critique; cryptic ♥
(pun kinder intended hahahahahaha I'm so witty)
So, remember I mentioned about the probably first and only present I got this year? (It really was the only one haha, minus the three surprise cakes. THREE! WOW! The cakes really made me happy this year. I still rmb last year's was the worst ever.)
TA-DAH:
I'm sorry to say that I only ate it last night, more than a month after. HAHAHAHA.
Sorry L, but at least I ate it! Heehee.
I was a bit suaku and spent like 5 minutes figuring out how to open it. Cuz I wasn't sure if the chocolate took up the egg shape, or whether it was only one layer or something! And I was scared of crushing it! I'm sorry la, first time eating mah. A bit no childhood right. That was kinda the reason I suggested to L to get me it in the first place. Haha.
But I did it!
And went OHHHHH IT'S LIKE THAT AHHHH!!!! the minute I pried it open: left side chocolate, right side surprise!
And so I peeled open the surprise side,
All the knick knacks.
Decided to spend another 5 or so minutes fixing the toy, which looks quite ugly in my opinion. Oops.
With instruction sheet:
And the bits and pieces:
Got rubber duckie some more!
Don't forget the sticker!
I had the picture rotated (that's why the flash mark appears at the top) cuz I realised that I took it upside down.
And TA-DAH!
Masterpiece!
But wait, still must put sticker!
TA-DAH!! COMPLETE!
I haven't fixed toys in so long.
So fun.
But the chocolate was too sweet. Far too sweet for my taste.
And the toy, as aforementioned, a bit ugly ah.
So thank you L, for satisfying another of my to-do lists in life, and nobody needs to get me this again.
Oh, but I do like Kinder Bueno though. ;)

9:45 AM
I work fast, I realise.
As of now I've finished reading the LJs, the blogspot blogs that I link, and the most killjoy stuff of all. Haven't submitted yet cuz I'm waiting for J. I've roughly planned the schedule, and boy am I going to be having consecutive 6 or 8 hour days. Can't wait man.
I've also finished one of the three overdue 8days magazines, am halfway through the second.
And I did all that yesterday. I managed to sleep at 1.30am even! After watching Ris Low's second interview with RazorTV. Hahahaha. Yesh I know I'm backdated, but I really want to see what other gems come out from her golden mouth. "Sponsorers" is the newest addition ot the English language I see. Darling, it's sponsors. And I realise that the one interviewing her does not really speak that well either. For one, she called her Risk Low once. Erm. Right.
I haven't started reading Twitter, and I'm planning to do that the rest of the day, reading from three weeks back to now. Woah. I wonder how many million tabs I have to open.
I've also cleared a few videos that I've bookmarked since ages ago, am going to clear the remaining today also, hopefully.
I also want to go cycling at least every other day, but it's raining now so yay an excuse to coop up at home with the laptop haha.
I also want to do yoga again. Surely Youtube will have many yoga videos right. Yeah man.
Ahhhhh. What a nice day to relak.
Though I can't help but keep dreading the outcome of this sem's results.
I realise I hide my stress quite well too.
Do you know this sem was the worst ever? Do you know I kept thinking of ________ like a lot of the time? Do you know I was rushing for time every other second, and trying to squeeze every bit of time I have to do something productive? Really, you don't. So, actually, to someone whom I unintentionally upset, you don't know the half. And you don't know too, that I nearly broke down when I was trying to explain. Nearly. But not. Cuz there were just too many people around.
This is turning out to be such a weird post. Haha! I think ah, I should plan my posts more properly instead of just letting my thoughts run like a continuous stream of consciousness. Oh well. But no, there's one more thing I must mention. The previous generation think that youths nowadays are super weak, cannot take stress, a little bit of tough work and all they want to do is commit suicide. You don't know, man. They should seriously try doing what we're doing now. Especially when the aforesaid youths are really slogging it out because they want to fulfil some looks-bleak-unfulfillable dream in future. Yes, I'm one of them. And what is that dream I have? I'll never tell.
Ah well. I should really treat this month as a total break. So I should not work right. Aiya I dunno. I'm still contemplating.
I shall go read Twitter now. Bye!

I tell you, the artist of Insanity Streak copied me leh.
From this blog entry in March 2009, I wrote:
And in some day's comics I forgot when:
Click to enlarge!
SEE!!
*
There was this week where every day I thought about some old song. By old I mean songs I heard in my upper primary era.
