Apparently those with ample internet access have neglected the blog. Tony lol.

Debbie and I are back sooooon! June 12! We are both are sooo ready to come home =) I'm done with living out of a suitcase and have ants crawl out of my keyboard. Yay! Debbie and I are currently in Brunei, though we haven't seen each other since Singapore lol We talk to each other over the phone sometimes, but I'm pretty sure Debbie avoids calling me because she's afraid of my grandma picking up again LOL.


Anyways, I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Brunei =) I can't seem to upload any pictures, so I'll just do it when I get home. The Brunei heat is damn excruitiating but the copious amounts of chicken rice + chilli (hold the chicken), milo ping, and jackfruit was well worth it.

Damn a huge bee-monster just flew in. ttyl.

hey just a quick one to say bye to everyone, and thanks for following the blog! i'm currently in tokyo heading to seoul (where hung is right now) next week. my friends are sleeping since we got home at like 7am so i have some time to do a last blog =(

it was nice to see everyone once again in singapore before i left, had some really good memories and fun times, and never would have thought that i would actually miss a place that i thought would be some small rural farm town with dirt roads (singapore), but i really do, and for my friends at home, prepare yourselfs, im going to be talking about singapore for ever.

anyways, i dont know what else to say other then hung hope you had fun in seoul and have a safe flight home (i am a little envious since i want to go home so bad), Chai have fun with the jungles, dont get lost okay?!, and Debbie is MIA since no one has heard from her but i hear she is in Miri, hope you have fun! dont get into arguments with random people since im not there!

Goodbye everyone, i hope you enjoyed our blog, and who knows maybe we can continue with a Edmonton blog.

HA who i am kidding its going to consist of : "ah i need to work again" "ah edmonton is so boring" "ah i want chicken rice"

Sayonara douche bags. (Jk i love you all)

OH and yes i do miss the other 3, i seriously have moments in which i would think that i would be having so much more fun if they were here. =( .

Chai left today, we woke up and went for breakfast, which we probably only had like 3 times this whole trip and then went back to grab her bags and sent her off. Tony comes back to Singapore today, I believe he has arrived and is just on his way back to campus.

Just as a quick update, the last week we went to the theatre to watch 17 again, which was cute, I enjoyed it, though some parts were kind of weird. Everytime we've been to a movie here it was at Jurong Point, but for this one we went to Lot 1 and discovered the chairs are so much more comfy in that theatre.

Oh Chai's family was here as well and we hung out with them for a bit. on Saturday they came to campus and walked around, then at night we went to Wala Wala one last time. Different singer that day but still good. That night it rained like crazy, we were on our way home in the cab and the rain was coming down so hard that you couldn't even see but the driver was still going 80!! Speaking of rain, I hate it.

Sunday I think we went toVivo City, and then Chai left to go eat dinner with her family while Hung & I ate at Carls Jr...it was delicious. Then at night and we had a movie night with Hung & Jimin at the guys' dorm- we watched Slumdog Millionaire- good but too hyped up. On Monday we went to Pulau Ubin, biked around and then chilled at Tampines Mall for a bit to grab something to eat and played at the arcade. Then we went back to campus to wash up and went for dinner at Sakae Sushi with Chai's sister and Sean, and after dinner we went to Staff Club.

Tuesday, Chai & I spent the whole day packing and realized that we brought a lot of unnecessary things from home. It took awhile, but I think we are both within the weight limit for our luggages, hopefully. That night we went to Pho Hoa at Holland for Sean's birthday then went back to Chai's Aunt's place for a bit. After that we went to ADM to meet/say goodbye to some exchange students and had another movie night, The Classic- a Korean movie that the guys really liked but not so much the girls.

And that's about it. I'm at the guys' room right now, Hung & Jimin are packing. I'm eating McDonalds and Tony is on his way back. I'm leaving tomorrow morning to KL, where I will be meeting up with Donna then we're flying to Miri together. I'll be staying with my godfamily for a bit and then go to Brunei.

