Pictures are Up!

Chiang Rai + Bangkok Trip

Take a look if you are interested~! Nothing much de lah~ Jus a bunch of ppl craving for camera time~ Haha!!

Relax!

Back from Thailand~

We just came back from thailand today... had a wonderful time in both chiang rai and bangkok~!

Jus a snippet of the holiday,

Its quite cold in chiang rai~ their pace of life is quite slow, and the people are generally nice ppl... imagine this, most of the vehicles there are trucks and bikes, but they will slow down and stop for people to cross the road even when there is no traffic lights~ Hmmm... We rented a car on the 2nd day, got lost finding the long neck hill tribe and ended up driving along a mountain road that resembles those we see in the initial D anime or movie! Hahaa~ But we dun dare to drive too fast also lah~ Oh!! My dad's Chicken Rice Shop is there too~! So if you are going to Chiang Rai, muz get the address from me kk? Hahaa!

As for bangkok, most memorable is the fact that we got cheated for the "Thai ger" show~ Long story lah~ Hiaz... Other than that, nik and andy paid 1800baht to watch the real Thai Boxing matches while me and sis went shopping at suan lum... But we managed to sneak in to watch the final match between two small but fierce boys~! We spent most of our time shopping there... Shop and Shop~ Chatuchak market is now called as Ja tu Jak or JJ market! Haha~ More "modernised" le~ Haha! But its jus the name lah, everything else remains pretty much the same...

The most disappointing part of the bangkok trip would probably be our hotel... we paid quite a lot for a small hotel, but the service were quite bad at the start... lousy rooms... lousy spa arrangements... but in between were okay... den ended with lousy service again when checking out... Hiaz...

Overall? Quite fun ba! Shopping... Relaxing... Sprained Ankle... Wahahaa!! OH!!! So Sorry! No souveniors, coz i'm already very broke! Next time kk?

Wonder when will be our next trip~!

What have i been doing?

Hmmm... After the whole "mechanic" experience yesterday, i realised that i haven't been blogging much. Since i happen to be quite free today, i'm gonna try to sum everything that have happened so far, off-hand... Here goes...

My real holiday probably started with a rollerblading session with eileen, lapyin, sweebin and eric~ My sis and andy was there too! After that, they went for dinner and i went to pick nik up for dinner at botak jones. The coffeeshop that houses botak jones have become a "highclass" kopitiam already~ Other than botak jones, there is a italian pasta and pizza joint, as well as a jap bento set kinda shop... The jap shop can pay by nets lor!! haha!

Next outing would be a makan outing at golden mile food centre... Went there after work and met up with eileen, lapyin and sweebin... jeremy couldn't make it~ The makan session is supposed to be for nidhi (dunno how to spell) but she didn't turn up~ fly aeroplane... After that, nik came to pick me, and we went for movie and supper... watched the first R21 rated movie called "Zack and Miri make a Porn" Its really hilarious and at some point loving... Exclusive at GV only~

Next up, settlers with lapyin and jeremy... eileen suddenly fell sick, so couldn't make it... but it was still super fun! we started out with blokus, the hexagon one... and continued with powergrid, which we played for the rest of the 3 hours... we followed the rulez, but we played too much and too long... so the ending was quite screwed... FUN nonetheless! After that, we continued a little more at lapyin's house where we played this super old, but super fun game called Careers... Lapyin's house is in the middle of chinatown area and has a fantastic view of the city... but the view would soon be blocked by a new, currently under construction, hotel... hiaz...

Not forgetting all the work that i have been doing on and off... freelance style, earn a little for my upcoming holiday and christmas presents... and the dates for these work has been clashing with my frisbee training... this is bad, coz i haven trained with the peeps for very long le... they would definately have developed the "mo qi" already... me joining them for the competition may not be a good thing... but i'm still going ba~ sorry guys!

