For the first time in my life, I celebrated a birthday on a yacht. Yes, a yacht!It was a surprise birthday party for my cousin aka my room mate who turned 23 yesterday.
People who turned up were mainly her secondary school mates and their other halves. I was the only family member there. Thank goodness all of us were from the same secondary school if not I think I'll die of boredom.
And yes, we had the entire yacht to ourselves. How cool is that? heh!
We set off at around 730pm and got back to the pier at around close to midnight.
The yacht stopped at this island in the middle of nowhere. As it was quite dark, some of the girls decided to go skinny dipping.
I wouldn't mind skinny dipping IF I knew how to swim.
I couldn't wake up for lesson today because I was way too tired.
I tried to set my alarm as early as 730am but I failed.
And I had a very weird dream last night. In my dream, some weird looking fella was talking to me about Change.
In my dream, this weird fella told me it's very contradicting to tell people that you want to change and yet you don't show it.
He then went on lecturing on the important factors of change. I couldn't remember what was it. All I know was, this weird fella kept focusing on the word change.
Was he implying on something?
Well, Change takes place everywhere, everday.
People change. Everyone change.
You know it, I know it but yet neither of us are acknowledging it.

2009 is prolly one of the most boring CNY ever.Very few relatives came over this year because they had other family gatherings.
With my ten fingers, I could easily count the number of visitors that came to our place.
Maybe that is the reason why I'm not enjoying this year's CNY at all.
Another reason is probably due to the"war" which happened in the family during the eve of CNY.
I don't know if the adults are putting up a mask infront of us? But I'm glad my aunt and uncle are now on talking terms.
Past three days at home was super boring.
Nope, I did not visit anyone!
Every year, the relatives will gather at my place but this year, like I said, most of them couldn't make it due to other family gatherings.
Wanted to head over to some friends' place but seems like everyone has their own plans this year.
I hate planning for gatherings because it's always difficult to have a full attendance.
This CNY is indeed a boring one.
It's just like any normal days when I don't have to attend school.
I was soooo bored at home till I took out my commercial law lecture notes and write notes on it. YES, I WAS THAT BORED!
And I realised I'm actually quite a homely person. Hah!
After CNY, my timetable will be packed already.
And this year, I'm going to make my resolution come true - I will be early for lesson and will be extra attentive during lectures!
And I will make it a point to revise my work everyday! :)

I am one of many,Small branches of a broken tree.
Always looking to the ones above
For guidance, strength and security.
One little branch trying,
To keep the others from breaking away
Who will fall and who will stay?
Now I stand alone,
Looking at the earth through the rain
I see the broken branches I knew
Scattered about me in pain.
There are those who have taken an axe
To the root of our very foundation
And who have passed this destruction
Down to every new generation.
If I could take that axe
I would toss it deep into the sea,
Never to return again
To harm the generations that follow me.
I am one of many,
But alone I will go.
I will plant the new seeds
Where a beautiful tree will grow.

