Bumboat Ride! - 21st Feb

Bumboat ride was pretty ‘cool’!

Hahaha, just because we got it fer FREE. WHEE!
But not before we spent almost an hour queuing fer it!

Singaporeanss. Heyyy.. NO!
This shall be my FIRST and my LAST time.

The experience I’d say was ridiculously time-wasting.


Reasons fer why I decided to take up the STB Promotion Ride:
No. 1 - Start of mid-sem break.
No. 2 - Wanted to sit the Flyer fer free. (Note: I’d only pay to sit the flyer after the IR is up)

So how did we end up with the bumboat ride?
KIASU Ssssingaporeans!

Sheesh. Even before the Flyer started to operate fer the day, people had already been queuing up overnight.
The queue at the Flyer’s station was horrendous.

Overnight fer a flyer?
Ok, at least this was more acceptable than queuing up fer Hello Kitties. (comparing monetary value)
Still, this was totally absurd.


That’s how we landed up with the next free attraction since we're already up and about!



Sia la. Look at the queue. (fergot to take a photo of the Flyer’s queue!)
We’re the first batch to take the ride, so it wasn’t that bad.

Amanda and Alvin complained that we’re being so loserish.
Heck. I say the woman with a GUCCI bag in front of us was the ultimate loser.
Perhaps, that’s a fake too?! LOSER.



We were lucky to be able to snap a picture of the Merlion just before it got struck by lightning!
(This reminded me of being able to take photos of Dondaemun, S.Korea before it got burned down)



Lunch was at The Central, a Ramen place.
Alvin’s and Amanda’s friends raved about the ramen here.
VFM? I don’t think so. Ajisen’s more VFM and even nicer.


O yes, and we caught a Jap movie, K-20, with Regina later in the afternoon!


At least, it was an activity packed day.
Thank you Lord fer making everything come around fer good! =)

Class Gatherings

JC Class gathering held at Ms Lam's place on the 30th of Dec 2008!

Around 20 came, but I hadn't receive any photos from the rest of the girls!

Beginner's Luck, won 4 rounds. haha





And the long awaited Secondary school class gathering!

Half of our class girls made it fer dinner at Waraku's on the 15th of Feb 2009 at ECP.



And this is the seating arrangement of our class at Katong Convent Secondary.. 7 years ago!

Regina's 23rd - 7th Feb

Yeap!

The girl's grown a year older now!

Her 23rd birthday was held 2 weeks after her actual at Sushi Tei and we had a lo hei!


Bet this was the smallest group all of us had lo-hei-ed with.
And also speaking? whispering? blessings over us in English while lo-hei-ing.

Miss Candice felt so surpressed till she suddenly shouted HUAT AR!
LOL!

Embarrassing!

Embarrassing!

Freaking embarrassing!


I was on at the porch minding my stuff when I let out a shriek that tore through the night!!

My neighbour who had been skipping at his porch (at 11.40pm) immediately looked over the wall to see what the commotion was.
‘Are you ok?!’

Still staring at IT, I looked up to where the voice was.
It’s been 5 years of since I moved here; I hadn’t met my neighbour in the eyes before.
What an awkward situation (fer me)!!

I stared at him and all I could say was, ‘O, Cockroach!’ before looking down again, terrified at the possibility IT might scurry across my feet.

‘O’, and he went back to skipping as if nothing happened.


After realizing what I said, I felt like burying my head six feet under!
Simply BIMBOTIC and RUDE!!! (Didn’t even thanked him fer his concern!)
Worse, I was dressed to the nines, (just got back from Vday’s dinner) so unglam! What would he have thought of me!


I was actually planning to feed my hamsters before I saw the gigantic stinking roach, so I ran in and shouted ‘Ah Konggggggg, wu ka zhua!’. (there’s a cockroach!)

‘Cockroach also scared!’ (Conversed in hokkien)

‘Yes, but I AM scared!’ and made sure the conversation dragged on and on while I scanned through every nook and cranny (jumping back each time I pushed something aside just in case the stinking roach was there) and finally said, 'ok, bo liao!!' (no more).

‘wa ka lu gong bo liao lu bo xiong xin.’ *yawned* (I told you it isn’t there anymore, you don’t believe.)

'Ok, lu ay sai ki kun liao.’ (you can go and sleep already.) Hahaha.


At the background, I could still hear the thumping of my neighbour’s skipping. -.-

Bleah. I bet he overheared our conversation and was rolling his eyes as he skipped.

