Wee Yong, Dawnie, Sabby and myself took a loooooooooong walk from the bus stop to the condo.
And I finally know who is goodfriend's baby.......
The last time I saw Sabby was during her birthday! This girl ah, forever busy with boyfriend. WHEN CAN WE EVER HAVE A FULL MEET UP AGAIN HUH???
It's goood to have 21st party like this. This is the only time where we can see everyone again. The seniors as well as the juniors.
And Mr Mocca is not Mocca anymore. He looks so thin now compared to his previous size. hah!
And believe it or not, it's the first time I felt not-so-scary while talking to Natalie. Back in Orientation and Camp Eagle days, I was soooooo afraid of her till I don't even dare smile at her. Let alone start a simple conversation. But this time round, the feeling's different. I guess once we graduated, we don't treat each other like seniors/juniors anymore. Maybe that explains why I feel more comfortable (compared to before) talking to her now. :)
I'm glad everyone is doing fine and I'm looking forward for 13th December where the 06/07 batch of excos will be meeting up for a mini CHRISTmas celebration!:)
So, I have been working at the SITEX show at Expo.
Bumped into quite a number of friends at this show.
Though I told myself I want to sell like mad for this show, I don't know why but I've totally no mood to persuade the customer to buy. And somehow, I'm quite dissappointed in myself because I did not hit my target. I actually plan to sell at least 28 sets for the 4 days fair but I guess, hitting 18 is already a big problem. Oh wells, it always happen at every show. Sigh!
I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
And I will be leaving to Korea from 30th November (YES BER, I know it's YOUR birthday) - 6th December.

The day my sis, sherryn (my cousin), Gabriel and Myself brought the 3 kiddos out.
The purpose of the shopping trip is to tailormade Girl Guides and Boy Scouts uniform for the vain pot Evangeline and the cute little Joshua + buy a flowergirl dress for my half-sister.
Both of them will be the younger version of my sis and soon to be bro-in-law. (My sis is a Girl Guide and bro-in-law; a boy scout)
There were two drivers on that day - My sis and Gabriel who just passed his license few days ago. He drove his Dad's MPV lor.
Our first destination was Clementi Vee Garments where Evangeline took her measurements. I can't wait to see her in the attire. I think she will be super cute.
Next was Scouts HQ at Bishan where Joshua tried on the Scouts Uniform.
And he looks super cute in it.
Both of them will be the younger version of my sis and bro-in-law. SUPER CUTE LA!
Not forgetting my half sister as well.
Town after that to search for my younger sis flowergirl dress.
Before that, my sis was telling me to bring those kids for dinner first before continuing with our shopping. Wehn my sis asked the kids what they want to eat, they shouted SAKAE SUSHI!
Kids nowadays DO know how to eat uh!
I brought all of them to Cineleisure's Suki Sushi instead because I had cravings for their egg tofu.
The moment we reached Suki Sushi, the kids took their food and started eating. The youths have not even settled down yet lor. tsk tsk tsk!
We had many "pit stops" along the way because the kids KEEP WANTING to take pictures!
After dinner, it was back to shopping for flowergirl dress.
We walked down to OG orchard and my sis tried on a couple of dresses.
After everything was settled, we brought them to Swensens at Crown Prince for ice-cream.
Along the way....we had pit stops AGAIN!!!
We ordered Giant Earthquake for all to share. And my goodness, the kids made sooo much noise till everyone was starring at our table.
They played with the dry ice and made a huge mess (again).
They CAN REALLY EAT!
Lesson Learnt : I think I want to enjoy my life with my husband first before starting a family...Haha! Is not that I don't like having kids. Is just that bringing up a child is not as simple and easy as you think it is.
But wells, nontheless, I had fun with them! :)
Went to look for Dawnie aftermath.
IT show at Expo this coming Thursday - Sunday!
Interested in buying laptops? Feel free to come over to Lenovo booth and check it out. We are releasing new models in this show. :)
And I'm flying to Korea this Sunday!!!!

