X'mas@Vivocity
X'mas@Vivocity
i know this is kinda late~ hahah but i have been busy with lotsa stuff... this year's christmas, i spent it with my mum at Vivocity. that was my first trip there and the place is wonderful~ with an interesting and refreshing concept, it has successfully created an impressive shopping experience for Singaporeans. i love the balconies. especially when night falls, the whole place was so dark and cool~ apart from the potential danger spots such as the shallow pools beside the wooden walkways, the place is very spacious and and -calm-. aiya, i just find the right word to describe, go and feel urself. the view ain't breath-taking. i can see ferries, cable cars, sentosa, merlion and the port. other than that, it was just narrow strait. but it's nice to have another view which u can hardly catch elsewhere.
mama and I at marks and spencer (her muz have shop)

Nothing beats Ding Tai Feng.

shopping there was oka-y. with those high-end boutiques, the range of shopping was sized down, but still, u can find some cool stuff in the mall~ i find the malaysian fashion shop, 'nichii', quite nice. clothes are relatively cheaper without ani compromise in fashion trend. cool cool, thumbs up!

Vivocity is big!!! a storey of shopping can take up some time~~ haha the first floor is full of high end fashion boutiques . 2nd storey onwards is better.

christmas celebration with my sarang (soup rest. & haagan)

:*☆※o(´´*)Merry*Christmas(*´´)o※☆:*


i'm here to write about my Christmas celebration with my love.... blog is such a good thing cuz it memorizes everything with pictures and words. We can't remember everything that's happening in life, and so with the blog helping us to remember some of the events, memories can resurface and you will go arrrr~ that time ah~ ya! ya ~ ya~ :)

okay~ it was simple stuff on that day, but it was great simply because i'm with my boy. we had our lunch cum dinner at soup restaurant. we know that a meal at that restaurant can fill us up to the brim of our throat . oh, i can't praise myself more because the time we chose to eat there was so quiet and calm~-~wooo~ the food was great, the place was great. Food, as usual, was not disappointing and the mee suah was yummi mum mum. just a pity that the soup of the day wasn't lotus peanut soup.

Happily fed with peanuts, chicken, mee suah, veg and soup


Then we went for shopping to aid digestion. it was getting to the dinner time and the crowd was rushing in. what's more it was a Saturday. Walking though suntec wasn't easy. you need good walking tactics and strategies (just like driving) and also a good man to hold your hands to bring you out of the crushing crowd.

After that, we went to esplanade for our dessert. it was fondue that we were looking forward to. and guess what? the waitress said that the last set of fondue was just sent out~!!! oh man~ i was like -_-||| kaoz~! luckily, after some 'communication' with the manager via the waitress, we got our set of fondue~!!!! yeah! ahahaha aiya, i dun noe -how- but i just care about it appearing on my table~ .... maybe my expectation was too high for e fondue, it wasn't as good as i thought it would be. and it's also expensive for two person sharing a pot.

Anyway, i love that day of celebration and also the wonderful person sitting opposite to me. There were special surprises which i can never forget.

(^_-)wink
Thank you my boy.

The Grudge 2 and selling of TB

hello~! i just watch The Grudge 2 on youtube and it was definitely a daring try of me. ghost movies have very very very persistent after effect. but i think i should try this show cuz edison is in it~ hehehe and also, i was curious to know how scary can this ju-on sequel be. And so, to prevent any possibility of serious consequences, i watched the show half-heartedly by opening another window by its side and do something else. haha one of the scary part which i's watched full-heartedly is the pic at the left. pretty scary... but, you noe, when the video screen is so small and volume down to almost 0 decibel... hehehehe it's still okay lar~

okay okay. now i'm going to sell 2 textbooks here. they were for my science module "Great Ideas in Contemporary Physics" in the past semester. both books are in very good condition and only one book has minimal highlight and underline. 2 books for $15. leave a note at the tagboard if u're interested. oh btw, the titles are "Cosmology - A Very Short Introduction" and "Introducing Quantum Theory". And also, the books are meant for beginners and thus, they're easy to read and understand. suitable for casual reading or to widen your general knowledge~ [click pictures to have a clearer view]

