Very own Amazing race on tues.
We didnt screwed it up.cx!haha."well done buddy!"...
I'm sure we do feel happy abt it when everyone's enjoying it..
except the printings?haha..but we tried our best.doing all we can..
sacrifising a few endless nights to modify the amazing,cracking our brains with new ideas while handling with our other commitments..
i won't say that it's the best race ever but i'm sure it's pretty well organised looking at the thousands limitations we had to obliged to..
cant disclosed the children's photo. so here u go.me and cx trying to act dao?i noe it's kinda unsuccessful.we dont look gangster enough!watched kf panda for the 2nd time!with the kids..this was my first time gg for a movie for twice.
it's nice but it won't be as exciting if u know the whats gonna happen next.u won't be anticipating for any surprise..
so i slept..for abt half the movie ba.the cineplex was filled with the children laughters throughout the movie..esp. when Po gets two bowls on his chest..(as expected haha)
i'm glad we end it well and this kinda marks the end of wat we promised to give..
'hey why did we leave our stuff there?'my uni stuff and cx barang barang...it was a pretty late realisation.i guess we are more concern about our p**.haiz we are not asking for sth more rite? i'm pretty tired fighting for it.but i should cling on to it tightly since it's rightfully ours.let's hope for the best.
Went for a movie with se today.it's a award winning dutch movie.hrm..it's a nice movie if u are liberal enough?the plot is based on a true story in holland during the WW2..it's pretty nicely filmed but the rating is crap..it's not suppose to be M18..i felt pretty scared watching it..
anyways,
This is a reminder for myself regarding the things that i gotta settle before 24june.
I need to settle my passport photo for submission,
my hostel application,
my driving lessons,
my tuition slots,
my medical checkup for ntu,
my salary,
my taipei trip.

Father's day dinner. with a little spice to it..
as u all know today's father's day!i went out with my maternal family for a dinner at 渔村 located in the seafood centre at ecp.
I believed many have been there before ba.It's the stretch of restauurants known for their crabssss.The restaurants there are of centain standard so it doesnt really matter where u choose to eat in the end.In this case, u can probably wish to check out the prices and discounts that are applicable to u to get the best prices =) as good food comes with a price to pay.
My favourites are their chilli crabs with fried 馒头 and their butter (milk)crabs, they're irresistable!Every single table orders at least a dish consisting of crab.(the crab is playing such an important role to all)
My dedication to the crabss: I can't live without you by Mariag Carey
took a few snapshots on what everyone's doing while waiting for the dishes.here it is.....
my bros popping peanuts aft peanuts ...
my grandpa popping peanuts too and my mum followed soon after that...all the hungry ghosts that u saw are real!...we ate a lot of peanuts....haha
my aunt took a photo of me and my cousins.")
we are all pretty shy..lol.opps! the guys are excluded haha...girl's power!dad took a photo me along the beach...
there's an end to all...
gonna blog about my cd rack next time...pretty tired now...hamster saying byeee...Posted by quesvilla at 1:30 AM

Our first outing..
I didnt expect our first outing to be 4 days after our camp?PETRELLI! it seems that we miss each other a lot!haha..jus joking..since most of us are not wking, we went just to chill out and perhaps know each other better =)First, we went to the mindscafe at clarkquay for some excitement and gaming. It spend us some time to figure out it's exact location..
The place was filled with laughter like nobody's business..
We were kinda surprised initially but soon blended in with them perfectly..
I've realised that I'm pretty bad at the coodination games..kinda pulled down my teammate performance as I'm pretty slow at reacting.(as everyone knows)
but when it's comes to pictionary and word guessing I'm much better in it..
but my favourite is still strategic games..
I sld give some commendation to their services...
the waiter that served us was really outspoken and entertaining...I have a great impression of him..he speaks like the 'someone' in my class!haha
anyway there were several jokes of the day.someone called PS as SP,invented a new shopping mall called the Great Wall city and etc..I sld'nt elaborate more haha..It's pretty relieved to realise that it's not always me who made these silly mistakes haha..
went on for my very first pepper lunch @ central..and proceed watching Kungfu Panda at PS.
I can't stop laughing while watching...
师傅: Po(panda) must be an accident.
乌龟master: there's no accident.
乌龟master consoled Po when he was feeling remorseful: ytd is a history, tmr is a mystery and today....it's a GiFT! that's y it's called present.
it's mainly the expressions and action of Po that made us burst into laughter..a nice fuse of chinese culture and element into disney production..
like some has said.it kinda reminded us of Mulan..
last but not least.I LOVE the Theme song...Everybody loves Kunfu fighting..HEE! HAA!(fighting sounds)...
I'm sure u all will love it.go catch it if u haven!....Kungfu fighting!...

Sakae buffet..filling
A last minute decision to go for high-tea buffet at pp sakae.we ordered quite alot though we were'nt sure if we were able to finish it..
these were just some of the starters we had...
they gave me extra handrolls which i didnt order..the beancurd that I ordered ended up to be accompanied with the udon.it was such a big bowl of udon! obviously i didnt finish it..
I put it aside and continued drinking my miso soup and eating the steaming hot chawamushi.I ate at least 5 to 6 plate of sushi cum fried foods...I was pretty much full to the brim after that...haha..
After reaching the max.capacity that my stomach cld 'accomodate', the Mochi icecream were not as appealing and satisfying as it does...(I guess nothing tastes good with a full stomach..)haha...such a waste to have eaten it with a full stomach!
We were told that the fruits were out of stock. it's sounds pretty unconvincing to us though as each bento set in the ala carte menu comes with a fruit!the kitchen sld by right or at least stock up their fruit supplies for 2 to 3 days of the restaurant comsumption?it's sound really ridiculous for sakae to go out of fruits...lol
me cheering at my food!
me and hsin mei.with some lotteries in her hands..Subsequently, I went to MP library to check if 'The alchemist' is available for borrowing.Apparently it's not availabe at any libraries yet.
However,surprisingly, the malay version are available in the bedok library.
quick! I'm waiting for the english version..
I realised that the series of paulo ceolho books are all on loan or reserved..
This implies that many are interested in his books just like I do.. haha

