This entry will showcase all the winning photos. =)))
all of you should go blow this up big big and put it on your bedroom wall. heh.
or small small also can, make into postcards.
i took these two shots only… but they’re pretty k. though this anemone fish keeps turning it’s back on me everytime i pull the shutter of the camera.
hence… i was trying to copy the boy lah, like his clownfish one, so pretty… but failed.. but the colours are still nice k.
Post Script: working at Simei Ite now, and Cafetaria 2 keeps on playing this cd which features songs like Dont Cha, that irritating frog song, Home, Ronan Keating’s, Superstar. They are all ok if i hear them once but if it’s on loop for 3 straight days, i have the right to make noise.
i tell you, the school is huuuuggeeee….. the cafetaria is like Banquet, with their own hi fi set, cushion area for staff, a projector that plays movies sometimes and full length glass window which overlooks the field and the swimming pool. talk about a swanky school.
planned to blade but it’s pouring non-stop. just got back home from entertaining the boy. his holidays will end proper today and then work it is for him. [even with work, he still has alot of free time. =P]
ahhh…. i shall do something productive while waiting for the rain to stop. clean up my room will be a good start.=)
say hello to buddy divers~! =) hahahaha…. yes, you will now see pictures of the boy underwater as well cause yours truly have been given the opportunity to play with the uber expensive underwater camera [that can survive up to 60m deep though the user {aka me or the boy} would have been dead by then cause at 40, oxygen turns toxic.]
an example of a technology that will not be used by humans. anyways, im digressing, back to diving.
it’s a great deal and because it is a fantastic deal, i shall promote the diving operator here. [because andy got so many new boarders thru my blog. i tell you, people should pay me money to advertise on my blog. {ya ya ya, like im big shot like tt right.} but i did raise this up to andy during wakeboarding just now. and he just said thanks. ya. thanks ah. sheesh. -.- ]
and again im digressing. ok yes, so we went with Scuba Corner. [so everyone... GO.]
4 hours journey to Mersing…
hello to sunrise in Mersing.
and then morning boat ride to Pulau Aur. 2 hours journey where i got sea sick. i wanted to puke like an hour into the journey but didnt want to stink up the air plus having to hold the bag of puke, so i tahan-ed until the very end, then waaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrkkkkkkk…. everything came out. hahahaha.
and we arrived on Atlantis Bay Resort. [well, not really a resort but yes.]
our own private beach. how swanky cool is that?
white powder sand…. hot blazing sun…… amazing company…. sigghhh…
the veranda outside the rooms. breath taking view. at night lagi best. the wind all… i could probably sleep outside, actually i think i did.
i dont know who this is. do not ask. bad photograph taken by an equally bad photographer.
hehehe… now steady bom pi pi already. no more problem equalizing. BEST.
of course i had to down Clarinase pills and Sea Sick pills every day just to play on the safe side.
underwater can pose for the camera already. =DD
of course the boy is also very happy now cause i can take pictures of him pretending to be superman underwater. hiak hiak hiak.
ive mentioned that he is not a fantastic buddy right? [im gonna get a spank for blogging this down. darling? read my disclaimer k? =P]
see, on top of me having to constantly look out for him cause he’s always busy taking photographs. ok ok, need to get the picture right.
so you see, there’s always a divemaster/instructor. [like a tourguide you know, guides you underwater, shows you things lowly human beings like me cannot see.]
then there are like 6 other divers. so 3 pairs.
and we just dive… divemaster in front and you have to keep up. not so keep up but just try to stay within the pack.
guess who’s always last? the boy.
so i have to always swish my body behind [ do note movements underwater is slower k.], make sure the boy is behind me. plus the fact that sometimes he has this uncanny habit of lying still on the sand bed to take a picture of a fish so i cant see him. well, cause i would like to think he’s moving instead of lying still on the ground. -.-
so, once i spot him, i have to swish my body back again to make sure i see the person in front of me. so many times, i’ll lose either one then i start to panic. -.-
never mind, that one ok lah, worse come to worse just ascend if i cannot find him after more than a minute searching.[ though i swear for my case it would be less than 30 seconds cause firstly i dont have a dive com, secondly i WILL panic so much my air will go down before you can say octupus.]
