Wow..it has been quite long since I've updated...
Michelle has certainly been busy..but busy with all the wrong things..haha..definitely studying is out of the picture...
However, I cant deny that school hasnt taken up much of my time. Though I dont go to lessons often, assignments, projects and presentations has taken up quite some time. And, they are the main source of my stress and worries. It still isnt the end, more is still to come...sighHhhhh....
Lucky, to balance up my life, friends are always there for me...Jus when I need my break.. =)
Recently, I've also been busy monitoring the stock market..becoz I joined the Poems Stock Challenge. Its soooo exciting to earn so much money in a day. Through this, I've learnt more abt the stock market, and have seen for myself how risky it can be. Apart from that, Wilson also taught me a lot on how to play the market well...with his pointers, I made more money. However, the more I am into the game, somehow, I feel stressed. Its probably becoz of the expectations that I had given myself....Well, its jus a game..no point getting stressed over it...haha
Anyway, abt 2 weeks ago, meet up with TJ, Denise and Wilson. The plan was to go to Keppel Marina to chill and then Mahjong at TJ's house throughout the night...
Since TJ and Denise had offsite at Vivo, we planned to meet at 5pm. I had nothing on on friday, so I stayed home and waited for time to pass. Meanwhile, I felt a little sleepy and decided to take a nap. When I was napping, I kept having the nagging feeling that I've slept longer than I should. I turned my head to face the clock, and immediately jumped out of my bed. IT WAS 5PM!
I was like super late. Msg-ed Denise to tell her I will be late. Ended up reaching at 6.45pm. =x OpPpsss...Sorry! Haha. Since we wanted to play mahjong, the only place available was TJ's house. However, he only had the MJ table, but not the tiles. Initially, Wilson is supposed to bring. But last minute, he had to go for interview. So I ended up bringing them. I was pathetic. I was running super late, the weather was pouring like nobody's business and the MJ tiles were sooooo heavy! I had to carry the umbrella in one hand and the super heavy tiles on the other. ArgH.
Upon reaching Vivo, I hurriedly gave the tiles to TJ. So heavy! Then we headed to Old Airport Rd for dinner. YumMY! Ordered a variety of food and shared. Super full! Then, we drove back to Vivo for Keppel Marina! Denise and I started our snapshots, which the guys hated. The aim was to take ugly photos of them. Haha!
At Keppel Marina:
Denise and the Guys:
And obviously she like Zijing better..haha
Me with me fav orange-volka! Denise with her hoegaarden and Wilson with his Asahi..
Guys at play:
Since the guys were busy playing and watching the Olympics, we have no choice but to continue cam-whoring..haha!
Our one and only grp photo! 
Just being boh-liao taking pic with different colour of the "tear" figurine:
After the drinks, we went to TJ's house for MJ! Anyway, its kinda the first time that TJ is playing MJ. So we taught him along the way. Not bad for a beginner. Learned quite fast, but still not good enough to win. Hee. Initially, I was losing. I was left with the big chips and lost almost all the small ones. My luck wasnt good to begin with. Whatever cards I wanted nv came. As I heard from my uncle, if during MJ your luck is no good, then no point making big tais, coz your cards wun come, so I decided to play it small. Just aim for 1-tai and win. Slowly but surely, it worked. I felt my luck was slowly building up. In addition, a trip to the toilet totally boosted my change in luck. After that, I continuously won 5-limit TWICE, 4-tai once and 2-tai once. The feeling was SHIOK! But I had to recoup my losses. Denise and Wilson are good players. Lost sooo much to them in the 1st round. Finally it was my turn! Yay!
During Mahjong breaks:
Ended up Denise was the big winner, TJ the big loser, I was 2nd and Wilson broke-even. After our game, it was already 6plus in the morning. Headed to Serene Centre for MacDonalds' breakfast! TJ's treat again, coz he lost MJ. Was so hungry! Nice TJ sent me home coz I was carrying the tiles. =) So nice of him...
Was damn tired...when home to get beauty's rest....
Then yesterday, was assignment deadline day. In the morning, I got a shock when my macbook suddenly switched off while I was listening to music....
My first thought was, "DIE!! My assignment!! How how how how how!!!!" Was thinking of rushing down to epi centre and ask them to help retrieve my data. I kept trying the "ON" button, but it wouldnt work. After feeling shock for a good 5 mins, I finally came to my senses and thought, "I think my lappy no batt leh...". Immediately, I jumped to my table and plucked in the cable. Switched on the mac. YES!! It worked!! I really scare the shit out of myself. I am damn blur....haha
Anyway, went to school to hand in the assignment and headed down for wii-ing session. Meet BQ, KS and GWS for dinner and proceeded on to the few hours of fun. We challenged each other on the games and loser had to drink. Haha. 1st was 100m race. Since I was the weakest contender, I thought I would be last. Luckily I was second!!! No need to drink...haha. Proceeded on to Bowling, I was 1st...and they were shocked at my score. I hit a record high of 225 eventually... =P We then proceeded to our favourite, Rayman 1 and 2. It was damn fun playing these games with 4 ppl. Exciting! In the end, all of them had to drink, except me. I drank orange juice only...haha..
We all slept at 2 plus. I knew I was going to die becoz I had to wake up early the next morning...as I would be meeting Wilson, TJ and Denise for cycling. Eventually woke up at 10 plus, went for breakfast and got ready to set off at like 12.25pm, when I was supposed to meet them at 12.30pm. I panicked. Becoz TJ says the person who is late must pay for lunch and cycling. So, decided to cab down. Cab fare cost me $17.00 for a mere 20 min ride. ArgHH..so ex. In the end, TJ and Denise arrived the latest!! They came together at 1pm...TJ unfair lor..go fetch Denise...
After meeting up, went to Upper East Coast Rd for my fav prawn mee and nghoi hiong...Had a filling lunch and headed for our cycling. Wilson seriously cycles as slow as he eats. He claims he hasnt been on a bike since 8 to 10 yrs ago and have forgotten how to ride. For goodness sake, cycling is a skill, how to do ever forget? Anyway he cycled at a tortoise pace and eventually, we didnt even manage to reach one out of two ends of ECP. Lousy coverage today..Normally with Amanda they all, we can cover quite a distance..
Anyway we stopped at Bedok Jetty for some photos. Thats when Denise realised that she forgot to bring her charged battery for her cam. So we could at most manage abt 10 shots from her camera, and the rest is history! So much for cam-whoring today. Haha...The guys are sure happy that her camera died on her...so no more ugly photos of them...Well, but they are wrrrooonnnggg!!
After cycling, went for dinner at Carls' Jr at Big Splash together with Lincoln and headed down to Chijmes after that. Why Chijmes? Becoz the 2 soccer fans wanted to catch the big match today. Unfortunately, Chijmes was packed with soccer fans and we could not find seats to settle down. The only place is the balcony where ppl can stand and watch. They stood there getting ready for the match. So me and Denise found our little spot on the ground some 2 metres away. However, Wilson didnt want us to jus sit around jus becoz he wants to watch his match. So out of frustration, decided to skip the match altogether. Thats like so sweet. But anyway Denise and I really didnt mind jus sitting there. It would be like ultimate gossip time!
In the end, we headed to Raffles Hotel to eat some desserts at Seah St Deli. Dessert was ok. Not really fantastic. Most probable due to the super filing dinner we had. Abt 9 plus, TJ had to leave for his friend's Bachelor's Party. So we all left and headed home. Now I am damn freaking tired. Off to bed...Pictures uploading soon.. |
