well..delayed by 20mins.. had to wait for quite some time before we could board.. and when we finally boarded.. it wasn't that much of a disappointment afterall.. just that... this was what i had to face for four hours! gosh..
actually already had mental preparation that there wouldn't be any personal tv.. except for one screen in front of everyone to share.. really boring initially.. just started sleeping immediately after the smooth takeoff.. woke up when they began pouring drinks for us and giving us some nuts to chew on.. that perked me up alittle.. and i didnt feel sleepy anymore..
the plane...so i took out the Choice Theory book to carry on reading.. if not i won't be able to finish before i have to return to longkuan.. so it was the longest chapter ever.. and i took quite long to finish.. when i finally finished.. it was time for dinner on board.. and i ate their fish wif rice.. acceptable lorx.. yeah..as usual.. i liked the bread wif butter.. and their desert which was cake wif a little cream and strawberry jam.. not that bad..
right at the last few minutes of the flight.. i tuned in to one of their in-flight radio stations.. and guess what.. they played zi you bu bian by JJ la! one of my fav songs.. and so i guess becos of that.. i didn't think that china airlines was that bad afterall..
arrived at the City Suites hotel at around 9 plus.. and gosh lar!! the hotel's so nice.. too bad we moving hotels every night lorx.. there were lyk 60 channels in the TV and I hav one king size bed to myself! woo hoo!! the toilet rox.. everything rox..
but of cos.. still thinking abt the ppl back in s'pore.. (= and thats about it.. end of day 1.. lol..
oh ya.. we met mdm. lian.. (my chinese teacher in p6) at the Taoyuan Airport immigrations.. apparently we took the same flight as her.. lol.. what a small world!
pictures taken on the cab..
oh ya.. at the immigration.. smt very funny happened.. i wanted to write a few last details on the departure card.. and my super lousy lao pok pok pen dismantled itself the moment the tip touched the card.. and the ink thingy.. it just exploded up into the air which made me look totally like a fool lars.. lol.. and it was lyk i saw the thing fly up too.. so did zhi chao.. and how i wish i caught that on video.. but nvm.. luckily the guy behind me.. so kindly lent me a pen and i makde it just in time.. okay.. back to watching harry potter le.. =)
before boarding the plane..
back at terminal one!!

hai.. really quite sian to blog liao ler..
but well.. woke up at 6.30am this morning to get ready to go shenzhen.. arrived dere at around 10plus.. to eleven after immigration checkpoints..
didn't really shop much at shenzhen.. only bought another pair of shoes.. and yup.. had lunch at da jia le.. in shen zhen.. and there we also saw alot of goods that were made fake by making some adjustments to the slogan or to the logo.. lol.. 
took the mtr to lao jie.. yup.. just above.. and dats where we shopped.. a total of 45 min train ride from tsim sha tsui station... and when we were on the way back.. i practically stood for the whole journey back.. legs were aching totally.. phew..
came back to the hotel to rest for awhile before leaving again for dinner on the first night.. harbour city.. and yup.. kkm's aunt's restaurant.. woo hoo.. good food again! yay! ahhas..
came out super full.. and took a few pictures of the cruise that docked at the harbour..
went back to Ladies market for the 3rd time to finish up our shopping.. 3rd time sia.. lol..
came back to the hotel around 11.30pm and playred a few rounds of mahjong and 3 ppl bridge.. one round i hu due to skill / luck but the other.. hahas.. i forced zhi chao to throw the tile that i wanted.. =P screened his hand alittle.. lol..okay so yup.. dats 2 rounds for tonight.. as for 3 ppl bridge.. i will always remember this very game where i thought i couldn't reach my target for the number of sets.. and to meet it.. i needed to win the remaining 5.. and wif abit of luck frm kevin breaking trump using 1 trump card.. my remaining 5 cards were all confirmed sets as long as i washed out all the trumps first.. as i had the ace king queen and jack.. so after all trumps are out.. already assured that my last card.. the ten of clubs was the sure win.. so woo hoo!! calculation sia.. and very much watching of the game..
