Dissertation's over...!!!!! But it left me drained out totally.... I was so reluctant to power on my lappy after my submission....

Oh ya... talking about the submission, i submitted my report late by a day, and accordingly to the handbook, for late submission, the student will be PENALIZED HEAVILY...!!!! Sad to say, i jolly well know that, yet...... Haiz... Morale drop to dead zero....!

There was 1 incident i MUST write down..! To remind myself of the silly mistake and stop being so careless...!!!

Just 2 days before my deadline, i was struggling to complete my report, I was at Chpt 4 then (in total we needed to prepare 5 chapters for that report), and I needed to do cross referencing using my Chpt 3. Thus I was switching between one to another until I decided to move on to Chpt 5, so to save the trouble to create another format, I overwrite Chpt 3 and wanted to save as Chpt 5. However, my hand worked faster than my mind….!!!!

I pressed Ctrl S instead of using the Save As function, and the worst was I actually closed that file straight after. I knew something was so not right, but…. everything was just too late…. There was NO WAYS I could retrieve back my file, I really felt like crying then….. Piggy wasn’t there, my brothers couldn’t help, nobody I could think of that can help, I was left alone…

I called my dear dear…. He encouraged me not to give up, comforted me, gave me morale support and told me, "No point crying over spilled milk, you still gotta do, take a deep breath and start again…" It sound so easy, but I really had to push myself hard, had to pick up my emotions and readjust my attitude….. Easier said than to be done…..

But what actually touches me most is…….



My Piggy Dear Dear actually brought me supplements to keep me going…. Heehee… so touched…! He even brought 2 different favours for me....



But no matter what happen, i know my piggy dear dear would stand by me....

Suppose to upload these pictures some time ago... but was lazy...

Went to Dragonfly on 30/June to celebrate John's birthday in advance.... I can't really remember when was the last time i went clubbing.... might have been 6 months or more....

John wanted to try some live band music... so there we were...

DF was so packed, not even a single standing space was available....!

So... we resorted to Mono, the KTV pub above it...

Ambience is good... thou can't expect anything about the music... But overall... i enjoyed myself...

22-June-2007

Organized a mini Choco Fondue cum dinner session at Manda's house...

From preparation to tugged-in session, to giggles and laughing and finale... its sure lots of fun..!

Less wordy today.. let's look at the pictures....


Ladies in action... the ladies making necessary preparation for the food...

Sad to say, all 4 of us make lousy cook... heehee....
Want to know how bad we are? See below...


"Ehh.. u only have this type of peeler ah..?"

"Err... then which other types are u referring to?"

"Heehee... i only know how to use the flat rectangle types..."

"err...pai sei leh... i only have this type leh.."

"Oh no... the oil seems like insufficient leh... how huh...?" (kind Mr Handsome volunteered to go buy)

"We try to use the pans to fry the food first ba...but no frying pans here wor..." (still kaykia proceed to use cooking pans to fry the CP chicken -_-'")

"Ehh... (fried chicken) this colour look cooked liao hor...?"

"hmm... i think cook a little longer better lah..."

"Actually these food are all cooked, i think... "

Haiz.... we sound really bad rite.... will try to learn to be a better housewife in future... heehee...


Look at the table of food... CP chicken wings, CP fried chicken, sotong balls, wedges, kiwi, mango, banana, pokey, mini croissants, rice cracker, cherries, strawberries, etc...

But some of the portion are quite small, the reason behind is bcos they failed the appearance test in the kitchen, so... therefore were kept storage in our stomach liao... heehee....

Gathering with my PRIMARY SCHOOL mates....

Back dated post again....

15-Jun-2007

Primary School mates gathering...!

Come to think of it, we have been together for more nearly 2 decades... Wow... that's a long time...
We met at Causeway Point (at the convenience of Weiyi, cos got 2 kids liao.. very difficult to find excuses to sneak out) for a simple dinner and some chill out and catch up. Only Shemie and me are working, Shuhui was having her school holiday then, and Weiyi, a full-time devoted mummy and housewife....

We had dinner at 店小二 that night, that is my 1st..! They are famous for their ducks... roasted duck with herbal... din take photo on the food... was busy entertaining Weiyi's 2nd prince and "slurp slurp" galloping down the food... Cos the kid had eaten his meal and he was bored seeing us chat, eat and laughing away... All he can do is to seek our attention.... So no choice... he was the highlight for the night... heehee... Took tons of photo on him...

Here they go...


Prince Jovan in the restaurant...

Proceeded to Gelare Cafe for our lengthened chats and updates, and not forgetting the yummlious dessert...


Our waffle with 3 scoops of ice-cream..!
Rich in taste and smooth in the texture... *drool...


I want I want...! Where is my ice-cream...!!!


