I'm staying in a nice condominium with 2 rooms,so my house is quite nice....i've got everything here including a 2nd hand 5.1 pioneer sound system that one of my rich student sold to me for $60SGD???cheap rite..hahaha...anyway, i'm looking forward to come back in april..so please make urself free...maybe can go to ah ma house and i can introduce her to everyone...take care peeps..and see you guys soon....btw her name is irene lim, chinese but she doesnt speaks chinese..hahahaha....

on my part, i wld like to thank u guys who came and stayed over.. it was remarkably exciting and memorable.. yeah i rmb ying hong counted 5 years since the last time right? simply sweet and amazing that we did it again. had lots of fun studying history, crapping, cracking jokes and playing. first time i could play winning eleven with kuan en yz and sanyeezhang in a league lo.. all on equal standings.. kuan en grew up a bit le i guess.

sort of missing kai ze and shi yun le.. haha tell u all ah, kai ze very sweet lo.. i ask him come gimme hug he really let me hug lo, tink i'll miss that til he comes back next year lo. hey! he's real cuddly lo! =p then shiyun, haha.. so sad abt her tongue lo, got ulcer-like thing lo. too bad jin hui they all nvr come, aiyo.. we bought presents for hong jun in the end he nvr come. loL! duno where're the presents now either lo.

anyway i'm looking forward to the next such gathering.. i can see it le, chinese new year 2008. haha! sorry not the new year cos i wun be arnd on the 31st & 1st.. loL! that would be the time i will showcase the "horny" side (besides stupid and lame) of me lo. oh yeah.. my horns are pointed lo!

and finally since it's probably gonna be my last post before the new year, and i wun be home from the 31st to the 1st, haha HAPPY NEW YEAR my DEAREST COUSINS! yeah sounds mushy but man, haha i'm liddat one actually when it comes to family.. take care, and have a great start to a new year ba. me? i definitely gonna make a good start. like my friend put in his msn nick, from you're down, the only way to go is up. haha! cheers!

eh.. quick check on ying heng's blog shows that we shd have our gathering on the 16th december SUNDAY.. since he got NOTHING on that day so FAR. we must quickly book him de lo.. and it's wkend too, so xiang jing shdn be a prob.

settled on the date? u guys can? i can arrange myself to be free la. i'm thinking nydc heeren. quick quick, buy, sell, search, connect!

edit: sorry i put 13th initially.. lol

Another Suggestion...

Guys, maybe we could get a chalet lets say from 23rd Dec - 25th Dec at downtown east chalet...which is sunday to wed....wont be very expensive though..for 3 days is ard $300 for the chalet...so all chip in a bit...the adults chip in a bit..den okie liao...lolx...or maybe we could ask for sponsors..lolx...or if its just the cousins alone..maybe we could split the cost...sentosa is nice also but i think its all fully booked...

Blog Update - Welivewoodlands v2.01

finished a day of mugging at the lib. gosh.. even ying heng finished his exams le lo.. that's so cool. haha.. i decided to take our blog one step further by switching to the new template of the same design. more options added lo. like the poll.

hope the options are good enuff, else can always choose option e and post ur own ideas too. kk, gg out to meet friends for dinner soon.

i think polling is less messy too. btw mindscafe dun have jus ur ordinary monopoly or scrabble though u can play that if u want. i wun recommend it though :D we cld try blabberdash. it's ridiculously funny.

edit: i duno how the poll works.. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn lo. jus try and pray it works if not try again lor.

3) east coast overnight? (can play alot of stuff there... soccer, fly kite(night time), frisbee, cycle... but the onli prob is P-O/Parental Objection)
4) get some board/card games and invade ah ma house(or whoever's available to rampage XD)
5) go sign up for some adventure camp together... (not sure if there's 1 that can contain all of us)
6) chalet...?

hmmmz... why is yz also gonna get dumped...? :o yz~!! lets try to run~!! we 2 are the fastest among all the cousins anywayz... doubt they'll be able to catch us even if its all on 2... =p

Reviving the blog

kk...been a while since we last updated this blog and i almost forgotten that we even had this blog going on...some updates, now im working in an indian infested area, little india area in serangoon and the street name is the best, Hindoo Road....i might be going overseas to work for a few years if my job interview tomorrow goes well and they give me what im asking for. Will be going to be a lecturer in jakarta teaching design if everything goes well...if not i will be staying put in singapore. Anyway, Next year, XJ and YZ dun even think of escaping from our clutches...anyway good to know that you guys bother to maintain the bonding right here...take care children...

