Singapore trips day 2, 22nd Dec 2009

"Wake up lo!" shouted my sister inside my room to my brother & me. How could you come inside our room without permission! People still wanted to sleep you know!


It was about 8am. My brother-in-law went to work at nearby office already & my sister holiday started today. This morning she brought my brother & I to a nearby supermarket-Sheng Siong to buy some groceries & for our breakfast too…


After having our breakfast at home, I tried to connect the computer to the internet but still failed. Before 11am, the 3 of us went out to the music library to search for the music books we wanted. We took bus there because our car can only be drove after 7pm plus my sister phobia of driving!


The MRT station is just downstairs of our house, so it is very convenient to the people around here to travel around & to work. I noticed the people here many of them love to listen to the headphone while walking to their destination. The people here were all about speed & efficient. We passed through the MRT station, which is underground & walked to the bus stop. The escalator moved very fast too!


Boon Keng MRT station was the station we passed. It was huge inside although not many people will use it because according to my sis, it was built as a bunker in case any terrorist attack Singapore.


We wanted to take a double decker bus but we don’t have much time to wait for it so just took a single decker bus to Esplanade, where the music library lies at.



This was the ezlink card we used to board buses & MRT.



Rooftop of Esplanade.



Library@esplanade.

Although this library full of books but we can’t find what we wanted. I was looking for a piece to perform in next month pesta angpau organized by UKM.


After spending for about an hour searching in the library, we went to Marina Square to have our lunch.



OMG, Mega Mac at Macdonald’s.


We went to The Café’ Cartel to eat. I ordered St. Louis Pork Ribs.



Yummy!


After that we went to Suntec City Mall just to look around.


Then we went to City Link. We bought a special ice-cream & shared among the 3 of us because very expensive!



Then we went to Raffles City.


It was late afternoon & we decided to go back home. We took MRT back because as I mentioned before, there’s a MRT station just downstairs of our house.


To go back from Raffles City, we need to take 2 trains. After taking the first train, which is all underground train, suddenly my elder brother decided to go to Plaza Singapura Yamaha to search for his exam piece. Too bad they don’t have it. The Yamaha here got many drums, I’m sure Chun Yan will be crazy if he was here with me…


On the way back to the MRT station, we saw many people gathering below. It was then I knew that Jay Chou & Ling Zhi Ling were coming to meet their fans here at 7pm. It was about 5pm something & people started to gather. Wow…



My brother-in-law came back from work & made dinner for us. Although my sister was in holiday, but she still needed to teach her private student. After having our dinner, he drove her to her private student’s house & brought us to Orchard Road for my brother to snap photos. Em, I was so careless & forgot to bring another jeans so I had to borrow from my brother-in-law. Luckily it fits! Maybe I’m getting fatter already…


About 9.30pm, after fetching my sister, we went to Brewerkz to taste their beer. We ordered the beer taster set only so just drank a little beer only. This was our supper.



After walking around at Clarke Quay, we went straight back home & sleep…

Singapore trips day 1, 21st Dec 2009.

This morning after having my breakfast I played Left 4 Dead before heading to KTM Kajang. I didn’t realise I forgot to bring an extra jeans there. Hehe…


I arrived at KTM Kajang with my elder brother at about 2pm. The train expected to arrive at 2.40pm but it delayed to 3pm. I tried to play video call with my friend for the last time in year 2009 but he doesn’t want to accept my call. Suan liao lo, I SMS chat with another friend.



This is my train ticket to Singapore.


In the train we urine through the toilet bowl to the railway while the train was moving.


Our train expected to arrive at Singapore station at 9.30pm but it arrives at 11pm instead. We met out sister & our brother-in-law there & they brought us to a mamak store near their house for supper because we missed our dinner. These are the foods we ordered.


 


 


When we reached back to my sister’s house… wow… so messy…. So many music instruments here… including a drum set which was not set up yet… I’m sure Chun Yan will be crazy if he was here…lol… It was almost 1am when we reached home. I tried to use internet that night but their internet connection bad that night maybe because it was raining….. So I slept….

