31 Oct 09 - Halloween

Went to watch MJ's Movie - 'This is it' - at AMK Hub in the morning before heading down back to office for last minute dance practices. It was the first time I stepped into AMK Hub since it's opening (don't know when). It gave me an impression like I'm in E-Hub, but its something more than E-hub. There's a touch of Kallang entertainment centre, and the brightness in the building reminds me of Vivocity -- near the juice bar area.. Nothing like TPY Hub. Okie back to the movie. I'm someone who doesn't really fancy MJ, mainly due to his negative news years back (which I've got super vague memory of), but, after watching the movie, I'm impressed. Truly impressed by his talent and professional ethics. Watching this movie was like watching his concert live. His voice, his rhythm sense.. words could not explain them. He was very professional, he knew what he wanted and he tried to convey it to his team and crew. He tells his crew what he was trying to achieve while they were 'lost'. They, on the other hand, were very professional and did they best to achieve his targets. Maybe, I should say, his targets were the crew's target. The crew adopted the target more than willingly. Everyone worked towards it, towards a common target and goal. Really heart warming and touching. I didn't tear, though there were some parts where the movie was pretty sad. When the movie ended they also played "Heal the World". I felt it was a pity that this song wasn't captured in the movie itself. It was one of my favourites during secondary school days.

After the movie, we ate Pepper Lunch -- It's been so long since I ate that! one of my favourite place to eat, too bad, Tampines didn't have that. Somebody should bring this to Tampines 1/Tampines Mall/Century Square! Right after that, we bought some last minute items like black socks and a belt for myself cos my pants were too loose. I needed a belt to hold it up hahaha.

Dance practice was okie, as we ironed out some details. A few members couldn't make it, and had to meet us at the hotel instead. When I stepped into Orchard Hotel, I was SHOCKED. To me, Orchard Hotel was like a shady hotel, mainly due to it's venue. When I stepped it, it was what a hotel should be. Not too bad. Food wasn't good though. PUBRC told us that the food tasting was impressive. Hahaha. OH well. Food tasting is always impressive. Most of the time anyway.

Towards the rehearsal for the competition, I got really pissed and flared. Because were just really not up to scratch. I really don't want to put too much thoughts into it and let it run. I preferred taking the back sit. But But when certain things just went out, I got worked up. I truly apologise for that. We didn't really see what the other department do. We weren't interested at all. We went back to the room and sat there while we waited for our turn, instead of eating at the dinner table. I'm glad the performance turned out well.. and guess what? WE CAME IN SECOND! Hmm I guess some of us were thinking we'll come in first. Cos some department's show actually got a place. The first thing I wanted to shout out when I heard the results was "KELONG AH". Okie, but I held it back. We found out that we lost due to insufficient sms votes. We were judges' favs I heard. Tooooo bad. hehe.

Here's some pictures of us, which I 'cooped' from FB. Mainly pictures taken by our 'ah Bu' of the day... Pei Qi!

After that, a few of us went Starbucks for coffee because Coffee Bean's staff shouted at us saying "SOLI WE CLOSE OREADY". B****. She was happily talking to some ang mo. And might I just add, with broken singlish. Yes, broken singlish. How bad can she be? Woo but anyway love the Dark Mocha at STARBUCKS! STARBUCKS ROCKS!

1 Nov 09 - Sunday

I just slacked the day away......of course I did my tutorials too. SIGH.

2 Nov 09 - 5 Nov 09

Nothing interesting.. How interesting can work and studies be? zzzzz Except for some woman with fat legs and insisted on crossing them while sitting down, blocking everyone's way in the train during the morning peak. And she's SLEEPING.

6 Nov 09 - Friday

I took off-in-lieu today! wooohoo! but I woke up with a bloody headache............. The world was spinning as I stepped out of bed. So, I sat in bed and read magazine for an hour before getting out of it again. Then I did some work before going out to PUBRC for meeting. Got SB to come along too.. mainly because she was like the 'finance minister' for the competition, and plus i'm not going to family day, so got her in to listen out for the meeting too. After the meeting, I was dead hungry cos I only had brunch, so went Bishan J8 to have a Banana Chocolate Cake and ice-blended mocha together before going off to meet the NTU Gang. We wanted to go timbre, but plans changed faster than anything else, and we found ourselves at Mind's Cafe. Its a good session, playing some brainless and violent games.. True Colours was a good game for us to express how we felt about each other since we graduated. I was actually quite looking forward to playing something more intellectual though ahhaha but all in all, it was fun! We bought our long belated gift for KX too ahhaa no need to guess what we bought.. It was a Lonely Planet (LP) Travel Guide -- JAPAN. We just guessed and bought the country 'Japan', and we were spot on. He's going for his honeymoon in Tokyo! hahahah We aren't very creative with gifts nowadays.. Here's what we bought for each other so far..
Veggie - LP Melbourne & Vic
MQ - LP Eastern Europe
James - LP Australia
KX - LP Japan

JZ's bday is coming up next... what country to get her? whahahaha!! She insisted that she don't want a LP! =p

Here's some pictures from our outing yesterday...
