The trend is back during semester break.

Usually after a semester, we'll try to organize a senior cum junior day outing to catch up with one another, in particular with our seniors! This is the norm for cds. On a happier note, i'm glad it once again went on smoothly as planned. Considered successful huh though it's only a small group. It's always the usual few who are available and agreeable to this outing, hence, we decided to keep it small this time round. Nevertheless, there was endless fun with them all that day.

Early in the morning, Jie ying agreed to meet us up for a morning breakfast 'for Sok will have to leave after 11am once again. Thanks Jie ying for being willing to meet up this early with us, haha! Sorry to deprive you from your sleep, lol.
As my friend got to leave early, we must definitely capture some photos with her and Jie ying as keepsake. As for me, i decided to leave more phototakings towards the later part of the day since i'll be with her and the rest throughout the afternoon and evening time:)

Soon after leaving lot one, my friends and i proceeded on to our next stop, Buona Vista, to meet eileen and later on meet fang xuan straight at Holland Village for EVERYTHING WITH FRIES! If you still remember, in one of my previous entries, i did mention about this western cafe restaurant which serves delectable western food. This time round, i'm back to this place again for it's also one of my suggestions!

They have all the starters, main courses, desserts...etc written on the wall. It looks as though it was written with white chalk on the old kind of blackboards in school. Nice interior design.

These were what we've ordered that day. eileen went for this breaded king salmon main course. The salmon tastes okay, but we all feel that the sauce that comes along doesn't go very well with the salmon. Next time round, we shall just do away with its sauce. we couldn't make out what sauce is it either after tasting it.

my friend brought along another small accessory-like camera and we all were fascinated with it. Note, this is not a fake camera! It is REAL and it works on those kind of films, whereby after you've captured, you'll have to wash out the films in order to see those photos. Somewhat like the old type of cameras but with a more artistic design! How interesting, isn't it?

After a fulfilling lunch at Everything with fries, we proceeded on to our 3rd stop for the day, which is Haji Lane. I've never been there before but heard others raving about this place.

This is Haji Lane. It is located somewhere near bugis area, but you'll have to walk a stretch of road. Haji Lane is more like rows of shophouses as you can see from the above photo.

Some random shots captured in the shops in Haji Lane. It was more like a window-shopping for me in the end 'for i didn't get a single piece for myself. i'm just not in the shopping mood nowadays, lol. Except when i'm overseas, i'll then go all out for a shopping spree there!

We managed to comb the whole Haji Lane 'for it isn't that big. Soon after that, we proceeded on to Iluma for a tea time break. Our legs were almost breaking and we were all tired out from the long walk. we went to this ice-cream dessert place to chill.


And again it's CAM-WHORING TIME!!!!!

Great day out with the seniors once again! Andd this time round, we have more seniors joining us! The more, the merrier! Thank you seniors for all the fun and do take care! We shall be seeing you guys some other days again, most probably after the end of next semester! That's our cds trend, isn't it?:)

That's for now.

Hang on there

Life has never get any better ever since the commencement of this semester. With increasing workloads each day, it's almost impossible for you to continue slacking any further. Unlike the previous semester when i almost led a carefree life in school, this semester is a huge difference. Year two's workloads are much more demanding and overwhelming. Worst still, the modules taken this semester have lots of contents for you to digest and before you knew it, report assignments, presentations are nearing datelines! How on earth can we have sufficient time to accomplish our tasks within such a short time frame?!? Seriously, this is not a good life.
Fast paced, stressful and hectic lifestyle.
This is part of our curriculum and there is no way we can avoid. No doubt the journey is going to get tougher, but we just have to hang on there and give one another the support. Things will be fine as you go on. I've just completed my first presentation for AED201 module. I think my group did ok for most of our audiences were engaged in our Amazing Race activity. On the flip side of the coin, there were also some flaws pointed out by one or two audiences which my group has overlooked. Seriously speaking, given the time constraint as we were the first group to present, it's kind of rush to complete everything perfectly within a week. I guess we did our best. Prof said he'll take into consideration we're the first group to present and maybe be a little more lenient. i hope so. Still, overall it was not too bad a start. Anddd finally one is down!

