HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! :)
I am sorry for the belated wishes, Singapore. I am too tired from all the busy schedule. LOL!
x__[[Friday, August 08, 2008.
Continuing from where I stop on Friday, sorry that I am too tired to continue blogging on Friday so I had a 'very fast' blogging and then went to sleep.
There is no work today! Yesterday is my LAST day of work. OMG! I am lucky. My friends are all working for their attachment today while I stay at home early morning, wake up late, no need to rush and take bus with the students. Life is good in DSO!
Early morning at 6 plus, I received a sms and then fall back to sleep. zZzZzZz. Then at 8 plus, I went to bathe and left house at nearly 10am to go down to Holland Village to meet up with Jolene. I have to change my tickets with her. So I travel from Toa Payoh down to Holland Village.
We are supposed to meet at 11am, in the end I reach her place at nearly 10.30am. How early of me. Oh yes, I changed my phone back to my previous one, the Nokia 6131. OMG! 6 months for not using Nokia and I find it SOOOO hard to text messages. I kept pressing wrongly. Then I found photos taken 6 MONTHS ago!
Oh my gosh, my phone is so outdated! So in the end, I was updating my phone, trying out and pressing here and there in the morning. I want to change phone! I want to change to Samsung Soul. However, no $$ and mummy/daddy do not want to sponsor! Argh! Never mind, hunt for other phone.
Back to meeting Jolene. After meeting Jolene, I am supposed to meet up with Jeremy at CCK. However, something urgent crop up and he is unable to meet me. So I met up with npy at Clementi at supposedly 11.30am. LOL! In the end we met up at 11am. My timing seems 30 minutes earlier. LOL!
Then we took bus down to Suntec City (again) for lunch. We had fried prawn mee at Food Republic. After eating, we walked around Suntec for awhile and then went to take bus down to Changi Airport. We are not sending anyone or waiting for the arrival of anyone. We are going for fun!
We took bus 36 from Suntec and slowly travel down to Changi Airport. While on the bus, I kept playing with his watch. In the end, I ended up wearing his watch. Ok, his watch is heavy! OMG!
We went to Terminal 3 to walk around. It is my FIRST time coming to Changi via bus and it is the FIRST time I am coming to Terminal 3. It is big and nice. Ok, Changi Airport is nice (by default).
We walk to the gallery and then stood there for quite some time. After which, we took the skytrain and travel down to Terminal 2. At Terminal 2, we 'here walk walk, there walk walk' and then we saw this table with lots of paper.
There are pictures carved on small blocks and there are papers and crayon for us to use to 'trace' the picture out. Just put the papers on the blocks and then use the crayons to colour and poof, beautiful picture!
Npy drew some for me. LOL! Mine is like rubbish! LOL! After which, I randomly asked to go and have ice cream together. So we decided to head down to Mac but in the end, I said to go Swenson (randomly). We had chocolate fondue. Yummy!
After fondue, we took bus down to Bugis, I wanted to meet Jeremy so we headed down to Bugis. When we reach Bugis, Jeremy said that he is at Bugis Street doing something so npy and I went to shop first while waiting for him to come.
We went into BHG and then went to the toys department. OMG! The toys are cute! And of course, I saw LUMPY! OMG! Lumpy is so so so extremely cute. Haha! Just when we wanted to leave the toys department, Jeremy called and then he is heading over to meet us.
I was telling npy about the kids largest size clothes which I can fit in! OMG! Besides the fact that it is SHORT, the rest is ok! LOL! Then Jeremy came, with a girl, and then I went to 'do some secret transaction' with him. We started talking and chatting.
Npy and Jeremy then said about all the army ranks thing and I have totally NO idea what they are talking so I just stood there and listen. I kept joking that Jeremy have no chance for the pilots are all attached and all. I think I drifted too much that after parting with Jeremy, npy actually asked me if Jeremy is gay! OMG!
What a laugh. Sorry Jeremy, tarnished your reputation already! OMG! Haha!!
