Back from Genting

Wah, Genting is so much fun.

Day 1
Went there by the coach bus in the morning.Had 2 stopovers in between the journey. Then around 3 reached Genting.The place changed so much since I last visited it. Its so much bigger now and more well developed.Took like 20 mins to find my way round to the hotel and finally after clearing all the administrative stuff, went into the hotel room. Quite comfortable inside. They had a Panasonic 29' TV with ESPN, Star Sports and lots of great channels. Then moved down to the Times square to look and explore the place. More shopping and food outlets than before. Shopped till like 9pm before going back to the hotel to watch soccer and sleep.

Day 2
Had light breakfast before going to the outdoor theme park. Quite nice and bigger than before I should say. Not many people at around 8. So after taking the monorail train around the outdoor and indoor theme park just to find out more on where the attractions were, I rushed to take the roller coaster named cyclone. Quite ok, not really that scary. Then rushed off to the Go Kart station. Wah seh, the Go Kart is so slow. I pushed the accelerator to the fullest and it still moved at such a slow speed. Later on tried some other rides at the outdoor theme park. Except for the corkscrew, space shot and a special attraction which I forgot the name, all the other rides "no kick" (not really that scary) The special attraction is so fun. Its a roller coaster where you do not sit but go around the whole track in the position of Superman, that is, in a horizontal position. Later on found out that the indoor theme park offered the rock wall, archery and snow world too.

After lunch, went for the indoor theme park. Most of it are non-scary rides. The indoor roller coaster was not even scary at all and people were like screaming at the top of their voices. Those having their meals at the ground level were always looking up to see who was screaming. Went shopping after realising that I had cleared most of the rides at the theme park. Not bad, they have this haunted adventure thing and Ripley's believe it or not station there. Did fast window shopping till about 6 and proceeded to the arcade. Played a few video games before realising that I should have spent the money playing the funfair type of games. Had so much fun there at the arcade, but collected like only 140 points when combined together with my brother. Anyway, I still won quite a lot of prizes there, like a snowman keychain, a clean-up set, a paper clip, an elephant soft-toy. Obviously, going to Genting without visiting the casino is like not even visiting there in the 1st place. After asking me and my brother to stay in the hotel room, my parents rushed off to the casino.

Day 3
Woke up at 7. Looked out of the window and saw nothing but the clouds. Mum told me to go down to the Times square to settle breakfast by myself and to meet her at 9.30 in the room. Walked around looking for a place to eat. So difficult to decide, there was so much good food there. Took me quite a while before deciding to eat nasi lemak. (cos self-service so able to take as much as you like) Then spent the rest of the time walking around. the shops were not even open and I walked 15 times around the whole plaza hoping to see more shops opening. Then at 9.30 walked back to the hotel room before going down to the Times square again.(Mum and brother wanted to eat there whereas Dad zoomed off to the casino again) This time, more shops opened and I was able to buy some stuff to bring back home. In total, I walked like 25 rounds throughout the plaza. At 12.30 left Genting and now is the time where something took place. During the bus journey, Mum went to the back of the bus to chat with her friends. I went to her place looking for something to eat and found this biscuit at the back netting of the front seat. I opened the sealed biscuit and started eating. Soon, mum's friend came along and saw me eating. She said" Mervyn, so selfish, dont offer me some." Obviously I knew she was joking and gave her a few biscuits. After eating some, she said it was quite tasty and took more. When Mum came back to her seat, her friend who was eating away asked her where did she get those biscuits. After much clarification, I found out that the biscuits was left behind by the previous batch of passengers. I was hoping that I wont get a stomachache in the middle of the journey. Fortunately for me, I didnt. Reached home at about 9 plus and dropped down to bed, had tution the next day. So much fun.


CY is going to HK this Sat. So good. Gonna have another person offline for 10 days.

Tarot cards

Wah, sparked off an interest for Tarot cards. Was just thinking of how one could predict and find out about one's future and get a little peep at what might happen to him or her on certain aspects in their life. Then I thought of Tarot cards.Got a little interested at first and started browsing internet sites to get a view of what people do with their tarot decks.Now I am totally all out for a Tarot deck after seeing how people could predict so much stuff with it and the cards in the various positions tell you about your future and various aspects of life.Told Jamie about it and she showed some interest.Gonna teach her when I get the skills of doing so. Terrific!

Going to Malaysia tomorrow.Gonna see a new Genting. Heard that much change was done for the past few years. However I would still prefer to go to Bangkok or KL or HK. Cos there is somehing that I like, SHOPPING.Haha, people at my tagboard are calling me the shopping queen.Nvm.Shopping king sounds nicer.

