Meant to blog abt this party quite a few weeks back.. had been too busy with concert preparation that i had totally forgotten abt this.. plus i had absent mindedly loaded the photos on to the school computer.. haha..


organised a Halloween party for my class on the 31st of October.. requested the parents to dress their children for the occassion.. like what i had expected.. i got fairies.. super heros and princesses.. and i got them lotsa n lotsa of goodies for TRICK OR TREAT! the goodies filled up 2 entire baskets.. the children were so excited to see the goodies.. u could easily spot their best behaviour on that day.. wahaha..

played party games like freeze and pass the parcel.. haha.. played retro songs from my collection (contribution from Marcus).. wahaha.. wow.. the children LOVED it! they were dancing so enthusiastically.. and i rem one Taiwanese girl (Julia) who danced FANTASTICALLY well.. so freaking hip and could shake her bums really well.. haha.. yesh.. missed retro nights at DBL O (Marucs had been hinting that he wanted to go again).. cheers.. =)

Let the photos do the talking now!

My honour to take a picture the THAI PRINCE!

Here comes the FAIRY!

Superman was GEORGE!

I just love all these pictures that i had taken.. they were just so cute in their costumes.. other than that.. i reserve my comments.. cheers.. =)

hm.. no new challengers has volunteered to solve the imperfection of my blog.. well.. the wait shall continue.. cheers..

went out with my colleagues (Wahila, Jam, Lissa and Eleanor) on last evening for dinner.. Wahila suggested The Rice Table at Sun Tec City.. FANTASTIC! I love the Indonesia food at that resturant.. i had been there with CK & his poly classmates in Jan this year.. wanted to go back n try again.. but it just kept on forgetting abt it.. well.. this resturant is actually [All You Can Eat-Rijsttafel Set Dinner].. each person paid about S$23.40.. and it is free for children under 5 years old.. haha.. that means Maia and Jordan got a free meal each.. wahaha..

Our table at The Rice Table

The menu looks tempting.. and my mouth watered as i reminisced the dinner last night.. i rem there was a total of abt 20 dishes.. they will serve you white rice together with the dishes.. ALL the 20 dishes will be served at the 1st round.. subsequently.. you can add on those dishes that you fancy.. pros and cons for this idea.. for a first timer.. you get to try all the 20 dishes.. however.. it would be really wasteful if you dun take certain food and they still serve you like the rest.. well.. that depends on individuals.. hee.. cheers.. =)

The Vanda Staff - Jam, Eleanor, Lissa, Angeline (ME) & Wahila

checked the net for more info on this resturant.. there is another branch at Cuppage and International Plaza.. and decided to cut and paste the menu onto my blog.. simply to tempt those ppl who love good food.. (yes.. i am referring to u.. MARCUS & JOELLE).. wahaha..

Rudjak Manis = Fruit Salad
Sayur Lodeh = Vegetable Stew
Ayam Penggang = Grillled Chicken
Daging Rendang = Spicy Beef Stew

The table FULL of FOOD

MY FAVOURITE - TAHU TELOR

was a good dinner.. enjoyed myself thoroughly.. had a good chat with them.. of course when THE LADIES got together.. we can just go on yakking for hours.. plus the contagious laughter!! haha.. the children had their fair share of fun.. running in and out of the resturant throught the bamboo pillars.. playing catching and chasing each other run and run the place.. cheers.. =)

Wahila & I looked satisified after the BUFFET

yup.. abt the CONTAINER TRUCKS' CARPARK at East Coast Park.. i am simply too lazy to blog abt it.. maybe you can refer to Marcus's blog for the adventure.. wahaha.. thanks! **beams**.. gotta go to MacDonalds' at KAP.. craving for fries.. gng to drive over to get some for MYSELF.. (yes.. n put on more weight).. wahaha.. have a good day.. two more days to TGIF! (n my birthday too) cheers.. =)

[ nEwtOn cIRcUs + SinGaPOrE cHaNgI aIRpOrt ]

yeah yeah yeah.. i mangaged to add some photos onto the sidebar of the blog.. but strangely the alignment is off.. being a PERFECTIONIST.. i hate to observe that.. argh.. n my royal subject is unable to share this burden of mine (just kidding).. well.. i am looking foward to new and brave challengers at the moment.. wahahaha.. cheers..

its gng to be a short entry.. after i spent a good hour typing abt sat night.. n blogger 'refused' to publish the entry.. i lost the motivation to blog.. argh..

went out with CK, Marcus and Joelle to Newton Circus on sat night.. meant to take dinner together.. and i was craving for chicken wings (the funny thing was i didnt eat chicken wings that night).. the renovation for Newton Circus is completed.. and we had not been there to makan before (yes.. even before the renovation.. i mean the 4 of us).. might as well go n give it a try.. on the outlook.. the hawker centre looks more spacious.. ventilation is better.. it provides more tables in the open-space.. the lighting had improved as well.. less sweat while u enjoy the local delicacies.. cheers..