tmr going back to singapore liao ler.. =( indescribable feeling bah.. sighx..
fried rice for dinner! at da jia le..
curved escalators at times square!!
ok.. tmr going shenzhen..
first thing we did was to have breakfast.. and den we started looking around.. saw the panda bears.. literally lyk toys right.. hahas..
and the dolphins... dere was nth else much to do in the first half of ocean park.. with the big hot air balloon under maintenance and the go kart.. hav to pay money wan.. hai.. we took cable car over to the second half.. looking at the panoramic view of the ocean and it's horizon..
these pictures were taken at the Ocean Park Tower.. where we could see the whole of ocean park at the highest point of the tower.. sat rides like the Dragon.. rollercoaster which inverted lyk a total of 3 times!!! oh my gosh lar.. and abyss which was the most heart-throbbing for me.. it's lyk we were taken to a super high point of the machine.. and suddenly released at that highest point.. brakes are applied somewhere at the quarter mark.. and we dipped down again.. for the second time.. no joke man.. i believe my heart skipped a beat or two.. the viking was rather fun though it was alittle scary at the high ends.. and den we saw that the dragon was spoilt lors.. it was lyk stuck in the middle of the track and stewards were guiding the ppl back.. lol.. luckily we took it earlier.. =P
wanted to take a few more rides but time was running out.. had to meet the grp at the exit at 4.30pm.. so we missed the raging river and mine train.. oh well.. sent back to the hotel before we started making our way again to Times Square where we were treated to another sumptious omeal at another of kkm's aunt's restaurant.. really am thankful that 2 meals have already been provided.. plus it's good food lorx..
hairy crab!! muaahahaha..
and so.. late night mahjong again where i won once by luck.. hahas.. actually.. mahjong is much of a lucky game.. but oh well.. forgot 2 mention i won twice last night.. hahas..
hope the ppl back at s'pore are doing well.. especially those i am close to.. PAE registration closed today.. longkuan's a levels ended around 5 pm todae.. and yup.. hope everyone's well.. safe and sound..
so for the past 3 nights.. i have been the one staying up to write my entries while kkm sleeps.. lol.. oh well.. not blaming him but.. u know.. it's always nice to hav company.. oh well.. signing off now..
well.. you guys won't actually believe whats the heart breaking thing that happened today.. that is for me to break the record of the number of things that i bought solely for myself in a day.. nvr in my entire life have i bought so many things for myself.. with nearly four hours of walking excluding time taken to get to different streets and travelling by MTR.. altogether we went to 3 different streets on our own today..
today began with a half day city tour that was part of the package.. it was $170 HK which was quite worth as it covered breakfast and lunch at 2 different restaurants.. breakfast was great but lunch... hahas.. nope.. not that good.. we were taken to Repulse Bay..
Fishing village where we also saw the giant floating Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.. ticket ride was $50 HK.. oh well..
we were then taken to Victoria Peak.. where we could see almost the entire view of the Hong Kong island.. took amny pictures of course.. but the most frustrating thing was that the tour guide actually tricked us by saying that the toilet at that peak was the most expensive toilet in HK or something liddat.. the five us actually believed and when we went to the toilet.. DANG!!
after lunch it was free and easy for us on our own and we went to walk at Apliu Street where all the electronic stuff were there.. Ladies' Market.. there was also the sportswear street but were too tired to walk anymore.. so we took a short cab journey back to our hotel.. resting for the rest of the night..
so altogether.. 2 belts.. 2 long sleeve shirts.. 2 short sleeve shirts.. 2 long sleeve tee shirts.. xin tong ahrs.. nvr pamper myself until so liddat before.. getting really tired now.. signing off!
well.. well.. lets recap for the past days events..
arrived at changi airport terminal one at around 8.30am.. i was the earliest.. well.. cos my father had to go to work so yeah.. waited for everyone else to come first before we checked in.. for nano kevin.. probably their first time taking plane.. so yeah.. it got everyone rather excited.. for me though.. it was my first time on cathay pacific and my first time in hong kong!
