Twenty One.

The past year had been a ride for me, and in a flash I’m already 21 now.

Birthday celebration on that very day itself has been a simple and meaningful celebration. Thank you all, I love you. <3

And on Saturday, I met up with my girls to celebrate the birthday of Yi En’s and mine!

We had our brunch + dinner at Loola’s by Awfully Chocolate, a visit for the Garden’s by the Bay and finally ended up in KBox for a late night K Session!

Happy Birthday Yi En! Cheers for more great years ahead!

Piknik!

My first ever picnic with my girls!

It was an impromptu event therefore all of us bought food instead of cooking them. I rushed down from an event and so I was in charge of snacks and drinks. Haha.

天不作美!The sky was gloomy that day and it was drizzling for a few minutes. We finally gave in and retreated to the sheltered space to have our picnic instead. Zzzz

But after our food we went back up again!

Our one and only best Polaroid shot that day!

I think my Zr-100 is damn awesome for night shots. It is taken with flash but all of us doesn’t look overexposed.

Me thinks I should bring my camera to Hong Kong in September.

And my attempt at taking a picture of the night view:

We were very lucky to see fireworks that day! But unfortunately I need to brush up on my firework taking skills cos everything came out in a blur or this:

Jenny’s 21st Birthday Celebration

It was Jenny’s 21st birthday celebration last Saturday!

Alot of people couldn’t recognise me after I cut my fringe. Some says I looked like my sister haha! Optical illusion!

I kinda like my bangs. ;)

Ya know we had a sleepover and before that we were doing facial masks and getting Jenny to unwrap her presents!

Jenny was also very sweet to prepare goodie bags for the each of us, inside is a card inside and some cutesy stuff.

I also brought my girls some masks and other goodies for them to try! Good things must share! I also bought lip glosses and mascara for them too. :D

The 3 of us geh-siao, pretending to be asleep while Jenny unwraps her presents. But seriously though, it was like near 3am in the morning and all of us were indeed very tired and sleepy… LOL.

I totally look forward to the next celebration when the next girl in my clique turns 21!

Out with my fave girls last year

Yesterday I spent my afternoon with my fave girls at Jones, Mandarin Gallery!
It’s been a long time since the 4 of us got together for a meal. All of us were busy with our own lives and usually it’s either 2 or 3 of us met up.

We ordered cakes and finger food since it’s mid-noon when we got there. Too late for brunch.

My black forest coffee is yumz~

Joy to the World

My Christmas holiday was awesome! I didn’t have my camera with me but iphone has helped me captured some moments. :)

We had a small gathering in the office on Friday and look at the little gifts from my colleagues!

A parcel was lying on my bed waiting to be opened on the same night.

Guess what? My watch finally arrived safely!

How was your Christmas? I hope it had been eventful. :)

Meetup!

Yi En got her first pay and therefore decided to treat us to dinner!

We went to a really nice and cozy place for dinner, located just opposite The Substation!

I’m kind of lazy right now to write out some descriptive words of each pictures, so just see the pictures for yourself and imagine the fun we had. :D :D :D

I think this place is great for chilling! Will definitely visit again! :)

Oh yes btw, I did this “chok” face because of the new cantonese word I learnt.
Everyone let’s say this word: chok 样

Seen before pumpkin soup with pumpkin seeds as toppings?

Cherie’s 21st!

I took soooo long to get down to blogging about Cherie’s 21st birthday!
The event happened 2 weeks ago!

Anyway, Cherie booked a nice cozy hotel room near Boat Quay (Studio Hotel M) for her 21st!

A large wall painting and huge winows by the bed. So cozzzzzyyyyyy~ I like! There’s also a second floor, nicely decorated with balloons!

And Cherie captured a picture of me using her camera:

Balloons along the way:

And balloons on the second floor ceiling:

Birthday Girl Cherie!
She’s the first one in the our girls clique to reach 21!

With ke lian de YIEN! Work and work all day. So difficult to see her nowadays haiiiiiiiii.

With Jenny, Cherie and Andric! I find Andric looking more muscular nowadays since he entered army!