Monday was Against All Odds
Tuesday was Take On Me
Wednesday was These Days
Thursday was Like a Rose
Friday was Seasons in the Sun
Haha. Anyone knows who they are by? Heh. I only don't remember who sang Tuesday's one. Hmm.
*
Fireworks from playing Spider Solitaire!
*
Overheard,
"FBT = For Boys To see!"
Good acronym. Seeing how these shorts almost skim the butt.
*
Some Sunday for dinner we went back to this Toa Payoh shop ze Emperor and Empress found. (And we're going again for dinner later!!) And I forgot the shop name AGAIN. I'm sorry. I'm so not cut out to be a food blogger. Forget place, never say what the price is also. Hahahaha.
Ze Empress' some vinegar chicken thing which you need to have an acquired taste for.
Soup and garlic bread. They put the Chinese fried garlic on top of it KUAKUAKUA wrong kind la!
Ze Emperor's fish and chips.
My salmon!
Without flash. Couldn't decide which one looked better, so just uploaded both.
*
There was this day where there was a looooong talk between ze Empress and the brother. My name was mentioned in the convo. Wah I felt that I had a halo around my head, compared to him.
But hmmm, don't think he's changed much still. Oh well.
If you want to talk with him, you must lay out alllll the caveats beforehand if not you'll never get what you want. To put it nicely, he can be a salesman. To put it more not nicely, he can be a con man.

Painting works in progress for our area.
Before and after! We had a say in the choice of colours we wanted to see, and the nicest one and the one we picked was selected to be the colour! Green! Nice change! Can't wait for our block's turn!
*
Fiona Chan's column a few weeks back in the Sunday Times - I totally agree! Her column was on annoying words, and I agree with all of them! Like chillax - WHAT A CUCKOO FUSION PLEASE!, just the letter 'k' for okay, alphabets when they mean LETTERS - THIS ONE I CANNOT STAND THE MOST!!, mixing it's and its up, literally when they mean really and vice versa, etc etc.
*
Boon Tong Kee a few weeks back:
Mua likes Christmas trees!
Claypot tofu.
Roast chicken! :)
Prawn omelette! Nice!
*
The other day I dreamt of hot pink underwear. Not on me though. HAHA even more scandalous right. Ooh kinky pinky.
And another day I dreamt of prostitutes smoking and I could really smell the cigarette smoke. Why do my dreams have a certain theme to them. Hmmm.
*
Ze Empress went to ION Orchard (before I did even!) and decided to splurge on Varlhona chocolates - nice, but it's $55; price quite nice also:
Choosing to take picture of expensive chocolate against marble background was a good idea! Haha. Totally coincidental though.
*
I was pretty amused by the floods that caused the Bukit Timah cars to float. Woah. Anyway if they're staying in that prime area I'm sure they have the moolah for the servicing.
*
Look, umbrella floats on top of chair!
*
There was a historic moment one day, I think it was the day before my Cog Psych exam, where the brother made instant noodles for himself. With egg some more. And with a sister laughing hysterically by his side.
Haven't had such a good laugh in so long.
*
M: I'm vair tired, entertain me please.
B: Okay I'll do a rap.
*silence*
M: Oy, I'm still waiting.
B: Okay, I'll put it on my to-do list.
He still hasn't. Tsk.
*
M: Eh, China sending the two polar bears right, I think I heard that one of them is going to be called Mei Li.
B: What's the other?
M: I don't know leh, missed it.
B: Shuai!
M: Hahahaha! Please la, it'll be two words la!
B: Shuai Ge!
M: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
As it turns out, I misheard. It's neither. I think these were suggestions sent in by the public. I forgot what they're called. Oops.

Jadon's 1st Birthday
So it was nephew Jadon's birthday the Saturday prior to exams. His mama booked Aranda Chalet, somewhere we've gone before and totally loved cuz it was sooooo big. But no one (or not that I know off) stayed this time.
Looks like the sun/moon right? It's actually a lamp from Wild Wild Wet! The youngest Z best, was wondering why the MOON so bright. HAHA!
The two elder Zees and T complained that I came so late cuz they were waiting for me to reach before they started eating. Awwww sho shweet. But in the end, I was waiting for X to come before I ate. Heh. Oops.
X took ten million years to come and it was raining. I decided to be the hero that saved the damselin distress who may be caught in the rain WHY AM I ALWAYS PLAYING THE MALE ROLE WHY NOBODY COME SAVE ME FROM ANYTHING HUH! and went out with an umbrella.
