			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.worldvision.org.sg/" target="_blank">Worldvision Singapore</a>&#8216;s annual <a href="http://30hourfamine.org.sg/" target="_blank">30 Hour Famine</a> event ended last Saturday. This is an annual event which takes place in Australia, Canada, Holland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, UK and USA. Youths participate in this event to experience the hunger and starvation of less privileged countries as well as be exposed to poverty that exist around the world. Through this event, Worldvision aims to raise S$100,000 to help children and their families overcome poverty and achieve their dreams.</p>
<p>My very benevolent friend (who is also a very talented singer) Crystal took part in the event and even performed on an empty stomach for the Finale Concert held at *SCAPE. A bunch of us went to support her at the finale concert.</p>
<p><img src="http://lala.sg/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/20100605a.jpg" alt="" title="20100605a" width="500" height="422" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1167" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s very heartening to know that even though youths in Singapore took part in the event due to CIP requirements, they chose to participate in this event instead of other less gruelling ones. While out in town on Tuesday, I overheard a group of teenagers still discussing the event. :)</p>
<p><img src="http://lala.sg/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/20100605b.jpg" alt="" title="20100605b" width="500" height="281" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1168" /></p>
<p>Worldvision is collecting funds until end July 2010. If you are interested to support this event, on <a href="http://30hourfamine.org.sg/OnlinePledge.aspx" target="_blank">this page</a>, you can make a general donation, or choose to donate in support of one of the campers.</p>

<p>Ah Bit stopped eating his usual Oxbow pellets one day and lost a lot of weight. A check with the vet showed that there&#8217;s nothing wrong with him physically, so it&#8217;s most prob selective feeding. Had to feed him some pellet slush and probiotics before I bought the vet-recommended brand of pellets. I&#8217;m currently feeding him <a href="http://www.thebusybarn.com.sg/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&#038;productId=364" target="_blank">Burgess Excel Rabbit Mature Cranberry &#038; Ginseng</a>, which claims to prevent selective feeding, also it&#8217;s catered to rabbits that are older than 5 years (Plus! It has Ginseng inside! Stupid Ah Bit is so pampered la).</p>
<p>When we change rabbit feed, we&#8217;re supposed to change it gradually so as not to upset the rabbit&#8217;s digestive system as well as to prevent the rabbit from refusing the new feed. In this instance, I couldn&#8217;t do a gradual switch cos Ah Bit has stopped eating his Oxbow pellets. Ah Bit is usually picky about his pellets, but he ate these the moment I put them in his bowl. :)</p>
<p>Friday night out with my Universe. Nu and I bought dinner at Sushi Tei for our double celebration, and we watched Ip Man after. I found it too cruel and a little forced. I much preferred the prequel.</p>
<p>My brother and I now have brother sister iPod Nanos and FMJs (mine in <a href="http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/fmj-chrome.html" target="_blank">chrome</a>, his in <a href="http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/fmj-black.html" target="_blank">black</a>). He&#8217;s trying to psycho me to get one of the Tis, but I know that I&#8217;ll never get one of those. I&#8217;m too lazy to bring headphones around, though I really like <a href="http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/ti-brown-gold.html" target="_blank">the pair he has</a>.</p>
<p>Also, Hanny sprang a surprise visit before his Mother&#8217;s day dinner with his family today. He caught me in extremely ratty PJs, but still&#8230; &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3</p>

