Just So Random

Random post, random things, random ranting, random thinking.

School is starting! Those who are in primary, secondary, ite, jc and poly have their school started early this week. As for me, I am starting school next week. It is a week different from others but I don’t see a difference in the amount of sian-ness students are experiencing.

School is such a torture! Well, because in this society, papers are important. In order to get those important papers, we need to go to school and get tortured. So indirectly, we are torturing ourselves. How dumb but no choice.

Ever since I come to university, I realise that many things are not that simple already. In the past, 1 day before the paper is enough. Now, 1 week before the paper is not even enough. On top of that, everything is cramp-y. All the modules are heavy, all the notes are summarized, and me, saturated sponge.

School~ Why is there something called school?~

Lately, I have been poison again. I guess I am too bored so I decided to get hooked. Or maybe it is because christmas is over and now it is all aiming for chinese new year? Hmm! I am not really sure either. I just feel so poisoned. LOL!

I am back into f5-ing. Just that this time, anna is poisoned together with me. So I will f5, inform her, start eying and tag along. On top of that, yh and js are involved in our poison. They are our ‘second opinion’. I realise yh and js’s taste agar the same. Green and both insist is white -.- And amazingly, both of them kept insisting on this particular item. Haha~

On sunday, I joined a super crazy f5 session. It launch at 8.00pm. I commented at 8.02pm and I did not get my item. How crazy that is? They actually spent 1 hour plus invoicing for those who commented at 8.01pm. My 8.02pm post is actually at page erm~ 20++ CRAZY!! Everyone is so hiong.

Last time, as long as is within 3 minutes, you are safe. Now, those who commented within 2 minutes are all in backorder list. OMG! When I commented at 8.02pm, I did not even look at the price, the size and measurements. All I did was to wait for the page to load, copy down the name and post the comment. Yecks! I don’t like back order because the lemming will be gone by then.

Online shopping~ Why is it getting more competitve?~
Yesterday, I went out and spent a lot of money. I really mean A LOT! I spent $99.90 at harvey norman. Just that alone, it is enough to kill. That is not all, I spent on other stuff too. OMG! I spent quite a lot. Oh~ money~ =(
Besides, I am eyeing on something online again. Right! And on thursday, it is another f5 day! So yes, I am worried about my wallet. =( I kept telling myself “it is for cny”. Seriously, there is only 1 body, and I am spending only 2 days for cny because I am having school. So why get so many clothes? Even so, I can’t resist the temptation of the pretty clothes. Haha! Like the forum girls say, “We can always find excuse to buy~”
Money~ Why is things getting more expensive?~
Oh yes! I am thinking. Maybe I should start twitter-ing. Haha! When school start, I think I will decrease the number of post again. I don’t post a ‘shout out’ in facebook, maybe I should play with twitter. LOL! Yes, twit~

First in 2010

Hello 2010, goodbye 2009 reminds me of guangyang’s “hello toa payoh, goodbye bishan”

This is my first post in year 2010. I spent my last blog post reminiscing what happened in 2009. All the ups and downs that happened in 2009. After writing and trying to remember what happened every month, I saw this note in facebook where you will write a x on what you have done in 2009. So cool.

Looking at my blog archive, I think my blog is, once again, reaching the ‘dying’ stage. I guess it is all school’s fault! Yes, school, school, school and more school. I officially hate and want to quit school. I always dislike going school but now, the idea is clearer to me, school sucks! =x

Ok, let’s back track a little.

      .Sunday, December 27, 2009]]__x

Another day at home. After going out for the whole week, my pocket need a couple of days at home to recuperate. Once again, I think I got a little bored and I decided to start taking tons of photos with the kids and their lollipop.

The little girl.

The two little kids.

