clique outing

The Rosales kids. :P

Today, I met up with my secondary school ‘clique’ for mass at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. We were actually late for the mass. I think it was already the Prayers of the Faithful when we arrived. LOL. After the mass, we headed on to SM City Lipa for lunch. We had Karate Kid – a Japanese Fast Food chain here in the Philippines. Not bad actually. It was quite cheap. I had a beef dish thing (which is like some beef teriyaki thingy LOL) and a fruit punch (non-alcoholic that is) for only PhP122 which is around S$4! And take note, that was free flow of rice and the fruit punch! Hee hee. Cheap cheap cheap! :P

After lunch, we walked around the mall for a while before one of my friends said she had to buy some fruits for her mom. You see, here in the Philippines, we have this belief that during New Year’s Eve, you should prepare a feast and in the middle of the table, you must have some round fruits and you must have a variety of them. They say that it will bring good luck. Haha.

Anyway, her mom wanted her to buy some so 7 of us were tagging along inside the crowded supermarket to buy the stuff. After buying, I think we took around an hour to finish queuing up to pay for the things she bought. We managed to crap and talk a lot about ourselves and about our other batchmates. I was so shocked to hear some of my batchmates getting married, some pregnant, some already gave birth to 2 kids and the like. Times have really changed. They are going to graduate from the university! (Jealous! LOL) Soon, they will be working and earning money while I am still studying. Hmm. Not that I am complaining. Haha. Time just passes by so quickly. Things change.

After walking around the mall for a while (we were waiting for the heavy rain to stop) we then decided to pay our choir teacher a visit. As I mentioned before, most of my friends were in choir as well. So yeah, even though I was there only a few days ago, I joined them. She served us food again and it was good. Haha. Spent some time catching up again (that is what we normally do because we do not normally see each other). Although I spent most of the time listening to them and contemplating how fast things changed. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were innocent young Sec 1s and now, most of them are about to graduate and start working. Haha. Life.

I felt very happy that day. Sometimes, I do feel that I am quite distant from my friends already. Like sometimes, I feel that I can no longer relate to them like I did before. But this day was different. :)

And that night, my family had dinner and we were complete (except for my father who is in Saudi Arabia of course)! We had a good dinner and as part of our normal ‘rituals’, we would stay seated at the dining room even after eating and started talking. We were laughing our asses off at something which I can no longer remember. We were there for good 30 minutes or longer until we decided to move to the living room to watch TV. These are the things that I really miss about home. Eating and watching TV together, reminiscing about the things that we did when we were still young. Sigh. It is quite sad that I would have to leave for Singapore again soon. Oh well, I guess distance does make the heart grow fonder. I would say that my family (in my view) got closer together when I left for Singapore or maybe I just did not notice it before. Haha. I love them. :)

Let me introduce my siblings to you.

Christine Anne Rosales, 25. My eldest sister. She is my guide whenever I go to Manila alone. She works in an insurance company in Makati, Manila. She works near the Peninsula Manila which was the venue for the failed mutiny last November. She said it was not as scary. =X

Madeline Rosales, 24. My 2nd eldest sister. Our age gap is quite far but that does not mean that we are not close. I actually meet her more often because she works in a telecommunications company here in our province. I think she is the richest amongst all of us. LOL. She is quite generous too. Hee hee. She does know how to handle money and do business.

Ma. Angela Rosales, 18. My youngest sister. She is currently studying Nursing at the St. Augustine School of Nursing. I am sort of the 'closest' to her. She is the owner of the dog. Haha. Not sure of what she wants in life because it keeps on changing. She says that after she finishes Nursing, she wants to join the army. LOL =X

And of course, yours truly. The 'unico hijo' or the only son. Haha. I do not want to blab about myself here. I guess you would have known me by now. Haha.

The 4 of us plus my mom (Fely Ann - on the left wearing pink) and our maternal grandparents.

Us. Happy happy during Christmas. :)

We are supposed to look retarded. Haha.

One more time. :P

Ok, enough. Haha. :)

Alright, this entry is already long. Until next time! Toodles! :)

Food. Glorious food. Haha.

