Jurong Point

Have been gg to Jurong Point so frequently these few days! Went like 3 times over the week....







Went to Bird Park last week with my cousins! =) We met up at Jurong Point for lunch.. Settled down @ Yaki Yaki Bo Restaurant for lunch... Our 1st visit there.... nice ambience... 1st time I sit in front of teppanyaki table!





LOL.. Anyway, its $11.90++ for their Terikayi Chicken Set! Includes Miso Soup, Mushrooms, Bread, Teriyaki Chicken, Garlic Rice... Pretty worth it! =) Cousin treated us though. Haha... Thanks Couzzie. =)








Took bus 194 to the Bird Park! =)
Went there last year. Haha... Oh no... I am going Bird Park again! LOL....



Walked around Bird Park... The new exhibit African theme aviary was simply crap. They had a few African statues and exhibits addons outside the original aviary. And it seems the birds have all flown off. Not many birds lor....







The Lory Exhibit is a must-see in bird park though... You can feed the lories, as well as take beautiful pictures of the nice birds. I just enjoyed it when I am there. I dunno why. LOL... I love colours I guess? The birds are so colourful lor. Regretted that I didnt feed the birds! Haha.. And I am saying legalized ones in the Bird Park!





Anyways, the aim was to bring my australian cousin to visit around. But it seems she already knows a lot about birds... Its like a wrong place to bring her to. LOL... So many australian birds.... She has seen lots of it in the wild. Starting from Australian penguins, lories, parrots, ostriches...

If you havent been the bird park for the past 10 years, its good to visit. =)





We then went to Square 2 @ Novena for dinner! Settled down @ Pasta De Waraku. My 2nd time to this restaurant! =)





Had a nice caborana there...and a nice ice cream.... =) We waited quite long for the ice cream though... =X



Anyway, had a nice day meeting out with my cousins and all.... Its our 1st outing out together without our parents? LOL... My cousin is aiming for Night Safari! I wish to go there soon.. LOL... Havent been there since 1994 (The year Night Safari opened)... Been there once when i was in pri 2.








Pardon me for the lack of updates recently. School's started and I am simply in a daze again. I dunno why it happens. Holidays time I hope the term starts.... Now i hope for the holidays to come. Humans can really be sick at times I guess.



I really hope everything go wells for project this sem. New group mates. New working pattern. I hope I can adapt to their style soon....

Went with Roger, Weiqi, Shihui, Mabia, Shiting and all to Jurong Point to watch Red Cliff 2. Because I have never read the books I find it quite interesting to watch. For Roger and his friend they say the story is distorted and it sucks.. I dunno but I tink its a nice movie.. Just that I like the 1st part better! LOL... Its quite worth it for a $8.. 2.5 hours worh! =)

Went home after tat...managed to catch the last 180 home. =)



Timothy back in Singapore... Met up together with Shaun, Kenneth, Junda and Weizhong.... Dine @ Pasta De waraku @ Heerens... y the same restaurant again.... OMG! Had pasta there... Oso went Taka to buy Venezia ice cream... yummy... shaun how sucks...haha... no la.... he eat so slow... OMG.... LOL.... Anyway, bought a TOMICA bus model.... battery operated bus... Cool... for $29.95.... =) Its about 15 cm by 7 cm.

Went out today with parents to eat the same thing we ate last sunday @ JURONG POINT!!!!!!... haha..amazing... and i ordered the same dish!



Searching for a new laptop... Finally bought a SONY VAIO! Liked the laptop design with its trendy colours! I bought a RED one! LOL.... Cool rite.... For $2226! =) 4GB ram.... with connecting speakers and Microsoft Student Version ... Not tat cheap but anyway my dad says its going to be the last lappy hes gg to buy for me le....

Have been visiting supermarkets quite frequently to get cheap abalone deal and promotions! LOL.... Looks like we've finished doing shopping for this cny =) From Parkway Parade to Causeway Point.... LOL...

Sian.... Thankfully I have been spending my parents money these few days.... If not i will be broke by now. LOL.... I wonder how i gg to survive for the rest of the year ... May holidays have to find a job liao....

Dun feel like blogging...

I seriously dun feel like blogging today!

Am very tired. I dunno why. I just felt so.

Have pictures and a nice story to write on Bird Park last Sunday but I dun feel like doing it.

I dunno why. Roger chants it out. I appeared relaxed. But dunno when you are alone, you feel it.

