Singapore trip

I know... it's sooooo outdated...hahahha
so... I was back from Singapore two weeks ago.. caught a cold right after I reach home...The trip lasted for 4 days, went there with Rosemary, Elaine and Audrey.

First day:
After we reached Singapore, we went to our hotel right away to put our luggage and headed to China town to have our dinner. It was already 8pm...Then we walked a long way to Clarke Quay to enjoy the night scenery.

Second day:

We went to City Hall to see the imfamous Merlion, a must-go for every visitors to Singapore..we took some pictures before heading off to Bugis street. We spent a few hours at Bugis street to shop for clothes and shoes... There are just too many stalls and too many cheap and attractive stuff to look at, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time as we have to move on to the next destination to take our dinner.

The best place to get big portion, cheap and tasty western food is...? Bingo! In NUS!! hahahha.... After that, we went to Orchard Road, a spot famous for it's beautiful night scenery. The whole road and the shopping malls along it were decorated with colourful light bulbs. The scenery was simply spectacular.

Third day:
We went to Science Centre early in the morning. It is a great place to hang around whole day... (if I were 10 years younger..) hehe... there are a lot of interesting things to look at, and my favourite would be the tesla coil demonstration which generates electric sparks that resembles natural lighting. After that, we went to grab our lunch at NUS again... lol...and went to VivoCity for a short walk, before proceeding to Sentosa. At Sentosa, we took the luge ride, skyride, and watched 4D magix and cineblast.. I won't say it's very interesting though :P. Around 9 o'clock, we went back to VivoCity to have our dinner.

Fourth day:
This was the last day of our trip. We went for the last minute shopping near our hotel before heading to Changi Airport.

Overall, I had a wonderful time in Singapore. It's the first time I went for a vacation with friends only, although I enjoyed the freedom, I still hoped I could share the fun with my family. I look forward to the next trip! KL anyone?


***Pai seh... lazy to upload and arrange the photos... XD
jya.

end of semester 2

This semester is definitely not the one I work hardest for... I think I've become lazier and lazier... which is not good :S

Why sudden change in my lifestyle? Am I tired of my course already? Well... civil engineering is not exactly an interesting subject to study if you have no interest in it...

This sem we went to two site visits-- CMS and Batu Kitang water treatment plant.
This sem we went to eat outside almost everyday, Jojo and Jadepot being our fav.
This sem we turned a bit... naughty? :O
This sem everything is not well organized.
This sem we got famous for the wrong reason...

Huhu... don't like this sem... sad :(

Upcoming events: Singapore trip, industrial training.

Holiday activities

Huhuhu..T_T I'm sick... I think it's because I was too active in joining all the activities during holiday...
Ok, now for some serious updates.

22/7-24/7 Habitat for humanity

We had a lot of fun helping out, or rather playing at the building site... As we are girls, we couldn't do much, so we helped to nail the board to the wall, instead of hammering the nail, we hammer our thumb... how cute =_= After two days of hard work, we finally had some easier job on the last day, which is painting. We are all good painter ;D

Girl power!!

After 15 minutes... XD

Lenny, me and Ropalin. We used penknife to cut the board...bit by bit >< Ropalin painting the wall

Yay! future female engineers!! and an accountant hehe...

Do come and join us next time.. it's a very meaningful activity because you can help out the needy and at the same time gain a lot of knowledge, mingle with different people, build up your muscle, and add in a few more words in your resume. :D

26/7 Cosvention Boulevard

I love anime and manga, as well as anything related to them, so how can I miss the Cosvention (cosplay convention)? I'm very happy that Kuching fans are starting to hold this kind of convention annually. Although there is still a long way to go to before it gets as good and as compatible as other cosplay convention out there, but at least we have a start, and I'm sure we'll get there soon enough with a little bit more effort from the organizers and a lot of support from the community:-) Gambateh neh Kuching cosplay fans!!

Here are some VERY low quality picture I took that day... :P...

