Playing sports at the mall?

2010-03-15T22:34:00.030+08:00

Yes, you can! At Velocity, The Dedicated Sports Mall!

As we all realise the importance of balancing a leisure and sporty lifestyle, Velocity is here to inject more sportiness in all of us! They have a multi-purpose court right in front of their mall (you definitely can't miss it!), where sporting events can be held and for the public to hold basketball sessions. There are also soccer game tables, a caged basketball court and a Nintendo Wii station (great for those who love gaming and sports)!

The type of sports that is mostly played at Velocity, and is popular among Singaporeans, is BASKETBALL. It's a game about speed, accuracy..

..beating your opponents and eventually emerging VICTORIOUS after the match!

That said, most importantly, however, it upholds the spirit of teamwork. (Of course you can't possibly win the game all by yourself!)

Engaging in sports helps us to cultivate good values, such as helping one another out when we fall;

encouraging your teammates when they face a setback;

never giving up halfway and persevering till the end of the match;

daring to take up the challenge when it comes your way;

and you'll find that miracles do happen, 'cos you created them out of hard work!

Always remember to appreciate the team's efforts! Give them a pat on their back, and applaud them for their great job!

Winning isn't the ultimate goal of the game, it's enjoying the entire game process that matters..

..and definitely keeping the passion for sports alive within you!

It's never too late to take up a sport, and girls are definitely welcome to sweat it out too! So after your sports session on the court, it's time for some shopping therapy in the mall! (as currently you can help to support Adam Kamis, local athlete with disabilities, in his athletic pursuits as part of the Velocity GIVES movement)

There's just so much that sports can give you, and you too can contribute to sports as well! ♥

More than just a phone

2008-08-06T23:16:00.009+08:00

I wish I wish upon a star, for Samsung Omnia to be mine.

In a battle, the sword is the weapon; for a writer, the pen is his tool. In this modern era, the handphone is the weapon. It's not just any type of weapon that will suit the beholder, but only the ULTIMATE one that can do it all - Samsung Omnia.

I fell in love with Samsung Omnia at first sight. Its slick appearance had my eyes glued to its beauty. I went on further to explore the Omnia and discovered many other personalities that drew me closer to it. What I like most is the Omnia's touchscreen feature. With its TouchWiz UI, I can slide my fingers all over this pretty device. So if I happen to lose my phone and need to confirm with the police that I'm the owner, they can verify my fingerprints on it.

A handphone is no longer just a simple gadget for you to make calls and SMS. Nowadays it's much more than a phone. Having a 5-megapixel camera ups the phone's wow factor. And for camera buffs like me who snaps photos here and there causing others to be blinded by the flashes, a camera phone is a must!

Connectivity with the Omnia is a boon for those who travel around. Equipped with GPS and Wi-Fi, the Omnia allows its user to navigate their way easily and also surf the Net at the touch of a button with no cost!

With so many features packed in a 112 x 56.9 x 12.5mm phone, it's no wonder that it is priced at the steeper end. But as they always say, good things are worth every cent of the money.

If you really can't wait to own this device after you have read my blog entry, try to get your hands and fingers on it at http://www.samsungmobileblog.com.sg/ And for a little entertainment...Tech Smackdown

Uber cool gadget

Orange pple everywhere!

2008-08-06T19:05:00.004+08:00

Mon: collected MNE2 tix won from xin.sg and Mitsubishi fan!

Tue: NUS flag day! very excited abt e idea of having flag day. My orientation grp Quillfish was posted to Lavender. after we had our lunch, we split off to collect donations. there's hardly anybody there at all. we walked further to an overhead bridge and stopped there. huiqi and hai stood at one end of the bridge so i crossed over to the other side and went to another bridge.

the human traffic there is nt as many as compared to e mrt station. but maybe its cos of dis and tts y i get to chat wif some pple:

- a retired old man saying he had no $ started telling me abt the past..how those in e education industry gt killed by the Jap during world war, the cost of a plate of noodles etc. he mentioned tt he had 7 children but only spoke of 1 who gave him monthly allowance.

- another old man who claims tt he doesn't donate to pple who carry tin cans but gave money to charities on a monthly basis. thinking tt it may be the NKF/Ren Ci saga tt is bothering him, i mentioned tt these 2 were nt under our list of beneficiaries. he said he knew tt but just tt he doesn't donate and knew tt im nt lying to him.