Courtesy from Marcus (HE did it)

and what else can u get at Newton Circus.. of course is the OVER-PRICED food.. serious.. as compared to Lau Pa Sat (we ate a few weeks ago).. we paid more here.. i wonder if this particular stall charges us more or the rest are equally pricey.. hm.. we ordered sambal stingray.. kailan in oyster sauce.. fried calamari.. braised tofu.. fried oyster & 3 cups of LARGE sugar cane drinks.. we paid a total of S$64.00.. that means one person paid S$16.00.. which is exactly S$6.00 more than what we paid at Lau Pa Sat.. and the amount of food is roughly abt the same.. but one thing i had to admit was that the sambal stingray had more flesh and it tasted good! too bad the sambal was not powerful enough.. to make me tear in joy.. grin..

will give other stalls a try another time.. because this time round.. i insisted on patronising the auntie with the 'bao zhar tou' (bombastic hairdo).. u can nv miss such a person.. she was simply eye catching with red and blue pens stuck among the 'bao zhar tou'.. haha.. when she takes order.. she just need to reach back and pull out a pen to write on the pad.. it was one sight that u can nv miss.. haha.. she actually walked past us three times before we got her attention.. when she finally noticed us.. she INSTRUCTED us to WAIT.. huh? nvm.. this is NOT the highlight.. she strolled over and shook hands with all the 4 of us.. and STROKED my HAIR??? huh?? what was that for? i dunno.. the 3 of them thought we were accquainted.. nah.. she sat down and joined us at the table.. started to chit chat with us.. wow.. the topic is 'touting'.. and she even cut out the newspaper article to show it to us.. i rem the conversation goes something like this, "Neh-neh.. u know who is this uncle right?" (she pointed to the picture.. there was this uncle wearing a yellow t-shirt.. okie.. i DUNNO).. **shaked head**.. CK was good.. diverted her attention and pushed her to introduce specialities to us.. okie.. she dun need a order pad.. she wrote our orders on the newspaper.. question mark.. question mark.. question mark.. nvm!

overall.. food was considered ALRIGHT (i prefer Lau Pa Sat).. still will go back again (provided i drive.. and someone is giving a treat).. haha.. yup!

i am running out of time.. will blog abt the ADVENTURE the 4 of us had at the CONTAINER TRUCKS' carpark another time.. hee.. tk care n let this greeting blows away ur monday blues.. cheers.. =)

Just finished my tuition.. most prob i am gng to nap till 6 plus after blogging.. feeling sleepy again.. hee..

went out to meet my financial advisor (Pauline.. CK introduced us) after work yesterday.. she HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that i surrendered my PruCash Policy asap.. because that plan doesnt suit my needs AT ALL.. it caters to ppl who have the spare cash to be involved in a 25 years MATURATION time span.. argh.. as a result.. i had to bear the lost of S$2,528.46.. FUCK IT! that is a HUGH SUM OF MONEY TO ME NOW MAN! especially when i need the cash to go for my Bachelor.. if Blogger allows me to type [FUCK IT] ALL OVER MY BLOG.. yes.. i will.. this policy doesnt make sense to me AT ALL after Pauline had explained the sums clearly.. y shd someone paid ard S$210.00 monthly to only get a sum insured of merely S$30,500.. whereas another insurance company is offering a monthy premium of $100.00 and the sum insured reaches as high as S$100,000.00.. if that eg is still not clear enough.. let put words in this way.. u can pay Insurance Comany ABC S$26.00 and they give u S$1000.000.. on the other hand.. Insurance Company XYZ collects S$8.00 from u and they return u S$1000.00.. if u pass KINDERGARTEN maths.. u shd be able to understand this simple concept.. FUCK IT!

ferget it.. i rather cut loses now than to punch in more money and SEE NO RETURNS.. because apparently.. i DO get some cash value by the third year (PruCash policy said so).. which is a pathetic sum of S$1500.00.. after the S$7500.00 that i had given them for the three years.. i rather lose S$2528.46 NOW.. and change my policy.. once bitten twice shy.. i will definitely be more cautious when i sign up for any new policy.. a gentle reminder to all my dear friends.. if u havent sign up for any insurance policy yet.. pls look for one that cater to ur needs.. and not one that will EAT u up eventually.. my best wishes.. =)

right.. money aside.. let talk about entertainment.. went out with CK, Marcus and Joelle to watch [Sinking of Japan] last night.. decided to go for the show at ard 7 plus..haha.. booked the tickets and met up ard 11 plus.. cheers..

