well tonight, i just found out that one of my friend from British Council is going to pioneer JC, i really hope that i can get into Tampines JC.... afterall its so much nearer than pioneer JC that is located in chua chu kang. but for me, i still do not know whether pioneer JC or serangoon JC is better. through aggregates, pioneer is better. but distance wise, serangoon is far far nearer.

well i bring some chinese new year photos, and im just posting them for fun! at least now i know going to pioneer jc wunt leave me without any friends!

i took this picture after the movies at Singapore Plaza. thats the name right? of the shopping centre near to the Istana.... aiyo i forgot already.

then sometime in the night, of which i forgotten the date, family and i went to KFC at east coast, the dunno dunno what playground smth lidat. i should sasy KFC standards has DROPPED in chinese: "yi luo qian zhang". the chicken is hot from the over as ever. bleh its too hot i mean.

hmm bought the 'fortune meal' which didnt really come cheap especially without free flow of drinks. so its more of 'misfortune meal' instead. lols. its not THAT bad. just find that KFC should provide drinks in meals.



uh the fortune meal consisted of these two stuffs...

anyway, today, i went to eat the famour black pepper crab with a pissed off face as i was still pissed off over the distance to pioneer jc..... its so sian when you think of the end of the day, you need to take LRT then MRT then bus home. what time do you wanna reach home by then? so its not feasible to go to such a far JC everyday.... here are the pics of my dinner!

enjoy....muhahah

Labels: Chinese New Year, outing

ok i got into PIONEER and i am super pessimistic about the school



all thanks to the DISTANCE......
one at one end of the island. the JC is at the other opposite end



the SURROUNDING......
totaly unfamiliar



how to TRAVEL....
totally no idea how to go there. only accessible by LRT



FRIENDS.....
sadly to say, none.



why i chose THERE.....
no idea dun ask me.

overall, -10/10 for pioneer, haven even seen the sch in any pic. maybe i can find out more about the school first before giving a better score. not worth going all the way there, spending 2 hrs or more just to go to chua chu kang two times daily. haiz

for me, i personally dun think it is worth going all the way there everyday, waking up so early and then going home so late.

oo this was for last night, where dad brought out JAP FOOD! wohoo! im a total jap guy, so yeah... my wardrobe is mainly jap clothes too!

wohoo! lets say we blew up 50 bucks? just on the snacks. bought tons and dad also dug up the snacks that we brought home from japan! :D munch munch time!

oo thats my bro lazing in front of the TV!! he only poses to me everytime whenever im about to take a pic of him!


hehe now is his second pose! look look!



then i decided to make my bed, was sweating it out as i was sweeping the leaf-stricken car porch, so i had to wash it later on... water the garden... slipped and nearly fell so many times. my slipper is super duper lousy on wet surfaces. then i also washed up the kitchen area.... watered the garden at the back and the sides too.

thats my bed!lol its super dim as my bedroom is dark.... its a bedroom, not the study room, so obviously its dark!

oo today, i went to do house visiting!

here are some pictures that i took during the home visiting, lols they are just pics of the oil paintings that my paternal auntie did. she is so good at painting man....

this was done on a white silk cloth!

again the same problem, this was done on canvas. these are all oil paintings that require weeks to be done up as my auntie is working and in singapore, everyone is busy with work.

then came the lunchtime reunion that i ate with my paternal auntie and her family. here are the pics! ate so much food! i was so full..... chatted alot with my cousins!!


first was all the 'bai nian' where we give good blessings to our older generation and our older generation give blessings to the EVEN older generations haha!

then came the food.... there was chee chion fan. hope i spelt it correctly....

then they had this super huge ha gao.... its like the normal kinda 'dianxin' which is uh....dunno what in english. dumpling?? some kinda small dessert, usually handmade...

oo then there was lion dance! then there was this thin fortune god who followed behind to collect more ang paos, which are also known as red packets.

i got to say i have been very very busy during this chinese new year period, so i have very little time to blog. finally, i have found time to blog! i took lots of pictures during my celebration, but they are mostly from one event only as chinese new year as CNY is the time for families to gather once a year and chit chat while eating together! so obviously i was too busy talking to people till i forgot to take pictures.

