The ktv gang went to Genting!! WOOHOO!! It was definitely an enjoyable trip as its the company that matters most... There were a total of ten of us.

Well, most of our time were spent in the casino as usual. I did not gamble much this time as I did not bring enough money for it. But I felt lucky! Matt and me were randomly chatting on the way up to genting. I was telling him to bet the number '9' as its my lucky number.

Once we reached the hotel, put down our stuff. We had our lunch at KFC becoz the chicken there tastes much better than singapore's KFC! Yummy~

After lunch, we set off to the casino and wandered around. I was wandering around to a "big small" table. I had no malaysian ringgit with me and therefore I could only watch... And then, the number '9' appeared!! OMG!! i missed my chance of winning! crap... oh well.. no choice...

So i continued wandering around... wandered to the roulette tables. Matt was nearby and he joined me. Then he said "ay, bet 9 lah.. " I told him that theres 36 numbers.. "so very difficult one lah... " then bloody hell!! really number 9!!! crap x 2!! sickening... no choice again lor...

After wandering around for quite awhile, i sat down to play some jackpot and lost 40ringgit in 30mins.. sianz... duno whether shud feel lucky or unlucky...

Its papa's birthday. We went to noblehouse (again) for dinner, yummy! 8 of us, including my 2 cousin, Shawn and Ian were gobbling down the food haha Great dinner! I bought emicakes' durian cake, intended to eat after dinner but we were all too full for it, so we brought it to our next destination. We went to ktv at shenton way and sang the night away...

*please go to http://ktvfreak.blogspot.com for our ktv session.

Sunday afternoon, a few of us smarkys gathered at HY's place to hang out and also celebrate SZ. Attendance was alrite, given that there were 5 of us to start with. Bought some fruits and tidbits and started holding a mini picnic at her place. We ended watching a dvd at the living while pigging out on the tidbits.

Matt came over to pick me up for dinner with his family. We had ala-carte buffet at UOB plaza's 60th storey. Cant remember the name of the restaurant haha.. Dinner was alrite, guess I still prefer Noblehouse.

Reached home at around 10plus, both my cousins were home on my bed! My god, my bed has became their hangout spot. Anyway, waited for my sister to come back after midnight. Took the cranberry cake out and started singing birthday at the top of our voices eventhough my parents were already asleep... haha...

It was a weekend full of birthday celebrations...

First was my cousin's, Ian 18th birthday. We held a small party on sat afternoon at my place, inviting some of his friends. My mummy cooked lotsa yummy food. We had curry, fried bee hoon, chicken wing, hotdogs, sotong balls, jellies, cake of cos! Some of his hyper relay friends came too and they all started calling me 'pigletz' becoz thats the nick I use to play the online game.. so embarassing... I wish they won't call me that on the streets...

Dinner was at marche HMV celebrating Peipei's birthday. We had pizza, crepe, rosti, caesar salad, sausage, and more! So filling! After marche, we proceed to coffee club for coffee. I ordered Iced Rambutan and it turned out to be PINK! why is rambutan pink?? Although I hated the colour, the drink was still good. After coffee, we walked around orchard but it started to drizzle. Then we realised that Glenn actually drove! Well, he should have said so earlier then we could have got out of orchard earlier. Went down to West Coast McCafe for another round of coffee and cheesecakes. Yummy and cheap too! Mc Cafe is the best!

Hey folks, here are the links to my UK photos.. I know I took ages.. at last I've got them organised haha...

www.mandyuk.shutterfly.com

the past weekend was spent mostly at home and hanging out with matt, sis and my cousins.

Was off on saturday and therefore decided to catch the repeat telecast of 100% Entertainment at 2am. Went to sleep at 3am and woke up at 4pm!! Shiok man! Its been some time since I last slept till afternoon! haha..

woke up, chill out at home, watch tv, surf net till dinner time. Went to the HK cafe at east coast once again with matt, sis, shawn. Had a very filling dinner and went off to beach road as my sis need to submit the photocopies of our passports to the travel agency for the genting trip. Shawn mentioned about the famous riceballs and then it was dessert at the hawker centre. back home at 10plus, chill out, watch tv and surf net again... haiiz..bored

Woken up on sunday by my mum informing us that it was grandma's birthday and we will be having dinner at TPY central. Kerk dropped by to pick up my CPU back home to repair it. Its done already! it was just the power supply unit down.. chey.. okie, i will be getting it back tonite and i will have to really get my UK photos done up and developed!! haha...

dinner wasnt good and i guess my cousins didnt fill the stomachs. so off we went to chomp chomp for our second round haha.. ate the famous beancurd.. yummy~~~ its was great!!! i wanna eat it again!!!

Aunt snail flew to HK on sat morning.. so now theres no one to MSN me while working... so bored!!! Aunt Snail, quick quick come back okie??