yes, as i was saying, worse is, this guy’s first stage, main regulator is not working. see, we always have to carry 2 regulators, one for you and the other one is in case your buddy runs out of air, you can share air. but my sayang of a buddy here, main regulator not working ["it has water inside k, so i cannot use."] he use his second stage!!!!!!
can you imagine if i had run out of air????? my goodness! the audacity! and i didnt even know this until i was underwater!
see the second regulator is always the brighter coloured one. so i was swishing about underwater saw that the yellow one is in his mouth, then i thought oh oklah, this boy put in the wrong colour, then i went up to him, gently tap him on his shoulder to show him that he placed the second one instead of the main one and he violently shook! wah Kaoz!
worse i cant say anything underwater, want to smack him underwater also no point cause the action would probably take like 3 seconds and by tt time, something else would have caught my attention. tsk. i tell you. if it’s not cause of love, he would be the last person i want to buddy with.
SEE… YELLOW regulator in the mouth. -.- oh! best, the boy doesnt only pisses me off underwater, he pisses fish off underwater too! hahahaha!!! so many times, all the fish come and attack him like. see in the above picture, verrrryy good…
got one fish ah, consistently come up straight to his face with the mouth wide open. such a laughable moment. [the fish got tired attacking him and started to attack me instead and got me flustered cause it really did look scary.]
i attract fish for different reason. heh. the boy filled up a bottle with pieces of bread and water then we brought it down underwater and squish the contents out, then all the fish came to me. =))) that was awesome man. they were all around me. intimidating at first but i enjoyed the moment to the very end.
ok ok… now see picturs the boy and me took k. =)
very nice…
Sea slugs… wah.. i know im not a fan of worms but goodness gracious me, i actually find sea slugs AMAZING creatures. they really DO stand out underwater. they are so colourful and move oh so graciously, i swear i can watch them for hours.
i think this is a feather star. anyway they are pretty… they way the move underwater very captivating.
ok, this is only for people with good eyesight k. i spotted an moray eel. YES, IT IS IN THIS PICTURE. dont ask the obvious k. go hunt yourself. sheesh. moray eels hide under stupid rock formations plus this is the first time im using the camera. you think use camera very easy is it? -.-
nudibranches. they are like sea slugs. i tell you, im getting better at this whole animal kingdom underwater. heh. thanks to the book that the boy bought, which is super interesting. and i know their scientific names k. dont play play. the first one is Phyllidia varicosa and the second one is Phyllidia coelestis. [klah, the book is in front of me right now.]
i swear this is a pair of lizard fish. hmmm.. the boy say it isnt but i swear it is! i read it off another diver’s book. i spotted it and they are not really good camouflages you know. i can spot them quite a distance actually.
cuttlefish! wah! they are amazing! they change colour one! super cool!
took quite a bit but will post them in another entry.
sea cucumber, dont get dirty ideas. though i do chuckle every now and then when i bump into this underwater. heh. this is an extremely good shot. the colours came out beautifully. well done buddy boy.
parrotfish! i took this one. before the trip i was looking through the book and told sham that i find the fish super ugly but underwater their colours are enough to blind you. they are very very pretty…
crown of thorns. they eat up corals. bad bad bad. they are a type of starfish, they eat up live corals and in turn is eaten up by Triton Trumpet Shell. [ i have done my reading k. =P]
puffer fish! ugly fish. it reminds me of my class tutor in sec 2. god i hate her. charlene and i started calling her pregnant cow because she really looked like one. man, charlene will laugh so hard when she sees this fish and says it’s true.
this time round, not so many clownfish compared to tioman, so naturally i got excited when i saw one. like i say, i find them really awesome.
we saw a turtle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god. i nearly peed in my wetsuit. [i know. i know.]
goodness, it is so majestic. more pictures in the next post.
can swish around, say hello, make signs, take photos, make stupid faces at the boy, hehehe, hell, can even pose with marine creatures. =))
heh.
im kidding lah. there were 2 divers being tested to become rescue divers, so yah….
diving very safe k. almost all of the injuries that occure curing diving happens on the boat and not under waters. [see, i still remember what Chris and Robin told me.]
well… the next post will be on all the award winning pictures by both sham and yours truly. [whats your problem? yes, i do have some pictures that can be blown up k.]
but im tired and posting pictures take ages.
ps: to the parents who are frightened of letting their little girl go diving cause they find it dangerous, thanks for trusting me.=)) need to let go hor, alot of things i do also dangerous. wait till you see me wakeboard. hehehe! smack here, smack there, diving nothing one. i assure you. love!!
post-script: today’s wake boarding session? kaoz, andy teaching me how to jump AND do a 180 degress turn. ha. ha ha ha ha. which of course failed miserably. cause i ended up laughing hysterically. but will attain it soon. give me time. =)))
hehehehe. =))
“I saw your pic in the papers! congrats!”
