Summary for the last week of April '09 to the beginning of May '09.

Monday, 27/04/2009:

Wanna sunbathe (Sentosa. Where else? =D) during the day but 1) Weather's not looking good, 2) Subjected myself to fatigue. Slept on the sofa, TV still switched on. Woke up by some Indian/Singh guy asking for donation for some church stuff (wasn't really paying attention, was still groggy from exhaustion due to interrupted sleep. ZzZ.) Youtube-ed till around evening and went to meet Haur AKA Sakura outside Lot One, CCK. Took SMRT bus 985 for 1 hour odd to Serangoon Broadway for collection of graduation gowns. Both of us had difficulty making our way there, but thanks to Haur's admirable sense of direction, we made it there eventually. Made payments (deposit + rental fee, amounts not disclosed for an apparent reason), then took SMRT bus 966 to Causeway Point, Woodlands, for dinner. Had PastaMania, and Justin came to join us despite having dinner @ home earlier that evening. Apparently he missed us loads so he sacrificed his precious time to meet us (not that he's busy or anything, it's the thought that counts!), lol. That sweet lil' guy.. ZzZ. Did a lil' bit of catching up, and we headed for home. Sweet home.

Tuesday, 28/04/2009:

At 10:30+ AM, had breadfast with sec school mates AKA close friends A & B @ MacDonald's, Teck Whye, CCK. Then it's Mahjong time @ my house. Played 3 person Mahjong, was fun actually. Rules differed considerably from standard Mahjong. Started off badly, cause I forgot a mininum of 5 tais is required to win. I only had 1/2 tais (can't recall, thanks to failing memory). Had to pay total of $16.00 (2 players, each $8.00, ZzZ.). Each player started off with $40.00, I ended off with $35.00, so it was kinda OK. And yes, I played with chips; not real cold hard cash. I told you i'm not one of Bill Gate's offspings or some wealthy being already. Ended @ 5:30+ PM, then had dinner @ PastaMania (again!), Lot One, CCK. Played Pop'n Music @ Arcade afterwards. Few bucks gone. Then at 9:30+ PM, went to close friend A's house @ Bukit Panjang to play Wii. Played Bomberman till we lost track of time and I headed for home @ 1:30+ AM. By foot. Reached home; Sweet home and showered; by then the time is 2.30+ AM.

Wednesday, 29/04/2009:

Will be @ Kluang, Johor, Malaysia. Going to pay respects to grandma (maternal side). And maybe do a lil' bit of "shopping" (mental read: inconvenient disclosure, fear of offending the law *hint*) before returning back to S'pore next day.

Thursday, 30/04/2009:

Back in S'pore, hopefully in time to do some shopping @ Orchard Road! If not, Friday? Afraid I may have other plans.. Also, not forgetting the throng of crowds. Nabei.

Friday, 01/05/2009:

Happy Labour Day yall! Also known as "May Day" or "International Worker's Day", FYI.

Saturday, 02/05/2009:

Skating (most probably East Coast? Time not decided!) and dinner (location not decided either!) with Poly mates! I'm anticipating.. It's been some time since we last seen each other (mental read: last seen @ 11/04/2009)!

Sunday, 03/05/2009:

I shall see.

P/S: Ohmytian! It's 4:33 AM now and i'm expected to be awake @ 6:00 AM to prepare myself.. Maybe i'll sleep in the coach or something, after some nagging from my mom of course. Continue tagging, people!

2009-04-27T01:01:00.006+08:00

There's been so much on my mind which yearn so much to be blogged about, but once I hit the keys on the keyboard, all thoughts jumbled up/gone missing.

Been living my life sinfully. In many ways. XD. Sufficing with an example, i've been a mahjongphile lately. Say, I started from a typical Sunday few weeks ago, and the following week there's been mahjong sessions every alternative days. Meaning Tues, then Thurs, then Sat overnight etc. Siaoness. Played with chips lar, think I so rich meh.

Other days went either by: sleeping, DVDs on the Samsung 40" LCD TV accompanied with a home theatre system (Watching "Mamma Mia!" was good!) , nua-ing in bed reading, more sleeping etc. The so gawddamn typical life of me.

Apart from my "intriguing, exciting, hectic, mind-blowing, sensational, *inserts more chim vocab*" life, here's a digression:

I bought a shitload of books from here and there, of which most are still nicely wrapped (attestable) since like, eons ago (yes, i'm that old, my looks prove otherwise. Haha.). Yet i've been diligently borrowing books from the NLB, with attempts to finish reading them ASAP so I can borrow more, all the while neglecting my new, unread books which basically serve as display purposes. Tsk tsk. The same goes for my DVDs. AND my CDs.

