bondue appreciation night last thursday at rain bar at dempsey. finally got to go there after hearing so much raves about it. i like the entire setting and ambience of the place, perfect for a simple chillout with friends, perhaps even better for a romantic night out for couples lol. the only thing i have against the place is prob the inaccessibility.

the run2 facis.

vwo execution today where one of the activities was the exciting egg drop challenge which i never had a chance to do during ltb. it was great seeing how the students were so enthusiastic about building their structures! the 4 teams with their proudly-built structures; the 2 groups on the right succeeded in cushioning the fall of the egg!

how we are all different yet the same.

join the grumpy club.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me.

such a teenage angsty song, i used to think, but somehow it always pops up in my head whenever i'm having one of those mood swings.
haven been in the best of moods these days, part of which is attributed to the endless readings/reports due, no thanks to my severe lack of discipline (wasting most of my time noggin and sleeping) which causes everything to be left to the very last minute. it doesnt help that on top of school, i have other stuff to worry about, no thanks to my mind which likes to complicate things in the messiest way possible.
seriously, i'm bringing all this upon myself.

yay i did it!

vilage.



ice cube.

seletar reservoir.

my latest obsession - macro photos!

ms clarity's
ser's mud ooze dessert.
my chicken cordon bleu which was MM :)
went to msclarity's with ser yesterday and had a great few hours of non-stop talking, from relationships and people to the juicy vjgossips we nv knew back then to random stuff like dirty people LOL.

the not-so-kind laolin whom i still like anyway lol.
we were just saying how people tend to change over time, due to whatsoever reasons. but i guess it cld also be that perhaps people have not changed, only the passing of time has revealed more of their character and flaws. hmm.

yay i finally got to have my cookies and cream milkshake at billybombers :) but omg the run's this coming sunday and i havent ran in months. great.

photos from the past 2 days!

dinner at sakura on tues after half a day of shopping (did i forget to mention that we quarrelled with the rudest shop auntie i've ever met! UGH! seriously, what happened to manners?) i had twin fish fried rice, recommended by ping and it was MM as usual. ping was happily contented with her crispy noodles. we had fried wantons too! the simple pleasure of enjoying good food and company :)

the two of us squatting by the roadside waiting for aaron to come lol.

candid shot of elvin looking all goon.


tried curduroy and finch for the first time since juls has been raving about it for a long time. i had apple&pinenut crostata which was so-so i thought and oreos milkshake which was quite nice (billybombers's still the best!)

juls opted for a change from the usual egg benedict and ordered pancakes with eggs and hash. the pancakes were fluffy and MM!

as usual :)


mambo!

happy people :)

the midterm break is slipping away fast :(

had formal western dining yesterday. wasn't as exciting as i had expected cos everyone was so cautious with their dining ettiquette that it became more of a chore eating. but anyway, that concluded the finishing touch module so yay!

my female-dominated table group.

pricila, me and dhanes!

us with our instructor, clement ong.

dinner at botakjones with aaron, ken, cherie and bena. we went to the amk outlet but the service wasnt as good as the previous time. nevertheless, the good food outweighs everything else!

the infamous botak burger, which i cant eat :(

bena's steak.

my fish and chips :) MM it lived up to the most popular dish on the menu. i like that they serve it oldschool-style with vinegar; the special tartar sauce was good and it doesnt give you the bloated filling like the other dishes did.

ken and cherie.

bena and me.

chillout at ecp macs with lynnette and juls. it's been damn long since we gathered there; had a good time just crapping and laughing and talking abt serious issues at the same time.

realize how laolin and i tried to imitate jul haha.

the ecp macbuddies :)

nice chillout session at ice cube with ping/ken/cherie/aaron in a longg time.

my midterms finally ended with finance today, which was a lil disappointing to speak of but ohwells, it's done and over! yay midterm break here i come!

do you realize that
what you wanna say more often than not comes out the wrong way;
we tend to insist we're right even though we know that we're wrong;
it's so hard to say i love you and i'm sorry ...

i'm back to utilising my camera now so more photos to come! we finally had our tuesday gelare waffles since school started!

juls and her waffle with caramel fudge chocolate ice cream. MM.

i like my waffles plain with LOTS of maple syrup :)

lynnette wanted each of us to take a super hostile photo. seriously, i give it to you laolin!

ok crew elections just ended and congrats to the people who got in - adrian, mingwen, weiyang, wuhui, junyi, dhanes, rafiqah, zhuming, aiksoon, ryan, luk, weibin, terence, lynn and chong!

of course, that is to say that i dint get in. i wld be lying if i said i wasnt disappointed cos i was a lil actually, especially after i managed to FINALLY make up my mind those few minutes before voting started. i know i've been damn undecided all this while even though i claimed, on many occasions, that i've decided already only for many of you to hear me getting panick attacks soon after and going through the entire deliberation process again arriving at no productive conclusion anyhow lol. the 4-going-on-to-5 hours of elections today was a really mentally tormenting (seriously!) experience cos even while i was sitting there among the other candidates waiting to deliver our election speeches, i was still undecided whether this was what i really wanted to do and the fears i had earlier on came back to daunt me. there were many times i wanted to give up i actually came up with plans to back out of the elections but i cant say how glad i am to have managed to talk myself out of the fears and convinced myself to take up this personal challenge. i gotta say that this must have been the toughest decision of my life thus far! i'm glad i dint back out halfway; i wld have hated myself if i had done so. yup so i stayed on and i'm glad to say that i was able to put away personal differences and voted true to my knowledge of the people's capabilities.

even though i dint get in, i've learnt a lot from this very short experience alone and believe that i've grown and developed as an individual. even though i dint get in, i guess god (figuratively as a symbol of the higher authority up there since i'm not that religious afterall) must have another (perhaps better) plan for me elsewhere so it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise afterall! and now that i dint get in, i can safely move on to pursue other interests in life which (similar to smux) i've always wanted to try but have not had the chance to do so, without any regrets! so for those who dint get in, dont be too affected by the results! at least we know for sure that we've tried our best and havent let ourselves down!

anyway i really wanna thank the people whom have given me really helpful advice and encouraged me to go for it - yingchun, elvin, guangjun and of course dearest serene who have been putting up with my indecisiveness all this while! THANKS LOADS! i cant say how much i appreciate you guys for your efforts!
