It is decided tat we're to go ROME!!!! YIPEEE!!!! I always wanted to go rome!! finally! but our flight's @ 10pm thou.

21/7

No need go to office today as i only work mon-thurs. sleep in late today. @ arnd 5pm, sis wanted to go do some grocery shopping. I'm gng wif her. juz as we were gng out, brother called tat he coming back. sis waited 4 him to come back cuz she tot maybe brother might like to go wif us. when he come back, he nt gng as he'd want to go running. so sis n i go.

we said to split up as i like to see some stuffs, n sis oso wan to see her stuffs. met 1 hr later. went into a shoe shop, n saw the boots tat i like. tried on it, n bought it. along wif a pair of court shoes. met sis n we go back. i bought a cake, or rather more like a pastry, to eat b4 the flight.

we said to leave @ 8, but @ 7:30pm, the both of 'em still have not pack their luggage yet! gasp! it's soooo funny seeing n hearing 'em pack. hahaha.... in the end, guess wat, brother had more stuffs than sis in the luggage!

when we finally leave it's arnd 8:45pm. reached airport after checking in, it's arnd 9:45pm. Gate open 10 mins later, bro n sis wanted to go to the lounge to drink sth, while i opt to go walk arnd. met @ gate to board the plane.

u noe sth, u dun need to stamp yer passport if leaving frm 1 european country to another. the flight is quite empty n dunno y, the staff put us all in diff seatings. in the end, sis's row, or rather my row (i change wif sis), is empty, so i go join em.

sis asked me to try sparkling wine, she said to try it as it's really good. tried it, it's nt bad, but dun really like the taste. it's a 2 hr flight to Rome. so when we reached it's like midnight. sis had hired a car to pick us up @ the airport. It's quite a long ride frm airport to hotel.

OH!! almost forgot! on the flight, sth happened. the row beside our row gt 1 "act" rocker. he dressed like a rocker, but frm the way he walks, body language, he's a bit sissy, i'd say. frm his accent, he's frm london. the seats in front of him is a couple, i guess is either frm the States or England. the guy were listening to his mp3 walkman PHONE when the plane took off n during the flight.

B4 the plane took off, the "rocker" guy already told the guy to shut off his phone. But he didn't heard it as his earphones were in his ears. then, a guy in front of me, told the person with mp3 off. the guy doesn't listen, n the one in front of me complained to the air stewardess.

when the plane is reaching, dey'd make an announcement to switch off all electronic devices, the guy beside me, the "rocker", told the guy off again. the guy wif mp3, turned arnd n told the "rocker" to shut up. haha, den dey began to argue. then, the "rocker" called the air stewardess.

air stewardess asked to guy to switch off n he did, but the "rocker" still nt satisfied n keep talking n talking n talking...... the guy in front can't take it n talk back n dey argue. even the air stewardess can't stop em.

Den the "rocker" noe he can't win the arguing, so he stopped talking. the guy in front threatened to beat him up after the plane landed.

i overheard the "rocker" told the airstewardess tat the guys "invited" him to a fight outside the airport. as soon as the plane landed, he got off his seat, took his luggage n rush to be the 1st one out. hahaha.... luckily he dun have any luggage checked in.... hahaha

well, when we're reaching, i saw the land n the 1st thing i noticed was tat dere's A LOT of stadiums! i tried to match the stadiums to their various clubs n i TINK i saw Old Trafford! Haha.. anyway when we past the custom n need to go collect lugguage. dere's a golden retriever wif a guard standing by the exit n the guard took the dog around to sniff all the ppl. u noe how much i "scared" of real dogs, i didn't realise the dog was actually sniffing my bag n when i turned around, dey're juz walking off n i got a fright. HaHa.