Malaysia makan and shopping trip with my aunt... Altogether, 6 of us... drove in to city square... The jam to msia started so far away from the checkpoint... and there were so many bikes, that they had to close the car lane to hold all of them!! We spent almost 1.5 to 2 hours in the car... waiting for our passports to get stamped... We finally reached city square at bout 7pm and ate secret recipe... the standard dropped for quite a few dishes... think its becoz its a weekend ba~ anyway, we paid 170 rm for 6 of us... 7 main course, 2 cakes, 6 drinks... u do the math~ :) After that we went shopping a little and bought a new airwalk bag and ipanema slippers... hopefully this pair of slippers will not give me blisters!

Then followed by a cute grocery shopping trip with nik and his mom at Giant, IMM. I dunno how to describe this experience but its quite fun to watch how nik disturbs his mom~ Haha!

Oh, most important! Dearie nik gave me my christmas present already! Its a baby-G watch that is not made up of rubber~ Hahahaa!! metal face, metal strap~ super classy and simple for a baby-G watch~ I love it~! THANK YOU~! Heeee~ Hmmm~ What should i get him?

THAILAND, here i come!! Please be peaceful~

Car, Level up!

Today we just level up our car! Now, we have "newer" tyres and "newer" seats! "newer" becoz its second hand stuffs, but still comparatively newer than the ones we had... Now, it looks cool and feels good... we spent the whole afternoon, evening and night doing all of that man~ So tiring... Now my fingers are all puffed up and reddish from trying to unscrew the bolts and all... But the effort is so worth it man~

After that, we went to golden mile to change money, followed by "dupper" (dinner + supper) at newton circus food centre... had steamed garoupa and fried chicken! Super nice! main purpose was to look up my mom... jus to see how she has been as well as to introduce nik to my mom and vice versa~

Today alone, we spent $650+ on the upgrades and food... This month, we are broke once again... We better start saving money le lah~ been spending and spending, but not saving... Haha!! We also bought an LCD monitor for his PS3 in the room... that cost us $379 and a $80 HDMI cable... So... we easily spent 1k already~ Plus the car installment and insurance... Woah... $1.5k!!!!! OMG... Plus the air ticket and hotel that cost us almost $500 per person! And the holiday spending money... Jialat!!! I wan CNY to come soon!!!

Save money...!

Nike Vapor = Jogging~!

Yesterday Nik bought this Nike Vapor earphones for me and this sparked my jogging frenzy (not sure if i used the word correctly thou). Anyway, after charging my Zen X-Fi, I strapped it onto my arm band and connected this earphones... It took quite sometime to put on the earphones, but once its on, its really comfortable! The short cord length minimized tangles especially when its connected to my armband~ While jogging, there was no hassle with the cords, or the earphones! It stayed where it should be... And the best part? I can wear my specs and still this earphones gave no problem at all~! How wonderful is that? This will most prob be my jogging companion for a long time~ Hee!


I started at Yewtee MRT, and jogged towards Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange where i bought a bottled mineral water... From there, i continued on the park connector towards Little Guilin at Bukit Gombak... But i never made it there... I got LOST... I lost the park connector at a road junction near Sunshine Place and i ended up at this weird MRT tunnel... Afraid that i'll be even more lost, i decided to head back... I jogged along a little neighbourhood park and reached South View LRT... From there, i basically followed the MRT track all the way back to Yewtee... Haha!! If i really jogged the route that i think i did, i would have jogged 6.4km!! (Plus minus 0.5km ba)

What a journey!! I'm gonna do some research and the next time, i'll reach Little Guilin!!! Hahahaa!!! Anyway, tml, blading at ECP, 6pm... If u wanna go, do sms me or Eileen k?

Aching liao!

Thailand, here we come!

Eileen told us that tickets to bangkok are very cheap now... So i went online and check it out~ Indeed!! Its cheap~! Imagine, free seat promotion to bangkok!! But the airport tax, baggage charge and everything else is expensive~! But we are still going anyway! There is no direct flight to Chiang Rai, so we had to spend extra 125 per person on a transfer flight there...