- a skincare pdt promoter

it's true tt u get to see diff reactions of pple during flag day. some who totally kept an expressionless face acting as if they were deaf, some who politely refused, some who donated upon being asked, some who readily donated without being asked. there were pple whom i see walking past me at least twice, perhaps going to and coming back from lunch at e opposite side and others whom i duno wad they were doing. i asked everyone past caring whether i had asked them before or nt. was very happy when some reacted to my determination and donated!

at 2pm i met up wif huiqi and hai and realised my tin can was much lighter than theirs. huiqi told me e tourists were very much willing to donate. lucky them! i was determined to get more donations so i continued to ask for more. haha huiqi even donated $1+ to me! (i knw u r touched by my perseverance!)

arnd 3pm we walked back to lavendar mrt station and took e train to NUS. we returned our tin cans and went to Mac to munch! so ended up huiqi and i ate and talked crap dere until 6pm.

it was a very fulfilling day!

-pic of flag day-

met up wif mum at the Cathay to watch Journey to the Centre of the Earth. won the tix frm HIP Alliance. there were so many pple at e cinema. we got back row seats! ordered chicken baked rice and fish baked rice. some improvements cld be made to e rice as it was abit uncooked. the movie screening time was short and it was ok to me. i think i expected more adventure from it.

ricola held four roadshows over the past two saturdays to promote their twin pack of sweets and i went to the one held at great world city on sat. whn i reached dere, dere was alr a queue waiting to play the game. pple are so willing to buy 8 packs at a go to try their hand at e game to win instant cash of $50 for each game. afterwhich they will get 8 coupons for a lucky draw to win a Pentax camera. im eyeing the camera of course. bought only 2 packs so chances are slim. though i still hope to win but lady luck is not with me. why do cameras always flash by my side? when do i get to own one? grandma was so supportive tt she offered to buy more packs for me. (: if only i had won den both of us, and my mum wld b v happy.

Pa, i know it must be tiring to go through the same routine everyday and all u had ever wanted are the simple pleasures in life. thanks for all the little snacks and meals!

what happened to the food?!

2008-06-09T23:43:00.006+08:00

We got into Brand's Sudoku Challenge!!

went to Whampoa hawker centre for dinner and we ate fishhead hotpot. no fishhead in sight leh. maybe its just used for boiling the soup.

Sat: took the SAT test in e mrn. i didnt expect so many pple to be taking it. revised for it only just yday and didnt try out sample test papers under test conditions. so whn i was taking e test (10 sections in all!) there was no time. nt much time to think so its either u knw or duno. i reckon maybe i will be the first to get e lowest scores ever.
went to Sakura for buffet. they had cadbury choc! e food didnt taste tt good. ate at toa payoh before and it tasted much better.

UEFA EURO 2008 kicks off!

Sun: bought elmo toy at Funan. we saw e thai embassy holding an event so went there to tke a look. there were mostly stalls selling accessories and food. bought pad thai and some green bean kueh shaped to lk lyk fruits. e kueh was nt nice though. after tt went to BK to use up some vouchers. e Whopper was nt nice too! e meat seemed uncooked and e fries almost tasteless. im going to settle for finger fd nxt time unless im really hungry. lucky we went to thomson plaza for supermarket shopping! i just love e supermarket!

a booklet of 20 BK vouchers

Saturday's 张栋梁's concert was not v high. maybe its due to e concert area or e hot weather. e fans werent screaming v loudly and nt many bought light sticks. but e booths outside e hall selling merchandise did have many supporters. was tempted to buy e doll frm his idol drama Smiling Pasta but resisted it eventually. 20 bucks leh!

at first e tix dey gave me was e $68 range de. den ltr seems tt dey purposely gave tt so tt dey can sell off e $98 tix. wth. lucky change my tix if nt i sit all e way back last row.

after e concert, there were boxes of Munchy's mini biscuits on e tables and giving out of WanBao papers for free. whn i came out there were no biscuits left and i saw two grps of pple each stuffing at least 10 packs into a plastic bag! omg! its nt as if their grp consisted of 10 pple. the organisers shld haf allocated helpers to give away e biscuits. (managed to 'gope' one!)

