Roma, Italy

I am in an internet cafe in Rome now trying to transfer all my pictures that i have taken for the past few days into my harddisk. Paris was beautiful but i lost all the pictures that i have taken there after accidentally formatted my camera! I am super sad! =(((((

Thank god all the good scenery at Switzerland made up for everything. I love Switzerland! Rome was supposed to be hot now but it has been raining, making the weather turned super cold! Going to Venice tmr... hope the weather will turn warmer...

Bye for now...

I'm supposed to be at the airport at 5.30am later and i'm still awake reading how to prevent jet lag! The preparation for the europe trip is so tiring... Had been rushing here and there buying all the necessary stuff for the trip and doing last minute planning for the places to visit in UK n Barcelona.

Mum was with me throughout all the frenzy of getting everything ready for the trip. She took care of almost everything from buying the medicines for emergencies to exchanging of currencies for the trip , i really cant thank her enough for it. And Dad was my financial support. And Bro is being put in charged of paying my library fine for a book i lost. =P
Family is still the best! =)

I've just packed my lugguage and God, it's super heavy. All thanks to the clothes that i had to bring for 23 days and the sleeping bag and towel i gotta bring for some of the hostels without blankets. I hope my lugguage dont exceed the maximum limit later.

Hollerback from Bintan!

This is my 1st trip with my longest time friends. The last trip we planned was in sec 4 to stay overnight at Sentosa but i was the only one who couldnt make it! I missed out on all the fun they had on their 1st 'overseas' trip! =(


But heng i never go also la... They were narrating to me how they had a hard time pitching those tents at sentosa and took 3 hours to cook maggie mee in mass tins! hahahaha.... Mass tins leh.. how old school is that? LOL... those were the times when all my pals were all so cute and innocent... hahaha...

Bintan was supposed to be a relaxing getaway but I'm back in Singapore and never felt more tired than before. Serve me right for sleeping so late the night before i leave for the trip. We were supposed to be there for 3 days 2 nights but we came home on the 2nd night because Wendy, Deanne and me had to work the next day... so it was only 2 days and 1 night at Bintan.


Even though we shortened the trip, we felt that it is actually more than enough because there's really nothing much at Bintan to keep us interested for more than 2 days... It is just a place to rest and relax....

Nevertheless, we had quite a bit of fun there snorkelling and playing beach volley. It was our 1st time snorkelling and we actually snorkelled in the rain! We saw lightning and heard thunder while out in the sea and felt quite worried and scared even tough our instructor kept reassuring us ' no problem no problem'. Thank God there were really no problems.


The underwater world was pretty amazing with schools of small fishes swimming among the reefs and corals. Oh we saw clown fishes swimming among the anemones too! And i dived under a little to feel the nemos gliding pass my palm! It was a pity that the water wasnt as clear when it rained. Next snorkelling trip has to be at somewhere with crystal clear seawater! Great barrier reef? heheehee...


Wendy and I had a go for the Indonesian full body massage too... all in the privacy of our own room. 2 indonesian ladies attended to us in our room while we played soft music on the tv and relaxed. =P

We should have exchanged our masseuses. My masseuse was so gentle that i felt like she's tickling me while Wendy's masseuse was pressing so hard on her that she felt like dying. I thought Indonesian massage is supposed to be so gentle and Wendy thought it was supposed to be so painful and both of us kept quiet throughout the whole session! Speak of stupidity!


I'm finally done with photoshopping most of the pictures... Too bad we didnt managed to take pictures of us in snorkelling suits.. we looked pretty funny in the webbers, if that's wad u call them..

that ah tiong cheeko pek kept giving that lecherous look at us. Gross! Stupid ah tiong!

finally reached Bintan after 45 mins

No pictures of us in bikinis will be shown except for this one that looks blur in the water. haha



Food at Bintan resorts are normal resturant prices. There was nothing much in the resort and we decided to visit Pasar Oleh Oleh which is their so-called town. We took free transport catered by one of the restaurants in Pasar Oleh Oleh called Cafe Idol...

Pasar Oleh Oleh has a few shops that is equivalent to that of a small section of bugis village. The shops there sells the same things and they try to differentiate themselves by selling different colours at each shop. As u can tell, it's pretty boring... so we went back to the resort after dinner.


This is taken the next morning... we were alarmed by this ugly creature placed outside the resturant while on our way for our breakfast.

All we could see were lush greenery inside this cordoned glass house. Little did we realised that 2 reptiles were camouflaging themselves inside!



Some photowhoring at the beach before we set off for snorkelling...

