after a week's break from the break in genting with the good old homies from dopt, it's turn for vision screening with the UM folks and the yr 3 babes. well, i could call them babes cos there's no guys around from yr 3 who's going for the batam. haiz... this makes it really hard for me to find excuses to approach the gals. haha! yea... kidding. cmon, i'm no casanova...


and for goodness's sake, pls dun ask me wad's the meaning of memeriksa mata... i only know mata is eyes. the first day, after sai kang from SP with guan kai, kiat wee, tze siang, ms lek, miss sharon and i, we waited for the rests at the tanah merah ferry terminal where we'll take a ferry straight to the ferry that's near the nongsa marina point or sth.


basically, we din do any screening on the 1st day. most of it was setting up and the sun sets real early and we had to bring in those super lights to lit up the whole place. probably due to its proximity to the coast, we got real sticky and warm easily.

with compliments from the conscientious efforts of kiat wee and other good people of the screening, i shall let the pics do the talking!

and coincidentally, 28th sept is fangmei's bday! so we had a celebration with her with ailing's homebaked muffins. thank goodness she din use the queer mixture of raisin with chocolate chips but used pure choc chips instead this time round. much more delectable:) hope fangmei enjoyed this batam bday celebration!
