26 August 2007, Sunday
A farewell dinner was organised. We were supposed to meet 6.30pm at Marina Bay MRT. I was already going to be late and it happened that I will be even later coz I went to help an 80-yr-old uncle who had fallen down.

He was burning offerings with his wife along the pavement when all of the sudden his legs gave way and he fell backwards. He was trying to get up by himself slowly when I saw him. Many people had said before, when an old person falls down, DO NOT help them up! Coz their blood might just rush up suddenly and they may faint or something. (Lemme noe if u noe the true scientific explanation ;p)
I don't know how true is that, but I rather believe it than to regret later. So I allowed him to stand up slowly before I held onto him. The auntie who had alerted me that the old man had fallen down came forward to help, too. As we were holding onto him, another uncle came to help, too.
As his wife continued to burn the offerings, we helped him to the void deck and let him rest there. He asked for his walking stick which is at his house. Following his neighbour who I happened to know, I went up to his house to get his walking stick from his daughter.
His daughter was sitting at the sofa enjoying her apple. When I told her that I need to get the walking stick from her coz her dad had fallen down, she was not a bit worried at all! She was even happier when I tell her that I will bring down the walking stick coz she would not need to go down on her own *Dumbfounded*
I passed the walking stick to the old uncle who said that he wanted to rest there for a while more before going back home with his wife, and I left for the gathering with the girls.

I took a cab and since Huixian is at Aljunied MRT, I went there to pick her up and go to Marina South together. We wanted to pick Julia up at Marina Bay MRT too. But Julia wanted to wait for the rest of the girls and so we went straight to Marina South 1st to look for seats 1st.

In the end, Lora and her bf-to-be went to pick Lei and Edmund, so Julia ended up alone at the MRT waiting for Min and Xian. I guess she was getting a little impatient ;) But tonight is her day, so she was not angry at all, hahaha... guess she knows our style liao. Being late is like a practice, but I am trying to get rid of it soon, back to the old punctual me.

Having Steamboat can be really messy, oily and sweaty... But it was quite fun once in a while :)
Look at our food *yummy*
Group photos (Taken with the help of a stranger who's eating there too)
After the Dinner, Lora and her bf-to-be went home 1st. Actually I appreciate Lora's effort for coming down with her sore throat... The rest of us went for Bowling, even thou Edmund did not bowl. We splitted into 2 teams. Lei, Xian and Me one team. Min, Yuan and Huixian another team.

Look at our poise
1st Round Scores
2nd Round Scores
Our team lost in the 1st round but won by a few pins in the 2nd round.
Overall winner team is Min, Yuan and Huixian.
Top Scorer of the Day is Yuan: 124

I felt that we played really well!!! Haha, it had been ages since we had touched a bowling ball.
And here are the best 3 pictures of the day:
1) Hui Min's unwilling expression when taking photo with Lora
2) Julia's way of passing her message
3) Shin Leei's "back to old school" High socks image

24th August 2007, Friday

Went for the talk on "Doing Business in China". The speakers came from different background and it was quite interesting to listen to their speech.

There was one speaker who spoke in pure Chinese, so the people attending the talk who are non-chinese can only read some of the english translation on his slides... I think they must have been quite lost.

It was almost 9pm when the talk ended. Glad to see Liu Tong and William there coz we had not seen one another for quite long after we grad from Minor Batch 7.

After the talk, Dear Dear and I went to Jurong Point Fish & Co to celebrate our 21 mths ;p It had been quite some time since we last had dinner at a restaurant, hahaha!!!



Yummy food! We ordered platter for one, which excluded the Oyster which I don't really eat, but their calamaries quantity is so much that I felt as if they could never disappear from my plate, wahaha! And we ordered their Fish and Chips. And we got a voucher for a complimentary dish for our next visit as we paid the meal with Citibank card ;p Shall make good use of that voucher.

21st August 2007, Tuesday

Kev and I went for the E&I forum and we meet Sophia there! She had graduated but she came down purposely for this talk as it was a forum involving some entrepreneurs telling us what are the roadblocks they face when doing business and when they are starting to do a business...

Sophia is still doing her Cup Cakes Business, so I went to her blog to take a look. You know what came to my mind when i saw her cup cakes??? Fairy tales!!! They are so colourful! Take a look ;p


Here is her website if u are interested to see more of her creation:

>> Going Back to TMS
It rained heavily that morning... dampen the motivation of those who wanted to attend TMS Alumni AGM...