When we came back, the two plates that I had saved for both mua and X had been graffiti-ed by a certain T. Haha. But they were vair pretty!
Mua and my personalised plate and cup! Ignore my strange face!
Complete with curls some more! Haha!
THE HAIR IS DRAWN DAMN ACCURATELY MAN!! T is damn genius. And with the sport that she helped make famous (kinda la).
The birthday cake! Spot the letters J A D O N on the vair cute bears!
Decided to collage a few of the pictures cuz 1) save space; 2) some of them are of my family members whom I don't want to post such a big shot of them heh give them some privacy la my face I don't care; 3) lazy to upload soooo many pictures; there are already vair many.
Birthday boy with family members.
T with a pink umbrella from the cake.
The four umbrellas on the cake. If I remember correctly, it was L, youngest Z, J and T with their respective brollies.
Later on, another cake appeared! It was meant to be a surprise for H biaoge. And woah I admire them that they really could keep the secret man! Considering that it was a chalet and like, everything was just there for everyone to see! I wonder how they managed to keep it away from him, especially since he was walking around taking photos and all!
He was thoroughly shocked. And others were saying that he purposely want to steal the limelight hahahahaha.
His vair pretty and vair yummy too! cake.
With wifey; looking bue song haha; with the young boy SEE THE YOUNG BOY IS DAMN CUTE HE'S SMILING!!!; a super po huai xing xiang pose, him taking the knife and instead of cutting it properly, stabbing it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The two cakes. Yummyyyyyy.
Later on, we went back outside. And T continued to vandalise all the cups. Hahaha.
Brother's with big full-of-braces mouth hahaha, eldest Z who drew it herself so ugly leh HAHA, middle Zee who drew it himself - not bad, X's with super cute hair only two strands - one on each side, T's with umbrella - I have no idea why she drew herself so fat heh! and yours truly's.
All in a row!
The following three pictures were hard to come by. T wanted to laugh, so I obliged her by doing something. And boy did she and X have such a gooooooood laugh until cannot take it. Hahaha. But we finally managed to get them taken. Heh.

The Great Airport Send-Off
The vair next day was the start of EE's 3-week long holiday. So he had decided a few months back that he was going to bring his family of four to tour the world, making yours truly super duper trooper jealous.
But it's okay, I was still vair nice, decided to still go and send him and the family off even though my paper started the next day.
Those float thingys that the big baby of a brother actually wanted to get up on. Ha!
The decor at Terminal 3 this year is...
A giant musical box with cherries spinning around!
This little girl was shaking her butt to the tune - think it was Deck the Halls playing then. Hahaha so cute!
We were earlier than them, ironic right, but only cuz we didn't know that their flight had been delayed an hour. The brother was a bit annoyed, cuz he could have slept an hour more heh. So since we were so early, we decided to go walk around first.
The redemption counter before, when nothing was inside it.
And after.
This is inside the departure hall.
There's a door on the other side!
Close up from one of the three balls from the previous picture. So dreamy fantasy wonderland.
After walking, we decided to go back to the row they were supposed to check in at.
And then they arrive!
She was vair happy to see us. Starting talking non-stop. And called my name so many times some more *shiok*
The little boy's bag weighed almost a kilo!!
Staring at the cherry thing.
Closed...
...opening...
...open!
The little girl was fascinated by it. And she made a vair funny remark:
See, the cherries are turning, they're getting giddy!
Hahahaha! Cute.
Decided to take a shot with her and with the cherries as the background:
So cute! It's currently my handphone wallpaper, and will be till they come back. Haha.
The conveyor belt at the arrival hall is also decorated with the huge Christmas balls.
And then they went in. The little girl was waving and waving and finding every nook and cranny and open part to keep waving at us. Awwwwww. She was vair happy too. Cute la.
And then we went to have lunch. We had porridge cuz we didn't feel like eating anything much. And boy was the porridge hot! And some more we only had like half an hour to eat it. So I went back to take two small bowls. Hahaha macam small kids like that.
And their A380 Airbus takes off!
Sigh. I wish I was on it too.
*
I was sick for the second time in two months. The previous time was cuz I had three projects due one after another. The current one was cuz of the exams. Wah lau.
Have you ever tasted cold cough drop before? It's vair ewww.
Remember to thaw it before drinking.
Empress: Wah, you exam need to invest a lot of things hor. Figs la, fish soup, tissue paper la.... (cuz I was spending every other waking minute shoving tissue up my nose)
Oops.
