I appreciate Jazz music. But probably not as much as I do for Band music. In spite of tt, I've truly enjoyed the mini Jazz concert put up by Lasalle-SIA last Sun evening at Esplanade Waterfront. They performed different genres of Jazz like Bossa Nova, Swing and Blues. More interestingly enough, they even attempted to turn one of our local's Pop in the 80s a.k.a Xiao Ren Wu De Xin Sheng into Jazz.
Abt Xiao Ren Wu De Xin Sheng.. :
Hmmz..the new version of the song sounds different and refreshing. I meant..of course it does, but if you ask me which one I prefer, I wld say the latter. No reason why I like the Jazz version more..Well..it merely suits my taste tt's all. =D
I've also get to know quite a number of Candice friends from Lasalle..all of whom are rather active. And I was surprised to be recognised by a former Haisian who's a year my senior. Din exactly rem her at tt split moment. Oh well. I was lagging indeed. It's only quite a while later tt I suddenly recalled her to be one of the frequent performing piano players in Haising. How amazing that she cld reocgnise me eventhough we were total strangers back then. ^-^

One good piece of news:
My work span in HSBC is extended again! *haha* It's prolonged till the 31st of May. Tt means to say I cld remain a constant source of income flowing into my pockets. Yeah! But on a gloomier side, I'm getting more and more pressurized from my daily job assignments. There are jus too many unfinished tasks for me to finish..and it's nearly mission impossible for me to get rid all the incompletes to meet the cut-off times. More often then not, I've no choice but to sacrify a healthy lunching hour to clear whateva I've to clear, and end up going for late lunch. If I dun do so, I wld probably not be able to eat in peace. Although I cld easily ask my colleague to cover my work for me, I'm actually rather reluctant to do so...cos' I understand tt they also hav lotsa tasks at hand which are critical too. Anyway, I'm fine with a late lunching hr..am getting used to it already. ^-^

I suppose in jus no time, I gotta exceed my patience and.... oh well. I'm not going to imagine what I wld do next. Well..all things boils down to the word of ConTrol. No matter what, I've to C-O-N-T-R-O-L my temper and swallow my anger. Cos'..I dun hav a choice. Sad arh...? What to do?
He's my cousin.
I never know that it's a torture to teach tuition. To me, it's a pleasure to pass whatever knowledge I've to the kid I'm attending to. But that's provided if the kid is willing to lend me a listening ear and a heart to learn. Like a saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. I may be trying my best effort to explain to him the concept over and over again. However, shld he choose to switch his mind off, all my explanation will conveniently turn into a deaf ear. Goodness gracious. I'm truly at a loss of what I can do to get him learn. It's not that I'm monotonous and discouraging. I do adjust my lecturing tone such that it's livier and praise him whenever it's necessary. The results? He's still as blur and as careless as he cld be. Not once but a thousand and one times. *biG biG siGh* He told me he's tired. Well..hello? Am I not equally tired as well? I travelled to his place after work to give him tuition..and by the time I reached home(even if it's my dad who takes time off to fetch me), it's already 11 plus; And I've to wake up early in the morning the next day to work. So he told me he's tired? Oh please, cld there be a beta excuse? But but but do I hav a choice to giv him up?
No.
Cos'..
He's my cousin.
Anyway, I took early leave from work this morning and rushed to MJ. Phew! Luckily Clara, Jamie and I were in time for the exchange.
A total of 6 JCs were present for the exchange;
Hwa Chong JC
Meridian JC
Nanyang JC
Temesek JC
Serangoon JC
Yishun JC
Bascially, I'm pleased with my juniors' performance this afternoon. Great improvement had they shown but I'm certainly sure tt they've the calibre to do much much beta. Probably with less yet good and committed players cos' there were 94 members on stage for the exchange! Wow~ was like you know..a good lot of them. Heard that Ms Sia has not cut players..no doubt she will when time ripes..and tt's when she'll be everyone's wicked witch..Oh well. Does she hav a choice? Hope that those who lose their SYF seat will understand her feelings.=)
Needless to say, TJ is still the best band amongst all. They definitely hav a different goal from the rest of the bands here; which is to be the top JC band in Singapore. Tt explains why they outshine the 5 others easily. I suppose their target is RJ ba. Unfortunately, I learnt that both bands play similar choice piece; The chosen coincidentally, and tt RJ will be performing before TJ. Goodness gracious. Hard on TJ yeah? Hopefully they can realise their goal. =)
NYJ..somehow or rather, I gotta change my views abt this band which I used to join 2 yrs ago during PAE. NYJCB v blessed to hav a good conductor, Mr Adrian Chiang in place of the lousy tenene Mr XxX, so much so tt the band is starting to shine once again under his baton. As compared to the previous concert I heard from SCH, they'll sounded beta considering the fact tt they were without the alumni this afternoon. I've to say that NY is one of the tough competitors for MJ given tt she's performing jus before the latter. All the best to MJ!=)
I feel sad for YJ..same sentiments are shared among my juniors who heard them. Hope they'll not be demoralized from this meaningful exchange but instead, treat it as a good exposure for the band. Look forward to a beta performance from them on 5th May.