Kaikai’s spastic face and us! LOL.

More spastic face of Kaikai:

It was potluck that day so each of us bought food to the party!

Yien brought seaweed chicken (surprisingly it’s edible :P ), Andric bought snacks, Kaikai and I bought flavored egg tarts and more were coming!

Watching Laughing Gor’s Turning Point on Funshion:

 After which it was time to cut the cake! We had two cakes because one of them was made by Kai Lin and the other was bought by Cherie’s family!

I swear Kai Lin is a multi talented person! Studied Landscape Architecture, Psychology (briefly), knows Korean language and bakes well! Everyone agrees that the cake tastes so good! Yum yum~ 

It’s a tiramisu cake, so when it’s sliced and distributed, everyone gets a slice that looked like this:

 Machiam single slice cake from a cake shop/cafe! Mad talented!!!

Here’s a photo of Cherie and her family!

And of course group shots before game and forfeit starts:

We had a round of UNO afterwards and here’s a picture of Ronn blowing balloons as his forfeit!

Kai Lin, Sam, Boyfie and I had to go off first! So we didn’t stay for the night with them at the hotel!

Such a short night but we had fun!

All of us shared a gift for Cherie and we got her a bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume! Didn’t take a picture of that but glad she loved it!

Ok that’s all about it. I’m starting to reminiscing the fun already~

CCKSS Family Carnival

It seems more like a meet up with secondary school friends and teachers rather than enjoying the fun fair. It’s not fun at all anyway.

With my higher chinese classmates and Meifoong!

With Simin, my classmate and close friend in school.
She make me look so short by wearing wedges! So unfair! :(

With Mei Foong! I’m so glad I met her in Drama Club.

There are a lot more pictures we took like with our favorite English teacher Mdm Prema, Mr Kong and Mr Tan Wee Liat.

I kinda miss the school because of things we do in school. Secondary school days are always the time where people do stupid things. Ha-ha-ha~

Childhood Memories

I’m not born with fantastic memory but there are a lot of past memories etched in my head for the longest period of time. I can remember names of my childhood friends and classmates too!

1) I remembered that my old house number was 339 because it’s the oposite number of the radio station.
I remembered being isolated by my nursery classmates during play time because I accidentally made her tower of blocks fall. What a nasty girl!

2) I remembered exchanging stickers with my kindergarden friend Fang Yi and pasted them on my wardrobe (and got scolded by mum)

3) I remembered my Primary 1 teacher always use textbooks, markers, duster or whatever she holds and throw towards me when I talk in class. And they always hit my head! I took my mum to complain to the school about the teacher hitting my head. From then on, I was free to talk. Hahaha.

4) I remembered sweeping the class during recess time with my group. My class monitor always shouted “bell ring!” seconds before the bell rang and we will all rush for recess.

5) I remembered tearing pages off my spelling book in Primary 2 to pass notes to my friend. My teacher caught me and questioned me about my very thin exercise book. I said that they fell out by themselves.

6) I remembered watching my class monitor in P2 almost got choked to death after a boy in my class forced him to swallow a piece of tissue paper. Siao!

7) I remembered being the favorite student of a P3 English teacher. He went to Bangkok with his girlfriend and bought me a hello kitty handkerchief.That same teacher gave his lunch to me when he knew it was my birthday.
8 ) I remembered my sister’s classmate Felicia asked me to pass a note to my P4 English teacher because they find him wearing shorts disgusting (he’s also a PE teacher).
This teacher was also the one who told me that wearing contact lens can reduce the degree of shortsightedness.

9) I remembered planning my own birthday party and invited Xinpei, Jenny and Shufen to it.

10) I remembered hitting my P5 classmate Zhaoyang with a bottle when he tried to damage my house keyboard during a project meeting.

13) I remembered playing badminton at the void deck below my house with my sis, Guiyu and Xinyu.

14) I remembered being a chairperson in P6, and that everyone hates it because I was too objective.

