[ LcI GaTheRIng oN 21 dEc 2007 ]

WARNING!!! This entry would be flooded with photos which means Angeline can write lesser! Horray!

Angeline met up with LCI coursemates (Hannah & Sat) for project meeting at Marlinda's house, located at Blk xxx Jurong West Central 1 #xx-xxx. We agreed to meet at 10.00am SHARP, so that we could have ample time to finish our project before heading to Sakura for our Christmas dinner. Angeline was very very very excited about it! In case you are confused, allow me to emphasize that Angeline is ONLY excited about the Sakura BUFFET dinner. Woohoo!

Sat, Hannah & Angeline arrived ONLY 15 mins after 10.00am (which is considered a miracle, as Angeline is seldom so early for being late.) Not wanting to waste any more time, we started the assignment right away! Marlinda was the online resource manager, Sat was the journal researcher, Hannah was the IT supervisor and Angeline was the powerpoint coordinator.

Our Messy Table - Laptops, wires, notes, journals, tibits & drinks.

Angeline's motto: WORK hard and PLAY hard! Indeed, indeed! By noon, the assignment is 3/4 completed. Yippie! After WORKING, Angeline declared that it was time to PLAY! First thing first, LUNCH! Marlinda served us with her home-cooked prawns noodles. Yum-Yum!Angeline likes!!!

Sat had kindly offered to wash the dishes, while Marlinda kept her laundry. Hannah helped to rinse the grapes for desserts. Angeline leh? OH! She was busy taking photos of her friends and herself (FINE!). Therefore, she contributed in a way. IF NOT, there would be NOTHING for you to read now! Humph!

Sat - 'Maid'

Marlinda - 'House Keeper'

Hannah - 'Server'

Angeline - 'Photographer'

*DRUM ROLL* PRESSIEZ TIME!!!

The 4 of us had drawn lots to determine who would be getting pressiez for who. Initially, it was meant as a secret. BUT, Hannah and I managed to decode successfully! Fa-La-La-La-La La-La-La-La!

Back to WORK again! *yawns*

Right! We were all woken up (totally) by the little shock we discovered. This project required us to include at least 8 journals. Unfortunately, we only had 5 till then. Marlinda and Hannah began to source for more e-journals while Sat continued to read more journals from the booklet. Just in case, you were wondering that Angeline was slacking again. She was kept busy graphing the statistic for the number of divorce cases in Singapore from 1996 to 2006. This was what Angeline called 'Teamwork'! By 1700 hrs, the project was 100% completed and ready for presentation!

NOW! Angeline proudly declared it was time to RAID SAKURA!

Under someone's recommendation (Angeline really forgot who), we had decided to try the branch at Jurong West Sports Complex. Anuar (Marlinda's hubby) drove us there. 4 famished women and 1 starving man! Woohoo! Lucky us or unlucky Sakura?

Of course, there were MORE food than the ones Angeline has taken. Angeline admits that she loves to eat, BUT that doesn't mean she will eat ALL the food she sees! Maybe!

This entry literally ends here. The 2 photos below are just Angeline cam-whoring in the toilet. Yes! Angeline loves herself too much!

It is the TIME of the year again. HORRAY! I am referring to my favourite Christmas - shopping, gatherings and all the parties!! Therefore, I shall officially declared that I AM BROKE! Please kindly contribute to Angeline's Festive Fund if you have a heart! Fa-La-La-La-La-La!

Finally, the 3 of us (Ange, Luan & Cin) managed to meet up after countless sms-es to confirm the date, time and venue. *phew*

Marina Square @ six-thirty! I proposed an exotic Thai dinner at Lerk Thai. Tom Yum soup, Kai Lan, Green Curry Chicken & Mixed Seafood with Basil Leaves with steaming HOT rice filled our tummies for the night. A very satisfying meal!

After dinner, Cin didn't proposed, but INSISTED to go the Chocolate Bar at Esplanade for a cup of HOT CHOCOLATE. Bo bian one leh?