Business Statistics today was okay.I never expect myself to end up in a business course because firstly, I'm not really interested in business. Secondly, I'm not a business person.
But surprisingly, I'm beginning to enjoy this course and I think business stats is quite a challenging module.
I'm glad I was early for lecture today. Prolly is because I slacked too much last week.
(Not like I want to. It's because I don't have any lessons last week.)
I managed to wake up at 1130AM despite the fact that I got home at around 430am the previous night and surprisingly, I DID NOT FALL ASLEEP AT ALL! :)
Steamboat yesterday with cher and pris at Bugis Chong Qing.
Dawnie couldn't join us because of some family matters. (Hope you're feeling fine girl)
I ate $18 worth of la las, fishballs, cuttlefish, mushrooms and crabs.
After yesterday, I realised I do eat ALOT actually because the both of them were practically starring at me gobbling down the la las and cuttlefish and I made the both of them wait for me to fill my stomach.
I was still happily eating when the both of them says they are full.
So, who says I don't eat? heh!
I was quite surprised myself that I was actually the "last one standing." lols!
Headed down to Taka after that to grab some drinks and to digest our big fat tummy.
The girls left for their own activities while I headed down to zouk to look for the mambo queens. (it has been a while since I last mambo-ed)
I'M SUPER HAPPY TO SEE MY SIS AND BRO-IN-LAW back in Singapore after their one whole month of honeymoon! They sure have lots to talk about when they go church this sunday. And I reckon, they will be super busy answering all the aunties questions on sunday.
It's always fun to mambo with them and the rest of the gang!
E and F joined us too and that makes it even more fun!! :)
Rest of the pics is in Zeng Zi Ong's camera!
The next time we mambo together will most likely be few months later.
I'm really really happy that the love birds are back! Though my sis is not living with us, I'm glad that at least she's back in SG! :)
Every sunday, some of the aunties will come up to me and asked me how are the both of them doing? Indeed, everyone in church miss them like crazy!
Business Stats again tomorrow.

Haji Lane with the womanilove yesterday.We spent the entire day roaming around Bugis hunting for cheap thrills and we're very very happy with our buys. :)
Poor TanWeishan, she got stepped many times and people who stepped her never even apologise. Instead, they pushed us aside and continued with their shopping. tsk!
We spent about 4 hours walking around Bugis Street.
I cannot imagine I spent sooooo much time there.
The crowd was crazy. Every stall is blasting their music.
Everywhere you go, you can hear people shouting "Ten dollars, Ten dollars only. All new arrivals. Come in and take a look." If not, there will be people blasting CNY songs at the loudest volume ever.
If it's not for cheap thrills, I wouldn't be there.
The crowd was madness! I feel like as though I'm stucked in a room with no doors.
Decided to head down to Cheeeeeeenatown (Again) because TWS needs to get some decorations.
Before that, we had our super budget dinner.
We were like some office lady who just got retrenched, going around hunting for jobs. haha!
Thank God this friend of mine is not those who will go for expensive food.
Actually come to think of it, I think I prefer dining at hawker centre/coffeeshop rather than expensive restaurants?
Wah, whoever is going to be my bf don't have to worry man. My maintenance is quite low. LOLS!
Like I said, you don't need to be rich to be happy. You don't need to brag about the things you owned to be happy. There are other more stuff for you to be happy about.
I just don't understand why certain people like to brag about their rich lives? Issit already in them?
No, I'm not saying this because I'm jealous or whatsoever. Envy? Of cos NOT as well.
Is just that I cannot stand the way certain people are "acting" infront of me (and prolly my friends as well)
There are too many two-faced people in this world.
I admit, I'm one of them too.
I mean, everyone of us are different when at home and outside.
But well at least, I take criticism and I try my best to change whatever bad attitude/character that is in me.
I just don't understand why certain people just don't get the point?
Do they really think people looked up to them because they are wealthy?
Gosh, I just hope one day they will come to their senses and reflect on themselves.
Man, why am I starting this whole topic again?
Ok anyways, TanWeishan and I headed down to Cheeeeenatown after our dinner.
We went around searching for nice decorations for her house.
And like Bugis, the crowd was crazy. Infact, worse than Bugis.
But the good thing is, I could feel the CNY mood. :)
Every stall was selling their goodies at 100g for $1. Freaking cheap I tell you.
Every stall were practically using the loud haler and shouting here and there, snatching customers.
Anyways, that man was super funny. I think he recognised us because we went chinatown few weeks back. He kept opening the goodies for us to try the flavours and he even told TanWeishan aka HONEY (*inside thing) that she could open anything she wants.
And that woman, instead of saying thanks, she asked the guy to help us take a picture.
I purchased 200g of goodies from him. Felt so bad because he opened almost all the flavours for us to try.
Can't wait for New Year to arrive because I'm freaking broke to the power of 100.
The girls haven't plan whose place to visit yet. Prolly sab's house again this year. Yeah, twister, mahjong, 21. Whoo Hoo! Can't Wait.
And yes, sis and bro-in-law will be coming back this Wednesday.
Like finally, after one whole month of honeymoon!
I bet they will be very busy when they attend service this sunday. Hah!

