BBQ

Met up with Shuixian and Samantha at Serangoon mrt station around 4+pm...again was early but Sam was even earlier.

Yifen came next and after waiting for Shuduan, Mindy and Yuanlin, we shared a cab to go to Shuixian's place. Peishi arrived next, followed by Wanjun and finally Tzehan and her bf.

We took some time to start the fire before we started with the chicken wings and sausages. Quite hungry by the time we were preparing the food. There was fried rice which I ate alittle. I like the otah and the sweet corn the best. Tried Peishi's recommendation-banana with nutella...quite interesting but a little sweet cos she put alot.

We left around 10+pm. Had a good time catching up...next week school will reopen and I just realised I forgot to register for Practicum 2! Have to wait until add/drop day.

Why?

Went to California in Somerset in the morning to attend Bodycombat...as I was leaving the club, decided to check when my membership expires...was told coming November. According to the GM, the guy who signed me up has left the club so there's this promotion going for such members.

I have to pay $289 monthly for 1 year before I pay $8 per year for the subsequent years...tempting offer considering that it's a lifetime rate and there's 12 1- month passes and a gift pack.

After considering for awhile, decided to sign up for it...less than an hour later, Dad called saying that Diners called him asking if there's a purchase of $3000 over, they wish to verify...He's upset that I signed up for the club after the other time when he was against me signing up for the membership. Tried to explain to him that the subsequent years i only need to pay $8 per year for the membership but he insists that we talk about it at home tonight...Think there'll be more scolding ahead...haiz...why can't he understand that I'm just signing up for a fitness membership and not something that will waste my time and money???

Hopefully he'll be able to see where I'm coming from and allow me to continue with it...think can't cancel the purchase if im not wrong...

Had lunch with Delong at Sushi Tei in Paragon before heading to Orchard Library to borrow some books...still can't find Memoirs of a Geisha...either on loan or missing from the catalogue. Managed to find the gingerbread man and gingerbread woman from Chocz at Paragon...hope that it'll still be edible by the time it lands in the hands of Mr Tay.

Tops

Met Jiahui around 230pm at Orchard today...went to Wisma and Taka and since it wasn't raining, we walked down to Heeren and Far East Plaza...managed to get a pink top from Far East at $15. Chanced upon Joyce from AMKSS, she's also out shopping with her friend. Chatted for awhile before we went our separate ways.

Felt hungry so we went to Sakura after I passed Jolene the California gold membership application card. It's $79 per month, I still have 2 cards left, offer ends by Jan 06 so if anyone of you is interested, do let me know asap.

We took a bus (SBS 7) to Bugis. Over at Bugis street, I managed to get a orange polo top for $10. Quite a good bargain. Jiahui accidentally stepped on the back of my sandals and the strap broke so had to go look for a pair of sandals. Managed to find one from Leather Ark in Bugis Junction costing $28. Jiahui offered to pay half the price. We took the train back and it was quite crowded. Luckily don't have to stand too long before I got a seat. Quite tired from all the walking...need to train shopping stamina again.

Sun with Moon



Met up with Dave at Wheelock Place to get lunch at Sun with Moon, a japanese restaurant I intended to try out since some time ago...

Tried the zaru soba and tofu cheesecake...the cheesecake really tasted very good...not too sweet.

Checked out Mango sale at Isetan but didn't managed to find any tops that I fancy. Hope they slash the prices further and I can find nice tops for practicum 2.

Bought a small original Absolute Vodka cos like the bottle...managed to get the Andy Lau CD at Sembawang Music Centre for the cheapest px I could find $22.90...will be listening to it later.

Photos galore








California Gym

Met Celina for Bodycombat in Somerset Cali at 1030am. Had a gd workout before we left for lunch at Scotts foodcourt. Tried the tom yam kway teow...taste quite nice as the tom yam is clear soup type.

Checked out Andy Lau's new album at gramophone...quite expensive...$26+, most probably check in Sembawang Music Centre tmr.

Went to Far East and met Jolene at the toy collector's store eXarth. Celina and myself went to Yakun for some toast and coffee before we call it a day. Have arranged to meet Dave tmr at Wheelock Place in the late morning. Most probably will try out the japanese restaurant with the tofu cheesecake...have delay it for quite sometime.

Shopping

Met Josh last evening to find some chocolates and gingerbread cookies he needed to get for his friends for Christmas.

Managed to get the chocs from Candy Empire in Millenia Walk. Got the gingerbread from Olio Dome in Suntec. I went to Bodyshop to get some bodybutter for mum and concealer for sis while I bought the white musk too edt.

Had his dinner at Marche before taking the train back. Spent a nice time catching up.

Back from trip

Finally reached Singapore late last night...luckily the flight wasn't delayed or will reach home even later...

Before going home, we went for Jalan Kayu Roti Prata...taste so good...haven't eaten it for quite some time.

