had lunch at s11 before heading to town.[surprisingly the Auntie Diao3 never diao3 me when i decline her of ordering a drink~]looks like the spell didn't work.[perhaps i do not have much happy memories?]went to town [with zy and les] again with the primary mindset of just walking aimlessly to let the time passby.[actually was intending to buy slippers cause some unscrupulous person stole it]we walked around PS and CP then meet low,lim and john at He.[oh-no!]
unknowingly,we all followed low and lim to buy their DnD stuffs.[apparently they did not buy anything yet]travelled to Ta. and Wis.[still pacing around GTT and TM]finally lim bought everything at GTT.[low 还在守株待兔.]went to eat the 'starhub' 海南鸡饭.[to think that john suggested to go CA~taking 24 is a real 挑战]
got to eat the othe side dishes:油条沙律 and 水饺汤.very nice.[but was utterly disappointed with the quantity though]headed to the 豆奶 shop as usual.but went home after that.[luckily went home early and escaped from the rain unscathed...lol]
tired of going out 了.maybe will invite friends to my house for some board games?anyway,not much time left for fun.[just for the sake of the two years sentence]
cya
The market-rushing and nap
woke up in the earliest of times since the end of A's.[it's 7am!]meeting low,lim and john in the early morning to buy stuffs for the bbq.[pity yx and les never got to join in the 'fun']saw lim wearing jeans.it's abit frivolous but who whould wear jeans to a wet market?anyway,we're getting some stingrays and prawns in the wet market at AMK.the place was very crowded with people and the passage way was so narrow that it's one-way.
took a bus to TP to buy other stuffs at the supermarket.found the chilli sauce for the stingrays.we also found the boneless-skinless breast chicken meat.[consumer's discretion advised:it's quite terrible to eat it over and over again]also bought sotong balls and other miscellaneous items.[one of the workers there seems unwilling to help in directing us]it's was like hide and seek for us to find the chopsticks.[can't blame us either cause the bbq stuffs are located at various places]then,we headed to cheryl's house to place all the frozen food items into her overly-bloated twin fridges.[luckily there was sufficient space for us to put all that we've bought]can't stay in cheryl's house to marinate the food.[cause she has to go to CA]
finally we could get our breakfast at the so called best selling prata.[yea rite]was about 12pm before we headed back to home for a short slack.
The fun begins
went back to cheryl's house at 6pm.[that was the third trip back to her house.even the security remembered us.]the problem was cheryl was not back yet!trouble spills.went to and fro umpteen times to her house.[forgetting this and that]started to marinate the still-frozen food.[cheryl was not back to defrost them]john came with the satays.[cheryl's not back yet]hk and quek are preparing for the pit.[cheryl's not back yet]after the fire has started then she's back.[low's not here yet..lol]
people start flowing in.[didn't think that ms chiew would come,and didn't think that she would drive there]stingray was nice.[all thanks to me,low and les]the satay was nice too.[thank john for buying it at the last minute.the sausages and the chicken meat was alright.[but still have to thank quek for the QC...lol]busy booking the stingray.lol.
close to the end of the bbq then we remembered that the sotong balls was nowhere to be found.cheryl went back to get it in the fridge.[it's was so hard that people starts to throw at one another]imaging swimming with a sotong ball in the pool.lol.zc was the last to arrive.
thought that we could have the usual round of pool-loading.but the management of the condo. was er...peculiar.must cease any pool activities by 10pm.[only i went into the pool and for about a few seconds]war is near.people throw pool water at one another.[ice came in as an advanced weapon]must rush near marcus and ms chiew to gain immunity.lol.[retreat hs always been the best policy]
after all activities had been ceased,we quickly get changed to board the last bus.[hk,zy and les took ms chiew's car to home]
The series of unfortunate events
once again,back to town for the who-knows-how-many times.wanted to catch a movie at cine but was left with harry potter and cold showers.[CS:R21 French]went back to PS to try our luck.[stop by cheers]PS was closed.[it's sunday and no movies??]walked to SSC for a game of pool.it was closed as well.[well,have to blame our luck]went back to PS and stone at Macs.
after 'serious' consideration,we walked to esplanade.stopped at makansutra for some card games.that was until 5 30 when all lights went out.walked to city hall to take the first train at 6 05.[saw a couple of ludicrous daredevils playing slide on the escalators of city hall station]bet they had a bad childhood.anyway,board the train to AMK for breakfast at S11.
after breakfast,low suggested to go home.[just when he saw his bus coming!!PS us again]
cya
Expecto Patronum!we're protected from the wrath of Orchard.went to lim's house for a day of board games.played risk,monopoly and cluedo.however, i played cluedo only.cause have to watch Harry Potter:the Prisoner of Azkaban.[dominated in the cluedo game...sorry zc and yx~]low must be the most relaxed one.[slept whole afternoon...lol~]
watched a scheming movie after the game.[shall not disclose what's the movie title]there are a total of 5 consecutive schemes in the movie.[really shows the epitome of scheming people]
went to the newly renovated S11 at AMK.too many stalls to choose from.[too many options may not be a good thing too]coincidentally,met XH there also.[eating with her family]me,zc,lim,low and john all ate the metal wok thingy.[plus 2 plates of fried dumplings and 1 plate of fried chicken][fried chicken demanded by lim...lol...jkjk]after dinner discussion was about the bbq on this coming sunday.discussion was quite conclusive.hopefully it'll turn out well.
