Here's our route!
Blessed w a good weather today! haha.. We met at ard 815 had our breakfast at Seah Imm, before we set off our Nature Trail.

Kerry's camera died halfway, haha and I was thinking, " tt was e worst thing tt cld happen to a trip like this." haha but oh well.. there's always another 1! =D I'll want to revisit it again, on a weekday, where its quiet and nice, and pictures without heads popping out jus lidddat. haha n i was busy deleting pics, to make space for more. Well.. let's me just show u the pics i've taken.

Let the Nature Guides- Kerry & Serene take you through the Ridges Trek.

And our journey to the woods started off w/ an urban touch..
It's gonna be beautiful at night, with the diff coloured lights changing, painting a palette. Can you see people waving to us?


And then, we found Clues to a recent Murder of a durian thief.



Hilltop Walk, the ridge's kinda shaky at times, when there are masses of people walking pass, and when u peer down, we're high above e ground!



haha.. this is the part where we saw some1. Kerry was like staring up, " What are u looking at?" " oh. wait i think i saw shawn." "shawn?!!" (n i looked up its really him,we walked away) haha. and then we did our sums, the total ppl of singapore, say 10% likes nature, the chance tt we'll see him is even slimmer than striking a lottery. haha~! Hmm..let me intro him abit. he's our PW grp mate in JC, and most of our values are in conflict with him, tt's y we dont really click.

Henderson Waves
A very artistic work!



Now to the part of the walk tt i enjoyed the most! haha it has nice picture taking spots! =D

Faber Walk


Look out for the next collage..haha. *inspired by "the cable car is very tempting."(Ms Kerry's words)



The Ending part..

Had really fun time taking snapshots, trailing butterflies just to have the moment where they settled down on a leaf on camera! haha.. well.. i'm lucky. We've discovered parts where don't look Singapore. Both of us were like looking for our own photo spots we were like really apart from each other at sme points.
We saw Adidas leaves. And hairy white stuffs growing on e leaves, tt makes u feel "yucks" haha. Spot the butterfly, maybe i shld post an not reduced 1 for clarity. Its nice!





Did you see my magician in e sky ? haha! i waited long for the right moment.

and Home sweet home..



i broke my little toe nail yest, and i lost 1 ml of blood.it is halved in height now. haha. somehw it was okays for the entire walk, until the walk back home, i was limping. The iodine is nt working!!

i got news tt some1 bought a 12 mp camera hur~! haha! bring nxt wk! we're planning to go treetop! =D

This is what i bought for myself @ Ikea. It just happy so tt they are green! The chair cos i like the color, the scent cos i love e smell, aft smelling 5 diff types. haha.. I was thr to get some ideas for my imaginary home. Quite a fruitful trip! =D Saw some interesting stuffs + some nice gift ideas. But well.. if u r thinking of getting a gift for some1 and if u want to get it from ikea, i gt sme gd ideas.

For eg, say if its for ur lover, u can get this + attach a card tt says, " My lighthouse, a passionate flame burning." (i got more if u need it. haha)



Or if its for ur admirer, perhaps, " tt's my life without you." haha.. actually i wasn't really shopping for a gift, but i like to come out w nice gift ideas. =D If only thr's a role tt helps complement words w/ gifts, it'd be an interesting one for me. I was kinda attracted to this painting, i felt v comfortable looking at it. (sme actually find me very sad and lonely person). But somehow, I'm just drawn to it.

I pretty like this too! It is effective! I looked thrgh e hole. haha=)

i'm going for the Nature walk tmr! =) I hope my cam batt last me long enough for the beautiful pics. It runs out quick. zzz..

hi! I'm here to blog! I decided to give myself a break today to update my blog.

The ecp trip. My very nice swim bag and a volleyball. The bicycle bells. My lifesaving course.

Firstly, the day when we scheduled our ECP trip wasn't the perfect kind of weather for a day's out in the morning. It rained. But.. it stopped, just in time when we met up. So the day at the park was windy, the amount and intensity of the sun just right for an enjoyable noon. We had q some jumping sessions, highlight of the day!
The bikes we rented were cheaper than the rest since tony's fren works thr. We stopped halfway for icecream. The aunty is really nice to provide water for washing our hands. Our flavours: 1. honeydew 2. mango 3.nata de coco 4. peppermint w/ choco chips(mine) =) People skiing. i'm just going to try it 1 day. haha! And i saw 1 tt did stunts, but when the camera was put on standby for a close-up shot, he stopped doing it again. haha(oh man..)