The BI8 Idea

2008-05-25T23:03:00.002+08:00

Sat: attended NTU's tea party at Marriott. e prof gave a short briefing and then all headed to the refreshments. (we all cant wait for fooOOd!) duno why out of nowhere a queue started to form. a straight long queue. we could have just formed a circle round the table and tke e food instead of being so oriented. as we sat dwn e prof came to ask whether we had any questions. then another lecturer asked tt as well. seems lyk they are trying hard to get students to tke up their courses. tea party at marriott leh!

after some discussion and eating, we walked down the streets of Orchard. saw SMU samba grp performing to get donations for their trip to Ireland. they played real nice. rhythm in sync and all. their leader is e most enthu one. he plays wif great body movements. maybe i can consider joining samba as cca. den i get to repeatedly play constant set of beats for e whole song..probably on e cowbell. try to get high myself.

headed on to The BI8 Idea! This carnival organised by i-Weekly and 8Days was held over the weekend at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. I reminded mum tt by subscribing to either i-Weekly or 8Days can get freebies lyk the OTO Massager. with my persuasion skills (as if) i subscribed to 8Days! we got the massager and blender. great subscription deal i wld say. 52 issues for a yr!

Sun: went back to the carnival for e Scan n Win. tried to mke it for e 3pm slot tt ended at 4pm but dey stopped e queue just right in front of me. ended up i waited until 5pm for my turn. tay ping hui was e guest at tt time and he went to e booth and helped e first few in line to scan. he scanned for me a L'Oreal toner! lol. there goes my Europe trip! there were cameramen taking photo of us. er isit going to appear in e news nt? cos if it is, i shld haf worn smth nicer. as i type this out i suddenly thot of magazine! most prob it will turn up on 8Days. oh and i witnessed smth tt lk lyk great acting by an old woman and a young lady. who both created a scene and tried to wriggle their way into e queue. i can understand the old woman's actions but why even e young lady do tt as well?

an event tt requires queuing up made me realise 1 fact: elderly pple who got nothing to do will go all around e island and queue queue queue. maybe one day whn i retire i will tke tt up as my job.

Graduation!

2008-05-21T23:00:00.013+08:00

today marks the official graduation day for me! last nite turned in way way earlier than usual so tt i get enough slp. end up confused for the first few hrs as to whether i was sleeping or nt. turned up late but the grad started late! it was v boring. first were speeches (i did listen attentively) then the certificate giving. and we had to do a survey asking abt our employment. im going for further studies so did not nid to fill up everything!

before going up stage, the teachers will check our attire and help us adjust. they were v kind and polite along e way, saying congratulations. when it was my turn, i couldnt rmb whether e mc did call out my name, couldnt feel tt i was walking with my feet at all (it was more of floating), and duno at wad speed i was walking at cos i didnt feel i was walking! i could onli see e guest of honour smiling to me and before i knew it i was shaking hands with her, receiving my cert and my photo was taken. oh gosh! after tt was singing of The Flame (song for Sydney 2006 Olympics) by 4 juniors. its v hot wearing the robe but v glad tt irene came!

the photos were damn ex ok! $5 for 2 standalone pieces. $25 with the photo booklet stating only course name (forgot whether gt date nt). $50 with the photo booklet stating own name, course name, and date. see e diff!

irene: thanks for the lovely flowers!

#1 B&J flavour unveiled: Fossil Fuel!

Omnivore? Herbivore? No, Carnivore!

2008-05-19T00:01:00.004+08:00

today went to vivo to collect Dragon Brand bird nest and B&J pints. There's nobody at the bird nest bar! the location is too isolated. we walked round and round and round lvl 1 before we found it. vivo is like a maze man! then went Giant and bought pasta. want me to cook lor! so better dun say anything if nt nice.

the bag

the box

the bird nest!

dinner was at Carnivore. No seats were available so we had to sit the high chairs. first up the waiter will explain how they serve the meat and everything then came the appetizer. cheese bread with sauces for the pork (with vegetable cubes) and beef/lamb (use it if u find the meat is too oily? tts wad the waiter said). the variety of free-flow food was very little. there was a dish tt looked lyk fried rice cos of the tiny white bits but its actually a mixture of beans and other things. i learned a new dish today - palm heart. mum asked e waiter and he said plant heart? couldnt hear clearly frm his brazilian accent. it tasted abit sour and chewy. in fact i think it tasted lyk button mushroom. there was also choc fondue.

how Carnivore works is tt e chefs will walk around every table and ask whether you want tt particular meat he is holding. they have alot of meat types! such as pork sausage, chicken sausage, glazed ham, beef, pork shoulder, lamb, chicken, chicken heart..ahhh i cant rmb all e body parts! the meat came so fast tt i have no time to eat one after the other. ended up all turned cold. anyway the price is qte ex but u get to dine in an air-con place watching the sea view. plus listen to the brazilian music.

after dinner we collected the ice-cream! i get to choose what flavours i want! cool! finally know what are mints. and i thought im going to get 3 boxes. lol.

