UPDATES ON SANYA LIFE
Hey everyone!
Back to blogging cus today is my off day! HAHA =D I was reading Carlo's blog while waiting for everything to load and I saw one of his post having this message which I thought it was super funny. It's his signing off message.
"I'm Carlo and you've just been slapped by my prata." HAHAHAHA! =D But I cant burst into a laughter in a computer lab at the hostel in Sanya, Hainan, China. Locals beside me will think that I am absurb. LOL!
Anyway here are the updates once again. By the way I have tried to take some photos of my hostel and have uploaded into my lappy. I am trying to find some way to send it into the computer here...
OH YAH! The system here for the computers are so bad that I cant read livejournal's blogs... DAMM IT! Super irritating. China doesn't like livejournal is it? I can't read my friends' blogs now =(
Here goes:
25 March 2009, 10am, on the way to work
Too hardworking I guess, I still decided to go work with doreen and jacky despite my given off day. Hope they give me my weekends off if not as what Doreen says, " STRIKE!" Seriously, the departments do not even discuss with each other about our interns' issues. What the pong. I think they need a HUGE revamp to 5 stars if they really want to. Even the staff here who mentioned to me also told me about this issue. Ridiculous eh? LOL! Anyway back to work already.. SEE YOU =)

JING TIAN MANG DAO TAI LEI LE! OMG!
This is horrible. I am gonna start my rants. My level of patience has some limit somehow. As the days go by, I seriously want to complain to the whole world how horrible my working days are. I miss TCA. I rather have my internship there with chefs, Mr Goh, Miss Mak, Mr Neo, Mr Chong and Mr Chia. I miss them alot. Comparing here to TCA, at least quoted from dodo, our welfare is taken care of rather than the management here. I regretted complaining about service before I come to this place.
And the situation here is simply one word, " CHAOTIC". None of our schedules are confirmed and we dont know what's going on. Though we have fun with the people here, but when it comes to business, GOODNESS! I seriously dont know what are they doing. Probably it's true about the system here. But different country has different rules and regulations. Shan't comment much and live with it.
Now one thing I want to do, right now. Quiet time. I missed it. I was so desperate to read the bible that I used my hp torchlight to read 'cus my room mates are sleeping. Shouldn't bother them mah. LOL! I miss D3 and D30! =/ Evonne with her couselling sessions, Joram with his RAWR-ing, Grace... SO MANY THINGS ABOUT HER THAT I MISSED.., Joanna and Jac's laughters, WEIRONG.. HUR HUR! OMG! I wont elaborate much before she sees this post and start to mass spam my tagboard. May with her food chat. Zhi Xiang and all his nonsense. HAHA! Josh and his msn bullying.. Cedric's blur face, Yee Siong's jokes and not forgetting the rest like Pan, Ame, Ranford, Lynette, Pastors and SO MANY MORE... Then my archery kakis, who are having their camp soon. HAHA!! Interesting committee this time round. My family, hope they are fine. =D
Hmmm, dodo is now stoning and looking out of the bus.. so emo.. LOL!
Anyway, I shall stop here. Miss you all. The bus trip is making me dizzy...

Hey everyone!
My thumbdrive doesnt work for the computers here. So irritating. Now I have to type all my post out.
I am supposed to go work today, though they gave me my off day AGAIN. I really wonder why they are so desperate to give me an off day but still... anyway, I am supposed to find Jacy, the F&B secretary to ask about our schedule but I gues I was so exhausted yesterday that I forgotten to switch on my alarm and while waiting for yinghui's sms reply, I just knocked off to bed. Since today is my off day, I decided to stay in my room to type this entry... =D
The weather is super unbearable that I have to switch on the aircon in my room now. Super HOT! 2 things that are considered gold here: WATER AND TISSUE. I know it sounds stupid but it's true. I notice the people here don't really drink much water, probably they are used to the climate here and tissue.. OH MY TIAN. Don't expect any tissue paper provided for you in the toilets here, not even the city area. When I viewed Mindy's blog, I felt like they are living in the modern city while we are living in a village sia. HAHA! =X
Anyway, the people here as I said are really warm and friendly. The girls just screamed in the changing room right after work yesterday. I was kinda shocked by the amount of energy they can scream though they were complaining how tiring work was. Yesterday's work was really hell that both Dodo and I rather stay in the stewarding area to help out the aunties. And I rather work in the stewarding back at TCA than the restaurant here. SERIOUSLY. CHAOTIC. Just chaotic! ROARRRRR!
