Well~ I shall be their command centre for the coming 3 weeks… Best of luck lah~
Pay a visit to the ITP company in the afternoon for lunch. It’s been nearly a month, they haven see us. All comments are like “You are so dark!”. Hahaha~ Anyway, haf lunch with them at dover. Catch up wif them on the way. Fun~
We meet up with my click of frends at laily’s house. Steam boat man… The veri veri last farewell gathering. Sad ah~ People who attended: Laily, Serene, Suqin, Geargina, Me, Lester and Jackey.
Steamboat is pretty much cozy. You really gotta chat and eat at the same time. Most of all, you can stick your butt to the place as long as you wan. Kinda eat and eat and eat throughout, look through all those photos from our backpack trip and tell our side of stories. Haha~ Desert is 2 watermelons (one red , one yellow), cans and cans of syrup fruits. Yum! Geargina participated in the Singapore Idol… Best of luck to ya~
Lester’s mum send us back home. Thank you for the ride…
Go back home, something wrong with my telephone line, always in the engaging tone. Can’t go online…
Now is 3am in the morning. Haiz… Have been fixing the modem thingy till late afternoon until kenny jio me out. Called the service hotline and their operating hours is from monday to friday. Haiz… Try my luck again on monday.
Went out with our mr kenny hong in the late evening. Really long time no see. Someone botak lor. Met up at Orchard as usual for some shopping. Din manage to get anything but i did eye some spagetti strips in far east plaza. Hahaha~
Dinner at Scotts Ajisen Ramen Restaurant. Delicious and fulling. Blurp~ Followed by endless shopping towards the heeran side. I lost 1 of the Jackie Cheung’s canto disk in year 1. Found it in HMV. But it cost 10 bucks more than what i’ve originally purchase. Big hole in my pocket. Din buy lah~ See the other cd outlets (CD-RAMA, Sembawang) got anot.
Bong ganna psyco to come and meet us at Centre Point after her work. Continue chatting till like 11 plus. Proceed to Somerset MRT station, there is an annoucment flashing “Serivce Disruption from Newton to Toa Payoh towards Jurong direction”. So kenny ended up taking bus back home. Today is not his day. Ha~
Yesterday is a farewell party for the ns men… Hmm… Some of them cant make it, well~ Anyway, there is another make up for the others.
Lunch at Breeks restaurant, Marina Square. I dun fancy the food there. Perhaps, i prefer the buffet style. Heez~ Watch the movie, The Day AFter Tomorrow, at GV Marina. It was hot and stuffy until i need to take off my jacket.
Go ga jiao Serene at the book fair. Empty and quiet. Sales is like up and down. Dinner at Suntec food court. This is the dunno how many time i ordered the food from the same store ever since this food court is opened. Haha~
Chill out again at Pacific Cafe, Citilink. Ah bong always get so excited whenever she reaches the Suntec and Citilink compound. Haha~ Anyway, got the photos burned from Qin’s laptop. Finally gotta see our trip photos. I will post them asap. And my journal… Haha~ Still haven write. Hmm~ Still thinking how to organise them.
Arghh~ Have been fixing my boardband thingy till late nite. Sorry to trouble Lester. Pai seh sial… Still in the process fo fixing my stuff…
Ganna woke up by my younger sister ealry at 10am. Yawn~ Not enuff sleep leh… She needs me to help her to check the road directory to her part-time work place. Ganasai lor… Din give me enuff details, even the building name is wrong. Fuck up… Spend at least 1 hour to mak sure i’m right. Some more meet her up at jurong, purposely bring her to her work place.
So my shopping trip was drag to as late as 4pm. The PC fair is crowded by then. Wonder dont they need to work. So many ppl… And the passageway is really narrow. Sometimes you gotta force your way out when there is a crowd. Sian~ Got my boardband thingy settled. Bought myself 200 pieces of samsung cdr. Should be enuff, but i dun think i get the best bargain. Spotted a frend who i know 4 years ago. We used to work together somehow. I think we get too excited and we are like screaming and shouting and hitting each other. Hahaha~ Miss her so much…
With a handful of stuff from the PC fair, i carry on my shopping at the Metro fair again. I counted today: there are 20 female fitting rooms while there are onli pathetically 4 male changing room. Some more, at a corner of the female section, they provide a row of mirrors. Haha~ And i got myself the same tee i bought yesterday (this time round in white color), 2 beach pants.
Heez~ For those who long to see me after my trip, i took photos of myself… I’m tan… Hahaha~
This is my second day in Singapore…
Din really catch much sleep actually. Woke up at 8 plus in the morning, get myself prepared to meet ah bong, her sister and adam for little sight-seeing. Erm~ Adam loves indian’s culture. So we went to little india. Had our lunch there. The food is marvelous lor… Walk around, went to the temple to take a look. Everywhere is crowd. Adam seems veri enthu. Cool and cute guy.
