HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HUA!

Its been one hell of a weekend, but let me start with Wanhua's Birthday first. Many thanks to Chris who managed to organise this thingie & pull it off successfully! Thanks for bringing us to HelioCafe too. Which serves fabulous food! :) You'll see the dessert pictures later. Unfortunately, we were too hungry (& too greedy) and thus i dont have any pictures of our starter & main courses. We were well-stuffed though. The food is really really good. Havnt had such a satisfying meal in ages. Lunch lasted me till Midnight that day (because we were too busy running around & filming on Sunday).

Blurrr picture, but i still like the look of it.
Mad & I kissing Wanhua (the birthday girl).
Here's wishing you a sweet 20th!
Hope you like your presents. Haha. *wink*

This warm chocolate cake was not only WH's Birthday cake,
It was the HIGHLIGHT of the meal.
Gosh, it was soooooo nice.
Its full of authentic chocolate flavour and its not too sweet.
Apparently its sugarless because the sweetness is only from the chocolate.
The texture was crumbly and moist at the same time!

Look closely.
Now DROOL.

Mango flan cake i think.
A little too sweet for my liking, but it was still enjoyable.

This is like an angmoh glamourised version of the 汤圆 filling!
Its sesame seed paste + peanut butter mousse i think.
Lovely presentation, but not my kind of thing.

So that was my Sunday Lunch. Sunday Morning was spent travelling to JasonGabe's house to do our Breakfast scene for CT. Haha. Then after a few shots, we went back to school. I was charging my handphone at the Sess benches near MrBean, then this dude on the other bench came over to talk to me. He's called Lawrence, hes 28 years old & hes from the Bahamas! All the way from those idyllic sunny islands to our sunny island here. I really wonder what made it so attractively to him. He told me he really appreciated its small land area which makes commuting around town very convenient. I suppose I take it for granted now. (& I bet he thinks I complain too much. Haha.) In fact I'm reluctant to travel to the East if u asked me to. Haha. He also said hes gonna study or work here. Blah blah & he thought I was 22/23 because I looked that old. Haha. Thanks. So far from what I've gathered, I either look like a kiddo, or i look like I'm 20odd. Not bad at all. Anyway it was really fun talking to him, we had this whole inter-cultural communication thing going, u know?

After lunch, i rushed to Groove Dance Studio for 3 classes straight. I almost died. Advanced bachata first. Then the super killer Reggaeton! It's fast, fun, energetic & tribal. I really like it, but i think i look like an idiot doing it. By the time I went for Salsa shines & styling, I was so dead I couldnt do double spins properly.

Next after all that, I rushed back to school to continue filming. We did an evening post-dinner-date stroll at Chijmes, which featured an argument scene with myself & Noel in it. Hahaha. It was really hilarious to make because Noel looks suppppeeeerrrrrrr nice & instead of him being the unreasonable ass-hole boyfriend, I think I'll do better bullying him. But he can do the part of an abusive bf cause he threw the keys at me too enthusiastically accidentally which bruised & cut my ankle. Haha. After more scenes, we flew to Changi to Joe's friend house to do the gay bar scenes. Due to Joe's terrible sense of direction, we went from Changi to Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris to some god-forsaken place.

We were planning to visit Taboo at first, but due to the lack of funds (cover charge of 24bucks!!!), we had to change our plans. That castle we visited was damnnnnn creepy. It was eerily quiet, extraordinarily ULU & in 90% darkness. We had fun scaring ourselves in the full-length mirror along this dusty & dim corridor though. In fact, I was pretending to be the star of the horror movie. Hurhur. So eventually this action ended at 11pm and i got home close to midnight.

On saturday itself, we had already started filming at 8+am at Marina Bay MRT. I think its a really novel idea to poledance in the MRT, which was what I did. Haha. A little exhibitionist streak in me probably, even though I was a little paiseh at the same time. Nevertheless its cool, heck those people who were staring! Hurhur. I enjoy CT & my group members' company, but its really tiring to have it at this time of the year.