what flavours did i choose? - to be revealed..

the mints!

the postman came knocking at my door on sat. but i was sleeping and didnt open it! i've been pondering over what package i have received. aiyah. now i have to wait after vesak day. i seriously think postmen use v little strength to knock doors. the previous time i was sleeping also den i could only hear faint knocks.

during e wkends we entered our sudoku entries! it seems easier than last yr. we're going to break into the finals tgr this yr!! imagine the glory, the satisfaction, the cash..

received the Asiaone voucher yday. ohh cant choose my combinations of bird nest. they alr stated which type. nevertheless im giving it to my mum still!

my pasta mania experience sucks big time today. i wanted to tke part in their lucky draw so went there for dinner. after order, the cashier did not give me a lucky draw form. she said i used the free drink coupon (given the previous time) and if coupon is used cannot get a stamp cos its bundled with the main course. so tt means the coupon strike off the main course ordered. omg. somemore she said she alr give an extra stamp. sounds like im supposed to be grateful to her. and the draw is not valid with other promotions/offers. so they consider the reward card as a promotion?! the other cashier interrupted and also joined her in explaining. must he be so defensive? i was not even using a harsh tone. wth.

at least e happy thing is i bought a mouse! its v painful to use the scroll pad on the laptop. im someone who can feel electric currents. the mouse is cheap!!

Singtel is going to release the iPhone later this year! official at last!

when u go to an arcade or carnival, the prizes that were given away are usually stuffed toys. the question is: why stuffed toys? it's alright if they are cute or cuddly but i hate those types with rough and ugly fur that is not nice to touch. or those tt are supposed to be replicas of cartoon characters yet they dont look so much the same as the original ones.

however today i read in the news that a game arcade in osaka is giving away cakes as prizes. novelty idea to offer food but it's not stated how many tokens to exchange for one cake.

the greatest love of all

saturday was early mother's day celebration with relatives at village wok restaurant. the restaurant although small, seemed to have a long history (purely based on a black-and-white photograph of an elderly couple and the fact that it is a chi restaurant. haha.) we had the ala carte buffet dinner and those dishes which came with sauces mostly were XO sauce. its their homemade recipe and they gave 4 small bottles and a hamper with kaya etc as a gift.

Sunday: while waiting to collect mother's day goodie bag, i wanted to use my Mcdonalds reward pts to buy breakfast. i didnt realise until today tt the pts i painstakingly accumulated can only be exchanged for single entrees. 300 pts for a sausage egg mcmuffin = $60 (every $1=5 pts) tts sky-high price for a burger! but maybe arent supposed to calculate in this way.

took my ID-sized photograph at the instand photo booth. the machine was spoilt so i dialled the number indicated on the screen. and after a while, a lady called back to enquire and later called again to inform me that the machine ran out of paper and tt the technician had already refilled it. so there was this so-called technician stationing somewhere around there? amazing!

we had dinner with mum at hotpot culture at marina. i thought we could eat to our hearts' content by scooping pile after pile of food into our mouths. but there was not much variety of steamboat dishes and the cooked food were not as stunning as they sound. also 8 dishes in total were not served to us at all! a waiter said tt our orders were not in the kitchen. how could a piece of paper just disappear lyk tt? i dont see other tables having this prob. if i had the chance to taste the cooked food, my impression would have changed slightly better.

there was a long queue before and after our dinner but i dont think tts gonna last. of course pple have to try the food first when they know of this place but wanting them to come back again is the main issue. besides, there are better places tt will get them the kick out of having steamboat.

Mi, although i'm not able to offer u many things now, i will in
the years to come. im very grateful for ur support and belief in me, especially
when i always mke lots of requests. only you are able to bring out the best in
me, my treasured mum.

very happening!

i was at the void deck of my hse today and i saw a cockroach on the wall. it must have been a strong cockroach since it can climb walls? well it was crawling and as it was turning the wall edge, a bird (crow i think) swooped frm out of nowhere, grabbed the cockroach in its beak and flew far far away. god! all tt happened in just seconds and right in front of me! i dont feel sorry for the cockroach though.

woah my graduation robe looks so big!! heavy but comfortable. actually was hesitant abt going but now i think i shld just go since its not like an everyday thing tt im graduating right? they also sell class rings, graduation bears, and plaques for holding the certs. why didnt it look tt nice previously when i saw it on the website?

how will i look when i wear dis..