And drowsy medicine makes you have funny dreams. I mean funny as in laugh out loud. I was really laughing in my dream. I dreamt that I was in K biaoge's house, and was trying to find out how to bathe without the whole world seeing. And then he was like close the door lor! I went, oh ya hor got such a thing as a door.
Hahaha I have no idea. But I was just really laughing out loud man. Gawd what's wrong with me.
Dreamt of the currently touring around the world EE and family too! Haha. Abstract as usual, some major drama going on, can't really remember much already.
*
Look what ze Empress got me for me to eat while studying:
My all time favourite sweets from young.
*
The blog hits and visits have been amusing.
found burberry wallet at school koufu - HUH?!
adjective form of despair - HAHAHAHA
"borzing" - HAHAHAHA
cuckoo clock ringtone
mhyee
cheongsam book pattern - HUH?!?!?
funny yun dong ge - HUH?!?!?
And I'm getting visitors from UK France Australia Poland Canada Finland US. EE is any of that you? Hahaha. I was thinking maybe the France one was you, but I think you were in Belgium then, so cannot be. Heh.
*
Thank goodness for coins.
That day I had to have $12.80 with me so that I could buy lunch for the whole family. I remembered that I only had a $10 in my wallet. So the minute I reached, I sat down and poured allllll my coins out.
I had the additional $2.80 needed, and 20 cents spare some more. Woohoo.
Take care of your pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Or something like that.
*
That day they culled crows at our place. I was like wow they still do that? The last time I saw crow culling was 10 years ago at Redhill!
*
Young punks do have some words of wisdom. Young punk #1 Z was nagging me to study. Young punk #2 B was asking me to relax.
Orh. Okay.
*
I have 600+ messages in my inbox, haven't cleared them for so long. Haiyo. And majority are super lame ones from some people who are busy stalking other people. Tsk.
*
That day when my cough had not really recovered, I ate wanton mee with chilli. Big mistake. Started coughing non-stop after that. Eeks.
*
One of the days in the midst of my exams we went to Mong Hing cuz I was sick and usually when I'm sick I'll eat fish. It's about the healthiest thing there is also la huh.
More Christmas decor!
*
And I'm vair annoyed. Does everyone periodically delete numbers off their handphones or something?! It's super annoying to send happy birthday messages to your friends only to get back a reply, Who's this? or Who are you? etc la! Haiyo. I didn't bother replying man. Forget it.
*
I keep having so many flashbacks of memories I haven't thought of for so so long. That day I suddenly remembered this MJ chem lecturer who had left already by the time I was in J2. And then I remembered the Perkafe there. Haha!
And smells, too, can really trigger memories. The other day I suddenly thought I smelled my eldest uncle's (father's side) old house.
*
Ze E happened to be in the roomeavesdropping when I was talking on the phone with the two Js. We were talking about Stats, so had a few Stats terms.
E: Wah, like speaking Greek like that.
M: It's English!
E: But strung together sound like Greek.
*
Now I know why people like to listen sooooo loudly on their headphones. The surround sound rocks. And the singer sounds like he/she's singing especially to you. Waaahhhhh.
But no, I'm not going to spoil my ears man.
*
AND I'M VAIR AMUSED THAT NEXT TIME THERE WILL BE NO MORE PARKING GUIDING POLES HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA NEHHHHHH LUCKY I'VE ALREADY PASSED MY DRIVING LALALALALALALALALALALALALA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
The brother is a bit split brain or something. That morning ze E told me that he could see his cup of water, the other cup of coffee, but couldn't see the bread. Lolzzz.
And I keep inflicting all the disorders on them. Ha!
But I accidentally said "don't throw the fork away" instead of "don't put down the fork for washing yet", and ze E immediately fired back, now what disorder is that?
Wah lau. Kena jacked by my own thing.
*
Ze b is a bit siao. That day he was forced to clean bird shit off the window cuz some bird slapped against it one fine day and did his biz there. He being the sick one was trying to smell it WAH LAU.
B: I'm going to google why bird shit got no smell. *types* Wah I typed 'why does' only then the search came out 'why does it always rain on me'. Ha!
M: Aiyo why so emo wan.
*
And finally finally finally exams are overrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
See my study area, in prep for the exams:
And after:
I firmly believe in 先苦后甜, so by last night I'd already packed everything neatly away! Heh.
