June babies.

Been really busy for this week, like super darn busy.

Had trainings on both Monday, Tuesday and ytd (10th, 11th, 13th June), but for both Monday and Tuesday, i didn't get to train much, cos i still don't know the 套路 yet, so just agaration here and there, and drumming was modified and taught by both 韩大哥 and 水华姐. Really appreciate them.... from nothing, to at least know how to anyhow whack some rhythm out!!

Planned to nua my Wednesday away at home, but parents drag me out to run some errands tgt w them, so no choice but to follow. And in return, they fetch me over to Serangoon as well to order my contact lens for the next 6 months, hehehehe save another bus trip!

As for yesterday, headed back to work, did morning shift. Slept for only a pathetic 2.5hours, cos my body clock was screwed up big time. LIKE SRSLY BIG. Was tossing and turning since 3+ am, and i was playing Candy Crush even at 4.55am on bed -______-
Went to work, behaving like a living zombie, till Reffy came over for her shift @ 1pm.

Was whatsapping w my mates the whole time, and they all ganged up against me, all anyhow pairing meup w ppl, and on the other hand, i was pairing up Reffy w Dong 哥 from Bee Cheng Hiang as well. Hehe. :b

Knocked off @ 430pm, headed to Kreta Ayer to buy Gary's 师父带, and crossed opposite to Duxton Hill to collect pay from the main branch.
Recv news from Rach saying that, Rina might wanna hire liondance for the opening ceremony for the Siglap's outlet, so i was like telling her "FIND ME FIND ME!!!!! I CFM STEADY FLOR". Rach was like thinking since one of the staff is in Liondance, why not just hire us and don't need to spend more time googling for lion dance troupe. Hopefully Rina agreed to it, so that NYPLD have business. *Pray hard, pray hard*

Went around combing Chinatown for Wz's shoes and black socks for competition, but only manage to get black socks -____-

Went back to NYP for training, and both teams are down for complete training finally! Though the strength wasn't full, but A LOT OF PPL CAME DOWN!! Hehe.

 Team NYP training while i lepak-ing. ACTUALLY NO, 'm waiting for 套路 to come out, so that i can 配鼓.


 Finalizing the forms for competition.


Kenny came down that night after he booked out! All the guys helping to keep the scaffolding props! :)

Had a mini June Babies Birthday Celebration (Shaun, Zheng Yang and Teck Kong). Teck Kong is down @ Lorong 35 for his own training, so he didn't come, and Zheng Yang went back to Msia, so ended up only celebrating for Shaun, a belated one for him. :)


 Black Forest cake from Pine Garden.

Birthday boy, Shaun.

Parents came over to fetch me to eat Kelantan Laksa (drool ppl drool!!!!) before going around running errands.

Chusai tmr w YCKCC @ 1130am, for Yun Long Zi, pray hard i can wake up......... and hope it won't be awkward, cos i scare 'm of no use tmr, since there's 7 lions, dragons and poles. LEMME BE BAG CARRIER I ALSO HAPPY. Just hope that it won't be awkward............... *fingers crossed*

结霸桥叻沙 (Kelantan Laksa)

Supppppppppppppppppppp!!!

Impromptu date w my makan kaki on Sunday (9th June). Was a very last minute decision, but so happy that all my makan kaki sooooooooooooo steady ah!

Finally able to bring them down to Kelantan Lane/ Sugei Road area to eat my favourite Laksa stall! Thank god Jiji was w us, else we don't know google our way out until how liao, lol.

Ordered straight away once we found seats.


For those who're keen on going, they're closed on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. DO TAKE NOTE UH!


Small bowl, $2, but it's definitely worth it!!! :D

 Ordered Rojak to share too, quite disappointing, cos the youtiao not much. T____T

Chatted for pretty long, and Jiji suggested we should go else where to sit down and lepak, and he suggested Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar. It's around Jalan Besar area as well, so why not? But sadly, too much people and there's not much seats for 5 of us, so last minute change to City Sq's Cedele for dessert instead.

Can't decide on which sliced cake to order, all of them ordered alrdy, i still haven't decide. Ask the staff which is more popular between their Red Velvet Cake and Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake, she said Red Velvet was more popular, so i tried it.


Imma a huge huge huge sucker for dessert and sweet stuffs. This Red velvet cake wasn't as nice as what i EXPECTED. I did put a lot of expectation on it, rate it like 7.5/10? My source is bias, so go try it yourself better. Haha.

Another impromptu decision that my NYPLD mates followed me back to my house area and to play w Micky, while Jiji go down to his own training. Was following Jiji to outside City Sq Mall, cos we thought he's going towards Taxi stand, ended up he's just waiting for Guoyong to come over to pass the wedding invitations. CHEH!!!!

