enjoying every single moment of life!

finally, 1 wk plus of heavily packed schedule has come to an end, and im back at home, back to my familiar bed. most of the activities are randomness, but they coincidentally fit nicely in my packed schedule. though i missed home, and my With You episodes, i had enjoyed the adventure - starting from the first night out.

27 May 10, Thur - first night at city square mall.
Pumpfest'10 manpower brief. Pumpfest sub comm, that's us, the I.Cs. im the I.C for photo booth... taught the helpers how to use mac, put pics into template and print them out. afraid im not able to wake up for the event tmr, i decided to sleep over.

29 May 10, Sat - second night at airport.
we welcome our max back~~~ all of us stayed over, together with zhuang~ it was definitely lovely night out with ohanies! angie and i conveniently headed to Pumpfest event next sunday morning~
zai bo?! these climbers are really awesome! climb with poise and grace~
Pumpfest'10 a success! hooray! thanks to all odac helpers!!!

30 May 10, Sun - third night in school.
logistic stuff to settle. mattresses, tiles etc etc... so many stuff!
this mattress is damn damn heavy! i tried carrying it with like 7 other guys! imagine how heavy!
the place where im sitting is the place where i slept for the night. how narrow!

31 May 10, Mon - fourth night at max's house.
Pumpfest'10 3 day event is finally over! back home from school, took a nap and headed to max's house for steamboat! it's like a taste of sweetness after so much hard work!

this trip is very last min, confirmed it during the last day of Pumpfest which was on Sunday. was already interested in this trip but missed the registration day. coincidentally, my friend sprained her ankle and wanted me to replace her~ viola! the sleep in the train is shiokness! air conditioned, beds, accompany, what more can u ask?!
first time rafting. it's really cool, but yeah, not as thrilling as i thought it would be.
after our outdoor dinner, it's definitely a pleasure looking at this starry starry night and having random chats with friends.

2 June 10, Wed - sixth night in tent, kkb.
rise and shine! angie's and my friend said the first thing in the morning when he saw our tent, he broke into laughter... it's really amusing how our clothes (not us!) had done to our tent... heh...
our wonderful tent! woots! ha... out clothes soaked with rain water of previous night which resulted in the distorted tent. lucky the water didnt reach us, another guy in the tent kena instead.. ha
what a nice morning for a hike!
let's jump! little things that caught my attention. don't underestimate the beauty of nature~~~

3 June 10, Thur - seventh night at angie's house.
we cabbed down from kranji station to angie's house. next morning had to head back school for store washing, so angie suggested i go her house stayover. this was the first time angie entertained me with weird stories of her family members like her dad sleeps with his rod and aunt bites people and i have to be quiet if not her dad will come out with his rod hitting and aunt biting me (still laughing!). and how she torture her little animals, making pi chiu do hand stand and resting her own legs on mushroom! haaa!
angie's neighbourhood. she noticed that the moon is hanging so low, a really strange phenomenon. to prove that we are not seeing things due to fatigue, i took a pic~

4 June 10, Fri - eighth night at jason's house.
sent our dear fel fel and tsu hui off to UK! happy holidays for them! stayed over coz i have to see my family friend off the next morning (i didnt manage to wake up anyway). was thinking of staying over at the airport again but this time no one wants to. jason suggested we go his house, so near airport, so why not. this paranoid angie of coz had to come along... ha
we totally lost it! haaa!
our official bf shirt! oops...
randomness is fun!!! credits to mac photo booth! ;)

5 June 10, Sat - ninth night in the east, cycling.
another random activity which angie invited me the previous day, together with trek comm. and i suggested to her to ask jason along too so that i wont be the only one that seemed extra... ha... but anyway, having known almost all the trek comm ppl, and there're ppl like peak sia, definitely can click! angie persuaded me to go, tempting me with food stations that we would be passing by. and ive always like night cycling since the first one with sec scool frenz!
wow, now then i realise the harmonious colour! national day!

what an adventure! after Sat night, finally, home sweet home!!!

Hollywood Awards!

i heard from the news saying that Universal Studios will be selling Director's Cut. that black and white thing which directors use to say 'action' & 'cut'. i really like it coz it looks professional. so when fel told me she's there, i requested her to help me find, but she told me there are only printed ones, as in, the Director's Cut is printed on like files, laptop cover etc.

i bu gan xin, so searched high and low for it at the retail shop but really couldn't find. so i bought something else instead.


able to guess who am i giving them to? 2 options... hee.. why 'best director'? coz someone is aspiring to be a future director...

Love without borders.

29 May 10, Thur - 30 May 10, Fri
my relatives arrived at our house on thur afternoon. they are my ah ma's elder brother and his daughter, son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren. hmm, my ah ma's brother should be called 舅公?the others i duno liao, so complicated, just called them uncle, aunties and cousins. ha

we interacted a bit, and i thought they could speak Chinese, but i was wrong, they can only speak Thai and my 舅公's daughter-in-law who can speak English very well as she's a Uni teacher who teaches Eng. then, we brought them to Old Market for dinner.

DAY 1:
Dinner at Old Market, Stroll along Raffles Quay


my thai aunty (the one who's a Eng teacher) interacting with my sg 4th aunty.

what a feast! my dad treated the dinner which cost near $200.


my 4th uncle suggested this seafood stall... the food here is really awesome! and i ate loads of sotong...

my pretty cousin with her mum.

aww... havent met for years, yet still so endearing... my heart melted...

was complaining to my dad for being so lack of 情趣. dont think he ever brought us for a stroll along anywhere. strolling along the riverside is so lovely.

the thai family. my cousins are called prem and plume. how cute are their names! though they reminded me of pim and ploy... hee...

dad and 4th uncle with 舅公

aint the Merlion feeling lonely?

DAY 2:
Sentosa (Universal Studios, Songs of the Sea)

the lady in the middle, is 舅公's daughter. the other guy is his son.

kudos to my fourth uncle, he is the best host among my uncles. he fetched them to and fro the airport and their hotel, took off to bring them around, just to assure our distant relatives doesn't feel distant. of course, he spent generously on them, the Universal Studios tickets alone cost him around $400...

this is really interesting, the set up is inspired from Jurassic Park. the boat ride is really fun though i got myself all soaked while the others escaped with little moist. suay!
the mummy ride best liao... inside, u need to walk through a very long 'maze' before u get to ride. very eerie, very fear-inducing atmosphere where there is a video shown ppl on the ride and sign boards of 'warnings' - high acceleration, sudden and strong twisting, backwards motion etc...' my 2 aunties after walking through the ard 4mins maze, decided to escape from the exit doors. ha.. and i realised a few concepts of Universal Studios very similar to the Australia theme park. this mummy ride is very similar to the scooby-doo ride in Movie World, Australia.
this is so cool! they caught my attention immediately.

the best ride closed for maintainence. i will be waiting...

is this sg?? so ang moh...

this too.
cool antique police car! love it.


Songs of the Sea is a visual feast. watched this before in China. with the use of projecting images and fire works, awesome!

the next day, my thai relatives, after shopping in town, left for thailand. this is definitely a very meaningful gathering for me. but it's quite sad that not all of my sg relatives were involved, let alone knowing the existence of their relatives... well, at least i witnessed a strong affection of a brother to her sister, and vice versa. and this is what i call love without borders.
