Happy Valentine's Day'06

Valentine's Day for me and dear dear was a simple one coz i dint really think that it's a time for us to celebrate? haha coz everytime we go out together we eat as if we're celebrating.. haha :X We went holland V and ate delifrance bistro. not say very nice but it's rather ex. heez but i still enjoyed the meal :)) after that we actually wanted to head to hagen daez for fondue and NYDC for cheesecake de but seeing the long queue both of us ZZZZZZzzz haha so in the end we went to the market and enjoyed a bowl of ice kachang for $1.50 cheap and good. after downing the ice kachang we were like super full. our initial plan was to---->
1. eat the crystal jade chicken wings
2.go delifrance have fruit tart
3.eat the famous holland V (dry) fish hor fun
4.fondue at haegen daez
5.cheesecake at NYDC
in the end we bought a small cake from breadtalk and had our mini celebration at my house's bus stop.Coincidentally, it's our 5th month on Vday too so we had a small candle and aloy brought the cake home. nothing fanciful or what but still we did spent some time together. oh yes to update what i got for Aloy--> a esprit towel pack, some sweets, nice stamps and a boxers card with my lip print! haha so cool right? lolz what Aloy gave me--> one stalk of pink blended with white rose. it's damn nice but super ex $6 (woa lao), a crunpler pouch and a super nice but ex card. i love all of them but still next time can be more budget hor.. like me lidat.. heh but still thanks a lot hanie pokie. haha :-* for spending time with me despite your busy schedule. I cant believe this.. tmr we've booked Dim Sum buffet at dragon gate restaurant to pig out again?! hahaha so that's y i say actually Valentine's Day is not really a time to celebrate coz we are celebrating everytime we are out together. Maybe yesterday was just with the addition of some presents and roses, that's all and it's out 5th month together. Hope everyone did enjoy their V'day regardless of whether they have a partner or not. sigh. one day pass so quickly already. i must get back to my books and mug hard le.. exams are round the corner and i'm still slacking like mad.. arrgh. bye peeps. :) miss ya all hard~ shall upload some pics after Aloy send them to me *waves*

