Holidays fun fun fun!

WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

I'm loving the holidays so much!!!!!!! Feel so carefree... can go out, watch movies, or play games, play mahjong, use the computer, watch tv, watch Heroes and Prisonbreak, AND NOT FEEL GUILTY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely Shiokanaden!!!!

So, hmmm. After I came back from the Shanghai Knights, I have been going out everyday meeting friends from all circles. A few days ago, I met up with a few friends I was fortunate enough to know during my work stint in the USA. 2 of them actually came over from KL!!

Cheng Cheng and Chong Kean, the couple from M'sia. They're a crappy funny bunch of guys. I was appointed the task of organising the day for them. Lol. So I booked a games session at Settlers. Believe it or not, it was also my first time at this! We played quite a number of games which I failed to win at any. Grrrr. Anyways, the student package is very cheap! 2-6pm, only for $10 including a main course and free flow of drinks!!!


Later, I brought them to Geylang for dinner! I felt abit weird leading the way through Singapore's most well known streets. LOL. I introduced them to the famous beef kway teow, oyster omelette and bbq stingray. I'm glad they enjoyed it! =)


We then met up with another friend Apple (whom, so coincidentally, is called Hong Huifang!!) at Hooters. Cheng and Kean came all the way here to eat their Buffalo Wings! But it was disappointing, we all agreed KFC tasted better.

I thot Hooters was a nice place to chill out. Good river view, nice breeze, comfortable and clean. Though it'd have helped if the short orange tight shorts were not donned on people with thunder thighs and bumbersome bums.

It was great meeting them and hanging out with them. Will visit them at KL one day!!!!!!!!

Today, I met up with friends from secondary school. We went to the newly renovated Kallang Leisure Mall. Haven't been there for years, but the interior definitely looked different. It's now very spacious with alot of eateries and entertainment. We tried out the yoghurt at Yogoru, I think it's quite nice!

Had a great few hours together catching up with one another. Hopefully many more to come in the years ahead! =)

By the way, people are all watching Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Heroes... I haven't been following them cos I know if I watched, I'll be so darned addicted to them. Now that it's the holidays, I've finished watching Prison Break Season 1! On DVDs which we bought at RMB5 = SGD1 per disc. Wha piang, every episode is so exhilirating and makes u wanna keep watching la! Hence I wanted to follow up on Season 2 but discovered I left the disc in Shanghai. -_-"

So I started on Heroes!! WAkakaka. On episode 6 now. My favourite character is Hiro Nakamura, he's cute LOL!

Tales of a Shanghai Knight

Pictures to summarise my days at Wuxi, Suzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai. =)

Weather was very nice. Ranging from 0 - 13 degrees Celsius, but we were all nice and comfy in the thick layers of clothings. HAHA! When u puffed air out of your mouth, you'll see fog! That's how shiok it was!

And the food there was nice and cheap cheap cheap! Thanks all who made this trip possible! ^_^

Sem 5 completed!

Haven't been in the mood to blog... hmmm. My last day of exams was on the 5th Dec, which was only a few days ago leh! Sianz. My whole exam period took about a month including revision. Really seemed like eternity. But now I feel so FREE!!! I feel energised!!! I feel liberated!!! I feel... I feel.. I feel like a bird!!!!!!!

*sings along to Natalie Imbruglia's "I'm like a bird"*

Here's a pic I took one day in the male toilet of the Central Library in school during the mugging period.


Toothbrush and Toothpaste!!!!! Need to be so kua zhang or not?!?!

Yesterday (kudos to Irritating Ivan btw for organising), we had a sing-a-long session at Partyworld at Orchard. Together wif Ivan, Frankenstein, Mr Cold Fish, and Ms Yeeeeeee who joined us later, we sang our hearts and throats out and totally enjoyed ourselves!!!! Mr Cold Fish could do his "head voice" pretty well...

*laughter and giggles in the background*

Oh yeah, I was walking hurriedly along Wisma Atria to meet them when I saw this guy. He was dressed in business attire and looked close to 27, and he had this sinister look... he was like chatting up this younger girl who only looked like she was still in lower secondary school. Later, the girl stood up and seemed to walk away offended...

About 30 secs later, the same girl came up to me.

Modelling agency.


HAHAHA. I wasn't quite interested cos have heard alot of stories from my friends. But hey, it's the first time I got approached afterall!!!!! ^_^

Irritating Ivan happened to have worked for this same company before. He commented that it's a very difficult job to do. Besides from being ignored, the pay is also meagre. Basic pay is $4.50/hr, but if you can get 100 names only they increase it up to $6!!

HAHAHA.

Anyways, back to the gathering. At 7pm, Titus and Tartar joined us for dinner. My, Orchard's restaurants were all packed and lines all forming. In the end after wandering for an hour plus, we settled for Borders Bistro.

I ordered Ribeye steak.... not fantastic. My eyes were fixed on the spaghetti the guys ordered. Big serving wif succulent mussels and prawns. :( LOL. We chatted heartedly (and enjoyed making fun of Mr Cold Fish) before making our ways home...

Love this bunch of crappy guys. =)

Oh yeah. Gonna be a Shanghai Knight tomorrow. ^________^ Yeeeeeee-Harrrrrr!!!!!!! Better enjoy the holidays to the max while we all can, dudes!