Went to the SITEX computer fair yesterday morning.Wah so much technology stuff there. Went there to buy a DVD-burner. Persuaded Mum over the phone to buy it and told her 1 of her favourite benefits, the DVD-burner enables you to burn DVD rom including DVD drama serials.Upon hearing it, haha, she told me to get one but must be worthwhile one, not one with a lousy brand and have to go through the hassle of refunding. Bought the LG burner and they came with a 25 piece blank DVD-rom special offer.Now, I can burn all the DVD drama I want liao, especially the korean and Hong Kong ones. Started buring the complete Full house series and Love in harvard.

May the Manchester United ex-soccer star George Best rest in peace. Doctors said that he might not live through the next 24 hours. He had done well for the club and brought the club to their UEFA champions league cup.Well done George. You have done your best for Manutd and rest in peace.

Just heard Fan Wei Qi's "I think I" song. It is the chinese version of the Full House sub song.Quite nice but I stil prefer the korean version.

Christmas is nearing soon. Just love Christmas. Like the previous years, I will surely celebrate Christmas at Justin's house. Christmas is just my favourite public holiday. Presents aside, the streets will be decorated with snowy, greenish and reddish items. Orchard road will be so crowded and wah, just love to see the Christmas round the corner. "Ring, ring, ring, Santa Clause is coming to town."

Will miss Love in Harvard tomorrow. Wont be able to watch it. Meanwhile continue tagging people. Thanks! =)

Need for speed - most wanted

Wow, just got Need for speed most wanted game yesterday. The game is so cool, with the police chases and the race downtown and all the free ride and stuff. The graphics also improved a fair bit, though not really that comparable to Burnout ( my favourite ). Well, anyway the overseas trip NP people are back and yeah more people online. Oh and I have a new member on my tagboard, Raphael. Welcome Raphael! Bet you found your way here through Jamie's blog.Finally I spelt your name correctly,haha.Heard that there was lots of shopping at Genting.Hope so because I would prefer shopping and the arcades to the amusement parks there. Actually I hoped to go to Bangkok. That place is shiok. Been there thrice made me familar with the place for great and cheap food, all the shopping malls with all the super cheap but authentic goods. Let me drift off a little. For food, go to Chinatown in Bangkok. Wah the seafood most shops sell there is fantastic, the sharkfins, lobster, prawns, crabs, pineapple rice, calms. Terrific. And what's more all these for like $80 for 4 people. Cheap. Then there is shopping at Mahboonkrong. As a minister had said, some Singaporeans know Mahboonkrong better than our own Orchard road. Haha, I am just one of them. Mahboonkrong is like the Orchard road of Singapore.Difference? The price of goods. Oh, the Big C supermart there is worth going too.Its like a Carrefour.Have you ever got 20 small pack of Lays for like $5? You can get them there. Ermmm, better stop here. Carrying on would furthur make me wanna go there. Oh I just realised after viewing may friendster profiles yesterday that many people do watch channel 55. Haha, thought that only a few people watched it. Great channel. And they are having a vote for your favourite annual drama. They dont have Love in Harvard as one of the choices or else I would go all out for it. However, they do have full house. So obviously, I would go for full house then. The Hongkong drama were great too, but full house is still better. That's why I say that channel 55 is a great drama channel, most of the best dramas I have watched are showed there.
ok nothing much to blog about now. Continue tagging people and thanks a lot!

Love in harvard

Love in Harvard is so nice. I feel like watching all the episodes at one whole go. Why is it nice? Watch it and you will know. Ok, so the pyhsics retest today. Eunice told me to come at a normal school time so wont late for sure. So , I woke up at a normal school time and then in school, saw all the NP people gettng ready to go for the overseas trip. Must be fun to go for the overseas trip but sadly, I have the physics re-test and I am going overseas too this weekend. Then YC called me twice to ask where I was and what time the re-exam starts. The physics retest was quite ok, but not confident if can really get a good grade. Then, YC told me that he went to catch Potter J8 last night and ended up home quite late. Haha, then his mum called him 7 times during the re-exam. He did not tell him mum about the re-exam and so his mum questioned him where was he and stuff like that and told him to get his a** home now. Haha. So, without Jamie for like 3 days cos she is at the overseas trip. Short of 1 person to tag now. Hah, but I still have Eunice. Oh and have to help Jonatons get his blog up too while he is away with the NP people in Malaysia. Hmm, after watching all the advertisements, I really look forward to going to watch chicken little, but with who? not sure yet. YC said that he could not get enough of Hermonie. Haha, said that he joined the fanclub. Ok, now to address some issues on my tagboard. First, thanks Gary Phua for tagging. Its been such a long time you came. I am sure you enjoyed standing at the WCG for such long hours. Next, Jamie let me tell you something. It is obviously me that you came here to tag cos who helped you with your blog music ah. And the person whom you said was the lady behind my back is getting a little fustrated. The statement is not true why, cos she already has someone in mind liao. But I would still like you to tag some nice stuff cos Jamie is such a nice perosn right?Haha. Dont worry cos CY ..... you. Haha. Nothing much to blog about now. Come back tomorrow.