The movie poster of [Sinking of Japan]

okie.. 3 stars for the movie.. i particularly enjoyed the graphics.. such a sight to see 'real-life' buildings collasping right in front of u.. the bonus was the chain explosion that broke off the plate.. (Marcus thought it was rather fake).. haha.. a geographical movie? most probabaly.. since i studied History when i was in IJ.. (so did Joelle.. we were in the same class and sat beside each other).. i didnt manage to understand some parts of the scientific explanations that were given by the mesy hair guy (okie.. apparently he acted as a smart-ass scientist).. hm.. n i agreed with the rest.. it was QUITE a 'draggy' movie.. right.. CK proposed that if u have the time to kill.. this movie will entertain u throughout.. cheers..

HOME-SWEET-HOME after the movie.. no plans for tonight yet.. maybe chicken wings at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 or Ba Chor Mee at Lorong 4? haha.. finally i am beginning to think of eating food.. Marcus showed me SUPER REVOLTING photogrpah.. it depicts a woman's breast being infested with maggots.. I SWEAR.. u can practically see the maggots in the holes of the woman's breast.. she had caught a rare South American/Africa (i forgot which is which) virus and the insect laid eggs on the bra that she had purchased.. the eggs hatched when she wore the bra.. and there u go.. the maggots grew in her BREAST.. making holes and eating away her breast flesh.. damn gross.. (i rem the story as such.. Marcus got a better idea of it.. ask him if u want to know more).. the thought of the photogrpah evokes puking instantly.. I AM SERIOUS.. well.. i didnt read the warning and i was happily eating a bar of chocolate when i saw the photograph.. i threw away the ENTIRE bar and went straight to PUKE.. there goes my lunch.. DAMN! sorry.. i dun have the URL to that website.. (pls contact Marcus for more info.. thank you).. wahaha..

I just got home.. sOOOOOooooooooooo tired.. but motivated to blog.. got lots of good shots to share.. cheers.. =)

CK & i checked in 1929 for a night stay to celebrate my birthday.. had been wanting to book that hotel.. but it is always FULLY BOOKED.. now i fianlly know the the reason.. NOT BECAUSE IT IS DAMN POPULAR.. SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS DAMN SMALL.. no rooms available if u book it at the last min.. chey.. i am not exaggerating at all.. the toilet is the most pathetic one i had ever came across.. to put it blantly.. I WILL NV PATRONISE IT EVER AGAIN..

THIS IS HOW 'BIG' THE TOILET IS!
Can u even see a space to SHOWER without knocking into the TOILET BOWL? ARGH!!!

great.. i was promised a balcony.. there was indeed one if u open the door.. to fit in two persons at a time.. overlooking NOTHING (okie.. i am being sarcastic.. not NOTHING.. but the ROAD and ROYAL PEACOCK).. the bill came to ard S$165.00.. my jaws dropped.. i rather pay that amt for Carlton.. oh ya.. i forgot to mention the COMPLIMENTARY breakfast! one quote from one of my best friend (Marcus).. 'chi bu bao.. you er bu si'.. one word to summary my stay = [ SUCK] !

OTHER than that.. everything else was FANTASTIC! recieved my 4th bouquet of flowers from CK.. till now.. i still dunno what was it.. i did ask CK.. but he told me it was picked from the rubbish bin.. and to make it more lame.. the name of the flower was 'La Ji Tong De Hua'.. it just happened so that there were 5 stalks in the bouquet.. to match his frequency.. i named each of them after the individual chinese word.. wahaha..

'La Ji Tong De Hua'

CK got a Green Tea cake & a bottle of Carbnet Sauvignon (red wine) for the celebration.. **yum yum**.. the red wine was [GOOD].. i mean really good.. the green tea cake tasted excellent **muacks**.. but we only managed to eat less than one quarter of it.. the rest were INFESTED with ants when we came back from our dinner.. argh.. such a waste! i love it! strong in green tea flavour.. doesnt taste that CREAMY (nauseous).. alright.. at least we ate some! **wink**

My 23rd GREEN TEA birthday cake!

