Keith

On 8th March 2008, our GESL group from NIE worked together with the volunteers from Make-a-Wish foundation, fulfilled a young boy's wish of having an electronic mechanical bed, and a trip to the zoo. This boy's name is Keith. I finally receive the photos and videos and therefore would like to share that special day with you.

The star that the 'Home team' bought to decorate the house with. They came earlier to decorate the house when the 'Wish team' was out at the zoo with Keith.

The spread of food that the family prepared/bought. It includes Keith's favorite food which is KFC.

Keith loves super-heroes and therefore his room was specially decorated in that theme. We also bought him a Spider-man poster to frame in his room!

Keith! After his surprise.

Keith's family and us crowding outside his room when he revealed his 'surprise gift', which was of course his bed.

With his super excited and hyper younger brother.

Me giving his brother a present. His sister also got a present but dunno why i never take picture with her...haha

Debbie, the volunteer from Make-a-wish. Keith's wish would be her last volunteer job as she is flying to South Africa with her husband. She is from Denmark...a wonderful wonderful lady.

AFA show at PLAY

Last night, we went down to PLAY to support Sammizhen 's AFA show, and as usual, being camera whores, we took pictures and videos of that night...

Ken and Sammizhen backstage... it was my first time backstage at PLAY...haha...Daniel bought choya for Chris so he asked us to go backstage to drink the choya..keke...

Me and Chris

Fierce Turandot look..haha... either that or Lao Lao from 'A Chinese Ghost Story'

Ok this must be Lao Lao prior in engulfing her prey...think she'll be pretty full after this

Daniel in his new Uniqlo outfit...

After partying and dancing (its been so long since i danced), we proceeded to Tantric for a second round of drinks...

Another cake

Hopefully its the last... diet diet

Another module down

Today was the last lesson for Prof Hoh... our Biology 1 tutor whom we all didn't really like in the beginning. He had a way of speaking and a way of doing things... very JC like if you must say. However, we realized that that was just his technique of classroom management. After warming up to us (and we to him), we realized that he is a very good tutor... he provided us with so many materials and resources to use in school in the future. These 2 pictures were taken with my biology classmates after his final lesson... guess i won't be seeing much of them too after this month as all the biology classes end this semester. Next semester will be practicum and after we come back to NIE in September, there will only be math and another elective module... well... will miss you guys (those that i know personally...keke... ).

Prof Hoh is the one looking lost in blue beside Elvin, the one in green on the extreme left.

25/00 Class outing

We had our JC class gathering again... since the guys at NTU had finally finished their exams. As with the tradition of 25/00, not everyone will turn up for the gathering. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant called

With the price, i do not find the food worth it...i've tasted much better japanese food and they cost less than what they're charging me with here.

Alana with me

Teresa's wierd dish, which comprised of rice with green tea.

Alana's unagi rice... think Xian Xi tried unagi for the first time as he was commenting on why the skin of the unagi at the bottom was black. He asked was it burnt. We stared with disbelief.

Fried Shitake mushrooms

Salmon cutlet

Teresa and I

Same as above

Teresa, me and Alana

After dinner, we proceeded to an Italian restaurant for dessert..its called

Teresa recommended the place because apparently the cakes are half-priced after 9pm or something, however when we went there, they said it was at 930pm and that it had to be take away. Well, since we were already there might as well...

Siqing looking at the cakes

The girls of 25/00 (incomplete)

All of us (those that came)

Each of us ended up ordering a cake to share, and i ordered another cup of classic hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was soooo good, i don't really mind going back there again. As for the cakes, i think that its a rather interesting and good mix of classics and non-classics (curry cake??), however with a price of about $9 per cake, i would rather buy from Gastronomia.

It was a rather fun night, a night of catching up with each other and having expensive food (spent $40 for that night). Hopefully we'll catch up soon...
