NeW YeAr 2007!!
December 31st, 2006 | Author: gabriel

decided to blog after months of post-less blog… suddenly found the importance in it when i was out celebrating new year and i can’t remember how i celebrated 2006 new year… i remember there was once where we went to polo ground my group of friends.. then can see all the malay people camping in the middle of the field.. haha

But for this year.. it was rather quiet…. alot of people not around, i think… the people that i normally hang out with, like euwen and ian has their own plans. omega. delicia and yvonne in kl.. shake’s in sg… chin ping back in JB, jill back in penang…

anyway, ended up with ee lin, xing min and chun hao.. there was yew lok, jia juh and kent yuen.. but they went back early.. yee hui had family affairs and yee weng lazy to go out.. haha… then the elim ppl’s in elim church.. hmm.. that’s about where everyone else is… i think…

was at Go Oriental to catch up on things… then when it’s near midnight, we went to y2k area. Surprisingly, the atmosphere there improved. They extended the pub to the outside of the road and there’s this big big screen in the middle of the road for count down.. and there’s this super big crowd everywhere in the vicinity… oh well, it was fun though.. in a way.. haha…

but because nobody else is around, and we didn’t know where to go or what to do.. decided to call it a day off… haha… so much for the last few hours of 2006!
Hello, 2007!!

Christmas 2006!
December 25th, 2006 | Author: gabriel

Another year, another Christmas.. It’s always been an occasion worth waiting for.. This year’s Christmas was rather a special one. Like always, there are a few new faces for this year’s Christmas, that is, Jessie, my brother’s gf & Wellna, my sister’s maid. But there was less Mr George Goh as he had to tend to his duty back in kl.


Everyone came back on the 23rd. Grace flew from Jakarta to yi che’s house, then everyone came back filling up the house with a Christmas atmosphere. Annie and Ashley were with us in the house along with wellna. Wellna is a Kadazan and is only 16 years old! She didn’t have the privilege to attend school and has 10/11 siblings… But I think she’s quite lucky to be under the care of Alice.


We had 2 open-house for Christmas this year. Once, on the 23rd where all my mother’s friend came for pot luck and the second one is on the 25th itself. In a way, it is a good idea to reduce the congestion of people on christmas day itself. This year, there were a few “opened and is-currently-use” presents; my father’s dvd video camera and grace’s panasonic lumix digicam. We took a video on x’mas day! Quite fun to play with actually.


Anyway, on to the Christmas party!! For food, koko and jessie made the pork potato balls, yi che fried the wanton and nuggets with the new induction cooker.! Sache made some fried beehoon and chicken/beef spaghetti. Then, there was the turkey, the kunyit rice with chicken curry. All the food was good and delicious!! Fortunately, there’s Wellna to take care of all the washing.. =)

Not many of my friends came compared to last year. The earliest was jit-vern, who came at 2. Then, euwen came with jill and sinnyi at about 3, together with omega and chong chyn. Shake and von was supposed to come! But they had a lunch appointment with the MC ppl and von had to rush back to go back to kl on the night itself. Yee hui didn’t manage to come though, Ian decided not to come to teman kean fatt and suk mun play bowling and the rest are either not around Ipoh or I never call them.. Haha..


Went to yumcha and met up with Ian, kean fatt and eugene (euwen’s bro) at kopitiam at about 4-5pm. Had a short session there and went home for a rest. There’s some slight changes to the opening of presents cause Christie has to go to Taiping to visit his sister. Hence, the opening of presents was delayed till they return from Taiping which was about 11pm.. Not too late though.. I had lots of nice presents for xmas!! Firstly, a casio watch from rosemary and alice, then, ginseng powder from my mom, wallet from my dad, a nice white shirt from grace. a USD50 polo shirt from James and a yellow Nike shoulder bag worth RM229 (in which, I tipped off RM50 cause yiche said it’s too expensive).. Haha.. Then, my mom had her camera phone. Rosemary bought my parents a 2D 1N stay at the Cyberview Spa and Resort in Cyberjaya where they are entitled to a session of massage and spa! All in courtesy of Rosemary and Christie. Oh, then there were a duplicate present this year.. LOL.. Two “All about Mercedez” book for my dad. One bought by James and Jessie (J&J) while the other bought by Alice. In the end, Jessie took back to exchange an Oxford Thesaurus for my dad and a book on ways to longetivity for my mom 2-3 days later. After opening of presents, it’s just about time for James, Jessie and Grace to return to KL. J&J had work on the 26th while Grace has a morning flight to Jakarta from KLIA cause has to work on the 26th as well.


