One year older......time really files. 2 years back i was taking O Levels, and now, few more months taking A Levels. I want to thank all my friends who wished me HAPPY BIRTHDAY, really appreciate it.
This birthday, i didnt buy anything for myself, cause didnt have anything in mind. But this year, i bought some things i have always wanted. Earlier this year, bought a high waist short when i'm at 313 with shunyu. Then, 2 or 3 months back, FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON THE 时尚酷墨镜 together with 小猪 罗志祥 album (read my previous post). The 时尚酷墨镜 is really VERY COOL~~!!! LOVE IT!!! And really, i wore it and shook my head till the max, it really didnt fall off. But i doubt i will wear it in singapore when i'm out, the most on my wrist.
Few days back, i watched 娱乐百分百and got to know this singer 蓝有时-Shadya, her voice is really nice. I like her new album《伦敦的爱情》a lot, all the songs are like what she said, 'after listening to it, you can heal your 'wounds' yourself' I not saying i have any wounds need to be heal but it's really nice and relax to listen to her songs. I cant exactly explain it, watch these MV.
1) 伦敦的爱情
2) 一体两面
The second singer is 郭采洁-Amber, her new song -卡通人生 is really cute, i dunno where i hear the music/tune before, really familiar, is it some advertisement? I really have no idea, anyone has as the same feeling?
卡通人生
After searching this MV on YouTube, found this 'Lollipop' by MIKA, so i think the卡通人生 is a remake/another version.

*NIGHTMARE FOR ME* AVIOD! AVIOD! AVIOD! MUST AVIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just ended my 4e3 bbq gathering, though only 12 came, but i think we all had fun. This time round is quite successful, as the food are of the right amount, not like last time, too much or too little. I sort of 'burnt'/'scalded' by right hand while i was putting off the fire for the bbq. I didnt know there will be lots of steam after i splash the water onto it, so my hand was like just above the coals, and *PUFF*, there goes my right hand. My skin is still pinkish and can still feel the pain. Luckily i immersed it in ice water immediately, if not, i think it will be worst. Therefore, lesson learnt: NOT TO SPLASH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER ONTO BURNING COALS, DO IT SLOWLY WITH LITTLE AMOUNT. AND, WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM!!! Few weeks back, i was back from Sydney. The trip was quite dry due to all the dialogue sessions but it was really eye-opening. I get to experience how it was like to be in a lecture where you can just ask a question while the lecturer is talking. I get to see their culture through the trip to Sydney Opera House and the drama/comedy that i watched. It was SHOCKING to see that there is only one male artiste sitting there, in the middle of the stage, talking none stop in the drama. There is no change of scene and it lasted for around 1.5 to 2 hours? I understand what the male artiste is saying but dun get the funny part. The Australians around me were laughing like nobody business but i didnt find myself doing that. About their lifestyle, they start business late and end it early. I remembered there was a day when we went to a countryside and need to get packed lunch. We were warned not to all rushed into one cafe and queue to buy our packed lunch because we will not be able to do that in 30mins. The reason was......the pace there is slow, they are not like us, rushing to eat, work etc. They are enjoying themselves, relaxing thus wont be able to take our orders and pack it as quickly as the fast food restaurants. True enough, i waited for quite long to order and get my packed lunch. There were only 5 of us and the female shop attendant looks a bit confused and start to make mistakes. When we were paying after she packed every one's lunch, she miscounted and we got to pay it at a cheaper price. I paid 1 AUZ less? If she were to do that for every customer, i think they dun need to do the business already. Another thing that proves the lifestyle of the countryside is slow would be, elderly coming together to setup a mini flea market in a small cottage and the elderly there who were tending to their stall were sitting there competing and playing crossword puzzle. I was like *WOW*, they are seriously enjoying their life! Didnt really shop over there as the shopping time was not long enough. There was once they gave us only 30mins to shop in a mall and 1 hour plus in a big market+shopping mall+lunch. Though there was free & easy for the last day, they brought us to The Rocks to shop for 2.5 hours. But no use, the things there were SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE. A top for 65 AUZ, a necklace for 40+++AUZ...... I would prefer to have the 2.5 hours to be spent at big market where things are cheap and a variety to look at and buy. The weather there was really cold, but it got warmer as we were about to leave. But i think, it is better to be cold than hot over there. Their sun is very glaring and can get sun burnt very easily. About their food, it was nothing special. The Australians dun really have a proper lunch, they mostly have SANDWICHES in cafes for lunch unless you go to a food court like one in Singapore where you have many choices to choose from. Breakfast and dinner i had were those western that kind. I had breakfast in the hotel, it was a small buffet : egg, sausages, potato, beans, muffins, cereal, fruits etc. Dinner are the fish and chips, steak, spaghetti, pasta etc. But i must say, there sandwiches are really different from ours in terms of flavours and size. The only special food i had, which was for one of the dinner which we had to buy for ourselves was KEBAB. I never eaten a kebab before and it turn out to be tasty.....they were really generous with the fillings.
I think i'll continue next time....tomorrow still got training in the morning....

Off to Sydney~~~
Sunday, November 29, 2009
In about 25 hours time, i will be flying off to Sydney~~~away from Singapore for about 5 - 6 days. Not really for holidays, but for an educational trip, which means, more learning, less shopping. The learning part would be through dialogue sessionssssss which we are having it for most of the days. As we are told, it's dialogue session, so we should be asking questions and not staring at the lecturer and STONE. We need to COMMUNICATE with the lecturer, give him or her acknowledgement by NODDING OUR HEADS. This is a big different from what we have in Singapore, will definitely give me a new experience. I just have to treat this trip with the correct mindset - learning, so that i can benefit as much as i can from it. Just hope that everything will go on smoothly....... This trip is a bit troublesome, as we the outfit we wear must be something presentable as we are meeting important people for dialogue session. Therefore, we cant really wear T-shirts (which i think is the most comfortable to wear when we go overseas) but have to wear blouse? Or just something not that informal. I really dunno. Worst still, we are going for a theatre performance in Sydney Opera House, so need to wear something smart and formal. With clothes that are smart, we definitely need to wear a shoes that goes well with it. Hence, for this trip, i need to bring another shoe just for the theatre performance. Troublesome right? No choice....i still remember the time i went to Vietnam, i just throw all my T-shirts, shorts and jeans in the luggage and everything is settle. But this time, i need to think whether this or that is presentable and blahblahblah............. I am more or less settle with the packing, just hope that the weather in Sydney would be good and fine. If it's shower and wet, it will definitely dampen the mood to have fun. Went to check just now, the weather there would be cloudy and wet for the next few days, hope it will improve.
