Every Entry is a piece of Memory

I just wasted a pair of Jurong Birdpark tickets today Cause stupid WJ doesn’t know how to give definite answers. I dragged till today, which is the expiry date..Zzzz. Then suay suay, I gotta work at 5pm. Plus I was supposed to meet up with Kaibin they all today..so didn’t wanna rush here and there. Couldn’t find anyone to give the tickets away to; such a waste.

Anyhow, went Chii Hian’s house for the meet-up. Cause they were having steamboat at her house. I didn’t join them for that; I had enough that day :S Yea..so I joined them later

We ate a lot of sinful stuff..hee hee.

Limin brought Secret Recipe cakes which were heavenly. We were like “hmmmm….“-ing all the way when we ate..LOL. Machiam some commercial ad..hahaha.

Kaibin brought the famous Krispy Kremes that were flown over from Aussie!

Shuning was already very full, but the donuts were just irresistible!

Happy reunion! (Kaibin was somba-ing..LOL)

Pressies from Bin Bin ((:

She bought a slate from Warner Brothers for me!!! So cute right! Our school should change all the dirty slates to this! Hee hee.

Happy moments always pass so fast After chatting and eating for 2 hours, Shuning gotta leave for her cousin’s party and I gotta leave for work too..boo!

And we saw giraffes at the MRT station!!! O.O

On my first look, I thought they were real =.=

But there was actually someone inside =x (See the hole at the neck?)

They were part of the Singapore Arts Festival

Reached Mediacorp early so that Ting would have enough time to teach me everything before she left. 11 tapes to digitise =x

Was superrrrr bored because I was all alone in East Wing I guess everyone had already knocked off from work..Zzz.

And it was kinda scary. Wanted to go to the toilet but one of the cubicles was flushing by itself =.= I think someone spoiled the flush or something. But yea..the flushing sound was freaky, so I decided not to go =x

No toilet to go. No one to talk to. Stupid me forgot to off my MP3 yesterday, so I used up the battery..Zzz. So no music as well

But I had fun cam-whoring and playing with my slate! LOL. I took super lots of photos. But these are the presentable ones. The rest were ruined by bad hair/smile day =x

Retarded, I know. Can’t you see I was freaking bored?

Celeb’s a cook - Scene 6 Take 4. Action!

I <3 my slate!

My first Warner Brothers gift ((:

Hey I didn’t know I actually have quite long eye lashes

LOL! I even set timer to cam-whore

Counting down to the end of tape =x

Say cheese!

Yea..I watched the 4.5 hours footages =.=

By right, I should be finished by 9.15pm. But stupid timecode break for one of the longest clips. So gotta manually re-capture the clip again =.= Then I was busy playing with my bubble gum that I forgot to stop the capture :S

So I ended up leaving at 9.45 Working alone is sooooo not fun!

Oh and I just heard from Ting today about 1 of the producers whom I’ve worked with. Yea..this producer is actually quite known for being…touchy =.= At first I thought he is just more open-minded. But it turned out that he really is that kind of people..Zzz. Ewwwww…no wonder he so over-friendly with all the random pats and stuff =.=

Alright. Overdue pictures.

Ting editing Ripleys

As promised, here’s the (low quality) photo of our favourite producer - CHEE TAT!!!

I’m back from work to do some proper blogging!

Really lucky that I had noon shift today, so managed to catch some sleep before work. But I woke up at 2.30pm for my 3pm shift =.=

Ripleys alone today. Dumped out the remaining 3 tapes, finished up ep 38, then pieced up ep 39. If I were to finish up ep 39 today, which is possible, I will only be left with the last ep to do on Monday and Tuesday :S And I really don’t need so many slots no matter how slow I edit. Yep..so I left work at 7.30, after skipping dinner (:

But Chee Beng broke the bad news to me this afternoon that I gotta work tomorrow Cause A24 crashed and all the stuff were gone. So I gotta go back at 5pm to take over Ting and digitise all the lost-footages. Was supposed to meet up with Kaibin they all actually But I can’t possibly put that above my attachment right..boo!

