the days

17th apr '07

had cca drive duty before heading down to meet the long lost pri 6 clique at cityhall.. although its far frm the full class tt turned up, having a gathering aft 6 long yrs was something i really looked forward to.

the ppl who turned up was xiaoyan, tovia, rachel, peili n me!

we had dinner at newyork newyork.. the music is fab, the ambience is fab n naturally, the menu is fab! u feel like eating everything just by the descriptions alone.. n the deserts r amazing. also, they gave us free apple-flavoured cotton candy tt is a brilliant shade of green. wanna bring zest here someday.. imagine, GREEN candy floss?! the only downside was we got rather awkwardly shaped tables which made conversations rather hindered.



at NY NY with our green cotton candy..

anyway, rach n xiaoyan was really sweet going to queue for the free ben n jerry ice-cream n carry the whole melting cup back to me at citylink mall frm suntec.. n its choc flavour too!!! ^^

aft eating we headed down to bugis for neoprints n cam-whoring!! while we were trying to find kind souls to take pics for us, we met another pri 6 classmate, yu shao!! if i rmbr correctly, i tink he used to sit beside me coz his name like damn familiar. lol. so qiao rite??



outside levis.. this shot was taken by yu shao..



frm left: tovia, peili, me, rachel n xiaoyan

thanks dearies for making tt thurs such a memorable one.. =D

18th apr '07

went for SIAS research talk at dance@moberly aft sch.. the turn out was not bad despite alvin only putting up posters the day before.. didn't wait till the end of the talk before going to pei jessica at the cca booth n going off to meet the boyfriend at tampines..

aft meeting him, we went to cineleisure to hang out at tt 24 hr cafe with a mega ice-cream sundae.. lalalala~



the ice-cream sundae obviously looks waaay more tempting in person lah. its 6 scoops big!! n the strawberry centre is the largest scoop. heehee!

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY JIAJIN!!

21st apr '07

spse had an east coast recee trip for the FO. the committee turn out was pretty bad coz a total of 9 ppl who promised to come MIA at the last min. anyway, we did the best we cld n i finally satisfied my bedok chwee kueh craving. lol.



frm left: liang ying, me, xueqin n huixian



everybody looks busy while i look blur.. haha.

the games were pretty confusing with all the hand gestures n stuff but better than our previous games. afterall, tis is of spsu standard n kinda on the xiong side. haha. sorta lost my temper on the boyfriend coz when everything ended n we were proceeding for lunch, he was still at hm. but the anger subsided really soon coz he cabbed down in less than 15min.. muz praise for effort ma. haha.

aft lunch, we all headed to the big arcade above burger king to play games n he tried to kiap the stitch toy for me again.. *touched* dun be disheartened yeah?? practise makes perfect. =P

soon aft, we went to parkway where he bought me my scoopz ice-cream. double scoop! strawberry plus cookies n cream!! yum yum. =) in return, i brought him to the club for dinner.. as usual, the palms was packed since its buffet saturday.. we hung around at the air-con toilet, the arcade, the bowling alley n the kiddy playroom till our seats were ready.



being seriously overaged matured, there was nothing we cld do but play with our marvellous handphones. XD



dessert at palms where he 'stole' the largest strawberry frm the cake for me!

1) smiling at the big strawberry..
2) trying to look erotic while eating the strawberry. hahahaha...
3) dropped cream on the seat.
4) OOPS!!
5) hurriedly cleaning it up..
6) director n actress runs away n hv a fling.

hahaha.. the above scenerio was entirely coincidental. n he got rather excited aft hx taught him how to use the storyboard function in his phone. hehe..

it was kinda weird to bring a pail into palms but we were inappropriately dressed anyway.. dinner was a leisurely affair as the darling nv fails to let his cuteness amuse. on our way hm, the bus passed by tis really cool night spot facing the kallang river (i tink). wanna go there again someday. *hint hint*

reached hm n we went to the park to chat. there, i succeeded in burning a hold in the pail i used to cover the blinding spotlights. haha.. talk abt hot!

