SNAPSHOTS
(some photos for thought)

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

i'm really good at maintaining my posture, not even batting an eyelid. lf you're observant enough, you will come to realize only sok changes her facial expression each time. Me and wk simply remain still in these four shots. Editing photos is fun; i actually came up with a theme for it after that: "Spot The Difference". (*laughs*)


i love the design of my bag. The frappe drink and my star bag blend well in this photo.


Just some recent photos of mine to share here. Shall keep you guys updated a lil of how i've been doing...New semester has started, it's back to school life. And now is the third week of semester two. i'm rather fortunate this sem for having a three-day week. However, hell loads of reports, assignments and presentations are awaiting me and sadly to say, i have a tough module this time round. i guess i should take this opportunity to study harder than previous semester since i'm given two days' off from school.

Still, i always believe in balancing my life; not only study hard, but play hard as well:) That's my motto! My weekends are still as happening as before and i'm glad that i always have my lovely clique as c0mpanions during weekends.

And oya, i'm going to attend my friends' drama play at Alliance Francaise de Singapore this coming saturday! A series of drama plays put up by Ngee Ann Polytechnic Stage Art Group. Excited and looking forward to it. As i start to reminisce back those drama days... ...

i'm contented


i'm glad that most of my weekends are fulfilling ones, with companions of my close friends. Usually, we would try to take some time off to hang out together with one another weekly, if not, perhaps twice a week. As time goes by, it gets harder to find a place where we can explore and search for new novelty and fun...that's b'cause we have been to most places and have tried out many different areas of entertainment and food till we felt that singapore is too small for us to explore. (*laughs*) But still, we would crack our brain to think of places that we've gave it a miss earlier. And guess where we went last weekend?!? =>STEAMBOAT @ BUGIS!<= There's simply a lot of steamboat stalls there for you to choose from. After a short discussion with weikiat, both of us came to a consensus. ln the end, we chose 天天火锅 over the rest of the steamboat stalls. Why so? That's b'cause they have this two-in-one built in steamboat where we can not only steam, but grill our food as well. Most of the others only allow you to steam your food. Grilling is more fun!:)

i had loads of fun with them last weekend. Below are some photos to browse through. i edited with some special effect. i get bored easily, so i was playing around with my powerpoint and coincidentally chanced upon this effect! so coOl...

i love the otahs. Sometimes as we grill, we forgotten to flip over the otah every few minutes, thus, one or two was burnt on the other side. But still, i think otah is one of the best food there apart from our grilled fish and fried mantous. A pity they don't have crabs there. i wanna eat crabs! There aren't a vast variety of food there...no desserts served after meal as well...lnitially our plan was to visit kushinbo, however, it wasn't feasible due to our different schedules, be it at work, at school, or in army. Well, most importantly is the meet-up. i'm just contented as long as i get to meet up with them.

Amidst all our laughters, talks as we were eating our steamboat dinner, we suddenly came up with an idea of filming a video of us in that place. we did so.

That's the final piece of our video. Shall see what the "panel of judges" has to say about the food quality there, and not just that, they're commenting on the services as well...

(This uploading really took me quite some while. Alright, it's finally done!)

The BEST way to get to school is to DRIVE!


Finally for today, i managed to take a friend's ride to school. Always, the morning traffic alone makes it inconvenient for us to travel to school, especially when you imagine squeezing yourself with working adults and students on the train and bus and you will easily lose balance when the bus make a sharp turn or sudden brake. Well, it's much more comfy to drive to school for you have the whole spacious seat to yourself and you get to enjoy aircon and music in your own car! (Better air ventilation, *laughs*) Except for the traffic jam over at kje this morning, but still, deb and me managed to arrive well before lesson starts at 8.30am:) Yeah! And i got the ride from Deb this morning:)

A pity i don't have a family car at home, if not i would plead with dad to let me drive to school everyday! That'll be so GREAT! i guess i would go rent a car soon...hopefully! I have an urge to drive to school...less time consuming and will save on transportation costs as well.


This was taken when she's driving me to school this morning. But not to worry, she's looking at my camera phone only when the traffic light turns red. Definitely not driving and looking at the same time. we've gotten our licence, so we know the danger and consequences of reckless driving, haha...Shall be SAFE DRIVERS!:)

i can't wait to lay my hands on the steering wheel once again...

The COUNTDOWN to 2010

i had countdown with my jc friends on new year's eve itself. Supposed to upload this post a couple of days ago but i was waiting for xinying's photos on facebook. Usually i had countdown together with my family at home, but this year's one was different. i went countdown with some friends and guess where did we go?!? lnitially we wanna go ecp to taunt for the night and in the end, we set our mind on CHANGI AIRPORT for the countdown! It was a funny one 'cause most people would hang out around vivo city or marina bay to see the fireworks during the countdown. As for changi airport, you can only imagine the fireworks (laughs). Or perhaps i should say, see aeroplanes during the countdown. What an interesting one...We spent so much time in finding the viewing mall, hoping we will get to see aeroplanes departing off from changi airport, unfortunately, we walked from terminal 3 to 2 to 1 and didn't manage to find till the place to settle down before the clock strikes twelve. When the minute hand reached twelve exactly, we were still searching for the place and as we walked, we heard the sound system wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our countdown ended up to be a funny and weird one!

Before the countdown, we had sushi dinner buffet at tanjong pagar! Here are some photos that we took @ sakae sushi restaurant:) OMG! haven't seen them for such a long time!

jiemin and wk have huge eyes!

yummy tasty... (Don't you think so, shimin?)

Shimin appeared so small whereas me and seokhwee appeared so big! Who's the photographer huh? haha...But nice angle shot:)

Last of all, ending this post with a nice photo taken in this sort-of-cave at changi airport terminal three. A pity shimin couldn't join us for the countdown and taunt...

i shall sign off from here...

School starting next week....

it seems like a mini minds cafe though...

Sometimes you don't have to go minds cafe or decoder's cafe for boardgames with your friends. You can easily have one at your own comfortable home! haha. Guess what, me and my flowers clique just did that yesterday. We planned for this outing quite some time ago, and soon it was the arrival of the day. Venue was at my house and they brought along different boardgames. With the intial intention to have boardgames and playstation games for us to spend our day with, we managed to stick to this plan without fail. cheerios:) it was fun. We started off with playstation games like bishi bashi, dance dance revolutions and king of fighters. Bishi bashi is interesting because you can involve up to maximum 8 players each time. The more the merrier...it's like competing with one another during each round and there's a lot of fun in it. i taught them some of the tactics in it, haha... ling is good at king of fighters! Her chosen character, Jhun defeated our characters during the few rounds. You can really fight man! Everyone has their strength in different games. Vivian and Shuwen are better at dancing game:)

Just 'gotten the photos from vivian at facebook and i'm gonna upload them here. she's sooo efficient!

Halfway through the games, our attentions were diverted to this blue wall background in my room. Decided to take photos with vivian's digital camera. Love the background behind us. The photos taken are very clear. nice complexion too...

And so, we had a few different poses. A pity carrie couldn't join us for the day, if not we would have a complete 6 flowers pose!

With the lovely cute doggie:D

Some of the games played at my house...

Evening time, we ordered pizza hut delivery for dinner. There's this CHRISTMAS STARLIGHT FEAST which is quite a worth deal. Also, we added on side dishes like spicy drumlets and garlic bread. Very filling dinner indeed...

By the way, earlier on i went youtube to search for this single ladies song by the lovely chipettes in season two of Alvin and the chipmunks movie. Love the song when i first heard it in the movie that i've watched the day before. So i 'gonna upload this video here!

i'm the single ladies...

Season two of Alvin and the chipmunks is back again during this festive season. This time round, the movie sequel introduces the chipmunks female counterparts, the chipettes. You ought not to miss this show! Be it the chipmunks or chipettes, they're equally lovely! i jus feel like cuddling one back home (laughs)...

SPLASH SPLASH

Has been ages ever since i last swam. i tink i barely swim more than 5 times in a year. Yesterday i went swimming with deborah n ruiping at Civic Service Club. We'll a bit pissed off when we reached there about morning 10plus 'cause the pool was closed when it's supposed to be opened given the stated operating hours there. We ended up waiting for one hour plus before the swimming pool was opened. lt was then twelve noon and we ended up sacrificing our American pool due to insufficient time. Initially we planned to have american pool after our swim and after which head down to bugis for evening steamboat. Perfect plan. but in the end, we only managed to have the swim and steamboat.

Well, not that bad...i had loads of fun with them in the pool yesterday. CSC is a great swimming place. Love the quietness of the environment there. Kind of bringing one closer to the nature for the swimming pool is surrounded by lots of trees.

Here's a picture of me and deb in the pool. Having a whale of time...

we're trying to capture some shots in the pool. ruiping was the photographer. You can see in this above shot where i was jumping right behind deb. This movement was really tiring...Had to use my strength and push myself off deb's shoulder. And also not forgetting to show our big white darlie teeth to the cam. Indeed tiring for both parties but we like the final turnout of this photo. nice


A nice view of CSC's swimming pool!

(More photos are now up on my facebook so i shan't upload all of them here.)

lt was refreshing having bathed after the swim and we headed down to bugis for steamboat right after that. Deb recommended us this F & J Cafeteria, a steamboat place along beach road. i have never been there before and it's only then did i realise that there's another part to it in bugis. Usually i would have overlooked that stretch of road with yummy delicacies. And now i know, there's this Ah Chew's dessert, Ramen steamboat and many more. Shall go try the desserts there one day.

STEAM, COOK AND EAT IT HOT!


Watermelon competition?!?!

Of course not! Just having some fruits for better digestion after a filling steamboat...

The later part of the day was more on our massive phototakings in this INTERCONTINENTIAL place that we went in to explore. Oh my goodness, it is such a grand place and i do feel that we're in some kind of royal empire, haha. Luxurious life in there... (though not ours) well, at least we have been there once...

And also not forgetting to thank the ahas for getting me this wireless mouse as my birthday present. loves♥

The Ahas has always been one of my cliques ever since secondary school. we have known each other near to 5 years. This clique name of ours came unknowingly, but unique. Enjoy their company during each and every aha's outing. Though we didn't really get to meet up that often compared to those days back in secondary school, still, we would try to meet up during the holidays and on special occasion such as individual's birthday. A pity dororin couldn't join us for steamboat 'cause she was busy. i believe there will still be chance where we will get to come out together as a whole clique.

Speculation

i don't understand why on earth would people resort to stealing. What's the rationale behind it? The sense of satisfaction that you're looking for, simply for novelty and excitement? Wouldn't one possibly have that sense of guilt if he/she has committed it? i surmise that one ought to have the maturity to be able to think and differentiate between the right and wrong at this age. lf you're really the one who is doing this, please stop. i would advise you. i wouldn't want to make any accusations right at this moment for i do not have any evidence. And it is not right for me to point fingers at anyone now...But somehow, it's causing our suspicion. if it's you, own up, and we shall let bygones be bygones...
To err is human, to forgive; divine.