Saw Chin today. Although he is as nice as usual, teased me and joked with me, I felt kinda guilty to see him. I just kept thinking that he wasted an editing slot on me yesterday…Zzzz. And I’m really starting to doubt my ability to be an editor. I guess my supervisors will be more disappointed and will not let me “promote” to other shows. But Ripleys is ending soon, so I wonder what I will be doing next

Alright. About the BBQ cum steamboat (:
5pm - 7pm: Prepared all the food

6.30pm - 11pm: Our people and WJ’s sis’s friends arrived and started the BBQ + Steamboat

The roadside satay stall..lol.

Nua nua happily eating his buffalo wing

O.O That useless host =x

The steamboat side

Our clique and Weiting’s clique playing mahjong

Yea we bought A LOT of food =x

The best thing about a BBQ isn’t the food, it’s about seeing everyone being happy ((:

This guy (who didn’t catch me talking to him for many times) was BBQ-ing alone..so poor thing =x

My Maria’s workplace =x
I think by now I should know their kitchen better than WJ =.= He doesn’t even know where is the pepper, knife sharpener, corn flour and etc…Zzzz.

The chicken wing auntie =x

By 11pm - Shimin and Weiting’s friends left. Cleared up the steamboat and stuff, leaving only the BBQ part. Washed the plates and then mopped the floor.

By 12am - Nua Nua and Zhen hao left as well, cause one gotta work the next day and the latter gotta go to school (I think). Boo! Nua nua left means less fun

I wanted to leave with them too, cause I was afraid that they would start playing mahjong or gaming and I would have nothing to do. But yea..Potato persuaded me to stay to help in the BBQ-ing cause we were really left with too much food =x
And what’s more, we actually forgot to take out all the tibits that we bought!!! =.=

Barbecued the food for the remaining people, so that we could clear as much food as possible.

But one by one, they started sleeping =.=

Thapa’s sleeping poses were really funny! At first, he started smiling to himself..LOL.

Then Potato exclaimed, “Wah! Thapa in Tang dynasty!” Cause Thapa was making his pose which looks like an eunuch holding on to the Empress or something. Super funny!

ROFL!

By 4am plus, WJ and Potato were still trying to clear the satays..lolol.

So they played forfeit games AGAIN!
I prepared my camera because I knew WJ would be as suay as usual..LOL.

Indeed…

5am - 8.30am: I slept on the sofa…but kept waking up and then falling back to sleep =x
Potato and WJ cleared up the remaining stuff and managed to catch some sleep after that as well.

8.45am: Split up all the remaining food, giving mostly to Kai and TCC, since they are having steamboat tonight..lol.

9 plus: Got home, slept and woke up late for work =x

Tonning to WJ’s house now. Superrrr sleepy! The guys are all asleep, except Potato (who is still BBQ-ing) and WJ (who is mugging for his test tomorrow O.O ).

Golden Age editing with Chin (producer) today wasn’t very smooth. Yea I had fun editing with him lar..cause we kept joking and LOL-ing in the room. Erat even commented that this is the first time he heard so much laughter when someone is editing Golden Age..LOL. It’s 黄金年华 leh!!!

Yea but I skipped lunch to edit because I was super guilty for being so slow. Didn’t really help him much, so I apologised to him when Adeline came to take over my shift. Chin is damn nice I must say. Maybe not as nice as Chee Tat (duh!), but he was nice enough to keep saying it wasn’t not my fault. He said he didn’t know how to edit either. Haix. I really think I’m not fit to be an editor, despite my interest for it

Really kinda disappointed… …

Rushed down to Thomson Plaza to get all the last-minute/forgotten stuff. I didn’t expect the 3kg charcoal and 3 litres of syrup plus some rubbish to be heavier than yesterday’s otah and stuff :S Intended to buy a cake to celebrate WJ’s sis and TCC’s birthday in advance, but dropped the idea in the end because the stuff were really effing heavy =.=

Anyhow, The BBQ went quite well, just that we were left with lots of food!!! 1 whole pot of buffalo wings, 30-40 stingrays, more than 70 hotdogs and etc. Lol.

