last entry of 2007, first entry of 2008

26th dec 2007: boxing day



being stupid, i took a walk frm raffles place to cityhall via esplanade to meet cheeleng n gang.. it was a wrong wrong decision bcoz everything frm the floating wish balls to the hanging windchimes reminded me of the 2007 countdown which seems like juz yesterday. =(

met up with the darlings at cityhall before proceeding to collect our pay cheques for sitex at funan. my pay wasn't as fabulous as wat the others got but for 3 short days of labour, it was still pretty satisfactory. shopping sprees at last!! =)



aft getting our pockets pumped up, darren n i left to meet liying n xinfei for ice-skating at the new kallang leisure park. tis is us in the really cool sports-themed foodcourt there! anyway, the ice-skating here is v overpriced so we ended up going to the cathay to watch alvin n the chipmunks instead. cute cute cute!! =D

oh yeah, on a random note, the parents hv decided to sell the 2 cars n get juz 1 new one since daddy hv a long-term job posting in dubai..



bye bye odyssey.. i bet the new car wun hv a tv like tis one did. =(



bye bye the car i really wanted to drive..

27th dec 2007: trixie's sweet 18th



her food hamper i prepared coz my dear sis is the world's greatest food fan. =P guess wat clever me used for the blue wrapper?? a cut-up PONCHO!!! haha.. creative hur?



happy bdae mei, may u stay pretty forever n ever.



the first activity today aft a heavy bedok breakfast is cycling n picnic at east coast park!!! healthy lifestyle!



look at her disappointed face???! she tried to hide it behind a smile but its sooo evident she wasn't too thrilled by my, "u shld be on diet so we're only giving u a towel cake" excuse. heeee.



lunch was my fav xiao long baos (minced pork dumplings), dim sum n la mian (noodles) at din tai fung at tamp mall.. yummy yummy! ^^



she's the vip for today so she gets to ride in front with mommy..

cheeky alisa on her way to collect the real bdae cake frm the club. its trix's fav choc truffle! haha.. we r nice sisters okay!



dinner was a long drive up dempsey hill.. but there r really nice n unique eateries up here. haiz, but it is yet another place tt is totally inaccessible by public transport unless u consider cabbing. s'pore sucks in tis way yeah?

the bdae girl chose to hv jap food for dinner.. not tt i'm complaining coz rakuichi serves the best sashimi n its not even half as pricey as those not-so-fresh ones frm raffles hotel.

i love my new boots alot alot!! >.<

eating tgt with the family is always a nice feeling.. with busy schedules we barely even hv dinner with each other any more.. thankfully, alot of siblings means alot of bdae dinners. yay yay yay!



some of the food we ordered... for 6 ppl, the bill was surprisingly only $200+ . :-)



cute little teapot soup.. hv seafood inside de.



the real cake is brought out. see her relieved face??? =P



aft dinner, we proceeded to the prime society for a drink coz daddy wanted to buy trix her first alcoholic drink. men's ego i guess.. anyway, since daddy was the sponsor, i allowed myself to order a glass of Moët & Chandon champagne. lalala~



group photo before any of us grew tipsy!!



cheers to 18 yrs of adulthood!! welcome to the clan, mei. =D


28th dec 2007: shop, shop, shop

like me, alisa has juz gotten her pay cheque too! somemore with the festive atmosphere still hanging in the air, the whole family hit orchard rd contributing excessively to sg's economy. haha.. we bought so much clothes n stuff like tamagotchis tt the car boot nearly couldn't close! n for once, all of us were fighting to pay for stuff mommy n daddy liked. hehe.. feels gd to be financially independent, however short-lived it may be. =P



at night, we checked into a hotel. yups yups! mommy booked 2 rms at sheraton towers so we cld unwind aft shopping as going hm aft such an eventful day is sorta anti-climax. =P

ahhhh! call tis tai-tai training for my future. wahahaha! 0_o''



the food was totally diet-unfriendly too. stupid temptations!! *sobs*


31st dec 2007: last day of 2007

as everyone busied themselves with new yr resolutions or teary recounts of the past yr, i was out with my beloved spse peeps.



it took awhile to get everyone gathered at tamp n we proceeded to nihon mura at tampines stadium.. i had nv eaten here before n their way of ordering sure is unique. as in, we had to walk around the restaurant, pick up ice-cream sticks which state various dishes, put them in a basket with our table no. n hand the order to the cashier. interactive ma..

aft dinner, we headed in gerald's car to downtown east.. see the bubbles? liying n me ran around popping them n i won alot of little kids coz i cld simply reach higher than they cld. na nanny poo poo~

the countdown is held at the d'marquee tentage n there r security checks at the entrance wor.. *suaku*



inside the tents, the first thing tt caught my eye r these tied up bunches of balloons.. i suppose they r supposed to fall at midnight aft the countdown.



bcoz we were kiasu, we managed to secure front-row seats where we played card games n cam-whored to self-entertain..



personally, i found the performances by scarlet city rather getai-ish.. with gawdy costumes n less than there vocals. but i suppose it was enough to satisfy the crowd tt was mainly made up of families n old folks.



the boredom got sorta unbearable towards 9pm so we left to play pool at safra tamp n was joined by richard. i played my first game of snooker n in one of the many pool games we played, i sinked the winning 8 ball! haha.. once only but let me brag a little ma. afterall, i'm really only tt teensy weeny bit better than darren the dou miao ma. lolx.



aft the guys was nice enough to treat liying n me to all our games of pool - not forgetting santo's fries n darren's nuggets - richard paid for our drinks at saffron. haha. being a girl rocks lor! i noe darren will be tempted to change sex now. keke.



i heard of iced lemon tea. but iced lime tea??



HAPPY 2008 PEOPLE!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SMSES.. i'm sorry if i nv replied coz the phonelines were seriously jammed n i gave up sending some aft all those error msges. zzz. =)


5th jan 2007: happy birthday darren mei mei

cheeleng call him darren jie jie so i shld call him mei mei rite? hehe. anyway, xueqin, serkee n junhong celebrated his bdae with a treasure hunt at east coast park while i was pampering my hair n basically my whole body. lol.

i dunno wat happened with them but i do noe tt while they r getting wet in the rain, i was getting a head massage, a new hair colour, lots n lots of new tops, a couple of new underwear n a much lighter wallet. wahhhhhhhhh, i need a sugar daddy! =(



aft finally meeting up with them at bedok, we left for fishermen's wharf at clarke quay. the food was gd n the company was obviously great! it was fun teasing junhong abt his bandage though.. haha. the poor boy juz went for a minor surgery so i shall be nice n not elaborate. GET WELL SOON!!!!

we hung around till cheeleng n santoso arrived before heading to mind cafe for some boardgames.. the games xq intro was so so so fun! n so so so easy to play. its sad tt the 2 hrs passed by so fast n everyone left hastily for their last trains.



darren sure looks happy with the bakerzin cake. HAPPY 19TH BDAE MEI! XD



in one of the games, we had to make funny animal noises..

junhong: "snorrghhhhhhhhhhh snorrghhhh snorgh snorgh snorgh"

needless to say, it was damn funny!



oh my, darren is turned on by the bookcase! =X

sorry for the shaky hand.. i was laughing quite terribly..



apart frm his can-do attitude towards all his sabos, i was surprised darren took tis cake smash thing rather well.. i underestimated u man!! *applause*



eeeeekkkkk!



we r nice ppl who give him the limelight he deserves.

ehhh.. i guess i wun be blogging again until aft all the papers. wish me luck! tata~