On the topic of CT, my CT class today was unusual. Kwang made us do his SMU StarSearch. So the characters I've played today include a Bellydancer with an uncontrollable Itch. Haha. it was really unglam doing that one. I also played a Jane who was being held by a grizzly bear (Suffian), and then i was rescued by Tarzan (Young). Hahaha. Apparently they found my chest not ample enough to be Jane. Haha. BOO! If I had sat next to Dixi or Young ( They were planning to sit on my left so that they can instruct me to do stuff.), my fate would have been worse. Haha.

Lastly, Poledance. Arghhhh... I'm so disappointed with my progress for that. I've been having quite a few problems learning the tricks, especially the inverted swing & the cradle. I get tired really quickly and then my muscles go lazy. I wont be able to climb properly, I cant do the boomerang & carousel nicely too. :( And poledance HURTS LIKE HELL. Fire doesnt even burn this bad i think. Haha, okay nevermind. I'll keep trying, its an addiction which i have a love-hate relationship with. Wish me luck. I'm hoping its not one-sided.

Serenade me!

Tadah! Our lovely decorated notebook cover with scrap materials.
We were supposed to show our "Sponsors",
Hence, the Seventeen & FASIO stickers.
We were at the seventeen event on Sunday afternoon,
which let us watch MUSIC & LYRICS for 5 bucks!
Why do u think we went?
Haha. But I'm glad i did. I missed my girlfriends sooooo much.
We had fun catching up and bitching, as usual.
PLUS, I got abit of retail therapy too.
New Havianas Kitten Heel from NUM!
I'm not a big fan, but i need a pair of kitten heels in the first place.
Its Gold/Bronze with a earthy brown base.
It's much better than the first generation ones.
Those were a torture. This ones are slightly better.
Well, they'd better be. Since they cost almost 60bucks.

Alex Fletcher is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem--Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the music--if they want to find the love and success they both deserve. (From Yahoo!Movies)

Anyway... In a nut shell, the OST is fabulous. It is a great feel-good movie. Predictable plot, but still entertaining, amusing and enjoyable. Witty Dialogue (duh, because of Hugh Grant/Alex Fletcher's sharp brit humour.) You wont be disappointed since theres gonna be a happy ending. Cora is HOT. Drew Berrymore/ Sophie Fisher is adorable. But most importantly, Hugh Grant is soooo very very charming. I want an English Bloke too!

Thank God Its Friday (with TheElvin)

Fresh–faced, idealistic twenty–three–year–old Erin Gruwell is ready to take on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life--African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods--hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Despite her students’ obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis. But then ghetto reality steps in to focus the picture. A racially motivated gang shooting witnessed by a Latina gang member in Erin’s class, and an ugly racial cartoon that Erin intercepts during class, become the most unwittingly dynamic teaching aids. They spark a transformation in the classroom, compel them to listen and force her to take off her idealistic blinders and take in the kids’ survival stories of their undeclared war on the streets. Erin begins to connect with them. She brings in music from the ‘Hood, and literature from another kind of ghetto, The Diary of Anne Frank, and with these simple tools she opens her students’ eyes to the experiences of those suffering intolerance throughout the world and the struggles of those outside their own communities. Knowing that every one of her students has a story to tell, Erin encourages them to keep a daily journal of their thoughts and experiences. After sharing their stories with one another, the students see their shared experience for the first time and open up to the idea that there are possibilities in life outside of making it to the age of eighteen.

I just watched this movie with TheElvin today, at GV PS. Because resourceful TheElvin has free invites from the SMU movieclub membership. Something like that. I was reluctant at first, because my original purpose of going to school today- was to MUG! Gosh. Haha. So much for doing work in school. I ended up watching a movie instead. That totally translates into HIGH productivity. Gimme a pat on my back. Hurhur.

Anyway, although its a tried & tested movie with a done-to-death storyline, i still found it pretty inspiring and gripping. I was genuinely moved by their stories, and i cried so many times with them. I liked how the characters affected people without being melodramatic. Thank goodness, they managed to overcome the booby trap of being cliched. I loved Hillary Swank's performance. Great as usual. So it was good 2 hours spent in the theatre. A BIG THANK YOU to TheElvin!

