Tank-U!Class. At networking class now, and it's SUPER boring! The prof refuses to teach, and he's just playing a videotaped lecture of another prof in class, and it's barely audible! Falling asleep, if not for the fact that I can use MSN. Laughs. Leonard and gang also persuaded me and Kev to abandon our project mates to join them too. Oh, and the first time that I'm in the same class as Wei Heng too! Yeah! Sigh, guess I'd better work hard-er this sem!
B'dae! Oooh...I'm a year older le! Don't know if I shd be glad or sad. Laughs. But anyway, wanna thank you all for remembering me! Thanks for all the sms-es, cakes and presents too! Touched by all your efforts! Serious!
And a BIG thank you to 2dots! Honestly got a shock when I got the call from Apple! Absolutely love the Ipod! : ) Thanks for dinner at Chjimes too! As well as supper! And thanks for your time too, even though you were so tired, and had alot on your mind. Really appreciate it!
Well, gotta try to concentrate in class now. Still 1.5 hours more to go! Hmm..meeting Sue later too!! Finally getting to meet up with her, sheena and san! Busy people! Laughs. Cya!

Lost in BP!Oh dear, I hate mon morning classes, esp 830s. And esp when it's a math module and u're lost in the words and numbers. Almost overslept too; it's a good thing Lewis happened to msg, or else it'll be the 3rd time i'm missing my BP class. Was rushing out of the house, and I forgot to bring merv's hard disk and minteck's ltb book too! Sigh, now I'm tryin to figure out what the prof is talking about in class..n failing terribly. Laughs.
Careless me. Sigh, you must be wondering what's new. Sigh, I lost my bible again! Left it on the church bus, but couldn't find it after, even when the bus driver drove back to let me check. Was so sad. : (
Church! Service was simply amazing. So glad I didn't miss Pst Ulf this yr. He preached on persevering in our dreams, and I found it so relevant, esp after being away from church for a third of the year. Laughs. First person I met at church was Gab too. Couldn't recog him, coz he'd lost weight and coloured his hair. Only felt someone staring at me, and when I turned, it took me like a while to realize who it was. Laughs. Can't imagine if I stayed away longer, I'll prob won't recog u all.
Swensens. Had dinner with gab, deana, ray, sufeng, francis and hui fen last night. Anyway, thanks for celebrating my bdae yest! So touched that u all always remember my bdae each year, though I'm always so bad at remembering b'daes. Surprisingly, we met Gabriel Ho (from sch) at swensens too, and the 2 Gab Hos got to meet. Laughs. Oh, and a funny incident. I was just joking about wanting a ballon, and Ray actually went to get me one and had me carry home. However, while waiting for the MRT, I was twirling the balloon, and it slipped out of my hand! Gab made a leap to try to catch it, but only sent it flying into the MRT tracks! Laughs. Den after, we were all stunned there, wondering what we all should do, coz the MRT was approaching in 2mins. Haha. And in the end, we decided to abandon the balloon. Grins. It's a blessing in disguise too, laughs. Coz I wouldn't have had to carry it home! : )
Shrunk. Last, but not the least, I think I've shrunked! Keith was just mentioning it on Sat that I've seemed to grow shorter, yet I strongly disagreed. However, yest I was proven wrong! Coz standing beside Gab, I only reached till slightly below his ears! Was so shocked, coz he's always been only slightly taller den me! It's either everybody happened to grow taller, or that I've shrunk. Sadly, I tink it's the latter. : ( And it's the worse case scenario too: To have grown shorter yet fatter at the same time. Sobs. Haha, guess I'm suffering the repercussions of my holiday now. Laughs.
Okies, will stop here to try to concentrate in class. Laughs. Can't wait to see 2dots later! Hoho...enjoy your day!