(Sth to gossip: Ms Sia actually told me tt YJ conductor, Mr Darren Sim is handsome. Is he?? Argh. I beg to differ. Wahaha ^-^)
A wonderful exchange really..I believe everyone there wld hav learnt something in one way or another. A great exposure for MJCSB cos' this is their first ever exchange. Am glad tt their standard is comparable to the rests. =D
Exchange is one thing. I also hav a good time patching up with juniors whom I havent seen for long and frens like Clara and Jamie.
Was di-lunch(din+lunch) with Benny and Fuquan, and realised tt I've missed the great great fun during their recent band camp. Esp. their self-created game - Dial M for Murder. Credit goes to Joel, Benny, Fuquan and Bao Lun who had come up with this creative game idea and had done up lotsa preparation for it. I learnt that they in fact took 2 full mths to prepare this major game. Things like creating the atmoshpere for the place where murder has taken place, coming up with various clues for instance, diary entries( for which all entries were hand-written by Joel, acting as if it's blogged by the victim),some photgraphs(real shots) of the victim's acquaintances and the air ticket(real) tt was once the victim's possession..also the autopsy etc. Sounds pretty interesting right? Am very proud that the four of them actually took great efforts and pain only to make the camp a success. They do it more for the band than for themselves. I thought their significant contribution is truly commendable. Isnt it so?
*Thumbs-up* pple!
Btw, heard that quite a no of pple has gotten letters from Uni abt their admission results. Why havent I? *sigh*

@3:08 PM
What a busy weekend! Was almost fully occupied with one activity after another. Needless to say, my so-called 'S 11'= $$ were also happily flying off my pockets.=/
Had a gathering which was booked way in advanced with my 310 mates on Sat at Popeye a.k.a our fav hangout during MJ days. And guess what? The coordinator- tt's me was late for the gathering(for heaven's sake)! SOo pai seh k..I actually overslept in the afternoon. If only I was disciplined enough to get out of bed at ard 4.40pm when I was awakened by Weiee and Rainbow's smses..oh well. Too bad I was not; too tired to pull myself out from the cosy mat. Thus at one point of time, my eyes were suddenly forced open and for no reason why, I woke up in a total shock. Probably tt's to signal me tt I was abt to be late for outing. True enough, a quick glance at the grandfather's clock tells me tt there's no time for me to waste cos' it's already 5.55pm! And Poh in fact msged me at 5.50pm asking me our meeting time. I wasnt even dressed by then! Goodness gracious. At the fastest speed I cld manage, I bathed, dressed and dashed to the bus-stop. Phew! Was in time for the bus. However, both of us were late still for the din by..20-25mins. Hee..*shy smile*
Upon queuing up to take orders, all of us were scrutinizing at the menu board when something struck me and Poh;
The cost of the 2-piece chicken set meal had risen by 60cents. Oh my goodness! The set meal used to cost us abt 5.85 plus if I din rem wrongly. Now it's like 6.45?! How long hav we not visited the fast food restuarant? They had actually added one more side dish to each sets (which explained the risen cost). Oh well. I wld seriously prefer them to start opening up more branches at neighbourhood areas than to raise the prices.=| In spite of that, I really enjoyed the crispy spicy chicken..which I gotta emphasize that it tasted soo much beta than the K initial restuarant. OopS ooPs. *whiSper* ---> I insists so. Yeah=D
Alrigh, tt's besides the point. So we all chit-chatted lotsa stuffs; school, Tv drama, bands..and of course, we spiced each topic with mountains of craps too; basically the fantasy tt is only shared among the 310 pple. Haa. Well..with yakky mates like the int'l WRM, how could we have missed some popular characters like the Sweet Candy Ju and fat Wong..Oops. I meant Wong ML. Jus a little note here; I've got to be prudent in what I wrote here esp when it concerns the int'l WRM cos' I might get sue anytime if I ever slip my tongue. *lol* Oh yeah. Cldnt believe that he went for a swim the day before. My reaction to him was like..you mean you know how to..or even bothers to swim?!! Goodness gracious. I'm evil I know. Haa. Alright..alright..tt's also good for him la. =D Healthy lifestyle is strongly recommended in modern times like this. ^-^ And I hav to praise Uncle Tong for his sharp eyes; fancy that he spotted someone who's wearing a 100% smiliar shirt to int'l WRM?! Wow..*arouse of applause* for Uncle Tong. It made Winter ultra embarrassed tt he din even know where to hide his head. Oh my..poor int'l WRM!!