Well, I wouldnt post much about my week, because it was just a blur of mundane chores, rushing for deadlines & doing last minute work. It has been an uneventful school week.

Meanwhile, Happy Birthday to KEXIN. My Module-cum-gym-buddy! Shes been my buddy in most of my classes. I really appreciate her sense of humour, which keeps me sane in class. :) Have a Sweet 20 girl!

Happy Birthday to JIAXIN, my NJ 1st-3-months-buddy-who-MIAed-after-the-A-lvls. hahah. At least i still have u on MSN. Have a good one! I'm still waiting for your letter in the mailbox!

Time flies. Please, I beg of you. Please, fast forward to 11 April. I'm running low. Low as in Laptop battery critical power stage.

Happy Birthday to RACHEL!

So many birthdays, too little time.
Gosh, there are so many March babies.
A signature act cute picture. Can you believe it?
They are like 22-32 years old.
Haha. Because of me, they stay in touch with their inner child.
Hehehe. FREE SIZE! (private joke.)

This place at Chijmes- smth Pizza... Under the Esmirada group.
(FYI, DBS cardholders get 1-for-1 Deal!)
We had great pizza, pasta, red wine, tiramisu and authentic ice cream for dinner.
On top of that, lotsa dirty jokes, salsa talk & laughter too.

As usual, these people were LATE.
So i took out my camera & went trigger happy.
Chijmes is pretty when dusk falls.

Romantic sia?
No wonder newly-weds take their wedding pics here.

Love the lights.

We should visit this place soon!

PIZZA. Sorry about the bad lighting.

But it was still good-
see those greedy hands behind?

HELP!

I am stuck in a difficult moral dilemma now. (My BGS module doesn't give a clue as to HOW to solve the problem. It only serves to make us discuss it on the tabletops, only to sweep it under the carpet again...)

I've just been told that my neighbour's maid is being abused (to a lesser degree) in numerous ways- such as being denied of sufficient food and medicine. Not just that, there is no respect for her and she gets verbally abused everyday, when the maid is just at a tender age of 18 years old. Shes even younger than I am. I cant imagine how someone is able to treat a young girl so cruelly and not feel any tinge of guilt. A little patience isn't too much to ask for, is it? A kinder tongue doesn't come cheap, is it? Do you take pleasure in monitoring all the activities of your maid, only to pounce unto to her, triumphantly claiming that you saw her committing a mistake, which warrant your scoldings?

On top of that, she'll lash out at my maid too, when she hasn't done much wrong, except to talk to her at a few instances. If wasn't as if my maid made her maid slack off. The employer ticked off the both maids and then bad-mouthed about my maid to hers, warning her to stay away.

I think theres something twisted with such behaviour. People with Psychology knowledge, please enlighten me. Does she think that what she's doing now is nothing wrong? Un/Intentionally Amoral? Un/Intentionally immoral? Or does she enjoy being a bitch? What's going through her mind?

Besides that, the more important question is this? What should I do now? If i stay silent about this, I'll continue to witness all the unnecessary suffering all her maids go through. (She changes them frequently, except for a few hardy ones.) If i dont, my neighbour would surely know who spilled the beans... Then, we'll create discord & expect a raging backlash from her. In fact, im sure most of the immediate neighbours are aware of this. Shes even more annoying than drilling at 2am in the morning. So what should I do? Is there any way I am able to sound the alert to some sort of relevant authorities while staying anonymous? Is the ministry of manpower in charge of this?

Sweet 22 to JUSTIN low.

L-R: Andrew, me, Zhihao, Justin, Candice, Karene, Saywai (& Cindy as photographer)
These are one of my favouritest people in school,
despite the fact that we don't meet up that frequently.
Yet, we always have such a blast when we get together.
I wonder why... But I'm just glad we do.
The chemistry we share is unbelievable. Haha.
At least, we have a wicked sense of humour,
& more importantly, a generous helping of bitchiness to go around.
Now that we have established the FTB Exco,
I feel abit sorry for myself.
Because my delegation is "Events Planner/Organiser",
I hafta plan my own Birthday Surprise Party!!! HAHA.
Nvm... So, let me digress and do a shout-out:
HAPPY 22nd Birthday to JUSTIN LOW!
( Our infamous big titty cow-girl from FTB camp run 3.)

