I&O week

This week's really damn damn busy sia. Induction and Orientation week for the students... finally!

Was in charge of the indoor programme for past 2 days and it's outdoor today. The sun was terrible to me. It was scorching hot!! And i was sweating from 9am to 5pm, non-stop.
First half of the day was at chinese heritage garden.
2nd half was the tough one. we had to walk from robertson quay to clarke quay to boat quay and to one fullerton... under the hot sun! i really felt so innocent... i shouldn't be there wor.

Just some of the games they played at chinese heritage. I think i'm the most tired one.. running ard to 3 different groups, taking photos..
hungry and dehydrating sia.

And after the quick 1/2 hr lunch.. it's the singapore river 'tour'.

Some of the students are really very intelligent in such games. Some took ages to complete the game.
Dead tired for me lor.
Think i will need to sleep 2 full days to recover my energy back.. haha!

Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Not bad leh. Better than i've expected. or maybe the reviews i've heard were all bad.

The special effects are great, especially those sea scenes! And i thought the guys looked damn funny when they were fighting on the big big wheel..

There were some funny scenes still.
I can only say, this movie is almost nothing without Johnny Depp.

Convo

NBS de convo.. and i'm doing marsalling for the last session. We had our free early dinner at 4pm at quad before we start. I can't take camera wor.. have to use HP to take pics instead.

All say i looked like characters in Harry Potter.. without the wand...


The auditorium... The whole thing lasted for abt an hour nia. Heng ah. And the VIP is duno vietnam's president's son or wat...



The foooood! There were rows and rows of food. I dun like it leh. The dinner i had earlier was better. Or maybe i had enough of CJS's food. All taste the same to me. BUT, the chocolate fondue is fantastic lor!

There's also live performance, with one guitarist and one singer singing beautiful sentimental songs. I thought the whole thing was pretty successfully....
There were tons of leftover food and wine!

Tampopo

chester promised us a treat beginning this year. A treat which is supposed to be in March was delayed till now!!

we dun have much expectations from him lah..kekeke..
but to our surprise, he brought us to liang court for jap food!

Tampopo... labbit say it looks like tampon....

My main course.. street ramen. Wah, delicious soup and mee.

This is damn delicious! Especially the fish...the pork too.. never eat the prawn, but he insisted it's good. *Slurp*

Also damn nice!! Short cake.. not too sweet and extremely delicious fruits. my god!

Overall, the food is fantastic! (but it's a bit expensive wor)
And finally, thanks to the treater.. chester!



*burp*

THE weekend

What a fast weekend.

Fri nite - DAMN tired.
Took a short nap at labbit's place after work before meeting him.
Went RB's house for MJ.
LOST!

Sat afternoon - shopping with RB and Joseph while labbit meet his poly mates..
Went raffles city's marketplace and hanged out quite a while at MPH. Joseph was busy 'reading' face, measuring the eyebrow distance from the eyes, etc etc...
I think he has got the potential wor. Maybe he can consider to be a fortune teller as a sideline. keke.
I was reading my horoscope for 2007. Like quite cham. *shake head*

Went Sakae for some food while waiting for labbit. Wasn't really very hungry. And i think the bill came out to be quite cheap. Plus, they forgot to bill us for one red plate. how nice...

Went over RB's place for MJ again.
joseph and i broke the curse of not winning at RB's house b4.
muahahaha..

Marrakesh Moroccan

Jingli and i planned to go marrakesh to use her vouchers today. Rb and Joseph decided to join us.

Had our dinner first at riverside indonesian restaurant. The food not bad sia.. curry also not bad, otah also not bad.. only their sotong sucks.
Their stingray was really cute....

... and nice mee goreng!

After dinner, we went in riverside pt. Ghost town. We are like the only ones there....
RB suddenly pointed to the display....."penguin!".

ahhh... a cute penguin webcam! I have this penguin in CD pouch!

Took some pics on the bridge before and after dinner. The lights changes pretty fast..

Marrakesh moroccan! There's a very handsome waiter there wor.. tried to take photos of him. Only managed to get one.. keke.. *file under personal collection*

We sat on the swing and jingli kept swinging...
*giddy* sia!!


Our finger food and drinks..

We exchanged ghost stories for the whole nite... and 7th month is coming!!

After the deduction of $40, we only paid like $4 each.
That's sooo cheap!!
:D

Superman Returns

Went PWC and had lunch after that with Jingli at raffles place's asian kitchen. Had my favourite pork ramen again and yum... it's good! We had a 2 hours lunch and shopping and drink b4 she heads back office.

Went PS's Leonard drake after that. Heard so much raves on their oatmeal mask... and it's indeed good. Besides that, the atmosphere, the massage, etc all so-so nia. The mask is fantastic and smells great. Maybe i should start doing home oatmeal mask. Just cook, leave it cool, add honey... and tada!! cheap and good.
but, i sibei de lazy leh....

