WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY.
When you smoke, they suffer.
If you're wondering who are "they", it's the people around you. YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY.



I must study! Okay, tell you what. I haven't confirmed this...

So many people are doing this. I'm gonna follow the trend. I'm...

ON HIATUS!

I WATCHED X-MEN III! The Last Stand. So cool. I really like the movies. It's just so action-packed, and loud. Last Friday, after Microecons class, which by the way lasted for 3 hours till 5pm, Gracelynn, Audrey, Stephanie, Elizabeth and me went to Orchard. Actually, we thought maybe we weren't going to watch it anymore, 'cos it was only the second day of opening and we were going to Cineleisure to watch, like, it's gonna be sold-out, so we thought. So the others went off, and it was only down to the 5 of us. Anyway, the movie was fab. Absolutely fab. Luckily Audrey heard on the radio that at the end of the credits, there's gonna be a short coda that would probably lead to X-MEN 4. It's really interesting. I wouldn't spoil the movie by saying what's gonna go on. But I would like to read the comic... about the CURE... lol. Shadowcat(Kitty)'s really cute, she's so tiny but so brave. LOL. WHOA, I LOVE WOLVERINE. Hugh Jackman! (screams) His hair's funny. Cyclops didn't do much. Angel too. I guess the point of putting him in is because he's a mutant and his father invented the "CURE". He flies... yeah, that's pretty much his "power". And the showdown between Iceman and Pyro was so cool, funny too. "HAHAHA". But I think Phoenix was completely SCARY. SSssoo scary. STORM'S so cool. Controlling the weather? That's freakin' amazing! WHOA.

We watched some bustin' trailers before the show started 'cos we went in early. So COOL! Cars, Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest, Superman Returns etc. Then, the THX advertisement was so cool. The MOO-OOO one. The sound was superb. And they even had JBL speakers behind the screen. It was pretty loud for us 'cos we were sitting in the front row. But nevertheless, it was quite a nice experience. Well, the tickets on Friday night were expensive! Like, it costs $9.50, much more than the Mon-Fri prices. Oh, and I saw Lifeng and Ben Lim in the crowded Cineleisure. They were like, "Jia Zhen!" Then I was like, thinking... "Did someone call my name?" And so I saw them. There must something wrong with my eyes, I just can't spot people immediately.

Whatever.

What a LONG DAY. OK, I'm supposed to be HOME ALONE, but there's some weird weird sounds coming from downstairs. I think it's my grandma. She stays next door and there's a link from next door at the back of our houses...

Nevermind.

Ani's really sick... so she's off to see the doctor. Hong Yong's accompanying her and my Big. Bro. drove them to the clinic. They said that when they arrived, the number was 69. Their number is 86. For now, the number is 80. They still gotta wait. Gosh, that's like, freakin long. How come there're so many sick people?

Anyway, Maths class today was SO SO SO SO "dozable", "sleepable", FREAKALICKIN' BORING. How come Mr. Syed teach at SUCH a... ssslooooowww.... turtle pace? Like, what the... can't he teach FASTER? He's a university lecturer, NOT a PRIMARY school teacher. Can't he understand that?

It's Krystel's birthday today, and they got her a cake, CHOCOLATE, like, SUPER YUMMY. Happy 19th Birthday! So many Birthdays. It was Jane's Birthday last Monday. Happy 20th Birthday. YES.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

I couldn't sing the birthday song with them 'cos I was doing my english homework with my group. They were like, THERE. And I'm like, HERE. We could see each other. Perlin told me to go and join them, but I can't shrug off the responsibility of doing the homework, like, the other time. They'll think really bad of me. But anyway, we took A PHOTO. Yes, ONE photo, with me inclusive. The others taken, I guess, a lot of photos? I think I saw them snapping away with the camera. How sweet.

Then, English lesson was... OKAY. But the 'cher was like... erh... talking and talking and talking and... ...

Nevermind.

Had no time to each lunch before English lesson anyway, so I had a slice of rockmelon. 60cents! Like, 20cents more than HONEYDEW. And the honeydew tastes much sweeter. I'll never get the rockmelon anymore.

OK, so Loisa and I met after Eng. class to have LUNCH, yes, LUNCH at 3pm. FLABBERGASTED? But we finally ate at MEGA BITES! Yeah. We tried the Chicken Cutlet with some funny American sauce. $4.50. Yummy, but causes the "bloat-effect", uh-huh. You guessed it. We ended up really really full. Inclusive of Mash potatoes, fries and a Soup-of-the-Day. Lovely. The chicken cutlet was a darn big piece. The place was nice. Pretty nice.