Pardon the pictures which follow.
I mean, if hes a big titty cow-girl,
what kind of jokes would you expect???

The guys saw me blowing at the TauPok i harvested,
(because it was really hot & i couldnt eat it.)
Then, they thought it was really amusing and
thus they made me BLOW their Taupoks as well.
Sheeshhhh. So it was an ahem Blow-job. Haha.
Cindy had to grab a piece of the action too.

Myself attempting to rescue Justin from Cindy's assaults.
Felix seems uninterested as he came late and he was too busy eating the food.
Talking about the food, there were too much food.
We were so horribly stuffed and yet we had to play secret number to clear the food.
FYI, we were at HappyPay Steamboat, better known as 天天火锅,
is a pretty nice place to get decent food + aircon + privacy to do all sorts of unglam stuff.

The Guys who tried to act cool, macho & whatever.
Justin was having fun posing with his birthday present.
You will see that its an inflatable MACE.
Its uses is only limited by your own imagination. Haha.
Anyway, the guys loved it so much, they each wanted one for their birthdays too.
Haha, when we bought this, the uncle asked us," 你们是要用来打男人的,是吗?"
So, I replied," Uncle, 你怎么知道?"

1...2...5?!
Act Cute Version. JLo Beta 22.1
Haha. Poor Cindy was clueless.

SayWai with Justin's Birthday present.
TADAH. His present is DA BOMB right?
I think its SUPER DUPER.
Do you love it? (hurhur)
Anyway, Saywai has a damn good act cute (look like puppy) face.
P.S. I need a disclaimer.
All pictures posted here are not meant to offend,
It's purely for personal nostalgic purposes.
The really offensive ones have been left out of this collection.
Haha. Just have a good laugh & don't sue me OK?

Whirl-wind Weekend & Frenzied Week

Friday evening was spent at TWC project meeting. Then, there was dramatic incident which involved the IS Queen, The Elvin & Mark. Haha. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like an IS Queen's (or a woman) scorned. After dinner at PS, we watched GAYA 2007. I thought it was a nice performance which served its purpose well to entertain, as well as introducing us to a little Indonesian culture at the same time. The acting was sufficient, but the singing was commendable. I swear all Indonesians can sing. Haha.

Saturday morning was quite dreaded. We had an Econs Midterm. We had a shock when we flipped open our examination booklet. Haha. Okay, enough about that. I had Felix for company before I left school for pre-concert dinner at Rafflescity. I found out some shocking information from Mad. Scary thought, but Im hoping its not true. Then, we adjourned to EXPO, for the long awaited FALL OUT BOY gig.

I got a rude shock because there were so many YOUNG GIRLS. Maybe we went to the wrong concert. Is it Backstreet Boys instead??? Haha. The demographics were probably something like 60% girls; 70% of them were younger than me; 70% angmohs, 10% mats, 5% ah bengs & ah lians wannabes, 1% parents. Haha. It was really weird. And the crowd was pretty rough too.

Firstly, they started on time, with 2 opening bands. Im not too sure about the first act, but the second was home-grown Saw Loose (the updated version of Pug Jelly). Despite the fact that they were pretty good, the crowd was extremely impatient and they got restless after 3 numbers. I think Saw Loose knew that the crowd was getting unhappy from the incessant F*** YOU chants & the patchy sea of third fingers. A pity, because i thought they deserved a better response from the crowd, rather than hostility.

Next, after Saw Loose (finally) left, we had to wait a ridiculous 30+minutes for FOB to set up their stuff. I swear its the most boring 30mins I've spent in 2007. The people behind got sick of standing & waiting, they sat down. It was so anti-climax. I cant help but be really disappointed with the organisation. Grrr. I mean the lack of.

BUT, FOB is totally FABULOUS/BRILLIANT live.
It was greattttttt.
Nothing less.