Amidst all these stress, i'll find my own ways to de-stress. You have to balance your life and not just spend your time solely on studying. i believe most of your out there will agree this fact with me. For myself, i'm always glad i have wonderful friends as companions on a weekend night. For once, i'll forget all my troubles and stress when with them.

Thank you guys♥

God bless all.

weather is perfectly fine for a ride♥

The idea of going to the beach was long planned with them ever since couple of months ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't a feasible plan back then for we're all occupied with studies and work stuffs... Still we did not give up the idea of going to the beach for picnic cum cycling for we believe the plan will be successfully implemented one day.

Finally, on one fine Sunday, this beach plan was successfully carried out. It was kind of a random decision. All of a sudden, we came to a consensus the day before when we met up on our usual saturday's evening. Can't help it given our extemporaneous personalities by nature, haha! It was SO SO SO RANDOM!

However, the plan had to be postponed initially when it was raining cats and dogs on the Sunday's morning. As predicted over the weather forecast, Sok told us that it will be a straight 5 hours heavy rain islandwide. How true can the weather forecast prediction be?!

With that, we decided to change our beach plan to shopping instead. And now the problem comes in...Which good places in Singapore to shop? AMK Hub, Orchard, Bugis...etc. We didn't manage to reach a consensus for a suitable place to shop and chill-out and we simply just board the train and head down to the east... As the train moves on further down, we notice a change of weather. Sky was not overcast, black ominous clouds were no longer seen... The weather is getting more sunny. Weather should be fine for a ride, we thought. Most importantly, our cycling plan need not be postponed! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a whole load of fun despite cycling for only two hours at the beach. The weather was bright and sunny. It's unlike what was predicted over the weather forecast. Even heaven is on our side! We rented two different bikes, one of the normal single bike and another one was the double bike. We cycled in the wrong direction at first and upon coming to a dead end junction, we made a U-turn to the opposite direction for better scenic views:) It was a nice ride along the way. With Sok as my front cyclist on the double bike, i feel so safe seated behind while capturing snapshots of the captivating scenery along the way... And of course, wk hopped onto the single bike. After cycling for a short while, we stopped over at this Bedok Jetty and this was the place where we captured some nice photos together as a trio clique along with some fun jump shots!!! (Thank you photographer Sok for helping me and wk with those jump shots!)

It has been quite some time since we last had such a wonderful trio outing together. Though it's only few hours of fun, but we treasure those times spent with one another. Happy moments are always transient, but the memories that we once shared will always be there...

Cherish our friendship♥

Hope you've once again enjoyed my self-edited video!♥♥

i would love to go marina barrage for picnic some days too. I've long heard about this place and seen nice photos from friends' ablum as posted on facebook. I'm sure it'll be a nice place for a first time visit!

That's for now.

Greetings to Thailand, Sawadee ka♥

i'm safely back home from bangkok since last Tuesday. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, 4 days 3 nights' stay in Bangkok has come to an end. Despite the fact, i'm still very much in holiday mood and i'm missing bangkok sooooo much now. My friend was right. She said we would leave the place with reluctance. i miss everything there, the Amari Atrium Hotel, the daily breakfast buffet, the food(signature dishes), the bunch of friends who were with me during the trip and most IMPORTANTLY, the endless shopping spree in that paradise during our stay.

To add on to it, this entire bangkok trip was not only an exciting and fun trip, but also a thrilling and nerve-wrecking experience that we've encountered. Coming to think of it now, it is rather dramatic having to encounter few unexpected incidents occuring one after another. Who would have expect us to miss our flight?! Oh my goodness!!!

Sounds scary huh? Anyway, i shall fill you guys in about the fun part of Bangkok first before we move on to the nerve-wrecking experience part that was encountered.

