恭喜发财!

Finally, the rat year has creeped by. Went to grandparents' house as usual...

Sis took this while I was trying to adjust the length of my jeans. Forgot to bring back the blue one from camp, so had to wear the black one.



Reached there and had lunch, gambled and chatted...

Day shoot. Omg, I sound like someone from a firing range. :x




The 3rd generation! Watch out!




Night shoot. Cos my 2nd aunt din appear in the 1st. :)



Cute.



Ok. Went JB next early morning, haben been there for years.


Cousin helping out... (Guess she purposely posed there... No la!!! She's the very embodiment of a good housewife everyone would desire -.-)




Food! :D~

Everyone's favourite Shandy. But can't bring to Singapore! Drank 3 cans there. :)

These 2 damn cute rite. I'm biao shu (sounds very old leh, I prefer they call me kor kor) to the two kids!


The small little gal so funny, she's only 4 but she noes a lot of stuffs! Like I was plaeing with her by throwing her up in the air and catching her when she drops down a.k.a "飞飞" and I asked her to gimmie a rating of 1-10 for excitement.


Me: Yuan yuan!! Yao bu yao fei fei?
YY: Yao!! *nods her head*
Me: Na ru guo yi dao shi (1-10), ni yao duo ci ji?
YY: Yi Qian!!!
Me: *stunned*


So the day juz went by with her bugging me for more and more "飞飞". Rong Sheng (the boy) also wan "飞飞"!!! Omg, I tried but failed miserably as he's too heavy.


Oh yar, I saw Rong Sheng in the kitchen and this is the first time I saw him since he was an infant. Grow up liao also very cute.


Me: Ni dong wo shi shui ma?
RS: Bu dong *nods his head slowly*
Me: Ni xiao shi hou wo jiu you bao guo ni de!!! Wo shi ni papa de mama de mei mei de er zi!!! Ting de dong ma? (I kinda expected a no)
RS: Ting de dong. *smiles cheekily*


Really? Lol.





Cousins unite! Okay, technically speaking, we are one generation older. Children unite!!!

Nearly killed.

1st incident:

Nearly got murdered on the street below my house yesterday as I was walking across the road when the green lights are ON. Damn pissed with the driver, fuck him. The driver was on the opposite direction of the road and wanted to turn to his right to enter the road which was on my left (as I'm still walking on the road). Okay, veri confusing huh. He suddenly accelerate after noticing there weren't any cars travelling in the same direction as me. I was literally stunned as he jammed his brakes after he saw me. His car was barely 40cm away. Such reckless and irresponsible driving. Where were you rushing to? Hell?

His car plate number:SDD 8992R

2nd incident:

As Hong Qi and I were crossing the road at Bugis when the green lights are ON, this fucking yellow bus beside us was moving and trying to bang onto us!!! People around us were like stunned and I back-tracked to let the bus past by us slowly (abt 10km/hr). Until I whacked its door glass and guess what? THE BASTARD DRIVER WAS CONVERSING AWAY HAPPILY ON HIS PHONE WITH HIS HEAD FACING DOWN SUPPORTED BY HIS ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL. He was jolted from his convo and quickly did an apologizing gesture to the random people in front of him which he could have murdered.

His bus plate number: CB 6159R

Okay, don't start copying the numbers to buy 4D. Cos it ain't gonna work. Psst! 50% for me if it really won a prize k?


Finally bought my local version of the "White Chicks"!!! $16.95 nia. Oh yah, I returned the imported version and got "Huan Huan Ai" as trade.

Me:I tried plaeing it on my dvd player but it stops plaeing I pressed play.
HMV: Oh! That's because your dvd player has no (fill in yourself, cos I forgot), hence it can't play code 1 dvds.
Me: Why wasn't I informed when I bought this dvd?
HMV: Oh, this one you must noe one. (his face had this you-mean-you-dun-even-noe-this look.)

-.-

Went to watch The Mist with Hong Qi. I'll give it a 3.1/5.

