The first thing i saw when i stepped into the chalet...

Haa.. guess i wont be missing my little Twinkle very much for the day.

Me and Jas wore the same tee!~ haha~ BE KIND TO ANIMALS!~

Wasted no time n headed to rent bicycles for the day.
Cycled up and down the dirt track..

CHEK JAWA; HERE WE COME~

And i suggested a gp shadow shot.. hee.. The sun was amazingly GOOD that day. Thank God for that, as it was raining heavily when we drove past PIE towards the jetty.


ha.. we TRIED to form a word here.. can tell?

A-N-I-M-A-L-S... give credits to Matt for making the gorgeous 'S' sign.. ha~
Good idea aint it.. My idea hor!~ hehehehe~

And made our way down the boardwalk, right into the sandy shores! It was low-tide so we managed to hop around the lagoon and take picy~

Balance! Shooting the star-fish in the shallow waters..
No star-fishy are harmed in this shooting. Returned immediately into the waters.

Headed back to chalet when it's closed to 6+.. Ta pao-ed dinner and feasted together. There after, GAMES time. My fave.. Heart Attack! and 007 and Murderer game.

What's games without forfeits??

Yeah.. Cucumber forfeit.

Me - 2pcs
Jas - 7pcs *POWER SIA*
Nena - 1pc
Matt - 4pcs
BH - 3 pcs
Marcus - 2 pc
Andrew - 1 pc... *bleah* hate cucumbers....

Den we played with sparklers!!!~ Hee... my first time playing sparklers too~ hee~

Huat ah~

Stars~

And of course A-N-I-M-A-L-S~
Ran out of sparklers.. So we played with our torchlights instead... hee

Cool animation ah? haha.. The power of a CANON DSLR~ WOOT~
and our obsession with ANIMALS continued~

Writing with our torchlights... hee~
We all had one attempt to write "ANIMALS" and i think i did a pretty neat job.. hee~ Remember that we have to write the words INVERTED!! Mine was underlined with a wavy line somemore. Some copycat did the same thing too~ haha

Think it was probably abt 2+am.. and i ate cup noodles.. giggled in the bed with the gers.. watch a bit of "xiao qian" on telly, before falling aslp. The guys woke me up...

Just in time to take this shot.
The moment just before day-break...

The chalet had a sea-view and we managed to capture the beautiful sunrise... :)
Waited for a couple of minutes before...


Totally chui-mode in the wee-early morning... Us just nua-ing outside the chalet...


After which.. we returned the bikes.. had hotdog-sardine-bread breakfast... and headed home...
*sad*

Well, we had lotsa fun.. haha~

I wanna come back again! To climb the quarry and just a nice overview of the island.... :D

My year has come and gone...
My little tikus(rat)..

Anyhow, New Year has been fun.
Reunion dine at my place. Last year we had a new addition (BB Juston) and for this year we have 1 more new addition.. TWINKLE Lee! ha.. See she's in the family portrait. :P

That's us in our lok-kok home clothes.. Just after the whole makan session. hee~

The next day is "pai nian day!" CHU-YI!!
My visiting day. The driver of the year again. ha~ We managed to cover the few regular-chu-yi houses. Somehow it feels like there are lesser and lesser houses to go to as the years go by.

My get-up:
Rose-printed Tunic
Grey Cardigan
Quilted Belt
Black Leggings
Marc Ecko super-bling Watch
Red Clutch
Red Pumps

On the contrary to most ppl, i enjoy CNY visitings~
I like traveling around with my family together for an entire day. Seriously, how often does one do that? To dress up and move around as a family. Of course, the ang paos are added bonus. And compliments of me being slimmer, prettier... That helps in many ways~ ;p

The weirdest thing is that i don't get to see most of my cousins...
Some married (disappear...)
Some overseas (in rome and US)
Some in SG but we just dont meet (hmm....?)

So my visits are mainly to see the old folks and just chitchat with them. Let them tell their story, hear my mom sharing stories of my dad being admitted. Everything is on a play-back mode.

So far, it's been fun!
Tired out with the Sentosa Flower Fest... on Twinkle's 1st Birthday.

