... A Tinge Of ...

Too free and bored tonight, since I have surfed through all my regular sites during the matric fair today. Really nothing else to see online, and I'm not a big fan of youtube or crunchyroll. So? Ended up reading. Went all the way back to the beginning. And i jollywell expected to see some things, that will invoke... A tinge of sourness in me.. Haiz, but I still chose to read. Probably cos I haven't read b4, and I wanna read, even though I know the consequences.

... Chud Sai ...

It's been almost 5 months since I last chud sai. Went out with NUS LD for their competition at Fajar yesterday afternoon, and it had to pour so heavily on us. Sian, I was totally drenched by the time we reached the competition venue. So well, some photos from the competition, of people and the item. Lion Dance performances are full interesting stories, and many dos and don'ts. Sometimes, the reasons behind the dos and don'ts just dun make much sense at all. Haha...

Past Ps & VPs

佛门阵之前庭种花

This was the item that NUS competed on. Title as above, lazy to re-type. Ha. See the 2 knives and cudgel on the ground? It represents the 2 doors and door stopper to the monastery. The big head buddha is supposed to leap over the walls and then open up the doors to let the lion in. And in all lion dance performances, the dancers have to do a short performance using the weapons at the end. And yes, our girls who took part in the competition did just that. Will post up those photos as and when I get them.

Anyhow, well done to those to competed. Maybe it's time I take it easy on LD. Ha...

... Important Question ...

What cake is it... Shucks... What a dumb ass I am! =(

... D or A+?? ...

I got back my SEP results last week while I was still doing my ICT. Was in the I-Net centre to check, when I got a shock of my life!!! Got a D grade for me ENME345 Thermo-Fluids Transport. WTF! That was near impossible to get such a result. Considering my CA, I really had to buang damn jialat in the exams to get a D (which is a fail grade mind u). Couldn't believe at all, and so I emailed my lecturer and the UC Exchange officer for help... And guess what's e reply I got from my beloved lecturer? Here goes....

"Dear Hong Kai,
It is no wonder that your results surprised you.
Your mark got mixed up with another student. You in fact have an A+.
It's my fault and I apologize.
Regards,"

Haha, like... WTF is UC doing manz... This kind of thing oso can mix up ah?!?!?!?! So lucky for me, I asked. I prob wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't a fail grade. Ha, I pity whoever who got mixed up with mine, he could have gotten off with an A+, but too bad for him. I wonder how he's feeling right now. FWahahahahaha....

... Finally Out-Pro ...

I've finally finished my 2nd ICT as I'm typing this entry. Just out-proed at 11am. Well, it has been kindaf a boring ICT, as I slacked my time away. Time was spent mainly between sleeping (or recovering from jet lag) to canteen breaks. And of course the sms sessions in between. My bill is highly likely to explode for this month. Hope that my NS pay of $200 will be enough, after deducting off expenses in camp. Wahahaha.. But it's ok. Should not be too much an issue. Hee..

Then there was the Battalion Cohesion Night, where there were durians, rambutans and mangosteens. Ha, also had a big cake to celebrate all the July babies. But luckily I was hiding somewhere, if not I'd probably not have a peaceful night. Ha, the worst thing is to celebrate your bday in ur unit. Wahahaha, it's mad manz... Keke...

ICT as usual, has been a chance for old friends and buddies to get together, to share and update one another with their lives. And so did the 4 Bionix drivers of the Battalion HQ. Spent so many nights chatting away. Got to know some really happy news. One of my closest buddy just got attached not long ago. But of cos, there are also the sad stories. No matter what, it's been really fortunate to have known this group of people and to still be able to serve with them in the BHQ.

All the best to 05 driver, Sichao, who is starting work at EY next month.
Continue working hard to the rest of the 3 of us who will be starting on our final year of studies soon. 06/08/09 drivers, Pressure Forward?!?!? Wahahaha!~
And to 06 driver, Ah Lam: Enjoy the sweetness of romance manz!~ Wahahaha!~

I'll see you guys soon, if we manage to meet up before the next ICT. Else, see you people on 9 June 2008. 453 SAR 3rd ICT: Combat ATP shootout!~

... Queenstown ...

Wah manz, this was the longest bus ride we took while we were in NZ man. A whole 7 hours to get to Queenstown from Christchurch. And we slept like... haiz.. *shakes head*

Anyway, we finally managed to ski at The Remarkables on 3 July. Went up there in the morning, where we had our starter's courses. Binjuan and I skiied while Veron snowboarded. Frankly, I suck at skiing. Bin was way much better man. I feel so... Keke... And Veron complained of her whole body aching after the day of snow activities man... Haha... Oh, it also snowed abit on us when we were on the mountains. Sweet as! First time seeing falling snow in my life.. Hee..

At The Remarkables

The Skiiers

We were back at Queenstown on 6 July after visiting Te Anau and Milford Sounds and we visited Deer Park Heights that day. We nearly couldn't get in cos the barrier gave us much difficulties man. It just simply refuses to let us in! Damn... But eventually, we managed to enter..

Saw loads of animals - sheeps and lambs, deers, llamas, and some big guy that looks like an ox. Ha. And our dearest Bin was a natural animal attractor. All the llamas went running after her when she got off the car. And she went running further down the slope. It was a damn funny scene. Veron and I were laughing and taking videos. Ha!~ Me on the contrary... Haiz... All the animals run off when I tried getting near them. Kaoz!~

Bin running away from chasing llamas

Hiding behind me from donkeys passing by. Ha!~

And how about this? Hee...

Animals in Deer Park Heights

We drove all the way up to the Eastern Summit of the Heights where it overlooks what seems to be a set venue from LOTR. Fabulous view from there I tell you!~ Weet!~

... Nonya Zang ...

Hmmz, I just got to eat the nonya zang my mum kept in the freezer for me for lunch. Woo hoo, belated dumpling festival. Late by a month. But still, appreciate it manz..



Ha, the only thing is this year's dumplings seem abit too bland leh. Not much taste. Or is it my mum and aunts have embraced healthier lifestyle; healthier diets? Ha, no matter what, they are still homemade nonya zang and bah zang. Any other SEP people wanna have some too? Hee..

... Hair not dried ...

Hmmz, I was surfing other people's archive entries again while waiting for my hair to dry... So what now? Trying to share some loads? Trying to be the guide out of the confining walls? Trying to release shackles? *scratch head*

Be careful.. The bed may collapse on u.. It may be long and difficult. But then again, so what if you end up just being a guide? I'll still remember and treasure the escape walk... So, I'll try..

Time to sleep manz.. Jet lag still lingering.. Waking up at 4 plus for the past few days.. *shakes head*

... I'm BACK!!! ...

Yep!~ I'm back in Sunny Singapore, after 5 months in NZ. The air in Singapore is... HOT N HUMID!!! ARgh!! And it doesn't help that I'm going to in-pro for my ICT in a few hours time. Haiz, I think I'll sublime among the tress of Lim Chu Kang.. Somebody please catch my vapour.. Haha...

And yep, I do miss... Missed xxx around last night when I was packing my stuff for my ICT... =(

Right, I was at Queenstown/Milford Sounds/Wanaka during the last week of my stay in NZ. Managed to ski once there. So I'll try to put up photos n stuff when I get the time. Prob weekend the earliest. So do hang ard eh...
