Turn it up

This year's CNY is almost coming to an end! And... zero gambling so far! How odd this annual gambling tradition has been broken because our group of cousins chose to play card games like saboteur and "san guo sa" over our usual banluck rounds! And so CNY was like an eating contest for me, a quest to finish up everything heh. My face is currently suffering the after effect of all the heaty food, pimples aplenty. jialat haha.

Spent CNY chu yi traveling all over Singapore, going to seven places in total, truly shagged by the end of the day. Guess all of us are old already, visiting has become a chore (worse for my father, need to drive us around). Afraid that the tradition of visiting will be gone by the time our generation comes, hopefully not. It's a special time of the year where you get to see your most distant relatives. Thankfully our chu er was really relaxing, just stayed at home the entire day and relatives came to visit!

Also went over to jialing's over the weekend and usual good spread of buffet food, can't even remember how many rounds I went for. :P played bridge and daidee with mulan 2 playing in the background heheh. simple chillaxing day. :)

went for a CAP 5 dinner at Holland V's Ewf on Thursday, ordered a battered fish sandwich which was pretty yums. Good chance to catch up with everyone too. Xm made all of us mini chocolate muffins and they were so so good, rich and melty in the inside with crispy thin surface crust. It'd be nice if I could bake, heheh but I don't even have an oven at home lol. Went for ice cream at Island Creamery after dinner, 'teh tarik' flavor for me! Realized that I like all tea-flavoured ice cream, earl grey and green tea ice cream are my favvv. ;D

Steamboat dinner @ Peishan's on friday! It was fun shopping for the ingredients with eunice and lianquan before the rest joined us after they ended school! Absolutely love steamboats at home, cheap and so much fun. :D The only sad thing is that I mistook beehoon for tanghoon and bought wrongly, sigh :'( hahaha. and we had way too much food couldn't even finish! Played some cards after the meal lol and my luck was super good (but we didn't gamble). and then we just sat around and talked, so good catching up with the rest. had so much fun and left her house late, reached back home past 12mn heheh and so so exhausted. Almost felt like dying when I had to wake up at 7 plus today for photoshop training at school in the morning lol.

Sore throat and pimples please go awayyy hehe toddles.

Pretend

CNY is coming everybodeh!

I have the grand total of one new year dress. Got to wear old clothes for the other days heh, but it doesn't matter. Feeding myself with all the CNY goodies, heaty max. Think I'll get a pimple outburst before chu yi at the rate I'm going sigh. CNY came too fast this year, not ready for it lol zero mood to spring clean but okay, gtta get my ass to clean up the house.

Friday was a fun day. The stories ks told us over lunch made me laugh till my tummy ached, too funny the way he tells stories. met yuki after lunch and we headed to clementi! went to ntuc to get mandarin oranges that we needed for MGM, and chilled at Baskin Robbins for some ice cream and chitchat time :D Love spending time with this girl, forever comfortable with her. :)

MGM this time round was really awesome! Celebrated CNY together, and we had interesting competitions and games. By instructions they all sounded really lame, but they are all very very fun. Guess we bonded through these kinda activities! :D and I guess this is really it, time to take over and be the one.

Step by step

Getting a sore throat soon with all the CNY goodies in the house, bad bad self control just can't stop eating. sobs haha. Need to save my throat before the real CNY arrives in about a week's time! So soon so soon. Ordered a red new year dress online because apparently everyone in the family this year bought something red. goodness :( haha let's cross fingers and hope that the red dress arrives before CNY, if not I'll just be the odd one out in the fam.

sooo, school has started! week 1 has been slack and quite chillz still. good to see people around in school again, and of course good for my tummy because I can eat yongtaufoo every single day again. okay la kidding I don't eat it every single day, but it's one of the best food we have yummehh super loves. :D

spent quite a huge portion of my time with the boy heh, and it's always fun with him around. hahahaha bitch please~ (hehehe) also went to support mr chua's Friday the 13th concert at Utown starbucks with Huiyi ystd! :) heehee, it felt good to just sit and chill and watch the EML performance, unique experience. haha, and of course I had my favourite green tea latte to accompany me. :>

Pebbles

hello wello :)

baking session at eunice's house yesterday was fun! This time round we tried cherie's cornflake recipe, yum yum. love fruity pebbles. :D also played with Starry, she has shrunk a lot after grooming, but still as cute. ;) and Starry didn't bite my toes too much hehe, possibly because there were a lot of other toes around in the house that day. charmaine was so scared of starry, heh cute. ystd was also a good day to meet people I haven't seen in a long time, like hongzhou and junli. :)

Played some card games like Saboteur, and poker cards - bridge and daidee. I really like Saboteur, heheh. Sadly we never got to try the new game elias bought. Next time we must try it out :) the characters/roles seem fun. And...I also played mahjong! with eunice, cherie and lianquan. teehee, I was the noob. luckily the pros guided me and I kind of know how to play for a bit. I probably had beginner's luck I won one round that earned me quite a bit! Had dinner together at White Sands before heading back. Good day :D

2012

xoxo.