Last stop is Sentosa. Feel quite bad because we couldn’t afford to pay the entrance fees for those attractions inside for 4 of us. If we gotta add them all up, it shall cost quite a bit. So we took the monorail around the island and went to the central beach. This is the first time i feel as though i’m a sentosa idiot. I’m like totally not familiar with the environment. Adam seems to like beaches a lot. He went strolling and soaking his feet in the water.
We part at Outram MRT station. They head towards the Kranji station to woodlands checkpoint. They are catching the coaches back to KL. While ah bong and me went straight to expo to te foodfair.
Din noe there are other fairs going on. Example: lifestyle fair, motherhood fair and my beloved metro fair. Bought myself a pair of b.u.m. jeans shorts and a black sporty tee. Erm… You cant believe this, but there are altogether 40 cashiers altogether. But i think i din really have enuff shopping today. Shall go again tomorrow…
Later ga jiao Lester at the food fair. Come on… It is so much crowded over at the food fair than any others. Endless eating at the food fair with bong. Bumped into Ya Zhen, Alvin and Jie Lin over at the food fair. Catch up a little wif Lester at the ‘back alley’ of the stalls.
Last stop we visited the suntec’s book fair. So much quieter… Our itp company have 2 booths over there selling their products. So keng a lot wif boss, ex-colleagues and serene. Boss even offer to send us back home. Another round of endless chatting.
Halo all my pals… I’M BACK…
I shall be updating watever i can in the next 48 hours… In the mean time, i need to catch some sleep.
Halo ppl out there!!! We are currently at the capital of malaysia – kuala lumpur…
This has been our fourth day of the trip. Previously we haf been in melaka for 2 days. The weather is just damn hot, nothing but hot. We consume dunno how many bottles of water, eat and eat and eat.
We stay at this inn called sunny inn at melaka. The host is pretty friendly. Live there is pretty much like back to primitive. Everything reduce to minimum… The rooms we haf are non-airconditioned. Still alright wif it. A new experience i guess. Endless visiting to the historical places in melaka. Get help from the locals throughout. We are heng lor…
And yesterday, we just arrived kl. Thanks to bong’s sister and her friend – Zu Da. With there great help for accomodations and car rides, we save quite a number of amount. And oso, manage to visit those less accessible places in kl. Stay up 1 nite at Zu Da’s house. Really really appreciate it.
As for today… Went to KTV in the morning till like early afternoon. Then to the cosmo’s theme park within the Times Building. Play ‘N’ times of roller coaster. Fun… We even bought the photos that they captured while we are in the roller coaster. We chose the key chains one… Show u guys when i’m back…
Tat’s all for today… Chan, our command centre, shall keep u update for the latest updates…
Lester, Jacky, Qin, Laily and me went for the nite supper yesterday. Thank you Lester for the ride… (^.^)
Before this supper, we have been fighting for the front passenger seat. Kinda like there is more personal space in front. And hahaha~ I have 2 chances in the front seat. Hurray~
The moment the clock strikes 12, we had our shoutout to Terry in the car. HAPPY BIRTHDAY yor~ We pulled over at Mount Faber first. Nice scenary, a lot of stars… But we just have little little things flying around in the surrounding. So we decided to head straight to Wen Tong Ji which operates through the nite for chicken rice. Yum yum… By then, the first xiao qiang appears in Lester car. The next stop, we went to Geylang’s for tou hui (beancurd). Quite a big portion share.
The weather is damn so hot and sticky. Onli a short walking journey, everyone is persipiring. I guess all enjoy the air-conditioned car ride the most. Then, that second xiao qiang appeared in the car.
Lastly, we paid a visit to Jacky’s secondary school (Chestnut Drive). The school is pretty deep into the bungalow houses. By then, it’s alreadi 4am and we decided to head back to our home.
Hai… Gotta bid goodbye to all my pals… I’m leaving tml. See you ppl 3 weeks later. And if by luck, we are able to come across any cyber cafe, we will update our blog again. Bye bye…
P.S.: Wait for us to be back, we shall have another gathering for those NS men. Take care. Miss ya~ (T.T)
Celebrated Terry’s advance birthday on the 8th… Din really expect so many ppl to be there. But of coz, the more ppl there is, the merrier it will be. And this is definitely true… Hope everyone has an eventful nite. And thanks to Weekian for the home ride. Thank you veri much…
Yesterday is a good rest indeed. Wake up at 4 plus in the noon, body aching and tired. Guess i sleep too much. Head down to IMM to buy some of my necessity for the tour. And i got myself a medicated sticky pad to stick on my chest – for easy breathing. Kinda have my breathing problem worsen. The moment i lay straight on my back, i’ll get my nose blocked.
But seems like those sticky pad doesnt really work much for me either. Just the scent of lavender (for purpose of relaxation) and the cooling pad tat kinda stay cool when sticked on.
Blogger has changed it’s login page and the internal features. Still exploring though… But nice… (^.^)
