Posted Friday, December 29, 2006 // 01:27
Basically this few days is all about the cafe thingy and Christmas. For Christmas, we celeb at Orchard. Ppl alot dao~ Then got one stupid pervert keep on following us so closely. Feel like boxing him sia. Took some pics there. Very nice decorations. Ytd met Mr Wee in school. After that Tang Jie dad drove us to Courts and Ikea at Tampines. Copy down loads of notes and we went to eat out lunch. After our lunch, we went to Dhoby Ghout to look for some kitchen ware. Went to Sembawang to look for the syrups and we went to buy some cup noodles. Went back home, bathe, change then went to meet Shu Hua to go Ke Qi's house. Reach there 9pm+ le. Discuss until 1am, decided to sleep till 3am. At 3am, Jia En and I very energetic. LOL. We go brush our teeth and go disturb them. Then like nothing to plan then all very tired. So decided to wake up at 6am instead. 3am to 6am, 6am to 9am. Wake up liao then called alot of coffee machine company. All their service very good, not like the Derrick Tang. I think his machine really got prob thats why he wanna sell it fast. Then called this company called splendour. This guy Jason quite good lar. Then his company got coffee mahcines that fit our budget as well as our needs. Then later call him and he say we can go to their company and he will demostrate how the machine works. Now trying to fix a date. Sigh, today that damn Isetan got what end-of-year offer. So many ppl! Then stomach cramp the whole day... Ok, got to go sleep le. Very late.

Lemme start off from what happen a few days back. The sales went quite well lar, only we did not cook much then sold very little. After the sales, we went to starbucks to discuss about the cafe and also try out the soda. Basically thats what happened days back. Ytd, met Karen and went to collect my new spects then met Jun Hao at cwp. After eating at Mos, we went to esplanade. Met Li Hui and Li Ying then we went for the meeting tgt. First thing, draw lots. See who can get the best seats for the concert. Row 1 - 3 is for the sponsors and VIPs. Row 4 - 11 if for FC ppl only. 1 row got 16 seats. 12 seats taken by ex-co ppl. So only left 4 seats. Li Hui represent us 5 go draw lots. Lucky us, we got row 4. But 1 person have to seat row 5 just behind. So Li Ying volunteer. After that, went to Taka to see Jennie. Ate our dinner and we went to buy some x'mas gifts. After we bought our stuffs, we went to meet at Karen's house void deck resident loungue and celeb early x'mas cos me eve and x'mas working. So cannot celeb. SAD. Wanted to wait for Jennie so we sat there till like 12a.m? Very lucky, Karen's mother came down and wanted to bring Karen's sis back and guess what? The police raided us. The curfew thingy; cannot go out after 11am. Lucky got one adult. Anyway, we decided to go home after that. Cos it was late already. SAD. This year no x'mas feeling. Haii.

Because my dog's coat is ruin and she might need to shave off her fur or wait for a year or more for her coat to become normal again. Everyday I see her brown fur my heart very pain. Feel like cryin :'( From snowy white tan to don't know wad shit colour. ARGH! I am now looking everywhere for the chemical. My only wish now is for my pooch's fur to recover. Now, I feel that I got alot of problems. Also don't know who to turn to. Sometimes think that if I end my life now, I will not have to face all the problems. But a very selfish thinking to throw all your problems to someone. SAD. MY POOCH!!! I hope she won't shave... :'( May god bless my pooch.

Monday started to rain, rain and rain. But I like the whether. Haha, not really affected by the rain, cos also never go out, always working. Now come to think that working got advantages also. Cos 6 days in a week work only 1 day rest then that day sure don't wanna go out. So stay at home rest. Never go out at all so can save hell loads of money. Ytd, 4 hours at kiosk. NICE. Laze around and pay gets in. Cos raining so no ppl. SAD, Zaini wanna leave to get another job end of this year. He is da best mng man. Will miss him loads de. Anyway, Monday, I saw Paul Twohill and Hardy Mirza. LOL. Then Sunday I saw this project superstar. Err, I forgot his name le. All at my workplace... Tmr don't know will see who. Today, sunshine again! But don't know later will rain anot. Very very bad news. Christmas Eve and Christmas, Tang Jie and I are scheduled to work, YAY... Don't know about Jia En. Heard that these 2 days got alot of ppl so must go help out. Lalalalala... Gd-bye Christmas celebration. Nvm, celebrate with myself :) Hmm, out of 10, only 1 got hao bao. Ytd, TJ sheltered a lady to her office during her work hours!!! Damn. LOL. The lady later came back and pass her a very exp necklace for sheltering her. LOL. Ok lar, only a few will encounter 'hao ren you hao bao' de. Ok, today my rest day, tmr must work liao. Must make full use of this.