The trip will be a 7 day trip, 2 in Chang Rai, 4 in Bangkok~ 1 day spent in transferring and waiting... Have to save money on airfare leh~ But heck it~ It will be fun~! Currently, the total per person is bout 500+ SGD on air tickets and hotels... its not that expensive, considering that it is during super peak period~

I'm so excited over this trip~! Had to give up the kelong fishing season trip becoz of this... So this trip better be worth it! Heee~

Sawadee!!

Today (sunday) was fun!

I woke up only at 3pm~ coz i slept late the night before~ Watched two VERY boring soccer match... Can u believe it? Liverpool drew against Fulham and Man-U drew against Aston Villa... I was expecting at least 2 goal lead for both games!

Anyway, so we woke up, played a bit of games and drove nik's mom to his grandma's place before heading to great world city... GV there was pathetic... only 4 movies?! Nothing there to shop too... So we decided to go Cineleisure after getting a quick bite at Toast Box... The toast and soft boiled eggs were ordinary... but their tea was not bad... Paid 1.60 for the carpark there...

At orchard, we parked at cairnhill place (or was it plaza?) and walked to cineleisure~ Bought tix to watch "The Good, The Bad and The Wierd". After that, we went to eat Jap fried noodles and had Crepes at basement 1 of cine~ We slacked for about 1 hour there and played Guillotine (a card game i bought~) We got kinda bored and took a quick walk to hmv where nik bought speakers and earphones~ We lost track of time and had to rush back to the theater! The show was quite nice actually, funny... Easier to digest than Body of Lies which we watched on Friday~ We paid 9.60 for carpark there!!!!!!! But its supposed to be the cheapest carpark in Orchard... But its worth it! Imagine taking cab back, it will cost ALOT more...

Now thats what I call, Holidays...

Whats a holiday without money...

I failed... my TP... thats wierd becoz its due to an immediate failure... i dropped off the plank~ They gave me the best bike, and i was happy with it... until now i have no idea what happened... i was so sure i'm gonna nail this one~! Anyway i had to extend the course, renew the PDL, book a revision before i can book my TP... nearest TP date is 29th Jan... Thats like super duper far away from now... Its a school day... AND its the Chinese New Year week!! All the testers will be upset that they had to do this shit and so i think they will fail us even if we dun fail ourselves! Arrgh~

As for money... I need money!!! I wanna go for holiday... But i'll need money for that... Jus loan 3k to my dad... that's like my one sem's stipend + $500~! All gone and most prob not coming back... But what to do? A daughter has to do wat she has to do~ Hiaz...

Dun ask me to give tuition... I wun... Its kinda like a principle... U can say that i'm not up to it or something... But i just dun wan to... If i really run dry... I'll loan... Take up holiday job... But not tuitioning... Haha!

This holiday... i seriously dunno what to do man~ With the economic downturn and all... I wanna go Chang Rai to check out my father's latest business thingy... But the ticket is so expensive... And if i'm going, i would wan Nik to go wif me, as well as beka and andy~ BUT... thats a big unsure thingy now... As for the kelong trip, i tink we are going for sure... dun wanna miss this whole fishing season~

Happy Holidays...

Holidays!!!

Yeah Rite!! Holidays has not started for me due to several reasons...

(1) TP... TML~! Today spent almost 5 hours at SSDC to practice... Hopefully its enough for me to pass tml~

(2) The next 1 or 2 weeks, i hope to clear my comm's finance stuffs asap... So that i can really "enjoy" my holidays... Haha!

(3) My dad may be coming back to seek treatment, so i'll be busy settling his admin stuffs too...

Oh! and my mom suddenly send me a wierd sms...

"Hi, how r u, everything o.k?? How u n rebacca , pls call me if anyjhing happan , i'll alway be at both side. Mom love u....."

This is weird mainly becoz she doesn't sms on her own accord... and she doesn't "express" herself... what's up wif the "love u" stuffs... *shiver* Dunno lah~ i jus replied her with "all ok" and thats it... see how it goes lor~

Wierd stuffs keeps happening~!

14 more hours to freedom!!