“i saw your big fat face!”
“dah popular seeyyy..”
“your pic very big in the papers”
“check out straits times home section page 8.”
WWAAAAAAHHHHH………..
jengjengjengjeng….
tralalalalalalalalala……. =)))))))))))))) 
Super tralalalalalalaala….. =))))))))) hehehehehehehehehe….
very happy.
diving photos will be up soon.
diving at Aur was super cooooolllllll…. i saw so many cool stuff!!!
and the boyfriend allowed me to use his swanky expensive underwater camera. will post them up soon!!!!!
i studied from 11 to 2. [at least i looked thru the notes lah ok. shut up.]
met hairol and liza who were about to have lunch, chatted with him, then saw maybelyn, chatted with her… then home it was.
got ready, got my suit out, blow dried my hair and made my way to dreaded SP to get the school’s badge, then made my way to YMCA for an interview with Berita Harian. [hiak hiak hiak.]
Meet Suryani Omar, an uber friendly reporter with Berita Harian, the champion in the JC category and also an Asean Scholar [dont play play] Md Anaf. meet also, the 2nd runner up, Lydia Adlina who used to much purple eyeshadow on her eyes, that she looked as if she got punched by someone 10 minutes ago.
then we had several photo-taking, and the PESA AWARD CERMONY began proper. [of course, including the whole lack of punctuality by VIPs, and extra long speeches by them.]
man! Pearl Forss WAS THERE!!!!! she’s damn gorgeous…. tsk… i also want to be CNA reporter… sigh…[and wear a bigass diamond ring and blind other people.]
she gave a speech off the cuff, i was uberly impressed.
“…and Lydia Adlina, 2nd runner up in the Open category from Singapore Polytechnic.” 
then i had an interview with a Straits Times reporter who made my day. absolutely made my day…
“i am very impressed with you even after talking for just 5 minutes, would you like to do an internship with Straits Times? maybe when you’re free, call me and you can come down. ill bring you to take a look around. here’s my name card, and ill give you my cell phone number.”
HELL! i nearly died in my seat. my mouth was hanging wide open! did he just say tt???
man…. so i promptly texted him after that my particulars. we’ll see how it goes.
gosh, if this pulls through, i really got nothing to say.
they printed my quote on the PESA booklet! first one some more. heheheh. =)))
im starting to love PESA and YMCA i tell you…
baby love. 
dessert after everything. banana crumble. nicer than the apple one i feel. wah…… such a happy day. such a happy happy happy day.
i got 5 thick books as gifts. my god. my holidays are coming, i got so many books to read! im super delirious. FIVE FREE BOOKS! did you hear me???? maaaaaannnn…..
i love free books….
after paper tmr? im going to Pulau Aur with the boy to dive! wah kao.
i tell you, i dont know how many times i have said this, but i love the holidays.
and tmr will be super savvy if the reports on Berita Harian and Straits Times will be printed out. so keep a lookout!!! [hehehehehehehe....i know, i got no shame. not everyday i get to be in the papers whaaaatttttt....]
PS: to mum, thanks for coming down after work for the ceremony. much love. and dad? i know you cant make it cause you’re in Batam, but thanks anyways. hakz.. love love. =)))
tennis court at boyfriend’s place NOT good. no shade one. sun is everywhere! my god.
i nearly pengsan-ed…
the boy then thought me how to use the ball basket which i swear is super cool. just squeeeezzeeee…. perfect for lazy people like me who do not like to bend down to pick up balls.
went back took a bath and dinner it was. just that we had to wait until 7 cause the boy is using a weekend car for now, till his new car comes in december. -.- so weinduced ourselves with episodes from whose line is it anyways.
then we headed to East Coast Lagoon. wah….. the chicken tastes so good…… the seafood so-so only ah. we had kangkong, bamboo clams, bbq-ed squids, stingray, chicken wings, lime juice and sugar cane juice. yes, the two of us eat alot. we are hungrrrrryyyy people.
