hong kong trip 15th to 20th

wow.. i TWO months nv post blog liao leh.. anyway.. since i am on MC today, i shall do some work and start posting some blogs...

This Hong Kong trip was the first that I have been where I do not have any buses to bring me around, I have to pay for my own food and I have to think of where and how to get to a certain place. But still, I quite like the trip, despite some unhappiness here and there. Anyway, let’s jus let the photos do the talking…

Day 1
Daddy sent me and willie to the airport in the wee hours of the morning. Den my cute ah ma wants to come along too. I think she bu fang xin her dear granddaughter fly off on her own. Anyway, looking at the photo, I realized that I actually bear resemblance to my Ah Ma leh. Right?

Yeah! Finally at Hong Kong airport. My first meal in HK is not dim sum or anything near. It’s the ramen at Ajisen. I heard that they have different things from SG and it tastes better than the ones in SG. I tot the ramen was really quite nice and I think I should check out the ones in SG. My plane mate, Willie. We were supposed to fly to HK to meet Guan Hua and Huimin and the best part is that we have never met each other prior to this. =p

The hotel which we stayed at. Very small but still.. it is wonderful. I will recommend anyone to stay there. They have free internet access within the room and outside the room. And the place is not too small and very clean. The best thing is that the place is very accessible. Wonderful!

The first local delicacy which I tried in HK was 许留山. And I tell you… I am totally in LOVE with it!! OMG… I wish I could just bring it back to SG… the mango is so thick and nice… omg…yummy… simply heavenly… While we were at central, I decided to try my hands at some artistic photos. I love this. Although I think it can be improved. Can u feel the clouds moving? The sky is always blue in hk and the clouds are always so huge and fluffy.This was the roof of Times Square which I tot was very nice. While trying to capture the roof, I got this very nice photo of huimin. But she insists that its is not nice…For dinner, we went to try 唐朝. I think we had 鲜虾云吞面 which was only so-so. But the 杏仁paste was very nice… Yummy……… At night, we did a night market marathon. We started walking from Prince Edward’s MTR with Fa Yuen Street and ended up at Jordan MTR with Temple Street which was just to our hotel. The best part? We only took like 1hr to walk through.

Day 2 We went Ocean Park today! Wow… so nice.. I felt like I was a child all over again. The rides were quite fun. I had a virgin ride on a roller coaster that turns 360° turn. I oso went on the free-fall drop. Wow… tt was shiok… but it was so high up that I dun dare to look down.

Our first stop was to visit panda bears. So cuttteeeeeeee……And their souvenir shop has this very cute panda bag. Well… since I cannot foresee myself carrying such a cute bag, I shall take a photo as a souvenir.We also went on the cable car which was built along the mountains and right beside the sea.

Look at all the other cable cars! And the drop below… We got magnificent view of the sea on the cable car…so pretty… At night we went up the peak. Very wonderful view! But my night vision still not too good so I cannot really see very well.We also went to the wax museum. Here's huimin and me or rather only me, trying to act like a star.. wahah...Here’s me as the acting president. Whahaa…And this is my fav photo. I think I merge really well into the painting. Dun you think so? Well, realized no photo of food? Coz today’s meal was boring… morn was hotel breakfast. Lunch was mac at ocean park. This was slightly interesting though, coz I get to eat sausage mcmuffin in the afternoon. Dinner was burger king up at the peak, since we cannot find a decent eating place.

Day 3
Today’s a nice and peaceful day coz we went to Lantau island to visit the big bronze Buddha. *ew.. i look so fat....* The view up there was so super wonderful! And it was so windy!

Since we were there, we decided to try out the vegetarian meal at the temple. Surprisingly, the food was quite nice… look at the spread! To make our trip more interesting, we went in search of wisdom along the wisdom path. No regrets, although it was a long walk. It was very very very comfortable and cooling. So much so that I dun want to get down.

