What a retarded face.

Anyhowww, I wanted to blog since last week but school was draining me inside out totally. It's a little tiring, crossing the causeway and attending 3hours of lecture with no/minimal break. I found law lectures to be pretty interesting though, probably 'cos of the way my lecturer taught us. Last week was a 6 days schooling week, with first two days of school starting at 0830hrs and also, on a Saturday... Alright, sleepiness is kicking in again! I thought I was gonna be kinda energetic after a shower but NO. It didn't win the battle with the ZZZ monster so... I'm gonna hit the sack first, gotta wake up early later to visit the dentist and shall compose a proper post if I have the time... Soon.

Till then,

Aloha!

It was an awesome day just yesterday.
Despite waking up late because my dumb Blackberry died on me and the alarm didn't get to ring so I jumped up from bed when my mom came in to wake me up, claiming that it's already 7.30am. Guess whattt, it was only 7.18am man! All mothers like to exaggerate the timing and make you rush but oh well, I was indeed 18mins behind time.

Not bathing? No way!
I couldn't afford to go out Singapore without bathing so nonetheless, I still showered, even had a few minutes spare to pack my bag before heading off to Malaysia custom. Anyhow, thank goodness there was bus 170 (Queens Street) for me right after I cleared my passport and hopped onto the bus with Shini, on our way to Diary Farm!

What a surprise!
Just then, after alighting at our destination and random me started feeling my teeth with my tongue and finally... I found the tooth which had a part chipped off. Damn it, it was real! Sigh, the night before, I was munching & grinding on the cereals my mom bought and its texture was harder than those normal cornflakes I usually consume (Post - Blueberry Morning). Yes, after a few mouthful, suddenly I chewed something as hard as a stone and immediately, I spitted out to take a look at it.

Oh no... It can't be real.
First look, I swear it looked like a chipped part of a tooth and then, I went to the toilet to investigate it, looking through my teeth, trying to feel them w my tongue and what's not. Worst part of all, before I could show it to my mom, I dropped it onto the floor and couldn't find it so I gave up after realizing that none of my tooth has been chipped off...

Yes, to my horror...
Hahahaha it was really my tooth!! It's the last second tooth on the bottom of my right. Oh well, what a surprising morning and I told my mom at night when she came and picked me up from custom. Time to visit dentist real soon and get it fixed!

Diary Farmmmm!
We made it in time... Alright, probably 5 - 10mins late but hey, we were the 2nd one to reach! Fauzi was the first to arrive and waited alone for the rest. Runners were with me, so practically, I got there to pass them the runners used for lead climbing and chilled for awhile before heading off to PM with Shini & Edwin.

Prata Shop for breakfast!
Undoubtedly, we were all feeling hungry and breakfast is important! After reaching the terminal & instead of walking to PM straight, we stopped by the prata shop for breakfast. Plain & egg onion pratas, that's what I had while Shini had mee goreng and Edwin had Chicken murtabuk!

Back to Poly Marina.
After a month or so, we finally had awesome weather for some paddling action! It rained so much last month and I didn't bother to go kayaking until the recently sunny weather. Anyhow, there wasn't a single soul there, not even the security guard but main gate wasn't lock so we still managed to get in and lepak while waiting for the guard to be back! Yesss, it was the same Chinese uncle who was on duty and he offered us rambutan to eat while waiting for the technician to get the power supply back.

Oh yeaaaa, sunny weather with clear sea.
Paddling for a few laps before we all started to laze around the pontoon and talk cock sing song and LUAN LUAN HAN (only applicable to me). Oh, Edwin did some somersaults into the water before beaching up and he found fun in it despite doing it all alone... HAHA, #foreveralone!

Buttocks up! Off we goooo!
Ikea meatballz, practically, we headed to Ikea for our lunner (lunch + dinner) and expected, it was all packed with people! Lucky us, found seats in within 5mins and yay, Ikea pastas, meatballz, chicken wings, brownie, chocolate mousse, curry chicken for our meal! It was totaled up to S$44 for all these, their set meals were reasonably priced and we indeed ordered quite a number of food!

Even thought it was just the 3 of us,
but the companion was awesome! From tying of knots (ONLY US KNOW WHAT IS IT ABOUT) to choosing who and who if given a choice, disturbing me and asking me to give birth to 11 sons and from a football club to fight against Edwin's 11 sons, discussing about this and that. HAHA, it all sums up to total fun and also, I get to physically disturb Edwin as well which I'm used to anyway lol.

& that, marked the 2nd fulfilling day of 2012!
I hope everyday would be as fun-filling and happy!

Till then,
NJ.

Hello, people!

Firstly, HAPPY AWESOME 2012 TO YOU GUYS!
May it be a smooth-sailing and a fruitful year for us! Hope everyone has come up with all their new year resolutions, targets to meet, things to achieve and will be completing all these by the end of 2012! :D

Next, I would like to say...
It was a great start of 2012 for me! A well-spent night at Grand Hyatt for RSN NYE Ball 2011 and then, heading to Jiayao's house and meet up with the rest of the SPA peeps to laugh the night away, embraced a great 2012 morning!