petrelli. my identity for that moment.
I sld'nt elaborate the details for the camp...
but i'm really grateful to make a new bunch of friends from petrelli.
thanks all who had helped me in one way or another during the course of the camp.esp. my bgl and facilitators.
I've pretty much developed a sense of belonging to 'the blue hall' but I had to constantly remind myself that theres abosolutely no way I could stay there.
as the fact is I'm not gg to study in nus.
it's a complicated feeling that none wld ever wish to experience...haha
This goes repeating in my mind..
'what's my identity? a crusher from ntu.'haha
told a few gals during the camp that i'm not staying in nus as I was feeling really guilty..
I was pretty surprised to realise that don's is heading to the same uni and course as I am after the 'confession' during our supper on the 2nd night.(so it adds up to 2 of us)I didnt really know wat to say.I was pretty short of words.stuttered at a few instances...
nevertheless I received the best wishes from my fellow campmates and I'm sure we wld celebrate our camp anniversaries jus like what the previous batch of camp blue blooder have done. =)..
although we arent the most enthu bluebloodgrp in terms of cheering or games if we do compare to the others.haha.but we have indeed foster the strongest bonds and friendships among Petrellians.just in 3 days. that's more then enough.
the winner of the camp was so insignificant that it wasnt annoounced at the end?...(at least I didnt hear it and no grps did cheer abt it)
so the ultimate aim of the camp was achieved...(highlighted in blue)
and finally 3cheers for per per per petrelli!
let's hope we will really meet up soon...
I was all drenched out aft the camp but it was all worth it...=)
quoted from my bgl, 'lunch?'..haha it sound so heartwarming for some reason...
anyway there's another fellow with the same birthday as me..i do c some similarities in us.we are all good ppl..it sounds pretty ambigious though.haha

bottle tree park??
hrm im not exactly sure wat the place is called...but they are known for their biggest bottle tree park in singapore.
it doesnt literally means bottle hanging on trees.hahabut rather it's just a species known as Brachychiton Rupestris which are native to south-west Queensland in Australia.and there's 4 of them house in the bottle tree village.
shape of a bottle?
we were there to catch really small fishes and prawns from two separate ponds which adds up to the size of a basketball court.(it's pretty small to what i thought it would be.lol.)...so, as me and cx didnt pay for the small fish tank and the mini fish net.we didnt do much fishing..
guess what we did?
cleaning, poking satay sticks through live prawns...err it's something that im doing for the first time and would not prob wish to do it again if i have the choice to..lol
i must say that the prawns have strong wills to keep themselves alive!they are fighting hard,struggling to keep themselves away from their predator(us)...but they failed..
However, due to their strong fighting spirit, i was sacrifised.got a few cut from them and i was really pissed!with prawns for the first time.
I felt really cruel putting them on a heater.but its a life cycle.prawn eats poo.human eats prawn..so its fine rite?since it's just a natural cycle it makes me feel less guilty abt it.haha.
so they were all laid on the dining table.the prawn looked really big.but they shrank significantly aft i peeled off the shell.sad.tini wini prawns!me and cx had a hard time,peeling the shells of all the prawns.nowadays children are pretty spoilt.most of them have never peeled a prawn before.haha.
had some well-deserved prawns aft all the mess and work.they were chewy and crunchy!so much nicer than the bread pls..
thats all abt the excursion in brief.
i've been really troubled abt the kr camp tmr.it's really lame to go for their camp when im not even gonna stay in their hostel, not even in nus!haven packed my stuff.haven checked if i've got everything.not looking forward to it.wondering if i will even enjoy it.i doubt anyone who's in ntu would actually go for the camp tmr.but it's a consolation that at least yj is gg..oh my goodness! i dont feel excited at all...what is this!...so nonsense..

The Alchemist..
'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho was the first novel that I picked up shortly after strolling into PPborders. the short intro at the back of the novel catches my interest and curiosity.. it was the first ever fiction book that i have an urge to read on...Carrying it in my arms, i went looking for a seat instinctively...
'The novel tells the tale of Santiago, a boy who has a dream and the courage to follow it. After listening to "the signs" the boy ventures in his personal, Ulysses-like journey of exploration and self-discovery, symbolically searching for a hidden treasure located near the pyramids in Egypt...'
'the greatest lie in the world is that at some point we lose the ability to control our lives, and become the pawns of fate. '
It's an exciting novel that bursts with optimism and tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen...
dreams are meant for us to fulfil, whether a dream does come true depends entirely on us...
It came to my realisation that at some point of life, we do overwhelmed ourselves with pessimism...
More than often, we are afraid of making the first step of realising our dreams due to our fear of failure and disappointment. Without the courage to follow our dreams, we end up living lifes of void...that's when life becomes meaningless ..
read till pg44.to be continued...

june2.it's the deadline today.
for confirmation of application to local unis..believed most have made their decisions.to those who have not ..be quick.before its too late...all the best my friends.as for me it's
course:
can't believe im getting to the next phrase of life now.
no spoonfeeding from my teachers ...
no discipline master chasing me for eating at 'forbidden' places..
no fears abt getting onto the 'latecomers' list...
getting caught for using hp during contact time...
it's something that i can cheer for a moment...
but honestly it just means that I'm gonna take full responsibility of my actions and possess more independency and self-discipline when my parents are not around..