Hmmm.. I hope my maggie mee is cooking well...
Oh yah! I decided to buy a list of MANY items ffrom the supermarket.. I hope I managed to go to the city this week...
Alright, just a report of what I have done in the morning after I woke up at 10am. I have swept the floor, wash the bathroom floor mat, threw the rubbish, refill hot water, tidy ABIT of my room mate, Jenny's clothes cus I dont want her to have the thought that I took her stuff or something. And I cant take it that her bed is so messy. 23 years old and Rita, who is another of my room mate is 22 years old. I seriously admire how can they live in a dusty room. I was sweeping the floor and let me tell you, only the walking area of the room only, and there is just plenty of dirt and hair all over the place... *faints* If dad and mum are here, I think they will just faint right on the floor immediately. HAHA! So being clean and sensitive to dust, I decided to volunteer to do those housework. It is impossible to revamp the room. I was thinking about it but then ahhh.. forget it! Thank God for my family, my ex-maid and BMI to teach me how to do housework.
YAY! My maggie mee is done! =D AND IT'S SPICY =)
Oh yah. I have laundry to settle. Must remind myself...
I hope dodo won't be angry about this morning. Poor girl must have been so angry that she jsut left. I can't hear the doro knocks today. Something must be wrong with me man. JIALAT!
You know what? Having my off day is good, cus I can do alot of catch up with God, and also checking whose's birthday is coming. HAHA! I wonder how is Singapore doing. And also my family, church, archery and my friends... And I am gonna buy the coconut cookies that Rita offered me yesterday. SUPER NICE LUH =)
Okay. I guess I am jsut gonna stop here. Got to do my stuff le! See you all soon!
God bless you 0=)
s.k signing off at 1 or 2 plus pm...
LOL! I have spent going to 4 hours using the computer here.. HAHA! Met qutie a number of my colleages who are having their off days too while hanging out in the hostel. I just hope that dodo will forgive me later. *cross fingers* And I wonder how is my schedule going.
*Haix*
Gonna eat maggie mee for dinner again...
I managed to find out yinghui's number and I am gonna plan my off days with them! HAHAHA =D Want to go to the city to buy so many of my stuff... Food, daily needs etc etc... And my COCONUT JUICE! ARGH~
And I can suffocate from all the smoking here. DAMM IT!
Alright. I think today's post is SUPER LONG.. LOL! Stopping here now.

MY 1ST WORKING DAY AT SANYA!
HELLO!!
I AM BACK!
By the way, I am happy to announce that CEDRIC HAS FINALLY GOT A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT! WOOHOOOOOOOO! =D
Here are the updates!
22 MARCH 2009, Sunday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE TAY WAN QI! =)
23 MARCH 2009
Here are 2 interesting events that occured to me.
Journey to the doctor check up...
I was on my way to the city, drove by some driver with the HR personnel. Imagine this scene where there are 2 main lanes and each lane has been further divided into 2 smaller lanes. 2 directions: to the city and going back to the hotel routes. I am on the "to the city" route when the driver decided that switch lanes to drive faster to the city, but there are too many vehicles already in front of him that he cant switch lanes. So you know what he did? He drove into the " going back to the hotel" route which means AGAINST OUR DIRECTON which also MEANS the cars are oncoming in front to drive towards us. OH MY TIAN. I was about to sleep when I manage to catch a glimpse of what he just did and I didnt dare to fall back to sleep anymore. Doreen laughed like mad when i told her -.- NEARLY escaped death. 2nd time already! Thank God.
Stuck in the toilet
I was doing my business and when after flushing, the water ALMOST flooded... OMG. Lucky i stopped the flushing on time. By the way if you are wondering why I can stop the flush, it's because the system here is that you can switch on and off the flushing system. So yeah. Anyway, back to the jammed toilet urinal... Since there are no facilities provided nor any plummer to help me, I decided to use plastic bag as my hands and fix something about the toilet which i am NOT GONNA list the details. You go figure out how it goes. It's just something DISGUSTING, yet I feel so proud of myself that I fixed it. So yeah...