****
Slept rather late on Sat night ard 2.30am cos' I was listening to Lee Hom's album for one solid hour! haa. Kept replaying his 'Forever Love'. The orchestration plus his manly voice is simply a perfect blend! =D
Hence, tt explains my insufficient rest which was brought forward to Sun, and eventually affected me today. Cos' I din rest bits yesterday at all!
Woke up early in the morning at 8 to go for a regular jog with Poh at Bedok Town park. Quite an achievement cos' we ran 2k++ which burnt a good no. of our accumulated calories from Popeye's yummy deep-fried chicken. However, to me, I thought our exercise was a total waste cos' on the same night, I hang out with my old old pals and ate Swensens' breaded Chicken for din. Haa. All my efforts went down to the drain in fact. But.. once in a while indulged in a good feast like this shld be fine ba..we need to pamper ourselves at times, don't we? Below is exactly my Sunday's schedule:
8.00-9.45am: Jogging
10.40-11.40am: Piano lesson
11.45-5pm: Travel to Jurong + Mus'art prac
5.05-10.00pm: Travel to Bugis + meet my old old pals- Hui Huang and Hui Hui
Hectic right? Well..as long as I enjoyed, I dun mind.
~* Abt the gathering *~
It's been a long while since I last saw Hui Huang and Hui Hui. All 3 of us are like 'Huis' family you know..hee. Both are really old frens of mine. As a matter-of fact, our relationship dated back to our Kindergarden days when we stayed very near to one another and therefore entered the same PAP branch. To be precise, I lived opposite their blocks. So we wld meet out frequently and play at the void deck..or visit one another's units to celeb birthdays. Rem me and Hui Huang used to shout across the carpark which separated our blocks and actually chit-chatted in that manner. How crazy we are, arent we? Those were the days..yeah. =D Ever since both pals moved to Sengkang and Hougang areas, my place there seemed quieter..well..of course I dun literally mean that the entire neighbourhood is less active. You know what I meant. =D Somehow or rather I do miss their presence at times.
When we gathered ard last night at Bugis, all three of us are already grown up into ladies and are currently working temp jobs while waiting for Uni. How time flies! The feelings of being ard with one another now are totally different from how I felt like in the past. Probably bcos we're more matured now. Well..definitely.
Below are some neoprints tt the 'Huis' family had taken.
And as per request by Weiee, I've posted the photos tt we took at Bee's bdae celebration. Enjoy! ^-^

Oh right man! Hai Sing Catholic Band clinched a GOLD medal for SYF 2005-Central Judging for Concert Bands! ^-^ *jUmp JuMp* Am v impressed with the band's fantastic performance on stage this evening at SCH. It was truly the bestest shot they've given amongst all their rehearsals, be it in the bandroom or in all the school band exchanges. Though I was only able to assess their playing occasionally, I was constantly being updated of their standard. There was once I tot I heard the band faring pretty bad at a major band exchange with 10 other schools; news like what..clar squeaked for countless times, band members were ultra nervous that they cldnt play properly...etc. It was no doubt a worrying sign you know..and I guess the bad experience had precisely led to their low self-esteem, and the tendency of doubting their own abilities. Oh well. =/
My presence may not be there at every of their band prac but my heart is always with them. Tt's why I die die wanna take leave today to watch them perform. No matter what happens, we seniors all love them. =D
***
Well..you couldnt imagine how tensed up all alumni members were when the MC announced the next order of appearance to be the 117th band- Hai Sing Catholic School. We were praying very hard tt everything- the intonation,technical skills, the balance and of course, the solos esp. trumpet wld be a smooth sailing one.
