Hong Kong and holidays!

Went furthest away from home for the first time! 6 days is a bit too long for a holiday, especially with everyday walking from malls to malls. However, i really missed the days once is woke up after a good sleep back home! Perhaps we are still a bit short in terms of budget for such a long trip, if we got more money it would be more fun!

Mapleleaf guesthouse was cheap cheap, $30 a night! The place was really small but a least it has a heater and tv, plus a nice Miss lee which provided us discounted advance tickets! Thanks to her also we do not have to queue for the cable car on day 1. The cable car trip felt something like a kusu island trip. There got sell nice beancurd! Almost like lao ban...but the fishballs sux.

2nd day was victoria peak! riding the tram was normal, just an uphill ride. Then went to madame tussauds museum! Took lot of pictures! The scary trail was not scary at all! No Beckham too :( He apparently "went" on a tour. After which, decided to go on adventure and find jumbo restaurant...managed to find it but the price is a bit high end. We spent 1000HK for dinner but i think its worth it to be emperor for a night!

Blogger upload pics damn slow...continue in the next post...

Hello blog blog!! long time no see. Last paper to go only!! YAY! which means that no exams for a year! woohoo! This sem is just another typical lazy sem...nothin much to think about. Maybe its much easier to think about hong kong.

So many nice movies this sem, and have only watched one. But that one actually caused me to be awake for a number of nights. Recently realised that the soundtracks with the movie rocks too!

Dunno why im in hall now...maybe because i knew that go home will slp and being here would make me feel more settled. Haha, it always the case that u believe ur actions will contribute to the results but more often than not, its not directly related also. It depends on others too, depends on luck, depends on karma also. See, Life is not within your control so why control it?? Just leave it to someone else and think about the things you enjoy, but not the things u worry abt.

October Celebrations were great!! Ate quite a few cakes this month. All plans worked out smoothly...perhaps except for my own study plans! :x

Tutee failed her promos, tried to persuade her to go poly but seems like she's going to remain status quo. Which brings me to something on my mind. People do not like changes, they prefer to remain in their comfort zone since they have been in it for quite some time and probably has started to get used to it. Maybe this is what our stable Singapore has contributed to it? Our life from young to university is almost expected...aces exams, holidays, prepare for next exams again. An element of uncertainty is missing in our life. For example how exciting it would be if Singapore gets flooded like bangkok and we have some disruptions to our life! I think people would think im crazy but im sure we would have an enriching experience of being tgt with our family, trying to escape from the waters. We would have been more adaptable to changes in our life then! Additionally, we could learn to be happy more without the need of achieving something to be happy!

Recess week!

Recess week was kind of gone in a wink. Tried making cupcakes with dear dear on Friday before going to annual dinner. The cupcakes was decent, only a bit too sweet! We should make more flavours like raisin, bananas and chocolate next time! Suddenly i felt im not so bad at baking! haha. Then it was annual dinner, food sux, games sux. The mc kept talking about appreciating volunteers which kinds of pisses me off. Its more like 160 volunteers forced to pay $10 for appreciation and u telling us this shit? its like taking credit for stuff u didn't do. I will never be there if there's no minimum number of tables la.

both orientation was ok. Youth did it for the first time and i must say it was quite successful. few freshies missed it but those who came enjoyed themselves. The games are fresh and the loose schedule, gambling and BBQ made the camp relaxing and interactive. Luckily we decided to stop the confidence challenge halfway when gust of wind blew, it rained like 10 minutes later. Thankfully, we were in chalet by that time.

On the other hand, RSPID orientation was rush and full of games. Seldom got time to play cards, and we spent some time on travelling. It was OVERNIGHT cycling, i personally felt damn shag. The freshies had fright nite before, should be worse for them. The freshies among them was well bonded because of that but support from the seniors was cui ttm. Wonders how v camp would work out but i might be not ard myself at that time.

Toro got a buddy over the weekend! Its called DA TOU!! cos its head is bigger than loser's already big big head! But i still dunno its a gerger or boiboi...but it like deardear! short hand short legs!

Learnt how to make mooncake today! really very easy eh, dunno why outside have to sell $8 for one mooncake...

Just returned from mayday 3D concert, and i dun have the usually music ringing in my ears after concert feeling. it just wasn't the correct atmosphere, and it feels like watching youtube actually. $20 not very worth it. rather save for their next concert. haha

Busy busy week ahead! its difficult not to watch EPL on a weekend! :x

Recently a lot of free activities! Istana, baybeats, museums....how nice if all these were to continue throughout the year. Then the pockets of all bfs in singapore would be fat! Enough spare for investment! haha. Still havent got my trading account leh, but youth have been eating up some of my money so im still a bit short to invest...oh wells.

Meeting up youth freshies later today. There's so many free thursday for them up till end oct. Kind of shiong to conduct something for them every thurs, but i think its neccessary rather than additional. A group with poor bonding would not show their support for anything in the future.

Sch starts with lab! And have to learn how to apply fourier transform to do the lab...lecture today was abt oscillations, and it happened to be what i taught during my tuition for A lvl physics. All taught in 1 hr! stressed!

Last week of vacation was great! not too hectic but fun enough! JB trip was cheap, simple but not very relaxing. We walked quite a bit and carried tidbits ard JB. The dinner was ok but we were suspicious of it being rotten food. Saw very cute cui kia which made noises when hit! Nice to use it to hit someone's head! :)
Universal studios was super worth it with 20% discount! And i got to save on 3 diamonds! where can find such a deal! heehee^^ We started off with a crazy ride called human on Battlestar Galactica. It feels like Genting Spaceshot when it was coming down, deardear got a bit giddy and hence we went ard looking for a gentler ride. Then i saw the jurassic park roller coaster which looks much more friendlier. We decided to ride on it but im wrong! it turns sharply real fast and the worse thing is we were sitting facing back and our legs were dangling in the air. Poor deardear then got really sick after the ride and we sat down somewhere for a rest. The rest of the afternoon was walking ard, taking it slowly, attraction by attraction, and spending the time looking for PANDA! The peck peck was much cuter! who cares abt the fat panda?? haha. then saw fireworks at night! i think its the fourth time i saw fireworks in these 2 months, a bit sianz of it already...

Time flies and seniors are graduating while new grp of freshies coming in soon with recruitment drive looming next wk! hopefully can get enough volunteers! Then can pang kang soon! :)
