Wow...it's really been a while since anyone contributed to this place eh ??? My long essays must have scared everyone else.
Oh yeah, why is there another thread all of a sudden in our Medics forum ??? Just curious coz I read stuff from there that made absolutely no sense to me...and I'm wondering if we've got some people contributing there of there's any other reason why it's there in the first place.
Agree with the e-mails, though I'm pretty happy that not receiving them, coz I get so much junk mail that less e-mails means less overclogging of my account. =)
Khaz, I'm gonna be home 18th Nov and will be around until after Chinese New Year, early Feb. That's quite a lot of time to meet up, and though I've got plans with my friends, I can always reschedule everything. Just let me know when Leo's coming back and when it's convenient for everyone to meet and I'm there. =) -
Hello there....
Nothing much to say really... just saying hello to everyone...
-
Ah Boy.... Gald to hear from you! Keep checking this forum for updates. Less Activity here now coz most ppl having exams... So keep in touch and update our forums once you guys are free ayh? Good Luck For your EXAMS!!!!

I know leo is coming back today . and with Ian back, maybe we can meet up some where this or next week b4 leo flies back. -
Yes !!! Completely agree !!! We should meet up as soon as possible. My Friday is completely booked though. Khaz, is there any day exactly that there's a preference for most people to go out and meet ???
Ian !~!~!~! ^_^ -
Hi all,
Been a while, hope everyone did well for the exams. ANyway Leonard is back, he says he'll fly off on 7th so he said he'll probably meet us late this week or early next. I really don't know when since basically we're waiting for him lah. I cannot say when exactly ok. So keep youze mobile on and we'll get the word out aight. Just prepare for say 24hr activation if necessary. For my self I'm fine except Thursday and Saturday I have a spa party till about 8. If we meet then I can try to chow earlier lah. Btw sorry to those who were looking forward to the gig last Saturday, apparently the club management screwed my friend over so rather than bring him biz, he cancelled instead. Planning another one in Dec perhaps so will keep you guys posted aight. Quite ashame actually, estimated 100+ and most of them from NTU cos one of the DJ from NTU. bloodyhell.
anyway catch u all soon.

Hi ppl , glad to hear from you ppl. So how? Keep us posted here Itoshi or through Hp. Try to let us know earlier so that we can reach maximum Attendence for our outing! Thursday and monday is somehow out for me as i have bowling league commitments.
-
Well as for me anyday is okay...practically rotting at home...
Just call and inform earlier...will ya. Yei leonard and ian...welcome back to the sunny island. -
Thanks Shahul, though I think it hasn't really been THAT sunny since I came back last Sunday. More of a humid island, but oh well. Looking forward to meeting up with you guys...it seems like Thursday and Saturday is out at the moment coz multiple people cannot make it. I wouldn't be able to make it on Friday myself coz my entire day is pretty much booked. How about Sunday ??? Next week ??? If it's next week, just let me know which day it's gonna be in advance and I'll keep that entire day free. =)
-
will definitely keep you guys posted. ANyway watever it is ideal is dinner outing since me and shahul are both fasting anyway yah. yet to hear from nerd, busy catching up with fiancee and movies and shit like that i guess. my thursday is out too, next, tues and wednesday also out.other days are fine.see u all soon.
-
dear all
leo asking this sat 1630hrs? If uguys ok, give him a call and confirm lah. I can meet u guys for dinner after 8 or 730. I have a spa party for my clients that day. cant come out earlier. -
Shouldn't be a problem for me !!! Supposed to meet up with some other friends, but I'll meet them some other time. By the way Leo, I've got your Origin #5 and #6 with me !!!
-
Hello everyone...
Great to know that you guys are meeting up and having fun... too bad I'm stuck here and not able to join.... hiya...
What? Meng Kwan... you want me to send a bowling ball? huh? I didn't know that UK has better bowling balls... but if you REALLY want, i can send it to you but I'm not sure whether the post office has a parcel strong enough to hold a bowling ball... haha....
Anyway, take care all of you and hope to hear from you soon!! and for those waiting for results... good luck!
Jo, when you going back? or are you not going back?
Yours,
Hon SHing
