<< I am Back >>

I was back from my 4D3N bangkok trip yest night.
The flight was delayed for an hour. * mutter
Poor Mum and Dad hv to wait for me for so long.
I bought packs of Tiger at the airport for my Dad and he was appeased. Haa.

This is my second time to bangkok.
The first time I went was purely shopping, shopping and more shopping.
This time round I went for some sight seeing and some new shopping places.
I din shop much for myself even tho the things there are very cheap cos I duno what to buy also.
I was busy shopping for souvenirs for frens.
Grand Palace is a must-visit places of interest.
The magnificent view would have sweep you off your feet.
I went for authentic thai foot massage too. Hv been longing to try foot massage.
I expect it to be very painful but it was not at all.
Its only when you feel the pain then you will feel that your money is well spent.

Guess what I saw Tiki at Sumo Restaurant.
When I walked past that restaurant, I was searching hard for the gal who dress in the smart black uniform.
I comb the whole restaurant but din see her at all.
I even look out for gals who tied up their hair.
But when I walked past the restaurant again near closing time, I saw her at the counter!!
Her uniform has changed to a red tee shirt.
But she is still the same the first time I saw her.
I think I got blushed. Haa. But I din went up to say hi to her.
I guess she must hv forgotten abt the stranger who so eager to take photo with her and even gave her a rose.
Anyway I am happy to see her again and I hv learnt a new term 'Andro' from Tiff.

So tired. I slept for less than 5 hrs for the 3 days.
I hope the photos doesnt show my dark circles and eye bag.
Its impt to bring a concealer and herbal tea when travelling!
Gotta get some sleep before setting off for another trip.
Dear Tiff, dun forget abt our sentosa trip k. Miss ya.

<< Excited >>

My computer has discharged from the hospital. Sayang~
I promise I will take xtra good care of my com from now on.
And the most important thing to hv backup for my impt files!

Starting to countdown..3 more DAYS to bangkok.
OMG. I am super excited!!! The mention of Tiki makes me even more excited! I cant wait to see her.
I cant believe the 5 of us are finally flying together.
I can almost envision us having the fun of our life over there wherever we go and saying cheeze til our jaw ache.
We planned this trip since last year xmas. We finally make an effort to make it come true.
Fruit plate or plate of fruits? Anybody wana bet?? Winner will either bring the plate home or eat finish the fruits at one go. Haha.
But one thing that I dun like abt bangkok is their polluted air plus super hot weather.
The air is so polluted that ur white top will hv dust and dirt on it when you are back from outdoor shopping.
Other than that, everything is perfect to me.

Away to bangkok from 24/6 to 27/6.
Away to Redang from 29/6 to 3/7.
Shiok~ It feels like I am transiting in Spore from 27th to 29th before setting off to another country.

But the period I am away clash with my subj reg date and FYP(final year proj) selection date.
I hv found someone who volunteer to help me reg subj but I dont feel secure about it.
What if the reg is not successful how is she going to contact me?
I am so stressed about my timetable planning for next sem. [The Final Lap]
All these hv to settle by this fri. Rushing to get it done now..

I want to change my hp badly.
The 2 years contract seems like 20years.
There is sth wrong with my hp.
Besides, Samsung is not user friendly.
Sometimes I can get irritated when msging to the point of slamming my hp on the floor.
Nokia is still the best at least its user friendly. Thats the first in my priority list.
But I dun mind using other brands or using back Samsung as long as I can change my hp.
The technology of hp has become so advanced and I am still using an antique phone.
I am so far behind time. A com idiot like me will nv catch up with technology.
I will get it change when I am back from my trip.

And oso my hair. Its time to change to change a new hairstyle.

And oh ya, itiz true that renewing library books cost 50cents??
Since when such law is implement? Am I behind time again? Opps.

<< Bad Day >>

I cant believe this. My computer is spoilt AGAIN. What the..
This is the 4th time I think. And yes, all my files and photos will be gone. *Mad
I am so embarrased to send my computer for Moo's dad to repair.
Did i break your dad record for being the most regular customer of the year?
Dear Computer, I wish you can talk and tell me where you are not feeling well before you get so seriously ill and fall into a deep coma.

