YOG Opening Ceremony

Just finished watching YOG Opening Ceremony Full Rehearsal. Amazing!!!! Everything from stage setup, fireworks, drama, seating, programmes etc was damn damn damn brilliant.... I would love to show some footage but it is against the law, at least not until the REAL opening ceremony is over... but in case any of you guys are free, try to catch it on TV.... =)

Space Cadet

This week is as free as it can ever get.... actually it is getting quite boring... 12 hours of sleep everyday doesn't give me that extra kick anymore.... thank goodness the YOG Committee rewarded us with a VVIP ticket to YOG Opening Ceremony's full dress REHEARSAL.... at least I have ONE thing to look forward ....




Met up with Bernard from NUS yesterday. Went to China Town to eat some Beijing food... same thing happened again, so many queued for that restaurant. We were under the impression that the restaurant was superb but it turned out to be only so-so... This is the typical case in Singapore. As long as you serve DECENT (aka average) food, then you will earn like crazy....





O ya... back to Space Cadet. I was so bored that I spent hours on Space Cadet... and BOOM!

33.5 Million !!!!!!!!!

Lol... I got so lucky and got like tonnes of extra balls and replays....

Back to Singapore ... AGAIN...

Well, my time in Malaysia has finally come to an end.... 1 whole month of nice food and meeting up with friends were awesome... but somehow I still miss Singapore... guess I am not too homey after all...

Last update was more than a month ago.... wow... longest record.... For what it is worth, I think I have recovered from the break up (Woo-hoo... lol). Now I am as ready as ever .... I hope...

Anyway, last Saturday I went to Singapore Universal Studio (finally...). I shall dedicate an entire post on it when I get the pictures. The entrance free is SGD66 during the weekdays and SGD 72 during the weekends... my cousin got a corporate price of SGD 40+++.... so I was lucky...

PS: I am so jeolous of those people who can play 'Draw My Thing' !!!!!

4Mbps !!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable.... this morning I woke up early (around 8am) and went to download some movies to watch.... Since this is the holiday season, internet speed has improved tremendously.... usually around 180kbps as compared to during semester time, which is around 20-30kbps....

But this morning it was so freaky... my movie is around 1GB and the download bar shot up very quickly... something that usually takes an hour finished within 3 MINUTES!!!!! Omg.... I couldn't believe it myself... I guess no one in my hall wakes up that early to fight for internet connection... I better start downloading other movies while the speed is still good.... who knows, I may even presume to the habit of 早睡早起 just for this...lol

New Roommie....

My luxurious life of one person staying in a double bedroom has come to an end.... it was a great couple of months having the whole room to myself... now I have a new roommate... Se llama Richard Foster. Tiene veintiun años. Lugar de nacimiento es Oxford, England. Estudia Quimica en University of Southampton... Yup. He is in his fourth year now and he is only 21 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw Malaysian education system.... that's it, ISA will come and arrest me before I know it...

Lol...... NTU has a good relationship with Southampton.... normally we will have 10+ exchange students, so I wasn't surprised at all he came from there.... And so happen we study the SAME course.... come to think of it, maybe they did it on purpose..... Anyway, he seems like a nice person to share a room with .... Thank G** ...

3 roommates from 3 different countries in 1 year.... Am I lucky or the opposite?

Hooligan elaborate....

Well, following my previous post, last Saturday after CEP meeting from 9am to 12pm, we went out for lunch.... at Orchard Road... for Nasi Penyet. Apparently many of my Singaporean friends love it... cuz we had muslim friends, we had to go for halal food.... Personally, I think it wasn't my cup of tea.... quite normal la considering I hate Malay food all along, why would Indonesian food be my favourite out of sudden....

There were 12 of us. But I couldn't get hold of the group shot... =(

Original plan was to go for a badminton game... kononnya in the spirit of YOG.... as a volunteer must support a bit what.... but apparently Singaporeans love sports so much that you have to book 2 weeks beforehand to get a badminton court.... sien... So we went to Marina Square for a game of bowling....

Which I sucked at... I had the lowest score... lol... Malunya....

Then we walked around the mall.... coincidentally it was Singapore Sales !!!!!!!! All of us were going crazy looking at all the discounts...... but we were too broke to buy anything... so lepaked around..... who knows..... we came to this Doraemon Convention.... got colouring competition some more!!! 4-10 years old only.... sien.... So we took some pictures...

The whole idea was to imitate the characters in the background.... I think we didn't do too badly...

As crazy as we were... we got tired. So we stopped by at Starbucks and had some drinks.... Fully charged, we WALKED through Esplanade to the Southern part of Singapore...lol... sounds far but actually was just 10 minutes walk... Singapore is very small.... We passed by the 'Floating Stage' where the Opening Ceremony of YOG will be held...

.... And we passed through this bridge called the 'Double Helix Bridge'.... that's what the locals told me.... They even have ATCG (Correctly and compatibly paired up... geez... no wonder smartness is in the air... ) on the floor along the bridge...

The bridge is supposed to link to the second Integrated Resort... but the construction was still ongoing.... so we took the long way.... we got there eventually....

Double Helix Bridge connecting to the Integrated Resort.... can't wait to see the Sky Garden...

Next.... of course the CASINO !!!! Ironically, while everything else was still under construction, the casino was wide open for business.... and the business was GOOD....... so many people were there... I wanted so badly to take a look inside, but....

Yeah.... this sucks.... I don't think my look will pass for 18.....They are also underage....

So we camwhored outside.....

Ya .... pretty much what would happen if we entered.... At night we went to support South Korea in the WorldCup match against Greece at The Penny Black.... it was an English Victorian pub... specially catered for football and rugby fans (I have to avoid using H*******)... with really hot waitresses and no waiters... hmm I wonder why.... I was told that if I went during England VS USA match and supported USA.... ya that will probably be the end of me.... It was a good match though... I cheered until I lost my voice.... but it was awesome.... And then we went home.... FIN

Btw, Happy Halloween, I am part of the "Ghosts" for the coming Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC)....

PS: I hope you will find a better guy in future. All the best!

Hooligan

Today isthe first time I become an hooligan .... I have no idea how ridiculous we looked, but it was definitely a lot of fun... Congrats to South Korea .... Greece???? You guys played rough and didn't even win ...!!!! In your face .... lol

I am not a huge football fan but being part of the crowd (aka hooligans) is actually kinda fun... Will post some pictures when they are ready...

PS: Happy 5th month anniversary... =)
