Last 2007 Post!

Can you believe it? The year is ending AGAIN! *Gasp
Time flies in a flash!

I chose not to go out this year 'cause I'm really sick of bad crowds.
Anyway...

A list of the new/interesting stuff I've done this year:

*Biggest S310 class gathering this year

*Took a pic for NUS Charity Drive



*Directed my TVC project (very last minute though)



*Indulging in online shopping!

*Ate for the first time at Changi Village

*Ate durians in the night bazaar (had a hard time prying open durians too)



*Became a student interviewer

*Internship in an IMC company



*Someone drew a picture of me



*Showered with great lobangs, thanks to my PA company




one of my favourite events :)

*Japanese tourist wanted to take a pic with me!

*Been to the new club for quite a number of times, due to jobs/just to have fun



*Appeared on Mumtazz, due to job too. (Guess my internship has given me a whole different exposure) + Drinking different types of alcohol concoctions, discovering Bloody Mary isn't really our cup of tea



*Took up an assignment for SPH omy website

*Trying out house calls for pedicure



*Realise Clara does the best pedicure package, comforting footscrubs to the max!



*I wonder why, but I was approached by this guy (uni student he claimed) while I was crossing the road at Orchard area. He was very interested in the textbook I was holding (or it seemed) and kept asking me school related matters (as far as I remember). We talked for a while after we crossed the road and parted. But of all places, would you approach a girl/guy crossing the road about school matters? What a strange encounter.

*Ate steamboat in open area (And I guess I ate steamboat for the most number of times this year - CNY eve/Rainbow's treat/Colleagues' treat/Lisi's treat/Bugis/Jiemin's treat)





*Participated in competition (still on-going)

*Friends I hardly keep in contact with called/sms-ed me for Christmas countdown. 受宠若惊!

*Baked cookies for the first time!



*Went for Nth number of 21st birthday celebrations

*Had four birthday celebrations (details up soon, as you've seen from the Sneak Preview) for myself

*Bouquet of lovely gerberas, thanks to Jiemin :):)



*Finally joined Facebook (after being coerced by Jiemin since Uni Year 1 :p)

*Had a hard time recovering from being an escapist. I should be doing fine.. I hope.

2008 will be a much challenging year for me. Last semester, graduation, jobs.. But other than the paper chase, I'd like to..

*Procrastinate less

*Do more events

*Learn a language

*Learn to cook something, so that I can teach Jiemin (and in turn she'll learn 2 new dishes to teach me!)

A happy 2008 to you! Cheers~

:)

A lot of things to say.

this is likely to be my last post before i go for my exam break. not to worry, i promise a long entry to keep you entertained (if you are entertained by my entries in the first place). so there you go. loads of random ramblings, food and pictures!

at cathay cineleisure - sister brand for billy bombers (and i forgot the name for the sister brand)

procrastinating kills. did another last minute assignment and handed it up to the prof with loads of guilt. but 我不见棺材不掉泪! and thus, i never ever learn my lesson. i really want to start early but i keep putting it off my mind, till the last minute. (on a happy note, another last minute assignment of mine earned praises from my prof eh! hohoho.) if anyone can change this ultra bad habit of mine.. i will love you to bits! let's call it "saving procrastinator tenshio project", aka "mission impossible".

oh yes, so after submitting the guilt-ridden assignment (post edit: did surprisingly well for the assignment as well as the overall coursework. guess the prof is really lenient), i want to have fun! so i asked mingshu out to shop at orchard. i can't really remember the shopping part by now, but i do remember our really full lunch/dinner!


HUGH chicken mushroom burger with BLACK and original nachos.


huge chicken burger + lemonade + soup of the day + ben & jerry's ice-cream (not in picture) = very full

and this is mingshu's mixed grill!



actually i thought the food was passable.. and the staff were kind of "over-friendly" that felt a tad queasy. but at least they are friendly.


surfin' USA

gv11 proj = :D

one of my fave projs 'cause i enjoyed every bit of the process! best thing is, we've got the recognition from the prof! she even recommended us to join competition eh! :) am so proud of our production!



