Genting trip 09

Yo peeps!
Back from Genting!
Got LOTS of things to report.
Think I'll start on the day to Genting.

Wednesday, 25 November
Took a coach to Genting.
The coach was from Transtar Travel.
Called First Class Solitaire.
Super comfy (:
And WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON BOARD.
I'm not kidding, it's true.
Turns out that Genting needed more buses so they had to drive one up anyway.
And coincidentally we were going there too.
So the whole bus only served us.
(There was a waiter.
Cool huh?)
Also came with personal entertainment system :DD
Got movies wor~
Plus games~
And nice dramas~
And the names are...
Inkheart!
Mario!
BOYS OVER FLOWERS!!!
(I didn't watch BOF though cos where got enough time to watch whole series?!
And besides I only found out got the series when we were a few km away from SG on the way back -.-")
Yeah, watched Inkheart on the way.
Then watched Ayumi Hamasaki's concert :DD
(Anybody jealous?)
Reached Genting at around 2.
Then the stupid counter was at the tour part lor.
Super crowded.
Checked in at 4.
Diaoz waited for 2 hours to check in.
Stayed at First World deluxe room.
But the room was like damn small seh.
Practically had to crawl over the beds to reach the other side of the room.
Oh well.
Dumped luggage in the room then went to have lunch.
Lunch at 4+.
Strange thing was that I wasn't even hungry.
Probably cos I was feeling nauseous on the way up the mountain.
The driver was very fast and there were a lot of sharp bends...
Ate wonton soup.
Quite ok, but like everything else up there, it was ex.
Tourist attraction, what do you expect?
After lunch went to shop.
Bought:
1 hat
1 shirt
1 jacket
1 shorts
However since these items were branded so I spent quite a lot of money :X
Dinner was at Ah Yee's Abalone Restaurant.
I ate abalone, shark fin and bird's nest :DD

Thursday, 26 November
Bought an all park ticket.
Means that I can play in both the indoor and outdoor theme parks for unlimited time in a day.
Played bumper cars 3 times :D
And 1 of the roller coasters (I think it was called the Cyclone) 3 times :D
1 time tobaggan.
1 time go-kart (o.O minimum height 153cm... I'm 154)
1 time indoor ferris wheel.
Some pics from the ferris wheel:

1 time pirate ship.
Woah?
Hehe.
Basically spent the whole time playing.
Had yummy bak kut teh for dinner :)
And oh yeah, my uncle went up to Genting to visit me.

Friday, 27 November
Not really much.
Went to play Mario Kart on Nintendo Wii at a cyber cafe for an hour.
The rest of the morning was spent sleeping and eating breakfast.
Boarded the bus at 3.30.
And went home.
Etc. Etc.

Today, Saturday, 28 November
Nothing much today too.
Ate.
Practised piano a little.
Played DJ Max on my psp.
Read book.
Blogged.
Yeah.

Also took other pics of my trip.

But brought the wrong camera cable.

So will be uploading the rest tmr.

Also check out my facebook account for more pics.

Signing off.

Today went to school to do project.
We started doing the literature review today.
All in all we did more work today.
(:
I also obtained a lot of songs from the iTunes in the mac lab :D
And I mean a LOT of songs.
My memory card and thumbdrive are officially full.
:X
Oh yeah, we also met Nicole today in school.
Turns out she had choir camp.
Cool...
But she didn't bring my souvenir cos she didn't know I was going to be in school.
:(
Guess I'll just have to get it from her the next time.
~xCalz

Just to blog about these few days.
On Friday met up with Juliet, ML and SC to do project.
Again.
And while we did do some research, we also slacked.
Again.
Just like what Juliet said, it's hard to concentrate on project in school.
For some reason.
Watched SS501's mv (which was so damn cool! The 1 with Hyun Joong as a baddie), Vampire Knight and Fruits Basket episodes.
Yeah, slacking alright.
*Guilty expression*
Then went for piano lesson.
Almost reaching the end of my first exam piece liao.
Yippee!
Can get started on the second soon!
I hope.
At night went to Giant at Tampines to eat dinner, and also cos Shunhui Korkor wanted to buy Christmas stuff.
Ate grilled dory fish spaghetti, and it sucked.
Eesh, the fish was darn hard...
Waited for 5 whole minutes just to eat a stone-like fish.
Wonder if the person overcooked it...
The sauce was also over-extra.
I mean, the real way to eat dory fish is to put as little dressing as possible.
So as not to cover up the taste of the fish.
Well, the sauce covered up the fish alright.
At least the spaghetti wasn't too bad.
And the price was darn ex...
Terrible experience.
My first time at Giant...
Kinda like NTUC seh...
Saw some cool animes though...