I just finish my Accounting paper. Omg it really sucks!
Lesson learnt: Never take business mod during the intersem cos you will never hv the mood to study for it.
Anyway I am not left with much intersem period. Guess this is the last one.
Next year during this time, I will be going for my graduating trip. No more taking of intersem.
Time really flies. I am already in my fourth year.
I still rem the time when I am still a freshie and all the freshmen orientation and camp. Yucks I hate camp cos I dun like to get dirty.And I always get lost in ntu. I still do ocassionally.
Though I do not have a very active life in campus, I am glad I still managed to make some worthy frens in ntu.
I am eager to know what my future will be like in 5 years time.

I had a really bad day yesterday.
It was not a fight, not an argument or a scolding. It was an emotional struggle.
After all these years I thought I hv become more matured and my relationship with him has changed for the better.
Unfortunately it didnt. Or maybe it never will.
I thought I am rebellious enough to fight back but I just turn soft and let emotions take over me.
Over the 22 years of my life, I have been building walls and barriers against him instead of bridges.

Am I the one at fault? I find ways to connect with him but end up building more walls.
Bad and unpleasant memories flooded my mind the whole night.
The harder I try to forget it or erase it, the more it resurface.

I need a getaway badly. Escape to a quiet and peaceful place alone to sort out my thoughts.
Sometimes I feel that its good to hv a religion. Cos some things only god can help. I hope God hear my prayers.

<< 06.06.06 >>

The nickname Sotong really suit me.
I remindered myself to bring jacket to sch by placing it in a prominent place but yet I can still forget to take. And it rained heavily today.
Serve me right for that.

My exam results are out since yesterday evening!!
I hv cleared all my subjects and promoted to Year 4.
And its the 'best grades' that I ever have in my ntu life.
I got BB+BBCBB-B+.
I was speechless when I saw my grades.
Not becos I did well for it.
It is becos the sch moderate the marks too much! (Got notice the word 'best grades').
Getting a B for a subj means that you know the subject quite well but my grades do not tally with the knowledge I hv for the subjects.
Anyway I hv made it thro and why am I still complaining here?

I have enough of movies! I surrender.
Poisedon.
Da Vinci.
X-men 3.
The Omen.
I am not a movie freak and I really dun like to watch movie.
But I duno why I keep watching movie now until I am so sick of it.
I will not step into the cinema for the next 3 months.

<< Travelling tips >>

Met up with Mr Lum, my jc economics teacher.
We chatted from 12 to 6pm and I always feel inspired after hearing him talked.

I have never thought that we will be that close.
I used to hate him during junior college becoz I dun like economics.
I can still rem how he suan me during lesson and I was given the title 'public enemy' by him!

We had lunch, coffee, cakes at this place Sha Villa.
It is a 3 star hotel which hire students from shatec.
There is a restaurant named Rosette which provides really excellent service which is comparable to a 5 stars hotel. The food is nice too.
And surprisingly the food is not that expensive as I thought it would be given their excellent service.
Highly recommended it to u guys! It is at 64 Lloyd Road.

I always wonder how money changer make money by exchanging currency notes.
He is the best person to ask and really learn alot of things from him.
And this topic leads to overseas travelling.


Here are some of the useful tips given him:

1. Never use your credit card when travelling. It is not safe and you will be charged higher when converted back to singapore currency.
2. Record the reference number of your credit card somewhere in case you lose your wallet. Take note of the last three number too at the back of your credit card where your signature is.
3. If you are carrying alot of currency notes with you, put it into a zip lock plastic bag and slip in under ur feet. A robber will never expect you to hide your money there. (omg he really did that!)
4. Never rush during the rush hour.
5. Never open your mouth to speak in a different language country esp in crowded place.
6. Money changer recommend: Go to OG chinatown, walk thro the OG and you will see a hawker centre. Turn left and you will see a money changer at a corner. Thats the one.
7. Avoid going to the money exchanger on friday afternoon. The exchange rate is lower.