The small girl and me making funny faces. I always make funny faces with her. Haha!
Attempting to make funny faces with him but he can’t be bothered -.-
Right, evidence of the kids bullying me! =(
The last time the 3 of us took photos, kaitlyn and I were making tons of funny faces and kaiden is busy watching television program. This time, he is busy eating lollipop and not entertaining us (again).
Then sis join in the fun after her lunch. LOL!
      .Wednesday, December 30, 2009]]__x
30th is the day! And the reason I officially hated school started from this day too. Oh well!! I have nothing to say.
Well, what is so ‘great’ about this day is, everyone in NTU knows that today is result day. And my result is like crap. I hate this day. I don’t know why is my results like that but I really hate my results. I wish I can do something about it. I wish I had do something about it. But if time were to turn back, what would be different? Nothing.
Oh well! Unhappiness to the max.
In the evening, I took 966 again down to woodlands. I am meeting up with justin as he just came back from kukup. What a nice person =) I spent 1 hour waiting for him. Ok, to be exact, I spent 15 minutes waiting for 966, I spent 1 hour taking 966 from jalan toa payoh to woodlands and spent another 1 hour waiting for him.
After meeting him, we went to causeway point to shop. It is my first time going causeway point. And I saw cassandra there! OMG! Ever since I am enrolled in NTU, I have never met any of my university friends when I go out with my secondary/poly/outside friends. This is the first time.
Then I went to walk around with him and after which, we went to pasta mania for dinner. Then we took 966 back to toa payoh. Another 1 hour of bus ride.
      .Thursday, December 31, 2009]]__x
It is new year’s eve. Initially, there wasn’t any plan. Who knows, last minute, I am meeting up with the 3 j again. I wanted to stay home and pack my table + my laptop. In the end, we are meeting for movie. That is so late minute! =x
Ok, before leaving the house, I helped hang the clothes, clean my table, sort out my notes. That is all I did. I have yet to throw them away. Before I can finish packing, justin called me and tell me that he is reaching toa payoh soon. Shucks! Late!
P.S. I love the smell of the softener.
After changing and rushing out of the house, joseph called me and tell me that he is at the mrt station, coming down toa payoh. Ah~ Late + late! I met up with justin and then joseph and went to bugis to meet jeremy. When we got up the train, jeremy called me and tell me that he is at bugis already. Ah! Late + late + late!
When we reach bugis, we are late for the 3.25pm movie. We went to get food and head up to the cinema. We are watching alvin and the chipmunks today!! =) I wanted to watch the movie. Haha! We are about 5 minutes late and we already miss out what happened at the start.
After the movie, we decided to take a photo together (ok, I decided). We went to take photo with the alvin and chipmunk cardboard. Jeremy kept saying that alvin is taller than me. Eeek! So I took a photo with alvin individually and I am taller than him!!! =)
Jeremy had to tip toe to make sure his face isn’t blocked. See, alvin is so tall. LOL!
Then we went to bugis, shop shop and jeremy headed home. He had something on. So we went to take bus down to marina square. We wanted to go and have dinner at popeyes. In the end, we went to xin wang taiwan cafe for dinner!
Before going for dinner, we went to suntec convention hall and look at all the promotion stuff. After which, we went for dinner. Luckily we went for dinner early. Else we will be like others, waiting outside for a seat. We ordered a main dish each and shared 2 side dishes.
Xin wang taiwan cafe. The menu is so cute. I went to take a photo of every single page of the menu. Opps!
The food we order. I love the mango snow shake! It is yummy! Taste like mango pudding =)
Random photos taken at xin wang. And some random photos at random places.
That is us~ Photos, photos and more photos. For one of the photo, someone took it for us. We did not ask him to take it for us. That is the funny thing. Ok, we were zi-lian-ing. Then 2 guys walk pass. One of the guy actually ‘adjusted’ the camera for us -.- Then we were like so stunned! After which, his friend actually offered to take the photos for us. We kept laughing non-stop. Haha!
After food and photos, we decide to head back. So we went to have dou hua. After which, joseph went to meet chin swee and gang for lan. I think joseph is bored from all the shopping and walking. The moment chin swee and gang ask him for lan, he totally ‘brighten’ up. So turn off =x
P.S. Jo, so sorry! You seem so bored! So pai seh~ Next time don’t ask you shop liao la~
Justin and I headed home. Well, it is new year’s eve and I know everyone is going countdown. Seriously, I don’t really like to countdown. I don’t know why. I don’t feel like going countdown at all. Plus all the pack-ness. I don’t like squeezing in the crowd and waiting for train to go home.
Well, though my mother did not object me from going to countdown, she did not allow either. She allow me to go malaysia is already a ‘big step’. I don’t want to make it look as though I don’t know what is self-restrain. Besides, I don’t like going home late. It is so expensive. =x
Oh well, I think I am still more suitable staying at home. Home girl~ =)
I spent my new year at home, looking at the about 8 minutes long fireworks from my house. This year, I did not ‘camp’ at my window taking photos of the fireworks. I am so not excited. For once, I am not excited about fireworks.
      .Friday, January 01, 2010]]__x
It is new year! =) My mummy is going to watch yi nan wang concert!! OMG!
As for me, I think I am staying home. I am not sure what to do yet. Ah~ Maybe I should get out of the house. Or maybe I should stay home and rot. Wheeeee~
Anyways! That day I received another christmas card from jeremy! At first, when I saw the card, I was thinking, “why did the person put 2 stamps? Is the card so heavy??” Then I look at the return address. I started thinking, who stays hougang/sengkang area. For some reason, xxxxxx came to my mind. But I know it is never xxxxxx.
When I open the envelop, I saw another 3 envelop. Funny eh him. He asked me to pass to justin and joseph the other 2 envelop. LOL! And he wrote it on 15 december and he sent out on 26th december. Right~
P.S. I will never forget the courts thingy! =)
And, after saying it for more than 6 months, I finally went to get the hair serum. Finally!
Isn’t it cool? There are 2 colours. And it smells super peach-y. Love the smell and the colour~ Sweet!!
Anyways. that day, I went to cut my hair. Then I went to get conditioner as mine is finishing soon. Then I saw the hair serum and FINALLY decided to get it. Before going to get conditioner, I walk pass koi and bought a cup of bubble tea. I am left with $20 and spent $3 on bubble tea.
I went into guardian, got myself a bottle of conditioner and the hair serum. Then I went to the counter to pay money. It is $20+, without thinking much, I start opening my purse and look for my posb card. Shucks! I did not bring my card out! Then I realise I do not have enough money so I told the sales girl I don’t want the conditioner. (I have no idea why)
I feel so embarrassed! There are people queuing behind me and I think it is quite embarrassing. I paid and head home immediately. Next time, I am just going to bring my posb card around! =x

