Back by Popular Demand?!?!

Well, as you had seen, I had not been blogging and the primary reason is my Laziness. 'No Time' is the secondary reason as I had been ideling around every morning. In fact this entry is created as I had nothing to do.. Work is at 4:30pm however i am already here at Magic Kingdom Tunnel at 3:30pm. Which is why i am blogging to kill time..

So what have i been doing recently? Well, after my last lesson of Phase 1, I had been having lots of fun every week.. No school=fun! I certainly enjoyed myself so much. Not like now, school every sat again! SUPER NO LIFE okay??

Hmmm.. So what had I exactly been doing? Top of my list: Had not been watching my diet, eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eating good food every weekend. Dining at Norway, Japan(Epcot), France(Epcot), Olive Gardens, Ponderosa, Brazilian Buffet, Cape May Cafe at Beach Club, Crystal Palace Dining at Magic Kingdom etc etc.

To think about that, it is really quite scary to eat eat eat.. Though I had been going to gym (say a few times lalalalala) and trying to watch my diet on weekdays, I am pretty sure I had put on a lot a lot. Just try comparing the pictures i uploading previously and now. HAHA Looks like i am going to trek everyday when i head back to Singapore....

Alright.. SO much for now.. Some pictures to share..

Vista Way Apartment, my apartment.. But look carefully.. Found a duck beside a pool? It swims there with us though... :)

21st June marks the Last Day of Semester 1

Today is the last day of Phase 1 in University of Central Florida (Rosen College of Hospitality Management) . Finally, we'd finished the 7weeks of School and it's time for break (from 21st June till 1st Aug). And school will resume in 2nd August. And below is the 2 modules i'll be attending. And GOSH! Most of us (NYPians) sign up for Internationaly Travel n Tourism Management and lucky enough, we'll all be in the same class 9:45am-11:45am. HA will once again have the chance to Unite- Stacie, Christine and Myself. Cassandra, Sandy, Agnes, Qian Rui, Eisney, Cheng Ying etc...... Whole flock in the same class.. MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Now we have more people than the noisy, talkative brazilians!

I thought my Themepark Management Professor- Bryan is going to teach Event Management this Phase 2, which is why I sign up for it. Damn! No lor, he said he'll still be teaching Themepark Management.. Sigh.... Should I change my module to Leadership instead? Hmmm

Did you noticed that from 11:45am till 1:00pm is lunch time? Ya, UCF provide free lunch for me.. But not so FREEEEEEEEEEEEE though cos' we'd paid USD2ooo for school fees and meals. Meals by UCF is the worst American food i ever had.. Every week is burgers/pizzas/pasta. I got so sick of it! But today was not too bad, i had Chick-Fil-A and ICE-CREAM!!!! This is the first time we had ICE-CREAM!!!

After lunch was the Horrid of all Horrids!!! It's the Branding Exam; which I stayed at home whole of Fri just to study for it. Although they are all MCQ, need to get more than 70% in order to get Certificate of Honours. So, no choice i spend my whole Fri to memorise this(Below) sheet of paper-double sided, which is like Giam Cai now! HAHAHA

And ya, once i got the test paper, i almost Burst Out into Laughter! It's the easiest Exam paper i'd ever had. Basically just fill in the blanks. Like Grammar and Vocabulary MCQ which i got when i was in Pri School. We, Singaporeans finished that in just 2 minutes or so. But the chatty students from Brazil, Peru, England etc... Took so long to finish man, maybe they didnt study la. We handed in our papers and got this sheet of paper back!

I was wopping with joy when i saw this! FULL MARKS for my Branding Project on Mount Faber-The Jewel Box. Oh My GOSH! I'll never ever got a chance to score full marks for ANY of the projects in the Stressful Singapore Schools (SSS). We had 15-20minutes of break and when we came back, we had some article discussions- which the 'machine gun' starts rattling on and on again..... Professor Jeff gave out our Exam Paper and GOSH! We scored FULL marks again! HAHAHA So unbelieveable ya? HAHAH

Ok that marks the end of Phase 1, the end of Hospitality Branding. So much for my happy ending!!! Terrence, Bel, Loummy and I scored Full marks for both Proj and Exam! HAHAHA I thought it was really a joke to score full marks. Terrence scored full marks for his F&B project too! Education system here seems to be quite relaxed hor.. HAHA but nvm, i like.. hehe

We had a small photo-taking session. And obviously, the man in the centre is our Professor- Mr. Jeff Weinland. From left: Belinda (my room-mate, proj-mate), Stacie, SHIT-ing, Prof Jeff, Terrence and Christine!

YAY! Finally i heaved a sigh of relief. It's over and time i plan for Vacation! First stop on my list is Busch Garden! I'm in the process of planning for that! Cant wait for the day to come--- HARD RIDES!!!! :):)

Shopping Spree

I had just realised that I still have a blog which wasnt updated for a million years. HAHA :) so finally i had decided to do so. So how's life here in USA?