It takes time to know someone's real character and attitude.Sometimes, its
It's also difficult to tell that someone how bad his/her attitude is.
It's even more difficult when after telling, he/she don't understand at all.
Like what I said in my previous post, my tolerance level has already reached the peak of the moutain and it will burst anytime!
I think I'm on the verge of letting IT go and giving this whole
Nevertheless, I'm glad I have friends out there who somehow played a part to distract me from thinking about all this f-up issues. :)
Dawnie delivered double cheese burger meal to my house on Wednesday.
After which, we headed down to Century Square to do some CNY shopping.
Bumped into Joel and everytime I see my (central side) friends, they'll always asked me the same old question, "So, TM and Century Sqaure is your new hang out place is it?" heh!
It's so weird to see him in the east and I'm glad we did some little catch up.
Down to Suntec aftermath to meet Irvin for a post-birthday celebration dinner at Crystal Jade.
Thursday was 'sisters' day!
Finally met up with Victor; the sister for dinner to catch up with one another.
Liang Lin joined us and we had a gooooooooooooooood long talk from Far East all the way to Grand Cathay where we went to look for Dawnie at Gramophone.
Womanilove couldn't join us because she got to rush home to give tuition. (too bad, if not she could have join in the fun)
Friday was spent at the Zoo with my (*coughs) tall, slim and graceful Goodfriend and Tommy.
Tommy has free complimentary pass to the zoo and he can bring two friends along.
And so, I invited goodfriend along with us (sorry Chloe darling, I was supposed to go with you but I reckon, you will be at work) and I'm glad the both of them could talk so well.
We met at AMK station at around 130pm. Took 138 down to Zoo, settled our lunch at KFC and started on the animal trail. :)
I cannot remember when was the last time I stepped my feet into the Zoo.
Man, when I reached the entrance, I was amazed by how much Zoo has changed over the years.
Finally after soooooooooo long, I had the chance to vist the Zoo once again. (Thanks to Tommy)
Seriously, I'm amazed by how much Zoo has changed.
They have new animal shows now. And the seats are much more cleaner than before.
Settled our dinner at AMK S11 before heading down to Timbre.
Thank goodness goodfriend booked tables if not I think we'll prolly queue till 12 midnight.
And we had very gooooood view. Just directly infront of the stage!!
I still prefer heading to Timbre on a Saturday night. Prolly is because I prefer Goodfellas to 53A.
ALVIN ONG came and joined us at around 9+.
Yes, that's right. ALVIN ONG. I was shocked that he still came down after knowing that TanWeiShan couldn't make it.
It's very weird to have him hanging out with just the both of us! But wells, I'm glad the night went well.
Gosh, I'm still bothered by it.