Marina sq+shopping+bro's operation+united sq+croc dentist+sushi buffet+hammies' angel & santa claus
BLOGGIE~
hi there~ it's been busy... and i have been neglecting this little spot....
Phenomenon. Christmas is coming and i can feel the festive season atmosphere especially strong this year. many shops are filled with people grabbing and wrapping stuff. Chocolate stores are having really long queues and toys stores are blasted with kids' shouting. and all around the place, u can see people carrying big bags with nicely wrapped stocks. i guess the economy is pretty good for 2006, Singaporeans seem to be buying more ferociously this time round. including me~! haha it's a 羊群效应 la~ hahahaha

[christmas lighting@marina square]

lemme recall what I'd done for the past few days with these pics~

bro's operation
my bro is becoming more handsome ~ wooo~

here's mum outside the operating theater. everybody else were too sian of sitting except mama.

while bro was in the ward, there were so many interesting things happening in the hospital. Some idiotic old man trying to act cute and was coaxed by doctor and nurses. he was making so much noise and he thought he was some big shot. buay zi dong. And then I saw this old man lying on his bed with many tubings and devices around him... he seemed so fragile and sick... if i were his family member, i will be by his bedside for every second.

and there were some irritating patients who were simply too staying in the hosp for too long and were very bored. Some kept paging the nurses, and some were singing. the rest were just watching time flies.... .... ... .

next up, i was doing quite a lot of shopping. School is starting soon and i'm in dire need to revamp my wardrobe. and because the main aim was to prepare my attire for school, most of the 战利品 are jeans and t-shirts. how typical.

went to down to pay for my WAT program again. this time, my partner and i had time to sit down and talk bout the exciting trip. hehe


was also on a buying spree for presents. here and there, i feel so happy when i am able to get things for my friends and make them happy.
[hi! i'm the crocodile that bites!]

hehehe and this is something that eventually become mine after a series of ...hmm... dilemma and difficult decisions? hahaha anyway, it's sooo cool and i luv it max max max. though it gets pretty boring when you play it repeated at one go, it is still a jolly good toy in times of boredom. i always burst out a good loud laugh when it bites me~ muahhahaha
[sushi! sushi!]

apart from that.... it's food, chocolates, wishes and music~ oh, i'm giving up Japanese language for sure for now.... it's bloody sucky for me to think of this decision and it's disgusting... i shouldn't have fool myself to pick up this language when i'm not totally into it. before i get myself stuck in some mud pool, i better slap myself and 悬崖勒马. and then tell myself, Korean is what that runs in my blood.

music, talking about music. i must introduce u guys this amazing person - Sung Si Kyung 성시경. i have been listening to his music for quite a while and he's good in not disappointing me along the journey. this guy has a smooth vocal and his ballads are unbeatable. jo sung mo is also good, but to me, he's the best of the best of the best~ Ballad is ah kyung's ace card but his tries in other genre are great as well. and in his latest album "Vol. 5 The Ballads", the main song 'On The Street' is sooo good~ a bit different from the typical ballads he had done, but the charm is still there and never fading!

okay... it's a long entry... i had my christmas celebration with my boy today. big smile, big love. will blog about this wonderful day later...

oh ya, i brought an angel and santa claus for my hammies~ they'll be bringing them all the blessings yeah!
[this is the angel for xiaohei]
[xiaohei looking at the angel]

this is santa claus for xiaoham. he's more classy this time round so he changed his usual red-white outfit to a classier looking gold-white outfit.
meow~

So You Think You Can Dance II

Allison and Ivan doing the contemporary number

hey people~

these few days were pretty busy for me.... but i'm quite happy today cuz there's 'So You Think You Can Dance?' tonight ~!!!

i had been watching this show for a few times, and it's really getting real time dancing into me, well, or generally into the public mind. Dancing, nowadays, are featured to be cool, hip and in the trend. i guess what's leading up to that image and trend should be hip-hop, break dance and those korean poppin' and urban dance grooves~~ but definitely, it's bringing more exposure to more down-to-root dances such as the ballroom dance.

anyway, this show is indeed bringing much much more to the audience, because, not only it is showing a wide range of different dance types, it is bringing us different variations within each dance genre~ how great~! so dun trap urself in ur small and dull box of dance concept (if u're in it right now). watch this show and you can know how contemporary dance can varies and how ballroom dances can spark ur life~

Suntec & Bugis[sarang & biao jie] + my little white sling bag + stop LAJ
hello everybody~

these few days, my desktop is down and my papa is operating on it... most of the time, my room was invaded, and like this morning, my dad marched in at about 10.30am~ oh gosh, that was about the middle part of my sleep~ .... luckily i have this blackie with me...

