The Chao Chou Returns

Chao Chou is back!!

Many things have happened recently and Chao Chou is either too tired or too lazy to blog.. Hahaha!!

This week is Chao Chou's term break and heres what he did.

3 Sep
Although it is the term break, but there is still Econs make up for Chao Chou. Yeaps Chao Chou managed to climb out of bed at 0830hrs to crash the IBM lecture at 0930hrs first. This is because Lavina asked him to be early for class if not he will miss the Sakae Sushi treat from her. Chao Chou was touched when he knew why Lavina insisted he must come earlier.

Chao Chou had a new Vietnamese buddy called Chinh. Chinh's birthday is on 5 Sep and Lavina, Jessica and Stephanie had prepared a mini celebration for Chinh. In order to make it a surprise, they kept it a secret from Chao Chou as well! The plan was to celebrate during the half hour break after IBM lecture just before Econs lecture. This is why Lavina insisted that Chao Chou must not be late for Econs lecture!! But due to unforeseen circumstances, the celebration was pushed to after Econs lecture at 1pm.. Stephanie had baked a cheese cake. Jessica made a paper party hat that is obviously too small... And the 3 girls compiled a Chinh's personal FHM magazine. It was so sweet of them, especially when Chao Chou and Chinh were not exactly very close to Stephanie and Jessica. Chao Chou was touched by their sincerity! Chao Chou decided to wish for a personal 'Playboy' magazine for his birthday.. hahaha!

After the celebration, 5 of them decided to make their way to Mind Cafe to play some games before Sakae Sushi's buffet starts at 330pm. Lavina sponsored Chao Chou and Chinh for their Sakae buffet because she lost her bet (of not completing Tutorial 5 on her own while Chinh and Chao Chou did.) It was a great day despite the heavy rain. Great games, great food, great company!


5 Sep
At 1am, Chao Chou picked up Jessica and Steph to go find Chinh for a surprised supper! Its Chinh's actual birthday!! Actually the truth was that Chao Chou was hungry and he was looking for someone to go supper with him. It so happened that Jessica was only staying 2 blocks away from Chao Chou and Steph stayed in Punggol while Chinh stayed along Upper Serangoon Road, all along NEL! So it was convenient to pick them up for supper... Erms, but yah Happy Birthday to Chinh!!!


6 Sep
It was exercise day! Chao Chou and his family went East Coast Park at 9am. They went for breakfast at the new BK and then proceed to rent bicycle. Chao Chou's parents walked along the beach while Chao Chou, his sisters and brother-in-law cycled. Juan came shortly after she finished helping her parents deliver goods.

Biker Chao Chou!!

Juan and Chao Chou!


Chinh, Jessica, Gerry and Lavina met up with Chao Chou at 1130am at Macs. The girls chose to cycle while the guys all bladed. Chao Chou changed to his blades too! Steph joined us at about 2pm.

Well anyway, Chao Chou almost died because he started cycling from 10am and was still blading at about 3pm.

After the cycling and blading, they decided to go Chao Chou's place to learn how to play Mahjong. The girls shared a cab to Jess' place while the guys and Juan came to Chao Chou's place first. After bathing and eating the delicious food Juan made for them, Gerry and Chinh decided to watch movie first. The girls walked over soon and unfortunately, Steph gotta go back home first. She left after Jess gave her her birthday present.

It was challenging enough to teach 4 person Mahjong, even more when 2 of them are foreigners who cant really understand Chinese. But Chao Chou is proud to say they have at least enjoyed a round of Mahjong!

After the mahjong, bridge and Dai Di sessions, they ended the day with dinner at Sakura in Compasspoint.