-- Year 2009 Resolution--

Since the new year is here, maybe I should look back at my resolution in 2009 and see what is ‘achieve’ and ‘done’ in 2009.

1) Survive through year 3
2) Get into the university course that I choose
3) Make new friends and keeping the old
4) More gathering - primary, secondary, polytechnic
5) Fishes to grow up healthily!
6) More cousin-get-together and meeting of KWAY! =)
7) Everyone to be happy and healthy
8) WORLD PEACE XD
9) Know who in the blue moon is UNKNOWN!

1) I’ve completed poly year 3 and get into university safely.
2) Ok, I got into the university course I wanted.
3) I made new friends (camp and tutorial) and continue staying in contact with my ‘old’ friends.
4) Ok, I had a primary school gathering. The other 2 seems rather impossible.
5) My fish died -.-
6) We had a couple of KWAY before wai left. We also had a MAJOR gathering during ah ma’s wake.
7) Erm….
8) Erm erm….
9) Erm erm erm….
Yes. That is what is done in 2009! My resolution seems rather dumb. Haha! My resolution seems so general.

-- Year 2010 Resolution--

Ok, now my resolution for the new year, 2010. Hmm! I know at the end of the year, I will be saying “what dumb resolution I have”. Haha!

1) Make through university life
2) Pull up my grades
3) Save more money in bank
4) Lose weight and slim down
5) Get to 2011

Well, (1) will be there until I graduate from university. So you will see it again for 2011. (2) you will see that again in 2011. Well, who don’t want to their grades to be good? (3) I think I need to save more money and cut down on window shopping and spending. (4) It is a permanent resolution.
And lastly (5). Well, the reason is simple. School = school work and studying = stressful = cannot cope = break down = appear on newspaper. Simple. In 2009, I had reach the stage of break down and cry. So the last stage might be possible =x Ok, think positive =)
Last but not least….