Can you see the wonderful view behind me?Oh, and I love this group photo. One of the very few that we took. Look at how insignificant we are posed next to the gigantic wooden sticks onto which the words of wisdom were engraved upon. Dinner was back at Citygates and we had fastfood again. This time it was KFC. Well, at least this meal was interesting as their KFC sell different things from ours. They have a greater variety of food apart from chicken. But I think the chicken in Singapore still nicer.And it was the start of a series of shopping. Wahaa...

We shopped at citygates and while we were going back, we did more shopping IN the mtr station. Wow.. if I was living in hong kong hor, I think my salary forever not enough for me and I will nv reach home. Oh… and we spotted this very pretty hello kitty cabin on display in the MTR. If only a real train was so pretty. Wahah…Total damage done:
1 jacket, 3 tops, 1 bag, 1 piggie cushion for my seat in office and 1 packet of sweets.

Day 4
Today is a feasting day.

We slept till 12 noon! Whaha… and we went out to have dim sum and roasted pigeon. Hmm… dim sum okay lah. The fried stuff quite good, but the rest only so so. And the pigeon very salty leh. But I love the porridge! Very nice…

See.. its so small...... Tsk tsk.. pigeon oso want to eat spring roll...
Den we went to kum tong to visit a factory outlet. Majority of the shops were not around already but I managed to buy a nice superman t-shirt.

After that, we went tsim sha tsui to shop around. Well, all the super high-end shops lah, nothing for me to see oso.

At night we went to see the symphony of night. Haha.. actually quite boring leh.. coz no fireworks. And quite confusing oso… trying to follow the lights.

But the view was very nice...

And there was a lee xiao long statue right in the middle of the avenue of stars. ah ta!!It was a super tiring day so not much photos taken. But we made an attempt to take a group photo while the four of us were squeezed on the same stretch of bench and trying to catch our reflection in the mtr. Our dinner cum supper. Well, coz we dun have time to have a proper meal lah. Only had a sandwich. This bowl of wanton noodles is pretty nice and its only S$2 wor. Yummy…
But the place is actually quite small.. very typical of the hong kong eateries we see on tv.. Day 5
For breakfast, we finally broke away from the hotel and went to try café de coral. Not bad leh… too bad we dun have time to try it again, other than a super rushed dinner at the airport.

We went macau today! We were all so broke (at least me and huimin) that we decided to buy the tickets online.. hwahaha...
And the others were so tired that they slept for the entire journey. Leaving me alone to take photos and to watch tv.
The ferry terminal was super duper packed lah. Wah lau.. the immigration at macau felt like a fish market. I wanted to take photo but was told that immigration cannot take photos. Too bad loh...

But anyway, it was a nice shopping cum eating trip. Although it was a very hot day..

Our first stop was to go shopping for almond cookies, rolls and peanut sweets. But apparently, even though i have already bought a lot, there was still not enough to go around leh. But they are very nice...... and the egg tarts were wonderful.. omg...

After that we made our way to St Paul's church. This was a way we had to pass by on our way to the church. I dunno its name but I just thought it looks very nice. see the clouds? so pretty...
St Paul's church. Or rather, the remains of the church. We managed to squeeze in time to take photo while we were waiting for a cab to go for our lunch. End up, we had to walk out to the main street to take a cab. 2 handsome and 4 pretties all in shades. haha.. only goes to show how sunny the day was...
This was the very very nice crab porridge which we had for lunch. For after lunch "dessert", we also went to try their renowned pork cutlet bun. Hmm… the pork too salty but the bun was pretty nice. wow.. tis looks really good in the photo right?

The last part of the trip was a visit to the casino. I tried my hands on jackpot and managed to won a little bit of money. And we shared money to bet on Big Small. We lost the first round but got back our capital on the second round. Den me n huimin backed out. whaha... we are very broke lah.. 50 is very precious to us leh...

We made our way back to hotel to put down all our biscuits before we went to try a seafood restaurant near our hotel. Hmm.. other the fish which was super super nice, the rest of the food was only so-so.