oo i had dinner with my paternal grandmother at the soup resturant, that is located at Seah Street, just next to Raffles Hotel. first up was 'lou hay' i think i spelt it wrongly. pardon my lousy dialect. anyway it is called 'yu sheng', its loads of i dunno what put together and chinese will use their chopsticks to lift the ingredients high up into the air, sort of a tradition for good luck adn prosperity.

okie after all the words comes the photos! i took quite alot of photos. these photos were last night's photos!

after all the 'lou hay' bro managed to fling one strand into my cup of tea! ok maybe its too blur, now lets take a closer shot....

tadaa! dun worry...its just a slice of carrot.... carrots dun kill, not in this size. hehe!

omg omg dad said in chinese "ok can serve the food already".
guess what, all the food came like a train like that! walao eh non stop de! the whole table was like full and i had to keep taking pictures. lucky we didnt order those with loads of servings.\

tadaa! its chicken! the thing in the middle is the garlic>? something like that. never like em. then they also served us CABBAGE. the plate just diagonally behind. it was just PLAIN CABBAGE. in my mind i was thinking 'do i look like a tortoise to you?!' ps my aunt's tortoise eats the same kinda cabbage. anyway the whole cabbage was untouched. you could practically sell it back to the supermarket.

this soup is da best! from Soup Restuarant, its was so tasty!

this is uh....mushroom...some other stuffs that i dunno what, ps im not a traditional kinda person so dun ask me chinese dishes. you will only receive a blank face and a long 'uhhh.... not sure' as a reply.

this one, is some chicken la, some other stuff seafood that i forgot the name. ps told ya im not traditional :-P

ps soup too nice, had a second bowl! thats lotus root!


bt the time the time this fish came, i was more or less bloated... cuz i actually ate before meeting my parents, oh yeah forgot to mention that i went with my darling, nicole and her friends of whom i just forgot their names for the third time. ps i suck at remembering names! the outing was like fellowship, afterall we felt wierd as we couldnt see our church friends on sunday, so nicole planned a movie! yeah! i more of enjoyed the accompaniment of friends and my darling! it was so rare for her to join me! usually we only meet like once a month....

Labels: celebration, Chinese New Year, fellowship, friends, My Darling

firstly, i would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year!!

okok today, i am feeling tired out after going to so many celebrations, all packed up for my schdule for this few coming days, so you can expect to not hear from me in this blog maybe till tommorow? really busy, so dun have that much time or what, plus im feeling tired and lazy..

*snore...ZzZ

today, nothing intersting as i stayed at home the entire day...till the evening!

that was because i needed to go for my GP tuition! it was nice.... as in easy to understand and absorb. today there was also a new student, his name is....uh....benjamin i think. aiya anyway i love to do arguementative essays and i can manage them, so it wunt really be such a big problem! now is to do the sourcing for more information on the news and politics!

wow first lesson and there is already homework....have like 10 topics but we just need to do 3 of em! i was expecting homework, just that i have no idea why i was like aww...homework.

oo one more cool thing! i bought more of the meiji black chocolate! if you still remember how it looks like.... woo i finished more than half a box of em as i was falling asleep. even though im a night bird, when it comes to studying, studies have this special "tranquilizer" effect on me. haha!

Labels: tuition

oo i just created a live journal account to test it out! will be blogging there too, just that the content might vary.

heres the link! Join LJ too! haha!


anyway for those who have live journal account, do send the link over too! so that we can be friends in LJ~!

today is already the 19th of january, barely two weeks left to the release of the posting results....and its barely one week away from the Chinese New Year! haha its time for the teens to collect our annual bonuses!

oo today, nothing that interesting,expected the newspaper man to come. as in the garang guni man! uh they are people who collect unwanted newspapers for recycling.