The atmosphere.
The crowd.
The music.
The band.
The energy.

Anyway, this was the bus i took to get home.
See whats different on this bus?
Look closely!
This one has CNY DECORATIONS!
How adorable is that? Haha.

So, that was my Saturday. I spent Sunday in school, doing AS essay. Gosh. How sad is that? At least, i had good company all the way until 6+pm. Then, I met my salsa girls for dinner. I totally forgot how much i enjoy social salsa. I havnt done it in so long... Well, there was the Street Cha Cha workshop, which was really encouraging, as I've finally gotten the hang of the basic step. It starts on 2. Thats why the initial confusion with Salsa Steps. Poor muscle memory is a challenge for me, and i have the same problem in Pole dance. Oh wells, I'll probably try that after I've caught up with my salsa. Cause i love the cha-cha music too.

We are self-proclaimed camera sluts!
Myself, Widah, Tracy & Rachel.
I lurvvveee you girls by the way.

More camera whoring.
Laffy Taffy(Latifah) and Widah's friend (from right).
By the way, the theme was MAFIA night.

My weekend ended on a high note, then it was back to school on Monday. How is anyone able to avoid the monday blues??? Plus, it didnt help that I was so busy on Monday, I had to skip Poledance lesson. Sigh. AS essay & AS presentation were total bitches. At least, i'm done with them by now. Good riddance.

Hope (11th April) dangles on a string.

School's becoming a black hole of project meetings, presentations, assignments & tests.
Social life's becoming a snow-white sheet of paper which give awful paper cuts.
And life's becoming a gloomy black-faced, white-clad bitch.
So I'm becoming really tired and jaded.

Other than being busy, I dont know what else to describe how life is right now. Everyone's trudging along, hanging on to the bleak hope that the Summer Vacation is coming SOON. (Tell me that 7 weeks is soon!!!?) Oh well... I'm whining so much, im irritating myself.

So, anyway, my lil cousins came over to have dinner at my place last sunday. They were making one heck of a ruckus as usual. Their dad (my uncle) is a strict vegetarian and forbids his family members to eat meat as well. He told them that if they eat fish, they will become fishes; if they eat pork, they'll be reborn as pigs, to be eaten up by other humans in their next life. If these principles are true, then wont my uncle be reborn as VEGGIES to be eaten by humans too??? A worse scenerio would be being eaten by caterpillars or locusts. Urgh. Well, honestly, having a balanced & beneficial diet is more important than what you believe you will end up as in your next life. I sympathise deeply with my little cousins, even though i eat enough greens to be a pseudo-semi-vegetarian. Haha. After dinner, I was happily blowing bubbles from this 4 year-old bubble solution to entertain them. I'm a professional bubbler now. Hurhur.

I had Poledance level 2 class 1 on Monday evening. It's freaking tough! Blah. I need a personal trainer to increase my strength. Climbing the pole was fun though. I swear I look more like a kanjiong monkey scampering up a tree than a seductive pole-dancer. Hahaha.

Creative Thinking classes have started on Tuesday and my class is full of Social Science guys. I appreciate their great sense of humour. I'm sure i'll get along fine with them. In fact, my socsc friends have somehow told the class guys that there was a poledancer in their CT class. I was like HOW PAISEH LAH?! Hahaha. But it was rather funny. Then, Young asked me, "Why am you like that?" "Like that" because according to him, I dont behave like the typical Accountancy girl. Well, maybe cause nobody knows that i'm from ASOC, other than the Asoc people. Maybe 'cause I'm technically Half-Soc Science, even though I havnt done any SESS modules at all. So apparently I'm an urban legend. I'm so unlike Asoc, yet Soc Sc people doesnt really know me & i hang out so often at SIS building with my SIS friends and then some people think im from Business. Phoar. I didnt know I'm THIS COOL. haha. I think i have an identity crisis.

