Handle Bar with JR gang...

I met up with the JR gang at Handle Bar for dinner on Wed. Actually it's more of they eat I watch cos I had my dinner while I was waiting for the people in SE service center to revive my W810i.

Handle Bar had some changes like finally having a menu and also an increase in the prices of all the items in the menu.

I showed them the peanut butter chocolate cup that Irene bought for us when she went to US for work and was telling them that it was very nice. Brian saw it and opened it. I was protesting saying that it wasn't meant for him to eat. He ignored my protests and took a bite, stopped, looked at me and asked me what is inside it. I told him peanut butter lor then started pointing at him and asked him to puke it out. I remembered that he was allergic to peanut butter... He then spitted out whatever he had in his mouth. It din strike to me that he should not eat that chocolate cup until he asked me what was inside it. See lah... told him it was not meant for him to eat liao he dun listen. :P

Anyway I had quite some fun with them during the dinner. HJ finally tried the Beer Butt Chicken which took 1 hour to cook. Heard from him that it's not very fantastic. Think the FnC is still better but we noticed that the portion had decrease. So sad... It's no longer the most value for money FnC we know with the increase in the prices and reduction in the portion... :( But I think we will still be back there some day ba...

W810i in hospital

I sent my SE W810i to the hospital barely 2 months I bought it. I was so fed up with it keep hanging... Grr... Finally cannot stand it and decided to send it to the hospital and see if the 'doctors' there can be of any help to cure it's disease... I sent it to the hospital on 31 Aug and collected it back on 5 Sept cos I had lessons on mon so I had no time to collect it.

The lady in the service center told me that they upgraded the software and blah blah blah so it should MINIMISE hanging. Ya rite... It took less than a day before my phone started hanging again. It kept hanging throughout the day that I got so fed up with it and decided to skip my lesson and go down the service center to scold people. To think I only collected my phone the day before. GRRR... Waste my time...

By the time I went down to the service center, I can't even on my phone already. The people in SE service center then offered to try repairing the phone on the spot and ask me to go back half an hour later. Half an hour later my phone is still in ICU. The people there then told me that they will be changing some board inside the phone and ask me to collect my phone the next day. I had no choice but to collect it back the next day.

My phone is working fine now and it BETTER continue working fine now. Wasted so much of my time to go down service and collect... My dad was saying most probably because I keep dropping my phone so that's y now so many problem. But I only dropped the phone once and the impact is nothing compared to what my N6230 had been through~! I think if I wan to get a phone that can withstand all the impact I keep giving to my phone, I better stick to Nokia in the future... But the designs of Nokia phones now are so ugly... hai...

Exam's Over~!

Hee... My exams are finally over liao... :D

I only had 2 exam papers this semester cos one of my module is non-examable (not sure how to spell it :P). I think I did fairly well for my Global Marketing paper while I did only an OK for my Strategic Marketing paper. Think most prob I'll only fare a B or a C for both papers. I hope I can fare a B for my Global Marketing after all from what my lecturer says, my group scored the highest marks for our report. Let's just hope I can get a B. :)

I hate exams...

I hate exams... Other than having to study for my papers, I always get fat during that time.

Sad to say, I have the habit of munching something while I study. SO, I end up putting on weight while I happily munch away. Be it tibits, biscuits, chocolates, sweets, or maybe some food that McDonald's sells. McDonald's?! How come food in McDonald's you may ask me. Cos I usually go there to study with my classmate. I will get something to eat even if I am not hungry. Just cos I wan to munch on something while I study.

Think I will need to slot some thing to go excercising to get rid of the extra weight I put on while I continue studying and munching away for my paper tomorrow. Time for me to go find something new to munch on now... :P

Rebonding failure...

I went to Bedok again on Saturday... This time is to do rebonding for my hair... My sis gave me this contact where the lady charges reasonable prices for rebonding. Since I think it's time for me to do rebonding for my hair and heard from my sis that her friends says it's not bad, I decided to risk my hair and try out to see how good it is.

The place that my sis recommended me was actually at someone's place. It's those home based salon in a 3 room flat... There are lots of people who go there for to cut, perm, dye or rebond their hair. I was actually quite stunned to see so many people there when I reached that place.