Our flight was early in the morning back on the 13th August and which also means that we'll have to wake up even before dawn to get ready to set off to the airport. Thankfully, adeline's dad offered to drive us to the airport if not we'd have to on-call a cabby at this wee hour. The flight was slightly delayed and we landed in Bangkok roughly 9 plus near 10 in the morning. Definitely, the first thing to do is to check in hotel and leave your heavy baggages behind before you start off your first day of exploration in a new country. Upon our arrival in Amari Atrium Hotel, we received a warm welcome from the bell boy who opened our cabby door and carried our luggages for us. Soon after, we were served with a welcome drink at the dining area. First impression of the hotel's lobby and dining restaurant area was pretty good. Nice and cosy ambience, warm lightings and good services by the staffs there. Check out my video "Bangkok Holiday Trip(Part One)" below to find out more about our accomodation in Bkk:)

Bangkok Holiday Trip (Part One)


Room 1907, thanks for the nice stay:)

The moment we stepped foot into streets of Bangkok, we became SHOPAHOLICS!!! i really have to say this: "Bangkok is no doubt a shopping paradise!" Even for myself, i can't resist the temptations not to shop there. I've to admit that i was a shopaholic during my stay in Bangkok. Their clothings there are rather fashionable and most importantly they are not charged at an exorbitant price. What's more to add on to it are the bargainings with the stallholders and the wholesale prices almost EVERYWHERE!

Few shopping malls and street markets we've visited: (1) The Platinum Fashion Mall, (2) MBK, (3) Chatuchak weekend market, (4) Suan Lum Night Bazaar.

(1) The Platinum Fashion Mall: This shopping mall looks kinda' like Singapore's Far East Plaza where there are different small shops lining side by side to each other in different levels. This is where WHOLESALE prices can be seen almost everywhere in the mall. For eg. A shirt alone costs 250Thai Bahts (ard 10.60 sing dollars) and if you'll to get three pieces at one go, they'll charge you at a wholesale prices of 150Thai Bahts each (ard 6.40 sing dollars). That's what they meant by WHOLESALE. The more you buy, the cheaper they cost!

How cheappppp can that be, having to bring home a top or bottom at ONLY 6 plus sing dollars!!!

(Since most shops there have this WHOLESALE policy, it's not that easy to bargain prices with them given the fact that it is already sooo cheap for one. However, you can still give it a try 'for we managed to bargain in some stores.)

(2) MBK: One of the higher range malls in Bangkok. MBK Center has long stood as a top shopping landmark of the metropolitan. You can find fashionable trendy clothes, cool accessories, nice jewelleries, hi-tech devices like mobile phones and computers there etc. With more than 150 dining establishments, you can easily find an eatery and comfortably sit in to dine in with your families/friends after a tiring day of shoppings. This place is also where we bought our snacks and food back for our families.

(3) Chatuchak Weekend Market: As the name goes, this market only operates during weekend(sat and sun) from 9am till 6pm. According to my friend, the first customer of the day gets to bargain a good price 'for the stall owners in Thai have this belief that the item must be sold out upon their first customer. They believe this brings them luck, showing that it's a good start of the day!

(4) Suan Lum Night Bazaar: A pity we didn't visit Suan Lum Night Bazaar on the first day:(:( It is less crowded compared to Chatuchak market and other malls we've been to. The good thing here in this night bazaar is it's easier to bargain with the stall owners. One thing also to take note here is the high prices offered by the stall owners. Therefore, it is important to BARGAIN a good price with them. You wouldn't want to purchase something back home from Bangkok where you can fetch a similar price like one in Singapore! It's not worth buying if the goods there are charged at an exorbitant price. REMEMBER it's BANGKOK, so everything MUST BEEE CHEAPPPPP!!! tsktsk.

Now, check out "Bangkok Holiday Trip(Part Two)" to find out more about the malls and markets we visited during our stay.

Bangkok Holiday Trip(Part Two)

Thailand is well known for their "TOM YAM SOUP" and "PAD THAI" so it's a MUST for you to try during your stay there. The first day when my friend ordered the tom yam soup noodle at Platinum's foodcourt, we were all in love with the soup♥ In comparison with the tom yam soup tried at a street eatery near Suan Lum Night Bazaar, we preferred the one at Platinum to it. Thai's tom yam is different from Singapore's one. The spices the Thais use for their soup enhances the taste, making it even more spicy and sour. Nice♥