Damn sleepy today.. duno why also... was rotting at home the past weekend, reading harry potter, watching tv, playing online games.. watever... now can still be so tired... haiiz

Oh yah, we did someting really crazy on sat night... or shud i say sunday morning... My sis, cousins and I ate Mac breakfast at 4am!!! My god! Its insane, but its definitely fun and enjoyable. Me and my sis were reading harry potter.. but i kinda fell asleep at 3am.. shawn was already sleeping.. and Ian went down to buy our big breakfast and hotcakes meal at 4am! In case you are wondering... the mac below my flat opens 24hrs and they start serving breakfast at 4am. So the 4 of us were eating breakfast damn quickly cos we all were damn tired already!

After breakfast, we went straight to bed and we had to torture ourselves by listening to shawn singing all the ktv tunes... ARGH!!! But after awhile.. silence....

I have finally set my eyes on a handphone. Its the upcoming Sony Ericsson W900i. Saw this on the website ( http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=sg&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp1_loader&php=php1_10333&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10333) but I have no idea when will it be released and how much will it be.

I'm guessing it to be around $900 becos this is a 3G phone with 470mb memory for songs and it can be expanded to 2GB. KOOL!

The current W800i and W550i are selling at $668 & $538 respectively. I do hope the phone will be out soonz and I will wait till Mar 2006 before buying it cos thats when my $500 voucher will expire. So I will hope for the price to drop further by then..

pray hard for me....

Met up with smarkys yesterday to celebrate XT's belated birthday. Supposed to meet at 7pm but there was some last minute urgent work to settle before i could leave the office and therefore i only managed to meet them up at almost 8pm. Sorrie gals!

Had dinner at pasta mania, the food was not that good but luckily the company was great! I totally enjoy meeting up with smarkys for the stress relieving and gossip sessions.

After dinner, went to This Fashion to shop around. Well, i was not shopping cos i dun really have the mood to do it haa... so in the end i was loitering around the place encouraging them to buy clothes instead hahahaahaha

After that, i left to meet up with doug, mic, stan & co for ktv session once again!

Oh yah, I have started another blog (http://ktvfreak.blogspot.com) dedicated for my ktv sessions hahaa.. i tink im going mad very soonz, going to ktv so often nowadays....

But there will be pause for 3 weeks, as doug had gone to japan for training and will only be back end nov... duno whether i can survive anot!!! haha

I've been going to ktv so often till I ran out of songs to sing already!! ARGH!!! haha.. with who?? the same gang lah... stan & co, ed & jac, doug & mic and me!!

It's becoming a routine to go ktv at cuppage and take up 3 out of 5 tables at the hall. We have been going so often till the people there already recognises us!!! This is crazy man! But its fun!

I'll be doing it soonz again, i hope!

It was stanley's brother, edmund's birthday so we went down to his 'party' at a pub along mosque street. The pub was called WHITE HOUSE, and it was really white inside out. How appropriate....

Edmund has lotsa friends! Almost everyone in the pub came for his birthday.. cool! There were at least 30 of them man! So in the end, the group of us settled down at a table and drank out night away without the birthday boy (he was already high before 12am!) haha.. Its been so long since I last went pubbing and drinking that much. Its fun to do this once in awhile. I miss this kinda feeling... The gang was fun to hang out with of course!

All of them will be heading to genting to watch the finals for Be a Star. I don't have any more leaves after my trip to UK. They keep asking me to go and I wanna go badly! I hope my manager allows me to go.. haha

I did not have to rot for another saturday, instead, I had great fun!!

Its my birthday today and so doug, mic, veron, glenn, shawn, carol and of cos Matt went to dinner at noblehouse yesterday. The dinner is superb just like the last time.

After dinner, we went down to ktv at shenton way, the place where the competition was held. That means, I had been going down to the same place for 3 consecutive days! haha We wanted to book a medium room, but there was no room available and therefore we took the VIP room. As we thought the room will be huge, we called stanley and gang along. But the VIP was not that big after all. In the end, we had almost 16 person all in one ktv room. It was kinda crowded but it was still fun. Shawn started the ktv session with his favourite Aaron's song and the rest joined in the fun! But Shawn and Caroline left early as Shawn wanted to catch the england match.

We were singing at partyworld from 10pm, all the way up to 2am. We still haven't had enough fun and therefore we headed to cineleisure and continued our ktv session. Matt did not join us to cineleisure as he was not feeling too well.

So there were 9 of left who headed to cineleisure! I have broken my own record! I sang ktv for 7 hours! I really cannot believe it!!! Doug, stanley and gang were drinking and playing some stupid games while we watched and laughed.

Its been so long since I had that much fun. How I wished the day not to end....

