Venezia while waiting for Joan to join us after work! (:
Lime sorbet is ❤~!

Sang K after that and it’s my first time singing with Joan! It turned out that both of them are sooooo shy, so I was mainly the one singing, despite of my sore throat x.x

It’s funny when Lyn kept refusing to let me sing because I might lose my voice, and yet she’s singing without mic while Joan is not confident to sing a full song either, so she kept skipping them halfway! Then who sing?! LOL.

Chingay on Saturday noon and I’m thankful that we still have this practice because my mind needs to be refreshed constantly! Almost forgotten all the steps again but luckily we went through many many rounds (:

Just that the dance steps have been changed again or rather, the first 1/4 has been removed and changed to free-style because we could barely hear the music until the second quarter part~ Even my favourite part has been removed x.x

Got to know from a friend’s Facebook post that there is book fair at Kallang Leisure Park selling super cheap books! Super tempted and I actually headed down to take a look!

Really is 捡到宝！They are supposed to be second-hand books I think, but the 2 that I got are pretty new! And I got them at less than 10 bucks! xD

I could have stayed there the whole day to choose! I actually wanted to get 1 more but I gave that up in the end because as much as I love to read, I seriously don’t know when can I finish them x.x

Off to Downtownfor dinner and movie~!

Kids' meal again!

Love how I get praised for finishing my food! Haha!

Third movie of the week – Jack and Jill! I think I have watched almost all the movies that I wanna watch for now…hehe!

Had a good laugh over this movie and I enjoyed it!

Man: Is she hot or am I crazy?!

Friend: You’re crazy.

ROFL!

My $45 worth of photos! I gave myself an excuse to develop 150 photos (instead of usual 100) because I have a more interesting life last year! Haha! But it’s really impossible to squeeze NDP + Korea + miscellaneous photos into 100! =/

想念吹海风 (:

It doesn’t feel like a new year to me at all because it did not even feel like a year has passed. I admit that I have been pretty lost in time or what Xuannie calls it – “In your own world” and in fact, I did not summarise my 2011 because I find no words for it.

If I have to find a word to describe it, the closest will probably be ‘complicated‘. But it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good year or I did not enjoy at all (:

I have in fact enjoyed 2011 a lot due to my participation in Chingay and NDP, which are probably the highlights of the year (especially the latter) and also the “turning point” for me in the sense that I reignited another passion in my life.

Met new people and made many new friends in the year and everyone made me feel really loved, making me truly glad to have known them too. Just that in the midst of indulging in this slight popularity and being loved by everyone, I lost track and went too far ahead.

It’s like in a maze – You are enjoying it so much that you kept going and going without watching your way. Then at a point you realised that you may have taken the wrong path, so now you either turn back or continue and just walk aimlessly or hope for a miracle – discover an alternative path or something.

Things got complicated and sometimes they are so complicated that I have learnt to just keep them to myself, because unless being in my shoes, no one will truly get it. Really. So rather keep a low profile than being judged.

I really do hope things will get better now, even though I don’t exactly know what “better” means. In order to have something being better, you always need another thing to compare. But which should you compare it with? The past, or the future?

Perhaps it also depends on how you look at it. I may not be happier now but all the things that had happened, despite the complications, I enjoyed my time in this maze (:

Super impromptu movie date with buddy and Gui! I would have watched it on my own if they did not agree to accompany me; don’t wanna keep missing movies that I wanna watch, especially when I must watch The Descendants!

The story is complicated, or rather, the relationships in it are. Wife having an affair with someone who is also married; so instead of love triangle, you have a quadrangle~

But it makes me put myself in so many different characters’ shoes and understand how each of them feels. The husband; the daughter; the wife having the affair; the wife of the man whom the wife is having affair with…hmmmm.

Nevertheless, it was quite a touching film and buddy caught me tearing at the part when Matt says, “Goodbye my love, my friend, my pain, my joy.” to his dying wife…haha!