I kinda envy the east-siders. Some of them can drive others for supper and talk cock etc. Thus they catch up and bond with each other. That's the way it should be. Us west-siders (north-westers, to be precise) are not so fortunate. For one, there's no free transport (mental read: cheapskate). LOL. Two, I don't know how to explain. It's more of feelings than words, jewnoewhaddamean?

At times when i'm farking bored outta my mind, I ~~daydream~~ reminisced about the good O' times (mental read: chalet, OITP @ Shanghai, recent Genting trip). Of course all these applied only to Poly mates lar, including sec school mates would be lil' irrelevant, and majority of yall wouldn't much care or be interested in.

If I were to continue living my current state of life, my brain's gonna atrophy. Mahjong shall mindfark me cos I can think, think, think. And people, PLEASE, flood the tagboard, and CO-IDENTITY, if you see this (which I think you most probably will!), B-L-O-G! Anything will do, your work, your ranpical thoughts, your not-so-typical life etc. ANYTHING! I think i'll not be able to blog like this for a long long time, my civilian life's gonna cease. Coming 11-06-2009, i'll be ENLISTED. Next chapter of life shall unfold. And I don't think i'll entice people with entries of how I spent my wonderful life in Pulau Tekong, the "lovely" place. ZzZ..

So, meanwhile, I shall over-enjoy my life (approx. 2 months left?). Haha. I'mma immerse myself with more Mahjong, DVDs and perhaps few more K and sunbathing sessions. =(. And of course, I must start working out already. Nabeichaokubai.

P/S: I'm uber slow! Currently hooked on Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold". Dig that!

2009-03-29T02:03:00.007+08:00

Friday (27/03) went like this: Wanna sunbathe @ Sentosa but overslept. Damnation. Met up with Alvin, Chels, Khai, Mun @ Paya Lebar station (time: ~5.00 PM), so we could go visit Shir @ her house. Alas, she had fever when she was about to be discharged so we had to visit her @ SGH instead. When we saw her, she was kinda asleep, and Mun could not recognise her. I could though, to a certain extent. So, she woke up and we asked her some questions that could be answered easy by a few "nods", "shakes" and "gestures". She couldn't talk, couldn't laugh.. But at least she could ask/answer questions by texting us on her phone if she wanted to. She looked kinda pale too, and her face was puffed up (was puffier immediately post-operation). Felt a lil' sad and pitiful seeing her @ that state, but it'll be worthwhile, she'll definitely look even prettier in a few months time (not that she was bad looking pre-op., DUH..)! Hope she's glad that we went to visit her, keep her company so that she won't be effin' bored and all; i'm sure she appreciates it right, buddeh! Feng, Aaron & Justin came at a later time, due to respective reasons, with the exception of Qi Lu, who came twice before and after we arrived. Bings was also with him before we visited Shir. The least he could do was to text and inform me of his decision, is it that hard to accomplish?! Sorry, but that wasn't very nice NOT to reply. This applies to others whom i'd texted as well but i'm not naming names. I'm just nice that way =). We then went to Burger King (time: ~8.00 PM) initially for dinner (with coupons). Alvin queued up in front of him, and presented the coupon. Lil' did we know the coupons were defunct. Major ZZZ. Left and had cheap fishball noodles/mee-pok instead. Qi Lu then left and Me, Alvin, Chels, Feng, Mun went to The Mind Cafe to unwind (we're busy people. NOT! Except Feng lar. She's working. Just trying to sound profession-ish LOL.) Played till ~11.30 PM and we're all kinda worried we'll miss the last bus/train and stuff.. Only i'm the unlucky one though, last train terminated @ KRANJI station. What The Bloody Fark. Kinda freaked out at the thought of having to ~~bloody~~ cab home, not enough money, wasting money, borrowing money from friends etc. Let me digress a lil'. Money Money Money. The root of all evil. One sad fact we all know and have came (OR trying to. OR en route) in terms with IS: without money, go to hell. Haha! Bulldust. Find a better quote yourself. Or something. Back on track, I alighted @ Orchard station in hopes of finding the bus stop for NR3. Luck was on my side so.. Still, maybe, just maybe, the fare was a lil' overpriced lar huh.. $3.50 leh.. Like the usual Bus 190 except that it operates @ zombie hours. Poor lil' me reached home @ 1.00 AM. Hallelujah.

ONNNN a side note, I wanna sincerely express my gratitude to the following, not taking into consideration whether you peeps know or don't =) AND, just to be fair, inclusive of those belated wishes:

Greetings people. Yes, it's RAVEN. After like, gawd-knows-how-long!? Been bloghopping and realised that NOONE (at least I think) had posted details on the recent chalet @ NSRCC. That got me thinking: "why so?", and my guesses are probably due to:

1) PROCRASTINATION. Major problem for me here, and I figure it's normal, everyone succumbs to it too. Trust me, bloghop around and you'll see that the blogs are not updated as regularly as before..