Apart from indulging in Thailand's signature dishes, deborah and me also visited one of their popular coffee houses like "Black Canyon Coffee" for tea session despite overseas. The price of ice-blended frappes and cake delights sold there are slightly cheaper than Singapore's ones. Not forgetting Red Mango's Yogurt, which is one of the best yummy yogurts that i've savoured so far. Deborah recommended this Red Mango's yogurt to me and i was told that the yogurt there is also cheaper. As you can see, the standard of living in Bangkok is lower, therefore most of the things there are cheaper than the ones in our country. Be it clothings, food, menicure, massage and EVEN TRANSPORTATIONS! (It is superrrr cheappp to take cab in Bangkok. Most of the times, we were travelling to and fro places by cab!)

i'm missing the daily breakfast buffet in Amari Atrium Hotel too! This and that...AHHHH!!!! In short, i'm missing bangkok♥

That's for now. Next up, i'll be ranting on my jetstar flight:( Stay Tune.

Netizens, apologies for the delayed posting of entries. I've been neglecting my blog for quite some while with no frequent updates 'cause i was kept busy with the compilation of photos in my video editings. Instead of writing an entry, i've decided to blog them up here with videos instead.
Sit back and relax.

Are you game enough for some console thrills?

Are you game enough for some console thrills?

There's an awesome entertainment area out there along prinsep street which is a must go. Previously known as The Hangout, Playnation is founded at creating a cosy nice ambience place for youngsters to chill and have hell loads of fun with boardgamings and console games. Be it console or boardgames, it's definitely going to be a memorable and exciting stay for you there.

The more the merrier, as the saying goes. Despite having not meet up for ages, this bunch of people continues to be as crazy as before, or even more now. The fun is always there with their presence. Self entertainment, laughing at our own nonsensical selves, full of lame jokes and craps; that's what we always do. It's a norm. So long as its CDS peeps gathering together, you will never fail to witness that. i miss my seniors and we've been longing for a senior cum junior outing some time ago. Finally, it was successfully carried out on the 29th july. Though it wasn't a complete one with everyone in, however, we all had our fair share of fun that day. GREAT QUALITY TIME spent together.

Time to brief you our lined up activities for the day.
First Stop was NONE OTHER than Playnation.

You can have a go at wii or xbox over at playnation if you've yet to play one before. As we only went for console games, there were no boardgames involved. Wii was first played. With guitar hero (first game) lasting as long as two hours. SIMPLY AWESOME TO THE MAX!!! Guitar Hero is a musical game, more like a rock band game though where you can unleash your inner rock star. It consists of 2 guitarists, 1 percussionist and 1 vocalist. All in all four players are playing as though like rock band stars each time. i ♥ being a guitarist as well as a percussionist! All went well till weikiat started hogging onto the mike and singing off tune. He's trying to be funny out there but had definitely fulfilled his entertainment purposes. That's him. (*laughs*)

A joker in my clique who never fail to tickle me.

Presenting to you, this trio rock band.

(Jie ying, Eileen, Me, Fang xuan, Wei kiat, Yi Qiang)
And now presenting to you, the six of us! :D

Time flies. Our happy hour(2pm-6pm) @ playnation was over in the blink of an eye. Evening falls and its time to satisfy our hunger pangs. We came to a consensus to choose cafe cartel for dinner over the rest of the restaurants in Plaza Singapura. "Tender Chicken and Butter Tiger Prawns" was what i ordered there. Taken aback by the portion of this main course meal where it comes not only with the hotplate itself, but an additional salad side dish, not to mention my add-on soup and drinks. You can imagine how fulfilling this meal is for me that day.

Over dinner, we chatted, laughed over trivial stuffs, cam-whored etc.

With my lovely seniors♥

Our dinner and chit chatty session went beyond 9pm and this is the time when all cakes, ice-creams, beverages are going at half price over at cafe cartel. Their 50% irresistible promotion after 9pm. We went for it despite after the full meal. Eileen, jieying and me shared a maple waffle syrup served with cookies and cream ice-cream and the rest went for brownie, ice-cream sundae and cheese cake respectively. Sweet delights for the night! (Sadly, the waffle and brownie aren't under the promotion delights. we overlooked it.)

It was a lovely night spent with them. Also not forgetting the thrilling and exciting part in the afternoon with our console games as great companions. One thing to note here is wii can be real tiring. Most of us were zonked out after playing that 'cause it requires lots of vigorous hand movements. My muscles are aching even till now.