Talking about crisis management, I have a major crisis brewing at hand. I'm totally swarmed with work. My to-do list expands by itself. I dont know how to deal with it! I swear its black magic or something. Alright, I'm exaggerating. I suppose I still have a life-jacket on, floating around on the surface of the deep blue sea. I'm alive but still exposed to the brutal elements and 100% vulnerable. My life-jacket may pop any moment, but lets hope it lasts me for 7 more weeks and hopefully I'll be saved by a passing lifeboat by then. My fingers are crossed, my toes too & I can even cross my legs while im perched on the pole. (It's Freaking tiring by the way. haha.) Wish me luck.

VEGAS NIGHT

The banquet table centrepiece-

floating tealights & crimson rose petals.
The atmosphere was semi-romantic & semi-glamourous.
At least, the room was filled with numerous beautiful people.
Must be the evening wear dress-code.
Suddenly everyone's a prom king or queen.
(Except yours truly, who couldnt be bothered...)

So this afternoon was spent dressing the tables,
Fixing the table cloth and skirtings.
I cant believe how the guys managed to screw up such a simple job like that.
It looked downright horrible before we girls went to the rescue. Haha.
After all that hard work,
We just planted ourselves in the chairs nearest to the Buffet table.
Then, Andrew insisted on proving his photography skills,
Thus, Candice & myself cant help but oblige him.
Not bad. Haha. Okay... Fine, You're Professional.
I remember being extremely hungry at this point in time.
Thank goodness, we got to have dinner soon after.
FYI, the Pasta sucked.
Oh yeah, i know that Candice has gone through a really rough patch recently,
& i really admire her courage and her strength of character.
Take good care of yourself, girlfriend.
Love you, muacks!

Say Wai, Andrew & moi.
I dumped all my chips with SW cause i was too lazy to gamble.
The blackjack tables were crazy. Packed man.
We had real dealers in vests & stuff from the Gaming School.
Well... I dont think I have had much luck tonight.
In fact, I lost 5 bucks worth of chips playing 大小!
Hurhur, I'm a loser.
But I think SW lost all the chips Candice & I gave him. Haha.
Anyway, I think gambling brings out a fascinating array of human emotions.
You see either wildly ecstatic or terribly upset people at the gambling tables.
(The latter wasnt obvious since its no real money involved.)

The 3 of us with ELVIS & MARILYN MONROE.
Cool beans huh?
Elvis is really Elvis man.
Monroe needed a bigger mole.
Anyway, I have a polaroid picture of us with the BUNNY girls.
As well as one with MICHAEL JACKSON.
Hahaha. MJ was hilarious.
He was neither dark nor white enough to be MJ,
But his effort made up for the lack of it.
He could have brought along a little kiddo with him or something too! Hurhur.
Too bad, I cant post the two polaroids up here.

Final group picture before Dorothy (girl in multi-coloured top) left for her hot date.
Where's everyone?
Felix left earlier, Cindy is busy with chingay 2007, Zhi Hao is away in Kinabalu, I believe.
Justin MIA-ed due to personal reasons. Where are Karene, CK & the others? :(

CNY MAMBO

CNY has been kind to me so far. Except for the fact that I got really ill on Tuesday afternoon. I kenaed food poisoning of some sort, which meant I almost ruined Elvin's party lah. So paiseh. Thanks a million to Tanu, Elvin & his family members for taking care of me. :) I owe you guys my LIFE. Haha.

On the same day (CHU 3), i visited Justin's new place after Elvin's party. Its gorgeous!!! I'm so envious, I wanna be his house-mate!

Moving on... Well, last night was a good MAMBO experience, as compared to my first. Which was mainly smoky & filled with boring music.

Phuture was boring at the beginning, then it got slightly better. But WH & Co are such big mambo fans, they dragged me away to go to the main room. Then i met my friends there, ALOT of them and other familiar faces without names attached. Haha. Mostly SMU people though. Its practically a school bash.

So after i was getting comfortable in Zouk, i found out that i didnt have my phone with me, then i flew into a panic. Thank god for Mad finding my phone on the dance floor at Phuture. It probably flew out of of my clutch when i was waving it around. Haha. Super paiseh.