i felt the shop we usually frequent is better, of course newton still tops lah. the stingray abit dry for my liking. but chicken is pow-wow. [word courtesy of maz.]
then bought satay for the kedodoks. [is that the word you used yanti? not sure lah.]
they said only got 3 people, when sham dropped me off there after dinner, there were 8 people. -.-
and i bought only 20 satay. in 10 minutes, all gone, and not all got a taste of it.
meet thomas and yanti. heh.
got my iced cocoa and then home it was.
tired. im going diving over the weekend! wah kao! i cannot wait. i simply cannot wait……..
*dies smiling*
he he he he he.
i wanted the Rollerblades Core W5, but somehow, the boy had me convinced plus the salesman to get the Rollerblades Aero W9.
which is nice… dont get me wrong. it looks savvy. the price also very savvy.
my Rollerblades Core W5 cost 178 but this baby here cost a cool 298… wooosh.
im not sure whether you know what i mean, but that’s expensive.
see… super nice right… super comfortable also. plus, it’s so easy to wear. yalah, the Rollerblade Core W5 have to tie strings and all, this one has this pulley device at the back of the blades, where all i have to do is pull it tight. so yes… a definite plus point there.
and the padding is much much nicer to feel than the Core W5.
but the price definitely lose out lah.
told elaine about the purchase..
“elaine! sham i bought the blades already! wah so expensive! 298 per pair ah….”
“WOW.”
“got discount lah. 270. but still…”
“ohkaaaaay…. WOW.”
hehehehe.
cause she was the one who told me dont buy above 250. aiyah.
heh. i bladed in the house for a full 10 minutes just to make sure my legs doesnt feel pinchy.
i like it. alot. =D
and the boy one is same pair different colour. yellow. so funny. shouldn’t it be the other way round? like girl’s yellow, then boy’s my colour? the turqoisey colour.
nontheless… i love my blades and i cant wait to go blading!
used to blade last time, just that i had this major accident with Edric, fell down, cut my tongue real bad, deep gash on my forehead, my toe was literally split open, couldnt eat anything but porridge to get my tongue back in shape, was in slippers with e padded toe for 2 mths in school. hehehe….
time to face my fears and get back on those rollerssss……
though i just realised i forgot how to break. i bladed in the house and had to hold on to something to stop myself. which is not good. hmmm…
plus the boy dont know how to blade. can you believe it? so cartoon if the two of us were to go east coast in our spanking blades only to fall down countless of times. hahaha.
so funny right… cannot blade then spend so much on blades. he had better like blading.
i am going to make him adore blading so he will feel justified with his purchases.
the boy bought padding. *giggles*
so kuniang…. =P
i didnt. all these knee guards lah, elbow guards lah, i dont play hor. =P
ruggard a bit lah, fall down, get cut on the knees, scrap the elbows…. wah… get blue black on the bum…. good what. i know, im sick but i like… makes me feel rrrooouuuggghhhh….
hiak hiak hiak.
had dinner with the dad’s cutomer after at his place. super nice place man…. Tanjung Rhu road.
i like.. so quiet, staring out at the field. waaahhhh……
yes…. study. tsk. dammit lah. when will exams be over. i got so many things i want to do! grrrr…..
oklah. plus the fact that the dreaded paper is on tuesday and im only at chapter 4.
but i studied today! so im proud. he he he he.
2 major distractions today.
lunch with the sister. we had zinger. foooosssshhhh, ive been craving for it since god knows when. then we had drinks at starbucks where i received alot of stories from her!! =DDDD very good. got new website to go and kaypoh.
then i studied… studied studied until evening. dinner.
mazzy came. very good.
then she took out her new macbook. all hell broke loose.
the baristas came out and we played with her new toy. dammit. if there’s one reason why i would splurge close to 3 bloody K for a macbook, it would be for the pinsize hole camera smacked right at the top. [i barely noticed it] and it takes fantabulous pictures!
so we got wacky. wacky people included maz, nads, faliq, yaz and myself.
super fun. it was crazzzzzyyyyyy…..
then they all, ok lah, not all. only nads and maz took turns to edit it, while i studied my last 2 chapters. and they produced this.
grammatical errors thanks to NADS. HIAK HIAK HIAK. he’s so gonna kill me.
