Updates updates updates...

Well.. one week ago, I went for HIS concert!

Jay Chou!

Hahaha.. this is what seats at ROW 6 yielded! Hahaha... to be able to see him walk past you like barely one metre away and the chance to his sleeve... as that's what Yuanshan did... Yeah... just wanted to note that I was at Row 6!!!

Doesn't he look good playing the drums?

Ya... so I spent the past 1 week in lala Jay Chou land... but I'm glad to say I'm snapping out of it... After a mega Jay Chou ktv session with the gassy gals...

So... on the school front, I'm proud to say that the first draft of my Thesis study is up!!! Yep! managed to put the study on this computer programme... SO just need to troubleshoot it, make it more aesthetically pleasing and I'm ready to run my study!!! yeah!!!

Taking 3 mods makes me more slack... Or rather, it gives me the illusion that I have a lot of free time! But at least I make use of some of them to do my Ethics reading... I think Ethics is a rather 'crappable' subject... Give a company an ethical dilemma.... and then... who to consider? why should you consider this and why not that.... Principles and theories...

For Psych of Reasoning and Thinking, we have to read 1 journal article a week... and then prepare a presentation explaining the study conducted in the article. We would then be randomly picked to present the article. I was 'lucky' enough to be randomly chosen to present for the past 2 weeks liao...

Capstone has been stagnant cause we haven't had any talks yet... So now.. time to start doing some revision and what not...

Ok.. ending this post with yet another of the pics taken... I dunno whether I love my camera more or the seats I had. Hahahaha...

Ok... I need to snap out of this fangirling stage... At 23, it's a bit late no?

Been on a Jay Chou high after going for Jay Chou's concert on Friday night. And been prettty obsessed with it for the past two days. (try going on youtube to search for a million and one fanclips). It doesn't help that we discussed him when we met yesterday. Hahaha... Wild thoughts of getting to meet him or sth has been flitting in and out of my mind. (Never thought I could be so crazy over a celebrity.. hurhurhur...)

Need to shift my attention to some other stuff. Maybe I should go to town and return my library books (in the hope of being able to meet him! Wahahahhas...) Like Siyi said, I'm gone!

On another note, went to the career fair yesterday. Eh.. nothing much lor... I felt pretty much cheated. I might as well have applied for the jobs online. Other than that, week 3 of school is starting now. In the midst of getting my study up...

Heh.. realised I haven't posted much (or rather, anything) about my HK trip~!~ So here's a short short summary...

Highlight of the trip would be I guess.... HIM!!!

Yeah.. Went for a Jay Chou concert... which we decided in a spur of madness at 3am one night.

And I liked it so much... that I'll be going for his concert on the 18th! Can't WAIT!! IT"S NEXT WEEK!

hmmm.. so what else did we do with a 9 days, 8 nights trip in HK? Like the advert said... 买东西, 吃东西, 卖东西, 吃东西。。。and have loads and loads of fun...

Here's Siyi jumping into the picture at the Tung Chung factory outlets. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we only managed to get stuff from Esprit... Pretty nice tops there. Some of the things there are not rock-bottom cheap, but cheaper than what you get at the stores. So yeap.. after that, we headed to Disneyland!

Minnie at the entrance... and look!

Mickey and Minnie greeting us during the Christmas parade. And that sadly was the only shot I got of these 2 iconic Disney figures.

Mabel, Ade and Siyi... with our boarding passes for a ride...

And here's Sleeping Beauty's castle all lighted up. They set of fireworks at 8pm everynight.. Beautiful! S omagical.. but yeah.. you can just spend half a afternoon there. So I dun think the entrance ticket will be very much worth it. But then again, it is nice to go and see them... Some sort of a childhood thingee...

We also made a trip to Ocean Park! 2 themeparks!!!

Watched the seal and dolphin shows. I heart dolphins! And the good thing was that we did not have to queue very long for the rides. So yep... we took the roller coasters and what not...

Also went into the aquarium... WhootS! loads of nice and huge fishies... Makes me feel like going to pick up scuba diving. How I would love to dive into the sea and swim with the fishes. And it reminded me of the time I went to the Underwater World after my internship with Zhumei and Val. Hahaha...