Yeap~ In another 11 hours, i'll be taking my final paper for this exam~ After dat, i'm FREE!!! Holidays!! Heee~! Can't wait... But for now, i better start studying before i get sleepy! :)

Holidays! So near!

A Great Saturday!

Today started out at woodlands, some car workshop~ nik bought some spare parts for his car and we were there to pick them up~ Met his Swift GTi gang... Cool peeps~ Haha! Had lunch with them at bout 3plus, and went to Liang Court~ We went there with the plan to eat dinner at this Jap restaurant~ But we decided to go Funan to check out PS3~ Coz his spoil le~ Anyway, we WALKED from Liang Court to Funan... Didn't get anything... And WALKED to settlers to buy a card game.... WALKED back to Liang Court to pick up his car... Drove to AMK hub to buy his PS3 and finally went home... Without eating Dinner!! Wahahaa!! Watch a bit of soccer, played a bit of games, watch a bit of Friends, den Finally blogging and slping liao~!

Imagine this... Exam is on tuesday and i'm still playing and slacking~ Feels like holidays liao! Hahaa~ Jialat~ better slp and start preparing for exams tml~! Arrgh~

Fun... But muz stop having fun for now...

Exams... ONE more!!!

Woohoo!! One more paper to go~! Sport psych paper was GOOD... I started memorising the notes i have prepared one day before, and i vomited everything out on the day itself!! BLEARGH!!! But it was a good paper, kinda make me feel happy that we had that lecturer, even thou i had a hard time understanding him~! Hahaa!!

As for today's paper? It was the crappiest and smokiest (does this word even exist?) paper i have EVER done!! There was so much smoke that i couldn't see past the table in front of me!! Hahahaa!! I'm exaggerating! How smart!! Okay, thats REALLY lame... I'm just happy that this module is OFFICIALLY over~ Yay!! I still can't believe that we actually had an exam on multiculturism!! Arrgh~! I'll be luckly to score a B... If i get a C.. I can only blame myself... AND WHOEVER DECIDED TO MAKE IT EXAMINABLE!!! ARRGH~!!!

*Splash some water to cool myself down*

So i'm resting, relaxing today... After realising that Insurance Claim stuffs is a HORRIBLE process to know about... That aside, Nik decided that we will be watching Friends all over again, from season 1, episode 1~ HAHA! I haven exactly watched Friends properly, so its good!!

To my dear worry... Bye Bye! See ya tml~!

Guilty as Charged...

Tuesday is my paper... today i haven started studying... My god~! What have i been doing? Slacking away... I hate exams... Why muz we have exams? I rather be busy doing assignments... Give me projects... Take away exams... Arrgh~

Not mentioning the stupid AMX module that i haven been doing well in... Exams about multiculturism? My GOSH... Nvm... Short Term Goal... STUDY GOAL SETTINGS NOW... Arrgh~

Goal Settings... Arousal... ANXIETY...

Car Accident...

Anyway, while i was taking my test this morning, my phone rang about 5 times! 3 from my dad, 1 from my sis, and 1 from my uncle... I couldn't answer my call, so i received 2 sms instead... Judging from the way my phone was vibrating so much in my pockets, i knew something was wrong... I couldn't really concentrate on the paper and kept thinking bout what may have happened...

After the paper, i rushed outside and call my dad up and guess wat? He got into a car accident... According to him, he was driving a car along the road in Thailand, Chang Rai (dunno how to spell it lah)... It was raining, and he was turning along a bend... The car flipped and overturned, and fell off the cliff... Luckily, the car stopped rolling downwards halfway down, and he was rescued and sent to the hospital there... (or did he climb out?)

He suffers from broken (or fractured?) shoulder bone (or was it shoulder blade?) and bruises at several parts of his body... I couldn't get the facts clear, because he also dunno wat the doctor was saying... The main thing is, he lucky to be alive after what happened....

So please, drive carefully if you are going for a driving trip, especially in msia where the roads are windy and full of holes at several areas... In singapore too! Anyway, take care, keep to the speed limit, and we'll all be safe....

Scary...

