allo.. its update time again!! woohoo! haz..

today went to school for the stupid entrepunership talk.. so boring.. dun understand the talk a single bit.. and the person who gave the talk was like LT 8 and i was like in LT5... occasionally a few lecturers came in the LT n see see look look.. but of course, without lecturer, in my LT, its like market loh.. everyone talking.. haiz.. until a lecturer came in and start scolding ppl.. then the whole place became quiet.. when the lecturer left the LT, ppl will start talking again..

well.. as for me, i obviously was not listening.. in fact, i was half-asleep.. serious!! anyway, until like during the Q&A segment, ppl in LT8 (where the speaker for the talk was there) start asking qn.. slowly ppl in my LT, ie LT 5, began to start going off.. and soon.. my friends/clique decide to go to lohz.. and guess wat! i followed!! =).. well.. dun think there is anything wrong!! =)

then today was junting 20th birthday... so it was like 10.30am when we left the LT lohz... yanyan happen to have digital camera.. so we took photo lohz.. i ask yanyan to send the photos to my email.. so yupz.. she has sent.. so yupz.. but juz can't seem to edit the photo in such a way tat it fits my blog.. think the resolution too big or sumthing.. will try another time.. so wait for it yaz.. =)

then after tat, junting, zhengqiu, shanshan, yanyan, limei and myself went to Genki Sushi at Tampines Mall to celebrate junting's birthday lohz.. we reach there like 11am.. however, it only opens at 11.30am.. so we went round the Tampines Mall and walk walk lohz..

during this jalan jalan journey, i bought a NEW jazz cd.. its more of a piano jazz.. the title is "nice & slow" by brian culbertson.well.. will soon let u hear the cd.. but probably only a track.. will change the current music on my blog soon.. i think u all get sick of it already right?? anyway, wait for it yaz.. =)

well.. i so far listen to the cd i bought today (the piano jazz cd) like 2 times liaoz lohz.. so nice.. i can listen to it like over and over again and NOT get sick of it.. well.. wat to do?? jazz fan here.. =)

anyway, after my buying of cd, we all went down to check out whether Genki Sushi is open already.. at last!! it was open!

so once we go in, shanshan was saying abt she like to eat the steamed green peas.. and we just eat and eat and guess wat! we ate 2 plates manz.. =)

anyway, i ate the following sushis (which i paid for myself):

* Jellyfish sushi
* California Temaki Handroll
* Cuttlefish sushi

junting ordered Party Set B and she gave us a treat for tat party set b lohz.. becos' she 21 yrs old liaoz (according to the chinese birthday).. so yupz.. ate the different kinds of sushi lohz..

we eat like until so full, with me being the record ate 3 tiny-fish-roes sushi lohz.. my gosh!! my cholesterol muz have shot up a lot manz..

anyway, it all left 3 miserable pieces of sushi, and becos' the company tat i was with eating, was all gals.. so they force me to finish up the sushi.. haiz.. i so full already but they still force me to eat.. how could they??

anyway, that's not the end of the story.. so anyway, junting's birthday is today.. so therefore, besides being entitled a 10% discount today, she is also entitled a FREE green tea ice-cream.. so at the end, the ice-cream came.. and we all eat lohz.. however, i can't take it.. its too SWEET.. my gosh.. they call me to finish but i refused.. u koe how much calories is that ice-cream??

anyway, after the lunch, went to NTUC at Tampines Mall to help my mother buy sumthing.. then at the same time, do some research in the supermarket for my PDM project... i just want to find out how much vitamin c is needed to be in the product so tat it can be called as high in vitamin c.. so tat's y.. anyway, besides doing this blog of mine, i also at the same time finding the regulations of the vitaminc added in the product.. haiz.. can't even enjoy in peace =(

k.. then came home.. do my homework.. and prepare a ice-breaking game which i must conduct during cell group.. haiz.. so me keep thinking and thinking wat to do lohz.. then suddenly, 3 ideas came to mind!! muz be God's annointing.. hahaz..

but anyway, i at the end decide to play the game called, communication breakdown... the game where u are supposed to pass the msg round until the last person.. so its like we have a group of close to 20 ppl.. so yupz.. its more fun.. its really amazing how the msg can be like manipulate to be sumthing else lohz.. worse still.. it is funny.. hahaz.. had a good time today!!

well.. my game got 5 categories; education, advertisement, christianity, entertainment and grandmother story.. well.. we played 3 rounds.. and happen the first 2 rounds was grandmother story and advertisement..

well.. grandmother story i gave was really like a grandmother's story lohz.. its like 2-3 sentences with a lot of nos in the sentence to make ppl confused.. well.. if i'm not wrong, it goes like this..

"In Year 1234, there lived a man called Alex in ABC country and lived in 7 Townville Road. He has 1 car, 2 dogs and 3 maidservants."

ez enuf right?? but guess wat did the last person say.. "He has 2 dogs n i dun koe liaoz..".. well.. its not to bad.. not as bad as the first one (advertisements)

and the other category was advertisement.. i took it from 8-days mag lohz.. its sumthing on the lord of the bengs.. if i was not wrong, this is the sentence tat i use to conduct the game:

"Volume 2: The Two Tuatows
Sarong the Ah Long unleached the Orh Kwee in his Orh Kwee Keng."

well.. sounds complicated huh.. the first person to hear this was wendy.. so its like i need to tell her 3 times and she still can't get it lohz.. anyway, guess wat the msg came out to be??
it actually came out to be 3 words: Man the i-don't-know-wat..

my gosh..

but the last one was the best.. i gave a very HUGE hint saying tat entertainment huimin sure koe one.. and they decide to pick entertainment lohz.. so yupz.. so this is the sentence:

"Orlando Bloom is 27 years old and he has acted in movies like Pirates of the Carribean and the Lord oF tHE rings trilogy"..

huimin is the one who volunteers.. so yupz.. when i told her about orlando bloom.. we both like laughing lohz, becos' she is CRAZY over orlando bloom manz.. so she said tat Derek is her steads, but orlando bloom is her husband..

anyway, shall cont.. then i said orlando bloom is 27 yrs old.. and then she replied, "she koe" lohz.. so yupz.. i was like laughing loh.. haiz..

but anyway, the last one was not so bad.. but the last person who told the msg to me was funny loh.. guess wat the person said! "the person the lord has over us".. my gosh!! how did it manage to turn into tat way?? haiz..

anyway, then had cell group.. huimin conducted the next ice-breaker after the worship session lohz.. also had great fun..

then went into a time of sharing.. tat is to say, guys with guys in my room, and gals to gals in my sis room.. the elder ones is at the hall lohz.. so tat's y.. =)

so yupz.. had dinner.. my mum cooked porridge.. after eating, huimin, wendy and me practice for tml's church service.. huimin's worship tml is SOOOO interesting.. tell ya more about how izzit during the service itself ya??

need to crash soon liaoz.. a bit tired.. as well as i need to be in church at 8.30am and after tat in the evening, i have a church camp committee.. i in publicity.. so yupz.. need to attend lohz.. so i think by the time i come home, it wld be like 7-8pm liaoz.. haiz.. but thank God next day (ie, mon) is a public holiday.. so yupz..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT weekend ahead, =)
<<< aBrIeL >>>

well.. so exciting.. becos' before i start writing to this blog, guess who i saw online?? Sarah-Jane... she is in Perth now.. well.. chatted with her for a while, but she has to go soon, as the shops are closing soon in Perth.. there is NO time difference in Perth.. but if i'm not wrong, the shops in Perth closes at 5pm.. so yupz.. she need to run a few errands before the shop closes..

ok.. feel so happy.. after like never see her for ages.. hahaz..

anyway, here's today update!

today went to school like since 9am.. went for tutorials.. however, today i got 2 lecture.. in between the 2 tutorials, i've got a 4-hr break, becos' my tutor finish her lesson early.. so yupz..

so my usual clique went to Eng School in TP to eat bak-chor mee for lunch (mind you! tat was about 10.10am!).. not bad i muz say, except that the black vinegar (which i ask them to put a lot) tastes weird.. it sumwat bitter.. dun koe y..

then to beat of the time of the 4-hr, we went to computer lab.. junting, limei and i cont. to do the tabulation of results of the Firmenich Lychee Beverage.. haiz.. our aim was to finish the other half of Day 1 results.. which we did from 12noon - 2pm.. thank goodness.. but got two more days of tabulation to do.. haiz... =(

anyway, after tat, went to attend another tutorial.. went home n now, do blog lohz..

actually, wanted to go do exercise.. am too lazy to go.. perhaps next time.. =P

the reason y i do my blog now is becos' i will be watching Sister Act 2 on Channel 5 tonight at 7.30am.. so yupz.. dun want to miss it for the world manz..

sianz.. tml have to go to school at 9am to attend one of those boring entrepunership talks again.. haiz.. compulsory for my cohort to go summore.. haiz.. =(

