I was having a great time with my friends today! And I am so eager to share it with you all. But first of all, below are a few pictures which I took few days ago.

Had a chance to have lunch with all of them at Hwa Seafood Restaurant, Singapore. Well, I'm still not really get into their topics yet but, I will try my very best de! O.O

Oh yes, you are right! I bought korean drama to kill my weekend off! XD

These 2 female characters are my favourite actresses of all time.

Only then I know what is a butler. And very mesmerizing phrase from this series

"After all, I'm your butler" *with a smuggy smile* Nice series :)

Remember I talked about my lecturer on the previous post? Mr Andy Tan from Kaplan.

Like I said, he has a very unique style of lecturing.

Whenever he gives us breaktime, he will play some nice and soothing songs with his photography slideshow pictures. He's truly a photographing lover O.O

For a girl like me who grown up in Brunei, I will either ride on other people's car or drive own car to the destination I wanna go. Coming to Singapore, one of the biggest impact on me is that I have to walk a lot, for me it's a lot, but I know for those who has lived in Singapore for years, it's nothing for them lolz. Err what I actually trying to tell you is, my face got oily faster because of this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining alright. What I really really wanna tell you is that, I bought Clean & Clear oil control paper because of this.

One of my best companion hoho.

And then I realised that many people who rides on train or bus, they put on their earphone. It's like they won't hear or listen to any other sounds surrounding them. So I wanna try how does it feels like to barred yourself from the surrounding sounds and get into your own musical world.

In fact, IT FEELS GREAT! Somehow sometime it feels awkward when you are so high of your music, say when you listen to "Grenade" from Bruno Mars, you are so into the song, your brain is so polluted by its lyrics and so on, then you put down your earphone. Sudden silent from either library, bus or train strikes in, it's really awkward! Mentally... You can try that and I'm sure you would know what I'm trying to say haha.

Just attended to orientation yesterday, it was awesome! I met a new friend from Vietnam, her name is Hang. She has a pair of lively eyes, cute laughter, fluent english and easy to chat with. We chatted a bit as she sits just beside me during the orientation. Another awesome thing! Kaplan is going to organize a half day tour guide around Singapore for new international students like me! Me and Hang are so excited about it, don't worry cause I'm so gonna take pictures of that day's trip yo :)

Welcome gift from Kaplan. Juggling balls! Whooo, I have another equipment to kill the free time. I will perform a good juggling to you all once I passed my ACCA in the near future :)

Ok, so starting from here onwards. It will be today's pictures.

Played a few tabletennis games with church fellows, it was so fun! Can't remember when is the last time I touch ping pong ball, like 5 years ago? o.O

But am so glad that I am able to get into sport activities here :) Cause I have not been sweating for months! Sweat as in real sporty sweat lolz.

With Elise (middle) and Jolyn (right), lovely and kind angels :)

Having break, so happen to see around the area. The facilities are actually provided to those who lives at nearby HDB. It's so awesome!

Gym is provided too. I can see elderly people lifting weights and do heavy workouts. Seriously, that is way too cool alright. Very health concious, and me?! Should stop keep eating bread and get some jog now.

Swimming pool is provided too! Can't take the picture outside as it was raining.

But manage to take picture from the upper level :D

Omo Omo, got coconut trees some more, just like a hotel O.O

Kids learning dance in an aerobic room. Reminds me of the old school days, after school rushes to dancing room, those days, so memorable :')

Reading room as well. Too good too good way too good, very considerate in all sort of ways.

Just love the feel, enjoying at the scenery outside from here. Suddenly feels like I'm in Hong Kong o.o

Cute cactus pot! Friend's mom must be very talented in decorating all these :D

Find this couple bird lovely, snap*

Had our lunch at one of the signature Singapore chicken rice restaurant in Singapore. Brunei also has famous SCR restaurants all around, but guys, Vicky is having the original one here yo, muahahaha. Ahem, sorry.

Big family of 3 generations, all love SCR :D Can see that this particular SCR from this restaurant is not just a simple chicken and a bowl of rice, there's more than something behind.

Wanton (Dumpling) Soup, no idea why but I feel like craving for the soup now, yeah, now, as in 10.06pm now. Probably I'm thirsty.

*Be right back, I go drink water*

*ok back*

So where am I, oh Chicken rice.