A lot of wierd scenes. The plot development was rather slow and everything was in a mist and was quite irritating. The ending was sucky as the male lead killed all his people (his child, a woman and an old couple) on board after they wanted it as they thought the world was full of huge creatures but 2secs later, the military people and tanks arrived and saved all the people!!! All the mist that had been plagueing the entire show had miraculously disappeared! -.-

Shopping Spree!

Chris suddenly mentioned about going to Johor to shop in camp one fine day and some of us were quite eager to go. Called my mum to ask if I could go, but she was rather unwilling. However, my father embraced the idea and sounded quite interested for me to go with my ns peeps. So, in the end, Chris, Jeffery, Guan Zhong, Jian Feng and me are going.


Saw this fanciful-looking butterfly with translucent green parts on its wings


From left: Chris, Jeffery, Jian Feng and Jeffery.
BUT!!! Jian Feng aka Mr Mushroom realised that he hadn't extended his passport... :(
He can't go! Left we 4. Sadded. Nvm, we'll arrange more of such trips in future! :D

After reaching Johor (DAMN EXCITED CAN. My first overseas trip, not counting Pulau Tekong, since I entered the army), we went to fill our stomachs first at Wang Jiao HK.


From left: Jeffery and Chris


Me and Guan Zhong


WTF?!


Chris wif his Yin Yang drink. :P

Noodles, noodles and more noodles!


Chris's


Mine

I dunno where Guan Zhong's noodle went.


Jeff's rice which I think look a bit like cookhouse food! Oh my gawd. :x


Jeff's drink which was called something like "3 plum sisters" because there's three small pops of whip cream on the plum drink. Haha..


I swore I saw this picture of a pikachu inside a random Japanese food restaurant.


Thirsty? Fear not.

And then we proceeded to Coffee Bean to relax after walking non-stop for so long. Cam-whored a bit.




CLARENCE CHEW, WE ALL AGREE THIS SUITS YOU.


The place where we all bought our shoes! Mine was $49.90RM. Vans brand leh! :D

We were at this shop when I saw this super nice belt with pictures of faces punched into the surface of the belt. It was priced at $100RM.

Me: *telling to Chris* WAD THE HELL!!! This belt costs $100RM leh! Damn expensive lar! *owner of shop heard it*

A while later...

Me: *asking the owner* Excuse me, how much is this belt? *I was like thinking he would catch the hint that I wanted a discount*
Owner: OH!!! It's SING 50 DOLLARS
Me: WTF?!?!?!? *of coz i didn't sae that, mabbie you readers don't get the hidden meaning from what the owner said*
Owner: Who ask you to have such good taste? Pick up a expensive tie...
Me: __ *of coz I didn't do that, I still want to carry on with my life*

We decided to walk across the bridge!!!


We reached! YAY.. Consoled ourselves along the way that because of traffic jam so we walked... partly true!


Nice ornot, I fixed it to my bed! Bought this green lites (last piece) at $35RM. DAMN NICE can.

Okay, I still have to attend a wedding dinner. Rushed home to get changed.


:)


OH MY FRIGGIN GAWD. Why is Auntie Moley here?!?!?!?!?!? Still chatting happily with my grandma.

Me: Pa! Who is she? How is she related to us? She works in PJ de leh!
Papa: *turns to Auntie Moley* You work in PJ? My son used to be from PJ!!!
Auntie Moley: *laughs* Is it? I very fierce hor?!
Me: *smile faintly and turns to my other aunts* Okay la, not really fierce, just that I always here someone screaming like a banshee in the canteen. :)
Auntie Moley: I got scold you before?
Me: Nono.. Never talked to you before.
Auntie Moley: Wah, that's good. Hahaha...

-.-

Okay, I'm not at all interested in finding out how she is related to me, cos she is freaking scary as a person.


1st Dish.


2nd Dish. I don't advocate eating sharksfin! Save the sharks, save the world!!!