K-Box
Posted Saturday, December 16, 2006 // 11:10
Went to school to pack the tech-hub and build robot. Tj came and look for me after that and we went to 768 Mc tgt. Suppose to discuss about Christmas but the x'mas sprit and feeling is not there. Planned very little actually. I don't really have it too lar... I hope this month faster over then I can lead the normal life I wanted again... I really hate holidays to da core. I prefer waking up early in the morning going to school. Quite sad after thinking that je, sm, tj, helen is not in the same class as me. I think I won't enjoy school as mush as I do this year. Nvm, reunited with Karen le! Last year cos we sing too much S.H.E songs sitting tgt then I never listen to lessons. She more clever so she remain, I dropped. LOL. Hopefully we won't sing so much next year... Anyway I don't really enjoy the K-Box session ytd. Firstly, no sm to bring up the high sprits in K. Secondly, no Karen so sing Selina's part. LOL. So me and Jun Hao have to sing for Karen Selina's part. Errr, she is better in that lar. Lastly, damn 3 hours only for $18.50. What de.. Nvm. Selina's 'adxzz' + Ella's 'hysnsn' ST out le! Must earn money to buy them! Today back to work again. Still missin' Aussie daily routine... I wished the time just froze there......


9 DAYS IN AUSSIE
Posted Wednesday, December 13, 2006 // 22:31
Hey~ back from my 9 days trip in Aussie. Well, this blog is goanna be really lonnnng and take up some time. Enjoy :)

Itinerary frm 4th dec - 13th dec `

4th Dec

Yea, tj and sm went tgt with me to the airport. Thanks guys :) After that, checked in and we went to chat at jollibean. Met the rest and we went to the custom. Spent about an hour and we took off. Took off at 9:30pm. Well, my ears didn't hurt that much. Probably uncomfortable... Did nothing in the plane besides; watch tv, eat, slp, listen to music and ~ 8 hrs past (: We reached Brisbane! 4am in Brisbane is like 7am in S'pore. We saw the sun already .


5th Dec
Touched down at 7:30am Brisbane GTM+10. Diners came to pick us to The Southport School. 18 degree celsius at that time. Was quite cold. Reached TSS after thzt. The school is so big sia. It was similar to S'pore sports school. TSS is a boarding school and trains students in sports. Bad news came for me after that, we were suppose to sleep alone in a room in the dorms. Sigh... Went to the dorms and unpacked our luggage. After that went to supermarket and bought some groceries and we went to eat at a Japanese Restaurant. What else next... Robots. Went back to TSS and started to build our robots and practicing them by dismetaling them, building them, dismental build, until we are familiar with it.

6th Dec
We went to slp at 2am and woke up at around 5am to prepare for the competition. Unfortunately, everyone was slacking and we did not perform for the 2 events on that day. Came out of the competition hall and we went back. Competition days are short yea, most of them happen in the hall and all about robots. The teachers spoke nothing because they said we were tired and we all went to sleep at around 8pm.

7th Dec
Woke up at 2am and went to Miss Sum's room. Got a very very very long scolding there and it woke up our senses. We were all questioned one by one and sent to the balcony one by one to refelct. It was so cold when we were reflecting at the balcony. After we reflected , we came out and apologised to the teachers. So , we worked so hard through the night and the next morning, we went to the competition hall . This time we were late. We thought it will start at 10am like ytd but it ended up starting at 9am. But we were lucky and the competition was also delayed and we started at 10am. Full 3 hours. Guess what? Surprise! We completed the race! Jian Li's robot! Went back and had our dinner then went to sleep.

8th Dec
Robots through the night, woke up and went to competition hall again. Never complete the mission for today. Went back and had some sense talking. After that we went to Fish on Ferry and saw Hai Sing there. Regreted not bringing my jacket because it is so cold! Anyway, thanks Wei Hao for lending me your jacket. Went back to dorm and had a very good sleep alas.