After parting, we went to walk around BHG, looking for something. In the end, we found nothing! We walked around Bugis looking for something but seriously, I cannot find. Then we went to get takopachi and decided to look for some place to eat. So we walked from Bugis Junction down to the National Library somewhere to eat.
After eating, drag drag and then went home. When I reach home, as usual, come online, talk on phone, bathe and rot. I tried to blog but subsequently, I got quite tired so I did not blog. Haha!
At 12mn, I did something super stupid! I went to spam 68 people on my MSN list. I sent all of them a simple message, "Happy National Day". How random. I even spammed those who I seldom or practically DID not talk to already. In return 1/3 of them asked me about Beijing Olympics.
For the start, I would tell them how busy I am with sending my most deepest, warmest national day wishes. Gradually, I am too lazy to reply with the same answer so yes, bypass~ LOL! Then I went offline after sending my ultomost wishes to everyone. I think this is the first time I actually went around to wish people "Happy National Day". How stupid!
I am super pro, tomorrow going to spend a LONG day for NDP and I am still online busy wishing people. Haha! In the end, I slept at nearly 2am. OMG!
x__[[Saturday, August 09, 2008.
Today is our once a year Singapore birthday! And Anne is super duper busy today! She has a task in hand. LOL!
Early morning, I woke up at 7am, went to bathe and then rot. While waiting for hair to dry, I went to rot and watch television. I was watching Olympics opening. At nearly 8.15am, npy called me and tell me that he is still at home. So I decided to slowly take my time to travel down to Toa Payoh Interchange.
I reach the interchange at 9am and then, not long after, npy came. We stood there and wait for npy's friend to come. We are passing him the tickets.
I wanted to pass the tickets to Joseph but sadly, he have no one to accompany him down to watch. And then I wanted to give Zhi Yuan but he says that he have to study DTLE and Stella might not be free. Besides, if he wants the ticket, he need to come down to Toa Payoh by 9am to get from me. Well, Zhi Yuan says "no point sacrificing sleep for love". LOL!
After npy's friend came, npy and I went to take bus down to Bugis (again). We are meeting na and Zoe at 10.30am at Marina Square for breakfast.
Ambassadors are to meet at 11.45am while leaders are supposed to meet at 11am. So for the sake of my dear leader, Sheena~, we are meeting at 10.30am. We wanted to have dou hua together. However, due to 11am meeting for na, we decided to get dou hua and bring over for them (see, how nice).
Npy and I took bus down to Bugis and walked down to Selegie to get dou hua. As it is still early, we decided to get a bowl of dou hua and share. Then npy got a cup of dou hua water. We shared. After eating, we made our way down to Marina Square.
We walked past Mac and we saw the people in ORANGE (the exco members). So we decided to 'act' ignorant and find a place to rot while waiting for the two girls. As I am getting bored, I started taking photos while npy plays with my phone.
Then Zoe says that she is on her way via Citylink so after some time, npy and I decided to walk down and wait for Zoe. Just when we get down the escalator, we saw Zoe coming. She was saying that she just messaged me asking me where I am. LOL!
We continue waiting for na~ Well, we are meeting so early because of her and she is the lastest to come. So funny! LOL! So we waited and finally at nearly 10.45am, she came! Haha! We took escalator down and skipped the Mac area.
We went to Qiji for breakfast. It is my FIRST time going there and at first thought, I thought Qiji was miracle. OMG! Zoe and npy were firstly talking about what cafeteria are there and I heard "downstairs got qiji." I thought downstairs got miracle! OMG! I sound so noob!
After eating, we went to have our dou hua eaten! We sat by some places and happily indulge in our dou hua. Then there is this ambassador who came up the escalator. He saw us and kept chuckling. Ok, I thought he knows either of us so I just kept quiet. Then just when his back are facing us, na shouted "hello!".
