Time to recount on the fantastic 4d3n trip at Redang! I shall post more pictures and type lesser so u guys can have a better picture of the whole experience!


Gathering at lih long's place before we head off for dinner


dinner at army market opposite golden mount!


group picture before we board the bus


kian nam going around, taking pictures with everyone


our first pit stop at yong peng. All of us were feeling hungry as u can tell


the jetty at terrengganu. Took us about 9 hours of bus ride to reach here.


Us and alot of other people waiting for the ferry's arrival. Around 1 and a half hours of waiting time :(


Onboard the ferry to Laguna Redang Resort!


Finally we reached the island after 2 hours of ferry ride. They said the journey is approximately 45mins. Nice fake :( Not even close!


Attended some short briefing which gave us a rough idea on what to expect during the 3days 2 night stay.



Snapshot of the beautiful beach while heading to the cafe for lunch


Lunch time! the food there is splendid. buffet ftw!


View of the beach from the Cafe! Very beautiful


Checked into our rooms after lunch. We booked a total of 3 "triple" rooms as there were 9 of us there but from this picture, you can clearly see that 1 "triple" room can obviously fit more than 3 people. haha


Another group picture before we head out to the beach!


Our first snorkeling trip. The venue was at some spot in the middle of the sea. What lies underwater is simply breathtaking.


Underwater group picture! You can see the lifeguards pushing us down because some of us were wearing the life jacket.


On the surface this time round

We didnt carry the cameras around with us when we went to the beach for safety reasons. So very few beach photos :(


Dinner time. Buffet again!


Loitering around the area after dinner


Our entertainment for the night was UNO stacko lol but that didnt last long


So we headed out to enjoy the activities going on


Sat at the beach bar to enjoy some drinks and live music!


Breakfast on the 2nd day. Yes its buffet again!


Balcony view of our room.


Spotted a damn squirrel at the balcony


The lobby area


Lunch time on the second day (buffet yet again!)


"Mo Mo Chao" Inn. The only store that sells souvenirs and various esculents there


Brought the camera out wif us this time to the beach!


We wanted to play volleyball but the court was taken up by others.


So we played frisbee instead


The wave over here wasn't as strong as it was in Langkawi. But the cleanness and crystal clear water is the reason why they call this place "paradise"!


Lots of tourists visited this place too during our stay even though its the off peak period. But most were them were Malaysians.




Back to our room!


Our last night was spent turning in as early as 1am because our ferry departs at 7am the next morning and we have to wake up at 530am to prepare to go for breakfast


This was taken at around 615am


All packed up and off we go for breakfast ! :(


Our last meal at Redang. Most of us, including me were very cautious of our intake this time round because we don't want to have tummyache on the 2 hours ferry journey back to Terrengganu. Some others and myself went to the toilet after the meal to "force" smth out but to no avail. haha yes thats how much we fear.


Bidding farewell to the cafeteria!


goodbye to the swimming pool!


Off to the jetty :(


Back at the Terregganu jetty, waiting for our coach to arrive. Around 2 hours of waiting time!


:O


Finally, our bus! Good thing about the journey back was that this coach actually has the video system in it. Which means movies and games to entertain us!


This is the last picture that i have with me now. Take at the Malaysian custom!

There you have it. The chronological order of the pictures taken from the day we set off to the day back in Singapore.

I know ive said this to many people before but i still have to reiterate that this short but fruitful vacation was defintely a blast. Snorkeling, relaxing in the crystal clear water, kayaking to the middle of the sea and swimming so closely to fishes was an eye-opener and exciting experience!

This is my first time going on a holiday with friends and we sure didnt choose the wrong location. Everything was immaculate. Their service was good, food was delicious, accomodation made us feel at home and even the weather was on our side. The only time it rained was during the wee hours of our 2nd night. But it made our sleep more comfortable. Besides that, it was sunny throughout the day

U guys must go visit this place! To quote their tagline " Your door step to Paradise"

That's about it. This entry will definitely be one of those to look back and enjoy in the future. haha

nights!