So Happy!!!

I am so so so so happy today. Maybe Yu Han will say that I am back to my usual mood swing again but I am so so happy. Firstly, I completed much of my Physics revision today. Secondly, I made some changes to my blog and as all of you should be able to hear, I have uploaded music to my blog. And it is my favourite Canon in D. Haha, I will have to thanks Michelle Chai for that. She told me where to upload the music files and well, now I got what I wanted. Thirdly, aunt bought siew mai to my house before going for a game of mahjong with Dad. The siew mai was so nice. Ate like 5. Made me feel like going for dim sum.Haha. Then there is Ai zhai Ha fuo (Love in Harvard) at 10.30 on channel 55 tonight. Wah, looking forward to this show. Well, all these may be some minor things to others but it cheers and lights up my day. Oh yeah, Cheng Zhong also wrote me a testimonial. Haha. He does not really like to write them. The only thing that upset me a little was the poor turnout of people online today. Whew, only some people online only and many of them had only little time to spare online. Oh, CY went to watch Potter with CZ today. Haha, CY was like asking many to go but only 1 person could make it, that is the ZHNPDWA logistics head Ong Cheng Zhong. Oh to settle some issues. First, Jamie. Wah you very nonsense leh. go type those stuff on mt tagboard. Haha, but nvm, having you tag something is better than having you tag nothing. But as all can see from the tagboard, what a considerate person she is when she typed that she had no offence to Yu Han. Oops, no wonder CY .... you. Haha.Next, Eunice. this one, even more monsense. Ask you to tag then go tag so much and somemore tag some stuff that you should not tag.Haha. Do you know the penalty for copying what Jamie said. Bet you dont. CY will come looking for you. Haha. This is just some nonsense written by me to the NP people. Take it easy people. Joking only. I would be more than happy if you can come to tag. But, now I know what really attracts the NP people to come tag.Haha.Suddenly there is just a huge increase in the number of tags. Not what I used to receive at my old blog. Continue tagging people and enjoy the nice music!!

Cracked 2 jokes with me. Having road marshall duty later on at 6. Had to call for some back-up people cos of some unforseen incidents. But nvm, as long as there are 10 people, nothing will go wrong.Oh, Jamie tagged at my tagboard after what seems to be such a long time. I think the last time she tagged was like hmmmm, 5 months ago? Not sure. Next time must force her to tag.Haha. No, after serious considerations, better not, cos CY a.k.a Da Ge will be coming after me. Haha.

All too much

Second post today. I feel that I have done too much, felt too much, saw too much, knew too much, heard too much and thought too much. Guess its time to cool down and rethink what I really want. I just got so touched and motivated by these quotes.

- Attitudes are self-created. You can either choose to be victimised by circumstance and people, or choose to look at life with an open mind and be victorious. NO one else can choose your attitude for you. Your perspective and choice of attitude gives you the power to be in control. That is the essence of true freedom.-
From Irene Dunlap

-You cant have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.-
From Charles F. Kettering

-Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. If some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenly and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.-
From Ralph Waldo Emerson

-We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medly of life. But we can decide what happens in us, how we can take it, what we do with it and that is what really counts in the end. How to take the raw stuff of life and make it a thing of worth and beauty, that is the test of living.-
From Joseph Fort Newton

-Lots of people want to ride with you in the Limousine, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the Limousine breaks down.-
From Oprah Winfrey

-Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.-
From Buddha

And my own quote? A mixture of some together. - Life goes on everyday, whether we like it or not. But we have the deciding factor on whether our life goes on in our way, whether we are choose to be hurt or be happy. Therefore, we must appreciate what we have now and treasure them. Remember, nothing lasts forever.-

"feng"

Haha, as I have mentioned in my blog. Nothing is impossible.Cos, i have managed to memorise "feng".haha.this is terrific. Can sing with CY tomorrow liao. Wah, fantastic man. Just saw Jonatons and CZ at the bus stop. They came back from EXCO meeting.Told both of them about last night what happened on msn. Both of them were like laughing and well, what all NP people predicted may come true after all. CY and .........(cant be mentioned). And the news from the CY "camp" was found to be very reliable. Anyway, we are going to teach CY how to spike hair.haha.CZ will lead it, we will watch.Hmm, thinking if I should go watch Potter with CY, cos he like so bored thereand erhermm not going too.Oh Eunice just logged in to msn. almost got into a stage of changing my mood just now. Hah, but I still managed to retain my happy cool mood. Ah, just got an idea. Maybe I should put "feng" into the blog. that would be perfect. Hmm, going to ask the HTML pros how to do it. Still feel some kind of confusion about some stuff. But well never mind, time will heal all wounds and show the true colours of the situation. Not going to let this change my mood. * Control *

Oh, and CY is asking people to see Potter. Haha. Eunice and I just had a good chat on CY and Jam. Haha. Oh and I am going to some kind of ice-cream buffet too. And I am told to control my temper cos I have been found to have mood swings and cold to someone. So, have to correct myself now, cos the person has a higher status, the godsis of my mischievous cousin. And the person so good, wrote me testimonials. Well, ATC made me darker now, better in fact, cos I lost the tan from OBS.Going to be able to mesmorize the song "feng" so that can sing to CY this Friday during music and movement. Haha.