Mum asked me to clean up ALL the toilets in the house.... ps there are 4 TOILETS IN THE HOUSE! and after slacking for so long, i am not used to working.... hehe so i only cleaned up 2 of em. afterall, the toilets needed constant scrubbing like crazy as they were neglected over the month!

hehe obviosuly when it comes to cleaning the house, it got to benefit me first. so, i cleaned my own toilet first! i made sure everything was sparkling clean and my reflection could be seen!

tadaa~! see its so clean! haha believe it or not this toilet is more than 16 years old! thats because once my parents bought the house and moved in, i was born! so i am same age as the house. *now i feel so old.....

next up was my parents' toilet, as afterall they always use the toilet and if you want to make them happy, the most obvious way is to clean up the stuff that they always use as it impacts them the most. so i headed to their toilet arm with pails and cleaning detergent!

well i was shocked when i saw my parent's bathtub man! take a look....

its all yellow..... mine was never like that as i always like to be clean plus once i see that it is dirty, even though i am tired, i will still clean it! anyway their bathtub had this whole layer of blackish stuff over the bottom....plus the sides of the bath tub was all yellow.....so time to get dirty and scrub!

so i scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed.....scrub till i actually managed to sweat like mad! X.x luckily i had a whole bottle of Gif in my hand man! if not i will have to stinge on the remaining cleaning detergent :P

so this time, i could afford to spray the entire place with Gif!! yeah!! shh....dun tell my mum hehe lols afterall i didnt use that much....i think.

see the difference>? now it looks so much more spacious plus its feel good to bathe in a clean place....afterall you bathe to get clean huh? who wanna bathe in a dirty tub knowing that you will still be dirty?

cleaned the walls and scrubbed the bottom of the tub like crazy, slipped and fell so many times all thanks to the soapy place. hehe anyway i am already used to it! ps used to pain till its nothing to me, think my nerves got destroyed or something....hehe

Labels: Chinese New Year

there is only a week left before chinese new year reaches! wohoo~! so has everyone bought their new year clothes?? i bought mine during my japan trip! so that means i have enough clothes for the 2 day celebrations! cant wait for the ang baos to come rolling in! *daydreams....

OK back to my life! lets see....today i went out for fellowship after service....i had lunch with cell group....chatted with em and left for home as i needed to clean up my house before chinese new year arrives! well its like a tradition kinda thing?

oo first thing i did was wash up the kitchen.... parents and bro were also helping out with the spring cleaning!

see so clean! i mean the floor.... mum asked me to clean the floor....the tables are filled with food so that in case of a war, we will SURVIVE. seriously! wait till you see our storeroom man! i can survive for 2 more WorldWarTwos.

after that, i nearly broke my fingers while cleaning this man! afterall i was on the phone with my darling and i wan sticking my finger in and out of the holes. gee sounds so wrong. ok anyway, its hand carved wooded what bed? so i had to clean all the dust filled gaps and the legs of the bed was terrible man. mum said "we never thought of cleaning there." so.... it was one whole thick layer! OMG.

see the water in the pail.... clear water will allow you to be able to see the bottom. the water was black.... and i was not even done cleaning the whole thing up yet!! hehe my towel is there hagning through one of the gaps...

next thing i did was clean up my piano! it was a little dusty at the top, overall it was still clean as i use it everyday and i ususally use it for about an hour a day. so it should not be dirty....

hehe the keyboard still looks so new! but i have not tuned it for over 5 years..... i think its more like 7 years man!

ok anyway, i cleaned it a little, then i vaccumed the whole house, i missed out third floor as i was too lazy. plus the vacuum cleaner rolled and bounced down the stairs from 2nd floor to first floor?? plus it banged into the walls so many times.... it rolled over so many times... fell down the stairs so many times too....

tadaa~! thats the dining area.... while i am standing in the first living room....i have another 2 more living rooms upstairs! woo~! yeah the picture is blur.... i have no idea why. a little messy as i am not done with the clearing of the small items yet..... i still have to deal with a new TV man! where in the world am i suppose to put it?!