Caught the Phantom of the Opera with Huimin on Wednesday. The seats that we got were pretty lousy for 120 bucks. We were at the last row of circle 2 but I felt like i was sitting at the last row in the cinema though there are further seats from the stage above us. I was using a mini binoculars to see the expressions of the actresses and actors. -_- The price to pay for getting the tix 1 day before the show.
Oh well... but i was pretty impressed by the lightings of the production and the use of surround sound and to create an imaginative space in the audience's minds. I thought it was pretty cool.

Friday night was out with momo and gang. The best friend's bf joined us at St James. It was the momo and my first time there and we felt like suaku when we realised that there are many more restaurants and bar other than Dragonfly.

Stephy got us into dragonfly for free but we decided to leave after the band starts playing ‘我的热情！嘿！好像一把火！嘿！' They continued to play and sing many other songs that i think my parents will probably like. Grace and i were pretty surprised to see aunties and uncle shaking their bon bons to the rock and rolll music. Hmmm... maybe i can suggest Dragonfly to my parents to go pator at...Hohoho...

We left Dragonfly to guess where?


Zouko!!!



Sorry Steph, we were really not used to Dragonfly... =(

The gang: missing steph and wan qi.



the momo n me

XYX and CCX

xyx and grace acting cool..

going crazy playing 5 ten... and drinking the disgusting drink

Dean and me were quite a power duo last night.. Grace and Xyx kept losing to us. hahaha...

Xyx drink drink drink... hoho


The wicked company of the night

OMG! It's 3am now and I'm leaving for Bintan early in the morning tomorrow... bedtime now! Oyasuminasai!

Bizarre Coincidences


It has been 1 year since i last saw or heard from you. I have never met you anywhere on the streets. Never would i thought that i will see you again... Not under such bizarre coincidences where we'd meet at the same mall, same restaurant and same cinema but with different partners.

I shook her hand. Her hand felt really soft and a little weak, and somehow at that moment i felt that if i were you, i would have chosen her too. Someone much weaker and more vulnerable... of whom u can protect...

At the exact time last year, i was drowning my sorrow in a club over you... I didnt think that i would shake my ex-rival's hand today like i did. How bizarre...

Hello peeps, sorry for the lack of updates!


For this semester, other than the core modules and electives that i was supposed to complete for my last semester in NTU, i was very much involved in another non-examinable, non attendence required module called EU101 Europe Discovery and Adventure. Aka the europe trip planning. =P

Precious time supposedly to be spent on studying was spent on prowling through websites for the cheapest and best deals for hostels, internal flights, how to get from here to there blah blah... and so just before the exams the hostels accomodation and flights were settled and booked and this was the plan.


14days European Wonder with Topdeck




But during the 'feel bored of studying time' doing research on Europe instead of studying, i chanced upon this budget airline website and found a really good lobang! Return ticket from London to Barcelona £1.99!!!

So in the end... the plan looks like this!


14 days European Wonder with Topdeck + extended 4 days UK (London & Bath) + 4 days Barcelona on our own!

HoHoHO....

The plan looks abit off with Barcelona smack at the side in the middle of nowhere but i reckoned this is the cheapest way to go Barcelona with Ryanair costing only SGD$79 after taxes... instead of going with Topdeck which will probably cost a bomb.

So this will be the itinerary for EU101. I haven had the time to research on where to go at London and Barcelona because an employment agency called me up 1 day before my last paper and told me to work the next day after my exams. Thinking that i can earn some extra europe funds, i stupidly took up this 2 weeks job assignment and started work the next day after my last paper!

It was a wrong choice because i obviously haven played enough after my exams ended. It was a stupid job because

1. I am free most of the time because somehow the people were too preoccupied to even assign me any work even though i kept going to ask them 'so do u have anything for me to do?' (that explains why i can be on msn while at work)

2. I was told to go back to the office even on Labour Day but had nothing to do most of the time

3. today, there was a sudden addition of 3 more people but not enough computers and i suddenly was left with absolutely nothing to do at all and without any computers! No work nvm.. no place to act busy also!!! URGHHHH!!!

They dont give me much work even though they are very busy... I dont understand why they hire me in the first place. -_-


Work and complains aside, i did meet up with my favourite momo and the ex-roommate on last sat at Rochester Park and my 477 peeps on monday for dinner and ktv at our usual hangout Plasma.

Ambience at Rochester Park was good BUT Huimin and i saw a rat scrambling across the garden.. Ewww...

Ktv at plasma was crazy as usual with us having the whole room to ourselves and the usual stupid things we do while singing... From the tiny window in our room at the top, we saw the owner of the pub zao geng like crazy while she was dancing on the bar top with uncles . The way all of us were peeping from the top was pretty funny as the act itself was likened to us watching our parents do bad things.. haha...

Check out our best vocals in the house! HOHOHO....