朋友

身在海外,时常想念国内的朋友。朋友像酒,越陈越好,硬是要靠时间来增值;又像一棵树,总要历尽寒暑,几经风雨,才能成才。

一个人的一生中,称得上好朋友的不过就一、二、三个,一般在中年之前就交好了。所以中年出过人,日子注定孤单,凄清,因为他把人生不可或缺的朋友丢在国内了。没有朋友在人生,是渺小、贫乏、凄惨的,是非人的生活。

美国人认识三天,便可以互称朋友,朋友差不多是熟人的代名词。朋友总是外人,谈不上华人所谓“通家之好、通财之义”。在传统中国化中,如果没有经过“路遥知马力、日久见人心”的考验,等闲是论不得朋友的,充其量只能说是“点头之交”、“泛泛之交”。随便说某人是自己的朋友被称做谬托知己。

朋友意味着一种联盟,共同遵守一种信条,祸福与共。朋友之间可以保守秘密。甚至以生死相托。朋友和亲人不同。亲人的基础在一个“亲”字,所谓血浓与水。亲人的关爱、爱护,是每日每时的。朋友的基础在一个“义”字。

朋友是救急的,在亲人束手的时候,朋友来扶你一把。俗语说:“在家靠亲戚,出外靠朋友。”大体上说出了其间的差别。

亲人之间争吵得再厉害,互相之间做错了事,因为有“亲”的基础在,比如夫妻吵架,吵过了还是夫妻;又如兽迅先生诗所咏:“度尽劫波兄弟在,相逢一笑泯恩仇。”朋友以义为结盟,日子各人过自己。在别的地方,对别人可能狼心狗肺,就是对你忠心无双。这就是朋友。

朋友是人生路上最坚强的支柱,朋友关系的建立则最难,真的是“十年磨一剑”,而且稍有欺骗、不义的行为,友谊便付诸东流。朋友离开你,不需要像离婚那样办理任何法律手续。朋友走了,再也不会回来

Goodbye to 2009 & welcome 2010.

Today is 17th December 2009. Two more weeks we’re going to say goodbye to 2009 & welcome 2010.

This morning when I woke up, I still felt very tired & sleepy because I played too much these few days. I don’t felt like coming down from my bed but i had to because later noon I’ll be going to MusicBox to sing k. Wa, SPM just finished on this Monday & my following days are full with activities. I didn’t even had time to clean up my table. All the chinese books were still scattered around my table.

Tomorrow I should be going to KLCC with my brother & a girl. Am I a light bulb to them? Not sure whether I should go or not, because I still need to plan for this Saturday plan-to Mid Valley with Teow Pak Kee. And next Monday afternoon I’ll be off to Singapore & will be back on New Year. Hope still in time to wish you all Happy New Year!

2009 is the second year I studied in SMJK Yu Hua. In this year, I made many new friends from the neighbor class. Frankly, they are more active in socializing than my class. That’s why I’m not surprise to see Chun Yan sticks more to them than me.

There were many first-time-happen things happened to me this year. Example, first time had dengue fever, first time sing k, fist time drive a car, & the most recently, first time went to Sunway Lagoon. There were many more first-time-happen things but I can’t name all.

2009 is really a great year to me. I had plenty of funs in this year especially after SPM. This is all because I’m studying In SMJK Yu Hua, I don’t think I’ll have such fun if I am still studying in SMK Taman Jasmin 2. But in life, there will always be happy moments & sad moments. I had fun with friends & I enjoyed be with them. But now, we have our own dreams to work for it. We have to separate & walk in different roads. This is the sad moments we all have to face it. But the good memories will always be in my mind, forever and ever…………..

If you had read my older blog- My life, My story, My blog, i had always make new friends & sadly I forgot the old ones. There is a Chinese article i would like to share with you all. I read it when I was preparing for my Chinese exam. Hope to publish it in the next blog. It’s about friends….

So next year 2010, I’m going to study in form 6. I hope I can make some better friends there, some true friends that would appreciate me better. And I hope i won’t lost contact with my old friends. People say life in form 6 is much more fun than form 5. I hope this is true. I hope after my STPM there will be more exciting activities than now.