After tat we went to get an oyster card. oh yes, an oyster card. HaHa. It works exactly like a ezlink card. the british called it an oyster card. HaHa. anyway, we took the underground to Green Park where the hotel is located. during the trip, the train broke down a lot of times n we're stucked in the train 4 like an hr. initially we need only 45mins to reach the destinated station, but it took us almost 2 hrs to get dere.

after we checked into the hotel, we walked down to Piccadilly circus. our hotel is on piccadilly road, so it's quite a short dist walk. we den decided to get noodles 4 dinner n we went to the chinatown. had a roast duck n pork hor fun n a wonton soup share wif sis. the portion is so huge tat i can't finish it. but it's really delicious. after that, we walked to leicester sq. it was arnd 10pm at nite, n as sis gotta wake up early tml, we walked back to the hotel. walked past marks and spencer food store n went in to get some water.

HaHa.

anyway, aft tat, i crossed the bridge n walk over to the ferris wheel. i wanted to go into the london aquarium, but as i walked in, a bunch of children walked in as well, i reckon it'll be rather noisy, so i passed tat. i finally reached london eye, but the queue was juz toooooo long! i dunna wait so i turned back.

btw, i missed breakfast n lunch. it was already 2pm when i reach london eye. when i turned back, i went into the souvenir shop to get some souvenirs. bought a shirt dere. walk further up dere's a cart selling shirts, so i bought another 2 shirts. HaHa. bought a racerback, L size. the gal said i wear M wil do, but i insisted on L. went back to hotel n try, L is juz nice. HaHa. tink the gal tai kan de qi wo le. :P

HaHa. intially went to rite way de, but did see the custom sign, so tot went wrong way, go back down again n come up the nxt way only to find i was rite earlier on. u might ask y i didn't follow the rest of the corwd. well, almost 95% of the passengers were transfering flights to other places, n the rest i guess were behind me ba, so i didn't follow the right group of ppl. HaHa.

Anyway, after my passport gt stamped, there's 2 exits. 1 is for those w/o lugguage to collect, n 2 is 4 those w lugguage to collect. i have, so i took exit 2. it's funny thou. cuz to collect lugguage, u have to go down 1 level to collect. it's like an basement. after i collected my lugguage, sis haven't reached yet, so i waited 4 her. when she reached, we went back to her apartment. when we reached, i'm too sleepy so i slept, the whole morn actually. cuz on the plane, i didn't get to sleep as the person nxt to me is too big size n kept occupying my space. so i'm basically left with little space.

when i woke up, it's like late afternoon. sis den took me to the center of the town n walk arnd. had an ice-cream. dere's A LOT of ice-cream stalls here! it's like 1 every 4 shops down the road. after tat, brother came fetch us up. we didn't drive to the center cuz it's only 15 or 20 mins walk away. when we gt home, sis went to cook.

when we check in, the plane's almost full and we had to sit separately. had a window seat n had a good view of London. the flight was 1 hr.the 1st thing i noticed is tat there's a lot of football fields! n frm the top view, dey seem very close together.

17/7

3rd day @ work. i'm dreading to go to work. n i'm dreading to stay any longer. i cried silently when i called my mom n sis. i miss em, i wanna go home!

the ppl here r very weird. went out to lunch wif bro n his collegues. 4 of us went out n had pasta. when footing bill, the waitress had to count each separately. everyone pay on their own. bro drove us dere n when comes to paying the car park fee, it had to be shared among those who sat in tat car! it's like EUR2.00 n it had to be shared.

this is the first time i encounter dis kinda thing. it's so ridiculous! oh well, different countries have different cultures. i'm trying my best to bare wif the stay, but i tink i'm on the verge le. i wanna go home!!

oh god, y did i wanna come here 4 so long? i totally regret it! i shld have stayed shorter.

18/7

had a tiring day today. 4 lunch, sis took me out to eat. had fish. cuz bro isn't free had to go 4 a meeting n won't be back. had fried fish n potato salad. a typical german potato salad. it was nice n it gave me an idea of opening 1 in SG. HaHa.

