first presentation of the sem!

last friday i had my first individual presentation for this sem. actually it has been some time since i last had an individual presentation so i was kinda worried. plus also cuz it was 20% of my final grade.. and so for the whole week, i was busy preparing for my presentation.. haha.


oh! btw, i would like to share this picture.. see how lionel treats my laptop?? when i had my fujitsu, he scratched it, dropped it then lost it. now... look what he is doing!! argh.


that's me rehearsing and going through my slides..

i know i look really messy! haha.. but who cares? no one was in the seminar room except lionel. haha.. ooo and look at my pretty blackbook!! watch the apple glow!
my presentation was for my advertising module and i had to evaluate an online advertisement so i chose to do on nike+ (a partnership between nike and apple).. it's a chip that tracks your run! cool huh. haha.. ya of cuz!! i have it!! haha.. okok. i dun really wanna go too much into the details.. otherwise i will feel like i am doing my presentation here.. anyway, here are some of the pictures that i took.. the first one is of derby and the chip..
the second one is of pheebe with the chip! i brought derby to class for my presentation last friday since the prof likes fluff!! din bring pheebe cuz he was shedding fur and derby runs way faster.. but poor derby was trembling and din move an inch cuz there were too many pple and too much noise i think.. but anyway, it was really funny and the class was laughing. so i'm cool with that. haha.
so while i was busy rehearsing, look what lionel was doing.. taking stupid pictures of himself.. (i'm pretty sure lionel wunt be too pleased with me putting these up.. haha! who cares. heh! )

cute.. very cute. haha!

ASEAN Football Championship 2007!!!

the night before last, i found out from my sister that they will be a match between Singapore and Thailand. although i'm not a soccer fan, i like to support singapore and love to see live games! and since i already missed the singapore vs malaysia game (cuz i went out with the girls for drinks which i will blog abt as soon as i get the photos from huixian!!! *hint*), i decided to go for this one.

i was so excited that night and decided that i shall wear red. (although according to my brother, cuz nike is sponsoring singapore team, our home colour is blueeeee.. bleargh. but oh well. i still wore red..)

so in class, since lionel decided to wear red with me, we looked like we coupled dresses.. haha. and we had fun going round taking pictures that matched my red tee cuz i dun usually wear red.. haha. so boh liao..


lionel says i look like the red phone. so i had to take a picture.. how silly.
that's us at the ishop at cine. the chairs were red.
there were 5 chairs there and we were sitting on the extreme left.. there was anoher couple sitting at the extreme right. and they were both wearing black. so it's was quite funny..but no one to help us take a picture. haha
taking a bus yesterday to the national stadium was like going to the national day parade. most pple getting off the bus were wearing red and were all very excited.. the crowd was crazy!
saw this guy with a singapore flag thing round his arm.. i tot it was cute..

we're all red and white. haha.. notice the drinks lionel were holding? yaaa those idiots at the stadium threw it away. bleah!
coincidentally, my sister was wearing white and carrying a red bag and i was wearing red and carried my white bag. haha.

obviously, that's my sister, sam and my bro.. and a million other people.
pictures of the stadium.. it was almost full house except the grandstand seats i think.. like only a few were not taken up.. it was so great sitting in the stadium... ahhh..
this picture was taken just before the kickoff. singapore is in blue! i kept fo
rgetting. anyway, the match was funny. although i din really understand soccer and it's hard to spot the ball sometimes cuz it's so small, i still had fun. and the thai players kept falling down. it was funny. and sometimes someone in the crowd would play his horn and people would sound this malay word which meant "dickhead". haha. it was hilarious..

and when singapore got a free kick or something, the crowd would go "we want goal, we want goal" and clap and stomp and cheer. really fun to just anyhow shout. haha.

we bought these singapore bands thing.. haha.. i had no wear to tie.. oh.. and lionel bought a new samsung phone.. so he was showing off. haha.. it's the samsung D900.. which i like tooooooo...
me and my sis at the end of the match which singapore won 2:1~ we almost din get the 2 goal cuz it was a penalty kick and thailand went on strike. tsk.. but they came back after like 15 or 20 mins? in the meanwhile, the crowd was going crazy going the kallang wave.. and some were boo-ing the thai crowd..
according to lionel, this is one of the last official match at the national stadium before it gets torn down. so it's cool that we went. plus it was a big match!! yay!! that's me in the picture of cuz.. and i kinda like the headband idea.. keeps my hair neater! yay yay! maybe i shld wear more.. wahaha.
that's all of us who sat together. hard to sit stogether. sam had his friends who sat next to the thai pple. and i think my cousin was at the grandstand.. and my bro's friends were somewhere else.

the trash from the singapore crowd. think there was like 49 000 singapore supporters and like 1000 thai supporters? and when u compare just one portion where the singaporeans sat with the thai side, it was so so so so much dirtier! think singaporeans are too deprived of littering so yesterday was shiok for them! haha

check out the crowd that was trying to squeeze out of the stadium? tsk!!

