dinner was at suki then to minds for games. im sure i really suck at making noises. haha. but at least all of us had real fun and some catching up. and LMY didnt send me any photos so when i feel like it i shall grab some from her blog if i can.
Saturday was out wit bf to town for lunch. yes TOWN again. im quite sick of that place. then we went to shop for mr toh's present. got him his giorgio armanai aqua di gio and a tshirt. except choon kai who lost his way 10000 times. i didnt know its so hard to locate taka. and the rest FINALLY reached to accompany jas and me for shopping. =X guys, we were giving you all good training. got to learn how to wait for your gfs in future. and i saw ms lim! she's having a good life by being off that day and its her luck to bump into me. then dinner was at this new cafe-Whisk. Food was not bad but slightly pricey. Bill came up to almost $200 for 8 of us. werent filling enough either. and their service SUCK. Had to ask them for cake for 4 times.
after which, some of them had to leave. dr ong to his party with streamers and balloons and jas to feed medication to muffin. anyway muffin's her bunny. nugget (her hamster) passed away some time ago so her devotion's all to muffin now.
then the rest of us were off to alleybar. everywhere else was packed. headed home after that.
received my results for ST yesterday and im rather disappointed with myself. shall not elaborate more. and i should be rushing my SM major now. cant help digressing when i have to read 20 journal articles to do one damn literature review. if u want to be kind, help me read some. the millionsssss of small words are killing my eyes. and i realized i have got one week to burn and swallow these information before the D days arrive. gosh. one week plus few days minus about one week of digression. i will be left with an approximate of 3 days to finish these...
the estimated height of these books in total is 15cm. and it doesnt help when the you can find hundreds of words in a page, especially for ST. lets hope what the lecturers said are true. that this degree will be all worth it. quoted from ST lecturer ms nisha, "i have taught so many degree programs and none of them are of standard. if i really have to pick one, then only mur-doch can fit the bill" and that "we will really shed tears of effort and joy when we graduate" as per mr samuel. ms long, dont hug me and cry ok?
and i came upon this photo...
that's mr caleb along the corridor of ritz. and i think its funny
and this is really useful. my ear rings no longer gets all messed up. $2 from daiso. =)
Precious you

They continued building the MRT lines, been giving assurance to the citizens, to finish and open the IR on time. We have all these thanks to our wise g o v e r nment. They are willing to insure our bank accounts, not letting our major firms to go bust. Look at other countries, are theirs putting in enough to help? We have been hearing big companies going down.
Our country is so small. It's easy to get affected and fall but nobody is allowing that to happen.
Having said all these, who will remember when this lull period is over? when the economy picks up again? We complain. complain that everything is going up. E R P, transportation, necessities. Of having fines after fines. But have one ever thought of WHY should regulations be implemented and costs to go up? To help in our economy. So that our country has a strong financial foundation, that we wont fall during crisis. If we have no E r P, no cameras to catch speeding cars etc, then we forsee massive traffic jams. So how do ambulance, fire engines or police cars get to places fast? no such measures in place then expect horrid jams then.
IR. If our g o vern ment only cares about profits and not social sustainability, then there wont be counselling bodies or entrance fees in place to control. And i wonder how many people who made noise on the building of IR actually went for the interviews.
Perhaps one day the citizens can realize how much our go vern ment had done, been doing and will do for us. To protect, shelter us and give us a good place to be in. People thinking of migrating all the time, think again. Yes less stressful when you are overseas but are you sure you can be so sheltered and feel such assurance when you are there?
Nobody is perfect and no countries can be too. But im sure ours have put in their 100% to help. And their assistance rendered will have limitations too. Wise up people.
Precious you

bumped into casey at bedok mrt and had a short chat with her. it was nice meeting old friends. i miss the entire bunch of them!!
Having submitted ST final report last friday, i believe majority of us had a good weekend. it was so enjoyable although nothing much was done. shows how much all of us needed a BREAK.
Had dinner with my family some time last week as it was my parents' 21st wedding anniversary. first time "celebrating" it with them as i never knew when their anniversary is. so sis and i planned a dinner for them and surprised them with a photo collage and flowers. the smiles on their faces delighted us. and since sis had to rush to chalet, we only had a simple dinner at TM. bought a LCD panasonic 32 inch which was delivered on sat. mum dislike the bigger ones.
Saturday baby's sister's bf came to fetch me with them in his car to millenia walk's harvey norman, wanting to catch the good offers. but we were too late. everything was gone. then baby and i met up with the rest to settlers' at clarke quay. i was utterly disappointed with their inflexibility. they have NO idea what service satisfaction is. but we still had a wonderful time and i enjoyed panda game and the trading game. =)
then to central for dinner. i thought manhattan fish market's seafood platter was much nicer than fish n co. well, my preference. manhattan over fish n co anytime. then to clarke quay for a walk before heading home. the day passed so fast...=(
mr toh with his red short ears. CUTE! im the photographer!
and sunday met baby for lunch before going aunt's place. then we had dinner at pu tien. new at TM basement. i remembered my lecturer giving example of valet parking at pu tien.
food was good. and im sure they are earning big bucks from the crowd. recession? dont seem like it.
and i only managed to capture 2 dishes as my cousins snatched everything else before i can take the pictures.
hairy crab. known as da zha xie but not 'da' at all.
this is a must try
average cost of a meal for about 7-8 pax costs almost $300. i rather be going ah-yat for chilli crab. i can eat at least 3 crabs and other dishes with that amount of money
and i saw my dearessstttt fung that very night. the only sad thing on sunday night was that i didnt have dinner with baby and monday blues started that very night when i reached home..
back to projectsss now. =( and yes, i cut my hair.
Precious you