Lastly, I would like to thank all 5E class students. It’s the best class I’ve ever been to in all these years. I’m going to miss you all guys! Hope to hang out some days… And of course I wouldn’t forget my friends from 5F who never discriminate me from joining their activities although I’m not from 5F. At first I thought I had been discriminated for not inviting me to Kok Chuan’s BBQ party. Thanks guys! Christmas I’ll not be around in Malaysia so I would like to wish you all Merry Christmas & have a great time ahead! Goodbye friends. Hope our friendship would last forever!

3 days of fun just after SPM.

The last 5 minutes before the end of SPM was so hard to past…. At first i though I’ll just go back home & have a nice sleep after SPM because my friend, Kok Chuan who had organize a BBQ party at his house that day didn’t invite me over there. I thought he never treated me as his friend. But on the last day of SPM he wanted me to go to his house. Luckily he still remembered me.

After having a long nap, my dad drove me to Kok Chuan’s house. At late noon, we started to prepare the BBQ.

IMG_3889IMG_3891

At night we started our BBQ.

IMG_3916

Most of the foods were wasted… :(

IMG_3923

After eating, we chatted with friends. There was an aunty talked to me about God, so annoying.

 IMG_3937

At almost 11pm, I went back home…. This BBQ was great but I was a stranger to many of them. So i didn’t talked much that day… thanks ya Kok Chuan!

On the second day, early morning about 7 we all were to be gathered at KFC Kajang for the trip to Sunway Lagoon. When i arrived, there were 3 of them already. I thought i’m going to be the first… Because we were too early, we had some breakfast.

The van we rented should be arrive at 8am but it came at 8.30. What to do, this is Malaysia time…  In the bus………..

IMG_3956 

IMG_3958

At 9.43am, we arrived at Sunway Pyramid because it was raining… The theme park not open yet.

IMG_3964

IMG_3969

I wish can play ice skating next time….

IMG_3975 IMG_3977 So tired la this Tan Qiyuan…

Later when the rain stopped, we went to Sunway Lagoon. There were many of us Yu Hua students there. Although we all knew each other but we separated into many groups. Our group all of us bought 5 parks. What waste actually. I told them we couldn’t play all parks in one day but they don listen. So i had to buy all 5 parks so that I won’t be separated with them. Quite lonely be with them because again I’m quite a stranger to them. I’m the only E class student. haiz… What ask me chose my best friend from F class… But nevertheless, I got fun there. The rides there some were better than Genting, more exciting. I actually don’t know the names of the rides because I just follow them. All i knew was a ride name Tomahawk made me feel drowsy. That was the best ride! Too bad my camera were inside the locker. I can’t take photos! The foods there were like gold so expensive so we skipped our lunch. During afternoon, we went to swim at the ‘beach’. There I lost my RM8 because I didn’t realise the money will ‘float’ out of my pocket. But at least I found back RM2. haha….. We were so crazy playing water… that’s why i didn’t realist my money ‘swam’ away too… After swimming I had slight headache. My face were red already. I played flying fox too! Before I ‘flew’ down, the man pulled me down. I haven’t ready yet actually, so scary…

At about 5pm, it started to rain. The parks were closed but the wild life still open. We went back to the locker to get our clothes & bath. Finally I got back my camera. You know, my life without camera will not be interesting! There’s one more thing I regret for not asking my brother. We shouldn’t had rent that locker because it can be open once. Every token will be charged RM5 for one time lock. But for my brother, they rented at the beach there. There the lockers were charged Rm10 but they can open as many time as they wanted. & they used password instead of us using key.

After bathing, I went out the toilet while waiting the others. Meanwhile I took photos.

IMG_4005

IMG_4006

What a tired day…….. Our van should be arrived at 8pm. so we still had time before the park close. We were separated again. Some of us went to the wild life there to see wild animals. Too bad we had an umbrella but there were 4 of us. How to share?

IMG_4015

IMG_4029

Everyone was so tired………….

IMG_4037 Chun Yan was ‘talking’ to his brother. haha…. kidding only, i know you’re a sheep.

IMG_4048 Took photo with my best friend before leaving this park. It will the last photo we took together in year 2009. I started to miss you Chun Yan… So sad to leave you~

IMG_4059 See what did I said? I sacrifice myself by getting wet instead of sharing an umbrella with 4 guys.

IMG_4060 At the exit of Sunway Lagoon. Goodbye Sunway Lagoon!