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Just Before New Year

Finally, 30th is here. I don’t know to be happy or sad! It is more of a mix feeling. I have been waiting for 30th to come and now it has come. I get to know what I want to know, see what I want to see. But 30th is here means holiday is ending soon. How sad!
Ok, I am still not used to my current hairstyle. I can’t help but keep complaining to char. I think she can’t stand it too. LOL! Yes, my hair is so short and layered. Sis told me to go down to meron and see if she can do anything about it. But I think it is quite impossible because it is really layered and the only thing meron can do is to cut my hair short!
1 week! 1 week before school start. How long will my hair grow?
Anyways! Yesterday night, I was washing my hair. Suddenly, I feel that the amount of conditioner used is lesser and the time taken for it to dry is shorter too. After I bathe, I ‘flip’ my hair to the front, I can’t see my hair!! When I ‘flip’ it back, I don’t feel the slap on my back. Eeek! I miss my long hair so much.
Tell me how to make my hair grow faster~
Now, 30th is here, I can finally know to clear my notes or not. I can finally clear my laptop and table. Yes! Finally I can throw away the respective notes that I don’t need for next semester. I am going to clean it before the new year, which means tomorrow. My table is super messy.
Finally, 3/4 of the photos in my computer are done in re-naming and transferring. Now I am left with a couple of them. I shall finish them before the new year, which means by tomorrow again. Haha! A little more!
I am going to start 2010 with a clean table, clean and empty laptop and a clean cupboard. Yea~
I am so tempted to get something online but nothing caught my eyes. Eeek! I want to have some retail therapy. Ah~ Window shop shop shop shop!!! I need to shop!!
I am going out later. However, I so don’t want to go out because of my ugly hair!! I don’t want to get out of my house!!! Ah~ Ah~ Ah~
Please hair, can you grow faster?

Bad Hair Cut & Christmas Gift

30th~ OH~ 30th. 30th is the day!! I can’t wait for it to come. Seriously, I hope tomorrow is 30th. Eeek! 30th, 30th, 30th!!! I want 30th to come. Can it just come come come?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 30th~ OH~ 30th~
Ok, finally, after 1 month of planning and planning, I’ve finally to get my hair cut at auntie jessica’s place. I wanted to go down to meron’s place and cut but I am too lazy. Besides, I am thinking to go get another haircut in february before chinese new year. So I shall just save the money.
This is my hair before cutting it. It had been like 4 months since I had a haircut. My hair is so un-maintained and look like grass. So I decided to go and cut away the split ends and this is what happen after cutting……..
P.S. I did not adjust my hair properly before taking the back view so it looks a little uneven.
Even so, I so wanted to scream!!!!! My hair is super duper short now! I totally can’t stand it. The bottom of the hair is super thin. I did not say I want to make my hair thin, I even told her not to layer so much. I only told her I want to cut about 3 inch. In the end, it is super short.
Not only that, auntie jessica layer my hair so much that it is so ‘pong’ at the top and super duper thin at the bottom. And I don’t understand why is there a ‘tail’ at the bottom of the hair. Yecks! I don’t like tail. I just feel that it looks odd. Now when I attempt to tie my hair, I feel hair-less. And the pony tail is thinner than a mao bi.
Auntie jessica cut my hair so thin after my neck. So thin that I’d rather she just chop off that part and let me have short hair. OMG OMG OMG~ I can’t even put my hair at the front. It is pathetically thin. I can’t wait for my hair to grow longer. I need my hair back. I wish it is long enough before school starts.
晴天霹雳
Why I can’t wait for 30th to come? Well, I am getting my results on that day and the moment I get my results, I think I will emo for a period of time and then pack my table and laptop. With that, 2 things on my to-do-list is finally done.
I can’t wait for my table to be clean, my laptop to be clean too. Ah! I just can’t stand it when my table is in a terrible mess. Feel like dumping all the notes away. PLEASE! Let me be able to dump them away and need not keep it for next semester. **pray pray pray**
I was intending to cut my hair on the 30th before going down to woodlands. However, I decided not to. The reason is simple, I am afraid I don’t do well and get so emo. And when I get emo, I might just do any thing drastic to my hair, which means short hair. That is what happen last time. I don’t want!! So yup!
I have yet to pack my wardrobe. I am damn lazy to pack but no choice. And I have no idea what to throw. Oh well~ Lazy to max!
As of now, I am packing and putting the photos into my external hard disk. Lately, I have too many photos taken and I am re-naming them and putting them into my hard disk. Oh~ So tiring to re-naming them. I stil got many many to re-name. Ah~
Well, I receive some items which makes me feel better from the ugly haircut. =)
A present which I gotten from char before exam ends. So sweet of her. She made one for me, geor and jing. Ah~ So sweet. **hugs**
P.S. the pink font is so pretty~
A snowman as my christmas present from justin. So nice of him. He made it himself. I didn’t know he knows how to sew. **hugs**
I just receive this card today. It is from mei mao, 没毛, aka geor. Er xin, ever since siyu call me ‘end’ by accident, she kept calling me ‘end’. Haha! She sent out on 24th december and I receive it today. I saw a long long passage with lots of ‘end’. Haha~ **hugs**
As usual, every year, uncle will send me a card. Just that every year he will send me new year card and this year he sent me a christmas card, some more it is a very cute PIKACHU christmas card!! OMG~ Totally love this card!! You know me so well uncle! **hugs**
Ai~ Tomorrow is only 29th~ 1 more day!