And this morning when I walked to sit down at my table I was like wondering how come I could so conveniently just walk, cuz I remembered that I had to walk one whole big round prior. Then I realised it was cuz the past few weeks I put my books on the floor! And now, no more obstruction!
And I finally finally finally went to ION.
I like it there! (btw majority of the pictures - credits to her! Thank you!)
Went with J, and we decided to eat bits and pieces of everything, even though it may cost more than a main course. So first, I had youtiao, whereas she had 8 sausage balls.
We just walked around the food areas, and marvelled at an $18 caramel swiss roll. So ex!
And then suddenly we caught sight of something we had just talked about earlier...
Renaldo's apple strudel!!!!! :))))))))))))) So we had a mini apple strudel and this Happy Mango Stick, or something like that. We couldn't find any more main course thingys to eat so we just went straight to dessert. Heh.
I look odd. Okay I now officially dislike close ups. I will not take pictures so close up anymore. Eeeee.
Finito!
Later we went to visit the washroom.
And girls being girls will always find time to camwhore, especially when the toilet is so nice. Haha.
We were a bit unglam, coming to Orchard with folders in our hands. Aiyo.
We were busy taking photos until we forgot the time - J had an job appointment at 7pm. We reached the place at about 7.15pm. Oops. Haha.
So she's going to be a Nespresso promoter for the next 10 days. And yesterday she was being "trained" how to promote the coffee machines and how to make coffee too. The manager showed us both how, even though I wasn't part of it. Heh. So I also had free coffee to drink.
The machines are super cool and fun man. We had quite a lot of fun laughing, drinking coffee etc. Funny enough we weren't really worried about not being able to sleep but just finished every cup of coffee that the manager/she herself brewed. Heh. The manager was like, wah you all actually finish ah, it's okay to leave it!
She uploaded the pictures onto Facebook and called the album 'too much caffeine'. Ironically, we forgot to take pictures of the coffee and all. Hahaha kuakuakuaaaaa.
J I hope you're having fun at work! :D
Later, after almost 2 hours of coffee talk and drink which passed by like super fast it didn't feel like 2 hours at all, we went upstairs cuz I wanted to see the rest of the atas shops. Haha.
And then we went to another toilet.
And had another round of photo-taking.
I like my hair here! And there are super a lot of mirrors all over. I was telling J, eh I can see so many of you going into the toilet!
We later realised that the number of females and males there were indicated the floor we were on! Just now we were on B4 so there were 4, and then now we were on the 5th floor so 5! So ingenious!
And then we went out to walk the rest of Orchard Road to view the Christmas lights.
M: Eh it looks like avocado.
J: Excuse me, it's pear la. Avocado got no stalk lor.
HAHA oops. Didn't see the stalk at first mahhhh.
I actually asked her to just upload the photos and I'll tag myself, as the star or something for all the Christmas tree shots. Haha. But she vair nice, she did it! Heh. So I'm like the star on top of the tree for all the trees we saw! THANK YOU! :)
Through the looking glass crystal ball.
Then we went inside the Christmas tree itself!
Wah it's damn pretty inside!!! I was telling J that I'll change my handphone wallpaper to one of the following shimmering stuff after EE and family comes back.
Sexy reindeer with a thigh-high dress. The female reindeer all super sexy and hiao man.
This reindeer had this blue curl coming down. J went, eh see she also perm hair! So I took a photo with my fellow perm-ee.
See, this one is putting on lipstick!
On the way to Taka, she saw her fave brand. So she took a photo with the Burberry name.
Whereas I wanted to take picture with a vair pretty girl:
Trying to copy her pose. A bit off angle though.
And there was this humongo LV case outside. So we had took turns taking photo with it. Heh.
The Taka Christmas tree.
Soon we crossed the road cuz we wanted to go back to Tangs and hopefully see how her work place would look like. Too bad it was already closed by the time we got there.
Outside Paragon. She said that every year they recycle these lights from Tampines and put at Orchard. Haha!
Bush with lights.
Butterfly-themed tree! Pretty!
The Tangs window display. My phone camera couldn't capture the vividness of the display, how sad.
Haagen Dazs Chocolate Shop! It's gold actually, but my phone made it silver -.-
So I decided to just ask J to take with her digicam and I just kapo-ed it from her!
So pretty. This is another potential handphone wallpaper. She told me I'll have many to choose from. Yeah man.
And since it's so pretty that will be the last picture to end the post!
*
Yay the minute I turned on the radio this morning they kept playing nice songs yayyyy.
