like, finally!!!!!!! okie lar, i noe there are ppl still having exams now actually, but considering how i onli haf 2 papers and i end on 3rd, 6th still sound pretty late to me haha...

anyway! tat was oso the day when i ended all my tuitions! for GOOD. (except for one, which i'm goin to try to continue teaching even when i start work, to fund my pretty pretty clothes and shoes and bags. wahahha)

anyway, we went to the Jap restaurant place at Raffles Shopping Centre called Shokudo! it has the same concept as Marche, except all the food inside is Jap-style (duh!).




i like their decor! it's pretty pretty pretty and kinda zen-ish too.

we went at near 9pm on a weekday, so there werent many ppl there, which is good coz the food gets ready really fast den!




we spent abt $25 per person and it's so worth it can! the food is how good, and despite them looking like they cant even fill one person's stomach, we were both damn bloated aft the meal.

wah lao looking at the photos make me hungry lar...

we watched IRON MAN! i think everyone has raved enuff abt it, so i'm not goin to do it again. bottomline: WATCH IT!

i love marvel movies coz they're action packed, and yet not overdoing it, coz they always have a dash of humor and a dash of romance all thrown in together, coz their plot is always fantastic.

so this is no exception =)
and according to lester, the marvel geek (hee), this is the best marvel movie he has watched. so u all better watch it. hahaha...

we took a walk around esplanade. have i ever mentioned how much i love tat place, and how beautiful i always think it is? it looked even more beautiful at nite without ppl crowding tat place and polluting it with their cigarettes.



okie, i noe my eye bags are huge and supadupa obvious. i'm goin to buy tat bioessence eyelift or watever it's called. SOON.

we went ard wanting to find a place to drink to celeb his end of exams, but even Harry's at esplanade was sooooo quiet. i haven been out on a weekday nite till so late for a long time, i almost forgot there's no nite life during weekdays.

anyway we finally found Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe still open at 1plus am! lifesaver.




it's soooo humongous and sooo nice! it was nicer den i tot it'll be =)

the whole cafe was nearly empty by the time we finish tat tower. we started taking stoopid photos and lookin really idiotic coz some of the waiters were starin at us -_-







and he said my eyes are so small and i look so tired and haggard. so here u go.




went back to his hall and planned our melbourne trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm flying in exactly 19hrs and 30mins!

and guess wat! i'm taking SIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wah lao, it's a big deal to me can. i've always wanted to take SIA since i was young, and i onli managed to do so now, at age 22. and my frens are all callin me sua gu... -_-

and nope, me and les are not rich. we're poor as paupers. but somehow at the time when we were goin to book the air tix (which was really late, we booked during reading week), SIA came up with this superb promotion where each tix to melbourne cost S$1000 nett to and fro.

and THAT makes it the cheapest airflight to melbourne, yes cheaper den Quantas. and yes cheaper den if we had booked during Natas. so yay!

and it's flying off fr terminal 3! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! i've nvr been there either.



KBOX-ing today with siyong and gang at clementi. i haven been to Ktv since eons eons ago. i dun even noe any of the new songs tat came out lor. -_-

we photowhored alot aft i took out my camera, which was a mistake. coz wilson THAM wei zheng cant STOP playing with it, and taking zi lian photos. wahahha...




and more photos...




den they started playing with the "Smile Shutter" function in my camera. how it works is, u juz had to activate it. and everytime someone smiles to the lens, it'll automatically snap a shot of the person WITHOUT having to press ANY button.

i tot it was an old technology alr... but they so sua gu like nvr see before liddat haha...




the whole ktv session was so funny i had no voice at the end of it. coz i laughed too much -_-




AH YONG! organise cycling when i come back! yaaays! =))



and i can tell you, tat i'm more more upset den i look, and i'm more more upset den i let on.

school life gave me so much, and i'm not talking abt academically. i'm talking abt emotionally and mentally. it helped me grow, it taught me so much more stuff outside the classroom. it brought all these wonderful frens to me. it brought lester to me. and i've experienced soooo much from schooling.

i think i missed it so much becoz i've done so much non-academic related stuff, and those are the stuff i'm missing and will miss alot.

i feel kinda disconnected now. it's like suddenly i'm being thrown into a new life tat i dun even noe how to begin. i dun really noe how to explain it, but it's sort of like a disorientated kinda feeling.

i see some frens hopping and jumping for joy the moment they're no longer a student, coz they cant wait to go out and work. and seriously, i cant really relate to tat kind of joy. u noe how some ppl say, u'll really noe how to live when u start work, coz den u can plan everything in ur life and how u wan it to be like.

but to me, i've learnt how to live when i was schooling.

CCAs taught me alot, be it in sec sch or JC, and esp in Uni. I've organised a camp for guides, campfires, taken part in numerous of them in other sec schs and tried tgt with my frens to be the most enthu company there so tat we can win the "most supportive company", i've participated in sch dance competitions, won it and performed with my class for Teachers' Day. i've organised a bash, an orientation camp, an orientation week, a big scale bazaar, a Rag-n-Flag and a pageant. I've been to USA, and lived and worked there for 3 full months, with no strings attached, but holding onto the sole purpose of juz experiencing life outside my comfort zone, living life independently and tryin to integrate into the social circle of the Americans.

will you be able to do all those when u start work?

i dun think so.

as wonderful as they are, sometimes it's hard to let go. esp when u noe u'll NEVER EVER get those days back (unless, of coz, i find some mystical pill tat allows me to go back in time when i swallow it).

but AT LEAST i have those memories. and i'm glad i do. becoz it's so easy to juz be aloof and heck care and lazy, and juz not take part in all these and not have to try to make new frens everytime u get into a new comm, but study all day and all night. and i'm glad, i didnt choose the easy way out.

who says CCAs are not impt?

i say they are the most impt thing in my whole schooling life. and they make who i am today, tgt with the frens that i make thru them. and as much as some ppl think CCAs are useless in finding a job, and tat employers onli look at degree, well, i found mine thru CCAs only (coz my grades are like how CUI).

and tat kinda summarised my 16 years of school life.



on a sidenote! i'm flying off to melbourne on 9th may 2008! which is EXACTLY 1 year after the day we flew off to USA (9th May 2007!).

gosh. i damn freaking miss USA. i damn freaking miss it.