Decide to rest for 1 day before heading for the gym tmr...will be developing the photos at Orchard tmr too...hope to try out the Jap restaurant with the Tofu Cheesecake...=P

Guess where...

It's the 5th day of the Hokkaido tour and we are now located at the Chitose airport...tonight we are living in the hotel in the airport itself...it's the first time we're living in an airport hotel and frankly, today we had quite alot of good food so feeling very full...

Thus far, today we had a rather packed schedule, waking up early by 5:15am. We visited the two waterfall called silver river and shooting star then we proceeded to Ainu Village to watch a cultural show, then we headed for the music box shop. I managed to buy one small wooden music box with a japanese tune, have to wind the music box ourselves first before music can be heard.

We went to the seaport market to have taraba which is the big crab and it tasted really good. We had to rush down to the white chocolate factory before it closes at 7pm. We saw how the chocolate biscuits were made and had time to try out the cake and ice-cream there. The chocolate cake was really rich and tasty. Otaro park was the next destination. We had another crab meal but this time tried the hairy crab. Of course it is not as tasty as what we had in the afternoon. By 10pm, we have checked into our hotel and by tomorrow we will be back in tokyo. If only we can travel by train or coach instead of plane...quite sick of taking flights especially when there's delay due to heavy traffic flow in the airport...waste time flyhing around in circles in the air...

By the way, caught the sunrise on the plane to Hokkaido the other day...quite magnificent. At least now I've caught both the sunrise and sunset on the plane before. =) Will blog more about the trip when back in Singapore, with photos too.

Feeling lazy

In the end, didn't managed to meet up with my two friends as one of them couldn't make it for lunch...gotta wait till after 27th Decemeber or later before we meet up...

Feeling lazy and reluctant to go for my piano lesson later in the evening...but don't seem to have a choice. Unless I fall sick i suppose...but wouldn't want that to happen now cos tonight I'll be setting off for Japan! After the last trip years ago, really miss the food and the sights of the country...although everything is super expensive there but the quality of service is guaranteed...if only the service standards in Singapore is as good...we still have alot to learn from them...

The flight is scheduled late at night, so will be sleeping on the plane...will be visiting the white chocolate factory for the first stop...looking forward to tasting the delicious white chocolate...should be able to observe how they make them! Can hardly wait for the tour to begin!

发如雪

词:方文山 曲:周杰伦

*狼牙月 伊人憔悴 我举杯 饮尽了风雪 是谁打翻前世柜 惹尘埃是非 缘字诀 几番轮回 你锁眉 哭红颜唤不回 纵然青史已经成灰 我爱不灭 繁华如三千东流水 我只取一瓢爱了解 只恋你化身的蝶 你发如雪 凄美了离别 我焚香感动了谁 邀明月 让回忆皎洁 爱在月光下完美 你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪 我等待苍老了谁 红尘醉 微醺的岁月 我用无悔 刻永世爱你的碑*

(RAP:你发如雪 凄美了离别 我焚香感动了谁 邀明月 让回忆皎洁 爱在月光下完美 你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪 我等待苍老了谁 红尘醉 微醺的岁月)

Repeat *

(RAP:你发如雪 凄美了离别 我焚香感动了谁 邀明月 让回忆皎洁 爱在月光下完美 你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪 我等待苍老了谁)

你发如雪 凄美了离别 我焚香感动了谁 邀明月 让回忆皎洁 爱在月光下完美 你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪 我等待苍老了谁 红尘醉 微醺的岁月 我用无悔 刻永世爱你的碑 啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦儿啦 铜镜映无邪 扎马尾 你若撒野 今生我把酒奉陪 啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦 啦儿啦儿啦 铜镜映无邪 扎马尾 你若撒野 今生我把酒奉陪

Like the lyrics of this song...find it rather poetic and it has a nice tune too.

北海道

今天本來約了兩個朋友一同吃晚餐,但其中一位臨時有事所以改成明天下午才會面。

明天晚上將飛往東京才轉機前往北海道。那裡的氣溫會相當低所以帶了不少厚厚的衣服。期待看到雪景,還有製作音樂盒的地方。每天還能吃到我最喜愛的日本料理,希望回來之后不會體重有變化!

孤單


孤單一人
來到世上
繽紛色彩
眾人欣賞

琴聲隨風
飄向遠方
海浪卷起
人海茫茫

喜怒哀樂
有人分享
人生從此
不再孤單

Chicken Little


Think the movie is quite funny and interesting...hope to catch it before I go away for the Hokkaido trip...counting down: 10 more days!

浪漫滿屋




Completed watching Full House last night...borrowed it from my cousin. Felt that the female lead 宋慧喬 is really pretty...耐看形,while Rain can be rather boyish and cute...grade the drama 7/10 =)
