ok...did quite a lot this xmas...but mostly is just walking around doing some window shopping...most exciting day will be on xmas itself ba...but i aint going to touch on that...i think that...pengsoon's blog had quite a detailed description...go visit his ba...haha... gonna touch on something more boring...but i think it's kinda essential for me ba...
been out the whole afternoon and evening...was celebrating liwen's birthday...din know something happened at home during that time until i overheard a phone conversation between my mom and my godma...it wasnt really a pleasant sight...been quite a while since i've seen my mom so angry...but from the conversation...got some idea as to what happened... it concerns my brother and my mom....kinda sad...my bro just got his first bookout this weekend...i dont think he returned to the camp happily judging from what happened...
well...after that phonecall...my mom chased me out of her room...kinda scary.. An angry mom isnt good to trifled with...i think most of us have experienced such situations ba...so i went to ask my godsis what happened when i was away... apparently it was regarding my bro ordering Times Magazine...well...he said it's for me...well...i myself dont really know what the contents is about...guess it's somewhat like Newsweek...not that sure either...anyway...my mom got angry...cos last time when my brother ordered Newsweek.. well...we din really read it...sometimes we din even bother to remove the plastic bag and just left it one side...well...this kinda angered my mom...it's not that cheap to buy that magazine and we are spending our parents' hard-earned money... scolded us several times for not making full use of the magazines...well...i think it's really our fault ba...felt kinda bad...
this time...she got kinda mad...for fear that the same thing will happen to the Times magazines...it costs 2 bucks for each issue according to my bro and it's sent every week btw... anyway... my godsis was around and she said that 2 bucks was still ok what...not that ex...but my mom thought otherwise i suppose...so they both were reasoning...my bro was around la...according to my godsis... my mom din really scold my bro directly...but hearing the reasoning between my godsis and mom...i think it's bad enough...my mom was saying,' If you dont read, dont buy. It is not that easy to earn money!2 bucks is enough to fill a stomach you know?'(somewhat i think that was what she said ba) well...me and my brother have never worked before...kinda sad har...anyway...my mom is working very hard to earn money...holding 2 jobs currently...and she isnt getting good sleep everyday...well...i couldnt blame her for saying those words...i mean...she is right and i dont think i can rebuke her in any way...sigh...now i feel so guilty these past few days...kinda spent quite a lot...i'm kinda relieved she din take it out on me...but still very guilty...=(... her birthday is kinda near...19 jan...now must start saving le...gotta get her a good present...at least make her happy for once...she's under too much stress lately i think...so anyone got good ideas to share on how to celebrate? think i'm kinda desperate now... =(

hmm...havent blog for quite a while...got nothing to blog about...stayed home most of time...either watching anime or playing com game...what do you expect me to say? oh well...guess this is the life during hols..
anyway...today was better...kangsheng decided to organise an outing for the higher chinese students...so at least i got to go out...hehe... but the response...only half the class turned up...oh well.. what can we do?
we were supposed to meet at marina bay mrt station at 5...it's 5 kangsheng...your message stated 5...so you were late by 25 mins! oh ya...it's my first time at marina bay mrt station...kinda eerie...perhaps it's the emptiness...dunno...ben chow shared with us an experience..when he got out of the train...some people got out and got back into the train after getting out...strange har...
anyway...when we got out of the station...we were stopped...literally...by a promoter...not really a salesperson in my point of view....anyway...she was blabbering about the offers that 'Pin Xian' steamboat restaurant has to offer and was saying that there is a van to send you there...it's her job to promote...so we were kind people...stood there a while to listen to what she has to say...well...not that we could run away from her...she got quite a good offer...was saying that we had quite a number of people...so she said she would give us 2 bottles of champagne...i thought it was quite a good deal...since it would be quite a good experience with champagne...but when we told her we would consider and she walked away for a moment...ben said, ' she gave that offer even to 2 people'....ok...moral of story: 'Don't trust promoters or salesperson's words'
we moved on to the bus stop...and out came another promoter from the same restaurant...man they are desperate...it was a male promoter...much forceful...immediately went into asking, 'How many people in your group?' er...hello? we din say we want to go your restaurant and it's kinda rude to just cut in like that...but seeing them still standing outside the mrt station at about 8 plus...felt kinda sorry for them...tough job to hold i would say...
