Packed my room. Actually its done about 2 weeks ago but i am jus too lazy to blog it down at that moment. Nevertheless i must make a note of it due to several reasons.

First, Room tidying is a MAJOR project that i have to undertake every term vacation. Rubbish jus accumulates in my room and i am such a slob. :P

Secondly, this project lasts several days. In between there are many short and long breaks. And lots of time in between procastinating....

3rdly I am proud of it and want to show off!!!! muahahaha

Happy Birthday!

Sormui's bday. We had buffet at Kuishibo, a japanese resturant in Suntec City Mall. What a great place it was. But before we got there....

Driving to Suntec city from Choa Chu Kang was quite a pain and i got terribly lost...

It took us 1.5 hours, 1/4 tank of fuel, and god knows how many U-turns before we got ourselves out of the urban maze, hit the right street and got to ourselves to our destination. Who says women can't read maps. Haha, she is an exception i guess. She navigated us there while i got hopelessly disorientated behind the wheel, driving like a madman trying to keep my temper in check :p

Nevertheless... we still got there!


Back to the resturant. I noticed that nowadays if u are dining in pairs, you will get a 2 seater table that is awfully close to another 2 seater table. It is as thou u are dining with 2 other strangers. What they say u can hear and vice-versa. Talk about a loss of personal space and privacy.... At times, i think we must be careful while attacking that piece of chicken or crab or it might just lose control and let if fly to your neighbouring diner's soup!
The food there is fantastic. Its authentic Japanese food, and you can eat as much as u want! Need i say more??? Let the pictures do the talking... (warning, do not look if u haven't had dinner yet. I am not responsible for yur rumbling stomach! )



We started off with Sushi. This picture was taken when we had already finished some of it!!! Just cannot wait till after the photo is taken... haha

This is the Japanese Steamboat. So cool huh! There is this little basket mounted on a small candle burner that resembles those u see being used for aroma therapy.On the little basket is a cone shape wax paper used to hold the soup!!! It tastes as great as the food. Next time i shall find the paper and try that at home.

Next, we had some finger foods. The fried prawns, softshell crabs and so on. Boy were they good.....

The Japanese makes one of the best egg custards! This one was simply delicious. Sormui dun like the pea. Hey, u better learn to eat yur veggies girl! There is a piece of chicken at the bottom. Its wierd that its there. Guess that its for the favouring.

And of course!!! Sashimi. No japanese buffet can be without it! I ate lotsa lotsa sashimi that night. I simply just love it.

Back!!!

Back home at last! Rotaract FOC 2005 ~~~ FEEL... has been surprisingly fun. Haha.... i think that we had more fun than the participants themselves. Despite the initial fustrations and draggy planning process, in the end it all turns out well. Better than expected.... haa!

Was rather surprised with the turn out. It was surprisingly good. The group size was not too large and not too small. It was just nice.

On the first day we had beach games at desaru followed by a nights stay at the resort there. It was heavily infested with mosquitoes!!!! I was bitten upside down, inside out. Even now i still feel itchy on certain parts of my body. Sigh.....

<--- pic of our resort. A nice little chalet with lotsa mosquitos :P




The 2nd day was spent at Cheshire home Johor. Was rather impressed since the home looked very new. But Junie mentioned that we shouldn't only let our sympaties flow and be helpful only when we see the home looking rundown and poor. This shld be the bare minimum any human being deserves. Well, that made mi actually feel quite ashamed of thinking that they looked rich why still need help???? Well... welfare homes always need help because they are not recieving any financial help or backing from the government or any organisation and must source for funds on their own. The reason why Cheshire looked quite rich ( have own ambulance and physio gym) is because they sells handicrafts, and for the one at Johor, they build a dorm and rent it out to travellers for revenue. They make good use of their funds to make more funds. Business minded right? Yep. I think its good in a way that they are rather self sufficient. But they are still need alot of help in terms of manpower and money. Cause they are not so well known or publicised as NKF :P

I must say that after 1 year, i am still not used to interacting with the residents there. Some of them are mentally disabled and they are so wierd that i am rather uncomfortable at times with them. But they are pretty harmless and they do appreciate our company. Sometimes, they jus want someone to talk to and listen. Just so little from us means so much to them. Touched................. This camp has also made mi realised that some people really have a heart of gold and can so sincerely and lovingly interact and go all out to make the residents happyl. They feed them and take them out for walks early in the morning. Wow.... saints....!!! I really admire them :)

some photos.........................
( next time.. can't seemed to get them uploaded