Sing [Happy Birthday] to ME!

OF course i got my birthday presentS from CK too! YeaH! and MAYBE more to come? hee.. cheers.. =)

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

IT'S pouring BUCKETS now.. argh.. to think i just walked back from Tan Chong Motor along Dunearn Road.. and it was FREAKING HOT at that point of time.. which was barely half an hour ago.. damn.. the weather nv seem to go according to what u desire.. forget it..

went to the clinic last night.. there is a growth (DUNNO WHAT ####) in my right eye.. which gave me the feeling of itchy and painful.. and the eye was practically sore and red.. and the best thing was I WAS WEARING MY CONTACT LENS.. which doesnt seem to mk things any better.. no choice.. have to tahan all the way till i knocked off before i could go n see a GP..

told the GP about my eye condition.. (as well as my stomch probs.. which had been harassing me on and off).. examined the eye.. infection of the eye.. probably due to the haze.. n me wearing long hours of contact lens (i can wear contact lens to sleep).. haha.. he prescribed some anti-baterical ointment for me to apply on the affected area.. i was still thinking it was just some eye drops that could be easily squeeze into the eye.. NO! ITS NOT! IT WAS INEED OINTMENT.. sticky kind that could practically glue ur eyes together.. and they got stuck to my lashes as well.. argh.. looked exactly like those 'ba-sat' (direct translation from hokkien).. hate it.. i didnt succeed in the first time.. gave up and decided to go to SLEEP.. went to school the next morning.. got my director to help me.. haha.. in the end.. she was successful.. her daughter (Angelique used to have this prob.. and she had trained herself relatively well by now).. haha.. =)

met up with CK after his meeting last night.. since his meeting venue was at Paya Lebar.. we decided to meet at Outram.. easier for us to go to Chinatown to eat their famous porridge.. parked the car and were walking towards the place when we saw the EQUALLY FAMOUS chicken rice stall.. decided to go there instead (shorter walking distance).. WOW.. saw Joelle, Shawna and Wei Zhen there.. so ciao.. i didnt even notice it was them until i was right beside their table and they called out to me.. haha..

sat down to join them for dinner.. called Marcus to disturb him.. haha.. used Joelle's phone to call him n i answered the phone.. he was so surprised to hear my voice.. haha.. he still thought that we had arranged to meet up for dinner.. nah.. we didnt.. just fated to meet.. or i could also say that we were at the right place at the right time.. haha.

was given a MC.. but still decided to come to work anyway.. got stuff to do.. and it was Maia's birthday (Wa's daughter).. she wore a white gown for her birthday party.. n the mother invited the MacDonald's crew over with the goodies, food and games.. the cake was from e-creative (I RECOMMENDED that to her.. it is an online website that sells cakes and other celebration stuff.. for more information.. pls visit www.ecreative.com.sg.. thank you for your support..

I shall officically ANNOUNCE that Ms Angeline had finished her year-end reports.. wahaha.. i have been working on them for the past 2 to 3 weeks.. now that they are all completed.. i am ready to slack abit.. haha.. cheers to that..

let's start from sunday.. wanted to blog it down.. but i was too lazy n plus i need to relief for my colleagues who went on leave.. practically.. i have no time..

went over to CK's cousin's house at bishan on sunday night.. was quite a last min decision.. her name is Jessie.. she had a husband called Victor.. a son called Victor Junior.. n a daughter called Kelly.. haha.. junior is so CUTE & CHARMING & SHY & everyone i want in a GUY (too bad he is just 4 years old).. haha.. she rang CK in the evening to invite us over to her place for late night matches of the EPL.. y not.. since we are both 'free'.. hee.. drove over at ard 9.. WE GOT LOST.. not because i lost my way again.. someone else got HIS way.. and the parking at bishan is 'HORRIGBLE' (not english = my language).. we went round n round n round n round n round n round n round the CARPARK.. no empty lots.. argh.. tested CK's 3-pt turn.. well.. ITS GOOD.. much better than mine.. haha..

finally got a space at the multi-storey carpark at somewhere else (that means i dunno where).. haha.. this is my first visit there.. but i had met the family before.. but there were at least 4 families there.. haha.. n i LOVE the house.. it was dimmly lit.. with candles.. wow.. ROMANTIC eh.. the rest were cousin steve (wife with MIL).. and three pairs of neighbours.. that lives across her flat (Angela & Lum), beside her flat (Glenn & wife = at home) and above her flat (Paul n Bee Ling).. this is their so-called gathering cum parties.. the children will play in the playroom and the ladies will sit at the table n chit chat (gossip).. the guys will watch the EPL matches..