Was half an hour late meeting Jackey. Blame it on the thorough extraction. keke.
Finally decided to get a limited payment one after deciding for so long. I used to blame clients for taking their own sweet time to choose the product lor.. and now, i am doing the same thing too! Human!

With labbit, we went to watch superman returns. And yes, we were like one month late.
hahahaha. we were really lagging in movies this year!
Age liao lah..bo bian. keke.
(actually is pirates no more tix liao, bo bian, so have to watch superman)

I didn't have much expectation on this show. Reviews i've heard are extremely good or extremely bad. The beginning was so boring, i almost fell asleep!!
There were some boring parts in the middle as well. But if minus all these, i find the show still not bad lah... esp when i'm not even a superman fan.

He's quite handsome lah, seems to capture the hearts of many youngsters.. but not for me. *yawn*

JB Outing

Finally wor... sgforums JB outing.
It was a success, but not quite too... coz only 13 of us went. But small group also easier to manage lah. Though it's only 13 of us, we had some impatient moments at the custom liao. bth.

We went holiday plaza....
how i miss city plaza!

Went to stock up watever we need to. We were led to 'hei dian' and woo hoo...
labbit took quite a few movies. Think they will be enough to keep us busy for the weekends for the next half a yr.

Go malaysia how can miss my KFC leh?
kekekeke...
The KFC is fantasic!! 200% better than sunway's and just as nice as PJ's.
GREAT! *slurp*
KFC forever not enough...

We then went for our seafoooooooooood feast with japanese snails, lala, crabs, crayfish, frog legs, etc.. etc...
wah piangz... cheap and good!

custom wasn't that bad when heading home.
it will be better if can pack KFC home for supper lor..

The queue was terribly long. The concert starts at 9pm instead of 8pm. Good also lah, or else our poor joonwen would have missed quite a bit of it. Drey was so clever on guessing that he actually fell asleep in the bus! *piak forehead*

The concert wasn't as great as i've expected. It's not high enough~
But still, i enjoyed it.
The 3rd song, Yellow, got the crowd stood up, clapping and swaying away to the song... except for the lazy audrey.

We also saw a big italian flag among the standing area crowd. *sweat*

Drey and i were busy snapping photos and videoing away. I actually used up all the memory on my HP and camera!
The lightings and lasers effect were fantastic.
Have uploaded drey's videos to youtube.... a bit blur... but, good enough lah! keke



The Scientist. The crowd was singing loudly to "nobody said it was easy......."


In My Place
Everybody will know this song.
Really got the crowd going.... most pple were standing and dancing to the music..

Nice and powerful ending! Woo hoo!~


Everybody's waiting for this song....
Fix you

While walking out to get a cab, we can still hear pple playing coldplay's CD in their car.
coldplay not enough!~
I want moreeeeee!!!!!

The final match

Labbit went for his soccer.

I got up early, surf net, thinking of where to go when RB called. Ho ho!!
We decided to head causeway pt. I used my package and joseph and i went for our foot reflex. Still painful, but not as bad as before.. good!

Played mahjong today again...labbit's the big winner!

---

The match!

The first 10 mins was so drama.
And i thought Henry really concussed.

It was a frustrating match.
Italy played well in defence. But there's nothing new though... their defence has always been good. France was much better in 2nd half, but just couldn't scored. Italy was like playing and waiting for penalty shootout... no effort in trying to score at all. At least France put in all the efforts to try and score during the 2nd half.

And zidane's headbutt was a sign that France isn't going to make it. I pity France. They should have won.
I was feeling sad, but not as sad when spain lost to france.
haahaha!!

It's the end!!!
And for the last 3 world cups, i have lost money during the final match. Such a curse! I'm not going to bet again for the final match in 2010! keke...

Germany Vs Portugal

Spent the whole afternoon at labbit's colleague's house for mahjong. Sweat leh, so many experts.
Luckily i'm not one of the 4 main players. keke

--
The match!

Wah lau! sibei de exciting......
We bought 2-1 , 4 goals and 5 goals.

When 2-1 chance was gone..... we had to bet on total goals.
Just 1-2 more! We were so anxious, cursing on why portugal couldn't score! Cursing on why germany couldn't score just one more...
and suddenly... portugal scored!

TOTAL 4 goals!
HAHAHAHA!
We were so surprised and happy and that we hugged and kissed after the 4th goal.
Steady lah!

But after that i was cursing all the way, coz i was thinking of buy 3-1 initially. And i never learnt from lesson. I never listen to my hunch. Angry leh!

A no appetite day

Met up with Jingli for lunch. Dun feel like eating leh.. not much appetite.
Went home after that for a nap before meeting labbit.

Didn't managed to meet ah ger though. Just passed the book to her colleague nia. Wonder how she looks like now.

