New Year's Eve!

Ok, let's see... exactly 3 years ago tonight we would be heading towards Marina Bay to watch the fireworks... with all the old people that later left us - Yi Ping, Yeen Shuang, Jay Sern, Qian Hui, Karen, Yun Ting, Xu Vin, William... Seniors took us out then.

Then 2 years ago tonight we were at Vivocity at the balcony-or-whatever-it-was-called at the New Year's Countdown. The juniors were there too, JJ Lin was there too, and of course the crowds were there too! IIRC we managed to catch the last MRT back, was it? XD

Anyway, Happy New Year's Eve, and I'll be back in 10 hours and half to wish everyone Happy New Year! Cheers!

Proudly presents the lousiest movie of year 2008-- The Spirit!!
Yesterday i spent RM10 on the ticket, and now if someone pays me RM10 asking me to finish the movie I would say NO!!!
The synopsis of the movie? Dont ask me, i sat there for 1 hour and i do not know what is the movie about, but if you wanna know what are mentioned in the movie, i can name u a long list-- "spiderman-like" hero, bad guy good guy thingy, police, crime, flirt, romance, comedy, action.. it s pretty much like a rojak, a spoilt one

So people, if ever wanna know what is called "lousy movie", watch it!!

*after 1 hour torturing myself in the theatre, i sneaked into another theatre and watch Australia--not bad!

Hi people!
I posted my first post there, but it was more of like shout out to tell the world that I am alive and that I just finished my exams. but yes now, i m going to write to you guys!Just for the info of everyone, I am the only one in US ( which is kinda sad) and I am in University of Virginia right in the middle of a small small town called Charlottesville. It is a really pretty place, and it is nothing like KL or Singapore. I guess some of you guys had seem the pictures of my campus ( especially Rach) but most of you never seen it before, I guess. So here are some of them:


























Anyway, yea. so this are some pictures. The only indoor picture is the one on my school's library. And we have loads of library here. ( i guess all the uni too) NO. there is still no snow here. its freaking cold but there are NO SNOW here. and this picture below is the chapel. haha. sorry for being so disorganised. but i hate doing this kind of stuff. as long as you guys can see it, i guess it should be fine right =D



















G & M! you guys have so interesting stories! i wish mine were that interesting too. sorry for being MIA for a while. havent been sleeping in my room for the past few days becasue it is so creepy to do that. i m the only one living in my dorm becasue everyone else had went back home for winter break. and so yea!I think i should dedicate another post to tell you guys about xmas and new year ( if i even get to do that becasue right now i m feeling really lazy) so yea! this is UVA 9 btw, our school song has the same tone as Auld Lang Syne, and we have a UVA cheer too, and we have shit loads of tradition, and apparently we have to complete 112 traditions becasue i m the student of year 2012 ( one is added every year), and our mascott is a cavelier man- a abraham lincoln looking man on a horse which he will appear on every event of the uni. i personally like the horse only. hee )

Yay! I've gotten the honour of posting something while you guys are having Christmas' celebrations around the globe. :D

Neway, who would have guessed that 1 semester passed so damn fast? And now the module registrars are spamming our inboxes to remind us about registering for modules for sem 2... damn sien... Hehe, and chill, I will never ever touch on the subject about result release (this sorta topic sucks big time..., don't you agree, Josiah? :P).

Ok, back to the main topic. How did you guys celebrated your christmas', especially those who are abroad? Mind posting some photos online and sharing it with us? Don't bother to ask about mine though. My most recent Christmas celebration was the one where we went to Orchard and took a picture in the middle of the road (erm, that's like, last year? And yeah, ask Xue Fen, she will definitely understand what I am talking about. She was even commenting about it a year later on facebook! :P).

Oh yeah, to answer Rachael's question, I am still in Singapore, but in less than 24 hours time I will be boarding a train back to KB liao. So sorry Natalie and Wei Ken, can't meet up with you guys on the 26th. Still a hell lota packing needs to be done.

Hehe, I have made my contribution to the blog, who's next?

It's my turn to contribute my 1st post on our blog!
For those who are still wondering where and what I am studying, the answer is Master of Pharmacy in University of Nottingham for 2 years-- 2 years in Semenyih, Malaysia campus and 2 years in University Park, Nottingham UK campus.
I am having holiday now!!!
Well, maybe I should call it study break cos i m going to sit exams for few modules right after my break-- MY TURN TO BEHAVE LIKE XUEFEN!!!

