People I will Remember, Love and Cherish (2007)
Haix...its been a year and a half since i started blogging, and this blog has glimpsed many events of my life...both pivotal and memorable... the events aside, I will remember the people who have an impact on my life... In this entry, I have been.... am ....and WILL continue to remember you...

(listening to Coldplay-Fix You)

1. My Family- Dad, Mum and Sis (Oli!)

Of course, what's more important than ur family. "Blood is thicker than water"...the saying is definitely true. Dad, Mum and sis....if you are seeing this... I really am grateful for the love you have shared with me. Admittedly, I have been rebellious this year, and although it will sound absurd to apologize to you guys out of the blue now...I will do so in this blog. I AM SORRY! ..... but besides apologizing... I want to thank you...for being by my side when I'm down...when I'm blue...and even tolerate my nonsense. You are irreplaceable in my heart forever!

(listening to The Beatles-Yesterday)

2. My present 20/07 [Mar-present] -Cadence, Charlene, Cheng Ying, Dawn, Deborah, Dennis, Diantha, Han Hui, Isaac, Jacqueline, Jia Yi, Jie Han, Joshua, Ka Wai, Lubna, Melissa, Nerissa, Neritta, Pei Jun, Randolph, Seow Peng, Sueann, Tanglin, Zong Yao

Frankly, it hasn't been a smooth-sailing time for our class. I still believe that the bonds between everyone has yet to be strengthened... Yet, regardless of the obstacles that derail or cause and misunderstanings...I sincerely want to thank everyone of you....in one way or another....you have been helpful and caring towards me... Of course...the memories of going through JCTs and Promos together...as well as PW....YEAH!!! WE PAWNED IT...ahaha... guess it will be another yeah of tolerance, frustration, and madness....before the A levels are over...well...i wish everyone all the best in their A lvls... :P

(listening to Aslyn- That's When I Love You)

3. Iban- Benedict, Davis, Han Chen, Hilary, Jia Yu, Kang Qi, Kian Yan, Linda, Sean, Xin Huei

HEY!!! U GUYS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED!!! HAHA! yeah... during camp hutan...they have helped me cast aside my troubles and stress of Promos...If I hadn't known you guys...maybe life will turn out differently...so much different.... We had 3 days of madness (screaming and crying kids), fun (hiking, dragon-boating, night walk and campfire) , cheering, singing...and of course...the memories....Even though I'm not from Tao Nan primary myself...I feel like a part of it during the camp... THANK YOU EVERYONE! even though everyone came from different backgrounds...it was Iban that brought us together...and although good things come to an end (the camp...i mean), the memories will always be treasured...hopefully there's another camp like this....and we can repeat these all over again... Iban Forever! (Love Titanic song too... :D)

(listening to backstreet boys- Incomplete)

4. Delta H.C.- Angus, Chun Kiat, Jeanette, Ji Teng, Kenny, Nadiah, Pei Jun, Ryan, Samuel Y., Shaun, Shi Yun, Sze Sian, Xiang Yun, Yvonne

Yo DELTA! Haha...you have been inspirational to me...both in terms of leadership and wittiness.. Next year (I mean next week), orientation will begin and a whole host of other inter-house and intra-house events. Gosh, I'm both excited and tense at the mention of these events... but I really hope that we can make everything a success...besides the need to juggle with our studies and tolerate our teacher's sarcastic remarks...haha... But let's just worry about the BIG event now...may Slithas win Orientation next week!

(Listening to Simple Plan- When I'm Gone)

5. LEO- Seow Peng, Randolph, Zong Yao, Nicholas, Wiki, JItLap Kan, Gabriel, Kah Meng, Teng Han, Sophia...and all the other LEO members...(sorry...running out of time for me....)

"we are all in this together..." that's right... you guys have been loads of fun and joy...I have never loved CIP and voluntary work so much until i joined LEO... regardless of the often last minute preparations we have to made...our perseverance often creates success for our events..just like the recent December Street Camp...Love U guys for ur caring heart...

Man, I seriously want to write much more than these....I've got so many people to thank...like my teachers...my seniors...my class of 20/07 (first 3 months)...and many, many many more.... but time is short....so even if I do not write your names here....deep in my heart...I will thank you and wish you a successful and joyful 2008!