In office, tat Greg (he's frm US) kept making fun of me. he's a typical joker. when we went out to lunch yesterday, he kept saying SG is the largest semi-conductor in the world n half of the games in US comes frm SG n how it's destroying the families. n today he kept making fun of my newbie t-shirt. he kept saying tat i like dis kinda things, like pokemon. n he kept saying tat i like pokemon all day long! oh well, his words can't be taken seriously.

he asked me wat kinda watch i'm wearing, n when i told him is a pooh watch, he said that it's so childish. after he saw tat it's a leather strap n nt so childish, he said it's kinda cool. n even said tat if i wear my newbie shirt to big city like frankfurt, it'll be cool.

19/7

recently i had a very nice dream. sweet indeed. ha ha, Y? u may ask. cuz i dreamt tat i won 4D ha ha ha ha ha.

i dreamt tat i bought 4 numbers and it open 1st prize. ha ha ha ha! n i won few tens thousands. 0.0!! when i woke up, i ask tell my mom, n asked her go buy. he he he he. but, haiz... num didn't open.... haiz... sad...

###########

anyway, i had another dream nt so long ago too. another sweet one. super super sweet. i dreamt of AJ of BSB. ha ha ha.

i was on a bus wif my frenz, when 1 of em said she hungry n wanted to eat. so we alight @ 1 kfc n went in to eat. we sat down at a table n jo n i were talking excitedly abt BSB. dey were having a concert a couple of days later n r currently in town. suddenly, i dreamt tat it was like harry potter like tat, an owl sent a parcel to me. i opened up n saw a BSB jigsaw puzzle. i read the card n it was signed off by none other than..... JO!! he he

then as we were talking abt BSB, a black old man, i mean black as in african american black. with huge curls sat down beside me on the nxt table. he bought a lot of bags of kfc n was sitting down wating 4 his orders. he heard us talking abt BSB n he joined in. we were chatting very happily when his food came. den he said tat he need to take the food to the boys n asked me 4 directions to the place where BSB's concert was held. i was shocked when i heard he's working at the concert. then i pointed him to the right direction n he left after he thanked me.

den, the scene den flashed into another. i was holding a box file in my hand n a mineral water bottle in another. i was walking down the back stage where BSB were holding their concert. then i noticed 1 of the doors were slightly ajar, i open it wider n popped my head in.

i saw a few rows of seats going upwards opposite me n the fans were sitting down dere screaming, while the boys were at the bottom floor performing. i noticed tat there's only Nick, Kevin n Howie. Brian n AJ were missing. then juz as they finished singing, the large screen on top of the fans flashed. to my amazement, i saw the black old man i was talking to on tat screen. the it's like an advertisement like tat, the screen showed his face n his hand was holding a bar of soap beside his face. then his hand moved in a circular motion n bubbles began to appear. after the bubbles disappeared, instead of the black old man, AJ's face appeared. AHHHHH!!! i'm stunned!

then, the image began to go down, as in the person is decending frm the screen. then in the middle of the stage, AJ started to rise. then he with the rest of the boys performed a song. when he turned, he saw me at the door n he held up his hand motioned for me to wait. halfway thru the song, he stopped singing n started walking towards me. in front of me dere's some gong zuo ren yuan, den a table n some chairs. a couple of staffs were sitting on the chairs n as AJ approaches, one of em stood up n hand him a bottle of water. he then smiled at me and asked me to wait 4 a while. i said ok n stood there n wait. then the staff saw it, n nudge AJ. he said sth to him n AJ stood up n walked towards me.

he told me let's go n we walked out of the door together. after tat, he saw me taking a bottle n a file, i took it frm me n went back inside. i peeped in n saw him putting down my things n asked the staff to look after it. he then came back out n we walked down the corridor. we were rather awkard at first, but den he started talking n we grew closer n closer. when we're outside, dere's several round tables n chairs surrounding the tables, some of em were occupied n we took 1 tat's nt. we sat down n AJ went to get us drinks.

when we came back, we talked n talked n talked like old friends. then he said sth tat made me laugh. tat's when i woke up. when i woke up, i find me smiling. ha ha ha ha.....

tat's a really sweet sweet dream.... how i wish i can have these types of dreams more.... ha ha ha... actually even earlier on, i had a nitemare. i rather nt recollect it now as it's late nite now. so, nxt time ba, nxt time den i post it up.

