KL Trip a very belated post.. post is very photo intensive, yup anyway the month of december had been really super fun, all this especially with the company of them..
finally! after months of planing and anticipation, we are on our first holiday together.. in fact the idea had been around for a long time already since we were way back in poly.
so here we go.. leaving singapore for kl on the 19 for the 4 days trip
immediately after checking in, we headed straight to Jalan Bukit Bintan for shopping lol.. the entire place there is almost exactly the same as singapore's orchard road with shopping malls very similar in nature with ours.. Pavillion is to Takashimaya as Time Square is to Queensway/Far East Square.. Prices there are generally the same too although the exchange rates helps alot.. But like all shopping trips.. its the hidden bargains and discounts that gives it all its thrills.. heh..
Perhaps cuz i had alot of things i wanted to buy.. I bought a new pair of shoes, cds, books, toys and more.. lol.. Lots of bargain to look out for when ya in KL. Chinatown or petaling street has alot of fake goods.. but very cheap! Sungei Wang and BB Plaza, on of the malls in Jalan Bukit Bintang, has a mixture of real and fakes which are also great bargains.. Look out for the big chain of sport jersy shops(real) and victoria music centre(also real) which sells really mark down CDs and soccer jersys.. Kinokuniya at KLCC also has a wide range of books which are slightly cheaper den SG.. I been there twice and they also carry books before we do..
All in all we did nothing but shopping and shopping.. oh fishspa and kbox too at time square! :D
On the last night, we all decided to dress to our nines and head over to the chic Traders Hotel's 33th Storey Sky Bar for drinks to cheers and view at the amazing Twin Towers..
Day out last wednesday.. Suntec (Window Shopping) --- Victoria Concert Hall (SPSB MD32)

Met up early with sihui as I was on off that day.. den since free so followed her looking for xmas gift at suntec. end up cannot find what she was looking for so we had ice cream at swensons followed by phototaking near the fountain. :D
We then head over to VCH for Spsb Musical Delight 32!
fell in love with the 3rd movement of james barnes 3rd symphony
OKay.. in another few more hours I will be away in Malaysia with Mengchee,Chuanfoo,Wanli,Shujing and Sinyee.. Cant wait!!
Just came back from my unit's MTL BBQ/Cohesion at ECP.. Really glad that everyone who could make it was there even with the slight mix up in timing and stuff.. The cohesion was pretty fun and I think we were just within budget! : D
Coincidently.. A very close friend of mine is also flying of today to Oregon for half a year for studies.. All the best ya? and you will be missed dearly..
Kk.. gtg! Byes!!

The "I Am BACK" Post
My Gosh.. I haven been blogging in ages.. Its been so long.. i think that this little corner of the www really had cobwebs lol.. Despite the constant urging of my friends who faithfully (thank ya) reads sobrandom, i just don't have the drive or time to update the blog. Perhaps its the fact that there was really nothing interesting to blog.
October - As usual, the month went busy awfully slow, tiring and boring. My birthday month was plague with army duties, sweeps and burnt weekends. Work Work Work!
10 Nov - Finally after not meeting up with them for such a long time, the gang met for lunch at Big Splash. Under my suggestion! :D Cuz of my army details, i travelled by ECP quite often and kept passing by the newly renovated Big Splash. Wanted to explore the place a bit more but it was raining that day.. in the end we decided to just stay in Sushi Tei. So we celebrated our oct&nov babies birthdays all at once heh.. after that we then headed to TCC at suntec to discuss on our KL Trip.
16 Nov - Avenue Q the Musical! Finally.. after waiting for so long I got to watch the musical with Jesmine, Mei Fong and My Sis.. haven met Jesmine for sometime so it was nice to be able to catch up with her.. :) The musical was fantastic!! very obscene and yet very relatable as well.
28 Nov - Watched Cape no.7 with Sihui.. Suddenly decided to call her out and lucky she was free to join me for dinner. Movie was also unplanned but since we were at north point we decided to check out what shows were showing. Lucky her.. she watched almost everything available 'cept City of ember and Cape no.7. The movie's actually really good and its themes are really heartwarming. Makes me wanna go to Taiwan for a holiday..5 Dec - Natasha's 21st Birthday was a blast.. It feels good to be around people who simply likes you just the way you are and enjoys being around with you. Anyway.. Nat just came back from melbourne and she invited the few of us over to a very last min 21st party/sleepover at the grandcoptorn hotel.. And as usual the Musical Bunch are a fun bunch of people to hang out with! : )
sleepy heads at the sleep over
Happy 21st Nat!!
6 Dec - Yuying Secondary Passione III
The performer inside me has been screaming let me out for a long time and at last i'm back on stage.. Playing for the Yuying Alumni Windshas brighten my day for the past weeks. The band has changed so much over the pass years and i'm happy for them. Come to think of it, it's been almost 10 years since my music journey with YYCB started in 1999.. heck that i was the oldest(strikeout)eldest member playing that night.