Anyway, there was a lot of drama involved, on top of my own hysteria (due to the prospect of losing my phone). Firstly, we were trying to plough our way into the human entanglement. Huiting was leading the way, holding onto my arm firmly, but we got stuck halfway anyway. Then there was this horrid guy who tried his darnest to cut in between us, even when there was hardly any breathing space. So i was being shoved/pushed around by this offending person, and i knocked into another guy just behind me. I was saying sorry profusely and he was really nice and understanding about it, after which he was trying to help me across the idiotic obstruct. He was shielding me, guiding me forward and everything. Ahhh, i'm Uper touched. PLUS, hes cute too. Haha. Well, to whoever you are, thanks for helping, i really appreciate it. :) (FYI, I was gushing about him to my friends after that. haha. *blush*)

After I found out that my phone is safely with Mad, i fled Phuture and went back to Zouk. I was quite irritated by the warmth & high couples which hog a lot of space when they lean backwards. Its like an elbow-festival or something. Hmph. Well, after my girlfrens left me, i was pretty much left alone with my guy friends. But they were good company as well. Thankfully, the music got better after 1am. At 2+am, we were thinking about leaving, then it was " let's leave after the next song", "let's leave after the NEXT song" and there were endless "next song"s. Haha. So we finally left at 3+am, close to 4am. By then, my feet were killing me. We did some walking before going to Zouk and try dancing frm 11pm to 3+am non-stop in heels. It didnt help that Leon & company wanted to go to SHELL station, which is really far away (when your feet hurt like crazy). I enjoyed the bottle of cold mineral water though.

These guys were quite amusing, cause i was watching them attempting to copy Justin Timberlake dance moves from "My love" at the Shell station entrance. Haha. Anyway the biggest discovery was that LEON is from PEI HWA! He's my primary school senior (gosh!)& we were reminiscing about flooded canteen and the teachers. Haha. Next, another surprise, he used to stay at RAINBOW GARDENS too! I stayed there til i was 3, which was around the same time when he did too. So we were almost neighbours. How cool is that? Haha.

Chinese New Year gets better every year

Presenting the Hougang Fun Fair!
Its officially named UNCLE RINGO EUROPE FUN FAIR,
but lets stick to the former...
because the latter sounds rather paedophilic, dont you think? Haha.
Hougang is HIP for once.
We travelled 1 hour for this man.
& i spent about 20bucks.
I'd say the time & money was well-spent,
as long as you brought along some great company.

Entrance fee is 2 bucks.
You'll get a lousy paper ticket.

Ferris Wheel!
One of their main attractions. :)

The mandatory Carousel at all fun fairs.
We didnt take a spin on it because we couldnt afford that luxury.

Game stall! With instructions I didnt understand.

The ride called SKY RIDE.
Lovely ceiling.

It's like a giant Merry-go-round on strings.
I know its damn fun,
with the wind in your face, air between your toes kinda feeling.
But my wallet's too spacious already.

Finally, my beloved Ferris Wheel.
At least, it resembles the real thing.
I'm afraid of heights,
But i cant believe that i screamed a fair bit while we were going up.

So when I finally got comfortable enough,
Cam whoring starts.
Left to right: Mad & Hua-
My 2 favouritest girls on Planet Earth.

POLE!

Haha, we had to have a picture with the pole in it.
But I was too freaked out to do anything constructive.

View of the Funfair from the Ferris Wheel.
I love it.
It was brimming with colours & lights & all sorts of people.

Another shot.
Another part of the Fun fair.

My favourite aerial view from the top.
Anyway, I was pretty high after the adrenaline rush.
So we were happily waving to the guys who were too Macho for the ferris wheel.
BUT, they thought we were embarrassing
& refused to acknowledge us.
Some nice (sympathetic, maybe?) people waved to us instead.

I heart ferris wheels.
Now i want an authentic one.

Tadah! Highlight of the night is called THE CHALLENGER.

I was screaming my head off on this one.
It's the best ride there.
Its like a viking ship which spins at the same time,
at unbelievable speeds.
I couldnt walk properly after I got off. Haha

No space? Just MAKE SPACE.
At least we reached our destination in 1 piece.
