when a third choice made it to the top (part 3)

Mardian accidentally brought my laptop with him o,o so I will continue part 3 frm my bb.. After I got it back I’ll beautify it.. Just want to pour it out while it’s still warm.. :D



So, we finished taking our flyer ride.. Took a pic of the flyer upclose, will upload it in the beautified version..
Then walked to art science museum..
(a few weeks back we were anyhow talking about going there.. But anyhow only so didn’t go.. Then tat day we thought we had the time so why not just go?)



To reach the Art Science Museum, we needed to cross the double helix bridge. Mikey with his conciergeness told me it took 80 sing dollars to build it. Xiao. Then he started his kampongness again. “Kita naik double helix euy..” But not as bad as the flyer one. I forgive you, bro. Haha. There was this photographer who was about to take a pic. I think he was waiting for the bridge to be empty or sth, but people are passing by. I was oblivious of his presence there so I obliviously posed there for Mikey to take a pic of me. The photographer got upset and left. Sorry uncle (this statement becomes valid only if I am the one causing him to leave).



We reach the Art Science Museum. They are having this exhibition about Titanic.. But they were closed that day so we didn’t go inside.. Btw, turns out their prices vary depending on where we want to go. Are there different sections inside?



Then we thought of visiting Ce Shella at LV, since it’s just nearby.. And Mikey was looking for an LV wallet so might as well look around.. So we went to LV.. They have like their own building for them, located at that area. They are rich, man. I can’t imagine the rental price.



We went in through MBS’s mall. The entrance at the first level was very intimidating. There was a bodyguard and a few staffs. We were intimidated so we went to B1 to go inside. It was pretty cool, man. They had this hallway with paintings on one wall, and a few installations. They even have a travellator in it. I was tempted to use it but Mikey forbade me.



In the end of that hallway was the escalator, leading to the LV building. I walked in and I feel rich, man. Such a different atmosphere. I felt like I must behave there. We looked for Mikey’s wallet first. Then we looked for Ce Shella. Couldn’t find her at the first floor, so we went to the second floor and still didn’t manage to find her. So we went back to the first floor and through the hallway and back to the B1 exit. By then we were planning to go home.



But dasar kampung, none of us knew where the exit was so we walked around, taking escalators up, until we reach donno what floor. From that floor, we can see the water show outside and Mikey was like, “this is the one I was talking about!!” (He did talk about it before) and it was preetaayyy.. I even told Mikey, “if we are going here with out partners, this will be very romantic man” and he made lame jokes out of it -.- but he agreed (I think)



Lots of people were watching standing up while in front of them were steps that they could sit on. But noone would sit on it since it was wet. Even mighty Mikey hesitated. But I can’t be bothered. It was just a little water. So we found the dryest spot out of the wet to sit on.



We sat, the show goes on. There was laser lights, fire, waters dancing beautifully, was amazing. Not long after, the water show suddenly changed mood. A song played and the lyrics went, “I see trees of green, red roses too..” with a very familiar tune. It was ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong, the iconic ever most romantic song.
And both of us burst out in laughter.. Idk why, but we (at least I) found the whole situation to be hilarious.. Probably because we were talking about the romantic2 stuff before and here this romantic song is playing with a romantic water show in front of us. It’s a to die for ambiance for all you lovebirds. You might feel there’s no reason to laugh but if you were in my shoes that day, you would understand.



When the show ended, I realize my shorts were wet. (Duh.) Mikey lended his jumper but my body was too long so it didn’t manage to cover my butt area. Still, took a pic of me in it. (Post later)



Realized we needed to walk a long way to get to the public transport, be it a bus, taxi, or MRT. So we walked again, through the double helix again (which by then has lost most of its charm and I would happily trade for a travellator), and we decided to take the train.