I'm always very curious how social night is like ever since Elaine and Fyonne told me about their experience. And I always thought to myself, when will I have a chance to attend such night?Then, one day while I was preparing for school, I received an sms from my 159 (not anymore) khaki. He asked if I'm free to be his date on 20th Nov! Since I'm curious about such event, I agreed.
On the actual day of the dinner, he and his camp buddy; Gavin came all the way from AMK to Pasir Ris just to pick me up. I heard there was traffic jam that's why they were like 1/2 an hour late. And I felt sooooo bad for making Gavin drive all the way to Pasir Ris.
When wee told me they reached, I walked down the stairs super fast because I din want them to be late for the dinner. The dinner starts at 745pm. By then it was already 710pm. And because I was in HIGH heels (well, to me I think its high) I fell down. And now, there's a mini ba-lu-ku just slightly below my knee area. :(
I hardly wear heels!!! That's the disadvantage of being tall.
Wee was super gentlemen that night. Okie, not like he isn't. But on that night, he was really super gentlemen. And I felt so weird because he and I are like buddies. We talked to each other like as though he's talking to his guy friends!
On that day, he opened the car door for me. He pulled out the chair for me. He helped me with all the food. He even asked me if I need him to accompany me to the ladies. Its so not him la. haha!
Wee intro-ed Crystal to me and thank goodness I have her to accompany me that night. Surprisingly, the both of us can click quite well. I made two new friends that night. Crystal and Amanda. :)
During games time, the emcee asked for a volunteer for each table. Hongwee got sabo-ed by his friends. And so our task was to transform him into a lady with 10 items that the emcee mentioned.
A couple of us headed over to Mount Faber to chill.
It was already 130am by then. We ordered our drinks and that was when I had a goood talk with my 159 buddy!
We became very emo. Talking about the poly days and how we missed the poly life. I had fun "socialising" with his camp mates as well. And I got to know better how my buddy is coping in the army.
Well, in life, you meet new people, you bond together and after few months, you bid farewell. All this are part and parcel of life.
I've learnt to treasure the people around me. And I'm someone who treasures friendship ALOT! I miss the poly days.....I know it's difficult for everyone to meet because the guys are busy with their army life and the girls are either working/studying. But whatever it is, I hope this friendship within us will never fade but continue to be that strong till the day the guys ORD.
Next entry will be on Kids Day Out. The day we (Gab, my sis, my cousin and I) brought 3 kids out. Man, it was a headache!
Followed by Goodfriend's 21st birthday party at Bayshore Park Condo. :)
Time for bed.

Yesterday was shopping in town (AGAIN) with cher the goodfriend.We went around to shop for her birthday dress. And I love shopping with her! :)
Went over to Apple Store at Wheelock to pass some reports to my boss. After which, waited for E and F to return from their break. They were having product training at the store.
I WAS supposed to work for the coming Apple Roadshow this Thurs - Sun at Suntec too but because I already agreed to attend my 159's Army Social Night this Thursday. And I can't possible miss out my goodfriend's 21st birthday party. RIGHT? and so, I decided to say bye bye to the moo lahs. (though I'm really really very extremely broke now)
Nevermind, there's IT show next week at Expo. And this time round, I am so going to sell like mad.
Who is interested in buying laptop, come to Lenovo booth and look for me! :)
Monday shopping in town. . . . .
Went over to Far East to check out hair extension! that girl thougt of doing hair extensions! My dear girl, you looked good enough. :)
E and F came and look for me. :)
Decided to head down to City Hall to continue searching for her dresses.
Cher brought me to a place to have chicken rice. $3.50 only. Comes with cucumbers, tomatoes and salty vegetables. Very worth it! and the soup they serve is damn nice! not those normal kinda chicken rice soup.
Go and try it. It's opposite St Andrew's Cathedral.
Slacked at Starbucks before heading down to Changi Airport T3 to find dawn and kenneth for supper at Popeyes.
Goodfriend is a regular customer of Starbucks and because of that, all the staff there know who she is.
Decided to stay at home today. Because I'm super duper broke to the max.
I spent one whole hour (or maybe even more) to pack my room. And now, it looks so neat without those boxes lying around.
OG outing tomorrow at some bowling alley at Yishun and mambo aftermath. Sigh! Looks like I got to give it a miss yet again.
12 more days to Korea. . .