*
Phew finally done! The time I started was 10.56am. The time now is 6.27pm. Okay la, got sidetracked to read a few blogs first already while my photos were being uploaded. And also I ate lunch. Phew. 8 hours.
Done!
Phew.

Fiona Chan's column a few weeks back in the Sunday Times - I totally agree! Her column was on annoying words, and I agree with all of them! Like chillax - WHAT A CUCKOO FUSION PLEASE!, just the letter 'k' for okay, alphabets when they mean LETTERS - THIS ONE I CANNOT STAND THE MOST!!, mixing it's and its up, literally when they mean really and vice versa, etc etc.
Boon Tong Kee a few weeks back:
The other day I dreamt of hot pink underwear. Not on me though. HAHA even more scandalous right. Ooh kinky pinky.
And another day I dreamt of prostitutes smoking and I could really smell the cigarette smoke. Why do my dreams have a certain theme to them. Hmmm.
Ze Empress went to ION Orchard (before I did even!) and decided to splurge on Varlhona chocolates - nice, but it's $55; price quite nice also:
I was pretty amused by the floods that caused the Bukit Timah cars to float. Woah. Anyway if they're staying in that prime area I'm sure they have the moolah for the servicing.
Look, umbrella floats on top of chair!
There was a historic moment one day, I think it was the day before my Cog Psych exam, where the brother made instant noodles for himself. With egg some more. And with a sister laughing hysterically by his side.
Haven't had such a good laugh in so long.
M: I'm vair tired, entertain me please.
B: Okay I'll do a rap.
*silence*
M: Oy, I'm still waiting.
B: Okay, I'll put it on my to-do list.
He still hasn't. Tsk.
M: Eh, China sending the two polar bears right, I think I heard that one of them is going to be called Mei Li.
B: What's the other?
M: I don't know leh, missed it.
B: Shuai!
M: Hahahaha! Please la, it'll be two words la!
B: Shuai Ge!
M: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
As it turns out, I misheard. It's neither. I think these were suggestions sent in by the public. I forgot what they're called. Oops.
Jadon's 1st Birthday
So it was nephew Jadon's birthday the Saturday prior to exams. His mama booked Aranda Chalet, somewhere we've gone before and totally loved cuz it was sooooo big. But no one (or not that I know off) stayed this time.
The two elder Zees and T complained that I came so late cuz they were waiting for me to reach before they started eating. Awwww sho shweet. But in the end, I was waiting for X to come before I ate. Heh. Oops.
X took ten million years to come and it was raining. I decided to be the hero that saved the damsel
When we came back, the two plates that I had saved for both mua and X had been graffiti-ed by a certain T. Haha. But they were vair pretty!
Decided to collage a few of the pictures cuz 1) save space; 2) some of them are of my family members whom I don't want to post such a big shot of them heh give them some privacy la my face I don't care; 3) lazy to upload soooo many pictures; there are already vair many.
Later on, another cake appeared! It was meant to be a surprise for H biaoge. And woah I admire them that they really could keep the secret man! Considering that it was a chalet and like, everything was just there for everyone to see! I wonder how they managed to keep it away from him, especially since he was walking around taking photos and all!
He was thoroughly shocked. And others were saying that he purposely want to steal the limelight hahahahaha.
Later on, we went back outside. And T continued to vandalise all the cups. Hahaha.
The following three pictures were hard to come by. T wanted to laugh, so I obliged her by doing something. And boy did she and X have such a gooooooood laugh until cannot take it. Hahaha. But we finally managed to get them taken. Heh.
The Great Airport Send-Off
The vair next day was the start of EE's 3-week long holiday. So he had decided a few months back that he was going to bring his family of four to tour the world, making yours truly super duper trooper jealous.
But it's okay, I was still vair nice, decided to still go and send him and the family off even though my paper started the next day.
And then they arrive!
The little girl was fascinated by it. And she made a vair funny remark:
See, the cherries are turning, they're getting giddy!
Hahahaha! Cute.
Decided to take a shot with her and with the cherries as the background:
And then they went in. The little girl was waving and waving and finding every nook and cranny and open part to keep waving at us. Awwwwww. She was vair happy too. Cute la.
And then we went to have lunch. We had porridge cuz we didn't feel like eating anything much. And boy was the porridge hot! And some more we only had like half an hour to eat it. So I went back to take two small bowls. Hahaha macam small kids like that.
And their A380 Airbus takes off!
Sigh. I wish I was on it too.
