Thrice in the name of Christmas

Slumber Partaye @ Moon's
Isn't it great to have a group of girlfriends who are always game to do dumb things together? I loooove QLZ! Seriously can't wait for one of us to get married. The hen's party gonna be damn havoc!! Abit too early to talk about that now though. Haha!

























Potluck @ Val's
Usual christmas gathering with the serve cambodia mates with fantabuuulous food. Always the case when we gather at Val's place! Hehe. Stuffed ourselves silly with turkey, fruit salad, fondue, roasted duck etc. I miss amanda's potato salad!! My favorite dish of the night :) We had the usual gift exchange after dinner and guess what I got from pinger... A POT OF CACTUS. Lolol. Somebody lock her up please!!













Gift exchange with the porks in town
Guess which piece of pork got my 'big daddy' calculator and dialogue notebook?? Lynnie porksss!! Lolol. I got her adidas water bottle and RAD adidas bath towel.

Hihi

This weekend is totally burnt by school events

- On sat(tmr), we'll be running a flea market @ Old School(Mount Sophia) as part of our fyp. Girls especially, should totally come down because of the many awesome blogshops available that day. Eg. pandawithpistols, leflirtini.

- On sun, we'll be setting up stalls near the Big Splash @ ECP as part of our retail management module. My group would be selling yummy Thai coconuts, jellies and pineapple tarts! Make a trip down to ECP and look for this brilliantly named stall number 40- JELLY CO.

FRIENDS WHO ARE READING THIS, YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Especially the one on sunday. If we can't finish selling, it would be very sad cos we'll have to lug coconuts back all the way from bedok to jurong/woodlands/yishun :(
Ring me up for more details!!

Fill you in

School again tmr :[ Two reports, two formal presentations all due this week. Wish me luck. I am taking to my consolation that I would be graduating in two months' time. Who knows, I might even miss all these nonsense after I've graduated from np.

And here's my attempt to update with 'recent' pictures, aka pictures that are not taken months ago. I feel that my blog is always lagging behind, lol. A handful of them out of 99. Nice effects :]

Twenty 10

Blink of an eye and another year has passed. 2009 has been an eventful one for me, had my fair share of the good and the bad. I wanted to do a quick recap on the more memorable events that took place last year, but seriously I can't remember anything other than the fact that ah gong passed away in June and I went to Vietnam on a study trip. I think I am getting old, my memory is failing me.

Not going to set any resolutions cos I come up with plenty every year and never once achieved them. One classic example would be my resolution to lose weight till i'm 45kg. I have been talking about that since how long? SINCE 2006. And now I'm still...erm chubby, wobbly and cute. HA! Ok maybe I did fulfil some, like getting my driving license :)

No resolutions set this year, just a stress-free to-do list!

1. To graduate and continue studying for a degree @ any local uni or SIM. Most likely the latter. My GPA doesn't meet the cut off pt for the local unis, but I'll try applying still. Going for further studies no matter what, no plans to start working.

2. To attend youth service at JCC on sundays. At least once every two weeks.

3. To get a new phone. For the sake of my friends. They complain abt it almost everytime I use my phone in front of them. Haha! Seriously, my SE might look very chui and has very few functions but it works perfectly fine!!

4. To practice and perfect a full piano song. My cousin Cecilia gave us her keyboard! It's from yamaha and the keys are totally piano-like. Not the kind of fanciful keyboard with many functions. I love it! Could sit down for hours following tutorials on youtube.

5. To attempt to lose weight again. HAHA since i've already failed for 3 years no harm trying again. With a brand new formula: Less rice, more fruits & veg!

Some random pictures here and there...

SPD night @ mediacorp

Uncle kaysoon was invited as a vip to the charity show so we got the tickets. Nice experience getting close to all the faces seen on tv. I was elvin-ng-struck. He looked so good in person. Yumyum. The biggest star that night was probably Stefanie sun. Her fans screamed, like really SCREAMED. Quite irritating at times.









Stay over @ Hyatt with family
Celebrated fatfat's birthday too. Had loads of fun with my ever so high cousins, aunties and uncles!












Meetup with pals @ KAP







I just reached home half an hour ago. Tingtong,moon, qiaosie and I went to surprise yiling at her house @ 12am just now. After the surprise that didn't quite feel like a surprise(lol), qiaosie drove us down to yishun dam to chill and enjoy the food that we bought from 302! I conclude that our clique craves for tomyum ALL the time.

Yishun dam is nice, it was my first time there today. It feels like a airport runway. I like the orangey lightings and the fact that it is super breezy and cooling. Nice place to chillax. But there's quite a number of bengs with disgustingly zhing-ed cars vrooming around in the area. Annoying.

After that we went over to jurong hill to look-see for less than 30 mins and qiaosie sent me home. Thanks qiaosie! More trips like this please. I love hanging out with all of you :]

Merry-making

With mirth and laughter, let the old wrinkles come.

