Today, lora, chris and nic, huixian, yixian and julia came only. Huimin was too bz with sch so she couldn't turn out... lei and geline decided to come tml.
Was glad tt most of my classmates turned out. Out of the 19 ppl that i invited, 13 turned out! hahaha... really thkful man, they make my chalet look more happening, haha... There's Kev, meifeng, hanwen, simei, wanyu, amin, paul, irene, lili, yitian, spencer, rongshan and gary.
And of course i am very very happy tt my buddies had tried their best and squeezed some time out their precious time and came to my bday!
Some of my relatives came too, and one of my mum's friend came.
My parents and my sis were there too!

Was a poor host, i admit. Thks to my family and kev who helped me really alot.
Sorry to Amin, who didn't get to eat the BBQ food...
In the chalet, there's BBQing, mahjonging, singing karaoke, playing poker cards and chit chatting. I forgot what i was doing.. haha!!

Here are my presents... not completed one... will change to completed one once ready

>>> 二OO六年二月二十日，星期一
好久没与我的死党在 msn mass chat 了。 那感觉很好很好。
自从中四毕业后，大家都各忙各的，也开始结交了新朋友。
不过每逢有人的生日或是节日大家都会抽空出来。
每一次的聚会，都会察觉到大家的改变。
或许如此，我们之间的距离也在改变。
思想偏向同一个方向的就变得要好些。
也许我的思想与她们的都不相同，也许是我孤僻，
我总觉得我离她们的距离是最遥远的。
我喜欢把时间放在学业上，已有的朋友身上，以及家人身上。
我已懒得应酬，懒得在体育上争取什么。
我很害怕后悔。
我不爱追求什么梦想，我只想珍惜身边的人。
这，算是没志气，算是在浪费人生吗？
每个人都有自己想追求的。
理想与梦想不一定要伟大。
理想不一定听或看起来要像个所谓的“理想”。
毕竟天地万物的意思都是人所给予它的。
我只想拥有一个快乐与健康的家庭，无论是现在或未来。
世上有太多有趣好玩的东西，也有太多要想追求的事。
有时不过是一时的冲动，一时的好玩，
便盲目的追求，以为那便是你想要的生活。
也许慢下你的脚步，多看看身边的人与事物，
你会发现最美的东西，最美的事与人，已经发生在你身旁。

In the morning, I met up with feng to zap somethings. Really paiseh to trouble her to come down and accompany go zap things.
After feng went home, i went to meet my sis and mum for breakfast. We went to Shop 'n' Save and i drew out the shopping list for my Chalet.

Went to TM to watch <<小孩不笨2>> with Kev.
It is quite touching at many parts of the whole show, and also a lot of Singaporean-humour sense in it.

Actually, everyone noes what should be the way and wat shdn't be the way. But in reality, where the envt is giving u so much pressure, can u really do wat u wanna do?Do u think ur parents really wanna force u to study? They noe tt studying, esp for the sake for examz, can be a real headache, too!

But there's one thing tt's quite right. Singaporeans are kinda "stingy" about praising others. I am one of them, too. I love to suan ppl since sec sch. It seems to be my way of communication. When I suan u, tt's mean u are my good friend. If i dunno the person well, i won't dare to suan him/her. Coz i am afraid tt i would offend others. But most of the time, words juz come out of my mouth before i am able to think 1st. Kinda too candid sometimes, hope u all dun mind me...
Coming back to the praising part, i will try my best. But i felt tt praise usually sound very bootlicking, haha... I would only praise when i really feel tt way.

Maybe i cut down on my praising due to poor responses...
Recalling when i was doing sales. I praised a few customers, and those words really came from my heart, yet they felt tt i was juz trying to puch sales and went off, feeling a bit... disgusted or something. I wanna tell them, "hey, i dun earn commissions ok??? Dun think every sales promoters are cunning lor..."

Actually, even some customers from other countries dun like praises too, esp from sales promoter. Perhap, ppl nowadays think too much. A praise may seem to have too many meaning for them and it's a cautious move whether to accept or not. And getting such unwelcome responses too many times will discourage ppl to praise.. It's like what the Orgn'l Beh' Reinforcement Theory says - Behavior of ppl will adjust according to the consequences from tt act.

