SCOOP - Gan Bee Teng Bids Goodbye to Singles' Club, Reporter Tenshio Finds Out More



Oct 11 - It's official. Bee Teng, more affectionately known as GanBee, has just announced publicly that she has left the singles' club to join the couples' club, making the couples' club stronger in strength and the poor singles' club dwindling in number.




You can, at the same time, notice how GanBee's hairstyle changes.

Shu Juan, member of the singles' club, describes how GanBee broke the news to her earlier the day.


yeah, i was having a bad cold. and that explains my ghastly face.

Shu Juan has just woke up from her beauty sleep at 11.30a.m. and received a short message from GanBee.

GanBee: "Eh... I'm attached le. With you know who..."

Almost instantaneously (not instantaneous because Shu Juan tried to scroll down the message to confirm if it's one of her cold jokes or is it real), Shu Juan replied. (Which is a miracle as she SELDOMS reply on time) She had a rough idea who was she referring to, but wanted to confirm it.

Shu Juan: "Eh who? :)"

GB: "The one you seen studying with me long long time ago. Singing club vice chair."

(Jiemin, you should know who is she referring to :) )

Shu Juan laughs! She knew it! She never went wrong with her predictions (excluding exam questions though). Shu Juan & Jiemin caught her mugging with a guy at SingPost Mac. We didn't impose them of course, looks like we've done a good course! :)

On a side note, Shu Juan thinks that she makes a good cut-out to be a FORTUNE TELLER! She predicted Eileen Poh & Jun Kee to be together, and they DID! Woohoo. This time round too. (But of course, all these are anecdotal, but still...)


GanBee does not have to hug the wall le. I do. =(

SJ: "Haha! Yeah! Congrats my dear :) Must bring along to future gatherings okie? Started when? :)"

GB: "Last week. I confess. He is dumb! Haha."

Eileen Poh, member of the couples' club, adds, "They like each other for a long time! But didn't have the courage to confess until now!"



Eileen is also the first person to know about the news. She felt "touched" when GanBee told her that their relationship was approved by a pastor. EDIT: because "有情人终成眷属". (To prevent liability with Ms Poh :) Not easy to be comms student isn't it? The thin line between sensationalising and truth. Ok, that's beside the point ;))

Both Eileen and Shu Juan, although in different clubs, all felt how sacred their love went beyond. They are feeling really overjoyed about the news!



Reporter Tenshio wishes GanBee all the best in her newly found bliss and love :)

i love the lyrics. i love how everything strings in together so beautifully.

so well that some parts of the song felt so close to heart.

and a*mei sang it so wonderfully well (with jay chou's music).
she is a maestro for singing. undoubtedly.

im totally immersed in the song.

a bit about everything! :)

feeling kinda random, so i shall.. be random tonight.

lovely food decor by tcc <3



every detail is a surprise! love it. this is tcc's tiramisu, ordered by rainbow. it looks so good that i can't help but to take a pic! lovely. those tiramisu i tasted didnt look as gastronomical.

secret balcony - discovered in campus!

was helping ling to do some recording.. and wow, like the first time in my 2-point-going-5 years in ntu, i found this cool tutorial room! woots.

firstly, it has 落地窗户 (argh! i can't find the english word for this! irritated.. it slipped my mind! anyone be kind and remind me.. hate my english) - for sunlight to seep in.



next, as you draw the curtain, you see a door..



and tada.. push/slide (i can't remember) the door and voila! a secret balcony before your eyes. so cool right! (ok, apparently ling didnt share my excitement.. she expected everyone to know about this already. hurhur.)



but still interesting what. :)

temp-ing at a fair..

day 1

kinda lost at first since i didnt know anyone there yet. but thankfully the ice-breaking was a quickie. nothing much to do since it was a weekday.. but got a lil' "adventure".

a group of japanese tourists came to the fair and appeared very enthusiatic and excited. they purchased our items and were enjoying the fair quite a bit. later one of them approached us (another temp girl & myself) with a camera.

i was still thinking that he was asking one of us to help him take a group shot with his friends. and guess what, he wanted to take pic with us lor! arrr.. just obliged lor. haha. i guess this is the first time i met such situations though. kinda, interesting :)

day 2

aww, the other temp girl's last day was yesterday.. so i'm alone today! was still pretty ok.. and hurhur, the guys know me better liao and start bully me! tsk tsk. one of them so teh lor. arrrr. act cute la. but still a nice bunch of slackers :)

darling mingshu and lisi came and look for me after their CRAZY spree at The Body Shop warehouse sale. i can't help but to emphasize on the word CRAZY. just look at their loot -


lisi's damage - $50++


mingshu's damage - $80++!!

back of my mind i was thinking.. isn't it suppose to be a sale? why are they spending so much? lol. girls just go ga-ga over "5 for $5", "$49.90 NOW: $19.90" kinda thing. perhaps if i were there, i'd have gone crazy too.. not sure. :)

psst. thank you lisi's bf for the lift home! :D

day 3

oh yeah, got poh to accompany me to work :) so long nv meet up with her lor.. nicey girls' talk! love her la. was really busy, could have gone out-of-hand when the guys are nuah-ing.. haha. love you hunney! felt so much safer with you around. hahaha!

had a real yummy dinner sponsored by another booth. yummm (but really very very full at the end, they gave us too much food!).

oh yes, chua came and look for me too! sho sweet~ but i was busy at that point of time, so didnt really have time to talk to her. but still.. appreciate loads!

arh, my legs almost gave way too! tired feet. but i felt accomplished for day 3. happppy.