The highlight came when we went night market shopping. OMG.. Fa Yuen street is super nice to shop. We stopped at ladies’ street coz huimin cannot find her toilet den we have to go back to hotel. Den we continued at Temple street.

We really bought a lot of things and the guys were really nice enough to help us carry out stuff. They were helping me with my biscuits while we were in Macau (they were very heavy leh) and they still have to help me with my shopping.

Lesson learnt: always go shopping with guys around. Whahaa…

Total damage done:
8 tops, 1 skirt, 2 pairs of shoes, 4 t-shirts (presents for ppl), 3 bracelets and 1 necklace.

Day 6
We are going home today! We should be, since huimin and I are running super low on cash.

Breakfast was hotel breakfast since we were super broke. Wahhaa…

After which, we went to visit Wong Tai Sin Temple, a very big temple in HK.
After temple sight-seeing, we made our way to central in search of a very big LV.

For lunch, we went to eat roasted goose. The century egg very nice...The roasted goose was not too bad. the skin is very crispy but i still prefer duck though...
And on our way to the restaurant, we passed by Nine West which was having sale. As usual, huimin and I cannot resist walking in. End up, we each bought a bag from the same series but different designs. Very cheap leh, on 60% off loh. Wahaha.. so happy.

After lunch, we went to Mong Kok to buy 恒香 wife biscuits which was supposed to be very famous. Its really quite nice leh. I dun usually eat wife biscuits but this one is very very nice.

Since we still have time to spare, we went to try my 许留山 for the last time. As huimin and I needed the toilet, we went in search for it. At the same time, we went shopping and I was tempted to spend my last bit of money on clothes… whaah…

Sigh… after eating, it was time to go back to the hotel to pick up our stuff and to go home…

Shopping haven end yet. Haha.. it continued at the airport where I bought crispy kreme and some small stuff from the Disney store for my students and my cousins. No money to buy key chains for myself so I am going to ask my sister to buy for me when she is back in hong kong…

Time to go home!!
After a 4 hours flight, I am finally home!!

Total damage done from the trip…

Tonnes of food which I painstakingly hand carried up the plane.

Lotsa clothes, bags and shoes.

All these were bought at Fa Yuen Street. OF which 5 tops were bought at the same shop.
More tops accumlated from days of shopping. haha.. The t-shirts at the bottom were presents for ppl. They are very nice and damn cheap...My nice white nine west bag and my esprit bag. I oso bought a very nice esprit jacket...
My cute piggie!! And doremon sweets!Small trinkets for myself and a name card holder which i bought for hz at Lantau.And last but not least, stuff for others from the Disney store. The lollipops taste horrible although they are very cute. A bit waste money... but i thought the pens were very cute. I enjoyed this hong kong trip, esp the shopping! Wow… I am pretty sure that I will be back in hong kong next june or july for another shopping spree. Hong Kong, wait for me!!

Last day at lab

After mia-ing for so long... I have so much things to update.. haha... Let's start from the oldest event.

26th June 2007 marks my last day of in Dr Liang's lab. After having been there for half a year, from following Rao Feng around in Dec, to doing my own stuff, to free labour after FYP was over, I kind of miss the place when it was finally time to go. The nature of the work might not be fun, but I really kind of miss casting gels, grow cells, run column etc. While the process was very long and tiring, the end result is something that can be really satisfying. But anyway, now that everything is over, I should be getting ready to embark on the next phase of my life. Keep tuned for more updates in later posts.

Some photos to share.

My work bench for 4 months...

Before i managed moved here....

My seat in the office... which i had to share with 2 other ppl after my fyp coz all the undergrad started coming in...

My storage places in the lab...

The 4 deg fridge... it was supposed to be much more cluttered but i cleared a lot of things away before i took this photo...

And the -20 deg fridge.... i think my stuff only took up like 20% of the space..

My poster that is sitting outside the lab now. The only remaining trace to show that I have been around...

And last but not least, the all familar corridor

new gadget

i got a present!

