An eventful month ... and an emotional post

I've stopped posting in blog for very long le!! Can see from my last post, its still at hk day 2 which is like not even half completed. But, busy busy lah .. Will continue the hk post if i have time.

Its now almost 2.30am, and I'm gonna sleep soon, but i was jus reading a friend's blog, so suddenly 有感而发, thought of blogging to dump all my feelings out here .. Mayb this can relieve some stress and headaches here.

After the careerfair held last month in NTU, I've now starting to go for interviews and some company orientation. Really hope that I can secure a job before going Taiwan for my grad trip. So far I went interview at EMC with the South Asian Lab director, was suppose to have a 2nd round phone interview jus now with the USA manager, but cos the manager got urgent meeting, so the it had to be postponed. Hiazz ... i anticipate so much for this interview liao .. now gena postponed .. must make me nervous 1 more time leh .. Then last fri I went MHA, gena a panel of 5 interview which include my director during IA, 2 managers and 2 HRs. Seems like they quite confirm wanna hire us liao, the G50 form is already mailed to my house. I'm still waiting for an interview at ST Electronics, which seems like they're taking quite long to process.

Apart from job finding, I've settled my grad trip. 8D 7N Taiwan tour package with Chan Bro. Going with yuzhen. Initially we insisted a free-n-easy trip, but our parents insisted not, saying only 2 gals, not safe. So no choice, we settle on tour package, but the package is quite attractive lah, so i'm very looking forward to the trip. Hiazz ... but because of this trip, bad things happen also. 1 of my aunt last sunday suddenly called me, start reprimanding me for going taiwan. And without giving me a chance to talk throughout the whole conversation, she blurted all the way saying i took $$ from my parents to go USA, to go hk, then now to taiwan. But the truth is, the USA expenses a lot came from my savings. The trip was jus nice after my IA, so I had some allowance. And i also took a 3k study loan from the school. That will be paid by ME after i graduated from NTU. The hk trip was paid by myself also, and its a very budgeted trip. This taiwan trip was also from my savings and part of my angbao $$. So, every1 out there .. do learn some lesson here .. NEVER assume things that you DONT see. And also because of this trip, this is the 1st time i scolded some1 over my MSN nick which is actually 1 of my relative. Hiazz ... I've learnt my lesson too ... only trust ur direct family members, they know you the best, and their love for u is really unconditioned, so Pa and Ma, i really love you!! But anyway, Aunt, I had always respected you, and stil respect u now. I know u're my mum's elder sis, u love her so you think you should stand out and reprimand me .. but what u see is jus the interface .. and to my dear grandma in heaven, I'm so sorry tat i cursed LKS through msn, but i'm really angry for what he said and wat his mum said too. I know you'll b very sad seeing this .. so i'm really sorry.

This is really a bad week i think .. all the datelines for reports and assignment. Finally on monday, i threw a burden away!! FYP draft report submitted .. been slogging over it almost the whole of last week and its finally completed. And it spent me $50+ to print 2 copies!! Hiazz ... hope I dont need to print the ammended in color again .. if not its another $50+ ... goodness ... And now these few days fr FYP report switch to assignment. Comp graphics assignment due-ing. I've built my room, done the morphing which is not very smooth, now left the implicit function. I'll jus leave it to tomorrow ba.

I heard another bad news today also. Vicky had passed away. Hiazz .. so sad, but i think she really lived out to the fullest of a doggie's life liao, 18 years old, had a loving family, taking care of her so well. Do rest in peace.

Hmm ... tink my mood now is very complicated .. so much things piling up in me. hope after this blog post, i'll feel better after trashing all the feelings n thoughts out, if not i thing volcano is gonna erupt soon. Think its the 1st time i'm really showing out so much emotion in my post.
爱真的需要勇气 只要你一个眼神肯定 我的爱就有意义 如果我的坚强任性 会不小心伤害了你 你能不能温柔提醒 我虽然心太急更害怕错过你
This is in my MSN nick now. Its been in my mind recently. Like what i told 1 of my jie mei this afternoon on msn, will history gonna repeat itself? I hope the bad part will not. Will it turn better or worst .. i really dunno. Will everything end, or is there going to be a start? Should I just throw everyting away and get it over? Can I? I REALLY DUNNO!!!