USR'06 rocks

Got back from the race last night, super paralysed. was already aching like mad during the race but still i persevered on and managed to get to the 15th position. ha! the details of the race are as follows:
Intro:
Me, Jing2, Aloysius and Charle formed a team of 4 to join the Uniquely Singapore Race together from the 11th-12th of Feb.
Day One:
We had to report at the Youth Park(behind cine) at 8 in the morning. So i had to wake up at 615 to bathe and get ready coz i wasnt sure if we would get to bathe at night. When we reached there, other teams were already getting ready liao. We werent told of the next destination but had to guess the clue from the drawings our minister of education. Well, the first part was a bit scary coz i tot that a stampede would happen coz all 400+ ppl were chiong-ing to the destination coz the clue was rather easy. So we ran there and deciphered the next clue to be at the Labordor Park. Luckily when we left the park, the bus to the park came and we hopped on. The route to the park was actually a torturous one but we actually cheated halfway coz we took a cab in if not think we'll die a terrible death if we were to walk in. haha when we found the checkpoint, obviously we were the first team to arrive.. haha the next stop was to go to china street to find some places selling pies that is the new singapore icon. apparently we misread the clue and tot that it was at chinatown but couldnt find anything. But still, we were the 1st team to reach the pie shop. Charle said that the pie is quite nice but i was too full to eat. Actually i cant really remember the sequence of the race but so far now. it's still the right sequence. haha the next stop,we went to suntec the fountain of wealth to get our next clue and the clue led us to the merlion where we had to pose with the lion and take a pic. after that we ran all the way down to clarke quay were one of the members had to do a challenge "GMax" oh man.. the reverse bungee thingy. i think it's damn scary but jing2 actually said that she wants to try *applause* haha i wouldnt dare do it coz i scared my heart stop ar.. lolz after that we went to little india and had to use the hanna paste to draw the USR logo on our hands. That was the first time i saw the real thaipusam going on. oh man.. i think it's damn scary lor.. i saw this guy had a pole-like thingy pierced through his mouth and connected to it was a trolley like thingy. i'm not so sure how to describe it but it was super scary and obviously super pain. :X after the henna drawing event, we went to one of the mosque near geylang area i think and we had to play "zero point" , "five stones" and "chapteh" aiyah i dont know how to spell.. haha after that we were give a clue and that we had to buy a lime mag to get to the next destination. but the shitty thing was that all the lime mags around the area have already been sold out and we had to travel all the way to funan to buy the mag. Just like that we've wasted a whole lot of time.The resting place was at Chinatown point but we couldnt find the checkpoint and end up searching for it again. +time wasted+. after a 2 hour break, the next challenge was to make a lantern similar to the sample lantern. it may sound easy but in fact it's not. we spend like 15-20 mins figuring out how to make the lantern and to make it. arrgh but this time we were already shagged, despite having a 2 hour break. if i'm not wrong the next stop was to go to geylang and we had to weigh a 1.5kg durian and eat it. the durian was superb but we had to eat it in a rush so quite pity. after that we rushed off to bedok market under blk 85 and we had to hike down 10km to our resting place for that day. i tell you the 10km hike was like (@^#(^$@(^ coz by that time my legs were already aching and having cramps. the worst thing was that we took a wrong route, got lost and had to walk an addtional 2+km.. arrgh finally we reached east coast park but we had to walk AGAIN to the chalet before our timing stops. luckily we came in 17th and slept in the airconditioned room *yeah* but apparently the air con was too cold and the floor too hard, i kept waking up in the middle of the night. arrgh
Day Two:
Our first stop was at Mac Ritchie reservior. We chose to do the land expedition but we took the wrong and longer route. By that time my knees were aching real bad and i felt like giving up. i dint want to hurt myself just for the race. Maybe that's coz i'm selfish. arrgh. But still, we carried on the next stop, we went to teck whye to get our clue and headed for Qian Hu fish farm. Over there we had to catch 16 fishes and then we can go off. i was happily catching the fishes when i saw Charle beside me, stirring the water like how u stir your milo. haha think he was trying to catch the fish but the fish was too fast for him. :P we completed the task easily and had to rush off to the next destination at Sembawang. The satay club. Oh man the satay was damn good coz we barbequed them ourselves and we also had to eat "yu sheng" in less than 5 mins. we completed that feat easily too coz we were too hungry.. haha the next stop was to go to the sembawang hot spring. we ran all the way in and the challenge was to use the hot spring water to cook an egg. we waited and when it was time, Charle the bravest ate the RAW egg. OMG it was not cooked at all lor. the water isnt hot enough and the egg white was still translucent.*yuck* Still we did it and proceeded on to seletar reservior to get our clue. it was nearly the end of the race le.. we had to travel from seletar to somerset, all the while running and when we got to the visitor centre we had to search for the clue which led us to douby gaut. there, Charle did absailing inside PS, then me jing2 and aloy had to belay him. it was a rather simple task for him coz he did it many times already. After that we ran and took a train down to orchard mrt and ran to scotts the foodcourt downstairs. it is the first foodcourt in a mall in singapore! we had to do something like the "shi zi lu kou" kind and had an 1 hr break there. from there we tot we just had to zoom to zouk thinking that it was the last stop but it wasnt. we had to go to raffles place first to visit an underground mosque. cool right? but we dint visit it coz we werent properly attired. after that we were given another 1 hr to rest before setting off for Zouk. It was the final countdown already. we ran all the way from the bus stop to Zouk and came in 15th. :))At last we completed the race, our timing was 33+ hours. WE COMPLETED THE RACE IN LESS THAN 34 HOURS!!! What an achievement! haha After that we chilled out at Zouk for an hour or so whilst waiting for the lucky draw( as if we are lucky enough to win anything) then we headed home.
Though we dint win anything from the race, but what i really gained from this race is stronger friendship and even to get to know singapore better. It was very-super-duper-extra tiring but still it was very enjoyable. Even though we had our agruments and unhappiness, i still treasure my team mates very much. Credit to go to Jing2 for organising us to join the race, Charle for navigating the route for us, Aloysius, my dear dear, thanks for being there for me when my legs felt like breaking, supporting me and caring for me throughout the race. Thanks for staying up to talk to me even when u are feeling super tired already. Thanks Dear :* -i dont know why i love you coz feelings cant be explained-

...............................................

Guess a lot that has happened recently has got me thinking.. every small little thing. Apparently my mum has gotten wind that both me and my sis had bfs and she has been questioning us and lecturing us every night to find out the truth. the good thing? both of us denied la but my stupid sis actually went to tell my dad everything and the shit thing is that my dad "bao dou" her... so too bad.. haha but seriously this time i actually can feel my mum's concern for us but maybe in a wrong way? as in like she was more like intergorrating us rather than asking out of concern lor.. but still.. i can sense her concern.. haha she actually laid conditions i think no guys can ever reach lor.. so i think i just treat it as though she was nagging la.. i mean afterall i'm the one marrying the guy and staying with him for the rest of my life and not my mum dou.. so why should i do everything she says? i'm not sure if she's gonna approve aloy or what but we'll try to do our best.. i've thought of a damn "jian" strategy and needa the cooperation of either christina, caleb or fishy.. haha so peeps now all is up to you! haha.. shant rattle on the not-so-happy events dou.. erms.. oh yes CNY has just come and go and KAAA CHIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm rich again.. finally and i found a few items to splurge on already.. oh man.. i must try and control.. haha as if i say le will do lidat.. but CONTROL I MUST!!! arrgh yawn.. cant believe i skipped today's lect and stayed at home to slack or should i say do my own revision? haha sian man..