9th Dec
Met at 7am nicely dressed in our uniforms and jacket at the main hall. The guys looked so mature in long pants. Haha. Had an attire check and we went to the hall for Prize Giving. We went there with a heavy heart... But, we won 3rd in Obstacle Race and Excellence in Technology! Hahas. Shocked at first sia. Jia Ren, Jian Li and I went to collect the medals. It feels so good holding the national flag in our hands when we went to receive our medals =D Went out of the hall and went to the river after the ceremony ended. We went to the river bank to take some group photos. The bus didn't come anyway, took a cab to Carlton. 3 sec jump 10 cents. Ironic? Well, cause in Aussie, many ppl own a car so yea, taxi is not easy to make money. Made 2 Korean Friends and 1 Chinese friend during the 'exchange program'. Picked up our stuffs from TSS and we went to Carlton. Mr Sam brought us to rusty pelican at night to have lobster for dinner. But we ate KFC and we ordered kids meal cos we were full. After that the told us that this was a reward for the award. LOL!

10th Dec
Today Mr Neo is going back to S'pore le :'( cos he needs to go to Orlando on the 13th. So, we specially woke up at 6am and we brought him to Carrara Market, a place whereby stuffs are cheap. Took a bus there and it was so cool. I didn't have small notes and with and Mr Neo paid the tix for me (: Thanks Mr Neo. Reached Carrara Market and had breakfast there. Walked a few rounds there and we left to send Mr Neo back to Carlton and he left for the airport. After that we met Mr Sam and went to Carrara again. Bought loads of stuffs this time. Headed back to Carlton after that. Went to surfers paradise but Xin Hui, Jian Li and I wore shoes so we were not able to feel the sea waters. but I felt the soft sands there. Ok, the soft sand here is purly sand. No twigs wadsoever like ECP yea. Kinda think that ECP is real dirty. The water there is so clean! Anyway, it was freezing there and I again regreted not bring my jacket! =.= But the guys there are gentlemens (: Thank you Jian Li for your jacket but is was huge. Haha. Headed back to have a meal at a Korean Restaurant with Mr Sam. Wei Hao was tired and never join us. Went to Timezone after that. Played like a bunch of crazy idiots never been to TZ. Thier games there are awesome yea! We had a mini golf there. Haha. Oh ya, the laser game is totally awesome!

11th Dec
Woke up and 8am and took the bus at 9am and went to National Park. Saw some turkey and blueberries on the ground. The Nataional Park is beatiful. Saw the stream and waterfall. Came out of the park and we drove past a shade that sells the best bananas. That's what they said... LOL. Bought some anyway. The road to New South Wales was really beautiful. Saw loads of farms with horses and cows... I would't mind staying there. Went to Byron Bay after that in New South Wales, Sydney. 2 hours drive from Brisbane to Sydney. Ate the hazelnut homemade ice-cream which is so delicious! Went to the oldest light house and we proceeded to the bridge to see of we are lucky. Heard that during this period of time, dolphins will magrate. We stood there for a while and saw 12 dolphins. OMG. Thats the best day man. They drove us to the mainroad and we had 2 hours. Went to Fishheads to have seafood. The lobster noodles is damn good. Saddening. Did not have to time to go to the Byron shore. Went to space walker after that. One of a tourist attraction in Aussie. Jia Ren cried at the last stage whereby all the aliens came out. LOLs~!

12th Dec
The day I have been awating! DREAMWORLD! got some sanwich ready and we left for Dreamworld. First stop, we sat the boat ride or smt. Can't rmb the names. We got a lil wet. Hehe. After that, I think I am crazy or my mind is nt working properly, I agreed to sit the Giant Drop. Yea, I must be insane. Btw, Giant drop is 8 ppl sitting in a row. It will lift you up 39 stories, 119m tall, let you see the senery and 20 secs, 3, 2, 1 off you go. Just released you and you will come back to earth in 6 secs. Played the log game after that and Miss Sum told us about Ke Qi at Bangkok Dreamworld. LOL. We were all soaked after the log game anyway. After that, we went to feed the kangeroos and the sheeps. They are soooo cute! Shopping after that at Dreamworld. Then at night, we went to treat Mr Sam lobster. Sigh, we all got rejected. What an emotional night... Anyway, wanted to go to Billabong as well to get some things. Also rmb Ke Qi saying she wanted Billabong stuffs. But it was closed. Sad. Did not get any Billabong products at all. Goodness.