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead, c',)
<<< aBrIeL >>>

allo.. well.. its update time.. =)

well.. i koe yesterday, i didn't blog.. so some of u may wonder y.. but anyway, to compensate you, here are the 2 updates.. =)

Wednesday (28/1)

well.. this day i went to school the WHOLE day and do my self-training for my FYP lohz.. today my tasting result a bit bad.. i can feel tat its worse than the first self-training that i have done.. dun koe y.. juz can feel tat my standard drop already.. but anyway, i have seen my result and i think it shld be juz fine..

huifang, peiwen and sandy also came to school, to do their FYP... they happen to go opp. sch to buy mantou, becos' the old one they have bought has mould growing on it!! greenish-black colour.. very disgusting..

i think the problem is tat they only put it in the fridge and NOT the freezer.. instructions say keep frozen.. so tat's y..

so yupz.. they went opp. school and buy mantou, and then, huifang call me and ask me whether my team members (including me) want to have the $1 chicken rice for lunch! YES!! you have seen correctly.. $1 !!

we juz say ok lohz.. anyway, $1 only.. surprisingly, the $1 chicken rice was full for me.. it lasts me the whole afternoon... =)

then after lunch, we thought we can go home liaoz.. but then, it's still early and therefore we decide to do the tabulation of results for my attachment company (the lychee beverage thing), becos' dur on 14/2.. so yupz..

we thought we just do it on paper.. but then, we were wrong! We have to do it on computer.. and count 400 ppl's (gulp!) response.. haiz..

so we did like only Day 1 (7 out of 16 qn).. we still got Days 2 & 3 to do.. its the same 16 qn.. but its not ez lohz.. we have to calculate the male, female and overall response.. haiz.. we did the 7 qn for like 2 hrs.. my gosh!!.. we gave up after tat and decide to go home.. my brain was like strting to get giddy.. probably becos' of the constant radiation of the computer as well as not enuf sleep the previous nite..

I have slept at 1am on tues doing my PDM stuff.. haiz.. very tired becos' like 9.30am have to reach school the next day (wed).. =)

i actually thought i have time to exercise.. but becos' of the time i reach home, i was too tired to even walk manz.. i was tat tired.. but i had no choice.. but still have to do my homework.. so yupz..

then reach home about 6+pm, and then bathe and ate dinner.. did my homework (needs my com) from 8pm-9pm, then off my computer to watch the 9pm show on Channel 8 (very nice! must watch!) and then proceeded to watch American Idol 3.. my gosh.. some ppl really just CAN'T sing lohz.. haiz.. as i watch the show, i laugh manz.. =)

when the show was finished (about 11pm), i went to sleep..

Thursday (29/1)

woke up at 6am this morning becos' got lecture at 8am.. so yupz.. did my QT and all.. after tat, went to school.. thank goodness the bus came promptly.. didn't wait too long for the bus.. so yupz..

then went for lecture.. after tat, we got out PDM lab, where my group members (including me) will do trials for our Cherry & Kiwi Carbonated Tea.. we did today altogether 6 trials within 5 hrs and NONE was really successful.. haiz.. we do until we fed up lohz.. but this is how it goes leh.. this is the process..

after the practical, my usual clique can't decide where to go for lunch.. we like eat everywhere until sian in TP liao lohz.. so limei came up with a LAME way, in a sense tat she say whoever wear white will decide to eat Mensa or sumthing like tat..

after much consideration, we were tat desperate.. we decide to eat at Norgan Varz.. for those of you who have NOT been in TP, Norgan Varz is like an air-con cafe in TP lohz.. in my whole life in TP, have only step into the cafe like only 3 times (including today!).. so i had baked pasta (chicken sausage) and a scoop of Double Swiss Chocolate ice-cream for lunch.. not cheap manz.. this meal costs me $5.75.. haiz... i thought the ice-cream i ate was belgium chocolate ice-cream.. but the problem is it is NOT bitter enuf.. haiz.. the baked pasta (chicken sausage) was also NOT very fantastic.. think this will be my last time stepping into Norgan Varz b4 i graduate from TP.. so yupz.. =)

then after tat, went for 2 consecutive lectures.. well.. 1 lecturer let us write so much during the lecture, and thereby can't concentrate on the lecture, and the other lecturer, talk so fast and to deprive to a simple point, she went 1 big round.. actually i understand, and wait till she talk finish, i got confused.. haiz.. well.. tat's some lecturers for you.. =P

then came home after the lecture (n that is about 5pm), and took a nap.. cannot take it liaoz.. i slept so soundly.. 7pm woke up.. ate dinner.. watch TV.. then now on com and do my blog update for today.. so yupz..

gtg becos' i want to watch TV!! Channel 8 show and American Idol 3 on Channel 5!

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead, =o)

hi.. its update time..

anyway, u all may wonder wats the chocolate milkshake and nemo all about.. its a quiz tat i take, and the chocolate milkshake and the nemo thing is the result of the various quizzes tat I have done..

well.. its just so coincidently, i'm NEMO!! so no wonder, i like NEMO the best in the show "finding nemo"! =)

anyway, here's my update..

today at school, i can only describe it as FUN!!

wat happen was today at school, got Communication Skills lesson for about 1.5hrs.. and the lecturer actually go thru' wat are they looking out for, for my complaint letter assignment.. well.. tat was a bit "dry".. however, after tat, i got consultation for the complaint letter tat I'm doing, which is due this sat.. so yupz.. so happy tat my lecturer say its well done.. so yupz.. so now, i just re-type it and dun need to think about it.. wahaha..

had a lunch break for about an hour.. went to Mensa and ate the yong tau foo.. paid $2.70 and the serving is BIG.. but its not very appetizing lehz.. dun koe y.. just eat lahz..

then went for my food processing lab.. this is the FUN lesson!! wat i did was making bread (both FRESH bread and raisin buns.. the other group did cinnamon rolls..).. my gosh.. the bread taste even better than Gardenia!! serious.. so soft and nice flavour.. now, my mouth water liaoz.. =) *drooling*

then after tat, proceeded to do my FYP's progress logbook with my group members.. tell u.. tat logbk test our english manz.. we muz think of a sentence of how we are to phrase the sentence, so tat it wld be clear as well as lecturer when read, able to understand.. we actually stumble upon 1 question, however, after like 10 minutes of thinking of how to phrase the sentence to express wat we want to say, limei finally came out with a profound but yet understandable statement.. well.. we then said to each other tat this really test our english.. haiz..

then we went for CPD (Character & Personal Development) lesson with our careperson.. the game at first was interesting.. it was about asking to ask us to say the colour of the word and NOT the word itself.. so its like taxing on my teeny winny brain, but fun lahz... had a brief terrible headache after tat though.. =)

then went to NTUC @ Tampines Mall and get some stuff for my self-training tml at school.. as usual, got the same old stuff: mantou and bread.. haiz..

also remembered tat I'm suppose to buy kiwi and cherry fresh fruit for my Product Development & Marketing (PDM) practical on thurs.. well.. thank God i'm able to find it.. =). but cost a bomb though.. both items cost me $5.05.. the cherries (178g) costs me already $3.13.. so yupz.. but thank goodness.. can claim.. so yupz..

then took bus 22 home from Tampines.. tat journey took me abt an hour manz.. all the jam and all.. haiz..

then went to my hse nearby supermarket to find some inspiration for my group's product of the the subject, PDM.. we are doing Cherry & Kiwi Carbonated Tea.

well.. bought a can of "Heaven & Earth Osmantus Tea" (new product from Heaven & Earth).. and drank it during dinner.. quite sweet though even i put ice in it..

wanted to buy also the Heaven & Earth Honey Jasmine Tea (also a new product from Heaven & Earth).. .. however, cld not find it.. so yupz.. gave up the idea.. will cont. finding and try it sumday.. i love to try new products..

during my search, i was also surprised to see a new product from Fruit Tree, and the drink is "Kiwi n vege".. sounds disgusting.. but when see the ingredients which contain cabbage concentrate, i dun dare liaoz.. sound a bit disgusting.. =)

k.. gtg and watch the NEW 9pm show on Channel 8.. very nice.. u shld catch it sumtime.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead, =)

allo.. dun koe wat happen to my stupid com.. my com got hang.. so have to re-do this blog update again.. haiz..

anyway, today is a CCOOOLLLDDD and wet day since morning.. like it this way of weather being cool and all, but sumtimes, it is very torturing.. but anyway, i shall not complain..

before i started to re-write this blog, huimin msg me and ask me how was my day and all becos' of my blog yesterday.. i told her I'm fine lohz.. becos' today is a NEW day and of new happenings!! wah! impressive huh?? Chey!

anyway, today went to school for lecture at 9am for the FIRST lecture of the day.. and i tell u it is the WORST lecture manz..