it's been raining heavily recently. the thunder and lightning were very intense. and the rain usually starts from afternoon or late afternoon, which is the time when i am all alone at home. those flashes and roars are so scary... i think there is a general trend of the thunder getting louder and the lightning getting brighter. what might had caused that? global warming?

was at suntec last night and the christmas lightings are up and there are beautiful... and the most beautiful thing was that i met my cousin on the city hall platform~ wahahaha we were chatting on msn just the day before to meet out some day and we were seeing each other the next day~! hahahah it feels so good seeing my dear cousin.... :) :) :) it just made my day nicer.

these days, i was still thinking of whether to continue with japanese language 3. Continuation of korean drama, korean songs, korean idols and korea culture is so much appealing to me right now, and this had made me not even building the interest for anithing japanese. otteke? hai~ so sian. anibody has great japanese songs or drama to introduce to me?

红星大奖 2006
hey hey people

went to lot 1 just now and was surprised by the price of a bag which i wanted to buy. it's 22.90 bucks for a small small bag. it's immoral business out there for my hammies' sake~ and so, i set myself a challenge: i will find a similar one at a much lower price. yes.

these days, i keep thinking about the culture shock which Isabel told be about on Saturday. hahaha the world is so amazing. my mama always say this: 一种米养白种人. indeed, it's really amazing.

Photo from TravelBlog.org

watched 红星大奖 2006 just now and it's quite depressing... some snippets are a repeat, some serious errors and it's went on for quite a while, presenters are pretty casual and not very 'entertaining'. i wonder when.... when.... soon, i hope, soon it'll become better.

some stuff which are meant to be kept silent about like the studio workers' signals to the people on stage, they are meant to signals, SIGNALS. and those receiving these signals are reading them out loud to the audience. i dun get it~ is that something for them to fill in the empty spaces in their speech or adding some specific value to the stuff there're talking about? aniway, i dunno why is it so and everyone going on the stage follow suit.

And also some stunning words used by gurmit singh. "kana sai" is not really an appropriate and presentable phrase to be use on national tv or even anywhere publicly. i dunno, again, whether is that adding to the entertainment value of his thank you speech or is that just an unconscious spit of his unhappiness.... but in whatever means, i think it's quite inappropriate. do u guys noe how to distinguish whether words,such as kana sai, are going to be presentable or not? the first thing to look out for, after the phrase is being said, is the expressions on the listeners or audience. if there's a dubious or uncertain or stun look on their faces instantaneously, it means it's not a nice thing. no matter how they try to laugh or smile after a while, it's definitely not a nice thing. cuz if that's funni or so, the immediate effect will be transmitted and felt immediately.

some interesting bao liao in the show: the new couple michelle chia and shaun chen. hahah am i the last to noe or this ain't something new??? hahaha but it's pretty sweet seeing michelle thanking her sweetheart by calling his pet name. something like "pi pi" and some charming stars like lee nanxing is really cool. he's not bad looking~ hahaha~ and i find zoe tay's hair very cute~

i wonder when.... when.... soon, i hope, soon it'll become better. it's sad to see the bad points alone although they're shouting out loud to me. i will support Singapore tv. hope that there'll be more improvements. and above views are solely my personal opinions, though they contain some truth. hehe

Isabel and WAT
hi hi~!

just came back from yew tee central. met my old pal cum ex bandmate cum ex-classmate cum current schoolmate. hahah Isabel desune~ the conversation was great... just sit there and chat the way through. so interesting~~~

i'm watching Spring Waltz on youtube now and it's not that bad. hahah - only when it comes to daniel henney's dashing good looks. and that bad woman is the show is jiang de jiu's wife in Dae Jang Geum. hahah so weird seeing her in modern clothes and acting in a more restrained role.
hmmm it's another typical korean drama, with a couple loving each other but their love is forbidden. and then they'll go through all the objections and finally, either one will die, or they go happily together, or both will die.
aniway, Rain is still the best!
have a happi day~

kbox + pink panther
hey hey~

LG is really making my Life's good.
goong, i'm currently re-watching that on dvd since my last view on youtube in April or so earlier this year

woo it's been quite lag in my blog entries... oppz... hang in there...
yea, amazingly, i had been sleeping alot~ really alot~ i wonder how can my body take in that much of excess sleep. in return, i got an irritating headache. it's like a cycle, i got headache and so i went to sleep; awake with the pain still pestering me, i got back to sleep again. yea, that's it...