2008-05-08T23:51:00.010+08:00

spotted lots of mother's day online dedications this yr. qte sad tt cant get selected for stomp mother's day contest. i sent my dedi on the last day then who knows the email bounced back cos dey cant receive too huge attachment size. although finally reached dem but it was considered post-date entry. but then again, my mum doesnt experience any shocking tribulations so i guess it wont be considered touching enough. since what she did are qte common. nevertheless, i still love you mum!

oh yar! i won $10 from AdTag last Sat. This is alr the third time! Haha when will I win $1k? Please let me have luck with AdTag!

I will be having pints of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream soon! comes with mints as well. but what are mints? im guessing its toppings. mum says its mint flavour..how can tt be?

Off to victory with my chocolate!

See all the other entries at: omy showtime

4 may: Went to IKEA to buy bottles. they have nice furniture range, especially the sofas. if i have the $, i will go buy a living room set. qte long since i came to IKEA. but i guess i have to go dere again cos bro used my bottles! now left one only.

although i've heard of Disney Naturally before but only that day i went to try it out for e first time. And my verdict is it's really more suitable for kids. The menu has very little varieties and i think the price is abit ex. but i like the lamb stew though. it has the indian flavour. the orange and raspberry milkshake is too sweet. try the mango one as its better. Nothing much to comment on the pizza except its shaped like Mickey.

there's this shop at anchorpoint called My Princess Kitty Club that sells Hello Kitty stuff. weird thing is i wanted to take a picture of the pretty shop then the shop assistant came out and tried to stop me. i took the shot alr though but she didnt ask me to delete it. or isit she didnt know. lol.

2008-05-02T00:00:00.007+08:00

29 Apr: Ben & Jerry's free cone day! went to vivo outlet with irene to get free ice-cream! The queue was long man..queue until way outside and zigzag here and dere. they arrange the queue such tt it wont block the way of incoming passers-by. 1st time i see such thoughtful act. it was mostly students in the queue. although free cone day this time round is held in conjuction with raising funds for the children's cancer society, i dun think its tt successful considering the free ice-cream is e main motive. mostly get only few cents.

there was supposed to be activities at the vivo outlet but at tt time i went there was nothing. i ltr knw tt eunice olsen did come in the mrn but what abt e moo bank and whatever names they were tt i couldnt guess what activity it was from the names. so after we got our cones, we admire the B&J cow for a while and went to shop around. i found out tt my Zinc bag is actually worth $42.90. hmm so e bangle and watch is supposed to add up to hundreds? since the necklace is $5. the other one nt sure. or maybe its e french kitty sunglasses tt was the most ex.

A confession to make while queuing in line

u're not seeing double..it's 2 choc ice-cream alright!

irene holding the cow in her hand!

1 May: Labour Day! I asked mum whether was she glad tt she didnt have to work. and she said ok lar. what ok? isnt it more than ok to get a day's off!
There's this Great Singapore Shopping Challenge (GSSC) going on so we went to HarbourFront Centre to spend $$. had dinner at Sakae since they were holding a draw to send 4 winners every week to dine at a Sakae outlet overseas. Ahhh! i cant wait to win a travelling trip!! when i saw Sakae's mouse shaped like a green frog, thought of buying since i needed a mouse. but its not-for-sale. why never sell the mouse when they are selling so many other stuff?
after dinner we walked around Giant Hypermart looking for contest forms to participate. in e end we bought many items but decided not to ask for duplicate receipt so now cant take part in the GSSC! shit lar. found out when i checked the website again. wasted 2 purchases!!

loud noise

2008-04-25T23:49:00.004+08:00

i forgot that the 'share a slice of life' pizza will be delivered today. i wonder if i am one of the lucky 150 or there are few people who requested for it.

morning was very noisy today! i duno why are they cutting down the tree. and the noise level was way much unbearable than construction work! i keep thinking am i going to hear this noise for e rest of my life.

the aftermath

i want the sofa and pillows!

2008-04-24T23:51:00.002+08:00

RSVP @ Park is really a very comfortable haven! the seats are cushy and the pillows are so nice to hold under the cool temperature! it makes the place looks more posh. it's Secretary Week so went there to eat. cheapest among other hotel buffets and got goodie bag plus can take part in contest. didnt have much appetite so didnt really enjoy myself. i shld go another time to have a diff experience. although the food is so-so.

my cash is flying away..

