Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

i also try not to eat too much. but sometimes, i got so hungry that end up eating a lot and cannot digest.

nowadays, i will eat something before i go.

yah loh. if they start early, everyone can go home early.
 


hi alhana,
another reason why i dread sunday wedding dinner was the difficulty getting cab home. i was once stranded in orchard road, imagine at a busy road and i can't get a cab at all. i was so frustrated then.

if it were a saturday nite, i prob wun be in a hurry to go home.
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah, I know what u mean abt the transport. Its esp bad ard the Orchard Rd area, worse if its raining (weather v rainy these days). Luckily we managed to get a ride back n forth from my hubby's friend.

Actually I think wedding luncheons wld be more feasible. But it doesn't seem v popular in Singapore yeah? Nice to get up late, go for a wedding lunch n then still have the nite free to do whatever you want.
 
hi alhana,
i like wedding luncheons too. no need to sit with people you dun know at all.
lame.gif
i think it will take some time before it becomes popular in spore.

i ever experienced rainy weather after sunday weddings. that is the worst situation one could ever be in.

Hi Blossom,

Yay! Its Friday! And almost the start of my loooong weekend (I'll be leaving for BKK this Sunday and will only be back to work on Thurs) Looking fwd to the break.

May watch a movie tonite : Master & Commander. Haven't watched evening shows in a looong time. We usually catch the first screening on Sunday mornings to avoid the crowd..but since we're gonna be out of town this weekend, tot we'll catch the movie before we go.
 
hi alhana,
im glad that its friday too.
biggrin.gif


hope that you had a great trip. i also have colleagues going there. will the weather be slightly colder now?

wow, movie watching again?
happy.gif
i think other than LOTR, i dun think i will be watching any movies at the moment.
 
Hi Blossom,

Looks like I wun be watching the movie tonite..the evening shows all start at 6.30pm...I wun be able to make it in time. And I dun wanna wait for the 9pm show coz I wanna rush home to catch Survivor. Sigh.

Lotsa nice movies scheduled in Dec, so we'll definitely be spending a lot of time in the cinemas. Besides ROTK, we're also gonna watch Love Actually, School of Rock & Master & Commander. Also waiting for next yr's new Tom Cruise movie : The Last Samurai.
 
alhana,
i see. ya, survivor is at 10pm. i only watch once in a while. i watched the episode where the outcast came back. really amazing...

so many movies ahh.

Hi All,

Just to inform all ex-AHSians who visit the this thread that Huang Yinru lao shi passed away on Monday. She suffered from stomach cancer and had been stuggling with the disease for the past 1 year.
 
Apologies for getting back to you so late Chicory..

Wednesday was the last day of the wake. I couldnt't recognise her when i saw her. According to lao shi's classmate, she has been in great pain for the past one year....
 
How old was she btw? I still remember her chiding me for my hair length all those yrs ago. Its sad that she had to suffer such a painful disease. At least she's at peace now.
 
Hi Annie,

I heard the news on wednesday morning but cuz' the source also did not know when exactly. Later, heard from another classmate that she passed away on sunday, so been trying to find out details of her wake. But i found out the details only yesterday, abit too late
sad.gif
. Actually, she was one teacher i respect alot, she taught us Chinese in Sec 4. Really want to pay my last respects to her...
 
She passed away on Sunday, but word only got around on Monday. I saw Mr Moo when i was there , and Mrs Liang too, the A-maths teacher.

Although she did not teach me, she was the teacher-in-charge for the prefects and student councilors. I guess we all kinda 'hated' her in the past for so many of the ridiculous rules and regulations, but as i look back now, she was a very dedicated teacher whom somehow has made a lasting impression on me...

alhana, i don't know how old she is, but she must be in her mid-60s....
 
Yah, i guess those who don't know her well would think that she was very strict and fierce cuz' she always put on a very stern face. But once we really gotten to know her better, she wasn't really that fierce, in fact she smiled alot during classes. I think she was just acting fierce cuz' she had to as a disciplinary mistress.

But once she retired, alot of the rules are relaxed and i somehow feel that AHS is not the same anymore. Though i too used to grumble about those rules and regulations, i am one of those who sometimes got caught during spot checks... heheh... but now i actually feel proud of them. Strange!
 
although she was not my teacher but i remember there was once she stood in for one of my teachers. we were all very scared when we knew abt it. but she turned out to be quite ok. i guess chicory is right, being a disciplinary mistress does have to show a sterner face.
 
Hi Blossom,

It was ok. Ate alot of thai food n drank lotsa coconut juice, bought some clothes etc..the usual lah. My hubby bought q a number of tees and shirts as well. Hmm..think I'm gonna swear off BKK for awhile, seeing as I've been there 3x in less than half a yr :P I'm hoping to either take a beach vacation next yr, or a winter christmas one.
 