Chicken Rice. Some restaurant's chicken rice very oily, too soft or too hard, but this! Chicken rice is an exception! The rice, even you try just one biji of the rice grain, you will be totally immersed into the world of chicken, the essence, the scent, the not-too-oily juice and many more that I can't use word to describe.

Did I spend too much time on describing the rice? o.O

3 layers pork. Didn't eat that, but err, it does not looked as bad as others, where you can see oil dripping down from the fat layers... O.O ok skip.

Vegetable. It's been a while since I came to Singapore, to eat vegetable. Real dish of vegetable I mean, those 2 slices, or 3 pieces of vege in mee soup does not count lolz.

Tada! One of the main character for today's lunch, steamed chicken. One word, Superb!

Roasted chicken, agreeing to Elise's statement, that different SCR restaurants has different recipe for the sauce for roasted chicken, this dish is sugoii-ly delicious! Especially when you mix it with chicken rice :P

Rode MRT from Bishan to Novena. Then I came accross Novena Square, which I just discovered today, there's a shopping mall in Novena! :D

yay.

Attracted by this cute little bean shop, Mr Bean "Life's simple pleasure", nice quote aye! Everything made of soya bean, soya bean classic, soya bean watermelon, soyabean jelly drink, soyabean papaya and many more. Got soyabean spongecake too! I tried the soyabean classic (cold) for S$1.40. If the original version tastes good, I'm sure all the other will be too!

It tastes totally like the one my mom cooks, which mean, they are using original stuff as ingredient. It is healthy, cures thirst and very refreshing!

As I was about to walk back home, something stopped me by again.

Namely, QQ Rice! What's more interesting about it is that they make rice into a ball, inner fillings will be your own choice! And their rice is not just an ordinary rice, got brown rice, purple rice, wheat rice, and many more!

Reminds me of dumpling festival, just that the rice is not sticky and in cone shaped lolz.

See that?! Lot's of choices! So I decided to try one ball.

For the rice I chose Five Grain Rice,

for the inner fillings I chose: "Tuna, Radish, Corns, Seaweed, Fried egg"

Weird Combination I KNOW, cause I'm weird enough to eligible for that.

Clifford always ask me when am I going to eat rice, cause I have not been touching rice for almost 2 weeks now. So here is it! I am eating RICEball.

Haha, I'd rather say it looks fun to eat than delicious to eat, so cute!

And somehow feel touched, getting to eat the food where I myself get to decide all the ingredients I want. Taste a little bit weird, will get another combination next time lolz. But overall is NICE and FUN to eat!

Here is me eating the riceball after bath (explains my wet hair). Looks tired aye? But I am happy today, so... not a big deal for me. It's Sunday tomorrow, have a nice day ahead yo!

Hi there everyone! This is gonna be a very short post. I'm at the school library now, just submit my leave form with tickets attached. Oh yes I'm going back soon! Can't wait to see my family and friends.

Hmm what should I talk about, hmm let's talk about my lectures. I'm taking 3 papers this semester, there are 2 lecturers, Mr. Andy and Ms. Suzannah.

Mr. Andy is lecturing P1 governance, risk and ethics and P3 business analysis, he has a very unique style of teaching. He loves using examples to guide our understanding, well it works! And I love the way he introduced himself via a video XD Mr. Andy is funny and hardworking :)

Ms. Suzannah is teaching P2 corporate reporting. Her smile really mesmerizing seriously, its like a sunshine shining up the whole class whenever she smiles. And she is very patience and caring too. Nice handwriting, unlike mine, sometime big sometime small XD and she looks very young yo! Sometime I think like someone of the same age is lecturing us haha.

Hmm so far I have not made any friends in school yet, not that I don't want, but I just... Don't know how to approach them :'( so basically I look like one of the loner in school lol! Good thing I have friends from the local church :) There will be an orientation today (13/7/12), so I'm sure that I'm gonna meet a friend at least :P if still cannot, I'm such a social failure T.T don't see me write so much in blog, that's what my brain think and my fingers talk. In real life, my brain think my expression talk, fulll of expressions, just like spongebob! No idea why I can't really talk in public hmm.

Anyway, got to study for another half an hour and I'm off for lunch! Bread lunch, there's an offer recently for one of the bread shop at The Centrepoint, namely Bread Talk, one for $1.10 twelve for $12.00! Can memorize already lolz.

