Fest La Vie was on the 29th and 30th of January, held at the Central Forum. It was a BLAST! as it was the first time I see a "bazaar" flooded with so many people. After 2 months of the painstaking planning process, the 2 days just zoom past so quickly that it ended before I could really feel that it actually happened. Though the entire planning and execution of the event was really draining, it was also great fun with the company of the FLV committee, especially my programmes cell with karen, dabai and cheonghua! I definitely enjoyed myself thoroughly, so much so that I had withdrawal symptoms after it.

The entire event was great! Exhibition side was very well-received! There were nice pushcarts for the vendors to sell all kinds of food that were not oftenly found in NUS. From kebabs to waffles to tako and fried ice-cream. My favourite has to be the waffles. My breakfast and lunch on the 2 days of FLV. Sad but they are really good.

I'm so glad that the auction took place smoothly with only minor hiccups here and there. My greatest fear had always been that there would be not many people and people do not participate enthusiastically. Luckily, everything was fine and the crowd was responsive. :D A big our auction hosts, Jeff and Austen, for the smooth auction as they are the ones up on stage who get the auction going and persuade people to bid and place higher bids! The other programmes were great too! Impressario was fantastic! Those contestants were really quite good and I think I'll go watch the finals! haha. Jasmine Tye and Paul Twohill could really draw crowd. From the time that they were doing their sound check, people were already coming in to wait for their performance to start! NTU band was great too! The female vocal was quite powerful. It's a pity I couldnt catch them on the 2nd day. Not forgetting voices and dhoppers from CAC, our own NUS performers who came down to perform at the event. :D

I love my wonderful programmes cell! Thanks for being such fun-loving, crazy and childish cellmates who simply can't stop banging each other, doing stupid things like tickling, calling nicknames, pinching and even meiya tie quan. And of cos, thanks for the hardwork put in for the 2 days that make the auction such a success! :D Programmes outing next wk!!! Think of where to go. (:

There are so many moments during the entire event that I want to remember for as long as I can, especially the classic guest of honour moment. Come to think about it now, I really missed FLV, despite the pathetic amount of sleep we have, the number of meals we skipped during the 2 days and the week before, the agony of ppl pulling out for performance, the hiccups faced, the mad rush of work during the 2 days. EVERYTHING. It's really rewarding and I would want to do another event like that again.

Programmes rox! FLV rox! PRU rox! (:

Surprise! I'm blogging again within such a short span of time! haha.

Mooncake party on friday was great fun! Lovely company at the esplanade! The only spoiler was the hazy weather.


That's us with our pretty lanterns! :D

Today was fun too! Met up with xinn, jasmine and hwee ngee at bugis to have beef noodles. YUM YUM! It's really good! Also, I hvnt seen them for sooo long. It's really good to catch up with them and know that they are all doing really fine. I'm meeting xinn and jas again tmr to go back SN for orange bowl, 肉丸面线 and ice tea! YAY! I miss SN food!

After that, went town to meet karen, minghui, giles and da bai. The guys actually wanted to shop, but in the end we ended up watching SCOOP at cine. It's a GOOD SHOW! A british comedy. Lots of dialogue. But it's really damn funny. Woody Allen is cute and Hugh Jackman is shuai! haha. OH and i must say. It's the first time i can catch those dialogues without subtitles. haha. Had fun!

Spend the entire day out again when i'm supposed to catch up on my work. I'm lagging behind maths lecture by 6 hrs! Lagging behind for a lot of things. I shld really stop being so slack!

Quite pissed abt some stuff. I hate hving to depend on someone for sth which I know how to do, yet I can't do cos I'm not allowed to do so. It just dont make sense. It's like someone set a premise that you can supposedly step into, and then after that keep you out of the premise. I wish I can just do things as I wish. It's a small matter. But i'm just unhappy about it.

I really can't stand MLE. The moment i take out the stupid textbook to read, I feel like sleeping, or will start stoning subconsciously. STUPID mle test tmr. Hope I can pass.

