KTV session.

Went to KTV today with Joey, Clarence and Ziman. We all went to Party World at orchard and I must say, the way they furnish the KTV... it makes it look damn sleezy. From the deco, to the sofas, to the doors with golden handles...... the whole KTV reminds me of some sleezy shanghai night club or some " ham shup" KTV. Kaoz..... At first should have 2 more ppl with us, but Weiling and her bf, Zhenming are coming later. The KTV was rather fun although i have great difficulting singing those chinese songs coz i jus dunno how to read the words!!!!!!!! Joey was beside me, reading out practically every line of lyrics in advance for me : P. YEs!!! My chinese is that bad !!! I can speak and listen to chinese pretty well but when it comes to reading and writing ....its no No NO!!!!
Ya for those of u scratching your heads now ...thinking that erm.... what the hell is alex doing in the ktv....well....i must say its all thanks to joey. I used to be very shy with the mircophone....and ...i do have a lousy voice and am terribly tone deaf. ( i think i still am !! ) Joey was the one encouraging me saying things like ...eh ...its not that bad lah ..... can one lah .....  Hmmmm... that gradually built up my confidence i guess..... Thanks sooo much sormui.... :)
Later, after the ktv, met up with the rest of the kpoh group. They are, sam, weiling and zhenming. Why kpoh group??? Coz all of us share something in common. We are all damn Kpoh !!!! Everything also want to know! And some of them are powerful gossipers ( not in the bad sense though ) The moment we sat down on the table, the girls started gossiping abt the latest news, clothes whatever whatever...............girls lah ....... We ordered this huge sea food platter accompanied by a pizza. What a feast!!! Then after the meal, while walking around, zm saw earings going cheap for $10 for 3 pairs. So she asked joey and sam to each get one too so that can be cheaper. So the next 30 mins or so was spent deciding which ones to buy, who to buy more, .which one nicer, which one looks common blah blah blah..... until they FINALLY settle down on a choice. In the end the funny thing was ...its was zm who suggested getting earrings and end up i got joey a pair and sam got 2. Hmmmmm .......girls ah !!!!!  hai~~~~  : P heehee....anyways the one that they got was really nice lah .... so no complains...happy can liao lor :)

Millenia Walk Fountains

Went to Millenia Walk. The fountains are sooooo nice. The lighting, the sound of the water flowing..... a romantic night out with a love one :D As usual, on our way there, she was saying that i will sure get lost again. Hmmm am i that bad... but ok lah i do admit that i have i bad sense of directions, not to mention equally poor memory. Anyway, in the end some old grey cells of mine still retain an impression on how to get there and we reached there eventually after a few detours :P We walked around messing with the digi cam that i brought along. TOok a few pictures here and there. Then i got this idea of going to the glass panel behind and take our reflection off those glass panels. It took many tries thou, before we could get it right. In the end its sormui who got it right ah ..... :D She was happily saying again and again " see see .....still say i cannot take photos"
aiyoz..........sorry lahz......
 


Took our reflections off the glass panel at millenia walk fountains..... it took us quite a while...but i think it turns out very nice :D I took this one ...but its abit off centre


This is the picture that sormui took. We finally got it right this time!!! After looking at it both of us think its rather creepy ah ... look like casper in the rain on some dark stormy night :P

My driving license.......... FiNaLLy!!!!!!!!!!

Took my diving test today ......
I woke up actually feeling "kan jiong". Thats rather strange.... ususally i am rather calm about such things. I checked the clock. 5.30am.  Woah thats a bit early.... still got another one hour plus to sleep before needing to get out of bed. I tried to sleep somemore until it was eventually 6.45am before i got up.
Had takeaways for breakfast then got down to ubi driving centre. Traffic was heavy and the bus, utterly congested. I reached there some 45mins later.

The morning`s circuit practice before the test was a nightmare. I made many mistakes. Missed a turning, overshot white line, hit the kerb during crank course, and hit the kerb again during parallel parking. Parallel parking!!!!!!! this is the first time i hit the kerb during parallel parking in all my one year plus plus experience as a trainee!!! And it had to be today!! :(

So when i started the actual test later, i was rather calm, thinking that i was doomed to failure. However, i went throught the circuit without any mistakes and slowly, my confidence builts up. It was unevenful on the road too, except that when a lorry comes out of a junction and cut into my lane suddenly. Thankfully i was alert. When i finally reached the driving centre, the tester told mi to turn right into the sheltered area. Happy be be back i turned in, rather too fast, resulting in a very wide turn. Then, i turned into the left lane immediately without checking in went into the shelter, again too fast.......... opppppss!!!!!!! ( it`s always me to get complacent in the last min and blow it all ) With that, the tester angrily turned around and said, " Wahhhhh, u horrible driver, never check blindspot ah !!!!!!! " I turned around sheepishly.
" U ah ....some ppl seldom check blindspot ....some ppl sometimes check ......as for U, u NEVER checked at all ......thats really terrible....u can cause accident u know.....u better improve your driving technique.......and u better be careful in future......blah blah blah blah !!!!!!!!! " said in an agitated tone.

"shucks.......this time ah .....sure fail again ah "

After his lecture, he put a tick at the passed box and handed me my test slip. I was very surprised....did he tick wrongly anot? I checked the paper and added the marks ...hmmm 18 ...so is pass. It took awhile for this piece of information to sink in......before ......woooooohooooooo
I passed ..!!!!!!!!! I finally passed!!!!!!!  

Joey and I met up with Clarence and his gf, zhiman for a movie today. We watched King Arthur. It was Clarence who suggested watching the show together. Althought initially i thought of going east coast to cycle with Joey today, i thought that this group dating thing was a pretty good idea......so why not? Its rare to find common friends. I do admit that initially i felt rather wierd, sorta like don`t know what to say .... but its ok ..we will get over it soon. I mean, come on this is the only the first such outing right. Its sometimes rather awkward when we all like dunno what to say. Zhiman was like trying to start some sorta conversation and i think both me and Joey has got nothing much to add on to it...... erm.... perhaps we still haven warmed up to it yet lah .....hope that we didn`t make Clarence and Zhiman feel uncomfortable or anything. Haahaa anyways it was nice meeting Zhiman, the one that Clarence always speak so fondly of :) Hope that there will be more such outings in future, and this time Weiling and Zhengming comes along too!!!

As for the movie... i think it was rather disappointing. The characters have no depth and even when they die, u don`t feel for them. The plot is weak too...... not much nerve wreaking action too.

Hall Application successful

I recieved the email last friday. Naturally i was overjoyed. Of course happy lah ~~ can save on travelling time ... 3 hours in total each day !!! thats alot of time that i can spend on doing other more meaningful things. I was given the old kent ridge. At first i thought that i was allocated Extension A. Extension A is like kwok. The building is relatively new and its high rise, with the highest storey being 8th storey. However i was rather disappointed to be allocated to the old kent ridge. That place is damn old man..... its like a haunted house!!!!!! There are no facilities either .....NO FACILITIES Wah ........ as what Rayner ( my roommate last sem ), make friend with pointainak.
 
*shivers*
 
Hmmm... so dunno want to stay anot leh ........ must weigh the pros and cons. I really hope to find accomodation. If not, must travel up and down ... waste time and very tiring as well.... furthermore, i am a person that cannot function without sleep. Furthermore, if i choose to stay, i can spend more time with joey during the semester. More able to accompany her when she got free periods. 
Hmmmm pros and cons............. but if i choose to stay ....hopefully Rayner can be my neighbour.... got some company is better. Furthermore .... both of us can be daaaammnn crappy, so it will be fun. Beats staying alone....so sianzzzzzz
