T.I.M.S.U.M

I have no idea where to start... Juggling Facebook and a blog can be quite mentally taxing, besides I do all my updates on FB that my blog is pretty much obsolete.

Let's see, high tea at Yum Cha for Dad's birthday celebration! That was an absolutely delightful meal for my tastebuds because I havent had good tim-sum in, SIX months. The best thing is Dad's an avid fan of tim-sum, so it works just fine to bring him there for the celebration. They make really fantastic portugese egg-tarts, I was popping them into my mouth. I'm really bad with food description, but let's just say the crust was crisp & fluff and the egg custard was so soft and flavourful that it melts in the mouth. Perfect for each other!!!!

and the timsum that follows..

With the commencment of school in just a couple of days, I've resolved to party hard and then be a good schoolgirl with my lecture notes for the next four months.

Halloween Night on Saturday; EXCITINGGGG and can y'all spell PARRRTYYYY!!!!!!!!

And the Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song

The butterflies fly away

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!

Movin' my hips like "Yeahhhhh!!!!!

HELLOOO SINGAPORE

It has been a good week since I've finally reached home after been away for a good six months. It's an undeniable fact that coming back home, seeing my friends and family was really exciting and amazing.
As wonderful as it is, little did I expect the culture shock that awaits me. Having lived here almost my whole life, I thought I would have no problem adapting back... However, the past week has proved me wrong.... It's not only a matter of getting used to the way things work, but most importantly how our people are...

I felt horrified each time they bestow me with their ungracious and inconsiderate behaviour; to think I've highly promoted our country to all my friends...
If we really want to place ourself on the global map, we have better work on our service standards and to be more gracious and considerate.
Just the other day, Andrea and I had lunch at HEI Sushi and it was then I remembered how bad our service staff can be... Maybe I shouldn't benchmark using the America standards, but the least that waitress could do was SMILE... I doubt she can even make any recommendation if I were to ask...

Going to head back to school later to submit my final report, can't wait to see if anything interesting awaits me... I promise I will clean up my room on tuesday after I'm done with my report.... and I'm sure I will do it!!!!

till later

Hong Kong International Airport

The effect of a 15 hours flight!!!!!!

Plane back to Singapore behind....

p.s. The WiFi in HK has just changed my languange to chinese, this is driving me nuts..

I'm glad I have a little time here in the airport to write up another post before I head back to Singapore. Bid my last farewell to Nemo and everyone at work, friends I've made over this short span of 6 months. It was hard but I know I have to go and I'm just thankful for the opportunity I've had to do my internship in Disney World. As much as I complain about work and how I wanted to go home during the early months, now I wished I could stay on for a little while more. To forge a deeper friendship with all these people I've met and to do more things which I haven't had the chance to, I just wasn't that ready to go....

At the same time, I'm really excited to see everyone back home... My friends and family which I've left behind to pursue this program 6 months ago... I bet there're alot of changes in Singapore now and I'm kind of excited thinking about when my flight touched down at Changi Airport.

So I've finally checked in my luggage and I've got to tell you, that was an eventful check-in with the sorting of luggage. Apparently I'm the only one with attrocious excess weight, so my adorable friends tyng, jasmine and Ben has kindly allow my stuff to bunk in with their luggage. OR I would have to pay USD$300 in total for both bags. My heart was palpitating each time I set it on the scale and how despondent I felt when it was still overweight. I'm glad I'm done with all of those...

Yeap, no amount of words can sum up my entire experience here and I'm glad to say I've gave a beautiful full-stop to the best summer of my life.

the art of technology;

ALSO A REFLECTION OF MANKIND'S LAZINESS

that's right!! Sarah is just sitting less than 50m away from me but we're conversing with our face plastered to the screen (on msn) instead of talking face to face...

And just yesterday, I had facebook remind me of everyone's upcoming birthday, some other would have totally slipped through my mind if not thanks to facebook.

Instead of calling or meeting up with people to know how they're getting by, we just read update or look at photos of each other on various kind of social network.

As efficient as technology is; helping us build a bridge to tasks deemed impossible in the past, it has somehow made us lazier and had definitely not helped to draw individuals' mind together.

Pardon my rattle above, its just something that came across my mind. I have exactly SIX days before my return. Lots of things going on in my mind, things to do before I go and places to visit!!! I have got only four more days of work but I have got no mood for Nemo!! drat!

I have a couple of pictures from my trip to South Carolina, so enjoy!

These are just a few of the many which we've took... I'll upload the rest on fb so check that out. I'll probably upload pics from my visit to SeaWorld!!!

BYEEE!!!

HEY Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!



I'm back from my four days retreat to Aiken, South Carolina whereby our friend Ryan and his family has nicely offered to host us. I can't tell you how awesome it was to get away from the hustle and bustle of Disney to somewhere that still holds a charm that you get to see at no where. Not just the place or the scenery, but the long history that eventually shaped the place, its people and their hosptality that has made it the most unforgettable weekend I've had in these six months.

SO NOW, its back to reality and I'm gonna have to head to work in just a bit. So do not feel like working, I think I will be giving away my shift on Saturday. That's going to be the last day I can give my shift away and then just another four more days of work and I will be heading back to good ol' Singapore. It felt a little too surreal that I'm actually going home and I may be glad to go but I'm sad to leave everything here behind. Plus, work at Disney is starting to be a pain because I'm sick of doing the same thing all the timee... I think I'm better off typing reports... HAHAHAAH

oh well, just TEN DAYS!!!!

AND the reality of having to start packing is dawning on me and I'm fucking scared cuz I may not have enough space or I may exceed the weight limit. oh my gawwdddd!!! Shouldn't have gotten so many pairs of heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

going to get food now!!! will be back with more!!!!!

loves :D

BENNIGAN'S Grill and Tavern

Booo!!! It's the end of the week yet again which means I've endured and successfully clocked in 48 hours and 30 mins.
OVER-TIME = $$$
OVER-TIME = $$$$$

And to commerate the end of the week, room-mate Sarah Sam and I went out for dinner at Bennigan's. Supposed to bring her over to Perkins at Crossroad because they serve really really good food. But its kind of out of the way for today's schedule so we postponed it for breakfast on Tuesday. Food was good, maybe because I have been having too much junk this week so a good sit-down meal is all I need.

Sarah


French Onion Soup

Grilled Salmon and Shrimp with rice

ABC Hamburger

Deadly Chocolate Treat

We ordered the desert thinking it's a cake but it turned out to be ice-cream so I guess that was a nice surprise. Did some shopping at Walgreen before heading back home.Technology has made us lazier people because I was chatting with Sarah on MSN when she's less than 10feet away from me.

I hope I manage to give away my shift on the tues and fri so I'll have more time to do things I want.That's all for today, I'll get back on this as soon as my events calendar starts to fill up.

Good night guys, or Good Day wherever you're.

LOVES,

Pei Rong