Luan, Ange & Cin at the Chocolate Bar!!

Ange, Luan & Cindy at the Chocolate Bar??

I was getting excited about the gift exchange and hinted to the girls that it was time to get to it! Yippie! We tried to draw lots, but to our ultimate disappointment, one of us kept getting back our own name. Bad choice! We decided to change tactics, if not we would be stuck here all NIGHT! In the end, we used the most traditional way of "Lom-Jiang-Pass" (the spelling is definitely WRONG!). I got Cin's present, Cin got Luan's present and Luan got ...'s present. Please don't tell me you can't figure it out. Even if u can't, please don't ask me and pretend that you know.

Cin's Present (I got it!)

The star of the night was the HOT CHOCOLATE! The photos are with Cin, I wonder when will I recieve it? She told me either today or tml. Today is OUT? Maybe tml then? *shrugs*

Allow me to explain why the HOT CHOCOLATE was the highlight. Because YOU can to mix the drink YOURSELF! The bar provides you a candle, with a chocolate stand, a spoon cum straw, a plate of chocolate chips and a mini jug of milk. Then you just pour the milk and add the chips according to your own preferences. That is what I did! So proud of myself. Okay! I admitted that Cin HELPED!

I think it was side effects from drinking the SWEET SWEET chocolate. The 3 of us got very hyper-active and started to cam-whore in the bar. Due to the dim lightings, the photos were not very sharp. But WHO cares? We had enjoyed ourselves as we bitched, cam-whored and slurped on more HOT chocolate (because it was really really sinfully yummy!).

I don't know what went wrong with Cin?

Ange's Garfields Smile!

Pouting Queens goes to US!

WE don't want to eat Luan's fist!

Ange is really very blessed with good friends. =)

P/S: I will update about the presents when Christmas is OVER. I want to open all the presents only on Christmas morning! YIPPIE!

[ 10 nOvEmbEr 2007 ]

Angeline turned 24 on 10 November 2007 and she spent 3/4 of the day sleeping. I guess this is what happened what you get older. Ha!

I met Ck in the evening for Ben & Jerry's ice-cream and a movie at Great World City. There was no birthday cake for me this year because Ck couldn't take eggs (he is now a vegeterian on 1st and 15th of the lunar calender) and my birthday fell on the 1st of the lunar calender. Was I upset or disappointed? OF COURSE NO! I got my favourite Ben & Jerry's ice-cream in exchange. I was definitely more than willing!

I wanted to order a Banana Sundae (3 scoopes) since there were only the 2 of us. Ck suggested ordered the Merlionster (6 scoopes) and ensured me that we would be able to finish it without fail. True to his words, he indeed ate ALOT to finish it! Hee! I forgot the names of the 6 scoopes of ice-cream that we ate. Angeline ONLY have 64MB so she could ONLY remember Strawberry Cheesecake because she liked it the best!

My 'Birthday Cake'

Attack!

YUMMY!

Almost there!

The Last Bit

Ck never fails to make my day so special for me. Although HE doesn't read my blog, I will still like to say *thank you* to him. *Muacks*

Talking abt the movie, Ck chose [The Bee Movie] for the night. ABSOLUTELY A WRONG CHOICE! Gosh! I could have fallen asleep anytime in the cinema. The plot is LAME to the core and I couldn't help yawning most of the times. I strongly DISENCOURAGE everyone to watch the movie unless you REALLY REALLY REALLY don't know where to spend the money. When we were walking out of the cinema, I asked Ck, "Dear, you like the movie?" To which he replied, "SO LAME!" And I was thinking, "Your choice leh!" Ha! But I still love him all the same!

I would like to say *thank you* to all my friends for your presents and birthday wishes. Although I would really like to take pictures of all the presents, I am really lazy to do it and there really wasn't a lot to start with. But I am still grateful to all of you. How about a verbal description? *ahem*

Ck - Samsung U700 & a Bouquet of Tulips
Eton Colleagues - S$50.00 Zara Voucher
LCI coursemates - Victoria's Secret Skin Care set