2008-04-23T22:50:00.003+08:00

Sunday
Samsung is holding a Crazy dj battle till 30th April for all to have a chance to win the latest i450 live loud phone and cash. didnt have the phone so had to go their flagship store at vivo to try out the game. it's similar to normal dancing games where you have to use the left, right, up, down controls and the touchwheel as well in this case. tried for abt an hr and im onli halfway from the third place of the easy category. its harder than i thought.

we had spicy miso hotpot at Sushi Tei for dinner. its ok and although they give significant amounts of salmon, it's too many. i prefer to have more prawns, and mussels as well.

Monday
collected the Nokia n82. i went to that place before..to conduct survey for sch proj. why do some organisers want to tke photos of the winners? i dun see my face appearing anywhere in previous contests. after i went hme thought mus charge the phone for at least 8 hrs. but onli abt an hr it was fully charged. did somebody alr charge for me or wad? btw i think im giving the phone to my mum. i dun feel lyk changing to a new phone at the moment..and i duno why.

Nokia N82

Today
i went to Microsoft today to collect the MS Ultimate! the security of the building is special..had to key in ur ic to gain access. when i went in, i had to go thru a few pple to finally get to the right one. and it was after i met man no.2 that i realise the person in charge didnt even tell me where to find him. i even walked past them thinking they are holding a meeting when in fact it was him and the other winners. -.-" im selling the MS Ultimate..dont have much use for the programs. i duno how to use them either. who wants to buy??

Yet another happy day!

2008-04-18T23:28:00.003+08:00

As mentioned previously, i took part in the Storytelling With Nokia contest. I received the email today stating i won a Nokia N82! Cool gadget! immediately i searched on info abt the phone. i hope i can quickly get my hands on it and decide whether to change my old phone. The results are announced at Gadget3's Storytelling with Nokia

2008-04-12T00:10:00.002+08:00

last Sunday we had curry buffet at M Hotel. i found a 1-for-1 coupon in the papers so we went there to take advantage of the offer. there were 11 types of curries such as hainanese chicken, fish head, prawn, yong tau foo, curry veg with taupok, oxtail, pork ribs, mutton, devil's curry that consists of sausage, and an oily one that is chicken but dont look like curry. oops im missing one curry! ambience is nice and seats were comfortable, but the food was only okay. range of desserts was not many either.

later on in the evening, we head over to Wisma Atria to take a picture with the fishes. i admit i didnt take notice of the fishes whenever im at Wisma. I was there that day for the contest. this was the first time i took a good hard look at the fish tank. the first and last time.

dinner for me was jap food from food district at taka basement. the omelette rice set meal which consists of chicken, crab meat and sweet sauce was very yummy! even though it turned cold already. costs $8 and comes with a bottled drink.

youth.sg is sure fast at deciding the winner for the Whatever Wednesday contest. i really hope to win the grand prize but i din expect to really win it! hahahaha was my reaction when i saw the email. mum said i looked lyk a gang chief in the picture..as if lar! its a cooler-than-thou look ok. previously i won a Samsung mp3 player (im very proud of my entry for that contest) and a pair of 'I Know Who Killed Me' movie tickets (but i didnt watch it) from them too. :DD

Mum's birthday!! i started making pancakes and appetizer at 4am for her breakfast. didnt know what to make as appetizer besides soup which i think will be too full for her. so i just fry mushroom wif garlic and seasoning. the food is not really appetising but its still edible! at least she still has her usual cup of coffee.

i hope she likes my 'restaurant' setting, and the menu, reserved sign and the voucher. i did plan u knw.

st nicks run & fiesta

2008-03-29T23:51:00.003+08:00

st nicks fair is so diff from those days when i was still schooling there. it's fun to go back to the place i once studied. although some memories are qte vague, my impression of it is still positive. they hired uncle ringo and had all these fun rides and game stalls. there's dis ride tt is cylinder-shaped where the people are standing in a circle with their backs leaning against the machine. first time i see got stand up and 'sit' the ride. it looks fun but dun feel lyk sitting cos of tummy ache.

food is v ex! i duno its due to rising prices or they want more profit or wad. i bought 4 satays for $5 (that's arnd 80c more than usual price), root beer float for $4, chocolate bubble tea for $3 (this still reasonable), 2 sticks of fishballs for $4.

Dr William Tan was there too..for the run i guess. im nt sure wad is the reason to why they are running. saw many pple i knw but where is jessica?
irene, thanks for the camera!

st nicks doll: 1 big 1 small for $20. bought with irene and got the big one at $11.

went to bj to get the peel fresh mangosteen goodie bag. fiona xie was the celebrity guest. now then i know her face so oval. she very pretty lar. anyway we didnt stay long cos my tummy ache lyk hell!