Douglas did not qualify for the finals and there goes my genting trip. He did very well, but I guess the judges prefer younger people and good lookers. But he's still my idol! haha

Gabriel and Emerlyn both did not qualify too. Kinda sad, becoz all my friends didn't qualify. But still, they were all better than me becoz I did not even get through the auditions.. haiizz Gabriel sang pretty well, its a waste he did not qualify for the finals. He has this natural R&B voice which makes him very unique. He has got the looks and sang with much feelings.

Emerlyn has this really super ultra high voice. She sings stefanie's song plus 3 keys!!! God! She's really superb! But today, her song was disrupted half way as they played the song in the wrong key.

After the competition, we went supper at Mr Bean and chit chat for a while before heading home.

Today is the second semis for the Be A Star competition. I went down after work with my sis and Doug. Stanley and Bess were both in today's semi. Stanley did pretty well, but he kinda forgot his lyrics. As for Bess, I guessed she kinda laughed too much before her appearance and therefore her voice was affected. But overall, I still think she did well as compared to some others who were terrible. HAHA! Its been some time since I last heard Bess sing, and I think she improved quite alot! Way to go!

Doug and my sis were there to watch the competition too, together with some other friends who we got to know through Stanley. They also qualified for the semis will be competing tomorrow night together with Douglas.

Wish them luck!

I wanna thank my dearest smarkies!!

We went for dinner today at White Tangerine. Its a small little cafe located at Hougang. Their baked pasta is the best!! YUMMY! Well, as usual, some were late. I was the earliest this time! haha... aunt snail came after awhile and we went down to the cafe first. We played UNO while waiting for our orders. Its been so long since I last played the game, I almost forgot how to play it! haha

XT,MY and HY came down later. And we spent the night chit-chatting away as usual. I missed those time where we would hang out at the macdonald's so very often and gossip away. Those were the days....

Oh yah, I got an angpow from them too! Thanks smarkies! I will use the $$ to buy either a pair tennis shoes or a new bag as my current bag is getting old.. haha thanks XT for bringing the cake too! Even though I was already very full, I still insist on finishing it cos it was really delicious!

And lastly, thanks to them for the dinner, the cake, the angpow and of cos the company!

For those who were not able to come, its alrite. Thanks for the angpow still!

I treated my family to Macdonald's breakfast this morning!! Yummy! We haven't done that for quite sometime. But I was rather zombie becoz I didn't sleep well last nite and had to wake up at 9.30am. But still, big breakfast was great!

I was supposed to go ktv with doug and gang, but it was cancelled last minute. So I ended up rotting at home again. But this time round, I have something to past my time... HYPER RELAY!! I'm terribly hooked to this online game. It's something like the old arcade game ' BISHI BASHI'. Just that, hyper relay is online and multi-player. I have been watching my cousin play this game and once I tried it, I couldn't stop!! So I played the game from noon till evening.

Matt came over around dinner time. I was too lazy to go out for dinner, so he ended up buying food from downstairs. Charlie's Angel was showing on tv. It's a nice show! If you haven't watch it, go grab the DVD!! Its definitely worthwhile!

Well, it seems like matt can read my mind. I was complaining here about how he doesn't have enough time to accompany me, the next minute he called me and asked me to go dine with him. hehe... happy gal again!

But, he was very late. By the time he reached my place at around 8plus, I have already fallen asleep. He called me, told me he was downstairs, then I slowly made my way down.

We went to a hongkong cafe restaurant for dinner at east coast road with JB and XD. Its been so long since we last met up for dinner. All of us have been busy, I guess. Dinner was great! Maybe I was too hungry.. haha

After dinner, went back home and watched my favourite drama at the moment! I was half an hour late for the show. When I reached home, my mum was already watching it in my room. Guess she also got poisoned... haha

I have been roting at home for 3 consecutive saturdays!! ARGH!! I wanna go out and hav fun but no one's free lah...

Matt's been busy working recently. He hardly have enough time to sleep nowadays. He's been knocking off at 10pm and therefore he doesn't have time for me too. Haiiz.. I'm collecting dust almost everyday...

Three weeks already.. I'm slowly getting used to him not around. First week, I was still throwing tantrums at him for not accompanying me. Now, I don't even bother to call him and ask him to accompany me. I would rather stay at home and rot. This is bad... I'm becoming used to loneliness. Its like being single... cos my bf dun have time for me...

3 saturdays spent at home... boring life... tats me now... lonely and dull... nothing to talk about liao...

I have just given my blog a new look and I'm so proud of it! haha.. hope u like it too. Give some comments okie?

I have also added in a tagboard, duno for what.. maybe just to fill up the space hahaha

I'm happy!

Aunt Snail!!! I wanna kill you for making me get addicted to your favourite drama now.. which is a FULL HOUSE!!

Well, i just finished watching the first 2 episodes on ch 55. Now, I'm craving for the rest of them. I don't know whether I will be able to wait till next sat. I might even have the urge to buy the vcd.

Aunt snail.. thanz...