Eventually, left Josh and I attended the AGM. We Tai, Mansell, Wei Nong and Yips who came did not want to go in to listen, they left the school soon.

When i stepped into TMS that day, a lot of memories floated in my mind... The most memorable place in TMS to me is actually the school parade square.
Why?
Firstly, we assemble there every morning for flag raising. Secondly, my favourite lesson, PE, is held there. Thirdly, I have to do sports captain duty there with members from TAF club, lastly and most importantly, I have netball training there...

The AGM was small, not many people attended. I was voted in by Clement and Noormah to be the exco member... Even though I am not too sure if I am able to contribute much to the club, I did not reject it. I just wanna help if I can. If there was no TMS, I wouldn't have all my good friends now...

Interested in wat's happening in TMSA? Just click the link below :)

>> Angeline's 22nd Bday Celebration
Not forgeting, Angeline's Bday at Cafe Iguana in the evening @ Clarke Quay.
It is a cafe selling Mexican food. I guess most of us are not too used to eating Mexican food, we couldn't finish the food. Perhaps I should have ordered steak instead of Chicken Buriton, which was wrapped in a thick layer of "prata". I ate 2/3 of the Chicken Buriton and I gave up on the remaining 1/3...
Here's Geline and Jim. Geline, why u didn't look at my camera??? Both of u have great smile :D
Everyone, smilez!!!

Front row: Min, Xian, Geline, Lora
Back row: Ronald (1st time he joins us for this kind of occasion), Lei (she's wearing the bday present we gave her!), Chris, Me, Edmund, Yong Hao, Jim.

13 August 2007, Monday
Today is the 1st day of Hungry Ghost Festival and the carpark was packed with cars!!! Cars honk here honk there...

Anyone guess the reason??? It is because of Getai! Oh my, lunar seven mth had always been quiet and people were quite cold towards Getai these few years but it is like the "in" thing this year. Perhaps it is due to the movie ongoing, "881", a local movie that illustrates the feeling of the director of the movie towards Getai and the losing significance of Getai in the eyes of the youngsters nowadays.

As i said, there are a few more celebrations in the 1st week of sch.

9 August 2007, Thursday
It's National Day!!! and it's Norasilah's Sister, Norazlina's Engagement!!!
Dear Dear and I went for the celebration at Bedok Reservoir.

While waiting for the Bride to arrive... I was requested by Silah's relative to sing a Chinese song "xiao1 sa3 zhou3 yi4 hui2" with her. It was my 1st time singing Karaoke at a void-deck... so paiseh. It was nice catching up with Silah as it had been more than a year since i last met her...
Here's Norazlina, she looked so pretty in the gown :)

A little bit of cultural exchange info for you guys:

1) If u see a teapot on the table at a Muslim Wedding, pls do not drink from it. Coz... you are not suppose to, it's for them to wash their hands!!! Haha...

2) Wedding Favours: Eggs represents fertility (quite similar to chinese too i think)

3) At the engagement, the groom is not suppose to be there! Interesting leh...


12 August 2007, Sunday

Dear Dear accompanied me there :)

1st week of school begins... and there are so many celebrations going on!

8 August 2007, Wednesday
Today is Lei's Bday. We met up at Hard Rock Cafe for dinner.
Me, Kev, Lora, Geline, Julia, Huixian Ziwei, Yong Hao, Edmund and Lei & Alex Chu were at the celebration.
Hui Yee came only after we sang Lei a bday song.
Lei had to stand on the chair like every other person who celebrates his/ her bday at Hard Rock Cafe.
Every 15min-30min, we hear bday songs, I wonder how many are real though. keke...

Very co-incidentally, the mudpie which Kev & I ordered came together with the Ice-cream cake we bought for Lei, everyone tot that the mudpie was a complimentary dessert from Hard Rock Cafe and everyone was happily eating our mudpie. Wahaha!!! It was perfectly ok lah, Kev & I could not finish that on our own anyway. It was just hilarious ("p)

After the dinner, we were discussing whether to go for TMS Alumni thingy next sat or not, I was glad to hear that many of them are interested coz i was thinking to ask them about it b4 i went there.
