Photo recap! [warning:graphic intensive]

This is your only chance... LAUGH, people! LAUGH!

My dear old buspass/studentpass/ezlink card which has been in my possession since sec3! The horrendous photo was taken with a lousy webcam -__-'" (at the AVA room i still rmb!), and taken when i was the fattest ever and with that horrible hairstyle! urghz. in the end, all the rg girls became victims of BAD photography, and this side of my card never saw the daylight since! i always violently declined to show anyone my buspass, especially guys, becuz i honestly look like shit. so you should feel honoured that you actually have the chance to have a glimpse of this picture. in fact, the only person i have obediently shown this card to is... the rj libarian! ahaha! i rmb the first time i borrowed a book, she looked at my card, then looked at me, then looked at the card again before she scanned the card while stifling a giggle! lol! Many girls seem to have a common consensus that this card has sentimental values which make it worth keeping, but i have $30 inside!! sighz. and so, the best i could do to take a shot of my student pass the night before i surrendered it........


Daddy's birthday! My brother said we should celebrate daddy's birthday cuz i won't be in singapore to do such stuff next time... but my mum realised i would be ard in spore this time next yr, but only after she bought the cake, so... hoho... i got to eat another cake before i leave! =P

Dave unexpectedly shove one whole stack of "Project Superstar" live recording tix into my face while i was at my desk and i just exlaimed "wo yao!!!" ahaha... so in the end, i went with linda and shiyun excitedly to mediacorp lalala... and... linda took foto with derrick!!!!!
derrick and dada

and so did i!!!

wahaha! GOTCHA! it's just derrick's board... duh, he's not in the 4th quarter finals la... sad... (but hey, i took great pains to edit the derrick and dada foto k! ask les! ;) my exp graphic-editing program finally put to use!)

But then, with another (HUGE) stroke of luck, i met my 2nd benefactor, yixin, who gave me tix to the Male revival round the following week!!! unbelivable! so we could finally see the real derrick after all! throughout the 2 shows (oh we sneaked into the female show, again! we were so pro at it liao! ;) ) i was busy snapping fotos! but more than half were blur haha... i found this show much more enjoyable than the previous wk's, probably cuz the performances were generally better and the hosts and judges were crazier during the off-air breaks lol!

Will upload the bigger fotos soon and post the link on the right column of my blog!

The day we went down to for the revival show, we shun4 bian4 had our les outing too! =D
les neoprint
Yes, neoprint WAS the fad; yes, you think taking neoprint is girlish or childish or bimbotic. But i'm not afraid to say, i had so much FUN!!! haha... well, i think it's doing these little "silly" stuff from time to time with who else but your dearest friends that really spices up your life! :) this was the most successful and enjoyable attempt at neoprint for me, cuz we had disgustingly so much time to add little pics and write words on the screen! the countdown timer just kept adding bonus seconds by itself! lol! i personally detest time limits: the pressure from time limits never fails to unsettle me so much i freak out and screw up! urghz. that's why i love this neoprint machine we went to and the final products we had! while we were editing halfway, i suddenly exclaimed "OH MAN! i won't be able to do this in US!" and dada and i burst out laughing. such sudden "revelation" has become more n more frequent for me that it's starting to hit me that i'm not just going to cornell soon, i am also leaving spore soon too... (psst... do we have S.H.E de gan3 jue2??? ahaha...:P)


Experiences 2005! Even though i am nothing but a lowly extra volunteer to the organising committee, it's still an honour to be "part" of this pro committee! The magnitude of the event, the set-up of the event venue, the sponsors that were involved, the publicity received, the programme sheets and down to our pro lanyards! -- everything is so impressive! This comm is so professional i'm inspired to organise such huge events in the future too! :) Christina and i were the youngest in the comm haha... well, i became quite accustomed to wide-eyed "Really?" when i introduced myself "i'm entering cornell this year" haha, cuz by right, only current singaporean students studying in US would have heard of, and consequently, help out at E2K5. oh well... within the comm, interacted with many rising sophomores/juniors from various unis... mmm... nice and interesting ppl... as in really nice lor, like seniors offering rides home after meetings... so many of them drive!!! crazily rich ah! budden, i'd probably lose contact with them other than my nice cornell seniors hee...

at the airport
Hee, danxu was visibly pleased to have us sending her off at the airport... just when i thought my last-min effort in gathering ppl down at airport was going to fail miserably, surprisingly 5 of us actually made it in the end, despite 2 barely recovering from their illness, 1 busy helping out at a fair for 10hr non-stop and was dragging her half-dangling sandal there, 1 close to burnt-out from job attachment, and 1 going to see danxu again very soon at the same uni. "True friends"? lol, we had a rather funny chat on that! The simple yet really nice all-girl chat-cum-gathering was pretty satisfying...


wk messing with my cam! well, i realise that IF i ever become a superstar in the future, i would more than welcome the paparazzi chasing after me to snap fotos because: 1) i have a nice hand and nice fingers for them to shoot 2) i know how to block my face yet not block it entirely such that i am still recognizable in the photo 3) i look better in photos with my face blocked leh (erpz!). ahaha... anw, tks for the long-overdue ice cream treat! hehe.. :) to think it started out with a 50cent Mac ice cream cone -- hyperinflation eh? lol..


My long-awaited HUGE Orientation package! yay! i am always extremely excited to receive any mail from cornell, because each mail/package has amazingly flown over half the globe avoiding mishaps to arrive in my hands wow, and because each mail/package i receive means one step closer to cornell! =D Now when i think of the required reading book's title "Things fall apart" i'll be reminded of this fellow freshman's hilarious allusion to his orientation package being manhandled by the postmen such that it's "erm... falling apart" lol! well despite receiving the package for 1week already, i haven't started reading the book! :P inertia la... haha..

webcam shot!
PUB gave each of us 2 Creative webcams as a present on our scholarship presentation ceremony today! hehe... Although we have enough webcams at home already, this webcam is superior man! well, the first test shot of the webcam has to be tested on -ahem- my face right... hahaha... (this is what flo calls "zi lian-ing" aha) anw, the ceremony was really quite formal! well i was told it would be more than a simple lunch with CE ceremony, but i still underestimated the magnitude... It's not too bad to be under a scholarship board with not that many scholars huh? =P