anyway...we went to 'Zhen Fa' Live Seafood Steamboat Restaurant in the end... long name har?...anywa.. we got 12 people in our group...so we were allocated 2 tables....kinda got split into 2 groups...one is the 4S girls and the rest in the other group...well...we aint that close with them...so kinda hard to mingle with them...but in this way.. everyone is happy..i guess... cant ask for more...
so we got our stuff and started cooking... the aluminium foil got charred very fast...dunno why...maybe because we left it without cooking anything for a few minutes...was thinking of changing...but guess it was laziness ba... so out come ingenious ways of cooking without getting the charred substance on our food...
i think it was liwen ba...not very sure who...suggested to use vege leaf(i cant remember the name of the vege) to cover over the charred aluminium and then cook our food on it...we started off with the frying of egg...din want the black thing to be on our egg...so gonna think of some way to prevent it...was kinda successful i guess...i din taste the egg...but from what they say...kinda got the flavour of the vege in the egg... 'Eh, like that eat healthy leh' was what liwen commented..oh well...what can we say?
anyway...from our first successful attempt...we started using it for cooking pork...actually there was another idea to cook...that was to use egg shells to act as the separater to prevent the food from being in direct contact with the aluminium...but wasnt that successful...so we kinda stuck with the vege method...
we ate for about 2 hours plus i guess...then everyone was full le...got quite a lot of leftovers i think...oops..guess we took too much...and suddenly ben asked me, ' Eh, this is a seafood restaurant right? What seafood did we eat?' we ate nothing that is of seafood kind...sadly the case...we were given 4 boxes of prawns...but we din claimed them...oh ya..in case you din know...those prawns are alive, jumping...you practically throw the alive prawns into hot water, instantaneously killing and cooking them...you imagine the scene ba...kinda cruel for me...we spared ourselves from such scene ba...doing a good deed leh...those prawns get to live longer...i suppose..
anyway...back to the leftovers...got quite a lot..i got kinda worried...cos i saw a notice stating,' For every 100g of uneaten food, there is an extra charge of $5' ok...not good...so we snuck away...pretty easy...nobody noticed...cos it was a full house at that point of time...lucky us...wahaha...
after that...we kinda left le ba...so i think that's all for today...long post har? oh well... ciao~
waiting for you to come back @ 11:55 PM
today started off great...the weather was fine...sunny...no rain clouds...unlike last week...so i thought finally it would be a great day to have fun...met up meiying, liwen, john, adam and crystal at white sands mac...some of them were having breakfast...so we kinda sticked around in the mac...chatting and stuff...then we talked about the posting for the pae that will be out today( sorry, sidetracked a bit...will get to the main point soon)...so since we were out...no way we could access to the com and the internet...so we got a friend to help...wahaha...thanks a lot man, azri! always there to lend a helping hand...so we all got our posting results from our dear friend...hehe...er...if you want to know the posting of them...ask them yourself...dont think they want me to publicize over here...so ya...
anyway...let's get to the main point...i am so so so so so fed-up with the taxis in singapore...for god's sake..for the first time in my life...we cant get a taxi after 1 hour plus of moving around...desperately looking out for empty taxis...oh i forgot...why we need a taxi...ya..erm...christopher went to pasic ris park and found out that there were no foller blading rental there...ok...i admit it's my fault...din check properly...and ended up asking my 'family' to make a wasted trip to pasir ris...then ended up we need to get to east coast to blade...so so sorry...gomenasai( hope correct spelling..correct me if i'm wrong... XD)
ok...i'm sidetracking again...ya...the taxis...irritating...the taxis were:
i'm blabbering...i apologize...but got quite frustrated with them....i remembered vaguely that there was some complaints by taxi drivers on tv long time ago saying that now there are more taxis in competition...very hard to get business now...then please....explain such a phenomenon to me...i'm baffled....there is a saying that goes,'Beggers cannot be choosers'...well...personally i think that taxi drivers cannot be choosers either...i'm not insulting them as beggers or whatsoever...but i mean..there are soo many taxi companies now...and you still choose your passengers...how are you going to survive man?