flight seemed alittle borring as i hav watched Transformers twice already.. and i spent most of the movie spoiling the movie for zhi chao cos i told him wat was gonna happen nxt.. dere wasn't much to do lars.. well.. the fish rice was rather nice.. although i don't really know why the chicken rice was the more favourite choice.. as when the air stewardess came to us.. she told us that there was only fish rice left..
touched down at HKIA at around 3pm plus.. and by the time we checked out of the airport and collected our luggages.. it was about 3.45pm already.. spent some time waiting for the tour guides to lead us to the bus where we will be dispatched to our respective hotels..
the hotel room was a real shocker.. i mean REAL... everyone was complaining and even i was stumped at the size of the room.. this was about all the room was.. excluding the toilet..
our room number.. 
seriously pathetic.. a pity my 3 other friends had to squeeze into the same small room.. hai.. wif an extra bed of course..
we took MTR down to Tsim Sha Tsui where we met kkm's aunt who had a restaurant at harbour city.. WAHH!! we were treated to a big feast lars.. and all of us were really grateful to his aunt.. this is her restaurant.. with toothpicks provided below..
came back to our hotel area and spent some time at Temple Street where kkm bought a cuple of stuff which he wanted.. unfortunately.. for me.. i haven't actually bought anything yet.. oh well.. if u guys know me...
well.. so i guess the highlight of the day was the treat to the supremely sumptious food at kkm's aunt's restaurant.. it was totally amazing.. and cheers to kkm's aunt! hahas..
alr beginning to miss e ppl back dere.. gotta sleep now.. nitex..
delicious satays from the bbq!! met kkm at bedok to hav lunch..but due to some reasons he actually made me wait for lyk 45 min i think.. arnd dere.. but nvm..it's okay.. hahas.. and den we went to eat kfc and i tried for the first time their pepper meltz thingy..ya.. not bad lar.. but i told kkm dey quite smart.. cos they lyk use the banditto pocket layer.. popcorn chicken.. and the cheese fries cheese all fuse into one that thing lor.. so yup.. but still it was rather nice..
okay.. so we waited at tanah merah mrt station for the hourly shuttle bus to come.. and we didn't know the time slots for the bus to come.. so we ended up waiting half an hour for the bus to come.. so we played draw bridge while waiting for the bus to come..
arrived at the chalet at abt 3pm.. and we started playing a little bit of mahjong.. did a little preparation for the bbq before going to play pool and bowling.. wahh.. my pool lan dao.. dunno wat happened sia.. totally off form or smt.. and bowling.. still okay lar.. 3rd highest.. although all our scores werent that fantastic after all..lol..
den mrs sim came to donate some stuff for our bbq! yay.. hahas.. cheers to her.. and wif satay and stingray.. wahh.. our bbq pro liao ler lors.. so aft bowling we all started to prepare for the bbq.. guys start the fire while the girls open the food wrappings and stuff liddat.. and dey were having so much difficulty in opening the rice.. the wan that comes wif the satay.. and yar.. in the end.. after all the effort.. nobody actually ate it.. lol..
spent the whole night playing bridge and dai di.. and mahjong.. and time passed almost so fast.. it was already 6am in the morning.. lol! so we started boiling water and eat cup noodles for breakfast.. quite a no. of us also had to rush back to sch for PAE briefing marhs.. so in the end call cab into the chalet to bring us out to tanah merah mrt station.. actually no intention of staying overnight wan.. but thx to cy and hx.. and also kkm lar.. i somehow managed to convince my parents let me stay overnight.. so came home to bathe and change into sch u before leaving for sch again..
wahh..den super tired sia.. lyk walking zombie liddat.. fell asleep on the bus.. and yeah..totally mann.. struggled to keep my eyes open and pay attention to the briefing.. aft briefing we all go crash kkm's house.. muahaha.. den me and him ended up sleeping lol.. while nano fumbled wif his guitar and kevin wif his new psp.. so sleep sleep sleep.. slept until 3 sia.. den started to feel hungry so dey go down go buy packed food for me lors.. yay..thanx.. and yup.. def 3 hrs of sleep nt enough.. i so wanted to go back to sleep again.. played 1 more round of bridge.. before they actually left to go swimming while i made my way home.. so yup.. slept from 5 to 7 again.. and lol.. do i feel lyk a pig..