Here's eve and tony juMping seies.

trying for the very 1st time

the 2nd try..

somehow it becomes kallang wave.

Jumping perfected!

decided to have a pic of 4!

in a line.

at the rocks. great dreams. new discovery. hand-in-hand.

And our wonderful meal at the food place. Kerry and I went ordering from the various stalls. and lazy eve stayed to look aft our stuffs. haha.. the food arrived before we finished queuing for the oyster egg. I actually wanted to call u to start eating eve, but both me n kerry dont have our phones w/ us. So.. haha i knew u had a ' good' time staring at the food esp when u're hungry rite? haha we're not evil. We're stalling time for u to appreciate the food more. I don't really like pavilion seats, i find them stuffy. haha. i like the open. I felt flies or mosquitoes flying ard my legs. (donno whether its real mos or imaginary though). Oh. And i went to the toilet. And when i was already inside queuing, an aunty w a roll of toilet paper came, " ni ge yi mao qian le mei you (have u paid the 10c)" haha well.. actually i didn't, but i need the toilet badly, and i was the next 1 in queue, and i dont have any money with me. So i said, 'ge le'. And she gave me 2 pieces of toilet paper. lol~ i brought my own tissue though and i didnt mess up the toilet.(maybe tt just makes her lost a 5c) But thr really isn't any one or any sign tt says PAY 10c.

Food guide says,"Today.. I'm going to introduce you to the food paradise in ECP."

Thanks for the long walk to the bustop! i went Parkway for another rd of dinner. haha. It was kind of Evon to drive kerry and eve home. =) + i really like the le coq bag(i use it as my swimbag) and the colors! iTs Aqua blue, red and white! Thanks gals!~
I'm vanishing!

Okays time to tell u abt my lifesaving.(Thr's supposedly 2 more ladies in e class but i was the only 1 thr.) A all guys class isn't really a prob for me. haha well personally, i feel if u have the correct mentality, tt isnt really a prob.(i said tt to my parents. haha.) My instructor is a 20 yr-old like i am. And he's really mature beyond his years, the way he teaches. Haha.. he really impressed me as a 20 yr-old. For the first session, learnt the diff mthds of rescuing, and i particularly like doing the straddle jump ( a way which ur head wont dip under the water when u jump in the water) First a ultra man pose, jump and spread out ur arms. haha~ Hmm. the rope rescue is nice too. The first time i tried, the rope didn't reach him, and i had to recoil it again. I guess the victim wld have already be unconscious if tt was a real scenario. Hmm.. I'm currently joining 3 courses at a shot, on top of lifesaving, bm and cpr. ( cldnt imagine myself "kissing" manuqins though.) haha~ And i really have to train for less than a min/lap. I'll aim to pass all 3 before my trip to taiwan. ;)After all these, I'll be a qualified lifeguard. But i want more than tt, a swimming coach requires much more.

i guess tt's all for now. haha. + a secret i've to tell u guys! I've found a new love. haha..













































the pool. =D

因誤會而結合, 因了解而分開。

i think this is very true... i don't understand why many like to take the risk and try.For me, unless i know its definitely a life long 結合. haha but tt is not goin to happen, or rather its a infinitestimally small % of it happening. so let's not waste u or my time. we'll still be leading our lives to the fullest.

The world won't stop spinning for u or me. It just keeps spinning, till the end of time. This is the sad truth. Face it.

Round n round n round we go
Company in Brazil (Suite Vollard) constructed a building in which each floor can rotate 360 degrees. Each building has 11 apartments and each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One rotation takes a full hour, but apartment owner can set rotation speed through apartment control panel. Facades are made of three different types of glass which give wonderful effects when building spins during the sunset. Cost of each apartment is $US 300,000.00.

here's a clip on Suite Vollard.