Kthanksbye!

I spend most of my revision time at school supplementary classroom in the morning and afternoon, mainly because there's aircon. FYI, there is no aircon in my rent room, so you can imagine me doing revision with all the wet sweaty books, not good.

The shopping centre whic I most familiar with so far, is, The Centrepoint, Singapore. There is so many happening stories going on between me and The Centrepoint :) Soon to be told.

I wonder how is the ice-cream taste like, some more got chilli at the top! Lol, no lar, they are doing promotion thing, and it means you can have various type of choices, eat till your fork bend!

Went to this dessert section of Subway, The Centrepoint the other day and order my beloved...

...Bubur ChaCha for dinner! Small portion but very full! I think my appetite got smaller and smaller each day, one piece of bread I already want to say it's enough liao. FYI, I used to be a super bread lover. But don't see any symptoms of slimming down at all lol!

Massive red nutmeg on the street! At first I thought it's an alien warship or something. After reading the description on the standboard, the name Orchard Road is actually comes from Nutmeg itself. And this nutmeg is created for the remembrance of it. Something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong :P

Different flavours of Popcorn!! Brunei Wai You No Hav Dis?! But I haven't try them, wait till I have a friend to share with first ^.^ By the way, the popcorn's name is Garrett Popcorn, am I lihai enough to remember the name?

Just like DST in Brunei, in Singapore, it's Singtel!

Let's Sing through the telephone!

DST looks better though, can Dance and Sing through the telephone!

This is Milo, Milo is this. Bought a new mug costing S$1.50, since my mickey mug (Free from Colgate Toothpaste) cracked when I try to pour in the hot water :'( RIP Mickey Mug.

Digestive biscuits, which have become one of my meal, either breakfast or dinner.

Back to the riceless days woots!

About whether I have made any friends in Singapore.

Yes I have met one big group of really nice friends in Singapore, friends from church that is :) They are so friendly and cheerful and kind and so devoted, which somehow motivates me spiritually. I wanna thank God for the loving people He has arranged for me. Then I realised that I have problem in communicating, or probably they are way too fluent in speaking english, which I always "Ha?"  "Sorry?" when they speak, so they end up repeating all the time. Sigh, back in Brunei I should have speak more than type in English. Like most of my chinese friends in Brunei, we sms using English, when face to face, speak Chinese pulak. So if you see me vomitting all this English words in my blog, it doesn't mean that I can speak them well ah. I'm just an inside-out banana girl lol!

Anyway, they didn't take this as a big deal, which comforted me :') In fact, they'd love to know more about me and I'd love to share with them too. Ignoring all the broken English I speak, as long as I can get them to understand what I'm trying to say hoho.

This is Elise, 2 years younger than me if I'm not mistaken, a loving and caring girl. It's July and her birthday falls on July, so she got to blow the candles :D It's quite a fun practice to organize it that way. Seems like only Elise's birthday falls on July, out of so many people!

Riding bus back home has become one of my daily routine as well, enjoying the view of tall buildings, nice cars, different types of people on the street and so on. I have still have a long long way to go...

Took a picture with my lovely nephew the day before I depart, he was digging my hand bag as usual, he knows how to on my HTC phone don't pray pray, good thing I have pattern password he didn't know, you never know who he gonna call, what he gonna post on my facebook or many other more O.O He's a real-life Jimmy Neutron!

Dinner with my family, I look like the Dai Go Dai in this picture hoho,
"Lai lai heng tai, let's take a gang picture"

And I fly...

...to Singapore, got in a taxi. Hohmaigosh I need to tell a big story here, for the first time I ride on taxi, taxi driver gives us an opening ceremony by sending us to the wrong place, we end up waiting for another 30mins for next taxi embarrassingly as the hotel clerk told us that our booking is not on their hotel, it's the other hotel, we're like O.O and don't know what to do, luckily he managed to call a taxi for us lolz.

First place we go after unpack everything, ORCHARD ROAD! :P
Not shopping noh, just have a look around and feel the momentum.

Was trying to find my school and end up in a spooky narrow street, common sense telling us that we're lost. I think I have seen this somewhere in a Singapore movie or drama hmm.

Lunch at Subway, The Centrepoint. Chicken Ramen.