that night.. we opened a total of 4 bottles of red wine.. n i alone took about half a bottle.. n i need to drive home later.. haha.. we also went house-hopping to take a look at the neighbour's house decor.. i really LOVE it.. because all of them knocked down a piece of wall to combine two rooms n make way for my FAV WALK-IN.. haha.. **HINT HINT**

the night passed rather quickly and i had a fabulous time.. thanks to the man beside me (CK) n his cousins & neighbours.. cheers

now come monday's night.. day was the normal stuff.. WORK WORK N MORE WORK.. haha.. =)

went out with CK, Marcus, Joelle, Britez & Zhong He for midnight steamboat buffet at Bukit Timah (Xian De Lai).. one of my favourite place if i am looking for steamboat now.. highly recommended by Britez.. hee.. it is Shanghainese steamboat buffet.. so u can more variety of their local food.. like my favourites = Shanghainese Meat Ball.. Chives dumplings.. Shanghainese bean curd.. n they also provided everyone's favourite = MEAT BALLS.. beef fillet.. chicken fillet.. pork fillet.. glass noodles.. hand-made noodles.. hotdogs.. crabsticks.. lettuce.. white cabbage.. pork's liver.. n blah blah blah (the menu contained much more food that i can rem).. grin..

we ate from ard 12.00am till 2.30am.. 2 and a half hours of eating (some of us took intervals).. too stuffed!! n we ordered about 3 or was it 4 rounds of food.. talked n eat.. talked n eat.. talked n eat some more.. wahaha..

was deciding where to go.. when our taxi driver friend (Marcus.. because he knows the way damn bloody well) suggested driving over to Krangi Dam.. Britez and Zhong He decided to go pa tor by themselves (movie at Cine).. that fellow is able to give the direction.. and the exact route to take.. wahaha.. with him around.. it is kinda hard to get lost.. UNLESS u are in the jungle.. but no worries still.. my MAN read the map VERY WELL.. he can walk out of a forest given a map and a compass.. haha..

it was a LONG drive down to Kranji Dam (Dun ask me the route.. i was half-asleep most of the time).. all i can see when i opened my eyes was TREES.. TREES n MORE TREES.. n not forgetting to mention TOMBSTONES.. i vaguely rem we passed by Jalan Bahar.. Muslim Cemetery.. n the satellites .. no more..

WE reached the destination after nearly 45 mins drive.. indeed an adventure for me.. because i only go to places like Toa Payoh.. Bishan.. Commonwealth.. Town.. City Hall.. Bukit Timah in Singapore.. haha.. the dam was ALRIGHT.. i was promised a fantastic view and refreshing air.. i took a long look at Kranji Dam.. n that was it.. went home after that.. i was still thinking the FANTASTIC view means that i would get to see the dam that i saw on the movie 'Silk'.. nothing close.. but still ALRIGHT.. **shoot at Mr M**

CK parked the car here.. n someone else took the photo.. =)

oh ya.. we SAW MALAYSIA.. it was just across the dam.. n CK was so excited to annouce that piece of land opposite is MALAYSIA.. because we went to Kent Ridge Park.. he looked across and told me that is Malaysia.. we went to Labrador Park.. he looked across and told me that is Malaysia.. i nearly fainted.. although i am not a GEO student.. i still know my mapping relatively well.. grin..

time check = 6.40pm.. time for dinner.. i am hungry.. stomach doesnt feel too well.. must be something that i have eaten (but the question is because of today's brunch or last night's supper?).. doesnt matter.. it is still painful.. argh..

have a good week ahead to all.. cheers.. =)

[ LaU Pa SaT & sEntOSa ]

sunday morning.. yes.. its morning.. had a rough night.. didnt sleep much.. touched the bed at 4.. didnt fall asleep till 5.30.. n wake up almost every 45 mins intervals.. i guess i shd kick the habit of taking sat afternoon nap.. it is distorting my sleeping pattern on sat night.. sigh..

went out with CK, Marcus n Joelle last night.. we went over to Lau Pa Sat for our 'dinner' (practically it was only me taking the dinner dinner.. the pair took MacDonald's while they were mugging.. n CK took dinner at home).. i missed the calamari so much.. hm.. it was really yummy-licous.. haha.. and we were lucky to find a parking space the moment we arrived.. well.. the satay uncle sort of directed us to an empty spot.. but of course like wat Marcus had mentioned.. we are so-callled obliged to order satays from him later..

