the only group photo of the nite....

lovely night out with poly friends...

haha... before the photos overdue, i better update my blog 1st. not really fresh out from the oven but these photos were taken last friday. usually i will upload the photos on tat very nite but due to unforseen circumstances, i din had the chance to upload. & over the weekend, i din had any chance to use my lappy. so dragged till tis week, i received a reminder from Pat to ask for photos and i finally rem to download from my cam and upload on facebook and my blog here. heehee...

anyway, fri's gathering was with my poly friends and Ms Koh, our poly lecturer cum mentor. there were lots of laughter, jokes and happy smiles for the whole evening. apart from climbing the irritating and idiotic long flight of stairs up to Timbre @ Old School, everything was perfect for the nite. the company was good, the ambience was lovely and the food was yummy. Ohhh.. one more flaw: the fish & chip was uncooked when served to us initially. but Timbre did a service recovery by giving us a totally new set of fish & chip even when our initial one was halfway eaten. for tat, we compliment them. but the raw fish initially certainly shocked all of us. the nite went on well with our dedication to Ms Koh and i'm glad tat Ms Koh enjoyed herself with us.

the 2nd half of the nite continued after Ms Koh & Eugene went off 1st. June, Patricia, Jace, Bryan & I met up with another friend, Zach for KTV! woohoo~!!!! overnite KTV session @ Partyworld, from 12am to 4am. we decided on taking some shift work during singing in order to tahan thru the night. whahaha... after singing, we didn't go home straight as the only transport left will be TAXI which will cost bomb. we chose to sit down @ the 24-hrs Macdonald @ Shaw House to have our breaky while waiting for 1st train or bus. heehee... & we saw many interesting pple and happenings @ the macdonald. well, certainly the 2 guys may tink likewise as they shld be feeling rather uneasy. heehee... apart from these unglam scenes going on, we had a good time chit chatting, gossiping @ Macdonald. it was really a good moment of recalling all fond memories we had during our 3 yrs of poly life in NP. come to tink, we noe each other for abt 8 yrs.. pretty long ah...

alrighty! time to share some photos taken! till then, i shall await for the next poly gathering (hopefully more pple attending the next one).

You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what ? this is a part of your character and charm.

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognise the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'. - tis is pretty true abt me, i guess... :)

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone. - i would tink tis is really true abt myself... hee...

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!

Crab & Durian Feast with Pri Sch Frens...

it was a gathering which i had been organising abt 1 mth ago. it was so hard to fix a date with everyone as each of us has different commitments on different days. finally, a common timing was fixed to be on Fri, 27 Feb & initially the gathering was only among the gals. it was juz last week when i decided to get the guys as well. so trying my luck, i sms-ed the guys and i was rather surprised by their keen responses. it was a crab feast @ Melben Seafood @ TPY and we arranged for a rather late dinner @ 8pm.

dinner was good as the crabs for the night were fresh and yummy. & not to forget, the company for the night was interesting and great. we have been friends for almost 15 to 19 years & it is always good and enjoyable to meet up with such long time friends. we can update on our happenings as well as do some recalling of fond memories. i was pretty surprised by most of us as we were able to recall things tat happened way back during the days when we were only abt 10 to 12 yrs old. haha... & all these fond memories always create a good laughing session. i do look forward to more of such gatherings with this grp of long time friends though i muz say, organising such gathering with so many pple takes lots of patience and effort. haha... i was rather impressed by my own perservance and patience in organising the gathering despite so many cancellation, postponing and changes. anyway, at the end of the day, when all of us enjoyed ourselves and had great fun, all my effort were worthwhile afterall. heehee... furthermore, my craving for crabs and durians were satisfied in juz 1 night, esp for the durian feast. our decision to stall-hop was great and wise! haha... i shld start to plan on the next gathering whenever possible since such organising takes some time ah... heehee... up next shld be baking session @ Waileng's house, rite gals? hahaha...

Outing to Marina Barrage

It had been abt 2 weeks since i started on my new job. Currently I am working in a tourism marketing company and for the past 2 weeks, it was a period for me to get used to the happenings in the office and the operations of the various accounts. i am still adapting and learning the ropes, hopefully everything will carry on smoothly. basically the job scope is wat i am looking for and i hope tat my interests for the job will carry on to be boasted as time goes by. i dun really like to do things which dun interest me. thus, interests in the job play impt role in capturing my attention for the work.

since i started to work, i am rather lazy to online after i get back from work. my thinking is tat since i had been facing the computer screen for the whole day, i dun wana face any more of my lappy for the rest of the nite. i prefer to root myself to the sofa and enjoy the shows on TV. so i guess tat is the main reason y my blog had been neglected for the past 2 weeks. had some happenings for last weekend and tis weekend, so decided to update both entries together.

1stly, i went to the Marina Barrage with my family (Cousin SW, WK, Baby Lynn, Aunt Cindy and Grandma). weather was pretty cooling on the day when we were at the Marina Barrage and it was quite a pleasant trip as i had fun running around with Lynn. the place was rather spacious though there were many pple around - families having picnic and there were some events going on. however, i tink i was expecting to see more things. to me, the whole area seems under-utilised. hopefully when the surroundings r more or less done up, when all the construction work ends, the whole Marina Barrage will be fully-utilised to its max level. look forward to tat day... ^_^

anyway, here r some pics which i took @ the Marina Barrage:

view from the top of the barrage... trying to find the building which my office is located at... can't seems to see it clearly though...