And............................. talking about this.... i recv the wedding invitation for Guoyong and Tingting's wedding as well. MY FIRST EVER RED BOMB!!!! Was kinda shock that i have as well. -_____- Don't know how to explain also. Lol.
Still thinking if i should attend or not, cos first.... i don't know what to wear and second, i bo kaki. T___T And 'll feel weird also, lol. Shall see how then, 28th June still long waaaaaaaaaaaaay to go hahaha!

Cancelled my driving lesson for later on, cos mom's plan was to follow her and uncle to Tai Seng to get her iMac repaired, bth her. And there might be training at night, pray hard there's training... or else i got nothing to do again. Lol.


Was clearing my email inbox, and Fjallraven Kanken have discount again, so tempted to get the Forest Green Kanken bagpack, guess mom will definitely kill me if i buy another of the similar but different color bagpack. Sighpiez.
So many things i wanna get.... Dr Marts boots, burberry wallet, inks....... WHERE GOT $$$$$$$$. Wanna work my ass out sometimes to earn $$ to get and do whatever i want, but 'm too lazy and nua. ): 

Nothing else more i guess? Till then..................

Work, Training

Nothing to update, but 'm still here...

Went to work consecutively for three days from Wednesday (5th June) to Friday (7th June). Afternn > Morning > Afternn shift.
Worked w Yean on both Wednesday and Friday, and w Erica on Thursday.

Collected my Military Caps from PrettyWreck. So damn pretty and awesome, loving it so much! #happykid92


Back to training on Thursday, and once again reach NYP pretty early, cos we all initially wanted to start our own training @ 6pm before all the juniors came over, and i went to NYP straight after knocking off.

Sadly, when we all reached NYP, and it's raining meows and woofs, so have got no choice and stayed inside Clubrm while waiting for the rest to reach. Jiji came over as well, and only 3 juniors came down today, cos the rest have their Common Test the next day.

Thank god Jiji was pretty lenient w all of us, no killer stare no nothing. Double yay!! Learnt quite a lot of things, tired but i believe it's all worth it. :) I really hope 'm up to the standard and won't drag anyone down during competition. Although 'm pretty demoralized by the fact that Chris can so easily do drumming just by listening to the 套路 once. Sighpiez, confidence level stooped down to the lowest. T___T

As for Friday, worked afternoon shift, and saw 3 of ABTM's casts. Lobang, Sergeant Ong and one of the guy, i can't rmbr the name though. And on the other hand, Yean saw Wayang King by the foodcourt. Lol.

Mandy and Ah Ma came over to buy a sliced of Strawberry Souffle as well, for Huili's birthday.

Khristine gave me the Napoleon whole cake as well, as she say she can't finish it at all, so i brought back for family! (Y)

That's all for the past few days. Gonna go down for running before raining again. Till then.........

Huay Kwang Thai Kitchen Mookata

Title says it allllllllllllllllllllll, MOOKATA HIAK HIAK!!!

Initially planned a Sweechoon outing first before Mookata, but our 韩大哥 craved for Mookata until wanna die, so we went ahead for Mookata plan first!

By right, should be meeting up w my mates and Jiji @ Bugis, 7pm the day before ytd (1st June)? And being the #foreverlatequeen, i reached at 740pm instead!! >< Walked down to Maude Road/ Townshend Road for our Mookata!!!

Chose Buffet this time round, guess cos we over hungry. Haha.

As usual, drinks came first! Ordered lime juice, cos Mookata is damn oily, that's why uh.

While waiting for all the stuffs to arrive, here's me and Mandy!! Fisheye lens ftw!



This thingy came first tgt w our rice, i don't know how should i call this as well. :/

 This is only round one, i never take photo of round 2, 3 and so on.... :X

The bacon, as usual.... IT'S FRIGGIN' AWESOME SHITZ. Cheese Hotdog and Udon and Maggi. Damn shiok. Black pepper chicken/ pork also friggin nice. Guess 'm too hungry... BUT BACON REALLY DAMN NICE!!!!

Chatted a lot over dinner.

$25/pax for buffet, and had our usual group photo again!! :D



Walked down to Sweechoon to tabao Liusha pau, and Jiji accompanied us walked back to Bugis MRT Station.

And just one "70c left inside bank." can make them laugh and joked for few streets. GOT SO FUNNY MEHHHHH! SO MEAN. Lol.
But well, it's really an awesome night out w them ;)

More to come, more to come... Wait till we all have $$ to eat good food again. Lol.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


As for ytd (2nd june), headed back to NYP at like 5+? Met up w Kenneth and pass him all my Database and ASP.net notes to him, hopefully able to help his FYP. Totally feel him, when he was asking if i can help for his FYP, exactly happen to me back then, when 'm desperately finding Ray to help me.

