I got to drive a Nissan Sentral to work.hehe...carpool ppl :)they are also my navigator,parking sensor and alarm.Won't know wat to do without them..thankyou so much for pardoning my disastrous parking =) Oh..we have lessons to learn abt the american working culture

During off days we will go out to play and shop for out weekly groceries at the SUPER CHINA MART...haha..really super..they have everything there.

The community where i stayed.Nice rite...got swimming pool,gym,a lake with ducks..

We love going for buffets as well.Very cheap food.around 6USD can eat till siao..

Me and my lovely housemate, suhui shopping at walmart for groceries....Walmart is opened 24 hours de leh!!

Road trip to Zion National park.It is nice for the 1st 5 mins.We all will whoa..OMG..and start snapping photos...after 1 hour...everything is kind of sian to me.haha..maybe i not that into nature.

The pizza is so huge lah...had to eat pizza for 3 days in the row to finish it.But then it is really yummy

Las Vegas is the furthest i travelled frm utah.Lots of shopping there.Pity i didn't get to go to the casinos and watch the shows.

All in all,it is a wonderful experience.Glad i get to know these wonderful ppl :)

The super shopping queens...I love victoria's secret make up :)

Big thanks to IMflash wave 24!!

This trip is full of ups and downs for me and had certainly make me a stronger person and change some of my view in life.

health is gold...

when i was USA,i fell terriblely ill with high fever ,so much that i have to be admitted to hospital for 1 month...so dear frens pls take care of your health wherever u are...

When i was sick there are alot of ppl who took care of me.I am really really thankful for this group of frens.My mum even fly over to take care of me.I am still very confused right now due to my long stay in hospital.Juz everyone to know that I am really appreciative of all that u all have done.Ppl here like my roommate suhui,my working partner xinhui,malcom,ramnik,choonlin,weihong.............and many more...i really dun know how to thanx all of them.....it meant so much for me to have frens that supported me through my ordeal. I have received letters as well...but i am not sure when it is sent,who it belong to so if it belong to u pls come claim it frm me yourself kay.

And if i had lost temper to u all...i am truly sorry for that period of time...it is cos i am very tired or i am confused again or i am in terrible pain and dun know wat is going on.

Now that i am out of hospital(hopefully with a clean bill of health,which i still have to get some blood test to check later in the day), i have been thinking wat i really want in life....it seem to me that I am given another chance to live again.Do u all know that I even attempted suicide when I was in hospital??U all have no idea wat happen to me...i basically went mad....but i am truely grateful that i am living now,and i realise how much i love my family and frens,although i never show them or tell them that i do.Ppl u all should treasure and love the ppl around u kay...they are all good ppl.oops...i think i am being confused again...i dun know how i should put it into words.

SUMMARISE:live life to the fullest and treasure those around u.

I might continue to study to nurse my health,or maybe go into teaching,or try looking for job(u all heard abt the 100% retrenchment in my company...economy issit too good in the manufacturing sector)

Pls keep me in contact if any of my frens is reading this blog...ppl like meijun,janie,chris?haha..i never give alot of ppl my address.but i am afraid that i might lost your hp contacts cos i am not sure if i cancel my m1 line.But do contact me kay...

in USA ...

hey ppl...
I am in utah,USA le...busy the last few days trying to settle in..the place is fantastic :)will update soon.

Thanx to all my frens and family for the well wishes :)starting to miss chaw kway teo...looking forward to a exciting adventure as well as missing home.

willl update soon!

mambo..

after getting the results we(meijun and me)went home to rest b4 heading to mambo...it was super crowded lah..the q was so freaking long...but we manage to squeeze in..hehe(secret tactic)..i felt so sorry for sarah..she couldn't manage to fake through with us...anyway the dance floor was soooooooooooooo crowded,no space at all to do the mambo moves..hardly enough space in the dance floor...and the music that nite was disappointing...think the change the DJ..most songs are pop..think we are out-dated,maybe these are the songs youngsters prefer..haha..

small world

brought sharon and ede around jb for seafood fest..haha..then we started talking abt the ppl we know..and it is such a small world lah...most of us are interconnected some way or other...i seem to know their frens through some other links like school bus,tuition classes,fren's gal or boyfrens...whoa.....the world( or Singapore) is indeed so small....haha...

July is a meet-up times with love-ones and frens b4 leaving for US...hehe...Monday i am going to bring some ppl to go-kart at permas...hmm...some things i need to do for myself too,

1. get a really short haircut (cos US cut hair very ex)
2. get face creams and body lotions ( if not will have fish scales)
3. buy a few keep warm clothes (i dun wan to freeze in US)
4. start to pack somethings (dun postpone liao lah....i hate packing)

unsettle....