On July 1st, i checked into the chalet i booked to celebrate my 23rd bdae, n oso to act as a gathering for cd rama stuffs.

At noon, I met Wendy, full-timer @ the bus stop opp hougang sports hall. i was late by like a few mins, cuz i waited 4 the bus 165 4 full 20 mins. bloody bus! then we walked over to mac, where we were to meet up wif another collegue, pt-timer. We reached mac n couldnt' locate him, so we tot he's waiting @ the bus stop, as we did say "mac de bus stop meet". we reach the bus stop n no sign of him. So we called him. no ans, so we wait 4 him to call back. when he called back, it's like 20 past noonn he said tat he's still @ hm as he's doing his project.

At arnd half past 12, he reached. (actually he's living near where we meet) We walked over to a coffee shop to eat lunch. After tat, we went to take bus 88 to pasir ris. when we reached it's like 1:30pm n we went to purchase our bbq stuffs @ white sand shopping mall. we had quite much fun in ntuc as we all looking arnd n deciding which to buy. Over @ the wine section we had much fun. we knew nth much abt wine n we were like 'di-gum di-gum' which brand to buy. we spent quite some time there deciding. After tat we went to pay 4 the sutffs. dis time rnd, i'm pretty qing song, cuz i'm nt the one to push the trolley arnd n carry heavy stuffs. my collegue took most of the heavy stuffs. hehe... Tks eh KT... Tks a lot!

At a few mins past 3, we're waiting at the taxi stand 4 a cab. i suggested to take a cab as i saw we had quite a heavy load n i dun tink it's convenient to take the bus. We waited 4 quite some time n very few cabs come in. So i asked if want to call cab nt, dey say no need. As luck has it, suddenly a lot of cabs came in. So, we gt into 1 pretty fast. the cab driver is quite nice lor. when we reach downtown east, my collegue gt off n started to unload the boot while i pay the fare. then i gt out n help unload. the cab driver even came out to see if we needed help nt. oso while at the white sand taxi stand, he even got out of the cab n try to help us load the stuffs.

At arnd 4pm, after we checked in, we went out to cheers to buy our left over items, like wire mesh, charcoal n drinks. again, my collegue KT took the heavy stuffs, charcoal n drinks, while wendy n me took lighter things. i pratically took nth. ha ha. Then we went back n get started on preparing the food. KT gt his hands on the corn, while wendy wrapped the baby carrots. I went into the bathroom to prepare the chicken, pork n wings. after everything was set, it was arnd half past 5. We sat down n slack a bit b4 KT and wendy went off to ride bicycle.

At 7, they came back sweating n we prepare some more food. KT decided to try on the wine we bought n when he opened it, he realised that need a wine opener to open it. When he couldnt borrow it, he reluctantly went out to cheers to purchase it. when he came back, nt only he bought the opener, he bought marshmellows too, which we forgot to buy. ha ha.

At mins past 8, we started to take things downstairs to start bbq. it was getting late n most ppl have nt arrived yet, so we dilly-dallied a while b4 we go down. Just as we were gng down, 2 guests arrived. my ex-collegues, Evelyn n Eugene. They helped lightened our loads n we went down to start our fire. KT started to arrange the charcoal n i lighted the starters 4 him. after a rocky start, we finally gt the fire started. of course, with Eugene's help too. he helped to fan the fire. ha ha. nt long aft, my 2 frenz arrived. dey gave me flowers n i happily accepted. but then, jan wanted to give me my present in front of my collegues! 0.0"" i told my collegues tat it was a gathering b4 i leave 4 germany, n i didn't tell em it's 4 my bdae. so, i push the present back to jan n told her to give it to me when we were in the room.