As for everyone who has impact my life in one way or another... I have a few requests for everyone...I know that the year 2008 is filled with many events (and possibly worries and stress).. but if you are reading this...let me give you a useful tip on surviving all the mayhem.

***Take time to RELAX***
I know this sounds ridiculous, but it actually works. When I used to face problems in my life, I will recap the events that lead to it, or better still... think of the happy times I spent with my friends and family. Remember: Life is not filled with just all work...that will make you a real dull person. Shake of those negative vibes...get out of your workplace, play your games or musical instruments, or even have a heart-to heart chat with your fiends...just take some time off (and attention) to relax.

Wait...is this getting off topic? Ahaha...you may think so, but the last 2 paragraphs were written especially going out to all the people whom I care (u guys will know who you are..haha...) 2008 will certainly be a year of choices and outcomes...so just take it naturally and have faith in your choices...Regardless of the outcome, it's a success nonetheless that YOU did make a decision.

Once again...To all the people I remember, love and cherish...THANK YOU SO MUCH!

U have touched my heart...
U have eased my mind...
U have warmed my soul...

With love and respect,
W.Q.

Top 10 Moments (2007)
That's right, this year has certainly been perhaps the most fun and entertaining year for me, for in terms of school and other external activities. Despite the many downturns that i had faced in 2007, there were certainly many highlights as well, which spurs me on to share with all of you...what else....the top 10 most memorable times i had this year...

(In random order)
The day...

1) ...I got Bronze Swimming Cert
Lol, I know this may sound real silly, but sometimes...it's these moments where you feel a sense of accomplishment...and its these accomplishments that mould your life and shape your future. How the chilling waters and fear of cramping and drowning threatened to derail my hopes of making the cut...yet i persevered... for the sake of my family, my coach and of course..myself and my future. Despite the pressure(to add on that i was the oldest...others were like...10 years old?), the joy of touching the wall...the proud look of my coach...well...that feeling is simply unimaginable!


2) ...I won GOLD medal for Sports carnival
Haha...just like the bronze cert for swimming, this is definitely a "zenith" feeling.(haha...nice word huh? "P) Yet, this had relatively so much difference in comparison to the former. Who says winning something must have the accompanied pressure? Haha...firstly, the game was dodgeball (U DIDN'T SEE WRONGLY..HAHA), only without that huge ball... tennis balls were used instead. Frankly, the entire step-ladder game to the finals was a breeze, and i enjoyed every minute of it/ Apart from the semi-finals, which we fought back from 0-4 down to win 5-4 , the team game was such a joy to play. Teamwork was another difference between the former and this... and it resparked the times i used to play basketball as my secondary school cca. Of course, another reason why it was memorable was the fact that i got sunburnt...like a beetroot..lolz...


3) ...I had Mass dance during last day of PAE
Well, if the first 2 moments were that of joy, the third was a sad one for me. Often, it's difficult to part with people you enjoy working or studying with...and that can be said of the last day of PAE. After 3 months of close friendship forged...it was really heart-wrenching to see these friends that you have just made leave the school just because of a thing called O level results... I could remember so vividly that one of my best friends, Jun Jie, sat at a corner...with tears glistening in his eyes... i remembered it took everyone's persuasion for him to dance the song "Retarded" by the Black Eye Peas. For myself, it was really a melancholic moment... as i nearly wanted to cry my heart out...(I'm serious!) ...but told myself to put a brave front for my then-classmates. That is definitely a night to remember...and until now....i still cannot accept the fact that the class of 20/07 (Jan to March) is no longer there... like a crack in my heart that will never heal... I will remember u guys forever!!! I promise!


4) ...during Dragon-Boating and campfire
How often can you experience both of this in one day? HAHA...not unless you are in camp Hutan. Yeah! that is surely one of my highlights of the year... Dragon-boating gave me those memories of the tough weeks i spent kayaking during my secondary school life. Yet, I felt that feeling of calmness and freedom when i was on the boat in the water. Even the weather and venue was strikingly similar to that of the past. The scenario was etched in my mind as i stepped into the boat with my fellow Iban kids and of course Hilary, my camp group partner. Together with the other Ibannies and their fellow GFs, we splashed, paddled and of course, had loads of fun with the water. We even got to soak our feet in the ice-cool water, and that was quite a cooling sensation! Aha...maybe i should kayak more often...water and I got some affinity..haha...
That evening, there was also the campfire, which i had not have for ages (2 years to be exact). It was so heartwarming to see the kids sing, cheer and act to their hearts delights, which reminds you that there is till a hidden child in oneself, waiting to burst out and join those kids in their rhapsody of cheering... LOVE U IBANNIES!!!