After that, I went to drum with dear ol' fren cum "god"-brudder Matt. YEAH! So FUN. I love drumming. I love it so... MUCH. It's a great way to wind down after a long day. But the studio booking rental fees is like, SO EXPENSIVE. $10/hr for studio 2. $2 more than Studio 1. But the equipment, of course, is much MUCH better.

Then, we went to Plaza Singapura to check out Yamaha comtemporary music instruments and stuff. I looked through the drum-sticks. NO MORE TRE COOL ZILDJIAN ARTIST SERIES!!! So I must treasure my current one. And then get one new one I can drum till it wears and tears, I don't care. HAHA.

But I had very little money. VERY LITTLE money indeed. So I didn't buy any sticks. We went down to Long John Silvers. Matt had like, 10 chicken pieces and a combo set 2, I think. That's CRAZY! He said that his eating style is NC-16. I think so. How does he manage to finish the food?! That's insane! But the service and staff at the place really SUCKS. They should just do away with the bell. 'Cos I bet no one's gonna ring it for good service. The queue's cocked up, I ordered a drink, and the girl was like, ok, really slow at the cashier. She put a large cup at the drinks station, pressed a button, collected money from me, and there I WAIT. I WAITED... WAITED... ok, is there something wrong with the drink? ... I thought...

Then she went to talk to her supervisor about something. OK, so I waited... and Matthew came along, with my bag in a hand... ok, I thought he left it on the chair cos I didn't see him carrying it. We waited. Now my left hand's in my left pocket and I was holding a sprite in the other... wondering what was goig on. And suddenly the cashier was like... with a blur face, staring at us like we wanted something MORE. I gave a "haiz, what the..." face and pointed at the drinks station. And she said "OH!" blah blah blah bla bla... (I forgot). OK, but she's REALLY forgetfull. How can that happen? GOSH...

Okay, first Econs. class today, Principles of Microeconomics. ECO 182. It was like, . Nuts. What was that all about?! I really wished I weren't, I tried hard not to, but I can't help myself but get 1/2 asleep in class. Dr. ______(what's his name?) was... sternly, monotone-d. Therefore, I had just read almost the whole 1st chapter just to understand what was going on, at least, partly.

I went downstairs to find, guess what, BAKED BEANS! A whole plate of baked beans in the kitchen. I wonder if we were gonna have that, 'cos if we REALLY REALLY do, I bet'cha we're gonna have a FART-FEST! woo-hoo! We're gonna stink up the house baybeh...

That's disgusting.

Honestly, I was just joking about the "stink up the house" part, 'cos my elder bro. would be aghast at the thought of having a stinky house. RIGHT?! (whahahaha :D)

Like, hooray! I finally submitted my O level cert. so I'd most probably get out of PROVISIONAL ADMISSION STATUS to officially-admitted UB undergraduate.

Also, I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire(again) just now, for the 2nd time, this time, after already watching the Prisoner of Azkaban. When I watched it the very first time, I was like, "WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?" and "HOW COME IT'S LIKE THAT?" or "WHO'S THIS? WHO'S THAT?"... etc.

Now, I understand it what they were talking about, blah blah.

Yeah... :)

I did something new today! Yippee, ok, I played pool today, with the bunch of them, what a mess. Uuh... Gracelynn and Krystel played really well, all of us were just amateurs. But Audrey didn't play, so I don't know. Anyway, I shot quite a few in, and also the white one too, heheh. :x

And then, I also got "hit" the air, and then also, my "stick"(what is it anyway? Stick? hahah) shot up into the lamps, "piang!", No lar, just joking. Didn't break. But it shook pretty bad. That was freakin' funny. lol~

Music was boring, but I got FULL MARKS 25/25 for the first quiz! Like, YIPPEE. And for the assignment, 22/25 marks. Cool! And Maths Quiz 1 also full marks, 5/5! YEAH AGAIN! :D

Anyway, that's all, BYE.

My parents came back from overseas yesterday! Yippee, I got lots of stuff!!! Like, yeahhh-aah. Anyway, finally completed my homework and stuff.

Reached the store, (gazebo!!).
Then, waited 20 minutes or so.
Started setting up when Kumar and fellow helpers came to help.

Followed Xiao Jiu Jiu's car home!

20/5/2006, 12.30pm.
Reached the store, continue to set up stuff.
Sold stuff, waited... waited...
HOW BORING! HOW TIRING! Oh, gosh...