I can't believe we're all leaving Singapore already, it took us more than a year to plan and it went by so fast. And ditto to what Chai said, "What happens in Singapore, stays in Singapore" .. well most of it anyway.

This will be my last post from Singapore =( I'll be leaving for Brunei tomorow!

Debbie and I "finished" packing today and i think our luggage is overweight. Too much shopping is bad. I wanted to puke on my luggage because I was hoping my stomach acid would disintegrate some of my belongings and make my luggage lighter. Too bad i'm not too good at inducing vomit lol.

So as we are listening to Rain's "love story" and other k-pop (gee gee gee gee gee!), packing, sweating, eating chicken rice + mixed rice, drinking milo ping + iced-teh-c, Debbie and I are talking about our first days here at NTU. We wanted to go home on our first day (well i did haha), and now...i never want to go home. Unfortunately if I don't leave, i'm sure the singapore "gowerment" will come after me!
Hmm...you guys are probably wondering how many fights and incidents have occured since we've been here...well, what happens in Singapore, will stay in Singapore. Despite it all, I love you guys =)
<3
I honestly don't know if I will have internet access, so I'll try to update when I can!

We're all finally done with school here :) well the other 3 have been done for awhile, I was the last one to finish.

So in celebration of Tony's last day in Singapore we went out for ladies night to Zirca on Wednesday, which I personally didn't like too much, and Rebel, which is connected to Zirca (all these clubs are connected to another one) and was SO much better. By the way, the guys had to pay $15 cover which is pretty good and got 2 free drinks, while us girls got in for free and got 5 free drinks :) the guys ended up ordering bottle service and it was a funfilled dramatic night which should be one to remember. Oh before that, we went to dinner at Fisherman's Whorf, I think that was the name, and we all got fish & chips. We also met 4 Singaporeans who are going to UofA on an exchange! They're sort of like us, 2 guys 2 girls.. though apparently the UofA exchange office isn't as friendly as the NTU one was to us, but I hope the whole registering process ends up well and we'll be sure to help out too.

The day after (Thursday), Chai & I woke up afternoon while the guys' woke up at 5pm... so we just chilled the whole day and went over to the guys' dorm for a bit. Then went to meet another exchange student, Aneesh, since he was leaving soon and it ended up being a late night.
Today we had to wake up early and went for chicken rice lunch (Chai had noodles) at Yishun (?) with Jimin, Sauman & Charles before sending Tony off to Hong Kong where he will be meeting my godsisters- Doris & Donna! Sauman must think we're so tardy because everytime we are suppose to meet up we are late... sorry :( lol and it was sad saying goodbye.. not to Tony, but Sauman & Charles. haha if you guys ever come to Canada, you know where to find us :)

Me & Chai packed our "gifts" luggage, which is also the luggage that is staying in Singapore while we are off to Brunei and Malaysia, and while I think mines is still under the weight limit, I think Chai's might be a little over, but hopefully we'll get it to balance between the two luggages when we come back from our vacation. I think we're also one of the only ones left on our floor, everyone has moved out and went back home already.. it's so quiet now, but that means cleaner washrooms for us AND more vacant washing machines! Chai's family is arriving tomorrow so that should be fun :) I'll be seeing my parents at the end of May which is exciting too :)

oh and here are some ACTUAL pictures from what Chai was blogging about... none of this paint stuff =P


Our last in Singapore as a Unit :(


Bye bye Tonette. Have fun in HK... we will miss you...... (some more than others haha) <3

..HAHAAHAAA
best drawings ever.

