East Coast Park



Just last sunday, the NTU peeps went to East Coast Park! the four beach guys and gals went kayaking real early in the afternoon and stopped kayaking when i reached...hahaha...you know why? its not bcos my mian zhi hen da, cos when i reached, the skies threatened to kick up a storm, sea waves splashed onto the walking pavements and my hair was in a horrible mess bcos of the strong winds blowing from the direction of the sea...hurr...

I didn't know ECP was tt big, (mt & cecil walked for half an hour from mac to seafood centre)and i swear i nv went any further other than Long Beach Restaurant b4...when Mei Ting told me they were @ the Seafood centre, i was kinda hesistant...but i was sure i will not lose my way cos my sense of direction ain't tt bad...i walked past the chalet, walked past the area where the restaurants congregate and walked past the park and the cable ski park! woah~i didn't even noe ECP got cable ski park wor..okie..i'm Sua Gu..and i finally reached the seafood centre after that! hahaha...with hair flying everywhere of cos...

cecil, mei ting and i wanted to go cycling initially...but due to the bad weather, we decided to seek shelter under the shades of the Seafood centre, and we decided since we were there, we should sit down and try out the food...We actually had a feast! Satay, coconut juice, drum stick , hum {which was all bloodly initially..and i just found out tt i dun like hum, esp half boiled ones, got the raw taste..} and the fabulous STINGRAY...it was a feast indeed...we ate to our hearts' content..hahaha...and it was cheap! so if u wan to pig out, u can always go to the seafood centre @ ECP!!



After dinner, we decided that our feets were really tired and tt the driver who drove to ecp, should walk back and get the car and fetch us to the nearest mrt station...haha...of cos he didn't went back to get the car alone...he had some company...hahahha...

the rest of us went to sit @ the stone tables tt were situated in front of the sea @ the beach...and enjoyed the breeze...to say the truth, the breeze wasn't a breeze...it was actually really chilling...it was tt cold, tt the gals took out their jackets and put them on, hoods and all...hahaha...and we sat there...played...truth or truth...not the traditional truth or dare..hahaha..talked until i was kinda sad to be reminded of sad stuff...but it was fun cam whoring...haha...kept trying to take nice pictures with mei ting..while trying to hide my double chin...haiz...i will work hard @ exercising more...

the chat ended 45mins later...man...ECP is really huge...45mins was the time QX and company took to walk back to the car and drive back to Seafood centre's carpark...aiyo...we sat there @ the stone bench until damn cold and butt pain lah...but, mus thank QX lah...for being such a nice guy...ahhaha...(actually we all know you got ulterior motive one..heh heh)


It was definitely a enjoyable day...hope we can go back to ECP some other day and cycle...going to ECP really brings back alot of memories...i recalled going to the japanese restaurant (next to long beach restaurant) with SS last time and had such a feast and we cldn't finish all the delicious food and i drank choya..and got real red...oso, last yr's V camp @ ecp Costa Sands Chalet..befriending and talking to a very stiff SS after a very long period of ignoring each other...and of cos the recent FOC camp @ de Costa sands chalet...though things aren't the same btwn us anymore, but those happy memories will always stay with me...thanks for everything

Last sat was pretty exciting.
The trainees went to JJC to have their annual Sports Meet.
They played losta of games, but i was late as usual, left chen sze in the caring hands of the new freshie teachers...damn, since when did i become a senior?

I got 1 old freshie who bcame the volunteer officer for this year, and 3 new freshies who are under my wing...hmmm, i shall seriously make some effort to be punctual for sessions and be more willing to go down for sessions...cos i'll be stuck @ home, happily downloading songs and anime on sat afternoons...crazy right?

Thanks to Jia Hong, i got a ride from him all the way down to JJC, must thanks SS and ZH who pulled the strings to hitch the ride for me...i nearly cldn't make it for the sports meet and the ID FOC...and i was glad tt i came down tt day. Cos, i enjoyed myself thoroughly during the FOC game..and my group won the game! yeah!
It was a simplified version of "Shi Zhi Lu Kou" whereby we were givens clues to the places we had to go to and den answer questions set by the programmers and buy any food from that shop and move on to the next destination..

The aim was to reach the chalet in the shortest time possible and spend the least amt of $..we clashed into another grp on the way back to the chalet and took the same MRT train and the same bus loh! i think we didn't hurry tt much as the other group...they ran from the underpass all the way to the entrance of east coast chalet..we gave up when they overtook us @ the underpass..hahahaha...but we still won, cos we spent the least amount of $$..