Xinying's 20th @ Glass house, Thai disco





















Lynnie's 19th @ Changing Appetites, Flyer





























Bonnie's 19th @ Ma Maison










CCCC's 22nd @ Taka

Xmas

This is the season to be jolly, falalalala lalalala...

*Updated*

Hihi, I am back by popular demand. Hahaha! I can imagine coco mouthing "wah lao this chia yilin...". No link at all, but I just want to mention it here that coco and i talked on the phone for a holy 3.5 hours last week! So impressive right! Years back, we did the same on the night before our PSLE maths paper and ended up, both of us scored B-s. Kua kua kua...

I haven't been blogging for so long. I don't know where to begin with now. So I'll just anyhow.

Halloween

Spent the night with IBSM mates at Loft(Np's student apartments). We ate we drank we danced, and we played hide and seek at the supposingly 'haunted' blk 50. Ersheng, kjkjkjkj, xinying and I were in the same 'hiding' group and we were the last one standing!! Hehe. Super exciting la, youngsters nowadays should throw their stupid psp-s aside and play more games like this!

Some pictures taken that night...


Once in awhile, act cute to remind yourself that you are still young. No harm

Me and the QUEEN of seductive poses. HAHAHA KAIXIN

Me and my awesome hiding mates!! Ensheng super funny!! He wore last year's ndp performance outfit as his halloween costume.









The dragon 'tattoo' I drew for xinying!! The 'long' word looks weird, I forgot how to write alr

Kaixin's piaopiao. Lol



One day trip to JB
Another outing with IBSM mates.

Had lunch @ Sushi King, City Square. Food's average and service's verrry lousy. Their reaction like slow two-beat. Don't eat there.




We went for KTV in Johore and it's really dirt cheap!! We merely paid about sgd 5 each and we got a super big room with a laaaarge projector screen. There was even a toilet and a 'bar counter' within the room. We felt like very-important-people :)



Goooooo girls :)





Bought back some cheap yummy cakes from Secret Recipe!

Had dinner at Hotstone(?) and then ice cream at Baskin Robbins.






TB12's recce trip to Hort Park
It was a bore. Hahaha





I like this pic! So cute


Night Cycling
With the IBSM clique again! We cycled from Ecp to Geylang for supper and got ourselves the chance to erm, indulge in the rich and vibrant Geylang-ish culture. It was quite an eye opener for me because I have never seen prostitutes at 'work' before. Feel a little disgusted and yet at the same time a little sympathetic towards them. It must be really bad circumstances that forced them to do this.

It started raining awhile after we reached and we were stranded at the petrol station for quite some time. Suddenly, one smarty pants (forgot who, maybe its me lol) suggested getting ponchos from 7-11 so that we can continue cycling. So off we went to buy the colorful but easily tear-able ponchos to shelter ourselves from the rain and we wore them all the way from Geylang to Barrage! We looked soooo cute in them :) Cycling in the rain is dangerous but very thrilling.

Some blurry pics taken when we passed by the flyer...




Wanting's mini birthday celebration








Desmond's 19th
The group of us went to surprise takming at his church and the way he discovered us was sooo hilarious. We thought he'll be somewhere near the stage cos he is the guitarist of the worship session so we entered the hall from the back and walked towards the front secretive-ly. Then suddenly we heard takming's classic 'EH....'!! He was sitting at the back of the hall with his friend all along!! Imagine how stupid we must have looked.

After the failed surprise, we went down to City Hall to have dinner tgt. Anw notice that our outfits were kind of similar? His birthday theme was checkered. HAHA





Ok I'm tired already... I'll blog again when I feel like blogging!

Cloud nine

I passed my tp today!! Just scrapped through with 18 demerit points. Super duper happy. It's really a huge burden relieved! Driving lessons are fun but up to a certain point, I start to feel restless and found it more of a chore than fun to be travelling to and fro bbdc for practices. So now that I don't have to do it anymore, I feel sooo happy!

Anyway, I had the best of luck today. Really.

Firstly, I got a super nice and friendly instructor to lead me for warmup. He really calmed me down alot. He told me to take more mentos from the counter and eat them because they would bring me luck. Lol! So I ate 4 of them within 15mins.

Secondly, I got Mr Hussein as my tester!? I was arm-chioing inside cos I remember him as the tester who passed tingtong and fabian on their first attempt! Anyway he was lenient with me, I was feeling jittery at first and made some mistakes here and there in the circuit. I think he did give chance! Hussein is my favourite malay name from now on. He gave me the idea that I failed at first! While waiting for him to give me my results, he let out looud sighs and kept shaking his head!! I wanted to cry already then he passed me the result slip and I saw the word 'PASSED'. HAHAHA.

Thirdly, I got test route 7! To me, it's one of the easier test routes. If I get route 8, I confirm die.

I'm so thankful for this license, this is the best advance christmas cum birthday present ever!:) Thanks to all who msged and called to wish me luck and calm me down. Like I promised myself, I'll start going to church once I clear driving. So, keep your promise, chia yilin!
