movie marathon.

impromptu is the magic word to lots of fun, when a two men dinner turns into a three men one. the fish and chips at amk is just great, finally satisfied my craving for so many days.. haha.

was supposed to meet up with ray for movie, and asked zhihong to come too and included a dinner gathering at amk.. first movie was scandal makers, requested by ray, but also a movie which i had wanted to see too.


didn't really liked the starting part- find the daughter too irritating by just dashing in to the father's life and expect things to go by her way. but overall the whole show is a warm themed one and the songs in it are so nice. cha tae-hyun also did a good job in protraying the father, who has a daughter and grandson out of sudden. a very different side of him from my sassy girl!


after the movie, the trio felt that its just still early at 9 la.. and so they decided to go for another movie! physco-ed them to watch the proposal, which is just real good! laughed to tears at so many parts, and also loved the sarcastic language both the leads used intensively.

its my first movie marathon, and i think it will definitely not be the last. the feeling of watching the films you want at one go is definitely shiok. the next time, we must include jingyao! talk cock sessions are never the same without him.

a packed sunday!

yesterday was a packed, fun filled day. first was met up with weihao, angie and woo heng at tampines 1 for weihao's birthday!

its my first time there. erm nothing much to shop lei but the food there is great! go to manpuku at level 3 for all the japanese food there! we had the fruit pies, which is fabulous. we also made a mental note to come back for the ramen, sushi and such!

our pies at manpuku.

we love polaroid!

angie and the present i made for her!

oh yea, we saw charlene choi! she is so chio! woohoo =)=)

after that was shopping and exploring around the new mall, which we found a pretty good shui jian bao. i'll definately be back there for more!

later in the evening was steamboat at bugis with jon and gang for his birthday, which i ate 6 crabs unknowingly. damn guilty, cos i shouldnt be eating so much of it at all due to my high cholesterol! =(

happy birthday hao! happy birthday jon! =D

random rants.

some random rants for the past few days,

sat was spent at jaime's bdae. met up with jingyao in the morn to get his prez, and i must say this is one of the shortest time i spent to get some one's prez. its always good with jingyao cos he would make it chop chop done.

but in the end, jingyao fell sick in the late afternoon and did not go for the party.. so i ended up going with only meepok, hong and ah kee.

anw, on my way home, i took the circle line! latest addition to our mrt system. its pretty spacious at the stations. transfered at bishan mrt, which i havent been to for years! used to take train there very often as bishan is one of the fav hangout during secondary school.. it looked so different now!

yesterday was dinner with mich and cheewei at serangoon gardon hawker centre. after dinner we were looking for a place to chill, and in the end we settles for K! and we realise, after knowing each other for 10 years, this is the first time that we actually K!

time flies, and how easy is it to make friends that actually stays? not easy at all..

mich.

mich, met up with her today.. to get the router and a belated birthday treat from her!

dinner at this noodle place at the basement of the cathay. theres chinese ramen, xiao long bao and some china-ish food. a really heavy meal followed by walking around before settling at swenson to have ice cream for their choclate fondue. had a good hearty chat and it feels like we have not met up for long already.. infact we do! 4 months according to her..

time flies hor!

with friends like her.. i really do hope that we have more chances to meet up.. sometimes i always feel that time is always not enough..

You should mend it, not end it.

Just home from celebrating Mabel's birthday! Had great dinner at sushi tei, and she finally chose what she want for her birthday. though a small gift, its our xin yi!

Sally and boon left after the dinner and the two of us headed to cathay to catch marley and me! We both thought its going to be a comedy, but it turned out to be a really meaningful movie.

How true it is, that a dog doesn't care who you are, if you're rich or poor, if you're tall or short. He's always there for you, as long as you give him you love. No matter what. And no matter how big the mess is, you'll still love him.

Found it a great movie and i am really touched at the later part of the show.. nearing to the end.. The relationship the family shares with the dog, how it has became a part of the family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MABEL!!

情人节不孤单！

happy v day! haha.

met up with mabel and boon on friday the 13th. supper plus some night activity.. we've not done so for so long! i think the last time is the prata trip just before enlistment. this time round, met at bugis first before hitting starbucks for some drink and desserts at liang seah street.

anw, saw that benjamin buttons is finally out! must find one day go see, as usual i will always say but arent sure if it will realise. haha.. cos mabel and boon not very keen on the show leh!

after the dessert it was k at marina square. another sing-till-they-close session, which ended with the 3 of us damn seh and falling asleep on the cab. ha! its always great to be out with the gang, i hope we can all try to make time to meet up more frequently..

back to school.

it feels so much like back to school days, met up with tat, janet, erica over sat AND sun! it has been so long since we met up straight two days, which makes me feels like back to school all the way!

saturday was for janet's 21st! headed to her house after some present hunting in town. jan's family is a lively and fun one! all the relatives are so friendly! we talked to her uncle, cousin, godpa and godma and alot more other members!

next was chilling in town with loads of talks. met up with the trio after the lunch with campmates. camped at burger king (!) before the girls left at ard 6, so me and tat roams around and talked alot. its good to do catching up once in the while.. which is what we have been unable to do since we have all got on to our busier lives..

anw, we have been thinking of a small trip overseas! i am thinking of having it at my birthday week, haha! not a bad choice what. since everything i have planned for the chalet is SCREWED UP cos there is no more chalet available.