***

arh, it's a long entry i know. that's all for now!

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!

Chronicles of a Balloon

the last time i held on a balloon was like.. a few years ago? when i thought balloons were almighty and all. hurhur.. balloons were more easily available then, but now.. shops selling such party stuff are dwindling (the century square outlet is gone, as far as i remember) and it may be a feat to get helium-pumped balloons during roadshows and the likes. after all, who will give you one, when you are not a kid anymore?

one day, shihui gave me a lime-green balloon from her club event. she was actually thinking of letting go of the balloon on the way to another building, until she saw me.

ooh, i have a balloon! woohoo. and i attended lecture with it while the rest of the girls tried to shove me to the side so that the balloon is less attention-grabbing! :)

i brought the balloon up into the train, attracting bizarre looks from other passengers.



rainbow even threatened to poke the balloon!



shihui saw how fascinated i was with a balloon and suggested my future boyfriend to get me a bunch of balloons instead of roses. why can't i have both? =D

after escaping from the train unscathed, balloon went up the bus :)


this time round i sat at the last seat so that it's not so AA when i took a pic secretly.

going home together..


and finally,



home :) tadaa, balloon survived!

it was left drifting on my ceiling for a night, and lying around my room days after. got bored with it. hoho.

woah. sorry guys, haven't got the time to settle down and blog.. so this is for you, if you have been randomly checking for updates from here (if there are people doing this in the first place).

ok, this is an official thank-you note to all who were really worried about me falling (really) sick.. i (think) am fine now.. less floaty and all. really really appreciate all your concern. especially my proj mates.. thankewwww for being so understanding and allow me to take a short rest in the midst of the "battles". haha.

thanks to poh, who even volunteered to help me take pictures for an assignment so that i can rest at home. appreciate that thought, but i rejected her kind offer.. it's just not fair to use sickness as an excuse for so many favours.

sorry to many people too, for me unable to find time (or just too sick) to meet up/attend birthdays/movies and such.. really really sorry. orz

***

now time for some really backdated stuff..

the AUGUST-till-early-SEPTEMBER birthday boys & girls. alot lor. reallllly alot of people. i almost went broke chipping in for everyone's presents. arrhhhh..

i don't know if i'm able to name all, sorry if i missed yours.. as i've reiterated umpteen times - my brain just can't remember birthdays! i need constant reminders from conscientious people about upcoming birthdays.

anyway.

aug 13 - sis

aug 15 - poh
(? um, am i right?) supposedly a kbox session with her, but i didn't go in the end. i've forsaken her for last-minute-making-money opportunity.

i was here:


the arena!

sorry arh poh.. =(

aug 18 - bunny
i thought i couldn't make it for her bday bash (was sitting for hours at the hair salon!).. anyway, i rushed from far east plaza to parkway.. and yeah, in time for dinner and cut-cake sing-along session! was amused - ivy kena assaulted by kids lor. the kids didn't really welcome the tk girls that night, we thought. heck.

aug 26 - lisi
ok! got more pics here le. the tkgirls were invited over to her house for a steamboat (cum yummy bbq-like chicken wings) feast!

perhaps the setting was really more "at home" (since we've visited her house for CNY for years, hence the familiarity), the tkgirls really "demure & resolute" no more. lol.. just imagine a round table of about 8 people.. screaming/shouting/loud gossiping across the table.. even lisi's boyfriend cannot tahan our presence (and flee into the room for computer games).. hahahaa! easier for more gossips now :)

after a much tiring get-together session.. we decided it was cut-cake time! woots.

preparations for the "event":


lisi was jealous of her strawberry cake, cuz everyone was busy snapping the cake, not the birthday girl. heh.


ok ok.. your turn.


ready for a pic, any time. =)


sing along session! lisi is concentrating on her 3 birthday wishes..


the MOMENT.


awwww.. so blissed! :)


the rowdy girls.


happy birthday darling! :)

to the qb august/sept birthday trio, happy birthday to you too! i didn't go for this again.. sorry madeline (aka the organiser).. she really put in alot of effort to organise such outings alright, time/place/movie/dinner/birthday present.. double sorry. but i guessed you guys equally had fun without my presence. lol.

september 1st - jamie
was invited to attend her preppy-chic birthday bash, but didn't go. was sick! aurgghh. sorry arh jamie. =( missed her. will find time to meet.. yup not "say-say-only" kind. promise! :)

more to come in end-september...

"still floating..."

is the state i'm in now - after a day (and night) of concussion.

all thanks to stupid fever.. urgghhh...

was feverish the past few days, didn't really bother about it since i was still "function-able" (i.e. able to do projects, meetings, tutorials, new assignments, make appointments, and the likes).

in fact, i was still well and fine yesterday morning.. did online simulation game with my proj mates, and scheduled follow-up meetings for this proj and FYP.

afternoon: beginning to feel really sick. experiencing cold palms and feet, albeit boiling temperature. could not do anything but lie in bed (and to bear with the sickening construction noise pollution downstairs. damn.). record temperature: 40.8 degrees.

night: finally wobbled my way to the doctor.. (and bearing with his nagging for seeking consultation only till now, why do i have 3-day week when there's no such thing in nus medicine.. yada yada..) ate a whole irritating load of medicine (psst. but i deliberately skipped the cough mixture) and plonked into bed straight after.

result: i missed all the proj meetings! damnnn. i hate this.

...

i feel weak.


the crazy weather is tormenting me.


my brain is torturing me with haunting flashbacks.


i am weak.


damn it, just let me off.

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?