Labels: Chinese New Year, church, fellowship, friends

today, i went to the Volvo Ocean Race as a scout and the race village was so much emptier than expected!! i think its because today was reserved for scouts only. i saw tons and tons of scouts plus there were no other tourists or locals there...

sadly, my darling couldnt join me as she had her CNY preparation. afterall she is the MC....what if i appear all of a sudden!!

ok back to topic. here are the pics of the race village!

thats like the main hall where to scouts gathered for some kinda talk. the pre-ventures and ventures wandered off away form the scouts as we toured the race village... ooo guess what! i met my primary school juniors who were helping out in the event too!


seriously i have no idea why my fingers keep cutting into every picture....down there was super glaring plus with my handphone privacy protection screen, i couldnt see anything! so i snapped these pics based on my instincts. oh yeah these are the racing boats! cool huh. they are so tall yet so stable. heard they have this long lead tube under the boat to stabilize it.

thats like the movie theatre? justthat they have a really short clip for you to watch, its titled uh....life to the extreme i think. something like that. gotta say the sailing was really gruelling but its super cool la. if i had the expertise, i would have gone for it.

me and bernie shared this iceball! they had a choice of 3 flavours and i asked for all! :P

oh yeah. then, we went for the presentation kinda thing where the people showed us more about the race and the history behind it, plus the person doing the talking didnt really make it sound so interseting..... anyway here is the trophy!!

they said this is all the winner gets!! not even cash or whatsoever, just this. and the pride that come with it. after all the gruelling 9 months....looks like the pride is the greatest achievement....

anyway after that, we got bored and the pre-ventures, bernie, alisa, stefanie and I decided to go over to the other side of sentosa form where we were, sentosa cove. we then took a tram to the siloso beach... where we walked on the beach and just sat there. before i went to buy a bottle of beer! :D


took some pics of the beach as we chatted a little and just walked around aimlessly....


nice scenery huh? i so feel like going there again as my birthday celebration with my close friends!

today, i went to my mum's office!! thats because i wanted to find out more about IT security as well as head opinions from other people on which path to take for my tertiary education. so i spent one whole day there till mum logged off!

anyway, i am still pissed off with blogger for not being able to detect my photos properly and anyhow arranging them, so that pisses me off as i cant rotate the pics!

oh yeah, i took picture of my mum's SUPER DUPER KADUPER(dont think there's such a word) but anyway its super messy! see for yourselves.... well she has her own personal partitioning.....so its like you got a room all to yourself, just that you have to share the air con! :D

well it was only later on when i tidied it up for her! hehe i got paid for that man! like what 5 bucks? for all the wiping and rearraging of items.

you see, i am not so popular in her office till i have to see everyone till its all back to back right? so what happened was that i was free....nothing to do.... so i saw an eraser! then i saw a penknife! then i cut cut cut slice slice slice.... TADAAA!!!

uh its not that easy to see.... just that it is 3 crosses in the middle of the eraser, of which i greatly made it small.... uh notice there are THREE crosses.

then i carried on with the minor touch ups.... then suddenly pluck! it droppped out. ps one of the stars dropped out! so....i was missing out one?

then i decided to do super childish drawings....

then this is my theorem!! lols i know its kinda senseless.... but you will understand it soon....in time to come lols!! hopefully.....

then i was bored again....so i made a paper aeroplane out of a small sheet of notepad paper!! it was like so cool? anyway....had fun making it, totally had no idea what to do at first, just followed my instincts and i got it out!


i ahve to choose my options now....so not gonna be like free in the night or whatsoever.... haiz haiz stress stress.....poly or Jc..... if go ploy, the course that i want would be 100% secured as my score is 6 pts above it. JC... also confirmed le. so whichever way im going, i just hope the lord will lead me to the best path for me....and hopefully it follows my passion even though my mum says its my "dream"

first thing's first, Happy Eighth Anniversary to my darling!
oh wow i didnt even get to see her face, just talk over the phone.... shuks man.
today had to visit Singapore Poly so as to tour round the campus and find out more about the school environment.
then as usual....last min have to attend to stuffs.....so cant go to the upcoming Volvo Ocean Race with me on this friday.....
just ahve to hope that she can go out with me during valentines. PS its on a saturday.
anyway i will be going with bernie! i think. O.o
lols
ok enough with the sad part,