Reno from Final Fantasy

Anbu from Naruto

Rukia from Bleach

28/7 Ropalin's birthday

We went to Atmosfera/Atmosphere to celebrate Ropalin's birthday.. They have really nice deco, but the food was kinda expensive O_O. Here goes the menu:

Drinks

Esprit carbonate drink

sirloin steak

Atmosphere fried rice

After >_<

Then for desserts...Oh oh! The cake! The cake!! How I love the cake!! :D It's called Strawberry Yogurt Cheese Cake, from the Gingerbread house. Highly recommended, must try! tee hee...

After (please don't imagine we used our hands.. we didn't, we are ladies)

Then for the 'entertainment'... Take photos! We booked the whole restaurant, as you can see there is no other customer other than us :P

Arr!!! don't break the vase please!!

*For more pictures, please look for them at facebook :D

That's all for now, jya~

Slumber party...again

This time, we overnight at Kim's house. Kim cooked her famous dish spaghetti, mushroom soup and mixed vege. We also made salad which consist of all the ingredients we can find: dragon fruit, carrot, cabbage, apple and tomato, it might taste weird without mayonnaise and sweetened milk tho...XD, and no, we did not have diarrhea after eating that, so it's a safe recipe, you can try out at home too :P

Then the next day, we went to Boulevard and got ourself a pair of sunglasses... Couldn't wait to put it on and took some pictures...zzz Do forgive us for our childish acts, that was our very first pair of sunglasses afterall...>_<

Until next time, Jya~ <3

slumber party

I spent two nights at my friend's place which is located just 1 min. ride from my house...zzz We shared food, jokes, gossips and our baby photos! :D... Everyone thought they're the cutest, but I think I was the cutest among them la :P Don't believe? take a look------------------>

Tee-hee... Kim was cute too, Ai's face never change since she was 6...I think we should really throw a gathering with this theme lar... Ask all Arang and Swinburne gang to join, that would be interesting, won't it? ^____^

How time flies... I'm already 20 now >_<''' Lao kok kok... This is the cake Kim, Ai and Min bought for me, we finished almost all of it within one go, such amazing appetite! I'm already 20... and I've wasted 20 years!... All I've done was study, study, and study... The peaks of my life that I could think of are--- UPSR, PMR and SPM... as if nothing else happened.. So I think to myself I better start living my life seriously from now onwards... I better set a target more meaningful than getting full HD in the exam... I have to crawl out of the book!!

Sematan Palm Beach

This is absolutely what we should be doing on holiday--- get close to nature!! Although we only spent a few hours there, but I feel satisfied..hehe... I hope we can spend a night there next time, cos they have really nice chalet... After that, we had our dinner at Lundu. The food was cheap, and I regret not ordering more :P

holiday!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeee!! Final exam is finally OVER! I feel so peaceful right now...

All papers were difficult... especially Road eng... hope I don't fail >.<. To conclude this sem... umm, there' been good and bad times, but overall, i'm quite happy with everyone i worked with throughout the sem. One thing that I won't forget about this sem is the tough times we had standing under burning sun, although it's hot i still have to wear jacket, otherwise i'll get sunburn, so it's like doing survey in an oven every fieldwork session. It's a real torture i tell you... factors other than the weather also contribute to the torture as well, if you know what i mean ;D... so topo=mental and physical torture zzz. It's a miracle we survived tho...

Another thing that kills off a big portion of my brain cells is some seemingly 'useless'(for the purpose of my complaint only... so no offence), yet complicated formulas and theorems people call fourier analysis. It's just too complicated for me cos my trigo and integration foundation sucks...and because my brain just cease to function after 5pm, so the outcome for the two to three hours maths lecture in the evening is absolutely zero.

Lessons learnt during this sem:
1. never argue with someone older and more experienced than you, cos all you'll get in the end is a big NOOO! (means you'll always be wrong)

2. never finish your assignment early, becos in the end you'll find that all you've done is wrong. So to save all the unnecessary effort, you might as well just wait till the very last minute and 'consult' other people

K. I'm going to reset my ram now, delete all the numbers and theorems, and set to holiday mode. Good bye year two sem one.