23rd apr '07

sch was a bore.. thankfully i got to meet him aft sch. he said he missed fc6 food but other than nuggets there was nothing left for me to bring back at 5pm. anyway, the nuggets r really nice.. only less nice aft it becomes cold n soggy.. but its still the gesture of buying tt matters most k?? haha.

met up with him at the mrt stn for bubble tea, dinner, a walk at sun plaza park n of course, my long awaited trip to ikea!!! i nv get sick of ikea for some reason.. their furniture is just sooo beautiful n i can spend a whole day there just browsing.. *gushes*

anyway, the purpose of me going there is coz mommy hinted tt we wun be moving house anymore. so i was there to look at loftbeds coz i seriously wanna makeover my bedroom to accomodate a study area. also, I WAN PINK WALLS PLEASE!! ^^

24th apr '07

had a damn serious n boring meeting with william, liying n mr ong today. it dragged really long n by the time i got back to tamp, night has fallen.. anyway, i managed to get his 7th mth anniversary gift done. happy happy.

was also really pleased tt he got all worried bcoz i nv reply his msg n haven reached hm yet. i muz be perverted coz i like it when he worries for me. it somehow gives me a loved feeling.. so whenever he appears nonchalent with matters regarding me, i start to tink too much n misunderstand him as not caring anymore.. anyway, the fact remains tt he was worried n tt made me feel like i really matter.

to the person whose life i make beautiful: i love u.

25th apr '07

had overseas itp briefing aft fire drill which was absolutely sucky. as in aft braving the burning heat at the stadium, we tottered back to a freezing LT, sit through 2 hrs of study tour talks to exotic, foreign locations only for 5 min worth of info on the overseas itp. of which they just told us to look out for posters in the upcoming wks. bahx.

went down to bugis to meet up with ting n loti to return ting her mp3 player.. chatted while drinking bubble tea before heading back to tamp to meet the boyfriend. was supposed to be hm early but ended up breaking curfew yet again so we cld hv our alone time. *giggles*

he brought me to the romantic restaurant, terminal, at the changi jetty which darren recommended. the place is really awesome.. the food is pretty cheap n u hv an unblocked view of the sea n pulau ubin. not forgetting the flickering lights n love songs serenading us.. as it was a wkday evening, the place was kinda empty too.. perfect. =)



our food... nice nice hor? my set is on the left.. his is on the right.



the flowers i bought for him frm the bazaar in sch.. who said flowers r only for girls?? tis is really cool.. the flowers r hand folded n there is even fibre optics strips of light.. preeeety...

wat started out as a dozen roses became 11 while we were busily tickling each other. oh wells, he said 11 meant "ur my one n only". =)



my love.

aft dinner, we took a slow walk around the beach before heading back to changi village for teh tarik!

pulau ubin

14th apr '07

zest, serkee, desmond, jess, darren n me met up at changi village for breakfast of famous wanton noodles n nasi lemak before boarding the rickety old sampan towards the island of pulau ubin!



on the boat towards the island!!



we hv embarked!!



we found a captive "wild boar".. notice its similarities with zest n desmond?? =P



we found a secluded beach off the beaten track. where outbursts of creativity struck us hard. wat can i say? we r all models in the making... hehe.



whee~ cycling is fun.. n the bumpy slopes nv make my butt hurt leh. qi ji..



us n the bicycles resting at some ulu hut bcoz of the rain. we were accompanied by some rather ill-fated mosquitos who died at our mercy. who ask them to decide to feed on our blood instead of just peacefully hiding frm the rain?! if we had wanted to "donate" blood, we wld hv done so at a blood donation bank n not in some old hut. sk was the pro-est! although i got bitten alot of times, she saved me frm many more although i didn't like getting slapped by her. haha. wat started as mutual elimination of mosquitos became a competition to rid the world of these pesky insects. lol.