24 MARCH 2009, TODAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR TIMOTHY TAN!
My first day of work today. Not bad. Crowd started off small as what is concluded by doreen and the rset of the staff. People are friendly here, willing to share and make friends with you. And they are super impressed by your english standard, cus they think you are speaking so fast... HAHA! And they really respect you for who you are. LOL! Cus you know how to speak english and you are used as translators and to communicate with non chinese customers here. Found some singaporean friends and the philippines singers who are super COOL SINGERS. Made friends from the locals here too, which includs the korean chef and a person who looks like weisheng. SERIOUSLY LOOK LIKE HIM ALOT.
There is all the carrying and stuff but I can do it luh. =D HAHA! Staff here are willing to help each other and to teach me alot of stuff. Must really thank Doreen and the staff here to guide me.
Interesting stuff happened during dinner time...
I managed to see one russian cute customer who came to dine here, but then.. HE IS TAKEN. everyone says "awwwww" BUT STILL. THE MAIN POINT: He is cute.
Then I was walking around when this couple came and asked me for help..
Couple lady: Do you offer take away service?
Me: "Yes madam, do you want me to take away food for you?
Couple lady: Yes yes, thank you very much. (and she kept thanking me...)
*while packing food into the box*
I was curious where are they from. cus they are angmoh, and I was wondering are they from aust, so I decided to chat with them...
Me: Hi! May I know where you guys come from?
Couple lady: USA (with a smile)
Me: WOW! That's cool!
Couple: *shocked*
Couple lady: WOW! You speak our slang! You know how to say, that's cool?
Couple male: You speak very good english! *agreeing with the lady*
Me: *bursting into laughter* HAHA! I come from Singapore, along with my friends for internship programme.
Couple: *amazed* Oh.. that's very good! How long will that be?
Me: 5 months.
Couple: *nodded head*
And we chatted for a few while before they kept on thanking me for their service. HAHA! IT'S SUPER COOL TO KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH HERE!!! HAHAHAHA! =D alright. I am gonna stop here. Need to sleep soon. Tomorrow will be another long day to start work! WOOTS!
I am craving for coconut juice now.. LOLS!
God bless you 0=)

Day 2 in Sanya
EVEN BLOGER IS IN CHINESE...
OH MY TIAN. I better learn chinese fast. HAHA =D By the way, my room mates praised me for speaking good mandarin LEH! =P YAY! SO people DONT LOOK DOWN ON ME HOR!
Anyway...
HELLO EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG.. HAHA! I am in the computer room using the computer now! WOOTS! Everything is in chinese. Scary shit man. Cedric, you should join me here! HAHAHA =D your mandarin will TU FEI MENG JIN!
And now I am gonna update my life in Sanya. So here goes...
10.15am, SATURDAY, 21 MARCH 2009 SINGAPORE TO GUANGZHOU
Currently on the plane to Guangzhou. Super bored & I bloody need to piss! Kinda regretted taking the window seat, cus I'm trapped inside & the 2 gentlemen beside me are in their dreamy world now. Took some time to write this to distract myself from needing to piss and also wasting my time. This sudden burst of adrenaline just rush through me and I cant sleep now. Shucks!
This feeling of independence has arrived. Exciting, thrill, risky yet enjoyable. If you are a risk taker, maybe for starters like me, try travelling alone. It may seem bored at first, but afterwards, you realise you are all on your own and you have to take care of yourself, being extra care of yourself, being extra alert, yet enjoying every moment of it. Contradicting? I find it cool.
Food from the plane was surprising pleasant. Not because of the airline cus i thought i couldnt get used to the food. Service was pretty much ok just that the announcements made were soft that I could hardly hear properly, and had to ask the singaporean next to me what's going on. LOL!
By the way, the morning sky is super beautiful! Seeing it flying through then above the clouds.. AWESOME =D It's just simply WOW!
Finally one of the gentleman has woken up, now waiting for the other one..
Anyway time was short and fast today. Really want to thank all of you ( you know who you are) that sent me off to China. I know I didnt spend enough time with all of you but you know that I still love you all =) By the way, to my family, thank you very much for helping me in everything =) Love you all!
Okay I am stopping here. I NEED TO PISS! ROAR!

At guangzhou airport...