Hiazz .. if only all the troubles will be gone after i woke up from my beauty sleep tml morning .. but well .. i tink i gotta face the reality and go on well in life. Just hope that I have a great day or week waiting for me in front, and my troubles will be solved asap .. Good night!

HK Day 6 (Last Day)

Its last day in HK!!! so sad ... we split up today oso to do some last minute shopping. Firstly, we had breakfast at Dai Ka Lok. I ordered a Ham breakfast with hot milktea as weather was quite cold. Me, Rene, Angeline, Kevin and Yuzhen decided to go Lai Chi Kok, a wholesale shopping area. Sadly to say, its the winter season, so most of the stuff werent suitable for us. But we were saying if its summer, can shop til drop there .. all the stuff there really quite cheap. I only bought a Leggings and handbag there. On the way back to hotel, we dropped-by 满记 again to buy dessert. Though I had eaten 2 times in hk, i still miss it sooooo much now .. we were nearly late for checking out the hotel cos of the traffic jam .. a tram broke down or what .. lucky stil managed to make it in time. Haha ... look at us, 大包小包 heading to take a airport shuttle. As its a neighboorhood area, 14 of us attracted quite a lot of attention. Such big group walking on street with lugguage and stuff .. machiam 逃难 .. lol .. Saw some christmas decoration at the airport which is quite nice. As we taking budget airline, there won't be food served on board. So had our dinner at the airport foodcourt 1st before checking in. I ate 烧鹅白鸡饭, quite yummy. After dinner, I went to buy some donuts from Krispy Creme to bring back singapore. Proceeding to checkin We had actually created quite a big commotion in the airport. As some ppl checkin 1st, they thought stil have some time. So they went shopping around til we cant find them. Then suddenly the Jetstar counter staff approach us say we must faster hurry to proceed to the air plane. We were still thinking whats the rush, til later then we realise from crossing the custom til reaching the airplane itself is a long long journey. Stil must take light railway, walk super long before reaching. And later, quite a few singaporeans, including some of our group, arrived so late that we caused some delay. We nearly thought the plane gonna take off without them. But well, the plane waited for every1 and we are all back in singapore .. Goodbye hk!! hope that we can be back!! Its really a wonderful trip!

HK Day 5

Day 5, our last full day in hk. So sad, leaving hk in the next day liao. We decided to split up as our aim for the day was shopping. Too big a group very hard to shop, so we splited up to shop in the day, and meet up again at night for dinner and then proceed to Ave Of Star together. So me, rene, michelle, angeline and eve travelled together. We headed down to Mongkok and we went to Langham Place as our 1st stop. There at Langham Place, got a lot of winter decoration, so nice!! And we found this dessert stall, 满记 .. recommended by yuki also .. their dessert really yummy leh .. We ordered Mango Glutinous Dumpling, 杨枝甘露, black seasame wif walnut paste, Almond paste etc .. After Langham place, we didnt really take much photo cos its shopping time!! I bought a pair of Lecoq Sportif shoe .. love it a lot .. so i spend another hkd500 ... :p But while shopping, we came across this cold noodle snack, very very nice leh, i think the concept quite good, shld start selling it in singapore .. just choose the kind of noodle, kind of ingredient like squid, cucumber etc .. then they mixed it with some spicy sauce .. me and angeline shared a packet .. very nice! Rene cant take it cos her stomach was stil quite upset then. So wasted .. After shopping, we met up every1 and we went Sogo foodcourt for dinner. And there's a 恒香 branch there .. they're famous for wife biscuit, so every1 started buying. I only buy 1 to eat on the spot which I think it's the best. Bought a bottle of bird nest drink which is quite nice oso, refreshing n cooling. And finally, we proceed to Ave Of Star. Its super windy there, but well, its the last nite in hk le, must enjoy the hk nite scenary! Too bad this photo not too well taken, but i tink its stil quite nice lah. Risked my camera, putting it on a mini tripod on the ground on the street where a lot of ppl were walking past. Lucky no one step on my camera. Fighting the cold wind, we took quite a lot of photos here .. After Ave Of Star, we headed to Lan Kwai Fong for a walk. We've no intention to club, just walk around at the famous slope that always appear in hk dramas, and gabriel recommended us a shop tat sells yummy kebabs. We settled there to try before going back to hotel by cabs. I shared wif Angeline, Michelle and Eve a spicy chicken kebab which I tink is really nice. However, going back hotel haven mark the end of Day 5 yet. We've bought cake from Lan Kwai Fong to celebrate Eve's and Rene's Birthday. And finally we had our grad gift exchange session. Every1 had bought a gift for exchange, and almost all of us got it from Disney .. lol .. I've gotten a Chipmunk mug from Michelle. So cute!! Lucky i got the Chipmunk mug, cos I had bought the mickey mouse mug for myself. Been aiming it since the first time i visted Disney. And anyway, its end of Day 5. Hiazz .. so sad and time flies really fast, going back singapore the nxt day..