Took luggage, getting ready to leave, VAN won't start!
No battery?

ARGHHHHHHH!!!
STUPID!!! My lil' bro. went to touch the switches plugs... and so he cut the power off to my LAPTOP!!! I already completed my post but now I've to do it again! SO %#*@ frustrating!!!

Mum and Dad are overseas along with Big. Bro.
YEAH... so they've gone for a little bussiness trip.

Now, I'm in charge baybeh! WOOHOO!

OK, uh...

About today, ESL 407 was... weird... ok. No, It was OKAY; BORING... Maths was so LAME. I did those stuff in sec 3. And now he's teaching it "turtle-paced" to us.

Well... well...
MUM is so gonna "chop-chop" us... She reminded us like, super-duper many times before leaving overseas to help her record the chinese wuxia show on Channel 8. But we forgot. We are SO IN TROUBLE!

I don't like my ESL 407 group... they're so BAD. Big bad bullies. They never included me in the group homework discussion. I don't like to mingle with smokers and these kinda people. But, it was just plain "bad" luck that I have to join this blurdy group. They could've contacted me to discuss the stuff with them. But NO! They didn't count me in. That's SO BAD. In the end, they got me SO CONFUSED in class. I'm like, a blur-sotong in that class. I wanna change GROUP!!! Haiz, no chance man... [The past should be forgiven, this is not the case now]

About yesterday's music quiz...
We were told to do a write-up on a piece of music or song that we really like and write it as though we're introducing it someone.

I wrote about... FRANZ FERDINAND. I knew I had to. They're such an amazing band! Turned out Gracelynn too wrote about them. Like, SO COOL!
She wrote about "TAKE ME OUT" while I wrote about "THIS FIRE". Cool eh? FRANZ FERDINAND!!! woo-hoo!!!

Bye.

Hi, I'm mad. Want to know why?
I spent so much time doing this Yellowcard layout.





I've only JUST completed it. Guess what time I started. 3.00pm.

That's why I say I'm MAD!

Ok, enough. After this post, I'm gonna sleep...

haha. Nah, just joking. I'm going to take a shower. Then relax in my room, or complete the rest of my English homework.

Music quiz today was "so-so". I think it's gonna be alright.
Had one lesson only. MUS 116! Music class. 9.00-10.30am.
After that, we went home.

I can't take it!!! OK, I mean, English(ESL 407) was so confusing. 'Cos I was in D, so I'm like, lonely... haven't really "gummed" with the people there. They're so different...

Nevermind.

It was a pretty long day today. Lectures and tutorials spanning from 9am to 3pm.
Well, normally at around 8:25am-8:28am, there'll be a double-decker "new" 154 bus that calls at the bus-stop where I hop on. So, yeah, it's lucky I get to take a comfortable 154 bus. But I was late today, so I missed that particular bus(it's always the same one), I was prepared for the worst... to be squeezing with other commuters in a single-decked old 154 bus. But, hey hey hey! Lucky me, I thought I might be late or something. But 5+minutes passed and another double-decked 154 came! This time, there were less commuters and I even got a seat! Next time, I'll just wait for that particular bus. HAHAHA.

So, normally, the Ngee Ann students would come by to SIM food court to eat, but SIM students wouldn't eat at Ngee Ann? Who said that? We went to Ngee Ann's canteen 3 to have our lunch today. I wonder why... the walking there took 15minutes and walking back took only 5minutes. Weird... But I don't think the gals would be too enthusiastic to go there again. That's because we all got really... really... hot. I mean, literally. Whatcha' thinkin?! ;/ The sun was blazing and we had to climb several little mounts and hills and stairs to get to the canteen. And NO AIR-CON! Not like SIM... hahaha...

Just a little "SIDE STORY"...
Yesterday I told my mum I wanted to buy 4 ring files... then she went to the bookshop to get them for me today. But her character, is always "MUST ask MORE THAN ONCE" type. So, she called me in the afternoon, but I was napping. So, Hong Yong picked up the phone, then he asked me while I was sleeping... HOW many files I want... I don't know how the *#$* I answered him "One". But I did, subconsciously.
Therefore, the moral of the story is, don't ask anyone any questions while they're asleep, cos i guess, almost 100% incorrect. Especially me, surely 100% incorrect.

I told them umpteen times NEVER to take me seriously while I was asleep but they NEVER listen...
It's so frustrating!!! >:(

I went out with my family for lunch today, at Clementi Central... Had western food at the hawker center. Then, I got pretty bloated, in fact, all of us got pretty bloated. Haha! :D

Anyway, maybe we'll be going out at night... I think so, yea. We should be.