From the very moment we saw them walking to the stage, our sixth sense told us that it gotta be a fine performace; they entered the hall with confidence and pride. With that, half of the battle was already won. Followed by a good rounded tuning note. *thumbs up* And I've to say that of all the bands I've heard from four plus onwards, Haising's Singapore Rhapsody truly stood up from the rests. Even my MJ junior, Tim who actually sat through the entire PM session of the SYF agreeds with me that Haising's Rhapsody was played beta than the rests. I can't exactly explain how beta was beta. It just sounds different and unique- smooth is the term. As for our choice piece 'Decennum', I'll sum it up with a golden word from deep down inside my heart- excellent. However, the band probably lacks of some artistic expressions..for which I wld so-call the X-factor. If they cld achieve tt, it wld certainly be a plus plus point for the band..and who knows we might hav even hit the Honours standard. Cos' the thing is Haising band had already played relatively well; almost perfect I wld say. Tremendous improvement was made actually. Even the rehearsals they had in sch before setting of to SCH were incomparable to the actual playing itself. Am relieved and glad though I felt tt it's a little pity to brush past 'Honours.' Well.. it's perfectly fine really..am already satisfied that the band cld maintain a GOld medal for 3 consecutive SYF since 2001 when my batch first clinched the award. It's difficult to maintain such standard, needless to say, climbing higher up the ladders.
It's okay, we shall strive for a Gold with Honours two yrs later den.
Right now at this moment, I jus wanna say, "Well Done, Juniors!"
Btw, ConGras to AHband for achieving Gold with Honours! =)
To Crescent Girls' for tomorrow's SYF: Jiayous! And all the very besT!^-^

Today is my sensei Shah's last day at HSBC Tanglin. She sure has lotsa sentiments for tis branch..well..who doesnt; for pple like my sensei who has given her youth to the bank for close to 10 donkey yrs? Seeing her Rudolph's red nose upon receiving her farewell gift from my collegues, I feel like tearing too despite the fact that we know each other barely 2 mths. Gotta miss her companion, her beautiful smile, her teachings, her laughter, her sharings and most importantly her presence since she's someone who sits right opposite me! *sigh* She's one of the bestest sensei I ever hav and I really thanked her for everything. All the very best to her at SOC clearing..=D
Here, I gotta announce that I'm now an official avid-fan of idols. *Goodness Gracious* I've never dreamt of myself joining the everlasting queue outside Junction Eight only to catch tiny glimpses of Mr idols on stage. 1 hr 35 mins. Yeah. Tt's exactly the length of time I've spent standing outside the shopping centre, arousing passers-by attention and complaining the long waiting. Luckily, I've Rainbow and Poh Poh's company; we chit-chatted, listened to mp3 and took photos whilst queuing.=D Finally when it's time for us to move on to the open space at the third level of Junction 8 where the stage was located, we actually had some ironically uneducated students as well as a few uncultured adults happily cutting our queues right under our noses. Oh my goodness. How disheartening yeah?! What's the purpose of Singapore Education System then for heaven's sake?! *shakes head* Anyway, was already more than happy to hav such rare opportunity to watch Mayday's terrific performance on stage (FOC)which lasted for not 15mins(the duration tt we've initially predicted). Instead, an hour or so. ^-^ Tt truly makes the 1hr 35mins worthwhile. On top of that, we've fortunately perservered through. All thanks to Poh Poh who's not easily swayed by my alternative suggestion of catching a movie. I was den questioning our chances of even to squeeze into the space with what seemed like a hundred of fans ahead of us. Oh well. I've thought too much. Looking forward to Mayday's concert in Singapore sometime this yr when I cld HigH with enthusiastic audience in my vicinity! People at my neighbourhood last Sat were not active at all, making ardent audience like Poh, Rainbow and I stuck out from the crowd. *dots* Well..well, no more complains since I had seen Mr idols' handsome performance and listen to their wonderful manly voices! ^-^
Gotta miss our so-called Mus'art outing after Kelvin's departure to the Police Academy where he wld be confined for 10 days. Best of luck to him wor~ haa. The threesome- Kelvin, Xinhui and I dined at Cine basement foodcourt and as usual, chit-chatted lots last Sun. Supposed to catch Swing Girls at Cathay Pacific. To our dismay, we were not fated to watch the movie; there's no time slots for evening catch. *sigh* Well..it's okay it's alright. We compensated with a good din n sharings among us. On the train, Kelvin's sharing abt his childhood was soo interesting tt I was willing to miss my Eunos stop for Tamp's where we three alighted together. Haa. He can be a storyteller le. Right.. time flies when we dun count every min and sec. He'll be joining us abt 1-2 wks later and we can once again hav our regular rendezvous again!