Anw, eileen brought along her EOS 550D Canon DSLR over the other day and that was the first time i actually played around with a DSLR. She took good photos of us with it. i'm coming to love dslr even more. The buttons may seem to be a lil' complicated at first but slowly, you can easily get the hang of it. Something interesting i've found out from her is you can get to choose either auto focus or manual focus. With manual focus, you can play around with the zoom in zoom out lens and capture nice focused images with blurred edges. How awesome, isn't it? DSLR does wonders.

Baby Canon, i'm bringing you home one day.

That's for now.

The addictive drug runs in me

Yes! You're right! You didn't see wrongly! It's once again another kbox session for me. We have an additional companion with us for the day, weihao! He claimed that he loves phototaking for he was once in photography club. With that, we could easily capture nice photos of our full clique gathering. Thank you, photographer weihao!:) And this time round, not just one camera, 6 different cameras (be it phone cameras or digital cameras) are going around. That explains the number of photos we're tagged individually on facebook, tsktsk! Cam-whoring Day!

It was set at AMK Hub's MOF for lunch to satisfy our hunger pangs before ksession. This particular outlet of MOF is rather big and cosy to chill with your friends. They even have sofa seats there. I guess if we're staying a bit longer, we would have moved over to those sofa seats. It was only a short lunch for we're planning to queue for koi after that. Every minute is precious if we're sticking to plan:)

i love this shot here.♥ This adds on to our collection of full clique's photos.

A more spacious room, additional of mike makes the entire four hours of k-singing a more enjoyable one. KPOP Thrill. i dislike those rooms which are squeezy, making it difficult for one to cross over to choose songs on the screen.

Speaking of koi, as promised to try out another flavour, i ordered oolong milk tea yesterday. We were planning to "smuggle" our koi into kbox secretly. The plan was a total flop. we managed to bring it in successfully at first but unfortunately in the next few minutes, the kbox waitress caught her eyes on our koi when she came into our room and confiscated them:(:( Mood Dampening! There goes my freshly made oolong milk tea. As a result, it did not taste that fantastic after end of ksession. The ice melted.
(Amk's KBox is soooo strict!)

i'm glad i actually bumped into these 5 girls in my uni life. School days are livened up with their presence. Fate plays an important part here having getting to know them. i will treasure the friendship ties we have and hope our friendship will continue to grow down the years. Well, its only the end of year one; there's still three more years to go! There are many more places out there for us to explore and seek fun together. P-L-A-Y is always in our dictionaries. And weihao is a funny chap! Somehow, he's somewhat like another guy friend of mine. haha!
Loads of fun with the peeps!

That's for now.

There's always a backup plan

When plan A failed, there's always a plan B to act as backup. Choosing a place for outing is important just in case if premediated plan failed, there's always some other things to keep you occupied for the day. K-session was a total flop that day. The duration to sing was too short as we did not book a room in advance. Despite having the 8 nett promotion, still, it was not worthwhile to sing just only for two hours. With the initial thought of catching a movie together after ksession plan failed, it was once again another flop. The second failed attempt for the day.

Eventually, the day was spent playing pool and arcade after lunch at secret recipe.

That day was the very first time we played pool together.

There are different strategies in playing pool. Ultimately, the one who gets the black ball in after every other ball is hit in wins the game. Somehow after this game, we came to realize there are good players inside our clique. It's not just a game of pool alone, but to learn from and share tips with one another.

After knowing one another for quite some time, almost near to a year, it dawned upon me that we have never once been to arcade as a whole before. The common hot favourite games are none other than daytona, time crisis, bishi bashi, taxi driver game etc. we tried them all. i had a whale of time with the girls over at marina square's arcade. For once, i felt as though i've returned back to my teenage years. This was one of my favourite pastimes then.


The next time round, we're not gonna' miss k-session again. Probably, on the next monday?:)

That's for now.

i can't be tamed...

Apologies for this really late and long entry. i've been kept busy with school experience for the past one week plus till there's insufficient time for me to take a second look at my blog and start blogging a new entry. It was really an exhausting week. Having to wake up at 6am during the primary school observation period was already a chore, and worst still, 5.30am every morning during the secondary school observation period. i know i should not be complaining about loss of sleep here for its going to be the same lifestyle once i step foot into the actual teaching career. Allow me to rant about it here first before i don't get a chance to in future. i still regard this as my honeymoon period though...