6 days to my first paper, i think i am in medium shit. duno how the rest of uni life will be like. haha! engin's tough alright, but i think it's fun. yeah i am not doing excellent or fine, but i find learning the stuff quite fun lo. sick right?

taking a break that's why i'm here again, hahaz.. cos xiangjing asked me if i had been to the cousin's blog recently ma.. lol! anyway i decided to be a sport and added my own blog link here as well lo, let's keep each others' secrets lo, that's the warmth of being cousins i think. come to think of it i agree with ah en lo, nvr heard of a cousins' blog before too. can talk to me on my own tagboard lo, if possible (u must) keep my blog content to my blog lo. =D

keep on rocking dudes, besides ah en. good luck to the exam peeps lo, and hopefully all these good i am doing will result in some good karma for myself, haha!

2) dinner a) swenson
b) crystal jade
c) fish and co.
d) manhattan fish market
e) lau pa sat
f) dian xiao er (causeway point)
g) tao (near plaza singapura)
3) kbox (i promised myself not to go kbox again but well, cousins' are totally out of this world lo.)
4) minds cafe/settlers cafe
5) just hang out at macs.

haha.. would have added a poll here too.. but that would require us to change the template and i dun have time to do so, have to copy the html for our own segments like links and the tagboard.

kk gotta go back mug le. jus vote in the tagboard lo.

At last...

Ahh... Finally... my first post... Well, to update, i finally created my blog account today~!! =) (dun bother going to the blog though... there wun be anything there... =x) Anywayz, its past midnight le... its my BIRTHDAY~!!! hahaha~!!!

kkay i shall be the next to update since im rotting at home...and everyone's repeating the same qns abt my zhaizhai leg:))

firstly, im back in s'p...
screwed my leg in china, china doc say tear ligament, ligament chip off bone...nid op asap so i ended up in s'p...left ningpo on sun morning... 5 hours ltr reach shanghai aft which another 5 hr flight back to s'p....aft tt got into A&E... doc there did x-ray again...'chipped off bone' disappeared... the doc cant find anything wrong...got my leg into a half cast...today go back for appt...diff doc...says got 3 possibilities...dun understand though...cheem...then ask me do theraphy then see how cux he not sure oso...so im now crutching ard happily without the stupid cast :))

hmm...since ms khor wans update i shall update abt trips,...then we can wait for her update when she comes back...

abt my macau trip...

its supposed to be this 即兴表演 competition lah...like they give each group member their role, khacha! act... ahha...so its fun and everyting...its more of like got a huge variety of games... then we choose and challenge another group who then decides whether for us to play the game first, or to play together...got games like "dubbing" which means a group will have 3 members then each will be given a role by the audience, but onli one of the member will do the talking, for 3 ppl in 3 diff voices, with 3 diff personalities... ahha...and another one would be 2 in a group, A goes out, B remains on stage, audience will decide 1)A's physical feature 2)A's occupation 3)A's relationship with B...after tt A will be asked back in and they will start acting randomly, thru the acting B will try to convey 1)2)and3) to A without being obvious... ahah...so its very based on 默契and teamwork bah...

the competition was really cool..ppl always say go competition is to learn but that kind of feeling has never been present. but somehow this time, there was really this 'go there learn' feeling... and the ppl are just friendly and enthusiastic loh... like everyone just enjoys theatresports and is there for that not to win... esp when groups are acting tgt, in wad is supposedly a "competition", opponents COOPERATE, like best partners with a lot of mo4 qi4, not to win, not to compete, but really just to bring the audience the best of their performance.

china trip...

supposed to be 42 days lah..but i onli went for half... exactly 21 days...:)) haha..so..
yap it was fun...mainly it was sightseeing and universities' professers' lessons...(which are often Zzzz thru-ed except for a few)...and our meals are...really wad u call extravagant...10 course every meal...really huge waste of food...every meal oso restaurant...damn 浪费...

