27th Feb, 2009(Fri)

Today was the last day of Cheryl's relax Chalet, it was a 3 days 3 nights chalet started on 24th till today. There were a total of 4 of us stayed through the whole chalet, Cheryl(the girl with spectacle who was frying some prawns below) , Darwin(the one in black below), Jun Kai(the one in the 1st & 2nd photos below) and me. The chalet was held at 48 Pasir Ris Avenue, a 2-stories bungalow which had 3 bed rooms(1 master & 2 guest), 1 activity room, 1 living room, 3 toilets, 1 kitchen, 1 BBQ corner and a very garden. It was really out of our expectation, we didn't expect it to be so big. And it was just $75 from Monday to Friday!!!
We had BBQ for dinner on the 1st and 3nd night, we cooked our own breakfasts, lunches every day and dinner on the 2nd day. On the 2nd night, we went for a overnight cycling from Pasir Ris Park to Changi Village. We cycled around 28km followed the Park Connector. On our we met our special "tour guide" of that night, Joshua, a 17 years old teenager. He is a very good roller skater, he accompanied us all the way both go and return.
We managed to complete a 500 pieces Jigsaw Puzzle out of the period of our chalet.
Overall, it was a really Enjoyable and Fun chalet!!! =]

Today was the 21st Birthday of 1 of my best NS buddies, Edison, who was the CSM(Company Sergent Major) Runner/Lineman. He booked a terrace at Aloha Loryang, the terrace was really BIG.. 4 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, BBQ area etc... I became the "bao-ka-liao" of the Birthday BBQ, I helped to decorate the terrace, BBQ the foods, perform Magic to entertain Edison's family & friends and helped him to clear-up the area after all his friends left.... Although it was tiring, it worthy to do so, because it was doing for my BEST buddy!! hahaha... =]

Today was the day Pei Ying, my secondary school classmate who had been same class with me for sec 1, 3 & 4, flew off to Australia for her University. She is very PRO, she had completed her Grade 1-8 and Diploma of piano. And she was going for her degree on Music.
Her flight was SQ221 at Changi Airport Terminal 3 and would take off by 8.40pm. But she would need to be there early to check in hers and her parents' luggage, who were accompanying her to Australia.
Shane and me were going to sent her off. I reached T3 early around 6pm and Shane was rushing his way down from Clementi... I waited at the Row no. 3 where supposed to check-in her luggage at, and I sent her an sms informing her the row no. Less than 10sec I received her call and she had just reached row no.3 too. She was alone looking after the luggage because her parents were away to something to eat.
We chatted a while and her relatives and friends had started to reach one after another. Pei Ying introduced her friends for me. And there was a girl, 1 of Pei Ying's schoolmates and her best friend, named Yan Siew (The one wearing yellow, long hair... Standing beside Pei Ying, at the left of the photo) who was actually my primary school schoolmate. I didn't expect that and I totally could not recognize her.
Shane had finally made it just 15 minutes before Pei Ying and her parents going in for the plane.

Today I had finally received my Gospel Magic set after a very long wait. I had ordered this Gospel Magic set from a HK Gospel Magician, Rev. Yeung. I knew about him from a website, www.gospelmagic.hk.
I ordered a lot of things, and it costed me S$285.64 (Shipping fee + Telegraphic Transfer fee + Cost of the goods). Although it may sound expensive to many people, I found that this Gospel Magic set worth its price.

Today I went straight to Bishan Junction 8 after my church, because Shane's group, Violet Melody (He and his partner, Clara) was having its Semi-Final of Impresario 2009 organized by NTU(Nanyang Technology University). There were a few different categories, Single Vocal, Group Vocal, Song Compose and Street Dance for the competition.

Violet Melody were under the Group Vocal category. They performed the song "Wei Ni Er Huo" by Shen Mu Yu Tong. Violet Melody's performance was 1 of the better one out of all the 11 teams and the performance was good and outstanding compared to the other groups.

Today was the Raffles Institution(RI) CNY dinner, and I was invited by Auntie Han Ying(A church mate of mine who was the teacher of RI) to perform a Magic performance on the dinner. I asked Ming Tjong(A church mate of mine who play Magic too) to help out with the performance.
(For video of the Magic performance, please visit
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=139640510202 )
I planned the performance in a way that it is a remix of Stage & Street Magic, I was the Stage Magician while Ming Tjong was the Street Magician.
We reached RI around 3.30pm and had our rehearsal. Around 6pm, the dinner started and our performance was around 7.45pm. I was really disappointed with our performance, a lot situations and technical problems happened... Which cause the performance to go out of plan.
Although the audience seem to have enjoyed themselves, I still feel very disappointed with it...

Today morning, I went to PYSS to collect a lion head, which I borrowed from Ms Goh(my Sec Sch CCA teacher). And I also helped her to bring a wild cat, Xiao Hao, away from PYSS. It was because the Discipline Master of the school wanted to get rid of her... He called the SPCA to catch her.

In the evening, I had weekly Sing practice in church... we continued with the new song, "离了你,我不能作什么!", which we had learnt last week. It was really a nice song.

Today evening, I had finally met up with my OC, CPT John, who was my 1st year OC of my NS. I had tried to meet up with him a lot times, but it was either he could not make it of I could not make it. We met at the McDonald below Pricess Cinema and had our dinner that. I asked my OC for his advices on what course(either EEE or IMD) should I study and we discussed about it, because I was still considering. At the end of the gathering, my OC gave his GPS (which he had used it in the period of the past few years, so it was full of useful data) to me for free and it was costed around $250-$350 for 1 on the market.

31st Jan, 2009(Sat)

Today was a wonderful day to me... Why? It was because I received an email that I was accepted into both Interactive Media Design(IMD) at Temasek Polytechnic and Electrical Electonic Engineering /Bioelectonics (EEE) at Singapore Polytechnic. This meant my hardship on spending whole night drawing for my portfolio was not wasted. I drew a few pictures, mostly are comic & manga characters and some characters which was created by me..(Starting from the left: A warrior created by me when I was in Secondary school; An Army boy modified from the character of the brand "Newbie"; A famous Japanese Manga character)
In the evening, I was invited by Sandy and Sindy to attend a Chinese New Year(CNY) gathering at her house. It was FUN!! I met friends of Sandy and Sindy and made some new friends, Darwin, Cheryl, Charmaine etc... After dinner, we had a game that I could harder understand how to play, but it was very fun while we were trying to learn how to play the game.

Today morning, I went to Min Kiat's house to Bai Nian and stayed till 12pm.
On my way home I went to the Computer servicing shop, at blk 202 and just beside Bedok Interchange, which also sell computer parts, US Army equipments and toys(guns, rifles, managa models... etc)I saw something very interesting, Night Vision Goggles (NVG) and Soundwaves Capture Gun (SCG).
Althought the NVG was just a toy, it still manage to see 50ft(15m) in total darkness. It was a product of Jakks Pracific.
The SCG was a device that able capture soundwaves 300ft away and there was a 8x build-in telescope with it.
I really like military equipments since young, so these 2 items really interest me... I decided to perchase them, the NVG costs $145 and the SCG costs $60. But I managed to get a $5 discount, so I bought it at the price of $200.
