IT Show 2009

Went to Suntec City for the IT Show with Dad and Brother as I am intending to buy an external hard disk drive. Didn't bought any in the end as there were so many people and I spent most of my time squeezing than seeing and get to know more about the products.

The space there were rather limited. There were times when there was only a small narrow path in between two stalls. As there were lots of people walking, one can't stay long to have a detailed look at the products.

Some of the discounts are not genuine at all. For on particular product, it was sold at $x at level 4. It was a discounted price for a few sets only. The rest were $(x+y). However at level 6, the same product was sold at $x as the original price.

I think the duration can be stretched longer. Too many people squeezing at one time doesn't really helps in the sales. Having the event over a longer period of time may incur a higher cost of production. But I believe that they will obtain way higher sales to cover that.

The shops around did somehow benefit from this event. Many people after going for the show, went to the shopping centers around to shop as well. I bought a new flip flop for myself at Muji, love it. It's my first flip flop! =D While I was there at the shop, many other people were there shopping there as well. From what they were carrying in their hands, I can see that they have just left the convention center.

For this event, it's really an eye-opener for me.

Super Mini Wushu Gathering at Lot One

After the NDP training, a group of us went to Yew Tee Point to have dinner. As there we so many of us and we couldn't find tables to fit all of us, we broke into two groups. Some chatting and bonding session. I didn't eat anything as Grandma had cooked my dinner.

Made a trip to Ruiqi's house before going to the newly renovated Lot One. We then set off walking to Lot One with Her Chuan after that. It has been so many years since I last went there. There's only the three of us so it's a super mini gathering. Haha.

We walked and chatted. Stayed at Action City for some time as we were hooked on to the metal puzzles. Those puzzles sure is fun. The ideas are really good.

We went to the pasar malam later on. I was getting hungry and wanted to grab some food. Bought a cup of blueberry drink. Find it new so I bought a cup to try. It doesn't taste like blueberry at all. I forgot to ask uncle to put lesser ice. The whole cup was so cold that there were so many "smoke". Lol. I bought two packs of mini swiss rolls too.

We sat down and chat at a pole near the MRT station. It's a long chat on a various topics. Guess it will just go on if it's not too late; especially I live the furthest from there. We left at 10pm plus and I reached home at 11pm plus.

It's a fun journey. I have enjoyed myself. =D

SHS Sports Day 2009

The event was generally alright. As I wasn't able to make it for the meetings, I didn't hold any specific jobs. Injuries was inevitable. Glad that it's not a lot. Faizah's dressing skill sure is good. One participant injured her ankle and just a few moments later, her ankle is nicely bandaged.

It's captain's ball. Prizes were awarded to the winners. One participant really made me unhappy as he used vulgarities. His team was losing badly. Too stressed up for the vouchers? I wonder where's the sportsmanship. He even lectured another participant like he is a great person.

It rained before the finals. Had to wait for further instructions while waiting for the rain to stop. The whole thing supposed to end at 1pm. Dragged on due to the rain. Went off at around 1pm for NDP training. I wonder who won this year's champion.

The food was alright. The nuggets were more tasty than those ordered before. I wonder why. Bananas were provided as well. Haha. Cool.

SYCO 2009 - Young Voices

Today's performance was great! Didn't really have full enjoyment as I rushed there right after my NDP training and I haven't had time to eat anything. I was really hungry then. Some syndromes of being mild hypoglycaemic. Thanks Jiewei for helping me to carry my bag so that I can manage to punch my card in time. Thanks to those who cared for me too! =D

The music pieces were nice! Liked it. Hope to hear it again. How I wish I can play as well as them! This orchestra is what I hoped to join. Those high-spirited pieces sure made me feel happy. =D

I doesn't seems to be in a good working state today. Guess I am worn out. I tried to get the house programme but it ran out of stock. I didn't get to have the performers' autographs too. =\

The event ended rather late as compared to other SCO events. Took a taxi home with Jiewei and Yuting. I prefer to take a cab ride home than taking a train as it is really a lot faster.

Opus 34.1

It has been two months since I last worked. Feel like I have forgotten some things when I went back today. It's my first time taking bus to work today! All for the sake for my concession. Learned a little bit more about Singapore. Haha. I was so happy when I saw Marina floating platform. The strucures for NDP will be done soon. I did have the thought, "that is the stage that I will be performing on National Day" and "I am coming soon, floating platform!", when the bus went pass. LOL. Mixture of thoughts and feelings just went through my head. Haha. The bus went pass Connaught drive too. my beautiful memories of Chingay 2009. All these somehow made me really happy.

I felt a little awkward when I reached there. The noisy me is strengthless. I didn't take the initiative to make friends with the two new colleagues. I wanted to but I feel so strengthless. Thanks to them for trying to talk to me. =)

Today's patrons was a little difficult. A whole row of teenagers gave me evil eye throughout the whole show. How respectful to the musicians they were. Thanks Esther for helping me throughout. My job was a lot easier with the help. Thank you!

The music pieces were nice. It's a band performance. Was so engrossed in their music during their rehearsals. The performers were actually the future teachers. Cool. Anyway, it's my first time to get a close look at the harp too. Nice. ^^

I took bus home later on too. Was a little shocked when the bus went past Little India and Farrer Park. There were packed with so many people! First time seeing this sight. Haha. I guess I should really go out more. Haha. Furthermore, I never knew that Novena and Farrer Park were so near.

Generally, it was an alright day for me. Didn't feel that tired when I reached home. Guess waking up at 12pm is the reason for this. Haha. =)

The things I want to do with my family!

Personally, I like to emphasise the importance of bonding as it is an essential component of a healthy relationship.

I love to have family outings as it is the time that we can bond with to have a better understanding of each other. Having outings is a great way to communicate.

I would like to go sight-seeing with my family and maybe have a picnic somewhere. Going sight-seeing is a form of relaxation and also good break for the eyes. Furthermore, seeing nice scenery is good for the soul and mind.

Having a picnic with the tour will add colours to that special outing. It's the hands-on preparation of the food that creates the chance to bond. In order to have them, preparation must be of an enjoyable one.

Wushu Outing at Paris Ris Park

This is my first time visiting Paris Ris Park. It's a nice journey I must say. I had a close-up view of mangroves and a jellyfish. I get to have close-up interactions with some horses too.

Met up at Paris Ris MRT station before we took a walk to the park. Tha park sure is big as it took us some time to reach our destination. It's roller blading and cycling time. I didn't took part as my ankle haven't recover yet. Took some pictures with the horses nearby. There was once when Christian wanted to take a picture with the white horse and the horse move towards me. Haha. "Suanned" him that the horse don't like him. Took some creative photos with Corinne with the fake horse too. Haha.

I patted the white horse in the feeding area. First time touching a horse. People can actually buy some dried grass and feed the horse. There are horse rides available too. I took a photo with a horse doing one wushu stance too. The horse was doing the "ding bu". I did the same thing and took a picture. Cool!

We went to the seaside after that. The plan was to go to the maze garden but all of us seems to took the wrong way. Had some fun though. I never knew that there were so many tiny grasshoppers at the seaside. Upon putting our bags down on the trash bag brought by Corinne, a whole lot of them would jump onto our bags. =.=

Played dog and bone on the sand; a very mathematical one. It has been so long since I last stepped on sand bare-footed. I collected some nice seashells! The tide was rather high though. Maybe I can collect more nice seashells if the tide was lower. A jellyfish was washed up onto the shore. First time seeing a living jellyfish.

I left early after that. Chose to took a bus instead of the train home as I want to enjoy the scenery. =)