Super random. We asked if na knows him and she said no. Ok, we must be friendly~ Yes! So after eating, npy left and rush off for her meeting. By then, it was already 11.15am. Haha! Zoe, npy and I continue eating our dou hua and after we finish eating, we headed down to the floating platform.
While on our way, I started zhi high-ing. We heard the song "My Heart Will Go On" at the security check in. Then I started my "Jack, I'm flying" thing. LOL! There is no security check today at the security point. So yes, bypass~ Then we made our way down to the floating platform. While on our way there, I kept saying I am a secret agent carrying bomb and all. OMG!
We made our way to the floating platform area and we had security check there. After security check, we went to the SW and while on our way, we helped carry water from one place to another.
As usual, scan in, sign in and wait to be roasted. Ok, I am SERIOUS about waiting to be roasted! We are going to stand under the sun from nearly 2.30pm all the way to about 5.30pm. The sun is SHINNING so bright and we are roasting. LOL! So isn't waiting to be roasted?
After settling down, we had lunch. Today's lunch is like pathetic and can vomit. For preview, we had nugget, chicken, chocolate muffin, potato. It is so WESTERN STYLE! As for today, we had bao, sesame seed ball, glutinous rice, wu xiang and yam cake. It is sooooo CHINESE DIM SAM STYLE!
In the end, I only ate the chicken on the glutinous rice, the wu xiang and the yam cake. The bao and sesame seed ball are TOOOO hard to even be poked by the fork. So forget it! Yes yes~
After meal, we took tons of photos here and there and then poof! We headed to the blue sector and waited for instructions. That is when we started taking photos again! OMG! I kept taking photos~
Then we sat there and did nothing until Mr. Raymond come and start his LONG WINDED nagging again. He is super naggy, seriously! After which, we proceed to our respective sectors.
While on our way there, I was telling npy how my hair is being crispy. Then he said that I can go home and steam it. I was telling him now treatment is done at hair salon. LOL!
After which, Zoe and I started talking about moisturiser and applying moisturisers on face and hair. Blah blah. Women stuffs! When we reach the green sector SW, we were split. After spliting, G1 has only 4 people (not including leaders) left! OMG! Most of our people are all 'thrown' to other places! Unfair~
We had our own fun and I was telling Zoe and npy how normal I am among the 4 of us. LOL! Then we were waiting to be sent up to the gallery. Waiting, waiting~
Finally, we went up to the gallery and went to our respective position. Zoe, xt, ys and I were over there talking and crapping. Zoe and I laugh so much that my cheeks are tired while Zoe's tummy is aching! OMG! Super funny! LOL!
Npy and na were twosome there. Jerath and Christina walked past. Jerath said "wa, scandal." then Christina was totally blur. When she turn over, suddenly her reaction is like BIG and her eyes sparkle like diamond! She look as if she saw 8917398174kg goldbar on the floor. LOL!
The gates open and we started ushering people in. It is my first time being a mobile usher! OMG! Then I kept saying "welcome to NDP". LOL! This is my first time being mobile usher and seriously, I find that I am lucky. It is my first time being mobile usher and not a single person scold or complain about me. OMG de happy!
I feel so like in the hospital. "Family of 2", "Group of 4", "Family of 5", "Pairs?". We kept asking and asking like in the hospital calling for numbers. LOL! I cannot believe that we are doing all these.
Having to keep helping ushering and ushering, I moved from the bottom right hand corner of the green sector to the top left hand corner of the green sector. LOL! Wow! I did quite a lot of ushering. Hehe!
After everything, we went for dinner at the rising platform located at the blue sector downstairs. We had KFC for dinner again! I always do not like KFC for dinner. Imagine out of SO many dinner, KFC made up practically half of it. How sick!
Then the orange shirt guy kept chasing us away from the floating platform ground. That is when we started crapping about all the "we are floating" thingy. Crapping anyways~ Not long after, it is time for the black knights! Well, that is everyone's favourite together with the fireworks. Ok, we are all only interested to see those 2 shows.