hates people who belch toxic gases after inhaling their smokes into your faces.Period.[those walking toward my direction]
tomorrow will be a free day for me to slack at home.shall continue watching Kang Xi Lai Le-Kang Yong Dang Jia
cya
was at bedok to eat kway chup as XH's mother invited us for a treat.nice kway chup!~[all thanks to XH and family for the treat!]
princess screens no movies that appeal to all of us,so we went arcade instead after lunch.some played time crisis 2,some played daytona.[sad to come in 4th position...last position to be specific] after that was a whole group of us playing photohunt.[computer played cheat...the countdown rate was too fast for us to react!]so,we missed the Hi-score by a merely afew ten thousand points.
after the disapointment we got from princess,we board a bus to TM to search for movies. managed to catch Prime.was a love movie with a touch of humour in it.[also added with subtle explicits]
walked the trail along the train tracks of tampines.seems like an endless journey from the start.[really can't see the end of the trail]went to eat tze char at somewhere near ZC's house.[wasn't that fantastic isn't it?]
journey to home was quite long.but then still able to reach home before 10 pm.looking forward to the board game session at lim's house tomorrow!~
cya
finally got the time to change my blogskin.but then still looks quite noob.hopefully can master how to change the fonts and colours of the wordings.
went back to NY to get back my YQ.finding buyers.anyone?selling at initial rate of $800.price negotiable~.it's 402 model though.[still as good as new albeit it has been used for about 2 years le]
played need for speed:underground and suikoden IV.just started playing so nothing much to comment yet.[but then S. IV graphics abit kiddy though.lol.~][thanks fi5h for the games!~]
there'll be a lunch treat[kway zup] tomorrow by XH at Bedok.[thanks XH and relatives of hers in advance!~]
back to gaming.
cya
for the 2nd time,b-ball session was flopped not because of the alleged claim of insufficient members but it was that weather which gave me an impression that it's the qing1 ming2 season.[drizzling non-stop]but some of us[me,yx,lim and john] still stop by zy's house to play monopoly.[but also including PS2 and bridge]that was until 2pm when lim STRONGLY suggested that we have our lunch 1st.[no qualms about that though..lol]went to meet Ronald again for lunch.[excluding me...want to save $$ for the dinner~]
reached home by around 4pm and had to walk back that long journey to Mordor[Mordor referring to NEL...always result in sweating profusely]in 30 minutes time!cause yx,john and I are meeting up to buy a cake for PW and low at somerset at 5 30pm.we walked from cine to paragon den to taka.[saw shen qing san and li zhi qing at taka~]after a quick discussion,[we are a group of 3 decisive people..lol]we decided on the cake from BS.[chocolate gateau or something]
wanted to place the cake at Galilee then on the way saw pw and sf!!~but we managed to bluff our way through them.[or isn't?]the G&F service quite zai.[at least much more better than the service we got in X-S]and as usual,it has become our[some of us] intrinsic value to be late.but still predicted the starting time to be 30 minutes after the professed meeting time.[which was 6 30]the menu was very ling4 lei4.the comments given on the menu was quite a fresh idea.more freedom to choose the food in your main dish.[ate finding nemo!~]and still got free flow of soup.[though we only get to drink once]after the grand appearance of the CG cake,PW and low both cut the cake.[but not after blowing off the candles... ... ...]you can guess what was happenning after cake-serving... ...[let your minds go wild~]
after getting shirts dirty and faces oily with cream and chocolate,we took a bus to esplanade to talk cock.we all sat beside our 'beloved' merlion[lol...]and started talking about our inner secrets in the abyss of our hearts.[one after another!can ask me for the partial recording of their partially zhen1 xin1 hua4]time flew by very fast.it was about 11 15 before we left the merlion who had stopped its vomitting.we still walk in a calm pace back to city hall interchange.[to think that i'm walking it for the 2nd time after yesterday]reaching DG interchange was alright but to see "Punggol 3 mins" is not a good sign.[especially when the time is close to the last train]someone[don't know who]started to run and everyone just ran along.[including other strangers]
[before that someone still ask me where to go to take a taxi!!!]at the starting line of the escalator,we already saw the sliding door opened.[and it might had been opened for quite some time already]we quickly rushed toward the door before it closes on us.luckily we are trained[most of us though..lol] during afternoon PE.if not we won't be able to make it for the last train.
it has been a wonderful dinner and bonding after A's.really enjoyed ourselves.[now who objects?....jkjk]G&F is nice.~[good food,good service,cheap price [ relatively] and a just-like-home atmosphere]
cya
P.S.:All activities stated above were accomplished on 22/11/05.