Hi, yet another day has passed. I had my first OFFICIAL English lesson today. I think I gotta get used to the American spellings, oh, heck! I don't want to, it's about the same right...? NO lar... oh whatever...

Anyway, none of the people I knew were in my English group, D. KNEW IT...
Nevermind. I can make more friends in this way. I met a girl named... Perlin. She was from Anderson Secondary School. Then came to UB straight, like me. Yeah. But she looks more matured.

We had to do this introductory thing. I had to find out more about her and vice versa. We were given 3 questions to ask.
-Where did you came from before here?
-What's your position(1st, 2nd, 3rd child?)
-What's one interesting thing about you?

Yah... I shan't elaborate further.

Oh! I was late for MATHS class. I waited SO SO long for 154 this morning...
WAIT! Did I tell you my nails are GREEN? Ok, back to the main topic.
So, reached school at about 10.50am, class starts at 10.45am. And there's something wrong with the lecture theatre's clock. It's FASTER.

So I went into class, searched for the peeps... CAN'T FIND THEM!!! Nevermind. Took a seat beside some strangers...
After some looking around, finally found them. So I shuffled... PLACES! Went to sit beside Elizabeth. Yeah... Then Mr. Syed taught... he's so funny man... And so he taught LIMITS. Easy eh... I never learnt that before, but the way he teaches is a slow and steady pace, so it's really easy to understand.

He gives a pretty long break.
GOOD: Rest, toilet break, revise and catch up, ask qn.s if dunno(so far not yet).
BAD: WE PAY THEM $30+/HR to teach us and we get PAUSES?! What the..., some people don't heed "non-smoking" rule and smokes in-campus, came back with BAD BREATH. YUCKS... and the stench of coffee breaths all over the place.

After school, went with Hong Yong and Matthew to a music studio near Chinatown to have my VERY 1st drumming practical lesson. Took me quite awhile to learn the beats he taught me. BUT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! I did it! I could play the hi-hat, snare and bass drum part. It's so FUN!
Look... it's really tiny 'cos we used Hy's handphone.

Kinda cool place, but my ears went "bzzz" after that, 'cos the drums are REAL loud, and MATT plays really hard and LOUD!!!

Then, we went to Peninsula Plaza to check out some guitars, stuff like that. I saw a Green Day t-shirt!!! Yippee! But $15, and the printing is not so good. So, I'll check around other shops before deciding to buy. Anyway, they don't have my size, M there.

At night, went to Orchard with my parents and HY... went to visit Sunglasses and Watches store, Uncle Alvin and Carmen... And Auntie YANG. Ok, had Swensens ice-cream, lingered around for a few hours and went back at 12+am...

Hmm... I got my textbooks already, from a senior, or.. should I say, someone older, I don't know if senior is the right "term". Anyway, I was saying... my new friends and I were having lunch on tuesday, then, before that, we already met while I was queueing for the jap. food, so, I was eating, and he suddenly "pops" up behind Jane, and she said "Wah scare me, thought who..." haha... funny :D He scared her... unintentionally.

But, I got the really HEAVY textbooks from him and paid him $95 for those. Wow, and I brought it along with me all the way to Dad's shop. I wrapped it nicely already, so, next year, I'll sell it, hopefully 70% of original price. "hahaha..." sheeshhh...

Wow! Today's the first day of school, and I'm like, school's kinda cool, I hope... it stays cool. Lol.

Anyway, last Saturday was my parent's wedding anniversary. Yea, we went to the Intercontinental Hotel(does that ring a bell? It's where Franz Ferdinand stayed when they came over to have a concert!) to have our buffet dinner at the Olive Tree. Nice! We ate a lot, and got pretty bloated.

Here... have a look at some pics we took.

Okay, first up... family photo, parents photo... at the dining table.


Next... Mom and I after the buffet... and the GUMMY BEARS!!!


Okay, we tried to take photos like, a lot of times here, to get the "perfect shot", but nah, didn't happen. Anyway, here are a few candids...


Followed by a few better ones. (hehe... BETTER?)


Overall, nice food, but not as good as before. I say, it really did degraded.