flew to nanjing on 21st oct...basically went to a lot of historical places which are supposed to be linked to lessons..stayed in hotel...then went suzhou...at a sch's tchr's dorm...the 招待is really...WOW kind... buffet for breakfast in a school...but go there sightseeing is basically gardens and gardens...hangzhou..stay in another hotel...sightseeing...not bad oso...shaoxing..one day only...zhenhai...immersion in their sch lah...stay in the students dorm there..this is realli tthe place where u can say we had IMMERSION bah..like realli live a student's life...

their lives are realli rushed i guess... wake up at 6, 6.15 they gotta start morning run le...field not exactly near and they are not allowed to wake up earlier than tt...its realli like wad we watched in a movie when china students wake up, studystudystudy...guess s'p's realli slack in comparison...they hv lessons all the way to 5pm then got other activities...at nite got nite revision till 9pm...morning got morning revision...aft lunch got aftnn revision...so basicalli they gotto rush all the hw they got to do during those periods cux aft 9...they rsh back to dorms, get ready, lites out at 9.30 le.... and its like they shut off the main power...so nth u can realli do like sneak hw to do till midnite unless u take a torch under ur blanket... which is indeed wad they end up doing when they got hw not completed.... aft tt went ningpo...2 days down and my leg got screwed...so ahha..nth much oso...lol...

hmm...i agree... this blog shud not be left to die...so update ppl!! this is a COUSINS' blog...bet its super unique kkay...nvr heard of a coz's blog!! haha..and ya...we really shud have some outing thingy...like our x'mas meal last year...but this time EVERYONE must come de...cannot give excuses worhhh... haha...it seriously feels nice to have activities with cousins rite! ahha...like our long long ago kind of x'mas etc when we were young...so now we shall try some older versions more often!! last year's dinner was not bad...and maybe we shud have some other activities attached and not only a meal?? like go movie, k-box or iceskating(which is now out cux of my zhai leg:p) or wadeva lahh:)) ahha...

really really...must keep this blog alive okay...and 21st birthdays!!:))

haha...so now we are all awaiting the results of our two cousins...zion with his psle, and yinghong with her 'O's :)) so here's good luck to both! must rmb to notify us hor!!!

cousins rulez...<3

Wah.. lag time huh?

2 months since the last post.. this is pathetic sia! lol! thot got a lot of bloggers among us de? hehe.. anyway recent happenings include mid autumn, yz and ying heng's 21st BIRTHDAYs! still waiting for the photos to be posted here leh.. lol! how u guys doing man? felt like haven seen u guys for ages le..

it's 3am lo, i jus finished doing marketing group assignment preparations.. nope. not super mugger, jus that i prefer mugging at this time. but haha.. yup, rare decision to blog now.

i jus went to my good friend's 21st bdae celebration at a chalet recently. haha.. same thing lo.. lots of friends and family. free drama too lor, opposite chalet got drunkard old man quarrel with his adult son, aroused the chalet security and police too lo.. woot!

anyway i realised that so far of all the 21st birthdays i've been to, not a lot though, i think our family, and i mean including the extended families like u guys, is really very closely knit de.. lol, which is good lo. maybe we shd organise more outings lo.. when there's no sch or sth, maybe wkends? anything is possible... cos my friend at yh's bdae was telling me "wah u all family really big lo", and i have to agree lo :D

during our 2 birthdays the biao yees and yee pos all came lo.. sth i dun really see at almost all of my friends' 21st birthday celebs, nope they dun do it twice de.. lol! well, i guess it's cos the cousins, which are our parents and the biao yees & biao yee zhangs, are very closely knit too lo.. hopefully we can keep this going. it probably will be very rewarding to have closely knit family relatives arnd next time lo.

personal update here, since i wld wanna know how u guys doing, might as well start the ball rolling. LOL! i flunk 2/4 mid terms i think.. well, one's a fresh subject lo.. dun really know what went wrong. been thinking abt it recently, like what have i actually learnt these 2 mths.. i nvr slack during mugging lo, but well info jus doesn get in.. maybe it will still take some time loh, but well things are going to change lor :D

those of u still in the jc/secondary/primary education system, exams ended already? i think sec sch end liao right, and pri sch ending soon? haha.. how're things going man?

keep this place alive lo.. like i said i dun tink we shd only use this only when san yee & san yee zhang go overseas lo.. why not now? :D
