Night Out_Dear’s First Drive
Went out last saturday with Dear and Wenxing… It was DarDar’s first official drive… He was so nervous! Hahaha.. But still, you did well! =0)
Firstly, we went over to Sengkang and picked Wenxing up… Wenxing brought along 2 other friends and DarDar was so stressed… hahaha.. coz it’s his first time and he was really unsure of his own driving skills… Dun worry dear….
So I proceeded to take my stuffs to place it in the boot… However, to our dismay, he doesn’t noe how to open it!! Hahaha..Wenxing’s frenz started telling him that it was the button near the driver’s seat.. and "BOOM"! THE BONET OPENED!!! hAHAHAHA…! We nearly died laughing!
Anyway, after sending them back, we wanted to go over to Green House… rumoured the most haunted mansion in Singapore.. The moment we reached, we changed our minds… the SLOPE WAS ALMOST VERTICAL! It was about 85 degree! I am not exagerrating! IT’s TRUE! So Wenxing suggested that we abandon the car and walk up the slope ourselves! There was no way I was gonna do that.. not because I was lazy but I was too scared to even get close to the house…! I dun wan anything to follow me… *after my encounter, I became this scardy cat… *
So we ended up in West Coast McDonald’s…. Never knew that such a place existed… but the McDonald was really nice… It had a pond and an al-fresco dining area… reali resort like…
All in all, we still managed to have fun that night.. despite the fact that we registered a 100 click….. eh…………….. yup, 100 click for 1 night………………….. haha……..
Shihua’s Birthday
My beloved Shihua! Haha, yup, we went to celebrate her birthday like 2x! ARGH! hahahaha…
Went to K Box yesterday with Siew Chong, Qing Hui, Yu Jen, Shihua.. Jeff was supposed to come but sadly he had his FYP and couldn’t make it…. Went to the K Box at MS and we started on the buffet…Heehee heehee… Had so much food on the table and everyone was busy eating than singing when I reached… Hahaha…
Well, on a whole we had lots of fun, sang songs together… and the climax was at the point we all sang "Lian Ai ing" by Mayday! Hahaha.. everyone stood and started jumping! Hahaha… And it was at this point that I felt extremely grateful to this bunch of friends… without whom, my life in NTU would have been less fulfilling and definitely less colourful… Thank you guyz… Love you…
Anyway, back to the brithday celebrations… The K Box was the 2nd celebration actually… The 1st was when Shihua and Sharm sort of co-celebrated they birthdays together at St James…
Very grateful to Akeong and Micheal.. Coz I dun usually club and don drink, hence I was extremely hesitant on joining their birthday celebrations… Luckily, Akeong helped me ask Micheal whether I can come in for free that night.. and KUDOS TO MICHAEL! Hahaha, my beloved colleague from ****B***K Kekeke… he allowed me to bring 3 frenx in and I brought Shihua, Jiahui and Margaret in for free… So cool… hahhaaha
Anyway, the place wasn’t fun at all.. I don’t noe why, maybe it is because I wasn’t of clubbing material.. but the songs didnt really hit off well.. they started playing a little of trance and then mixing it up with a little of R & B and then playing more of trance and techno then… eh……………………………………
Okie not too much comments about the songs, but the differentiation was done beautifully.. they had this bunch of acrobats who did some stunts and everyone was enjoying that performance… The best part, they were "flying" above the crowd, moving to tis beautiful music…. Such fantasy…. hahaha… in addition, they had dancers who will stand on this suspending stage above the bar… Oh the amusing part! They have male dancers who dressed up as girls! Hahaha.. Sharm and I were trying our best to determine their gender, not that it was very important, but hey they are good dancers.. =0)
Saved alot of money, thanks to Akeong and Micheal.. Got my non-alcholic drinks for free… and managed to save my money on lockers too… So, Akeong and Micheal, thank you so much for your help… Dun worry, I wont do it often…. =0)
Shihua came with that usual bunch of frenz.. didnt really talked much to them.. but the more I hear about this guy… the more disgusted I feel about him.. anyway babe, I’m SOOOO glad you didn’t get hooked on him! Thank GOD MAN! Of course, I want her to find a bf soon, but I wouldn’t want her to get hurt by such a guy… =0)
Local Exchange to SMU
Yup, we are on local exchange to SMU! Both Shihua and me wanted to try something different for our final sem. Initially, Shihua wanted an overseas exchange to Thailand! YUP, THE LAND OF A THOUSAND SMILES! Hahahaha, and I was seriously considering it too… but somehow, we dismissed the idea. 1st, it was too expensive for my pockets and 2nd, it was too dangerous… Parents of "Miss Liz" decided that it was too dangerous for her too…. So our adventurous dream died there and then…
We didn’t want to stay in NTU and not expose ourselves to different cultures, so we concluded that a local exchange was better than nothing… We had a backup plan too! Rent a hall should we not go for the local exchange…. And yup, we got it and here we are in SMU…=0)
The first day in school was a culture shock.. everyone was dressed up for school! As compared to the NTU us, we were sloppy… Okie, maybe I WAS SLOPPY… hahhaha.. cluthered in my usual jeans and tee, I felt like a freak… hahahaha… In addition, everyone was ahead of technology, or okie, maybe in synch with technology… they took notes using their laptops… and we? well, we pulled out our foolscap and pens and starting jotting down everything religiously…. hahahaha.. typical us…..
