~A simple 23rd Affair~



A typical bday treat cum date where boy meets girl,
went for a movie & coversations over a simple dinner.
Simple yet, its the thoughts that counts.



A walk at Botanical Gardens at 11pm was the supposed
intention to give the bday boy a mini surprise with 3
of his frens, with half-melted cake awaiting for him.



With the ramblings frm us against the serenity of the
atmosphere on a cooling night, it was just pure bliss.



Thank you to them for making it happen.

Happy 23rd Birthday to my one & only,
Mohamad Hakim Jawahir.

~the most creative presentation~



Had our Human Pharmacology & Physiology (HPPL)
presentation on September 16, 2009 on Wed night.
And ours was deemed to be as the most creative
presentation in the entire class. Why??
Simply bcoz we did videos & a skit while presenting
our case study, ie. Fref Field's Heart Failure.
Awesome? Yes!! Funny? Definitely!!!



Hopefully we score high for our creativity(15%)
to at least help us get a higher mark. And of coz
the cam-whoring while we waited for the train hme.


Here's the videos. Enjoy & dont forget to turn
up the volume. Listened out for the narration!!
Music are included too!


the 1st video before starting on our main
presentation, ie. a skit


the final video to end our presentation,
a dating scene cum heart attack scene



enjoy coz we definitely did!
We laughed our asses off while doing the
recording, thnx to all the bitching & the
never-ending crappy ideas! Love them!

-that gorgeous red heels/wedges-

-Oozilicious Warm Chocolate Cake-



The discussion at Starbucks turned out to be so
divine. This small lil' cake will never deceive you.
Especially when satisfying your guilty pleasures.
Forget all those calories & whatever-nots. This
lovely creation will definitely let you indulge in
all its sweet chocolatey flavours to the very last
crumb & drop. For $6.50, i wouldnt mind hving
this as dessert almost every other day.



At the very first break of the cake, the warm chocz
just oozed out frm the cake. Literally. Oh...such
divine creations. Such sinful savoury.



Who cn resist such sinful temptations?

-Reunion.Arnolds.Laughter-



A reunion cum iftar with the Pondok Batu guys was
pre-planned abt 2wks in advance since everyone's
busy with sch & work. And finally aftr soooooo long,
we finally managed to do sme catching up.

-Fish & Co.Quality time.Pasir Ris Park-



Had Fish & Co. with the boyfie for our break of fast
at TM. It was boyfie's 1st and my second there. The
first being at Suntec City's w/the crazy bunch of grp
mates the day before. Told the boyfie abt how nice
their Fried Calamari Rings & their Seafood baked rice.
All for less than $15 including srvc charge & GST/person.
So boyfie suggested to go there whn he receives his paycheck.
But instead,we ended gg there the following day itself.
We had their Swiss Fish & Chips,Chockie Junkie & their
Calamari Rings. Spent less than $35 for the both of us.
Not tt it was of any matter since it was the boyfie's treat :D



Aftr the dinner, we walked arnd Toys R' Us before
deciding on Pasir Ris Park. Spent sme nice quiet
quality tyme talking crap & of coz the cam-whoring.
At almost 11, we made our way back hme since the
boyfie was working tt midnight.



Thank you sayang for the dinner treat &
the quiet time spent. Love you bnyk2.muacks3

-Simplicity at its best-

-fun.practice.laughter-



One of the other usual meet-ups for project discussions.
At our usual meeting plc AGAIN. At the same timing AGAIN.
Only this time,we had dinner at Mc Donalds aftr so long finally.
The usual bitching conversation w/Mr Koh & all the sex-related
topics tt ONLY he cn think of. And of coz the random ideas &
suggestions tt one of us wud always cme up with & expand it
further, all the funny lil' details which nvr fails to crack us up.



And so, the brilliant idea was to hve Jacq (as Nurse Zanzy) &
Kwan Siong (as Fred Field) to play as a couple who just started
to go on a date whn Fred Field had a heart attack. Tht was
supposed to be our finishing line for the presentation.
Poor Jacq. She had to be the unwilling victim.



Thus, the location on where they're supposed to go on
a date was decided. Esplanade. Lovely scenery. Romantic
setting. Wht more cn a newly dating 'couple' asked for right?
Aftr snapping sme pictures,though it has to remain discreet
amongst us ONLY (to prevent any jealousy), we camwhored
FIRST before we began on our scripts.



Ahhhh. Here comes Mr Fred Field. Our 'MODEL' for
the Singapore River. Dressed in his pink polo tee &
grey pants w/his shoes frm PEDRO, he was feeling
the heat. Right...



And of coz the grp pic of which we weren't able to
hve it snapped w/the scenic view.



Ahhh...The attempted jumpshots which FINALLY
succeeded. And mind you, they're so hyped on taking
so many jumpshots tt they WILLINGLY took off their
shoes & heels ok. Bt aftr they hve had enough, ALL the
3 ladies in the above pic took out their Dettol Wipes &
clean their feet. Whn they ran out of the wipes, they used
tissue with Dettol Hand Sanitizer.hahaha.They're cleanliness
freaks lah seriously. If possible, everything also want to sanitize.



