The Send-offs

8 July, Friday: Sending Eugene off
At 10pm, I drove over to Eugene's house to pick him up and his family to go to the airport. He was leaving for Mauritius to study one semester there to complete his degree, and will be there until November this year.

I drove Eugene and his family to the airport, Terminal 1, and we arrived there at 11-ish pm.

Right photo: I asked for a shot of our watches - I rushed down to The Bencoolen to buy Eugene a watch that afternoon, and was actually thinking of getting couple watches. But I didn't find any nice couple sets, so I ended up buying 2 watches of identical design for men, but in different colours - Eugene's got the black one, while I got the white with rose gold one - I hope he wears it all the time when he's over there!


10 July, Sunday: Sending James off
James' flight was also at T1, but at 9:35pm. James has left for Brisbane, Australia. He is going there to study a 3-year degree. The next time he will be back in Singapore is probably November or December this year.

The group photo of the people who went to the airport to send James off:Left photo: Shu-En, with the help of Elizabeth and Joanne, made this really nice card that had many many pages for many many people to write their farewell messages to James. Right photo: Shu-En & James.

While James was entertaining his other friends, Shu-En decided to remind James that she "hearts J" - as seen from the shapes made out by Shu-En, Larissa and Elizabeth.


After James went in to board his plane, we went to Wang Cafe for a late dinner. Here's Kah Wan with all the yummy butter-kaya and butter-sugar toast:

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
