A VIRGIN EXPERIENCE (第一次）

Today is sunday, I woke up late this morning (ermm.. afternoon). Nobody's around as mum is at Church while dad went out to work, and my sister is still sleeping (like brother like sister)..

Anyways, I had always been saying that I want to bake chocolate cookies, finally got down to do it today.

It's my 1st baking experience, as I did not take home economics during my sec sch days.

Production in Progress...

This is the 1st batch, my very 1st chocolate chip cookies!! Hmmm, it's REALLY soft, somewhere between a Milo-dipped Digestive biscuits (= a little soggy) and a soft chewy chocolate-chip cookie.. It turned out too flat as the flour wasn't thick enough and the cookies spread out during the baking... However I still enjoy the very chocolatety taste, eMmmm, sinful ;-P

Pastry Master (in-training)

5 hours later, one experience richer.

Thank my dear sister Ivy for testing the cookies, running to the provision shop to help me buy additional flour, and for tracking my journey down on film.

P.S. To My lim teh kahkis and Mahjong kahkis,

I will bake some for you all, hmmm, next time.. hahah.. As promised =)


Yours sincerely,

GLK, aH_YaN9

Mugging at CITs...


Mugging in front of the computer. Although I'm in school, but it feels like back home. Well, at least I'm without the distraction of the lastest episodes of Prison Break and Naruto Shupuuden, and that's why I am blogging now, to distract myself, tension release..

Doing Maths 2 Tutorial 7 now, hope to finish before my next lecture starts. Have JJ Lin's songs running in my ears now, bringing me back to the SAJC mugging days with Cheng Yao and Tuck.. [Bu shi mei ge ren hui du shu hui du...]

That's all for the ramblings... Back to studies..

IMPRESARIO '07 Celebration!

A very BIG "Thank You" to MR Chrispy for the post event celebration @ Világe today.

A very generous and thoughful MR Chrispy, booked a dinner for all Impresario 2007 main committee @ Világe today. The "supposed" meeting time was 1830 (according to MR Chrispy's email), however our dear Chairperson (MR Chrispy) went much earlier to "set-up" the place.

Met up with OJ, Yao, Shanyi (Yao's missus) and MRS Chrispy and Eileen at Jurong East MRT. As usual, all of us were late (abeit slightly). Supposed meeting time was changed from 5pm to 5:45pm to 5:30pm and back to 5:45pm again, however by the time we boarded the east-bound train it was already 6pm. And just as per usual, the journey was trademark Impresario'07-styled. We had our Self-Induced "High' (Zi High) mode ON, and dishing out 'lamb' (lame) jokes around, throughout the journey. It really reminded me of the day of Impresario Finals, where the same few of us (missing Xiaowei, Yuwen, Yizhen and James) travelled to town together, also sitting at the middle section of 2 MRT carriages, sharing lame jokes and having lotsa fun. Others agreed that they felt the same way too.

Life's never dull with the Impre pple around, and time passes quickly. Soon we reached our meeting place, Summerset Somerset Station. Yao and OJ were carrying 2 sealed boxes with them, supposedly our (1 of many) 'surprise' for the night. The tight-lipped MRS Chrispy simply refused to let the cat out of the bag, despite our keen probing...

MRS Chrispy quickly spotted MR Chrispy upon exiting the gantry, and our MR & MRS Chrispy are reunited. Our entourage grew in size as we are joined by Kelly, Yizhen and Shirong (or rather we joined them, as they had been waiting for us all along).


Világe here we come.

Showing off some of the photoshop skills I picked up on wed

[1917] Location: Lee Wee Nam Library.

It's past 7pm, and I'm still studying and completing my weeklong lab report in school. Today marks a new record for the number of hours I spent doing schoolwork since God-Knows-When, it had been 7 hours (minus the time spent travelling to school).

The library closes at 9.30pm, I still have 2hours plus to go.

This is exhausting, but strangely enough, this is beginning to feel good.

I needed a breather, a short break, hence this post. Ok, need to get back to work soon, I'm glad I had completed 1 1/2 lab report, half more to go..

Ok back to the books.

[1923] GLK, Mugger out. Back to work....

Full Time Student

Impresario 2007 is over. Been suffering from what is called Post Production Syndrome (PPS). Since sunday..

[1400] Suddenly, I am starting to feel the weight of all the piled up schoolwork. Man, I'm still at tutorial One for most of my subjects, except for chemistry. This is not happening....


Time to work, mug, study, be a good boy and listen to mum...


[1600] Burnt all Impresario files inside my computer, proposal templates, sponsorship LOAs, videos and photos.

[1650] Deleted all Impresario files burnt from my harddisk. It was cruel, but it was necessary. (Out of sight, Out of mind. Out of touch, Out of danger.) I had been overwhelmed by emotions from all the happy memories Impresario had given me. It was addictive, but now there's work at hand which needs to be done. Time to rechannel the energy. Time to fight the fire at the doorstep.

[1800] Started on my Lab Reports, die die must finish tonight.

That's it, I'm a MUGGER, I have NO LIFE, but that's it!

- NO SHOPPING ;-(
- NO BLEACH/ NARUTO/ HEROES/ PRISON BREAK
- NO BASKETBALL ;-(
- NO MOVIE...

AND not forgetting...

- NO MAHJONG ;-(
- NO KTV Session...

....till I catch up with schoolwork...

NO LIFE? LIVE IT! BEAR WITH IT!

GET OVER IT!

A Final Tribute to the Good People Who Brought Us All Together..

Our Boss, MR Chris-py.

For his leadership, love and care for all Impresarians, for the Committee Journey Video which brought many of us to tears (GLK included), his countless "Lamb" Jokes and the unforgettable "Zi Mou 18 Luo Han" mahjong game.

Our Vice-Chair, JingYun.

A great leader and awesome lady trap in a little girl's body. Thanks for the guidance of the Biz Mag team and all the hard work behind the scene which none of us got to see.

Our Vice-Chair, JinHui.

Currently overseas on an exchange, she nonetheless sends periodic emails to encourage us and cheer us on. You may nit be physically around, but we know your heart is with IMPRESARIO.

Our Hardworking Secretary, Hui Jing.

For all the tedious paper work and the notes taking and printing before every Impresario Meeting. Not to mention the toughest job of shooting out email arrows to us before every canvassing project such that we are clear of our individual taskings.

Our Money Lady, Trea$urer Tee Rong

For ensuring that we get our reimbursement and that the funds are properly managed. Hopefully we'll have enough cash leftover for our Celebration Party

Our Chief Programmer, Xiao Wei.

Thanks for a great show. All the sleepless nights and preparation to make IMPRESARIO 2007 a success, and yet not a word of complaint or mumbling. Hats off to our awesome Ms Chye!!

Our Ex-Co Babes, Minh Huong & Rui Xian.

Thanks for the post finals treat, the support and the encouragement along the way. You gals rock!!

A Flashback.. (Mar 06)

3rd Stop. Rock Auditorium, Suntec City.

A year ago...


I was a face in the crowd..








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