At arnd 10 past 10, jolene, other pt-timer, arrived. actually the gang wanted to leave le, but jolene msg me to tell em to wait 4 her to arrive. when she arrived, i introduced her to the ex-staffs, n ex-staffs to her. so they noe one another. jus mins after she arrived, they were leaving. it's pretty late n nxt day wendy n KT need to work. N dey leave w/o finishing the wine! URGH!!

At 11, another guest arrived. QH, ex-promoter of blue max. when she gt there, we started continue bbqing n talked. we chit chat a lot of thing, almost everything under the sun (or rather moon). at some poit, when she gt up to take some of her things down, she oso brought down my frenz. we started to chit chat n it was well into early morn b4 my frenz went up to sleep. the 3 of us continued to chit chat n chit chat until arnd half past 4 in the morn we went up. we took turns to bathe and when we r done bathing, it was mins past 5. They intended to stay awake thru/o the nite cuz dey need to leave early morn. So we played cards. we played Big 2 n 1st time is QH won. then followed by Jolene, then me. it was 1 full turn b4 the win stuck on me. ha ha. then QH like nt happy (mock angry/upset) she used the pillow to hit jolene's buttocks n tat rnd, she won! ha ha. then we said tat jolene's buttocks r "zao cai pi gu". she continued to hit the nxt rnd, but it was me who won. he he.

At 6 in the morning, we had one last rnd, cuz jolene said tat it's nt fun as she didn't win, cept the 2nd rnd. so she declared tat match the last match, which she......won! ha ha. in actual fact, it's due to QH need to drive in the morn, she she needed the sleep in order to drive well. after dey went to sleep, i went on to my comp trying to write up the stories. after a while, my mind is total blank n my eyes lids r getting heavier, i decided to sleep. when i turn rnd, i saw my space is being taken! i actually was to sleep btwn jolene n jan on the bed, while jo n QH on the pulled out bed. tat jan ah, sleep like log, tried to push her away, she wont budge, try to get her wake up she oso wont budge. in the end, i sat on the stool n put my head on the table.

At 8, i culdn sleep as my sleeping position nt correct, n i get very sore on my shoulders n neck. as my curtains r closed, no light culd shine in. so it didnt look like it's already 8. i culdnt take it anymore, i sat on the floor n put my head on the stool to try sleep. it was like a while later when jo sat up on the bed. as i culdnt sleep, i kept opening my eyes to see any movements on the bed. finally i saw jo sitting up on her bed, i quickly like "pasat ah soh" like tat waving my hand frantically and say "excuse me! excuse me! excuse me!" den i lied flat on her bed on my stomach. waaa... tat's the most comfortable feeling on earth at moment 4 me.

At 11:30, i woke up hearing voices. i saw only jan n jo, so i asked where my collegues were. they said they left earlier on. i saw on the table tat dey left a note 4 me. it was a bdae greeting and a note saying tat dere's a present 4 me. after tat, jo called her fren HP to buy breakfast on her way in 4 us.

At 12:30, jan n i went out to buy more food as it's nt enough 4 tat day's bbq. n more drinks too. then, my other grp of frenz were coming n they were leaving a short while after tat, so we have to start bbq in the afternoon, under the great hot sun. when my frenz arrived, they said it's too hot n went on to ride bicycle. we started the bbq as we're hungry le. we maintained the fire til dey came back n dey took over as we're done. i went up to the room n being too tired, n nt getting enough sleep, i fell asleep. it was later when i woke up, some of my frenz left.

At 4:30, i woke up n went down wanted to help them clear those stuffs. Jo n HP decided to go ktv, but tat day i wasnt into it, so i declined. instead, i went out wif my other fren karen n cindy, who wanted to go bowling. jan wanted to stay in room, but i managed to get her out n come along wif us. little did we noe, downtown east is having a renovation of their carpark, so the building where bowling alley used to be is taken down. so, no choice we walked to white sand shopping center to walk walk.