I have been coming back to my Secondary School to see and join my previous choir yearly. I know I have not done any choir stuff in Singapore for the past 5 years but I do join them whenever I am at home. Hee hee. This is primarily because most of my friends and I were members. Some attachment to the club kind of thing. LOL. I even joined them as the voice over for this year's school production. :P

My school has set up an Alumni Club for the members of the choir and we do perform for some school productions, etc. Since I only arrive around December period, I do not get to practice with them so I either become some production assistant or the emcee. Hee hee. Quite fun actually. Basically, we have planned a Christmas Party on the 28th of December.

I managed to meet some of my batchmates and those who have been in the choir since when I was in Secondary 1. Haha. We met at our conductor/teacher-in-charge’s place and had our small party there. Played some games, had an exchange gift and sang songs. Wow, it was indeed like going down memory lane. Haha. I had to rack my brains to try to remember the songs that we sang before. It was fun! We also had a short drinking session until around 11pm and then went home.

During the drinking session, we talked and crapped about a lot of things. They bought beer (which I do not really like) so I tried the Korean Bamboo wine thingy – it think it is called JiRong. It is the green bottled alcoholic drink that we see in most Korean dramas. LOL. It was like sweet vodka/gin. Nice! Haha. I think I had 1 and a half bottle. By the time I reached home, I had a bad headache. Haha. If I remember correctly, it had 21% alcohol. Hee hee. Drunkard! =X
Oh, I know why I have been drinking quite a lot. Bad exam results! LOL. Nah, I am kidding. Hahaha.

Anyway, here are some photos.

With Jeca and Harlene

Some of my alumni choirmates. :)

Our ever-loving and ever-caring conductress and teacher-in-charge, Ms Leila Villostas.

With Jayron, Ms Villostas and Hazel.

How come I do not have the passion to join choir in Singapore? Hmm. I wonder. Haha.

beyonce live

A great show. Hee hee.

Rest rest rest. Hee hee.

The day after Christmas, it was a rainy day. So the lazy me decided to stay at home and watch the Beyonce Experience Live DVD which my sister borrowed from her boyfriend’s sister (my sisters seem close to their boyfriends’ families eh? LOL). Anyway, I did watch the whole show and I think it is awesome! Haha.

Here are some screen shots.

Are you ready to be entertained?

There were a lot of people at the Staples Centre at Los Angeles.

Her 'Speechless' item. The big lip is actually a sofa. LOL.

The stage. Very good sets and designs.

Her Dreamgirls item.

The magnificent ending. 'To the left, to the left' :P

Must watch! :P

merry christmas!

My boy cousin dressed up as a girl santa for his 'Beautiful Girls' item. LOL.

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

This is always the time of the year that I look forward to. The whole celebration is just awesome. Haha. This year, it was made even more special as my maternal extended family had our annual reunion on the 25th of December. The venue was our place in the province – a change from the almost yearly venue of my aunt’s place in Manila. Some of my aunts and grandparents arrived on the 24th to celebrate ‘Noche Buena’ or a Midnight Dinner with us. Fun fun fun! Haha. We went to church for an evening mass before having the countdown at night. :)

Back Row: My younger sister (Angela), Me and my Aunt

Front: My eldest sister (Christine) and 2 of my other aunts

Us again, now with my 2nd sister, Madeline (in green)

The next day, the rest of my relatives came (although quite a number of them did not turn up for various reasons) and we had our reunion programme. Haha. We played some games, had some ‘performances’, lucky draws and a lot of food, food, food. Yum! Haha. At night, we had a short drinking session. The drunkard me only drank 1 bottle of San Miguel Light Beer (I have been having a lot of beer lately although I do not like the taste) though. I do not want to have a beer belly. Hee.

The reunion programme thingy. Haha.

My sister Madeline withe her newly rebonded hair. LOL.

I think this was during the lucky draw. I did not get much. LOL.

Our house is old. Hee hee.

Photowhoring.

More photowhoring. Hee hee.

With my siblings. I think there was some insect on my forehead. LOL.

My siblings and Babu - our dog. Hee hee.