Sentosa Flower Fest Photos
Sentosa Flower Fest (II)

The sun was BRIGHT and shining~ Super hot day, perfect for a flower photoshoot.
Perfect day out for the 2 little doggies. Thank God Nena brought her stroller.. hee~ So my monkey can hitch a ride, whilst i happily walk away to snap snap snap!~ My silly monkey was on the look-out for me all the time. hee. I love the way she sticks close to me. :P

We had yummy hotdogs at the underwater world. Hee. Lotsa exercise in exchange for that. No group shot that day cos noone carried out the HEAVIEST of heavy tripod. We were too shagged out by the end of the walk. Sometimes i truely wish that the day can go on and on and we can just continue to have fun and joke around. Teasing and disturbing each other. Guess we are somewhat of the same frequency. LOL.

Spent late-nights at friends places...
Entitlements of Chinese New Year. Since i know nuts about MJ, i just watch the teevee and nua at the place. HA. Tried my hand at guitar and managed the front portion of one song. teehee~

Many random stuff happening, We went T3 for photoshootin..
Decided to theme some of my shots as abstract.
Really random-ness shots

And of course, the happy-folks-i'm-with shots



My jelly beans!! <3 the array of colours!~
Most exciting stuff coming up my way. And i'm excited like a little bunny!

This song is playing in my head since i caught it when my girlfriends! I think i'm a closet-ABBA fan. I know ALL THE songs in the "Mamma Mia" movie! The movie is such a hit amongst me and my friends! Really brings the nostalgic feeling! Man~ i remember hearing these tunes when i was growing up. My mom's fave songs; which she used to play on the stereo..

Sumi... i'm 100% sure you enjoyed it now!!! dun live in self-denial! *super trooper lights are gonna find me~* Tat's YOUR song! heehee~ We ladies had a ball of a time watchin this hilarious musical movie. And Sab! your "money.. money.. money~~"...

One thing's for sure; Mr handsome-and-oh-so-charming Pierce Brosnan CANNOT act in a musical. Singing: FAIL! Please go back to being your Bond, James Bond. The entire movie is basically singing the Abba hits. The way the scene is nicely set for each Abba song to fit in perfectly. Throughly enjoyed it! I was luffing my heart out thru' the show. Especially the calefares would pops up of NOWHERE and started joining in the song and acting all silly. Hunks who act all silly with their flippers; dancing on the jetty dock. So CUTE!

This movie is Highly recommended by ME!
Lame story plot. But enjoyable show as a whole.

After which... we headed to the Minds Cafe!! For old-school card and board games!~ I love playing such games.. cause it's just plain good-old-FUN! We requested for "stupid stupid" games.. haa.. dun wan any chim games~

In 2 hours.. We played:
1) Ugly Dolls (winner- sab!)
Something like snap!
We are supposed to shout uglydolls!! when we see matching cards. but i just end up screaming my head off. LOL.










2) Pink Elephant (winner - who ah?) Card game..
Something like taboo.. haa.. some funny actions to do..

3) Chicken Cha Cha (winner -ME! blue-chicken!!)

I.. little miss BLUE CHICKEN, won this! Objective is to steal tail feathers fr the other chickens. hee~ Memory game, i won though i have serious short term memory.











4) Sitting Ducks (LOSER - sab)


All of us gang up against SAB! KILL ALL HER YELLOW DUCKS!~









5) Snorta! (winner - who ah?)

To call up the person's *hidden* animal sound when we see matching cards. But after the SWAP card is shown.. we were "woofing.. chi-chi-ing.. quacking.. ku-ku-ku-ing~" away.. haa.. SUPER FUN!











I wanna come back AGAIN!
*psst... NTU staff and student have 10% off! Me is NTU staff!*

Finally we ended up with FOOD.. as usual.. Headed to Mad Jack at Prinsep street. And suddenly i realised i have 2 "boyfriends" i never knew of.. and i have a whole wonderful group of matchmakers around. Thanks ah ppl. I shall await for the surprise this saturday. I wan my "blush.. blush.." song. Please be original ah!

I love my girlfriends.. I love their company.. Their ability to just make me luff till i have a sore throat. Luff till i pengz.. ha~


On the other note..
My exam last friday was hmm.. ok ok. i guess. I GAVE UP on Duncan's part cause obviously i don't think i even understand a single thing he explain. I tried.. i REALLY tried. I can almost DIE of frustration. His formulas dun make any sense to me. Enthalpy, entropy, gibbs, hess are NOT my best-friends. I dun have a single clue wad's a state function. Physics is not my kind of stuff. I pinned ALL my hopes on Dr Baker's portion; whose stuff seems slightly more do-able.

