Science Centre

Just to let you guys know that this entry is a late entry! The detail is meant for last Sunday 30th April.

That day Meow Meow, Chris, Derek, Hong Jun and i decided to drop by Science Center as we ran out of place to hangout also taking into consideration that Meow Meow and myself is low in funds. We met about 2.30pm which Meow Meow and myself is late (as usual). We proceed to have our lunch as none of us with exception of Hong Jun had lunch. After some food and a small take, we make our way to the Science Center.

When we reach there, i propose to the guy on whether are they keen to watch the documentary on the Egypt in the Omni-theater, which turn out not bad. When we were inside the Center, we were very amaze on the number of exhibit that they have and most of it is quite interesting. This really show that i have not been to the Science Center for ages. But the most disappointing part of the whole trip is that we only have slightly more than an hour for viewing the exhibit. The Center closes at 6 pm and our show is at 5pm. But we had decided to go back to the Center again some other day.

We end our day with dinner at IMM having Jap food. Food is quite standard and a nice dessert to end the day. In general, the day was quite fun and really enjoy our self! Really looking forward to it again. By the way, i had taken some photo which i will try to upload it soon.

H. S. (Hectic Saturday)

WARNING: If you are not interested in someone's complaint, please do not attempt to read, understand, or comment on what is presented to the readers' eyes below. Thank you.


Meow Meow never had such a tiring Saturday for a very very long time. Meow Meow started the day waking up with three morning calls from one very close cousin, Y.B., at around 7am, 7.30am and 8am. And Meow Meow was like, eh, sleeping of course! It was first of all a Saturday to speak, and second of all, it was so god damn early (a usual working day timing) and last of all, Meow Meow had one of the most tiring and demotivated weekday that same week.

Waking up 8am of course (as I am late) and wash up, walk down the usual peaceful and quiet road along to blocks of apartment and down into the Jurong Point. Walking past the stretch of shops reaching Boon Lay Control Station in a jiffy 10-15mins. Late as usual with such a timing, The cousin group, consist of Meow Meow, Y.B. and W.H.. And hence the group traveled down to the kind of isolated area of NTU (Nanyang Technological University) for a very "motivational" (the exact same word Y.B. used to describe the morning event) and informational seminar by some experienced professionals in Investing and Finance.

Meow Meow really appreciated the seminar, but the appreciation could be better if the seminar wasn't so early. After really hours and hours of long cozy and bored session of information sharing, the whole seminar group of people who was suppose to join the Cash Trail was finally released for refreshments. Food was just food for Meow Meow that so damn very moment. And had them to satisfied the long hours of waiting and hunger. Felt soo much better after the little snacks and munches.

A little introduction of the Cash Trail event. Cash Trail is a resemblance of Amazing Race and Stock Exchange combined together into a "game". Basic instructions was: 1. Required to get to six stations with one is inside the NTU itself; 2. Make stock transactions just with the situation the of three fictional companies present state of management; 3. As of stock transactions, there is three activities to choose, to Buy, Sell, or Hold the stock; 4. In each stations, there will have a bonus question to be asked. Answer it correctly to earn an additional of $500; 5. The remaining 5 stations are scattered all around CBD (Central Business District) with only clues on cards are provided and we are suppose to guess where it is; 6. The last and final most obvious requirement is to reach OCBC Building by 4.30pm.

An amount of $100,000 (value) was given at the start of the event and there we the cousin gang left the area of gathering to the first station. In whole and all, we are both physically fatigue and loss in the areas. Mentally strained and practically hopelessly lost to the management's ability to hold out such an event. Accepting the fate that it is practically unfair and impossible to win with such a state of unforeseeable under-ruled game.

Out in all, the $1,000 did not belong to the cousin gang ultimately. Meow Meow knew for sure that Y.B. really wished to have that, pretty eager and willing to go through anything for it. Efforts wasted and all the group could do was console ourselves taking it as a cousin bonding session and that we enjoyed the whole trail and that we got ourselves nice lunch, informational sharing talk, and goody bag in the end nonetheless. Meow Meow got more then that, earned a blister on the left foot sole and thorn skin around the back of the ankle. That added onto the two more other portions of my foot abrasion from my reservist, my foot is kind of well "decorated" now.

Meet Woow Woow, Derek mistress and Hong Jun for dinner at Marina Square and had Japanese food. Not a bad place to dine in, and thus, quite enjoyed the moment. A few more bits of walking on top of all the walking the past few hours Meow Meow had went through. Meow Meow and Woow Woow decided to catch a midnight movie after that, and we caught "The Orphanage". Foreign cultured and horror movie, with few good scare and nice, wonderful story line. Finally watched a horror show with Woow Woow after a long long time, and this time, really really been a rare occasion when the audiences really SCREAMED.