Easter surprise!

2008-03-23T23:49:00.014+08:00

To get our easter eggs, mum and I went to GV Grand to watch The Leap Years. The show was ok to me but i think its weird to just huo4 chu1 qu4 ur love to someone u hardly meet and know. was very happy that there was a Grand Easter Egg card beneath mum's seat! :D mine was taken from somewhere dumped at the back and exchanged for a mini egg.

we had dinner at Cz'Zar. they were holding a set menu promotion so we went there. Their appetizer is boiled peanuts! the set menu at $28.80 consists of rice, watermelon slices, black pepper chicken, salad prawn wif jellyfish (why nowadays put wasabi?), dumpling soup, chawanmushi, and curry fish. they really give alot of curry fish with tau pok. very worth it. and the dumpling soup is rich.

grandma, grandpa, mum, bro and me sat the SG flyer today! it was a free ride cos i won the tickets..just by buying a bottle of Lux. (can't rmb its shampoo or shower foam) the security checkpoint and path to the capsule are similar to that in an airport. there was aircon in the capsule! and it was moving very slowly so cant feel the movement at all. before that we had to take photo in the background setting of a fake capsule. my family all was not posing and the camera only took me standing there. the girl in charge of that station is so gan-chiong..cant see we havent get ready and just give the command to take the picture. whatever. we paid 15 bucks for a remembrance pic.

ticket collection is also terrible. collected the tickets yday and it was so troublesome. i walked to the ticket counter back and forth thrice! the ticket booked was basic adult and the system recorded child. so had to go and take $. then the date was printed wrongly. blah blah blah so many paper to waste.

went to Tung Lok's Noble House for ala carte buffet dinner. the setting is very grand. glad that grandma liked the food. but we still spent $100 despite using a $100 voucher.

happy good friday! and happy bday to dearest mum!

Earlier this march I thought about "What is the most creative way a girl can propose to a guy?" I used the idea of the cake made by Sanshun in the show I Love Sam-Soon! the diff is she made it for a customer and my story plot is for a marriage proposal. i must quickly go watch The Leap Years before it's gone!

2008-03-17T22:44:00.005+08:00

my worst prize collection up to date. had to go all the way to boon lay and unfortunately i forgot to bring the receipt! wth. they insisted that the receipt is to be presented upon prize collection and refused receiving by post or email. its not like anybody would know. im okay with it but isnt it better not to let me on a wasted trip? im thinking of what to do with my 24 packs of Halls candies.

went to NUS open house. my schedule was talks all the way. Admissions at 2.20pm (went late), Arts & Social Science at 3pm and Business at 4pm. then we took many brochures + pens from the faculties' exhibitions. didnt see anything from the CCA booths cos they were already packing up! i kept searching for the Singtel goodie bag but we couldnt find it. luckily we asked an NUS indian guy and he gave his to us! Thank you uncle!

i realise the common thing about these uni goodie bags nowadays is that they are environmental bags with practically nothing in them. which is why i have to go around the exhibitions and booths to source for the goodies.

later on we went to the F&B fair at Suntec. its almost the same as last year's, except that e-donuts is there considering the donut craze and sweet potato. no sight of any yogurt booth. we had a bit of this and that as dinner.

And I got my iPod Nano today! It's a 2nd prize that I had won from the Recruit.net - Creative Feedback Challenge. Amazing its ! Very sleek design and clear screen!
had to pose with my prize beside a plant! what was i thinking to have asked to meet at suntec? i was not paying attention to how many people were looking at me though. Thanks to aplink and recruit.net for awarding this prize to me! (they like my honest and constructive feedback you know!) will post my picture when i receive it. Update: nv receive my pic!

Recruit.net - Creative Feedback Challenge (RCFC)

2008-01-01T22:07:00.000+08:00

Recruit.net is an emerging online job portal for those seeking a job. It is customised by usage of different countries, so whether you are in China, Australia etc, you can still find your preferred job at the site. Currently they are looking for suggestions to improve their site. So here I am to give my 2 cents worth.

°☆★ Knowledge Zone ★☆°
Before starting on the job seeking journey, the job seeker needs to equip himself with the necessary information to ensure success. This zone will provide details on how to prepare for an interview, the do's & dont's before, during and after the interview, how to write an impressive cover letter/resume, how to brush up your communication skills. It can be shown in both text and video formats. I think video presentations displayed in a light-hearted manner can offset the seriousness in job searching.