Hi Blossom,

Yup, I was q happy w the results. Can't stand Lill so was v happy tt she didn't win
happy.gif
So much better than Survivor Amazon when Jenna won...*puke*
 
alhana,
yah, sandra is more well-liked than lill. she was never voted throughout the show. im impressed.
biggrin.gif
so surprised that lill actually chose sandra instead of the guy.
 
Jon? Yeah, Lill's rationale was tt Jon didn't deserve to be in the final 2 as he's sneaky n a conniving liar. Also, she felt tt Sandra was like her...a mom who wld probably have more use of the prize money than Jon. Sometimes females tend to think w their hearts more than their heads
happy.gif
Ure right..its impressive tt Sandra has kept a clean slate throughout the competition. She's straightfwd, has gotten into loud arguments w her tribe mates etc...she's not under the radar like Darrah, and she still avoided a single vote. Not too bad at all!

I'm watching Return of the King tonite. V excited!
 
hi alhana,
i fully agree with you.
biggrin.gif


i watched return of the king already. very nice... legolas is soooooo cool.
proud.gif
the ending is very touching also....

merry christmas to you!
happy.gif
 
Hehe..we're watching ROTK again! Tmr at Cineleisure in the morning. Can't wait. Quite miffed tho..had wanted to watch it at Eng Wah, but when I chked the net, they only had a 5pm show listed tmr..and its sold out. So we bought tix at Cineleisure. But now, when I chked Eng Wah, they have alot of shows tmr, the earliest at 9.30am. SIGH. Was hoping to catch a morning show at Suntec. But since we've already bought tix at Cineleisure, no choice lor. Anyway, I do like Cineleisure's popcorn, and can do some last min christmas shopping tmr. My family will have our celebrations tmr nite...tonite will be w the in-laws.

Hey, u have a Very Merry Christmas too! And X'mas greetings to all AHS gals
happy.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah, its one of those movies which really warrant repeat viewing. Watching it again a second time, just a week later, didn't dampen the enjoyment one bit. Its still so good. can't wait for the DVD's release next yr! My hubby bought me The Silmarillion for Christmas. It gives more background on the history of middle earth, starting from the First Age (the Lord of the Rings happens ard the Third Age of Middle earth) and revolves ard the elves and their battle against Morgoth (Sauron was Morgoth's lieutenant then).

Didn't eat much during this christmas. But had yummy food nonetheless.
 
hi alhana,
can see that you really love the movie.
happy.gif


oh yah, got something to ask you. my hubby is looking for the dvd for the two towers. he realised that those he saw were code 1 dvd. we can only watch code 3. so does that mean that we cannot buy?? for fellowship of the ring, ours is code 3. maybe that one is the HK version.

i will try not to eat too much.
biggrin.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

If u wanna get code 3 DVDs, try places like Tower Records. They seem to stock more Code 3 DVDs than Code 1. But for the extended edition, I think they only have Code 1 DVDs available. The theatrical version, which was released earlier this yr, shld be available in both codes.

Our DVD player is a multi-code one, but I tend to prefer buying Code 1 discs. Are u sure ures is a code 3 player? Have u tried playing DVDs of other codes before?
 
hi alhana,
i see... so i can tell my hubby to stop searching for the code 1 version. we went to lotsa places.
lame.gif


i dunno whether my dvd player is multi-code one. we have never tried dvds of other codes before. let me ask my brother whether he has any for me to test.
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah, perhaps u guys have a multi-code player, but tot that it can only play Region 3 since u've nvr tried other codes. I tot most players sold in SG are multi-code ones, but maybe not. If ure player can only play code 3 DVDs, then Code 1 ones will not work. Dun waste ure money.
 
Hi Blossom,

He bought 'The Two Towers' DVD? Was it the extended edition? I'm sure you guys will enjoy the movie
happy.gif


Do u go visiting much during CNY? For me, we dun really go house to house visiting..will usually park ourselves in my aunt's place for the whole day...most pple will visit her place instead. Changed any pao money oredi?

Think we will watch The Last Samurai next wk..maybe on the second day of CNY. American Idol will debut next Thursday..shld be fun!
 
hi alhana,
yes, it is the extended version.
happy.gif


i always go visiting and eventually end up at my aunt's place where a lot of relatives too. but i am rather sick of such visiting.
lol.gif
 
My family is pretty close, so during CNY, we see the same old faces, unlike some who only see their relatives once a yr. Think we're pretty fortunate in that sense. CNY is like any old family gathering, just tt we get to wear new clothes n exchange ang paos n eat nonsense :P
 
hei hei... seems like i should be the oldest here... Me 35 this year, graduated in 1985. I am so happy to see ex GMSS here...

stay intouch...