5) ...at Settler's Cafe
Yeah, that was another highlight, as...
1) I had never been inside Settlers...
2) The cool, fun and lovable Iban GFs were there...and...
3) we played board games...

Haha...frankly, the third one was so unexpected right? With online entertainment and the latest gaming consoles fighting to capture our attention, hearts and money...board games have sort of taken a backseat. Therefore, the notion of playing these board games really struck a chord with my heart...the childhood memories of playing snakes and ladders...replaced with Bluff, Who's the Boss?, and Say the word.

Ok la...the third game has got nothing to do with boards...but a card game is still "ancient" compared to PSP and XBOX360 rite? Admit it...haha...



6) ...LOST ended
That struck a different chord in me...the show that inspired me to watch 3 seasons of it...ended so dramatically...despite some critics about it...i thoroughly enjoyed it.The final few episodes revolved around the revelation that there was finally going to be some form of help...which led to a whole series of events....which was definitely unexpected..it was definitely sad to see Charlie, a character in LOST, died in the process of bringing help for his fellow people...and i remembered that night...as i laid on bed...thinking..."Is life and death really pre-destined?" Apparently, there was a guy "who could predict the future" in the show, who predicted that Charlie would die no matter how many times he got saved...and in the end it did. Man...the ending was crap, but the story had certainly came to an end...an end which was regrettably...unforgettable...


7) ...PW ended
After 10 months of...
...Mind-boggling research...
...Hair-pulling deadlines...
...countless hours spent on articulation, pronunciation and corrections...

...the cursed subject is gone! GONE!!! All that remains is the awaiting of results- Not one to be happy with...the fact that personally, i think i screwed up... Nevertheless...it's OVER!!!!

8) ...I became a LEO member
"Leadership Experience Opportunities", that's what it means...and joining it was such a blast! Well, the highlight was mainly singing...with a twist...using sigh language as well... So, 2 weeks were spent learning how to master a song as simple as "We are all in this together"-with highly reduced speed...the tempo was ultra slow....in my opinion...that was definitely one of the most unique experiences of my life.. maybe it should be called- Let's Enrich Ourselves "P


9) ...Internship ended
Gosh, this was really a sad day for me...well...SSC (Singapore Science Centre) had really brought lots of fond memories and learning experiences for me...i will miss the DNA lab, that irritating soundtrack being played outside the lab, the Mac's (where we wait for the gate outside SSC to open), the Segway- (ultra, super, duper, cool, futuristic 2 wheel vehicle)...and of course the people whom i had worked with (and messed around with too..)...ZhengDa, Sanjeed, Mr Adams (J. and Q.) and Miss Florence Francis. Thank you for changing my perspective towards Science in general...and rekindling that long-extinguished passion for it. (By the way, Patrick, thx for reminding me...haha...yeah u still havent forgotten my nickname...lolz..)


10) ...Cycling to Changi chalet
Well, guess what...this was the start of a series of cycling trips I had made, both alone and with friends, both old and new bikes...the day i cycled so far, until my whole body (particularly butt), hurts for days... yet the day too where i relived the moments of riding the bike...feeling the breeze blowing my hair...everything appearing so natural and free...even creating a Zen-like condition within me...gosh...I'm sounding like an idiot...but never mind that...In fact, had I not thought of night cycling (which led to a series of events which ultimately ended up cycling to Changi chalet), I may still have that old bike chucked outside my house...rusty and squeaky...Hmm... Guess I have to thank someone for changing all of that...haha... My thanks to Hilary- for getting me to cycle again...and remind me not to waste that 1 year plus time i have left before i go to NS and shift house...away from the beach... well, I love my new bike as well..


Wow wow wow...guessed I've wrote so much for a night...and i nearly forgot all about today... December Street Camp had been something I 've been waiting for, ever since Camp Hutan ended...and this was really MENTALLY challenging...never mind the physical fatigue i had to endure from chasing after the kids...nor the hoarseness of yelling like a madman... but I'm so DRAINED today...guessed i used up all my karma for today... Gonna post more stuff very soon...as 2007 reaches a fitting conclusion...

Close your eyes for 10 seconds...(trust me...just do it....)