°☆★ Colour Chooser ★☆°
Users can change the words and background to their desired colours. This will facilitate more interest in them when they are using the site.

°☆★ myJob Wishlist ★☆°
This wishlist is extremely useful for those who are uncertain of which job to apply for. So when they have come across a job of their interest, they can save it to their wishlist. The next time when they log in, the list of jobs that they have once searched can be found in the wishlist.

°☆★ 1-day Work ★☆°
Recruit.net can arrange with companies to provide a one day tryout session for users who signed up for them. This will give job seekers a feel of how it is like if they chose to take up the job.

To generate loyalty among users, rewarding them is a good way for acknowledging their efforts.
°☆★ Referral Bonus ★☆°
Word of mouth (mouse) strategy is cost-effective and works tremendous power. Users who refer friends to Recruit.net, which in turn generates actual sign-up, will get rewards that can be in the form of vouchers, cash etc.

°☆★ I’ve Got The Job! ★☆°
A reward system can be set up for those who found a job through Recruit.net. This way, users will be more enthusiastic in job-seeking. Comments can be posted by job seekers who successfully got a job through Recruit.net, thus helping to attract more people to visit the site.

°☆★ Hear it from Mr Workaholic ★☆°
Recruit.net can be used not only by job seekers, it can also be for those who are working as well. A job consultant, perhaps known as Mr. Workaholic (similar to Auntie Agony), will handle any questions posted by users regarding work.

°☆★ Community Groups ★☆°
Letting users create groups and join their preferred groups to forge community bonding. Groups can be private or public. Users can post comments and pictures for their group to view.

There is an increasing number of students who are joining the workforce. So it will be appropriate to have a student section for students to search jobs for their internship or as part-time. This will make it easier for them to find a job. Currently the Singapore website cannot search by location. Recruit.net can allow users to search by location, amount of pay, qualifications required. The jobs posted can also be split into categories such as requiring resume/not requiring resume. A glossary of industry jargon will be useful to job seekers as well.

It Feels So Good To Be Young..

Phew! Managed to squeeze in to the last round of the blogging festival. I guess competition will be fired up considering this will be the last chance to take part. But anyway I will just have a shot at this. Who knows I may get that swanky Sony CyberShot W70! Imagine the pain of only able to take pictures using your teeny megapixel handphone camera! How can photo taking be enough using that? But then again..those snapshots below are taken using my handphone. At least my face is not distorted. Oh well I hope that through publishing this post, it will let others know more about me and also for me to know more about myself. Just pondering over what to write made me found some bits and pieces of myself.

Okay if there's one thing I like to do..it will be to take part in all the contests there are to take part in. It's not that I hope to win in every contest (that's impossible) but just the thought of a slightest possibility that I might win makes me feel excited. Of course I do pick and choose those contests giving out prizes that I want. The most expensive prizes that I have won would be an ipod nano and a pair of tickets to S.H.E's concert. (the prize of the S.H.E contest comes with newfeel products too. lol.)

Talking about S.H.E and music, did anybody watch Hana Kimi or HuaYang? Those who did, breathe.. Oh I see that 99% watched it. It was so lame and touching right? But the ending was so abrupt though. Let's pray for a minute of noise that there will be a sequel with the same cast acting in it..

[after a minute...]

That sure was noisy! Ok I sound like I'm in a screw loose state of mind talking to you through my blog post. Hopefully your mind have not gone haywired. Back to Hana Kimi, I must SO recommend the ending song in the drama! For those who have heard of 专属天使，it must have been the earth's most groundbreaking never before love song ever!! It's very very very and I can't stress how very NICE it sounds. Totally changed my opinion towards TANK (he sang that song)

Below is the MV of the hottest love song ever~

专属天使

and another lovely song on angels as well..
天使

Shiok right..2 eye candies back to back. I love to watch TV! It's actually just that for the moment I can't find anything more enjoyable than my favourite dramas. Tell you guys something..recently I watched quite a few movies, and they are for free! What's even better was that those were gala premieres. So it's like I had watched Music & Lyrics, TMNT and next will be Because I Said So. Plus I have free passes to The Messengers and pair of free passes to any movie. And..pair of tickets to catch 300! Why do they have to flood me with so many movies at the same time? Not that I'm not savouring all these precious moments though. I'm busking in movie joy now.

OMG! It's already like 4+am. Tomorrow still have attachment. So I will just end here. Anyway it's the end of my post already. Haha so hope you guys out there enjoy reading this!

P.S. I wanted to change my blog layout but something wrong with the code. Will try some other day. =)