Jay

How lovely are Jay Chou's songs. His recent album is so nice and it is defintely terrific. i just love song number 1,4,6,10,11,12. I have been like hearing to it for the past few days. All thanks to Gary Phua, who kindly lent me after I revealed some kind of secret to him.lol.Feeling so kind of lost now. Hmm, not sure what I am thinking of these few days. Just feel so lost and unsure of what to do. Oh yeah, from these few weeks, I found out that Gary Phua is not what I thought he is to be. I previously thought of him to be so unconerned about stuff around him and so on. But, I realised I was wrong. He was actually not what I thought he was to be. Hmm, a new angle of him. The tagboard is so cold. lol. No one's tagging it.Nvm. oh before I forget. I had a happy incident today. While walking up to the classroom from the canteen, Abigail commented that my hair was nice. I was so happy when I heard that. In the past, Gary would call me a UFO head and Cheng Zhong would call me a mushroom. The hols are coming soon. Have to really concentrate on studies. However at the same time, there is going to be some time to relax. Hmm, looking for places to go in Singapore. These few days keep making fun of Jamie, Eunice and Fiona. I will go call them and just tell them in chinese "jiao shuang". Haha, then they did not fall for my trick after a few times and even attempted to trick me. lol. Oh, the Yu Han conflict was resolved too. Wah, did not think that she would think so deeply into the matter. Well, that shows that she is quite considerate about other's feelings too. How can I forget Mich, the person who taught me how to style my hair.lol. All thanks to her, my hair is given a new look. THANKS MICH!! =) Oh, she spoke like a daffy duck yesterday and today cos she had some kind of stuff in her teeth. Not many people are online now, well maybe it is in the afternoon. Will blog soon, say tomorrow. hmm. ok thats all for now. Oh yeah, I am gonna have a quote everytime at the end of every entry.

"" Every broken clock is right twice a day ""

Cut Hair

School was fine today. So off to blog about after school. Went with Mich, Yu Han and Gary Phua to Toa Payoh for lunch. The three of them ate fishball noodles and Yu Han was the slowsest in eating even though she got her food faster than Gary Phua. Then Mich wanted to go for a haircut. So we accompanied her to the shop. I managed to convince Gary Phua to cut his hair there. So I watched Mich cut her hair and well, she wanted to get her usual hiarstyle but this time with to cut some areas shorter. First time saw Gary Phua cut his hair. Many people were talking about his unusual hiarstyle so I wanted to see what type of hairstyle he would specify to the barber. When they started cutting at first, I did not see anything strange until when they came to the styling his hair part. Wow, he looks as if he is having his hair styled by one of the professional hair-dressers. And of course, it was the first time I saw his hair so nicely styled. Did not look like the usual him. Actually I did not expect him to follow me to have lunch with Mich and Yu Han. Hmm, discovered that he is quite sporty too. Then, went home and received a sms saying that someone was unhappy that I was ignoring her at the hair-dressing shop. So what did I do? Rushed to bath and went to the library to see what was going on. Stayed there for a while before going to Popular. So now what. I just received a sms saying not to reply, so what to do now? Dont reply lor. lol. Ah, going to cut hair tomorrow. Why? Got tempted by Mich who kept pushing me to cut hair. Anyway, my hair is getting long and it is time for a cut too since the camp is nearing. At first had much to blog about the last few days, but forgot about it. Oh before I forget, thanks Gary for tagging and dont forget the Jay Chou Disc tomorrow cos I have told you my secret ah.Mich should know best what it is about. haha. seeya!! :)

Hols

The hols are here. For many, it is a time to relax. But for me, not so much. Need to study. Anyway, ATC coming soon and this Sat is Flag Day. Nothing much to blog anyway. Maybe that's the reason why the tagboard is quite cold. But there is one exception, cos Mich the kind soul just came to tagg. Thanks Mich :) Anyway, she should know the reason why she is called a kind soul. lol. The royal highness is so good.Invited me to her house. When I tried to turn her down, excuses like having manicured fingers came out of her mouth.Haha.I will try to go ok. Oh yeah, we also had a few exchange of sweets recently. Of course, initiated by me first. Justin was admitted to hospital just a few days ago. Had some kind of lung inflamation. The result of eating too much sweet stuff. Shall blog more tomorrow.
