New Seven Wonders and some others.

Haven't updated for the past few days... haven't been doing much or going anywhere also lah... Saved me quite a lot of money in result... for all i've spent last week or so.. haha!

Anyway... i was home most of the days this week lah... except for fri and sat... the rest of the days i'm just slacking away at home... haha. including today. Dunno why but i'm super tired... even the original intention of watching the NEW 7 Wonders of the World announcing ceremony was foiled cos i felt asleep... and the person who watched was my mother. lol!

I dunno if anyone of u knows this... but now we have a new list of the world's 7 wonders! (not that we all know the ancient list)... well... i didn't know either.. but they were listed by some Greek observers some 2000 years ago... and the places are more concentrated in the Middle East and Mediterranean.. out of the list... a few were situated in Eygpt... Let's reminiscence the ancient 7 wonders.. The Great Pyramid of Gize, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria. But anyways... only the pyramid survived till today... the rest were all destroyed by natural disaster or such.

And now the newly announced 7 wonders in the world.. these 7 are polled highest among 21 nominations. The Great Wall of China, Petra of Jordan, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico, Colosseum of Rome, Taj Mahal in Agra, India. And The pyramid remained as a Honorary candidate of this whole event.. for more news... You can refer to this article if u want to know more. :) Or simply search of 'seven wonders' in Yahoo! and there will be a whole list to choose. It's quite cool lah... the other 'candidates' that lost includes the Eiffel Tower, The Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House and so on so on.

I think the idea is quite cool since most of the ancient wonders aren't ard anymore.. should give credit to some existing ones? Like that then we can set a goal to visit the wonders mah! haha!! I would like to go to the India one... cos the picture looks really nice.. dunno does it look exactly the same in real anot lah... haha. But actually there are a lot of other wonders that we all should explore too. :))) Disclaimer: Above is solely my personal opinions. heex.

Ok.. now back track... Fri went out for steamboat with my family.. excluding er-jie... including relatives who came from Indonesia for holidays and san-jiu's family and grandaunt and Ann-auntie. But the place is super difficult to find for first timers lah! But then.. dad and i didn't take very long to find it lah... cos i keep urging my dad to stop thinking and just walk with me. haha! if not i think he will take years to find also... like da-jie and uncle ronnie. =x Anyway was not bad lah... but think the ppl like eat so little leh. And i think i didn't really had my fill too... cos when i still wanted to eat.. all of them stopped liao? Haha! Ok lah.. it's not really a bad place to go since it's so ulu that not many ppl will go there. haha! It's not as hot, stuffy and noisy like marina bay... dun need to go so far... but have to walk quite a distance from Eunos mrt lah. dotx. But $9.90 nett lah... so dun complain huh. haha!

Sat.. Went for MCO prac for the first time for the ShangriLa performance. Oh man... sure is quite bad... haha! However... we've passed a day at woodlands and sent back safely by laoshi. Another 2 weeks of prac to go... 3 weeks to performance... And it means 3 more weeks to HK too! haha! =P

SYCO prac starting tmr! Means i wun be free on mon and wed night till beautiful sunday is over. Good or bad.. hard to say. haha! but whatever it is... Enjoy ba... even thou i can predict that tmr's prac wun be very good... since there's only left with so few of us... and i haven't started looking at the scores yet. haha! =x And cannot watch campus superstar anymore also... dotx.

Okok... that's all.. till the next time. think i'll update tmr night ba.. haha!