It is super freaking HUGE there! High tech and everything, but it is just so huge that i almost missed my flight. I read the wrong number and went to the wrong boarding gate until it is not stated sanya which is when i started to freak out and I have to run ALL THE WAY to the other side of the airport to catch my flight. THANK GOD. *phew*
On the plane to sanya...
WALAU EH.. the hk couple beside me is damm disgusting. Nothing to do with the country nor they are a couple, but it's like.. GROWN UP ADULTS and the lady beside me behaving like some 5 year old girl... SERIOUSLY. For goodness sake. Luckily I felt asleep during the trip.. When i woke up, I manage to see the overall view of sanya. SUPER BEAUTIFUL... The sea is very very pretty... It's really THAT BLUE... WOW! And when i reach sanya, the person asked me for my ticket, which i cant find it, and i thought i cant make it through the gates.. LOL! lucky that guy just let me off... *phew* And I met doreen and the chauffeur who came to pick me up. =)
1PM, 22 MARCH 2009, SUNDAY, DAY 2 AT HOSTEL
WOW! It's amazing that I am getting used to everything here. Very proud of myself indeed =) Now I am just waiting to go out to the city to buy my daily goods, suggested by my room mate. Her name is jenny. 23. unigrad. major in english. dope. she is friendlyand loves to share especially about food. helps me alot when i just arrived. I'm considered xiao peng you to her, when i am 19 this year. LOL!
Anyway, coming here, it's all about independence. It's all about having an open mindset to lead your daily life. I learnt to appreciate what I have back in Singapore. Miss the luxury but I am looking forward to all the challenges up ahead. Thank God for my family who taught me housework. Here is the summary of the conditions of the hostel.
Laundry
If you think there are laundry services or washing machines, continue to dream... LOL! HANDWASH. All handwash. Lucky my room mates borrow me their soap, containers and hangers to do my laundry. And clothes will be hang at the balcony area behind my room....
Food
Food here is 0_0 But i am taking about the canteen food luh. My room mates said that the hotel food seems to be nicer. Good to hear that cus it means i can slim down. And my room mates are shocked to hear that i said the food is salty when they thought it wasnt flavorful enough... HAHA! =P So i guess you know how bad the food condition is from the canteen then.
Water
Hot water provided. No regrigerator. So you have to let it cool down on its own which takes hours I guess...?
TV
Not bad actually. Graphics not of good quality, screen jumping up and down... not those severe ones, but you can watch lah. I was laughing at their programmes.. and they actually have korean drama series here!
Toilet
In Sinagaporean's view, it's really bad. Stains are left probably for a long time that it's impossible to scrub. Shower head provided. Urinal is those squat type. So i need to adapt quickly especially if i want to shit. And also there are stains that probably left for many years which couldnt be scrub off and they are there. LOL! so yeahh..
Room
Everywhere you walk in the room you have to wear shoes, so not much i say i guess...?
BUT WELL.. above all those, i am still adapting and surviving well =) WOOTS! Kinda excited about tomorrow. Now I am abit tired and that stupid guy beside me kept smoking, so irritating!!!
I shall stop here and go up to my room and rest then. Tomorrow should be a long day. See you! =D
God bless you 0=)

This feeling of independence has arrived. Exciting, thrill, risky yet enjoyable. If you are a risk taker, maybe for starters like me, try travelling alone. It may seem bored at first, but afterwards, you realise you are all on your own and you have to take care of yourself, being extra care of yourself, being extra alert, yet enjoying every moment of it. Contradicting? I find it cool.
Food from the plane was surprising pleasant. Not because of the airline cus i thought i couldnt get used to the food. Service was pretty much ok just that the announcements made were soft that I could hardly hear properly, and had to ask the singaporean next to me what's going on. LOL!
By the way, the morning sky is super beautiful! Seeing it flying through then above the clouds.. AWESOME =D It's just simply WOW!
Finally one of the gentleman has woken up, now waiting for the other one..
Anyway time was short and fast today. Really want to thank all of you ( you know who you are) that sent me off to China. I know I didnt spend enough time with all of you but you know that I still love you all =) By the way, to my family, thank you very much for helping me in everything =) Love you all!
Okay I am stopping here. I NEED TO PISS! ROAR!

At guangzhou airport...
It is super freaking HUGE there! High tech and everything, but it is just so huge that i almost missed my flight. I read the wrong number and went to the wrong boarding gate until it is not stated sanya which is when i started to freak out and I have to run ALL THE WAY to the other side of the airport to catch my flight. THANK GOD. *phew*
On the plane to sanya...