I went and stayed on for the volunteer sharing session @ east coast chalet till 2.30am only bcos the main comm pple offered to send me back home...touched~ didn't noe my presence really matters even though we have lotsa freshies this time round...watched one movie while waiting for the rest of the groups to reach their final destination...

Thanks to SS who sent me back home too, even though it was out of the way!
Glad to make new friends with the freshies..hmm, think going down to ID sessions will become more interesting than b4

K - Only Human

This guy is a fantastic singer, he pours his entire soul into his songs and his pitching is superb...OMG, i was shocked to hear/see him sing live...he's amazing, i was so touched when he sang...Came across this song when i was watching j-drama, One Litres of Tears...ITs a must watch, one of the most touching j-drama i have ever come across...i literally cried buckets watching it...

ANIMAL FARM!
Last saturday was the DAY to visit the animal farm! i didn't even know that there's an animal farm located deep within the ulu ulu parts of yio chu kang, until i went there to get an eye opener... I went with RSPID peeps and trainees to see animals @ the farm... Well, it didn't look like a farm which i envisioned it to be like those nice, old fashioned farms you see in england or on picture books...it was hmmm...pretty old...kinda run-down...got animal feces stench all over the place...reminded me tt i stepped on cat feces on the way to work recently...yucks!


Okie, tt animal you just saw, is known as the GEESE..repeat after me...Geez..anyways, i was kinda surprised when the guide told us tt geeses were used in kampong areas to guard their compounds...why? geeses actually chase strangers away (like humans, animals, except those ferocious animals like python etc) and they "bark" real loud and inform the guards about intruders...the guide went on to say tt the indonesian govt uses geeses to patrol or guard their prisons...cos geeses are real sensitive to slight movements like tip toeing..and are able to sound the alarm of an intruder or escapee asap...more efficient than humans patrolling huh..


The Dark Swan and the turtle


Reptile species, iguana, needs to bask in the sunlight daily for at least 6 hours...why? cos it wants a brown tan...duhs...no lah...it actually needs the sunlight's heat to help digest and breakdown the food...

this iguana quite poor thing, caged in a tiny shelter, have to make do with an artifical lamp as a substitue for the sun...tsk tsk...life as a caged reptile..sure aint tt cool







How cool is this? BABIES!! the mama rabbit just gave birth to a litter of babies...all pink and probably blind, cos their eyes haven't open up yet..and they were wringgling over all the floor..ahhaha...the guide was telling us, not to touch the babies, cos the mama rabbit will eat it up, if it picks up a different scent tt doesn't belong to her babies..



cosy and fast aslp

i suddenly think tt rabbits are damn cute, but i heard they are quite prone to illness and all sorts of diseases...i shall only admire their cuteness from afar den





Everybody crowded around the area where the goats, ponies and birds were kept...cos they wanted to feed them with the animal feed..my trainee got the goat feed, and we were trying to get her to be brave, put the feed on her hand, and feed the goat...but she was damn scared...i had to demo many times, tt the goat was trying to lick the food off my palm, and not bite my palm...well, i guess, goats and ponies aint chen sze's type of animals...she likes cat...i like dogs...haha...

anyway, flies were swarming around the goats, ponies...and one of the kids commented..."eee, you see, the flies are flying around their bird bird" following tt comment, i looked and true enuff...it was an unpleasant sight for me...esp for an girl who lives in a urban city..





cldn't get a good pic of the pony, cos pple around me were mad about feeding the ponies and i was blocked most of the time...Think the ponies have really nice, soft and large eyes...coupled with long eye lashes...really pretty..but the goats' eyes weren't tt nice, in fact, it look like the vampire type of eyes, instead of having a round eye black, they have a vertical nut shaped eye black, surrounded by lotsa eye white...weird











This white parrot here, was really a show-off...it was parading up and down the cage, when pple began to crowd around it...and it was bending its head up and down, left and right..and trying flapping its wings..and letting pple take pictures of its "fantastic poses"...haha...but, somehow, it jus wldn't cooperate by repeating the words tt we spoke to it...the most, i got, was a mimic of the whistle i made...

It was definitely interesting to see lotsa animals...i saw cute little doggies...regretting not taking pictures, cos there was this little doggie, getting it fur trimmed, and it was shivering...you can actually see the dog, trembling while the lady was trimming its fur...and it was so kawaii...but frightened...Had a eventful day and Here's yours truly...signing off! ja ne~

After reading Kazuo Ishiguro's book titled "A pale view of hills", a strange sort of melancholy overcame me..probably the characters within the story and i shared a common ground..experiencing unfulfilling and frustrating r/s, just tt one of them married a man who didn't love her enuff, though he worked hard for the family, was a dutiful husband and father, in his own terms, the r/s was still one filled with unspoken unhappiness. Despite this, the main character bore a child for the man, hoping tt somehow, the birth of the child will cause the man to love her more. In the end, the lady divorced with the man, fell in love with a foreigner, brought her child over and started a new family away from her motherland.