After shopping for a while, I went back to Ubi to have dinner with my family. My dad's treat, he spent all his earnings from last nite's taxi driving. But he was very happy.
Almost quarrelled with my brother on a very trivial thing over the dinner table... Actually i think my tone was a bit harsh juz now lah... and we got a bit of generation gap, so comm cocked up *bleah* But i shut up to stop the quarrel, dun wanna upset my parents and spoil their mood for eating 鱼头炉.

13th February 2006, Monday
Okay, yest marks the end of CNY. Today is Yitian's Bday, i hope tt she likes the present we gave her ;p
Thks Spencer ;p for collecting for me the roses and keeping them in his room until Law Lec.

Guess kev and i quarrelled, but i really thk him for accompanying me to deliver flowers... We met up with Mansell @ Bedok Interchange to pass him the flowers. After tt, we took Bus no. 2 to go Tanah Merah Besar Lane... which is near the Changi Women's Prison.

On our way there, we stopped at the Condominium next to the Changi Women's Prison to "activate" the luminuous flowers. It was kinda dumb to spray the liquid of the lightstick into the ppr-made flowers... But it was fun to see kev spray and getting himself into a mess... if these flowers were really for me and i have seen the trouble he went thru juz to "activate" the luminuous flowers, i will be touched, even thou it's ppr flowers...it's the tot tt counts ba.
So we make use of the flowers and took a few pix

hehe... this is me and kev and the luminuous blue flowers. Nice???








We went to search for Mr. David's home so as to deliver the flowers to his wife (isn't my ex-boss sweet???) We searched the whole lane of Tanah Merah Besar Lane, but we couldn't find his unit number... Then luckily, a couple in a car told us tt it is build at the entrance of the lane but slightly further down the road.
Mr. David didn't follow the seq... 122a - z should be in the same row, but he very special, his was on the other end... tgt with his siblings' Bungalows.
Finally found his house, but his wife dun dare to open the gate. So i had to call the house phone and ask her open the gate. Anyway, if i were her, i won't dare to step out of the door @ nite too... It's so ulu there...
Mr. David was generous to ask his wife to pass me sn angbao since it's over CNY liao. After like 3 years tt i had left his co. He said he wanna come for my bday, but dunno whether he can make it or not...


14th February 2006, Tuesday
It's English Valentine's Day!!! Thks Yitian for the card and chocolate, it was really sweet of u to do tt for us ;p and the rose at the top corner was really very very beautiful!!!

It's my 1st time in my 20yrs, 11months and 22days of my life tt i celebrated Valentine's Day and celebrated it not with friends. Anyway, lessons ended @ 1630. By the time we reached Werner's Oven restaurant @ Siglap near the Goodwill center, it was almost 1900 (our reservation time). Luckily, we got there in time. Kev ordered Pork Knuckles which is the famous dish there and i ordered Sirloin Steak. The Pork Knuckle was crispy but really oily... their steak was ok, consider not bad.
I like the restaurant on tt day coz there wasn't any crowd. It was full or almost full, but not crowdy, unlike restaurants in town during special occasion.


this is kev, looking thru the glass with the candle in it.
I took this pix. nice????

This is me!!!!










After tt, we went Siglap Center for a while b4 we left for Bedok.
We went to a playgrd to eat the chocolate and marshmallows he had prepared for me.

this is the chocolate he made for me, thks dear, i noe tt u spent alot of time doing tt and had to do it late at nite after sending me home... Thk you so much!!!
I think we kinda exchanged roles... i made a rose for him, keke...

The results that i am waiting for finally released...
I am accepted for Minor in Entrepreneurship!!! But...
i din noe whether to accept it or not... coz I dunno whether i am ready to sacrifice my March for this course. One thing is i have to reach home really late almost everyday... and another most impt pt is tt i am afraid tt i can't cope. What if my core subjects suffer????
I was really in a dilemma...


