I’m not a party person. It has been ages since I have been to a club. So today or rather yesterday i went for halloween party before I’m too old for that. Which club should you go? Zouk it is… But… There were so many people and old people like us just don’t have the patience to wait till our turn to get into that small door of Zouk. Therefore, after one and half hours in the crowd of people fully dressed up for the party, we gave up and ended up in Helipad. 

Probably it was one of few places that were not fully packed for a Halloween night on Friday. I was just surprised that I am still sober enough to blog (maybe tomorrow morning I would realize that this entry is beyond readable). Anyways, just some photos.

Just the gals… The boys’ picture was way too dark to see anybody.

A bit drunk… 

Nice view from Helipad…

When we were really drunk…

I really think my phone camera is good! and on a side note… How do you get to Helipad? You take a helicopter… Okay, too lame. Off to bed. 

Good night!

The activity only started in the afternoon. We went for white water rafting. Overall it was quite fun, not to mention that I was the first one to be thrown into the water. Oops. Well, our instructor also fell into water later that day. According to him, this kinda things happen, although not very often. When the water was calm, we actually had a little swim in the river. The water was nice and calm, but a bit too cold. Too bad we didn’t have our cameras with us for the obvious reason. We only had one picture on bus to the river.

After the rafting, we were pretty tired. So we had dinner in our apartment. The food was… not too good. Mainly frozen food. They were neither tasty nor healthy. Nevertheless, we were still quite happy. I like this shot. Very homely.

P.S. I wonder whether I can finish blogging about the trip before I head back home. I have been quite tired these few days. I think my entries make the trip sound quite boring. Well, more exciting stuff coming up. Got to go and sleep now. Tomorrow I still have big plan to exercise.

Day 1 of the trip was not very remarkable. After the 7 hour plus night flight to Brisbane, all of us were quite burned out. The morning of Brisbane was quite cold, but we were still quite excited. So we were doing the jumping shot while waiting for train transfer to the domestic airport.

Yay, we reached!

After another 2 hours of domestic flight to Cairns, we finally reached our apartment there at 2pm. Luckily, the rain stopped after we washed up, so we headed to the city of Cairns to take a walk. Cairns is quite a small town on the east coast of Australia. It is famous because it is quite near to the Great Barrier Reef. The town is very quiet, and not densely populated. Our apartment was quite near the coast, so we walked along the coast towards the centre of the town. Hmmm, the park was somewhat similar to East Coast Park, but it was so much more serene. We were lucky enough to catch this fading-away rainbow on our way. 

The centre of the town was about 30 min walk from our apartment. There was nothing much for us to see and the food there was insanely expensive. I shall not include any photos we took there because all of us looked extremely tired in the photos. After dinner, we walked back to our apartment after some grocery shopping. Day 1 ended quite early with all of us sleeping away at 10pm…

Today is the 2nd day of our FYP presentation, which means, everybody is free after today! So we met up at Bedok MRT at 530pm and headed down to Bedok 85 market for dinner. The food was super oily/spicy/sinful! Here is the spread of food we had…

After dinner, since it was still early, the 7 of us went to Changi Airport Terminal 3. Today is 2nd time I went there. First time was during its open house last year. T3 doesn’t seem to be as busy as T1. It is far more spacious and the aircon is way more powerful. We decided to have drinks at TCC. The drinks there are…. NOT cheap. I ordered Ice Minty Mocha. This is how it looked like at the start…

Other than its pretty look, it actually had nothing really special. The mint taste was not strong, so not very refreshing.. But just yakking with a group of friends without worrying about class/test/FYP was so enjoyable! Here are the happy us!

I didn’t know my phone camera can take photo like this. Not to forget the gentleman who took this photo (the gentleman between me and Angel)..

Tomorrow is the last day of lecture in NUS. Gonna try out the academic dress. Finally I feel that I’m going to graduate! 

My FYP has finally come to the end! Haha! My final presentation ended at 330pm and was followed by a series of celebrations! The first way was to have a cup of ’screw driver’ (vodka+orange juice) at home. Don’t be mistaken. I’m not an alcoholic. I was just drinking orange juice, when I suddenly spotted the bottle of vodka I opened when sy came to stay over. So… I added it in a little bit. Lol.

Dinner was at Whitedog Cafe at Vivocity. The food was okay. Here are what we had…

Creamy Salmon Pasta. The pasta was quite nice. The cream sauce was rich and smooth, and white wine in the sauce made it less thick, so that people wouldn’t feel sick of it easily. I liked it.

This dish is called P.S. Love. What kinda weird name… Anyway, it was just prawns and scallop wrapped in bacons then grilled. The scallop tasted very good! The prawns were a bit disappointing. Not juicy enough. An interesting dish anyway. We also shared triple mushroom soup, which to my opinion was not creamy enough, even though the taste of mushroom was very strong.

After dinner, I rushed down to 6th Ave for tuition. Had some more fruits and ice cream there. Lol. My student’s mother was super nice to me, and she seemed to work very hard to feed me fat. 

After tuition, I headed down to Cheveron’s with Leng for bowling. I haven’t bowled for a week. Surprisingly, today I bowled quite well. Very few reverse hook, and I managed to open the game with a strike! Lol. For those who don’t know my level of bowling, my first ball always headed towards the drain instead of the pins.  

Got to go sleep now. Tomorrow afternoon I have driving lesson. Need to have more rest so that I won’t lose my concentration easily like the past 2 weeks. Gonna have dinner with MSE people at Bedok 85 tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it.

Hooray! FYP is finally over!
