Last Day
Today is the last day. Sian..
Back to another semester (or two) of studying and missing gD food and people~
But i suppose.. I'll also be able to see my aussie friends~ So that's something to loOk forward to.. and of coz.. a certain issue holds toO.
Spent most of the day packing and doing abit of house-keeping~
I can say its almost done.. but it seems I won't be able to bring along my blender. =\
Oh well.. get one there I suppose.
Yesterday was my last day out and I watched 2 movies~! haha.. being the rather movie-fanatic that I am.. I caught "L: Change the World" (the 3rd Death Note movie) and "CJ7"~! =D
Caught the Death Note movie in the afternoon and then right after it ended.. I went to meet Yanyin for dinner @ Ichiban Boshi at Wisma~ That was close to 6pm~
I love Ichiban Boshi.. omG. I had the "Don Don Zen" set, which was fantabulous.. It came with spicy salmon sashimi w/ rice.. unagi w/ egg on a bed of rice.. tempura soft-shell crab.. cold tofu.. soup and slices of orange (which we both rejected.. coz we didn't like oranges. lol~)
Yanyin had a grilled fish (which I cannot remember the name!) and topped it with a chawamushi rice set~
We shared a plate of Pumpkin Croquettes.. which, as weili calls it, are "tiny ballz of heaven"~ xD
It really is that DELICIOUS~! omG. Whoever goes there has got to try it.
I helped myself to a second serving of the croquettes.. Yanyin was toO full already~
*yuMmmmm~
After dinner.. "CJ7" was next @ Cineleisure~ It was a really nice movie in my opinion. It has both the hilariousness of a comedy.. as well as touching, heart-warming moments of your typical drama~ All in all.. I'd give it 4 stars.. coz I'm such a generous person~ xD
I absolutely love the adorable CJ7 puppy-loOkin' thingy.. I wish I could buy one~ lol
And of coz.. the teacher was gorgeous as well~ =X
After which we bid farewell for the last time.. and I decided to hurry over to HMV to purchase not 1.. but 2 Mika stuffs~! 1 DVD and 1 CD~ hahaha.. it was quite the spur of the moment and I'm glad i did what i did~ lol
Cab was next.. because I did not want to waste my precious minutes in a slow-moving bus.
(Fyi.. I hardly take cabs these days)
Oh yes.. I haven't commented on the Death Note movie now have I?
*SPOILER ALERT*
It was 2 hrs long.. and the story was alright~ The main focus was obviously on "L" and how he spent his remaining 23 days solving a certain case that kinda concerned the fate of the human race.
The movie was filled with comical moments portrayed through "L".. for example.. he tried to stand-up straight for once and he couldn't walk properly. haha~ And there's this habit of his where he types his keyboard one letter at a time.. and with his funny face-mask on! hahaha.. Absolutely hilarious. xD
But at the end of it all.. I suppose a saD ending was inevitable.. coz as we all know.. he has to die after those 23 dayz~ =\
But the thing which surprised mE the most was when he sent that lil' boy to his orphanage for geniuses and gave him the name... ..."Near"~ =OO
That boy was gonna be the famous "N"~!
Obviously.. the movie drifted from the manga.. coz all you manga fans would know that N & M toOk over the Kira case when L died.
*End of Spoilers*
How time passes so quickly.. Already I'm gonna embark on my 3rd year.. Just 2 more years and its the work force for mE.

biFdaY . CNY and more
Its been awhile...
Certain things have happened since my last post..
Some joyful... while others =\
A re-cap of some of them:
1. Yanyin's 21st ~ 26/1/2008
First and foremost.. Here's my delayed post on Yanyin's biFdaY~ =)
Yanyin invited us to her place for her 21st biFdaY party~ It was most kind of her.. and i truly appreciated her thoughtfulness~
I must say.. the catering was rather nice.. though I wish I had eaten more? lol~ I guess I was afraid I might accidentally whip up my insatiable hunger spree and devour everything that was presented so nicely on the table~! haha. =X
Oh and the cake was just huge-mongously massive~ haha~ If i'm not wrong.. it was a 3 or 5kg cake was it yanyin? A very nice Pink "Key" cake that certainly added that extra "Umph" to the event~ A beautiful cake fitted for the dainty host herself~ ;)
It was nice to meet her sister and dad toO~ And I also caught a glimpse of her brother as well.. though I had actually never knew she had one~ Oops =P
We spent most of the late evening "dai-di-ing" away.. playing with some of yanyin's other uni friends such as Jack~ Nice ppl I must say~
When all of her other guests had left.. mE and fiz then made our way back via caB.. seeing as how it was about 1 - 2 am already~ =P
To my surprise.. the cab fee did not amount to what I had expected. It was only about $23.. considering that we had to travel from Bukit Batok all the way to Marine Terrace.. stopping midway to drop fiz @ Toa Payoh~ And of coz... with the dreaded midnight 50% surcharge. And it was only $23... Sweet~ =)
Pics from the night~

2. Yanyin's Pressie
Deciding a present for yanyin toOk some time~ Why? - Coz its her 21st.. and 21st's are suppose to be special and "wow-like"~ lol.
Initially.. I was contemplating between certain items... such as fragrances and those large hug-able cushions~ But in the end.. it all felt toO "common" in a sense.
Thus.. with the help of my ole' pal willy wong.. I decided to create something from scratch for her.. something unique and personal.
We did it through the night of the 25th.. all the way from 9 or so till 6.30am~ =)
It was certainly tiresome and draining on us... but in the end.. I think u'd agree.. the end product was all worth it~ My very first D.I.Y present~
And of coz.. with the gracious and creative mind of willy's.. this is what resulted~
May the pictures do the talking:~