So, any1 who s in KL can ask me out! (er although my place is kind of rural, but, yes i can take the always-delay-KTM!)


Kajang Satay anyone?
Cheers!

Well, well... I seriously dunno what to say. If I crack another lame joke here I think xf or someone will have my @$$ or something...

Arrr... oklah... I guess I can tell you something about where I am studying... Well I'm studying at NUS. Which of course stands for National University of Singapore. :p Yes, that's right. Staying at this place called Prince George's Park Residences, which looks like a resort until you step into your room. My room, I mean. I think Natalie's room looks better than mine. Maybe it's because her room has more windows, and is higher up (hers at the 6th floor, mine is at 3rd). Maybe because her room is more tidy than mine lol... Anyway I hardly spend much time in my room. I tend to stay at BTC until late night every day before catching the last shuttle bus back - except for choir practice days, that is. Weekends depends. I might pop over to BTC or not. The sleeping part is very much like JC. So tired that I fall asleep once my head hits the pillow.

Dunno about you all but I think that I've burnt out leh. In JC used to be able to stay up till 3 am without feeling tired. Nowadays after 1 am I'm already feeling shagged. Cannot concentrate as well as I used to already. Ugh. Anyway, I'll leave off the bitching for now... let's continue...

I think I've taken to running in the dead of night. The other day in the holidays I went to run the campus, I thought I'd surprise CC by dropping in on him. That was around 1 am. By the way, Raffles Hall - where he stays - is at the opposite end of the campus from PGP. When I reached there I saw people dancing in the ground floor of the studio. So I thought he'd be there, so I looked about for him. Suddenly everyone stopped dancing - apparently the music stopped - and I saw this guy in an orange shirt strike a very familiar 'ma chao hai' pose. No prizes for guessing who it was. So I thought I wouldn't disturb him, and carried on running.

Seriously though, I really salute those who live in halls. I once was awake at 3 am (on a weekday, NOT studying, was mucking around on the net or something!) and Weivien logged in via MSN. I was like, hey, not asleep yet? And she replied, no, just came back from hall activity. And I was like wth... 1 am I can understand, but 3 am? o.O Salute leh.

Oh anyway, having great internet in University isn't good for me. I'm spending more time on Pardus than I really should, which is why I fully expect bad grades when NUS results are released tomorrow.

Ok back to the stories. Apparently the hall people have a lot of fun with their hallmates lah. Me leh... I guess I hang out more now with the Law people than with any others. Anyway... I see Jaime quite a lot, and I like ribbing HY about it (come to think of it, haven't heard from him in a darn long time). Oh, and about the 'Law girls are hotter than all other facs' thing? I don't really think so leh. I'd say that they seem hotter cuz they have very good dress sense, and they're confident and carry themselves very well. Physical beauty-wise... normal distribution I guess - there're really pretty ones and moderate ones... although the normal distribution is probably top-heavy. But all of them very nice character-wise. And NO, I'm not chasing any yet. :P Too caught up in other things at the moment.

Bleh, anyway. Law school is fun - at anything not study-related. Academically it's hell, as I have just found out. I guess every fac is hell though.. ask CC and Sharlene and they'll tell you they're dying too... ;) Social-wise, it's pretty good. Apparently there's this beer culture in Law School. Any event must have beer lol...

So now I'm in NUS Choir too. It's pretty fun. Terrence Toh is the assistant resident conductor XD. People there are quite siaosiao too. I guess that's uni for you.

So we here in NUS do try to meet up a bit lah. I guess me and CC meet up the most now that Nat is otherwise occupied. We three used to meet up perhaps once every week on weekends, I think. Sharlene is usually kinda busy with her studies, but we still do meet up once in a while. :)

Hmm... can't think of anything more to write at the moment... oh yeah.. I hate Malaysia net after being with Sg net for so long. Meh. Anyway cheers for now... KY and Sam if you read this don't kill me over Msia net, and Rachael dun fret about going back to sch one week earlier, I'll visit you or something lah, cuz I'm coming back a few days earlier too. :) Take care you UK and US people, winter there now right? Take pictures with the snow and send to us yea! Snowball fight hehe... XD I envy you.

And next year COME BACK SG AND MEET UP YEAH! RMB the JANJI! I'll probably be staying over for the whole of the May-July holidays cuz of '09 Rag, choir competition, Law Camp, working part-time, and stuff. So, ready when any of you are. And Marianne, you still owe me, CC, Nat and Sharlene for not telling us that you were going so that we could send you off. ;)

Happy holidays for now!
Jo