Heard abt Mon's SYF results..was rather surprised to learn abt unpopular bands like Sembawang and Orchid Park to achieve Gold with Honours medal for the competition. Wonder how AH fare today..but I believe a Gold is not a prob to them at all. Btw, congras to NASS for once again, clinching a Gold medal for SYF!=D Well done, NASS!
Well.. Am rather worried for my beloved Haising. =/ Took a day's leave to watch them this Thurs. Hope my presence will be encouraging and not pressurizing. Am sure my juniors CAN do it only if they've confidence with their abilities and dun doubt themselves. All the very BeSt to them! =D Pray hard...
Oh yeah. It almost slipped off my mind to share with you a superb tenene experience. Was walking outside Tangs after lunching at Lucky Plaza with my colleague Cybelle, when we were approached by a familiar guy who's (oh my goodness), a thousand and one times intimidating! And guess who's that?! The infamous, out-of-his mind Steven Lim! The name doesnt ring a bell? What abt this: the yellow swimming trunk stripper in SG idol. Should know by now who I'm talking abt? Soo te-ne-ne alright?!! I was totally disgusted at his presence, but at the same time fearful of what he wld do in front of the two ladies here. His audacity at SG idol as well as the Channel 8 variety, the top entertainment night really made me speechless k..Those two incidents has clearly proven that he's not at all afraid of crowds and is daring enough to do anything that he wans to do. Tht's precisly why I was vigilant at his every movement just in case he's trying to be funny. Hey..I seriously suspect that he needs to consult a psychiatrist badly for that. He was den attempting very hard to promote his so-called fine eyebrow plucking skills with his eloquency (he talked like a machine gun alright?), saying what..10 bucks for a 5 mins' plucking service. How unbelievable k..5 mins? He possess magical powers is it? Goodness gracious. Frankly speaking, the moment he came to Cybelle and I, I was already feeling (unexplained) discomfort all over my body although I cldnt recall instantly his identity. Not till he showed us newsp articles that featured him as a 'top-notch' (eeekkkss!) celebrity and famous street eyebrow plucker. *triple dots* For first-class entertainment, you can visit his webbie at http://www.stevenlim.net. I assure you that you will direct your mouse to the X button on the top right hand corner of the page at the very sight of the striking yellow webpage. *eeeksssss!!!to the power of infinity*

Had a fruitful weekends!
When the clock struck 1300, I practically ran out of the bank, took a train and rushed home to pack my bag for the one-day sistaz chalet at Costa Sands. >_< Frankly speaking, it's actually a three-day-two-night stay at U11 chalet unit, but I sacrificed my first one and a half day of fun for the sake of work.*sigh* Well.. wanted to take leave initially. In spite of that, I controlled myself eventually cos' I wanna save my leave for other more critical purposes. -_- Yeah.
So there I went to the single-storeyed chalet where I joined the rests on the second day.
Played UNO cards, UNO heart attack and Stress (which really stressed me out for goodness sake. *laughs*)for a few hours before we attempted to start fire at around 6 plus in the evening. Due to the fact tt Rainbow and I were both first-timers in setting up the fire, we took quite awhile to settle at the right heat for BBQing the food. And I've to say that it's truly not easy for us to reach that peak. Why? Consider this: Not a single one of us hav any slightest idea of the proper procedures to set up the fire. Moreover, equipped with mere theoretical and verbalised knowledge, Rainbow and I had quite lousy confidence in the start-up. The chances of us succeeding was equivalent to nearly zero. Despite the negativities, we gave our bestest shot tt evening. With Hiddy and Ee Yan's help in laying the charcoals, we tried our best to direct the placement of the charcoals at proper spots so that our fire starters wld not go into waste. Of course along the way, we met with difficulties such as ambiguity as to whether we're on the right track to actually hav thick smoke tt evolved from the burnt charcoal like nobody's business. But we remained calm and brave through it. With my mom's assistance over the phone (cos' I called for 'help'. Haha.) and our chalet neighbour who actually expediate on the fire burning, we finally got everything set up proper and started cooking. Oh yeah. Really thank Yvonne for her commendable service by getting us drinks while we were working on the fire start-up. Arigato gozaimasu, Yvonne~ =D