Vampire Knight! :DD
(Kaiyi, ML, SC and/or Nicole, wanna buy?)
Sorry for the reflection, though...
Also saw lots of cute soft toys...
Christmas mah, so adults generally will buy stuff for kids.
So Giant took advantage and stocked lots of toys.
Even Elsie and Chloe wanted too *grins*
Then spent the rest of the time there checking the movies and whatnot Giant stocked...
Felt like buying The Eye.
Haha, we were too scared to watch that movie...
But for the sake of our poor hearts (or is it just mine?) I didn't buy...
:P
Saturday went to my mum's shop cos my nanny wanted to dye her hair...
Also brought along the library books since I wanna take advantage of the bigger library...
And while I did get some books that were not available at the libraries near my house, there were some that were the same...
Oh yeah, also went to OG shop shop.
Bought this real cute t-shirt of two teddy bears drinking milkshake or smoothie (can't really tell!).
Cost $12.90.
Damn cute, so worth it.
Also bought a pair of grey shorts with cute buttons.
Grey's not really my colour I know, but when I first saw the shorts I was like, I'm so gonna get that.
So I got it.
$19.
Then went to Bugis Street.
Was a bustling place...
Perhaps due to it being a Saturday.
Saw this shop selling oh-so-chic clothes...
But too bad, didn't get a chance to check it out.
While I do like the clothes, somehow I don't think SC would like them...
But can still check it out, since the place does sell rather modern clothes...
(Read this, Juliet, and grab SC NOW!)
After that went to Parkway cos Shunhui Korkor still didn't get his stuff...
He said that that was the only Giant shop that he hadn't visited.
Woots.
Also checked out the entertainment section again, but more or less the same as the Tampines branch...
Only with even older animes.
Dots.
I wasn't too interested in walking in a supermarket, so I headed to the TimeZone upstairs...
Which wasn't as fun as I thought.
Got killed quickly in Time Crisis...
Even faster than normal.
Made the mistake of choosing Advanced track on the Daytona USA...
And lost before I even finished the race.
That branch didn't have the usual percussion game that I played, so I chose the machine that was similar to Hougang's...
And accidentally pressed the wrong track.
Failed 2 rounds out of 3.
Wonder if Juliet's gonna kill me...
With her DJ Max skills, think she's gonna fare better than me...
Saw Guitar Hero Arcade though.
Looked cool, but I didn't try that game.
I mean, I usually fared terribly playing the Wii version at home, seriously I was going to die if I played that.
Oh well...
So that was about it.
Drank Koi bubble tea afterwards.
Took the Passion Fruit 1 with jelly.
Then went home.
Reached home at about 10.50.
So I think I going off, since this is a veeerrry looonng post.

P.S. Updated Christmas wish list:
The cute little The Dog/The Cat cup + plushie from Giant!
I really want: 2) Poodle, 4) Beagle, 6) French Bulldog or any The Cat cup, esp 12)PERSIAN!!

On Wed we celebrated Weiyi's birthday.
(Well, actually her birthday was Tues.)
They actually came my house to celebrate.
By 'they' I mean Juliet, ML, and SC.
Then we played Uno Attack, Stress, Juliet's psp (cos mine wasn't compatible with hers) and Monopoly.
Had tons of fun XD
Guess birthday girl has luck, since Weiyi kept winning at Stress and Monopoly.
Then me as host kept losing :XX
Oh well.
And we forgot to eat the marshmallows we bought :X
So...
Friday lor.
-------------------------------------------
Today, Thursday, 19 November

Went to watch 2012 with DM, QP and Char Pong at J8(:
Movie was ok, with cool special effects.
A bit touching, but some other movies were better.
Plot was half-believable.
And movie was super-lengthy.
Supposedly 157 minutes, and we watched the 2.30 show.
Came out at 5.30.
Partly must be the big amount of ads.
GV must be making serious bucks.
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.
Better shows: Grudge 2, Haeundae.
But we had a lot of fun and talked a lot.
Ate a very yummy lunch: Kaarage Ramen :D
Yum yum.
Hope we can watch New Moon soon!
~xCalz
P.S. Christmas wishes:
-PSP games! Haven't got a single one :X
Wonder if there's a PSP Mario?
&& want DJ Max!
-A bracelet/anklet.
Jewellery lover here.
-That music box saw in Mini Toons.
-A cute bear from Mini Toons too?

