I just came back from East Point Mall, in Simei... Went there to get christmas gifts for CERTAIN people. ;p
but anyways, I realised that there's alot of difference between East Point Mall's Popular and TM's Popular outlets.
EPM's Popular
-Not popular at all... not so much people there. -Books are not wrapped up... you can actually READ them. -Wide variety of albums... Managed to find MCR's albums there, which is kinda suprising. Weirdly, they have Hillsong albums there, even though they're not a christian bookstore... -As usual, books are CRAPPY. -Games= not really wide variety...
TM's Popular
-Usually can find alot of BORED ppl hanging out there... -Books are MOSTLY wrapped up... Stoopid TM ppl nvr let us read D: -Albums like crap like that... you can find the latest releases there, but seriously, if you're looking for specific, older albums, go somewhere else. -Boosk are also CRAPPY. -Games? gotta be kidding me...
From all the abv info, I come to the following conclusions:
1. POPULAR SUCKS! D: 2. Both EPM and TM's popular are quite bad... but EPM is better than TM. (suprise, suprise) 3. If you wanna find albums, go somewhere else. 4. Popular has almost everything, from games to albums to books, but they are like a jack of all trades, master of none... no stuff for those hardcore games, no books for the more avid readers.
then after getting the christmas gifts I went for lunch at Banquet, the food court in EPM. And guess who I saw?
HAAAAAASHIMA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I saw our beloved Ms. Hashima there... she was eating with this person with long hair, and I was like 'OMG! Is that Mrs Lim!?' Fortunately, it was someone else. Anyways, she seemed to have slimmed down abit... haha. =D (hope she's not reading this... ;p)
Anyways, I'm starting to wonder whether those christmas gifts are like worth the trouble... it cost me quite abit of $$... but anyways, I bought it le... so no regrets. -.-
Quite a no. of things to look out for... actually most of them are like 'cheap thrills', considering they aren't really very big events... but anyways, I'm excited about those stuff.
Also have quite a no. of ideas in my head regarding the class outing... i will be discussing with jeremy about them. ;)
Anyways, its good to feel excited. You should try being excited too. =DDDD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And regarding yesterday's post about the chinese book,
I hope you don't feel like... discouraged if you haven't finished the book, because I'm not trying to like 'boast' that I've finished... it's just that I'm happy that I finally finished reading it. If you wanna think negatively, and think about some stupid things like, "Aiyah, renjie soo pro de, I haven't finish the book, I soo noob de!" then go ahead, but it'd be bad for your own self-confidence and esteem. Just don't take it to heart, ok? =D
I like to use single words for my titles, followed by a full stop... it looks quite cool on my blog, rite? =D
Anyways, this is to announce that I'VE FINNALY FINISHED READING MY CHINESE BOOK!!!!!! (the HCL holi. hw thingy) It was 192 pages, and was quite torturing sometimes to sit down and really read... but anyways, with the help of my S500i, my earphones and also the Saviour King album on my phone, I'M DONE WITH THAT BOOK!!!!! w00t!
Regarding that book, it's really touching... I remember that I was reading the ending part I was listening to To Know Your Name by Hillsong... and the atmosphere was like very touching, just like the MTP session, when I was running through the 4th level classrooms while blasting 'Welcome to the Black Parade'. ;)
Overall, the book isn't very hard to read; I didn't have to check the dictionary a single time while reading it! (if you bother to check how to pronounce the names, then that's a different story) And it's about recounts of the suvivors of the 2004 Tsunami... I like how 'flowing' the story is; although the book starts with different characters who don't know each other, the author tells each of their tales with great skill, and somehow manages to interwine their stories together in the later part of the book... It's just like transforming parallel lines into perpendicular lines.. The guy who wrote it is a GENIUS.
If you're too lazy to read what I wrote above, this is the summary: JUST READ THE BOOK. IT RAWKS! =D
I was quite busy yersterday... went to Jonah's house to complete the class video once and for all, then 'chionged' back to VS with Deon and Jeremy to help out with the Meet-parent session. It was seriously VERY fun... although there were 3 MAJOR disasters...
1. EQ found out that the class vid contains EXPLICT stuff! (e.g. Some joker pointing the middle finger...) Cannot let parents see how horrible we are right?So he edited those stuff out using Deon's POWDERFUL windows-vista Compaq laptop. So we had a 'clean' version and an 'explict' version.
2. FILE SIZE TOO LARGE! After he edited, dunno wad crap he did, the file size become 1.6GB!! *gasp* Fortunately, problem solved by using the laptop to play the video and not Mrs Lim's comp.
3. NOT ENOUGH CHAIRS! Some parents were very late, so all the chairs were filled up le. We ran to the 4th floor classrooms to take chairs but all the classrooms were locked. And btw, while we were running from classroom to classroom I was blasting 'Welcome to the Black Parade'. The atmophere was like very nice... =D
I'm too lazy to talk abt how my results are... All you need to know is that I did well, mostly thanks to TfU project. ;)
As some ppl may know, I aso joined scouts when i was in primary sch. At tat time I was a cute, TALL, blur person...
So anyways, yesterday I went back to help my juniors (lols!) in a competition. It was something like the national pioneering competition, but smaller scale. It was hled in the GIGANTIC premises of cat. high.
I wasn't the only alumni around. Haoyang, Jerry (the "emo" guy in the abv picture) and a few others came too. =)
SO anyways, as seniors we mus have some priveledges, right? So while everyone was taking part in the competition, we went "scouting" around CH...
1. Haoyang trying out their "acrhdemis screw" (sry, i dun know how to spell ;p) in their eco-garden.
2. The toucan in their eco garden. Btw, it is ALIVE.
3.Some of their wall decorations. This was outside the toilet.
And one thing about their premises: Its about 2 to 3 times bigger than VS!! We NEARLY got ourselves lost in there. CH is indeed very well-funded.
oh yeah, about the competition, my juniors did quite well. They got a gold in soccer, bronze/silver(I can't remeber) in sour grapes, and did quite well in the other categories. In the end, they were one of the top 3 schools, clinching a silver!! =)
I noticed how each and every one of them were very motivated. When I taught them some basic knots, although they took quite long to understand, they were still very...dilligent? And none of them had this "bo liao" looking expression. So they deserved the silver... a lot.
