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

A weekend of 21st Birthdays

The past weekend I went for two different 21st Birthday celebrations, two days in a row! Hahaha...Met different groups of people on both days, but both parties were enjoyable =)


On Saturday, it was Jinny's birthday party. I met Waifong and Gin at the mrt station, then the three of us headed to her house. It's supposed to be not a very long walk, but somehow we ended up making a few cuts and turns, walked in a big circle. Good thing we bumped into Sarah along the way, or we would've walked completely the opposite direction, lol... but even so, we still had to walk a BIIIIG circle until we finally reached our destination. The whole journey took quite a long time...we actually walked from when there was still sunlight until dark! Hahaha... XD

In the party we met quite a number of familiar faces, mostly from NTU. Good food, great company - really enjoyed myself there. There was even a pool table and karaoke room there, so everyone had something to do if they're not just sitting around and chatted with one another (too bad I was too shy to join the karaoke group there, just sat and watched the others singing away, hehe...). Thanks Jinny for inviting us to your party, and hope you had as much a great time, or even a greater time there ^_^

I managed to take a few pictures there. There was also a DD group picture and a group picture of everyone in the function room, but not in my camera, haiz... will go after Jinny for those pics and update them here =P So here's what I have~

All were taking turns for group pictures
(seems that Waifong and Gin caught me taking this pic, oops =P)

Since it wasn't our turn yet, let's take our own pics, kekeke...
Here's Waifong & I

Joel & Gin

(quite a lot of people, right?)

Now moving on to Sunday evening, this time it's Mingzhi's birthday. He actually also invited our class people from yj, unfortunately many were busy with work and other stuff... so in the end only three of us went for his party: me, Yixuan and Nas. Oh well, it's better than nothing, hehe... Again, it was slightly raining o our way to his house, and we had to searched quite a bit for the place.. But this was not as bad as the misadventure in the previous day - The day before, we had to walk around a neighbourhood. Whereas this time, we were walking in circles in a carpark building! Wahahaha... and good thing we didn't have to walk for too long =P

Other than our group, Mingzhi also invited (I think) his secondary school friends, and the majority there were his family and relatives. We could see how close the members of his family are that evening. All of us ate and watched a hong kong drama on tv. I've watched that series before, so I know the whole story, hehehe... and good thing it has English subtitles, if not most prob Nas would be quite lost there XD

So thanks Mingzhi for the great time, although the majority of our classmates couldn't make it, heh... I also took a few pictures there, but just gonna upload one group pic here:

210 cum Computing class group =)

Ah, and before I end this entry, we found something interesting hanging on Mingzhi's room door. Also took a pic of it, just to share with all of you (click on the thumbnail for a clearer view). Enjoy~

so which one are you? =P

New Template!

Yeah~ Changed my blog skin to this one for now - just a simple layout, but I like the image and words of the blog banner so much, hehehe... It seems that when I switch to the skin, the font size of my previous entries appear smaller... so I've edited the last few entries. Do inform me if you think the size is still too small, I'll definitely use a bigger font in the future =P

Hopefully the next skin will be my own design..... or maybe.... someday.....

Ah, also a shout out before 25 May ends: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VIKREM!!! \(^0^)/
