(OOLOO place; deserted, scary? No la)
(only road to the beach, pic taken on the move)
Was last night a lively, busting with noise and excitment night for ya? Did ya carry lanterns and lit candles? Few years ago, my playmates and i would meet on this night to do that at the park and end up playing with just fire on the grass or marble stools. =)
Yesterday, i had a 'happening' night too.. CYCLING! (crowds' reply : boring..) This time was to the northeast end of our homeland - Punggol Beach, where we have a near view across the sea at our neighbour. Was relaxing over there, tiring back home..
Going off now, happy dinner time!

sam !! bet u haf fun yesterday ..
i din carry lanterns lor .. was sick yesterday .. fever .. =( but nvm la, coz my niece n nephew coming tis sat .. then can play fireworks wif them liao .. belated mooncake festival celebration .. haha ..
quizzy:
i oso heard e 烟火 sound from my house yesterday .. im going to play it tis sat wif my niece n nephew .. hehe ..
Was in class yesterday, didn't get to do much moon watching last night...but had some fun in my office. We have quite a big celebration here. With mooncakes and quizzes.
Punggol... remembered that I spent quite a qty of time there during my childhood period... when it was still filled with swamp. Still go there now once in a while. Do you know you can take boat from there to Pulau Ubin??
Mooncake/Lantern Festivals..used 2b exciting gatherings for neighbourhood youngsters to gather 2gether to play with colourful lanterns of diff shapes n fireworks n family members eating mooncakes, steamed mini yams .. with Chinese Tea ..looking at the full rounded moon up in the sky.. but not anymore.. what do the kids do nowadays?..
whoa sam, looks like u really blog almost everyday. haha.
hmm, i guess the place should look okay when u're there, jus tt it looks scary in the photo? haha.
nahh,no happening zhong qiu jie for me this year... din even see any lanterns or candles anywhere. cuz i din bother to look downstairs or go downstairs to look. was sleeping away at home... wish i had the time and jing shen to go and play~ but nope, too tired lah.
miss the times playing with candles and lanterns! rmb there was one year some kids played w candles and sparklers and ended up causing a small fire infront of our block. and then almost half the block came down in the middle of the night to extinguish the fire.
hope all had a happy zhong qiu jie thou...
and so amazing lah hor, i havent even caught sight of any mooncake in my house yet. =.= [think all in the fridge]
haha.
seriously my family don't celebrate mooncake/lantern festival de la. I only held the real lantern (not using battery de) once in my whole life yor. my parents don't allowed me to use the real one cos of fire. haha.
The only time I get to play with the real lantern is when I was in primary 5 I think. That was after a performance then the whole chinese dance group went strolling around the school with lantern...
haha don't be surprise. 我没有童年的 =D...
kampang days. the kids at my area will meet up with other kids then play lantern and fireworks together. and run around the whole block.... o.o so noisy...
haha =D
clarification. Of cos i played with battery de lanterns before la. And I can only play with that. If want to play with non-battery de, then I'm not allowed to have lighted candle in it. so my whole life i only played the real lantern (with the lighted candle) once lor. during a celebration in primary school. haha.
quizzy,
serious ah?! i dun eat mooncake w/o yolk de lorh... haha~ normal mooncake too sweet for me... cant stand sweet stuff~
anw, jus saw dasmond's blog... think berries tagged to ask him the timing for next fri? he replied about 4...
aiyo, miss playing with lantern leh. shd have bought some tt day. then can play at home. haha..

Hi Sam,
Having a very relax 中秋节 at Punggol Beach. Hope you have lots of fun last night. Wonder your 2 bros are also having a great time.
I don't have any celebration, only ate half a piece of the mooncake. I love the tradition type of mooncakes with egg-york. My mom haven't recover yet, hope she will get well very soon (my wish for this 中秋节).
I wanna go RP next Friday too, but heard Quizzy said the security guard very strict. Cos, I definitely don't look likes a Poly student. So, I worry if I cannot get in then I will be wasting my times & leave? Haiz...
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Please remember to call & SMS to vote for 适应 before 12noon tomorrow, we gonna try our very best to push 适应 to the TOP of the Chart this coming Sunday. Yeah...
Once again, wanna thanks those that have voted.
MLB & MLBians 加油,加油!