WJ’s sis’s coach’s wife thought I am their mum when she saw me mopping the floor. Then when I looked up, she was shocked that I don’t look that old..lol. But she asked, “Sister-in-law ar?” *faint* LOL!
Then I self-declared myself as the maid, so they started calling me Maria and threatened to send me back to my agency..ROFL.

More updates and pictures will be uploaded tomorrow (:

Quick post..cause I gotta sleep! It’s ok to be late if it’s Ripleys, but it’s Golden Age（黄金年华）tomorrow!

- Ting reached earlier than me today!!! O.O Lol.

- So she continued with her yesterday’s edit, while I slept for 1 hour.

- Effie came to wake me up to help them buy breakfast..LOL. Cause Ting and I have always been volunteering to buy for them. But since Ting was not free to go, I went alone.

- Touched up mine after Ting finished hers.

- Then I started editing a new ep.

- Chee Tat came halfway to view our previous edits. Took a photo of him..shall upload next time..lol.

- Thanks to Ting for making all the changes!

- Came back from lunch and didn’t feel like continuing to edit, cause my eyes were super tired. So dumped out the 2 eps that were being approved by Chee Tat.

- Only managed to dump 2 tapes. But I think we are going too fast. Got 3 more slots (each slot can finish 2 eps), and we are left with only 3-4 eps

- Rushed to AMK Hub to shop for the remaining BBQ items.

- Before that, I asked WJ if he wants to buy anything (breakfast/lunch/dinner), he said none.

- After I bought 4 heavy bags of stuff (syrup, otah & etc), he called and said he wanna buy the chicken chop rice which is all the way at (big) S11 =.=|||

- Of course I did not buy. I had got no hands to carry anyway..lol.

- Took 138 to WJ’s house, but was confused by the 169 stop. So was waiting for the bus to stop at the coffee shop, where 169 stops. End up the bus turned into Mandai..Zzz. Realised something was wrong, so I asked the uncle and he said the bus was heading to ZOO =.=

- Quickly alighted and walked 1 stop back..Zzzz.

- Stayed in WJ’s house for hours to marinate the wings and stuff.

- I smell like a chicken after that..Zzzz.

- Shimin and I managed to turn my ruined pork chop into minced meatballs Luckily I insisted on keeping the chops when WJ wanted to throw them away cause I ruined them =.=

- Good luck for my Golden Age tomorrow

Yes yes! Kai Bin is finally back from Aussie!!!!!!!

Time really flies man. It seemed as though we just sent her off a month ago, but yet it’s already 2 months and 27 days! ((:

Ripley with Ting today and we each edited 1 ep. Quite slack as usual, cause I even had time to sleep =x

Since I was only meeting Shuning they all at 7, I went shopping for the BBQ food with Potato first. Bought like 15 packets of hotdogs..lol. Then this auntie looked at my trolley and then looked up at me; bewildered. LOL.

Went WJ’s house and tried to squeeze everything in. It turned out that his freezer is kinda full with some steamboat and BBQ food too =.=

Was unable to meet Shuning they all for dinner, cause I was still in WJ’s house at 7.15..Zzz. So joined them to fetch Kaibin only. But I was horribly late! Her flight was supposed to arrive at 8pm, and at that timing, I was still at … City Hall? =.=

Yea so on my way there, I was like praying for Kaibin not to arrive so fast..lol. I thought I would end up going home halfway, but luckily she still hadn’t arrived at 8.30. Phew!

When the train was at Bedok, the staff announced that the train would be delay due to don’t-know-what (was listening to MP3). Like WTH! Just when I was racing against time?!?! Thought someone chose such “auspicious” timing to commit suicide again..Zzzz. Luckily the train started moving after few minutes. Phew again!