instead of trying to squeeze up buses an trains with a million other people, we decided since we were near geylang, we went to eat supper! heee. think this is a famous place and most would come here for their beancurd. yesterday was really crowded. i guess we weren't that smart afterall. but anyway, we had some great food. had soya bean drink, beancurd, gyoza (which wasn't fantastic at all), xiao long bao, yu tiao(must try!) and taiwan noodles (which is a must try too!!)

my almost perfect sunday.

it has been some time since my family wanted to do some farm visiting.. so today, with auntie cathie as our guide, we went to several farms. and they were all pretty interesting. too bad i din take enough photos..after the first farm we went to, i only had 20 shots left.. and i was thinking all the way that it's so impossible becuz i din really take that much at the first farm.. and then went i finally called home after all the farm visiting, lionel told me it's cuz i set it to 6megapixels. haha. how silly. and what a waste! i keep deleting all my photos to make space for more. argh!! oh well.. i did manage to put up quite a number of photos in this entry so be please patient, it should take some time to load this page. haha.. i'm just quite excited that i got the camera back in working condition. (*gasp* i realize i din blog about my thailand trip!! haha.. i shall do it sooon.)

anyway, so our day started bright and early, woke up at 830.. ate breakfast at home, met auntie cathie and drove down to our first farm.. it almost looked like another country.. not many cars, a nice sunny day, and there were quite a number of cyclists.. i wanna do that some time too! :)



farm number 1: goat farm .
we were there early enough to catch the milking.. very very interesting! haha.. i tot it would be done by hand though.. (btw, the milking is from 9 to 11 daily i think.. for those who wanna go.. ) see basically, they just put the machine thing and it will start squeezing the milk.. and they sell the milk.. although u must be prepared. it has a very unique taste! haha.. and if u absolutely hate goats, then please dun go there! cuz it's all goat's smell. haha..

check out the middle goat! hahahahahaha..

tsk. the guy keep touching the goat's balls. haha. my cousin was saying to his mom.. "mom, if i put that on my thing, i won't get milk, will get urine!"... he's silly.

that's where the milk goes. very obviously. hahah.

after being milked, the goats will return to their cages.. and the next batch will be sent out. hee.


this is where u can feed the goats. they sell alfafa hay which is what little bunnies eat! haha..
they have another sign that says "milking mothers" and as u can guess, it's where they keep the goats that can be milked. think they cant mix it cuz if a bunk and doe meets, then the milk will taste different. haha
feeding.. that's my brother, my dad and my uncle.. see my dad patting the old goat. haha. maybe their age gap is not that huge, the goat seems to like my dad and my dad likewise. haha.
that's me! feeding the young ones.. and my little cousin (jet) looking..
that's jet.. with the curly hair. he's so so so so cute! he was looking at the goats and said to his mom: "ma ma, that goat looks like dad!" and he was pointing to one particular goat. haha..

me again.. i like the blur shots.. oh! i have this photo taken with this goat biting my hair! haha. guess i was too close to it and my hair really looks like hay. damnit i knew it! haaa.
after feeding the goats, unable to pay for the hay that we used to feed the goats, my dad had to help them sell pineapples. sigh. haha.. no la. he was buying but he was so friendly with them that he was behind the counter!! the pineapples are really good.. and not too exensive too.. i think.

farm number 2: dragon fruit farm.
cuz of the heavy rain, there were not many fruits and by the time we got there, they sold all their fruits already. argh. but luckily i had some from there before.. the dragon fruit plants are like cactus.. it's funny.

me and my ultra spastic smile. i dunno what's up with me. haha. guess i was just really excited to see an unripe dragon fruit. haha.
they even have dragon fruit juice. but i din try.. think it would be too processed to be nice.

farm number 3: cow farm.
this farm was not as organized as the first 2.. it was kinda dirty.. the cows looked kinda dirty too.. and the pasturized milk is bleargh!
i think this cow is sick... it cant control its tongue!! it's everywhere! i took a video.. but dunno how to upload. haha!

farm number 4: frog farm.
before u first walk into this farm, u can already hear the frogs.. and they dun smell too good either. haha. but they're funny.

after seeing the live frogs, we bought some home.. haha. the look disgusting huh.. imagine just seeing them with skin a few moments before this.. eeks.
i helped choose frogs for my aunt and for ourselves to buy home!
when leaving, we saw this on the floor.. erm... (it's a frog's feet if u are wondering.. haha)

farm number 5: flowers farm.
had a really good lunch here.. had fish and chips, really yummy chicken wings, and chicken chops with mushroom sauce! it's a nice bistro called petals and leaves.. and there was a nice 9-hole golf thing there.. my cousins and i spent some time there.. and i got sunburnt! haha.. by this time, i hardly had photos cuz i had no memory left.. sigh. here's jet anyway, he's so cute!


after this, we went to a vegetable farm.. but then my camera died on me already.. sigh. so i din get any pictures! i sure hope i'm gonna go there again.. actually i think i will cuz it's just such a nice place.

after all the visiting, we went home, me n my brother went to the gym, showered and headed down to vivo city with my dad n sis. had some german food and beer at this place called brotzeit (?) pretty good food.. the beer is paulaner's.. so it's good. haha. but din get pictures too cuz the camera charger is with lionel and my dad's camera was flat from his trip too.. sigh.

so that's it. my almost perfect sunday.