Took the train and went home. End of journey :D



What a fun day!! Full of unexpected decisions and surprises. (The highlight for me was the water show. Not the flyer) We were like, what day is it today? Are we celebrating anything? I really felt it was a God-given experience for me :) and I am deeply grateful for the whole thing.
I think the best part is that I went there with a genuine friend and not a potential boyfriend. That’s what made it superfun!! I got to be myself and not care what he would think of me. He has seen me ngeces, muncrat, doing all the unglam stuff, he has seen me at my literally ugliest moments.



I think every girl could use a good male friend. Someone they can talk to about their male problems. Someone who knows you like a guy and didn’t change and stay your friend. As I stated before, I talk to him about my guy problems. You can use a male point of view sometimes. And sometimes you just need a good listener.



However note that both of you are humans. You will annoy him and he will annoy you at times. There will come the time where you will disappoint each other. (I am pretty sure I have annoyed or disappointed him) Which is normal and okay. Which is why, surrender your friendships to God too. Ask Him to protect them :) involve Him in them.



Talking about male friends reminds me of Titi, Paulus, Wie, n kakak kandung. Miss yous.



Shoutout to all opposite gender good pals in the world, representing your opposite gender good pal, thank you!! :D



(Same gender good pals are awesome too!! But another post will be dedicated to that. Not this one :))



Well, spoke my heart out. Good nitee!!

when a third choice made it to the top (part 2)

Disclaimer (again, incase you didnt read the one in the first post): Me and the guy in this whole post are good friends. If you think there’s more, you are wrong (I mean, I share my guy problems to him!) This experience is such a wonderful one and I want to share it. So don’t think too much k? Just enjoy :)


yeahh!! continuing!!!


So we walked by foot to the flyer, which wasn’t that far at all. Got lost for a while, looked for the toilet, then dont know how to board till we found a big2 sign written “flight” something.. (ok wayfinding design is important) so we followed the direction and turned out it was the correct way.


The 2 petugas scanned our tics, and we got in. There were lots of interesting installation before you get to the actual flyer, which was unexpected. There’s this very pretty wall where they screen interesting patterns and pictures to it.



.


Then there’s another room where there are this interactive panel. If you touch the panel, the screen in front of you will react. I don’t know how to explain since it’s quite complicated and I didnt take any picture. It wasn’t that fun anyway.


The next room has another big screen, and from quite a distance, there was a torchlight looking thing. When you direct the torchlight to the screen, the range that the light from the torchlight is supposed to cover changes pic. The screen projects old singapore, the torchlight circle projects new singapore. Can imagine? No pics too.


The next turn was a long hallway with their awards I think. Photo for this one :D



Btw from the two pics, you can see my bad habit. I like peeling skin off my thumb, and it’s obvious in those two pics. Ci Joan says i need to stop :/ I know it’s kinda gross for people watching.. hahhaa


NEXT! was a room with 3 installation art. No pics, but cool art I think. There was one with lots of cool infographics CMC will flip.


Then there was the place with a huge green screen background where you can take pics. The photographer will take a pic of you and they will photomontage it to a few flyer backgrounds you can choose from. We were just standing and smiling. Should’ve done crazier pose man hahaha but that awkward pic will b a good memory.


After was a long hallway again, leading to the queue. It was pretty crowded so we decided to wait until that batch got into the capsule and plan to take the next one. But people kept coming so we thought no point waiting and just got back into the queue.



a quick shot while queuing. The white thing behind me was the capsule.


We took capsule D-3. Next to us was the capsule where you can book for dinner. It was romantic, they serve you wine and stuff. Chio sia! We share the capsule with an Indian family, probably newlyweds with their family cos a couple from that pack was stuck with each other hugging each other donno what all the time. Then, a couple (angmoh guy asian girl), and another 2 ladies, either sisters or friends.


Theeeen that Mikey kept saying “Kita naik flyer, euy” doooonno how many timesss I said to him say one more time I slap you. Hahaha but he said it again doooooonnnooo how many times still I didn’t slap him. Should’ve. Hahahhaa.