Okay, for now, let me tell you about today. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Cool.
I woke up at 7.45am. Had a "considered not bad already" bus ride on 154 to school, walked to the Atrium... phew! Guess who I saw, Loisa, Audrey and Gracelynn. Yeah. No worries. We took a look at the electronic signboard(actually a plasma flat screen tv that's used to show our class timings and classrooms). So, we went to the usual room, 4.14. Had our music lesson, then at 10.30am, had our English written test. We were told to write an essay. Argumentative or Persuasive? I don't know lah.. Hehe... Anyway, the question was...
"Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing games teaches us about life... blah..blah...". You get the point? Yeah. So I wrote... It's okay. Not much of a problem. I agreed, but put a disagreeing point at the end. Then the conclusion.

I checked my email. Just realised that I received a reply from my forum posting. Mr. XXX is selling his 2nd hand textbooks! Let's compare...

Principles of Microecons. *$49 ^$30
Blitzer Maths. *$54.84 ^$30
Music. *$61.43 ^$35
Total= *$165.27 ^$95

*original , ^his price

Difference: $70.27!!! :)

Ok, I hope this goes well... and no one snatches my deal?

Oh! But the Evergreen english book I have to buy myself. No 2nd hand ones... Eww... how much? $32.32!!! Ok, not so bad. Not as bad as the others anyway.

Oh my! How could I have possibly missed out a game on the listings yesterday?! Okay, before foosball, we played a game of captain's ball frisbee. Yep. It wasn't so fab, ran here and there, we didn't win anyway. hehe..

Today, we were given a talk by Mr. Kevin Mckelvy(Resident Director of UB) about the UB program and important things to note. We were supposed to get the 2nd-hand textbooks today. Yes, you guessed it. The stocks were low, and everyone snatched it away before me, yes. I was too slow. It was sold out.

I think it's okay not to have the textbooks for awhile... but I really really want to look at what I'm going to study before class starts. Too bad.

Oh! We have to take this course, Advanced english bla bla bla, and so on next Monday, the FIRST day of school, we got to take a written test to split us up into the 3 different english classes. ARGH!

About thurs, 4th May...

Some juice comin' up people!

Today's Freshman Orientation for UB/SIM. Wah... Unbelievable... I have lots to talk about, people!

Firstly, I woke up at 7.40am. Reached the bus-stop at 8.30am. Missed 154 once, twice... THRICE!!! Sickening... The bus driver's so freakin crappy. I am only one person. His bus can still fit me. But he refused to stop for me. Rubbish. Maybe I should complain. Aiya, but not so free to do that anyway...

So, was supposed to reach at 9am, but ended reaching SIM at 9.15am. No worries. I registered, went into room 4.14 and there were quite a lot of students, the place was pretty filled. A bit of boring talks, and we moved on into different groups. I saw Feng Kai, I was pretty surprised to see him there anyway. But, yea. I did. He's taking a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

Different course. But same UNI. Well... and coincidentally, we ended up in the same group too. I met some new people, made some new friends... total, 6 girls including me. 3, including me, doing the degree after O levels, 2 after A levels and 1 after diploma. They were quite nice anyway. Uhh, 3 of us are doing Comms while the other 3 does Business. They're Jane, Stephanie, Gracelynn, Audrey and Crystal. The guys are all an older bunch. Did their NS whatever already. Oh! Except for Feng Kai. They all call him Kai. But I refuse to shorten my name. They must call me Jia Zhen or at least, J.Z. lar...

Anyway, we had a campus tour, then lunch. It was Mcdonalds. Rubbishy... It was just the bread "kiap"(uh...sandwich-"ing"?) the fish or chicken patty only. No vegetables, sauce, nothing! Eww... tasted weird. And, after that... we headed off to Sentosa. THE WILDEST "fun" begins.

Ok, so we played in our groups...
Games:
1. Minefield.
There was a grid thingy... and we had to solve puzzles, crossing the grids... safely to the end point. Some team-spirit building and also memory work involved. So, if we got into a minefield, we would be bombed. Ok, BOMB. Talking about the bomb... the eewest of EWW. They splashed salty-sea-water on us and then poured like, a LOT of flour on us. Uwgh. YUCKY... We get like, VOILA! Instant hair gel hardness and dandruffy looking hair. It was so sticky, we even joked about baking our hair, making bread. Crystal was the one who got it the worse. The "flour-iest", stickiest amoing all of us.
So we went for a dip in the sea...
2. Spider Web.
Pretty... lame. Hehe... We had to cross the spider webs and get points. Yeah. Long and boring info, I wouldn't talk about it. It was fun.
3. The spin-round-a-pole, get dizzy, climb up a soapy, "flour-y", wetty, salty, slippery slope, get dunked on the t-shirt with seawater, did I mention on all fours? Run all the way to the "green string"(pretty far) and run back to tag the next race.
4. Pass-the-Oreo-Os-mouth-to-mouth-using-shortened-toothpicks
YAWN... Parlour game. Do I even care to elaborate? And we had to alternate between guys and gals. YAWN...(again)...
5. Foosball? -Table soccer.
But without table, enlarged, using humans, bamboo poles and a volleyball. It was quite short, fun? Yeah. Pretty fun. The guy beside me, striker no.1, Sanjiv. Amazing man! The man of the match. Scored 2 goals without a bat of his eyelid. And with so much style and posse! So cool.
6. Sandcastle.
Build a sandcastle. Yea. That's easy. But we got 10 points(full) for just burying our Orientation Group Leader in the sand. Yeah. That's easy.

