this was the sunrise i was talking abt.. the beginning of it ..with the sun peekng out..
my papa and mummy! we had lunch in the APU cafeteria with the rest of the singaporeans and a few japanese .. oh oh the cafeteria's pretty cool cos it has an excellent view of the mountains outside.. benefits of being on top of a mountain.. heh

at our dormitory floor meeting ..each pair had to cook a dish for dinner.. yuki and i made black pepper beef (as mentioned in my earlier post..hee) and stir fried cabbage with.. more beef. haha.