A blurred photo of us sitting by age (L-R: from oldest to youngest)

Now, a better one :)

It was indeed a great opportunity for me to catch up with my relatives, especially my cousins, and spent at least some time with them. Haha. Makes Christmas more meaningful each year. Haha.

Photowhoring with my sisters. Which were rather unsuccessful as they were quite blur and did not get all our faces. LOL.

Some more. Haha.

Haha. Blur again.

We look retarded. LOL.

With Angela, my youngest sister who I am quite close to because our age difference is only by 2 years. Haha.

More photos...

Yay! A clear one. LOL.

Ok, I guess that would be it for now.

I hope you had a great Christmas! :) Take care!

hee hee

The University of Santo Tomas Main Building :)

On 19 December, I met Mia and Anna in Manila as I mentioned in the previous post. I met Mia at the University of Santo Tomas (University of Saint Thomas) and I took these shots of the main Admin building. Looks really old but cool. Hee hee.

Here's another one. Haha.

When I left for Singapore last March, there were only 6 cats at home (I know 6 is a lot but my mom and my youngest sister like to keep them). When I came back this year, we already have 8 cats and 2 kittens =.= and in addition to that, we have 1 new dog. Crazy. Haha.

The Dog. His name's Babu. Ugly name. LOL.

Cute.

This new dog is apparently a gift from my youngest sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend. LOL. Supposed to be some terrier breed – a mixed breed of I do not know what. Haha. The dog’s quite friendly. The funny thing is that when it sleeps, it sleeps with its legs up high. Hee hee. Just some random thoughts.

Hee hee.

Anyway, Happy Holidays! :)

samson

Acting emo at the airport. Hee hee.

Hello world. I am back! Haha

It has been more than a week since I came back. I am not saying that it has been uneventful. Actually, I did quite a lot of things. Haha. Time for a proper update :)

The day before my flight was spent at home, doing last minute packing. At around 7 pm, I then left the house. I took the LRT to Choa Chu Kang. It was actually my first time taking the train with all my luggage. It was not much actually that is why I decided maybe I can save money and take the train. I met Muriel at Jurong East Interchange and then took the train to Changi Airport.

Changi Terminal 2 Departure Area (not that my terminal is here. Hee hee)

While waiting for Shin. Ok fine, vanity. Haha.

We checked in early at the Budget Terminal. It was quite early so we decided to go back to Terminal 2 and waste time. Haha. It was then that I met Shin (Thanks for sending me off! Haha) and we crapped around at McDonald's. While I was waiting for her, I decided to take some photos using my handphone camera. Apologies for the poor image quality. Haha.

Terminal 2 again. I love taking photos of the airport. It is real nice. Haha.

I love the airport because of the feeling I get whenever I am there. I always feel like I am going home although I am not. :P

More of the check-in counters :)

Now, see the difference between the main terminals and the Budget ones? :P

The Budget Terminal :)

Anyway, when Shin had to leave, Muriel and I decided to photo-whore at the nice Christmas decorations around Terminal 2 and the Budget Terminal. You can actually tell the obvious difference between the Budget and Non-Budget Terminals. Haha.

Me! :)

With Muriel :)

Yay! :)

The Christmas Tree outside the Budget Terminal.

I was standing on the road here! LOL

It was then time to depart and during the flight, we still took some photos. Hee hee. We were watching The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives on my laptop to kill time. The rest of the people were sleeping. It was 2am that's why. Haha. We then landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport at around 5.30am. It was a rather smooth flight. Not much complaints except for the fact that my flight was delayed by one day. Haha. The timing for the flight was not bad as the airport was rather empty. Which means we actually had no queues for Immigration and Customs. So we managed to leave the airport early (That is unusual for Philippine airports LOL). My aunt and my sister fetched me, we sent Muriel to the Domestic Airport and then headed home. It was around 2 hours drive from the Airport to my place. Half of the time was spent sleeping. Hee hee. Too tired. Haha. The moment I woke up, we reached our house. :)

The Budget Terminal Departure area

Muriel and myself at the cabin

More photos! :P

I was supposed to sleep and take a rest but I was surprisingly awake the whole day! We even went out to have dinner at Lipa Grill! Haha. The food were fantastic! I really miss Filipino Food! Haha.

