Besides updating about events that happened many months ago, the more recent happenings should also be blogged about. So this post is not gonna be on my penang trip part 2, that would have to take awhile to be up. Instead, i will be blogging about my first week of school and what i've been doing about during the holidays.
As we have all been split up into different specializations so most of us are not classmates anymore. On the first day, i felt very awkward when entering the class cos i don't know everyone in the class and i don't know who in my year 1 class is in the same class as me. I've spoken to some of my new classmates during this first week so now i don't feel so awkward anymore. I got into Human Resource Management + Entrepreneur. Those common modules that everyone has to study no matter what specialization bores me but i'm kind of loving the HR modules. Probably cos that has been my interest.
That's all for my first week of school and i shall move on to what i did during the holidays.
On the first week of the holidays which is the last week of February, i tried to tidy up and beautify my room a little. Here's a video i did on the before and after tidying up and beautifying my room + a tour of my room.
Starting from March, i went cruise fortnightly with a total of 4 times throughout the whole holiday.
The first trip was to KL/Port Klang where i did go down the ship for shopping at Mid Valley Mega Mall.
Surprisingly, i didn't took any pictures or videos on the second trip although i brought my camera except for camwhoring pictures that i took using my iPad. This was a to nowhere trip.
I posted this on my instagram and tumblr showing that when i was camwhoring while looking at the sea, the wind blew my hair and end up covering my face.
For the third trip which was also a to nowhere trip, i decided to do a video of the whole trip instead of taking pictures as usual cos i've already had too many pictures of the ship.
For the fourth trip, it was to KL/Port Klang again but this time i didn't go down the ship for any shopping or tour.
Besides doing my room and going on cruise, i also had 3 meet ups with my ITE clique. The first meet up was to find job with MT and SY. However, it was a going home with nothing search. The second meet up was also with MT and SY but is to enjoy.
We went to Sentosa Adventure Cove and spent the whole afternoon there.
On the third meet up we went to Orchard for shopping.
And finally all 4 of us were present! (SY was the photographer)
That sums up my holidays and the rest of the days was just spent with my daily holiday routine.
This was almost half a year ago and finally here comes the post. Since its that long already, i probably won't remember the actual details so i'm going to do like a photo log.

The last stop of the tour was dinner at this place. I didn't had any picture of the place or food so i snap a screenshot of my check-in on foursquare instead. Its is a open air foodcourt that sells char kway teow, chicken wing, prawn mee, satay and many more of those food that hawkers or coffeshops would have.
This sums up my day 1 and 2 of the trip. Continue to keep coming back for the next part of my penang trip!
This is my first post of the new year so first of all, Happy 2013! It's been months since i last blogged and yes i've got overdue posts from 2012 but since its 2013, i shall start my comeback with something from this new year:
Chinese New Year Cruise Trip
The day before CNY eve, i went onboard Superstar Virgo with my family. There was nothing much on the first day. The only fun thing i did was drinking and listening to songs! Other activities i did were eating, gambling and sleeping.
My drink for the night while listening to songs
Mum's drink
Woke up at noon on CNY eve, went for lunch, walk around, then off to the casino.
Photo with the decorations at the reception is a must!
Fast forward till evening, when the real fun begins!
Reunion Dinner
Our food and yusheng
While waiting for food means photo taking!
Lucky Draw
After dinner, dad and i went for the lucky draw and its an invited only event. My dad was invited and he could only bring one guest so he brought me along. But sadly, he didn't win anything.
Drinking and Music
Went drinking and listening to songs again the second night, with dad this time while waiting for the countdown party to start.
Our drinks!
Countdown Party
30mins before midnight the countdown party started with songs and dance.
Including the famous gangnam style!
After the countdown, went to the casino with the hope that our luck will change for the better since its the new year but apparently, no!
Next day, by the time we woke up, it was time for us to evacuate the cabin. We had breakfast on the ship and then it was home sweet home.
Since November 2012, i've been going cruise every month but i won't be posting about all the trips cos i don't to be repeating the same story here. If the trip is special like this CNY one, then i will blog about it. On a side note, this march i will be going cruise twice, one next week and another the following week!
Stay tune to my blog too as my overdue posts on my penang trip will be up, i won't say soon but i hope its soon!
This post is a continuation of my previous post on my cruise trip about a month ago.