I was sick for the second time in two months. The previous time was cuz I had three projects due one after another. The current one was cuz of the exams. Wah lau.
Have you ever tasted cold cough drop before? It's vair ewww.
Remember to thaw it before drinking.
Empress: Wah, you exam need to invest a lot of things hor. Figs la, fish soup, tissue paper la.... (cuz I was spending every other waking minute shoving tissue up my nose)
Oops.
And drowsy medicine makes you have funny dreams. I mean funny as in laugh out loud. I was really laughing in my dream. I dreamt that I was in K biaoge's house, and was trying to find out how to bathe without the whole world seeing. And then he was like close the door lor! I went, oh ya hor got such a thing as a door.
Hahaha I have no idea. But I was just really laughing out loud man. Gawd what's wrong with me.
Dreamt of the currently touring around the world EE and family too! Haha. Abstract as usual, some major drama going on, can't really remember much already.
Look what ze Empress got me for me to eat while studying:
The blog hits and visits have been amusing.
found burberry wallet at school koufu - HUH?!
adjective form of despair - HAHAHAHA
"borzing" - HAHAHAHA
cuckoo clock ringtone
mhyee
cheongsam book pattern - HUH?!?!?
funny yun dong ge - HUH?!?!?
And I'm getting visitors from UK France Australia Poland Canada Finland US. EE is any of that you? Hahaha. I was thinking maybe the France one was you, but I think you were in Belgium then, so cannot be. Heh.
Thank goodness for coins.
That day I had to have $12.80 with me so that I could buy lunch for the whole family. I remembered that I only had a $10 in my wallet. So the minute I reached, I sat down and poured allllll my coins out.
I had the additional $2.80 needed, and 20 cents spare some more. Woohoo.
Take care of your pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Or something like that.
That day they culled crows at our place. I was like wow they still do that? The last time I saw crow culling was 10 years ago at Redhill!
Young punks do have some words of wisdom. Young punk #1 Z was nagging me to study. Young punk #2 B was asking me to relax.
Orh. Okay.
I have 600+ messages in my inbox, haven't cleared them for so long. Haiyo. And majority are super lame ones from some people who are busy stalking other people. Tsk.
That day when my cough had not really recovered, I ate wanton mee with chilli. Big mistake. Started coughing non-stop after that. Eeks.
One of the days in the midst of my exams we went to Mong Hing cuz I was sick and usually when I'm sick I'll eat fish. It's about the healthiest thing there is also la huh.
More Christmas decor!
And I'm vair annoyed. Does everyone periodically delete numbers off their handphones or something?! It's super annoying to send happy birthday messages to your friends only to get back a reply, Who's this? or Who are you? etc la! Haiyo. I didn't bother replying man. Forget it.
I keep having so many flashbacks of memories I haven't thought of for so so long. That day I suddenly remembered this MJ chem lecturer who had left already by the time I was in J2. And then I remembered the Perkafe there. Haha!
And smells, too, can really trigger memories. The other day I suddenly thought I smelled my eldest uncle's (father's side) old house.
Ze E happened to be in the room
E: Wah, like speaking Greek like that.
M: It's English!
E: But strung together sound like Greek.
Now I know why people like to listen sooooo loudly on their headphones. The surround sound rocks. And the singer sounds like he/she's singing especially to you. Waaahhhhh.
But no, I'm not going to spoil my ears man.
AND I'M VAIR AMUSED THAT NEXT TIME THERE WILL BE NO MORE PARKING GUIDING POLES HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA NEHHHHHH LUCKY I'VE ALREADY PASSED MY DRIVING LALALALALALALALALALALALALA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The brother is a bit split brain or something. That morning ze E told me that he could see his cup of water, the other cup of coffee, but couldn't see the bread. Lolzzz.
And I keep inflicting all the disorders on them. Ha!
But I accidentally said "don't throw the fork away" instead of "don't put down the fork for washing yet", and ze E immediately fired back, now what disorder is that?
Wah lau. Kena jacked by my own thing.
Ze b is a bit siao. That day he was forced to clean bird shit off the window cuz some bird slapped against it one fine day and did his biz there. He being the sick one was trying to smell it WAH LAU.
B: I'm going to google why bird shit got no smell. *types* Wah I typed 'why does' only then the search came out 'why does it always rain on me'. Ha!
M: Aiyo why so emo wan.
And finally finally finally exams are overrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
See my study area, in prep for the exams:
And after:
I firmly believe in 先苦后甜, so by last night I'd already packed everything neatly away! Heh.