All i hope for this is to just SCRAPE through. I don't need a distinction for this one. Just a pass would do. *sigh... i dun wanna retake this, man.... i really really dun wan to... :( * All i can do now is pray and wait for the results in 2 mths time.

Till my next exciting day again~ Au revoir~

Even twinkle had fun...

Chilling out (illegally with twinkle) after this.....

Awesome day... Tiring...

Labels: outing

Why don't we have half-days on Friday? Just in celebration of the "National's Birthday"? :( NIE just ain't that kind to us employees huh? Was rather surprised to see a SEA OF RED AND WHITE in the canteen! Nowadays still so on with colour-combi one meh? ha~ So many folks in red and white! I guess cause they are teachers-to-be; might as well get in the mood just like in teaching days.

Quite sad for me to end my day with school AGAIN. Man.. i som-pa this is the WORST subject i've studied till date. Guess this time i really have to put in effort to do scrape through this module.. Gibbs free energy law.. TEN THOUSAND other laws.. All sort of subscript; Q=heat, W=work, H= dunno-simi law.. like WHO CARES about thermo-dynamics? i don't.. and i can't believe that i have to learn my mathematics AGAIN!! Ln, Differentiation, Integration.. the last time i did all these was like a freaking 8 years ago??? *yes tat's how OLD i am. ha!* Any physics and chem students? or teachers? i could really use some help..

NIE library.. here i come..
Atkin's book of physical chemistry.. here i come..
*Please don't let someone else borrow that book before me!*

National day = public holiday = i can drive my car out in the morning!
Figured to jio a dog run outing on a saturday morn; but all don't give face except one. PUI~ wadever. Headed down still with Princess. Ta-bao Mac for breakfast into the West Coast Dog Run. Just love the environment of the WCDR since i went there during the NDW last week. Unleashed Twinkle when we settled at the bench in the dog-run. She sticks rather close to me though i wanted her to go play with her new friends more. *just realised it might be because i have already trained her to lie down quietly at my feet when i'm sitted at home* ha! Clever Twinkle.

Made couple of friends there. Found Princess' Dad! haa.. It's a silky with the EXACT same colour combi fur coat! A little bully JRT pup.. couple more.. I even finished up a roll of film (anyhow snap) with my vivi; will post the pictures once i find time to get it developed. Had a nice and fun morning there. :D

Still going for another picnic with my friends and Twinkle tmr! cause it's HOLIDAYS! woot~ *happy* But i still have school tmr night. How sad... Sometimes i just wish that holidays never ends. Why can't it.....

Labels: holiday, outing, ranting, twinkle

insanely packed with who-knows-what...

School takes up a pretty big portion of my life, so much so that i feel i'm in dire need to break out and find my own space for myself. I feel bad for no having time for cell gp and i miss my cell-mates (pun not intended) so much! I miss not meetin God with everyone on the friday. I miss you guys. I miss all the teasing. I miss just fellowshipping together. I feel like i'm missing out on SO SO SO much. :( :( :( Hope to get back soon once my schedule "sort-of" clears up. *sigh*

I'm progressing into my final year *grasp!* This fri's exam will conclude my second year modules. No more light-weighted stuff. :( I saw my next module's schedule and it's ................ indescribable. The amount of commitment that is required is................... indescribable. I look at the number of practicals PER WEEK and imagine the amount of reports i have to write. Things just doesn't look as bright anymore. I shall not lament anymore on my predicament. Not like it's gonna help anyway.

Just one more year... ONE MORE YEAR of suffering, then it'll all be worth-while.

YES, i can do it.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. :)

The weekend was great though. With great friends around.
Saturday started out with WORK; ushers for VIP to NTU's graduation ceremony. I had nice uncle D as my partner and it was a pleasure working with him and other nice colleagues. Fun-injected time i had. Made some new friends who works in different parts of my company who were "volunteered" for this job, just as i did. That took up more than half of my day.