Inside Sunway Pyramid:

I was so hungry. Not just me but all of us! But I still busy taking photos instead of looking for food to eat.

IMG_4062                                                                                IMG_4065IMG_4064

After that, we went to meet our gang. They were eating in…. forgot what burger restaurant it was. So expensive! So Chun Yan & I went to KFC. So particular that Chun Yan. Meat also need to choose the best. haiz…. Funny, later Ling Han brought in A&W hotdog into KFC.

After eating, we went over to McDonald (which was just beside KFC) to meet the others.

IMG_4071

After we had our dinner, some of us went to play ice skating. I hope I can play but I was tired & I felt guilty of losing my money :( haiz… just assume I donated my money la. haha… or assume I paid for the locker money.

While they were Ice skating, somebody asked me to take some couple photos.

IMG_4073

I didn’t mean the blue shirt guy with the yellow shit girl. I meant the black shirt guy & the girl behind. haha….

IMG_4079

There is a photo I shouldn’t upload. It’s actually a photo of the girl fall down. haha & her trousers…. ahem……sorry ya Swee Mei……….XD

Finally it was almost 8pm & we should be at the exit of Sunway Pyramid but we don’t know where should we go so we went back to the entrance of Sunway Lagoon.

IMG_4083

I was so crazy to take photos. It was raining but I still went out to take this shot. What will people think of me?

Finally we knew where was the main entrance of Sunway Pyramid.

IMG_4089

Again the van late 30 minutes. haiz…. The Indian man drove 130km/h you know? inside the van:

IMG_4100

Impressive with the ISO 3200 technology. Even brighter than what my eye can see without using flash! Sorry Chun Yan if I hurt your knee… & thanks for the locker fee… :D

That’s the end of Sunway Lagoon trip…………………..!

On the third day (today), we planned to play paintball today. This was the second time I played paintball in this year.

Our bus should arrived at 7.30am it was late. It wasn’t an air-cond bus but later we changed bus. This was because the road in front of Yu Hua was under construction, they don’t want to damage their bus.

Inside the bus, i sat with De Yun. Erh! again talked about God….. why you people keep talking about God in front of me? Is God trying to tell me something?

Nothing much to take photos today, cause I had been there before.

IMG_4113 This is Ng Chun Yan. Funny guy. He thought he had to wear his bag while playing paintball for chest protection.

IMG_4119 This is me. I was not surrendering, but adjusting my face mask but this guy took this shot too early. But, nice one! Good job. haha……

This time paintball game wasn’t as fun as the 1st time i came. Firstly the guys were not supplied with vest. But when the paintball hit my chest it won’t be very pain. The way of playing paintball at the lake there should be very nice because there were many hidings. But today, we just played at one road. So not shoot over the lake. Not fun~~ But the fun began at second play. We were allowed to use all our paintballs before surrender. That means, even you were shot, got you can still continue. Syok ar!

 IMG_4130 Our lunch at Tanamera.

After the second match, some of us wanted to play for the third match. But they had to pay for it. I didn’t feel like playing so I don’t want to play. So I walked around Tanamera & took some shots.

IMG_4149 

They were going to the third match.

IMG_4178 After taking some shots, I went to race with Chun Yan. haha… I already knew I’m gonna win. haha… Why? Look at Chun Yan, so fat. haha… After the race, I began to feel tired. That was when they came back to the headquarter.

IMG_4189 The ‘counter-strike’ guy was Chu Joon Sin. It was his birthday today. Happy birthday. Remember 5F class tradition? the birthday boy were to be raped. So this guy were raped on the truck. Lol…. By the way, thanks to Canon Digic 4 processor so that I can take shots against bright light. The other camera can’t take this shot. haha… That’s why I said, buy camera, choose Canon.

IMG_4194 Stupid ham sap Kee Onn & De Yun.

That’s the end of our paintball trip. We were back at our beloved school at about 4.30pm. When we got down from the bus, it was the last time I saw my friends. I watched Chun Yan walked away with his friends behind me. He didn’t even turned his head to say goodbye to me… :( haiz… what kind of friend is this?

Although this is the last day we hanged out together, I hope next year we still can hang out some time… Or maybe visit their house during chinese new year….. Starting to miss all my friends~ Take care & goodbye. Hope to see you guys in 2010. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