the road seems kinda really kong bu =X but if it's travelling down with some friends then i think it will be more of the shuang becuz of the tranquill bahh..
this year de mooncake festival kinda sian for me. dunno why too. too tired to enjoy, was happily slping away~ last time still got play with lanterns and candles but as we grow older all those seems to disappear.. why huh grow older liao then some things seems like 'cannot' do alrdy?
binz,
yeah loh.. as we grow older.. seem to lose our ����.. life gets more busy... gradually neglects alot of stuff... but i think its weird la, haha. las time young... keep liking those v kiddish stuff. then grow a lil older, start thinking those stuff v childish. at our age now, i miss doing those stuff again...
hmm, zhong qiu jie... reminds me of FIR's new song ������haha. poor faye had to carry a big 'moon' to her event tt day. lols. =P
oh ya hor. nic's birthday is coming soon. Sam's birthday coming too. also means meiyi's birthday coming soon le...heh heh =D
wish uncle's mum get well soon. Actually hor, shouldn't be a problem de ba. Just don't do things that make them want to catch u jiu can le ba. some security guard are strict. some can hack care. depends on ur luck le. but no worries about that.
uncle, actually there isn't one entrance only. but then must walk one big round. duno how to explain to u also. haha. never mind de la. no need to fake fake talk until very high. I don't know whether i will have time also. haha. Cos i understand in the midst of supporting mlb, i cannot neglect my work also.
Hope on that day I won't get too high until my presentation flop.
the security guards won't stay at entrance only. they have to stroll everywhere ba. i'm not too sure about that. but no worries ba =)
binz | 26 September, 2007 23:41
meikian: ya lor i seriously din understand how those ppl felt last time when they always say treasure it when u are still young. young that time wanna grow older then older liao wanna become young. all that pureness and sillness in us all runs away as we age. i seriously miss being childish!
uncle phil: haha fake fake talk until very high seems so dramatic. shld be safe to apply leave and go support bah i think. scarly u follow them ard then dasmond will catch and film u~
binz,
ya.. haha. like las time young like those cartoon... then abit older, maybe about p5 p6 start thinking those stuff v childish. then now i see all my frenx carrying cartoon pencil case n water bottles. haha... still best to be young la, so many things to enjoy~ =)
hmm, shd be safe to go bah... go there n act like u're from the mdc crew? hahaha.
hmm..ytd was jus like any normal day for me..stayed at home watched tv till midnite..haha..chao sianz de..
n today was an unlucky-turned-lucky day! almost lost 2 hps today..cos i conveniently placed e pouch containing e phones somewhr n totalli forgot abt it when i left..ran back hoping to find it when my cousin asked but it was gone! i tink i looked reali flustered den cos a lady came up n asked me 'looking for ur bag? i left it w e staff..' wow! thank god for kindhearted soul like tt lady tt i got e phones back! reali got to count my lucky stars.. =)) phew~ xia si wo le.. >.< anyway, my pt is kindhearted ppl do exist! happi happi.. =DD

yuanping,
Thank you very much. Ok, shall go and vote after this. But can we use the same name & email address eventhough we used different PCs?
binz,
I dun want to appear on tv. Already appeared in MLB's MV liao! That's good enough. Imagine if all karaoke pubs have this MV, then so pai-seh rite? Especially if your friends, colleagues or relatives saw you in the MV! Haha...
eeks! mk! stop suaning me lor..bleahz..i sent 10 coupons tis wk lei..if reali drop ar(touchwood) den u shall take charge of e coupons ar..hmpfh.. >.<
uncle phil, i'm not v sure abt e name n email add part cos e rules onli mentioned abt ip add..but to play safe, mayb use diff names n email add? tts wad i've been doing for e previous voting.. :)
binz | 27 September, 2007 02:39
weiqi seems to be very stressed out by his work load. hope he can manage and dun explode.. anw weiqi, i have ALWAYS looked at my homework and stone staring at it wondering how to start doing and maybe finish them. many times it's jux kinda impossible to finish. but jux do what is within ur limits and give them ur best shot!
ahh i also wan to watch ratatouille! but had been so busy and also broke so din manage to watch. hmph is it more worthed to rent the vcd to watch(abt $3) or to go to ulu cinemas with avg environment($5) to watch?
binz | 27 September, 2007 02:42
mlbian: im not too sure but i think if your internet connections for the different comps are from the same source, they should have the same ip address ba. perhaps u wan to on all 3 comps then check their ip addresses at this website ? then u will get ur answer(:
Hmm... when I ever felt that my work never finish? Always!!!
Worst part is during exam period, you can't even finish revising all the notes, and you have already forgotten what you had revised before!
Out of curiosity...weiqi, ever thinking of using MAC for work? Cos most of my graphic designer friends use MAC for their work... heard the graphic is nicer.
hi sam! celebrating & hving fun on mid-autum was like many many many... yrs... back....

hi weiqi! wow... u seems to b hving a tougher time wif ur homework huh... take care & jia you x 3!!!

Hi sam,
the photos contrast is nice. Esp the amber lights taken at night, most probably with using handphone right?
oh, by the way, there is a photographic rule that says when we take photo, we cannot tilt it at such an angle. Can take tilted photos but not at the 45 degrees angle cause it will not look nice. try tilting slightly more than or less than 45 degrees and see the difference!
Happy taking photos!
Bless you! ;D
hihi sam! LAst night was indeed busting with noise and excitement. Saw a lot of candles downstairs from my home. Keep hearing the 烟火 (if I didn't get the name wrong) sound. -_-!
But I didn't carry lanterns and lit candles la. People playing downstairs, I'm up here busying with work work and work =(.
haha. good that you had fun. hope nic and weiqi had fun elsewhere (if you guys didn't meet up last night) too?