On top of my dear lappie, my wonderful k750i and a new home PC, i am now a proud owner of a brand-new PSP!

yeah!! all thanks to my wonderful dearie. hehe... i told him not to buy liao.. but i was shocked to get it on sat when i met him. Now i am hooked onto games.. ew... i gotta take care of my eyes.

but anyway, thank you very much darling for ur present! =)

MISS NG

This miss ng ah.. She complain I nv mention about her in the GEMs blog so I shall dedicate one entire post to her. haha..

Well.. Actually the main reason why I nv mention her coz the photo we took together was terribly ugly.. And I forgot to acknowledge her somewhere. But I still refuse to post it here.. haha..

But anyway, thanks to this girl, my life got entwined with GEMs. While there was a difference in role between org comm and facis, I am glad that we all got along pretty well.

So well… thanks to huimin I got to know a lot of young, vibrant and very nice ppl. MUACKzz…

Oh.. since I got no photos here.. I shall post embarrassing photos of that girl. She was so touched on the last day that she cried loh.. tsk tsk…

some random photos

People...

this photo was taken at the airport when i went to send my "little" cousin off to new zealand for her school geography field trip. so lucky, they have a lot of schemes now to provide financial assistance and she only paid very little for the trip. sigh.. me oso want to go..

I was giving tuition to two of my cousins and this little one insists that he wants to join in oso. so i told him to "do homework". He was so serious about his work that he went to his house to grab his "pencil case" and started drawing. Look at how serious he is at his work. =)

And this boy is so cute, got this sunday i happened to be at home so me and my sister brought him out to the market to eat. He passed by this small place that has a lot of toys so he says he wants to see the toys. I do not intend to get him anything so i told him that see only ah. he was having so much fun looking at the toys that he was reluctant to leave. But being the very good boy, he nv scream and shout for toys. he even waved bye to the toys.. so cute........

Food...

i met the godiva gang for dinner one friday. supposed to be initiated by shu juan and peck yean but end up only got me, xiling, jo and mitch. we went to riverside restaurant or something like that to eat. we order this bbq platter and it was very nice!! wow.. and we were so full. after dinner, we went to walk ard clarke quay and finally settle down at coffee club to drink something. sigh.. but got so many ppl, so noisy. end up we kind of like screaming into each others ears. but still, i still think that clarke quay is a great place to hang out. we even intend to set aside a friday to meet up.

Oh.. and i could not get this out of my mind. this was supposed to be the cesar salad at the soup place at raffles city. me n hm was staring at it when it came and thought that this look more like a sandwich than a salad. but then, the soup is nice. haha.. ilike..

Even more random...

Me, mitch and xiling met up one sunday for cosmetics shopping. Conclusion: Bobbi Brown has very nice concealers. Oh.. and along the way, we were stopped by this guy doing sony roadshow outside heerens. we got a free photo taken and printed. AND we got a free air-brush tattoo. See.. so nice!! and look so real. haha.. but now its gone liao.. sad sad...

There.. the 3 girls with their tattoos. we took this in diesel. got another which we took in the toilet but that one is too dark. not nice.. anyway, can vaguely see the tattoo on xiling n mitch's arm and the one on my leg lah. =

A direction

I have finally made up my mind. On Tuesday, I went for an interview with MOM. Initially, I did not intend to take up the job. But later, the HR guy called me to offer me the job and I was so enticed that I accepted the job offer after 1 night of pondering.

Now, i no longer need to send out anymore resumes, and type any more cover letters. But my research also ends here. I will never know what kind of job is out there for there, at least for the next 2 year. But I think that a govt job is seriously not a bad job to begin with. And is going to be a good stepping stone for what I have planned for the next couple of years.

In any case, I am glad to have a job now. I can finally sleep peacefully already.

Gemmer rocks

Well.. I am always procrastinating and delaying my blogs. Anyway, this is something I really wanted to blog about…

8th June 2007 marks the end of 2 phases of my life.