Sometimes I wonder is it true when people say "when one is in a relationship, he/she tends to leave their friends behind and when the whole relationship comes to an end or when he/she is bored with their partner, they will turn their back back to their friends."How true is this?
Come to think of it, somehow I agree with that statement.
There's people out there whose life is only about them and their partner and they never realised that the friends around them are beginning to drawn away from them while the whole "dating" scene is taking place.
And when this whole dating scene end, they tend to return back to their friends but never do they know that the friendship among their friends are somewhat different from the way it used to be.
Is that really true?
'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' has indeed taught me alot on my personal life.
I've opened my eyes big and come to realise that there are friends out there who really cares about friendship.
No doubt, there are also friends out there who get close to you because of other motives.
I've seen many of these people around and somehow I regretted being so friendly to some particular people.
But then again, God told us to love our enemies and love those around us. But hey, how can you love your enemies? How can you love those who is trying to steal your close friends? How can you love those who once pierced a knife deep into your heart?
I remembered during one of those NDP leadership day camp, we were asked by this pastor on what do we want to improve on ourselves?
If I remembered correctly, I told the pastor "I want to improve my tolerance and compassion for others. I want to try liking people I dislike."
True enough, my tolerance for certain people has improved. Instead of looking at the bad side of the person, I started looking at the good side.
Everyone of us has both bad and good sides. And it's not easy to make someone like you when someone already holds a grudge or is bais against you.
And this is one thing I have to reflect on myself too.
After talking so much about tolerance and all, I know its funny to say this. But, it's not easy to be friends with someone whom you dislike. (once again, I'm not referring to any of my friends)
I have come to a point where my tolerance level has reached the peak of the moutain.
I KEPT QUIET DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T BE BOTHERED!

Birthdays don't seem special to me anymore.I used to look forward for my birthday every year but as time pass, the "look forward to birthday" mood dies.
To me, birthdays are like any other normal days. You lead a normal life, do what you normally do. It's not as big or special as before.
I can't believe I'm officially 23. (wow! Really?) and 23 sounds so old to me.
When I was in my younger days, I used to think that receiving presents from your friends are the most important thing during birthdays. But, as one gets older, I realised that apart from receiving presents from friends, receiving a short simple sweet SMS will actually make one feel contented.
I don't know about the people around me. But for me, I am glad that there are actually people out there who remembers my birthday. And seriously, that is good enough! It shows that I'm someone they did not forget.
It's true, when one gets older, birthdays are not that special anymore.
Thanks to those who sent me sms, wrote on my facebook wall, sent me a testimonial on friendster wishing me happy birthday!
Not forgetting my mum and step-sis calling all the way from India, my sis and bro-in-law, all the way from Taiwan and my uncle + aunt who came in to my room at 12am with a birthday cake, followed by a birthday song.
I'm glad that you people remembered. :)
My birthday this year was all planned by my friends.
I was told by E and F to keep myself free on my birthday itself. I had zero clues on what's going on. And so, after commercial law lecture on Friday, we headed down to the Grand Cathay for dinner together with Serena and her friend; Chloe.
Ivan, Jackson, Jeane and Kenny came soon after.
They brought me to this Japanese restaurant which serves delicious sushi at 99CENTS per plate!!!! We ate till our tummy almost went bonkers.
Then, out a sudden, the boys came in with a chocolate cake.
Thank you so much Fyonne darling for planning the dinner. :)
Terence called and he too came in to the restaurant to join in the fun!
The guys left us for their own plans. The girls went to meet Bee and Cher after dinner. What's so great about AVB? Why is everyone queue-ing to see him?
I think only people who appreciate trance will love him.
Okie, so, anyways, the next plan that the girls planned for me was Phuture!
And I'm touched when they say they wouldn't mind splurging on the entrance because it was my birthday.
It is friends like them that made me feel like I'm on top of the world! :)
Couldn't wake up for law lesson the next day because my head was spinning around.
JefferyThen said I told everyone that we MUST wake up and attend class but when we're on the way home, I told everyone to skip lesson. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER ME SAYING ALL THOSE LA!
Met bestfriend in town. She told me to keep myself free on the 10th and like the previous day, I had ZERO IDEAS on what was going on.
All I know was we are supposed to meet and have dinner together.
As we entered Paragon Spagaddies, I got a shocked! There were three men in black sitting at the restaurant waiting for us.
It was a surprise birthday dinner planned by DawnTan! Thank you soooo much bestfriend!
Man, come to think of it, I've known this girl here for a decade already.
Walked down to Heeren and shuling surprised me with a birthday cake!!
Thank you so much babe for rushing down after your exam! :)
What more can I ask for? I'm truly blessed with wonderful friends and of cos family.
