Weekend

1st stop this weekend, The Chinese High School!!

Above is my (母校), the Chinese High School.. Haven't return here in like 2 years, even the signages are new..

Huray, after so many months I've finally managed to find time for basketball with my old friends from secondary school. Haha, everyone seems in pretty high spirits as most of us are already clearing leave and offs and most importantly (of course la) in coming together back as a class and pitting against each other on the baketball court.

Time passes really quickly, the last time I've came back here was back in BMT days in 2004, and now most of us are already clearing leaves and offs and awaiting our ORD..
(haha, sorry Justin and Wilson, our Guardsmen. Dun worry your time will come soon enough, eventually =D )

Coincidentally, we meet another bunch of Old Boys, well not that old as us, a bunch of 19 yr olds from fresh from BMT (haha, ORD loh!!), sure brings back memories.. We had a few games together, in which some of us realised how much we've deteriorated in terms of fitness in barely 2yrs time. Luckly of us,we still had some tricks up our sleeves and our mo4 qi4 for playing together for more than 4 yrs helped as we brushed off their challenges (ok really not trying to be hao lian here, in fact I ADMIT we're quite poor too. It's just that they happened to be lousier hence we won lah).

Classmates and friends (everyone's in the same class from sec 1 till sec 4)

Thanks again d(^_^)b to the organising committee Chunlei (mastermind?), Boon Bing and Fuxiang for getting everyone (13 pple total) together again on the basketball court!!


2nd stop. City Hall.

Met up with Wei Ren for a quickie cell group message at BK. We parted ways shortly after he delievered a short but powerful message on "Personality for Success: Part2".

Here's what I've learnt:

F = Fustration (for a long period of time)
A = Aggressiveness (a product of too musch fustration)
I = Insecurity (feeling of inadequacy)
L = Loneliness
U = Uncertainty (no direction)
R = Resentment (result of anger which has turned rotten)
E = Emptyness (a symptom of poor self image)

These are the characteristics of a "FAILURE" personality, which I need to avoid at all cost (anyway, who wants to be anything listed there right, sounds really lousy doesn't it?) , to enjoy success in life = p

Dinner was at Thai Express at Citylink. Together with Lijin, Chengyao, Tuck andYifeng. Seems that Yifeng actually had sore throat today, so Thai Express might not really be that good a choice for him. However, he decided to go with the flow and decided to come along
(sometimes being together in a group meant sacrificing oneself to accomodate the crowd. Yifeng demostrated that very well in his "self-sacrificing" act here. Kudos to you bro)

Dinner was pretty fun, the expected standard with Tuck, Chengyao and Yifeng in the mix. And with Lijin and her comments to add to the trio's firepower, plenty of shooting going around at Thai Express. (side note: Yifeng is really good with SPICY/HOT stuff =p )

[Recommendation: Soft shell Crab with Curry. At only $8.90 @ Thai Express.]

Chengyao, Tuck and Lijin @ Thai Express, City link mall) Yifeng's e missing one..
(Observe Tuck's face. He din actually wanted to take this photo, cos he thought it's very pai seh. But he still obliged, as always so accomodating of his frens)


3rd Stop. Rock Auditorium, Suntec City.

The highlight of the day. NTU Annual Talent time competition, Impresario 2006, at New Creation Church's Rock Auditorium. Met up with Samuel, Lijia, Shuwen and Huijing at Suntec.(Hmmm, the girls are dressed up prettily today ; D ) Wow, the queue's frightening long (from the cinema till the arcade side and beyond) for the $10 tickets, and it's only 1800hr, the show's no gonna start till 1830hrs (this is another of Singaporeans speciality, patience. We can wait patiently wait up to 2-3 hrs just to get a better seat that's maybe 3 - 5 rows in front..)

Luckily for me, I've managed to get a $13 ticket. That means my queue is separated from the $10 one.. Thank God, the queue is much much shorter and I got in pretty quickly, and got a pair of seats in the 1st row!! (Oh yes!! =D )

IMPRESARIO is truly Impressive!! Haha, the 3 hour ++ concert is sure worth the $13, with extra value-added!! Haha, keep it up NTU Cultural Activities Club, I'm full of expectancy for next year's IMPRESARIO 07!
Be It. Live it. Believe it. IMPRESARIO 2006.
It's the best talent time contest I've been to, great talents and wonderfully commedic hosts (esp. SUPERHOST Li Teng from YES 933)

(Thanks again for the tickets Xiuwen!!)
Smilez, if you enjoyed the show =D


4th Stop. SAF Chalet, Cheeyu's 21st birthday celebrations.

Chee Yu's 21st Birthday @ SAF Chalet. (Cheeyu's the one in ARMY admin, grey, T-shirt)

Ops, din take any much photos here, cause our the 4C guys from my class left early.. The 3 latecomers (myself, LBird and Justin) were the only 4C representatives who stayed over at the chalet.. The others left early, before we even came (Lame laa), ok we've only got ourselves to blame for coming late.. Anyway, Cheeyu pretty much seem to enjoy himself with the different groups of friends which came to celebrate his birthday with him, so we're glad for the birthday boy too!!

Happy 21st Birthday to our one and ONLY Cheeyu aka CheeBird, all the best to you :)