BBQ Chalet Trip 01/11/09

Ahh, finally the long overdue post of the chalet trip.
Charmaine (Pong) invited me, Dong Mei, Qiao Pei, Shi-Hui and Cassandra (Foo) to a chalet trip after school ended for the year.
Kinda like celebrating the start of holidays.
So then, we went to Aloha @ Pasir Ris on first of November!
:DD
Met DM they all at Hougang Interchange and took a bus there (forgot bus number, kindly refer to DM and/or QP and/or Cass Foo's blog to check) to Pasir Ris.
Then took a shuttle bus to Aloha at around Pasir Ris MRT.
DM, QP and Cass Foo bought bubble teas on the way.
Me? A bottle of orange juice.
Healthy me :D
Haha...
Flattering myself here...
Oh whatever.
Then when we finally reached there (at near 5), some of Timothy's friends had arrived.
Whatever.
They were just extremely dumb boys (which we bombed later with water bombs, boys versus girls. I'll get to that later).
So then we went up to Char's bedroom on the second floor.
Just sat around, chatting, exchanging songs and school life.
Y'know, catching up on one another's lives since we go to different secondary schools now.
Just for the record:
Me - Anderson
DM - Bowen
QP and Char Pong - North Vista
S-H and Cass Foo - Zhonghua
Lucky QP and Char Pong, S-H and Cass Foo!
They've got company (among close friends)!
Gah.
Anyway, back on topic.
Then someone started to secretly take pics...
I think was QP...
Then kinda started on the 'Photo War'.
Pretty funny, if you ask me.
And crazy too.
After a while we went to the beach.
It was like 6 already, so it was windy and salty and nice.
No pretty sunset pictures though, it was a cloudy day :(
But I did take a few photos of the sea and the sun.
Mostly we had lots of fun scrawling on the sand.
Wrote messages to depict our friendship.
And of the life we are having now.
Also took group photos, but not with my phone so I gotta rip off later.
Ahh...
Finally at 7 plus we started the BBQ.
Okay, not really 'we'.
It was mostly Char's dad who did the barbecue-ing.
Some of us fanned the flames.
But mostly we indulged in the delicious sotong and fish and chicken wings :DD
Okay, conscience here: *guilty expression*
And then we ate and we ate and we gluttoned ourselves.
(Well, just kidding. The ones who really were gluttoning were me and DM :X)
Too delicious for words.
And now... For the big fun!
We went upstairs after the meal and made water bombs.
First round: Girls vs. Girls (divided into 2 groups. Don't really remember who vs who, but should be me and DM and Char Pong and her cousin vs QP and S-H and Cass Foo and another cousin)
Second and third round: Girls vs. Boys.
Damn, didn't get a good shot on Timothy, that obnoxious brother of Char.
But we had a lot of fun (:
However, we spent too long there, and had to be driven home by S-H's dad.
Meanwhile exchanged a lot of stuff before her dad came.
And talked a lot on the car.
Haha...
But it was a very shiok evening.
(:
Hope we can have another outing soon!
~xCalz
P.S. Here's the photos took on that day. Via Facebook.

P.P.S. Ironically, one of Char's cousin was Juniper Thang from 1/2. Coincidence of coincidences. Anyone know her?

Finally, cyber's over.
Unfortunately, I still have to go back to school.
Tmr have SRP research to do.
Sigh...
Cannot sleep in...
(Lazy pig here! :DD)
Oh well.
I really have been very lazy these few weeks.
Haven't been doing much homework.
:P
Haha.
Looks like I'll end up doing homework in December after all.
Sigh.
Yawn...
Feel like sleeping now.
Oh yeah, did anyone notice the date 2 days ago?
Friday the thirteenth?
People say it's unlucky...
But I think managing to do most of the mission given to us is pretty amazing.
Starting to change my opinion of Fri the 13th...
I find that my posts are like getting crappier and shorter.
Like I've got nothing to say.
Because I really got nothing to say.
:X
So I'm signing off.