I am stuck in singapore till tues due to the visa application...so i decide to list out some things which i must settle:

• ask abt PR application
• bank loans
• HP ( to suspend or keep?)
• work matters
  

hmm...i dun know wat else but seems like i will be kept busy in July wit all those admin stuff...when i have to go down to the bank or some government office i realise the big responsibility of a "working" adult...last time when u are a student,there is no need to worry abt bank loans,this application that application blah blah blah...i think it is tiring to do all these stuff....takes up so much of your time ( nearly 1 day) for something so insignificant...

bunking in...and finally internet connection

due to my visa application i am bunking in szewei's hse till tues...the past few weeks have been a living hell cos there is no internet connection and my brother refuse to fix it cos his exams are coming....

anyway this i will summarise wat had happen...


results day:on D-day met up wit some very free programmers for bowling and dinner...then we nervously check our results on 12 mid-nite...i was quite disappointed with my honours actually..although i did well in my 3rd and 4th year..i think my 1st 2 years had pulled me down alot..this makes me regret having too much fun in the 1st 2 years...bleahs...

ktv:photos yet to be uploaded..haha...one of meijun's fren can really sing...she can even sing jap leh....really should introduce her to jac and sarah(both of them r arashi fans)

After which,we meet janie after her work for a belated bday celebration for her

jc clique gathers at tea ceremony...yet to upload photos(so christine u got to be patient)haha...cos of the failing internet...

anyway..i forget wat else happen but i remember finally fixing my international liscence,getting the visa interview ready,few trips down to the company ,shopping for some working clothes ,movies and dinners blah blah blah...


1 specific day i can clearly remember is on 14th june(mum's bday)...me and my brother bought a little cake to celebrate for her..cos we really no money...but she got angry for no reason,saying we dun appreciate her...me and my brother were stun...dun know wat we did wrong...so the nxt few days(nearly 1 week) was a living hell,with no internet,mum not talking and still having a fiery temper...

this makes me wonder...is not that we dun love or appreciate her...is juz that being born in a chinese family it is wierld to say those"i love u mum"take care of your health,dun work so hard""shall we go for a movie?"i mean we do care and are concern abt our parents,but it is wierld to say it out...but i think when we dun say those things out...ppl tend to think u forget them ...haiz...i love my family and hope to be able to bring them for a holiday,bring them to spa this and that..but then i think at this time it is hard...

anyway my brother is still having exams,so while i am in singapore i am still able to be contacted through msn...haha...when i am back in jb..i have to rely on sy to check on my emails,blogs or watever regulary...sianz...

dinner clashers...

It is always said"Programmers unite as 1"...so inorder to teach 8incredibles(a grp) a lesson for secretly having a private dinner...we(those very free ppl)decided to catch them red-handed and teach them a lesson..haha

Dinner was at a curry udon jap restaurant...i never like udon..so had unagi rice ( the onli non-udon food) instead..It was nice catching up with some ppl who i never see since they grad..of cos there is always some juicy updates..haha

After which we went to Alfie's pitstop cafe...whoa..i played till my voice hoarse..think is cos i get excited very easily..so keep shouting..haha..Haojie even say i was a squeaky wheel(one of the "imagine if" game..)

Overall it really feels good to catch up with old frens who has been through the horrendous sports camp days yah..with the muds,sleepless nites,washing canvas sheets days..i think when all of us starts working we will miss those good old days..haha..i am starting to miss sch days even b4 i start working...

Mars Vs Venus

On tues i brought Meijun to shop around in jb,on weds sy brought jialiang and alex over and i brought them shopping too...i realise that there is a big big difference between shopping patterns of gals and guys..

For gals, we like to try out every clothes/shoes regardless we are going to buy or not..thats y gals shop for very long, but might not buy many things mah.haha

For guys,they just try out the things they want to buy,usually they dun wan to buy anything..as they say they come to JB onli to eat,buying is optional.For gals on the other hand,1st piority is to shop,we dun mind to starve..interesting isn't it..

Gals go to shops selling bags,clothes,shoes...Guys go to shops selling DvDs,posters,comic books, and most importantly food..

cameron highlands with 6eff

The hotel we stayed in...we stayed in the quad suite room..really really big and nice :)

The gals at smokehouse(another much nicer hotel)I invited huiling to join the trip

the guys aka our bang-galas throughout the trip,cos they have to carry all the stuff for us...thanz alot guys,and esp chris for pointing the torch and helping me during the night trekking,haha..if not i will roll down to dunknow where liao...

sixeff!we have known each other for ages...i have known szewei (extreme right)since primary 1,oh..btw,she is the official photographer for the trip,taking up to 200 plus photos *applauds,shall grad the photos frm her soon...i have less than 10 in my camera,shows how lazy i am..haha.Sookfen who helps with all the lodging arrangements and return tickets,and the 2 bang-galas,not only they are "dark-skinned"due to tennis,haha..they are strong too

sixeff again!!

Beautiful flowers..will post more photos when i have them :)

the highlight got to be the night -trekking...walking in broad day light on even ground i already tend to be quite accident-prone le...so night-trekking up the very very steep highlands is life-threatening for me...nevertheless, it was a enjoyable trip :)

disasters...

I am feeling rather down recently cos of my 2nd brother's case(which i cannot be bother talking abt it)..anyway..when i watch the news today..there are disasters happening around the world-cyclone in Mynmar, typhoon in US,recently the earthquake in china..i just can't help but feel sad for those ppl suffering over there, at the same time,those problems that i am having now seem juz so minor...insignificant..

I feel that ppl living in Malaysia are really a lucky bunch..so wat abt those slow lousy traffic,does it really matter??Is the inefficient immigration officers really bothering u??well, i am one of those who regularly complain and grumble abt the unfair political system,the act-blur police,the kopi-money officials...but today i realise all these dun really matter...

Hope those ppl will get help asap.