I DID NOT DO THE CAPTIONS. I REPEAT, I DID NOT DO THE CAPTIONS.
phewww…. they so cannot be comic strip writers.
and now back to law….. what a spoiler right. i know. tell me about it man.
i have mine too.
i still have space left to be reminded constantly of things i want to forget but it’s getting limited…
do not compare… i am me.
why am i not studying?
it’s because of endless of distractions be it good or bad plus the fact that i am officially sick of exams cause i dont see the purpose in it.
like today? i actually went wakeboarding with elaine in the morning. can you imagine?
my paper is in likr 4 days time? bah.
today was so much fun! i had a great work out! jeff picked me up last at 730 in the morning after picking up the boy and dave and we all headed to harbourfront to have breakie. ate at delifrance and waited for the rest of people to head to Batam. The boy’s mt kinabalu team mates organised a get together for a day at at the cable ski park in Batam. i could hardly wait cause i havent done any sports for close to 2 weeks with all the projects and what nots.
my team mates from mt kinabalu organised a trip to Batam for cable ski. i asked jeff, dave [kakinang kakinang man. *shows a hunky face*] and of course my darling girlfriend cause she has been so awesome to me lately, no wait, actually all the time.
i swear sham was stoning on board the boat towards Batam. the boy didnt sleep the whole night, i suspect he’s either nervous about losing to me or his genuinely tired. ha ha ha ha. it was an hour ride and had a chat with the rest who teased me about paying so much about my tioman diving trip cause they all paid 1/3 of my cost. so now i know the norm rate, i shall be smart about picking my next diving centre for my advance diving course.
i didnt sleep the whole night cause i was being entertained by the girlfriend [who i sometimes think runs on batteries] till 5 plus in the morning. [she keeps me awake alrrrriiggghhhttt.]
i saw the cable ski area and it’s so much bigger than the pathetic one in east coast!! i swear it’s at least 3 times or 4 times bigger. oh, i could hardly wait! i was ready to go. i slathered lots and lots of sun block lotion and put on the respective gears. we started at 1030.
everyone was so excited but i kept my cool. i didnt rush and stood there to take in the sunlight. oh, how i love the sun.
we had a choice of going for the kneeboard, which is a similar looking board to the wakeboard, just that you kneel on it, crouch and get pulled by the cable line, though somehow to me, it didnt look comfortable, so i decided to forgo it and went straight ahead to the wakeboard with jeff and dave. the boy tried the knee board and im so glad he did, cause after so much tries, he couldnt get on the wakeboard! but trust me, it wasnt so easy.
my girl looks so sassy with the board that says “chics rule”, though she fell down so many times. hehehehe. the three of them jumped straight to the wakeboard while i decided to play save with the knee board. i managed to go round the thing once, and thank god i did cause i couldnt get on the wakeboard! [i must remind my girlfriend to force me along on her wakeboarding trips so i can keep up to shape no matter how violently i protest.]
so you place your feet into the feet bindings and sit on the platform.
wait for the men to give you a line to hold on to and wait patiently for the cable to pull you.
oh it is NOT easy. i did this COUNTLESS of times. in total, if im not wrong, i did 12 tries before i could finally stand up. it was horrible. i was quite frustrated cause i could do it behind a boat but i couldnt do it now! i think one of the guys realised how frustrated i felt, he decided to slow down the speed just for me, which helped i suppose just that i fell 5 minutes later.
and when you fall, it gets horrible cause it’s freshwater, you dont float as much, so you just sink and swallow water like you’ve been dehydrated for 4 days. i hate freshwater. for saltwater, all i have to do is bob up and down and swim back to the boat. plus the helmet is waaaaayyy to big for my tiny head, it kept falling down my face and i had trouble swimming back, cursing silently at the hideous pink helmet that got into my way.
doesn’t she just look geeky with her pink helmet diary? [of course she's awesome inside and no ugly helmet will change that fact. im a sensitive man yah.]
but of course, i never give up. i was determined to at least go round the waterbody at least one. it was close to 12, time for lunch. and the guy who slowed down the speed for me told me i will get a surprise should i be able to stand before lunch. i was even more determined.
i peservered and kept on trying and trying… and i finally could stand. =))
i was delirious, i kept screaming and yelling my hearts out only to fall flat on my face 5 minutes later. but the adrenaline was incredible.