Initially wanted to just take out the scaffolding behind all our dragons, cos coach needed it. But since it's like everything moved out, might as well we pack our storeroom.
Storeroom is sooooooo much cleaner now, nobody can complain us about our stuffs can cause fire hazard. (DAMN YOU NYP)
Use your brains also know Lion dance confirm a lot of stuffs, instruments and props what..... We use NYP name to go out competition and brought glory back. Y U GUYS NO APPRECIATE US UH!!!!!! >:(

After which, Coach and Yingjia came along, and they seperate us to two groups. Gary and weizhe trained on their Lion head and tail, while KK and me move to another end for our drum training.

Yj taught both of us first, and here comes along Mandy... And ended up Yj focus on teaching me only, and Mandy taught KK.
And Yj's standard damn high, wrong beat, everything restart.... but it is for my own good as well, else i will never take it srsly.
Lion drum and festive drum really is two different fucking thing.... Festive drum is like waaaaay easier. Did asked Yj to put water a bit, but he say cannot... Oh well. At least i finally learn sth really useful, instead of the usuals. Tbh, i don't think 'm up the for the drummer role, don't know why.... I reaaaaally scare by the time competition, my standard is not there yet T_____T But anyhoo, 'll still gimme my best for now! ^^

Gna wake up early tmr to make timetable for next semester, 1pm starting, and my shift starting @ 1pm, wts. Wanting someone to cover me, else i need to report to work by 4pm. Need to go over to Raffles Place @ 6pm as well to collect my loooooots, need to use my break time. SIAN LA!!!!!!

Will end here now... Nothing much alrdy, till then!!!

Chusai loh.

Supppppp readers!!

Got back 3 modules on Thursday (30th May), and i was soooooooooooo happy that i finally cleared my Stats and Econs. It's like one of the happiest thang that ever happen, but on the down side, i failed my Accounting again. Sigh. It's not the first time, it's the second time, can tio warning alrdy.

Mom was so shock that i managed to cleared both of these modules, cos April was like one of the hardest month to live through, as she know 'm handling my breakup and all the stress and pressure i given to myself. Trust me, it wasn't easy... but thank god this ex boyfriend of mine, told me to focus on my paper first before settling both our relationship problems. So thank you for considering the fact that 'm having exams, and trying not to lemme lose focus. Thank you again! xx :')

Due to the dispute problem between NTEU (National Tertiary Education Union) and RMIT University (appeared in CNA news), OB result wasn't release yet. But i really pray hard for a PA will do, i don't expect much anymore. PLEASE LEMME PASS W FLYING COLORS FOR OB.

Went back to NYP for training, like a finally, been like 3-4 weeks since i last went back for training. And trainings right now, are all focused on Ngee Ann City Zonal Compy.
Will be down for Team NYP Alumni, instead of Team NYP cos we finally have enough juniors to be in that team! First time having 6 juniors, so elated!!

Jianming asked me whether if i wanna help them for cymbal, but Coach said i will be down for NYP, so i couldn't help them either.

Coach's current plan, is to see whether if i am able to train up for the drummer role, cos 'm the only one left to be the drummer for Team NYP Alumni. Feel pressured, but 'm pretty motivated, don't ask me why. Maybe i can finally be in the "spotlight". Being in the spotlight is one of Leo's trait yknow!!! LOL JOKING ABOUT THIS.
Let's see if anyone could train me up, cos my musical talent not there one, lol.

As for yesterday (1st June), help Weijin chusai. Been so longggggggggggggg since i last touched cymbal or last chushi, kinda miss the feeling. So i was like so steady and so on Jianming, when he asked me whether i can help out or not. Lol.

Thought i was running late, and i bump into Cheeseng inside Bus 854.

Reached Defu, only Teck Kong and Bryan was there, the rest was still @ Lor 35 moving props and poles.

Changed and prepared, and off we go to Jurong Bird Park.

On the lorry w Teckkong, Bryan, Jiajen and Songyi. This photo was damnnnn blur, know why? Cos Jianming took it when the lorry is moving. But heck, IT'S A GRP PHOTO!!! I still wanna upload no matter what! Hahahaha.

Jeff's Bistro. Directly opposite Jurong Bird Park (after the whole stretch of carpark).

采酒青 this time round, and all taking turns to drink up all.

Look @ the colors like so fanciful right.... Jiji said it taste too sweet for alcohol, like F&N drinks. Lol.

Jeff's Bistro have catering, so we ate there as well.... The food was not too bad, and sat there to listen to gossips while they drink their Heineken.

Move off back to Defu after an hour plus, and reach Defu prolly at around 830, 845pm?

Was chatting w Shayne and Sharon, and Sharon was advicing me to drop out of SIM, and take up double major in Murdoch University.

Parents fetched me after that, and headed to HGM's NTUC to buy groceries and Mcd for supper! hiak hiak!

