Was too tired to blog when i came back from Batam on sun nite. Here are the details of the trip...
Day 1
Our ferry leaves at 2:30pm at HabourFront Cruise Center. It takes abt 45 mins - 1 hr to reach Batam. After reaching, we took a coach to Novotel Batam to put down our baggage. Novotel Batam is a nice hotel with nice ambience. We had a mini high tea at the hotel's lounge before checking in to our room. The 3 of us, Eileen, Ling & me shared the same room. After we place our things in the room, we were all ready to set off for the half day city tour. Our first destination was to a temple, it was rather boring cos ther's nothing much to see ther. But we managed to take a group photo with the whole tour group. Later on, our tour guide brought us to a branded clothing shop, but i din bought anything ther cos din saw anything tat i fancy & aso bcos the stuffs ther are quite ex. Other activities fer the rest of the day was a visit to the biggest temple in south east asia, cultural shows, visit to local products shop then follow by seafood dinner. Well.. Din ate much fer dinner cos the food is not to my liking. Rather disappointed with the seafood they serve. After dinner, went back to hotel to hav a rest before gg fer a traditional indo massage. It cost abt 25 sg dollars only & they wil help u massage from head to toe. My whole body felt so refreshed after the 1 1/2 hr of massage. This is the first i tried massaging, felt some pain & tickle at some pt of time. Eileen & I were making lotsa noises during the massage. So after the massage, we went back to the hotel wher we took turns to shower. I did had a gd sleep tat nite cos i usually couldn't get to sleep while i'm overseas.
Day 2
Woke up veri early in the morning to hav our breakfast buffet at the hotel's restaurant. They serve veri nice breakfast.. esp their sausages & bacon. YuMmy!! We had plenty of time before we check out of the hotel. So we went ard the hotel to take photos before gg to shop at their shopping center. YA! We really took lotsa photos during this trip, everywhere we went we were taking photos. Haha.. Went back to the hotel earlier to rest, pack our stuffs & hav a nice shower before checking out of the hotel. Well.. tat's the end of the short holiday trip. Overall, the trip still not bad loh... like the hotel & the massage. *Smilez*
(We took lotsa pics during this trip & this 2 pics are the ones i like most! Cos it has got the 3 of us in ther)