I actually started tearing way before that and if the guys had not used up my tissue during dinner, I would have cried a bucket! Bring your own tissue next time lah! LOL.

Had a longggggg but good Chinese New Year day 2~!

Woke up early to travel down to the east for the first house of the day – darling Ah Lyn’s!

She said she doesn’t know how to entertain guests, so I entertained myself xD

Then his brother came out and started crapping with me all the way! Hahaha! I didn’t know she has such a crappy brother! I thought everyone in her family is shy like her but the brother is seriously talkative!

With Lyn and her cat - Diamond!

With her giggly Sis!

And her petite Mum!

I realised her family members are all so petite! I mean I thought Lyn is already pretty short, but her sis and mum are both shorter than her! =O

Off to the second house which is still in the east – Joan’s!

The little one geh geh wanna squeeze in when Joan and I were cam-whoring…tsk tsk~

4 of us! Waiting for Tiff to arrive!

Finally everyone is here! Time to eat~! xD

Our mini reunion lunch! (((:

全家副！xD

The girls love to underestimate the amount of food -.- Initially when there were only 3 of us (Joan, Lyn and I), they were already afraid that there might not be enough food. But it turned out that everyone was bloated (except me) and there was still food left!

Luckily I had already warned the girls that I’m just gonna stop once I’m feeling full; I’m not a fan of steamboat because I usually end up getting damn full =/

Helped to wash the dishes after we are done with the meal!

Joan was busy dealing with the food again; she woke up at 8am to prepare those food! x.x

Everyone was basically helping out and look what’s the little one doing…

CAM-WHORING using my cam! Tsk tsk tsk!
And then she said, “You ask me to help you all take photos mah! So how I help~” -vomit blood!-

Finally doing some ah sum business!

And Tiff also took over me for the dishes because…

It’s my turn to cam-whore!!!!!! LOL.
I did not have new clothes for CNY actually, except for that skirt~

Awwww why is Miss R2-D2 so sad?

Glaring at Joan because she didn’t wanna cam-whore with her…hahaha!

Shall do it alone! Yay~!

Had to leave right after the meal because I still have a house to visit!
But more 全家副 before we left!

Once Tiffany came, Joan was exclaiming excitedly that she is very sexily dressed~ And then we all could SEE why xD

Ended up taking so many shots because Lyn was not satisfied -_____-|||

Is this like the small-eyes shot?! LOL.

PEACE OUT!

Done with the east and off to the north in the evening – Queen’s place!

The guys played pool while we girls sang for a while before we were gathered for dinner~ But I skipped it because I just had steamboat!!! -faint!-

So I watched Zeena eat instead because I know that annoys her and I love to annoy her as much as she loves to annoy me! xD

Back to sing a few more songs and then we were gathered for Black Jack! I don’t usually gamble (especially big bets) because I’m just not so into gambling~ 我比较喜欢脚踏实地的赚钱…hahaha!

But since Tenna was playing 50 cents (the minimum bet), I concluded that my $1 bet ain’t too small! LOL. But the surprise guest – Sebastian kept betting on me because he did not want me to bet $1 -stressed!!!-

Then after Tenna left upon winning back what she had lost (LOL), everyone started winning except the banker – Uncle Koh! Hahaha! Jinxed max! But now my $1 bet became the smallest bet aka “the cheap one” as the banker calls it D:

Increased my bet for the very last round! $2003 okay! ROFL.

Won a total of 6 bucks in the end! Haha! I’m happy enough

Thought that would be the last house of the day but the guys decided to head over to WJ’s house even though it was already 10 plus! Felt kinda paiseh because it’s as though we are there to take angbao -.- I even asked the guys if I can just sit outside and not go in and obviously I got scolded =/

But it was actually nice seeing all the nice aunties and uncle again and also Koshi!!! Miss her so much and miss her shuang pose (whenever someone massages her) even more! Haha! Why forever so cute one?!