what happen was he was going thru' about 10-15 slides that were NOT in my notes, so i have to like copy or sumthing loh..even though he said its not very impt.. just understand can liaoz..

but however, dun feel secure lahz.. so i write lohz... then he just cont. on.. talk so fast.. then i think nvm lahz.. since he say not impt and all.. and then the WORST thing started.. he was supposed to go thru' the next part of the lecture.. however, he schedule it to be on Thurs.. so he just say "i'll continue on Thurs" and guess wat's the time.. its 9.30am ONLY!! lecture wld normally end at 9.50am.. so yupz.. he was so unwilling to go to the next part.. so i was like thinking to myself: "since he decide to cont. the lecture on thurs, y dun he slow down and let me copy??".. haiz.. even my other classmates are also quite mad with him.. haiz.. wat to do?? lecturer cannot blame.. =(

ok.. then i went for another 2 consecutive lectures from 10am-12 noon.. then after tat, went for my practical interview.. studied it during the CNY break.. and guess wat! all tat i studied has NO use!! haiz.. instead, i'm tested on my previous yrs (ie, from Year 1) knowledge of related subjects.. so yupz.. but Thank God the lecturer tat was testing me was good enuf to like prompt me the answers as well as skipping the qn tat I dun koe how to answer.. but thank God.. everything i koe how to answer.. remembering the facts and all.. =)

then after tat, stayed back in school for about 30 mins to do my logbk for my other group projects.. stayed back and discuss with the group and all lohz..

4th Day Of CNY Visitation

well.. this day started off with going to church for service.. well.. wendy was the worship leader.. had worship and stuff..

then my pastor preached about "clear thinking about our problems".. which the main pts of his sermon today are as follows:

* When our situation looks depressing, think about the GOODNESS of God.
* When our situation looks defeating, think about the GREATNESS of God.
* When our situation looks dark, think about the CLOSENESS of God.

well.. this certainly help me to solve my problems.. esp. wat happen this morning.. so tat's y i need to apologise.. shall not say further.. or else, i wld cry.. =(

anyway, after service, proceed to one of the church member's hse for lunch and CNY visitation.. i tell u.. the hse there is like mini carnival.. got a "mee-pok" stall, a drink station and a popiah station.. so yupz.. so had the following foods:

* 2 popiahs
* a bowl of mee-pok dry (with chilli - thanx to a. lena [sarah's mum]).. she help me to take chillli.. thank you a. lena..

mentioning about a. lena, i forgot to mention tat sarah is also there too!! was so surprised lohz, but happy! so yupz.. manage to catch up with sarah..

said some final words to sarah before she and her parents leave for Perth tml, as sarah is taking a honours course in Marketing & Communication and she wld be gone for 4yrs !

her parents are going there for 3 mths, as they wld be holidaying in Perth.. so yupz..

well.. after talking with her for a while, its time for the whole His Sanctuary cell group (my cell) to go to another place for CNY visitation.. juz happen tat sarah and family is also going..

a. lena cried lohz before we left.. becos' i think she miss us.. sarah look very strong.. but i think tml she will like "pour out" at the airport tml morning, becos' she leaving all her beloved friends for Perth lohz.... ya koe wat i mean??

anyway, i also remain strong.. when sitting in carlise car to go to another place, my heart actually ache lohz.. feel like crying but trying to hold on to my tears..

sarah and me have been best friends since like when i was primary 5 and she was in primary 4.. we had many memorable events tat we had shared together, like the outings we go with her family last time.. so fun.. miss but yet cherish all those moments..

oh my gosh.. i'm starting to cry.. *sob* *sob*.. really miss her lohz (her company n friendship)..

well.. can't go to the airport to see her off tml, as her flight is like 8.50am and i wld need to be in airport like 6.50am.. i cannot make it lahz.. tml i got lecture at 9am somemore.. sorry sarah!!

but one good thing is tat she has a blog.. so yupz.. can communicate in this way..

after leaving, we proceed to another hse for CNY visitation.. it was at serangoon garden.. very near my hse..

anyway, when we went there, there is makan again.. and the host of the hse say muz eat sumthing.. so i just ate a bit of this n tat lohz...

then after a while, huimin just out of the blue started to go kookoo.. and then i term her as MAD.. then wendy came up with this joke.. the acronym of MAD.. u all want to koe?? its as follows:

Min
And
Derek

then huimin was like asking both of us to stop our nonsense.. but we just cont. to suan her lohz.. btw, y, min and derek is becos' min (refers to huimin) is seeing or so called going steady with derek (my kor)!

i then cont. to tell her how radiant her face was yesterday at jarvis hse for visitation.. serious.. i never bluff u.. she look in the pink of health, as well as her face is radiant manz.. serious.. u shld have seen her face yesterday..

i told her about this, but she dun believe..

about a few mins later, wendy then came up with the acronym called, D&D, becos' carlise mention about Dory.. so anyway, the acronym, D&D is as follows:

Dory
& (refers to and)
Derek

well.. same logic applies as the previous MAD acronym.. Dory refers to huimin, becos' she likes dory.. so yupz..

so yupz.. we got so many things to suan huimin now, since now she is seeing my kor.. so yupz.. well.. if there are any good jokes abt 2 of them, will definately share with u.. so wait for it yaz?? =)

anyway, after tat, came home (walk home to be precise! becos' serangoon garden to my hse is so near) and bathe and start doing today's blog update lohz..

so yupz.. k.. need to go and surf the net liaoz..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead,

anyway, here is the CNY update..

3rd Day Of CNY Visitation

well.. left hse at about 2.35pm for visitation at jarvis hse.... went to bathe before tat.. my mum advice me to take an umbrella with me, as it might be raining.. true enuf.. after i reached the bus stop for a whiule, the rain started to get heavier.. and I thank my mum for asking me to bring my umbrella.. anyway, i took bus 135 to ang mo kio mrt and then take bus 265 to jarvis hse..

the nite before, i msg jarvis about directions to his hse.. like wat bus to take.. so apparently, i'm supposed to take a fidal (i think this is how they spell it) bus to his hse.. he ya-ya-papaya told me tat its bus 256..

today i went to the bus stop and find the no., bus 256.. but dun have.. so i thought i got to the wrong bus-stop.. but i called him again, and he told me bus 256.. i sthen say bus 256 or 265?? then he woke up his idea, and say its bus 265.. so yupz.. my gosh.. he's only 14 and he fogots.. worst than me.. i think he also got STM (Short Term Memory).. wahaha..

so yupz.. stayed there for a while and they are talking about huimin steady.. at the same time, i was guessing who it was (of course, i was thinking about Derek lahz!).. i told her who i think it was.. and she said ya.. well.. can see one lahz.. they both kept on going out so often... so feelings develop one.. actually.. i guess as much probably both of them got sumthing on.. so i was right all along.. hahaz.. well.. shall not say further.. dun want to make huimin embarassed.. =)

anyway, after tat, we all proceeded downstairs to the basement (becos' jarvis hse is 4-storey.. and the living rm is in the 2 level.. level 1 is basement..) to sing karaoke.. tiffany sang quite a few songs.. i didn't sing lahz.. tiffany sang like pro manz.. esp. the Zhang Hui Mei song, "Ting Hai"..

then we proceeded to huimin's hse for dinner.. we had a steamboat dinner as well as abalone yu sheng.. it was fun..

when almost starting the steamboat, wendy juz ask a. kay kew (huimin's mum) abt. the food whether it is fresh.. a. kay kew then mentioned about tofu was about 3 days old, as she cld not get fresh ones and there were leftovers.. carlise then said we eat lao3 tou4 fu4 (means old tofu).. so if u koe wat tou4 fu4 means in mandarin n u think a bit crooked, then u wld definately koe why i laugh at the word called, lao3 tou4 fu4.. so yupz.. wendy, carlise, tiffany and huimin, does this answer ur question?? =)

so as usual, the stuff on the steamboat ppl cld not finish.. so as usual, we played game.. we played the range game (ie, guess the no. that the person has chosen from the range of 1-99.. u koe... the taiwan-inspired game.. yupz..)..

so i kana 2 times.. the first time was like i was willing lahz.. but the last time of the 1st roung of the game... which was the noodles with fishball and its the LAST serving, i sway sway got it lohz.. haiz.. i was so full liaoz.. but they force me to eat.. haiz.. =(

then we decide to do the second round lohz.. becos' we are NOT fu-qi tat huimin and her bro (samuel) did not kana.. so since i lost the first round, i had the honour to start.. so happen that huimin guessed the no.. so yupz.. we were like high-fiving each other lohz.. huimin was like so ya-ya-papaya saying that she wld not kena one.. but see.. something happen.. and i actually have her eat lohz.. she no choice..

but in the second round, huimin altogther kena 2 times, her bro (samuel) 1 time, and me, 3 times! haiz.. =(

anyway, after tat, teach wendy a bit of html [KOR: I CAN TEACH PPL HTML CODING LIAOZ!! =)].. wow.. impressive huhz.. hahaz..

