cus im leaving, on a jet plane. don't know when i'll be back again...

im kidding. yes im leaving on a jetplane, but i'll be back on 28th night. few hours from now, i'll be off to the airport to catch my flight to shanghai for the next 8 days. it's kinda exciting, since it's been a while since i travelled with my sis, much less my dad. though the last trip there was kinda boring, i've got a good feeling this time it'll be better. hopefully, at least.

but the important thing is i'll still be able to catch my soccer from there! that is, if my mum is not wrong about her tv being able to tune to the matches too. scarly she anyhow say ah... then i'll jus faint! esp the last grp stage match between KOREA and switzerland! its quite a crucial match, unless of course, france succeeds in screwing up again. but even then, it'll be to see who climbs to the top of the table, and who'll have a better draw during the knock out match. ko~KOREA!

so bye bye my friends in singapore... my handphone's not gonna go with me, jus in case any of the people here dunno that im overseas and decide to sms me a "OK" or "YES" when im in shanghai and i end up having to pay 50 cents for that. but i'll still be very reachable though, will be checking my email everyday. msn too. so anything, jus email me ok!!

world cup mania has started. and we girls, although not usual fanatics of soccer, spent the night tgt watching the germany-costa rica match. and it's good that there were 6 goals that night, which gave us lots of chances to go "GOOOOOAAALLL!", jus for the fun of shouting. :) went shopping for groceries to re-try our cheese cake, which turned out rather fine. had LOTS of food, courtesy of kuey-chap stall and my mother of course. it was a night well spent, really. been a while since we had the chance to gather together like this, no thanks to our jobs, holidays, and other no-need-to-mention reasons. its gna be a while till we can do smthg like this again, since it'll be my turn to go off next, and then our respective orientations will start.

new member: ah gua! though tay refuses to acknowledge her new found 'gay' partner, and insists on naming watermelon gua gua gua~~~, we also dun wan to acknowledge anything other than ah gua. as usual, dun care abt tay's opinion. the funniest thing was, ah gua dun have facial features like kaluo, nana and ah kio. so our ingenius ah tay came up with an ingenius idea to paste eyes and sorts on ah gua using paper and scotchtape! ah gua looked super out of place during the fruits n veg group shot lah!

gna be another busy week ahead. my heart's fluttered, stomach's full of butterflies abt what may take place. the worst? or the unexpected? well i guess the point is not really that. focus on the reason, yeah? seeketh first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness - and all these things shall be added unto you. amen.

introducing - nana.ahkio.ahgua.kaluo.

i've officially graduated from the korean class! we did it emily! actually judging from how excited i was abt it frm the beginning, it's actually quite unexpected that it'd become so dreadful towards the end. i hate it when lessons are nothing but hangul. and sometimes the song-seng-nim would like to pick on me and emily. we are not baek-chok or whatever it is you call us! but it's not that bad either... it's quite exciting when there's listening comprehension. and at least i can proudly say that i can read the korean alphabet now. but understanding what those sounds mean - that's another issue altogether.

not gna continue to the intermediate level. dun think i've got the time for it anymore, now than sch is abt to start. and i dun wna waste the money too la. sgd300 is no peanuts alrights... especially when im on the verge of ending my job stint.

speaking of which! this fri is my last day at citi! its been three looooonnnggg mths, can u believe it. i tolerated ah nah and the lazy pple in the office for 3 mths! happening man. ah nah is getting more and more irritating la. whole day force-coughing, then mumble mumble... can hear him force-coughing as i sit here man. bye bye citi! i hope u guys die of overwork when me and titu leaves! gosh im evil. but i like it :)

uberburger and back. well the burgers were nicely served and tasted not bad. but the service was ultimately horrifying. for such a place with such ambience, decoration and reputation (it being the 'sister' of corduroy & finch), it had terrible, horrible, vegetable service.

in the first place, when i reached, they didn't bother to serve ice water nor send the menu even though i was sitting there all alone. then we had to ask for ice water, and had to wait eons for the last 3 glasses to be served. and when we were finished, there was no replenishing of water even though we asked for it. then we waited 1 hour for our order to be served, only to find out that the server who took our order had misplaced our order chit. and that wasn't what irritated me the most. what pissed me off the most was that the server who made the mistake didn't even come to apologize and re-take the orders. someone else came instead, and that particular server steered clear of our table from that moment on. didn't even have the decency to apologize! and the other server who came didnt have a good attitude either.

it's as if they didnt understand the english we spoke or what. the hoo-ha about the size of the bucket of the fries - how on earth would we know what your normal size is like?! then we had to wait eons again for the dishes to be cleared, before we could blow out the cake. and i discovered that there was a disgusting towgay in my glass of ice water. and when the dishes were finally cleared, the two servers were like super buay song also. c'mon lor! im more buay song than u! i didn't make a reservation 1 week in advance and for so many people to get this kind of shit service lor!

so what if we got 20% off the bill and a promise to have drinks/desserts on the house the next time we go? i dun think i'll ever go back jus for the sake of the free drinks or desserts. totally not worth it. uberburger has ultimately lousy service. and the food is not heavenly fantastic either. and the pricing isn't that good too. so to all you people reading this - do not patronize uberburger.

nvr let a customer leave dis-satisfied. you nvr noe what word of mouth is able to do.

im back after a standstill of what, four mths? round of appplause, thank you very much. anyway this return was inspired mainly by two things - the fact that im gna leave to go hostel soon and i shld probably keep family and friends updated, and of cus... the one and only... XMEN!

oh man! totally worth my 3 years' wait! me and jianing throughout the whole show i think we spent like 70% of the show in 'shock' mode. frozen there, with one fist clenched and the other hand over the mouth. ok im not gna be a spoiler here on my blog, definitely not like the idiots behind us who gloriously said out loud this person like that, that person like that BEFORE the show started. gosh those pple really stepped on my toes hard. i didnt wait 3 years for one of my favourite shows jus for some idiots frm behind to spoil me. so to all you people out there who goes to cinemas, here's my two cents worth --
1. dun bring your irritating kids who will go, "mummy what's the time now?" or "mummy i don't want to watch alr..." or "mummy i want to xu xu..." in the middle of the the show's climax.
2. dun bring any sweets that have plastic wrappers around them, or any chips that are wrapped with plastic. ricola lozenges, m&m's or pringles preffered. the lower the sound decibels, the better.
3. all phones to silent mode pls. better still, shut it off. i did that for xmen, cus i truly wanted to enjoy the show. and if you HAVE to have it in silent mode, at least dun start fiddling with the phone in the middle of the show. the strong lcd lights of today's 3g phones irritates the hell out of me.
4. clear ur bladders before the show. need i say more?
5. if ur tall, then sit at the back la. or else slouch down can? i wanna see the whole, FULL screen. cant help it if im vertically challenged.

in conclusion, jus let pple who truly are anticipating a good show ENJOY the show in full pleasure. got that clear? on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being very good), i think i'd still give my enjoyment of x3 a 11. but the folks arnd me in the cinema could've made it much higher.

but dun be mistaken, x3 still rox my sox. *grins.
