TGIGKF!

Met up with Fanana and Rainy today for TGIGKF!

You may ask what's TGIGKF! But shadn't tell as it's a secret! Okay, not so much of a secret, since it's such an open secret! (Just read my tweet and you'll know) 

Anyway, our outing was abit of a failure at the start since we were all scheduled (by me, nonetheless) to reach Sakura promptly by 11.30am sharp (as our itinerary were packed to the brim for the day) but no one really adhered to the timing except me! Had arrived at 11.20am and was Sakura's first customer of the day! 

What would you write to your 16 year old self?

Was reading 8Days today (people who know me well would probably know that I'm a huge 8Days fan who buys every issue without fail)

Anyway, as usual, I was happily reading Jason Hahn's "First Person" column (I think I have a serious crush on him but that's another matter for exploring some other day) and after reading it, I felt truly inspired about a book he mentioned on his column, "Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self", that I penned a letter to my 16 year old self.

Random Rumblings I

Life isn't as easy as it seems...

When I was young, I used to think that only flustered and perplexed people had this negative perception.

But it seems that, with age, I had become like one of them.

I had grown to realize that life isn't just only about you but also relies on other factors (that seems rather insignificant but turns out not so insignificant after all)

Factors like timing, family, friends, motivation, current state of mind, future plans and so much more...

What's Cooking Today?!

Whipped up a few dishes today for dinner, please tell me it looks appetizing!  

stir-fried broccoli and mushrooms with oyster sauce

steamed plum paste chicken

FINALLY A REVAMP!

What any other better way to celebrate after exams than finally having a taste of sweet freedom and in my case, revamping my blog?

Some people (which includes my mom, dad and probably my sis) probably think I'm mad as I can stay in front of the computer all day juggling away with html codes, "web" designing and stuff and reading up on the latest photoshopping functions (though it's weird that I don't have photoshop) but I really love doing things like that!

rainy's birthday + new year's day!

RAINY'S BELATED BIRTHDAY PARTY
&
FIRST DAY OF 2010 CELEBRATION

Venue: Chinese Garden

Target: Rainy

People present: Ah Lahs

t was time for our yearly Ah Lahs tradition (:

to celebrate the 1st day of the new year together!

nd it would have been a

perfect picnic on that day

if not for our lateness and the weather!

lol!

we were supposed to meet at Chinese Garden about 12

but practically everyone was running late

so the arranged time got shifted

from 12 to 1 to 2 pm

and omg, sow and i nearly suffered a heart attack

and had the time of our lives

evading rainy who arrived

unexpectedly at Jurong Point's Ntuc

which was directly next to the balloon shop

when we had a balloon surprise in stored for her!

(*special shout-out to sow for being so nice to

meet me at Jurong Point slightly earlier to

help me with the balloons! thanks!)

gosh, you should have seen us,

we looked like we were in some

mission impossible or 007 film

running all over the place around Jurong Point!

and when we finally gotten the balloons

(thanks to fana who was our spy to delay time)

sow and i looked like some crazed pregnant women

especially with so much helium balloons

floating around us!

plus it was no easy feat white-lying to rainy

to keep the surprise under wraps!

in the midst of it all, we also received

a distressed phone call from joys

complaining about the smell and stuff!

and wow, in the cab, sow was completely

engulfed by all the balloons and

yeah, according to her,

i was FINALLY blocked out from her sight for once!

and we honestly made a wrong decision

to alight at the gate as

it was a long long walk to the bloody pagoda

that the rest had settled at

and as usual, we arrived to find them already camwhoring!

lol!

and joys was already happily munching on some food!

but it was mcdonald's fries! ):

like my most dreaded food on earth,

second only to beansprouts!

rainy and fanana then went off

to get our pastamania lunch

while joys, sow and i remained

just then, the sky went overcast

and joys suggested we should pack up

and start running to the shelter

before it really starts pouring

but sow couldn't resist the temptation of the cards

and suggested we play a round of tai tee first

before it starts raining on us

and being avid gamblers, we all agreed!

lol!

just as sow has happily shuffled the cards

and gave out the cards to us,

it started RAINING!!!

like what the hell, how timely!

guess god hates gambling! ):

anyway, so we quickly just grabbed everything

and ran to the nearby toilet to seek refuge and

soon we were scrambling inside the female toilet

as the foreign workers there were laughing probably

1) at our get up or rather my get up

2) our huge loots or rather barangs barangs

3) our drenched and train-whacked look

so anyway, we were calling the birthday girl

whether she has any wet weather programs

or Plan B

and guess what rainy's wet weather plans were?

going to my house!

lol! like what the hell!

so we started strategizing Plan A or B or C

and decided upon meeting rainy and fanana

at the mrt station before proceeding!

but the big problem is,

we only had one umbrella from fanana's bag

joys and i then decided to improvise and

use the plastic picnic mat as

a cover above our heads while

sow would use the umbrella!

and it was super hilarious as

joys and i were like performing lion dance

(yes, ahead of the lunar new year)

she was in front, leading the way

while i was behind her,

sharing the plastic cover together!

and can you believe that in the midst,

bloody joys could actually still took sips

from her Mcdonald's coke?!

after meeting up with fanana and rainy,

we decided to just drop by the nearest

HDB block and sort of chill!

but alas, there were like

three half-naked men

dancing around the void deck

but we were too busy

gorging on our pasta lunch and cupcakes

to bother as were super famished!

after popping the sparkling juice,

taking some photos and chatting,

joys suggested we pop by

Jurong Point's Swensens

and it was kind of amusing

when the Singtel operator couldn't find

the number for Jurong Point Swensens

and all of us went "huhs? is he serious?"

and when we eventually found the number,

it turns out that Jurong Point Swensens

doesn't accept reservations!

so we went there via bus and

yes, with our balloons and everything

so we were quite a spectacle to watch

and i think we could just feel like all eyes were on us!

after swensens,

we decided we HAD to get rid of the balloons

as they were beginning to be a burden!

so rainy was busy giving out

the balloons to random children and

scaring them at the same time!

lol!

after getting rid of the least favorite colored balloons,

we held to our favorite colored balloons,

made a wish and released them

and just when i wanted to

capture the beautiful spectacular moment,

i had a panic attack as

my camera was totally out of battery,

couldn't even took one last shot!

AAAARRGGGHH!!!!!!

and thus,

it remains to be one of the

greatest regret of my life!