The 12th day of CNY -- 9th Feb 2006, Thursday
Went to Ziwei's bday party @ NSHomeTeam Chalet @ Pasir Ris Pk there... It's so DarN DEEP in... Luckily Ziwei and Yonghao drove out to fetch me, lei, geline and kev... the road in was really pitch dark. Very Scary wor...
But the chalet itself is big and nice. With 3 rooms and a toilet at the upper level.
Debra was so nice, helping Ziwei to BBQ all the food. We were quite board and went up to the room to play poker cards since his army friends are using the Mahjong table. We played "gerrum" (i dunno how to spell lah, the game tt needs a passport and a bit like Mahjong one...)
As i had classes @ 0830 the next day, i went off early with kev. It was really nice of Ziwei to send us out all the way to the mrt stn. Thank you very very muchie ;p


The 14th day of CNY -- 11th Feb 2006, Saturday
Went to TM with Kev to get Jolene's Bday present.
Then in the evening, we met up with Geline to go for Jolene's Bday Party @ NSRCC Chalet near Changi. Her chalet was decorated with balloons and colourful scrap ppr with the help of her Poly coursemates and friends. Saw a few TMS ppl - Getassha, Ivan, Angela, Clarence, Ruiwen and Kway Soe. Ppl from TPPC including Eugene (Jolene's bf, so surely there, keke).
It was so sweet to receive a door gift from her. It was a cute little ppr bag with cookies in them.


The 15th day of CNY -- 12th Feb 2006, Sunday
Today is wat we call the 元宵节, Chinese's Valentine's Day.
I worked the whole day today... almost the full shift...
Thks Kev, for buying 汤圆 for me after my work and sending me home.
As we sat there and eat the 汤圆, the fireworks was gg on at the other side, think maybe Chinatown or wat, we couldn't see but we can hear the sound of fireworks.

>>The 7th day of CNY -- 4th Feb 2006
Today is 人日, which is birthday of human beings.
And early in the morning, krv accompanied me for the Minor in Entrepreneurship interview.
Sze Chiah came slightly late but was in time for the interview since they orientated us late...
There are 2 interviewers. My interviewer was a guy name Jimmy Ong, an undergrad who took Minor in Entrepreneurship 2 years ago. The other interviewer had not shown up even after i had finished my interview. Probably, he couldn't make it or something.
I was not very nervous at 1st, but i get more nervous as the conversation become more personal. He said i didn't sound like singaporean, i wondered why. I always speak like a Singaporean i tot.
Kevin went to his JC teacher's house to 拜年 in the evening.


>>The 8th day of CNY -- 5th Feb 2006

Mrs Lim is much better now i think, but she still need some rest as she feels tired easily.
At the end of the visit...

>>>1st day of CNY - 29th Jan
Trying to study at home before the visits begin.
As usual, visiting of father's side today.
Until late afternoon den we set off to my aunty's house @ Bukit Gombak.
As usual, we would start to chat, then play poker cards. And haha! i won about $20 bucks. keke...

Den at nite, we went to find da gu @ yew tee... my cousin's car rim was scratched due to the narrow-structured multi-level carpark. He was so pissed off that he was scolding the carpark for quite some time. keke... furthermore, before tt happen he was already very pissed tt my another cousin nv wait for him juz now when they drove to yew tee. He got lost at bukit panjang area....


>>>2st day of CNY - 30th Jan
This day is visiting mother's side
meet up with aunt Doris and her children for visiting. This year, we only went 2 places, usually was 3 places.
Then out of that 2places we went, one was not at home... haha!!! so we only visited one...

And for tt one, 2 of my cousins kena summons!!!! WT... Their carpark parking was kinda dumb.
Red box - no parking for visitors on sunday and PH... 7am to 7pm.
White box - All fully parked!

Hey, it's Chinese New Year!!! Most ppl are not at home as they went for visiting. And most ppl who wanna park are the visitors! Seeing tt there are so many parking lots available for the season parking only, we tot it would be all right to park there for a while. We only went up for 30 min and both of them got summons. And the person came juz when we went up (looking at the timing on the summon tickets).

I think they should change the regulation a bit:
Red Box - no parking for visitors on sunday and PH (except CNY, Hari Raya and Deepavali - coz these are visiting season!)... 7am to 7pm.

At nite, 3 families (including mine) went to Jumbo Restaurant @ Serangoon Garden for celebration of CNY.

Here are the 3 Families' "Heads"...


















My parents, my dad's youngest sis and husband, my dad's 2nd elder sis and husband.