Class Gathering

Ahhh.. I wan a camera of my own plssss. So hard to blog w/o pictures, the pictures now with xian ming but he not online and I wonder when he'll be. We had our 05S01 class gathering at xian ming's house on last Saturday where only around 20/28 peeps turned up. So little! Kudos to the auntie who gave me the WRONG direction to xian ming's condo that I turned up at "the quintet" instead of "yew mei green". I can still vividly imagine the confident look she had while she attempts to instruct me on the "right" way. Walked until both my feet had a blister each. The wrong condo which I went to was also stupid one lor, it had no name or whatsoever on it! Until I saw someone going into the side gate.

-After calling Xian Ming to inform him that I've arrived at the side gate and I waited for abt 20 min and by that time, my bladder is about to burst can- (I'm serious)

Me: Excuse me, may I know the name of your condo?
Lady: Oh, it's "The quintet"

-.-

Finally reached the actual condo after I jumped into a cab. I wanted to make blueberry muffins for the potluck but I just didn't have the mood to bake, so I bought a pandan cake from Bengawan Solo at Lot one as a substitute. Wanted to give Prima Deli a chance especially after the salmonella incident but their cake really cannot make it. Paiseh. Haha. Kok Yong bought me Jay chou posters (guess I would give them to Hui Shan whom I believe will appreciate them more!) and a pair of funny-looking boxer with the chinese words,"I <3 Tai Mei" on it. HAHAHA. Thankew arhz. :P

Watched "White Chicks" which Mao Sheng brought it over and I realised he was the one who bought the last piece at Lot One! I'm trying to find the local DVD version but to no avail. Everyone started leaving at 11.30pm. Damn early can and I left at 12.40am after feeling sleepy and nothing much was done there. Thanks Xian Ming for allowing the gathering to be held at your comfortable abode! (my pictures will arrive soon i hope!)

`
Had my vocal lesson yesterday as usual and was quite late as I need to have a haircut. Everyone was required to sing the phrase,"Ai Wo Hai Shi Ta", "Ai Wo Hai Shi Wo" and "Ai Wo Hai Shi Ni" as she wanted us to find out which ("Ta", "Wo" or "Ni") was easier to sing out. She said I sounded like Fei Yu Qing for a while. -.- Okay, I decided to sing Fei Ni Mo Shu for the graduating song. Can't find Qing Tian Yu leh. :((( Boo.

Met up with Hq to shop around... Was really quite fast man, cos there wasn't much to shop around! Bought a cardigan at $90 dollars. F-fing expensive can. But it's the only size left.

Whining is anger through a small opening<-- interesting sentence I came across in Reader's Digest.

Monday blues.

The monstrous Monday has arrived again. I once read in Reader's Digest that Mondays are the worst days of the week and this is the day where new goals are made and expectations are high from bosses. Tension escalates and the office is literally transformed into a battlefield. So if you're going to apply for leave, do it on Thursday or Friday as people are usually more pleasant when the week is ending.

`
Learnt some musical terms yesterday like "bridge", "chorus" and "verse" etc and we took a group photo although Patricia wasn't around. Got one more small lil gal dunno go where liao.


From left:Me, Joyce, Maggie Lao Shi, Daphne and Elvina


Can see our Lao Shi like to pose for photos.. keke.
I shopped around yesterday after my vocal lesson and I chanced upon the 50% Topman sales that Chris has been talking about. Usually I don't believe in sales cos the items sold there are either too ugly or are out of your size range. Despite the lack of faith in such sales, I picked up a pair of jeans at $49(UP:$89)and the last cardigan at "S" size at $23(UP:$69). Totally amazing. :D

I was looking around at the range of eau de toilette and I finally found one that I liked. I remembered asking my sister what she thought of "Euphoria" by Calvin Klein but she said it was too common hence I didn't buy that. I told her to go Paris to see if they sell it cheaper there so if not, I'll purchase it here. :) Oh yah, she flew to Paris yesterday at 11pm. So damn happening rite. Air stewardess... Tsk Tsk.