WALAU EH.. the hk couple beside me is damm disgusting. Nothing to do with the country nor they are a couple, but it's like.. GROWN UP ADULTS and the lady beside me behaving like some 5 year old girl... SERIOUSLY. For goodness sake. Luckily I felt asleep during the trip.. When i woke up, I manage to see the overall view of sanya. SUPER BEAUTIFUL... The sea is very very pretty... It's really THAT BLUE... WOW! And when i reach sanya, the person asked me for my ticket, which i cant find it, and i thought i cant make it through the gates.. LOL! lucky that guy just let me off... *phew* And I met doreen and the chauffeur who came to pick me up. =)
1PM, 22 MARCH 2009, SUNDAY, DAY 2 AT HOSTEL
WOW! It's amazing that I am getting used to everything here. Very proud of myself indeed =) Now I am just waiting to go out to the city to buy my daily goods, suggested by my room mate. Her name is jenny. 23. unigrad. major in english. dope. she is friendlyand loves to share especially about food. helps me alot when i just arrived. I'm considered xiao peng you to her, when i am 19 this year. LOL!
Anyway, coming here, it's all about independence. It's all about having an open mindset to lead your daily life. I learnt to appreciate what I have back in Singapore. Miss the luxury but I am looking forward to all the challenges up ahead. Thank God for my family who taught me housework. Here is the summary of the conditions of the hostel.
Laundry
If you think there are laundry services or washing machines, continue to dream... LOL! HANDWASH. All handwash. Lucky my room mates borrow me their soap, containers and hangers to do my laundry. And clothes will be hang at the balcony area behind my room....
Food
Food here is 0_0 But i am taking about the canteen food luh. My room mates said that the hotel food seems to be nicer. Good to hear that cus it means i can slim down. And my room mates are shocked to hear that i said the food is salty when they thought it wasnt flavorful enough... HAHA! =P So i guess you know how bad the food condition is from the canteen then.
Water
Hot water provided. No regrigerator. So you have to let it cool down on its own which takes hours I guess...?
TV
Not bad actually. Graphics not of good quality, screen jumping up and down... not those severe ones, but you can watch lah. I was laughing at their programmes.. and they actually have korean drama series here!
Toilet
In Sinagaporean's view, it's really bad. Stains are left probably for a long time that it's impossible to scrub. Shower head provided. Urinal is those squat type. So i need to adapt quickly especially if i want to shit. And also there are stains that probably left for many years which couldnt be scrub off and they are there. LOL! so yeahh..
Room
Everywhere you walk in the room you have to wear shoes, so not much i say i guess...?
BUT WELL.. above all those, i am still adapting and surviving well =) WOOTS! Kinda excited about tomorrow. Now I am abit tired and that stupid guy beside me kept smoking, so irritating!!!
I shall stop here and go up to my room and rest then. Tomorrow should be a long day. See you! =D
God bless you 0=)

Hahaha =D 2 more days to my wine paper. Scary man. I pray that I won't be retaking the module. God, please help me! *cross fingers*
By the way, I felt this excitement about this coming Saturday! WOOHOO! I am travelling alone for the first time man! HAHA =) Totally understood how Lynette felt. Luckily there is Dedric who will accompany me in Singapore first. At least someone will talk to me, explore the DFS shops, and probably as what he suggested, talk to his mum... LOL! Anyway, flying all the way to hainan alone.. WOW! Just got an email from doreen and it seems nice to be there, which kinda contradict from what yinghui has shared with me at his side... So weird.. Both are in Sanya but just different branches but receiving different experiences.. Oh well...
Anyway, I will miss all of you! *HUG* You know who you are!
Alright! Today will be a busy day! Gotta go!

Hey everyone! Here is just a short update of photos which shows what happened to me for the past few days =)
SUSHI DAY
Went out with my archery kakis to eat sushi at the century square branch. And here is one of the scene where my dearest brother was craving for his all day long TOFUS and check out how fast he GOBBLED them down...
And here is one random picture of me and jingru while we are on the way to meet the gang...
OT AT POTONG PASIR DAY
Here is the day where brother gets his honor of splitting his arrows, and the picture shows the outcome of what has happened. To all the archers out there, you know this sucks big time when it happened to your own arrow...