HK Day 4

As everyone is quite drained out and tired, we all wake up later on day 4. And day 4 is 31st December, last day of 2007!! We gonna have our countdown in Disneyland. My room woke up and got ready the fastest .. haha... so far the most healthy among all room, except for rene, sick since day 3. Tink her stomach is really weak. And our fomula to keep healthy is .. da da da dang .. our messy room caught, and me peeling orange for every1 to eat .. vitamin C!! healthy healthy!! Our 1st stop of the day is Dim Sum lunch. Recommended by yuki, my ex-toiletmate from hongkong, we went to this Dim Sum restaurant at Causeway Bay. All of us managed to squeeze into the lift up to the restaurant .. quite a interesting photo, but too bad not every1 is captured in .. but all 14 of us and a stranger were in the lift When the lift door opened, we were all stunned by the scene in front of us. Super many many ppl queuing for the restaurant. We nearly gave up waiting. Some ppl went off to look for alternaltive while some of us continue to wait. Finally, they manage to arrange 2 tables for us, we were sooooo hungry by then. yummy yummy dim sum Stack of dim sum basket on our table with kevin's blur face .. lol .. he's always caught in a blur mode .. Kevin, Jackson, Yijie, Huiling, Me and Yuzhen This dim sum meal is really super cheap, i forgot the exact pricing, but jus rem for tat kind of restaurant n dim sum, its really quite cheap .. Finally we set off to Disneyland. And took the disney train. And finally, we're at Disney's doorstep .. I've gotten Mickey Mouse ticket this time round In front of the castle At the foot of castle The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh .. I prefer the ride here in hk than the 1 in USA anaheim. Not sure y also, but mayb this is newer, so its more comfy And the Philhar Magic, the must watch 4D show Look at the scarf over my neck .. the chipmunk scarf, soooooo cute!! Bit regret nvr buy it .. hiazz .. Wizard hat Cotton candy .. when i saw it, it reminded me of the 1 xuehua bought in usa disney. But quite disappointing, usa 1 much much nicer .. The castle after lightup.. we managed to catch the lightup ceremony which was quite nice n mickey as the conductor was quite cute =) This christmas lightings made the castle so much more attractive compare to normal days .. Along the Disney Main Street, with Christmas tree at the background This pair of Chipmucks is soooo cute!! But a bit waste money if I buy lah, so just took photo with it. Some nice display at the shops My dinner after watching the fireworks .. orange juice and teriyaki burger .. the burger seriously is very yucky .. standard drop liao .. rem 1 year ago when i ate was quite nice .. As there is a countdown party, we were all give a party pack which includes a party hat. And 12 of us bought 6 pairs of Mickey Mouse hand, each person took 1, we gals grabbed the right hand .. hehe .. and this is really useful, as the weather turned super cold at night, this hand served as a glove to keep our hand warm =) Me and Rene Me and Michelle Me and Eve Me wif Yijie and Huiling Me wif Angeline and Jackson Mascot of the day ... quick, every1 queue up to take photo .. haha .. Pluto!!! Its so playful lor, hoping around .. and i tink its bit overwhelmed by us, such a big group And Donald Duck! Quite funny also, when we queuing halfway, suddenly got a disney staff came down the queue saying paiseh, we've got to wait a while, Donald is on the phone wif Daisy .. lol .. like tat oso can A group photo after countdown before we left Disney .. And that night is really cold. We were all shivering when we got out from the MTR station. How cold? look at Rene .. haha ..