Throw tantrum after not getting what he wants... Haiz... boys... (for those who know me, u will understand)


More of him.... Trying every chance to take his smiling face... Tough task...!

Finally, after coaxing him with toys, ice-cream, funny faces, etc...

Me... after a enjoyable dinner with the ladies and the kid...

My present from Dear Dear...!

Just wanna share....



Thursday, May 24, 2007

Had my exam last Friday... but it doesn't mean that i can relax, cos 3 more assignments deadline draw straight after the exam.

Saw the new the other day saying the rate of getting chicken pox is very much higher than other months, and the reason is due to the examination period. I truely agree to this report...! Your body immue system drops when your level of stress increases..! During the past few weeks, i am popping pills or under medication on most of the days...

Long hours of concentration and focusing, with the minimum amount of sleep has had made me so restless. On average, i only sleet less than 4 hours per day... no wonder immue system fails me... haiz...

Hope this will be over and with soon....

There are practically 2 songs that i am in love with now....

I have no special preference for whoever the singer is, i just like the style of these songs... There they go...


张韶涵 - 不痛

S.H.E - 中国话

Heard a very shocking news during work today...

A colleague's uncle passed away this morning in the wee hour, due to heart attack.

We came to know about him 4 yrs ago during our company D&D, he attended as a partner of our colleague, however from then onwards, his position changed from a guest to our annual dinner photographer... He is a very nice person, very humble, like to smile alot, love take pictures and a man of very little words...

This is my favorite picture he ever took of me... I love this photo so so much... it really ache my heart when i came to think that he is gone... gone forever...


Friday, May 04, 2007

Opps..! I think i am lack of updates... been really tired these days... Let's have a quick update...

First, i must thanks my dear dear for taking good care of me when i was down with a fever then...

Constantly checking on my temperature, changing cold towels, and checking if i had feel better... Without his tender care, i wun have a speedy recovery and all well for my presentation...!

A Big hug just for YOU...!

25-Apr-2007
Presentation Day....

Hmm... how should i put it..? I can conclude that the presentation was a great success, no hippups along the way... the whole group done pretty well i should say.... (cos at the end of the presentation, we were praised by the lecturer.. heehee...)

Good work guys..!

27-May-2007
There we go again... Prawning...

This time we switch to a new location... as both of us never tried the Lakeside Pool before, so that night we decided to give it a shot....

This time round, patience with skills was really needed... there is certain difficulties in fishing the prawns there... Quite tricky.... there are many spots that bubbled in the pond, so the feel of the rod must be extra sensitive... too many a time false alarm were sensed at end of the rod... Both of us were a little disappointed with the catch...

We wen back with only 10 prawns...

Monday, April 23, 2007

Feeling so weak...

Assignment dates are pushing nearer and nearer, but i am sick here....


Hopefully can recover before 25/Apr cos there is a presentation that day...

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Last night then i realised that the news on the death of the Coastal Guard few days ago was one of my poly classmate.

It was rather shocking...!

Life is really unpredictable. You won't know when your time will be up...

So in order not to live in any regrets, PLEASE go ahead with things that you want to do, things that you are still hesitating, things that you regretted not trying... just do whatever you wish to do that are on your mind now...

Life is miserable enough, almost all human beings live more than 1/2 their life making ends meet, how many regret that they miss out too many things in life?

Thou it is hard, still... fulfil it with passion, enjoy the process... Don't wait till one day when everything is too late...

From now, i must set my targets, work hard to meet them, no matter how...!

Monday, April 16, 2007

Us on the bike ready to set off to.... PRAWNING again....

Friday night, only 2 of us... the urge of prawning came knocking at the door agian....

That night we caught 39 prawns, our scores are improving ever since we started this activity. Piggy got so delighted, he decided to get himself a personal ROD...! It wasn't as expensive as we thought... $35 for the rod, hooks and fishing line, came in a set.... Now my Piggy wanna act like a professional liao... heehee....

Then we head home with our fruitful catch and Piggy started preparing for a Prawn Feast...!


When they were still alive and swimming....


Preparation in progress...

Ouch... Legless prawns...


Steam Prawns


Sweet and Sour Prawns


My Seafood Noodle

15/Apr 2007
Sunday.... should be a lazy day for everyone, but not for me... Got to wake up at 7.00am in the morning (just like another working day), and get ready for dissertation class....

Was a little late, the lecturer already started class.... The lecture was actually quite interesting, but was a bit too restless to pay attention... But this lesson taught us alot and was very informative, extremely useful for our dissertation.


After class end around 5.00pm, went to have a free make over.... The result was as pleasing as i thought it will be... or perhaps, i purposely didn't do a good job... Cos i knew ultimately i got to pay for the photo if all turn out so appealing... heehee... i also confused what was i thinking then...

Everything end at 9.00pm... can't wait to go back, was getting annoyed when the sale person
kept pushing for sale....