And this morning when I walked to sit down at my table I was like wondering how come I could so conveniently just walk, cuz I remembered that I had to walk one whole big round prior. Then I realised it was cuz the past few weeks I put my books on the floor! And now, no more obstruction!
And I finally finally finally went to ION.
I like it there! (btw majority of the pictures - credits to her! Thank you!)
Went with J, and we decided to eat bits and pieces of everything, even though it may cost more than a main course. So first, I had youtiao, whereas she had 8 sausage balls.
We just walked around the food areas, and marvelled at an $18 caramel swiss roll. So ex!
And then suddenly we caught sight of something we had just talked about earlier...
Later we went to visit the washroom.
And girls being girls will always find time to camwhore, especially when the toilet is so nice. Haha.
We were busy taking photos until we forgot the time - J had an job appointment at 7pm. We reached the place at about 7.15pm. Oops. Haha.
So she's going to be a Nespresso promoter for the next 10 days. And yesterday she was being "trained" how to promote the coffee machines and how to make coffee too. The manager showed us both how, even though I wasn't part of it. Heh. So I also had free coffee to drink.
The machines are super cool and fun man. We had quite a lot of fun laughing, drinking coffee etc. Funny enough we weren't really worried about not being able to sleep but just finished every cup of coffee that the manager/she herself brewed. Heh. The manager was like, wah you all actually finish ah, it's okay to leave it!
She uploaded the pictures onto Facebook and called the album 'too much caffeine'. Ironically, we forgot to take pictures of the coffee and all. Hahaha kuakuakuaaaaa.
J I hope you're having fun at work! :D
Later, after almost 2 hours of coffee talk and drink which passed by like super fast it didn't feel like 2 hours at all, we went upstairs cuz I wanted to see the rest of the atas shops. Haha.
And then we went to another toilet.
And had another round of photo-taking.
And then we went out to walk the rest of Orchard Road to view the Christmas lights.
J: Excuse me, it's pear la. Avocado got no stalk lor.
HAHA oops. Didn't see the stalk at first mahhhh.
Then we went inside the Christmas tree itself!
Wah it's damn pretty inside!!! I was telling J that I'll change my handphone wallpaper to one of the following shimmering stuff after EE and family comes back.
On the way to Taka, she saw her fave brand. So she took a photo with the Burberry name.
Whereas I wanted to take picture with a vair pretty girl:
Soon we crossed the road cuz we wanted to go back to Tangs and hopefully see how her work place would look like. Too bad it was already closed by the time we got there.
And since it's so pretty that will be the last picture to end the post!
Yay the minute I turned on the radio this morning they kept playing nice songs yayyyy.
Phew finally done! The time I started was 10.56am. The time now is 6.27pm. Okay la, got sidetracked to read a few blogs first already while my photos were being uploaded. And also I ate lunch. Phew. 8 hours.
Done!

Dear Backbone,
May you stay as healthy as ever, and stay flexible okay. Some day, maybe 5, or no, how about after your 7th birthday, I still want to be able to put both my legs (I typed heads initially) over my head.
(Haha C when I can do it I'll inform you! I think you're only one of two people [the other being another C heh] who saw me do that before haha)
I just had to come online to wish you a happy 3rd birthday. You have had a few additional rods and screws for the past 3 years and you've adapted damn well. And you're still damn flexible. And today at the checkup the doctor found that you are still not of "adult bone" material yet! You still growing! That's nice.
May your scar fade soon so that I can wear bare-back stuff without feeling conspicuous. This sem I really didn't wear anything that showed off the scar leh heh.

Wow I'm getting visitors from the Bahamas, Netherlands, US, UK and and and, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Wah sounds cheem. Hello people from all over the world! FYI, in this sentence, cheem means 'grand and sophisticated'. Am increasing your dictionary knowledge of the words used in Singapore! :)
I know why I study better at home than in the school library though library is supposed to be better. Even though it's a library, I'll still whisper to my friend occasionally. Bad. The table space is too small for yours truly who likes to have separate stacks of notes strewn (what is the verb form of strewn ah? Wanted to use that word instead, but couldn't think of the word so need to rephrase the sentence) around the table in an orderly fashion. Bad. And most importantly, I keep worrying about the bleddy eruptive stomach of mine. At home, it can rumble all it wants and I don't care. To cure the problem, I'll keep eating. BAD BADDER BADDEST THING EVER.
Okay back to studying.