Mad tired once the clock struck 12 and as expected, buddy did not leave at 12 as promised because WJ’s aunt kept bringing out food and he couldn’t resist~ Finally closed the gambling den and left as some of us gotta work the next day -zombified-

Me: *getting off cab*

Buddy: Whatsapp me when you reach home.

Me: Eh my orange~ *reach to take my oranges bag beside him*

Buddy: Whatsapp me when you reach home hor!

Me: *repeat* Eh my orange~ (when I had already taken them!!!)

LOLOL.
I don’t know if anyone realised that conversation but I was seriously zonked out! Mad tired!!!

P.S. I think I shouted too much, “Picture! Picture! Picture! Picture!” during Black Jack that my throat is killing me now…Zzzz! I hardly ate any goodies and this is happening to me -.- KNS.

Woke up pretty early but nua-ed in bed because I didn’t wanna meet fake people~ But woke up specially to welcome my dearest nephew though!

It’s his first CNY and everyone showered him with extra love! We were taking turns to carry him and I refused to let my mum carry because I didn’t wanna give up my turn..hehe!

In his pretty clothes with Poohpooh! xD

"Who gave me angbao?"

拿到红包真开心！:D

好吧！摆个 pose 吧！

Super love the photo above because he’s just mad cuteeeeeeeee~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family photo! ❤

Yiyi's turn! xD

Standing on me! Hehe!

Finally gave up my turn because it’s lunch time~! Pouting; maybe he prefers me carrying

Wearing the bee socks from me!

And soon it was also his milk time! Disturbing him while he’s drinking by doing what I did for Lyn – hair extension! LOL!!! I think he looks super cute!!!!! Like Japanese pretty boy! xD

So happy after drinking! Haha!

Smiling super happily!

And then he fell asleep the next moment! LOL.

Forever sleepy; forever so kawaii~! xD

Off to meet Yinning for movie because she’s the only as-free-as-me friend that I know! Haha! Not gonna rot another day off when I already did yesterday~

Did a little catching-up before we headed for I Love Hong Kong 2012!

I thought it would be one of those crappy CNY movies but I didn’t mind because I just wanna get out and do something~ But it turned out to be quite an enjoyable show and I had a good time laughing!

Especially the part whereby they remade the signature scene of 那些年 when 沈佳仪 was punished, totally laughed my ass off! Totally what I needed! xD

Had our usual void deck chat after that and then home with a bad headache -.- Bahhhhhhhh~

(via rememberdecember.tumblr)

Was looking forward to this 4-days holiday (who isn’t!) because I have so much things to be done! E.g. Last minute spring cleaning of my room, ironing my clothes, blogging overdue entries, watching my super “overdue” DVDs, and of course visiting my little burger!

Decided to drop by because I have reunion dinner with Clique at just 2 bus-stops away~
Poor baby was suffering a trauma after he accidentally covered his face with the pillow! He couldn’t stop crying! -heartbreak-

Finally had his milk and soundly asleep after the trauma! (:

Headed to the same place where we had our reunion dinner last year and buddy was already queuing along with Shrine and TCC. Mad hungry but we had to wait for the others to arrive x.x

Dinner time~!

Even Joseph came and everyone was shocked by how much weight he has put on =/

Shrine doing his signature spitting…Zzzzz.

Only managed to take 1 picture of the food because they were being finished faster than being served! It’s like once the first 3 dishes came, everyone started attacking like hungry ghosts and they were soon cleared! LOL.

A must for group photo every year! ((:

This was last year when the guys were still in army! Time flies~

Walked over to NorthPoint after that and the guys attempted on a last-minute CNY clothes shopping~ Then off to Swensen’s because Gui was craving for ice-cream; is it Chinese New Year now or 7th month ah?!

I wanna keep this smile (:

(via leilockheart.tumblr)

It was really rather traumatising because the lightning and thunder alone is usually enough to scare me (I’m not timid; I just don’t like loud noise!) but this time round along with the lightning, there was spark from my handphone charger which struck my hand as well!

