so cm had friday free and we went for shopping and high tea at Royal Plaza! Heard loads of good comments about the high tea spread at Carousel so was expecting quite a bit.. errrm. in the end. it was okay la. just that the bread pudding was not as faab as i expected it to be. the cakes selection was just alright and the food, just an average pass i would say... but the ambience was great! with 'string curtains' and all. quite nice!  and they had really nice service. always ready to refill your coffee / tea.  i pretty much spent my time there drinking tea and iced water. boo! cm caught polishing off the cakes! super cute. heh. shopping at tangs after tea. and we spent the whole evening there! it was packed to the max, prolly due to the sale on.loads of good deals and bargains. it's no wonder i'm going back tomorrow with Sinyee for tai tai shopping and tea!! =D Saturday was spent at home, watching rented VCDs again. This week it was 'The Day after Tomorrow"! i know i know! it's such an old movie(2004)!! but i kinda have this thing for natural disaster movies, don't ask me why cause i myself dun know. i thought the movie was pretty cool. all about the global warming effect. cm couldnt help but start to explain to his sister, with his very vast geography knowledge -.-" all he knew about the formation of hurricanes, tropical storms, currents, hails..etc..etc. it was very cute. BUT, i was pretty distracted by.. Jake Gyllenhaal!! he's super hot okay (in the movie that is)! i wouldnt mind spending my last few minutes with him. woots!! oh, and i spent my sunday at... the airshow.of all places right. so bloody darn hot. no aircon. the airshow. squeezing with the crazy crowd that amounted up to thousands. it was sheer madness and it deserves a whole entry on it own. till then! |

so the 15th day of cny's over. and here are all my pictures!! muahahaha~ i've put on about 2kg over the new year, and seriously, it's not hard to see where did the weight come from. pui. it's definitely the tarts. reunion dinner as i said was a quiet affair this year, with the passing of my paternal grandfather. so we had a small dinner at home, just my mum, dad, sis and me. it was a little awkward but i was glad things turned out quite already. so here's a picture of my super-hero mummy. with her bandaged arm, smiling away with the nian gao...  while my dad sis and i slave away in the kitchen.. over dinner!   Bought this pen cai from a chinese restaurant for the reunion dinner. apparently it's like the in thing to get for cny this year. went along with daddy to go collect it from the restaurant on chu xi and we saw the smashed up orange lamborghini along that stevens road bend, with the ambulance and all, on our way to isetan scotts.it's kinda cool. they give you the whole claypot with everything inside and you just go home, heat it up and it's ready to eat!   i thought it would be quite awful to it as there's like mussels, fatty pork, duck's tongue and a lot of other weird stuff which i cant seem to identify, but it was suprisingly good. so here's the "feast" the three of us prepared! There's scallops and abalone and that black moss thing in the pen cai. very nice stuff!anyhow i bet things would go well for me this year cause i've did the lou-hei soooo many times!! =D   ya and you wonder why you don't see me in then pictures? cause i'm the official photographer!anyhow, this year caught up quite abit with my cousins. it's kinda sad to see the family kinda drifting apart after not having the glue (the grandparents) to keep everything together but i'm glad we all made an effort! the cousins. being goofy and dumb.  daddy being his funny-self. insisted on a picture. hehe. quite cute la my dad. Had lunch at my first aunty's place this year. Her house is pretty cool. She has this entire row tanks filled with guppies along the corridor, according to her, guppies breed like rabbits, so pretty soon she had a farm. some of my cousins and aunts spent the day with nets catching the guppies they like home. my first aunty should charge! it's like those kampung fishing thing in qian hu fish farm? the only thing is that the guppies are i bet are a lot better than the ones you would get there. mentally construct the three pics together to get a rough idea on how long the corridor is!    and of course a picture with my nephew and niece! it's a tradition, every year also must take!they're super cute la, and growing super fast too. can't help but feel old standing next to them.   so, we did the visiting at the usual stops, but not so much this year as we're not supposed to officially go around but still i went over to cm's as per normal on the night of the second day.his whole family (mummy's side) would be there and we would play blackjack and talk. his uncles are all v cute. and this cousin of his! super cute girl, v shy initially but when she opens up to you she talks non-stop. she's pretty much the same since the last cny, just taller. i think cny's kinda cool eh, you get to observe how the little ones grow. no wonder all aunties always get such a kick doing that "eh, loooook at how muccchhhh you'veeee grownnn!!" thing.  oh oh! and gambling night, or to better put it, cny games night, at lenny's place. how could i forget! i went after work and all of the guys i swear ganged up to cheat all of my money. (i was the banker) utter rubbish. where got chances of getting the same cards as the person beside you, or across half the table, so many times d! I mean, what are the odds!!  somemore blackjack together! what rubbish! pui~ whole table twenty / twenty points? think the banker would have to deal with a heafty payout? haha. sorry. banker twenty one points!everyone: WAH LAO!!! so big also cannot eat!  Matty tried desperately to eat my money also. scoring blackjack after blackjack and then a "ban-ban". urrgh.the culprit. anyhow, the idiot wrote down the lines for the lou-hei cause he couldnt remember them.  and for his effort, got himself a blackjack and won a grand total of....... 20cents!!! now if only i could get that vid of us doing the lou-hei over at lenny's... **nudges matty** it'd be perfect! |