With my eldest sister, Christine :)

My mom, eldest sister, youngest sister and myself. Too bad my 2nd sister was not there yet. Hee hee.

The next few days were spent slacking at home. Hee hee. Watch TV, sleep late, eat, and slack. Life of a pig. Haha.

Last Sunday, I went back to my previous Secondary School to watch their concert. I always support my ex-choir. Hee hee. I am actually sort of an Alumni Choir member. LOL. Anyway, I was only supposed to watch but in the end, I was asked to help out as a voice-over for some parts of the show. Since it was pretty easy, I just agreed. Hee hee. Was quite fun. After that, I just hung out with some of them and went home.

On Tuesday, my sister asked me to accompany her to sell donuts. Haha. Yes, sell donuts. She and her boyfriend bought a franchise of a donut company named Hot Loops and they were selling it somewhere 40 minutes away from our house. Haha. So since she was on off (she has her own job), she wanted to visit the place and just help in selling donuts. So she dragged me along. When we went there, we had to open up and start selling. Not that it is a big place. It is just a small stall with the counter where you put the donuts. I was the 'cashier' for the day! Hee hee. Easy stuff. I just sat down and took money and gave the change. La la. Slacker. :P

We had lunch at KFC. Had chicken and rice! Hee hee. That was one thing I noticed about the KFC here and in Singapore. Here, we serve rice with all the chicken. Makes more sense right? As in, you can be more full when you eat. Hee hee. But I don't like their mashed potatoes. Tastes weird. Haha.

We had BBQ Pork for Dinner! Yum yum! Haha and then closed the stall at around 9.30pm. We sold around 175 donuts! Wahaha. Not bad. :) And the donuts are good! We were eating some while selling. :P But we paid for it ok. Hee hee.

The next day was once again a rest day. Rest day means sleep at around 3 am and wake up at 3 pm and watch TV, slack and eat eat and eat. Wahaha.

Yesterday, I met Mia and Anna in Manila to pass them the stuff I had to. I met Mia at University of Santo Tomas (her school) and then we adjourned to SM San Lazaro for Lunch. I went to Manila with my mom as I do not know how to go there. Hee hee. Now I know. I can make my way there alone next time. Haha.

We had lunch at Flavours of China (wanted to try it as my mom said it's good) and it was not too bad. Haha. For the 3 of us (me, my mom and Mia), the overall bill only amounted to PhP550 which is roughly only S$20! Imagine that! Haha. We ordered 2 dishes, 4 cups of rice and 3 drinks and the total was only S$20! Hee hee. Much cheaper than if we were to eat in Singapore. :P

We walked around for a while as we waited for Anna who was very late. When she came, Mia had to leave. After watching Anna eat her lunch (LOL), we then left and headed home. There was heavy traffic and the normal 2.5hour trip became 3.5hours! It is like taking a flight from Singapore to Manila. Haha. Or even a round trip (to and fro) Singapore to Jakarta. LOL

The trip was definitely not a waste as I managed to catch up with them. It was nice to see them again. We are really living our own lives now. It seems like it was only recently when we were all in Singapore studying. Now, Mia is doing Architecture and Anna doing Political Science in the Universities in Manila. Sigh. Time really flies by so swiftly. I hope to see them again soon :)

So yeah, this is practically an update of what I have been doing here. Haha. Nothing much but I am loving it! Hee hee. Christmas is coming! Yay! Looking forward to it! :)

Oh yeah, I watched the Asian Idol and I was so surprised when Hady won. LOL. I do not think he deserved to win. Hee hee.

Anyway, this has been long enough. I will update again next time.

Take care and Happy Holidays people! :)

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first

I loved you first

homey

I am finally home. Haha. And I will be here for a month more. Yay! Hee hee.

I am supposed to do a long entry but I have to fetch my sister from work real soon. So I will drop by again next time to do a proper update. Basically, I have been slacking away at home and as usual, watch TV and eat. I want to gain weight! :)

I am so irritated with Singtel. I did not know that I do not have AutoRoaming services (unlike M1 last time). So now, my Singtel SIM is useless. Sigh. So to those who need to contact me for important matters, or even just crappy stuff, you can email me or call or SMS me at this number: +639187103280. I should not have changed from M1 to SingTel. Sian.

