25th March, 2008

Today was me and dear dear anniversary for being together for 4 months. However even though its only 4 months, I feel as though we been together for a long time already. Anyway I love you lots lots dear. Muacks!

Today met up with dear dear after finishing practising for COM 101 presentation the next day. Took much longer than expected and sorry to my dear dear who waited for me. We decided to go vivocity and at the same time can pick up my GV card there.


We just walked around vivocity for a while and grab an early dinner at pastamania.

But seriously I found the food very ordinary and not as spectacular from what I heard from other people. In short not really worth the prize. I ordered a garlic bread, alfredo, and unagi pasta for us.

Garlic Bread

Alfredo Pasta

Unagi Pasta

After dinner we went over to the starbucks downstairs to wash the food down with some coffee. Managed to find ourselves a very nice seat in the house =P

Sofa Seats!

Me and dear dear shared a venti (large) cup of Mocha Frappacino with Whipped Cream.

Mocha Frappacino!

Before we head back, we bought 2 bags of cookies from candy empire. Looks nice but as for the taste I guess we have to find out XD

After that we went back to my place where we placed our NDS together. And guess what I finally completed Pokemon Pearl and also my Pokedex of 150 pokemon. But now I unlocked national dex and many new pokemon. And it gonna take a while more to continue on with the game. I like how pokemon game always have so much depth XD

Pokemon Pearl Completed!

Before I end this part on our anniversary. Look at what my dear dear got for me. Dear got for me grow in the dark stars and she even pasted them on my wall herself in a heart shape. And it grows with a nice blue colour at night. I like it very much! Unfortunately my camera is not good enuff to capture the nice blue glow =X I love you to bits my dear *muacks*

27th March, 2008

Went to play mahjong with Ben and Ben again. We ta pao after our class and went over to my place. We played from around 11am all the way till 2.30pm which Ben Chen had to go back to school.

So I went downstairs to play table tennis with Ben for a while, my dear dear decided to remain at home to play her NDS. Anyway, Chen took longer than expected so we ended up having dinner near SIM in order to save time. Went to Nee Ann Poly Alumni pines restauraunt. =P

Nice Ambience Right? =P

Anyway since Ben Chua won at Mahjong, he kindly treated us to dinner =) Me and dear dear shared a cup of lemonade and as for the main course. She had teriyaki bento set while I had chicken chops for dinner.

Teriyaki Chicken Bento

Chicken Chop

After dinner went back to my place to wrapped up our mahjong session. Its been a long filled mahjong day. I did not count how much I lost exactly but I guess it was somewhere around 20 dollars for the both of us. *sigh* lately I have not been having much luck in mahjong. My dear dear said that love life and gambling is directly opposite from one another. That means if you have a sweet love life, you wont do well in gambling XD

Before I end this post, for my friends who reads my blog.

I am throwing my 21st Birthday Party at my condo's function room (opposite chinese garden mrt) The party would start from 6.30pm onwards. Do let me know asap so I can plan for the food if you are coming. Can leave me a comment here or msn/sms me. You know my contacts =P

Its been over a week since my last update. Wow! Cant believe that man, but I have been really busy with school juggling projects, assignments and not to mention finding time to spend with my lovely dear dear.

Anyway some updates for acadamic work, my midterm result is out for COM 101 and GEO 333 and I fare 76/100 and 45/100 respectively for them. The COMs results was unexpected because I was basically smoking throughout the exam, thanks god the essay helped me with a 19/20. And as for GEO 333, I kinda expected it since I have no idea how to go about studying for the exam. But I was comtemplating to resign from the subject and lose my school fees if I failed badly, but with just a botherline fail I think I shall try to strive on =X

But one thing that I am really proud of is that, I finally completed my COM 101 blog in time before the deadline. I feel that I put in quite a bit of effort for it and I hope the teacher could give me a good grade. Anyway comments are appreciated from anyone, doesn't matter if you take communication studies or not =P

And now for the meat of this entry, lets have a whirlwind history of what happened for the past week or so.
7th March, 2008

Went to Jurong West to have dinner with my family and dear dear came along as well. Had a delicious meal as usual with durians as desserts. But no durians for me, dislike the taste, just help dear dear to peel open the shell =P Anyway here is what we had for dinner!