So... New Yea Eve!
As promised Muxing to go for his RSN (Republic of Singapore Navy) NYE ball, I met up with him at Woodlands before heading down to Orchard and surprisingly, we bumped into his friend at the escalator exiting to Orchard MRT.

A few of us chilled at Far East Plaza for some Yakun toasts before heading to Grand Hyatt for the event. We met up with the rest outside the hotel before going in and I only know there were Amos, Jiahao, Jeremy, Vivek and their respective partners dining with us at the same table. Surprisingly, it was not as awkward as I thought it would be, maybe because Muxing's friends are all around my age and we pretty much clicked well since we could disturb Muxing with his vegetarianism, especially the one we met at the escalator (whose name was not really introduced to me). He was the one who kept on coming over and keep toasting with Muxing, trying to make him drink his glass of red wine or purposely place a plate of unfinished roasted duck meat in front of him. I mean, SPA people always do that to him and now, even his navy friends too.

Anyhow, it was easy to engage into conversations with most of them, some would take the initiative to start the ball rolling too so it wasn't that bad after all. Anyhow, guess who was the emcee for the night? It was Hossan Leong, oh my god. I swear he had indeed entertained us well enough for the final night of 2011 with all his jokes and singing cum dancing. Oh, even their lucky draws were all expensive stuffs, from wine or champagne to massagers to iPod Shuffle to iPod Touch to LCD TV to S$1000 worth of traveling incentives! A splendid night with RSN, I must say!!

Countdown for 2012!
Yes, for my countdown for 2012, it took place in the ball itself whereas Felicia's gang (Jiayao, Edwin, Yutai) headed to Woodlands Waterfront to catch the fireworks, Thomas & Shini were sending Guoshu to Clarke Quay and ended up getting stuck in the traffic congestion while coming over to Orchard... SO, Thomas spent his last few moments of 2011 with Shini, which both counted down in the car with the radio. HAHAHAHA epic countdown but I'm sure it's gonna be memorable. For Muxing and me, we counted down with the rest of RSN members in the ball, toasting with everyone. The only thing missing is the FIREWORKS! I didn't get to see any this year but nonetheless, it was still great! :>

Many thanks to Thomas and Shini who came over and pick us up to Jiayao's house which we then spent our first 2012 morning over there. It was filled with nonsense, nonsense and more nonsense! Of course, there were also bursts of laughter everywhere in the house. We did everything in SPA style cos when we were playing street fighter on PS3, loser has to do 25 pushups, not excluding girls at all! HAHA, it got us hyped up even though we were merely just the audience.

Then, we started play card games, from Cluedo to Pictureka! Wowwwww, Cluedo was mad fun, trying to infer and filter the unwanted cards and guessing the location, suspect and weapon for that particular crime! We got addicted playing it then we finally started with Pictureka whom Muxing had to read the rules and tell us how to play! HAHA, that game was nonsensical man, we practically just trying to fit in words we could find from the card, it's like saying black is white colour. With all these cards playing, we actually played it for hours, from 330am to 7am before they started playing boxing game on PS3 (I DON'T LIKE, it didn't feel like I'm punching my opponent unlike for street fighters) and then half of their soccer match on PS3 as well.

Strong like a robot.
Oh yes, this means that most of us stayed awake through the night (Muxing, Thomas, Edwin concussed for at least more than an hour, Felicia and Yutai took a power nap) and I gave in when they played 10mins of soccer on PS3 in the morning. I sank into deep slumber within a few seconds and finally... Off we go for McDonald's breakfast at Yewtee!

Teehee, first meal of 2012!
First and official breakfast with SPA peeps for 2012! How awesome it is! It's like my first day of 2012 was really legendary spent with my awesomest friends alive and I hope this tradition continues and may our friendships will never waiver! (Insert many heart-shape here)

Alright, done with breakfast and Jiayao sent the northlanders home (but Kranji for me since I'm going back Malaysia) and Thomas was the one sending the westlanders home! Yes, an awesome night/day before my parents picked me up at custom and headed for Ah Soon Bak kut teh again... I should have just waited for breakfast with parents man but fret not, I still had 2 pieces of taupok, 1 piece of bak kut and 1 small bowl of doughstick with them! Tell me how great was my first day of 2012!

On a side note,
2011 had all its ups and downs, all of them taught me wonderful lessons. I'm glad I have a bunch of awesome friends, like people from SPA whom I'm really really close with. People like Shini, who's so helpful and will be there for anyone at anytime, Felicia and Jiayao, who would ask us for supper and gathering weekly, even coming to pick us up or drive us home! Fennec Foxes, always the cheerful pack of foxes, juniors from SPA, like Edwin Grylls (BJF, KTB, STRESS, CHAPOLATEY, PBYX, MONG) and Jianwei (BRUDDERRRRR) who are the closest juniors to me, showing their care and concern for me despite being younger than me! Many thanks are not enough to express my gratitude so may we all hangout together always! :D

Alright, till then!
I hope you guys had an awesome final night of 2011 and a legendary welcome of 2012!

This year is gonna be a fantabulous one for everyone!

With many loves,
NJ.

Merry Christmas, Everybody!