Anyway, I will update again soon. Take care guys.

It feels great to be home. Really.

au revoir

In a few hours time, I would be flying off to the Philippines. Hee hee! But before that, let me give some updates first. Haha.

Yesterday, which was a Sunday, I met up with FourSum! Yay! Haha. Me, Shin, Sean and Ee Sang, met for dinner at Orchard. A small dinner before I leave for home. Shin bought me a cream-coloured beanie! Haha Thanks Shin! :) Had Pizza Hut for dinner courtesy of Mr Sean Ang. Thanks Habbo. LOL We had dinner at 'my turf' - Lucky Plaza. Haha. Trying to immerse myself with a lot of Filipinos surrounding me to so-called prepare myself when I go home. =X Hee hee.

After the dinner, we walked around Orchard, went to Kinokuniya and crapped about all those cute little Japanese stuff that they have there. Bought this small Spiderman-like toy that sticks to the wall then slowly drops (I don't know how to explain LOL). Headed on to Starbucks at Wheelock Place to chill out and after that, went straight home.

Today was rather slack. I just did some last minute stuff and I am finishing up with the packing of the stuff I want to bring home. Haha.

This year has been rather eventful. Finished my 1st Semester in the University. Had some working experience, made new friends - a lot of them. Haha. But for now, I shall leave this place first. Back to my hometown.

0140h, 11 December 2007, Cebu Pacific flight 5J806, Destination: Manila, Philippines

To everyone, have a great holiday! :)

Au revoir

outings and more outings

Hee hee. I have a life ok. :P

Tired. Exhausted. Not because of mugging but because of going out! Haha. Ok. Time for some updates.

I was in school from 10am until 4.30pm last Thursday. You would be thinking, who in the right mind would be in school practically the whole day after his exams are over? Haha. Well, I was with Clare, Jeremy and Raditya doing the CSS SciFCG Notice Board. We had to do an overhaul of the whole board. With all the dirt, insects and eeky stuff on and around the board. Haha. I believe we did a very good job on it! Haha. Colourful and eye-catching! Well done everyone! :)

After that, I then met Shaun for dinner at Newton Food Centre. It was only my 2nd time in that place and we had BBQ Stingray for dinner. Haha. I am beginning to love that dish. Haha.

We then headed on to Orchard Road to walk around. Bought a new beanie (as I lost my old one) and walked and walked and walked through the Orchard stretch. Haha. It was nice to see the decorations and just feel the Christmas atmosphere again. :) After going in and out of shops, we then went to The Cathay for the movie! It was my first time watching a movie at The Cathay. Haha. We watched Enchanted and some of the SciFCG peeps were there too! :) Overall, it was quite a funny movie. All the singing and stuff. Very Walt Disney material.

Enchanted. :)

On Friday, I met Daniel for lunch. We met at Jurong Entertainment Centre (JEC) and had Kobayashi for lunch. It was once again my first time trying out their food and I must say, it was not bad. Haha. After lunch, we adjourned to IMM (I don't know what it stands for). We were like noobs because it was both our first time there. Hee hee. The place is pretty big and there are quite a lot of shops. Way better than JEC. Haha.

After that, I met Liang Yuan at Plaza Singapura for dinner. (Oh my, I have been going out a lot! Haha. Mostly because after exams, most people want to meet up and catch up on one another. Just that I would be going home soon that is why I had to push everything into this week) Anyway, I did a pretty embarrassing thing when I was waiting for him. I was inside Sembawang Music Shop (Or whatever it is called) and I was looking through some CDs. When I was holding on to a particular CD, Liang Yuan called asking where I am. As I was talking to him on the phone, I absentmindedly walked nearer the entrance of the shop. I would have walked out if not for the alarm sound (the one that rings whenever someone takes out an unsold good from the shop). I then realised I was holding on to one CD (I forgot what it was already) and then looked around, with all the people looking at me! Oh my God! I was so embarrassed! Haha But of course, I acted cool and just walked back, and continued talking to him on the phone while I browsed the CD collections. LOL!

