seems like everyone that's contributing to this blog has been contributing except for me.
maybe a short introduction on who i am.
Vernon's my brother.
and as mentioned in the previous posts,
my current location is in Beijing doing my attachment.
and how time flies.
i would be back at home the next saturday.
for the past 5 saturdays that i have spent here in Beijing,
the school brought the 44 of us (who came over) to the various sight seeing places.
i've climbed the great wall,
went to the heavenly temple,
and to the forbidden city,
798 arts centre,
etc..
what a sight!
*pictures of my trip could be found in my facebook, see if you can find me*
coming over for this trip made me realise how fortunate we are, to be living in singapore.
maybe i'll learn to cherish more when i get back.
and weeeeeeee!
another 5 more days and i'll be back!
would be reaching singapore at ard 6pm in the evening.
anyone picking me up?
and one more thing,
Next Saturday is the QuarterFinals for KOnight2.
time:7 pm
venue: SMU ACC
admission free!
KO night is a 2v2 dance battle organised by O school
It's all about freestyle, musicality and teamwork.
and that's my next saturday.

A Journey back to 10 years back.
As the title says, it seems that I had entered into a time warp ( thats the causeway) and landed 10 years back. My first ever trip to JB kinda make me feel like i've entered into the old singapore. With the shopping centers and old age cars around, it led me to think and appreciate the fact that singapore had grew so much and so fast that we've become what we are today..
My trip to JB this sat had been one full of small small pleasant memories. It started with me being the total clueless guy trying to make sure everything is there and nothing goes wrong.
The plan was to stay over at someone's house so that everyone won't be late and be on time. It was also for the 4 of us to gather and meet again since its been sometime since we went out together again. The moment I reached Kailing'Jie's house, I had the familiar Rinko and Kookie barking at the door. So familiar , it seems that it was yesterday when we met. Played games and slept late, and being woken up by Rinko's lick.
Rise and shine. Soon, we reached the causeway, and into the singapore 10 years ago.
There we had a taste of weird weird chicken wings, weird weird pastas and also our favourite KBOX singing. I see the sources of KL jie's BIG BIG collection of magnets, a shop that sells them cheap , wondering when her collection would be full.
After the whole day, we had this very big dinner somewhere ( i forgot where). quite some feast!
Crossing the timewarp, we reach safely back to singapore around 10+ , and i came to ponder what should i do the NExt Saturday!
PS. Going back was funny, cause it seems that i am always the last one out of the customs and the one to be checked. Missed the bus cause of this and we had to wait sometime for the next one. I see this as experience, the next time, when this happen when I am alone, at least i won't panic! haha.
Pics might be or might not be out depending on QC. :)

Saturday at Work
Vernon ask me to contribute to his blog, "The Next Saturday". But I usually work on saturday... So why not blog about work? Haha... I work at Sizzler on casual employment (sad to say... the work is anything but casual...) as a dishwasher... My duties includes *drumroll please!* washing dishes! And washing the dishwashing machine, the floor, the backlane, the type of washing my mum would like me to do at home too (but I rather not... =x)...
Timestamp always wrong 1... I start work at 1815 hours... Before the crowd come in and destroy us! The resturant closes at 9, but work stops much later...
Ali and I. Ali is my fellow dishwasher... He, like me is studying in Perth... He's from India... He get kinda pushy during work... But after work he's a great guy... Work is work... We all work hard... All your dishes are cleaned by us! =x
Either my head is damn big... Or his is damn small... I wonder which is which...
Work ends at 11pm today... Which means I worked for around 4 hours and 45 minutes... In other words... I got extra money to spend!
The dark unlit route I walk home by...
More dark unlit route...
Post-work meal... I have Macca's about 3 times a week... Which is more then the average person... HAHAHA! But I'm slim... Really... See photo above!
You can find more lack of adventure of Yimian in Perth at ayearwithoutlaksa! Spam Spam Spam! =X