Anyway, we managed to group up with these really nice SMU students.. But one thing really scare us… SMU STUDENTS DO PROJECTS ON SUNDAYS!!! And that was my first sunday dedicated solely to project work… OMG! I cant believe this! All my life in NTU, we have never NEVER NEVER WORK ON PROJECTS ON A SUNDAY!!! It wasn’t that bad really… but still I wasn’t looking forward to another project on a sunday…
However, just like in any other places, not all of them are very nice… just last sunday, Yahui, Huimin and I booked a room in SMU to work on our FYP…. We were quite late la.. reached there at about 3 when we booked the room at 130pm… hahaha but still that time slot was for us! But when we reached, there were 2 students in it… we were quite stunned but still I went in and politely, politely okie, told them that we have booked the room from 130 to 500pm…. Instead of registering this fact, the guy turned around with this rather stuck-up look and
Guy, "But it is 3pm now."
Me(with a puzzled look), "Yup, but, eh… we booked it from 130 to 5pm"
Guy, "Ya, but there is a 1 hour levy. If you don’t come in by 230, tis room is gone. YOU SHOULD NOE THAT!"
Me(with still that puzzled look), "erm.. sorry but we didn’t noe that.. I’m from NTU…."
Guy(still putting up that stuck-up look), "Your SMU FRENZ SHOULD NOE THAT!" Then dart his stare to Yahui and Huimin…
Me(running out of patience), "WE ARE ALL FROM NTU! WE DIDN"T NOE THAT!"
Guy(finally, relenting..), "Oh, okie then…. "
When they finally packed up and left, I even thank them… how silly… afterwhich the more I thought about the matter, the pisser I was… I called Akeong and asked whether such a levy exist.. and GUESS! NO!!!
Sighz… that was when Yahui and Huimin really got so pissed they simply hated SMU… ops… but ya, it was quite a bad first impression….
ANyway, I am glad that Shihua and I met nice ppl and hopefully life in SMU will stay pretty much the way it is… nice, quiet and peaceful… =0)
Final Year Project
My last sem this year, and my life isn’t getting any easier… Aside from the mounting pressure from surrounding frenz who found excellent paying job, the pressure is building up for our FYP…
With less than 5 weeks of time, we are all rushing… but I simply don’t understand myself.. I have become more ill-disciplined over the weeks and couldn’t perk my spirits up to work really hard… I don’t know what’s wrong with me… but I seriously need to do something about myself….
Ruan Concert @ Esplanade
Yup, you must be wondering… Ruan? Yup, I quitted from that place a long time ago… But recently, the passion for music came back really strongly…. And when the ruanster came to know that we get to perform in the main concert hall in esplanade… We were determine…..! hHahahaha.. to perform I mean….
Well, the concert hall was really a sight to behold… with 1600 seats… and a suspending ceiling… and wonderful sound systems, it was a state of the art…. We went around snapping pictures and reali that was about it… didnt reali practice but still the similar feelings whenever we perform were felt… we were still that band of musicians who love each other, love the feeling of performing, love the applause we hear whenever we are on stage and love the music we play….
After this performance, I don’t know when we will get to perform together again.. but ChenCheng did ask us to go for the CHina performance…. We would get sponsorship and he wanted all of us to go together as a team, a family we all enjoyed when we were in Japan… frankly speaking Chencheng, I really love that thought, and really hope that we can do that again…. Why don’t we all meet up really soon and discuss it together? Or maybe even tag it on our ruanster blog… I’ll go along with the majority.. =0)
