JUMP!

It was a last-minute decision to go for this live comedy show, as I only booked the tickets 2 days b4 the show itself. After watching the JUMP! advertisment numerous times on TV, I thought it would be nice to bring Cher Hao along to catch this Korean performance, since he's so into Korean culture etc.

Thank God I managed to get 2 tickets at the cheapest category, yet at students' 10% discount. Haha! The view was superb, I almost thought we were given the wrong seating. LOL!

Rushed straight after afternoon church class yesterday, in the stupid heavy thunderstorm, w/o lunch and was drenched to the skin. It was worth it, given that it was an awesome performance by those talented and flexible performers!

Ever-smiling grandfather and handsome husband.

It was a wonderful Sunday afternoon, other than the crowds at City Hall and Suntec areas. We are kinda interested to watch more arts performances now, however it is the prices that always make us hesitant. Ha! Someone, bless us please!

Sydney Graduation Trip: Day 1-2

Well, this is few months overdue from my Sydney graduation trip, so I thought since I'm free today, why not pull in the best few pics I got in my album of 1200 pics =)

So here we go, a massive galore of lovely G'Day pictures and collages!!

Day 1: Off to Sydney!!

Arriving at Changi Airport Terminal 3 @ 2230; all ready for boarding!! -excited me!-
Inside boarding gate area! Must walk about 10 mins to our gate B9! Crazy terminal design!!!!
Inside B747 flight to Sydney via SQ222!
In-flight entertainment never upgrade, ever since the last time I took an SQ flight 9 years back =\
Snack time in the middle of the night =.= and Breakfast at 6am!

Sunrise in Australia =)
Various terrain types of the country! Lovely morning skies and deep waters!
Landed in Sydney International Airport!

Woohoo~ my butt was so sore, my legs were so cramped and were aching so badly! I need A380 Suite treatment!!

Photobucket
In the cab to our apartment.
The cab drivers here in Sydney need their trusty GPS although it is so darn lousy!! No1 seem to know the way very well =\
The fares are relatively more expensive than SG, so we should really stop complaining lah!
Photobucket
Interesting way of advertising DHL services =)

At Waldorf Apartments!
Our apartment for the next 10 days in Sydney!!
A decent 1-bedroom and living room, kitchen and balcony, like a standard HDB 2-room flat.
The rooftop and the autumn scenery from up there, is fantastic!!
Our daily breakfast is just cereal and coffee, for 10 days straight.

Walking down the streets of Chippendale, Sydney =)
Lovely cooling autumn weather. If only Singapore is like this every single day, this would be a perfect Singapore. Hahaha!

Day 2: Graduation Day! (the main purpose of the whole trip)

Sweet ol' campus buildings.

Photobucket
Proud father and daughter :D
Photobucket
The UTS apparels and souvenirs store. LOL!
We had quite alot to eat for dinner that day, since we were all frizzled out totally by the day's happenings. The food was sadly, not very yummy, given that it is HK and Macau style. Ha!

(NOOB & TOOT) Dinner with Jocelyn


Finally got to meet up with Jocelyn since her birthday last Sunday evening, after much last-minute nonsense. Did some catching up and tried our skills on our different Canon digital cameras.

I'm glad to announce that I reign supreme in this challenge, resulting to Joy falling in love with my camera too =) I told you I got good taste, higher price doesn't mean better picture quality okay :D

Collage done by Joy :)
My camera shows beautiful lighting and effects.....

Joy's camera: mediocre! HAHAHA!

We called the evening a NOOB & TOOT Night! As you can see, I was having bad hair day bcos I din blow my hair dry well enough. I look TOOT. Joy claimed her hair looked TOOT but it wasn't. Sadly she was a NOOB in photo-taking although she snapped more pics in her lifetime, as compared to me. LOL!

What a silly Sunday evening!

Happy Birthday to Amos Ang!

Happy 21st birthday to our dearest brother, AMOS ANG!!

You are finally a man =) Woo hoo!! You have grown so much!

You have been a great friend, confidant, pal and brother-in-Christ to me, for the past 3 years. Knowing you personally has been an interesting journey and I'm glad I'm a part of your life somehow too.

Being in your net has been wonderful, from net member to co-net leader and finally an independent net leader! Credits to you and Karina of course, ever so encouraging and edifying - that I must learn from you (but not the nagging please)!

Our previous net, with Charlie and Darren. At TM Starbucks (when Darren was caught on video for "picking" his nose!) LOL!

God bless you abundantly as you continue to do great things for the Lord and the youth ministry in VFC (for now). I'll be waiting for you at Young Adults soon! Continue to use your voice and guitar to worship and glorify Him too. Dun lose that passion and zeal for God even though you are busy training in the army, bcos He is gonna use you mightily whenever you go!

Be the light and the salt of this world!!


I seriously love this pics of "The Rose Amongst the Thorns"! Haha just kidding lah!! We just look so good in this pic, credits to Simon's camera and of course to my superb photo-taking skills. LOL! Oh, you can go become Coca Cola's spokeman lah!

Last but not least, have a blast on your big day today, big boy!

Pictures SOS!

HELP!!!!

Can someone teach me how to resize a hi-res picture into a small picture from Photobucket, to upload into Blogger? I've been fiddling for hours and I can't seem to get it right. Whenever I publish my entry, the pictures are crazily big and exceeds the blog allocated size. You gotta click on the pic to see the actual stuff in it.

Photobucket
Get what I mean??!