Lengthy

Let's type them out to retain some memories.

15.12.2011 - 16.12.2011

Lunched with my Crescent girlies @ Marina Square! This secondary school clique is one of those friendship that you know will remain close, even though we don't meet very often anymore. :') Sleepover @ Shijia's after that, :) but Sam couldn't join us. Walked over to Suntec after lunch for some grocery shopping! Decided to cook dinner ourselves! HEHE. The dinner turned out pretty good leh, surprisingly. The kitchen moments were quite chaotic at first whoops but everything turned out fine, so yaye for us. Nua-ed around, watched TV, washed the dishes and all before heading out again to NTUC to get some mixers and ice to accompany our raspberry Vodka for the night. We were so adventurous we bought the strangest mixers on earth, think Oolong tea/F&N Fruitade/Rootbeer etc. Lol. It was quite a crazy night and we did some stupid things which we thankfully salvaged the next day phew. It was a night long HTHT-session and we only slept at 6plus in the morning, but it's really a great bonding session for all of us I'd say. :) Love love.

'OG' trip to Sentosa! It's in inverted commas because of the failed low attendance rate. Mcbreakfast in the morning with Charmaine, Eunice and Lianquan before Elias joined us. Love the hotcakes. Charmaine had to pick her friend up from the airport so it was only 4 of us to Sentosa (lol) Played vball and frisbee and built sandcastles, my attempt at river building terribly failed. The on-and-off rain was quite irritating, we spent quite some time hiding under the shelter. Despite all the rain disruptions, the outing was still pretty fun. :) But I had muscle aches at my left butt the next day wth :( hahaha. Back to Vivo after we washed up and all, and played card games at Vivo top floor. EngChye, Huiyi, Hongzhou joined us too. Played a few more rounds of Saboteur before dinner at Seah Im. Some drama happened, leaving the night slightly awkward for everyone but all's good now. :)

19.12.2011

Back to school for a meeting. Decided to stay in Creative as a CD, hopefully everything will turn out good eventually. Joined in for the IT cell meeting, and I honestly do not get a shit they were discussing about, pretty scared about this. And I really wish to pick up some photoshop skills. Goals for the New year! Went to a NLB after that for some tuna sandwich and alone time (: Peaceful peaceful.

20.12.2011

Met the Crescent girlies for Korean grill @ Arirang! The buffet variety was really good, loved all the side dishes yums. Fun time fooling around as well. :) As usual, I'm the only one who eats like crazy, stomach why you so big?! In need of a diet nao. Gotta stop eating so much lol. Did some shopping after dinner and got 2 dresses hehe. Saw another dress I really liked but it was pricey and after some rationalization and reminder that I'm already facing severe deficits in my bank savings, I decided not to get the dress. :( Thumbs up for good self-control! So it was another great outing with the girlies, let's go to USS next yearrr. :)

21.12.2011

Headed over to Charmaine's house with Eunice! Gongcha and potato chips to accompany us as we watched 500 days of Summer together, my second time watching it. Zooey Deschanel is such a heart throb, sooo pretty. And also watched some episodes of HIMYM, BBT, and New Girl together (: In between the shows were HTHT moments, hehe Charmaine and I were preparing for the kiss-and-make-up mission on Friday. :D Settled our dinner at Bukit Timah Food Center! Ate the katong laksa there, and it was good. Not too spicy yumyum. Simple day that was full of love!

23.12.2011

Dim sum buffet @ Yumcha w Eunice, Charmaine, Huiyi! Almost got lost in Chinatown trying to find this place, and it was raining :( I really need to remind myself to bring an umbrella where ever I go. Anyway, the surprise worked! Our KAMU mission was a success whee. Exchanged presents and cards. Loved the feeling teehee :D Charmaine got my present heh glad that everyone liked it! I got Eunice's present, a super cute planner, just in time since I haven't gotten one yet! Thank you :) Charmaine had a class at night, so only the 3 of us walked to Clarke Quay after the meal. We experienced a magical moment when thousands of bubbles floated up into the air in front of the mall. So so pretty. :)

Okay enough updates for now, can't wait for the x'mas celebration with family tonight! :D

I do

Christmas is coming! (:

Gonna meet the girls for dim sum buffet @ Yumcha in a bit. Gift exchange heh can't wait, just completed the cards and present not long ago, opps (: Hope they'll like it!

I'm so tired I wanna snooze but I only have 30 more minutes to rest before time to bathe and prepare to head out, so no sleep for me yet. Yawns. Blog again when I'm back! Okay this post quite pointless, I'll edit it next time gud-byez :D