First couple of the NIGHT = Marcus & Joelle

Second couple of the NIGHT = ME & CK

ordered 20 sticks of satays (10 muttons & 10 chix).. I LOVE MUTTON!! ya.. FATTENING.. haha.. got the rest of the food from the chinese 'zi char' stall.. that included [sambal kang kong.. sambal stingray.. n 'tua tao' (aka mussels)].. no calamari.. was worried that we cant finish all much food.. the guys went to buy the famous 'tek terik'.. as usual 1 iced.. 3 hot.. haha..

Our 20 sticks of yummy-licous satays

the SAMBAL stingray is powerful.. really can 'fly'.. love the sambal.. not too spicy but the flavour is full.. **beam**.. the kang kong was alright.. BUT the 'tua tao' SUCKS.. pui.. in chinese.. we called it 'xing'.. so we asked the 'didi' who sold us the 'tua tao' to come over.. he explained that is the seafood taste of 'tua tao'.. the exact words shd be 'hai xian wei' (in chinese).. huh??? but the so-called 'hai xian wei' is so 'fan wei'.. **puke**.. then he offered to change this dish to something else for us.. n i cant resist ordering 'su-su' to try.. eating 'su-su' requires skills k.. it actually test ur 'sucking' skills.. haha.. similar concept to that of tying a knot on the cherry stalk.. we also decided to order the calamari as well..

'Hai Xing Wei' de 'Tua Tao' & Powerful Stingray & Okie Kang Kong

hm.. the calamari was not from the same stall.. we still prefer the 'authentic' calamari that we had tried before.. it was really good.. u can literally taste the butter as u bit into the fried squid.. but to be honest.. it wasnt that bad.. just that we are food connoisseurs.. haha.. 'su-su' were good.. i love SUCKING them.. haha.. (i can tie a knot on the cherry stalk).. haha.. Joelle had a hard time eating the 'su-su'.. she even resorted to using the satay sticks.. hm.. but not really successful.. Marcus used his teeth to eat the 'su-su'.. HE BIT THE SHELL AND BROKE IT.. so that he could take out the flesh and eat them.. huh??? he even jokingly mentioned that his mom gave him a set of teeth that can break anything except diamond.. haha.. impressive isnt it.. CK was doing well.. not much prob.. haha.. now we know we can do what.. grin..

Test of the NIGHT = See who can suck the most number of 'Su-Su'!

the 4 of us were deciding where to go after that.. brought the car for a wash along Telok Blangah Road.. hm.. Joelle suggested driving into Sentosa for a drive.. n some exploration.. y not.. bought drinks.. n we drove there.. usually entry to Sentosa costs S$2.00 per car & per pax.. so we were expecting to pay S$10.00 to get into Sentosa.. wahahaha.. FREE ENTRY in the end ah.. the uncle didnt ask us to stop n pay.. so we happily drove in.. wahahaha..

Marucs suggested gng to 15 degree or 1 degree or what was it called again.. erm....... i FORGOT.. haha.. but the view at the place is really breath-taking.. i had been there once with Marcus and his Air Force friends doing charity work.. the place has a fantastic view of the sea.. yachts.. and i think u can sit at the wooden platform and chit-chat (provided there is no one supervising u).. hee.. wow.. Marcus managed to guide us in the right direction.. n we could see the place already.. but damn it.. the security guard stopped us.. informed us in a no-nonsense manner that the place is out of bounds n asked us to go back.. shit.. no choice.. made a u-turn n went back.. drove around Sentosa to 'tou feng'..

walked along Tanjong Beach for a while (so quiet so quiet so quiet).. sat down at the pavilion to chit chat for a while.. i wanted to take photographs but was stopped promptly by Marcus.. he causally commented that u dunno who will appear in the photographs later.. touch wood.. so no photographs.. was sitting behind this couple.. that Joelle n i CANT SEE AT ALL.. but the guys could describe the clothes the guy was wearing n what was the couple doing (ONLY HUGGING.. they said no smooching).. not true.. i cant see a thing.. only palm trees on that little island in front of us.. chey..

drove over to the ferry terminal to look for the old muscial fountain.. didnt manage to see it at all.. my new pair of heels was killing me.. didnt really want to walk around looking for it.. plus it wun even 'dance' at 2 in the morning.. took some photographs of the NEW VIVO city from across the sea.. PSA (Port of Singapore Authority).. n the 'DA ZHONG LOU' at the ferry terminal.. i suddenly realised that we had visited two 'DA ZHONG LOU' in singapore within the same night.. haha.. so ciao..

