Why does everyone think i only cavort with my cousins o.O?

Amanda/Cal/Shaomin/Shaoyuan/Michelle/Reiko/Tres/CW/Shan are NOT my cousins.

Only Daryl and Nick are the ones frequently mentioned on this blog.

Linus is Daryl's brother, Gerald is a cousin's cousin, and Amos is technically a step-cousin, but THATS ALL.

Hurhur and i don't see the point of this.

Anyway, now that the study break's in effect, i've been

1. Gymming with Boon
2. Meeting new friend Shuying and saying goodbye to old one Shaomin at Serene
   
   Last Photo Op!
   
   Twins Effect! (Toying around with SM's ibook!)
   
3. Fretting over Oxford Uni Apps
4. Discovering WTFMODE in DotA
5. Running around with Nubi to meet Pam
6. Reading the new stock of comics from Amazon (Decimation M!)
7. Receiving letter reading:
   "You have been identified as a potential candidate to be a RSAF military officer, being a Pilot based on your medical fitness and educational standing. To confirm your aptitude for training, you are invited to take the 5-hour Computerised Pilot Selection Test (COMPASS)."
   Oooh and i get an "exclusive souvenir upon completion of the test" O.o
8. Cycling to and from school in the rain (dont ask x.X)

And of course, MUGGING! I've also realised to multiply what everyone says they've completed by at least 3, since it seems to be all the rage to pretend one isn't doing any work even though the prelims are in 1.5 weeks..



Contemplating incest to... How We Do It Over Here - Busta Rhymes ft Missy Elliott

GP Weekend.. I WISH!

An ideal situation for my weekend (with less than 6 hours remaining) would have been me sitting alone in my icy cold aircon, a glass of *PRODUCT PLACEMENT ALERT!* Florida's Natural in one hand and a pile of General Paper texts in the other. I would thoroughly pore over them before carefully ruminating and sieving the useful apart from the useless, hence guranteeing my A1.

Unfortunately, i just had to forsake my inhibitions (once again x.X).

Friday saw me meeting up with CW (who gets his name in gay purple). It was his be-be-belated birthday treat, and we had Haato, went TopShopping and saw 'Snakes On a Plane', a superbly gross B-grade movie (just like how my GP will turn out!). After that, we walked down to BillyBombers where he had vouchers, and he ordered the 'Royal Flush'. This MONSTROUSITY was as high as his fork, and was stuffed with the likes of chicken/beef/bacon/ham/cheese/onionrings/chillies/ tomatoes/lettuce/beans/egg and everything else on the DIY burger menu. Needless to say, we were PRETTY stuffed after that.

I woke at 12pm on Saturday, and suffered a massive panic attack after wasting away with 2 hours of DotA. The Oxford Uni apps deadline was getting closer and closer, and i had nary a clue as to the requirements and specs of the course. In the end, i VERY EXCITEDLY decided to go for 'Physics and Philosophy', one of the fusion courses that allows for me to grasp the concepts of quantum mechanics and use it to debate our existence.

I felt the need to be rewarded after spending the entire afternoon on apps, and hence went for XKK's Hilton Jap Buffet invite, in lieu of Nick's end of exams (just a convenient excuse to eat :P). It was magnificent! With much kudos to the grill, the codfish, the desserts and even the cherry tomatoes.


Dog-Eat-Dog world. Or Gay-Eat-Gay.


UGRY SMILE TIME! Nick just feels himself.

Never fear, I will NOT lose my superb physique with all these buffets, thanks to the SAFRA ARMY HALF MARATHON! For the first time today, I participated (in the 10km one :P). I was amazed at the number of Singaporeans who turned up for the event, and the sheer magnitude of the throng is highly intimidating.

There, i met up with Cal, now my new event-running partner! We (including my sister) signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon in December, where i will assay the half-marathon!


The Cert of Completion, which we had to complete ourselves :P


The car is sexier than the both of us combined.

Unfortunately, it poured heavily during the mara, and my phone got soaked to the core (processor), utterly obliterating its keypad function..

This then led to a handphone upgrade!! Me/P³/Sw first went for the sumptious Muthu's Curry, a posh Indian restaurant, and i ate back all the marathon weight x.X. After this, it was down to Starhub Centre for a bunch of administrative screw-ups, and it was only at 4pm that i got my LG KG800, or CHOCOLATE PHONE!