Feeling better? Yeah...All those wordiness must have killed anyone reading it...be it boredom or God-knows what...ahaha...

Cheers

Pre-Christmas blues
"...2 days to Christmas...4 days to December street camp....8 days to the end of 2007...

Status quo: Homework barely done, revision has not begun..."

Man, I'm so toast by the way it looks... In 2 weeks, school will begin and another year of boring and un-inspiring work load will begin...or so it seems... sigh...sometimes I really think I'm the biggest complainer in the world... I should start looking for some inspiration and motivation ....before the enormity of A levels hit me... so hard that i may just drop dead...for good...

Anyway, for the past 2 days, I have been out and about, going out...enjoying what little time remains...This Christmas weekend is definitely a wet one, with the constant rain and wind as close accomplices. Yesterday, on the demanding request of my fellow classmate, Cheng Ying, I attended a church concert at the Suntec City Auditorium. Actually, I was reluctant to go, as my mum was against me going there. But against or not...I entered the Audi...

Well, it certainly was a sight not to forget. Firstly, there was the people, and boy, it was like thousands of them...all eager to have fun. Never mind the crowd, the moment the emcee began warming up, the crowd became boisterous. Christmas carols were sung, and everyone was singing and (clapping) with passion and might, except me...Wait, I'm not trying to be a spoilt brat or something...but something deep in my mind told me to be neutral about this...so i just clapped politely after the end of each song. After all the gusto, the concert began to my relief. (I wasn't sure if I could stand another minute of the deafening sound) Frankly, the concert was good but i left halfway...to watch "The Golden Compass" with my sister. Haha! That was one movie i wanted to watch since November, as I used to read the story when I was young. Lolz...I SO love the story...the CGI effects are great, the characters are special, and the storyline was well-written. Apart from the ending which was a little abrupt, (due to it being the first of a trilogy series), the movie was satisfying overall, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If everything in life was a movie.....

As for today, the entire family brought 2 special people out for an outing at Vivocity. That's right, they can be said as family- at least for a certain time 2 years back. Still not sure who? Well you ought not to know...

They are of course the girl whom my mum babysitted for close to a year, and her brother. Named Chloe and Conrad respectively, they were certainly lovely! Haha...despite the earlier unfamiliarity, (because we didn't meet for close to a year), we managed to bring them to eat at Mac's, buy them gifts at Toys'rus and buy chocolates at Candy Empire. It was certainly tiring for everyone, but it was so heartening to see the smiles on their faces as we bought them Christmas gifts...makes me feel like Santa Claus...haha....

Well, as i mentioned earlier, the holidays are ending and so are the days left of my freedom...Man, I really wish I could do much more than what I'm doing now...there are certainly so many things that are still yet to be accomplished (listening to "Same Old Brand New You-A1") and with so much stuff to revise...2008 will certainly be a hectic and draining year for me...

Yet, one has to feel optimistic...birthday in approximately one month's time (yay!)... and many more days to prove my worth and accomplishments...hopely I can accompish something before NS... I still cant imagine myself being botak....||-_-

How self-rhetorical... life's a swing...

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.


Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?


When the day is done
!
Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?


You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.


Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?


Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say,'Hi'


You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.


When you run so fast to get somewhere.
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.


Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music
Before the song is over.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York hospital.

Pre-occupied
What a day it has been for me today....so many things have happened and coincided... and now I'm feeling both excited and fed-up at the same time. Well...this weekend is certainly crazy and unproductive (in terms of homework...lolz...)

Anyway, I woke up on Saturday morning with a stinging headache that just won't disappear...actually, I had the terrible urge to just pop a couple of aspirins to ward off the pain...but after hearing a report that the chemicals in Panadol does affect your brain(I'm so NOT kidding u), I have tried my very best to steer clear from that white pill. So, I spent the morning enduring the pain while i tried to do my econs essay....

Conclusion: Don't do econs when you have a headache...especially an essay...

After 2 hours and lots of pen-twirling, i gave up and hopped onto my bike to cycle along the coast... Well, to think about it, this is actually the second time I've rode on my new bike and it's definitely a heartening thought to entertain: 1 year plus to ride along East Coast before I'm moving house...the thought of leaving East Coast is definitely a sad one...Anyway, I attempted the ride all the way to Changi (the route using my old, squeaky bike) and ....i nearly succeeded... the heavy rain was my obstacle...and i decided to head back about 100m from that half- point...imagine cycling like 10 km in the rain.....u get SOAKING wet....

