Trip to JB (End of Showdown 1)

Finally after 3 weeks of excitement, the 1st season of Final Showdown has ended. We the 8 Gods will be travelling to JB to celebrate. This time we have invited 3 newbies along for the trip.
Here are some highlights of the "sibeh exciting" trip:
Entering JB Customs: I was in the queue behind a very friendly and overly helpful guy. He was so bored in the queue he started helping others around him with the White Card. He didn't even asked, he just peered into my passport and started checking if I marked the questions on the back of the card!!! After 'teaching' me how to fill up, he proceeded to check the person in front of him who wasn't happy and gave him a "go away" stare. Haha... To my surprise, on our way out later that evening, I bumped into him again at the bus queue!!! However, the exit was swift and we happen to break away to another bus lane.
Dinner: We made our way to the JB Gardens/Market for dinner. This was the same place from the last visit. We also ordered similar stuff and re-created the "Ghost Fest" for the 1st trip. More Command-n-Control was in place and all was quite orderly =) The best part was the mysterious HOT PLATE HUM. Woo tried to convince everyone there exists such a dish. We had to see it for ourselves to believe. To our surprise, the dish arrived WITHOUT the hot-plate... -_- and it didn't taste that great.
Entering Woodlands again: All was nice and smooth... until the baggage scan. I had to be the only one to be searched -_- There were like several ahead and behind me but noooo they had to search my stuff and only me!!! Nobody else was checked... While my great pals were at the exit laughing their hearts out =) Apparently the customs Sergeant was trying to guide the Corporal how to conduct a search and I was their test subject. She searched my backpack, then my plastic bag of Tau Sa Piah. I was asked to unseal one of the boxes for checking. She dug her hands into the stuff to see the bottom of the box =) I had to oblige... like there was any other choice... Perhaps it was the face... do I have a Terrorist face?!?!

There were also other "discoveries":
1) Do not take the Express bus unless you intend to wait 30min for it.
2) Always be prepared to travel with Auntie Ming.
3) Beer and Crayfish are not cheap.
4) Bring Uncle Zhu and Long-ge along for feasts.
5) Don't ask to be checked at the Customs.
6) Don't even dream of leaping over the barriers at the Customs. (ok... Just dream, don't even attempt. Scenario analysis doesn't look good.)
7) Lastly... Don't leave the Peanut Feet at home ^^

Grace's Wedding

Today attended Grace's Wedding. She invited all of 27/98 and our dear Tet took attendence! Total 14 present, 7 guys, 7+1 gals, 13or 14 absent. Why 13 or 14??? coz YJ always felt an extra presence in the class =P (freaky sia)

This is the first Church Wedding I attended that is actually in a church. Nice atmosphere, something like in the movies. Only thing missing are the Guards with Crossed Swords =D

Great to meet everyone again... its been like er... 3 years since the last gathering at the Resort?!?! heehe, when would the next wedding event be for such a gathering again???

And well... Part 1 is amost over, with only Econs paper on Friday. Part 2 is coming up fast!!! Looking forward to the long awaited dinner celebrations with the 8 Gods and maybe a few new angels =)

Coming Soon... Final Showdown Part 1

After much wait, well not really very long, the final year exams (part 1) is here. Mixed feelings... For the whole of the month of October I have been "concentrating" on the coming exams; maybe almost to the extent of finding a cave.

Well, life is not only about exams. Time passes very fast [even when you are day-dreaming] and soon graduation will fall upon you - ending your carefree (slightly) life as a 'full-time student'. Somehow I don't quite find this an occupation, more like a parasite sucking dry parent's reserve $$$.

The first paper will start come tuesday and end on 25th Nov. Wow, that is hell a long 3 weeks to dread. Next on the major programme list would be to struggle with the FYP and hopefully work on my driving license also. Thereafter, will be the last semester and a milestone.

All right folks, Sneak Previews of "Final Showdown 1" begins today and will open on 8 Nov in cinemas near you till end Nov. And whether you like it or not...... "Final Showdown 2" will be in town next April.

Enjoy :D