VIVO city (Left) & PSA (Right)

2nd 'Da Zhong Lou' of the NIGHT

agreed to let Marcus drive the car for a while in the carpark.. ck sat beside him.. n the girls were at the back.. i think he got the kick out of it.. motivated to tk his class 3 after the short drive.. was pretty simple.. just driving in circles around the car park.. round n round n round n round n round n round.. k.. u got the idea.. wink..

sent everyone safely home before i could announce HOME SWEET HOME.. hee.. a good night with my closest people.. cheers..

no tuition all the way till dec.. now i can enjoy my sunday rotting at home.. haha.. have a good weekend to all.. cheers.. =)

[ 1 yEaR aNNiVeRsaRy ]

sat evening.. just woke up from my nap.. still feeling a bit sleepy.. i spent my whole day sleeping.. haha.. recharging after a week's work.. hm.. no idea where to go later.. still rotting at home.. oh k.. fine.. i shd have been more honest.. i am waiting for the car so that i can drive out later.. haha..

went out with ck to celebrate TGIF (i had suggested Pasta Fresca along Bukit Timah Road.. got the craving for the seafood soup).. n unintentionally our 1 year anniversary.. hm.. the exact date shd be today(21.10.06).. since i was quite stressed over certain work issues.. hm.. very tempted to open a bottle over dinner.. so we got for ourselves a bottle of white wine.. during the first toast.. ck mentioned 'after twevle'.. in words.. i would consider that was the celebration.. haha..

Elfo (Pasta Fresca's House Wine)

ordered our main courses as well (in the end.. i didnt order my soup.. haha).. the desgin of the menu had changed (more user-friendly.. it used to be quite messy and cluttered).. so did the servings.. it used to be super large that could feed almost two adults.. but not.. i think one serving is just right for a person.. however the prices went up.. isnt that strange.. i rem i paid ard S$10.90 for a plate of carbonara during my last visit.. now.. i am paying S$14.70.. but the taste remained quite the same.. therefore i am not really penalising that place.. after all.. i really enjoy the alfresco dinning..

CK was sipping the white wine while waiting for his FOOD

main course for ck loked superb good.. he ordered some sort of pasta stuffed with minced mutton.. cream base pasta.. it was one of the chef's specialties.. good choice.. because it really smelled, tasted and looked good.. haha.. in chinese.. they called it 'se xiang wei ju quan'.. haha.. my chinese improved!!! i ping-ed that out myself.. haha.. **beams**.. as mentioned above.. my main course was the TRADITIONAL carbonara.. haha.. but i love it.. n they gave me lotsa of bacons.. haha.. wow WOW wow.. fattening!!!

ME at Pasta Fresca (Bukit Timah)

chatted over dinner (ya la.. ya la.. i gossiped over dinner.. haha).. decided to do some marking (not that i really have a choice.. because i had to explain to mich the following morning).. gotta finish marking a 'O' levels pure chemistry paper 1 (luckily its MCQ.. if not i will really faint).. whose brain can really function after a good dinner and SOME wine.. haha..

ck read his notes (given by his BOSS.. haha).. happily chilling out.. and all of a sudden we heard a LOUD CRASH.. i swore it was LOUD lor.. concluded that it must be an accident.. and pretty near us.. since we can hear it so clear.. and the crowd began to gather.. almost everyone along that stretch of road turned their heads or walked towards the pavement to take a closer look.. of course ck n i went as well.. my gosh.. this is one of the worst car accident that i had ever seen.. looking at the impact.. i believed the driver was trying to make a u-turn(near 6th avenue).. he should have turned too fast.. n hit straight onto the trailer (i think that is wat it is).. wow.. the passenger's [cui ke].. really man.. the tyre rim was flatten and the driver could just hold it.. my goodness.. windscreen also gone.. the engine also GONE.. (that means $$$$$ also gone).. but LUCKILY.. the driver was fine.. he looked fine.. but i think just shaken by the impact of the accident.. anyone would be.. the ambulance and the police came and didnt leave until 11 plus.. i rem the accident took place ard 9 plus.. the whole stretch kena traffic jam for the whole time that i was there.. my goodness.. one good thing.. but the time ck n i were abt to leave.. the traffic is much better.. so no effect on us really.. phew..