wishing well..



at the end of the cycling route.. stylish ba...



toilet fun!! suprisingly, the sanitation on tis rustic island is pretty good.



the sun, the sand, the sea n an afternoon with the love of my life. wat more can a girl ask for??



isn't tis the coolest?? we saw tis just was we were departing the island. as if someone just got enlightened!!



aft a day in the sun, we headed down to marina bay for steamboat. the food was scrumptous although it looks kinda bad here.. however, tis is the only pic i shall post of our dinner as i tink we all look unglam in the other shots be it posed/unposed n i dun like ugly pics.. =(



grp pics to round off tis entry.. frens forever!! =D

last wk of hols

9th apr '07

met up with xinyu, haz n maz at vivo to catch the 3D version of meet the robinsons!! it has been ages since we met up n for once haz was early!! *pops champagne* the movie was nice in a cartoonish sci-fi sorta way abt the future in wildly exaggerated colours. n the characters all had individualistic personalities tt made it a joy to watch (esp the singing frogs!) gv even provided us with 3D goggles which made me giddy during the part with tons of floating bubbles. haha..



our tickets!!

aft the show, we shopped around n gossiped alot (abt haz's new target. *ahem*) before i had to leave to meet jj n ting at marina sq. for once, i was the latest.. oops.



xinyu n me captured on cctv at toys 'r' us.. ^^

met up with them at the marina sq foodcourt with the amazing esplanade view.. chatted for hrs abt boys in general. like duh?! n was entertained with our typical 'ur-a-bimbo-and-i-am-not" type of conversations. lolx. as luck had it, we even met a v plus-sized ahmad with his gf. haha..



jj n ting in the toilet!



jj n me.. sian, my hair really dun look rebonded!! 2 days only, curl until like tt liao.



say cheeeese!

aft taking pics in the icky toilet full of baby roaches, we left for hm. n my protective boyfriend tinks going hm at 11.30 pm is too late for me. hahaha..

10th apr '07

i cooked coz zest was coming by for dinner. awww... the princess actually stepped into tt stiffling kitchen, risked getting burnt n slaved over the stove for 2 whole hrs! talk abt being in love. hehehe..

the menu:

• steamed rice
• sweet and sour sotong
• stir-fried chye sim
• yellow onion egg omelette
• herbal chicken soup

the ingredients..

i planned the entire dinner with the exception of the double-boiled soup. hey, before i learn to fly, muz learn how to crawl first rite? XD

cooking is a physically taxing job. esp the preparing part.. thanks goodness i didn't hv to wash-up!! wahahahaha...



my maid is sooo hard to please. she didn't allow me to stop chopping the garlic until the pieces were so tiny!! even though my hand started to stink n the garlic juice was tearing up my eyes, she hard-heartedly refused to take over. *sulks*



EVIDENCE OF MY LABOUR!! looking so aunty-ish n unglam. haiz..



getting ready to spar with my bro aft he took unglam shots of me. tis gave him another opportunity to capture a retarded me with my round TUMMY!!



the final product..

my cooking doesn't look half tt bad right? i tink it tasted ok except the egg which had too much onion. tts is not my fault coz the maid gave me wrong measurements. *grins*

mommy: 6.5 pts
alisa: 7.5 pts
brian: 10 pts (he is such an adorable dearie!)
zest: 8 pts.

see, i passed with flying colours!!! whee~

aft dinner, we all proceeded to do our various things. zest n me headed to my bedroom to play truth or dare jenga. i kenna a 'truth' n he got my dare of performing a ********** to jessica simpson's public affair. its was hilarious, i tell u. =P



my baby's on the phone neglecting me again!! n he act cute so i wun get angry. haha.