Tofu


Chicken

Seasonal Veggie


Frog Legs

Cereal Prawn

13th March, 2008

Had school for only 1 and a half hours today and after our class, went to Nee Ann Poly alumni restauraunt for lunch. We choose that place because it is the only place that doesn't care about us playing poker cards so we could play our bridge in peace.

Had laksa for lunch, taste not bad but the prawn seems funny XD

Laksa! Yummy!

Than after lunch decided to play mahjong at Ben's house. Four of us include Ben Chen, Ben Chua, me and dear dear. Send both Bens over to his house first while I went to pick up dear dear. Ben's house is only like less than 1km from my dear dear place.

And I encoutered this stubborn bird which refused to move away from behind my car. And it even tried to bite me when I shooed it away =(

Looks like a stubborn old bird (but not idea how to tell age for birds XD)

See, it tried to bite me, lucky for fast reflexes *tsk tsk*

Anyway after playing mahjong for a few hours, me and dear dear lost a grand total of $15. Chua was lucky and self touch 2 times with max tiles. There adds up to winning $9.60 from the 3 of us per round. But at least he treated us to Macdonals nuggets. Looking forward to play more mahjong again =P

14th March, 2008

As usual, friday night dinner with my parents and of course my dear dear came along =) Had dinner at Cafe Cartel, had yummy seafood macoroni. But the more you eat, the less tasty it gets, I guess its cause of an overload of cheese XD But nonetheless, I still find it very nice!!

Seafood Marcoroni!

After dinner went to walk around Bukit Panjang Plaza. Than I saw this at the NTUC there and I simply must buy it!!!

Jellybeans!!!

I simply adore jellybeans! And when I saw that this actually has 30 flavours I was like wow!!!

A list of all the flavours!

TA-DA! My jellybeans! Muahahaha!

Actually some of the flavours do taste very nice, while other just taste plain weird. Reminds me of Bertie Botts every flavours beans from Harry Potter! LOL!!! Sure had fun eating them =P

18th March, 2008

Went to IMM and ate Pepper Lunch for Lunch. Frankly speaking, it was my 2nd time eating at pepper lunch and I always found the concept interesting of cooking yur own meat even after they have served it to you. I had steak while dear dear had chicken =P

Steak!

Teriyaki Chicken!!

Seriously, we been to IMM so many times that seriously there nothing much to walk around. We just go there because parking is free for the first three hours XD

20th March, 2008

Went to Nee Ann Poly Alumni again for lunch. This time I had soft shell butter crabs. And I must say that it is very delicious. Come as a bento meal for just $7.50, its a must try!!!

Soft Shell Butter Crabs! Must Try!!

And it rushing COM 101 Project for the weekend. Yay! =(

22nd March, 2008

Went to Lot 1 for dinner with dear dear and we had korean food at the food court. Been wanting to try this for quite some time but keep having second thoughts. Well this time decided to try it for once.

Kimchi Soup!! Wahaha!

Seriously taste not bad la. But I still prefer things which has more flavour in it like the Ban Mian or the Kway Chap there XD Well as for my dear she had her favourite Bibibap!

Bibibap!

And lastly for some misc stuff. You know those big sweet land things at the arcade. Me and dear dear went to play it the other day since we saw that there is just bars before it hit the jacpot so we thought there is a high chance. But who knows, the checker is rather faulty and unless some heavy sweets fall on it, it wont activate, and it doesn't help that most of the sweet is mentos. But finally after $25 dollars, we bag this lil cutie home. (We didn't want to give up halfway thus the amount of money spent =( )

Am I Cute? I cost $25!!! MEEEP!

And as for neopets, I managed to get myself a new trophy at the game The Castle of Eliv Trade. Took me around 2 hours to get it but I was afraid I would game over before I actually broke the high score. The game works like this, you have to solve analgrams of words for 10 points each. Each time you guess a word wrongly, you lost a life, lose all 3 lives and it is game over. As my score got higher and I was down to my last life, I was really nervous. Thankfully I managed a 2nd place trophy in the end =)

TA-DA Made it to the high score table for 2nd place trophy =)

And I also managed to aquire a few other trophies to add to my collection. Does my user lookup looks nice now? =P

Hard Earned Trophies!!