I'm talking sexy black..

Wahaha! Now to get down and dirty with the GP.



Devouring some Chocolate to... Hip City - Electrico

Destressing from the Distressing

Life has been one amorphous blend of tutorials/notes/mugging of late, so its no wonder that only the special days are worth mentioning (and keeping photos of!).

The class has gotten queerer of late, with fierce competition abounding, PMS occurring in the people you'd least likely expect, and new friendships blossoming! I'm now gaybuds with Boon (displaced Bryan, hopefully!) and Pam is my official running partner! I meet up with the latter every Tuesday after my 15km run with Nubi, who cannot really handle the stamina-propelled activity.

Loserhui and Loserene. *MUACKS*


Pam/Me/Boon. Hardo Gay!


No, that's NOT raisins. Its enamel!

Today was something different again. I met up with SM in town to buy her a Vespa (and sugardad her new shoes)! In the end, we wound up shopping for 4 hours, missing HH and simply going down for the farewell dinner at the Wine Company and gorging ourselves :P Fatfat!


Me, my SM and High(heels)


Nue Fossils! Deer in headlights


BonVoyage! [SHAOYUAN]!!


And of course, what we feel for him ;)

Wheeha! And guess who had to accidentally wear my prized watch home..



Not getting my 8 hours to... Runaway - Electrico

The Not-So-Serene Centre

Many events unfolded around what is known to many as the crossroads of academic institutions, SERENE CENTRE.

I left the house at around 345pm to meet up with Shaomin, who's about to be going overseas (US) soon to study.. It was fun catching up and gossipping, and she even introduced me to this AwfullyChocolate ice cream place nearby!


WHEE we're sailing to Neverland!

Soon after, she brought me down to a Cold Storage with a craving for Ham, casually adding in her 'international' drawl that it went exceptionally well with... BLACK PEPPER TUNA. She and her friends were really into this meaty Tuna Hamwich thing!

We left the ColdStorage with half a kilo of assorted meats, and promptly settled down outside the Macdonalds. It was only after she took the first bite (and with a look of stifled pain), exclaimed 'Hey, its actually quite good!', that i realised the SCAM. She had duped me, and managed to out bullshit me! All the while she was laughing hysterically, joined by me in my foolishness :P

Uggh we had to sit there and eat ALL the mushroom ham with black pepper tuna, right in front of EVERYONE, laughing and chatting away.

Ham-some/sHammy

She had to leave earlier for a concert, but we had our fun! *VESPA SHOPPING*. After that, i returned to Serene Centre's Macs, where i met Amos/Leslie/Matthew/Hweeying/Clement/practically everyone in the world. I studied a bit with Amos while waiting for HEAVY HANDS, this aerobics thing where i was joined by Nick. (Don't ask about HH, its unglam :P)

After HH, it was back to Serene Centre's 'Island Creamery', an ice cream parlour i'd heard MUCH about. The photo wall was so cool, and it was fun trying to search out people we knew! The occasion was Shaowei's (yes, Min's sister) Birthday!


Birthday Girl & Family!

From Left: P³, me, Nick, The C-Cs, Kwan, HH instructors, friends of the ³.

There, i found my NEW true love, SHAOYUAN (yes, Min and Wei's brother x.X), who is the cutest boy in the entire world!


He auto-mimics me!

There was lots of noise and jubilance, with P³ somewhat humiliating himself and everyone merely watching. The ice-cream lived up to its reputation, and i had the applepieicecream, a soursop milkshake, the oreo mudpie AND the truffle-like chocolate cake.. Talk about redundant exercise..


I'm talking Sexy Back.. YEAH

And finally, i was trying to teach Wei how to look sexy for the camera! Not bad right ;)? (I mean her lah..)


Will-grow-up-as-hot-as-sister smile!

Before today, i'd never have thought Serene Centre more than a place for comics and cars!



Socialising wildly before the prelims to... All Falls Apart - The Veronicas

Walk-Jog-Cycle 2006!

Several weeks ago, i received an e-mail from P³ that glaringly read "Walk-Jog-Cycle 2006 @ Western Catchment Reservoirs", as opposed to his usual anecdotes (read: spam). Curious, i opened it and phrases of "traversing the scenic beauty" and "keeping fit" convinced me that it was worth roping in some friends for (it had NOTHING to do with "light refreshments will be served, i SWEAR!)