First of all.. i'm writing this fer a second time cos my com got hang while i was writing my blog jus nw & i din save a copy of it. Omg! I was at the finishing part already, today's nt my day. Let's c if i could rmb wat i wrote jus nw, here it goes..
Today's sat!! Woke up veri early today, dun know y aso. Slept fer abt 5 hrs only but felt quite refreshed when i woke up. Mum saw tat i woke up so early & ask me to accompany her to the market to do some grocery shopping. I din went cos i wanna stay at home to pack my stuff fer the Batam trip later in the afternoon. Used to accompany her to he market when i was small. Though the place is dirty & smelly but i like accompanying her to the market & help her carry stuffs. Those were the days..
Ytd met my dear fer dinner at clementi after work. Actually fridays are his off days, but he got to go back camp to do some stuffs ytd. So met him fer dinner at clementi which is near to his workplace. Took bus 166 from my workplace to clementi interchange. It's abt 20 mins bus journey from my workplace to clementi interchange. Quite fast wor! On the way, pass by S'pore poly & kinda miss sch life when we rush to meet datelines fer projects, having boring lectures & skiping lectures.. Sch life is the best! After dinner, went to walk ard clementi before heading home by bus 99.
Today's gg Batam fer a short holiday. Actually, not feeling very excited. Bad images & thoughts kept flashing across my mind ytd nite. Told my dear abt it & he's quite worried. Dun worry dearz! I wil take gd care of myself & come back to sg safely. Dun know y? Ytd nite wasn't feeling gd abt the trip, kept having some bad feelings & thoughts. But today's feeling better already. Haven't finish packing my stuffs yet, got to continue packing my stuff after i finish writing my blog. Spending 2 day & 1 nite ther, so dun hav to bring to much stuff. Meeting ling 12:30pm at chi grd first before heading down to Habourfront to meet the rest of the ppl. Our ferry is at 2pm, so stil got some time to tak photos at Habourfront. This is the first time i'm gg on a holiday with my 2 best pals, eileen din join us on the previous trip to bangkok due to some reasons. I'm starting to feel more and more excited as i write abt stuffs regarding the trip. My *Happy* mood is coming back again. Alright! Shall continue with the details on the Batam trip when i come back on sun. Going off to pack my stuff : )
(As i was writing this blog, i kept reminding myself to save my blog once in a while in case my com hang again.)
~*~
First of all... Short holiday trip to Batam is on again! YEAH!! All thanks to ling's dad fer allowing her to go. Uncle, dun worry! We wil take gd care of ur daughter & bring her back in one whole piece.
As usual, went to work early in the morning. But i wasn't feeling tired when i woke up this morning cos had some beauty sleep the day before & was feeling quite refreshed. Had my breakfast ( honey baked ham sandwich) on my way to work today, couldn't wait til i reach my office then eat. Was feeling v hungry. Ther's quite alot of work to be done today & time passes by veri fast. After i knocked off, met my dear @ jurong east mrt station first before heading to westmall to hav sakae sushi. Although i just ate sushi with my poly classmates on mon, but felt like eating it again. Sometimes, after work i wil buy Edo sushi from jp NTUC & treat it as supper. This week's SuShi WeeK fer me.. hav been eating alot of sushi. I think i wil continue eating sushi fer awhile until i get sick & tired of eating them.. Haha. After dinner, went to shop ard westmall before heading fer home by bus 174.
Went to check on my blog to see if anyone posted any msg on my tagboard. Indeed.. someone left a msg on my tagboard. Some idiot left a msg saying tat my blog is paper fer his/her ass. YA.. I was wondering.. Y bother to read my blog if u think it's paper fer ur ass? Aniway.. my blog is fer my friends to read & i dun think they feel the same way as u do! The world is full of boring ppl who simply got nothing better to do but to write nasty comments on other ppl's blog. *frowns* Dun wanna waste my time writing stuffs abt these ppl. Aniway, i've deleted the msg already.
Last of all.. today is dear's bro (Juin Shyang) enlistment date, wish him all the best fer the few yrs in army. And the same goes to all my poly & sec sch friends. Take care guys!
~*~
Receive a sms from ling in the afternoon saying tat she can't go batam le.. Felt so disappointed after reading her sms. Thought we could definately go fer a short holiday together.. Was still thinking abt gg to extend my passport on thurs afternoon since im taking half day leave to attend my graduation in the evening. I think eileen will b disappointed as well. Haiz.. Shall stop writing abt stuffs regarding the trip le.. Continue on what happened in the evening after my work.
After work, met up with a few of my poly sch friends for dinner @ sakae sushi. Haven't seen them ever since we finish our last paper, which was like abt 2-3 mths. Haiyan's gg back to Shanghai directly after our graduation, dun know when she wil b in sg again.. So organised this gathering 1 last time before our graduation. Jane din turn up due to some meeting in sch.. so in the end ther were only 4 of us, haiyan, huimin, pauli & me. This is my 1st time eating @ sakae & i feel tat i'm beginning to like it more & more. Wanna ask my dear to go & eat with me again. We ordered different kinds of sushi & fried food to share among ourselves. I also ordered my fav Chawanmushi! Had a wonderful time eating sushi & chatting with them abt work & other stuffs. Going to see them again on thurs during our graduation & it's gg to b the last time seeing them as a class again. Let's keep in contact through email & msn..
(Some pics taken & Sakae Sushi)

I wrote till i was gg to linlin's place fer her 21st Bdae on my last blog. So shall continue with the details of her Retro Bdae Party.. Went to jp with ling before gg to linlin's place, bought a pair of pink earrings to match my clothings as well as to go along with the Retro theme. Reach linlin's place at ard 6:30pm.. some ex-jyians were ther already, din get to talk to them until later in the nite. Onli a handful of the ppl were dressed in retro & i think the theme should be lines instead of retro cos i spotted quite a no of ppl wearing clothings with lines on them. It was an enjoyable nite cos this time round we finally managed to take a group foto of the 8 of us after so many yrs. U know? It's really hard to gather everyone together esp when everyone is busy with work. Nevertheless, i glad every sis turn up ytd.
I wanna take this chance & say this to my bunch of gd friends out ther..
All of u are my dearest friends & i really treasure u gals alot... It's really fate that brought us together & let's keep our friendship gg all the way k. I dun know if u gals agreed with me tat, sec sch daes was the most memorable ones. But fer me it definately was! Hopfully we can meet up regularly for dinner or chit chat session. We are friends fer a lifetime!!
So back to writing bout wat happen at linlin's place.. basically we were chatting, taking photos & playing with linlin's niece (en en). En En's so adorable, she likes to b a small cameraman & take photos of us. Had losta fun with her & the photos she took was considered gd fer a 4 yrs old small gal. Although we appeared small in the pics but still managed to c our faces lah.. So after everyone else left.. ling, eileen, yenting & me went up to lin's hse to view the videos she took on her camcorder & her presents as well. The next 21st Bdae coming up is Shuying's.. guess tat's the time when i get to meet all my gd friends again.
(My Goody Friends!!)