Packed With Events

Christmas is over! I am finally free. For the whole of last week, I am going out every single day. Packed, packed, packed. My pocket’s hole is getting bigger, bigger and bigger! After the whole series of entertainment, I found out something. NO MORE HORROR MOVIE FOR ME!!! Haha!

              Wei Yue and Xin Mei’s Wedding!

In the evening, I went to my paternal side cousin’s wedding. My parents aren’t going down so my sister and I are going down as representative. My super pretty and sweet cousin is getting married. And she is getting married at meritus mandarin hotel. Whoo!
In the evening, my sister, kaitlyn and I took train down to orchard and walk to meritus mandarin hotel. I wore my heels and it is like a torture walking. Shucks! Kaitlyn was complaining all the way. She is super tired of walking. LOL! After which, we went to greet my uncle and aunty. Then we took a photo together with the bride.
After which, we went into the ballroom and waited. For some reason, we are sitting at the ‘red’ table. I never sat at the ‘red’ table before, except for my sister’s wedding. And I think it is damn cool sitting at the ‘red’ table because all the food are served individually. Yes~
Of course, there are some hiccups. The groom step onto the bride’s wedding gown while walking in. And the bride’s evening gown kept getting stuck in her bling bling shoes.
Ok, let the photos do the talking =)
My attempt to zi pai and this small boy won’t let me do so peacefully. He kept clinging onto me. LOL!
The ball room. The whole place look so grand. I heard that there are 52 tables! Which is damn many!
The table setting and gift. The plates and cutlery are all so grand! OOOO!
The food! There is shark fin soup (confirm is shark fin), prawn, abalone with vegetable (not in the photo), fried chicken with some thai sauce, noodles and my favourite dessert, yam paste! OMG de yummy! The yam paste is damn nice. It is not like those where you can’t even see the coconut milk at the top. Drooling~
The couple. Xin mei and wei yue. For the male side, it is great grand son marrying. OMG! Means his great grand mother is still alive. I saw his grand mother and she is super young! I don’t like xin mei’s evening gown. The colour is so much more hot pink in real life. It is not my ‘kind’ of evening gown. Haha! But I think both gown is damn cool, there are many bling blings. The guy must be so rich (according to my sister).
My little niece. For some reason, she started to not like having pictures of her. She don’t like to be in the photos. However, she love taking photos. That is something odd. I don’t know what happen to her. So yup!
My sister, niece and me =)
Left to right: anne, anna, nicole aka xin mei, third aunt, james’s gf, james aka xing ren.
The height is like do-re-mi. Haha! And you can see there are many bling bling on her wedding gown.
Anyways, I was sitting with xing xiong. We were chatting all the way. Seriously, I don’t know why we chatted so much. LOL! He is 1 year younger than me. I wanted to add him on face book but suddenly, I don’t know his english name. In my family, our english name and chinese name are linked via dialect. So I don’t know his name. Shucks!
After the dinner, my dad came and sent us home. Yawn! I am super tired. My feet is breaking. Shucks!
P.S. Xin mei is so so so skinny! She is tummy-less! OMG!

              Meeting Up with the 3 Js!
In the evening, I went out with 3j – jeremy, joseph, justin. In the evening, I went to meet up with joseph. He was bored. So I met up with him and we went to suntec city to shop. At around 7.30pm, we decided to walk back to city link.
Along the way, we got ‘stopped’ by 2 people from prudential. The girl thought we are couple. Haha! It is the second time something like that happened to me and joseph. They started ‘preaching’ and psycho-ing us to sign the plan. Right~
In the end, we were late in meeting up with justin and jeremy. We are supposed to be the earliest. Haha! In the end, we are the latest. We met up with justin at suntec city, then we went to new york new york and meet up with jeremy. We are 30 minutes late. We make reservations at 8.00pm. Haha!
As usual, we were chatting and crapping. It is the first time justin meet up with jeremy. However, the two of them talk as though they have known each other for very long time. The common thing between justin and joseph is their name. And the common thing between jeremy and justin is that all it takes is 3 days =)
After food, we had ice cream. The big big ice cream. Then we went to take train and headed back home. Yawn! It was raining very heavily so I took one ‘round’. By the time I reach home, I am so tired! I went to bathe and head to sleep.
New york new york! =) One of my favourite restaurant.
The food we ordered! I think the ice cream is damn nice =)
Left to right: justin, anne, joseph, jeremy.
I wore one of my online loots out =) So happy with my buy. Haha! Ok, that is out of topic. We tried to ‘copy’ statue of liberty. Haha! It is embarrassing.
P.S. It is amazing how much we can talk though we meet up only once or twice a year without common friends.