. Niceeee~ =D .
. Boxed up and ready to go .
. Hope you like it =) .
3. Day-out with Yanyin ~ 4/1/2008
Had an enjoyable time today~ Went shopping for CNY clothes at centrepoint - Bought an Esprit pants and a Nike Tee~ =)
Yanyin finally decided she wanted to eat @ Wang Xin HK Cafe at cineleisure~
Hmm.. we ordered some dim sums to fill us.. I had the peanut butter bread (which was a mistake... could not finish~ >.<) and she had a sponge cake~ Ying Yong drink for mE.. and a glass of warm barley for her~
After tea.. we went up to catch "The Mist"~ And boy was it a nice show~ =) To mE.. it was interesting and suspenseful through till the end~ And the ending was really a saD one~ Still can't believe that....... *spoiler spoiler* =(
Yanyin said she still felt for the main protagonist even after reaching home~ I guess mE toO~ Come evening.. we headed to the arcade at Suntec (suggested by her.. which surprised mE. Hehe. But it was all gD and fun~)
After all the merciless shootings and smacking on the arcade machines.. we finally had dinner @ Sakae below~ I enjoyed the company and the day was just fun~ But most of all.. the sharings with her were the most meaningful to mE.. and I most certainly cherish them~
Thanks yanyin~ =)
P.S: For those of you who are "thinking" into this.. I shall state clearly that Yanyin's one of the best friends I've come to know.. Someone I can confide in.. share my joys & woes with.. and be a friend.
And I'm sorry.. but she has a loving bf, Kenny, who's a great guy~ ;)
4. CNY~
It seems CNY is getting to be less exciting for mE and feels rather "normal" these days. Gone are the days when I'd be loOking forward to visitations and collecting the massive amounts of hong baos? lol~
I suppose I'm catching on on age~ xD
Chu-3 at willy's was something I very much loOked forward to~ A full-day with the guys hackin' away on DoTa and Bleach.. and having a mouth-watering steamboat for dinner~ =D~~
Something was on my mind ever since dinner started... something that bothered mE.. and troubled mE. Something so disappointing... it was utterly depressing.
Only some of you know what exactly was plaguing mE..
But in the end... after much emotional defeat... I suppose I managed to get back up and loOk ahead~
5. Flight Changes ~ 11/2/2008
Today was probably one of the most horrible days I've had this holiday~
The initial plan was to return to Perth on the 16th feb with her~ But... due to flight ticketing complications.. I was unable to change to the 23rd morning.. which was what she had planned to do~ Naturally.. I was distraught and oh-so-very disappointed.... =(
Throughout the entire day (literally).. I tried every means to get things right.. made many calls to STA Travel and Qantas... but at the end of the day.. i could only get the 23rd night flight~ =(
However.. come the following day.. by a stroke of compassion and goodwill.. I was able to make the change to the 23rd morning~ =)
Done with the help and thoughtfulness of my dear mother. =)
*Love you mother* ~ You're the Best~
6. 13/2/2008 ~ =)
Today I went out with her.
=)
~.. Someone who always puts a smile on my face ..~
~.. there is no other.. but you ..~

First Job . First Exp . First Pay
I've been wanting to blog about Yanyin's 21st biFdaY celebrations which toOk place last Saturday.. but have yet to receive any of the pics~! arGhhh... lol~
Patience my boy.
I shall wait.
So I shall delay that post for now~
In the meantime.. some updates~
Just ended my month-long vacation job at International Press Softcom (IPS) just 2 days ago~ I know some of you are wondering... o.O? I've never heard of that company before toO.. but it is kinda big~ For starters.. it's a listed company.
Anyways.. I managed to get a spot working as a HR assistant through one of my uncles who is the VP for corporate business development~ So i guess... lucky mE?
And I finally got my first pay-check~ whoO~ First job.. first pay-check~ Not toO bad for starters I would say.
Its amazing how one can foster such close bonds with your colleagues despite spending only a month there~ Lynette.. Nanette.. Eunice.. Mr. Sng.. Vanessa.. Mr. Michael Tan (my boss)~ Most of whom are parents with young children. And its nice to hear them talk about taking care of their young etc..
Lynette resembles one of my cousins.. whilst Nanette just seems so cute for her age, talking about her young kids and just her character.. the way she speaks~
Furthermore.. what kinda surprised mE was.. they invited mE to join them for "loh-hei" somewhere the week after~ I mean.. I've only been there a month.. and yet they treat mE like "family" in a sense. I suppose one thing gD about my department is that there doesn't seem to be any grisly office politics~ Everyone is genuinely friendly and kind to one another~
Having said that though.. our boss can be quite a temperamental fellow~ I've experienced my share of seeing him blast Mr. Sng and Vanessa on several occasions~ I guess.. bosses will always be so~
Oh, as for my pay.. I got S$1,714.29 for working from 27th Dec '07 to 31st Jan '08~ That amounts to 1 month 2 days of work? I reckon that's not toO bad for my first job~
To be honest.. I was working more for the exposure and to pass some of the time.. than the actual pay~ But nonetheless.. I'm happy I got that amount~ =)
Well that ends the chapter on my first job~
Fyi~ I'm flying back on the 16th of Feb.. though semester only starts on the 25th of Feb~ The only reason? heh.. Some of you out there know~ I hope it will account for something~
~waiting~