This is the second time I am seeing the heart display. The first time was NE Show 2 and this is the second time. For NE Show 1, I did not get to watch because I went for dinner. As for NE Show 3, it is raining so there is no heart display. And for preview, I am busy talking to Joseph. LOL!
Once again, my 'heart' got blocked! For NE Show 2, the heart was blocked by the light tower. And as for actual, the damn tree block half of the heart! OMG de suay~ LOL! So poor thing of me~ Ahh!
After taking pictures pictures and more pictures, we stood there and rot (again). Seriously, we are rotting for most of the time. Haha! We then headed off to the green sector SW to wait for dismissal plan.
We were paired up in twos and then poof! Off for dismissal~ For preview, I did not do dismissal at the gallery so I have totally no idea what to do. Ok, I followed npy all the way and just do nothing. Then we waited for the theme song to be sang and then watch the fireworks.
While watching, J messaged me saying that he saw me! Ok, I did not see him at all. So forget it. Then he called me and said that he is waving and seriously, there are SO many people there, I can't help but failing to find him. LOL!
Ok, so npy and I stood there and did nothing. We are supposed to usher people such that they do not exit by the upper route. However, for some I-don't-know reason, people are leaving via the lower route. So npy and I are seriously doing nothing.
I kept saying "bye-bye", "thanks for coming", "hope you enjoy the show", "mind your steps". Having the DJ playing the songs so loudly for the post parade party, I have to raise my voice in order others can hear me.
Npy and I were seriously standing there to rot. We had nothing to do at all. When there are lesser people leaving via the lower route, they allow people exiting from the upper route to exit via the lower route.
And guess what, not long after, I saw J's father and mother. Then I saw J's brother and girlfriend behind them. Lastly, I saw A&J and Kaitlyn. So coincidence! I carried Kaitlyn and she look super lost! LOL!
Soon, people are more or less gone, I started to feel bored! Seriously bored! Npy is busy talking to a particular army guy, leaving me alone to rot! Then na came to 'save' me from my boredness. We starting getting high and blah blah blah! Seriously bored. Simple~
After playing and getting high, green sector have their usual debrief. And as usual, it is the LAST time we are meeting and debriefing as a whole, ORANGE people would start their say-will-cry messages. Ok, Eugenie did not cry. LOL! I almost cried having to listen with the emotional Chinese version of "Shine for Singapore" playing at the background.
Then we started to rot rot rot! After some time, when more people leave the floating platform, we went down to take photos! Imagine all 400 of us squeeze into a small picture! And the worst thing is we are the first sector to reach the floating platform. So imagine having to snatch oxygen there.
After gathering and after standing there and snatch for nearly 20 minutes of oxygen and not being able to move, we have to wait for the damn Mr. Raymond to finish his speech and the nice nice Brigadier-General incharge of us. He is a nice nice guy. Ok, for at least, he is not as naggy as Mr. Raymond, not as 'arrogant' as other lower rank than his people. Ok, he is a nice nice guy! LOL!
Ok, then wait for the BG to come down and join us in photo taking. After photo taking, a group of us wanted to go and take photo with the BG but then the other ambassadors are 'ta lor-ing'. We wanted to take picture with him but the others ambassador don't know why so enthu, come and chap into the picture.
After taking pictures, we are supposed to go up to the gallery again for group debrief. In the end, when we are sitting there, we are NOT debrief-ed. We are actually spending time there doing NOTHING! Seriously, they are wasting my time! OMG!
Then we start listening to the say-will-cry speeches again by the respective ORANGE people. Ta was giving her say-will-cry speech to her own group (concourse) and seriously, she really cried. See, I told you say-will-cry speech. Usually these speeches, it will make those who are SAYING to cry instead of those who are LISTENING. I do not know why either. Maybe it is because it takes lots of memories to say-will-cry speeches.