FINALLY reached the airport after running and climbing all the longgg escalators. But I was freaking suay enough to miss the skytrain =.=
And it’s that kind of zhun zhun miss! Zzzzz! By then, Kaibin had already arrived. So I made everyone waited for me =x

A big hug to Kaibin the moment I saw her Kaibin my dear Kaibin!

Then all the photo-taking..hee hee.

Kaibin is tired…lol.

She’s wearing the birthday pressie that we mailed over!

Chii and me. She’s getting more and more feminine, isn’t she?

Big head and me ((:

Teacher Ah Siao and me..lol.

Blur ones are still the nicest photos. Cannot find much flaws =x

Kaibin bought Krispy Kreme for us!!! OMG! Thank you sooo much!

My first Krispy Kreme It’s the nicest donut I’ve ever eaten! No doubt is Krispy Kreme ! (:

Group photo <3

Sisters in agony

Sisters in mirror image

Kaibin’s nice nice family (:

Hahaha! Kissing shot! Of course my idea I loveeee kissing shots..LOL.

Limin and Shuning made the board for Kb

Yea..Kaibin went home with her family for a good rest. Gonna meet her up some time this week

On our way back…

Here’s the group photo for the trek on Sunday (click to enlarge)

Ripley with Ting today

Initially we got nothing to do. Cause no new eps and couldn’t dump out the done-eps either. So went around and take orders for breakfast..lolol.

Called Chee Tat and he exclaimed in his sharp voice upon hearing that I’ve already finished the 2 eps last week..LOL. Super funny he

Found the tape for the new eps and started digitising. Then Chee Tat came up to pass us the stuff for the remaining 6 eps and broke us the bad news that Ripley is ending soon! 5 more editing slots and it’s the end!!! AHHHH! I don’t want Ripley to end! I wanna edit Chee Tat’s shows forever!!! But he said he currently got no new shows

Spent the whole day digitising all the 6 eps. Digitised till Ting and I both fell asleep..LOL. Super sian lah. All of them were busy editing, so we waited till 1pm then lunch. No more porridge by then

Went back and it was already 2pm. Called Chee Tat and he came down in his usual cutely-manner. Like a little kid. He viewed my edits and everything was fine

There was one part when this foreigner was speaking broken English. He said, “blah blah blah we knows.” So I put that in the subtitles. Then Chee Tat said, “Aiyoh. We knows ar. 不要啦，不要这么坏 (don’t want lar. Don’t be so bad).” LOL! Then he went on reading the broken English subtitles out, and the way he read was really funny Kept giggling to myself..hahaha.

When he was leaving, he told Ting and I, “You all dump out 1 or 2 tapes then can call it a day liao lah. Don’t need stay and do. Don’t overrun!!! 1 minute also don’t overrun hor! We got many slots. Don’t need save money for me. Maybe don’t even need to dump out at all, then you all can go home liao.”

LOL!!! Damn nice right!!! OMG! Every producer lovessss to overrun, except him! He’s like damn cute (his actions) and nice please! Too bad all the guys that I have the slightest interest in turn out to be gays (e.g. Julian Hee, Zheng Yuan Chang, some mass-comm guy & etc). Lolol.

Yea..so Ting and I managed to dump out 1 tape before we left. Will be dumping out the other 3 tomorrow and edit the new eps! With Ting again..muaha! Ahhh. But she’s leaving after her contract Ripley’s leaving me. Ting’s leaving me too BOO!

Went TPY after work. Missed the 4.30 shuttle bus to Turf City, so gotta wait till 5 =.=

Went Turf City Giant, hoping to shop for some BBQ stuff cause Yixuan bought the stuff from Giant for our BBQ that time. But it turned out to be a disappointment. No satay. Nothing. I guess only the IMM outlet has them. Boo. So only bought forks, plates and serviettes =.=

Missed the 5.30 shuttle bus AGAIN. So gotta wait till 6..Zzzz. Got back to TPY and intended to go IMM Giant..lol. But the bus from TPY to there is like from 1 interchange to another..Zzz. So dropped the idea..lol.

