Old Thong Chai medical institution. Wonder where the new one is. The bms students have their internship at the new one.
The knockers on the doors of thong chai.
this is what the interior looks like now. it is now a shop for health supplements.
beads galore! at people's park centre. i like the way they display samples.

lunch at this jap restaurant at Central. didn't take note of the name. nice chandeliers. makes it look like some expensive place but it really isn't.
My meal. looks a lot? haha. looks like i'm having two people's portion. but it's the set meal for ONE. small bowl spicy ramen and small bowl ebi-something don. can see a little of me at the background. haha. dont know why i didn't take what zac ate.

saw a quiz which i saw in eve's blog which she saw in her friend's blog. haha. if u know what i mean. i took it and here's the results:text in red is my comments..
Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.my true self is weird. zac knows. haha.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.yes. i like serious smart and determined people. i hate stupid people who can't hold a decent conversation. luckily i don't encounter many of such people... i don't like people who are not serious when it's time to be seious. like in group projects!! determined people..hmm sometimes they tend to be stubborn. i have a love hate relationship with them.
but i like people who are fun when it's time to be. cannot be too serious all the time right?
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.true.
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.i really am straightforward. but i thought guys find that a turn-off?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.YUP.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.YUP. i don't like doing things such as business, or investment. they don't give me any security.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.yep!
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.hmm hate to admit, but i am concerned about my image. which girl doesn't? this is prob why i like having new clothes, new shoes etc.. but i don't try very hard to be accepted. i have my own views. strong views. people rarely agree with me. i think i have more enemies than friends.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.no comments...

hmm haven't been updating in awhile, not because i'm busy, but because i'm lazy...8 Feb 2009 National Vertical Marathon
these are the programmers who took part! =) see we're a bunch of sports enthusiasts. these people also joined the nike human race with me last year.
climbing wasn't a breeze, to be honest. 60 storeys was okay on the leg muscles. but i had breathing difficulties =( i was wheezing like crazy, couldn't breathe, vision blacking out at around 40 storeys. while i was training for this event, none of this happened. maybe because the stairs at my block was open with good ventilation. the stairs at republic plaza, is an enclosed stairwell with one ventilator per floor. maybe because i was having my period too. less blood, less oxygen to my head =( was super dizzy and wanted to faint. anyway i think i made it in good time. my team did great. in my opinion..... =)
12 and 13 Feb ValenWine
this is an annual wine tasting event at NTU. drank about 10 (or more) types of wine in these 2 days. some nice, smooth and refreshing, some so strong that my hair stood up after a small sip. haha. evelyn bought a bottle of Rose called Pink elephant, and a bottle of pretty strong dry red wine called Oddsocks. haha cool names right? i didn't buy anything, thought i was pretty tempted to buy this white wine which was soooo smooth and sweet in a refreshing sense. it's a young wine, year 2007. i didn't buy =( my mum would kill me.
14 Feb Valentine's Day
didn't celebrate =( bc it would be crowded outside, so zac n i decided to give it a miss this year.

brother gave me a clam he picked from sentosa. the shell was closed. so i just left it on my table. then after a while, i glanced at it, and it was opened! i thought maybe the clam was slightly open all along just that i didnt really notice. so i just picked up my nail file on my table and stick it inside abit to open it further. it clammed shut on my nail file. i had to pry my file off. so now i know. it's alive!! so i put it in a tiny container with tap water. it's a tiny clam anyway. it still didnt open for awhile. not sure if it's dead. but i just decided to put quite alot of salt in it, afterall it's from the sea. it opened!! and the siphons (one tube for intake, one for output) extended =)) so cute! very fascinating.
can you see the siphons?? haha. the bigger one is the in tube i think. can you also see this whitish thing around the rims of the shell? like lips of the shell. it's the muscles that hold it close. but now it's open so the muscles are relaxed.
anyway i changed the container to a bigger one. last i checked, the muscular foot was sticking out also. but there's no sand or stones for it to adhere to...