It is because I have seen it too much in army or what. I just appeared like nothing happened.

I dunno what is happening this sem. Everything seems to change.

The lectures seem to be a drag. I feel being dragged to school.... Waiting for lectures to end. And trying to F off as soon as lecture's up.


Project mates getting a big swap. I hope it'll be as good as before. Hope things turn out good.

Just the fear that we cant find a group for one project. I dunno if we are being over anxious about not abling to form a group today or wad. Hope we can find the extra 1 tml....

A bad year to start with is all I can say.

Good Bye SDL9552D

Sad leh. Today is the last day of my family car, SDL 9552 D. The first family car I ever drove. And the first car that was being tortured by me! Haha.. Byebye le. So sad. No more parallel parking for a while le. Haha... Cos i dun wan crash the new car or bua it with other cars. LOL...

Didnt complete my parallel parking on friday! Haha.... As you know when I started parking parallel. Everyone looks on. Feared drivers will attempt to move their vehicles ASAP! Haha... Friday went out to Geylang with Pengyong and Weida for some dim sum dinner.... I am so lovin' dim sum! =)

Finally found a parking lot. So happy! But then behind got car. And its a one lane street. So you know what happen. I blocked the road for 10 mins! Haha.... Without parking! LOL.... I tried to reverse... CMI!!!! OMG! Then the car owner behind was nearby and reverse the car backwards so I have more space to park. OMG!

And then my car is 1/4 in the lot! And OMG! I gave up. Then Pengyong took over and parked in for me! LOL.... And you know what! He hasnt droven an AUTO car before and need ask weida what P, D & R is. OMG! I didnt know that until he finished parking! No wonder quite fierce when he park. He chiong to the front den chiong to the back.
Cos he never step his brakes that hard! LOL.... I looked terrified then.

By then people were honking at us! LOL.... 3 - 4 cars stranded behind us. & 2 Banglas looking at us. I think the lorry in front is their company de. LOL...
Anyways, we managed to park the car 7/8 in to the lot and left. Haha... Better den my usual 3/4 to 4/5.

Haha... Anyways, thanks Peng. If not ytd no dinner for us @ Geylang le.





We went to Wen Dao Shi for dinner! Ordered Century Egg Pork Porridge for dinner! Peng liked it a lot... He was telling me way before hand he wanted to eat that! Haha... Ended up we 3 all ordered the same dish! Haha.. cos we oso liked it. Haha.... ordered some other dim sum to eat. Nice dim sum seriously and its 24 hours! =) Thumbs up man! Costed like $36 for 3 of us. We ordered quite a lot you see. Haha... Pretty worth it. Next time we shall "Bus" there. Haha....



Yesterday went to Sheng Siong today with mum @ Ten Mile Junction. Bought a lot of groceries! Haha.... $137! & 2 of us we bought so much. As a wise shopper tip, never use $1 to push a trolley. You end up filling the whole trolley with groceries. Take a basket so that you will stop when you find it's too heavy! LOL... Ended up we carried so much of things home our hands almost broke. =X Imagine I carried 2 cartons of drinks and a 2L milk with other dairy frozen products like Yougurt. While my mum carried vegetables....canned food.... and all.... I think the weight is about 15 kg per person? & Mind you ... We didnt buy abalone or wad. Vegetables...canned food.... lol....


Went to Parkway Parade in the afternoon. Took 966 there! Straight bus via Expressway! Haha.... 1 hour to reach there though, including waiting time.

Went to develop photos for the Europe Trip. As usual, my mum and I liked hardcopies and not the digital format unlike my dad and 2 bros preferred. Developed 380 4R photos.. @ 20 cents! =) Elsewhere they cost about 30 cents each. Harvey Norman does have 19 cents promotion once in a while but we couldnt wait any longer for the promotion to come.

NETS it! Yeah... the way to do it. Used NETS a lot today! Didnt use that much of NETS until recently. haha.... they were having this promotion at Parkway Parade where u can go for a lucky spin if you have a NETS receipt from anywhere in Singapore. =)

Had 3 slips and participated. Seriously scammed! The queue was pretty long. Queued like 20 mins? Every 10 mins you have somebody winning $10 voucher or something. The rest is "Thank You for your participation" Sucks... 3/3 I didnt even win a small gift! Zzz....