The first was my university life as this was the day I received my results. This year the school decided that results will be released on 12 midnight. As a result, I knew my results super early in the morning. But luckily it did not affect my mood although I was disappointed about it.

But 8th June 2007 also marked the closing of the pilot Young Gems Camp.

This camp was an initiative taken on by WDA to raise the awareness of GEMS (Go the Extra Mile for Service) and how to provide good service in secondary school students. I was very lucky to be involved in this camp as a facilitator. It was really a very different camp that I have attended and I have really learnt a great deal.

My trainer, Serene was a nice person, my fellow facis were wonderful despite the fact that we had conflicts here and there and the participants were wonderful. Remember: the camp has ended but the lesson continues…

Some photos to reminisce about.

This camp was held at republic poly, which happens to be 15 mins walk from my house.

My wonderful cluster 2(sunshine as they were called although the guys refused to admit it) on day 1:On day 2, on our way out for the Customer Experiential Activity.

We had neoprints and we introduced Matthew to his virgin KFC meal. It had been like donkey years ago since I’ve taken neoprints but I must say that I am totally impressed with how neoprints has evolved. I totally loved the neoprints we took and I am now hooked.On day 3, before we leave for the Gemmers-in-Action along Orchard Road:

Look at how happy everyone was!Gemmers, let’s get ready to rock and roll! Can you see me right at the tip of the triangle? I kneel until my leg wanna break liao…My cluster along orchard road. It had been a hard day for them. Having to give away NeWater, the Gems tattoo, ugly poodle made from balloons and to provide free gift wrapping services. But I thought it was a great day! Even though I was attached to a different cluster.The cluster that I was attached to. I really admire their spirit despite rejections. Well done!On day 4, everyone was out for service attachment. And at night, we gather back at RP for a small picnic. And shortly, we had a prize presentation ceremony. I am so proud of my cluster. They won something! Here’s the entire camp. We were all supposed to say Tuesday and I must say this method really helps us to smile better.Well. Lo and behold, the ending has to come. In a flash of an eye, we are at the end of the camp. The last day started off with a performance. Which we all spent 2 nights staying back super late in RP trying to rehearse. Following was a dialogue session with Ms Grace Foo. There was a buffet lunch and somehow, the participants decided to sabotage the facis! I was hiding behind the buffet table but apparently, my fellow facis sabotaged me. The damage was not too bad, with only 1 tattoo on my face, 1 on my neck and 2 on my leg. I think there were facis who suffered a worse fate than me. But still, I was very sure everyone had fun. And we had our fair share of emotional scenes and tears as well.

Here’s my chacha group. Thanks for putting up with all my nonsense and pressure. You girls and guys were wonderful! Love ya!Here’s my cluster again! We survived the camp! Well done!The entire strength of the participants. With about 80 students from 18 different schools, these students have managed to bond together in a short span of 5 days despite their differences. Look how pretty this arrangement is.Woohoo! You've made it!Well, how can we forget the people without whom this camp will not be possible?

There! Here we are. We could still manage to laugh after the first day. But subsequently, we were making a very conscious effort to be the role model.

My beloved fellow facis. I missed you all!

From top to bottom, left to right.
Me, Sihui, Sham, Choon Hua
Kathy (my partner), chin, Kun Rong,
Chris, Ally and Leonad

Hip hip hooray!

haha.. we were taking photos when we should be listening to the debate. Opps…Our signature “huat ah”. I dunno why they use huat but I dun really mind. Wahha…Well, last but not least, the most important man without whom, these photos would not have been possible. LUKE! the photographer who is always getting on our nerves with his camera. But I love his touch of humor.

Although the camp is over, I am sure that the friendship built and the lessons learnt will not be forgotten. Let’s go out and make a difference. LET’S GEMS!

Crossroad

Well, I have finally ended the last phase of my education when I received my final results on 8th June 2007. No doubt I was pretty disappointed with my results, but I guess I can only move on from here. The end is only the beginning of an end. Now I still have a long long journey to go and the next thing I have to worry about is my career.