Relax before Mugging...

Today was my math test, and i tink i was over confident, thus reading the last question wrongly... supposed to find volume, i went to find total suface area... After that i had bout 5 min to spare, i checked my answers and found them satisfying... But lesson learnt, i muz check both the answers AND the questions!!! Arrgh~ Anyway, that was 6 marks... Out of "i-dunno-how-many" marks... Hahaha!! Anyway, this module seems promising... Shld be enough to cover for my potential C grade for another module...

Okay, to relax a little, was supposed to hang out wif nik a little after his work... But his work ended near to 12am... So i hung out wif a bunch of friends in school instead... Didn't know that there was a little "pub" thingy in school... The price there quite reasonable... Played Foosball (is that how its spelt?), Ladies VS Men~! And guess wat, us Ladies... Won BOTH games!! Woo Hoo~ Hahaha!! And thats without Sam shrieking~ Hee~

Wanted to play pool and darts, but they were occupied already~ Anyway, it was cool to jus sit around and hang out once in a while... I drank snapple while the rest drank Asahi... Dunno why, but i dun really appreciate the taste of liquor or beer anymore~ Haha!

We should do this more often!! It was really fun~!!

After that, nik and me went msia to have supper... The nasi kampung wasn't as good as before... Haha! The usual place became a pit-stop for taxi... Actually, its more of a taxi stand lah~ Haha!! The guy at the makan place still remembers us, even thou it was quite some time since we went there~ The best part? He actually pulled up additional chairs for us becoz he thought beka and andy will be coming too~ Haha!

Btw, i initially thought that nik and me are having some problems, because he is starting to feel a little distant... Walking ahead in the morning, kinda like ignoring me a little, showing no emotions sometime... I asked him why, but he said that there was no problem... Really wanted to spend some time wif him today, but he was really busy... Got a little emo after that...Luckily my friends were still in school, which explains why i was doing all those stuffs above... Now i know that we are okay, maybe stress from work? I'll leave it to him to "open up" to me ba~ :)

Exams are my immediate concerns!!

It's that time of the year!

No... Christmas is still far away... Nope... Its not the holidays too... Its...... *Drum Roll* EXAMS!!! Hahaa!! Yes... I'm going mad already... After rushing out all the assignments, i'm nearly out of steam already... 1 test and 3 more papers to go... Jiayou ppl~ We can all finish this and enjoy our holidays soon!!

Jingle Bell, Batman Smell, Robin Laid an Egg....

Exams so near, Me going Coo Coo...

Playing Soccer at 3am

Its a different experience to play street soccer in the early morning... Cold and a little windy seems quite condusive for a workout~ Haha! Went to Fico at Jurong with nik, beka and andy. We were there to play soccer with andy's pizza hut friends. They are a good bunch of people, friendly and all... But playing with them, i also feel a bit paiseh lah~ Coz they can't play well because they dun wanna tackle me or "rembak" me mah~ But i tink i played quite well~ coz my shots were pretty on target... Except when i couldn't recognize who was in my team! Haha~

After that, we went to have Chong Pang Nasi Lemak, but their standard drop le~ Not so nice~ Anyway, by the time we reached home, bathe and get ready to slp, its already 8am le~ Haha!!

Good destress method~!

Phew, A little more to Go!

Look at the post below, i'm happy to tell you that i have complete all the stuffs there except number 8! That is my last assignment for this semester! I'm so glad that my stress level is slowly going back down...

I was having so much trouble writing and choreographing my individual gym sequence. Seems like i was suffering from mental block. Must be stress... But thanks to daniel and samantha, i managed to come up with an ok sequence and smoke thru the assessment... After practicing last night, i had to rush out my 1000 word essay... Luckily, my writer's block is gone and i crapped my way thru the paper.

After this week, i'll have a math test on monday... Then its EXAMS already... 3 papers, 2 weeks, 1 long holiday after that!! woooooohooooooo~! Thats the only thing that is moving me foward man!! Can't wait for my Bangkok and Fishing trip~ Heee!