Morning!
Was surprised to be up pretty early this morning, coz I was so tired last night. Laughs. Met up with Keith yest, went to eat my fave Xiao Long Bao! Missed eating that so much! Ha, and so glad that he liked the AX belt I bought too! Tink he's gonna wear to church later, so look out! : ) Den after, I met Hazel for some shopping at orchard, and gosh, she really is a good shopper! Grins. Ended up, we were late in meeting our CG at bugis. Supp to meet them at 6.45, we reached almost at 10. Oops. Anyway, so sweet, my CG gave me a surprise b'dae celebration! But of course it came with many sabos..laughs. Which leads me to think if I should attend the dinner Deana's having tonight..having second thoughts. Laughs. Anyway, can't wait to go for church later!!! So excited, and so happy too, coz I can finally see all of u guys again! Bet u all will comment on how much weight I'd put on! Laughs. Haha, gimme some time la.
Anyway, I'm missing the scent of Hugo Boss! Ha. You must think I'm kinda nuts yeah..laughs. Grins, maybe I shd buy myself a bottle of Dark Blue too! Can't use it on myself, but I can still spray it ard my room yeah. Laughs. Now you know which perfume you shd use if you want me to take note of u! winks~
Okies, gotta go bathe now. Meet up with me sometime soon k! ; )

Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
[Chorus]
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Your beautiful soul, yeah
I know that you are something special
To you, I'd be always faithful
I want to be
What you always needed
Then I'll hope you see the heart in me
[Chorus]
You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind if you give me the chance
I'll never make you cry c'mon let's try
[Chorus]
Am I crazy for wanting you
Maybe do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
[Chorus]
Beautiful soul, yeah
Oh, yeah
Your beautiful soul, yeah

6 seater drive round Times Square! Cool!
Posted by sOtz at 3:12 pm
Times Square, New York
Posted by sOtz at 2:32 pm
HellOOooo! I'm in San Francisco now, and it's freezing cold! It's about 55deg here, and the winds are super strong; Meeshell, Corn and I almost freezed even in the hot afternoon! Arrived here at about 10.45am, checked in at the hotel, and walked to Chinatown for lunch. Got cheated on spending excess money on dimsum, coz we were so hungry, we went to the first restaurant we saw. Anyway, after that, we walked to Japantown. It was really boring there, and all we did was to take candid shots of ourselves doing star-jumps in front of the waterfall. Laughs. Following, we walked to the famous known Lombard - the most crookedest street in the world. It was really no joke walking around San Fran, coz the streets are all ascnding and descending, and the slopes are at the average of 45deg steep. Gosh. After Lombard, we then dined at The Cheesecake Factory. It was the first time for Corn, but the second for Meeshell and I, coz we've tried once at Chicago. Food was really good though, except that we couldn't finish again. Ate the tiramisu cheesecake this time, and it was simply awesome! Nicer than the Godiva one that we ate at Chicago.
Hiccups. Anyway, no worries, my trip so far has been pretty good, except for a few hiccups here and there. Initially we had trouble renting the car, coz Corn and I were under 25, and secondly, the US Bank Visa cards we both had were both debit cards, and were not accepted. Finally, I managed to use the cards I brought from Singapore, or else we wd have had been stuck at Toledo.
Police. On the way from Toledo to New York, we were caught by traffic police for speeding and fined a $160. The speed limit was 65mph, but according to the policeman, we were driving at 87mph. Sigh, was just really sway ba, coz there were a million and one cars out there that were speeding too. Learnt our lesson though; and learnt how to keep a lookout for police hiding by the expressway entrances. Anyway, gonna be renting a car again on Sunday to drive to Yosemite National Park (4hrs from SF). Hope it'll be good weather for that day!
Okies, gotta go bathe and sleep now. Gotta wake up early to go to Alcatraz Island and Fisherman's Wharf tml! So excited! Goodnites!

Hello!
I'm in New York now! Waiting for Corn to finish bathing, so we can go to the Empire State Building. Anyway, it was a really, really long drive yesterday, 12 hours; from Sandusky to Toledo to pick up the car + Toledo to NY. It was a really fortunate thing that Corn drove into NY, coz the traffic here is CRAZY, unlike Chicago. It's much worse than JB, that I can vouch, Anyway, we spent our day yest at Woodbury Commons, the biggest outlet location in US, and Meeshell and I each spent about $500 each. Faints. After that, we went down to Madison Ave (i tink), ate at Wendy's, and went back to the hotel coz Corn was really tired. For today, we went to the Statue of Liberty! After that we had tim sum at Chinatown. It was not bad! Haven't eaten Chinese food in ages! Miss Crystal Jade so much! Laughs. Following, we walked down to Little Italy and Soho. Little Italy and Chinatown's got pretty quaint shops, while Soho carries all the big brands, like G-Star, Paul Frank's etc. Ate ice cream again at some ice cream factory shop, and came back to the hotel, coz my memory card was full, and Corn's batt was on low.
Oh, he's back le. Gtg, cya!