Chai-Ying

ughhh debbie and i went to eat today, and i had this tuna thing. i think i'm having some weird reaction to it because my face feels realllllllly warm and its realllly red. i look like i'm sunburnt or something. crap. this is like the time I was in Italy and I had that easter cake thing and my face and ears went red instantaneously. To combat this, i have wrapped my head and face in a cold towel, hopefully that will help. On the bright side, I look like a mummy!!! =) On the down side, I'm a little early for Halloween. =(

okay so back to filling ya'll in on our singaporean adventure. Friday was the last of exams for Hung and myself, and I guess Hung thought it would be funny to go into my room and scare me when I got home. Hung walked into our room and Debbie happened to be in the washroom, so I guess he was just chilling out on her bed. She walks in and doesn't even notice him...Hung goes "BOO!" and (apparently) Debbie flipped out. Here is my artistic rendition of waht happened:

hahahah.

I was lollygagging after my exam and went to get an ice-blended mango drink to reward myself for all my hardwork this semester (HAHAHHAH), and I guess Hung got tired of waiting to scare his second victim, and got Debbie to call me to see where I was. Epic fail.

Oh to backtrack a little: the night before my exam, Debbie asks me (or I thought she asked me) if I wanted to go for Sushi after my exam. I thought it was a good idea and agreed, I thought we were going to go to Sakae Sushi on campus and was telling her we should get those cute little salmon sashimi things cause they are sooo good. This was Debbies reaction:

Apparently she said "Shisha"
(Shisha = Hookah).

So that night, we went to this super pricy Persian restaurant in Clarke Quay to experiment with some Shisha. After a delicious meal of various types of meat and okra, we migrated to the "front patio" of the restaurant to start. I think we got an Apple flavoured one, everyone else seems to think it was Apple Cinnamon. It was only about $20, so it wasn't too bad. AND we got to watch some realllly awesome belly dancing/sword dancing/dancing on chair business. (SOMEONE demonstrated his belly dancing skills at the club later on...) Hung and Tony got the hang of Shisha really quickly, but it took Debbie and myself a little while to learn how to do it properly. We were total noobs, as everyone else that was doing it was so pro. But we finally got the hang of it! Sorry guys, I don't have any pictures but here's another artistic rendition of Debbie doing some Shisha:

Shisha.

Hmm so after that, we went to meet some friends at a popular club down by Vivo City (kinda by Sentosa) called St. James Powerhouse. Apparently the place has 9 bars that are connected. Neat hmm?! We stayed at the main club for the majority of the time because we had no idea there were 8 other bars until we went exploring! Haha. The place had good music to begin with and then lots of Tony-music to follow...it was alright. HAHA Oh man, there was this one guy that was sooo...out there. HAHA he was soo out of it and was dancing all over the place.

Hmm what else what else, Tony spilled beer on me TWICE. Hmm what else....oh! Tony and Jimin got on a platform and started dancing with a bunch of girls, but were asked to come down because the platforms are apparently strictly for girls. Good effort though.

Oh! There was a super awesome Mexican style club(as per Tony) that we finally got into. Well it was more of a problem for the guys, the age to get in for guys was 23 and for girls 21*. In the end, the guys just ended up walking past the bouncer dude. Sketch lol. We saw a lot of the NTU kids that we knew and had a blast! That particular place had really good music too! I would like to put it out there that whenever we hear a Bollywood type song, we always pretend we know it and go nuts. For what reason, I have no idea.

We finally left the club, and by the time we got home and got settled it was about 5! The guys had to get up early and catch their flight to KL, so they had to leave at about 8. I wonder if they got any sleep =/

So come Saturday, the boys left for KL early in the morning and Debbie and I went to the mall to look for a new pair of glasses for myself. My glasses broke earlier in the week for whatever reason, ugh. I have been wearing contacts all week, I don't know how you contact-wearers do it. Anyways, I got a pair and they will be ready Tuesday =)

As you guys can tell, I have no pictures from Friday night because they are all in KL with Hung. So...I hope you enjoyed my awesome pictures that I drew on Paint. HAHA

P.S. I love you Debbie, don't be mad =) HAHA.