This killed my throat but it made me a very very very happy person

THANK YOU MACHEDA. HERO OF THE DAY!

i've been to paradise, but i've never been to me

i'm back from redang! will do a proper update again soon.

nights and take care!

tmr will be the anticipated trip to pulau redang with my secondary school frends! Have to reach golden mount at 830pm. Heard from eric that the journey is around 10 hours long. Reminds me of the times during our OSIP where we had to take the coach back to Singapore from Penang every 1month, enduring the torturous 11hrs ride. Some buses have mini tvs installed at each seat and i hope ours will be like those. At least i can watch some movies before i doze off. If not, i shall sleep thru the whole journey with my player in my ears.

Had dinner wif shawn eric and daryl at TM just now. Haven't met shawn for ages. Used to jam with him in the past together with alex, choon and erika. Those were one of many happy and fun times together with them.

A simple dinner, a few mins spent in the arcade and prattles over icemilo at mac ended the night with glee

Lastly, thanks a lot to those who have voted for me for the tshirt competition! really appreciate it. Continue to ask ur other frends to help me! haha thanks

Bye all and see u guys when im back on wednesday!

take care!

Hi !

i've added a little teeshirt gadget thing at the side. Can't seem to align it nicely

but... most importantly

I need u guys to vote for me! its actually a tshirt design contest on antismoking by HPB. So click on it and vote for me! U need to register first and a maximum of 10votes is allowed for 1 user but sadly they only allow 1 vote per entry :(. But nvm just do ur bit and i will be really grateful!

haha thanks!

Been taking up some freelance web design projects wif wz and yh. Pilot Pen will be our first client! Went down to their office to negotiate the pricing and the scope of the project on thursday. Shall not divulge the cost of it here /gg

Feels like im back to school now with all this projects in hand. Main difference is that we are getting paid and that's what motivates me to sacrifice my free time to work on it. So the 3 of us will work on the project tmr at wz's place. He refused to come fetch us :(

I'll end this short entry here cause im meeting Eric now for some supper.

Looking extremely forward to the Redang trip wif them this coming sunday!

Bye all and take care always!

collage of the pictures from our class chalet we had last week!

omg love at first sight

i want this so bad. Spare me $909 anyone :(

The 3rd c140 chalet was fun and well spent. It was held at NSRCC this time round instead of aloha loyang as it was a lot cheaper and definetely way more nicer. However, the downside of it was the inaccessibility to the place. But thanks WZ for being our driver for the 2 days lol

It rained almost the whole day on Monday but luckily it subsided in the evening, allowing us to start the fire for bbq. Even without the rain, we still had a lot of trouble getting the fire started. Wanqi was our "fire starter", just like the previous 2 chalets. We took turns occasionally but seems like only she knows how to do it haha so we gave our support by rooting for her.

The food for that night was awesome with sausages being the most popular dish haha. The satay was a joke at the start because it took like an hour to get it done due to the subdued fire. So the others went in to the kitchen and use the microwave/cooking heater to cook the rest of the food.
The most funniest and fun moment of the whole chalet have got to be the bbq session! loads of jokes and laughters.

Some activities we did include Mahjong, Cavin's board games, card games and some movies on TV. A few of us didn't sleep for the first night as the room was fully loaded.

So we went grocery shopping at bedok in the morning after dropping Wanqi off at tanah merah station. Stocked up cup noodles, chips and bought pastas which was our dinner for that day. Played basketball and soccer in the noon when we got back. Didnt know that we have to pay for the booking of the courts so we took both the soccer and basketball court for 2 hours without even utilising the soccer court and half the duration. They only told us that the total cost was $17.10 after we returned the key :(

The 2nd night was less eventful as we ran out of things to do lol. Many slept early but alicia and me stayed up to watch the Champions league till around 6 in the morning. Had to sleep on chairs after that which ached the shit out of my body.