`
Just came back from my dental appt at Rail mall. My teeth now fucking pain. But my braces would be removed in 5 weeks time! :D FINALLY. Was totally damn sad when I had to wear braces again due to my laziness in wearing retainer at nite when I go to sleep and caused one of my teeth to get out of place. My mum went to see another dentist yesterdae at the same clinic after having extreme pain in her upper left set of gums and teeth. My mum was totally pissed by the fucking attitude the dentist gave that I went to question the dentist what happened and he later apologized.

Welcome to the Rat Year!

I am having difficulty in getting the photos from Bing Qin, so I grabbed the photos from her blog cos if not, I would only be possible to blog this weekend, which is a lil too late i think.

Met up with Ying Siew and Bao xin at CCK mrt which we then proceeded to the Settler's Cafe at the outskirts of Holland Village. Damn ulu can.. lol. Bing Qin mentioned this was the last resort as the Clarke Quay outlet was fully booked.

From left: Bing Qin, Ying Siew, Shan Shan, Me, Kok Weng, Bao Xin and Da Tou(Yes! Someone replaced me as Da Tou :x )

We played lots of games but I think we enjoyed Taboo the most. LOL. There was this word, "Onions", that Ying Siew and Bao Xin had to guess while Kok Weng (Same team) had to do something to help them guess but he can't say some words, for example, "ring".

Kok Weng: *does a cutting action + "tock tock tock" sound and den weeped*

Ying Siew didn't see the cutting action and guessed "Funeral". Damn funny can.

Then there was this word, "Orbit", which Kok Weng had to make his teammates guess again. Can't use the word "Planet". I suddenly thought of some wierd ideas and helped him although I am the opposing team.

Me: *telling Bao Xin* You wear old-fashioned clothes. You are?!?!?!?
Ying Siew: Or-biang!!!
Me: Nono! Another word for it!!!
Ying Siew and Bao xin: Or-bit!!!

YAY!!! And that was how we spent our New Year's Eve laughing and screaming like a banshee. Each person $10 nia. Got food + free flow drink + 4hrs of gameplay. Cheaper than Minds Cafe. :D

We proceeded to Holland V for dinner...
Crystal Jade!



Happy people.

After that, we went to Crystal Jade La mian cos Ying Siew had a sudden craving for Xiao Long Baos. Eat a lot eh!

Quite affordable at $4.50 for 5.


I shared Zha Jiang Mian with Kok Weng as we weren't really full just now at Crystal Jade.

We went to Marina Square to see the fireworks as usual.

Cam whore freaks. :D






Some fucking immature teens have to spray confetti at us which I had to flash my middle finger and unleash my vulgarities at her(yes i did that, and I'm glad I did) for which the bunch of teens walked away immediately. Fuck you can, New Year doesn't mean you can get high and do whatever you want. Same goes to the aerosol snow spray people spam at Orchard Road during Christmas. That's why I totally avoid town during festive seasons.


Ugly side of Singaporeans. Clean and green city? Bullshit. It's because of the cleanup by the janitors.

Oh yah, While I was peeing, there were 2 malay friends vying competitively for one cubicle. After much pushing and shoving, both of them went in and locked the door. Dubious. -.-

I suddenly remembered I came across this article featured in The Sunday Times a few months ago about foreign workers hanging out at Jurong West HDB area with beverages and food. I vividly remembered what one of them said when interviewed.

Interviewee: I helped to build HDB flats of this area. Now I can't even come here to relax and enjoy with my friends?

WTF?! Sorry my friend, not if you are intruding the privacy of the people living here. So if I help to build the bank next time, I can have unlimited access to the money issit?

Sorry a bit random. LOL. Okay, I would like to wish all people I know a ECSTATIC AND PROSPEROUS 2008! Hope you achieve your wishes set for the year and I know I did for 2007, therefore, SO CAN YOU! :D
