went for a dinner date with xp at shaw tower~
a gem where many would have neglected hehe


what i remember about shaw tower is that
i used to catch some movie block busters like 10 years ago here
the movie previews in the very big theatre
other than that i seldom come here because of its location
(beach road is somewhere between suntec and bugis)

shaw is a name i supposed everyone in singapore would know
but how many would know the story behind shaw?
the shaw brothers started the shaw foundation
cos they believe that they shld give back to the society for what they have obtained from the society
and shaw foundation is one of the largest philanthropic organisations in the world

upon completion of prince and jade cineplexes at shaw tower
the team were the first to introduce the concept of cineplexes into Singapore
which has become a standard today

now, block buster movies are no longer showing at shaw tower
the retail wing -
‘Shaw Leisure Gallery or SLG’ is its name now
it is a budding place for entrepreneurs with new products and concepts
as well as a destination shopping place for niche and unique products and services
shoppers can expect a personalized shopping experience here

ok so why did we come all the way here?


because thru research we know that there is this very very good and cheap thai restaurant!


argh the queue is sooooooo long
and we were informed that they were taking last order in an hours time =(
we gave up and decided to change for sth else
and we chanced upon this on second level~


hmm turkish cuisine
seems pretty nice and we decided to give it a try~


very comfortable and spacious environment inside



happy us~
waiting for our food hehe~


the service here was very very good
and the waiters and waitresses were very attentive
they were always around when you needed them
and most importantly
the food was served very fast!


my appetiser mushroom soup


no, it wasnt like what you expected
it was mushroom soup with a turkish twist
i also dunno how to describe
it was a blend of mushroom and kebab yeah thats right!
and i love the bread~

this is another appetiser i ordered
egg plant salad and it turns out to be my favourite favourite!
(i finished the whole thing myself since xp doesnt eat vege -_-)
and being an egg plant lover myself
i really really love this!


chicken baked rice for him


to me it was a bit salty
but he likes it =)


this is for me - the chef’s platter
all the meat are very well marinated
salty if you just eat the meat alone
but fantastic and goes perfectly with the bread
(yeah i really love their bread - crispy outside and soft inside. makes me hungry now bloggin abt it )=


after dinner we decided to sit a chill for a while
as this is a really nice environment
too bad all the window seats were taken
i would wanna sit by the windows and watch the night scenery while i dine the next time!

we ordered this sofra special mocktail


looks just like any other normal drink right?
later i will show u that it is NOT
we happily camwhoring the whole way =P



and this is what i wanted to show u~


there is this bandung like jelly in the drink
(the holes were poked by me using the straw oops)
and my favourite were the nuts and raisins inside the drink!
no it didnt taste weird
the blend was perfect
i dunno how they did it
i could nv imagine putting jelly and nuts and raisins inside a drink!
but it was so nice~

very satisfied xp =)

see the windows seats?
i wanna sit there next time!

japan japan!

japan - the land of cutesies~
there even is such cute version of their map =)

so what do i love abt japan?
the vending machines?


yeah they are found practically everywhere
and u can buy almost anything from their vending machines
from normal ones like cold or hot drinks
to cigarettes and condoms
they seriously made full use of this invention for their convenience ya~

and i love tokyo!
(well its the only place i’ve been to in japan..)
love the ppl there


they are always so disciplined and polite
always keeping to the right
(yeah it might sound like a small thing but i am damn irritated with those ppl standing here there everywhere on the escalator blocking my way while i am rushing!)
its so difficult to find dustbins ard there but..
the streets are still so clean!
i found out later ..
the japanese actually picks up OUR rubbish
no litter..
and and theres more to it
we can eat on the subway in japan hooray!
why why?
all boils down to the ppl being disciplined
they wont litter and dirty the train!
i love their culture and how disciplined (considerate) the ppl can be!


for all the above mentioned
i have to go to japan to experience it myself
but way before i went to japan
i love japan already!

first up,
japanese manga/anime!



and slam dunk gotta be my all time fav!


accompanied me through my sec 4 life
slam dunk made me laugh so hard and cry so much!
even now when i see them
i can still feel the clinch in my heart =)

slam dunk forever yay!


and how could i ever miss this out..
their foooooooooooooood!
omg i love jap food so much!
jap food anytime for me man!


favourite is sashimi!
and favourite sashimi is mekajiki (swordfish!)
yummy!
i can go to jap buffets and jus whack on the sashimi =P
hehe..


and japan is such a lovely country
with the cutest things on earth!

one of the shops in tokyo
snoooopy land!

it was a sponsored trip to japan few years back
i wanna save money to go there again!


last but not least..
why was there sponsored trip?
cos of my favourite sports - cheerleading!
japan cheerleaders are one of those greatest around the world
it was such great exposure to be able to even watch them live
we couldnt even match up to their ALL FEMALE teams!!
it definitely opened my eyes
and widened my horizons!

that was me on the competition floor in 2007


omg i feel old..
and i miss cheer so much!

nationals are finally over
lots of thoughts running thru my mind
i jus cant put them into words

shld jus share the videos first while trying to organize my thots =)

2nd runners-up: aces team blue~

and a tied champions this year: ntu aces team gold and wildcards!

mixed grp stunts champions: wildcards!
i dunno how to embed fb video
here’s the link~
-=<wildcards_mixed_group_stunts>=-

and.. japan exhibition performance!

these girls were awesome!