lydia kept on trying and trying and trying, i felt so proud of her. she finally stood up! everyone cheered for her and i just did my part and snapped photos. my baby is vain, very vain. she likes photos taken of her but she pretends she doesnt know she’s being taken though secretly she ACTUALLY knows she’s being snapped at.
cause i fell quite far from the starting point, a man on a bike kindly went to grab me and i received cheers and claps from other people cause of my acheivement. i was so proud. i told myself i had to complete at least one round.
she was all smiles when she came back on the motorbike.
lunch came, and i had more hours of boarding to go. we had to stop at 6, and i had 6 more hours to go. lunch was surprisingly decent. the fried rice was good, or maybe cause i was just hungry. i actually finished the whole packet. =))
the boy got flanked by dogs so i promptly left his side while he continued feeding the dogs. i told him to throw his scraps of food farfar away so i could go there but that boy conveniently placed the food gently right next to him the dogs lapped it up right next to him. -.-
lydia left my side cause i was being surrounded by dogs who wanted my scraps, so i fed them. eventhough she’s scared of dogs, i still fed them. im not sure why i did it… it’s a guy thing you know. it’s hard to understand them sometimes cause she did ask me to feed them, so i did! then she made noise. siao.
we had some entertainment during lunch, some people got up the cable to do free fall into the waters. it looks fun, i wouldnt mind doing but the boy said it’s silly. yeah, the danger is there, but for the fun of it and for the spirit of team outing, i would have braved my fear of heights and climbed the thing to jump. it would have been a good practice to overcome my phobia of heights but everyone was pretty much negative about it, hence i stayed put.
they did some silly acts, jumping off the cable. my gf wanted to do it but i said it’s silly. besides, my insurance doesnt cover silly acts likes those. my gf said im a spoilt blanket but no, i’m just concerned over her safety!
while lunch was being digested, we took a 5 minutes ride to go karting. when i saw the place, i had mixed feelings. i hated looking at the place, for no apparent reasons. of course i couldnt show it since everyone was so happy and i didnt want to spoil the mood. plus it didnt help that i was subtly being reminded about it. gah. but it was a plesant first -try, since ive never go karted before, yes, you heard me right diary, and neither have i bowled before. so what?
i did go karting after lunch. post lunch acitivity. this was my second visit. i like to tease my girlfriend’s command of english cause she’s always playing cop with my standard of english, so when she does make those rare mistakes, i will jump at the opportune. hehehehe. of course, receiving pinches and smacks almost immediately after, like in the picture above.
i was last on the line and i think i didnt complete one round cause i was slow, well that is just cause i am a safe driver and would never ever dream of hurting anyone else on the road including myself. dave went past me twice and jeff, the guy who drives at 4o km/h on the road past me once, so you can imagine how slow i was. i saw the boy on the tracks but i paid more attention to what’s in front. i got dizzy after. the tracks went round and round that i was about to puke. we waited for the other set of group to go and i had time to un-dizzy myself.
lydia was slow. S – L – O – W slow. but thats cause she’s a safe driver. like i say, safety first.
we got back and i snapped back to my happy self. =) jeff and dave decided to do a duo thingy and it looks so cooooollll….. if only i was good enough, i would have asked someone to do it with me.
jeff is hooked to it that he wants to purchase his own board. talk about getting hooked! 
i gave up trying after and converted myself to become the photographer for the day. snapped pictures for everyone. it was good that i stopped trying, i mean my body was aching, and i got to eat longans amd my favourite.. CORN!!! =D
i managed to complete one round after that. i just kept trying and trying and trying. to some it may be a good or a bad thing but there were ’spectators’ at the side. weekend activity the boy said. they were all having their little picnic at the side of the waterbody. so if you fall, be prepared to get laughed at, which happened to me more than once. but i dont know, it was cause of that, i wanted to try even harder to prove that i could do it. heh. and it was good walking past all of them smiling. =)
if at first you don’t succeed, brush yourself up and try again. my muscles were all aching but i continued.
i looked so good walking back with the board on my shoulders, barefooted, dripping with water… hiak hiak hiak hiak. so good that the boy couldnt resist taking a snapshot. =PPP
i just had to snap that photo of lyd cause it’s like a picture taken of a californian magazine, like one of those surfer chics with their very own board.