Argh...aint going to spend anymore time to complain...waste my breath and time only...anyway...let's get back to what we did for the day....wasted too much time in getting to east coast...so only started blading at about 1...this time...john's the first timer...wahah...but he's kinda good...for a first timer...din fall much and din get much injuries either...well...kinda expected considering he's supposed to be the smartest boy in class...sigh...thought he would be caught off guard for once...oh well...what else can we do...
at about 2 plus 3...chris joined us at east coast...after getting his appeal form from mj..then john changed out of skates to bike....truthfully...his biking skills are lousy...but his excuse was saying that his skills was rusty le...last time cycling was in sec 1...but seriously i thought cycling cant get rusty one? hmm...who knows...sigh...thought could have gotten unscathed for the first time...but sadly...lost my concentration at the very last hour...got too tired....ended up fell down twice consecutively...now got a injury at my knee... :'(...oh well...meiying fell down too...her injury was worse i think...guess all of us do fall down at some times in life...the most important thing is to recover from the fall and stand back up stronger than ever...(sorry..i got philosophic...but dun really know how to end off..so ya)...anyway...we headed back home after blading lor...it was getting late...sigh...that ends off our fun day...and now i'm broke...sigh...
waiting for you to come back @ 8:32 PM
yesterday went roller blading with adam, meiying and liwen..started off with the day having stupid rain...heavy somemore...because of the rain....crystal's mom asked her not to go...so ended up with the four of us having fun...
stayed at siglap centre mac for about half an hour...with meiying and adam having breakfast and talking about what to do now with the rain pouring outside...then we thought of going to marina to play pool...so we headed to the opposite side in hope to take bus 14...then came pengsoon's message asking if we were at the bus stop...i finally came to realisation as to his father's paint shop was nearby...so we headed to his father's shop where he was working...he seemed bored...so we crapped around...hai...cant get him to have fun with us...since he's working...feel sorry for him... =(
anyway....after crapping...we went to 7-11...shopped a bit...and came out, realising that the rain kinda stopped...so might as well...we resumed our previous plan and headed to east coast...got a good deal for blading...3 hours for 6 bucks...
it was better than the first time i bladed...first time i ended up with an injury in less than an hour...this time....not that bad la...though still a bit unstable and slow....but made some good progress as compared to last time...cannot blame right...second time only leh...what's more...i'm kinda tall...c.g. higher right...easier to fall...do your phy!
still had some falls la...but none of them were 'fatal'...as for liwen...this is her first time blading...she did much better than my first time...she had some falls...but was quite stable overall...according to adam...i dunno how to see such things...but she changed to bike after first hour...became the 'traffic police'for the three of us to inform us of incoming traffic...haha...
anyway...after liwen changed to bike...i became the only amateur....was so slow and unstable as compared to adam and meiying...apparently they had much more experience than i do...humph! luckily still got liwen to accompany behind...thanks wor!~ wahaha..
after blading...we went to mac to have lunch and after that....we took a taxi and headed down to marina to play pool....adam wasnt having much luck...though he was supposed to be the most skilled among us...but he kept losing his games...the balls simply hated him....cant seem to go in...haha...anyway...it was getting late when we finished playing...so we headed back home...
I'm so gonna master roller blading at the end of hols! so anyone free next week for blading....wahahahah...
waiting for you to come back @ 3:59 PM

waiting for you to come back @ 12:04 PM
Should I, or should I not? That has been the question for the past few days.. I thought i already decided...but now....i think i'm having doubts now...i'm so confused...argh...
Maybe i'm just thinking too much...or maybe i shouldnt be even thinking of such things....maybe i'm just bored...or maybe i had too much time to spare...but now...i think i'm running out of time...if i don't decide soon...there wont be a second chance...
sian....think i'm crapping....oh well...ciao~
waiting for you to come back @ 3:27 PM
Finally my blog has been created...ok...so this is the first post...Hmm...what should i write...