Guess what... Prawning last weekend again.... heehee...

My Piggy got so hooked on this new activity, when nothing to do, first thing that comes into mind is Prawning! Am i right Dear? But he wasn't any MCP guy, he would accompany me for shows or other significant activities if i wished to. ;)

Actually, i did love to prawn too... the satisfaction when you saw your catch...! Heehee...

Been a busy holiday for me...

Was out on Thursday nite to catch a movie, then stay home on Friday to do my presentation slides and script, thought need them the next day. Cos initial information was that we were supposed to have our meeting on Sat, but last minute it was postponed.

But we didn't go anywhere either, stayed home the whole day till after dinner, we went Prawning...! Since the slides were more or less prepared, so i went relax myself. We had 'form' that night, 2 of us with only 1 rod, we caught 20 prawns! I think we are very great liao...! Heehee...


The only picture i took for the whole night...! My 6 BBQ prawns...!

We bbq 6 prawns, cos only me wanna eat... so we brought the balance home. Piggy placed them in a big pail once reached home and suprisingly 14 of them were still swimming and crawling...! Heehee... excited..! 2 dumb dumb just sat there and watched them for almost an hour..!

We were in a dilemma, to keep or to cook them... Ultimately, Piggy took out the scissor and started cutting the feelers. Arrrhhh... so painful to see the process... Very 'zhe er'... but very fresh and delicious... heehee... Sorry, i am a carnivore, can't live a day without meat..! But the main reason that they are so yummilicious is because it was Dear's Mum who cooked for us..! Superb culinary...! Heehee...

Got to get up at 10am the following morning, went shop with Piggy, had lunch together, then proceeded to PUNGGOL
for meeting... A long way indeed...! By the time meeting end, i was famished..!

Piggy was tired and hungry too... We joined his friend for dinner at one of the resturant in Singapore Poly. We had Curry Fish Head, Sweet Sour Pork and Kai Lan, were too hungry and forgotten to take any pictures... Heehee...

That's my weekend. Ok, that's all for now...

Baby Shower

Went to David's Baby Shower this afternoon...

He has a baby boy. Gong Xi Gong Xi wor~

When we reached there, his baby still woke up to greet us.. heehee... You might not know, new born babies sleep almost 23 hours per day, they only wake up to drink milk, change diapers and bath, other than that, they will be in their dreamland...

Today was also a chance for Piggy and friends gathering, haven't been orgainizing meet up after CNY, so as they were saying, it has been a trend of getting married, getting house and buying cars among their group and now having babies...! Haha... most of them got terrified of such commitment...

Me think the same too, cos if you are unable to provide a comfortable life for yourself, do not bring another life out to suffer with you... such things need planning, consideration and serious calculation...!

"Its tiring enough to live a better day yourself, why want to make yourself live even harder just to let end meet...?" Hmm... so i would encourage people out there to get yourself prepared before such commitment...

Prawning Again....

30-Mar-2007
Recently my Piggy got hooked on prawning...! We went prawning last friday with few of his friends...

We secretly smuggled some self prepared baits, prawn meat and pig liver. He did a quick research that day to find out what bait catches the prawn most, really into it man...! No need to say more, just look at the pictures.


Excited Dear Dear..

The man~ Man @ work...

He met a friend there, can so call an expert, he himself had caught more than 20 prawns alone...!!!! So Piggy won't let go the chance to steal a few techniques... Heehee...

Believe it or not, after the correction, Piggy got over 10 prawns that night..!
Some tips to share:
1. The bait is to place somewhere near the tip of the hook, its a NO NO to slide it to the middle. 2. Move the rod slowly across the pond to scan for prawns.
3. Once you feel the prawns biting your bait, stop and wait for the prawn to eat your bait.
4. Slowly pull your rod till the fishing line is a bit tighted.
5. Once the tension is there, pull up the prawn will 1 quick move.
Ta-Dah~ See the results...!

Our loot...

See the big fat one? Best proof of the night...!

Our supper~

That was a tiring night, cos we prawn till 6am in the moring...! Piggy was reluctant to go back, still not satisfied with his catch~

But i am contended, can tell? heehee...

31-Mar-2007
Guess what~ prawning again loh...
Piggy believed strongly that today he would get more prawns then yesterday...! I wanted to try out a new location, the Lakside pond, so we decided to relax ourself and enjoy some drinks, so we took a cab down...

But that place is a little disappointing..
1. There are only 3 prawn ponds.
2. 2 small ponds, 1 slighly bigger as compare to jurong bird park ones, big difference...
3. Less spacious and more crowded.

Therefore, we proceed back to our all time favorite.
But we were out of luck, only managed to get 9 prawns... i forgotten to take photo of our catch...

Serious man at work, trying his luck...
