here's a photo from some time back.. sean said that i will eventually land myself into a vicious circle.. camy said that i'm an 'united nation'... but i don't really care?? some have already gone home, while some are going home soon, while some have still some time to go.. but i miss all of them.. in big ways and in small ways.. i just want to say 'thank you'..

a final pack-up..

weight: unknown.. due to the recent bouts of tummyaches.. no. of shopping indulgences: finally!! at the count of ONE!!!.. no. of bag-indulgence session: numerous.. no. of chocolate indulgences: just finished up with kakaocreme.. started with rum & raisin.. *yummy*.. no. of lunch/ dinner appointment: 4..

an accidental spill-out of winterwear wardrobe, resulted in a big pack-up in my room.. well, it was very much needed anyway.. it's just a matter of time, before i need to get everything in place.. anyways, in doing so, my room has resumed to the way it was approximately a year ago.. with only one last small plastic bag worth of items to be put away..

as i fingered through the things around in my room and hidden in the cupboards and in blind spots, every single item seem to tell of a little bit of my life at each pt of time.. photos may fade.. stuff may yellow.. memory may fail.. but when something comes into one's line of vision, memories do return..

nostalgia.. but that aside.. just learnt of something that leeying's gonna do.. hmm.. i'm in much admiration of her courage and decision though.. it's really really a quantum leap of faith.. made me wonder much about boon's 'light at the end of the tunnel'-statement..

nus university hall..

well, something that i wanted to post but kinda forgot all about it.. anyways, i was that bored and i was way too early for lecture so decided to check out this place.. which i think, resembles a tat too much like that of the amercian embassy along holland road.. and there's just something absolutely not right with all the new structures and buildings in singapore.. somehow, they always have some futuristic 'space-craft' located at the top of the building.. oh wells.. anyways, what i really like is that of the following...


sue me!! i was that bored.. but what really struck me was the interior design of one of the admin blocks.. yupz, these pillars that stretch through a couple of levels actually left an impression on me.. could really enjoy the feel of 'space'.. which was a really good thing.. i mean, for a school that is cluttered with buildings and engineering faculty being so overpacked on a hilltop.. it's nice to have something like that around in school..

and after spending quite a fair bit of time tracking down the architect of this work, here it is: rsp architects planners & engineers.. and i realised that they actually did ucc as well.. wow.. check them out.. pretty cool but very futuristic impression..

school has started!!

weight: unfortunately, it's on the rise.. number of familiar faces saw in school: somewhat countable but thankful for them too.. number of times that old chang kee has tempted me: 2 times and counting.. number of days have past since school as started: 4..

school has officially started.. and well, everything has started rolling again.. snowballing rather.. hmm, it's really good to be back in school.. well, one truly appreciates what the adults mean by, school days are still the best..

it is good to smell the weird smells that each place in school carries.. to see familiar faces, though it's really much lesser than that more than a year ago.. yet, it feels strange all over again.. the mad rush everywhere.. unfamiliar faces and you suddenly realised that you are one of the oldest around in this institution now.. gawh!!! gone were the days when freshman still sounds that fresh..

thankful for making friends in unknown lecture classes.. and to even stumble upon my sec. sch classmate, whose name i unfortunately mistook for another.. total, utter embarrassment.. thankful for catching up with ppl all over again.. classmates, sep friends.. whoever man..

well, perhaps a little depressing, coz one year from now, it will be another decision-making time.. a bigger one perhaps.. but before that comes, here we are, having to brave through yet another year.. perhaps we may hit a pt, whereby we want to kill each other over project.. perhaps there comes a time, when we want to destroy some property in school.. but well, it's tough but we have gone through 3 years.. so give yourselves a pat on the back and look on ahead..

so, welcome back to school!!

the first day of my holidays!!

weight: oh gosh.. don't ask, it's complicated.. chocolate indulgences: further increased up the scale.. no. of fireworks seen: 1, while the other fell apart.. no. of appts with tall and desirable guy: 1.. [hmm, shall let mr. designer's ego inflat a little and girls, if you need the contacts, msg me yeah..]

that aside.. today is the first day of my holidays!! woohoo!! come on man, give it a 3 cheers!! =)


bevor ich andere sage, musste ich die folgende sagen.. scheiße!!! ich war spät, deshalb habe ich ein bisschen des film nicht gesehen!! gawh!!! nicht gut!! aber das film ist sehr gut!! jawohl.. die musik ist ganz gut und man kann wirklich die ganze laune fühlen.. sehr schön, obwohl die handlung sehr traurig ist.. aber das ist ein gutes film!! wenn du zeit hast, musst du das film sehen!! und ja, ich muss von wikipedia lesen, über was ich nicht gesehen hast.. oh oh!! und ich habe die uni, ludwig-maximilians-universität münchen, im film gesehen.. ja, ja, ich kann sagen, dass ich dort war.. nicht in 1943 aber in 2006..

yupz, so that's almost how i spent the first day of my holidays.. though i gave rag a miss.. hmm, on 2nd tots, perhaps should have gone, then could have seen ppl and see margy!! miss that babe loads.. and yes, who can forget about foodie!! dim sum buffet!! eat your hearts out man!! don't give a hoot about the weight, as long as i'm happy man.. and food makes me happy.. oh, did i mention that i intend to stuff myself with loads of food over the course of these few days?? jawohl!! who cares about weight.. let the slimming sanctuaries take care of that for me.. *laughs*.. when they come along that is..