And after a few ends of shooting right after this incident, jinglun wanna eat his mee pok as usual but chun lim wanna eat mac, cus there is mac value lunch, as both ys and I were quite okay with anything... so this is what happens when 3 guys started to dispute over where to eat...
And finally we went to Macs, and I saw this little creature...
TODAY
Aron made this for me! =) Van chua is gonna be so jealous for sure. HAHAHA =)
And it's super darn good!
Alright. gonna stop here. I gotta start my revision for wine. ROAR!!!!

Updates about life now =D
Ever since I finished my last paper on thurs, here's how everything went for the past 4 days...
FRIDAY (27 FEB)
Finally.
The day where I woke up at a later time.
The day which is the first day I started my holidays.
AWESOME FEELING.
Waking up late has been one of my best hobbies ever. =)
Initially thought there was an outing, and it was cancelled after all. So I didnt manage to join my archery kakis to hangout. Still, resting at home was good. Went for the first session of A.I. One word to describe: MINDBLOWING! Pastor was sharing about helping out the poor and those issues, and it really hits me to see several people suffering so much, so far more worse than myself. It hurts, and it's painful to see that the poor suffering while the rich are exploiting their money on luxurious goods. It hurts to see the fact that out of the whole population of 6 billion people in this world, 4 billion of the world is suffering from poverty. It hurts to see the fact that 2 plus billion people are having less than US$1 as their income daily and 1 plus billion people are having less than US$2 daily. It's like a realisation of knowing how fortunate we are, to able to eat, live and sleep well daily, despite our problems and complains in life. More than half of the population in the world is trying to survive in the harsh world out there. Learnt alot during the service, and I decided, maybe I should give a try for the mission trip. =D
SATURDAY & SUNDAY (28 FEB & 1ST MAR)
NTU COMPETITION
3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE: HOT, HUMID, TIRING
photos shall say it all =D
Went for the 2nd session of AI after sat's competition.
Tired, exhausted, but FANTASTIC session! Really really good. Testimonials of kids getting abused and living in those poor environmental conditions where it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to stay in... very sad. A girl was sexually abused at a very young age around 5? Ran away from home, cus she could not handle the pressure and came to the orphanage for assistance. But these kids are really saved, thank God. It's really a motivation to see such people living their lives happily, despite their poor circumstances, and yet young people like us, always think of giving up hope and suicidal just because they failed their exams etc. It's like a wake up call for people who wanna give up after seeing those videos of these children in an orphanage screaming and having fun and living their lives to the fullest even they have horrible childhood experiences. They are even able to forgive people who have harmed them and move on with life. WOW. What an impact. What an impact. I was so touched by this ignited spirit of living in these kids. Amazing. =D
TODAY (2 MARCH)
Passport given to Mr Zainal =D
Went to eat at pastamania with doreen, mindy, aron and weisheng, and heard PLENTY of stories from them, especially about siying! HAHAHA =D super funny! Afterwards, I went to meet the brothers at city hall and we went walking about in town. IMAGINE THE BROTHERS WALKING OKAY? For your info, my brothers always complained about walking from place to place but this time they did! Did plenty of catching up with them, but I hated it to see them complaining how horrendous A level results were.. -.- Anyway... Went to check out guitars at bras basah and it made me wanna get an acoustic guitar. I am so gonna sell away my classical for my acoustic guitar. And oh darn! I should have taken a video of eugene playing the guitar. LADIES, trust me, if you all see the way how eugene plays with the guitar, you will be attracted, SERIOUSLY! =D WEILING, YOU SHOULD HAVE LOOK AT HOW EUGENE PLAYS HIS GUITAR! I am super way proud and honored to know him as my bro. Maria joined us in the night, where we all mainly have prata and brandon having his pasta as dinner. Afterwards, we chatted PLENTY and walk about around bugis before going home. And finally RICK GOH YIKAI HELPED ME TAKE MY GOODS! =D He has grown up man! =DDD
okie dokie! Here's the end of my summary of the 4 days. AND...
addicted to facebook and WHOSE'S LINE IS IT ANYWAY?! WOOOOOHOOOOOO! =D
okay. Gotta go update my blog and settle a few stuff. 13 more days countdown. provided everything goes smoothly =D