It took me 2 hours of waiting before my turn came and all the while there are still people coming in. My rebonding took another 4 hours and I almost fell asleep if not for the television programme. The 2 ladies are very hospitable, offering food, drinks, sweets and even fruits while I was waiting to finish my whole rebonding process.

Finally my rebonding was done and it LOOKS quite nice. But it only looks lah... I felt some roughness in my hair when I was touching it. It was not smooth like the previous times I did my rebonding in other places. I questioned the lady if she burned my hair but she said that it's cos the cream they applied on my hair was too close to the scalp that's y I can feel some roughness. It should go away after a few washes. I seriously doubt so...

Tried washing my hair and I still can feel the roughness... :( Think my hair is more or less gone liao. Maybe will consider going to Kimage to do touch up for my rebonding and see if they can 'save' that part of my hair... Let's hope so...

Watching movies in Bedok Princess

I took time off on friday to go back to SP to submit the hard cover binded copy of my final year project. As I was still quite early after I submitted my final year project, I decided to head down to Bedok to wait for Benny to finish work.

I managed to reach Bedok at 5 plus but after I finally managed to get Benny on the phone, he told me he can only finish work at 7 plus. Wah... that's like 2 hours of waiting so I decided to go walk walk in Bedok central. In the end I decided to go to Bedok library to wait for him.

After Benny finally finished work, I met him and we had dinner at the hawker center near the bus interchange. Since we had no plans after dinner, we decided to catch a movie in the only cinema in Bedok, Princess as we were too lazy to go town also. I got a surprise when I saw how cheap they are charging for the movie tickets. I do know these kind of old cinema does not charge as much as GV or Cathay for the movie ticket but I din realised that they actually only charge $6 for a movie ticket on friday. That's like $3.50 difference from the usual friday movie ticket wor...

Prices of the movie tickets in Bedok Princess

Princess is those kind of old old cinema where I used to watch movies in when I was young. It has this big big screen with lots of seats in the theatre. Maybe because their seats are not as comfy as those that you find in Cathay cinemas, so in order to attract people to watch movies there, they had to lower their prices. I sort of missed watching movies in these kind of old old cinemas. Maybe because it brings back memeories of my parents bringing my siblings and I to watch a movie in the cinema in AMK. I kind of miss those days... :)

Future plans....

Just finished my presentation for my global marketing proj today. According to the lecturer my group scored the highest for our report but he thinks our presentation is disastrous. No choice lah... He did told us to put in only the main things in the project. However I think my group overdid it by leaving out some of the important points he hoped that we will present. :P Anyway, no matter wat we finally finished my global marketing project. Hope we can score for the project cos I din do very well for his test. :P I still have my flash scene for my Web Based Multimedia that I have yet to touch. Luckily it's only one scene. I think lazy me will start working on it tomorrow nite ba... :P

My manager and I was chit chatting this afternoon while he was inside the lab carrying out some "destructive" work. We always say that he is out to destroy something in the lab whenever he comes in the lab to do some work no matter whether it is some R&D or helping us to solve some problem. I will always ask him "You come in to destroy what thing this time round?" whenever he puts on his lab coat. :P He was asking me what are my future plans after I finished my adv diploma. I had given this some thought before but I really have no idea what to do. I am still more interested in getting a degree in Chemical field but that will require me to study 3 years in NUS or approximately 1.5 yrs in Australia. Other than the $$ factor, my mum is also against me going overseas to study as she always has the opinion that people usually go overseas to study only when they cant get into Sg University. I am not saying that I can get into NUS w my poly results lah, but I jus dun wish to study full time for 3 yrs in Sg. I mean who will 'yang' me while I study? I know I can take up part time work whilst I study but I'm actually kind of tired of studying n working at the same time. I have been studying and working throughout my poly life and working n studying after I graduate. I think working and studying is still the most siong one... :P

Whatever the case, I think I will need to start to give my future study plans some time soon. After all I will be graduating from my adv diploma soon. Wooo... looking forward to 22 September 2006... Cos that will be the last day I have to attend lessons for the course. In the meantime I will need to study hard for the stupid exams that cause me to miss my company's technical team building day... @#$%