The only consolation was that the coolness of the rain seemed to wash away the pain from my head...and replace it with "refreshed-ness"-new word...haha....it also provided a rare chance for me to transverse the world alone...(lol..my world is tiny Singapore..)...And....i finished that dam essay...

As for Sunday, it was another day to remember...it was the 3rd time I've been to the Esplanade (as in inside the contours..) and this time, the trip was meant to bring the elderly from Block 12 of Marine Terrace to enjoy a Chinese Orchestra (C.O.) concert organized by Nangyang Polytechnic.

Haha...by the way, the last time i really watched C.O. was during sec. 4, and that was like CNY? So the notion of watching a C.O. performance had nearly put me off initially...(trust me...all the C.O. concerts I've been to never fail to put me to sleep...)

However, i was wrong this time...well..nearly wrong...This C.O. concert was certainly quite entertaining compared to the others. Apart to the monotonous commentator with her dull and unentertaining tone, the concert was certainly an eye-opener! The gu-zheng ensemble was first, and it was the start of a 1-hour escapism into the world of Chinese music. Although they were the smallest in number (about 8 in all), the music was soothing to the ear, with the occasional sharp halts and rapid play.

Next was the woodwind and percussion ensemble-Boy, this was to me the highlight of the show. With the introduction of a conductor, the concert began to show its potential. The conductor was really an expressive character-As the first song was "Ting O O (sky black black in hokkien), he got the audience to participate...u may wonder... how?

Well...he got the left side of the crowd to shout "Bei Zhi Giam" and right side of crowd to shout "Bei Zhi Cheng", which meant "porridge cook salty" and "porridge cook bland" respectively. It was pretty hilarious when he got the audience to do so, in conjunction with the song and with the C.O. playing and halting for the audience to shout out the porridge quote....it was rather ROFL....

Never mind those antics of his, when it really came to the serious stuff, he really seemed like a guy with passion. When the string ensemble played a short piece by Tony Osbourne named "Sweet and Light", my attention was fixed on the conductor...The way he gesticulates (like a mad man to the untrained eye), his hands moving with the flexibility of a slithering snake (make it 2 snakes... cos 2 hands...haha..) and his body swaying to the music like coconut tree leaves to the wind...it seemed as if he was possessed. However, from his quirkiness and charisma (the way he gets his message to the public), he seemed to be the highlight of the show.

Well, it seemed rather ridiculous...to dedicate a couple of paragraphs to this man...when the actual performers are the cast of the C.O....yet it was with his assistance that they are able to put together a piece of music. Nevertheless, the C.O. also deserved kudos with their outstanding performances and their fluent delivery. When the entire cast come together to perform, it was simply magical. Of course, towards the very end, it somehow felt like abrupt...maybe due to the fact that the boredom is starting to set in... In the end, I couldn't help but stifle a slight yawn, as everyone (me included) left quickly as soon as the show ended.

Ok...if you are still reading...thank you so much for persevering...haha...

Guess what...I got myself a new keyboard/piano. Will be getting it tomorrow...that's not all...i'm getting myself a guitar tomorrow too! WHEE!!! The thought of these musical instruments gives me a sense of exhilaration. However...deep in my heart, I feel a sense of guilt- Honestly, i feel bad that I'm not forking out the money to buy them...but on second thoughts...i ought to feel happy...cos at least finally...they are buying something which I want (it's not everyday that your wishes can come true in just...a month?)

Wah...looking back...i realized that i wrote so much...and it's already 1 am...dotz...i ought to be asleep now....guess I'll hit the hay now... :D

Fading...
Over these past few days, I have been from one outing to another... and now as I'm typing away, I feel both exhausted and lost...sometimes...i really wonder where are my goals in life....With so little time to spare before the start of another year, i really wonder if i can ever escape from the pressure that awaits me: my schoolwork, revision, expectations as well as my inner demons. Well, in between these long moments of feeling lost and a sense of hopelessness, i still find time, respite and sanity in the outings which i had been over the past few days...