Well, shopping shopping and more shopping that i only have USD$0.59 in my Partners Checking Account! So what had I bought these days?

1) Plenty of Coach Bags (but sorry Jia Xuan, i couldnt find the ones u want). Not all are for me, mostly of them are gifts :) :) So be nice to Shi Ting cos you'll never know when u'll receive a Coach Bag hahaha :):)

2) Burberry Tee are on Sales. 3 for USD$149. So i got them for my Brother

3) Victoria Secret lotion

4)Converse Sneakers which you'll never see the same design in Singapore (err, i suppose so la) Damn cheap, only USD$19.

5)Armani Exchange Pants which is less than USD$20

6)Polo Ralph appareals

7)Timberland Tees

8)Calvin Klein and many many many many many more........

But most importantly, i am a great Fan of Tommy Hilfiger now. I bought the most from TH--> Kids wears thou i do not have any Kids, Polos for Brother, Pants, Blouses etc etc...

I enjoyed shopping so much now, which i don really do so in SG. So i could say i am finally a lady! HAHAHA :):)

A day out with SP n NYP students to Prime Outlet

I kind of enjoy living in US now that i had found a group of extremely fun SP friends. Well, that was one of the many reasons la.. I feel that US is so carefree unlike Singapore which is rather stressful. Everyone is so ching, so biang and you will automatically be like that.. Ever since i adapted to the life here, i had been enjoying every of my off day.. And on 10 May, i planned a gathering session to Prime Outlet with 2 SP boys, 2 International Students and a flock of NYP students....

It was a long journey i can say.. Abt 50 min bus ride but damn cheap. Only a quarter, which is 25 cents as we are cast member of Disney.. Cool ya?

It's kind of common to see such things in US... A jet flying with a banner which says...
<3 Congrats Mr&Mrs Steven Michalenski (So sweet ya?)
We went to Outback Steakhouse for Dinner at about 11pm at night. Its a restaurant and thats teh first time i visit such Tiped restaurant.. As it is late, I din want to have a full course meal and so i order this!!!!! Its some kind of Onions la, they deep fried it. When the waiter came, he said 'if u can finish this by your own, i'll put your name at the wall of the restaurant'. It was a deal... BUT honestly, if anyone here could finish it, i'll buy you buffet at some hotel.. Cos, u would feel like puking half way through.. SERIOUS!!!
At Tommy Hillfiger- as usual, i was shopping for some kids clothing. Aloy hao-lianing his new Versace sunglasses which is so damn cheap- USD95 only.. Trying to act as though he is playing w the kids hahah... Ya, the sunglasses is cheap and i am waiting for my Gucci one to come- USD 105, quite a reasonable price ya? hahaha

Finally Updated! Hello from Orlando :)

Hellos from USA! I apologies for not updateing my blog. Previously i was trying to adapt to US, my room-mates, my work and etc. And most of all, i was having homesick badly.. now at least its better now and i finally i have some time to myself. hehe :) so some photos of what i had been doing for the past 3 to almost 4weeks. An ya, i went Hollywood Studios yesterday and i had lots of fun! I enjoyed it so much and it's a good way of relieving stress. haha :)

Awesome Cinderella Castle (fireworks every night at 10pm and i will watch it everyday! haha)

Seizing every Moments...

As my days in Singapore are limiting, my social life gets Jucier. I've been enjoying these 2 weeks very much! Well, that would also mean giving up relief teaching for 2 weeks(3weeks including March Holis)Hmmm, this would mean no Vit M input to my trip :(

To think about that, i feel rather scared as there're really many hidden cost to the trip yet i had no input to cover these costs. All thanks to myself for rejecting the MANY offers by Unity. They called me almost everyday but i had been rejecting even when i'm free till i can beat mosquitos!

But Aiyoyo, just when i'm determined to head back to Unity this week should they call me, SAPS called! WHY LIKE THAT? I was waiting for SAPS call for these 2 weeks but they didnt call. Now when i am ready to head back to Unity, SAPS called! I' went down down to SAPS on Mon-Wed....I really did enjoyed myself!! Well, i was quite reluctant yet i accpeted the offer as i really need Vit M to live comfortably in US. However, i got very excited n looking forward when i hear that Alexstine will be in SAPS for the whole of next week. YAY.. I wont feel that lonely then although we're in different sessions.

Well, so much for the boring, mundane stuff i have! hahaha Time for me to share some interesting events i had lately..

23/03/08

Went temple in the morning. And another round of Buffet at night! My 3rd round in just 2weeks!

Mom and myself!