2) INSIGNIFICANCE. I know, this chalet's missing certain critical "elements" such as DVDs, Karaoke (only applies to NSRCC), night activities.. Or is everyone's kinda over the excitement of having another chalet, spending time with friends under the same roof for 3D2N already? Afterall, we'd been to 3 chalets before, other miscellaneous activites include: Miss Isabel's wedding @ M'sia, OITP @ Shanghai, Night cycling @ Bedok-Changi and overnights @ various places. Kinda sad ain't it, this could perhaps be the last chance to be together, and yet some of us weren't particularly thrilled about the chalet..

3) IT'S TOO EARLY TO JUDGE!! (Ya right, chalet was over on Wed, and it's Fri now. Please prove me wrong. Update!!)

Anyways, here's some highlights on the 3D2N chalet (09-11/03/2009):

09/03/2009:

Went to buy some groceries @ Bedok's Sheng Siong (and FairPrice also?) to last the entire duration at chalet. Alvin, Chelsea, Jun Yu, Kar Mun, Khai Tuck, Mei Lun, Shi Ling, Yu Feng and I (seriously late, not surprising) was there. The sky did not take pity on us, it rained reasonably heavily. After checking in and settled down, we went straight for a game of Monopoly. Alvin emerged as the grand champion lar, of course. He pretty much got what he wanted, which was to trash all our arses.. Yay for him, lol. Karaoke videos which I burnt (for singing sessions which were made impossible thanks to those farkin' NYP kids) were played for background sounds. Then, some played MJ and it was BBQ afterwards (with MJ sessions simultaneously). Khai Tuck started the fire. Late in the night we played some everyone-sit-in-a-circle games: Thigh-slapping and number multiples games. The forfeit for Number multiples game was pretty horrid, it was a concoction of various thingys made into a drink, and I had to drink two mouthfuls. Everyone took turns showering and majority turned in for the night while the rest continued to "survive" through the night, with the help of MJ, of course.

10/03/2009:

TV, MJ, and steamboat + hotplate pretty much concludes the day. Alvin, Chelsea, Qi Lu and Shirlene gambled with money and I suppose Qi Lu won the most. Steamboat + hotplate was conducted in 2 sessions, with Aaron, Jia Haur, Jun Yu, Justin and Khai Tuck at the second session. Arnold came directly from camp to join us for chalet during the first session and he brought some Goreng Pisang along with him. How nice!! Halfway through the second session there was a birthday surprise for the March kids: namely Yu Feng and I. Surprise surprise indeed! I kind of know it was coming for me also lar, but nonetheless i'm still touched! After a birthday song and some wishings, some of them sprayed party sprays and snow sprays all over us birthday kids and others as well, the top layer of the cake also kena-ed, but I still eat it anyway lol. While clearing up the remains of the party sprays, Alvin came up with the idea of pouring water over Kar Mun, which leads to me (willingly drench myself due to the overwhelming stench of the snow spray), Shirlene, Chelsea and Alvin being drenched eventually as well. Alas, we failed to drench Khai Tuck and Qi Lu, but, oh well. Throughout the night, majority of us spent the night in the girls' room to chitchat, with everyone ended up sleeping except me, Yu Feng, Shi Ling and Zihao. Me, Jia Haur, Qi Lu and Yu Feng played MJ till morning, with Zihao taking over Qi Lu sometime during the session. Mei Lun slept on the sofa, poor her.

11/03/2009:

Day of checkout!! After MJ, Aaron (woken up), Yu Feng and me began clearing up the Bungalow to prepare for checkout. Aaron, Arnold, Yu Feng and I played DaiDee while people began to wake up and prepare themselves for checkout. After checkout, we took pictures and waited for the damn shuttle bus to drop us off @ Tanah Merah station, which we then walked to somewhere for Roti Prata + Murtabak breakfast. After eating, some continued chatting and I was basically 3/4 dead. We then parted our ways (Kar Mun @ Kembangan stn, Arnold, Alvin and Chelsea @ Raffles Place stn and Yu Feng @ Tiong Bahru stn) and @ Dover station, Mr. Wang boarded the train!! What a coincidence.. He was on the way to somewhere which I wasn't paying attention, so pardon me. Had a short chat with him and Mei Lun, Shi Ling and Mr. Wang alighted @ Jurong East station. Then there was 3: Jia Haur, Justin and me. Alighted at our respective stations which I can't be bothered to type out anymore. Lol.