I can relate to the character to a certain extent, and i can heave a sigh of relief, cos there're probably many other pple out there who are enduring a bigger doseage of unloving and unsatisfying r/s than me. Cos they married the pple who don't love them or pple who don't bother to be the best lover tt they can be.

I should probably stop reading books like this, but it seems that my current lifestyle is so meaningless (apart from watching anime and going out) tt i decided i have to do some readings and perphaps continue learning the Japanese language to stimulate my mind & exercise. I hate to admit this, but my metabolism rate isn't as high as it used to be.

Just overnight, a huge chunk of my life came apart, and i'm coping with all the changes and the emotional ripples of the aftermath. From frustration to disappointments to giving up hope to grief & resignation, i have learnt tt some things just aren't worth tt much of my time and effort.

I'm not tt sad anymore, but nonetheless affected by the unintentional hurts. While taking things in my stride, i've been sorting my emotions and discover tt i kinda resent you or have a growing hatred towards you..which i'm trying to curb by telling myself tt i must release you from all the hurts tt you've done to me. After all, hatred ensnares the heart & contaminates it by holding onto unreleased grudges against a particular person. If forgiving you means releasing myself from anger n hatred, den i'm gonna do it.

No amount of sorries and "i didn't mean to hurt u", can erase ur sense of guilt (probably not)..which probably resulted in today's conversation over msn. I dun appreciate your acts of concern cos even if u're truly sincere about knowing my welfare, i'm biased against you to begin with, and will think otherwise abt ur agenda..The last thing i ever want from you is sympathy. It would be best tt u dun contact me in the months to come. Goodbye and take care

Well everybody, take a break from the sob sob stuff of my life...and here are some happy pics!!

Here we are (the ntu gang) @ sentosa celebrating cecil's 22nd bdae!! I actually wanted to get a tan, but somehow, i was kinda busy eating, talking and playing xo daidi with the guys under the cooling shade of the coconut trees, and i missed out on the "TAN"! heh, had some fun playing frisbee and playing catch with cecil and meiting's nephew and bro @ the beach...haha...

We actually went to play the Sentosa Luge (haf no idea how to pronounce this word)and we got to sit the skyride, which brought us to the other side of the route..Basically wut we did was, ran to the skyride swing, hopped onto the sit with our butts positioned @ the right places and we had a bird eye's view of sentosa..
When we reached our destination, we grabbed a helmet, queued for a luge cart..
It was damn interesting, its like playing a racing game except that you're the driver in the seat facing the route, not on the sofa facing the TV...


Er Mei Pai

Skyride~high Up There In The Sky

The Hiao Guys..on Skyride
TheSentosaLuge

Luge ride was damn fun, xiao pang and i took off first and it was hell of a ride...the luge cart was easy to manoeuvre, it was really amazing, cos me and xiao pang were going @ a damn fast speed..hahaha...when we tackled the corners, i nearly ran out of the track, but luckily, i steered off to safety ground @ the last moment..quite an experience, but it was expensive lah...$8...but it was fun! good things ain't free and they dun last long...


Funny Poses



Standing on the creaky, wobby end of the bridge

The evening views of the beach and the lagoon






We saw this fabulous sand turtle...it was simply amazing...cos if making sand castle was tough, this humongous sand turtle must have took the person hours upon hours to get it done...hee


< the right decision >

Someone once said this,

the right decision may not always be easy to make,
no matter how confused or emotionally tangled u're on the inside,
you still gotta face reality and put your act together.
Sometimes, the longer you drag to make a decision,
the more confused you become, and in the end, you may choose
to be ignorant about ur current situation, to ignore all the
alarm bells tt's been ringing in your mind..
@ the end of the day, you realise, you dunno what you want.
you meander in between the shoulda, woulda, coulda and what ifs,
and you get lost inside, trying to find another alternate solution
to the problem, when you oredi noe the only solution to it.
Sometimes, you can't always listen to what your heart says..
cos if you do, you will find urself getting hurt..
much more than you have ever expected



the right decision dun always seem to be the easiest thing to do,
cos of our confused emotions.
But once you set your mind, heart and soul into it,
put ur act together,
how you feel and think, will somehow straighten out
and align themselves with your decision.
when you look back, you will be thankful
cos life is so much better now than compared to the past.