As The Cars Races By.It suddenly dawn to me that F1 is finally in Singapore. All the preparation, planning and hype about F1 and now it's really in Singapore. There were definately many things to improve, such as the attitude of the volunteers and the various amenities such as food stalls & toliets. But it was definately fun to be there la.. lol Inside shots of the F1 circuit park.
I damn wanted to get a Ferrari race cap but it was really expensive.. zzz
Oh I guess I'm kinda overworked, fever for a week, left eye twitching.. cuz right after F1 we had alot of paperwork to settle and some of the guys were on leave. Which kinda left the rest of us doing alot more duties and details.
Had to take off to see the doc and since I was at AMK polyclinic, I decided to go borrow some books for the weekend to read as I'm doing my camp duties.. Borrow 2 books, the one below and another one titled "Why cant i .... in ...." haha.. Just for the fun of it la.. but the AMK library is a really nice place to study.
Lol.. for my December Holiday!
Wanli, Shu Jing and Sin Yee.. For your benefit I'm jump starting this chapter for our Malaysia Trip! Sorry guys.. My gosh, Its already Oct 10 which is roughy two more months to it.. really excited! October also means my blog gonna be a year old, and so am I.. but I'm kinda dreading it la.. dunno, I just took a long weekend for that week.. to rest thats all..
Will blog again when I come back from camp.. ciaox
haha.. finally a proper entry after almost three months.. well yups, haven been blogging cause of all the busy army schedules and other more important things to do beside blogging. Actually its more like to lazy to blog hehe.. alright la quick update on life!
Highlight of the week! Kinda got my first bomb activation thus week, a WWII war relic was found at a construction site and the team from my unit were there to verify it. Wasn't involved initially but was ask to help out, so yup i tagged along and got the chance to witness the bomb first hand. After which we were then escorted by police out of the site to the clearing area. So cool la.. it was even reported on the news..
Class Chalet Every now and then, without fail my dearest classmates from poly year 1 would always meet up or plan a chalet together. Its always conforting that despite all our crazy schedules, hectic lifestyles and unhappy works days, we always will have each other to lean on.. Looking forward to our KL Trip in Dec! : D
Timbre Music Fest on Campus I went out with jesmine to watch timbre music fest at NUS during one of my nights out.. 2359 so yup i travelled from changi all the to clementi to join her, gave her a bag of Amos Cookies lol.. Anyway it was really fantastic that night, there was free beer and performances by local and overseas acts. We always wanted to try Timbre since our first outing to the Art House previously, finally we did! Darn thing was that we both din win any of the lucky draw prizes they had that day.. Macbook Air~ ...
CFG Ang Mo Kio West Chapter Friendship Gathering went on really smoothly.. Host for the event was me and my dear sister. We did practice a bit the days leading up to it and Sis was pretty worried as she had to do her role in chinese while i got away with english. Due to the packed schedule and me and my sister great chemistry on the spot, the entire CFG felt like a rock concert! Jia you all the other chapters!! Let our lives shine with absolute happiness!
F1 Participation Well The formula one race is just round the corner and i'm really exicited to be doing army ops for it. Knowing that I will be involved, i did some read up on the teams and stuff. For dummies.. the Singapore F1 GP will be the first street night race and will be thru the city. Some of the seniors said ops going to be boring but hey! I'm sure the excitement and atmosphere that day will spill over to us!
There so many things I wanna do over the weekends. Maybe due to the boring everyday schedule I kinda get frustrated at things too.. There was even a week that I missed two auditions and I been wanting to go to my poly and sec school alumini band pract. I seriously missed the performing side of life! I want people who understands and support my asprirations too..
Okies dens.. take care blog and I shall visit again..