well.. just want to thank the ppl who organised the chalet for us.. who put in so much effort into planning lars.. but unfortunately.. response wasn't very good so inevitably they wld feel discouraged and tt it was a failure.. but nonetheless.. thanks to dee jee and hongyi! yupps.. looking forward to nxt year's chalet..
so.. i guess i'm getting on wif life.. and yeah.. leaving my past behind.. and learn to accept reality..
WELL.. the day that i have been waiting for.... for a very very long time.. now that it has really arrived.. gosh.. it doesn't even feel lyk it.. am i that emo? lol..
the very last paper ended around 4.30.. and then it was FREEDOM!!! MUAHAHA.. but then guess wat.. it didnt even feel lyk it.. we walked out of school.. and even spent a solid 5 minutes standing at our same spot.. (the spot we call the sang spot.. deciding what to do or where to go next).. for 5 solid minutes! can u beat that.. everyone else had actually left school.. but the 3 of us.. sighx... *shakes head..
we ended up going to tampines mall to go walk walk.. in the end we merely took the escalator up and after a few rounds around the mall.. we took the escalator down.. lol.. and thats all we did.. 1 fren had to leave for dinner at home while i intended to have dinner wif the other.. and we had it around 6 plus.. cos he said that he was hungry.. and okay lor..pei him go eat kfc.. den he went to order first.. and after which.. he started eating.. and i went to get my food.. and halfway through.. he actually told me he eat finish already he will zao.. and den i was lyk wth.. liddat lor.. crap sia.. den he tell me he dun wan to miss the 7pm show on channel 8... and lol!!! it struck me that him saying that he was hungry was actually crap.. lyk wa seh..this kinda ppl also hav.. and dere was i.. all alone.. eating at kfc.. because of him.. pang seh-er.. then took bus home and actually reached home before 7.30.. pro right.. last day of o levels leh!!! gosh.. i guess my way of celebrating it.. really thrashed other ppl... of course.. "thrashed"..
well.. it's over..yup.. but it's lyk mann!! what on earth am i doing.. staying at home.. but of course.. good luck to all bio peeps! hahas..
so this marks the end of the o levels.. and this also marks the beginning of a new phase in my life....
hey ppl.. really sorry.. i know i haven't been blogging for ages.. no wait.. decades.. no wait.. centuries.. or even milleniums.. but oh well.. i just haven been blogging.. can't actually believe i'm posting now.. woo hoo.. haha..
well... m feeling rather tired now.. especially after all that has happened.. if im not tired i must be mad.. first thing had geog mcq this morning.. fairly do-able.. but yeah.. messed up abit.. oh well.. no one's perfect i guess..
having been out of the blogging scene for so long.. i guess i really don't know what much to sae.. but yeah.. it's just that the past few months have beenr rather hectic.. struggling wif my own emotional struggles.. studies.. even landed myself into what they call the Enhanced Study Programme.. sighx.. but oh well.. i guess it really benefitted me.. in a way to be more disciplined and self-motivated towards my studies.. well.. just lyk what everyone else might say.. i mugged lyk i nvr mugged before.. hahas..
and 2 more papers left.. both on nxt monday.. and it's freedom.. freedom from the past 3 weeks.. past few months.. and perhaps even a year.. after all that i hv gone through... how i wish it cld be simply forgotten.. especially the emotions.. definitely i wun want to forget my studies.. haha.. but yeah.. it's nvr tat easy.. it's just lyk it has already become part of u.. a part of what u hv become.. and yup.. it will exist for as long as u live kinda thing..but sighx.. life's liddat..
im just thankful for those around me.. i believe many of u will agree wif me that it's ppl around u that keep u going.. keep u moving.. no one can make it through life on their own... life is all abt companionship..
am glad i started blogging again.. otherwise i may just lose touch frm it.. but yup.. signing off.. =)