Early in the morning, my brother and I joined the Nature Trekker for the HSBC Tree Top Walk. Trekked from MacRitchie to Bukit Timah hill

(My brother took 139 photos and I can’t possibly put them all =.= )

Starting point : MacRitchie Reservoir

The naughty bunkeys tried to snatch a guy’s bag..LOL. So cute

After warm-up exercise and group photo

Starting off the trek on some rocky path

Trekked and trekked and trekked all the way down. Did not take many photos cause the environment looks more or less the same - trees lor.

Finally walked out and saw something other than forests =x
And that was already 1/3 of our journey. Not VERY tiring actually. But the back of my shirt was already all wet. And one of the aunties was already thinking of giving up =x

At the ranger station where we rested.

Continued with our journey where we headed towards the HSBC Tree Top Walk

Me on the bridge

Looking down =x
Aiyer..should look much scarier than this.

The bridge was a little shaky, but fun

Now you know why is it called the TREE TOP walk? Lol.

There was this auntie who was complaining about all the stairs. She said she prefers slopes. But when we got to the slopes, she complained about the slopes =.= Where got trek no stairs no slope one. How unadventurous.

Adjusting my bag..Zzzz. I totally HATE sling bags! Don’t care. Gonna just carry my usual shoulder bag next time =.=

My brother and I were saying that this resembles the well from The Ring..lol. When we were taking a peek inside, one of the trekkers said, “Why why? Mas Selemat inside ar?” LOL!

One of the steep slopes

Looking at the rare species fishes

Uneven stairs

I think this is the most difficult slope among all. It doesn’t look as easy as this. It’s actually much much steeper and gotta go under the branches.

Hi Bunkey!

Another resting spot before getting to Bukit Timah Hill. 2/3 of journey so far. Still…not VERY tiring.

I didn’t know bunkeys also give =.= faces (the one on left) =x

The remaining 1/3 journey was kinda easy. Walked down this long long road…

Then walked into Bukit Timah Hill..

My home! Hello my bee friends!

Learned a few new things from the other trekkers, cause they are mostly wildlife lovers.
This is the Red-eared slider aka Red-eared terrapin. And they really have red ears duh.

Walked through Bukit Timah Hill and that basically ended our whole trekking journey (:
The whole trek took about 4 hours. It was tiring, but not those that will make you pant like mad kind of tiredness. Nevertheless, it was a good exercise and adventurous experience

When I was climbing up those rocky steps/slopes and through the branches, I realised that time my Bukit Timah Hill trip was like NOTHING can =.=

THIS is more like trekking! And I’m loving it. So adventurous!

Shamelessly stole this from WJ’s sis’s blog..lol. Eh..I don’t know why is everyone complaining whenever they are being tagged. So fun to do this..Friendster bulletin got a lot =D

Was wondering if I should go to work today or not.

Supposedly 9am at tape store. But because I worked till kinda late last night, my nice supervisor decided to give me a day off today

Super nice right? Hee hee.

But I still thought of going. Cause I’m already working 5 days when the other editors are working 6 days, so it’s really not fair if I get another day off. Plus it’s tape store duty, so won’t be tiring anyway.

But was super exhausted when I dragged myself up at 11. I slept at like 4am last night lar. Zzzz.

Yea..so decided not to go in the end. Anyway tape store closes at like 5 or 6 =x

Stayed at home the whole day and watched Fated to Love You (命中注定我爱你).

Thanks to WJ for getting me addicted to this show =.= Watched 1 and a half ep yesterday, 5 and a half eps today! Lol.

Yea..really quite nice. Funny + sad + fairytale-like. But Taiwanese dramas are just soooo unrealistic. Cause in reality, the prince will only knock on the princess’s door. Where will knock on 平凡女子’s door =.=

Alright. Gonna continue with ep 8 now. Going to catch up with WJ soon..hahaha.