While for the rest of us, we went to kl after lunch on the 26th. Went there to help yiche to unpack her house, and for my parents to use their “massage and spa” gift. I enjoyed myself too! Eating lots of nice and expensive food in kl… =) And I bought myself a new 120GB 2.5″ External Hard Disk that costs RM315 + RM45 from Cycom.. No more worries bout hard disk space now!

21st Birthday
October 27th, 2006 | Author: admin

A lot of ppl said that the 21st birthday is a special one, and that’s when you’ll receive the ‘golden key’ as the chinese would say.. it symbolizes freedom, maturity and the such.. haha

My 21st birthday was a simple and thoughtful day. Let’s see, my first task when I’m awake was to wake elaine up. Haha.. But I was awaken by su ping’s sms wish earlier first… oooh, and a lot of ppl wished me the night before.. Haha… thanks..

Then, my class supposed to start at 930, and I would normally wait at the bus stop at 9am.. So, I went.. And halfway to the bus stop, yingsin called me… and asked me to go back to my room! Haha.. And there they were, yingsin, may yann and chee kheng, outside my room.. Apparently, yingsin woke up at 7am, made sandwich with the sandwich maker, and mushroom soup which was rather diluted… then, I had to be the first to try the cornflake cookie that she baked for her bf… more like, burnt cookie… haha… Nevertheless, it’s the thought that counts… then pei yin brought ferrero rocher chocolate for me… and yea, so we had our breakfast in can 13…

Was late for class for about 20 minutes… and after 2 hours of lecture, we had lunch at can A, with the addition of suping and ta peiing… After that, went to the ’sex is not a game’ exhibition outside OCBC, and proceeded to look for seats to study! Library A was packed, library 2 was also packed… we ended up in the media resource library with the ‘reserved computers’ as our table… the computer’s damn chun though… or at least, the headphones lar… seinheisser’s headphones that has a volume control for each channel… and each comp headphone output has been spitted into 2. There were 4 of us, me, ys, my and kah weng… Anyway, wasn’t too long there before we got ‘kicked out’ by the rightful users for the reserved computers… tried our luck back in library 2, and fortunately, there were quite a number of places by then…

Su ping and lai fai joined us there… then elaine dropped by a while to pass things to me… haha, and I did a stupid thing to go back to my hall, to take my phone charger cause my phone batt was almost dead… well, glad I did though… haha… cause after that, siah called, did a lot of msging… yeah… about that… Had dinner at can A, and returned to the library after tht which closes at 930pm…

Went jogging at ten… may yann and I left hall 13, picked up kahweng at hall 8 and yingsin from hall 4… then, went to src for the ‘real’ jog but yingsin ko-ed on the way to src… hahaha… so, instead of jog, we walked round the track, chit chatting and learning how to sing songs… haha… then they kinda like dilly dallied around, dunno what go find eng sue in her hall, then she not there, then go to my hall eat things my mum brought to sg for me when we were supposed to go for supper…

Life as a 2nd year student…
September 08th, 2006 | Author: admin

Hmm, 2nd year somehow is still as busy as before… Well, I actually cut down alot on activities. The only commitment I had this year was only the Rotaract Main Comm and of course, MSA… Even for hall activities, guess i’ll only still be a member for choir and maybe? dance group… Oh, Hall’s Choir has been converted into an A Capella group… hahaha… Yesterday night, went to my sister’s bday party in her place at Farrer Park. Guess that was my first time that I actually did hang out with her JC friends. They were indeed fun… lol… But i think what they didn’t know was that my sister put alot of importance in them than they think she did… Generally, it was fun… There were lots of food, lots of liquor, lots of people. There were lots of Germans around there as well… We had the party at the gazebo underneath her apartment.
Back to reality… friends, studies, ccas, family, love… Guess that’s my priority in singapore. Friends and studies are almost on par… But somehow, I feel like there’s something missing in the friends department. Studies wise, it’s kinda sucky… Quite laggy behind and everyone’s really studying hard now… They study like there’s a big exam every other week.. Family? The closest I have here is only my sis.. And she stays relatively far away, and will be going off to Jakarta to work soon… One thing bad bout me though, is that I don’t really seek my family to confide in whenever I have problems, not like my sis… So, I hardly call back home if there’s nothing important… But I know family is the most important ingredient in life… Oh well, maybe I know they are important and not wanting to feel depressed that they’re actually not around, I hardly put them in my life in SG. Otherwise, it’ll be disastrous for me… And for love… hahaha… There’s really nothing much to say here… Probably things are already so busy now, I didn’t plunge into the valley of love… But I think, love is one thing that I would really need in my life now… Just that, maybe it isn’t the right time? I don’t know….
Well, guess have live life on and trust everything in His hands. For now, suppose I just have to be contented with what I have now and be thankful for it…