the reason y i teach wendy html is becos' she wants to do a blog for Chay!.. Chay! is computer illterate.. so tat's y.. so yupz.. teach wendy all those basic stuff lohz.. =).. and i also offer her my OLD html codes.. yupz..

so after tat, huimin showed me and the others, the Meta videos.. so yupz.. we watched it lohz.. after tat, huimin's mum gave us angbao.. and then we went home.. carlise gave me a lift to my hse lohz.. she also lend me a CD lohz.. burn liaoz.. so nice... the artist is Ken Hirai.. a jap singer.. but got a lot of slow songs.. good for sleeping.. hahaz.. but its soothing lahz.. =)

then visited the last hse (which is the aunty who give us a lift to my grandma's hse), and we had yu sang (but WITHOUT fish) and dinner with Peranakan dishes.. so yupz.. went for eating dinner lohz (on top of going every hse and eat their CNY goodies).. so right.. feel like i'm bingeing.. after eating, i fell so full to the stage tat I think i got stomach cramp.. serious!! Oh yah.. here is the list of food tat i ate to make u salivate further:

* Nonya Chup Chai [have been eating this for a few days liaoz.. quite sianz.. but still nice.. =)]
* Minced Pork, Chicken Ball, Fishball and Cabbage Soup (NOT a Peranakan dish.. this one anyhow han-tump cook one.. )

then after dinner, went to the TV area and watch TV lohz.. watched One Leg Kicking.. then my cousin (12 yrs) then came and sit beside me.. my sis then commended that we are like brothers.. hahaz.. but come to think of it, it may be true lahz.. i big bro, he small bro.. hahaz.. well.. if u want to koe his name, his name is Nathaniel.. so yupz..

after tat, the adults all finish their dinner.. then most of them crowd round the TV and watch the FINAL episode of "Home In Toa Payoh" on Channel 8.. those who watch wanted to koe who did Huiming marry in the end? ex-husband or Dr Yu Daren?? well.. the ending was Dr Yu Daren.. so yupz.. my aunty was like asking me who will Huiming choose in the end.. i said i dun koe lohz.. my the other cousins then make their guesses.. so yupz..

after the show ended, my family decided to go home.. we were like so tired liaoz.. after the whole day of visiting.. so after i came back, i was like so dead tired.. i bathe and then sleep liaoz..

(PS: i actually wrote this blog on sat (24/1).. however, the reason y this blog is on 23/1, is so tat i dun want to confuse you.. tat's y..)

1st Day Of CNY Visitation

Slept at 12.45am last night (becos' i watch the CNY countdown show).. woke up at about 8am this morning.. then did my QT and all.. so by the time i eat my breakfast, it is about 9am liaoz..

i then bathe and proceed to my grandma's (my mum's side) hse.. and tat was abuot 10.30am.. and for the FIRST time in CNY, i drank wine.. my uncle say drink, then i drink lohz.. good huh.. =)

anyway, the wine was like so nice lohz.. =).. the wine i drank was ice wine (aka dessert wine).. so when u drink this wine, after drinking, u DON'T have that dry aftertaste on ur palate (ie, a place near ur tongue) and ur throat.. it is a smooth wine lohz.. =).. very nice..

my uncle actually recommend another ice wine, called Moscato.. yupz.. he say Millenia Walk sells this wine.. one day muz go there and see.. if got $$, will buy.. =).. i'm now like addicted to wine (particularly, ice wine) liaoz.. =)

after tat, my family then proceed to All Saints' Church Memorial Hall to see my grandpa (my mum's side).. its like a yearly thing lohz.. go and pay our respects and all.. and i tell u.. it was also very crowded at that place.. =)

after tat, we rushed down to my aunt's (my mum's 2nd eldest sister) place for lunch.. so we took a NEL train from Kovan and sat all the way till Dhouby Ghaut and then take bus 106 to my aunt's hse at Holland Road.. my uncle (my mum's eldest brother) was also there lohz.. so he join us for lunch.. and again, we had Peranakan as well as other dishes for lunch..

We had:
* Nonya Chup Chai (Peranakan Dish)
* Babi Pon Teh (Peranakan Dish)
* Fried Tiger Prawns
* Beef Curry (hot and shiok!)
* Spinach with Sea Cucumber & Abalone (Yum! Yum!)
* Archar

so we had an awesome lunch and of course, the usual dose of collecting angbaos =)..

After tat, my uncle gave my family to Carrefour Suntec to go and jalan jalan lohz, becos' if come home, will be bored lohz.. so anyway, i walked.. quite sianz.. only carrefour open.. the other stores like Giordano and U2 are closed.. haiz.. =(

wanted to go to millenia walk and check out the ice wine.. but we were too tired.. and dun koe whether they open or not.. so we did not take the risk.. we juz took bus 133 home lohz.. there were a lot of ppl on the bus initially.. but once reached river hongbao, ppl start to go down and the crowd on the bus was not too bad.. still got place to sit.. yupz..

so after tat, came home and check's my kor's reply on icq abt the music problem.. tried to solve it by various means, but can't.. decide to try the conventional method again.. re-download Windows Media Player.. and it work! Thank God!! =)

k.. gtg and watch some quality TV liaoz.. spend too much time on com yesterday.. mum grumbling becos' of the electricity and all =P..
so anyway, if u read this blog before 10pm, be sure to catch the NEWEST season of American Idol 3 on Channel 5 tonite (22/1) at 10pm !! I will be catching it for sure..=).. i think i can be the spokesperson for MediaCorp TV liaoz.. hahaz.. =)

well.. tml will be a REALLY busy day.. i can predict tat i wld only be home at 12 midnight tml (22/1).. becos' 2nd day of CNY is the worst!!, but fun!! will be able to see my cousins (both young and old) again.. so happy.. chey! hahaz..

Zai(4) Jian(4) n have a GREAT day ahead (collecting angbaos and bingeing AGAIN!), =P

then i began to do some of my studying for my practical interview on mon.. studied it about 30 mins.. then went to help my mum to prepare the steamboat food for the evening's reunion dinner..

the main thing i did was to trim/cut the prawns.. my gosh.. its so disgusting.. now my hands still smell of the "sweet-smelling" smell of prawns.. Yucks! but no choice lorz.. since i offer to help, have to do sumthing mahz..

so i helped until about 11.30am.. went to buy lunch.. didn't koe tat all the coffeeshops in my area are already closed, i still went down and go from coffeeshop to coffeeshop.. Aaauuurrrggghhh...

in the end, my lunch was cooking the last pkt of Tom Yam Noodles from the storeroom, with 5 pieces of Roasted Pork Coins (given by my aunty).. it was a wonderful lunch actually.. cheap and good.. but u can say its also free lahz.. =P

then after that, went to change my bedsheet!! This is the FIRST time i change my bedsheet.. but i muz say its a fun experience actually.. =)

then after tat, nothing to do.. i started going on to blogskins.com and find for more skins.. then of course, with my artistic feel (chey!), i chose this particular background lohz.. so wat do u all think??
pls. commend about it on my Shoutbox! huh.. =)

then of course, i did it a bit.. then went out to the dining hall for my reunion dinner with my grandmother (my mum's side) and her maid.. had steamboat for reunion dinner lohz..

then cam back, and bathe and ate my breakfast (which is at 10am!).. then i went down to buy lunch (lunch is dumpling noodles).. not bad lahz.. i usually is their regular customer.. but i think i didn't go there like for about 6 mths.. therefore, the lady boss forgot my usual dish and practice.. haiz.. i thought she can remember.. but she forgot.. but anyway, i juz ate loh.. food is food wat... hungry.. everything also eat.. =)

then went to school for APEL lesson (which is similar to CPD [character and personal development] lesson.. but quite useless.. go school and hear teacher talk.. haiz.. but i got an angbow filled with chocolates, from my teacher.. )..anyway, was feeling half-asleep.. my eyes cld hardly open manz.. i was tat tired and the lesson was like so boring lohz!!

when i first went there, i got a shock.. u koe y? my 3 cousins (two of them are 13 yrs and one of them is 12 yrs) got handphones!! my gosh.. so young have handphone.. haiz.. during my time, i still using house phone manz.. no such thing as handphone.. anyway during my time, pagers are more popular than handphones.. so yupz.. anyway, children nowadays are so well-fed.. dun u think so?? =)

then went to eat dinner lohz.. a lot of Peranakan dishes are being cooked manz.. (btw, i'm Peranakan.. that's y.. ohh.. u didn't koe tat?? how could u?? hahaz..)
The Peranakan dishes include:
*Ayam Buah Keluk (signiture Peranakan Dish)
*Nonya Chup Chai
*Crabmeat-and-pork ball with Bamboo Shoot soup (but no bamboo shoot yesterday in the soup)
*Sambal Babi (which means sambal pork)

and of course, how can i forget.. sambal balanchan... wahaha.. mmm.. mouth-watering food.. i wish yesterday repeats itself manz.. hahaz.. so nice food.. =)

and then after dinner, went into a room for a "yearly torture" by my cousins.. its like a few of my cousins (those big one lahz.. ard my age) were being dragged into a room by my younger cousins, and see them dance.. its was ok lahz.. except that its a bit boring.. but anyway, saw my youngest cousin (of 4 yrs old) dance.. she dance to the tune of "Take On Me" by the group, A1.. she is so funny.. there is one part that requires her to like shake her leg but only minimal.. but u see her left leg, is like she is dancing to sambal dance lohz.. her legs shake like so professional.. but so funny.. u shld see it manz..

