Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 2 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==- Gosh! Time really passed by so fast and tml is school already. But anyway, I don't really bother myself with it! :) Today visited my granny at my old house area and really really very happy to see her again. I feel that I should visit her more often when I have the time because she took very good care of me when I was very young and very grateful for that! :) Talked alot and took photo! YEAH! HA! I find that now, I find kinda paiseh to take hongbaos from the adults because I feel that i'm a working adult more than a student. Really! Taking hongbaos is like a passe for me le. Don't really like it and the awkwardness... :x I gave most of the hongbaos back to my mum because she's not working anymore and she still give out hongbaos. So i don't usually 'earn' during cny lo. Ha! But I guess it's better to use those money that is earned by urself, don't you think so? Me and Marcus ( a grandchild of my sis'

Today is certainly a fun day for me... Well, forced myself to wake up at 10.30am! So early right? Coz my dad intended to drive us at 11am! Man, i am really so tired from last night's shopping! :x Anyway, last night was out with Fred, Dennis, Zhenqin, Renhong, Bryan and her sister. Really kinda cool to celebrate CNY EVE with your friends. Different feeling. Oh yar, we were at Chinatown and it's really alot of people. People squeezing people and we ate the cool coconuts! I Love 'em! Let me tell you this... it's better to go to Chinatown juz once for CNY because at that place, you can really feel the spirit and you can get so many cheap deals right after 1.30am! I got my pistachios (I hope it's spelt like this) and 3 packets for $10. Fred and I bargained and I told the shopkeeper that the 3 packets are actually less than 1kg... then, he didn't look at me in the eye when he said 'NO'. Then, after repeating twice, i believe I was right! He gave me another pa

Hi all! Well well....so fast CNY and it's the end of JAN soon! Can someone please stop time? Anyway, life has been kinda packed for me! But it's alright...had my fun and learnt alot! :) As many doesn't know... I have been working for TIGER Beer for the past 3 days. And it's really so exciting to be roaming around with the TIGER Lady and the Cai Shen Ye. I believe you might have seen them at the coffeeshops recently. It's to promote the awareness for Tiger Beer in this festive season! I am so amazed by the number of uncles drinking beer at night! It's really alot and at AMK, there is one coffeeshop, even though it's small, nearly EVERY table got beer (Be it TIGER or Carlsberg). Oh man, there is even one whereby there are only 2 people and they drank 10 bottles! And their face are not red. Their tolerance for beer is certainly very very high! Then, I went around taking beer to the table while the TIGER Lady will open it for 'em. Then I will also take pol

Hey all! It's been so long eversince I'd updated this blog. Guess that it's very dusty! Been so JAMMed pack with activities until I can't even breathe. But one thing's for sure... I'd be much in control after 5Feb06! YES!! JAMX 2006 =-=-=-=-= Well, I'm the host for the event for 2 days and it's really an experience never to forget! I worked with Zehe and let me tell you! Feelings up on stage is numerous... Excited. Happy. Scared. Thrilled. Tired. Hot. Shivering. Mind going blank. Sound gibberish. Said wrongly. Pronounce wrongly. Forget what to say. Looking at each other. Feel like leaving the stage. Had a sense of achievement. Alot la... but am so happy that I passed MC1101 and MC2101. So cooL!! Oh yes, the ANIMATORS are great band!! Loved their performance and I'm really honoured to liaise with them lo! HA! :) Not to forget, E.I.C is great too!! Their performance is really cool! You can catch them at WALA WALA (Holland Village) 9.30pm (Fri and Sun)

Hi all! Well, today is Monday and I have certainly did alot of things today! Which I'm real real proud of it. Went to bathe Mickey in the morning. It's been quite awhile eversince I'd bathed him already. Partly he juz cut his hair and that i'm busy and stuff. HA! He's so good boy today. Allow me to bathe him silently and due to his new haircut, the time for me to blow dry him is so fast! Love it man! He should cut more often. Right Mickey boy? MUAKS! Love him alot man! Honestly speaking, today, I just feel hardworking. Just dunno why. I took down quite alot of notes for my stats lecture and it's like those have been taught before in JC and it's all slowly coming back to me. HA! Weikeong is taking the same module as me, and it's only at the canteen break that I saw him. And not in the lecture theatre. Strange right? HA! Oh yes, today I went to Eunos SingPost. You know what? It's not at Eunos! I alighted at Eunos MRT and the lady at the control station

Picture of all the CSC Day Comm!! Very nice right? It's actually our name tags! HA! This is the picture of all the people who rushed down with me to see the funkamania!! HA!! Dennis and I - This is the stone lion which was somewhat one of our main concern during JAMX last year... We're afraid that people might be too excited during the event and step/vandalise the lion... coz if it were to happen, we have to pay for it! Wth! Pic of Renhong, me and Dennis... LOOK at the FUNKAMANIA's Poster!! WOOHOO!