I promised labbit i will treat him to Swissotel Merchant Court's Ellenborough Market Cafe.
So, we went! But my stomach wasn't very obedient today. Couldn't eat much, feeling damn bloated. Argh! Wasted......
But i know my stomach will be much better if labbit were to treat me at Brazil next time.
*grin*

Still a tiring day even though i'm not working today. Seems like i haven't recover from all the semi-final matches.
Think i'm breaking down..

Cars

We were like a month late watching this movie. haha! And i was so surprised that there was a showtime suitable for us today!

Another movie by Pixar, now Disney.

I must still say it isn't as good as Finding Nemo, etc etc.. all the other pixar films.
The story gets a bit bored in the middle. However, it's still entertaining enough.
The pictures are cool, the cars look alive!

And this car is so damn cute!! Wahahaha!!

We stayed till after the credits roll.. just to see that few seconds....

Germany Vs Italy

It was the topic of the day yesterday.
Germany or Italy?

History:
1. Germans never lost a match in Dortmund stadium.
2. Germany never win Italy before in WC matches.

So how?
I bet Italy.. muahahahaha!

Woke up at 3am, feeling very seh.. eyes very heavy..
struggling to watch the match.
It was quite an interesting first half. Both teams play professionally and i thought tat's really good football.
Nil for the first half...

Second half, i wake dad up. 3/4 of the time, he sat on the sofa snoring away..
Argh! Makes me lagi wanna sleep.
2nd half a bit boring.. seems like its going to be a penalty shoot out.

Extra time!!
Oh man.. damn tired liao...
If penalty shoot out, germany sure win lor... i dun wanna see them win!

And finally... Del Piero played!
woo hooo!

The last 2-3 mins got us very excited. Grosso scored! Ahhh!!!
I thought Germany will take the chance to score an equalizer as well...
mei siang dao.... Del Piero scored another one!!!

Immediately after the 2nd goal, the germans cried.
The italians ran round celebrating.
The game just stopped like tat!! I didn't even hear the final whistle.
It looks so funny.
kekeke..

Yesh!! Italy won!!
But the goals came 1/2 hour late, so i didn't win any money on that.. heh.

But it's ok.
To me, Italy had help me revenged for Argentina.

hur hur hur!

Brazil Vs France

I didn't really want to watch this match. Brazil sure win one right?
And see my France lost? Wah lau, i dun want another disappointment.

Got up alone at 3am still.......... decided to on the TV.
Labbit still sleeping..
Was yawning all the way for the 1st 1/2 hr.
Almost gave up and went to bed.

Surprise!
Henry scored, assist by Zidane.
Woo hoo!! But usually brazil will bucked up more when the other side scored.
They still play normal to me for a while...
It's only the last few mins that i can see the anxious looks on their face, dying for a goal.
Think brazil over confident liao.

And yeah! Oooosh! Oooosh!!
BRAZIL IS OUT!!!
Reminded me of the 1998 WC when France beat Brazil too.
For all those brazil fans, i know they will be disappointed.... and not going to be interested in the rest of the matches anymore.

But i'm so happy!!
Always see brazil in finals, that's SO boring!!
And this WC... there's finally a change!
Woo hoo!!

After so many disappointment, there's finally one thing to make me happy.
But against portugal is not going to be easy huh..
hurhurhur...
uncles vs ah bengs.
FRANCE! Jia you!

England Vs Portugal

Labbit went for his soccer match and i met up with RB and joseph. Another pedi session! Think we mad liao... We checked out the nail place at the cathay. But there wasn't any slots, so i suggested Summer Passion.

So, we went.
That lady was superb in cleaning cuticles lor. Wah lau! Think she spent almost 5-10 mins on each feet just on cleaning cuticles. And i believe i can skip a full pedi for the next 2 months. Keke... I chose green this time while RB chose red.

Dinner? Since we are already at Killiney.. i suggested porridge buffet (again!!).
Just ate that with Jingli on thursday.. muahahaha.. but it's ok.
I like. :D

~~

Haven recover from the sad match last night and it's another disappointment tonite.
Ahh... my poor heart.

Why can't England just score ONE goal... so difficult meh! ARGH.
But then again, i was interested to watch the penalty shootout. Curious on how Robinson will
perform. But sigh, it just add on to my heart break.
And Beckham cried? Heng i'm not his fan... else think i will cry too.

Rooney and Ronaldo drama..
Maybe both also from man u... ronaldo knows rooney too well hor!
I thought the referee was really harsh on a red.
And labbit caught Ronaldo winked on TV and i saw him Shhhh.
WTS!

When the commentator mentioned that England has never won in a penalty shootout in WC, i can feel my heart sink to my stomach.

Carragher was in during the last few mins, for the shootout. But argh! Why he so gan jiong??
And labbit said it's usually a miss for a 2nd take.
Yah. missed.

Lampard? EXPECTED that he will miss lah!

But Gerrard?? Our biggest hope.... he missed too!
*piak forehead*
Either they kena scared tio by history or Ricardo is indeed great.

and i tot Crouch did great lor!!!
*claps*

Bye England...
No more Argentina and England.. so sian!!