my eldest cousin--Shannon (who is 21 yrs old now) and his girlfriend also laugh.. juz realise that my eldest cousin looks like a friend from TP whom i've known thru' Orientation Leaders Training during my first year in TP.. but anyway, if u want to koe wat my cousin looks like, go to my Friendster and look for the name, Shannon.. that is my eldest cousin.. he looks quite cool actually.. chey!

so i tok to Shannon's girlfriend and find out more about her lohz.. hahaz.. dun u think its like the bachelor bringing the gal of his dreams home, for so-called 'integorration'.. ya koe, like the Bachelor show.. hahaz.. chey!
anyway, manage to find out a few things from her.. and wat i can say??
she has the looks as well as the brains.. Shannon.. treasure her huh.. hahaz.. =)

then my the other cousin, Sherwyn (same age with me), also brought his girlfriend to the dinner.. didn't tok to both of them that much.. but yupz.. his girlfriend is like a common face liaoz lohz.. like family gathering or even CNY, sure see her one.. looks like she is going to be part of the Ghui family soon.. hahaz.. chay!

then for the first time yesterday, i played Playstations' Need For Stakes as well as Tekken 3.. wow.. really suck at both games, but have fun though..

then played scrabble for a while.. then its time to go home with my family, becos' nxt day (18/1), got church mahz..

so by the time i reached home, its like 12.15am liaoz.. went to bathe and slept.. i slept like a log manz.. hahaz.. =)

Sunday (18/01/2004)

Rev. Nicholas Choo was the speaker today at church.. he preached about J-O-Y (aka JOY).. but before he started preaching, he played the game with the congregation and i muz say that it is enjoyable.. btw, this is how i manage to find the new quote lohz.. anyway, the one sentence that can summarise his preaching is that whatever u do or watever circumstances u face, do it with joy..

today tiffany did not come to church, becos' she was sick.. so that's y wendy came with sarah.. which i dun koe y.. probably they pa-ka..

anyway, after service, the youths (ie, me, my sis, huimin, wendy and sarah) walked out from church to the hawker centre nxt to Heartland Mall (the usual place for lunch after church service on sunday) for lunch..

i of course satify my craving for wonton mee.. but was not so nice as i've expected.. quite regret my decision, but at least i satisfy my craving for wontan mee.. =)

huimin ate yong tau foo (8 pieces!)..

sarah, wendy and my sis ate bak-cho mee (minced pork noodle).

for dessert, all of us had ching-chow with longan, except wendy was the 'x-tra' one.. she ordered ching-chow with longan and atap chi (ie, atap seed).. all got about 30 crush cubes of ice in each bowl, and 5 longans in each bowl.. except wendy has 3 longans and 7 atap seeds.. =)
(be impressed!! that kind of details can only come from Abriel Ghui.. hahaz... chey!)

when each of us almost finish our dessert, huimin took out a pkt of tissue, "O'Darling" brand.. so i just like said "O'Darling".. huimin is like nod her head and said orh!.. then 5 seconds later, she got choked.. then wendy made a joke saying that huimin is W.O.L.S (slow, but spell backwards.. get it??).. well.. then wendy said i got sumthing to write liaoz.. so wendy.. this is to fulfill ur wish huh..

sarah, a column on my blog will be dedicated to u soon.. for u to remember wat to bring back from aust. in december.. wahaha.. but anyway, not so fast lahz.. it will be abuot oct/nov lah horz.. =)

then came back by taking bus 81, and when reach home, took a bath, and start revising for my tml's quiz at 9am in school tml.. haiz.. but manage to finish it in like 1.5hrs! Thank God!! =)

so later, going out with family to s'goon garden market for dinner and followed by some CNY goods and reunion dinner food shopping at NTUNC Fairprice.. so yupz.. later during dinner, going to satisfy another food craving of mine, and that is to eat fishball kway teow soup.. yupz.. so nice.. mmm.. can't wait to eat that.. =)..

Adios n have a GREAT week ahead,
<<< aBrIeL >>>

hi.. well.. its time for me to update u again..

anyway, i've been to school since 9.30am this morning, as i was in school doing my FYP self-training..

been in school till like 1.30pm.. then, went home by taking bus 22 home.. i stopped at serangoon central's S-11 coffeeshop to buy my lunch.. was planning to buy wontan noodles (as i had not have that for a long time..).. but to my disappointment, they did not sell it there.. so i had to resort to eating char kway teow.. after ordering, i regretted.. shld have ordered prawn noodles instead.. haiz.. but no choice..

so i ate, and bathe.. and now writing this blog of mine.. n doing my school work at the same time.. =)

k.. going for an early CNY reunion dinner (my dad's side) later at my aunt's place.. so have to finish part of my work b4 i enjoy.. manz.. miss my cousins manz.. =).. can talk to them later liaoz.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT weekend ahead,
<<< aBrIeL >>>

allo.. whew.. finish my studies b4 i started on this blog of mine..

anyway, today is quite a fustrating day for me.. =(.. here are the details..

anyway, today went to school to do tabulation of survey results for my lecturer.. then i also meet peiwen and huifang (both are my classmates and also help to tabulate results. and huifang is my class representative).. so happen my tutor told huifang (my class rep.) that she is not so keen to postpone today's tutorial to mon, becos' she said its impt for my this subject quiz on this coming mon (19/1)..

i was like fuming mad lohz.. everyone who heard this also fuming mad.. becos' when huifang ask that tutor yesterday (22/1) as to whether can we postpone the tutorial, my tutor did not say anything.. she juz say 'ok' lohz.. so when she changed her mind like this, we were like fuming mad.. y she never say yesterday??

but think of it.. if today huifang never look for my tutor to ask her personal things, then my tutor will not tell her that it is impt for our subject test on mon.. =).. haiz.. but its still last minute lohz..

anyway, thank goodness i went to school early.. some of my classmates were worst lohz.. they were not, just reached home from school or already travel halfway to home from school...

then, i saw one of my juniors (who is in year 1.. led his class during 2003's orientation..).. said hi.. but i think he muz be in a rush.. so we juz say hi to each other and there he goes.. but its good to see ppl, even though i had a bad day.. at least it brighten up my day.. =)

anyway, while waiting for the time to sort of pass by, we started to do our tabulation of results.. haiz.. so long and tedious.. we did it until we are so fed up that peiwen msg my teacher that we want to give up liaoz.. wonder wat's the reply.. =P

after that we attend the tutorial.. that was even worse.. haiz.. bear in mind that my whole class were quite angry with the tutor.. so anyway, she did 2 things which make us even more angry:

* there is no tutorial sheet for each of us.. except she flash transparencies.. so we all began to copy the questions.. about 10 mins later (when some of the ppl hv finish copying the qn), she told us that we dun need to copy.. she would give a copy to huifang (as class rep) for photocopying.. we were like so pissed off lohz..

* after finish our tutorial (ie, she has gone thru' the ans. etc.), she then told us that if we want the answer, she wld pass 1 set to huifang to photocopy.. we were like so pissed off again lohz..

haiz.. with this type of tutor, can die ah!!! will die of heart attack early if this continues..

anyway, after that, junting, limei and myself (my FYP gp), went down to the food pilot plant to try my friend's traditional chinese medicine ice-cream (this is their FYP proj.. dun think can reveal the flavours, becos' i think its confidential.. so anyway, wat i can tell u is that the flavours are really innovative lohz.. not bad..

then after that, we went to NTUC Tampines at Tampines Mall and buy our things for FYP self-training tml.. looks like i'll be on carbohydates feast again.. becos' got things like mantou and bread for our FYP self-training.. haiz... =(

as i'm about to cross the road n wanted to go home, guess who i saw!! i saw Catherine.. a gal whom i've known thru' Meta 2003.. its such a small world isn't it.. but we juz say hi to each other.. becos' in the middle of the road mahz.. =).. dangerous to talk.. of course, saw her with another gal (i think her classmate).. both sucking of lollipop.. =)

so then i took bus service 22 home.. was contemplating on the way whether to buy the magazine, "NewMan" (this mth issue..).. becos' got Venetta Lopez on the cover.. almost wanted to buy, but in the end, didn't.. becos' dun think i want to spend such unneccessary money.. =)

yupz.. reached home, bathe and study my remaining slides for my quiz on mon.. so after abut 2 hrs, finally finish reviewing the chapter.. =).. so happy..

k.. its off with my eating dinner.. very hungry.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead,

allo.. its me again.. =)

anyway, here's an update..

today NO school again, so went for exercise..

today exercise like no peace, becos' YangZheng Pri School children are having their PE lessons, therefore, everything that I do is a bit difficult.. but nevertheless, manage to get some exercise..