11th apr '07

went to sch early in the morn to meet mr ong abt spse's credit pt claiming thingy. was sorta upset tt despite taking leave to spend time with me, the boyfriend nv accompany me down to sch. aft sch, i went to meet him at somerset n the marvellous boyfriend was waiting there with his usual goofy n endearing grin, my fav cologne smell n a bouquet of SUNFLOWERS!! *whoots*



he claims tis is the BIGGEST sunflower available in the shop. n tt girls stared at him when he was on the mrt. wahahaha.. i bring envy. =P

note: to guys who nv seem to get why girls go all goo-goo-gaa-gaa over flowers (which all die eventually), i'm here to clarify. girls adore not the flower itself but rather the gesture of getting. its the tingling sensation she experiences while receiving tt brings on the smiles. even if u gave her just a simple $1 stalk of rose, she'll still gush all over u. tis feeling of happiness will last the whole day as she prances around town with u on her right n the flowers on her left. the difference in the size of flowers is only noted on special occasions (esp vday!!) where girls r out in full force draped with flowers. isn't it human instinct to wanna compare n obviously win? at the end of the day, which girl doesn't like pretty things? =)

he said the flowers were a belated 6th mth. how charming is tt?? he then brought me to cineleisure to hv sushi buffet at suki sushi. i had rounds n rounds of salmon sashimi n had fun trying to conceal/hide/dispose the rice part of the sushi we didn't eat. but still, we ate for a grand total of 4hrs till i nearly burst! however, we still managed to smile for the cam while our poor stomach digested..



us. i do look happy right?? its the flower theory.. =D



NONONONO!!! haha.. kinda forgot why i was shaking my head.. lol.



we kept taking pictures, coz we were already super full. but buffet being a buffet might as well sit till the end!? haha. kiasu singaporeans!



chef joy's creation, vegetarian yakitori!
healthy celery combination on a bed of shreded cucumbers topped with a generous helping of our famous terriyaki sauce. served warm on a nice yellow plate. :D

in the middle of everything, i suay suay got stomach cramps n made him all worried n flustered. at least he rmbred carolyn's advice of warm drinks n got me a piping hot milo while remaining unbearably concerned n sweet throughout my period of grouchiness.. =) he even talked to the arcade machine: "my girlfriend is having cramps pls let me get tt plushie." while he attempted to catch tt lilo n stitch soft toy for me.

aft eating, we went shopping before boarding bus 36 to suntec for our movie, sunshine. tis movie was sponsored by mommy dearest. the show was pretty gd.. not my usual type of movie choice but the plot was fab although i felt the climax came too late n the ending was not v happy. yeah, the mission to "save the sun" was successful but there was supposed to be some lovey-dovey bits for girls like me who only watch it coz our bfs wanted to watch it. haha.

some scenes were bloody n others were downright frightening. wats with the stabbing, blowing up, burnt flesh, eerie noises n yanked off arm?! G-R-U-E-S-O-M-E! anyway, we gotta sit in eng wah's ultra comfy $38 director sofa seats for more then half the show before we were being shoo-ed back to the ordinary row by spotcheckers. anyway, the guy who caught us, allowed us to sit in the couple seats although our tickets only entitled us to the single seats. =)

aft the movie, we went to sit by the fountain of wealth until it was time to head hm.

i sooo dun look nice in tis. my eyes r so small!! its v paiseh to stand outside a shop n take pics hor.. so didn't wanna retake until it was perfect. but i'm still posting tis coz the darling personally directed tis shot n he hand-drew the red circle n arrow.

12th apr '07

bummed around at hm till it was time to bring the best mommy on earth out for dinner. treated her to cafe cartel at tampines n daddy missed out on the treat. his daughter's first paycheck n he had to wrk late. haiz.. =(

speaking of paycheck, i was expecting something more in the lines of $700 for my 3-day stint with mc2 at the suntec IT show. but they underpaid me coz apparently, some of my deals made losses or so they claimed. anyway, can't complain much coz $510 for 3 days is still pretty impressive. some ppl made losses waaay more than me so i shld just count my blessings.