Printers that spy
Printer manufacturers print invisible yellow dots on consumer's prints that check to see if a person is printing counterfeit money. If you call your printer manufacturer and ask them to "please stop spying on you", they will send secret services to your address to find out why you care about your privacy. Upset? You should be. The more people who call their printer's manufacturers and make this request, the more likely secret services will refuse to investigate.

White is truth of pyramids
The stereotypical vision of the Egyptian Pyramids are large mountain like brown piles of stone uprooting from the desert having a rough contour. Though when first constructed around 2500 BC. The pyramids were paper white and as smooth as glass, toping the pyramid was a golden capstone that gleamed in the desert sun. It was an amazing spectacle. The pyramids somewhat stayed in this state until the Arab invasion of Egypt around AD 500. The Arab invaders stripped the pyramid of it's smooth limestone and built a huge section of Cairo. Many of the Mosques and Palaces of Cairo consist of the Ancient stones of the pyramids.

Number 13
The fear of number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia and it was derived from treiskaideka, the Greek word for thirteen and phobia. There were thirteen people at Christ's Last Supper before his captivity, it is recorder that Christ was crucified on Friday. Routine mission to the moon goes drastically wrong on Apollo 13. Some hotels skip number thirteen when numbering rooms. In Formula 1, there is no car with the number 13.

Vitamin B17 in RAW apricot seeds
Imagine the world without cancer. It has been proven that cancer is a deficiency disease caused by the lack of Vitamin B17 (Laetrile). Today there are more people making money from cancer than dying from it. That is the one of the main reasons why Vitamin B17 is disapproved by FDA and cancer associations. You can do research and find that pharmaceuticals companies pushed FDA to disallow sales of raw apricot seeds in the United States. Raw apricot seeds are known to have abundance of B17 vitamin. There is lots of money to make from patented drugs and if we all start eating raw apricot seeds than there will be no profit. This information is not a new breaking research, but we are trying to spread the truth about Vitamin B17 through the Internet.

i'm going to ecp later. hopefully the rain will stop, the sun will shine and the wet turns dry. haha.

Hello !! i took the day off to do my eCR. haha~ fortunately i got the slots and lecturers that i wanted. And i managed to find days when i can fit 2units into a day. That means i only need to attend sch for 2 days. + i can fix my work schedule for 2wkdays and 1 wkend. That'll be my time table for the next half a yr or so. =) i'm kinda contented with my timetable.

oh yeas. i turned 20 2 days back. Some asked me how did i celebrate my bday.. haha actually it wasn't really as interesting as you thought it might be. yesh~ i woke up at ard 7 and went to work. so.. i spent my bday at NTUC. haha~ and had a little celebration at home with my family, my favourite macha cake + a funny bday song with my brother singing half asleep. =) tt marks my 20th bday. i wasn't really excited about it this year, i just feel like: " its just another year.." perhaps i m getting old. + i think i m really becoming some1 tt likes to be alone with time, "zi bi" or " independent" or whatever u call it. i think i m more productive this way.

Thanks for all the wishes that came in. Special mention to evelyn and jessica! They were the first 2. Both sent a MMS. Eve with a cute tigger pic w/ a written bday song and a soothing sound clip. As for jess, she tried calling me at 1am, i sensed my phone vibrating but i didn't pick up, she then recorded a voice clip for me. i really really appreciate efforts put in to msgs~ bcos ican sense the warmth. haha!

And i have already bought my XPS1530 + a CANON lasershot frm the IT show. i went there on sunday and the crowd was really scary. I didn't actually listen to my brother to upgrade my processor and graphics card at first. n i paid for it there. But i've decided to do so with a top up after receiving advices frm various sources. And it is going to be delivered soon. i think its a good deal w a free upgrade to 4gb ram. Its black, bcos there is no red and blue and pink looks not so nice. haha~ I've set aside a corner on my long study table for my IT corner, ready for more stuffs to be added. Some nice speakers and a cordless mouse wld be good! =)

Alrights. that's all for now~ Have a good day ahead!

2/3 days back, i received a call from this no. I picked up, the person on the line kept silent at first.

Me:" Hello..Who's that?"
BLANGEDESHI:" What's your name?"
Me:" You call me and you ask me what's my name?"
He spoke really bad english.
Me:" Wrong number. Bye!"