working on vday was super fun! watching all the girls walking around with bouquets of roses.. or holding hands/linking arms with their boyfriends or husbands. laughing at those who hold roses in their hands but are out shopping alone, and mentally rating all the diffrent kind of bouquets. the final verdict: lillies look the prettiest in bouquets and roses look best with at least 6 stalks. bouquets with the bears and roses mixed, look a lil stupid for orchard road but i think would go down perfectly well with the students couples that flood jurong point everyday. but anyhow. today is a grrreat day cuz i finally hit my sales target! it's been so long baby! woots! and it feels so damn good. hurhur! shing came by to the counter today and i think she's my lucky charm caused i closed about $200 in sales when she was around. went around frangrance shopping for a very short while and i bought her a heart-shaped lolly for vday!! p.s. dun feel guilty la, i still love you as much! =D went for lunch alone though so i went to mos burger. i really didn have the intentions of listening to the conversations that went around me but they were so interesting it was just hard not to listen. oh. and i people watched a lot today too.. there was this nerdy looking guy sitting in the corner, munching on fries and scribbling away... it was only when he started licking the envelope did i then realise that he was writing a vday card. and it's one of those ginormous ones. and he was licking the seal on the envelope. like really licking it. from the right to the top, left to the top and then a final lick on the top before sealing it. it was really disgusting. but i dunno wads more disgusting. the girl receiving the saliva-stained card or her being in the guy's mind while he was licking the card. hmmm.... behind me there was this couple, i dont really know how they look like but the convo went like this...The girl sounded really annoying and whiny and if not for their interesting convo i would have turned around to shoot her my please-shut-up look. Girl: Babbbby......it's our first valentine's day together.. arent you going to tell me something? Guy: huh? i already said i love you just now what. Girl: No la. not enough. say a bit more laaaaaa.... Guy: okok. (in a serious i'm-trying-to-act-cute-to-please-you voice) baby i love you so so much. i hope you liked my flowers, cause i chose them specially for you! Girl: That's a lot better. so you really love me right? Guy: Yaaaah... Girl: Good. then you shall feed me all the fries today, okay. Then i will believe that you truly love me. Guy: (Stunned voice) all the fries?? every single one? Girl: ya. if not i will take it as you dont love me. today our first valentine's day mah! must do memorable stuff! Guy: (i presume looking quite sian diao by now) okay okay. Girl: (demands) what about my ketchup?! LOL. Quite dumb i know but i found it really amusing. anyhow. tomorrow is friday and i can finally see cm! yeahness! =D i hoped all of you out there enjoyed your vday yeah? |

the exams were long over, and we're already in the mids of cny! cny was a lil weird this year, i dunno why, but things felt quite different..almost foreign. oh well, went visiting this year, but not as much cuz i'm "supposed to still be mourning". so i cant bring oranges out... which caused a bit of an inconvenience cuz i had to explain my situation quite a few times. pictures up soon! and one more thing, mummy "fractured" her arm, the day before chu xi (eve of chinese new year) she slipped while going down a ramp and was wearing flats! i dunno how she did it but yeah, she scored herself a crack so huge it could be seen on her xray so super clearly and now has to carry her arm around in a sling. woots. a broken arm seems to be the best conversation starter ever. my mum got all the attention everywhere she went! haha. but she was sad though, cause she couldnt wear all the new clothes that she bought for the new year cause the bandages on her forearm were to thick! mummy's a super woman though, she insists on doing quite a few things even though she only has one functional arm. eg. driving. it's kinda scary sitting in her car, watching her drive with only one hand on the wheel. she going for a cast this wed, and will be in it for the next month! poor mummy! poor us! now we'll have to do everything ourselves! =X so i worked at lancome today. it was too sweet a deal to miss. 12/hr. woots! and then went shopping with mummy at vivo! vivo was empty, as compared to the crowd that thronged that place weeks back, or maybe days before cny. it was damn shiok, being able to shop around and not having to squeeze with anyone! my new love, this tulip skirt i saw in river island. it is to die for. oh, and i finally bought my pillow. it was on offer please. now i can get a proper night's sleep. i havent been sleeping well since the exams!! happy cny to all! =) |