I did the hopping on stairs one (for standing broad jump), and i muz say i improve a bit (i think!)..

i also did sit-ups.. this time, in 1 minute, i did 36 sit-ups.. compared to my previous 33..

then i did my jogging.. but only 1.6km (equals to 4 rounds).. decide to start slow and ez.. but i think my stamina increased a little.. managed to run 2 rounds non-stop compared to my 1 round last time.. so yupz..

then do some training for my pull-ups.. wat i did was holding the bar for 30 seconds.. but cld not hold so long.. i held for only 16 sec.. so yupz.. =(

anyway, will see when i free, then will cont. training...

after came back from exercise, ate my breakfast and about an hour later, i ate my lunch.. yes! that fast.. my metabolic rate seems to increase and this is normal-- your metabolic rate tends to increase after exercise!

then a while, took a nap for about 1.5hrs.. then woke up and revise my tues' work.. and now, on this blog writting away.. =)

guess will not blog for the next 2 days (thurs & fri), as i got school committments.. but see how it goes lah! =)

k.. gtg and surf the webby and read other ppl's blog

Adios n have a GREAT day ahead,
<<< aBrIeL >>>

today NO school!! Yippie! but stayed home the whole day today to do my homework.. slept at 2am yesterday nite, doing my communication skills homework (becos' we got online lesson).. it has a lot of stuff in there, and i muz finish like 3/4 of it, by this morning, or else, i wld risk being marked absent.. so yupz.. started yesterday at 7.30pm and do all the way till 2am (except that i rested from 10pm-11pm, watching Fear Factor.. yesterday nite's episode is one of the WORST Fear Factor episode that I've seen, becos' not much excitement..).. but yupz.. anyway, slept at 2am yesterday.. i said that already?? okiez.. hahaz.. =).. anyway, during my doing of my homework, also chatted with chay!.. giving her advice on her studies, etc.. had quite a long chat with her.. but i still do my homework ok.. hahaz.. =P

woke up at 9am this morning.. actually dun want to wake up, but no choice.. have to do my work.. so now, after writing this blog, i'm back to my work again.. its another subject.. and this particular homework (tutorial to be precise!) requires me to write a report.. haiz.. the lecturer who teach this subject like to do all the wu2 liao2 (means nothing better to do) things like report, etc.. cannot say hand-written.. muz type summore.. got format summore..haiz.. wat to do..

well.. actually wanted to go and exercise.. but decide to do it tml.. one thing is that I am lazy.. another thing which i think is more impt, is to finish up my work first, b4 i go do any x-tra things.. school work more impt.. so yupz... guess will do some exercise tml.. =)

k.. gtg and do my work liaoz..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead, c,')
<<< aBrIeL >>>

alloo.. didn't have time to do my blog yesterday, so i do today.. hope u all dun mind..
anyway, the update is as follows:

Sunday (11/01)

went to church.. led worship.. i think this is one of the BEST worship set that I have done so far! Thanks to God!

have a lot of positive and encouragement commends during our worship evaluation after service.. most of them was saying that my worship songs ties in very well with my pastor's msg of the day..

well.. juz want to thank God for it, becos' i have like ask my pastor what is the theme of his msg like 2 days b4 i start choosing my worship set.. however, of some reason or another, my pastor did NOT reply me back until i have FINISHED choosing my worship set..

God somehow places in my heart that the theme of my worship shld be based on the song, "You Are Here".. its like more of a meditative and sensing the Holy Spirit's presence in the sanctuary.. so therefore, my worship set includes the song, "You Are Here", and all my the other songs revolved round that theme.. have also incorporated some things abt worship leading that i learnt during Meta 2003..
plan to 'impart' my knowledge of this worship leading course (run by ForeRunners) to the worship team via worship retreat which is to be held in March 2004.. yupz.. waiting excitibly for that retreat..

of course during yesterday's evaluation session, there are some bad commends lahz.. but i take it as learning pts lohz..

After evaluation, the same clique (which goes for lunch every sunday, which also includes my family) went to Ajisen Ramen @ Bishan..

this is the second time i've been there liaoz.. quite worth it.. portions/servings are quite big.. whatever makes me full enuf, is considered quite a big serving.. hahaz..

anyway, yesterday i ate beef ramen (spicy) as my main course.. my side dish was jellyfish and my drink was cold green tea (which is free re-fill).. yupz.. all these costs only $13.80.. cheap huh.. =).. we somemore got 10% discount, becos' one of the members got discount card...

after lunch, some of them, including my mum and sis, went home.. so left only, carlise, huimin, wendy, tiffany, my dad and me went for church committee meeting at my pastor's hse.. me as usual, go there and kaypoh only... =)

then almost the end of the mtg, they ask my dad and myself to be excused from the room, as they are discussing about my financial support for my mission trip...

today received an email saying that the mission trip with ForeRunners (which i have signed up and went for audition) would be in Thailand..

so anyway, thank God for His provision, in the sense that the church is willing to pay for me S$1,300 and the rest balance of S$500, i wld have to trust God by faith to provide me with this sum of money..
my pastor said that its no problem for the church to support me the FULL cost of S$1,800, however, they would rob me of the 'faith' element.. so yupz.. anyway, thank God loh.. frankly speaking, i ws only expecting 50% of that cost ($900).. but it came up more than expected.. Thank God!!
However, this S$1,300 is NOT confirmed as a give me yet.. as the church has to go thru' a top committee in our mother church.. which actually states a rule that any amt. that spends a S$1,000 wld have to 'go' thru' them, to see whether its worth spending.. but my pastor say shld NOT be a problem.. therefore, i juz trust that this amt. of S$1,300 is already given to me.. Pray along with me ya?? Ask God to give me more faith to trust him for my financial support.. so yupz.. =) Thanx.. =)

After that, i came home and have dinner.. n watch the Renci Hospital Charity Show on Channel U.. it was quite entertaining actually.. =)

Monday (12/01)

went to school this morning.. have 3 consecutive lectures this morning from 9am-12 noon.. thought i will be slightly late for the first lecture (which starts at 9am), becos' 8am traffic wld always be a killer.. and the bus service 23, would always be a lot of ppl in it.. so somehow, dun quite like 9am classes.. very rush..

however, by God's grace, i manage to reach there like 10 mins before the lecture starts.. so thank God for it!! =)

during the last lecture where i had to pass notes, i all of a sudden have paper cut.. haiz.. n the cut was quite deep.. blood juz kept oozing out.. but manage to stop it after a while.. so yupz.. now, can't use my that finger to type lohz.. it still hurts.. =(

after lecture, went to newly opened Burger King at the intersection between Century Square & Tampines Mall (TP students will koe wat i'm toking about!!).. well.. u may have say y tampines area?? becos' TP students if go out, nearest wld be tampines lohz.. becos' TP in that area mahz.. duh..

anyway, had lunch with my 3 other classmates.. i had my all time fave in Burger King: BBQ turkey bacon meal.. yum.. yum.. thought there is student price, but to my disappointment, when i asked, the counter said no.. so no choice lohz.. have to pay $6 for that meal.. =(

anyway, after that, i left my classmates while they cont. talking, and i left to go to Tampines Mall's NTUC to find out some research for my Food Processing subject tutorial.. it requires us to write a few things about the research that I have made..

then of course, i went home, had a nap for about 1.5 hrs, before i woke up and eat dinner.. and now, at his blog of mine..

so yupz.. =)..

gtg n do my work liaoz.. want to watch Fear Factor tonite @ 10pm, therefore, need to do what i have to do liaoz..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,
<<< aBrIeL >>>

allo.. gd evening.. welcome to my blog.. well.. sit down, and have a cup of coffee/tea/plain water (haha) and read my blog.. its quite shiok u koe.. hahaz.. =)

will first like to update u on yesterday's bbq as well as today's audition.. these 2 events are the main highlights of my blog tonite.. so yupz..