Reached home at 1015 and took slept till 6. Nothing beats luxuriating in my own bed.

Pictures and maybe videos is with Shellen. Seems like shes the only one taking photos the whole time. Shall steal it when she or the others post it up.

This may be our last class chalet for the next few years at least as us guys will be in NS soon. Sad but true. But it was fun to be able to meet up with almost everyone and chat happily like how we did during year 1.

All the best to everyone's future and endeavours

cheh.....................C140!

haha bye all. Champions league in an hours time!

fuck project show

Just got back from my class chalet. Will update again soon. Overall, its pretty fun!

why does it always have to rain when i want to go for a jog

but the sun is out the whole day when i have other plans

i'm feeling happy because i helped my dad to mop the floor along my corridor because we had a little bbq session today to celebrate my grandma's birthday and the floor was kind of dirty.

I will help out more often now because i derive great satisfaction from doing this!

Notting Hill

"Notting Hill" is a rather old movie which came out in 1999 but i havent watch it until today. Definitely worth the 2 hours siting down and facing my laptop. Hugh grant is without a doubt one of my favourite actors. Love Actually, music and lyrics and notting hill were all wonderful movies. Not forgetting Julia Roberts who is ever so good looking.

Go watch this film if u havent already.

All in all, its about "notting hill meeting beverly hills"

bye!

Ever wondered why the hand is often used as a gesture of farewell?

because hand = have a nice day!

yes i thought of that in the morning when i was in reverie lol

anyway, i'm proud of my frend erika for appearing on channel 5 live'n'loaded and giving a wonderful performance. All the best to Alternative Press!

And not forgetting my frends who are in the midst of their semester exams now. Good luck and lets huat after that!

bye all and hand!

MP Presentation
We had our Mp presentation today at 11am but we agreed to reach sch at 9 to set up and do last minute testing. Its a good thing that we went early because there were lots of hiccups. The most scary thing would be the dropping and breaking of the infra red filter which we all blamed YJ for it because he went up and adjusted the camera. Can sense that Rick is damn angry. Thankfully he had a spare one in his office so YJ was reprieved. The camera and laptop gave us slight problems as usual. Preparations will never ever be plain sailing for us.

But most importantly, our presentation went quite smoothly although we only had 5mins to demo all our applications which was a big rush for us. We more or less managed to answer most of the questions that were being thrown at us. They gave us a lot of recommendations on how to improve our project which until now, is still haunting me because I don't wish to do any more work from now on as i regarded this presentation as the end of the whole major project phase. Sadly, our group will most probably be involve in the project show. This means that we need to implement those recommendations given for the purpose of the exhibition. Sigh seriously, i rather get an average grade and not be selected for the show. But we don't have a choice. Imagine Rick's reaction when we tell him how we feel.

I'm definitely not bragging about the fact that we got chosen for project show. Please dont feel offended. I just want it to end but it remain as elusive as ever.

Veering away from the topic on school, ive yet to find a part time job :( please intro me if u all have any lobangs ok? Till then, i shall spend my time strumming and picking.

I managed to catch the movie "Music and Lyrics" on HBO a few days back. Even though i only managed to watch part of the show on both occasions when i saw it on TV, it is still as funny as ever. The ending is one of the best ever to me. In total, i think ive watch that movie 4 times already and it will remain as one of my favourites always!

Thats about it for this entry. The rate of me writing 1 proper entry now is once a month or somewhere there lol so we'll see whens the next one.

bye all and take care!

i've just experienced the deadliest "sleep destroyer" combo.

lion dance (at the storey right above)

Extremely ear splitting drilling (the storey right above too)

All happening at around the same time. Heck, the drilling had been going on for hours since like 10+ in the morning with short intervals in between. At least they gave me some respite but still!!!!!!!!!

drill drill drill, i hope u drill your brains out

annoying people