Sigh… talking about my career gives me a headache. I am now standing at a crossroad.

I am considering a career as a financial advisor but I am so worried that I cannot survive without money for the first few months of the job as the job is 100% commission based. On top of that, I still have to fork out a couple of hundreds to pay for my exam first before I can even get the job. Sigh… so fan.. can anyone give me a small advice? I promised myself that I will never get a job with no basic pay but yet, I am really quite interested in this job.

Or should I just go ahead and get any job? I seriously have no idea which field to explore and which occupation I really like. So sian.. I feel like I have totally no life goals and objective now. I cannot see my future.

BOYCOTT!

okay.. to quote lele, i am starting a boycott campaign. To boycott this particular bubble tea shop at the basement of causeway point which used to be sw*** t***.

I was so super pissed by them today.

I went to buy bubble tea coz huimin wants to drink. Den i decided to buy for myself and usually I do not take the pearls. However, today, coz i was in a hurry, i forgot to tell the auntie not to put pearls and I realised my mistake too late. But I told the auntie nvm, although i think i looked unhapppy coz i was pissed with myself for forgetting to tell auntie. so another auntie who was there said this to me: “ 如果不要珍珠，可以换一杯给你。不用脸臭臭的。”

.......

very good. Now i am so damn pissed off with them i have decided not to patron them anymore.

They are not $1.50 instead of $1.20 and for 30cents more, the service is not 30% lower?

so much so for Go the Extra Mile for Service. I think singapore still has a long way to go.

i need money money...

sian.. initially in really tot i was living comfortably off my tuition salary. But recently, i realised that while income remains stagnant (or even got lower), expenses have now increased considerably.

For example, my lasik sugery added an expense of $335 to my monthly expenses for 12 months. And 3 months from now, i have to start paying my laptop loan, adding $250 to my expenses for 10 months. Adding on to that, i have to start paying $250 a month for my facial package in July for 3 months. And i have kind of agreed to go hongkong, meaning i have to spend more money. To add on to my woes, Transitlink decided that I can only buy bus concession until 30th June, means i have to start paying adult fare from july. omg... 愁上加愁...

sigh... i need a job now... fast.. sian...

fuming mad!

omg....... i haven been so angry for so long...... argh!!! i am so angry now!! and the mp3 on at maximum volume does not seem to help much. freaking irritating.....

right now.. all i want to do is to smash something... can anyone tell me where to vent my frustrations? if not i think a lot of things are gg to suffer...

Sorry, I Love You [OST] - 눈의 꽃 (Noon Eh Ggot - Acoustic Ver)

omg... wow.. i simply love this song now.. can anyone find me the song? and tell me the show? thanks!

Incandescence

Well, Friday was DnD mah. I did my own makeup coz I scared the makeup artist anyhow touch my eyes and to save money, I decided not to do anything to my hair since I have a $300 hair accessory (my shades). I even got fake French manicure. So pretty…… and I bought a new golden eyeshadow that is damn glam and pretty. Gosh…

but poor yu lei have to wait half and hour for me, haha.. coz she say she will be late den I took my own sweet time loh.

But anyway, the night was really fun. It was a small party coz very little people went but it was a great night. The host was good, the games were quite fun, the performance was damn funny and the profs were so sporting. Alex Law got real drunk, Prof Las got made-up like a girl and all the other professors dance around with us like mad. IT WAS A WONDERFUL NIGHT! Thank you committee. =)

The place was quite small though, but the food was passable. And we had nice door gifts. It was a personalised cashcard, so pretty that i cannot bear to use it. And my gang won one of the game so we split the gifts. Some shiseido make up, pretty precious moments ez-link card, and TCC membership card.

here are some photos. I am so surprised that I did not take much photos. I think I snapped like crazy during JC prom but now I was so lazy to take photos. Speaking of photos, we had a free photoshoot from PictureMe and I thought I look like an air-stewardess. Haha…

Air-stewardess in making....