Afternoon was spent with my darling twinkle, gave her a quick bath (once again; i got all wet) and spend the rest of the afternoon lazing around, wasn't feeling all that well but just having her around brightens up my day! :D

Come evening time, hopped over to uncle jh's new place for house-warming. Picked up Andrew on the way. (I'm just being TOO NICE as always. HA!) Beautiful house with a 4k ice-popping, water dispensing SAMSUNG fridge! WAHAHAHAHA~ i just love to tease him. hehe.. I can't believe we were THAT early. -____-||| We reached about 7pm and the rest came only at 8+? Now i know who to ask for meetup timings. LOL. At least i wasn't alone so that wasn't so bad. A Black on white concept. More of a contemporary feel to his house. Just love the cosy corner with the NY sky scape wallpaper on it. We had our plans to draw ppl on the buildings. Draw superman and spiderman on the buildings. Find a KingKong sticker and paste in on the building. LOL. We are hilarious. Like seriously. hahaha~

His bed is the most POWER bed i sit on. Simmons'.... what do YOU expect. It's super comfy, soft yet not too soft. Seriously, like the queen's bed. I've never heard of pillows WITH SPRINGS IN IT. His did. We, the ladies, laid back IN his bed (teehee..) and just have some girls' talk. **secret** Certain points were brought up made me wonder is that what i want in my life? To disturb my peaceful life, right now? The trade-off dun seems that good to me.. That's definitely not i want. Let's just see how things go... hmmm......

Anyhow, it was getting late. I'm tired and feeling even sicker already. *burning throat.. teary eyed...* DEN, we stumbled upon Andrew and Rick playing Wii!! hehe.. i've NEVER played that before so i want to PLAY! It was FUN FUN FUN!!!! Me and Angelyn (2 newbies) tried playing tennis. WAHAHA~ playing tennis like doing some kungfu stunts. Whacking the bat madly all around. heehee~ It's very easy to pick up and EVERYONE should play wii!~ It's like super addictive. Played bowling as well and i got a double strike! *dun play play!* I sux at real-life bowling btw. ha. The funniest has got to be playing the boxing. After watching Nena and Rick play it, i'm NEVER touching that game. Totally no clue how to play it even after watching them. The spectators... me, serene, angelyn, andrew were luffing our asses off. I luff till i teared. serious. *pengz*

It was getting really late for me.. so decided to siam home. I've church the next day so well.. must know my limits. hee~

SUNDAY; I should have rested at home. But i just wanna go to church to praise God!! It's just in me already. It's only AFTER i reached church that i realised i was quite sick. My throat was hurting, my eyes can't open, my body was aching. -.- So much for trying to keng through. Once again, God never fails me. :) I just love to sing praises to Him. It's always worth it.

After church, stubborn me still decided to proceed on with my plans to meet my besties~ I cna't miss this gathering cause FINALLY after 10 thousand years, the three of us are able to finalise a date, time n place to meet. The last time we met was like in ................... ...................... ............. ................ er............ ................ ..................... .................... *i can't remember* I only know it was at a jappy restaurant. It was LAST YR. But sometimes best friends just don't have to meet that often. We still are in the same frequency; same wavelength. Ah Xia is still Ah Xia. Ah Rong is till Ah Rong. And i love them to bits!!!~

Girls' Talk all over again. And Ah Rong has plans for marriage! *SEE I TOLD YOU THE WHOLD WORLD'S GETTING MARRIED!* Really thrilled for her. Her plans seems to be on-hold though, but i'm sure God will see her through it all. :)

Ah Xia wanted to get a photo-printer and so qiao, there's a roadshow on IT products, more qiao, what she wanted was on a half-price sales!!!! So me and Rong were there to "help" her. HA! Squeeze the SA dry. MUAHAHAHAHA~ We really tried our best to get him to "throw in" more and more stuff. Managed even get nice print-out of the 3 of us too! :D

Went home with a promise to meet up again. As usual. hee~

Felt a little guilty for neglecting my dear twinkle. So brought her out for a walk. Just one small circle around my estate before heading home. Normally her walks are much longer than that. But I really cannot tahan anymore. *sick sick sick*

So now... I'm sick with 2 days mc. Body aching, mind's half-aslp. :( I hate being sick. Pray for my health okie? and Pray for my practical exam on this weds and my finals on this fri.

Just pray for me. I need all of it. :)

Brought Twinkle to Pasir Ris Park for a little walk.

First time she sit in her carrier,
First time she saw so many people,
First time she saw sand and the sea,
First time she saw AND ride on a bicycle,
First time she felt the sea breeze...