When dad and i woke up, mum and aunt were already at the casino. Shortly after we went to find them, the casino was closing as the ship was arriving at Redang Island. Went for lunch after that.
Sweet and sour chicken
Fried Pork, my favourite!
Fish, sorry for the blur pic.
Fried rice
After lunch, dad and aunt went to their respective rooms to rest while mum and i went for a swim, relax at the aqua pool and jacuzzi. We went for ice cream and shopping after our swim before going back to our rooms to get together with dad and aunt for dinner. So far we have been having chinse food so this time, we went for buffet.
Some of what i ate
After dinner, we went for a walk at the roof of the ship and enjoy the wind.
This was at the roof of the ship
Then we went to the casino after the ship had departed. This time, i gambled. On the first day i was just walking around and seeing the adults gamble.
Then, dad and i went to watch a performance at the theatre while mum and aunt stayed at the casino. After the performance, we went back to the casino till it was time for supper.
After supper, as usual i went back to my cabin while the adults continue their games at the casino.
Next morning, we all got up and went for breakfast.
After breakfast, we went back to our cabins, pack our bags and got ready for disembarkation. The ship arrived in Singapore at about 1pm and shortly after arrival, we disembark the ship.
As i'm typing all these, my next cruise trip has already been confirmed! This upcoming trip will be my 3rd time cruising this year. Counting down 2 weeks from now and i'm very looking forward to it! :)
Finally here's the first post on my cruise trip i went with my parents and aunt about a month ago! There will be another post coming up soon on Day 2 and 3, so stay tuned!
We boarded the ship in the evening and went straight for dinner after putting down our bags in the cabin.
Soup and chicken
Vegetables with abalone and char siew
Fish
After dinner, we went for a walk and bring my aunt for a tour around the ship cos it was her first time crusing.
At a part of the ship and this was also where we saw the sunset!
Just 2 hours later, we went to eat again but i didn't take pictures of what i ate this time.
After eating, the ship had departed and we continued tour on the ship while waiting for the casino to be opened.
Once the casino was opened, the rest of the evening was spent in there till it was time for supper. No picture of my supper too.
After supper, the adults continued their games in the casino and as for me, i went back to my cabin, showered, played iPad and call it a day.
On Sep 20, i went out with my ITE close friends to bugis. First we went to shop at bugis street before heading to check out the newly revamp Bugis+. We felt hungry and wanted to find somewhere to eat and ended up at DartsSoul Cafe.
It was a cafe to eat, drink and play darts. After eating, we tried playing darts as it was quite cheap, only $1 per person per game. We played 2 games so that makes it $2 per person. It was my first time playing and i found it quite fun!
The boss of the cafe gave us a challenge. If anyone of us gets a bullseye, he will treat us a pie. Surprisingly, my first shot got the bullseye and it was plain luck! It was really anyhow shoot one.
These are what i ate and drank.
1.Ice blended mocha
2.Sausage puff
3.The free chicken pie for hitting bullseye at darts!
Siyan brought her polaroid camera and so we took lots of pictures!
Out of the many pictures we took, i brought home these two.
I enjoyed the outing very much and i look forward to our next meetup! :)
I'm just back from Penang yesterday and it adds to the huge amount of things i have to blog about so i'm gonna try to be hardworking in preparing the blog posts and publish them when i feel its time to update my blog.
Ok, back to topic. I went to watch Resident Evil with Shafikah and Shirley on 18 Sep so i'm gonna do sort of a movie review here.
My thoughts about the movie was disgusting, gross and somewhat scary.
This picture (view at your own risk) will fully illustrate the gross and disgusting part. It was mad gross! EEKKKKKK!!! I didn't want to put it here cos i'm afraid it will scare you and me. I also don't want my blog to look gross and scary.
The parts where a monster swallowed a man and a little girl was scary and gross! I also got a mini heart attack when these monsters suddenly appear.
Before i watched the movie, i watched the trailer and the genre was action and horror. I didn't agree with the horror part after i watched the trailer cos i see no horror in it but after i watched the movie, i fully agree with the horror part.
So overall, i will agree it was a good movie but i won't want to watch this movie again. I didn't watch the rest of the other series of this show and will not want to watch. As i don't know much about this movie so watching it the first time was a surprise to me but i'm really scared to watch it a second time.
So after the movie, we went to shop for a short while before going to eat at McDonalds. After eating, we walked the the MRT and from there, went on our individual ways.