Alright...erm...the class chalet...right... it started from tue afternoon till fri morning... the chalet was somewhere at changi village there....was a 2-storey chalet with:
Some of us reached there at about 4 and we started unpacking our stuff...Adam brought his ps2 and soccer ball...Fahmi brought some dvds... We din do much on the first day...just finding our own entertainment...some of the girls decided to cook dinner for the group...jaz came around with a little pasta and soy sauce asking people to taste it...i dont think i need to tell you how it tasted like... i missed the preparing of the sauce for the pasta as i went out to tampines with meiying, chris and adam to get some supplies.
When we came back...dinner was prepared...we ate the pasta with the sauce and some scrambled eggs...it was ok la...at least it was edible...so i din really care that much...
I dunno what came over me...but that day i decided to stay up with liwen to wait for sunrise...so we went to the balcony and sat there to chat..chatted for about 2 to 3 hours...it was reaching about 3 plus by then...we got kinda hungry and came down to the living room to cook some cup noodles...after the noodles...we went back up to the balcony and found karl sitting there....he said he couldnt sleep..the three of us sat there..listening to the music from karl's phone...but i was getting tired...so at about 4.30am...i went back to the room to sleep..half an hour later...liwen came in too...leaving karl sitting at the balcony...ya...he succeeded in staying up..but sadly the case....there was no sunrise to be watched...sorry karl...we din know...=(
i din catch much sleep that night...woke up at about 7...the room was so freaking cold...some of the boys stayed until 7 in the morning and then went to sleep...they are the pros...haha..anyway... adam woke up too...he din get much sleep either...with me and liwen walking in and out and some of the boys coming to check on them...haha...meiying also woke up...so the three of us sat in the living room to play the ps2...we played some fighting game la...couldnt get the name right...but better not post it...we played until 10 plus 11...when the pros like keith, ryan and james woke up from their sleep...
me, adam, liwen and meiying...we went to tamp in the afternoon to have our lunch and pick some people up to go to the chalet...then we went back to the chalet...was mingling around and finding our own entertainment...oh ya...i finally learned how to play bridge...haha...hmm...what else did we do on wed? ..... oh well...not thinking straight now...let's move on
On thurs...woke up in the morning...some of us started preparing water bombs to be played in the afternoon...man...it was hard work....tying those water bombs...some of us hurt our fingers...
Anyway, crystal and yvonne arrived at the chalet at about 12...we talked a little and i headed for tamp to meet with my cousins and brother to celebrate my cousin, xinyi and my brother's birthday....had lunch at fish & co...and then met pengsoon at the tamp interchange and headed back for chalet...
At about 4 plus...we headed down to the beach to play water bombs...it finished kinda fast...faster than we thought it would...so we started playing at the beach instead...we walked barefooted to the other end of the beach...some of them went back earlier...then me, adam, pengsoon, crystal and yvonne were playing at the beach...we started skipping stones, kicking water...then adam and i went to challenge each other to sit at the beach to withstand the waves that were coming our way...it was quite fun...until when there were 2 boats that came together in opposite directions....2 simultaneous waves hit us...leaving us totally drenched...anyway....we headed back to the chalet after that... it was already 5 plus then...the bbq started...me and adam took a quick bath and went down to help out...
We invited some teachers to come down...Mr Chooi came down...helping us with the cooking and even helped us buy a bag of charcoal...thanks a lot cher...though i dont think he will be reading this blog...but who cares...haha...then ms neo came down...with her dog Chubby...it is so cute...pity i forgot to take a picture of it...sian...oh well...then later ms lela dropped by...we were excited to see her...i mean she and mr oh(scandal) went to brunei for some exchange program and missed our grad night...so it had been quite some time since we saw her...we were watching the movie 'The Exocism of Emily Rose'...i think most of us enjoyed the movie...anyway...mr oh only came in at about 11...that guy...don't say him le...everytime so busy one....then neglect us.. so horrible...haha...wanted to keep him at the chalet as a punishment...but he said that he got work and meeting tomorrow...with ms lela backing him up...so no choice but to let him...sian..haha..oh well...think that's about it... so much for a first post...haha...