Then we walked to the showers, it was so so so far away!!! Then... cleansed ourselves before heading off to the departure hall. It was such a long bus ride. The bus just kept turning, turning... and I don't know man. It got me dizzy. I'm so tired. It was scorching hot. So my face is so red now... Gosh.. they should've told us to bring sunblock.

Reached home at 6.50pm anyway, then went to SIM together with mum for the parent's orientation... some talks and, yeah.. Home. Now, it's time to sleep. NITES!

I really think people shouldn't smoke and tobacco and cigarettes shouldn't even be invented at all. Check out this poster!

My Orientation is tomorrow! I'm so not prepared for it. I wonder what kinds of people I will meet. It's definitely going to be different. Why must it be held at Sentosa?!! Ugh...

Check this out... it's from the student council's website.
5.Transportation from SIM to Sentosa on Thursday 4th May will be provided, but there will be no return transportation from Sentosa to SIM.

What?! They expect us to go back ourselves? After bringing us there? It's so cheapskate. They should just throw in the return journey into the orientation.

It's going to be a long day...
From 9am to 6.15pm. Let's hope it'll be fun. I'll have to make new friends! How exciting!

I got my o level certificate today. It's time I get it. I have to submit it before school starts or I wouldn't be allowed to take classes. MUST HURRY!!! Will be showing it to them tomorrow anyway...

Okay, I just don't understand why they must mix the 4 different semester and subjects' students' timetables together. It's such a mess. I can't figure it out! What a bother. I'd have to make it clear tomorrow.

First Sememster will be commencing on 8th May! I will be doing the following four courses...
1. Introduction to Microeconomics(Yawn... What's this?) -(4 credits)
2. Advanced Written English and Reading(huh?) -(3 credits)
3. Survey of Algebra and Trigonometry(ARGH! MATHS!!!) -(4 credits)
4. Theory of Music for Nonmajors :( (Theory of Music?! What the heck?!) -(3 credits)

I haven't got my textbooks yet... so I'd better hurry! I'll most probably be getting the 2nd hand ones, 'cos the textbooks costs a BOMB! Really.

So, anyway...
that's about all for today. I'll be getting up early tomorrow, so I better sleep soon. Oh no! It's midnight already! Goodnight!

It's Labour Day! Let's all go to KK! Haha.. get it? Labour Day--> KK Women and Childrens' Hospital? Heard that from Power 98 Djs Jeremy and Rosalind. Funny seh...

Ooh! I just love doing stuff I haven't done before and experiencing new things... and feelings. Anyway, the bazaar in front of Swensens for us ended yesterday, and Auntie Yang took over our place. We still had business at around 12.30am. So, we started packing from there, putting the goods into their individual boxes and packing up all the stuff, and taking apart the stands and foldable tables. It had been fun. Well, of course our hands got really dirty at the end and it was all dusty black. We went into the Crown Prince Hotel restrooms to wash them.

We cleared the place at around 3am and Auntie Yang came along to set up her shop. Then, ok... for the first time, we stayed back at Swensens and went to get some food 'cos at that time, our stomachs were rumbling already. We had mushrooms and US fries. It was fantastic, I say! The food came at about 4am, 'cos we went in and ordered, and settled down only at around 3.45am. The menu is different from the normal one. There's this Moonlight Delight Menu that runs from 11pm to 7am. So cool. 'Cos that Swensens is a 24-hrs/round-the-clock restaurant/cafe.

Check out our faces. You could tell the sleepiness factor. We look half-asleep aleady.



By the time we got home, it was 4.50am. And after showering etc., I got to bed at 5.10am. Hey! 5.10am?! Whoa...
