sakai destressing day full of food =]

Biopharm3 had been my nightmare for the past few days. me and fiona broke our record, studying until 2or3am for 2 consecutive days, becoming zombies in the day and sleeping like babies at night. haha..;p the sunday before the test, we actually went to this cell group dinner all done by the working folks. we could really see how much effort they put into it..and the food was absolutely scrumptious!

fruit salad and tofu by david, fish by derek, fish kuah and dal chicken by derek's mom, kajang satay (really very nice, first time eating it), nougats by alice~

oreo cheese cake by stefanie with E9 on top... can you see it? really delicious. must get recipe from her!!

finally! the exam was over today. i discovered that i made some stupid mistakes and some not so stupid mistakes (due to a wandering eye which happened to skip certain important parts in the module which were, as i know now, important.haha..)

one bad thing that happened to me was that i terkena some virus from msn. i knew that this thingy had been circulating around for some time. but, well, i got careless i suppose. my mistake. so now i'm figuring out how to kill it off. wait till i get to you, you evil slimy scumbag virus! gah...

so today was destress day! hurray!

me and two wonderful friends went to midvalley after class, since group c NO CLASS! hohoho... it was such an unexpected treat to finally get to hear a certain someone converse in mandarin.;p then once there, i managed to find the most perfect thing i've been looking for. haha.. secret.. *shhhh* thanx shu yin and kelvin for helping me to choose. it's the best!really!i agree wholeheartedly!=]

i also managed to buy two gifts, with the help of my two trusted pals, one for appreciation, one due to obligation. lol.

see the difference? lol.. but i love the way the bigger one is wrapped. nice~

then we went on a feeding frenzy, gobbling up all sorts of free food and drinks. hehe.. we the creative and innovative people of the new generation have our ways. those that i liked the most were the pohpiah (two wei~) and the cuttlefish snacks. haha.. sad to say, we exhausted more saliva compared to what we actually drank.;p sakai betul.. and i found out that i really really love mcdonald's CHOC TOP!! it tastes like magnum with all the delicious vanilla inside.yummy..;p

kelvin's water bottle. cool right..=]

i almost went sakai when see all the nice cakes.. got boon koon's genes oredy.haha..

cute right? i saw this at carefour..

all in all.. a very nice outing! =]

Merdeka day

everything seemed to work out perfectly. even though time seemed to be running short, there was just enough time to cook and eat a scrumptious breakfast (toast with sardine, bake beans&egg, soya), rest, cook and eat lunch (my version of hakka mee-this time not too salty, leftover jelly), load spiderman3 and burn it, iron and fold damp clothes, drive all the way there, somemore managed to detour to the bank at petronas, then i practically flew home, good thing there was no jam. i reached the carpark at 4.29pm. just one minute left to run to vista B. haha.. one sad thing... there was no fireworks to be seen that night. haiz...

then, well, it was time for emerge!!

the finals for playstation quickly escalated into a typical football match between instar and MU. i could just hear all the guys become alive. haha.. MU lost by the way. ;p this time, for me at least, the focus was not so much on the activities, but rather, the powerful and touching sermon by pastor Kong bout jacob wrestling with God. I felt so happy when the clap-o-meter reached 100, like it should have. Sidney mohade lead us in a song again, very cool when he used the loudspeaker. nice song, but my arms got quite tired. haha.. i can safely say that this has really been the best emerge session ever! even better than the first day!

after a touching finish where all of us joined hands and sang a song bout friends being there for each other, i was cornered by the video crew to say my feelings bout emerge. i think i let derek down terribly, coz all i could say was, "umm.. emerge... very good!" gah! you should have just seen the look on his face. sori derek!

so back we went, dead tired. and here i am now, dead tired and with a sore throat. it was quite sad to keep the 'boudoir' we've been using these two days alone this morning. coz usually it is a joined effort. ah well, biopharm3 calls. so... sipping my 'Finish annecdote' for sore throat, which has miraculously healed, biopharm3 here i come!!=]

Emerge 1st day =]

A day full of various events.. with entry by wrist bands. it turned out quite nice, not as boring as last year..;p hope tonight, the finale, is even better.