Reached home, and recv an email from RMIT as well, saying that 'm in the Final stage of being @ a risk, and i need to email them to appeal to let them continue my program in SIM, cos i failed my Accounting for the second time. Was kinda pressurized by this, and turn to Mutu for help, but he couldn't help me much, so i just googled my way through to draft out a appeal letter for my Accounting. Really tedious and braincells killing just to type out appeal letter.

I was thinking, if this appeal letter didn't get through, i might really wanna drop out of RMIT Uni, and consider taking up Murdoch Uni as what Sharon advices.
It will be a super huge leap for me, but i don't wanna take up another course in RMIT again. Business Mgmt is the only course i wanted in RMIT you see, and UOL is too stressful for me to handle.

Sigh, even during holidays, also need to stress over school, sighpiez x infinity.

Gna go back to school for variation if 'm able to successfully appeal to continue my program in SIM.


That's all for now.... till then!

Tim Ho Wan + Rocher Tauhuey

Finally the day came, and the plan for Tim Ho Wan is back on!!

Headed down to Plaza Singapura @ around 5plus, and the queue @ Tim Ho Wan wasn't really long yet, so i don't bother queueing up first, cos Mandy will be reaching at 7+ though.

So i went to Daiso to get all my stuffs first, to revamp my wardrobe! Yay!!


Yes yes, it's NOT THAT I LIKE PINK. It's just that the other colors are really hideous, like yellow? Sorry to yellow color lovers!! So once pink,, i guess the rest hafta be pink too!!

Went to Tim Ho Wan straight, and the queue is alrdy friggin long. Jiji came over first, and into the queue to accompany, while waiting for KK and Mandy to reach.



Queued for 1 hour, before we settled down inside.

The famous BBQ Pork Bun was OOS, so we didn't manage to tried it.

The menu r really limited, LIKE SUPER LIMITED, which i don't expect it, cos Swee Choon have waaaaay more much varieties yknow!



As usual, the drinks came first, and Jiji's Congee was OOS as well.

 Ice Lemon Tea!


 Glutinous Rice Dumpling.

 Vemecelli Roll w BBQ Pork.


Vemecelli Roll w Shrimp.

 Prawn Dumpling.

 Beef ball w Beancurd Skin. Anyw, it taste awful. DON'T TRY IT.

 Spring Roll w Egg White, this was nice!


Beancurd Skin Roll w Shrimp. Not too bad too!!


Pan Fried Carrot Cake.

 Tonic Medlar and Osmanthus Cake. Wanted to try it cos those Hongkong Traditional Dramas was like kept serving this to those princesses or concubines, so wanna try it. But turns out....... IT'S SO-SO!!!

Not a huge fan of Tim Ho Wan alrdy, it's like menu are limited, and we're not even 1/4 full after the meal. It was kinda overpriced too, and queue was long.
Spend $16+ for the experience, so i guess i've no say on whether it's worth it or not.

Walked down to Rocher Original Beancurd near to POMO to have our Tauhuey, cos Tauhuey is definitely filling.
And Jiji was like saying "Tim Ho Wan is only our starter, this is definitely our dinner". We literally LOL on it. Wtf, it's so lame! Omg.





And definitely, thanks Jiji for treating us for Tauhuey and the "sides". Hahaha!


A group photo w fisheye lens! But it's pretty obvious i didn't place it properly, that's why only fisheye-d one sided only. Lol!

Headed back home after that, that pretty sums up my activities on Monday (27th May)!
And oh, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO YOUNG BOY, RAIN too!!!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Headed for driving lesson to end my Stage 3 review ytd (28th May)!! Instructor was awesome, and he focus on my parallel parking! Tyvm!! More practice make it perfect! :D Hope more practices on parallel parking soon! Thank god 'm alright w my Vertical parking!

Actually, 'm pretty excited for TP, and once 'm done w car license, BIKE LICENSE HERE I COME!!!!! But plan right now, is to shift all my inking plan back, and save up for bike license. Also, no plans on porting back to CDC anym, cos 'm familiar w BBDC's circuit and Batok's and Teck Whye's road alrdy. BUT THEN, also second thoughts on bike license, too much ppl discouraging me. BUT YOLO YKNOW!!!!!

Took Shuttle bus back to Gombak MRT Station, and headed to Alif Restaurant to meet up w Jingkai and Qifa for late lunch!

Prata prata prata!~


Had a quick ketchup w them before heading back home.

Training was cancelled, so i went for my run instead.
\
Nothing much to update recently, gonna be couch potato for this week! Hahahaha, not really la~ Driving lesson on Thursday, and heading to 313 before that if possible, and training after driving.

AND FINALLY CHUSHI ON SATURDAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! How can i not be happier than that, or else i gonna rot die i supposed.


Pretty much like that, will update again! Till then......................


Xoxo, YJessica