Amidst that busy week, there's still the existence of fun. You know that, i'm a person who balance my life. It's not all about work and studies, we need our own playtime as well. And so, i chilled out with two different groups of friends on respective days after my observation. Despite already overcomed by fatigue, i still carried on the meeting plan with them... sorry, i just can't be tamed...tsktsk!;)

So here they are,


Dated back on the 7th of July, the ahas celebrated deb's 20th birthday with her over at manhattan. The strength was only four as two others were down due to their busy schedules. Despite that, we still carried on with the birthday plan (premediated surprise). She was taken aback when the waitress walked towards her with a brownie ice-cream cake. Overall, the surprise was a success.

Despite a year older for her, its going to be a better year ahead. Just like fine wine, we grow better with the years.

Dated back on the 8th July...

A hunt down at ikea with two other besties last thursday after my school experience. That was the thing which kept me motivated till the end of the morning session and i left exactly on the dot at 1pm. Coincidentally deb was asking whether i'm free to lunch with her after we knock off at one. i accompanied her. Though it was only a short lunch, i managed to capture some photos with our birthday girl(Deb) and that's the second day i'm celebrating with her.

Soon after that, i proceeded off to meet wk at cck platform and we headed down to woodlands first before changing to the next mode of transportation, boarding on bus 168 from woodlands interchange straight down to tampines ikea. Usually if you were to take mrt down to tampines, it will take you at most 50mins, however, the bus ride only took us 35 minutes to reach our destination. It was a pretty fast ride with wk as companion and given the fact that the bus does not stop that often as it mostly travels on the expressway.
Tampines ikea is somewhat sok's territory. It was my first visit there. The first impression of it is its GIGANTIC!!! They have this huge warehouse in ikea where all the stocks are kept

This is exactly how the warehouse area looks like.

This cafe restaurant at level one sells delicious and cheap hotdog combo at only 2 bucks! i love ikea's hotdogs. In fact, we all love it. sok and wk will never fail to add in the mustard together with chilli sauce. For me, i'm just only having it with chilli sauce for mustard sauce isn't to my liking. Aside to this hotdog combo, the cafe also sells yummy quick bites like curry puffs at only 90cents each. After the first taste, i felt as though i was eating old chang kee's curry puff. Ikea's curry puff has equally nice fillings inside in comparison with old chang kee's and in fact the egg is bigger! Not forgetting the vanilla ice-cream going at 1 buck per cone, you've got to try them.

After the short quick bite, the hunt began. we went on to explore this gigantic furniture store. There are few showrooms where their display of furnitures and designs attracted our attention. we liked the colour combination used, mainly black, white and grey mixture which gives the room a cosy and classy feel. If you have the intention to revamp your house and are currently contemplating of which kind of furniture designs to go for, you might want to consider ikea for they have nice designs in there and the furnitures are not charged at a exorbitant price. It's affordable and you can have a go at DIY-ING your own house!

There are many other fanciful toys under the children's section which caught our attention. Cute, soft fluffy toys for you to cuddle! we were especially interested in those doggy soft toys and we really have the urge to cuddle them back home. i also chanced upon handmade finger puppets which come in a whole packet. A pity i didn't capture any photos of them. They're kawaii.

Ikea is well-known for delectable quickbites and and main courses in their cafe restaurants. Apart from the hotdog combo, they have crispy chicken wings which are finger-licking good as well as meatball meal where the meatballs are tasty and they blend well with the sauce. It's time to dig in during evening time and we indulge in a variety of palatable food. Indeed a sumptuous dinner meal. Night falls soon and we headed back home on our bus ride... i simply just zonked out straight after washing up.

i'm thankful for my bunch of friends who has always been there for me. i always love their presence and i enjoy their company. Especially when the trio gets together, there's no absence of fun and laughters. Time spent is always insufficient and we can never have enough of it. Another week is coming to an end, i'm hoping for a next outing soon. tsktsk. Love you all.

