What a week, What a sem. It's the time of the school year where everything starts piling up, from deadlines to presentations to individual assignments to tests. They are all coming! From now till 12 Feb, i just have to tahan. i'll have an average of 2 deadlines per week, excluding presentations and tests. Corporate Communication is super busy man, i should have taken electives like Marketing. but they dun offer HR & Marketing anyway. sian.
As promised, something abt ice lemon tea. Remember my blog entry some time ago abt this malay seafood stall near our sch which sells nice fried rice and where the auntie is super nice and friendly but they have to pay a rent of $10k/mth? the groupies go there an average of once per week, and everytime we go there she will be there to greet us with a smile and talk to us. her stall is, by the way, at Blk 829, tampines ave 3. everytime the 6 of us go there, we will buy their homemade lemon tea. it's quite nice, but its not 100% lemon tea. its nice coz dinesh found out that they mix it with calamansi. and one cup is always not enuf for komala, me and dinesh. so we always have to end up ordering a second cup. total cost for 2 cups is $2. sometimes after the 2nd cup i still feel thirsty.
Then there was once the auntie remembered that we keep ordering twice, then she told me: 'U all should order the big cup! also $2! more worth it.' then i was like ya ok. but at the back of my head i was thinking yeah right how worth it can ur $2 big cup get? at most its just the amount of 2 small cups put together with ALOT of ice. coz tts usually the case. the next time we went back, dinesh komala and i decided to take a shot, we ordered the $2 big cup iced tea. the rest bought the usual small cup. the outcome? look below...
OWNING!!!! I was like, WAT THE HELL?!?!?!? SO BIG??!? it was so big that after i drank 3/4 of it, i cannot tahan anymore, my stomach bloated already. whoa seriously worth it. go get ur big cup of ice lemon tea today! hahaha.
Haha the groupies were rather stressed on mon, coz after coming back from their weekends, they got bombarded with deadlines. dun worry groupies, we'll pull through every deadline together. and they destress by taking dumb videos. and its fine with them coz they weren't the dumb ones, it was me. here is what i mean...
This is a picture of a cookie...
Here's the challenge...How many bites/mouths does it take u to finish this cookie, or one thats around this size? watch the following video, but do not try this anywhere.
and if u've watched the movie THE HOLIDAY, below is a singaporean version of the napkin man!
Alright! thats all for today, shall blog again when i have the time. so long and good night. OK LA BYE!

Inspirational Quote of the Day: Everything Happens for a Reason
Hi there, it's been a long time i know. Tried to blog but sometimes i forgot.
2 reasons:
1) I am busy with projects and assignments (as usual)
2) I have nth interesting to blog abt. And i dun wana tell u all how i woke up, how i brushed my teeth, how i went to sch, blabla. so boring. no offense to other bloggers though.
Got back our HR project. 76/100. It's good enough for me, considering the fact that everything i do this sem, its a B+. So i can say tt i'm consistent. Its only to make me feel better. I just hope each of the groupies wun feel that their individual parts pulled the whole group down. I wun even exchange 10marks for 10days without you guys, coz u all r everything i could have asked for. i say this for 2 reasons:
1) i dun wan u all to lose confidence in the next HR problem (HAHAHA!)
2) it came from the bottom of my heart (AWWWW...)
Oh ya, last tues was jason's birthday. Loyal readers of my blog should know jason, the guy who sniffed pepper at macs. his birthday was last week. and it was fun seeing tt guy grow one year older. i say this for 2 reasons:
1)This was him in 2006
2) This is him in 2007
and of coz, the 106 guys who turned up. many are still missing.
Well other stuff which are worth mentioning, 2/7 of the lamers (now known as L7), Wenjun and nicholas, have gone to the university of pulau tekong for a degree in National Service just a couple of days ago. It just feels so different without you guys, but however sad the occasion will be, i will not get emo. I say this for 2 reasons:
1) Its only for 1yr 10months
2) After I get into the university of pulau tekong myself, it'll just be months before u both ORD (sheet!).