              A Trip to Johor Bahru!
I woke up thanks to my alarm clock. Else I will be sleeping like a pig. Mummy did not work today. I had breakfast and tang yuan. Then I went out and meet up with js. We are going malaysia today =) It is so cool, for the first time I am going jb. I have never been to jb before though.
I went to meet up with js at kranji mrt station. Then we took bus down to jb. It is my first time. I feel super excited and afraid at the same time. People always say that jb is dangerous and all. Shucks! I am so scared.
When we reach there, we went shopping. Then we went for lunch at this cafe. The food is nice. I was freezing after the meal. We went shopping and looking around. There is nothing for me to buy! I am so looking forward to go jb and spend a lot. In the end, I did not buy anything. All I spent on is food, food, food and more food.
The christmas lightings at city square. The snow man is so cute.
My lunch. We shared a bowl of noodle, fried you tiao and a mango sago. I don’t like the mango sago but the other 2 are nice. P.S. The emoticon is cute.
We bought chocolate. Their chocolate is nice =) I think the hazelnut one is super nice. Aw~
After shopping, we went to starbucks for tea break. We had some chocolate banana cake which is damn nice.
At 6 plus pm, we went back to singapore. We took bus from kranji down to marina square. The ride is super long. We went down to the flyer and take bus. While waiting for 56, I got a little hungry so we went to popeyes for dinner. It is my first time eating popeyes and I am so hooked to their biscuit and mashed potato.
After dinner, we went to take pictures. At 9 plus 10pm, I saw couples taking photo shoots. They are in formal attire and taking at the bottom of the flyer. Cool! The lighting is nice too.
Lightings down at marina square. Finally get to see the lightings =)
The lightings at the flyer. I think the blue and red ball ball thing is cool but it doesn’t seem any ‘wow’ from the pictures taken. Haha! Blame on my photography skills.
Popeyes. I totally love the potatoe and biscuit! I can’t wait to visit them again. Yummy yummy! Droolll~~~
After dinner and taking photos, we headed back home. It is super late when we head back. By the time I reach toa payoh is already 10 plus, going 11pm. I went to bathe and sleep! I am so lazy to bathe but I can’t =x
P.S. One part of my to-do-list is done. Christmas lighting.