That's for now.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse


In the Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between Edward and Jacob, knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
(Main cast crews: Kristen Stewart(Bella), Robert Pattinson(Edward), Taylor Lautner(Jacob))

Rachel and I are twilight fans, not really die hard fans though... Still remember last year we accompanied each other to watch new moon. This year was no difference; we went on to catch eclipse together when it was first released on 1st of July. The cinema over at amk is awesome. I've never been to amk's theatre and the moment i stepped in there, i was awed by the red spacious seats. The seats are very comfortable and me and rac got a couple seat which is like super spacious. We've no idea how we managed to get that seat, but anyway it was so worth the ticket price having to watch my favourite movie in a nice cosy theatre. Only 6 bucks for that day and it was booked in advance the previous day. (i just come to realize you can actually purchase movie tickets the day before without any additional charges.)

This is amk's cinema theatre.

we satisfy our hunger pangs by indulging in new york new york before the movie. i ordered this fried chicken with mozzarella cheese. It was a good try. The mozzarella cheesy fried chicken tasted not bad. However, the serving is a huge portion. It's too filling for me. Soon after lunch, me together with rac along with her boyfriend went to play pool to kill some time before our eclipse movie commences. It was a 3.50pm show.

Eclipse wasn't a letdown. Back then i didn't really like the new moon's story plot in the movie. It ended off too abruptly. This time round, personally i feel that eclipse is much better than new moon. I would say it's the best among the rest of the twilight saga series, except for breaking dawn which is yet to be aired. New characters are introduced in eclipse- The Newborns. As the malicious vampire, Victoria continues her quest for revenge, Bella is once again surrounded by danger. The newborns are all ready to hunt her down with her scent. This makes the whole movie nerve-wrecking and i could feel the adrenaline rush during some parts of the movie in eclipse. Heart palpitation, cold sweat... i experienced all those throughout the movie. Other than the nerve-wrecking part, the funny part of the movie was when Edward and Jacob were both fighting over Bella. Both their jealousy, it's really cute! (*laughs*)

Thumbs Up for this movie, eclipse:D

That's for now. School Practicum commencing tomorrow...

singing indulgence

i didn't expect singing to be one of my favourite pastimes nowadays. i've to admit that i've been to k-session with friends multiple times this semester break till friends would actually give me a title, "TRUE KBOXER QUEEN" (*laughs*). It didn't dawn upon me till i browse through my past blog entries and facebook ablums that i've actually visit it more than 3 times within a month or two. Indeed, it's fun singing and i'm coming to love it even more... It can't be blamed especially during this period when they're still having this irresistible offer of 8nett per pax in celebration of their 8th year anniversary this year. Promotion is valid all the way till mid-october. So hurry, if you have yet to go! This is too good an opportunity to miss. Where on earth can k-session be as cheappp as this?!?

Accompanied with my uni friends (the flowers clique), we made a trip down to amk to sing. We chose a central location which would be convenient for everyone. It has been sooooO long since we last met up since the previous gathering, which was also ksession. The previous one was a full clique outing, but not this time round... Two had to absent themselves for their staff meeting in their allocated primary school coincidentally falls on the same day. (no worries yue lian and shu wen, we'll hold one more after the practicum!)

It's also a ritual norm for flowers to capture multiple photos every outing. i brought along my camera as well. They're surprised 'cause they thought i didn't have one.

Both me and vivian love big watches. They're our favourites! Coincidentally both our watches are white in colour! Just that one is adidas brand and another is puma!

Candid shots add on to the fun. we had a few funny shots and in one of them vivian said she couldn't help but laugh at my expression. Somehow i felt that i look kinda' retarded in it, but somewhat cute. haha!

After the 4 hours plus of k-session, we proceeded to amk hub to have our dinner. Pepper Lunch for dinner. Something sizzling hot to satisfy our hunger pangs. i ordered this chicken and beef pepper lunch. It was nice cooking the beansprouts, corns, chicken and beef on the hot plate, as though back to the stone age times...

Practicum is drawing near. It's not teaching assistantship this semester, but school experience. Guess it's gonna' be interesting observing different levels in school and we'll have to do a reflection thereafter, i guess so. This is a good opportunity for us to pick up useful pointers from experienced teachers; their approaches and teaching methodologies. There's so much more to learn...

That's for now.