We had a sinful dinner at suntec's fish and co. How sinful? Oil literally squirts out whenever u cut a piece of fish. And after that i ate mac's ice-cream. I can feel it, the FATS, they are picking on me!
Nicholas and wenjun (respectively from left to right) are the two guys seated down. Nicholas is already well-prepared for his admission into the lovely island full of mosquitoes and wild boars.
Everyone wants a piece of nicholas' head, but meijun just wans to eat a slice of lemon.
And for 18yrs 7months of my life, now then i know that we can go into suntec's fountain of wealth. I say this for 2 reasons:
1) i thought we had to pay to get in
2) the security guards look damn fierce
Take Note: Weeyang is smart indeed. While all of us had arms around each other, he decides to put his right hand down, in the hope of holding shing's hand. A CUNNING PLAN!
and if u didn't realise, all of L7's pics, we were standing in alternate colours of black and white. its bcoz on that day, it just so happened that 4 of us wore white and the other 3 wore black! lol.
I think i better stop here. I'll blog about Iced Lemon Tea in my next entry. And i promise to blog again by latest thurs. I have to stop here for now. I say this for 2 reasons:
1) The entry is getting a little too long (partially bcoz of pics)
2) I lazy to type already whohoo!
So long and good night.
OK LA BYE!

Happy new year! i'm gona start off the new year with some typical singaporean whining. U see, i have this corporate journalism assignment, and i'm supposed to come up with a human-interest story. so looking at the word human-interest, if i interpret it word for word, then it should be a story which is of interest to humans. so to me, as long as it is interesting can already. so i came up with a story and planned it. then i emailed my tutor to ask, and she said a human interest story should talk about a human or an aspects of human nature that are interesting. so a human-interest story, is about HUMANS. damn it. need to rethink and rewrite.
Anyway, Death Note 2 is super nice. Really damn nice, unique storyline filled with suspense. death note 2 was 2hrs 15mins long excluding ads, but it kept me glued to my seat throughout the movie. i really encourage u guys to catch it. but if u haven watched death note, dun watch the sequel, coz it would be meaningless. tampines mall has this detah note marathon where u can watch both 1 and 2 together for a special price. then again, its not advisable coz if u do tt, then u will be in for a 4 and a half hr movie marathon. got stamina bo? i'm dying for the original movie dvds to be released. i'll definitely buy it. my favourite movie yet. and i cant help but say tt misa amane, played by erika toda, is so damn pretty. she is the first girl whom i'm willing to fork out money to buy the original dvd for. she is damn cute!
Note: i wun even spend money on jessica alba, not even boa. but erika, yes i will!
Well, last nite's countdown sucked to the core of every1's balls. we went orchard first, and there was not really much of a crowd, since vivo is having such a huge concert and esplanade has the fireworks display. we cant spray any1 anymore coz the police have raided all the mini shops tt sell spray cans. and every 100m, there is a police guardhouse tentage, and every 50m there will be a policeman standing guard. so screwed. ruined every1's day. bloody singapore, cant even enjoy during the new year. i know its good coz banglas cant molest girls, but its also bad coz we cant torture the banglas. oh well.
so we headed down to esplanade. and city-link mall was jam-packed with people! so it was after 10pm, the air-con was off, people were squeezing, and it was so bloody hot. every1 was perspiring. but there was a jam in front, and we couldnt turn back anymore coz it was too crowded. after like half an hour we finally could get to the escalator near the Adidas boutique. and there was another jam -_-". and people on the escalator were higher than us, and they kept taking photos. so we were like: "WALK LA! JAM ALREADY STILL STOP AND TAKE PHOTO, NV SEE PEOPLE B4 ISIT?!?!"
hoho but when i got on the escalator, i realized y every1 wanted to take a photo. and i also took one eventually hahahaha!
OWNING! so long and good nite.