(i went home and tell my mum abt this incident. and i thought of sme ans tt wld be fun. For e.g. when he ask what's your name? i will answer:" Ali~baba~" in tamil slang, haha well u noe wad i mean. And my mum said sth tt made me laugh, " maybe he thinks you re a filipino maid."

And he started to send me msgs like.

"sista.Kan i meet you"
"Ackuly me frnd give me numba" (he's trying to say: actually my friend give me your number.)

I was thinking, " SIAO! i dont have a blangedeshi fren." maybe he just punch nos and try his luck and when he finally found 1 tt is in use, which is my no. he got so happy that he found a 'friend'.

just today, he called me again. haha i noe i m being "colour-cist" but the first thought tt comes into my mind, " no construction work going on? afternoon got time to msg/call?"

i seriously can't be bothered. i didn't reply and he kept calling me. of cos i didn't pick up. butbut i actually thought of playing a prank on him. Things like asking a guy to dress like a lady and meet him. n i shall video rec down the whole incident. haha~ any volunteer for my great plan? haha.. but i think it can be kinda dangerous, just in case he's a heterosexual.

my dad ask me to file a police report, reason being nuisance calls and smses. haha~ but oh well. every call will be a rejected one. every msg will be a deleted one. who cares? he donno who i am and vice versa. i seriously can't be bothered. i've already saved his no. in my address book as " BLACKLISTED BLANGEDESHI". and everytime i see my phone blinking with a long name caller, wo even looking at it, my index finger neared the RED button reflexively. haha, this is not being mean, i'm avoiding uneccesary trouble. and no matter how bored i am, i won't entertain him. like nothing better to do meh? haha

Time really flies working in NTUC.

On the first day, i wore heels. (i was told to dress formal.) and i've got quite some holes on my feet. e dist seems to be longer walking to cathay and to ps with heels. I feel like removing them off during the walk hme frm lakeside. 5 of them. and when they touches the water, its like, the opposite of "shiok" haha!

i've been eating bread from breadtalk from the past 2 days. haha i intend to try 1 bread everyday when i work and finish eating all the different types. the ic sorta buddy me with this guy. and i got a feeling he finds me irritating. haha cos i kept asking him how to do this and tt. ok i m not being slow, its just tt he speaks so softly and so fast, i didn't even have enough time to write down. (i prefer clear & audible instruction and not just fast and he clicking here and there which i donno where moreover, he's a man, can he up volume abit.) i actually said, " can u slow down?" but soon aft, he pick up his speed again. " WHATEVA~" i was thinking and i cldn't really be bothered but the things he said thereafte. haha~ i feel better figuring them out myself and asking the nice malay lady, anna 1 seat away. things are getting better. =D well at least, the things tt i wasn't exactly clear with seems clearer to me now.

haha. but i will be thr for only a month. afterthat, i'll be heading to Harbourfront.

It's the start of PC show tmr~ i shall get my stuff thr i guess. =)

Bye guys! Rmb to spend some time looking at the sky, and u can discover e greater potential of yours~ Gdnites! *say CheeSe!

It's gonna be my first day at NTUC Prinsep house tmr. haha i'm kinda excited now. Was told that I'd be issuing standard policies. Shall update more on my new job soon. =) stay tuned.

n i've got pretty toe nails now, garnished with interesting nailart. i kept my fingernails clear for my new job. haha~ have been neglecting them for sometime during the exam period. But they've been properly compensated now.

Lots of nice dumplings today! =)

Haven been updating for awhile, was kinda busy. Anyways, something interesting to share with all. The very Rare Parrot flowers, exclusive to Thailand, and perhaps you may discover something new about your cell phone. Try and let me know if it does work. =)

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you. There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST

Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is anemergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlock our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power Imagine your cell battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370#.
Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset.Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be to tally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:(800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.

Program this into your cell phone now.

Hmm.. I'm getting a new laptop soon. Bro recommended DELL XPS 1530. haha. i saw him reading the reviews and watching em on Youtube. hope he's reliable enough. =) I'm choosing between an iMAC, a macbook or a DELL. I guess a laptop would be convenient for me.

zzz.. Off to sleep~ Goodnights!