Clifford's Fish Toufu Mee Hoon.

Super pretty escalator way up to a shopping centre, forget the name liao.
Don't harap me to name all the shopping centres here, even if they are
very famous one haha.

Me and ford ford.

So yeah, it's the escalator that amaze us so far, you see the tiny LED lights at the side, they are perfectly attached and designed. It's like an airplane landing way though.

Seriously???? This is seriously the highest and longest escalator I have ever seen! Me as a non-height-phobia girl, also shaking legs on the way up.

Somehow I manage to shake till the top.

Organic Breads everywhere!

Then we went to Bugis Street, cute kid playing with water fountain.

Ubber cool designed i-dunno-the-name shopping centre, those shiny plates are of course, serve for a particular purpose, they shine at night! Isn't that cool??

Bugis Street, fresh fruit blend :D $1 each only, totally worth it.


Meet up with Clifford's friend, Manny. He brought us to this i-don't-remember chinese restaurant.

View from the restaurant.

Crab meat Pau, inside got crab juice one! So incredibly delicious.

Minced meat wanton

Fried Rice, superb!

View from the restaurant at around 7.30pm, so nais! Wondering what the crowds waiting for hmmmm, *looking at that shop.

Clifford and Manny.

Then Manny thinks both of our tummy still got lots of space, he wanna fill them up to full. He then brought us for dessert! Which is one of Clifford's and my favourite :D

It's lucky that durian season falls on that period, Clifford has a so-precious chance to taste durian sago soup. But seriously, I stayed away from his mouth for hours after that.

Manny's Fruit Sago, looks slurpingly delicious!

My yam sago soup, too cold, can't really have the real taste, should have order the hot one. Oh well, what I have is time and lots of chances aye? :D Man Man Lai

Maggie Mooooooooooooooooo, haven't try it until now. Cause everytime we pass by there, we either full or just had our meal. Oh well like I said what, chances? Time? Muahaha.

The glamorous Bugis Street Signboard with lots of people waiting to cross the road.

New shopping centre, super cool ceiling.

We had Galeteria Italia Ice Cream, Clifford's hazelnut ice-cream.



My Pistachio ice-cream, nice! Very full even though I had the baby cup, see how generous the assistant is, giving more than the baby cup can fill!

Haven't try this also. Looks so colourfully attracting.

Went to cinema as well, watched "The Moth Diaries", love the seats and environment. Too bad the movie is shown on the small theater, but.... chances? time? man man lai....

A big empty hall at cinema I dunno what it use for.

Saw Japanese! People snap them, I also snap.

Fish pan-mee soup! From... gah.

Ford ford's satisfying meal.

Shopping centre under sea! Nola, it's digital actually. Cool isn't it?? Totally, a cow from kampung I am.

Inside the cinema! Whoo, their pop-corn is massive! So big that even a big tummy me and bigger tummy Clifford cannot finish! Will snap a picture of the pop-corn next time.

Fish&Co. in Singapore. Have tried the one in Brunei, so as a potential customer, me and Clif had our dinner here.


We make out order through their ipad, coolest thing ever! They just leave the ipad on the table and let us make our order, aww they really put trust on their customers :)

Fish & Co. creamy mushroom soup, superb!

Coleslaw :D

My main course, mushroom spaghetti.

Clif's Fish and Chips, not serve on the pan, probably because this meal is on offer, so it is served in a normal way. No offer baru can eat on pan T.T

Saw this when we are window shopping, it's crepe! We ordered tropical fruit crepe, which compromises of pineapple cubes, fresh cream and strawberry syrup.

Loving it.

Clifford's sad face aww, he's sad because we are going to be separated.
He makes me look like I don't care. I care de k T.T I miss you :'(

Had our last meal (in Singapore before he leaves, have to specify a bit, later lead to wrong indication) together.

Japanese meal, Chicken Don.

Me having coffee in a cafeteria, looking pro and cool, but in fact, I'm actually lost so I find a nearby cafe and anxiously search for directions lol! Nobody knows that XD

So there is it, mostly food pictures, I will make sure I snap more of places and scenery picture for the next post :)

When there is a will, there will be a way. Besides from my study, I will learn every possible things I can learn here in Singapore, not those ojibala one noh haha, something worth to be learned that is. Jia You Vicky.