Anyway, Cold Storage having this New Moon Abalone promotion.
Buy 3 cans @ $39.80 for the 1st can and 2nd can/3rd can at $36 (Average $37.27 per can) and you can get a free carton of orange juice. LOL... For yesterday and today only the promotion. Went to Parkway to buy it. The cashier doesnt even know there's this promotion. OMG!


Oh yah... I went to the Marine Parade Hawker centre beside Parkway Parade for dinner! As you know I am broke. Haha.... Went to eat the famous char kway teow. I liked this char kway teow a lot. Can be compared to the kway chap at lorong 8 toa payoh! LOL... One of my favourite food.... LOL... Elsewhere these days you cant find hawkers who fry such nice char kway teow. 10 min queue though. Nice... a bit wet but nice... =) Simply loved the food overall....


Anyway, its kind of a nice day out. Do you know why!! Its a whole day out doing family tasks n going out with family. So I only spent $1.50 today! Haha... for the bubble tea i drink at Marine Parade. The rest are free and provided for and i can still spend although i am a $13 asset balance left person! Haha....

I hope I wun be spending a lot today as I am going to the Bird Park with my cousins later on. =X

First day back in school

It's my first day back in school today! Haha... Saw the guys and the girls back in school!

First lecture. A big scare. 12pm - 630pm. Lucky the lecturer say there is a mistake in the timetable. Lesson ends at 530pm! Hurray....

LOL... Had a 1 hr break in between. Funny thing is, the 1 hour break ended so fast like a 15 min break. Urmz... I hope this sem will be a good one. Hope the assignments wont freak me out! Next week I shall know the outcome! Haha...

Would like to ask you all a big question. What would you do if you have the last $1000 in your hands? For me, surprisingly I went to buy Aussie Dollars! LOL... Went to buy the Aussie Dollars on Sunday.



I only realised I squandered my last $1050 (AUD $1000) when I check my account balance and realise I have $13 left in my account!!! OMG! I have Singapore $13 now. OMG!!!!

What am I gonna to do!!!! Thankfully dad's giving me an allowance of $90 per week from this year. Up $10 from $80 per week. But then...

Do you think I can survive on the balance $13. I wonder... Means no overspending and whatever nonsense liao.

Seriously I am doomed. What if the Aussie Dollar drops! I am going to die. I will have to hold this spare money until it goes back to the original value.

This is how the money has been going these few days. So far so good.

AUD $1000 = SIN $1050 (Changed with money changer on Sunday) (04/01/09)
Actual rate on that day was AUD $1000 = SIN $1037

Sunday: AUD $1000 = SIN $1037
Monday: AUD $1000 = SIN $1045
Tuesday: AUD $1000 = SIN $1057
Wednesday: AUD $1000 = SIN $1061
Thursday: AUD $1000 = SIN $1050



Currently the going is good. The Aussie Dollar is going up. Or rather our money is dropping. Intending to sell it when it reaches AUD$1000 = SIN $1300. =) Willing to exchange it back at $1200 though. =) Except for today. Oh no.


Anyways, went out with Weida yesterday! We went to Miramar Hotel for our $12.80++ $16.85 nett) buffet for dim sum lunch. Dim sum lunch as usual up to standard.

Nice mango pudding and dim sum. I seriously liked the mango pudding a lot! I always take 3 to eat! LOL.. My best record was 7 though. I wonder how I eat it back then.

Yesterday was quite lousy. Didnt eat much dim sum too. Must be getting too old liao.

Their century porridge up to standard. Char Siew Bao was nice. =) The rest were OK and good to go at an affordable price. You can eat all you want. =)

It's at Havelock Road. Good thing is they offer free water and not like some that don't. =) PLUS PLUS!

3 types of dessert, Gui Ling Gao and Papaya Sago Dessert.
Shall visit it in 6 mths to a year's time? Haha....

Ambience wise good. Cos its a weekday and they have so many tables. Pretty quiet and spacious seats. Weekend wise not rowdy although a lot of people visit and you may have to book in advance.

We went to watch Bedtime Stories after that. Quite a funny show. Laughed throughout. Had an entertaining 1.5 hours. Pretty worth it. Funny most of the time! =) Give it 8 stars out of 10. =)

Ciao Ciao.

對你愛不完 by 郭富城

My first post of 2009! LOL... Wad should I say? Financial crisis year. Should be a bad year ahead! LOL...