And so, aftr wasting filling our tyme with all the
whatever-nots, we started rehearsing on our scripts
at 10.30pm ONLY. Its a good thing we managed to
keep it within the time limit of 25mins. Once we're done,
i said my gdbyes to them & rode hme w/the boyfie.




.fulfillment.

-the preview screening-



Fri night (August 28,2009) was supposed to be a karaoke night
with the cliques at Party World. But on wed night, whilst checking
my emails,i received an email frm smeone named Soraya with the
header stating "Message From Golden Village Movie Club Winner:
Invitation to BLOOD TIES Preview Screening".AWESOME kn!!!

And so i won a pair of tixes for the screening on tt very fri which
was screened at 7.15pm at PS GV. hence i wasnt able to make it
for the karaoke. the boyfie & me break our fast in the theatre
while watching the movie. And i found out tt the whole plan was
cancelled due to poor turn-outs.

The movie wasnt even horror. Rated 3/5 personally. Want to knw
wht's it abt??haha!!Wait till the movie's out. On 10th September 2009.



Aftr the movie ended (abt 9.10pm), the boyfie wanted to look
for sme cheap slip-ons. We made our way to the World of Sports
& he ended buying a pair of Etnies Arto Saari for $72.50.It was
on a 50% discount. the boyfie had his eyes on another pair of
Etnies which was tagged at abt $150. Shall get it for his bday
this yr. Probably.Maybe.We'll see. It was almost 11 when we
made our way back hme & decided to give supper a pass since
the boyfie was rushing hme for work.

Probably another movie 2mrw. Had Final Destination 3D in mind.
Or The Proposal. Wht do you suggest??

-the forever-fun laughter meet-ups-



Our late meet-ups at the usual meeting place. Actual
meet-up timings at 6pm-7pm. Full strength only at 8pm.
Dinner at anywhere we cn think of (Brakerzin,Pizza Hut,
Mac Donalds,KFC,Pasta Mania,Fish & Co,Subway) till 9plus.
And the usual discussion pt.:Starbucks at Suntec City.
The usual meeting pts & makan places since the 1st day
of our grp presentation (a yr ago) till today.



Rehearsing of the script for our short skit. Esplanade.
Another meeting pt. esp for skits practice when Nadia's
hse was not available.




And introducing to you readers, my lovely grp members.
They never fail to make me laugh. Always cracking up
sme lame jokes/the bitching w/Mr Koh has always been
so fun & enjoyable. I'll never get tired of them. Seriously.
And honestly, these are the times tt I would willingly look
forward to our project meet-ups/discussions. See. They
make every sec worthwhile. Happiness.



And we would definitely have chocz OVERLOAD whn
it comes to Nadia's crib. Its wht u call "Heavenly Divine".
Her parents welcomes us so homely tt we are sitted comfortably
in our comfort zone, lying on her oh-superrrr-comfy-fluffy
bed, lazying arnd instead of doing our discussions, chocz
FONDUE overload, Aglio Olio/Fried Bee Hoon & Pizza Hut.
See how much she & her mom pampers us. Who could resist
such pampering. I think we spent more time doing whtever-nots
instead of discussions each time we meet-up. Oh well. That's
exactly wht tt makes the whole process so Fun & Lovely.
.Pure Bliss.


Speaking of which, Im gonna meet-up with them again.
On Wed, Sept 2, 2009. At city hall AGAIN. :))

-the surveying w/the familia-



On a wet, rainy Sunday evening (August 23), the mom decided
tt we shall go to geylang aftr looking through the "First Lady"
booklet. The dad on the other hand, disagreed. Quoted frm him,
"Orng patut cuaca mcm nie,hujan2 duduk kt rmh sudah. Tk pyh
nk kluar2 gie maner2..."...& the mom & dad's conversatn continues.



And as usual, the mom wins. Upon reaching geylang,
dad parked the car at the usual plc. We went to Tanjong
Katong Complex first. Survey a few shops, one of which
had to be First Lady. This year's designs are a lil' bit boring
as compared to the previous years. Colours are dull too.
Except for one of the shops on L2, they had mini kurung in
bold striking colours with a touch of glitz on them. Plus, they're
satin-like material.

We then walked arnd the bazaar & went to Joo Chiat Complex.
Nothing much either. The whole plc seemed dead even aftr the
plc had been revamped. Nxt stop was the new market plc.
All quiet & empty on the L1 but packed w/ppl on L2 as everyone
was finding seats to break their fast. So we decided on bazaar food
instead & broke our fast in the car. Final stop was City Plaza to look
for my shoes. But to no avail. Hence we headed back hme by 9.


-the quickie lunch w/the gfs-

2 missed calls frm an unknown no. A msg frm the same no.,
"Hey fina. Its me Gayathri. Could you please call me back
asap? Its urgent." (On Wed Aug 18)



The returned call to the gf appeared to be an unexpected
surprising news! The gf was just informed by the mom 30mins
before she called me tt she's getting engaged on tt Sat (Aug 22)!!
OMG!!! I was smiling ear-to-ear, happy for the gf while I was
still trying to register the info through my head. She got engaged
to her bf of 2 or was it 3 mths? on Sat of which i wasnt able to attend.
Hence, the lunch with the gf was planned.

I penned down my thoughts
Without asking for your opinion.
I poured my feelings & emotions
Without asking for your sympathy.
Let me leave my imprints
For this is my say.