they brought a 4 months old puppy wakeboarding! poor puppy. i swear he was traumatised. he’s one sick puppy too, he kept mounting on his mother’s back and humped on her like there’s no tmr.
the boy gave up trying after well and proceeded to take a nap while i took a much needed shower. ahhh… every inch of my body felt like crap.
i took a nap while she took her shower cause being me, i never ever bring my own toiletires so i always have to sponge off from my girlfriend. she’s very kiasu, everything also bring, so i take advantage of that. hence, i had to wait till she’s done. [i dont even bring my own lotion....comb...hairbrush....sometimes we even have to share towel because im so lazy... we are both clean people ok. couple couple. everything also have to share.]
we nearly missed out ferry back home at 720 and got greeted by an angsty ticketing officer. the boy fell asleep almost immediately though i got abit sick towards the end and jeff was kind enough to get a plastic bag ready just incase i’ll barf.
i slept soundly after and didnt even know my poor gf was sea sick but i know she doesnt mind cause she knows im tired. see, she adores me. i am so lucky.
i was so hungry i could eat a cow. we reached singapore at 8 40 and headed to Newton to have dinner. i ate ALOT. we had bbq-ed squid, stingray, king prawns, kailan, crayfish, rice, limejuice and soursop amongst ourselves.
we had seafood at Newton! aunty jo was there so i got discounts. i LOVE discounts, everywhere i go, ill always ask for discounts. which credit card gets discounts, whatever card i have in my wallet. which is good, cause i save money then i can buy my girlfriend stuff. like the latest i heard she wants a pair of birkenstocks that cost 79 at raffles city and im planning to get it for her once im back from phuke, it’s meant to be a surprise. she doesnt know it yet. oh i cant wait to see the expression on her face when i tell her! [oh yes, i won't be updating much diary, im leaving for phuket this monday for 10 days with dave to go sight seeing. which is an extremely good time cause the princess is having her exams so there will be little or close to no distractions. good timing right. heh.]
oh, newton food never tasted so good. they boys dropped me off after that and the moment my head touched the bed, i was already in la la land.
i ate alot as usual and fell asleep when i got back home. ahhh….
i had lotsa fun and im sure i burned off 5 kilos wakeboarding from 10 plus to 6 plus, on top of the go karting. if i do this every weekend, ill be slim like Beatrice Chia is in NO time. [have i mentioned i want to keep my hair long as hers?]

one,
Sham.
06/08/06
countless of sleepless nights with the girls, fun and laughter, tons of food plus our very own group drama, we churned out a fabalous report. (at least to me it is.)
prayer cakes, sushi, mochi, bubble tea, countless of starbucks coffee, mee sua, shilin snack plus ohoebe’s choc wafer kept us awake to finish it.
sha and shen are now getting our DMA done, which is equally awesome and at the end of the day, we will realise our perfect our group formation is. =)
in much need of rest but aafter the report was handed in, i had to rush back hom cause we had a photoshoot acorss the causeway.
getting our make up done, which i swear made us look like getai singers. i can do a helluva betta job. pink and blue on the face is so orbit.
after the make up, the hair and the costume. i told you we look liked getai singers. PLUS, she put on fuschia/pinkish gloss on me. my goodness. just picture raspberry cream on a chocolate cookie. that was how absured i looked like.
she cannot wear headscarve for nuts. hiak hiak hiak.
when she needs to use them, i always come to the rescue.
so when there’s wedding, or those special occassion, she will sweat and complain like there’s no tmr.
im pretty good with those things. )
“ok ok, face ah, tilt, ahhh… your face look there, yah, ok… body turn but face dont turn ah. yah.. adik? face up abit. abang, specs take off. you, your face, look there. follow my direction. ok? very nice. eh, adik, your red bow, senget. ahhh. ok. ok? smile! one two, GIGGLE!!.”
yes, i am not kidding.
changed back to our clothes and headed to Mutiara Hotel for dinner with the aunty.
chinese restaurant, we had smoked duck (my personal favourite), szechuan chicken, brocolli and scallops, steamed garoupa, claypot beancurd, otas prawns, venison meat with spring onion and garlic (personal favourite number 2. dear meat very difficult to find nice one.), chinese salted fried rice and mango pudding to end off…
ahhh…. im bloated and in much need of rest. i shall go to bed.