The capsule moved slowly. We all first sat nicely inside. But then as the capsule got higher, noone could stay seated. We all stood up taking pics. The view was amaziiinggg.. On the left was highways, HDBs and a golf field. But on the right side… Oh myyy… It was preetaayyyy.. We can see Mikey’s workplace, Mandarin Oriental, clearly. All the hotels and tall tall building with their lights (and people OTing inside), it was beautiful!! We can see suntec (Hello Ps Prince and Ps Kong!), and MBS was next to us! 


I didn’t bring my camera (since the plan was spontaneous) so all pics were taken with Mikey’s BB Torch. (thinking of an Iphone now)



The rim of the flyer. There’s a ladder there.



It was prettier then this. Blame the BB camera quality. Lol! But this should be better them my curve hahaha.



Me pointing to Mikey’s workplace. It’s Mandarin Oriental!!



The golf field.



That bottom part of MBS. Is this the casino?



MBS



There, still can see my pointer finger peeling skin off of my thumb. 



Asked the guy of the indian couple to help us take pic. Blur sia -.- but still ok lah haha.


.


So we were on the flyer for half an hour and Mikey has stopped saying his annoying line. We went down and it led us to the souvenir shop, where we can see our pic taken earlier. He was first like no need la no need la we were so awkward. I wasn’t sure wether I should buy it or not cos it’s 20+. But then, this chance is very rare, and we got the tics for free somemore. So I asked him, buy or not? Then he was like up to you up to you. In the end, I decided to buy. Funny thing was, he was the one who paid for it. (I will pay him back la but the person who was most against buying was now the one paying. I found it funny)


Here’s the pic:



My fave is the bottom left one.
And nope, I’m not done yet. Journey hasn’t ended and I still have things to say. So, see you in part 3 :D

Intro.


Around 2 months ago, my gracious boss gave me 2 free tickets for Singapore Flyer, which expires on Oct 31, which is next Monday.



The first person I thought of was my mom. Second was Ghon. So, when my parents came to Singapore, I asked her wether she wants to take the ride. She was afraid, didnt want the ride. So asked Ghon about it, and she agreed :) But we can’t decide on a time to go. That was last 2 weeks.


Due to our own busyness, both of us forgotten about the ticket, until earlier this morning. On the train I suddenly remember that it is alrd Oct 27th. I BBMed her and asked when we shall go, but then turned out she can’t make it cos of her exams i think. So now I am back to having a free ticket and I needed someone fast. Next in line I thought of was Mikey, since we are meeting anyway. So I asked him if he wanted to go and he agreed. We had no other time but today since starting from tomorrow he will be working. So, today it was. Talk about rencana dadakan. End of Intro.

27 10 11.


School.


Today I woke up a bit late. Planned to wake up on 6, and turned out I woke up on 7.30. So wasn’t a good start.


Went to school carrying 4 (thick) books that boss lended me. Today I was going to drop by the office, so planned to return them back today. Then after reaching school, Vivin bought my whole sack of noodles I left in her house. So my hands were full today. School bag (with the laptop in it, no choice), a super heavy plastic bag with boss’ books, and another plastic bag full of instant noodles. humm >.>


Then in class, I received an e mail for an interview for the 100 Friends exhibition. It will happen next week so yeah. We’ll see what happens :D


Then we all consulted Terrence for our assessment. He kindof liked it so it was good :D happy! He’s a great artist, a great lecturer. I learnt a lot from his lesson this semester. The fact that I could consult him about my non school design. Respect. He asked me to make a brochure, which makes it 5 items out of the required 3 items. I’ll do it if I have time. Still not done with the other homeworks (and here I am blogging)


Then went to PC Leong’s lesson and consulted her on the essay. Was alright too, just needed to finish it. And during that lesson, got introduced to a Samsung app named IRIS. We had a major LOL moment. It kept listening to our commands wrongly. It even asked us to pray when someone popped a question about relationships. Hahahah ccd.