After that, we went to scan out, sign out and did some feedback form. The feedback form questions are stupid and long winded. Some of their options are not practical. Time to update their feedback form. And the worst thing is that we are made to put our name, NRIC and other particulars. Seriously, who will give genuine feedback if that is the case? Idiotic~
Then npy and I left and we headed to the blue sector area for our goodie bag. Then we walked to the bus stop near Singapore Flyer to take bus. The stupid 56 is like aircon-less. The aircon is spoilt and we had to tahan the stupid bus. No choice, it is already 11 odd pm.
So we got up and slowly travel down to Toa Payoh. Npy sent me home. And then he left for home. By the time I reaches home, it is already 12 odd am. How EARLY that is. Npy and I started chatting and stupidly, I blew up for no reason again! OMG! I do not know what is wrong with me. After bathing, I got HUNGRY so I cook a pack of noodle for supper. Then I do not know why I called npy and apologise for blowing up. Ok, it is my first time! I mean first time calling back to apologise for no reason.
Then I went to sleep. I did not accompany npy via phone. I am such a bad person. I was too tired that I went to sleep, leaving npy alone on the bus rotting. Guilty!

I woke up early again today! I mean it is the auto alarm thing. I spent the WHOLE morning blogging and then, something happened and ha! Everything is gone. I wanted to curse and swear so much but in the end, I did not! I mean, not their fault too but still, I hate it so much!
I blog from morning 9am to afternoon 2pm and then I realise that my LONG typed post were gone. I was too tired so I decided to just go to bed and sleep! So I slept from 2 plus pm to 4 plus pm. I am too tired. When I woke up, I start to do my blogging again. This time I remember to keep doing necessary saving of the text.
J was saying that it is the FIRST time he feel that Singaporeans are friendly and courteous. He said that first time he kept hearing people say "bye-bye", "mind your steps" blah blah blah. Then I asked him about the "welcome to NDP" sentences he said and he say that all the way, he kept hearing "welcome to NDP". LOL!
He even said that his mother is so free to even entertain us. LOL! Seriously, J should be more friendly to say 'bye' to us too. LOL!
Played with Kaitlyn and Kaiden for the whole day and of course, blogging! OMG!
x__[[Monday, August 11, 2008.
Today is my FIRST Monday without work! In the morning, I woke up and bathe and started to type a little of my blog again. Then at about 11am, Drew Drew and I went down to A&J's place. We are going out today! We are supposed to go picnic but in the end, many change of plans.
In the afternoon, we went to East Coast Park Mac for lunch. Kaitlyn randomly said that she wanted to eat Mac instead of BBQ. So yes, change of plan. We headed down there and have our lunch.
Then we stroll until we reaches a spot for us to 'camp'. We then went to play with the sand and water. After which, we went back and clean ourselves. J then went to get water. When he comes back, he got a TABLE CLOTH! Ok, we came ECP without extra clothes, without groundsheet, without towel. Yes, so it is all last minute bought.
After J accompany Kaitlyn plays with the sand and water, A and Kaiden goes strolling, Drew Drew and I rotting, we went back and J drove us down to Playground @ Big Splash. We went to Old Town White Coffee to drink coffee. I had blackcurrent smoothie and peanut butter toast. Not bad for my order of food. They tried the blackcurrent and all says that it taste like yakult. Haha!
After OTWC, we went to Toa Payoh NTUC to get food for dinner. Drew Drew, Kaitlyn and I were left in the car. Kaitlyn was sleeping and when she woke up, she kept crying. OMG! She cried non-stop that I am so scared that people thinks I kidnap kids. LOL! So I brought her to look at toys.
Then they came back and we headed down to A&J's place. We watch TV programme there and rotted and rotted. Then we had dinner and after rotting some more, Drew Drew and I headed home.
Then I started blogging and blogging! Finally it is DONE! OMG! After so long, it is finally DONE!
This is my only free week and then, Monday is gone, Tuesday is reaching soon, Wednesday nigth got ice cream treat with aunts, Thursday is occupied with presentation and Friday might be going out.