hm.. as i was typing this blog.. i was making plans for later.. so i am heading to Lau Pa Sat (i think that is how it is being spelled).. haha.. with ck, marucs and joelle.. after that.. we will decide later.. haha.. have a good weekend.. cheers..

took some photos of Gwendolyn drinking my milo yesterday afternoon.. made myself some milo to keep myself awake while i did my late duty.. haha.. lyn lyn saw it and sat down happily beside me.. she pointed to herself n said, "I also want." so i walked to the kitchen n got her a cup too.. because the milo was so hot.. she kept blowing it.. haha.. so funny.. then she used her tongue to test the temperature.. before drinking it.. she was so happy after that.. she told me, "Lyn Lyn likes milo."

overslept today.. so took a cabby to work.. walked out to the main road to get a cab.. then i saw this MPV cab.. i was thinking whether it will stop if i flag for it.. haiya.. anyway i just tried.. wow.. it really stopped.. haha.. was a bit hesistant to board.. first of all.. it was a 7 seater MPV.. and there is only one ME.. haha.. i definitely dun need a MPV.. haha.. and i was thinking if the fare will be very expensive.. hm.. but no choice.. the uncle stopped right in front of me already.. so i boarded it.. cheers..

the uncle told me that he had chauffeured me before.. i was like "HUH?".. i dun even rem who is who.. haha.. i was very surprised.. but he was right.. he was able to tell me the exact location and the building that i was gng to.. totally amazed.. haha.. n i really the smell of a new car.. so niceeeeeee.. hee.. and the seat is really comfortable.. and HIGH.. i like the feeling.. hee.. the uncle also told me there are many other functions for the MPV.. haha.. impressive isnt it.. its must be my lucky day.. =)

sunday evening.. waiting for my turn to shower.. take the opportunity to blog.. hee.. =)

just came back from IMM.. brought Alpha out.. he arrived at my place as early as 11am.. my goodness.. i just woke up when he came knocking at my door.. hm.. and as i blog earlier in the day.. he was harassing me.. asking me to let him play computer games.. haha.. after he played for a while.. he took lunch and continued to harass me somemore.. haha... i dun want to babysit on sunday.. i have practically 9 children to myself almost everday.. sat n sun are strictly reserved for the adults.. haha.. so i managed to coax him to take a nap while i did my reports.. good.. at least i got two hours of peace to myself.. managed to finish one report in the end.. promised him that i will bring him out after his nap.. so i took a quick shower and got changed.. cheers..

drove over to West Coast Park.. went to the Mac's Drive-Thru service.. and got him a Happy Meal.. for being such a good boy.. hehe.. he wanted the toy n insisted on a green balloon.. alright.. since he is being such a good boy.. got him both.. and he was eating quietly at the back seat.. i guess he was hungry after all.. he took lunch ard 1pm.. ya.. hungry liao le.. haha.. fetched my dad.. n met up with mummy at IMM.. =)

Alpha saw this whole row of machines.. hm.. those white white one that u turn it.. a ball with goodies in it will roll out.. dunno what the hack is that call.. he saw it and wanted it again.. i think it must be me.. i brought him to IMM last sunday n brought him two.. so in the end.. he kept on asking my daddy for two.. opps.. next he saw children riding on animals (those hairy hairy battery operated moving animals/machines?).. in the end my daddy paid two bucks for him to ride ard.. but he was scared to do it alone.. dragged my daddy to sit together with him.. haha.. quickly flashed out my camera n took some snapshots.. he doesnt really like the camera.. no idea y also.. hm..

Daddy helping Alpha to move ard the area.. =)

Alpha concentrating hard in 'drifting'?

went to eat dinner at Kopi Thiam (2nd level).. then Alpha asked to sit on the MOVING ANIMAL again.. argh.. no idea y.. i dun see the big thrill in riding those animals.. so celine n i went walking ard IMM.. targetted The Face Shop.. we actually spend close to 20 mins browsing thru the items.. in the end.. i settled for a stick eye shadow (it's white) n a green tea fine facial foam.. celine got for herself three facial masks.. we did this while Alpha rode on the animals.. haha.. at least my parents are taking care of him for the time being.. seems like they are having a good time too.. =)

Got this from The Face Shop's webby.. smart eh..

left promptly after that.. as Alpha still needs to go back to mama's house.. (he returns to his paternal grandmother's house on sunday night.. so we have to send him back in time).. vroom..

a peaceful sunday.. reports down! 2 more to go! jia you! hehe.. gng to shower n meeting Mr Zhou after that.. night all.. cheers.. =)