Partial Godiva gang (chew hwee and shu juan nv come) with alex law

Pretty girls showing off the pretty corsages... but u can see torres with a weird expression in the background. lol...

OH... this is the prettiest photo i have of myself for the entire night.. haha.. do not get the wrong idea.. the guy is a normal friend. i still love my dear the most. but this poor guy very pathetic. he gena sabo to be made up like a girl, and u can still see traces of purple eyeshadow on this eyes. i simply love this photo coz my shades are so pretty!! they made me look like a star. haha.. i think i made the right choice by buying the red one.. woot.. pretty.. haha..

slacking at home

haha.. I say I am going to help out in lab right? But I have only been back like for 2 days? Slack sia.. haha… but I have no time to go back to lab leh… anyway, the main reason why I do not have time to go back is that the next step to my work is protein prep and tt takes a whole day. As in 14-16 hours day so I cannot have stuff to do in the evening. So mah… no time loh. Haha..

anyway, last Wed, I met godiva to make corsages for our dnd. So pretty right?

Den after which, I went shopping with Jo to get some stuff coz metro got sale then I metro member so I got preview. We actually spent the whole day there and I bought lingerie and a pair of shoes and some other stuff. Felt so guilty about spending money that I decided that I shall not go for a hair-do on Friday. Haha… thurs I went to see doc den got facial. Talking about facial I damn sian.. now I know why tai-tais are so busy. Facial appointments in orchard area are damn hard to book lah. Sian diaoz.. it was a Thursday afternoon and I expect them to have at least some slots free. So I nv change my appointment and made my way down. Who knows, they are fully booked! Sian lah.. I still got tuition so I cannot make it for later slot. In the end I went to suntec but I bought a nice pair of earrings for DnD. Haha..

Refer to the 2nd post for DnD updates..

time to look for a new job

boohoo... today is 11th may. maersk never call me. sad to say, i have to search for another job soon... sian diao... sigh....... but i dunno wat i want to be leh.. how???

safe and sound!

hi everyone! i am back.. safe and sound after my lasik surgery on 09 may and the nerve wreaking presentation on 08 may. hehe....

my presentation was fine. it was better than i had expected except for a question for which i gave a wrong answer. sian diaoz..... anyway, i was glad that it was over. i was so nervous over the presentation that i could not sleep the night before.

my lasik surgery was very successful too. i still cannot see very clearly now especially at night. but other that i am very happy. =) doc says my eyes will take about a month to stablise and we will see if we need any touchups after 3 months. well... i hope we do not need any touch ups. i am scared. the procedure was very fast, about 15 min per eye, but it is very scary. afterall, they are cutting my eyes leh... thank god nothing happened.

all in all, i want to thank all my wonderful friends who have wished me luck for my presentation, even huiyi who wished me late. hehe... i hope i will not let you all down. *pray hard* and i also want to thank everyone who had been so concerned about my eyes. special thanks to my dear who took leave to go for the op with me and who sent me home and stayed with me. (this sounds like the asknowledgment page in thesis leh.. hehe.. )

i will be back with longer posts when i can see better. -)

my pretty poster!

poster presentation was finally over. well... i did not start out the day well. haha.. i was late for like 20 mins and when i got there, Dr Sze was already there but i think she saw that i jus arrived so she gave me time to settle down and came back later. =P

my first examiner was dr gruber, Yu Lei's boss. wah lau.. he is a damn nice guy. and after a long session with him (we talked for like 20 mins until even my fren who was like 2 panels away noticed it), i realised a couple of errors in my thesis. And i am talking about conceptual errors, not so much of grammer or small and insignificant errors. sad sad

and the only question that Dr Sze asked, i was unable to answer.. sian diaoz.. now i am so damn worried about my oral presentation lah. think about it will also increase my heart beat. freaky...

sian...

anyway, here's my pretty poster and pretty me.. =)
