Farewell 2008, Welcome 2009

2008 is gonna be over, in like a few hours time.

I felt that this year passed by exceptionally quick. It only felt like a few months ago that Jx and I cycled to Downtown East for the new year countdown!

Feel like reflecting over what I have done or achieved over 2008 before the next year arrives.






Well... Nothing much. -_-

Ok, I'll try again.

1) ME3102 module taught me how to source for materials, and see for myself the steel industry at Pioneer Road.
2) I attended many interviews of all sorts - including one to one, many to one, with Chairman of Keppel o&M, and even over an informal lunch! Learnt SOOOOOO much from all of them eg, how to conduct myself, body language, articulation skills etc.
3) Gave tuition on a weekly basis, learnt how to better plan and manage time. And felt that I was contributing to something, at the same time earn some cash to spend!
4) Helped out at a Tmsco concert, made many friends!
5) Internship at Keppel FELS, learnt and saw and experienced many valuable lessons outside of books. Made alot of friends and contacts along the way.
6) Increased stability of my honours class.
7) Maintained good relationship with family, bee, cousins, and friends from many circles :)

Will be heading to Downtown East for countdown again later tonight with Jx! Anyone who will be in the vicinity and wanna join us, gimme a call!!!

See you guys next year!!!!

Wishing all of us good health, good wealth, and rich happiness!!

Twuai Lite and Prata Plight

At KL I had tried so hard to convince my cousins that I do not like to watch love stories. I succeeded.

But somehow today I lost the battle to Blur Bee. HAI!

Anyways, ya lor I watched twuai lite just now at TM.

Seriously, look at the poster.
























Black background, 2 persons. Simplistic. Unimaginative. How nice can the movie be?!

But in the end ok it was not bad, maybe becos my expectations were VERY low to begin with. Lucky there were fighting scenes to increase the atmosphere abit. It's a very light movie, easily understood, couple of pretty faces...

Oh have I said it's a love story between vampire and a human? I was expecting some fangs and wings and stuff but what they showed was only..... disappointingly/queersome shimmery skin.

WTH????????

After twaui laight, I think I still very much prefer VAN HELSING! One of my best movies.

After midnight Blur Bee's brother brought us to Mr. Prata shop at Tampines 400+ there! Kudos to him for introducing this place, gosh I have never heard of it before! It's 24 hour prata shop guys!!! Especially good to Tampinesians where 24hr prata is hard to find.

I had plaster prata and onion prata. The onion pieces were generous and not overcooked and crunchy and goes superb with the curry. The egg on the plaster was not too well done, very nicely done and smooth.

In my opinion the place serves quite cheap food (plain for 80cents). Very huge variety of food too, from goreng to thosai to rojak to nasi. However the quality of food not very good la, too salty the dough. Curry very normal. But since it's near and cheap, it's a recommendable place to satisfy ur craving.

While at KL, I learnt so much about their prata places. Their supper hang outs are called 'mamak', and they have different names to their prata! Firstly they don't have plaster. But check out the below:



It's named Paper Prata, it's super long it needs to be balanced on three plates! I didn't have the chance to try it but every table seemed to be ordering it.

They also have Condominium Prata. HAHAHA! so interesting how a piece of dough can turn out to be!

I tell you, I freaked out

Take a look at the photos below, taken not too long ago in a restaurant at KL.

They are in order of time taken.

11.17am


11.18am


11.18am


Err. Ok. Take a look at the middle pic. Spot something amiss? Click on it to enlarge.

If u can spot it, good. Tell me why.

When I saw it, I tried to give a logical explanation. Like camera lens dirty, or sth hanging on the wall etc. But it's not sth on the wall, becos the picture before that showed the wall was plain. Then I freaked out a lil.

There were no children or small people in our group of relatives who were present. And I'm very sure nobody walked behind us. *shivers.

my 24th celebrationSSSS =)

I'm feel very blissful and happy for my circle of family and friends. :)

They made my 24th birthday a very special and memorable one. My 24th was by far celebrated the most number of times. Very happy :)

10th Dec, with my relatives and cousins at my gu gu's house! I completely wasn't aware of the surprise, very happy!



Then on 14th Dec, me and my USA clique went for a very very shiok karaoke session at TopOne Ktv at Bugis! Very splendid place with nice atmosphere and good songs and free flow drinks only $20 nett for as much as 7 hours!!! After that we went to my favourite steamboat place, Zhen Fa Live Seafood at Novena. I love that place for its affordability and fantastic variety and quality of food!



15th Dec is my actual 24th bdae! Unfortunately I had to go school to do my FYP! (*Bashes tables and chairs) But I was highly surprised when Jx came into my lab, bluffed me to go out, then from a turn, my ME clique popped out with a beautiful cake and bdae songs. :)



Later on the same day, my 2 bestest buddies came over for a dinner together with my family. My mom specially prepared my fav chicken wings and steamed big prawns and baked a cheese cake too!! I enjoyed the night :)



I HEART all my family and relatives and friends for the efforts, surprises and fun and joy and memories. :) Thanks a million, sincere thanks! :)

Mediacorp filming at NUS

They said we'll be seeing actors and actresses like Tay Ping Hui, Shaun Chen, Alvin Ng, Jessica Liu and Rui En!

I got to school and managed to capture a few pics of Rui En.

She was very thin and tall in real person. Almost as tall as me!















































Chance for stardom. That's the difference between them N'US. :)

Random notes from Ye

On 2 separate occasions, I was working at my home desk when Ye sat beside, doodled on a post-it and passed it to me:
