13 Dec 2010
Trying very hard to keep this blog alive.
2 Dec (Thu): Snow City CIP with care corner.
4/ 5 Dec (Sat, Sun): SCMS volunteering!
Anyway, it's the school holidays! Some events:
2 Dec (Thu): Snow City CIP with care corner.
Probably the last time this year that I will be going there. :( Went for some ice cream workshop before entering the cold room (the place with artificial snow). It was so so freezing cold (temp was -sth deg C)! Had fun with the kids anyway, though my shoes were wet when we came out afterwards.
4/ 5 Dec (Sat, Sun): SCMS volunteering!
Had to report at like 12 midnight for the briefing and stuff, when our duty only started at 4 plus am. The location I was situated had a great view of the Singapore skyline! :) The runners (some of them) were really friendly and gave me high-fives when they whisked past. :) Left at about 3 pm before reaching home tired.
6 Dec (Mon): CRUISE! :D day 1
A case of bad packing experience (haha probably cos I was very busy for the previous days). We didn't pack our toothbrushes and toothpaste as we thought the cruise would provide them. In the end, we had to go to the ship's store to buy them. All prices on board the ship were in US$ so each brush cost US$3 and toothpaste was US$6 = total US$18 on oral hygiene products. =.=
That aside, living onboard the magnificent Legend of the Seas for 4 nights was a great experience. :D Had lunch at Windjammer Cafe, where food was abundant in supply. They had western, chinese, and even indian food.
Went for muster drill, to unpack and then explore the ship, and it was dinner soon. Our dinner every night was at the Romeo and Juliet restaurant, and we had 2 waiters (Justin frm Peru and Guanghua frm China), who would serve us every night. They were friendly and amiable, and we chatted a lot with them on the first night where they weren't many ppl.
Went to Optix, the teen lounge at night, but it was rather empty...
7 Dec (Tue): cruise day 2
Ship arrived at Port Klang (KL), but we didn't intend to travel far into KL city. We had a late breakfast, which was where we met Sahin, another waiter from Turkey at the Windjammer cafe. LOL we made friends with so many waiters. haha.
We explored the port before lunch, but there wasn't much at the port, so yeah went back to the ship to have late lunch. Shopped around the stores (they have duty free onboard!), then started to prepare for formal night.
Formal night was quite cool, better than starcruises' one where no one bothered to dress up. Our 2 waiters were dressed in a cool gold vest that night too! Dinner was western (as always), and we then viewed the night's performance.
8 Dec (Wed): cruise day 3
Ship anchored off Phuket at around noon, and we had to take tender boats out to Patong Beach. I miss Phuket! It's been a long time since we've been there. yup, so we went on our own to Junceylon for shopping. Bought stuff from Boots (!!), Carrefour, Robinsons, etc. At the end of our shopping trip, we carried our bulk to Ocean Plaza to buy more things, and of course bargained for souvenirs on the way back.
Reached the ship at around 8pm, so it was past dinner time at R&J, so we went for the poolside dinner/ party instead. Watched Twilight Eclipse as a late night movie at the theater.
9 Dec (Thu): cruise day 4
Out at sea. Nothing much except for the activities onboard. Watched Toy story 3 in the lounge, talked/ took pics to Sahin (the waiter), watched Inception in the room, and hung out at Optix.
Dinner was great, partly because of the performance put up by all the restaurant staff. We even took pictures with Justin & Guanghua, and some random waiter for fun. HAHA.
10 Dec (Fri): cruise day 5
Ate breakfast at Windjammer, and met Guanghua there who was doing his shift. Went to take a few pictures, packed up our luggages. Oh yah I forgot to mention that our room attendant, Guoxing, was very nice as to fold towels of different animal shapes every night on our bed. :D
Disembarking was a breeze, no queue, no nothing, and shopped at the cruise center's duty free before arriving in Sg.
I really enjoyed this cruise trip, and apart from the toothbrush/ paste issue, Royal Caribbean is a great way to sail!
Can't wait for Thursday! :))

7 October 2010
Long long time since I last posted.
Jealous of someone receiving her pay-out... *winks* *winks*
It has been a hectic few months, but certainly fulfilling.
Can't wait for the holidays to come soon.

19 March 2010
My enjoyable holidays! (besides the fact that I had to complete so much holiday homework )
Saturday: Class BBQ
Got to know my classmates better :) I really enjoyed myself!
Sunday: Chinatown + IT Show at Suntec :D
I miss Chinatown!! Anyway, we went to a dimsum restaurant for dimsum and then to a dessert place for mango pomelo sago. :D Everytime we visit Chinatown, I enjoy myself very much. Ah I miss Chinatown already. HAHA
After Chinatown, we went to Suntec City for the IT show. We had something in mind to buy before going there so it was easy going through the many stores/ booths before choosing which to purchase. Went to Carrefour, etc before heading home.
Thursday (yesterday): outing with Sioksther!
Haha went to Wheelock, Ion, and Far East. Esther spent the most money -rich girl. :D Too bad Melissa couldn't come or it would have been a gathering of the C2 corner/ wonder warriors. haha anyway we talked about school most of the time, and the laughter came from the funny classmates/ experiences.
Going out later to savour what's left of the holidays. :)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL! :D
School has been relatively okay so far, but I have a feeling that life will be tougher than sec sch life (of course) soon...
Friday: Went to Tanglin Mall with 2 of my OG people before heading to Bishan J8 to meet up with Liwei! I miss Liwei! She was in her cool AJC uniform! Haha. We then headed to pizza hut to have lunch before browsing through some stores, including the huge 'pasar malam' outside J8 where there were stores selling cny goodies. During lunch we talked about our school life, and I found out that their school's math topics taught so far are so much easier than ours! :S
Saturday: CNY eve was spent doing last minute preparation/ clean-up, and I was trying very hard to figure out how to do my math tutorial (so difficult!).. Our uncle (father's side), together with his family, came over to our house to have reunion dinner. Haha the only hilarious (or maybe not) thing was that our dining table was too small to fit all 8 of us so we had to lift up our rice bowls to eat. Went to the temple at 11+pm to pray.
Sunday: First day of CNY + Valentine's! Breakfast was a vegetarian dish with rice. We went to our uncle's (father's side) house for steamboat lunch and yusheng before heading to our aunt's (father's side) house. Met some other people at our aunt's house so we had extra red packets, just like last year. Uncle then came to our house for about 30 min before leaving, and my family went to our babysitter's house to visit I miss the food that my babysitter cooks! :( She gave us red packets that were too much in amount, in my opinion. :S :S Went home after that, and Shirin's friend(s) came over for a while. Dinner and blah blah after that.
i have no idea what else to type, so for more info:

Monday: Today, second day of CNY. Visited first uncle (mum's side) first at like 1045am where we had pineapple tarts, chicken+scallop+abalone+mushroom stew, etc while watching a scary + funny(?!) vampire movie. Left for first aunt's (mum's side) house together with first uncle at 1230pm where we had yusheng and lunch. Haha my mum has 9 siblings (10 children in total), but only 6 (excl mum) are married so i look forward to the day when another uncle gets married! :) HAHA kidding. My little baby cousins are sooo cute! Left at around 345pm and my family went to sembawang shopping centre. Most shops weren't open, but stores like daiso and giant were open... Went home after that for dinner.

15 Jan 2010
First post in the year 2010.
After much consideration and discussion, I have finally submitted my jae form online today at precisely 9.56am. Not much comments on my choices though because I will accept whatever school moe posts me to :/
Anyway after submitting the jae form, I went out with my mum (who is on leave today) to shop at the Orchard area. We went to Hermès first, along Orchard road, first to send my parents' watches for repair (or sth like that). We then went to 313 @ somerset, Orchard Central and The Centrepoint to shop, where most things were bought at Robinsons (actually no clothes but mostly toiletries and cooking utensils bought instead). In the end, we had to lug a huge claypot back home :S At Robinsons, we met my cousin, who is working there temporarily. We meet her almost everytime we shop at Robinsons so yeah, chatted a while before heading to Wheelock place (Borders!) and then to Hermès to collect the watches.
Then headed home in bus 105. I will certainly miss that route home from cgs...
I want to say that I enjoy having Thursday lunches with Shirin! :D
AH I LOVE YOU DEAR SISTER. <3