CSC DAY 2006 =-=-=-=-=-=-= Yeah! Today is the finale of CSC Day and let me tell you... It's really a very fruitful event and I'm so happy to see those elderly and children whom I'd been liaising with for the past few months for the first time. It's real fun to see so many volunteers coming down to help and we did the chicken dance together. At first, I thought that it's a dumb dance. But after awhile, it's so fun and tiring too! HA!! Everyone was kinda high. Had fun making milo with Huishan, Fred and Mao. And alot of people said the milo is very nice! YEAH! Not only have I managed to clear 6 condensed milk cans, I'd also cleared 2 packets of milo! Ha! When the event ended, the elderly wanted to leave already. I had this 'going-to-miss-them-feeling' and it's really so touched to see them touched. (Do you get what I mean?) Saint Vincent's Home elderly is so friendly and you know what? It's certainly an honour for me to assist an old lady,

Hungry @Night =-=-=-=-=-==-= I was so hungry that I had found myself difficulty to sleep. My house had chicken curry but eating that at 1am is not a good idea. In the end, I munched 2 biscuits and watched TV. Let me tell you. Singapore HAVE NO GOOD PROGRAMS at night. Anyway, television shall not be my friend for the next six months already. They are certainly waste-timers for us and we shouldn't be wasting our primetime on 'em. A NEW SEMESTER =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yar yar, school's starting and wth. Suppose to go for the first lesson today. But it's raining heavily. How can go out? HAA! Tml holiday and Wednesday got 4 lectures straight. This is madness I tell you. Quick... I wanna be Year 3. QUick! Derailed =-=-=-=-= Well well, I have caught DERAILED, starring Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen and let me tell you. It's real good movie. It has romance, thrills and full of twists. Amazing story and amazing ending. I watched it during the weekend and let me tell you. I don'

Today is a day of tiredness, fun, cold, and full contact of newspapers and old clothings. Yup! Did a day of garang guni... Really have no idea why Singaporeans called it garang guni.... Garang = Brave, guni = milk?... Strange. Oh yar, tell you something. Suppose to meet at 9am today. But got up at the holy hour of 8.58am. I am so amazed by myself because that is actually the first alarm ring that I heard. HA! Alot of people turned up for the event and despite the weather, we managed to go to 10 blocks at Bedok and got a total of $538. WOOHOO!! In a span of 5hours. Can't believe newspaper and clothes can fetch good money. So you know what to do if you have no money? :) I didn't manage to take photo of the recycling place that I went to. But it's so amazing. The whole stretch of factories are meant for recycling. The one that we went is for clothes. There's one for newspaper, plastics blah. Cool but dirty place leh. Some pictures to share :) Pic of Me and Dennis and we us

Well well, today went to school for alot of events. I have attended a short 10min session of presentation which I'd be doing next year this time. It's the after Industrial Attachment Presentation. It's a must for everyone for us. And I can't wait for it, coz when I'm doing that, it means that i'm graduating! Come on! I lazy to type so many stuff. Tml then carry on. Anyway, changed my blog skin because I wanna something dark, black, evil. :) Some cool pics to share... Group photo for CSC Chalet last week. :) Chloe, me, Shumin and Kailoon trying to be funny!! HA!! :) Amazingly, Fred is also similar to us... HA! So fun! Picture of Ray, Hisham and I last night at Esplanade... :)

First OC meeting for FOC (FRESHMEN ORIENTATION CAMP) not FREE OF CHARGE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I am so excited to see my comm today. Not all turned up but the bulk is punctual and really happy to see them! WOOHOO!! It's like last year, I was sitting there. And now, I'm sitting the other side, looking at where I was sitting last year. Ok...there are more than these besides the sitting part. We played minor games like double wacko, whereby Fred came up suddenly and we had an exchange of information about how our wallet relates to yourself! HA! Hope my comm didn't find it boring. If they do, I don't care! I find it fun! OH YEA! Interesting to find out that my comm is nearly and 95%formed le! YEAH!! Can't wait for the real thing to happen and wanna all my team mates to WORK HAND IN HAND, juz like all the pieces of puzzle! :) NUS and MSN =-=-=-=-=-= Well well, you may be doing it. And don't change what you have been d

Hey...Try this... It's called the WHITE ROOM . I have tried the Crimson room and this is truly interesting!! HA!!

No more Fried Rice =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This caused me to be terribly sick. I have phobia with Fried Rice le. Imagine you ate fried rice and the next moment, you feel goggy. Then on the way home, you felt terribly cold. And you kept on shivering even though it's not that cold. By the time you know it, you are hit by a fever. An hour seemed like one day. Terrible feeling. And that made me cancel 3 appointments yesterday. Missed 2 meetings and 1 chalet. For today, unable to zouk. Unable to chingay. Will never patronise that stall anymore. Waste my three dollars. No Fried Rice for me anymore. Terrible... On my way to recovery. Ate medicine which made me high. Slept alot. Which is what I love to do. Take care my friends. Holidays are ending.

Picture of mini-class gathering =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Picture of Chongyak, Me, Huihui and Tuckleng (DK). Find that the 2 pictures kinda nice... :) NYE Celebration =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Well, this year's celebration is kinda interesting. Initially, we (Ray, Hisham and I) wanted to have bbq. In the end, we didnt. It turned out that we decided to go to clubbing. You know what? The prices are so high last night. These are the prices. CLUB MOMO: $35 MINISTRY OF SOUND: $40 EXPO MAMBO JUMBO: $35 ZOUK: $33 Then we didn't bother to find out anymore le. ;x We went to esplanade to see the fireworks and we managed to reach there on time. They were magnificent! :) And Singaporeans are so typical. Immediately straight after the fireworks, many of us left the area with rubbish. And we didn't even wished each other, as in those that we didn't know. Hmmz. We then headed to have supper at Newton and the food is really very very nice! HA! :) Then East Coast Park lo. Find that this