On a lighter note, there will be a mooncake party on friday with the usual gang. Even though I dun like mooncake, I think it's gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to it. :D Hvnt played with lanterns and candles for years alr.

Back to MLE... ZZZZZ

I should stop lazying around and start blogging! haha.

Orientation was 3 weeks ago and it was great fun! Had great company and some fun games. Helio even won best og! :D School started 2 weeks ago. So far it's been quite fun, but it's getting busier with tutorials starting this week. Oh man I hate tutorials! I've been late for lectures so frequently for the past 2 weeks such that no one expects me to be on time anymore. Shocked everyone when I reached school 15mins earlier today. waha. I was so happy to be early lah.

Went to visit hq at SGH today. He is hospitalised for stomachache but still does not know the cause of it yet. After talking for a while, we left the room after his mum was gone to go find a place with both an available powerpoint and wireless network for our dearest hq to do video conference on karen's laptop. Apparently there's only a place with wireless network at SGH which is at the polar cafe. The shop actually has an available powerpoint, yet they said they do not lend powerpoint to customers. So unfriendly lah. So we were like looking for powerpoints everywhere and testing if the place is near enough to tap the wireless connection from the polar cafe. We even went into a shop opposite polar cafe to borrow their powerpoint. That lady was v nice. Even though the shop was small and cram, she still lend us her powerpoint and let us do video conferencing in her small shop. In the end, we realised that we could not access to internet because we did not login to the connection, and not because the wireless network connection was weak, so we went to the lobby where we sat and video-conferenced for 3 hrs. haha.

It was quite fun walking arnd SGH like idiots and trying out every powerpoint even in the middle of a corridor. waha. And video-conferencing is fun! There are some very nice ppl at SGH and some really nasty one. Was really irritated by some of them. Ask me and karen where to find powerpoints, we can tell u where are all of them at block 6. We are experts alr. waha.

OH YAH!! GILES SHANZHI LIM is sooo stupid to actually believe that karen is hospitalised! waha. He even badmouthed me on msn without knowing that i'm there. YOU ARE SOOO DEAD!! haha.

Get well soon HQ. haha.

Finally, after a long month, the world cup finals will be played on monday morning - Italy vs France! It will definitely be an amazing match and I can't wait to watch it!

The Finals is going to be such a great showdown. It will not be an easy match for both Italy and France. Italy, though has unarguably the best defence in the world, lead by the best defender in the world, Cannavaro (I really think he's the best. He's my favourite player!), lacks in their strike team that consists of players who are not really in good forms. Hopefully, that has changed after the last match when Del Piero scored the second silver goal, and Gilardino's shot that almost went in but hit the bar. Besides, Italy has defensive players who can play offensively and even score goals, like Grosso and Zambrotta, and also a goalkeeper, Buffon, who hasn't conceded a goal to the opponent teams.

On the other hand, France has very spirited and determined players who have played very well in every single match after their first round, even though they are a graying team. They have a superb midfielder, Zidane (also one of my favourite player!), thrice the world player of the year, who is still playing like the best, despite being 34. Thuram is also a defender to look out for! He had played alongside with Cannavaro and Buffon in Parma, forming one of the best rearguards in the world. However, Henry is a player like Del Piero who performs at club level and not on the international playing ground. Furthermore, Barthez's goalkeeping can still be eccentric at times. He has shown it during the last match with Portugal.

The last 2 international matches played between the two teams during France'98 and Euro'00 ended up in Italy's defeat after the penalty shoot-outs. The French team may still be almost the same, but Italy has become a different one. I'm really excited to find out how will the match in 10 july turn out to be! A battle between my two favourite players. WAHA!

Hopefully, the champions will be Italy! I really want to see Cannavaro lift the world cup trophy on his 100th cap and probably the last world cup that he played.


This will be the winning squad of Germany 2006!

God bless Italy.