And than, there was a neopets plot going on about sloth invasion over neopia happening in the space station. After spending countless hours on it, I am glad that I qualify for a 2nd best rank trophy for the plot. Hated the decoding part of the plot the most where you have to decode messages made from 20 different modifiers and you had to arrange 3 of them in a order to decode the message. 20 messages and countless combinatons to try, took me many hours of my time. But my hard work is paid off for this plot. Resistance Commander! =)

Really is hard to get back to studying after stopping for 2 years. I seem to be lagging behind in my work a lot. For COM 101 I need to do a total of 7 blog entries, only done 3 so far. Dateline is this Friday. =( Than for GEO 333 I am supposed to submit chapter reviews from time to time with a final of 4 reviews. Done none so far.

And I don't really like COM 101 at all, the teacher always test our understanding in very confusing manner. My first 2 COM test results is just 60%.
And unless I am mistaken, I am going to fail the one I took today. Mid term results is not out yet and I am not hopful of the result at all, I am think somewhere along the border or a pass/fail.

As for GEO 333, the teacher teaches the subject, but relate it back very little to the textbook. We are expected to make the link ourselves. For a business student it is ok, because after learning about the concepts so long, the link becomes very obvious. But I have no background in business at all. I think can expect to flunk this module. Comtemplating to drop this module now. =(

And for ESL 407, despite my best efforts in churning out essays and journal entries for the teacher. I am always rewarded with C+ to a B+ grade for them. And I only scored 69/100 for my midterm examinations. My problem is grammar. Just hoping for a B grade
for this module. Sigh.

One little bright thing though, I am so glad that I decided to major in Psychology
. I find the things we are learning interesting which makes me more subceptable to new infomation. So far my results for Psychology is very promising. The first 2 tests I had, I have gotten 90% and 80% respectively for them. And for the midterms examination I managed to get 37/40. I only had made 3 mistakes in the mutiple choices out of 30 questions. As for the short answer questions, I got 10/10! So I have already decided to channel most of my effort towards the PSY projects and exams. =)

Sorry for the lack of updates. Still being rather busy, somehow uni life isn't as slack as what people made it out to be. Upcoming for me I have...

Monday - COM 101 Test
Tuesday - GEO 333 Mid-term
Wednesday - PSY 101 Test

I foresee a wonderful weekend ahead of me. Oh joy!
Anyway, recently managed to get some new addition for me Wii.
As mentioned the other time, I finally managed to download Pokemon Snap but I unable to play because I do not have the classic control.


Pokemon Snap!

Well I finally bought the Wii classic control at $30 each which is considered relatively cheap compare to most places which sell it at $39.90 each.

TA-DA! Wii Classic Controllers!!!

Other than Pokemon Snap, I also downloaded another classic N64 game, Mario Kart!!! However the controls is not as smooth compared to the NDS one and I am not getting used to it. Oh well, maybe just need a little time adjusting =)

Mario Kart 64!!!

In addition to this, I also managed to pick up a 2nd hand copy of Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle inclusive of the dancing mat for just $80!!! A brand new one would cost me around $110-$125 so I think I got myself a very good deal. Been enjoying getting a good workout while playing this classic arcade game =)

Than on Friday I went over to Ben's house. His house dam nice la, I look the swimming pool a lot, got mini waterfall one. See see!

But the carpack staircase is very scary. Translucant one, can see all the waty to the bottom, give one a sense that you are going to fall. LOL!

Anyway, went to his place to borrow his Pokemon XD for gamecube from him. But I guess only will have time to play it after the exams next week. Oh well, many games to look forward to after I am free =) Pokemon Snap, Mario Kart 64, DDR hottest party, Pokemon XD!!! Wahahahaha. Shall update again soon ^^

Its been a long time since my last update but I have been really busy for the past week. Up to my neck by projects, research papers, studying for exams. But the good news is now I have 1 less module to take! Finished my GEO 334 final exam last thursday =) So now every tuesday and thursday I will have class up till 10.30am only! Provided the teacher don't extend the lesson of course.

However I am very behind in some other modules. Like I need way more entries for my communication blog, I think I need at least 4 more to be on par with the current needed entries. And I have not submitted any research paper yet for GEO 333 and I need 4 for the whole semester. Better start on these soon =X

Anyway some updates before I get to work again, gonna backdate way back this time XD

19th Feb , 2008

Today is my mother birthday. Went out to westmall's Swensen for dinner. Dear dear came along of course, she can be considered part of the family =) Due to the birthday special, when we get 4 meals, 1 will be free. And on top of that we get a free firehouse icecream for the birthday person.
This is what we ordered!!!