Events - outings.

quite eventful these few days! met up with Eugene on Thurs- he's on half day so i went over to raffles city to meet him for lunch and chill. I wanna say thanks bro for spending the whole afternoon with me and listen to my rants of my miserable life. it really helped alot. =D

coincidentally, agnes and gang was also at raffles city for lunch! haha. chatted with them for a while while waiting for eugene.. and so i arranged lunch with agnes the next day! haha.. certainly misses those working days with them.. unlike now where i feel so wasted and my brain cells all wasting away.

yesterday was at sofian's for hari raya! first time joining them as i didnt go for last year's. the food is great and so is the company! love the fried potatoes loads. hohoh. jielun finally turned up after so long. haha. headed to town for some walk walk afterwards with jielun and junwei.

L to R:Junwei, Leon, Han, Chin, Sofian, Jielun, JB, Me.

MC day 18.

i pre-ordered jay's new album yesterday! woohoo-! nearly missed it. luckily jielun reminded me. anw, he's on att c too. eye infection. and also chunlin, who will be on att c till the 12th. oh no!!! everyone get well soon ook!!!

the rp peeps came over last night. havent seen them for like so long.. so its nice to see them again. ha! thanks guys! no pics. i dunno y. maybe we are too used to having no image capturing devices. lol..

MC day 15.

staying home for so long kind of made me lost track of the days passing by. now i cant really remember which day it is of the week that i am on.. have to check hand phone to make sure.. haha.. is that a good sign? '~'

anw, i realised my face is in much better condition. just a 15 days absence from camp- can you imagine how filthy that place is? those pillows that i am sleeping on.. =X

oh yea, rena, dise and jerry came over yesterday. good hearty chat. and makan session at hawker downstairs. its been so long since we all sat down and have a proper chat! haha.. =) from the chat i also got to know that jerry is actually csm at raven coy! haha.. didn't know he's also a regular.. and of cos, the gossips of those people who used to be so around us.. lol..

MC day 10.

my feed reader seems to be fixed. i hope. haha. read the last few posts of blinkymummy and saw that she revealed the face of her partner - mr "good fren"! haha. his debut appearance with full face. some of the readers so cute, commented that good fren finally has eyes! cos she always mosaic his eyes to protect identity. lol..

anw, i went to remove the stitches yesterday. paid $0 woohoo-! serving ns is not that bad afterall. haha. michelle and vic came over and pei me mahjong last night too.. second time coming over since the op and also volunteered to pei me. iam so touched. =D

*****

dickson's first book out over the weekend! after the two weeks confinement.. haha.. makes me thought of my own one just one year ago.. fond memories.. LOL!

*****

mum made some dumplings. yummy!

On this day.

365 days ago, i step into a new unknown phase of my life. met a platoon of people from a thousand different backgrounds and lived with them together for 3 months.

don the green uniform, learnt how to fold smart four from anwar who slept on my right, learnt how to tie my boot lace from alan, and how to forget, my bunk buddy, azhar! whom we have partnered for the trainings too.. =)

the re-re-re sitest, the marches, grenade throwing, all the shits, RT....

I'm a one year soldier!

met up with geoffery yesterday for the peep's (eugene, azhar, setoh, chin, junwei, alan, kianhao) commission parade at safti. the place's damn ulu can. haha. one small regret is that i did not manage to locate my bunk buddy, azhar. didnt manage to take a photo with him in his no. 1. =(

xiangming was there too to support his friend. and i also saw jingyao and angelayuen there. small world it is..

we've all come a long way. one more year to go and we will be heading back to civillian life!

*****

was talking to daren on msn. both of us concluded that its a happy and sad at the same moment thing. half way through already at last. but at the same time we're also nearer to ord. what are we going to do next? the future seem smoky and unclear. he said his results are a sandstorm, i told him mine arent that good either. hai.. one more year to think of what we are going to do!

43.

a happy 43rd Singapore!! love you much much. muacks. haha.

a busy and packed day! met up with mabel for the parade and its followed by boon's birthday and then chia's. too many programmes packed in a evening!! hah. almost couldn't reach in time.

once again, luck is with us as we got great seats again! sat just behind the ministers so the view is great.

the fireworks and black knights are the highlights of the parade, also trying hard to spot cousin at one of the performance! but was not able too. maybe i'll go home and check out the encore telecast at channel 8.

walked to raffles mrt with mabel after the parade and took train down to meet sally before cabbing to boon's party. haven't see sally for quite some time already and she had a new hairstyle!

Luckily, we reached the chalet in time to be the last group for the photo taking. i was quite worried that we might have missed it. haha. friends of 17 years, of course i wouldn't want to disappoint boon laa.. hope he likes the presents and everything.

shortly after that, rushed over to chia's birthday! practically ran over there! sweaty all over, even worse than IPPT! ha! sang bdae song and played like crazy, with help of some cream and coke lime.

some how i think its quite interesting to have this kind of gatherings for us who are serving.. most of the time we see each other only in uniforms la and suddenly when all of us are in civi, i am so not used to it! bleahx.

the night continues with mahjong at my place, with jianji, jamie and raymond. and i won 1 buck!! woohoo0-!