And surprisingly, I dunno how that happened, I have been visiting food courts and hawker centres since the start of this year! I wonder why myself too! I think I havent gone into a restaurant with friends yet since 2008! Haha... I went out so many times liao. But no outing go restaurant de. Haha...

I plan to spend only $3800 this year. Seems like it will be a tough year to spend money. Haha... Less than $80 a week. Drafted out an expenditure pattern graph and it looks real funny. My birthday month I spent the most. January, February, November and December I spent lesser. Other months higher. Last year I spent $200 per week. I wonder how I squandered my money in army! LOL...

Have been so busy going out these few days! LOL... Watching a lot of movies recently to catch up with what I had been missing.
BOLT
Nice and cute cartoon show with wonderful animation. Entertaining enough! Quite funny at one point to another. I give it a 8 stars out of 10.

IP MAN
Nice action packed show. Its worth watching. Its about a man named ip man, who is good in chinese kungfu. Its his story from pre war to World War II. Its a real life story about him and he later moved to Hong Kong after WWII and had many disciples, including world famous Bruce Lee. Many funny scenes. Thriller packed during fighting. Turns out to be a Hong Kong movie. So the plot moves quite fast. Definitely worth watching. Give it 8 stars out of 10.

AUSTRALIA
Definitely worth watching if you are bored and have nothing to do at home. The show is 165 minutes! Haha... Has some meaning. Its about the aboriginals of Australia in the early 1900s up to WWII. Shows all those biasness the whites had against aboriginals of that time. Quite meaningful to watch. Can be quite boring at times I find it. Movie seems quite slow moving. Give it 6 stars out of 10.

YES MAN
Watched it yesterday night! If you are bored and really need something to entertain you, this movie is definitely the choice. It is funny throughout. Its about a guy who is divorced and leads a sad life for a couple of years before being brought to a seminar where he turns his life around and says YES TO EVERYTHING. Manipulated at times, this stupid guy ends up learning that there is a limit to saying YES. Give it 9 stars out of 10. Definitely the best movie watched for the year 2009. =)


Food wise, I have been visiting many hawker centres as you know. Went to Chomp Chomp for dinner quite a while ago. Ate Stingray, wanton mee and satay ....

Also went to Changi Village Hawker Centre for the same food. LOL... I am so lovin' stingray and satay. =) Really hope to eat them again. Recently I am having craving for lots of Singaporean foods! Like Laksa, Char Kway Teow, Chicken Rice, Carrot Cake, Fishball Noodles.... Yummy.... =)








Oh ya.. Had a free ferris wheel ride ticket for 7 at Downtown East ... So went with Zen and Tsian to take... =) We were there anyway to watch Australia mah... Now Downtown East has a shopping centre with a cinema already! & Many Many parking lots with a indoor ferris wheel... LOL... Quite funny for 3 teenagers to go take yeah? Haha... Zen correct me and say we are adults liao... urm... i stop at teenage year liao...haha.... Still got 4 tickets, who wans? Anyway, the ride is $6.50 is for 2 rounds. Doubt we will take if we have to pay! LOL...

My dear SDL9552D.... Friday last day liao.... Sad leh.... I havent mastered my parking skills leh.... OMG! Cant go to places with parallel parking liao... sure crash... lol.... everyone looks when i park parallel okay! LOL....


School's starting and SIM has decided not to collect any payment from me this time round. I wonder why?

2-0-0-8

2008 was a year of transformation. From military life back to civillian life? From office politics, backstabbing here and there like Little Nyonya (Haha....) and there back to school life again as a student and having to do your part as a project group member?

Frankly speaking, I had a floating period, and didnt do as well. Hopefully I can leave this stage and move on for the next semester. School's coming on 7 Jan. Hope I can be hardworking and diligent. =)

Enjoyed life back as a student.=) and also enjoyed the Europe Trip. as well as driving out cos i got my driving licence, though its only Class 3A. LOL...

3 Wishes for this upcoming new year.
- Achieve all DIs for my modules
- Win Toto (Minimum $1 million)
- Save up enough money to go overseas with friends on a holiday getaway

Idiot Weida... Pengyong, me and him doing this new year wishes list that day at Macdonalds and he stroke off my 2nd. Bloody idiot! LOL.... He say its impossible. Anyway, if the 2nd wish comes true, I guess it fulfills a lot of wishes right? LOL...

Without further delay, I wish all my friends and blog readers a Happy 2009 & Fulfilling Year Ahead!