              A18 Christmas Gathering!
In the morning, I set alarm clock to wake me up at 9.30am. In the end, I doze back to bed and change my alarm clock to 10am. In the end, I woke up at 11am. That is bad! I am waking up later and later. I cannot do that! I need to adjust my auto clock!
I went to read up on my electives and start thinking which elective to take. Finally, at 1.30pm, I have decided my electives and went to submit. I am going down to wahidin’s place for gathering. We are supposed to go down at 11.00am. I decided to just stay home and complete my elective first.
After my electives registration, I went to bathe and ate my food. Then I went to take bus down to jalan toa payoh and take 966 down to woodlands. The bus ride is super duper long. I doze off again and again. By the time I reach woodlands interchange, it is already 5 plus near 6pm.
I went to woodlands interchange and wanted to find 964 to take. I can’t find the berth and saw 913. So I happily got up the bus. Then the whole place look so foreign. In the end, that 913 is going check point and loop back. So dumbly, I took 1 round of 913.
After which, I am back at woodlands interchange. I went to look for 964 berth but I can’t find. So I went to ask the staff. When waiting for 964, I saw 913 again. This time at a different berth. So I decided to try my luck and take that 913. Haha! Luckily, I reach the place.
I walk to his place and head up to his house. They are all there playing drum game. They were playing and playing and then half way through, they decided to catch a movie. We started with watching emily rose. I always wanted to watch that movie but I am scared. Due to the fact that the movie is naggy, we fast forward and only look at the ‘exciting’ part.
Then we went for dinner. We ordered pizza and ate pizza. Yummy! Then we started playing with his keyboard and I realise, the song peng siang is playing is so nice. He is self-learning piano too. On top of that, farina knows how to play the piano, so is elisa. OMG! The girls are so talented.
Them playing the drum game.
Hungry hungry!
Beatrice attempting to sit on the arm chair. She spent a long time figuring out how to on the massaging chair. Then tai wei went to help her ‘figure’ it out. After which wahidin wanted to help her but she insisted on trying it herself. In the end, bernard went to on it.
The keyboard!
The few of us =) For some reason, we did not take any group photo.
After playing with the keyboard, we went to watch paranormal activity. Ok, I wanted to watch this movie too but I am too timid to watch it in the cinema. So at wahidin’s place, we watched the movie. Throughout the movie, I was hiding behind huikiang.
I did not watch the movie at all. I am too scared but I kept asking them what happen. I think they want to kill me for asking them so much. Haha! We headed back home. I am afraid of going home alone. So I made huikiang and daniel accompany me take train to toa payoh. Who knows, the last train to city already departed long ago.
I walk them to go and take cab while I went to take bus home. At night, I was damn scared. I called js and made her talk to me the whole night.
I went to bathe, and my bathe time is super short! After which, I quickly off my computer, blow my hair dry and head to bed. I am so scared that I asked my sister to on her lights. Besides having the lights on, I made js talk to me till I sleep. It is so nice of her. Stupidly, she kept telling me the time. Idiot! I so want to strangle her! In the end, I doze off at 3 plus 4am.
P.S. No more horror movie!! =(

              Family Christmas Gathering!
It is christmas eve. And today’s event is family gathering. I am going down ah ma house later. Well, though it is a family gathering, less than half of my cousins are going down. How pathetic. I think there are not many people going down. Oh~ Why put it on christmas eve? Everyone have their own activity.
At 6 plus pm, I head down to ah ma place with my sister and the two kids. Drew drew did not go. So I went with sister and her kids. When we reach there, the kids needed ‘warm up’ session. So they are still clingy. I was talking and chatting with kenneth. Once again, christina want to ‘target’ me again. LOL!
Nothing much happened during the few hours except for chatting, photo taking, eating and laughing. It is a pity other cousins can’t come. Even so, the whole place is so much noisier with my 4 nieces and nephews. Food is good, interaction is good, photo taking is good. Everything is good =) So let the photos talk.
The food brought by the aunties. It is a potluck session =)
Durian log cake. Christina bought it. It is yummy!
When the night is here… This is what ah ma had been seeing every night for the past many years.
Random photos.
My nieces and nephews. Kaitlyn (4), Kaedi (3), Kaiden (2) and Ashton (1). Aren’t they so cute!!
The KAY! W is missing, she is in scotland. So now KWAY has become KAY! And of course, some are timer-shot. And some are ‘scandalous’ shot with kenneth. Haha!
A couple of group photos of my aunties. They are told to ‘fall in’ and stand according to their ‘rank’. Haha! And of course, they took some ‘act cute’ photos. Lastly is a group photo of the female cousins around.
We left the place at 10 plus and by the time I reach home, is already 11pm. That is so late. It is my first time staying at ah ma house until so late. Usually by 9pm, I would have left the place. I came home, bathe and received many christmas wishes at 12mn. Merry christmas people!!! =)
Tomorrow is another day~~~
P.S. I really miss ah ma sitting at the arm chair and nagging at us. If not because of her departure, I think this gathering will be ah ma’s birthday celebration.

