Good Bye 2008!

Hello all!

I'm trying to rush out this entry at the moment while watching the Vivocity Countdown Party on Ch 8.. This entry is specially dedicated to recap on 2008.. It was really the most life changing year of my life thus far.. I've never done and experienced so many different things before..


Starting off.. I finished SIP at Meritus Mandarin in Jan 2008.. Memorable Experience!

And 306, can you believe it that we were still studying at the beginning of this year? Can't believe we now have our own careers to lead.. Life is ever changing..

I left Golden Village officially early this year too after almost 2 years of service and joined a new company, Singapore Flyer.. A wonderful addition to my resume..

Chinese New Year 2008 was also memorable as I met up with so many Sec Sch friends to go visiting and High Gang also met up to have a reunion dinner together and celebrate Ebi's birthday..

The Orangs went on our first overseas trip together to Genting.. Too much fun.. Too many memories..

And of course, the most wonderful holiday of 2008, to Japan!

Another beautiful mark in my life.. Graduating from Temasek Poly with a Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Management.. =)

And I headed off after 2 days on my first ever trip to China..

And a short trip to Taiwan in June.. I'm desperate to head back again..

A short 6 months after joining, I left Singapore Flyer.. Brief but beautiful memories of an attraction that will forever stay wonderful in my heart..

And off to Bintan..

And alas, off to the International College of Hotel Management for further studies.. Life changing moment..

Departure.. Wonderful friends who came to send me off.. =)

And new international friends made.. =)

And of course, friends from Singapore!

And short trips out of Adelaide.. Gold Coast!

Melbourne!

Sydney!

And a very saddening farewell to Ingrid who left the earliest among all of us for her internship..

Perth!

Mount Gambier!

End of Course Ceremony! Good Bye everybody!

And finally, back to Singapore! Home Sweet Home! And back to the embrace of lovely friends!

High Gang!

306!

Orangs!

Christmas + Bernice's Birthday!

Boxing Day!

Hai Sing friends!

And of course, my dearest family. =)

Overall, 2008 has been a wonderful year for me.. I've never travelled so much in my life before.. And the wonderful experience of being able to head overseas for studies.. At the same time, 2008 has also given me the chance to try out different things and treasure friends and family members more..

All in all, I wish everyone well for 2009! So everybody,

Happy New Year!

Kboxing + Impromptu Steamboat!

Hello all!

Just two updates before I hit the bed.. I've got the sick combo.. I think it started on Christmas night..

Kbox-ing with Beilin, Wei Lun and Cherie on Boxing Day.. Picked Beilin up from her house before heading down to Suntec for lunch by ourselves.. Wei Lun joined us at the Kbox and the three of us started singing first since Cherie hadn't arrived yet..

Wei Lun looks very happy that day.. Haha..

Our hip-hop master..

Cherie arrived soon and we started singing again!

Hello!

Caught in the act! See the bowl?! No more snacks le! Haha..

What a face Wei Lun.. Haha.. So comical..

Group Pictures!

Cherie and Beilin, what shampoo brand do you all use? Shiny sparkly hair.. Haha..

Haha.. Caught you guys snacking again..

And little DIY presents for you guys.. Still have to pass to Sarah and Ayuni though..

Wei Lun left early and after the K session, had to PS Beilin and Cherie for dinner to meet Amber, Yongxing and Colleen.. Settled on Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao.. Amber's treat.. Thank You Ah Ma! Walked around looking for boxes and baby clothes before heading to Häagen-Dazs for ice cream.. Colleen's treat.. Thank You Colleen! Had to eat the ice cream at some outdoor non Häagen-Dazs dedicated area because we had to pay $2.40 to eat at their area.. -.-' My sister came for a lift home and dropped Amber, Yongxing and Colleen at some park in Punggol where they were going to chill out at some place..

Christmas Tree at Suntec City!

And yesterday, a very very impromptu meetup with HSC gang at E-hub.. People who went were me, Juliana, Michelle, Xinyi, Juliana's friend, Kenneth and Xinyi's and Juliana's friend, Regina.. Went up to the arcade to play some drum game and Mario Kart.. And after that to NTUC to buy food for a very impromtu steamboat at Juliana's.. Had to PS-ed Amber and Yongxing for a movie that night too.. Sorry sorry!

Far too much food for 5 people.. Haha.. And Juliana added in her leftovers of turkey, Sheperd's pie etc. which was a real saviour for us while waiting for the soup to boil..

And Guitar Heroes while waiting for the soup to boil.. I like this set better than Sylvester's because it has a drum set, bass and mic to go along as well! And I realise we were either all in white or in black.. Ho ho ho!

Stopped eating for a while and back to Guitar Heroes!

Played this song called "Sweet Home Alabama" for so many times as we kept failing.. Haha.. But we were adamant to pass it..

So after multiple switches of band members, it was Xinyi on the guitar, Li Ping on the drums and me on the vocals.. And we finally pass it! Dunno how to describe the feeling but it was crazily happy! Haha..

So remember to buy "Yi Wan Li"'s new album debuting with our hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama"! Well, we are sorta in the wrong order too.. Haha.. It's Liping on the left and Xinyi on the right..

I spent the morning watching the new Butterfly Lovers.. It's quite sweet actually.. But I feel it lacks something like background music etc. But overall, if you can watch it, go see it for something different.. =)

Going to meet Amber, her little princess and her SIL tomorrow for baby clothes shopping.. I feel alot of baby sitting tomorrow.. Haha..

Ok.. Good Night!