Am on cloud nine to hav such a good achievement. So does Rainbow...=) cos' this is our most successful BBQ so far. =D Great experience for all of us too! And tt means to say tt no longer do we hav to rely on others to assist us in our fire start-up. We're independent! =P
Thought I was not going to sleep the entire night..however, my eyes finally gave way whilst I was watching 'The interview with Vampire' on Channel 5. Before I realised it, I was already in my la la land. When I woke up the next morning to learn about some who din catch a wink of sleep the previous night due to shortage of beds, guilt instantly seeped into my heart and soul. Felt really bad to incidentally occupy the entire single lower-deck bed the night before. So soory gals!!=/ Sumi-masen!! *haiX*
Anyway, below are some shots taken at the chalet: =D

How irritating! For twice I spent time and effot making blog entries and for twice I'm unlucky enough to hav all my bloodshed go down the drain at a click of the mouse. Arghhh. This is soo te-ne-ne!!! From now onwards, I'm going to save every now and then for fear tt history repeats itself. *goOdness graciOus*
Finally persuaded my lazy bones to go for a real exercise. *lol* Went for a jog with Poh Poh at Bedok Town Park last Sat..How glad I'm to find a wonderful jogmate whom I cld jog and chit-chat with at the same time! ^-^ Amazingly, we showed no signs of exhuastion at the end of the 2.0++ Km. Instead we were more refreshing and energetic than ever wor. Wow! Felt a good sense of achievements. =>
Went to mus'art on Sun as usual, and caught the Eye10 after that. Was reluctant to go for the latter at first considering the fact that I've to wake up early in the morning for work the next day. But well..eventually..I...succumbed to temptation. *laughs(shyly)* I've actually been wanting to watch the show due to its creative advertisement for which I rated 5 stars. =D It really broke the norm.
Read this- a frightening lady model who wore heavy eye shadows stood at the flight of steps in the underground tunnel tt links C.K Tangs and Shaw Towers. She was holding a black unbrella on one hand and notebooks for promotion on the other. With seemingly evil eyes which bored into yours, she approached surprised passers-by and handed them the notebooks with a feeble and shaky hand. Such a great hoo-ha had it created that even reporters were curious to check it out.
When I learnt abt the story from the horse's mouth (my manager who saw it for herself), I felt soo lucky all of a sudden to have given such interesting happening a miss. Do you know that her very presence had sent countless of kids screaming at the top of their voice and adults being scared off their wits(like my manager)?Fortunately I was not one of the victims else I cant imagine how I wld response to tt. Probably embarrass myself by signing a membership with the screaming gang. *phew*
Anyway, the movie itself wasn't as horrifying as the advertising figure (of course). I went to watch it with Xinhui and Kelvin at Jurong Entertainment Centre. Well..A rather funny and comical show which made me laugh my head off immediately at the start of the show. *haa* The scary part wld be how close the 10 ways are to the reality cos' to me, it all seems so real. One lesson I learnt from the movie- Curiosity really kills the cat. Another is not to play with fire.
Yesterday din with my pri sch mates; Shufen, Jenny and Phui Ling. Come to think of it, I do hav to agree that life is truly full of the unpredictables. The four of us were not even cliques in the past. Oh well..we did play with one another la but we were not very close then. In spite of tt, we actually become good friends now. Will treasure our frienship de. =D Mmm..so we dined at Pizza hut, and you wld be surprised that we actually took a River taxi ride to Clarke Quay! I swear that the latter was unplanned. We only happened to stroll along the Esplanade Dr when a uncle was promoting 3 bucks per ride at River Express ticketing counter to us. 3 dollars..hmm..we thought it sounded good and was worthwhile for a 7-8mins' ride on the boat. Very 'on' den, we made swift yet firm decision. Well..with Shufen around, we're sure good decision makers!*haha* The best thing was we're very lucky to have the boat ourselves! Crazy enough, we stood four in a line in front of the first seats (as if we're..F4?? Nononno..G4 to be exact a.k.a Girlspower 4. *lol* Lame!) and wave at the boats passing by! *haa* Okay la..I thought well..once in a while, it's perfectly fine to be wild to de-stress ourselves ya? Yeah..life is hectic at times. Below is a scan of my ticket. Keeping it as a souvenir! *hee*
Rightz..I gotta rest lest I cant wake up on time tmr..
Having a one-day chalet at Costa Sands this sat wor..Looking forward! ^-^
Oh yeah.