Having 6 spaces save myself, I asked Calista/Daryl/Amanda/Reiko/Jeremy along. Last minute though, Jeremy sprained his leg and was thankfully replaced by Michelle! Poor Jeremy, not only did he miss the light refreshments exercise, he missed the company of these fit ladies (pun intented :P)!

The event, in all its formalities, was supposed to start at 7:30am, but we only barely made it for the shoot-off! I'm still surprised that Amanda/Reiko managed to make it to my house in time.. They were even earlier than Daryl, who stayed over!


Changing into the event tee-shirt. Backseat Love!

We all cycled to the checkpoint, with the sights and beauty aweing us. Daryl was up ahead with P³ and Cal, while i was midway in the pack with Amanda. Reiko and Michies stayed back and continued at their leisurely pace. Once there, there was a huge hill to climb. Amanda and I tried to gather speed up but were obstructed by many inconsiderate lane-hogs, resulting in Amanda's fall! Luckily her scrape wasn't that severe, and would merely leave a permanent scar to DESTROY her nice legs.. Joking!


Amanda/Dar/Me/Cal, first to arrive!

Reiko/Michies. Cal jogging down with boundless energy

Once at the bottom, my eagerly awaited refreshments cool-down break resided. Here, we also took the opportunity to CAM-WHORE, my new fav pasttime!


'Admiring' the environmental propaganda.


AMANDA! What did you just do on the grass!?


Banana Republic! Cal/Mich/Amanda/Reiko

Suddenly, P³ had the brilliant idea to take a picture with the Minister for the Environment, Mr Yacob Ibrahim!


The Minister with his bodyguards and posse of chicks.

Oh, and sometime amidst the cam-whoring they opened some valve to let the catchment water in and yada yada..


WOAH, definitely the highlight of the event!

On the way back, Cal and I decided to switch over to jogging, and we completed the (dubiously little) 7km route dodging the bicycle traffic on the gravel. The rest were not motivated enough to jog all the way back, and remained with their precious cycles :P


RunRunners! Cal/Aman/Reiko

You too, can look as sexy as us with the aid of fruits!

We all then went to Jurong West hawker center for delectably cheap tou hua, carrot cake and mini wok noodles, gorging ourselves and undoing all the exercise x.X



Gravitationally attracted to... Get Up - Ciara ft Charmillionaire

CosDay

Yesterday, the 'Day after National Day' holiday, was well-spent with some members of Kazoku!

We all made our way down to EastCoastPark at around 10am, and found a pavillion to camp at. Tres/Tash/Amanda/Reiko/Serene/Ariki/Jane/Tomoyo/Lily/Me/Dar had 7 hours of good tanning fun!

We rollerbladed (i didnt fall!), kayak'ed, gorged ourselves with glorious duck rice and walked back and forth from the pavillion a couple thousand times.


Me/Ari/Reiko/Tres.. And Baghdad.


Ariki acting as a scale 'model'. Doing the Can-Can Hooter's style.


Bladers! Me/Tres/Dar


WET T-SHIRT!

After ECP, we made our way down to Marina² all tired and hungry. It was here that i was introduced to the new Kazoku obsession, MINISTRY OF FOOD (MOF). It's a Japanese restaurant that has utterly sensual desserts. I had a deluxe Katsu Don (and i mean deluxe), and a mango softserve syrup-y thing that would kill any diabetic.

There, Amanda/Reiko, also known as B1 and B2 of Bananas In Pyjamas fame, dubbed me Rotten Banana and Dar Goreng Pisang (don't ask), and we formed the Banana Republic to discuss many matters of politics (read: gossip).

Hmm.. What should we gossip about next?

During the dinner, we met a new friend in MICHELLE. She is 1.75m tall. And she's 18. She looks like Kelly Clarkson, and sings bloody well! Banana Republic was joined by her and Tres, and we went Kboxing at 9pm, only to end at 3am (which my explain my absence from certain activities..)


Emoting the night away..

Kboxers!

Tres then stayed over and we finally got to sleep at 4am..

FUN FUN FUN OMG DIE NEED TO STUDY.
