_^; But I definitely had a great time! Looking forward to our next Kbox session, whee~ (don't know when, but I'm still looking forward to it)

I spent the next few days tidying up my stuff in my room, which is not really completed yet but almost, heh... and yesterday I finally found out the result of the electives allocation for the new semester - I've got my first-choice elective! Yipeee~ It's called 'Interactive Media Workshop I'. I definitely will enjoy it no matter how heavy the workload is (I hope, lol...) So now my timetable's quite finalized - I still couldn't get a less than 5-day week timetable, haiz... However, my classes are spread out quite fine, and there's only one day every week that has an 8.30 AM class - which also means I don't have to wake up too early for the rest of the week, muahahahaha.... XD

A few stuff happened today. Firstly, my sis decided to celebrate her birthday today by having BBQ with her classmates. About 15 ppl came, I think, and there were lots of food prepared! I only took a few sticks of sausages and crab-sticks, and also a bit of corn, because I didn't want to end up gaining more weight, hehehe... Judging on my current 'situation', I seriously need to exercise more... argh! Oh wellz -_-

Later in the evening, my other sis, Linda, and I went to meet my dad at Kinokuniya, since we thought that the 20% discount promotion ends today. But when we arrived there, we found out that the offer ends on 7 August intead, lol... Fyi, the promotion's called '
KINOKUNIYA PRIVILEGE CARD - 3RD ANNIVERSARY MEMBERS' EXCLUSIVE PROMOTION!' Yup, it's for members only. If you are not a member yet, however, you can still apply for the privilege card in any of the bookshop. Click on the pic below for more details.

My purchase for the day is: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle artbook! Including the cover art, content and the free clear file, there's a total of 80 beautiful full-colour illustrations, whee~ Finally another illustration book added to my collection, hehe... *sitting in front of the book shelf and say, "Preciousssssss"* Below are a few shots of the book (didn't take any pictures of the content because it's quite thick, don't want to damage it by opening it too wide, kekeke...).

Front cover - Syaoran & Sakura

Back cover - Kurogane, Fye & Mokona

The clear file that goes with it XD


When I was out, I found out that there's an Indonesian Fair at Civics Plaza, Takashimaya. There were a few booths featuring arts and crafts from Indonesia (it was quite late when I checked it out so I only took a peek). And according to my dad, there were a few dance performances and a fashion show today. The fair will still go on tomorrow, if I'm not wrong.. will be going there to check out more of the activities, and hopefully more performances. Will blog about it tomorrow if I'm home early, hehe...

Until then, ta ta for now~ =D