My mother with the Birthday Icecream

And family photo! I just realised that I don't actually take much photo with my family =X

My mother blowing the birthday cake that me and dear dear bought for her =)

Happy Birthday To My Wonderful Mother ^^

23rd Feb, 2008

Went to take neoprints with dear dear at lot 1 again. I really like a few of the one we taken, but dear dear don't really think they are nice. Anyway finally got some to paste on my handphone so I am quite happy!

24th Feb, 2008

Today at night went to some BWC concert thingy because the highlight of the show is that JJ Lin Jun Jie 林俊杰 will be performing. But end up we waited so long with no news of him at all. We just sat down there for 2 hours listening to stupid things about the company which we had no interest in at all.

So after 2 hours we decided to go for our dinner first. Went to KFC to eat and after that went to Carrefour to buy some sushi. Than we went back to see the concert thingy. We went back around 10.15pm and 林俊杰 finally appeared at 10.45 pm. It was a good thing we didn't sit there since 7pm waiting for him to appear sia. Although we already wasted 2 hours doing so =(

At least we get to see 林俊杰 live in person performing some songs. Some of the songs he sang was 曹操, 豆浆油条, 一千年以后, 西街, 杀手,木乃伊,down and much more!! In total the whole thing lasted for around 1 hour, so went home quite satified =)

My camera was too lousy to take any nice photos =X

On the way home, I stop on the expressway for my dear dear to take some photos of the ferris wheel. Lucky at that timing there was not much cars XD

Nice hor, hope can have the chance to ride on it with dear dear ^^

25th Feb, 2008

Today was me and dear dear's 3 months anniversary. Times really files doesn't it, I am glad to find someone who can complete me. And despite the small argruments we have here and there, I hope we can last forever ^^

I bought dear dear a tofu purse and some glittery pens for her present =)

Had a dinner at the food court at lot 1 before we went to watch L: Change the world.

It was a very nice show, but the thing is too bad there isn't anything more about the death note. Just on how save the world from a viral outbreak. Nonetheless it was still a very good movie =)

28th Feb, 2008

Today is my father birthday, met up with dear dear for lunch after my GEO 334 final exam. After lunch we went shopping for a suitable present. In the end settle to get my father shoes from Bata for him to wear casually. The one at lot 1 din have the size so we ended up buying a pair from IMM bata.

Also went to pick up a coffee cake from westmall. Along the way dear dear had a lot of time to play pokemon. Ever since her supercard is spoiled, I have pass my R4 to her so she can play pokemon which she is super addicted with.

Finally she has helped me complete the game ^^

We celebrated my father's birthday at home with a portable bbq. Quite a good spread of food thanks to my mother and it tasted quite good as well. =)

My father with the coffee cake that me and dear dear bought for him =)

Happy Birthday To My Wonderful Father!!

29th Feb, 2008

Play mahjong together with Ben chen and ben chua and my dear dear today at my house. Was very fun but too bad we started late. When Ben had to go for his dinner, we could not even finish one round. =X

After both of them left, me and dear dear was lazy to go out for dinner and I dug around the house and came across discount coupons for pizza hut. So we decided to call for pizza hut delivery.

Had 1 personal Hawaiian Pizza, 1 Ocean Catch Pizza, 6 Drumlets and 2 Garlic Bread for just $20.30!! Quite resonable in my opinion.

I always enjoy eating pizza, but learn not to eat it during the festive period as the standard will drop when they are busy =X

Lastly for misc updates, I downloaded Pokemon Snap for my Wii for US$10.

I always wanted to play this game. But after downloading it, I still need to get the Classic control for wii to play it, went to seow choon just to realised that they sold out on it and have no idea when the next stock gonna come in. Other places were selling the classic control for $39.90 which is insane. If anyone know where I could get a Nintendo Wii Classic Control for less than $35 please let me know. Thanks!

As for neopets, by some luck the labray has zapped my Korbot to Island colour. I usually use the lab ray to try and raise XxEeshaxX stats which it has been doing so for the past few months. But this time it actually zapped her to a rare colour. If I were to buy the paintbrush and paint her island, it would cost me more than 4million dollar. So for now, I shall stop using the lap ray on her and thus XxMeshaxX is borned! She will be next in line to be the subject for the lab ray. Don't worry, no neopets were harmed by the usage of this labray =P

A picture of XxEeshaxX after being zapped to Island colour!