Yeah! Finally, exams are over.There's a very high chance that i'll most likely repeat accounting module. And seriously, i'm soooo dead. Because i don't know how to tell my dad.
He's already giving me 700 bucks for my korea trip and i feel soooo bad that he got to pay additional 1K++ just for me to repeat one
Seriously, i'm really praying that miracles will happen. I don't mind just having a border line pass. AS LONG AS I PASSED, I'M CONTENTED!
Last wednesday, we went back to our hometown for some crab feast.
It's soooooo nice to be back at Toa Payoh once again.
Been staying in the east for almost a month and I'm still NOT used to it. Why? Because EVERY morning, the garang guni man will horn his
(p/s: due pictures up! :) )
One Wednesday......
Ladies night at the usual place. :)
Both Kennys came and looked for us. And thanks Koh for signing E in! and not forgetting the drinks as well.
Kenny, G, E, F, Kenny
Friday, after everything, I headed down to town to meet goodfriend.
It was a shopping spree for her.
We walked around town looking for nice dresses. Goodfriend bought 3 dresses on that day. And the dress she wore to zouk was super sexy! I like! heehee.
Must trained her to wear more sleeveless. If not next time she will never wear!
We headed over to Far East to trim/pluck our eyebrows. 8 bucks only! Cheap and nice!
The beautician was very very friendly. And it was nice talking to her.
She asked us to try brazillian wax. The moment I heard wax, i told her NO! I think I will scream like mad lor... haha! She asked me to try under-arm waxing instead. I think waxing is super painful. Okie, that's not the point anyway.
Continued with our shopping spree after that.
Art and Jenny joined us for dinner at Food Republic. I love the beef noodles there!!!
Zouk after that. Goodfriend's pre 21st celebration. :)
Been one month since I last stepped into zouk. and my gosh, the queue at zouk was mad! It's only 930pm when we got there.
As usual, we slacked at the coffeeshop to kill time.
Shawn was there as well. Was talking to Wenqing and Shawn saw the both of us. He was shocked that Wenqing and I are actually friends. And it's such a coincidence that Wenqing is his instructor in the Navy. He was even MORE shocked when he realised Wenqing is Prissy's cousin! haha! And Jian Hong is in the same platoon as Shawn too. THE WORLD IS SOOOO SMALL!!!!
Mae came at around 11+.
Went back to zouk to look for Goodfriend to check if she was drunk.
Surprinsingly, she was still sober and can even take pics somemore.
GF's friend offered to drive me home. Thank you soooo much!
I got home at around 4am!
Man, I think I'm toooo old to party already. I feel so out of place in clubs now. hah!
Anyways, I met goodfriend in town AGAIN after church. This time round, we went to shop for her presents.
We went to shops like Channel, Burberry, Loewe, Kate Spade, Gucci, Coach and Tiffany & Co. I felt so weird when I enter. Because I never enter into high end shops before except for Gucci, Kate Spade, Coach and Tif & Co.
Oh wells, goodfriend has decided on that Tiffany & Co's bracelet. Damn chio lor!
And I'm sorry goodfriend, for spreading my flu to you! Hope you're fine!
Oh, and obviously, I enjoyed the night with you.
Chilling at coffeebean, with your vanilla ice blended and my mocha ice blended and not forgetting, facebooking with your i-touch! haha! Let's do it more often!
Don't forget our Monday's date! :)
(chloe, we should do this too! we can emo over a cup of coffee.)
My flu is back. and I seriously HATE it.
My eye bags is getting worse. and I HATE it even more. SIGH!
I should really go get some eye bags cream!
Womanilove, where have you been???

Accounting paper was a killer.I have a very strong feeling I'll repeat Accounting module.
Everyone says "Aiya, don't worry. Won't fail one. I last time also thought I'll fail. In the end still pass. Stay Positive".
Thanks for the encouragement. But the problem is, I can't! I left out two questions. 20 marks gone! Though my balance sheet was balanced, the figures seems too huge. And my Income Statement was in a huge mess.
After the paper, I was feeling very down. I cannot help but kept thinking how to break the "repeat accounting module" news to my dad.
Oh wells, what's done is done. No use brooding over it.
I just got to tell myself to do better in the next sem!
Down to IOI Plaza after accounting.
And then to town to search for a dress for my 159's army social night dinner at Grand Hyatt Hotel next Thursday and a gown for sis wedding.
I didn't know looking for a nice formal dress can be such a headache.
Gave up looking for dresses and head down to Liang Seah Street Bridal Concept to try my bridesmaid gown.
I took like less than 1/2 an hour to decide on the gown because out of all the gowns that I saw, only one piece caught my eye.
I'll be wearing that gown for the dinner.
So, looks like I STILL got to search for a white gown for the church wedding.
I'm feeling excited already. This is the FIRST wedding in my family. My sis is truly blessed. She found herself a wonderful husband. :)
At the sametime, I'm feeling rather sad as well. Because the house will be soooo different without her around.
Next year will be my brother's turn. And I'll be all alone. :(
When will Mr Right arrive???? lols.
Down with flu AGAIN.
Been sneezing like there's no tomorrow. My nose is peeling. I HATE IT!
And, my eye bags is getting from bad to worse.
I think I need to get myself the 24K Bio-Gold (Bio Essence) - Eliminating Dark Circles & Brighten Eye Contours cream. haha! Don't know if it really works though.
Oh yay, going back to my hometown tomorrow for crab feast.

I think I screwed econs paper yesterdayThe things I studied came out BUT my mind went blank while reading the questions.
I don't even have time to check. When it was 1230pm, the inviligalotor said we have 15 mins left. At that time, I'm only at part a/b of the last question. There's like 5 parts lor.
Furthermore, I left out alot of blanks in the MCQ segment. And so, I didn't even have time to re-read the MCQ, I just fill in any answers. YES, IT'S THAT BAD!
At exactly 1245pm, the inviligilator took our paper. I didnt even have time to read through my answers. SIGH!
I think I'm going to fare badly. And I reckon I'll fare badly for Accounting paper too.
Accounting is a killer paper. If I can get a pass, I'll be jumping like mad.
I really cannot afford to fail. I know I said this like a trillion times. But seriously, I CANNOT AFFORD TO FAIL. Failing one module means paying additional 1k+. I think my dad will skin me alive lor. hah!
But hey, maybe I'm taking these whole exam badly.
Things might not be so bad as what I think it is? Maybe my faith in God is not that strong.
Maybe I should really think on the brighter side. Who knows, miracles might happen?
All I can do now is stop worrying about the two papers and concentrate on my accounting!
And yes, I cannot wait for the adventure night! and I'm looking forward to 14th Nov!!!!!!