NE Show 2008

met up with mabel for the once a year event- NDP! was kind of worried as it was raining quite heavily when i am booking out of camp in the morning, thinking its going to be shits if the rain continues till evening. but wells, lucks with us as usual and the weather is great by the time we met at 4!

kind of like this location for ndp too.. the skyline matches greatly with the stage and the fireworks.. think its going to be even better a few years later when more building that is being built now is done!


When we were making our way to our green sector seats, suddenly a Malay man stopped us and asked if we were a couple!? We shook our head and answered very quickly No, thinking that he was trying to interview us or to get us to play some games.

Actually he was asking whether only the two of us were watching the parade coz he had 2 yellow sector tix and 2 green sector tix and he would like to swop tix with us. Haha!!! What a misunderstanding! It reminds me of last year, when Mr Ang and Mrs Mo thought that Mabel, Boon, Sally and I were dating couples, haha!.

Anyway, we were very lucky, the yellow sector is right infront of the main stage! We got a very good view of everything from where we were seated.

We also get a great view of the combined choir, finally back after a one year hiatus! Kept feeling something is missing in its hiatus. haha. and the photos montage shown on the screen in one of the segment is great! the color, the angle, thought both of us thought is kinda propagandaish. haha!


This year, the best segment is the aerial display by the Black Knights! The moves they made were graceful and the stunts heart-stopping! So dangerous! Held our breaths real hard at some parts!

And we caught sight of Zoe and her son, Braydon! They must be there to watch her husband's performance, he is one of the pilots. Zoe is very pretty and her son is so cute! Totally not auntish lor. I will continue to support her. Haha!


Erm.. Fireworks is my fav as usual.. i can't explain it. the special meaning that it holds for me, that i will only be the one who knows it. =(


This time one is not that fanciful.. maybe its cos that its the first NE show.. Hope that it'll be better in the weeks to come and the finale will be a great one!! But no doubt, it still made a climax for the evening!

National Day has kind of not as "re nao" as last time liao.. the kind of publicity it has and such.. i remembered when i was younger, the tv and radio will start to air all the songs and videos for national day! this yr, the theme song is not even out and this is the first time i am listening to it. hai..

But still... Looking forward to the more coming weeks of fireworks! Woohoo!

旁观者。

Clift's departure made me realised alot of things.. things in life..

and so, i decided to ask Jx and Hao out for their birthday. din manage to make it to Hao's bdae cos of duty.. so met up with them for dinner and sorts just to catch up.. Qq came too! thanks for joining..

sometimes.. i think what Ka says is true. i can still talk to them.. i can still go out with them.. despite M* organising all the parties and i cant join as she hates me.. i have taken my initiatives and i will continue to do so.. and i hope this time round it will work out..

even thou i am sometimes just a onlooker..

***

its nice meeting up. havent meet Hao since enlistment! erm, ok, i saw him at tekong medical center once. haha! and Qq is more fit liao! our diver. haha.

im glad that everyone is doing well. =)

Mabel.

Happy birthday!!!

had a celebration for mabel's "20th birthday", as suppose she is always one year younger than boon. hehee! had steamboat at seoul garden, havent been there for long! at least a few years. they have since also changed the pan they use for steamboat. food is nt bad but its a fun meal for the four of us gathers together again and talk like endleessly. also had a mini cake cutting for her. k followed by the dinner at a new venue which we forgot the name. the place is nice, nicer then k box! but the song system is quite complicated..sound system also soso nia.. maybe we shd stick back to k! ha.

JJ. Xiu.

JJ rox my sox! his live singing is great! woohoo!

went to his performance with mabel last night at suntec. its actually a annual dinner for a particular MLM co. haa! thou had to wait for like 3 hours before he sings, its totally worth it! he sang like more than 10 songs la.. and the seat is so strategic. thanks to mabel for the invitation!

last week also went for xiu's 21st.




happy 21st dear.

Powerhouse.

i can dance for nuts. haha. cant do it totally. just there to have fun and mainly to meet up with tat and ter.

met up kind of late. but still, braved through the long q, cos Tat got some friends who brought us in without q-ing! haha.. had breakfast at mac's after that too.. alone thou cos they went home le haha.. some how i suddenly miss the times i spent alone again..

totally hearts this kind of outing with the right peeps. helps me to unscrew from all the tension that is slowly killing me..!

Out for fun?

day filled with fun and lots of food! had buffet lunch at japs with cousins, followed by meeting jb for shopping at bugis. looked ard but theres no catch. wanted to get some clothes for cny la.. *opps actually bought some liao still wanna buy haha.* saw a shirt though. but didnt get it. YET! haa. met up with the rest of the gang afterwards for dinner and chill out at short street. beer and soccer. ended the day by prata afterwards, with special thanks to han for sending the peeps home. hohoho.