Overall, although I would say this chalet doesn't end with a big bang, and not exactly a perfect closing chapter of DBT/22's 3 years of polytechnic life, still, it's memorable. Doesn't matter if there's no DVDs to watch, Karaoke to belt out, enough sleep etc; it's each and everyone of us being there; it's our our presence that matters. Thanks to everyone for being there; Heriyanto for making it for 1 night, Fu Da for the second day, and Arnold for making it from second night till checkout. Also, immense thanks to the guys, particularly Aaron, Jia Haur, Justin and Khai Tuck for getting the birthday card for me. And to consider the trouble you guys had taken to get me the card, thanks once again!! Also, big thanks to Kar Mun for the initiation. I'm so glad I've known you Blackie!! Lol. I hope and hope and hope once again we can keep in contact with each other. I know, action speaks louder than words right?? All right, I shall not go all emotional and stuff, afterall, there's still Graduation Day.. ONLY THEN, it's time to get emotional.

P/S: Yet another Friday the 13th.

2009-01-25T00:51:00.002+08:00

FYP's OVERRRRR officially!!

but aiya. din realli have much feeling. i donno why. haha. think i din do quite well eh. the questiions was rather difficult.

felt quite disappointed with myself actually. for not being to answer most of the questions. but its not realli my grade tat i am worried about. i'm just afraid that i will disappoint dr liew coz i'm like always the one who asks so many questions. so maybe i would know more of the stuff. but apparently, the truth is not that.

anyway! its over le. gotta move on and continue to aja aja fighting! still got many school work tat i've not done. coz i usually push all these away and focus on fyp. now that fyp's over, shall get back to those work again le. after chinese new year, of course. haha!

2008-12-12T23:38:00.002+08:00

Now, I owe this to Sheen & Chels, who owed this to Ros!! a.k.a Nenek.. LOL

10 weird things/habits people don't know about me (know also put lar):

No. ONE: My MUST-HAVE condiment - soya/soy sauce. Needs it for Yong Tau Foo, Ban Mee, Steamboat etc. I can even add to plain rice to enhance flavour. Otherwise, I would grumble/complain/nag on and on about how bland my food is. Me poor liver. I know.

No. TWO: I SPLURGE on books, clothes and ESPECIALLY CDs, DVDs. I can even spend >$200 but will not open my books/CDs/DVDs for months and months.. for gawd-knows-what reasons. Maybe I'm just plain lazy. =P

No. THREE: I prefer Ketchup over Chilli now, since after the OITP in Shanghai, China, my endurance level for spiciness plunged to a new low.

No. FOUR: I think that Tabasco® Sauce used for pizzas/pastas etc. stinks like rotten socks. =X

No. FIVE: I can seriously sleep for up to 12 hours on a particular day, if I'm friggin' bored outta my ass.

No. SIX: I did Chinese Opera once (just ONCE, mind ya) for a CNY Performance or something (can't remember) back in Sec. Sch.

No. SEVEN: I like to memorise chim Scientific words, the more chim, the better! Pseudopleuronectes americanus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa provided I know what they are lar

No. EIGHT: I know all (or almost all) of the MRT stations name in Chinese. That excludes the Circle Line and LRT lines of cos. "No Life" you say? Thankiew.

No. NINE: Just like Feng & Nenek, I can memorise lyrics to songs then notes. Maybe it's the melody that helped, I dunch know.

No. TEN: Erm, HAPPY CRIMBO in advance!!

The only "lucky" person I'm choosing for this is.. ARNOLD!! LOL. Since he said he quite free I'm giving him opportunity to kill time. *Evil laff*

2008-12-12T20:30:00.007+08:00

OK, clarifications first to satiate your curiosities..
Reason why ME and KAR MUN created this blog is cos:

She knows nuts about this whole blog template editing thingy (Sorry ah MUN, I'm not that great either so.. =))
I'm sucha lazy bum/procrastinator, this blog has a higher tendency of being updated with MUN around. Saves you people the trouble of tagging "Update!", "Blog more!" etc. Both parties benefit! (i.e. Bloggers and Blogders)

Anyway, it beats having two brains to update rather than one right!? More interesting than my old one mah..

Also, credits goes to FENG and MING SI (a.k.a Shir, LOL I like calling her that) for helping out in any way!

SOOO people, stop asking questions and re-link away!! Change the link name to Raven+Mun/Raven&Mun whatsoever la.. No tsk-ing/but-ing etc. you hear!! It's not like I'm asking you to prove trigonometric functions or equivalent..

Thankiew!!

P/S: Dunch complain it's dull, simplicity is the new perfect (Hence simplistic lar)! "BLACK N' WHITE - WE LIKE!"