And yep.. we saw the pandas. They were cute and very clumsy if I would say so...

And then Ocean Park was also where we got Bat Man and Schwein, seen on the left and right shoulder of gingerbread man respectively.

Ok... so much for the fun thingee... what about food? Heh... loads and loads of desserts.

But first.. the main course...From left to right on top, the first is a plate of sliced beef for steamboat. See the soup pot bubbling in the middle of the 2nd row. Yep.. it's from this place called 有骨气 and the soup base is damn good! Yummilicious!

And then how to forget dim sum... har gow and siew mai being served up next... And then we have egg tarts - you can get very good ones from practically everywhere! :)

The last picture is of a crepe we had at this revolving restaurant at Wan Chai. We went for high-tea (so tai tai right?). Hahaha.. good food aplenty! As for desserts...

One of my favourite dessert to have in HK is 杨支金露. It's mango puree with mango cubes together with pomelo. and i declare the one sold at Lucky Desserts (发记) the best simply because they are very generous with their mango! another one would be the Almond paste dessert. And so... I think we went for desserts like at least 5 times during our trip.

Hahaha. by some stroke of luck, the top row of pics are all from Lucky Desserts. We have the Durian Pancake which is pretty good as the durian is rather fragrant. Following that, Almond Paste and finally, 杨支金露.

Next, we have steamed milk which is oh-so-delicious! I had the ginger one and it's just so soothing. 杨支金露 from 许溜山. and then almond paste dessert again from another rather good dessert place called 满记. And finally, there's some red bean paste(?), Mango sago dessert and Walnut paste.

Yep.. shall blog till here... we also went up to the Peak where it was brrrr cold... went into the wax museum there, walked the Avenue of Stars at Tsim Sha Tsui and visited Mabel's uni. heh.. more pictures the next time! :)

Week one of my final sem in uni came and went. Although only doing 3 mods this sem, but deadlines seem to be pretty tight with my thesis, commentaries and papers all due very close to each other. But must cherish this last semester...

What else have I been busy with? Nothing much actually. I got a new phone! Wahahahhas.. it's a Motorola v9. Pretty ok.. and I like it cause its slick and I like the rather unique mahagony colour.

I finally got approval to run my thesis study! Whoots!!! Haven't been that excited at receiving an email for some time liao. Cause I have been worried that they would reject the proposal and stuff. But all's well in the end!

A whole new sem ahead.. looking forward to meet some people whom I haven't seen in a while. Yeah.. that means you Val! Hahaha.. taking modules with many friends I've made over the past 3.5 years, every class is like a gathering. Here's to a funfilled sem!

Happy New Year!!! Ok.. my new year greetings always comes a bit later than the 1st Jan.

I was just looking through my archives... I've been blogging for 4 and a half years. That's quite a lot of things to say. From the 2nd half of my JC years to now, when I'm entering my last sem at Uni.

Well.. wishes for the new year...

• I guess to be more focussed - work on my thesis and the last 3 modules of my undergrad life
• To find a job - hoping, wishing, maybe an overseas posting? More importantly though, I hope it is work that I enjoy and in a company where I will be given opportunities to grow.
• To better appreciate and love the people around me - family, friends.
• Try not to procrastinate too much...

And now... looking back at 2007 so that I can draw a close to the year...

Having spent almost 5 months out of Singapore, I guess the highlight of the year would be my exchange to Switzerland... Looking at these pics of gorgeous scenary never fails to make me smile... :)

Bellinzona - in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland.

Rheinfalls

Interlaken, Switzerland

And then, there's the thrill of working on my senior thesis albeit all the hard work. Getting approval, working out the kinks and details... another sem to slog it out...

My recent trip to Hongkong with Siyi and Ade, meeting Mabel there and meeting up with Sea and Charlotte, friends I met on exchange. Heh... Watching Jay Chou which set me off on a mini Jay Chou craze...

And I think more importantly, having quite a bit of 'me-time' for December. So apologies if I seem anti-social and stuff. First, I got a handphone that loses my smses and can't msg very well. But I had time to recharge and slack... A wonderful Christmas and New Year.

And now.. onward to a New Year! I just have to settle that dratted IRB application... heh...