—————————————————————

as usual
i still kept thinking abt cheer after the comp
even though i have alr stopped competing for 2 years
once a cheerleader always a cheerleader
haha
me and regine together cheered for ALL the competing teams
especially those teams whom nobody cheered for
but deep down inside my heart
i know which are the teams i really want them to win
yeah 2 teams
aces and wildcards
i dunno whether i shld feel happy abt the results
because both teams were the national champions
both teams won~
i was telling my colleagues before the comp
either team wins i would cry
cos i really dun wish to see any of these 2 teams lost
but do i feel happy abt the results now?
honestly i think nobody is really happy haha
its just a -_- feeling
i rather feel sad when either of these team loses than feeling this kind of
totally sian diao feeling
when it really shldnt be the feeling u feel aft a major comp =P

but anyway
its still good
it might not be the best results but at least
neither team needs to feel sad

aces is still the defending champion!
the juniors, both team gold and blue
whom majority i dunno the names
have surprised me in many ways!
mostly new and inexperienced cheerleaders
they’ve shown us how much they have progressed in this short short period
and i really meant ALOT!!
well done aces~

i have my share of happy and unpleasant memories with aces to be honest
but afterall aces is still my home for cheerleading
i dunno how the relationship turned out to be so awkward
cos of some ppl in the team
but i still always see myself as an aces flyer
a fact that would never change
i remember the times when zm always talk to the flyers on msn
the times when neville n i were bitching abt other ppl
(mostly done by neville tho =P)
the times when rara bear would tell me its a routine he talks to his animal family on msn everyday
the times when spencer would msn me asking me abt my ankle
(i dunno why i even rmb this)
the times when ian just loved to give all sorts of nicknames some seriously awful
the times when i helped xw in wooing xw (haha~)
lots of things happened in the short 2 years i competed for aces
i guess i was too emotional back then
but then i think again
if ur friends cant accept ur emotional part
they arent really ur type of frens
lots of memories which nothing could change them
but memories are part of u which shldnt be left behind
they helped u to move forward to be a better person
i am still emotional
but good friends help me steer my emotions in the right directions =)

and CARDS!
u have finally proven urself to be the national champs!
the best in singapore!
i am really really really ^10000 proud of you
wildcards are really like my little babies
(but stop calling me mama.. -_-)
i have been watching them grow
from the beginning until now
despite being a social team with limited time to train
and different commitments for everyone
you have grown sooo much
everyone surprised me in every possible way

elephant:
with zero experience in cheerleading and inflexibility
plus psychomotor problem! (i still rmb e doraemon dance ;)
u have became one of the best midtiers in my mind
and of cos a great cheerleader!
continue to strive hard ok?
and keep surprising me!

nellie:

an almost impossible build for cheerleader
but u did it girl!
u proved to everyone who thot otherwise!
and i love the way u cheer e crowd~

kkk:
never thot this monkey would be serious
but u pulled it thru all the way with wildcards
from cheerobics 2009 to SNCC 2010

i am so envious of ur flexibility can!
congratulations u r out of ur sad story corner!
and became such a confident cheerleader on stage
i am super proud of u watching ur routine girl!

joanna:

with ur weight advantage

bases summarised:
ok la..

hehe kidding..
dun really know all the bases
but there were a few i wish to mention..

zhiliang:
my fav xiao di whom i always miss alot
who is always so emo
but also always so considerate for others =)
and of cos
u r definitely one of the greatest bases in singapore!

shrek:
the cutest giant i ever seen but such a lil boy at heart
a lil boy who can protects me
and have always been there for me =)
super determined to achieve
and of cos turned out to be one of the greatest bases too!

ochi:

but it stopped there leh..
heard u tossed other flyers also the same height =P
but a great partner stunt base nonetheless!
really~

isaac:
might not be the biggest cheerleader ard
(esp with all e giants in the team =P)
but u have everyth else that a cheerleader needs!
great extension w me super long time ago
next time lets try more!

vince:
the most all-rounded cheerleader + coach!
we know u can handle flyers whom cr cant handle
and u can teach each intrigue details of the stunts so well!
best thing is u r a great designer!
from routine chloreography to uniform design
u r the best la~

cr:
the only (known to me) ah beng coach in singapore
noone points middle finger more than u
noone scolds more hokkien vulgarities more than u
but u were really a great coach to wc
and i believe u have found ur home in wc too =)

and to other bases esp the new bases:
kahau, ken, small gary, jayson, winston, harry, richard, wei hoe
(sorry if i missed out any name!)
u guys have really done such a great great job!
really really proud of u wildcards! =D

i can write a whole long essay for each of u!
but i shant bore u guys with old grandma story
(this post is long enuf already =P)
wildcards have ppl from all sorts of background
different levels of experiences in cheerleading
from zero experience to cheerleaders from the champions teams
at the end of the day
everyone of u has found your home in wildcards
and i am really happy to see that everyone is so bonded
keep it up cards!
you can achieve greater things in the future~ =)

i love rexaz and gusto performances too!
gusto improved tremendously
*applause to them!*

argh i am getting tired..
3 cheers for all the cheerleaders out there!

5 reasons why i am proud to be a woman!

1. definitely gonna be this: women suffer for 9 months and bear all the pain to give birth! mothers are the greatest people!

2. women are seem to be soft but the truth is, women can handle stress better! we cry easily but crying helps relieve stress~ which is linked to my 3rd point below

3. women dont have strange ego to uphold - thats why we can be soft and cry when we are stressed/unhappy, showing our true emotions instead of letting them bottle neck till explosion!

4. women have the rights to get pampered! yay~ not the most impt but favourite! hehe~

5. women look good easily! or at least much easier than men. there’s a saying ‘there is no ugly women but lazy women’, we have all the tools in the world to doll ourselves up even if we are not blessed with looks to kill~

it is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN MONTH this month and the international women day falls on 8th march every year. wanna know more? check this out~ (click on the image below)
