Did you miss me? August 4, 2008

Haha.. After a long hiatus, I’m back! Not that I’ve actually been anywhere really. I guess when you’re jobless and do absolutely nothing everyday, there’s really no need to bore anyone with these details. Yes yes, some of you might be envious that I have the freedom to do nothing. But trust me, there’s nothing to be envious about.

 

Anyway, (kinda) new start calls for new theme! Haha… Yah, I kinda figured that content is more important than appearance! LOL. Also because I still think wordpress’ theme is very hard to figure out, as opposed to blogspot.

 

Ok, maybe I should update on what exciting events happened during the past 1 month…

 

14th July – Exciting day coz…. It’s My Birthday!!!

Went to watch Hellboy II (which I think should be renamed Hell-BORE), dinner at Kenny Rogers and then cake-cutting in the car at Fort Canning. Loved the gorgeous Chocz cake that Dear got me.. Super rich chocolate, super sinful. I like……

 

22nd July – A day my parents waited for a looooonnngggggggggg time. Convocation Day! A.k.a Last day as a student for the rest of my life!!! Wooohooooooooooooo………

Note the 2 lovely bouquets, which were handmade by my aunt, who used to be a florist but is still very very talented. Everyone thought my bf gave it to me though -_- Sighh… Sad to say, he didn’t make it and neither did he give me anything

 

26th July – A night not to be forgotten… La Vie de Vegas, NBS Convocation Ball 2008!

Possibly the best dinner I’ve ever been to! Food was great, programme was entertaining, company was lovely and we all looked damn good that night!! Haha… Ok, abit BHB. But compared to, like, Sec 4 and JC prom where everyone think they looked good but actually very orbiang, I think everyone was really quite chio/handsome lor.

 

27th July – Dear Dear’s Birthday!

Booked a chalet at Costa Sands Sentosa and dinner at Carnivore at Vivocity. Carnivore was nice but as usual the bf didn’t eat much, as with all buffets. Sometimes I think there’s something not right with him. When need to pay (i.e. ala carte), he eat so much and complain not full. When I bring him for buffets, he eat soooooooooooo little that he waste my money. Zzzzz…… No more buffets from now on!

 

Oh and we caught The Dark Knight too. Dear liked it so much that he wanted to watch it again. I thought it was so-so, not bad but not good enough to make me wanna watch it again. (For comparison’s sake, to me a I-wanna-watch-it-again movie would be Transformers. Which I did watch again, actually. And The Devil Wears Prada, which I watched, like, 3 times in a row on board a SQ flight.) But Heath Ledger was good though. Such a pity………

 

With so much activities in the month of July, its no wonder I’m still jobless! Hoho…. Finding excuses for myself. Ok la, August is a brand new start. Shall work hard to find a job before POSB closes my bank account due to inactivity and insufficient funds!

My last days at NTU April 8, 2008

Haven’t blogged in quite awhile, so this is a quick update!

 

My BM 214 group mates after our last presentation on April’s Fools Day. I wub all of you lots lots!

 

The craziest bunch of ppl! Just look at what they’re willing to do for the sake of 214!!

 

Actually there’s a video too, but for my own personal safety, I decided not to post it online.

 

And following the presentation was our last lecture at NTU on Thursday. Wooohoooooooo…………….. I’d like to think that this is my last lecture EVER, but lotsa people have been telling me that when I start work I also have to go for lecture. Sianzzz….

 

Haha and I had to take a photo with gary, the chick magnet. LOL. 左拥右抱!!!

 

Zi lian-ing in Can B.

 

Today had meeting with wen for stupid cesim. Already do so badly liao still want us to chronicle our downfall. Worse of all, ITS NOT OUR FAULT THAT WE FELL FROM GRACE!!! Zzz… if not for the fact that its 10%, I die die also don’t want to present.

Anyway, silly wendy shi sheng (hoho), but by the time lunchtime came, she was well enough to have spaghetti. Haha… her throat selective one sia.

Had lunch at the new RESTAURANT at NTU. YES, NTU HAS A RESTAURANT!! Its called The Palatte. Surprisingly (for NTU’s standard), the place and menu looked pretty decent!

Sadly, this being the first day of operation, they didn’t have the full menu. And despite putting in effort to mark their chef’s recommendations with pretty pink stars, they weren’t available. Zzzzzz……

So we had to settle for this. Spaghetti Alfredo and The Palette House Salad.

 

Hungry wen forgot about her sore throat and toothache…

 

I thought the pasta was pretty bland. Maybe first day they ran out of salt? Salad was… salad lor. What can I say?

But overall, its ok lahhh… Commendable effort. And definitely a BIG improvement from the current western food (think Can A and B).

6/2 – Class of 1998 March 1, 2008

Just got back from the primary school class gathering, the first in 10 years. Turnout was surprisingly good as we managed to get around 15 people, which is pretty encouraging.

Dinner at Waraku was ok, but I think the most important part of the night was when we sat down and started recalling our childhood memories. Rachel brought the school “yearbook” and her old autograph book and we pored through it, trying to remember why we wrote certain things. Best friends, good friends, friends… Favourite food, drinks, actors, brands…… It was all good fun.

Its pretty amazing to see how some have changed so much over the years, while others look like they have no aged a single bit. I was rather stunned by a particular someone’s transformation, especially since it was someone I had least expected. I’m not going to name names or say if the change was for the better or worse, but I am pretty shocked.

Well, I guess 10 years is a long time and maybe I need to be more open to the fact that people do change. Perhaps, to them, I have changed too! Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to another gathering and hopefully this time it will not take another 10 years.
