NYE Countdown 2008/2009 @ Vivo

HAPPY 2009!

Went for the NYE Countdown @ VivoCity.
with the party clique: Sz, Randy and Gary.
The crowd wasnt as big as i've expected.
maybe we didnt walk all the way into the heart of the celeb.
or maybe its channel 8's celeb.

Anyway, the company was great!
Funny as ever!!
got to see glimpses of the fireworks from Siloso and Vivo.
HAHA!

chilled around Vivo
nonsensical chat with never-ending laughter.
and cabbed home together in a taxi with KARAOKE system!
the speakers were uber! BASS

and i thought i was the only one until i read kosin's blog post.

yaqin claimed to send a card (which was never received) Lol!
colin made a card (virtually) thats pretty sweet of him. =)

dozens of smses (even from unexpected people. hahaha)
but edmund's sms was really the most original one
it goes like this... ...
Santa cant get car loan this christmas, lost house to lehman and madoff, sold his reindeer and retrenched his elves, but i'm still around to wish you, Merry Christmas!
HAHA

... ...

okay random.
was talking about ipods with Sz.
was telling him "eh how come i never see my cyan-coloured ipod on the apple website"
and he said i can prolly donate to the ipod museum cuz its EXTINCT.
=/
and i thought it was limited edition.

wEeeeeEEEEeee

Met up with Sharyl and Cheryl for lunch yesterday
then went up RE to say hi to Michelle, Wendy, Eliz
they are still funny as ever!

After that went Kino to shop around.
the queue was LONGGGG.
looked around for books while Sz made his way from school to join me in looking for the class gathering $4.30 gift exchange.
Finding a $4.30 gift aint an easy job.
THANKS ARH JIEMIN!
hahaha.

so we walked around Cine and Heeren
He got a couple of cds from HMV.
then walked to Plaza Sing where he had caused a "minor" accident to a passerby.
and it was UBER FUNNY!
epic.

had loads of dumb fun @ spotlight while trying to find $4.30 gift.
Lol.
and well, we found it! =)

Aftermath of all the walking, legs were uber tired upon reaching home.
It's kinda weird, cuz there wasnt any lethargy while shopping around.
WEAK.

THE very much awaited and anticipated POTLUCK

Got up @ 0730am.

I must have been really excited about it.

Helped around in the kitchen with the desserts, the pineapple rice and the cut fruits.

Even though we were supposed to do the cooking ourselves...

budden, other than siewting, the rest sought help from the mothers.

LOL.

Then Pat,Robin,Kosin gang texted that they will be late.

So went to pick up Dan, Gary and Chekhow @ the interchange.

then later kosin, yiyang, shirmain and siewting came along.

then pat and robin.

we played mahjong, tai dee, jenga, cards and THE game.

Kosin they all were watching SAW III.

And Dan was telling all his camp stories.

LOL.

The game was the ultimate.

will just the pics do the talking.

Finally, the group photos.

Lastly, would like to thank them for being such great guests and finishing up all the food!

HAHA.

Lets do it again next year!

lalalalalalalalallalalalala

Today has been pretty fruitful.


Went for lec in the morn w/o Tiff since she's sick.
TC kays!
Lec was alright but a test will be coming up.

Initial Plan.
1) Was supposed to meet Sharyl for lunch (but she's having biz meeting and so it was postponed to maybe Monday)
2) After lunch, was supposed to meet Sz for last min potluck shopping

Change of Plan.
So, met up with Sz for lunch @ AMK Hub.
then headed off to rip from his "PRECIOUS". =)
where we were totally won over by his mighty speakers.
Then he came over my place for me to put down/ pick up some stuff before heading to Giant Tampines to get the remaining Potluck stuff.
Gotten the stuff, then had dinner @ CP Mac.

The Mega Mcspicy was UBER spicy.
got a feeling that i might lose my voice (again).
Noooooooo pls. I need the vocals for tmr and Sunday.
Gulped cups of plain water + vit c tablets.

HANGOUT

HAHA

yesterday was fun with Kosin and Yy.

was online in the morning checking out weekend bazaars (though not something that i do every weekend)

Came across a number of events.

1) B&J Chunk Fest @ Fort Canning Green

2) Fossil Sale @ Suntec Convention

3) Borders Sale @ Expo

4) Fox Sale @ WingTai Ind Centre

5) Blue Canyon Co Annual Sale @ Grand Plaza Park Hotel

And so, pm to date kosin.

So we met up @ CityHall MRT

Went for the Blue Canyon Co. Annual Sale.

A*F, Junk Food, etc.

But doesnt really suit us.

Shopped ard Marina and Citylink for Kosin's shoes (still cant find suitable ones. lol), bought a shirt

Then Yy came along to join us

Dined @ Ministry of Food

The Ramen was good.............

Had senseless fun with the dessert and the "video-purpose"

Went Esplanade, watched a performance and sat @ the roof terrace to talk LIFE
LOL.

The Christmas Tree @ Suntec was pretty!

Let the pics do the talking.

It's kind of a coincidence where the three of us will always meet up during the Christmas season!

Gathering n Appreciation Night

Finally turned up for the Gathering and Appreciation Night on Wed night in school.
Jokko was nice enough to go school early (LOL, i bet he's afraid i fly kite again)
saw a couple of familiar faces - Clara, Jokko, David, Liyi, Chai Lee, Poniman, Eujene, Edmund.
It's kinda funny.

At every meeting we attend, we had to do self-intro and play ice-breakers, cuz we are constantly seeing new faces. It's not that the club's having more and more people joining, it's because of people who are like me - turned up for one and mia the whole month. =x
Anyway, ice-breakers were balls of fun!
We had this egg-protector game where we had to drop an egg from 4th storey and not break it.
Supplied with newspaper scraps, straws, rafia and toothpick.
Much Credits to Colin (who was invited by Eujene for this gathering) and GuCheng for the idea.
we won (much to our surprise too) =)
and Ben's really cute. =x LOL!

Took a bus to dover mrt with chai lee to head home.
Train-ed home then.
Colin was pretty nice to entertain me on my journey.
hahaha

Was randomly telling friends about the Starbucks event.
And so, Sebas was saying he's meeting up his mentor on next wed.
What a coincidence! I'm meeting my mentor too next fri.
hahaha.

Pals in poly having exam frenzy
where sz, yy, pat went bonkers! =x
All the best for the exams!

Ohh.
Just another week to Potluck!
=)
i've yet get the supplies. =x
and am praying hard for sz as well for his ftt.
HAHA.

Talking about coincidences

Last Weekend.
was very well-spent.
bumming ard at home and trying to catch up with the overdued econ tutorial.
how fun.


Went Chomp Chomp for dinner with the cousins (:
and guess who i saw....
I saw Fabian and Sebas!
This is weird, but i've got a feeling that I would bump into Sebas before it really did happened.
Anyway, the food is awesome as ever!
Maybe we should go there for dinner after the potluck thingy.
=)

It's December already.
And according to the UOL study strategies book.
We ought to start doing papers!
omg.
But i'm already in a Christmas mood~
*Soon it will be Christmas Day*
