My (only) Bday present and some thoughts

My chio holga camera. Bday present from my girls. :)

And in fact, my only present for this year's bday. But actually i'm fine with no presents. Because i felt that there's nothing i really need or want. Ok have lah... But i know it's not within anyone's budget and i'm depending on myself. :) So i had quite a hard time deciding on what i want from them until the idea of toy cameras came across my mind. And omg it's quite addictive. Janice i totally understand. hahaha.

And i've already started using it.. but cos it's different from using a dslr which i've been frequently using one lately, it's sometimes difficult to rmb the steps to take a new photo with this manual camera. haha. and i'm still getting used to the reflex lens. (always shift in wrong direction) lol.

As for my own reward for myself. I'm already determined to get myself a iPod Touch. I wanted to get it with my 2nd month pay, but then ah, it nv came true, till now. And i dunno why, it just didn't happen. I think it's due to my usual stingy-ness in getting any gadgets. I'm not used to spending a lump sum at one goal. Makes me draw back my ideas sometimes. (fyi: the ipod(s) i ever had are all foc. if not i dun think i will possess any one of them) And cos my phone is also at the danger of having the whole screen gone, and my internet is pissing me off, so much so i wanted to terminate the contract plus demand for breaching waiver, so that i can get an iphone. But also, i have yet to take the action. hais. I really should take some action. When i have all the time to sit at home and talk out with the singnet ppl.

Then last thing to say abt my bday. (HAHA). It's really nothing great and so I appreciate and thank every single person who remembered my birthday and bothered to drop me a msg on fb, sms and msn. Even if u didn't wish me and actually rmb after that, it's ok! We'll try again next year. You know it's just like a test of friendship. Some all-time friends that you haven't met for quite some time, and you don't know if they are still friends to u, wait for the birthday to come. If you wished that friend happy birthday, and he/she did the same, most probably friendship still applies. Cos be honest, if u dun really regard a person as a friend, or u think he/she doesn't regard u as a close friend, you wouldn't even bother to wish him/her. Same for me! =X haha. FB is such a convenient thing now, I used to rmb all my friend's bday by hard/my organiser (which i still do). If not for fb, i dun think i get 100 wishes from my friends. So ya. Thanks for still treating me as a friend! :D I would so much wanted to list out every one of u. but that would be too tiring. Sorry. Hee. 

And i need to sleep now. I hope i have have my desired possession(s) soon! :D

Asswai Chalet - June 2010

Wah. My post is really going to be so outdated. haha!!! It's abt SYCO chalet! hahahaha. Yes. That outdated. =P

Anyway, due to some miscalculations, actually i was only at the chalet for less than 24h and missed out the funniest time of all. :( Anyhows, still enjoyed the whole time there. With ppl i like. :D And this is the super disadvantage of working life... so enjoy while u are still a student. It's much, much, much more fun. But anyway i still had my bit of fun with the ppl there lah. Any time spent with them would be filled with fun and laughter. Anyone would have agreed. :)

So ya, on the first day i was already terribly late for the chalet. haha! Went home after work to get the barangs cos i dun want to bring them to work... Then after dinner i decided to wait for jon tan and joyce... Ok in the end they were the ones waiting for me at the pasir ris mrt station. haha! Then we took our own sweet time to take bus and then walk in from downtown east which is 15min or near. Haha. so by the time we reached the chalet.. it's kinda 9/9.30pm? lol. So they asked why am I so late. And the answer is so simple: because i'm from SYCO! HAHA! So true. true blue syco person. Haha!

Many were there already lah... and some leaving soon. Like what? I just reached leh! haha. But in the end still got to play some games with those who stayed till late or didn't go home. :) Some ice-breaker, actually the kids are doing not bad already, considering they are the first years while the rest of us are already there for so long and so familiar with each other. And of the ppl there, i'm the ONLY 2nd batch who stayed on throughout. can't believe it.

Like all the chalets i've been to, nv got the chance to reserve a place for myself on the bed for the night. So ruijun joeltan and i ended up sleeping on the floor and it's like damn cold. Some others didn't get to sleep as well despite having 4 rooms!! wah! They should give us some mattress as well.

We finally got to sleep while some of them went out for their breakfast/lunch and then get food back for us. Went for cycling in the afternoon, double-biked with joeltan. First time trying. Quite fun. but that joeltan cycle so fast! Anyway it started to rain so we didn't cycle for very long. And joeltan got his jacket dirty, i seriously didn't know that i helped him got it so long ago!! hahaha.

Too bad I couldn't stay for 2nd night. Can't witness joeltan's infamous acts. And the last of his acts in Sg too. :( Joeltan i will seriously miss u like mad. Pls save enough money for us to go there and find u! I'd be very happy! Or go and find/set up a CO there and ask syco to there for exchange. I'm sure we will all be VERY glad to go! :D

I'm really gonna miss every single one in SYCO if i got to leave it. (erm.. maybe not all. HAHA) Just like i said in my fb status that day, "One thing we got to learn to do with stride is letting go. I still can't do it well yet". And that's perhaps the reason why i'm still holding on to it. So many things i couldn't let go, or rather, couldn't bear to let go. I'm still learning. I'm sure i will be able to do it. Haha enough for the emo part. Heh.

Eh. I really lazy to upload the photos here. Help urself at my fb ok? hahaha.

12062010 :)

Aiyo... June is over already... :( It's kinda my fav month for these few years. Not just becos it's my bday month. In fact, i'm not really doing anything great for my bday. Just simple meet-ups with friends most of the time. The usual 2 grps of ppl now. COgang and Royal Family. However, just so happened that for these 2 years, i get to see the sy ppl on my bday! Which is a happy happy thing! :D

Hmm.. On my bday itself, I got to teach the little kid at west coast plaza before enjoying my day. So after the lesson, went down to MBS Hotel to meet my family for the Buffet. It was a sudden suggestion by myself cos my sis and I were cracking our heads as to where to eat before the weekend came. Service was really good. Food is good. Desserts are the best. I was full till night time. No joke abt that. haha! But we were too busy wanting to try everything, no time for pictures. Thank u. haha. And it was really what I call quality time. Although I very much ended my day with them after the lunch and went on to meet the asswais before the concert.

Coincidentally, for 2 years, SCO have to have a concert right on my birthday. Last year it was quite a surprise visit to the concert - The Jazz Concert. Cos i wasn't intending to go at first. But we were offered free tickets for the friday's concert (which falls on my bday itself). So eventually I went. Then this year, since I reckon that I wun be doing much on my bday as well, I might as well go for the concert cos I know it's going to be an awesome one. :) It's the 吹拉弹打 concert. And much much to my surprise, met my 2 nyco girls. So high to see them! haha. Then went to chill with them and bear and tzw after the concert. Sorry to ps the sy ppl but i really haven't seen them for a long time! =P And mr. bearbear lau very kindly send us home! :D

The concert was good anyway. Very awesome performances by the soloists!! SCO haven't had ZR solo for such a long time I can't even rmb when was the last one. Zhang is really good. Song is nice too. :) Percussion concerto was damn cool, Shen had to play whatever percussion instru written in the piece all by himself. Like WOW! ALL u know. The 2 most memoriable pieces.

Well. Anyway I thank the sy ppl for buying me a small cake. (for me to eat only). And making me wait so long for them past our meeting time. (it's a sy thing after all. haha) And singing bday song for me in the public. And had a great time with them. Thanks my dear friends. :)) I'm a happy girl on my bday. haha!