Family Trip~!
August 19th, 2006 | Author: admin

School semester has just started and studies, activities and commitments are all rushing back into my life… Things has been getting pretty busy lately, although it has just only been 2 weeks of school. However, nothing is more important than one thing ; – “Family”.. This is one of the weekends that everyone in the family (well, almost) can make it for the trip, including Annie and Ashley. The last time we had a trip something like this, it was the Sabah Trip, but koko wasn’t there at that time.

Anyway, back to the genting trip. I flew back to kl on friday. Had to skip 3/4 of my lessons on tht day.. The flight lasted for 45min. Only about 1/5 of my entire travelling time. Friday was more of a shop n rest day. Grace was supposed to follow me back via plane, but she last minute had to go for an interview, and can only come back via bus at night.

We left for Genting at about 9 something in the morning after they had to wait for me to get up. haha.. We went in 2 cars; Christie’s car and Papa’s X-trail.

I followed Christie’s car and we arrived there first cause James had to pick Jessie up. Anyway, we waited at the Awana Lobby for around 1 hour and yet, they still haven’t arrived. Apparently, the X-trail over-heated.. LoL.. But anyway, after all of us had finally arrived, we checked into the room, and the room was….. Well, how to put it into words… “superb”.. We booked 3 rooms, 2 attached rooms and one more ’specially’ for koko and jessie. But because the x-trail broke down, koko and jessie had to take the car back to KL and come back up with the Kembara. Kind of pity them though, supposedly to come for holidays, but ended up baby sitting the car. Plus, they missed all the fun that we had in the room.. We cooked lunch together; we took turns to be the ‘bartender’, preparing food and drinks. Grace was good with her “milo”… Haha.. There were so much food… My mum prepared like food for the entire month… haha… there was ham yuk chung, muffins, cheese cake, putu mayam, rojak, etc. etc. Then the 2 kids were happily playing with themselves, even marielle was sleeping soundly… It was a perfect weekend.

Later in the evening, we went to the theme park… Only sat a few rides though, and yi che sponsored me to ride the ’superman ride’… haha… it wasn’t as scary as it looks… But it sure is fun~! Then my sisters were all so afraid to sit on the rides… Rosemary almost chickened out sitting the rolling thunder mine thingy… hahaha… and grace screamed so much in the ‘cyclone’ ride… so farnee… But what’s worse, yi che was even afraid riding the dragon ride, that just oversees the entire Genting… hahaha…

We went back for dinner and tried to finish up all the food. Koko and jessie were already back by then… And this time, the entire family were together; cooking and eating happily together. There were more food this time, I’ve no idea where it came from. Then koko showed his expertise in cooking (he’s always good at cooking, creative so I would say) when he prepared delicious sandwiches out of plain ingredients. He even had garnishing from seaweeds that we were feeding off for fun… haha… At night, we went to the casino… Unfortunately for me, I’m still underaged… lol… Luckily koko had to go online to do his work, so I joined him with my lappie at starbucks where they had free wireless… At a cost of a starbucks coffee… =/ By the end of the night, came out that my sisters won money from the casino… And grace was like a noob in gambling… lol…

The next morning was just alright though… Went for the complimentary breakfast together with a variety of western, Chinese and Muslim food. We went back to sleep after breakfast and checked out in the afternoon… lol… It’s always like that isn’t it? Sleeping till late in the afternoon when there’s holidays… hahaha… but all in all, it was fun… Too bad I had to return to Singapore on that night. Otherwise, could join them longer. Spending time with the entire family is always fun… =)