Haven't been updating my blog for quite awhile le cos nothing much happen these days. But this weekend & next week gg to be a exciting one.. with lotsa activities line up fer me. Linlin's Bday Party, Meeting up with my poly classmates & My Graduation are some of the activites. Great weekend & week ahead! Met up with ling & eileen @ Bugis yesterday to buy linlin's present. Bought some Pacro Bugis Junction gift vouchers fer her, cos we can't decided upon wat to get fer her. So let her buy the things she like using our vouchers bah. It's like a trend to give out gift vouchers as Bday present these days.. hav been giving out gift vouchers to my sister's on their past bdaes as well. Went to shop ard bugis after we bought linlin's present, but din bought anything fer myself cos nothing caught my eyes & tat i haven't gotten my pay. Thought i was gg to get my pay yesterday but actually is next tues. Cos they needed 5 working daes to process the timesheet. Oh no.. feel so broke!
Heard from eileen ytd tat her hotel's organising a trip to Batam on the 28 & 29 of Aug. I'm soOo intertested in gg fer a short holidae trip with them. Going ther to relax & reward ourselves with spas & massages. Although we are gg with her company staffs, but shouldn't be a problem fer both ling & me cos we are familiar faces at her hotel. Been walking in & out of her hotel fer quite a no of times already, so i guess the staffs there knows us veri well already. $66.00 per pax.. inclusive of Return ferry, One Night accomodation at Novotel Batam, City Tour,Breakfast, Hi-Tea and Seafood Dinner. Wow! It's such a gd bargain. I definately wan to go!! We'll gg to hav great fun ther esp with my 2 best friends ard. Can't wait fer the day to come. *grinz*
Going over to linlin's place tonite cos she's celebrating her 21st Bdae.. Dear's most likely won't b ther cos he's working till rather late tonite. Some of his friends wil b ther as well so hopefully he can knock off early bah. Dunno wat to wear to linlin's place later cos the theme for her Bdae is RETRO.. so we got to b dress in retro clothes. Well.. a veri interesting theme huh. But too bad i dun hav any retro clothings, so i'm gg to wear big colouful earrings to look retro. Lotsa other friends, ex - jyian wil b ther as well.. so i guess her place wil b packed with lotsa ppl. Shall stop here fer nw & continue blogging when i come back from her Bdae Party.

Went to marina bay yesterday with my dear, ling & elvin to watch fireworks. Reached ther at ard 7 plus and the place is already crowded with lotsa ppl already. It's still early for the fireworks to begin, so we went to walk ard the place first. Elvin helped us found a gd spot wher we can sit and watch the fireworks. Tat was really a gd spot man! We sat ther chatting, testing our cameras & awaiting fer the fireworks to begin. The big moment finally arrived.. the skies were filled with many colourful lights and the glitters since to b falling onto us. It was really very beautiful. It's hard to describe hw beautiful the fireworks was here.. u gotta c it fer urself.. hehe. Although the fireworks was jus merely 5 mins but it was GREAT & definately worth watching. I managed to record dw the entire process of the fireworks on my digi cam while watching it live at marina bay! But i guess it's impossible to upload it onto my fotopic.. cos the total file size is 86MB. Futhermore.. it's in video format & i haven't figure out hw to place video onto fotopic.
After the fireworks.. we decided to get out of marina bay & find a place to hav our dinner. Ther were tons of ppl at marina bay after the fireworks, dun know wher all these ppl come from aso. Suddenly ther seems to be alot of ppl coming from nowhere, luckily ther wasn't any pushing. So we headed to Raffles City to hav our dinner @ BK. The queue at BK was veri long, we waited fer quite a while before we could really sit dw fer our dinner. After dinner.. we headed hm in different directions. Me & dear to the west while ling, elvin & evan to the North. Overall.. a Happy & Enjoyable day fer me!!

