Been a long long long time since i wrote anything here. But i've come to realise that a blog is perhaps the best way your friends can keep in touch with your happenings, your life, the good things, and the not-so-good things happening around you. Feeling particularly sentimental tonight, perhaps as a consequence of having to finish up my god-forsaken assignments, and of course while waiting for the long-awaited debut of Carlos Tevez in a matter of minutes.

First up, a short update on what i've been doing with my little life. There's that little thing we call PLC (or Postgraduate Law Course) which has been consuming my waking hours. Not. Ok for the benefit of my non-law friends, who have been asking me for the umpteenth time what PLC means, it simply means a Lecture/Tutorial course over 5 months that will culminate in a very NUS-like Exam. And must pass hor, dun play play one. No pass, no lawyering. Oh but i do get paid in the meantime lar, so neh neh li bu bu to all u poor students.


Dave's Wedding!

We were invited to Dave's wedding last week on National Day and it was a funny feeling to spend National Day celebrating a wedding, but it turned out to be a blast! But on the way to the hotel on the train, got Carine to narrate to me what was going on during the parade. Yes i know i sound suaku, but hey! The world's biggest floating platform stage ok! Mai siao siao!

Dave kindly invited about 20 of us, and we had 2 tables at Novotel, and because i so handsome, i got to sit at the 9 people table, which meant i had 1 1/9 portion of food. Heh heh. But from the hotel we had a fantastic view of the fireworks from the Esplanade area, so the emcees actually cued us to go out to the main foyer to watch the fireworks. Amidst the many awws and fwahs, i must say it was quite romantic to get married on that day, with the fireworks providing a brilliant and illuminating symbol of their marriage. Ok getting too mushy...nah here's the pics


The bride and the groom. But i sitting corner so no nice angle. Sian. Groom looked dapper in a suit, and the bride looked stunning in that turquoise dress.
Mr and Mrs Lim. Looking cock and sian at the same time. (I know they'll kill me for putting this up, but I am quite big sized now.)

My table! Carine says i look huge in this picture cos the girls are all so small-sized. Shit.


All of us!! Hee one big CSC gathering hor this one? Oh and check out EK and Zin, we commented that they did look like the bride and the groom, what with the suit on him and the white dress on her. Oh and check out chloe's oriental get-up. SIA/Malaysia/Philipino hybrid girl.

Food was ok i guess, typical chinois fare like shark's fin, chicken and the dish to end all hungry palettes, orh ni. Oh and i went up for my first-ever yam seng!! Ha the funny thing was, all the CSC guys who went up, went up with orange juice in their glasses. So u see the uncles and aunties in front yam seng-ing with their champagne, while we kids yam with our orange. Cool.


On a sadder note, today i went for CSC Outreach back at good old NUS, and amidst all the usual talkin cock, silly comments, and the meeting of good old frens, i did feel a sentimental pang of sadness knowing that today marks the 2nd last week of my term in office. I can't believe that a year has flown by like that. As i sat chatting with the freshies, and using my considerable charms to psycho them to join our little family, it juz came to me that this would be the last time i would be doing this for CSC. And that very soon, all of us will be forgotten, our time here will simply be crystallised in those beautiful Love Tuner magazines and emails that we've sent out over the past few months. Of cos the single thing i miss most about our term, must be the many, many friendships we've buiilt over the past year. Our meetings, notoriously long, but yet immensely enjoyable and fun. Laughter resounds through the entire clubroom and i cant remember the countless fat jokes we've made at poor janicia's expense. But kudos to her for being a good sport lar.

Gonna miss you all my mates.

Can feel more poignant entries in me.


To all still in NUS, treasure your time in this little family we've built.