We walked all the way from Plaza Singapura to Raffles City to eat (what he said is his favourite) Vietnamese Baguette. Basically it is just a small stall at the Marketplace at Raffles City that sells Vietnamese style baguette. The whole concept is just like Subway. I had Saigon and he had Chicken Baguette. Too vegetable-y for me. LOL After that, made a long, grueling walk around Raffles City, Citylink and Marina Square. Haha. Walked round and round and round. My feet were killing me that day. =X

Yesterday, we had the SciFCG Faculty Cell Group and BBQ Session at Debbie's uncle's condominium (Flamingo Valley) at Siglap Road. We had the CG first, which was led by yours truly and Michelle, and then had the BBQ! I was time well spent and it was fun! I liked the corn! Hee hee. After we cleaned up, we played some very funny games. We played this game which was like Heart Attack but a silent and funnier version. Haha. We also did some Fluffy Game thing which is basically just stuffing as many Marshmallows as you can inside your mouth! LOL And yours truly, together with Jeremy are the record holders for stuffing 8 marshmallows inside our mouths! LOL I did not expect to be able to stuff in that many! =X It was damn hilarious. Haha. I almost puked but luckily I did not.

The Comm at Flamingo Valley :) (so sad Mich left already =X)

Me stuffing the Marshmallows inside my mouth (damn unglam! LOL)

I think this was the part when I almost puked. =X It was damn funny! Haha

SciFCG BBQ Session 2007 :)

So far, the past few days have been really enjoyable but definitely exhausting. Haha. I love it though. How I wish everyday can just be spent having fun and enjoying life. Hee hee. Wishful thinking.

By the way, I was so irritated the other day as I received news from my sister that my flight on 10 December was cancelled and was delayed to the next day, 11 December. Sigh. I don't feel like taking Cebu Pacific Air ever again. Ever! Haha

Anyway, here are some other photos during the BBQ Session at Flamingo Valley courtesy of Debbie! :)

The Comm looking spastic. Haha (I look so ugly lah! Haha)

Point to the Head! :P

Us. It was time well spent guys. Thanks a lot! :)

So close
And still so far

cafe iguana

The Tuesday Night Out. :)

Last night was another crazy night. Haha. After the Wala-Wala outing last Thursday (Shin, you still owe us the photos!) they all wanted to go drinking again. Drunkards! LOL Nah, we're social drinkers. Haha. I have no more money so I just decided to hang out with them. Haha. Just be there for fun. Drink here and there. Hee hee.

Riverside Point. Where Cafe Iguana is. Haha. I took this photo ok? Just not my camera. Haha.

Anyway, I stayed at home the whole of Monday and until Tuesday afternoon. At around 5 pm, I headed on to Clarke Quay MRT to meet Jasmeet, Terence, Manee, Naren, Weiting, Alicia Ong, Clara and Keith. Had dinner at Burger King (save money) and afterwards, adjourned to Cafe Iguana. Cafe Iguana is located at Riverside Point somewhere in Clarke Quay. Haha. The place was alright. I heard the place is known for its Margaritas. So that is what they ordered. They have been there before so they know what to order. Haha. The Margaritas were nice! They ordered Strawberry, Blackberry, Mango and Lime Margaritas. Tried everything. Haha. However after that, we decided it was too expensive already. =X Since the night was still very very young, we thought of just sitting by the Singapore River while some drank beer. And to think that Jasmeet, Terence, Naren and Manee already drank 5 pints of beer EACH (take note, EACH) at Brewerkz. Crazy guys. Haha.

The group. (Back row from left) Myself, Manee and Naren. (Front row from left) Keith, Terence, Alicia, Weiting, Clara and Jasmeet. A real cool bunch. Hee hee.