It's a sunny sat! Woke up at 10+ this morning.. feel so refresh! Haven't slept fer such long hrs already. Kind of addicted to blogspot ever since i started blogging few days ago. Actually wanted to start a blog long time ago, since my bro has one too. But was too lazy to blog then.. Now that my best friend (ling) has one, got influence by her and started blogging as well.
Mum cook prawn noodles fer lunch today. I luv to eat the prawn noodles she cooks.. it's sooo delicious. Can easily eat up 1 big bowl of noodles & crave fer more later on. Been eating alot ever since i started working. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea break & dinner is a mus fer me. Used to hav oni 1 or 2 meals a day.. but not nw anymore. Hope to gain some weight.. but hor seems like haven't put on much weight leh. hehe..
Chat with my biao mei on msn jus nw.. haven't chat with her fer quite some time le. Miss her so much man! Was glad to hear tat everythings fine fer her over at sydney. Hoping fer her to cum back to sg during her term break. Aunt asking me to visit them at australia, although i can save $$ on lodging. But still got to pay fer the air tickets.. dun hav so much $$ to go travelling nw. But nevertheless, my biao mei is definately gg to be my personal tour guide & bring me round australia if i were to visit them.

Today left home fer work @ ard 6:35am, knew i was gg to be late for bus 179 if i dun hurry up. And true enough.. when i reach the bus stop there wasn't a single soul ard & i knew the bus jus went away. Waited fer more than 15mins fer another bus 179, knew tat i will definately be late fer work. Cos work starts @ 8am & i need ard 1 1/2 hrs of travelling time. But surprisingly.. i wasn't late fer work, reach my office jus on time. Today's a rather boring day @ work cos not much things fer me to do & futhermore my GM went overseas so everyone in the office starts to slack. After work took bus 97 to jurong east JTC Summit to sumbit my timesheet, haven't sumbitted my time sheet ever since i've started working at Toshiba. Going to get my first pay next fri. Yeah!! Got to managed my $ well, if not all my hard-earned $ wil be gone veri soon. I've told myself tat i mus set aside some $ each month as part of my savings. Cos dear feels tat he's the onli one saving up fer the future while i'm the one spending $ and not saving. haha. . Cant blame me mah.. i really love to buy shoes, bags & watever i set my eyes on. I also wan to giv mum & dad some $, since this is my first job after my studies in poly. And hopefully i will continue giving them $ when i get my pay every month. So in the end.. i guess i've left with not much $$ already. Got to cut down on shopping le.
Yeah! Tml can sleep till late late then wake up, dun need to be awake by tat alarm clock. I usually go back office on sat to work OT.. but wanna enjoy my long weekend so decided to stay at hm tml. Looking forward to watching fireworks on sun. Hopefully everything turns out well.

Dear took leave to go to Downtown East Chalet with his bro & friends today. Enjoying himself huh! It's a complimentary 2 Day 1 Night stay at Downtown East Chalet & the available dates are only on weekdays from mon to thurs. So no choice he got to take leave today, if not the resort stay will be wasted. So sad! I cant go cos i've got work to do & i dun wanna take unnecessary leave cos i just started working for 1 mth only. Futhermore.. gg to take leave on the 19 August to attend my graduation. So it's not wise to take so many leave. Aniway.. there will be plenty of chances to go holiday with dear. Mayb at the end of the year when he claims his annual leave then we can go fer a long long holiday. Yeah!! Looking forward to gg holiday with him. The last time we went fer a cruise holidae was like ermm... 3 years ago! Wow.. tat was a long time ago. Tat time went fer holidae was by ship, hopefully this time round is by plane.. haha.
Today's a busy day @ work.. keep rushing to finish my work. Got to finish doing my stuff before 3pm. Luckily i managed to complete my work before 3pm. After work, went jp to buy some bread for tml's breakfast. Guess wat?? I saw someone @ jp. Wanna keep his identity a secret, in case he happens to read my blog. Hehe.. Rather surprised to see him ther, cos it's been years since i last saw him. But aniway, was quite happy that i met him =)
Yeah!! Weekend is approaching. Looking forward to this sunday, cos dear promised to bring me to marina bay to watch fireworks. Hopefully ling & eileen & their dears will be gg too. The more the merrier mah. Hope dear won't break his promise. Dear told me yesterday tat he will be veri bz this whole month. Cos he got alot of courses to take. Tat means to say.. no more shopping fer me on fridays & weekends le. So bored! Dun wanna think abt wat to do on every sats & sun nw.. jus wanna enjoy the long weekend tat is ahead.

Today's my first day here! Feel kinda lost here.. hehe. Today's quite a happy day for me, cos dear gave me a surprise by buying one of the bracelet i like from perlini. Love him sooOo much. Although the bracelet is too big for my hand, but i still like it alot. Thank you dear dear!