Everything just happened in a split second – the lightning, the spark, the blackout, my scream! Seriously traumatised but having very optimistic boss and colleagues, they said the lightning is a “visit from the dragon” and it’s a good sign x.x
Well, hopefully~ But no matter what, I’m glad that I didn’t die from that “visit“.

Off to Bras Basah to print our new namecards and ended up having super late lunch again! They decided to try Kazokutei, which I have tried before(:

Seafood udon~!

Boss was feeling rather happy somehow and declared it as company lunch againnnnn! Haha! And he was even more delighted after getting his soft serve ice-cream! xD

Chinatown again after work and the crowd was not as bad as I expected~
Ended up buying 1kg of mochi and jellies!!! Yam mochi is ❤ by the way!

Desserts for dinner (:

A shot from shots!

Miss night strolls at the beach; just walk and walk.

(via lovequotesrus.tumblr)

This was 1 of the days when Wilson attempted to drive us back from Pasir Ris after the shoot and the whole journey took 3 times the duration…LOL. Had a hilarious ride though xD

Caught The Great Magician one of the nights and till now, I still can’t figure out the genre of the movie! LOL. It’s funny, but it’s the kind of crappy jokes whereby you go, “WTH! Damn lame!!!“, but still laugh at the lameness of it…haha!

Cake from Wilson’s mum! I just like to turn every cake-cutting into a birthday…hehe.

We do have a birthday coming up though! And it’s Joan’s! Not Joanjoan, but the other one (:
The silly birthday girl even got Lyn and I a cake, or rather, a mud-pie each even though it’s her birthday!

Had dinner with her at Swensen’s first while waiting for Lyn to join us after her “event“~ Luckily Joan is quite gullible and together with my good acting, she was surprised by us!!! xD

Lyn was actually making a cake for her at Icing Room while we were eating! Joan really thought she is still at her event and shortly after I came back from the washroom (which is actually to go help Lyn prepare the cake), Lyn walked in with her self-drawn Melody cake! Hehe!

Surprise surprise~!

Not bad right! Though Lyn is not very satisfied…haha!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOAN!

Us: Make wish make wish! *prepare camera*

Joan: Huh then you all going to take photos of me closing my eyes to make wish ah?!

Me: Then you want us to take photos of you OPENING your eyes to make wish ah?!

LOL.
I don’t know why she felt awkward and giggly about the wish-making part, because it’s usually the birthday song part that makes me awkward =/

I also got her a mini Melody cake knowing that she loves Melody! (Oops! Cannot be seen. iPhone camera…tsk tsk) Oh and a Melody watch as present! Hehe!

Then she also received a free ice-cream from Swensen’s for her birthday (the girls didn’t know of such promo!) so she ended up having 3 “cakes“! xD

Rilakkuma Polaroid shots! ❤ ❤ ❤

Cutting the cake! But none of us ate because we were all full, especially the 2 of them! Haha!

Left the mall and all the shops were closed by then~ But we didn’t feel like going home yet, especially when Lyn had only joined not long ago and it’s also sad for birthday girl to come all the way down from home just for a while =/

So we did retarded stuff and had a good laugh over our nonsense again! We were talking about hairstyles and I was trying to convince Lyn that she looks better when she had long hair (before I know her), so I lent her my hair as extension! LOL.

I was standing behind her, with my back against hers by the way! Well-concealed right! xD
Only Photoshop the hair colour because it is different and she looked as though she has a dog tail on her shoulders…LOL!

Was just damn high and I couldn’t stop crapping on!!! We all had a great time though, especially the birthday girl! I really made her laugh like non-stop! Hahahahahaha!

Then Lyn joked about giving Cla a call and asking him to come down, and she jumped up when she heard his voice through my phone’s loud speaker, because I really called him! LOL. And he really came down! Damn steady~

Taking retarded photos while waiting for him! LOL.
As you all know, I don’t usually post unglam photos, so enjoy! xD

I know the last 2 are the most epic ones! LOLOLOLOL.