15) I remembered going to Lot 1 with sis, Guiyu and Xinyu one day and we got accused of stealing a $1 ring. After the CCTV showed nothing, we were let off. My sister got super pissed and she led the whole group back to the store and scolded the shopkeeper!

16) I remembered writting a 10000 word composition with Danna, Shushian and Ziqin in Secondary 1. We were told to write 500 words but clearly we overshot. I think we can become TV Script Writers!

17) I remembered running in the rain to Lot 1 with Xinyi, Yuxuan and Shushian after Higher Mother Tongue supplementary during school holidays.

18) I remembered going to Ten Mile Junction with Diana, Joanne and Shushian and Joanne and I recorded our singing while waiting for LRT in Sec2.

19) I remembered sitting in the canteen every morning with Junyi talking nonsense in Sec 3. After Junyi became busy with O Levels, I moved to the parade square to sleep until Mei Foong came.

20) I remembered getting to know Ling at a flourisher meeting and imo is the best part ever happened to my life. I rarely have close and good friend and I’m glad she’s one of them!

21) I remembered going to Blogskins.com BBQ outing at Pasir Ris Park. Huiwen, Shuhui and I wore self painted shirts. I made a mess and I cut a huge hole at the back of my shirt which everyone referred it as the “Hole-ly shirt” at the BBQ.

22) I remembered going to Ben & Jerry’s with blogskins people: Ben, Hito & Huiwen. We told Ben to treat us to the Vermonster icecream. He really did!

23) I remembered chatting with Scott almost every night but stopped after he graduated from college and had to work. Now I wondered where did he went to.

24) I remembered going to Ikea with Ling and Renhui and settled down at Queenstown mac and watched rh making Christmas cards.

25) I remembered spending more than 6 months rehearsing for a play with Weepeng, Wenling and Hazel.

26) I remembered cleaning up the Drama room with Weepeng and Sze Siong and throwing away an old computer without informing the school.

27) I remembered bursting into tears during a sharing session after the hols in Sec4 because everyone in higher mother tongue class went to China and came back with exciting stories except me. Hahahaha I’m sucha cry baby!

28) I remembered Kai coached me for math every Sunday at woodlands library and I’m a terrible student.

29) I remembered eating Nonya dumplings every morning for breakfast with Meifoong and Mitch at the school canteen.

30) I remembered cutting Benjamin James’s arm with a pen knife and recording it down! I’m so sorry Benji!

31) I remembered going to Subway at Shaw Towers to study with Ling for O Levels. She was preparing for her A’s.

32) I remembered eating MacDonald’s icecream at FC1 with Mae, Daniel, Zhi Ning, Cherie, Yi En, Teck Leong and Youjian after completing our ICE in Poly Year 1. An icecream after a tiring project made me feels so happy.

33) I remembered spending 3 nights at the Tree Wizard’s home studio making models with Yi En, Kevin, Cherie, Teck Leong and Zhi Ning. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever done!

34) I remembered eating mamee maggie almost everyday during Year 2 until everyone calls me the Mamee girl. I always go to NTUC during lunch to buy snacks and Sam called me the NTUC auntie.

35) I remembered calling my Lecturer Mr Richard gay on twitter when he went over to Zi Long instead of me during CAD lesson. And the worst thing is that he saw the tweet when Far logged on to her twitter and it became been a class joke ever since.

36) I remembered the girls called me a Tortoise because I wore a green shirt and leggings one day and carried a bag pack at looked like a shell on my back.

37) I remembered going to Snow City with Yi En and Cherie on Christmas Eve and we met Sam after that and roam around in Orchard Road at 3am in the morning.

38) I remembered the never ending projects in Year 3 but I’m glad I sat with Yi En, Cherie and Kai Lin in class because I can disturb them.

39) I remembered Yi En calling me a wild boar (I have no idea why come to think of it) and ever since I’m her pet pig.

40) I remembered going to movies with Kai on our first date and I forgot to bring my phone!

41) I remembered giving nicknames to Kai and kept on changing names for him. His current nickname is Momo.

How much of the past memories can you remember? :D