We sat by the river, like juvenile delinquents, talking and just plain chilling out. Not a very good place to chill out but it is always not bad to just sit down and talk. Like after the QuadFac bash at Ministry Of Sound, we just sat by the river and waited for the sun to rise. Haha. We ate chocolates, talked about Pharmacy, our future, and all other stuff. Was a real good time spent with them. A cool group to be with. It was funny how they reminisced about PSLE, their Secondary School, how we played the Thumb Rule, Seven Up, the 'I Have Never...' Game, etc. How I wish we can do that everyday. If only we had the freedom, the time and most importantly, the money. Haha.

At the riverside. Haha

We decided to go home by 11 pm. Wow, that is actually quite early. Haha. I guess most of them were already tired. Especially those who started drinking since 2pm. Haha. Anyway, it was a good night out before I go back home. See you guys next semester! :)

Some other photos courtesy of Naren's camera (Thanks Naren!). :)

Us at Cafe Iguana :) (Sorry Manee! I think My hair was blocking you =X)



Naren, Weiting and Me! (Don't ask me why I look drunk in this photo LOL)



The guys! Haha (I look damn fair because of the flash. Haha)



The drunkards. LOL (I think Terence is already damn high at this time)



I decided to be like Class Rep Alvin and be an arty-farty photographer. Hee hee. I think it failed because my hand was shaking. =X

The view right in front of the area where we were sitting.

The dark (and dirty) waters of the Singapore River. Haha.

My side of the table. Haha. :)

Us. Too bad Shin and Alicia Khong were not there. The 'Right Back Row people at LT22' would have been complete. Haha. Thanks guys, I really had fun! :)

Less than a week left. I cannot wait. Haha.


I said it's too late to apologise. It's too late.

december

Blink. Blink. It is December already. Time flies. Haha.

I shall update a bit about my exams. The 3 consecutive days of evening papers were 3 consecutive blows on all of us as well. Sigh. PR1101 (Physicochemical Properties Of Drug Action) felt like taking Chemistry S Paper again. PR1102 (Physical Pharmacy) was the unexpected paper. Those that I studied for did not come out and those that I skimmed through or read the title came out. Sian. PY1105 (Physiology) is physiology. Same old tough MCQ paper. Haha. After these 3 consecutive blows to our morale, most of my classmates already finished their exams. And so, it was time to celebrate! Although I have not finished mine yet (I still had 1 more paper) I joined Terence, Jasmeet, Sremanee, Narendran, Shin, Alicia Ong and Weiting to pub at Wala-Wala at Holland Village. It was one hell of a time. I had real great fun with all the eating, drinking, chit-chatting, playing open numbers and Truth or Dare. Luckily, I did not get 'kena'. Shit, I do not know how to translate it in English. LOL

Saturday was my last paper, GEK1535 (Our Atmosphere: A Chemical Perspective) and it proved to be much better than the 3 shitty papers I had last week. The MCQ was fine (I noticed that for the last few numbers, I think he felt lazy to come up with new questions and thus, he just took the questions from past year papers) but the interesting part was the Structured Questions or the Essay. We were given a choice to do either the Structured Questions or the Essay (and the broad topic was given to us). I was planning to do the Structured Questions but I did prepare in the day itself for the essay, just in case. Fortunately, I did so as I was rather overwhelmed by the Structured Questions. I decided to do the essay and I am pretty much happy about it. Felt like I was writing a GP essay for 1 hour. Haha. I was mostly crapping with bits of facts here and there. See where it would take me.

Basically, this Finals was our first ever final examinations in the university. I did learn quite a bit through my experience preparing and taking the test. I do need to be more hardworking and be more consistent with my studies. I need to attend and listen to lectures (Shin, I hope you are reading this. Hee hee). Things could be better if I prepared myself better. Although it also depends on the level of difficulty of the paper. These are just some things I think I need to ponder about. Haha. I must keep that scholarship. :)

After my last paper, it was havoc. Haha. I was celebrating the whole weekend. Hee hee. Exams are over! Mugging's out! Fun's in! :) Looking forward to meeting up with people and having a lot of catching up to do. Haha. And I am certainly looking forward to 10 December 2007, 0140h. My flight home with Muriel. Yay! I am so freaking excited. Haha.

Alright, time to rest. Oh, it would be a House MD-filled week! Haha. Time to watch house non-stop! :P Toodles!


Take me home. Away from this place.