Friday (09/01)

yesterday at the BBQ is considered as one of those days where my dinner would be only equal to a morsel.. serious.. i only ate a morsel.. becos' all BBQ stuff and all.. wat i ate is as follows:

*2 servings of 'yu sheng' (BUT without fish)
*1 BBQ king prawn & 2 sticks of satay (which were "icy cold")
*1 ketupat
*1/4 cucumber
*a bit of self home made satay sauce

that's all i ate!! believe it?? i think if i eat like that everyday, i would be like slim lohz.. immedately underweight.. hahaz...

can't eat somemore, as all were BBQ stuff, and i can't eat it, becos' i got an audition the next day (10/01)..

after that, we did some worship.. juz pure singing lahz.. no high praise, etc.. ppl then start requesting songs, so then i play the piano lohz..

about an hour later, we as a worship team finally have the time to really like practice my worship set which i'm doing on sun (11/01).. yupz..
at popular request of wendy (the music director of HCC), we decide to sing the song "come, now is the time to worship" again.. becos' the part sang by huimin really harmonize well with the song.. so yupz..

ask wendy to see how can i improve in my playing for tml (10/01) audition.. so i played the 2 songs, and i ask her to evaluate.. she gave me some valuable suggestions, and i followed it.. so thank you wendy!!

so after practice, its like 11.30pm liaoz.. then went home with my parents, and we took bus service 135.. so by the time we reach home, its like 12.15am liaoz..

then, while the sugestion by wendy is still fresh in my mind, went to do up the song sheet for tml's (10/01) audition on the computer, and incorporate wendy's suggestion into my audition songs.. so yupz.. by the time i did that and want to sleep, its like 12.30am liaoz..

Saturday (10/01)

woke up this morning at 8am.. do my QT and stuff.. ate my breakfast, and then at 9.30am, started to do some last minute rehearsals of my audition songs.. did it 2 times.. during my rehearsal sessions, i tried to take note of whether i'm singing thru' my nose (which if in that case, i will have a nasal sound)..

anyway, to test whether you have a nasal sound when u sing, u juz put ur finger on ur nose while playing.. if ur nose feels that its vibrating, then its most likely that u sang thru' ur nose.. yupz.. so that is sumthing u may want to take note ya.. =)

during my rehearsals, not to sure lahz... but i juz leave everything to God lohz..

so i left my hse about 10.10am, and took a bus to Potong Pasir NEL(North East Line) station.. lazy to walk to serangoon NEL station.. dun want to smell stink and all when i'm there for auditioning.. ya geta wat i mean?? yupz.. shall stop being so disgusting.. =)

anyway, waited quite long for the bus, but eventually, got to Potong Pasir NEL.. i alighted at Outram NEL station, and from there, took a east-west line to buona vista..

btw, all along in the mrt and the bus rides, i was praying almost every 15 mins, that I would reach there on time.. yupz..

after coming out of the buona vista mrt, went to a bus stop and take bus service 200.. however, was juz curious to see wat time the bus will come.. and to my horror, the nxt bus is at 11.57am.. and my audition is like 11.30am.. so i decide to ring up the ForeRunner office (ForeRunner are the ones who is conducting this audition) and tell them i wld be late becos' of the bus issue thing..

one of their staff actually gave me a suggestion that the director of ForeRunner (whom i koe thru' Meta 2003) can come by to pick me up from that bus-stop.. but i feel that its a bit inappropriate and paiseh lahz.. feel so bad.. so i then decline her offer, and decide to take a cab instead..

that place i muz say is quite near, except that the winding road to the place makes me like almost want to vomit.. yupz.. but i'm glad i didn't!

so anyway, that cab fare cost me $3.70.. and i stop at a bus stop which the person (a staff from ForeRunner) called me to stop.. that was about 11.15am.. i then walk down the street to find the place.. the email that the staff emailed me was that its a green building, but never say its a pvt house type..

so me being the sotong one, walk all the way down to the shopping complex, village centre.. and i was so stupid.. i followed the instructions of how to walk.. however, after about 2 mins, realised that i'm at the wrong building..

so from there, i knew that it is sumthing like a pvt estate.. so yupz.. i tried loh.. and after like 5-7 mins of searching, finally found the place.. however, it is lock, as its the back door.. so wat i do is call up the office again lohz.. and then they tell me the no. to unlock.. and when i reached there, i heard ppl singing.. thought there was another person audition before me, however, they are actually practicing.. but dun koe for wat lahz.. =)

anyway, decide to go in the room, and to my surprise, it was 11.30am on-the-dot!! I was like thanking God all the way..

so they told me to come back about 15 mins later, as they are practicing.. so i actually want to go back up at 11.45am, but feel a bit pai-seh.. so they decide to call me to sit at a lounge.. and when i go in, i saw 2 persons sitting there.. seen them in Meta 2003 before.. one even i talk face-to-face during Men's Conference.. however, i dun think he remember me liaoz.. =)
so i think they decide not to disturb me and they go sumwhere.. and then i started to feel nervous, so i prayed lohz.. n thank God for giving me the peace..

so i decide to go up later.. but a short while later, the director of ForeRunner called me up for audition and interview..

so its like 2 person interviewing me (one is the director and the other is a staff.. all from ForeRunners..).. the staff who call me was like typing on the laptop of wat i said..

so they started interviewing me.. practically, its juz re-asking the qns that were on the 10 pg interview form that i filled yesterday (09/01) as well as clarifying wat i wrote wrongly, as well as ask me sum other qns lahz..

that i think took about 30-45mins.. yes.. it was tat long.. at first, i feel nervous.. but after talking, i feel like talking to a grp of old friends.. very comfortable lohz.. =)

after the interview, i proceed to the auditioning area.. its comprises of 3 sections:

*sing my chosen songs for the audition

-> Sang a medley "you are here", and "shepherd of my soul".. (actually, didn't koe that can do medley.. i juz choose loh.. later in the nite, i read the audition paper, and they actually mention that i can sing medley.. so believe that this is God's Plan!!)

~ both songs i put in jazz chords..

~ the song, "shepherd of my soul", i use the arrangement of wat i'm going to do during tml service (11/01)

*harmonizing/singing a different part to a song..

-> this is an impromptu thing.. i think they want to see whether i can be vocalist, as i actually said i'm able to do so if i have the necessary training.. which in fact i can, becos' i'm in the school choir for 8 solid years (frm pri 3 - sec 4)

-> did "you are here" with Jacq Tay, but this is more of harmonizing.. not actually wat they want.. so they call me to do another song, where i can really sing in parts..

-> therefore, i did "come, now is the time to worship".. sang in parts thru'out the song.. only today then i realise that the highest part which huimin wld sing tml (11/01) during my worship, is actually the melody.. but HCC has made a rule that the highest part is the back-up part..and i told them that lohz.. =).. anyway, Patrick (another staff of ForeRunner) told me that the part i sang was alto.. he sang a sample of the tenor part.. wow.. didn't koe tat.. =)

-> was glad that i lead worship tml (11/01) during service, becos' all the songs i sang today is my worship set for service tml (11/01) at church..

*listen to a CD, and catch the rhythm..

-> the CD i think is Jacq Tay CD.. i think i have her cd.. the sound sounds familiar.. but of course, that was the first time i heard it..

-> Jacq Tay gave me the chords to that song, and they played that cd track two times.. one time is to let me hear.. the second time, i request they play it again, so that i can get to that feel of the rhythm.. so anyway, i did that liaoz.. manage to play the rhythm to that cd track.. oh.. btw, that cd track is called "indifference"..

sound and look challenging huh.. but actually, miraculously, i manage to did it.. all by God's hand on this audition.. All glory be to God!

Anyway, the feedback from the audition (from the words of the director of ForeRunner) is that, i have a strong/deep bass voice and he said that i was very good.. wow.. when heard that, i was really encouraged liaoz lohz.. =)..
can feel that this is it.. i'm confirmed.. but i understand.. they got a lot more ppl to audition.. so other ppl may be better than me.. so anyway, juz trust in God that if this is His Will, i would definately be in! Amen!! =) but continue to pray for me that this is His Will and He would see to the fufillment of my heart's desire-- that is to go to this music mission project ya?? thanx..

anyway, after the interview/audition (which ends about 1.30pm), i took bus service 188 to HarbourFront NEL station and alight at Somerset MRT and proceed to Cathay Cineleisure at orchard to meet wendy, huimin, sarah and joshua.. we meet there and after that, we go to cell outing at east coast park.. joshua can't attend, as he has church service in the afternoon..

anyway, wendy drove sarah's mum car to east coast park.. we had MacDonald's for lunch.. i ate the Promotion Meal C ($5.90-- cheap and good!! Pay $1 more than the promotion fillet o fish meal):

*1 Regular Coke and Fries
*1 DOUBLE fillet-o-fish burger (yum!yum!... was influenced by Carlise and Tiffany.. i tried this the other time, and its shiock.. its freshly cook and hot somemore.. =).. yum yum.. don't quite like fillet o fish last time, becos' of the tartar sauce.. find it quite fishy.. however, i can't resist the double fillet o fish burger.. so yupz..
*1 mandarin orange pie (NOT as nice as the authentic [huimin say this word] apple pie!]