today is a beautiful day, i was up at an amazing hour of 7.30AM. wahahaha even seeing my papa off to work and playing with my hammies who are having their last tinge of energy left before they head on to their daytime sleep till the evening.

i had my first ever kbox session on Monday after a very long wait. hahah i think i haven't been going karaoke since the start of the last sem~ wooo~ it was great seeing my good old pals~ we grew together, dun we? ahhhh it's nice and sweet to see all of them well and fine.... and i'm really sorry that i'd to leave early. muack!

ooo, during the session in cine kbox, i met this really rude and not service-industry-ethic-educated worker who, received my tidbits bowls w/o stopping her footsteps and not letting me finish my sentence. i just hope kbox company would see this can do something, oh mighty please.

then, this morning, i went to mac for lunch and this service crew was also, not paying attention to my "can i have 4 packets of ketchup, please". and i have to repeat like thrice cuz she was repeated distracted by the callings whatever to and from the kitchen.

watch your back babies, i'm in a damn tough service industry before and i noe my stuff even though i'm just a teeny staff. maybe that's what my harsh working env had brought me to such scrutiny, but whatsoever, get rid of that real time attitude b4 something happens


watched 'the pink panther' movie this afternoon and it's real damn goood~ oh gosh~ stupid yet and, u noe, the lameness is not just pathetic, it is over-pathetic~ it had cross that very thin line and definitely is FUNNY~ wahahahahah Steve Martin roxXx!


these days, i have a guesstimate that i'm going to end my Japanese language education soon. real soon... kept having the thought that the module is getting damn difficult, and immoral. racking nerve racking to imagine the unspeakable grade appearing on my report card that's gonna be due on, i dunno, christmas time? hai~ aniway, it's like having so much tutorial and lecture hours and effort (imagine memorizing so much vocabs and kanjis which are snowballing sem after sem), i guess the pursue is/may be reaching my limit.... aniway, my interest is in Korean though, i just dun feel gan wan (or gan yuan) that i had to forsake the language which i took pain to learn for a year...

hello~

ooo, have been sleeping, reading comics and watching a lot of stuff on tv and computer. head is getting dizzy cuz of the excess sleep. hahaha it's always like this during holidays. aniway, the arrival of the big goody is pushed forward to tml~ oh gosh~ i gotta get back home quick to see it~ wahahahaha

hmm~ i started doing exercise these few days, i mean indoor... my foot's not ready for track shoes...
that's blue lotion.. i doubt i can wear even sandals. it's soooo painful when walking barefooted at home...

papa got the webcam and i tried it out with yunling. it's real cool~ but i dunno why there isn't (or there is, just that i dunno how to turn it on) microphone on it... aniway, my tare had a great time dancing infront of the cam, she looks great on 'pc' wahahaha
[here's tare posing with the microsoft cam]

oh goodness, i can feel the flu coming... oh no no~ dun come, i needa go out n play tml~~~ time to pop those 'defend and resist complex' ....

okay~ today, i made some konniyaku jelly~supposedly for my ladies tml, but i guess they're not having this luck. i'm totalli messed up with it. shit, i think i need my mum to be with me when i'm doing anything in the kitchen. i dunno why, the instructions are so clear yet i just messed up with th steps. ended up, everything is fine and dandy, except for the toughness. it's too soft, and too watery to pick up an entire piece, the peach pieces just fall out of the jelly... oh no, wat a waste of my effort.... but it's still edible and nice~ just that u have to use a teaspoon to feed into e mouth. anybody wanna try???

IT'S OVER!

[now u see it]

[now u dun~ wahahaha]

yea yea~ exams are finalli over!

and one big thing i'm looking forward to is happening on 9th Dec. something big is coming and i'm going to hit it with go~o~ng~~

there're so many things on my mind now, and i dun noe where to start from...

well, of course, the first thing to do after exams is to witness the transition of those very-much-valued lecture notes to wastepapers. (*・_・)ノ⌒*
wahahahaha that's shiok~

Many personal projects coming along too. and needless to say, the ultimate slimming project is definitely in place.
(;´ρ`) oh, not forgetting the sleep replenish project~ hahaha

hmm, well, had ikea meatball last nite with minxiu after the finale paper. gorgeous, it's been ages since i had that swedish balls~ it had become a bit too salty. aniway, the food is still great but the crowd is getting me annoyed. and when there're kids screaming like mad psycho, i realli feel like slapping'em.

One month is going to pass like shit, so i guess i had to be enthu and make my winter hols (as mh wanna call it) nice and beautiful.
