LDX Sports Day


Hmm, all i can say is that Life has been really good while our boss is away. Not that we stopped working.. just that we worked less hard, felt more at ease to play during our free time and stop pretending to work hard when we had actually finished (like crowding around lab benches to chit chat, fill tips, make more buffers than we already have..) Hmm life is good when we dun have to pretend. Ha So yesterday we sort of have an impromptu LDX Sports Day during tea time. Somehow, everyone seems very free...Hmmmz..

Ha anyway, true to the "nerdy, sedentary" image people have of researchers, Hui and her neighbour aka the self professed "The Charming One" went ahead to play pool. (Hey pool also a sport k, walk around the table so many times also tiring hor..) while the more sporty ones like Chen Guang, MY, XiaoHan and Selina (Gasps... even Selina was there) was engaged with their table tennis tournament of sort. Of cos not we didnt forget to include our cheerleading team which comprised of Siti, Benson, Ronghua (See, i told you! almost the whole lab was there!)

Ha wish we have more good times like these.. Albeit, good things never last long in life... Boss coming back and as i typed this, i mourned for the last hours of freedom, happiness and laughter during his absence.. =P

The K-Box Saga


Its been a few days since our ktv trip, haven't got the time to post anything but this event is so important, that I have to do it days after, even though its past.

On that day, 3 of us Felicia, Hui hui and myself took a half day off to go shopping. Managed to get felicia to spend some bucks before her big day hee...and then we went for a super short dinner at Mc Donalds @ PS (when xiao xing, selina, benson and huihui's friend joined in), and headed towards Paradiz Centre..

When we were there, we were greeted with a bad surprise that we could only sing until 10.30pm..the person offered to extend it till 11pm for us but we felt so cheated. $21+++ for only 3 hours? Thats ridiculous, not even if its extended to 11pm. We were all under the impression that we could sing till 3 a.m., not just 3 hours. And so we left.

We didn't know numbers of other ktvs and engaged Jong's help (really feel bad coz he's real busy preparing for the wedding). Finally we managed to find a spare room at Partyworld Cuppage..so the 3 of us, Selina, Xiao xing and me walked real fast in order to get there asap...leavin benson with the other two girls hee.

Little did we expect there would be a change of plans and we got a call from Huihui as we crossed the road to reach Meridien..that we're going to head down to chinatown instead..the room at cuppage is gone! After walking so fast to where we were, we had to walk back the same speed as when we came. And we finally regrouped and just nice, saw bus 124 which took us to Chinatown (luckily its the right direction).

All was well and we finally managed to settle down in the ktv, to catch some breath. Took some videos of Benson at his first song..hehehe..you shd know why we did that and we managed to sing for 4 hours, with two plates of fruits and some tidbits..in total..each of us paid only 22 dollars for 4 hrs..thats way cheaper than K-box that crappy place.

As for the group photo, it will be uploaded later..when I have the time hehehehe..
