2 more days to New Year!

Soon, we'll be ushering in 2008. 2007 has been a fruitful year for me, with many interesting experiences. Being a civilian is definitely way better than having a military life. Two years before this day, I am still slogging like a slave and carrying out orders.

My classmates and I visited our tutor's house yesterday. We initially planned for a babiq but rain approached shortly after we started cooking. We took the food and utensils and rushed to Dr Chia's house. Our lunch was served by the maid.

We spent our time after lunch listening to Dr Chia's experiences while he was studying overseas. He had so many stories to tell and they were never ending! When he mentioned that he knew a bit of palmistry, everyone of us gathered around him and asked him to read our palms. From his divination, my life prospects seem to be good. Lines and patterns on palms changes every 5 to 10 years. I'll see how it goes. My feet have lines too. Does "feetistry" exist?

We left his house at around 1930. Took the train with Clara and alighted at Pasir Ris. Joined my cousins and sis at Downtown East chalet for my uncle's birthday celebration. He didn't even bother to make a wish before blowing out the candles! At least he managed to smile behind the cake and we took a picture of him. This was probably the first time I had celebrated his birthday.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to 2008. I will make my 2008 a very exciting one. Resolution is to stay healthy!

For honour and glory! Cheers to the New Year everyone!

Merry Merry Christmas!

I am enjoying every minute, every hour, every day of the holidays.

There was not much schoolwork to complete. I finally have time to pay my sleep debts and have time for my own self, not forgetting socializing and meeting up with old friends. It has been months since I felt so free.

I met up with my JC buddies, Vince, KJ and KH yesterday. We went to Cineleisure Orchard for a movie in the late afternoon. We saved 1.5 bucks on our tix as the movie starts before 1700.

We proceeded to the basement for our dinner. Cine was relatively crowded with lots of "teenage beauties". There was even a queue for the elevators!

We stayed until 2200 before making our way out of Cine. As we stepped out of the building, we were overwhelmed by the crowd. There were throngs of people on the streets and it was difficult to move around.

We walked for while before seeking refuge behind Ngee Ann City. The crowd was moving in a general direction and we were wondering what was going on. We went against the crowd. After about one hour, we noticed that the source of the crowd was the Orchard MRT station exit. The police set up many road blocks and dividers to facilitate the crowd movement and ensure minimum chaos. There wasn't a programme or whatsoever. It was just too many people. Several were partying away, armed with their weapons, the spray foam.

I brought a camera, hoping to take pictures with some fanciful Santarinas. However, we didn't managed to meet any. How disappointing.

We proceeded to Borders at ard 2300. We stayed at my favourite section which contains all the divination and astrology books. Borders closed at 0000.

We witnessed the countdown near Wheelock. It wasn't a grand one, but nevertheless the ground was littered with foam, streamers and spray cans.

Our last stop was McCafe. Stayed there for almost an hour. Vince suggested going to Party World. Upon arrival, we found out that the smallest room (5 pax) costs $163! We decided to sing another day.

Managed to catch the train at 0120 and took the Night Rider home. Slept at 4-plus.

These were some of the highlights of the day.






The Sith Lords!

Wishing everyone happy holidays and a great new year ahead!

10 days to Christmas!

Yo!

My holidays are here! Finished my second FOCHEM quiz today. I can finally rest my mind, body and soul. It was not easy enduring the past few weeks. I have to pay back my sleep debts and recharge for the short term and semester exams coming up after these 2 weeks. Soon I'll be an "old bird" in SP.

Went for dinner at this famous restaurant in Lucky Plaza. This restaurant's chilli sauce is the best that I have tasted at any restaurants so far. It turned me on.

We went for a stroll along Orchard Road before proceeding to Wheelock. Spent some time at Borders reading some interesting divinity books and LOHO.

Damn tired. Gotta sleep.

She will be loved. I'll be waiting.

Glossary: LOHO = laughing our heads off

18 more days to Christmas!

Finally finished my tasks this week. My ENVSTB formal report is finally completed. The ENVSTB quiz on Monday was not very well done, though I think I should be able to pass. For the following week, I'm left with 2 data sheets to clear, not forgetting the FOCHEM quiz on Friday. I must not let "left face" down.

Some history.
Today marks the 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On Dec 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese forces. The US forces suffered severe casualties and many ships and planes were lost. Shortly after the Japanese started their conquest of SEA.

Had my first taste of "Subway" today. The food was alright. It's kind of frustrating when you can't understand what the service crew were saying. Fortunately, the auntie at the cash register was on the same "frequency" as me.

Probably going St James tomorrow. Drown everything in booze.

Yoyo!

Finished the TR&TRA quiz this Wednesday. It was relatively alright and passing should not be a problem. Can set my mind at ease. 55% of the module is gone. Now is the time to work hard for the remaining 45%.

Didn't do anything interesting this week. Just finished studying half of the topics for the ENVSTB quiz. I hope history does not repeat itself with the results I obtained for the 1st ENVSTA quiz.

Chelsea was damn lucky to score against West Ham today. It was a 50/50 judgement made by the assistant referee. He did not raise his flag for offside, allowing Joe Cole to score.

An exciting week awaits.