13th apr '07

the boyfriend called really early in the morning to say he is feeling lazy for wrk. i dismissed it as just ramblings n tt he wld still go to wrk. a couple of min later, he called again to ask if he can come by my place just to sleep. i automatically assumed tt his popping by was gonna b at a much more decent time hrs later so i went back to sleep. less than 30 min later, the doorbell rang. the boyfriend arrived at 8am.

his reason to his boss: not feeling well.
his reason to me: he is not feeling well coz i'm feeling deprieved n he is here to care for me.

i couldn't help smiling when i heard tt. haha.. plus, his day was dedicated to pleasing me. wat more can i ask for??

background info on why i was feeling "deprieved": i got upset the night before coz he went clubbing w/o me. n somehow made me feel unwanted in the process..

the wedding bash

8th apr '07

went with mommy to orchard area early in the morn n got into a little trouble with the empress dowager due to my v fussy eating patterns. aft getting her all angry, we settled on pizza at DOME cafe at lido. there, i ordered a triple iced chocolate beverage with additional belgium choc gelato just to spite her tt i wasn't gonna make a concious effort to lose weight. lol.. tts me, forever childish.

but like all girls, a little pampering at the salon will lift all sorta moods. aft sitting on tt chair for 4 whole hrs, numbing my butt n getting my hair washed 5 times, i left tt far east plaza salon with softly rebonded tresses tt strongly reeked of chemical n a happy mother with her head full of curls.

since we spent longer than expected with sunny, the stylist, we needed to rush hm to get dressed for the wedding of some uncle of mine. anyway, tis wedding was a v elab affair as the couple booked 65 tables at shangrila hotel. mommy says each table average at abt $1k.. the young couple muz be soo loaded. anyway, both of them r frm the s'pore navy so they had the sword parade thingy preluding their entrance. plus, all the guests were dressed to the nines. the women wore sweeping gowns n the men wore tuxs. damn cool.. but they made my prom dress seem rather shabby. =(

me: arrgghh, i look fat in tis dress!!!!!!!
dar: no, u look shapely.
me: yeah, circle is a shape.
dar: o_0'''



whimsical us.. =D



pre-dinner reception outside the island ballroom.. otherwise known as cocktail party..



inside the ballroom where the waiter gave me red wine (just like a REAL adult! well, i'm legal afterall).. we were seated just nxt to the red carpet, at table no. 35. so we had a full view of all the proceedings n cld even clearly see the heart-shapped confetti scattered all over the floor aft the new couple walked down the aisle. =) there were also fab door gifts. some had a pair of forever friend wedding bears n others had a box of soap roses. sweeeet..

unlike when i wrked in banquet, normal tables in tis case hv their food portioned out for them too. the food is also nicely decorated before being presented. n i got ONE WHOLE ABALONE to myself!! n since 3yrs ago, i hv abstained frm sharksfin soup. likewise tis yr, i only included tt pic to show the poor murdered shark.



tis is the evil glare olivia gave to ppl who drank sharksfin soup. n she managed to get 4 ppl to stop drinking. tt is on top of me n angelica.. haha.. plus ppl who drank were dissuaded frm getting 2nd helpings.. so i tink our table sorta hv alot of leftovers. =P



banquet servers with their high-split skirts..



the soldiers in their white glory!! complete with pointy swords to form the bridge for the couple to walk underneath.



the couple getting stopped at one of the "routine checkpts" to get sabo-ed.. the tasks the groom had to endure throughout the day included re-enacting his wedding proposal, getting ppl to bite a cucumber held between his thighs, having to beg $99.99 frm the guests, eating a wasabi covered cracker n drinking tins of condensed milk..



they finally made it on stage.. pretty bride n dashing groom united in eternal happiness..



the yumseng session..



underaged bri only had his teacup.. haha..



but he was not alone.. a grown man was sooo proud of his teacup tt he raised it above his own head!