On Tuesday, after HC meeting in the late morning(discussing on what to do for next year's CNY carnival), I proceeded to Settler's Cafe at Katong to immense myself in 3-4 hours of playing a variety (not plethora...haha) of games ranging from "Who's the Boss?", "Bluff", "Miner and Saboteur", "Say the word"...although the games do not ring a bell to anyone, it certainly was a blast for the 7 of us (Davis, Hilary, Jia Yu, Kiang Yan, Linda and Xin Hui). It was really a short getaway from the otherwise mundane holiday I've been having, but i certainly enjoyed every moment of it. After that, we had dinner at East Coast Lagoon Food Court, having Hokkien Prawn Mee, Satay and Chap Kway Teow. Mmm...it was definitely a sumptuous spread! After which, we strolled all the way back to Mac's, passing by the breeze, sand and night...."romantic"-termed by Kian Yan...lol..

On Thursday, I had Econs project meeting with my fellow classmates. Despite the monotony of the subject, it was the fun that was worth remembering. That day, we spent a considerable amount of time doing up the poster needed for our project. It was definitely a long day, but it was something to note as it was another one of these days whereby i get to be with classmates to do something together, even if it means "reliving" the moments of PW.

As for today, it was definitely something to remember. We went to the Bethesda church to do CIP for LEO. We gathered there and decorated the area with the theme of "Merry Christmas" before prepared a game of Bingo for the elderly. The simplicity of the game was definitely a bonus for us, as we had little problem teaching the elders on how to play the game of getting 5-in-a-row. After the game and another sumptuous meal of buffet, we proceeded to bring the elderly to see the sights( actually...lights...) of Orchard. It was really a heartwarming experience for me as personally, i was told that these elderly only get to see Orchard only once or twice a year...especially approaching Christmas. We joked, we laughed, we even sang songs together. For a moment, i forgot the age gap that seemed so apparent...

Sometimes, i really wonder how ironical life is, when the fun moments in life are short-lived...while the unpleasant times have to be endured with little more than a hint of apathetic-ness...

From the song of Daniel Bedingfield-Never Gonna Leave Your Side:

"I feel like a song without the words, a man without a soul, a bird without its wings, a heart without a home.
I feel like a knight without a sword, a sky without the sun, cause you are the one.
I feel like a ship beneath the waves, a child who's lost its way, a door without a key, a face without a name.
I feel like a breath without the air, and everyday's the same, since you've gone away."

This is how i feel...can't wait for the misery to pass...can't wait for the love to come...can't wait for freedom to arrive...

Emo- Listening to songs to soothe my soul...

Internship-Aftermath
After 3 weeks of waking up early...
After 3 weeks of standing like packed sardines in the MRT...
After 3 weeks of not doing any homework...

Its' Finally OVER!!!!! Sayonara Internship!!!!

Actually, come to think of it, I feel rather emo about it, not because i derive pleasure in torturing myself through countless days of waking up early, but rather the close bonds i have made with my mentors as well as the exhibits. (I'm SERIOUS about the latter!) I remembered on the last day, everyone made an effort to touch some of the exhibits for the last time, and we even joked on how our mentors would hide in the toilet and bawl for the loss of us interns. Man, come to think about it, I'm starting to get real emo....dam....(listening to Robbie Williams-Feel...)

Anyway, the aftermath of internship has been relatively filled with activities. On Friday night, i got my first opportunity to try out my new bike. Man, that was certainly a blast, as this new bike is super-duper cool (and not squeaky too..Ahaha). Just 24 hours ago, my family and i went to the Marina Bay Seafood centre(2 in 1 BBQ Buffet)! Spending $52, we gorged ourselves to our hearts content, ranging from fried chicken wing, sumptuous soft-shell crab meat, crunchy fried wanton, spicy black pepper chicken slices, fresh prawns, clams, mussels, squid and cool red-bean ice-cream. By the time i reached home, I had a stomachache...so much for binging impulsively.

Anyway, today my family and i first visited my grandfather at Eunos, and we had a quick meal with several updates on what's happening to my relatives. Then we headed out to Vivocity, as it was a long time since i last went out with my family. Man, that was Happening! There were score of people, and such a plethora of shops and accessories. There was even some bike stunts organized by the Animal Bike gang (strictly not animals-duh)located outside the shopping centre. The Christmas season is definitely approaching, as the warning chimes of "Merry Christmas" threatened to blow off the minds of the faint-hearted. Man, personally...the arrival of Christmas could only mean one thing...

....MY HOLIDAYS ARE ENDING!!!!

but my homework isn't...

Save me...