now is the stressful part:
tonight, i am going to have to make my choices for my next level of tertiary education: poly or jc? should i follow my parents' advice or heed my own conscience?
i went to SP, as i mentioned earlier and i found the campus nice and big, convenient too...
the only problem is that it is quite crowded.
another thing is the size.... TOO big!!!
hmm another thing i didnt feel comfortable with was how the blocks are arranged.... the schools are like all scattered around, so it isnt like TP where you just branch out accordingly.
other than that, the place is nice, quiet at some places, nice...
oh yeah its super windy too!
oops thats only when its out in the open, when you are walking around the buildings, its so humid. X.x
another that kills me are the stairs.... TONS OF em.

no matter how, i end this wordy post with a thank you to deborah for bringing me around SP and happy anniversary to my darling!!

Labels: My Darling, O level

oh yeah. just in case you dont know that i just finished my o levels, now im telling ya.

well i did much better than expected from a student who doesnt bring textbooks and does not do any homework in school. first of all, i gotta thank God for giving me such good results!

ok here's my result slip....

as usual, blogger problem. oh never mind!



this is the puddings and tiramisus..... gonna take them later! gee they actually pack the underneath with ice cubes?? such a waste of the ice....

i see crab....(all the way to the left) such a big variety!! wooo~!


after that, i zoomed off and took the food!

thats what i took for my FIRST plate! i ate a total of over 7 plates??


ps my dad didnt know that the fish needed cooking so he just ate a slice and he complained, saying it tasted awful..... then later on, we put it on the fire and cooked it! then it looked and tasted delicious!

oh man oh man this is the bamboo clam, its super nice to eat! well the actually have the shell still intact and it is served piping hot! with the mouth watering sauce....it was haiz delicious! i keep saying delicious don't i? O.o

anyway i ate like 6 servings of these by myself! they were under the luxury items that people was supposed to queue for, but as we paid extra, we could order and it would go straight to our table!

mum took a few crabs man! like what 4 crabs?? and keep in mind this was the FIRST ROUND. later on, i remeber that we took even more crabs. the snow crab was soo sweet! plus its cold! so cold and sweet.... get what i am saying? the meat came off so nicely from the shell and the meat was always bright pink on the outside!

uh then we had this thingy.....dunno whats the name for it. all i know is that it doesnt taste that appealing....so nope! not good.

this is the sashimi~!! super nice, although it wasnt like super fresh kinda thing, but still fresh. thats tuna and salmon! later on... dad went on a rampage...he gobbled up like 5-6 plates man! and the sashimi was all fish?!

oops same problem. anyway thats smoked salmon and soft shell crab! i love soft chell crabs, just that the only setback is the way they cook it: deep fried.

MORE sashimi. this time, dad ordered one of everything.

tuna~!

yellow tail~!

then i suddenly changed my mind and ate up another bamboo clam serving!


bamboo clam rampage for meeee~!!!!!
3rd bamboo clam....

back to crab meat...


thats bro and his dessert.....

huge prawn... me like!

they served really small portions of udon....

fourth bamboo clam

i had some really good ice cream....just that it looked real bad. cuz the machine was like splurting out the tube in all directions, i followed mac style, the one where you go round, but it came out like this!!

bro eating MORE DESSERT.

mum took this herbal porridge?! 100% can taste the ginsengs brewed with the porridge.

uh... this is sharks fin! soup....

mum took more sotong.... as if i wasnt sotong enough. X.x

Fifth bamboo clam!! wohoo!! bamboo clam rampage!

this was what was left of second part..... we still had more dessert!!

MORE MORE dessert....

herbal tea anyone?

second serving of beef!!

OMG.... now i so feel like going back there and eat again!!

hehehe sixth bamboo clam!!

woo herbal tea~! this is what was inside the pot.

anyway i took more pics, no idea where they went, too lazy to find them too. so....yeah. bye bye!! need to return to crack my brains over my next form of tertiary education. see ya! *head bleeding