During my lunch halfway at Mac, as i was eating, i saw my sec sch friend, Geh Si Wei.. had a brief chat with him.. asking him about his course and all.. he's like a DJ of TP Business School Radio.. he's studying media and communcations (i think!).. we dun relaly talk long lahz.. =)..
Also saw huimin's "grandson", Kenny.. known him thru' crusade.. yupz.. but didn't really tok to him lahz.. huimin talk to him more.. =)
so yupz.. talk about coincidence huh.. =)

after that, went for cycling for an hour.. quite fun actually, becos' have not rode a bicycle for quite a while.. but it was an enjoyable ride.. =).. had such a nice time at east coast park.. while i cld not tan (but i put sunblock), but still enjoyable lahz.. =).. almost near the end of our ride, wendy decide to go to east coast lagoon and have some drinks.. so most of us did..
and then guess wat! i saw one of my pri sch mates, Shawn.. forgot his surname.. i think its chen..
anyway, thought i saw the wrong person, but as i see closely, he is the one.. thought of going over and say hi, however, his parents were there.. so dun really think that's a gd idea..
i think he see me, he also forgot who i am.. talk about coincidence huh.. =)

anyway, after cycling, our cell outing continues.. we play frisbee and have a mini-picnic.. my mum cooked beehoon, and carlise make sandwiches.. so yupz.. was suppose to have other things, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it can't be done..

so we had decide to eat fast fast, as the sky looks like its going to rain.. so yupz.. by about 8+pm, we cleared the place liaoz..

so wendy fetch me and my sis back home, before returning back the car to sarah's mom.. so yupz..

after i came home, packed my bag for tml (11/01) service, and then, i am on this blog.. think i've spent like an hour on this blog..

yupz.. that shld be wat happen today lohz.. sorry for the long blog, but certainly hope its enjoyable for you as much as i write it lohz.. =)

k.. gtg and sleep liaoz.. need to wake up early tml for church service.. i'm leading worship tml (11/01), therefore, need to get plenty of rest.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead, =)
<<< aBrIeL >>>

anyway, today went school as usual to do the lychee drink project.. thank goodness today is the LAST day! Yippie!

so my lecturer actually feel bad becos' we did not have lunch yesterday, therefore, she give us a treat of Pizza Hut, by asking Pizza Hut to deliver to our lab loh.. =)
so i ate 1 slice of Hawaiian and 1 slice of Chicken Supreme and 2 slices of garlic bread.. wanted and tempted to eat the bbq sweet & spicy drumlets, however, i got a sore throat and cough, and i got audition tml (remember?!?).. so better dun risk it.. i juz sit there and see ppl enjoy the drumlets lohz..

so we went for tutorial lesson at 2pm, then we proceed back to the lab for debrief by my lecturer..

well.. after debrief, went home.. took bus 22.. i tell u.. the bus came so long.. i think i waited like for 30 mins for 1 stupid bus service 22.. haiz.. all becos' i miss one bus.. haiz.. =(

reached home, decide to test my voice again, by singing the 2 songs that i will play and sing for tml audition.. yupz.. so that's how i discover that my voice is coming back.. =)

later in the evening, will proceed to sarah hse, as she is organising a farewell BBQ party at her old house.. think the whole of HCC would be here.. its quite sad actually.. seeing sarah leave S'pore, as she has to go to Perth to take a degree..

so yupz.. so will attend lohz.. as i think this wld be our last mtg.. =).. she actually invited me to stayover at her hse, however, becos' i'm sick and i dun want to get sick even worse, therefore, decide to come home instead.. =(.. but its for the good of me lahz.. tml audition mahz.. =)

Wednesday (07/01)

went to school in the morning from 9am-6pm, to help in my former attachment company, Firmenich, Lychee Beverage Project..

left school at 5.45pm.. was supposed to attend crusade mtg at 5pm, but becos' the project needs my help, therefore, i skipped for the mtg..

i told my lecturer (who was also in charge of the proj) that i have to attend a charity dinner at 5.45pm, and thank goodness, she let me off! Was supposed to meet huimin at novena square at 7pm and wait for carlise to fetch us to the dinner location.. however, due to unforeseen circumstances, Carlise bought us dinner instead..

so we went to Sakae Sushi at Wheelock.. we had 6 red plates, 5 coloured plates and 1 wakame udon (ie, seaweed udon -> my fave now at Sakae Sushi.. u all shld try it sumtime..)

after that, huimin and carlise went shoping at Mango and Zara. i just followed them lohz.. huimin bought her pants at Mango yesterday, and its those typical pattern of hers.. now, u see she buy clothing is all those kind of retro one.. yupz...

then carlise fetched me home, and i slept till this morning..

Thursday (08/01)

went to school again to do the same proj.. had lecture this morning at 8am and i had to get up at 6am this morning to do my QT and stuff..

then a weird thing came by.. i start to develop a cough.. dun koe y.. y of all this time.. =(.. becos' i've receive a call from Joy (from ForeRunners) yesterday (07/01), that i have an mission trip interview/audition this sat (10/01), and i have to sing and play.. gosh.. with this voice.. how am i going to sing?? pray for me ok?? thanx!! =)

ooppss.. look at the time now.. its 11.35pm.. and i need to wake up at 6.30am tml morning.. becos' need to reach sch at 8.30am in the morning, to do the project again.. yupz.. =)

ok.. got to sleep liaoz.. crashing soon.. =)

Adios n have a NICE day ahead,
<<< aBrIeL >>>

allo.. me juz update u here for a while.. now is the evening update.. wahaha.. =)

after my school finish (ie, about 12 noon), my classmates want to go to Bugis and shop for their CNY clothes.. =).. actually, wanted to follow.. however, can't really make up my mind becos' i want to train in the evening and i scared by the time i reached home, i wld be like half-dead.. so yupz.. i actually leave it to God.. i leave Him to decide.. so i say to my friends see which bus came first, 8 or 23.. they taking 23 to Bugis.. so if 23 is here, then i follow them to Bugis.. so anyway, bus service 8 came.. so then, i knew it was God's Will for me to come home and take a nap and then do exercise..

so when i reached home, i ate my lunch and then took a nap for about 1.5 hrs.. then, i woke up, and was determined to go for my exercise.. was actually quite lazy to go.. but in the end, i went.. i practiced according to wat the army ppl gave me..

i hopped on the stadium stairs and doing multiple jumps -- all these to practice for my standing broad jump.

i did sit-ups.. juz enuf to pass.. however, i did until 38.. and of course, i timed myself for 1 min, and see how many sit-ups i can do, however, after finish 38, i was like happy.. but then realised that i never start to time.. so anyway, i didn't redo..

i then took a try at the pull-up bar.. i tried.. but juz can't.. haiz.. =(.. i think i will fail this NAPFA test becos' of this.. =(

anyway, then i ran 1.6km (ie, 400m x 4 rounds = 1.6km).. actually shld run within 8-12 mins.. but then, i took close to 14 mins.. haiz.. in actual fact, need to run 2.4km.. but my army bk states that i shld start with 1.6km first.. so quite satisfied with my running time lahz.. =)

so yupz.. then after that, came back home for dinner.. now, i can't get up as agile as i used to, as my leg muscle is strained.. so yupz.. getting up is quite a chore for me now..

k.. need to go out and watch my 7pm show liaoz.. "ji2 xiang2 ru2 yi4".. nice show.. u shld watch it.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead, c,')
<<< aBrIeL >>>

allo.. watzup?? hahaz.. the ceiling?? =P (being LAME here.. )

after which, reached school and my cohort coordinator (we call it Year coordinator) briefed us on quite a lot of stuff.. and one of those things were NAPFA test.. my gosh.. and she said males muz pass (ie, muz get at least a bronze).. and i was like zi tao STRESSED loh!! and the test is 06/03/2004.. and that means no matter wat, i have to train =(.. wanted to do on this evening (05/01), however, it was raining and all.. so therefore, decide to do it tml (06/01).. yupz.. so anyway, have to jog and all that liaoz.. =(

well.. today is a NEW day..

on the way to school, saw one of my sec sch friends who also in TP.. chatted with him all the way till reached school lohz.. got an update of his life more or less..

after that, went to school for my FIRST lesson of the day, and that lesson is Communication Skills.. wow.. and u koe wat's the best part?? that first lesson only lasts for 30 mins!! and we start at 9am !! and our next lesson is at 11am and the lesson is to meet our careperson/form teacher (sumthing like that).. so we are slacking like from 9.30am-11am lohz.. so that's y i take the initiative to come and do my blog lohz.. smart huh.. =P

so yupz.. anyway, the Communication Skills syllabus was quite relevant to Year 3s (which i am now!), becos' it has things like how to write a resume and job interviews.. so yupz.. quite relevant.. juz hope i pass this subject though.. =)

ok.. gtg liaoz.. think this is one of the shortest blogs that I have written so far.. =)

need to attend class liaoz.. oh.. back to school.. haiz.. =(

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead c,')
