ah... i finally gotten all the pics for my orientation camp. thanks ah gong for compiling them. camp insinyur was the one and only camp that i attended in ntu. I totally do not regret gg. it was the best camp i attended. 7days it was but time flew by.

Let me start with day 1,

DAY 1- The Journey Begins... Ice breakers

Met my roomie at Jurong East station and we took train to Boon Lay to meet our groups. I am in Sauron while she was in Salrumun( i dunno how to spell haha). the GLs brought us to our respective group and we self intro ourselves. Then we went to Macs to eat break first. After tt is back to NTU...

At NTU, we went to the hall to play some ice breakers... very common games but still fun. at that point i still cant rmb everyone's name. lol.

After all these games, we proceed to our knowing the campus games.

The day ended with supposedly some candle fight, but apparently it started raining heavily so we didnt play.

i shall post till here. i gg out and i am gg to be late AGAIN. i realised i have never been early nowadays. I shld go reflect. lol. I will post day 2 onwards tonight when i get back.

uni has finally started. i am so thankful i went for orientation camp man. i really cant imagine myself gg lect and tutorials alone. things have been gg rather smoothly. away from home is indeed fun but bad for health. since mon i have been gg out every night till 12plus. lucky got my new found buddy jolyn, edward and dhika to pei me, cant imagine spending my time in the room. i cant believe i have been sick for 5 days le. must be because of the late nights and the early breakfast. man! i am so gg to slp till 2pm tmr. haha. i cant wait for the camp pics!!! i am soooo gg to develop them.

i am seriously starting to love this place and the pple. made really great friends. i will neva regret coming here. haha

It has been a really long time since I blogged. So many things happening now... I finally stopped working, very reluctant to leave but I believe it is time to move on. After working exactly 7 months, I realised SPH has become a part of me. I miss everyone there, the really nice perms: Grace (Shi Fu), Wilson (Ah Pao), Maria, Farah and Priya. They have really been really nice to me. I would like to thank them personally.

Shi Fu, she taught me everything, I always bug her and disturb her with weird questions. She always patiently explain everything to me, answer all my stupid questions. Shi Fu always entertain me and LM. Haiz... I miss Shi Fu.

Then there is Ah Pao, wad are we gg to do if he wasnt ard. He always help us handle all our nasty sub. Whenever I am lazy to listen to the subs, he always help me tok to them. we often throw nasty cases to him and he help us settle. AH PAO rox sia! haha

Of cos, there is Maria. She is really very motherly. We LOVE her sia!. haha. she very funny too haha. I rmb 13 June happens to fall on a Friday, then LM said omg Friday The 13th. Then i repeated after her and Maria heard. after tt, we keep getting difficult calls, she jokingly blamed me for saying Friday The 13th. haha. really it was LM who said it. not me sia.

Farah and Priya are really great pple. Farah super funny. Although i only know her abt one to two months, but she is someone I will never forget for the rest of my life. She is fun and entertaining, never fails to bring a smile to our faces. Farah, I will miss you! Priya... Thanks for always letting me transfer the STI and BTO calls to you, honestly i have no idea wad those pple were toking abt. haha.

I will never forget my first job- SPH

Not to forget all the temps that I got to know, when i first came in. got to know Jia Jia, Emelyn, Wei Lun and Daniel. Jia Jia must be studying for A level now. Must Jia You! Emelyn is currently studying in Australia. Although we seemed to have lost touch, but i believe one day we will meet again and until then we will catch up on those CS days. haha. Wei Lun, i still keep in contact, he damn pro, gg to coloumbia university in New York on scholarship! Wow!