First was the Transformers event. they really spent a lot of effort making it look real. one group's transformer really looked like a jeep! all looked very nice, especially on screen. very robotic. haha.. LU's transformer was bumblebee. cute, but a bit damaged. ;p

Next was some drum performance. followed by praise and worship

then they had a hip hop dance by o-school, singapore. not bad la. but i still think urban groove is better. the best!=]


after that we had talent time performance by the finalists. the drumer was only 14!! and he was so good. the guitarist was also quite good.

Next was a violin performance by rebecca tan, a child prodigy from Malaysia who graduated from trinity college and the london school of economics. pretty? yeah. what i liked most was her ever changing facial expressions according to the music. sometimes moody, sometimes smiling, sometimes thoughtful..

Then they interviewed Elim Chew, founder of 77th street, entrepeuneur of the year 2002, 2003. who was supposed to be rich and successful, on 20 boards, including NUS. what was remarkable was that she had always been the outstanding student - outside standing. and yet she could be so successful. so i guess God can use anyone if you are willing

A special guest, milk, from taiwan gave a performance too. two songs altogether. i didn't know who he was but got to know later that he was from energy previously. quite good looking, but a bit fat.;p

Last but not least, the parade of schools! i think the best was from MINT, but somehow they had some trouble doing three tier formations. one girl almost fell a few times. yet, they managed to shove her up in time and she will immediately smile radiantly. one group, forgot which one, did some helicopter-like thingy where three horizontal girls were thrown to the adjacent place at the same time. dunno how to say it. must see for yourself only you will understand. haha.. LU was, well, full of transformers. thanx to you know who. and we saw some very familiar steps. but i still think the original was the best! go pharmaknights!!

sermon by pastor Kong Hee:
bout being creative. Solutions, creativity, originality, esthetic outlook

3 words God doesn't like: difficult, impossible, cannot be done

What i think is most interesting is when he said that God does things with style. coz He did not just sign an agreement with Noah or give a handshake, he drew a rainbow..

i alwayz thought rainbows were very beautiful. =]

wedding bells

I went for sally’s wedding on sat morning. It was quite a rush, as we had to leave at 9am for the 11am wedding. Guess this is one of the downside of always being on time. Anyway, I went there wondering how grand it was going to be. While waiting outside for the rest to arrive, we engaged in the only activity available—people watching. Conclusion? City harvest is full of ‘lenglui’s. aih.. is there hope for me to become like them? How I wish. Haha!;p
First we saw the husband-to-be. Damn handsome man. Then sally arrived, looking blur, excited, happy… the flower girls were sooooo cute!! So was a little boy of about 1-2 years old, looking adorable and dashing in a mini tuxedo. I thought he was going to be the ring bearer, and seriously, I was a bit worried for the couple as he kept crying and hanging on to his poor mothers’ legs like it was his life-line. By the way, after the wedding, we saw him in a pram!! He looked so cute, like ‘xiu yeh’ like that. Ha..
During the wedding, they showed a short video clip of the couple. It was quite touching, as we could really see how much in love both of them were. The whole wedding sweet, heart-warming, sentimental, full of romance... it made me think of what I would really want for my wedding. When or if it happens anyway. Heheh.. I don’t really care about the decorations, as long as it’s simple and sweet. But I want the special feeling to be there. The feeling of both being ecstatic, happy till nervous, sweet, touching, romantic… the feeling of “finally… we can finally be together forever…”

chicky thursday

One sunny evening, mother hen brought his chicks to midvalley for a treat. The chicks were very excited because it was their first outing together. So, on the way there, they chirped about endless topics, and then trooped after mother hen to the appointed place where a special bedtime story was being told. As there was some time to kill, four of the chicks found themselves some food while mother hen found himself a drink. Mother hen sure waddled very fast though. Anyway they were just in time to catch the magical story about narfs and everybody having an appointed role and purpose in life. It was a very fun outing not so much because of the movie but more the excellent company. At the end of the night, mother hen had to leave while the chicks found their way back themselves. The entire journey was most amusing mainly due to a particular talkative and funny chick. Under orders from mother hen, with dire consequences should they fail to comply, the male chicks showed off their gentlemanly attitude by walking the female chicks back to vista C. ~the end~

Cast:
Mother hen: zia hau
Chicks: me, Fiona, Kelvin, BB, KK, miao miao, Alfred, David
Talkative chick: Alfred
