I'm back!!

I’m back!

I reached hot and humid Singapore on Monday morning and ate Wanton mee in the airport before coming home. The Perth trip was great and I really enjoyed myself there. I took 1000 + photos there and will post them up soon =)

Some things that happened during the week I went missing …

1) I received my degree in Perth

2) Got to know a guy named Kenny (Donald’s gf’s cousin) in Perth who brought us around. Great guy.

More on him and my trip next time.

3) I gained weight due to Kantang (potato) overload

4) I didn’t sweat at all in Perth despite walking under the sun most of the time. My feet hurt though.

My new cheapo boots are not made for walking …. long distances.

5) Realized that my new camera’s battery life is not that fantastic. Extra battery needed for long days.


6) My beloved Newcastle United lost a match, won 1 and lost again (yesterday). They are currently second in the table!!


7) I didn’t attend the Singapore Blog Awards due to my Perth convocation/holiday trip and as expected didn’t win.

Jasmine went with boyfriend to the event on my behalf and took lots of pics there. I will upload them once I manage to get the pics from her. Congratulations to all the winners, especially Ms Chor Lor who once gave me winning 4D numbers. =P (To see the winners click here)

8) Lucky I didn’t miss the Singapore Idol top 13 spectaculars as it was not shown last week.

Singapore Idol is on today though and I will definitely be watching it and rooting for my favourites, Mae Sta and Syltra Lee. Just found out that MJ Kwok is gone and cute 7 eleven girl Nurul replaced him.

9) Got someone to remove a dunno what insect hive outside my house.

For people like me who stay in HDB flats and have hives outside their houses, call your local Town Council for assistance. It’s fast and free =) Thank you Pest Control.

10) I went to Timbre @ Arts House for my sister and classmates after exams celebrations.

Went to Movida at St James after Timbre and saw lots of Ferraris along the way and outside the club. I didn’t bring my camera along, damn wasted sia. We used Wayne’s phone to take some pics as my iPhone cam sucks. Hope to get the pics from him soon. =)

Stuff I will be blogging about very soon …

1) A 7 part series about my Perth holiday! Lots of pics will be uploaded but do not expect to see 1000+ photos he he

2) Part C1 of my 7 part End of School Life Special

3) Misc here and there stuff

I don’t think I will be blogging about my “Expert” Singapore Idol predictions anymore. Feeling a little lazy =P. I will be giving my predictions on my Facebook and Twitter instead. For those who want to see if I’m right or wrong and scold me for my wrong predictions, you can add me he he. Cheers.

1st part of the Perth Holiday series coming soon!

Going on a 1 week holiday. Desitination Perth

Bye bye Singapore! Boliaosia.com will be taking a 1 week break without any posts. I will be going on a 1 week holiday (14 Sept to 21 Sept) to Perth Australia! It’s actually a holiday/convocation trip and it will be the last week I get to enjoy myself before starting the process of job hunting when I come back. Although I have been to many countries in the past when I was young, this is actually my first time venturing out of Singapore in 10 years!! Yup, I never even go to Malaysia sia. I feel like a frog in the well.

Preparations are more or less than and I will be flying off in a few hours time. I bought Jetstar tickets to save cost but found after I bought the tickets that SIA had a new promotion which is only slightly more than Jetstar … Suay sia. It’s around 1 hundred bucks more nia. Okay lah, at least I can use the hundred bucks to buy more stuff (trying to think positively).

I bought a new camera for this trip yesterday at Comex. Shawn and I went in the last hour to see if there are any last minute good deals. Some people call it kio sai (pick up shit). It seems like that were a lot of people just like us who wanted to kio sai as it was hard for Shawn to get a parking lot. After twisting and turning around the car park for quite some time, we eventually got a parking lot and went to buy our stuff. Shawn bought a LG 42 inch TV and I bought the Fujifilm F200 EXR. I chose the camera after reading lots of good reviews about it and it was within my budget (okay stretch a bit and need to borrow he he). I’m just a simple point-n-click guy who needs a good idiot proof camera. =)

Here are some pics of my old and new camera …

Pic of my old cam (actually my sister’s) taken by my iPhone

lousy iPhone cam does not work well in this lighting =P

Pic of my new cam taken by my old cam


This is how my new camera looks like. I think it looks good =) I like the feel of it.

Pic of a Nikon D90 (ar $2k!!) in right in front of me in my house

Shot taken with my new camera. I think it looks good, considering that it is the first time that I'm using it. Idiot proof check - PASS!

Although I have a really nice DSLR camera right in front of me, I can’t use it heh. It belongs to my cousin in Australia and I’m supposed to pass it to her when I’m there. I don’t know how to use it anyway heh. Too cheem lah. I might get one in the future though, provided I have the money and skills.

Okay got to go bathe soon and head for the airport. Boliaosia.com will be back around the 22nd of September or a little later!!

See ya guys =)

P.S: Because of my convocation, I can’t attend the Singapore Blog Awards ceremony =( My friend Jasmine and her boyfriend will be going to the event on my behalf instead. Hope they take lots of pictures of the event and maybe pictures of the model bloggers too =P

Last Day of School

On Monday, I had my last exams of my life, which officially marked the end of my days as a student (should be able to pass the exams heh). It was a bittersweet moment for me. I was happy that I would not have to take any exams again, and go through the process of squeezing tons of information into this puny head of mine. However, I’m sure I will miss lots of stuff in school. The thing that I will miss most in school will definitely be rushing group projects together with my group mates. As a marketing student, my poly and Uni days are filled with project deadlines every semester. I don’t remember any subject without a project to complete! Woo hoo! I love doing projects and I hope projects in real life will be as fun, something which I highly doubt heh. I don’t mind working late hours completing project though, erm actually I think it’s kind of fun.

*Sean is a self-confessed project addict. ^_^

Besides projects and the things I mentioned on my “no more exams!!” post, these are some other things I would miss in school.

Still in the graduating mood while waiting for the actual graduating ceremony in September, I made this poem with real songs found in the Nokia Music Store (Singapore) for my Nuffnang-Nokia blogging contest. They really have a massive collection of songs there that I can choose from, which made the composing of my awesome poem much easier.

Going out with my friends later today for my second round of post exams celebration! Kbox buffet (buffet again?!!) and St James here I come!! May take some pictures and post them together with the ones I took on Monday at Hanabi and Mindcafe. This should be the final waistline damaging activity I will be engaging before I start my jogging routine (I realize I keep saying this lol).

Those lucky Nokia Comes with Music handset owners get a whole year of free unlimited music downloads that they can keep forever!! I envy them.