Proceed home with Night Rider to Woow Woow place from the Cathay (walking again). And got home, Meow Meow thought the day couldn't get any worse, as the hour of rest is near, but no... Woow Woow's Jody, the fat ass dog, wanted to sleep in the room which Meow Meow sleeps. Meow Meow thought it was really ridiculous to have a pet in the sleeping room of masters, but no, it was as though the dog has pushed its luck and got what it wanted. Really really bad mood (no... is not just bad, but rotten mood) and felt so at daggers drawn with the stupid dogs Woow Woow had in his residence. Slept on a thin piece of cloth with sponge which is old and stained with dog's urine, which Woow Woow called it a mattress to aggravate Meow Meow's back and neck ache. Meow Meow could experience nothing worse than this ever... ~End

WTH (What The Hell)

No one is going to believe it, Meow Meow is actually blogging! Actually, what is more unlikely is that Meow Meow is actually not in camp now. People may think, how come? What has happened to Meow Meow's In-Camp Training (ICT)? What has happened to Meow Meow's reservist?..

The whole story begins like this, that the very Monday Meow Meow was supposed to report for reservist, Meow Meow woke up very early in the morning (not to forget, Meow Meow slept at 2am) around 6.15am. After washing up and all the dressing up, Meow Meow make way to Clementi by MRT. And reaching the area kind of early enough, Meow Meow decide to have a decent morning breakfast at Clementi one of the nearby food center.

Meow Meow had a bowl of not-bad Mince Meat Noodles and after that head to bus interchange to take bus. In the meantime of waiting for bus, headache grew from beginning scratch of not-enough-sleep headache to head-pounding headache, so took a change in plan. To consult a doctor Meow Meow goes, Meow Meow visited the private clinic which is frequently visited and went through the whole process and got one day MC.

Meow Meow was feeling like "blessing-in-disguise", and proceed back to camp and endorse the MC. Making the way to find the overall coordinator landed Meow Meow sitting in the camp's canteen waiting for some assistant of the coordinator to get to him through phone (sucks man, it took quite a long while just to come to a conclusion: suspend me from training). Meow Meow's head was little bit tipsy and spinning, as though Meow Meow has just been hit by a rock. The rest are all history...

Got home, rested... But that's Monday. Today, is the most terrible day of all. It actually start pouring cats and dogs when Meow Meow and Woow Woow was about to leave the work building crossing road. That's not the worse part of the thing, Derek mistress came calling saying that he has reached the meeting area and the movie Meow Meow and him is going to watch is not starting at 7.30pm but at 7pm. It directly means "we don't have time to eat dinner"...

But anyway the movie that Meow Meow and Derek went to catch was 10,000 B.C. and it was not a bad show. Basically quite nice and did a lot of scenery, fighting and ancient scenes shooting. Story concept is not too bad, and the actors are good. Meow Meow would grade the movie, 10,000 B.C., 3.5 out of 5. After that, a good dinner near Food Republic. Ends the day with a good bath, nice chat with Woow Woow and blogging. Writing off, Meow Meow.

A Day Out

Saturday was really a blast! Meow Meow and i did not really do anything, we first went to the career fair to get some information on education course that some university are currently offering. We did not really stay for very long as there really much over there, as mostly was for education and the hotel, sales and marketing industry. Not something that i am looking for!

We then decided to go to orchard by means of walking as the weather is ideal for walking. Anyway, we wanted to have a KTV section but as it turn out the place was fully pack so we decided to go to taka kino book store to look at some books. We did not really spend much time over the place, we later proceed to go to border to look at more books (we did not really have much choice as we firstly had not have our paycheck and secondly we don't really have any idea on what to do).

After looking at some magazine, we took a bus to vivo city even through we are way early then before the intended meeting time. When we arrive at vivo city, we went to white dog cafe (my favourite place) to have some snack and coffee and we spend some time talking till time is up. I personally love to just sit down and have a chat over a cup of coffee. This is really life! I think i really sick and tired of the everyday life in term of the rushing between here and there. I think i just like to just find a place to chat over a cup of coffee with friend. Don't you think that great!

Anyway, after meeting the gang, we had our dinner at vivo thaixpress which had great food but not so good service. I personally had already decided that the service at thaixpress is not much of service and the idea of paying for service charge for service that don't really justify is really costly. Don't you agree? But then again, can we choice not to pay for it. After a hearty meal, we took the train to chinatown but the most funny thing is that we actually miss our station. How can you blame any of us when you put a bunch of lovely but bitchy people together (Which include me.. hehe). There bound to be lots of talking and bitching.

Back to blogging, it turn out that we still need to pay for clubbing as we miss the first 100 people. Well, this really a lesson to learn, and that is need time we really need to be very very early just to make sure that we don't pay. This is something i need to note, as you guys have known by now that i am a avid clubber. Nonetheless, i did enjoy myself even through i did not drink a bit.