Then after the lesson, we (me, vivin, fong2, and wily) ate prata at Al Jilani. Then we went to the library to continue our James work. Then, ard 4, Mikey reached my school, so i left.


.


Adventure.


So, we started off with the travel agent. This is the actual purpose of our meeting. We are planning to ho to HK by the end of the year with Ci Becky, Glenn, Michell and her friend. Still psychoing Yohannes to join. Anyone who wants to join can let us know :) We are actually looking for 2 more guys to make it even, 4 girls 4 guys. And the more people the more fun!!


We went to 2 teavel agents around my school. The first one was a bit expensive. The second one havent get back to me yet.


Then, 2nd stop was my boss’ office. It’s located around Dakota. We took a bus there. Btw, my internship period was quite a happy period of my life. Had a great boss, funny colleagues, it was fun :) Especially making the cranes for a project, it leaves memories man. So I reached and left his books there. He said if i needed it again, just let him know :)


Then, we still got time before the flyer cos Mikey said we better take it at night. Makes sense since it will be way prettier. It was around 5.30? Then he said he wanted to see my exhibition. So we went there loh to Boat Quay. Actually I wasn’t for that idea to the mas, because I was quite nervous seeing my artwork there. But then it turned out I felt good and happy there. I thank God really for this opportunity to join the exhibition. I was like a tour guide there, explaining artworks by other people. So ppl, check it out. 100 FRIENDS 100 ARTISTS 100 INSPIRATIONS



Took a brochure of the exhibition, or whatever it was since it was very big, and gave it to him. Haha. 


Then, when we left TCC, it was still bright. And we were pretty lost. We walked a bit, and from afar I saw The Fullerton Hotel, so we knew where we are! And him, as a concierge boy started explaining about Fullerton hotel. Hahaha! 


We planned to take the train, but then in the end decided to walk. Walked from Boat Quay to Esplanade. We took dinner at Esplanade, Artease. It’s a good place, you guys should try it :D They sell rice, burgers, and BUBBLE TEAS :D



*Intermezzo* 


I cut my hair!! :D Yesterday, after gathering with TLG, I went to watch movie w Mikey, C Becky, Glenn, Ness, C Selvi, C Bombie, Jen, and MF. After dinner, it was still 8. They all went home, left w me n Mikey cos our way home was to another direction. We felt it was still very early. Therefore, I decided to cut my hair. (So basically these 2 days we have been making spontaneous decisions. Fun! haha)


so here’s my hair before:



And here it is now!



I like it! :D So why did i put this intermezzo here? Because I remember at Artease I was running and there was a mirror and I saw my new hair waving with the wind :P hahaha *end of intermezzo*


So, after Artease, it was already dark. So, we walked to the flyer.


I should stop writing here for I need to take my bath and go to school. Will continue it in part two! :D

nyut

my head hurtssss. i feel like sleeping and wake up again in a few hours and continue doing.

Salute

Last night at Udders, the guys are talking about football when suddenly Ce Beki popped a girly question to them, breaking their intense concentration.


It’s understandable, their reaction. Obviously football was more interesting. But one person looked Ce Beki in the eye, took her questions seriously and answered them all. He was Ko Ivan.


That moment he earned my respect. That was cool.


In the end, they all eventually shifted topic to Ce Becky’s question till the end. Lol.


And salute to Ce Becky’s courage to suddenly break into a guy’s football conversation.



the idea is she’s somekind of crazy goddess. A goddess in a straight jacket :p


I was just sketching last night. Cos no mood to do homework so thought of merilekskan pikiran sejenak. Eh kebablas =.= once scanned, can’t stop. Slept at 4.30 in the end.


took +- 4 hrs, using photoshop

refreshing

Still have Cheng Ming Chong’s homework to finish. But no mood.. So created this for refreshing :p