the popped champagne cock flew to our table.. is tt luck of wat?!



babies stole the night.. introducing, wai kit/wei jie aka baby mumble.. isn't he just the most adorable baby ever? unlike all the other screaming toddlers, he attracted loads of attn effortlessly. n his mother (the sis-in-law of the groom) is really young n pretty too.

anyway, the toddlers were really cute n the little girls behaved just like miniature cupids, running around picking up heart-shapped confetti n giving them to all the females present. spread the love hur? i tink the banquet staff felt 'loved' too.. as the little girls picked up the scattered hearts much more efficiently then any vacuum cleaner. ^^

n i tink there is a direct relation between little girls n pink, puffy dresses. hmm, tt was random. lol. =P

ok, nice wrds aside, someone severely spoiled my mood tis wonderful evening.

TO THE AUNTIE WHO CLAIMED I COULDN'T GET MY HANDS OF MY BOYFRIEND AT THE BUS STOP:

1. WANNA COMPLAIN ABT ME TO MY MOM? HV THE GUTS TO DO SO IN FRONT OF ME N NOT WAIT TILL I GO TOILET N SCURRY AWAY WHEN I GET BACK. COWARD.
2. EVER HEARD TT GOSSIPS CAN KILL? IF UR SENSELESS REMARKS MESS WITH MY FAMILY'S ROLE IN THE WAY I HANDLE MY RELATIONSHIPS, TRUST ME, I'LL HATE U FOR LIFE. N JOY IS NOT SOMEONE U CAN MESS WITH.
3. FOR SOMEONE WHO MEETS ME ONCE A YR DURING CNY, I HIGHLY DOUBT U CAN RMBR HOW I LOOK LIKE. CONSIDERING UR AGE, I EVEN DOUBT IF U EVEN RMBR UR OWN GRAND-DAUGHTER, MUCH LESS ME.
4. MAYB I SHLD BE HAPPY TT U BOTHER TO RMBR ME WHEN UR EXISTENCE BARELY MAKE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HONGBAO MONEY U GIVE ME EVERY YR.
5. DID UR MOM TEACH U COURTESY? SEE SOMEONE U NOE, GO UP N SAY 'HI' AT LEAST IF THERE IS MISTAKEN IDENTITY, U'LL JUST EMBARASS URSELF N NOT LET UR VICIOUS TONGUE HURT SOMEONE ELSE.
6. OK LETS SAY, I DID KISS HIM AT THE BUS STOP. U JEALOUS MY LIFE HV PASSION? ENVY TT AT LEAST SOMEONE DESIRES ME? OH PLEASE, IN UR GENERATION, THE POLICEMEN STILL WORE SHORTS SO QUIT BEING STUBBORNLY CONSERVATIVE.
7. BUT IF U DO WANNA STAY CONSERVATIVE, HV SOME DECENCY TO KEEP IT WITHIN UR IMMEDIATE FAMILY. U DUN SEE ME COMPLAINING ABT MY CONSERVATIVE GRANDMOTHER DO U? COZ AT THE V LEAST SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO MEDDLE IN MY LIFE. A RIGHT UR SOLEY LACKING IN.
8. KISSING SOMEONE IS A WAY OF SPREADING WARMTH N LOVE. BE THANKFUL I'M NOT COMMITTING ARSON OR ROBBING SOMEONE IN FRONT OF UR SAINTLY EYES!
9. DON'T SAY I LACK RESPECT. COZ I ONLY BELIEVE IN GIVING RESPECT TO PPL WHO I LOVE N WHO DESERVE IT. 2 SIMPLE CRITERIAS TT U FAIL.
10. LASTLY, MIND UR OWN BUSINESS N FUCK OFF!

ok, the nice joy is back. sorry if i scared anyone but some ppl just get on my nerves. esp blundering old aunties whose life circles around how other ppl's lifes r much more meaningful n eventful as compared to their own mundane ones.
