School has been well. Today is the fourth day of Spring 2012. Everything has been good. Prepared some of these Pineapple tarts this morning – helped my mom with the dough and she wrapped the filing in then sent in to the oven for baking.

Taking modules like College Algebra, Human Resource Management and World Literature this term. College Algebra makes me feel happy and thankful for the A-maths that I took during O levels. Thank you Mr Sekhar and Mrs Mani and the tutor at Mavis Tuition Centre (5 years back) for teaching me A-maths then. Really wondered the point of studying A-maths then as it seemed to be of no use but now it does help. World Literature is quite alright except that we had a 39 page pdf to start with.

HRM is quite alright with the prof being strict on the tardiness.

Till then,
Happy Lunar New Year!

Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year!

新年快乐，万事如意，身体健康！

HAHAH omg I’m like 2 week late! LOL Things have been going quite well so far. Have been spending my holidays working every alternate days. Lack of $$$$ ! and earn some more before school starts on 16 Jan. There hasn’t been anything special going on so far. The most recent one was the Rebel 15 Class BBQ Chalet. around 30+ of us went for it and it was good, great catching with classmates that I didn’t really talked much to. It was a really good bonding session as we were all busy with our school work. Some didn’t attend due to some orientation camp that they were committed to. But overall was a good session and I had to leave early because of the taxi fare. If the surcharge wasn’t so expensive, I would have stayed a bit later and could have cabbed home since its just nearby at downtown east.

I’m right now contemplating about some stuffs that might affect school?

This is the amount of girls that we have in our class – not forgetting those who weren’t there.

-credits to Shane for all the photos other than the first two-

All thanks to Shermaine’s parents who booked a room and Shermaine invited us for a stayover, at the same time to celebrate Stella’s 21st Birthday. Before reaching MBS, I accompanied my brother for his first book-in after his two weeks of book-out from the camp.

Then I headed to Marina Bay via Promenade Station. When I stepped onto the Olympic Park, I saw this breathtaking skyline at Marina Bay just beside the Floating Platform. The wishing spheres for the Marina Bay Countdown was there. Lasers and lightings were flashed onto the spheres that were floating on the river. Many took photos of it and of course I did!

On the way to the hotel, I took some photos along the way and there were still some Christmas atmosphere here and there and lightings of reindeers were seen and all. As the other girls were still having their dinner, I went into ArtScience Museum and checked the lobby and the admission prices of the museum exhibits.

On my way to meeting the girls, I actually went to the ticketing booth for the theatres to check the prices for the Wicked the Musical but the service of the MBS was really bad. I do have my reasons of saying it. The lady at the counter might be thinking that I do not have the money to pay for the tickets and when I asked if she could check for me the availability of the dates for the musical, she just told me, “Sorry the computer is shut down, we are closed already can’t check anymore. You can check online.” Seriously the entire counter is not closed why can’t you just check for me. and she wanted me to wait for the other counter whereby another guest was served to buy tickets that cost up to a thousand dollars. BAD SERVICE.

When I took FoodService Operations before school ended, my professor was talking about the celebrity chefs in Marina Bay Sands, and while walking past those restaurants I took photos of them.

Alright, the grand room looked something like this:

And after enjoying ourselves and slacking away in the room, and snapping some photos:

Stella got changed and we went up to the top floor for the infinity pool. As soon as the lift opened, I literally :O at the view. It was AMAZING.

Some two guys were racing in the pool?

We went up to the skypark quite late and we wanted to go to the observatory part but the security just stopped the entrance at 10.55pm -.- when it closes at 11pm. Anyway the security guards were quite stern in getting the guest out of the skypark? I think our security guards in USS is nicer for park sweep as compared to theirs. SO NOT FRIENDLY. I also felt that MBS shouldn’t be a very nice place to work at as most that I encountered were not very happy, other than the housekeeping aunty that greeted us the next morning. Maybe they were tired? I don’t know that.

Anyway, we celebrated Stella’s birthday with the Oreo Cheesecake

and the birthday card that was for her:

We also did many other things whereby it happened and will only stay there. (not to be revealed)

It was a really nice trip and an eye-opener and we were doing things that were before we turn twenty-one. Maybe not for Shermaine, more for Tse Xin, Stella, Nina and myself. Thank you girls for all the fun!

Rebel 15 gathering next week, hopefully I can stay overnight and more fun things will happen!

Sorry I haven’t been blogging for the past two weeks after the StanChart Marathon. Was really really busy with school projects and all. Finally I’m having my three weeks break before the Spring 2012 term starts on 16 January. Everything has been great so far. Xmas was spent working at USS with close to 17k crowd (which was really really tiring). Crowd management is a skill to be learned I feel as huge crowds are always hard to manage. -.-

After Xmas its New Year’s Eve. Time flies and I’m heading to Marina Bay Sands Hotel for a stay over with my Uni clique and a birthday celebration for a friend.

Annual Marina Bay Countdown 2012 is coming soon and I haven’t been going for any of the events that was organised due to the amount of work that I was assigned to and kinda missed all the deadlines.

Hope y’all had a Merry Christmas and have a blessed new year ahead!