borders is having it's 30% newspaper-cutting offers again!! gosh!! and i'm an idiot when such moments come.. and borders is having a slogan of 'have a bookshelf that others will be jealous of'.. oh yeah, i love that slogan but such a lifestyle can only be substantiated if i have the financial means of financing it too!! though i do not deny that my bookshelf is expanding as well.. hmm, i've yet to find a good coffee joint, where i can sit down and drown myself in a book for the entire day.. well, tampines mall sounds really cool but man!! the distance will be enough to kill me..

fireworks with a french theme, just did not work out coz of the crowd and the fact that i don't like crowd.. mr. designer can testify to that fact.. well, but at least i can say that this year i caught the national day fireworks.. right outside the national stadium and standing in a really good spot, with great company to enjoy the wonderful showcase of colours.. hmm, i shall let the photos do the talking then.. when i get ard uploading all of them, with appropriate commentaries..

the bridget-jones way..

weight: exploding on the scales.. chocolate indulgences: 4 times and counting.. junk food counter: in desperate need to visit the supermarket for replenishment of stock.. shopping sprees: unfortunate figure of -1.. visit to the beach: close to a perfect zero-score..

the title of this post says it all.. you all know which book i am currently digging into.. teaches one to blog, bitch, swear.. well, mainly to bitch.. well, let's try out how this new feel fits with my blog..

surprisingly and tiring week.. goodness gracious.. talk about having the wind taken out of you.. break ain't much a break and was zooming off to so many places.. cool stayover on friday, throw in a crazy session of 'madagascar', which sent us into a frenzy and waking the occupants of the house up.. but i'm lousy!! i was the 1st one to knock out..

that aside.. guess what have i been up to?? freeloading!! oh yeah.. with much much food and all.. excellent food, which i was awesomely treated to.. oh yeah, wonderful experience of freeloading.. the whole experience lasted for more than a week.. but shoot me man, for i have the fortune of eating and tasting it all!!


1st up, we had the wonders of singaporean delights.. cheepeng & aunty amy being the instructors and advisors of this session, it's no wonder that we had such wonderful food!!


2nd up, we had food hailed from the land of genghis khan!! oh yeah, the land of mongolia, whereby it's a little hard to picture ppl from there coz it's so far away and the climate is simple close to an artic-challenge..

let's see what we had here!! potato salad, which is a fission of russian & mongolian cultures.. carrots with mayo.. and it totally did not taste a tat like carrots!! and most importantly, the national food: buuz!! there's 3 variations: beef with vegetables.. beef with potato.. beef with rice.. schmeckt sehr sehr gut!! die mongolische mädchen können sehr gut kochen!!


3rd up, we had food hailed from the land of the rising sun!! what you see in the picture has one missing dish, which was food hailed from kazu's hometown.. doesn't that looked like some dish on a japanese restaurant's menu?? oh yeah, they were that pro and good!! my gosh!! and we had diy-maki rolls too!! yoshie single-handed organised the whole dinner and the rest of the japanese chipped in and helped in all sorts of ways.. well, i was late so i only got to see the end of the preparations.. now, how can the commercial japanese food beat this homemade one!!??


taku was in town during the weekend.. on a stopover to bangkok.. yeah, devin's back too.. to finish up his final semester at smu, with exchange in nus.. uncle jeam joined us coz he hasn't seen taku for a long long time.. debbie will be off to china for a mtg this wednesday.. and both uncle bernard and debbie will be off to the states in the very near future.. great friendships, great memories and stories that came about in a really weird way but will go a long long way..

and yes, we had vegetarian food for lunch.. what a change!! meat that isn't meat but taste totally like meat.. seafood that ain't seafood.. but well, it compliments my 'see-food' diet so no complains.. great food, with great company.. a tired but well-spent day!! =)

all he had to do, was to just point and click.. and yes, michael newman's life went haywired in the end.. well, fast-forwarded, skipping all the things that he wanna miss and getting to what he wanna get to.. so much for a universal remote control but it ended up controlling mic's life!! and yes, work vs. family/friends... find the balance and stay away from the remote control.. not everyone gets a 2nd chance like mic did!!

well, not a movie i would have caught if it didn't come for free.. and my ticket flew away.. went on a mini chase to get the stupid ticket back.. oh wells, and yes so i successfully watched the movie.. and yes, big underlying theme!! family/friends should take precedence over work.. an erroding social knowledge that has been pushed to somewhere behind the back of the brain..

on a sidenote: wenn man nicht mehr weiter machen kann, braucht man jetzt wirklich eine pause... aber leider gibt es keine zeit.. warum gibt es keine zeit?? zeit ist immer da, aber es geht immer.. es wartet auf niemanden.. das ist schade, weil in das leben des jemandes, es viele schöne erinnerungen gibt, geht die zeit leider immer.. oh scheiße!! ich brauche eine pause.. eine kurze pause?? aber ich denke, dass es nicht genug für mich ist.. eine lange pause?? aber es ist unmöglich!! *gawh*.. ich brauche einen großen urlaub!!!