At half past 10, we went separate ways. karen n cindy went home while me n jan went back to chalet. earlier on when i passed KFC, i smelt the fragrance of fried chicken, i wanted to eat it. so jan n i went to buy KFC to go back to room to eat.

At mins b4 midnite, jo came back frm ktv n as i promised, i n jan went out to meet her. we checked out hotmails on the free internet provided 4 a while b4 we went back to the room. after we showered, we slacked 4 a while b4 we cut the cake i bought earlier on. after tat, we played rounds of Big 2 n we on my laptop to listen to music. it went well into the night n i'm nt sure is our voices too loud or our music too loud, nxt door banged on the door to tell us to quiet down. i dun tink dey're able to hear lor, afterall, dere's walls btwn us. n even if dey're asleep, dey shldnt able to hear anything de lor... crazy ppl. our music r nt tat loud at all lor... ASSHOLES! bloody idiots! anyway, after a while, we decided to go to bed.

At 9, i woke up to my rooster alarm. me being nt able to sleep enough, lai chuang lai until dey r done washing up. after tat, we finished the cake n packed up all our stuffs n checked out. after tat, i had a lot of things to carry home, n i lazy to take bus, so i suggested to take a cab hm. whf jan helping me to carry some. we dropped jo @ her hse on the way back.

At arnd 2, i went to ps to meet up wif em 4 a movie. we wanted to watch 3pm den show, but selling fast, seats nt good, so we ended up watching a 5+ movie. when we came out, it's already 8+. We went on 4 dinner @ cafe cartel. after tat, i went to carrefour to buy my luggage bag. i initially wanted to take mrt hm, but tot of having to carry up n down the bus, it's nt tat convenient, so i phone my father if it's possible to come fetch me. but my father dun have the car wif him, it's wif my mother, so i phoned her to come fetch me.


It was an eventful 3 days 4 me as i get to meet up wif my ex collegues n frenz. I had a thoroughly fun and happy time esp. on 1st july. it's fun to see wendy n KT 'arguing' arnd n its enjoyable to chit chat wif QH n jolene til early morn. TKS to all who have attended this chalet! Thanks a lot! Domo Arigato Gozaimashita! Xie Xie! Timakasi! Nandri!........etc.......

Went to watch superman on 3rd July, my bdae. The 1st thing i'd say is..... SUPER DRAGGY!! The movie is 3hrs long and there's not much action! 80% of the show is Romance, btwn Clarke, Luis n Richard. Normally when I watch a movie, I'd always remembered what the show was about at the end and I'd discuss with my frenz about it, but this show, i totally cant remember what it is about! Ok, there's some, but only a little!

Scenes I can remember:

1) Superman came back n his adopted mother took him home.

2) Went back to his old office n met up wif his old collegues.

3) Saved a plane that failed to disconnect with a rocket, n that plane had his ex-gf in it.

4) The bad guy found superman's hideout.

5) Luis n her son kidnapped by bad guy

6) Bad guy wanted to create a new world, n drown US.

7) Superman went to save Luis, n gt injured himself.

8) Superman lying in the hospital, a nurse tried to do an injection, but the needle cant pierced thru.

9) Luis n her son went to visit him.

10) Luis told superman tat her son, Jason is his n nt Richard's.

11)Bad guy n his gf landed in a tiny island in nowhere, n dey cant get outta there cuz helicopter gt no more fuel. *(this part i remember most clearly cuz bad guy gt wat he deserved! ha ha!)*

Well, basically tat's all i remembered. The show's 3-hr long n these r the only scenes i can remember. lame rite?

I wuld strongly suggest nt to go watch! Waste of time, money n energy. No point watching. The movie shld actually cut it shorter. much shorter....