***

oktoberfest!

arh, perhaps that's the only german term i can utter. lol.


german sausages


pork knuckles

poh, mingshu and me had fun snapping pics and laughing at ourselves.

we attempted to do cross-eye shot


correct example


failed example!


the pic i received from poh was abit weird (likely due to error in data transmission), so i did some minor editing in attempt to save the pic. *tellmeyoudontseetheline


as you scroll, you'd expect more random shots from the trio. stop scrolling if you can't stand our random-ness.








i look so laughy! im just amused.


a bad spoof of jay chou's 我不是牛仔

don't you think nokia handphones take better quality pics compared to other handphone brands? my vs6 camera takes really dull pics! sigh.




with dearest amanda! :)

event was tiring, but we had our share of fun :) oh, met the guys again from the previous event! lol. only know to ask me buy coffee bean/starbucks huh.. lol.

i will be hardworking. i will mug. i will be hardworking. i will mug.. (on continuous loop)

woohoo. decided to give myself a lil' break from all the mundane projects/assignments/tutorials/(you know it) :) and since it's already october (arh! which is so freaking fast la.. bah.), i will continue with the rest of the september birthday partyyys.

shihui's (as you've guessed, i forgot the exact date, and i lazy to flip my organiser.)
she's always there to motivate me by saying things will eventually turn out right. thankful to have her around to calm my jitters (fyp.. arrr. nv fail to daunt me like crazy).

and, a good way to celebrate a birthday -- project discussion! ha, we had project discussion at TCC. and i love it there! the ambience, the food, the food decor, the service.. thumbs up! (or perhaps i'm too under-pampered in those regular restaurants -_-)


my yummy sandwich. nicely presented!


the camera queens. actually chua is the queen of the queens. lol.


deep in thoughts, and still snap me! hurmph.

if you are curious what kinda project we are doing.. it's somehow along the line like this:


shoes! :)

and yes, we filmed in smu, if you find the building kinda familiar.



i seldom take pics (of myself) nowadays, but im quite happy with this pic, albeit random. guess im more drawn into candid pics nowadays. hahaha.

oh back to shihui.

we gave her a pierre cardin wallet, a surprise tcc cake and a birthday song (sang in tcc!), shihui is a happy girl!


project mates! :)

*******

ivy(nbs) and ivy(tkgs)

one weekend and i attended 2 ivys' parties!

the first was held in smu fruch. it's a nice chill-out cafe/pub with loads of games! we tried to entertain ourselves by playing board games and card games (and that's when i know what's taboo, or rather, the game is called taboo. haha), but eventually got bored. so took pics again lor!

then it was cut-cake time!


all ii's uni friends

self-entertainment again :)



and another one.



then we got high playing those arcade-sy games. i kept screaming (living up the spirits of a tkgian), which left chua's bf utterly bewildered. oops. i thought its a norm to scream?! eh, if the rest of the tkg peeps were there, fruch's window panes will be gonecase i tell you. hiak hiak.

my tkg ivy's birthday party, as usual, gathered the force of the tkgirls. located at aloha loyang :)


a big tkgian pic, hardly have a pic with such a big group of us recently.

no prize for guessing.. the girls were indulging in their game of bridge again. haha.



slept over at the chalet.. and gave ivy a lil' present.. teehee. ivy likes the casio sheen watch we gave her. feminine yet digital. gave a hard time to poor lisi and mingshu who were busy looking for a good one! xin ku le!! :)

psst.. i discovered alot of ivy's lil secrets! hohoho. the wonders of sleepovers. everything (uh, not exactly everything la. but still.) - exposed! hiak hiak hiak.. :)

yeah! all september birthday peeps, featured!

Singapore Fireworks Festival, 2007

my FYP group mates met at marina foodcourt for proj meeting..

well, we chose marina for an underlying agenda of course - to have the best view of the fireworks display! woohoo. project wasn't on top priority.. oops.

the spot we chose was airy and comfy. i couldn't help but feel like a tourist by doing this:


familiar buildings look just different through the lens.

marina bay has beautiful blue waters!

another sidetrack.. took a pic of clarke quay (or is this boat quay? arh, whatever.) by night..


scenic. scenic. scenic.

anyway..

i decided to take a pic every now and then. we were bored while waiting anyway.

from this,


to this,


and the crowd grew bigger - in the foodcourt as well as people walking towards marina bay.


night's coming real soon.. can't wait!


arh, the anticipated moment coming real soon..


by this time, marina foodcourt is jam-packed with people.

and it stretches on.. thank goodness we have a table to ourselves. save us the fate of being squashed and poked.

oh yes, start liao start liao!

....

huh? start already or not?! we aren't sure.. all we see were speckles of colourful lights..



-_-'' alright, it's Go Fly Kite!

finally.. the real show began.



my handphone was not exactly doing justice to this real spectacular show.. it's awesome! you see hearts, planets, and loads more! every second is a surprise!





few pics, most of the time i was busy capturing vids. and this is the climax of the entire show.. the crowd got high too! woohoo.



for more videos, you can visit the other links.. ha, my vids are short and in bits and pieces.. others did a better job with digicam i suppose. if you want me to upload the other snippets, do tell me. (:

why did my prideful heart tinge again?