May they over-roll till he can’t recognize me if we ever meet again!


Hur hur hur hur hur.. HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Alvin's 24th - 3rd Jan

Alvin’s 24th Birthday.

It’s more like my birthday again!
Had a difficult time choosing where to do dinner.

Chawanmushi topped with SALMON ROE! My allll time favourite.
Hahaha


And a chocolate cake to round up the day!

Christmas Dinner - 28th Dec

Christmas dinner once again!


Fin (by Blue Lobster) Seafood Cafe @ Marina Square, don't ever ever go there!
SERVICE'S Fking Fking !@#$%^&*!!!

The waitress knocked over a glass of water onto Candice and walked off without apologising!
Fking Atrocious!! I thought she was going to get a towel!
I was so mad, I called fer a waiter to clear the mess and told him it was their staff who created the mess. All he did was to put the glass aside and called her over to clear up.
Why couldn't he help with the clearing too?
The f.up bitch came back with a glum kiam pa face.


The rest were cool about it. Madness..
How not to be angry at such 'service'?

Felt so indignant cause the very least the bitch owed my friend was an apology.
Wanted to not pay the 10% GST, which I felt they don't deserve to even smell it but the rest say it's OK(do you think it's OK?? Seriously, I don' understand them.), don't kick up a ruckus.
Fine, but if I were with some others especially my mum.. whoooooo..I can't imagine the scene ahead.
And sad to say, I can't demand the cancellation at the end of dinner cause I kept laughing at jokes and simply couldn't put on a straight face anymore. Sobs


By the way, iced water was served in OILY plastic cups which tasted odd too.
Plus the food were oily nongsense.
(Based on online reviews, people were swearing off to go back there again)


Thankfully, the evening still mananged to end off well with a nice cuppa and exchange of presents at Coffee Club!

Sea Monkey Christmas

This was what I've got Alvin fer Christmas cause he simply have no luck with keep fishes in his house.

So Thank God these brine shrimps are thriving well with many more babies appearing this week!
His success rate with these lil creatures surpassed mine when I reared them 7 years back.


At present, there's even a female sporting an egg sac!
I named her Sally and Alvin named her partner, Gary.


Stumbled upon this hilarious nongsensical Q&A about Seamonkeys..
A lil' lengthy, but it's worth the read!



Q: My sea monkey is becoming quite aggresive in nature and I am afraid for my safety. I have made the difficult decision to geld him. His world is about to change drastically. He is very sexually active. I would really appreciate your advise on how to handle the after surgery care and character changes that I am expecting. Will he become more docile? He is now 15 years old and I am afraid he is too mature to handle the change gracefully. What advise can you give me.?


A: I understand that you want to calm your Sea Monkey down but have you actually done anything to make him feel calmer. For one, you could name him. Perhaps his frustration is coming from being dehumanized - or debrineshrimpized as the case may be - and naming him could help him find his identity.
Secondly, he is an adolescent and we know what teens can be like. He is attempting to stretch the boundaries of acceptable societal behaviour and, perhaps, he has received the message that being violent will scare and repel others. This could be his form of rebellion. Unfortunately, he has chosen to couple his aggression with inappropriate sexual behaviour. This is a difficult problem but could be solved with going as far as physical castration. Before you attempt to neuter him try the following:

1. Give him a name and, thus, an identity. Help him explore his identity through conversation and discussions about his place on this wonderful earth!

2. Provide him with information on appropriate behaviour in society and warn him of the impact of his behaviour on others and on his future. Who will hire a Sea Monkey with a record for assault? I know that I wouldn't.

3. Offer him some Depo-Provera® which has been used to calm down sexually aggressive individuals.If none of this works, then you could try to neuter him but be prepared for some serious ramifications! He could be angry with you because he will lose his dreams of being a father and he might be very aggressive. If you do choose to neuter him and he continues to threaten your safety you might wish to flush him. I hate making this suggestion but he could just be a pathological little Sea Monkey and you would be best to keep away from him. I hope that this all helps in some small way...

Happy New Year!

On the eve of Christmas, my ol' NUSSU Bizcom mates gathered together to spread some festive cheer to the lil' ones at a Children's Home!

Fel organised it and we have to say, though there were some minor hiccups from the magicians, the party went well!

There was a wide spread of pizza, 15 to be exact, 60 drumlets and so on sponsored by the rest of Fel's colleagues.. The rest of us contributed a gift to each of the 60 kids there.


Really love tis' time of the season!

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