13th Dec
Wei Hao came our room at 6am. Which, we planed to meet and go to surfers paradise. Don't know why I went back to sleep and so he went back too. Sorry guys, didn't meant to do that, I was in a daze. Woke up at 8:30am eventually and packed our luggages and clear the stuffs in our apartments. Boarded the bus and we reached the airport. Went to get 2 musical tuners and a boomerang and we boarded the plane soon after. Thanks Wei Hao for letting me sit the window seat :) Wahahaha. I bully him. Same things in the flight. But I felt like vomiting when touching down. I can't take the presure then. Saw sg4 there. LOL! SO TOUCHED =D

Ok, actually there are really LOADS MORE. Oh yea, Aussie RULES. It was like I am so used to the life there. The temperature, the people, the shops, the food. I simply miss the place now. I was so used to the money there that this morning, I can't even recognise a 5 cent coin. You know the money there is so cool. Their 5 cents is like Sing 10 cents. Thats all, got to get ample sleep, tmr need go school.


missing aussie lyfe .. :[

2 days of FLL
Posted Sunday, December 03, 2006 // 21:07
Woke up very early this week. Ytd was the first day of FLL. Reached school at 7am. Had a briefing at school then we boarded the bus and went to parkway. Reached dere then again another briefing and we were given instruction on our duties for the day. Yea and the day just ended like that. Bringing the participants up and down for the robotics run. Today was a lil later. We were suppose to meet at Mc at 7am but I was very tired and overslept so I sms Ke Qi. But I think too blur then never see or wad, the msg was not sent and was saved in draft. Then they waited. LOL sorry guys. Went to school, then up the bus, reached there, carry out our duties, went for the prize persentation, bek to school for briefing and home sweet home! Haha~! There was a guy named Joel from swiss cottage sec who was always pestering Helen. I think he likes her. Summore wanna treat her coffee at Starbucks neh... LOL. Right, tmr needa reach school at 8:30am. After that I think I come home use comp and sleep. 4:30 then meet TJ cos I don't wanna bother my mother to go then come bek cos at home no one. Summore I scared later I cry... =.= Then TJ become my 'mother' company me there. Cos I am going there for dinner so I ask TJ come with me lor. Haii. Is like 1 mth passes so fast. The day in NYP was like just a few weeks back. Anyway, we did not win anything in FLL... I really don't know how to comfort those who broke down yea... Although we did nt win, I think you guys did a great job :) Ok, I am going to sleep. Tmr after school go get some snacks, choc and bk. Hehe.


Shopping
Posted Friday, December 01, 2006 // 21:35
Went to school this morning for the FLL briefing. Went up to music room after that. Did some stuffs and we went to have lunch and also to help the guys get lunch. Went to foodcourt to eat then we went to get the guys lunch and desert for Miss Sum and ourselves :) Quite unlucky? Rained on the way back to school. Well, fortunately, the rain subsided and we went back to school. Wanted to print those leaflets but the printers were all black and white. Decided to print it at home then. After we left school at around 6pm, TJ came to my house but her cable did not... Can't find my mp3 so just gave her a disket. Haha. After that I went out with my mom. Firstly, we shopped for some casual tees for my trip then some bermudas. Can't find it anyway. Walked past Popular and I wanted to get a book or smt to read on the plane. Decided to continue reading my Atermis Fowl. Bought the first bk cos I lost the first one a long time back and I forgot the storyline. Went to BK to have dinner and saw this very huge poster [ Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix - Coming Soon ] WOW! MUST CATCH IT! Haha. Went back and realised that I have not made my spects. The vision on my current spects is not very clear? Asked the optician and she said rimless spects need till about Wednesday? By the time I am already in Brisbane... Awww... Cannot see those beautiful stuffs in Aussie. Anyway, went to have the eye test and my degree went up. Optician immediately recomended contacts. Dreadful... 3 reasons why I stop contacts last year. Firstly, troublesome, need time to get those stuffs in your eyes. Secondly, costly, not cheap to get contacts. Lastly, my STM! Remebered once I wore my contacts and went to sleep. The next morning, I saw 2 blood-shot eyes staring at me in the mirror. I also tend to forget the dates of expiry and wore expired ones. The eyes can be very red and irritating. Yea and because of this, my eyes became so dry that I stopped them till now. Well, the optician recommended those daily moist ones. Mom bought them 15 pairs for 55 bucks. ARGH. Felt a pinch although it is not my money. Previously, my monthly only costed $15 per pair/per mth. Went home after that and unpacked the stuffs. Till now, I still see those. Well, I think this sentence really make some sense 当好人做久了,就会发现, 好人都不会被记住. 反而, 一辈子被记住的人, 往往都是坏人.. Very very true. It is all happening around me. All those negative stuffs and I don't know. I used to have those but not now. Very disappointed in somethings that happened recently. Nevertheless, need to concentrate on the upcoming competition for me and after that, yea right, no disappointments I promise ;) Then? In a blink, I think we would be returning to school. Ok, thats all for now, got to do some packing for da trip...

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