<p>Met up with my M1 Asia Challenge team mates last Wednesday for dinner and we went to check out <a href="http://www.buttercakencream.com/" target="_blank">Buttercake N Cream</a> at Sunset Way. Their al fresco section is really nice in the evening (plus the pub next door was playing good music), and their desserts are a must-try! Was recommending APAPA to spend the March+April birthday there, but the group has already voted for another location.</p>
<p><img src="http://lala.sg/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/20100331b.jpg" alt="" title="20100331b" width="500" height="800" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1153" /></p>
<p>Their main course were nice as well, but the desserts are to die for. I&#8217;m not a fan of vanilla ice cream, but their vanilla ice cream is really nice! We had the warm chocolate pudding (house special), apple &#038; rhubarb crumble (house special and my fav dessert that night) and a sundae (forgot which, but it&#8217;s the one with nice vanilla ice cream). They&#8217;re currently having a <a href="http://www.buttercakencream.com/Promotion.php" target="_blank">promotion</a>. Free sundae per table if you spend more than $25 on dinner (Valid Tuesday to Thursday 6-9pm, excluding holiday eve)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.careerpath.com/career-tests/colorcareercounselor.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Best Occupational Category</strong><br />
You&#8217;re an <strong>ORGANIZER</strong></p>
<p><strong>Keywords</strong><br />
Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate</p>
<p>These conservative appearing, plotting-types enjoy organizing, data systems, accounting, detail, and accuracy. They often enjoy mathematics and data management activities such as accounting and investment management. Persistence and patience allows them to do detailed paperwork, operate office machines, write business reports, and make charts and graphs.</p>
<p><strong>ORGANIZER CAREERS</strong><br />
Suggested careers are Administrator, Secretary, Printer, Paralegal, Building Inspector, Bank Cashier, Private Secretary, Statistician, Operations Manager, Financial Analyst, Bookkeeper, Medical Records Technician, Developer of Business or Computer Systems, Clerical Worker, Proofreader, Accountant, Administrative Assistant, Banker, Certified Public Accountant, Credit Manager, Store Salesperson, Actuary, Dental Assistant, Business Education Teacher, Food Service Manager, IRS Agent, Budget Analyst, and Underwriter.</p>
<p><strong>ORGANIZER WORKPLACES</strong><br />
Your very careful, conscientious, conservative nature gives others the confidence to trust you with handling money and material possessions. Structured organizations that have well-ordered chains of command work best for you.</p>
<p>Suggested Organizer workplaces are large corporations, business offices, financial lending institutions, banks, insurance companies, accounting firms, and quality control and inspection departments.</p>
<p><strong>2nd Best Occupational Category</strong><br />
You&#8217;re a <strong>RESEARCHER</strong></p>
<p><strong>Keywords</strong><br />
Independent, Self-Motivated, Reserved, Introspective, Analytical, and Curious</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just finished half of my room, the half that is bright and sunny. :D</p>
<p>Need to find a box to contain my huge-ass IT books, or maybe display them on my shelf to appear smarter and also so that they can collect dust for the next year. Found a folder of all my receipts from Alexandra Hospital. Did a total and I spent S$6552.82 for my braces from Nov 05 till now (I still have to go back for reviews), here&#8217;s the cost breakdown:</p>
<ul>
<li>First examination and review with X-Ray S$91.90</li>
<li>First extraction S$76 (2 teeth)</li>
<li>Installation, adjustments and removal S$5207.75</li>
<li>Second extraction S$905.78 (4 wisdom teeth and 2 teeth)</li>
<li>Retainers S$188</li>
<li>Miscellaneous S$83.39</li>
</ul>
<p>Was disappointed with the bedsheets I bought from JUSCO. The packaging said it was for Queen size yet it contained a single bed set inside. :( I was looking forward to using them for CNY. Fortunately, I&#8217;m a crazy bedsheet shopper, so I&#8217;ll be using the other set I bought from IKEA. Going to start working on the dark and gloomy side of the room now.</p>

<p>Another overdue post. I finally went to Marina Barrage and had the chance to experiment with my camera. :) Was pleasantly surprised to discover that the place is very good for flying kites. The wind was really strong and there weren&#8217;t a lot of trees for your kites to get snagged on. However, there were way too many kites, so it&#8217;s easy for kites to get entangled or cut each other. I uploaded a couple of nicer pictures on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chufang/4345090808/in/photostream/" target="_blank">flickr</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I&#8217;m still waiting to collect the Bali pics from Kevin, I thought I should blog about my resolutions for the year. It&#8217;s not going to be a considerable list like last year, but really simple and consists of TWO (as many many people have pointed out :p) things mainly:</p>
<ul>
<li>Be healthy</li>
<li>Be happy</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re really particular, achieving these actually requires multiple little activities. But what&#8217;s going to happen is that these two considerations will be the basis for my decisions in my everyday activities for 2010.</p>
<p>I hope 2010 started off awesome for all of you and everybody will enjoy good health and wealth this year. :)</p>