the most tired day after A's.been out since 12 and walked the whole[nearly whole] orchard like never before.the 1st half of our escapade was walking from shops to shops[e.g. topman, guess, G2000, esprit, timberland etc...] but no items bare to leave the shops.
we took a break[just to continue walking] at the food court of marina square.the food was quite nice.the sambal chilli was nice too.[note:the sambal chilli is hidden by the shop owner.will be given if requested.]discussions were about the b-ball session tomorrow morning and the class BBQ at cheryl's house.[cross-fire starts!~]
as for the 2nd half of our escapade in orchard,we walked around marina square.fortunately,we stopped at X-square to search for our stuffs.hk,jj and me managed to buy some things from there.[got a VIP discount card (with hk) when you purchase $200 or above of their items]however,unfortunately,zy never see anything that appealed to him.so we walked to sun-tec and stopped at topman.unfortunately,les didn't get a chance to see that reindeer again.[a series of unfortunate events..lol]but zy managed to buy a blue-dominated shirt with streaks of white.[i bought a green-dominated strips shirt]in the end,yx is still pending whether to buy that coat he like.
took a breather at Macs.[one of the lucrative businesses globally because everything is so EX!~]ordered a free cup of ice water.[it was les who helped in the ordering though]talk cock abit here and there.discussed about the b-ball session[again], the dinner that we're having tomorrow and also about how children can have full access to books with explicit wordings.lol.
finally,heading home.[with an ache-ing head]i was just in time to convince people to change the dinning place to Galilee and friends than sizzler.[cause alot of people (including me) find it EX] nice ambience too.and the most nerve-calming thing was that i've convinced pw to go for the dinner.[convincing power up to level 2~]
anyway,here's a happy birthday to low.
really tired now.after 4 days out in town walking for about 12 hours each day.and the horror of horrors is that we will be having b-ball tomorrow morning!hopefully someone will wake me up...permenantly.
cya
woo...just registered as a relief teacher.don't know if i can take up this job before i get into NS.
anyway,went to see my cousin's 1st born baby boy.so cute.everything seems so small.and the hair is as soft as zephyr in the sky at night.but he's sound asleep.shh....
finally the tagboard is up.[after almost 12 hrs of floundering with html scripts]tag more people!my next task is to change the blogskin/link with other blogs?....lol..hopefully it won't take that much of my time to figure the whole thing out.
cya
1st day after A's[that is 19/11/05] and things seems right.the prelude of all things to happen[or was it the day before?]was quite a good start.
anyway,had a enjoyable day yesterday[19/11/05 that is].満足 満足 満足! woke up quite late[around 12+ pm] and found myself having a msg that says:"meet at orchard for an outing at 1pm"[though not the exact phrasing...but点在]. so had to rush for lunch and head toward orchard by 2 plus.[shall give my 2nd lunch anecdote a miss...lol].it's a long story 'bout thirst-quenching.
going town for a consecutive day can be tiring.[and i mean T-I-R-I-N-G]walk from shops to shops searching for something just as nice as an elvish coat.but then nothing seems to be appealing to me.[appealing means cheap and good]same goes to the people who are in the same boat as me.[all because of the all-so-grand-DnD]
later found ourselves watching WCG. CAN vs AUS competing in CS.must really applaude for the commentators.can crap[okay...talk sensibly] and in a fast rate.[can be just as fast as.....let's call him Mr. M]can't really catch what they are talking about.moreover,the increase in intensity of their voices really gives me the feeling of an adrenelin rush.after 'patrolling' around the place we went for the x-box hour.[syn. happy hour]but we weren't happy afterall when we were served by someone with a caption on the face:i have a bad attitude and stop bothering me.moreover,the gaming ended quite soon.didn't get the chance to play more exciting games.
dinner after gaming can be the best combo ever.and i'm talking about the hidden hainanese chicken rice near dhoby ghaut.[guess it's another industry of starhub?..lol]good service[totally differnent from that indifferent gameshop counter personel] plus good food = good dinner.and a soy bean drink comes along before we[okay..it's me only or isn't...lol] have gotten over with the sumptious dinner.[thanks to hk for the treats]
after lots of adrenelin rushes[almost none left],we made ourselves drain off the last bit of adrenelin by arcad-ing.think should be my 1st time to play time-crisis?...lol..it's not benign to us[at least for me] cause i had a blister for that and it's makes me feel like i'm in the middle of a marathon.[or akin to the end of a marathon]quitted the game[okay, i've lost. hk oso lost.lol.] and watched les and low play x-men vs st. fighter?den that scheming low played virtual tennis and he's lifting up to his name.but all his schemes are seen by the computer player 3.[was it norman?]
home is the place when all excitement doesn't excites us anymore.it's an enjoyable day albeit tiring.resting for tomorrow and waiting with anticipation[just a little...cause was bushed after 2 consecutive days out in town] to go to town again on monday afternoon.hope we'll not go back empty-handed again.must buy something,anything,by hook or by crook.[getting DnD stuffs and -------- for -------- people]
gtg regain some energy for tomorrow's activities.[or is there any?]
