.Menotti & Steamboat again!.

Went to Menotti again for their desserts. This time round, it was with my buddies and the place was packed. Many desserts were already sold out! Must be the crowd who were around the area to watch fireworks. Yummy-licious! Fantastic! Chocolatey! Cheap! These are the words to describe the desserts there.


.yum yum yum.


.lionel, zongyao and weehwa.

Besides going to Menotti again, i had steamboat dinner again as well. This time round, it was just my clique in hall. It was really nice to have Lena, Shuwei and Shuping to come back to join us, even though they weren't staying in hall anymore. I ate till i felt super duper bloated, however, it was really nice to be chatting with everyone of them. We can talk abt anything under the sun man. Really glad to have known each and everyone of them, Boo, Shuwei, Weiqiang, Ying Xuan, Jing Lin, Shuping and Lena. Without them, my hall life would be incomplete. Pics time!





.Si Lian Pai.


.Jinglin 1, Ying Xuan 2, Shuping 3 & Lena 4.


.the guys' turn.


.Weiqiang 1, Me 2, Shuwei 3, Boo 4.


.love each and everyone of them man!.

On a side note, with the new hall allocation system, many changes are taking place in hall. Fresh faces are everywhere and old ones seem to be fading away. I guess tht's because there aren't many people from my own batch, which is really a pity. However, i'm still glad for those who i've met in hall and got closer to. Hall life is getting better by the day for me. With more neighbours staying beside me, it's really fun to be able to hop ard, chit chat, makan together etc. The kind of hall life which i wanted to lead since year 1 had eluded me but now, i'm enjoying every moment of it.

However, this means giving up time for my own work, which i'm pretty stressed up abt now. Going for lectures and not understanding anything the lecturer says absolutely sucks. I hate that feeling and plan to do something abt it soon. Been socialising too much in hall, haha. Need to cut down abit.

In addition, i feel a change in me, like i'm no longer that introverted. I'm kinda opening up more and thinking or worrying less about all those friendship stuff. I guess sometimes things are really beyond your control and being bo chap certainly helps. Nowadays i tend to ignore some stuff which i use to be very concerned abt last time. Does it make me less sensitive? Not exactly, since i still feel it, but i chose to ignore it. Life is better indeed, living in the moment, rather than dwelling in all those things which make you upset. Till then.....

.best roomies.



This is a little backdated, but doesn't mean i forgot abt it, cauz it's too memorable to be forgotten. Anyway Zongfu gave me this during my 1st day of my Hall's FOC. When i saw it, i was really touched and teared a little, cauz it means alot to me. Thanks Zongfu, for the time and effort that you have spent, really truly appreciate it, simply can't express how much i like it.

It's hanging by my wall now and everytime i look at it, it jus reminds me of the times when we used to be roomies. I miss this ex-roomie of mine. The fun and laughter that we had, the times when he would cheer me up with his lame-ness. I was really pissed when he told me that he wasn't gonna continue to stay, but oh while guess there's nothing much i can do abt it. Thanks for everything dude! Hope you will still look for me in school! Hehe

.Songs Of The Sea.


One fine day, 3 of us made an impulse decision to head down to Sentosa to take a look at the new musical fountain. We took the newly built monorail, which was really cool.


We initially thought that there wasn't gonna be much people, but to our surprise, we were shock to find many China tourists queueing up for the show.


While waiting for the show to begin, i was bored and decided to take some photos. This was the one and only successful shot that i managed to take using my own hands.


The show finally began and this shot here shows Annie. I don't think i'll be telling the entire story out, you guys hafta go watch and find out yourselves. Anyway it's no longer free, it's 7 bucks per person.


This here is Oscar. The following few collages will show you some of the shots which i manage to capture during the show. Enjoy!


Laser Displays and mini explosions of fire were some effects of the show.




Was it worth it? Well honestly speaking, i felt it was ok only, the old one was much better. However, i like the location where the show was held. It was facing the big sea and it was really windy. There was this effect that i liked alot as it felt so surreal. By using different shades of orange colored lightings and the spraying of water, they manage to enact a scene of lava bursting out of the ground. Something that is different from the old one, there were mini displays of fireworks, which was pretty cool i must say. Oh if you don't know the name of the show, it's called Songs of the Sea. It's no longer called the Musical Fountain.


An artistic shot of the seats. I really like the ambience of the place.

.Menotti.


Interact Gathering over the weekend started out with dinner at a Korean Restaurant at Liang Seah Street.


From the top left corner, in a clockwise direction, Yushan, Derrick, Zongyao & Yunwei. These were the people present for dinner, including the person taking the shot, me!


While waiting for Shuqin and Diana to join us, we decided to shop around Suntec, where i took a shot of this lovely fountain at the revamped section of it. It was really very nice, go take a look if you are around the vicinity.


When both gals finally managed to joined us, Yunwei suggested that we had desserts at Menotti, where i absolutely fell in love with after my first bite of their desserts. Every dessert that we ordered were so yummy-licious, that i wanted to order the entire menu, since it was half priced after 10pm. However, it was simply too filling for me, since some of the desserts were really too "gao".


Individual shots of me and some of them. Look at Yunwei, she did that on purpose.


A group shot! I absolutely love everyone of them. Everytime we gather, laughters can't seem to stop and we can chat forever about everything in our lives. That's something that i appreciate alot since i love to chit chat, haha.


Yunwei, Derrick and Yushan decided to leave early while the rest of us wanted to hang out a little while more. Esplanade was where we headed for and here's a picture of the floating platform where NDP was held.


A final shot before we decided to head home. We had a good chat mainly abt working life and politics, which kinda scared me a little since i'll be facing the same problems which they faced in their work. To Diana and Shuqin, hang on in there k? Jia you Jia you!


Finally, we headed home in Shuqin's new Mini Cooper. She sent all of us back which i felt pretty paiseh abt cauz it must be damn tiring for her. Thanks alot for the ride man, Shuqin! I absolutely love your car, it's really damn cool! Makes me wonder when i'll ever get to drive on the roads and also to own a car of my own. I guess i can only dream for now.

.FOC.

My all time favourite event to start the semester with. I absolutely love the thrills of hollering in a big group, teaching exaggerated cheers and actions, playing all the lame games which make my head spin at times, losing in games and having to perform a forfeit as well as all those stupid things i would do regardless of my own image. FOC this year was a little bit different since it was the first time i was a senior attached. I must say it's really slack to be one. Due to the large intake of freshies (Year of the Dragon), there wasn't any need to top up seniors in most of the games as compared to my year.

Though the games played were similar to previous years, it's really enjoyable and sometimes even funny just to see how to freshies come together to play the game. Every year's freshies are different from each other, hence the different behaviours. It even reminds you of wat i did during my first FOC, a nostalgic moment i must say. I miss being a GL, it's the best position to be, though it's tiring and there's alot of things you need to do. However, when you see your freshies bond, that's the greatest satisfaction that you can get. I'm proud of the group of freshies that i lead, cauz they really bonded very well.

To the freshies this year, maintain the bond that you have made during FOC. Don't let it slip away. Make your GL proud! Enough said, time to look at the pics!