Shawn and His Mom

24/03/08

Rent 'My Love', a korean serial which i got hooked up after watching 2 episode in Ch56. Began to watch non-stop... It talks about this widow with 4kids, wanting to re-marry to her chu lian qing ren. However there's so much obstacles to overcome. Will they be together in the end? Completed the whole serial and ya la cliche ending. They are together...

25/03/08

Went to school for a briefing regarding OIPP. Went shopping with Joyce after that but i didnt buy much. Just a Mickey Mouse Tee for my brother.

27/03/08

I went for another round of Photo Shooting !! A whole day event.

Session 1: 9am-12pm

The session this time round is for a banner shot which will be hanged ouside the auditorium; replacing 'NYP celebrates 15 yrs'. Very excited but it's not a Confirm case that my group's photo will be up. Well, there's 3 different combinations for the banner shot. I was in for 2 combinations. So not sure if the combinations which i am in will be selected a not.. Hmmmm

Session 2: 3pm-6pm

This is basically the formal, business shot. A smaller but crazier group now that the ever chatty Alexstine is in the picture! Was fun la but one thing i dislike was the make-up which is so thick like some stage make-up! Not only that, the make-up artiste clip my hair up n my face look damn big! Sigh...

After that was a farewell dinner with Uncle Dan n Alexstine. The last time the 3 of us met was sending Alexstine off at the Airport last sept. We went to this wonderful Fishy place called the Fisherman Warf at Clarke Quay. I could say the fish is real fresh n tender. Crispy in the outside n super tender inside. No service charges and it's cheaper than Fish & Co. And its so much nicer than Fish & Co. Its a must try man! :):)

It's a hectic day for me as i have to rush home for Shawn's birthday celebration after getting a huge soft toy from More Than Words... Reached home at 935pm and the whole thing ended at about 1030pm. Finally i can get bathed and rest! Long day for me man!

28/03/08

Finally i meet up with my dearest Gracey Grace for dinner! Since we were in orchard, went to look sor Shawn again! hahah.. And since Alexstine n Jerrold are around in Orchard, we meet n had dinner together! :):)

30/03/08

Met up with my fellow Union of the Bpian Relief Teachers. Had a farewell lunch at Lot 1 Pastamania.. Fact: Jocelyn is a staunch Christian. Elaine didnt turn up! hahaha.. One more interesting fact of the day! I HAVE AN AMAZING UNCLE! I went to my Grandma house for dinner n my uncle made pepper Crab! HEAVENLY.... I ate almost the whole huge crab! hahah

See! Interesting Life I am leading ya?

Get Alive!

I had a great time un-leashing my first 'times' with him. My first time visiting Vivo, first time dining in NYDC, first time trying my turkish dish and not forgetting my first cong you bing.... Despite the short time frame, I did enjoy myself n glad that Guan Yin Ma had crossed our paths; that once in my life, i had such wonderful friend. A fantastic frank friend whom is worth to keep in this life.

Well, probably those marvelous time are jus fantasy in my life. So its time I GET ALIVE!Holy cow! I am going to fufill the things which yet to be done in this holis! This would start from..

TREKKING

done on the very holy day of the year. Good Friday!

I had not trek for monkey years, ever since school had started. Finally, i broke the egg on Easter Day n went Trekking!! Well, I certainly miss the greens, the monkeys, the spider-webs, the morning dew and many undiscovered surprises. Well, i was so determined to trek from BT Hill down the hill, all the way to MC Ritchie. However, to no avail as I wasnt in good health condition lately. Having indigestion, stomache, gastric pain, giddiness, feeling breathless and the worst thing is insomnia! Dont know what the hell had happened to me lately! Arghhh...

Nonetheless, i managed to climb up the BT Hill and trek around BT Hill n down the Hill. The whole process took me about 2h 30min...

On my way to the BT Hill

Getting up to the peak is a piece of cake if you were to go by the normal route. Jus like wad i am doin now

But it'll never be if you try to trek around the hill. There are many routes n this is the first time i tried such tough route. Up n Down the steep stairs, muddy ground, sorching sun and worst of all.. i was'nt in a good condition. Look at my pale like sheet face.. very very very Qiao Cui..

Another fantastic view.. The tranquility of the surroundings were felt. But sadly, i was too exhausted to take them.. Other time ba :):)

Well, After the ever tiring trekking session, i went to Beauty World for brunch. Believe if or not, i am craving for cong you bing lately. I know its fattening.. but dont know what happen, i simply love it. From the aroma of the cong, to the crispy crust and finally to the tenderish bread. Oh.. just one word to describe. HEAVENLY

Hmmm.. much as i want to continue blogging, i ought to stop here as my stomach seems to be growling n growling. The un-welcomed pain causing me to fart non-stop. Damn it! I shall answer to Nature's Call now! Shall blog soon again...

Fact of the day: 10 days left to an amazing chapter of my life; probably the sweetest moment in my life :):)
