Yeeah! I finally cleaned my room :D
It's really clean and it feels more like a room now.
With the mirror, a place to hang my clothes, table with good clean space,
loads of lights and a fan, with rubbish bin at sight, good speakers,
ohh yeah and speaking of speakers - I still need a radio!

Had IMD picnic at Marina Barrage.
Ehh that place quite huge but verrrry inaccessible.
We had pasta with ham and chicken, potato salad,
chicken and cheese, potato chips, many sandwiches,
chips with chocolate sauce, kinokuniya and some drinks.
Saw the sun set, while Nick, who unthanked us for making
him wet (haha), blowed candles before turning 20 on Wednesday.

My fav! Chawamushi brought by SS

I remembered while Nick was singing and saying 'Hippopotamus'
(I just googled, no spelling error ahaha), someone pointed out
saying it sounded like Poker Face being sung LOL. Lucky all
that I brought came in handy - trash bag, poker cards, etc.
When was the last time we were up there?

I cannot follow timetables made by myself for nuts.

For the visit to the orphanage home in Indonesia, I went with Chin Sian
and Firdaus and I thought it was so nice to be travelling with them overseas
for the first time together after so long though we were in a group. I was there
to witness the conditions and see what I can help to at least make a slight
change. To know that another group of Singaporeans will be visiting them at
2pm and the older students will return from school at 12pm was a little
disappointing. I did not take as much pictures as I wanted to because
for a few reasons, mainly I wasn't really feeling at my best and futhurmore,
it was their place of living and I just didn't want to treat it as a tourist attraction.
The children there certainly did touched my heart, especially when one came over
and slept on me while I sat cross-legged after his performance in front of us and
when they started praying and had their eyes shut so tightly when each received a
box of food in front of them. They all look younger than their age. We played soccer
with them and went to a mall at our own expenses - 2 A&W Floats and fries with chilli.
The pictures can be seen over at Facebook.

Have not been doing anything productive lately but just taking time to breath and yes,
I will continue the website when I wake up tomorrow, go for a haircut and get the drinks,
go for a jog and prepare for picnic with imd friends the next day. This coming Friday I will
be going on a last minute planned trip to Genting and am quite excited! :D

Perhaps a change of words will do the trick!
no offence to those people in the images
(cos I bet all face the same problem :)

Went out with Firdaus and Chin Sian to watch The Taking Of Pelham 123;
quite an intense show but the movie pace is quite slow-moving for me.
On the way back, had the briefing at Bishan and on my way home,
I saw and picked up this name tag, thinking I can pass it to the
school nearby but I just googled the school: it is all the way to
Toa Payoh - St Andrew's Junior School. Will fiind time for it asap. LOL.
Time does flies doesn't it? It's already fourth day of my holidays. gee.
Why am I even awake at this hour?

derek

Where was I this morning?
Went to Air Itam (Black Water in malay) in Malaysia
with my parents and uncle magan (correct spelling right?).
Wahh really damn nice the feeling of starting my holidays.
Bought some stuff I saw I like and ate those that looks yummy (lol).
Project Indonesia: 3 more days
Cannot wait to start on the website, go out with Joanie, Firdaus/Chin Sian,
Benny and friends (sounds like Barney and friends leh),  picnic with imd friends,
ehh still have other things like packing my room, eating, working out, etc hahah,

You know what happens when you bring me out shopping after a looong time right;
its time to get all those things I need and I want laa haha! Went to SS and bought a..
1. Wooden-beaded cushion: You know those cab drivers use that kind? Yeah, I
bought one for home use because I'm like sitting down for 13 / 24 hours a day? Bo bian.
2. Night Lamp: Had been craving for this (what a craving huh) for a damn long time
cos the light above me is like 40W and this one is only 11W and is 80% energy saving. ^^
3. Microphone: Benny and a few others has been bugging me on msn for msn (haha)
and since I was with my parents, might as well get one right hehe :Damn happy!
I still need a radio though haha (streaming radio dunno what happen).
Now borrowing my sister's radio listening to Class 95. In the past used to
listen to 98.7FM, Power 98, but I think my favourite songs in my generation,
and also the older generation, rocks more (either that or I'm just getting old).
Anyway, the 3rd level in my house is extremely quiet because my siblings
are away. One went to Phuket and another went to Australia. How cool right?
Yesterday evening from Australia: "Eh, I buying you slipper, what's your size?"
Yesterday night: "Derek ah, eh, your feet how big? Phuket's slippers very nice."
Now I know I will have at least 2 pair of slippers flown in from two country. Haha!

The radio just reads "Michael Learns To Rock in Singapore.."

From the saying of photo albums on Facebook: "Of lolipops, candy shops and balloons",
went to Science Centre with DD last Friday! Will send you the pictures when I see you online :D
PS! That day was too tired, cannot tahan fell asleep haha!

   

   

Shall not post Sakae "SUS-sHI" pictures up if not the next time I write will feel verry hungry.
Spent a great amount and time (next time to save up for a hike!) that day,
no need to wait for holidays to come liao - holiday mood already haha!