Many temps come and go, there's Hui Qi, Geraldyne, Suzanna, James and Hou Shun. Hou Shun xue zhang! cant believe he also from NY. my super senior. haha. he very nice, always help us put plates, open door and all. he has further proven that NY guys are quite gentlemen. haha

Of course, our clique, Yong Hua *YH, Wei Kang *WK, and my jie meis Eileen *EP, Lean May *LM and jac. I will always never forget our drinking sessions and chalet! Oh ya, I haven uploaded our cool pics. haha.

i have finally come out of my hiding. too many things have happened lately and none of them are good. i was recuperating from the lost of someone whom i loved dearly. he watched me grow up and care for me all these years. why do u have to leave me?!?! pple around me tells me that this is part and parcel of life. we all knew this will happen sooner or later, the doctors have gave up saying there is nothing that can fight against old age but then... my heart ached when i saw him lying in the coffin. the tear were uncontrollable throughout the funeral. but now, everything is over. i must let go for him to go in peace. grandpa, i will be strong and happy. i will cry no more. i will take care of myself. i will love you forever.

i am feeling very upset... have u ever been so sick tt u think u will just die tmr... some pple just dun get it, i am stressed, i know u are too. why the heck do u have to flare up at me. if today is my last day on earth, i bet u will regret, so stop threatening me. u think i do not feel anything? all these while, u are the one who put me on the rollar coaster. i think some day i will go mad seriously. sometimes u treat me so well, and when i reciprocate, u tell the whole world. i have pride, i dun need the world to do what i do for u. so pls stop embarrassing me. i am already damn pissed that u tell ur frens my results. i dun even disclose to my frens until they force it out of me. some pple even use it to rub salt to the wound. some of ur frens arent nice. just because some of them pretend to support u when... doesnt mean u have to tell them everything. i have a long list of examples of them being selfish and keeping stuff from u. wadever it is, no matter how much good you meant. let me heal... i need time, a 15yr scar wun heal that fast. but for now, i need all the strength to recover and go on. i am really tired...

Had dinners with the gals at NYDC. wow the pasta is SSOOOOO nice!!! omg!

Guess who we met there???

Elmo and cookie monster, so scandalous!!! caught them on a hot date... wonder why is everyone ard me becoming more and more scandalous. haha

Suspect No.1 caught celebrating with calina is Bernie aka Barney the purple dinosaur. so honored to have barney celebrate bday for me. too bad barney dun know who to sing happy bday. so my bday song was replaced with "I love you, you love me, let's....."

Suspect No. 2: Dressed in blue, looking ever so hot!! Jacynth Lee. my jie mei for 13 yrs!!!

Suspect No. 3: finally on time de Zoe!!! for once she came on time. this calls for a celebration!!! haha

All 3 suspects rounded up. but one got away. Theresa Loh is too sneaky to be caught on film. well let's imagine her k? She wears a apple green off shoulders top, blue jeans, curly hair let down, perfectly dolled up, dress to kill. hahahaha.

some pps may wonder where is their gift for me right? haha, well they gave me something i cannot show u. but can give hint.

Hint 1: something that is worn to the beach

Hint 2: it is 2 piece

Hint 3: i will not wear it out.

I think it is obvious enough, well it is believe to have another gift, but mysterious theresa must have hidden the loot(my present) somewhere. this calls for a treasure hunt. haha

The day after 15 Feb:

The celebration continues, went Kbox with jac, leen, yh, wilson, shi fu, ahmina. aft which met su and wk for dinner. then we went to TIMBRE!!!

this photo looks so dark, but there is obviously a glass of beer in front of me, haha. BUT it is NOT mine. borrowed from wilson for this photo. below is evidence i didn't drink. pls read on...

look at Eileen's and Yong Hua's faces, both red, mine neh, normal colour. so i never DRINK. haha ordered a cranberry juice and shared with suzanna. dunno why the juice turned bitter aft a while.

Sunday 17 Feb
Watched ah long with the gang, super funny sia, laugh until like crazy. haha then we went airport T3 to tour.

Spotted this fan like structure, was so amazed, dragged eileen take pic with me. hahahaha

this is actually a layout of the whole terminal, a shot that cannot be missed. GROUP PHOTO!

the sky train really looks like the normal mrt train, but was just too amused, so took more pics

Yong Hua said we could easily take this photo in an mrt train, but who cares, this is the sky train travelling from T1 to T3.