              Kite Flying at Marina Barrage!
I am going out today again! I did not have a good night sleep last night. I went to sleep with the lights on (again). In the middle of the night, I had a dream. It is not a bad dream or nightmare. It is an ordinary normal dream.
But who knows, the moment I going to wake up from my dream, some scene from the horror movie flash across and freak me out. I don’t dare to close my eyes after which. So I went to my mother’s room and run onto her bed. Daddy went to sleep in the living room. Mummy was ‘making’ me sleep. After about 30 minutes, I doze off and went to sleep.
P.P.S. NO MORE HORROR EVER AGAIN!
So in the morning, I wake up and get ‘questioned’. Mummy was asking me about what nightmare I had. Ah~ I don’t even know what is the problem with me. 2 days have past and I am still so scared of it. I did not watch the movie but I am freaking out for no reason. Damn it! PLEASE! Remove the fear and let me have a good night sleep.
At 12.30pm, I left house and went to meet up with justin. We are going out today. And, we are going to fly kite. Amazing! We met up at 1 plus pm because of my toilet trip. LOL! We went to get food from NTUC. Instead of getting bread or chips, we got 3 bottles of drink, 1 pack of sugared peanut and a box of chocolate biscuit.
OOT: Coincidentally, both of us wore abercrombie top.
Then we took 143 down to vivocity. After which, we took bus, change bus and get to marina barrage. There are many people there. Of course, photos and more photos took. We walk up to the top of marina barrage, find a spot and put our things there. Then it is kite flying time!
There are many people flying their kites too. We attempted to get our kites up into the sky. Thanks to the fact that neither of us knows kite flying, our kite did not stay in the sky for long. I think we need to learn and brush up our skills.
Photos of marina barrage.
Pictures from the top of marina barrage. It is a really nice view~
Look at the number of kites in the sky. I want my kite up there too =(
That is us and our kite. I have no idea how to set up the kite so it is justin doing all the job. All I do is take photo and throw the kite into the sky. Haha!
I wanted to take more photos with the nice background. But it started raining. So we went to the shelter and decided to have tea break at the gallery cafe. We shared a cake and a cup of chocolate drink. After which, we went to the sustainable singapore gallery. Well, if you go marina barrage, you must visit the gallery. It tells you everything about marina barrage.
Our tea break at the gallery cafe. Nice and really big chocolate banana cake. Yummy yummy!
That is us at the cafe. Comparing our face size and the cake, the cake is really big.
This is random, a picture of the toilet.
The sustainable singapore gallery. Here and there of the gallery. There are lots of things to see in the gallery. And there are many small small landscape model which is super cute.
In there, they will show you how marina barrage works. All the gates and everything.
The 9 amazing facts about marina barrage that is on the wall. Well, I only took pictures of it and I did not even bother reading it. Opps!
And that is us in the gallery. Right, they have this super big singapore mal on the whole floor. Justin found his home area, jurong west, and took a photo. As for me, there is no toa payoh but there is only ang mo kio. Er xin! There is no bishan too. So I took a photo with ang mo kio.
That is us taking photo with the words at the back. We took quite a number of attempt to take with the words together without blocking it.
Us and the nice nice view from marina barrage. It is all self taken photos. I don’t know why we didn’t ask other people to take for us.
After walking around marina barrage and taking many pictures, we took bus back to marina square. We are going to eat popeyes! We went to marina square, take photos, went to look for present for my two little fellow and head down to popeyes for dinner.
Today’s popeyes is super stuffy. I think their aircon is not strong enough. I am sweating like don’t know what while waiting for food. Today’s food is also ‘out of standard’. I think the mashed potato is too spicy. Luckily this isn’t the first time we am eating popeyes, else I don’t think I will patronize popeyes again.
The christmas decorations in marina square shopping centre.
We shared a meal and ordered mash potatoes to share. Well, he knows I can’t finish it and we are not that hungry.
Photos taken at marina square and on the bus.
OH yes! My poor mini tripod is spoilt. I am so sad!! =( No more tripod for me.
We took bus and head back to toa payoh. Then we took cab to my house downstairs while he continue his journey back home. My leg is breaking. The shoes is giving me so much pain and torture. I had to put 4 plasters on my feet and it is still hurting. Shucks!
I came home, as usual, bathe with all the lights in the house on. Then I went to wait for my hair to dry and went to my room to sleep. Instead of sleeping, I was watching television programme with mummy. After which, I went to sleep. I still can’t really get over the horror movie fear. =(
P.S. Thanks for getting me plaster and helped me when my leg is hurting.

Finally, I am not going out today!! Have been going out everyday.
I woke up in the late morning. I am super tired after all the running and limping yesterday. When I wake up, I started blogging and typing this super duper long entry with the photos. Wow~ Of course, I did went to nua as usual. I wonder what time will I finish blogging.
In the afternoon, it started raining. There is a super duper loud thunder and lightning. I totally freak out! OMG OMG OMG! I don’t dare to go and close the windows because the house is so dark. So I had to on all the lights. When will the fear go away?
Oh well! I am having pizza for tonight. Ah! I think I am really going to get fat after all these food and eating. I need to lost weight. Ah ah ah ah~~ Fats =(
