Papa and Emily's Birthday! 3rd March

My belated birthday post!


Did dinner with my family, Alvin and Felix at Pearl River Restaurant..


Chinese Buffet, with a one time order of Peking Duck (Yummy!), Buddha Jump over the Wall (this dish was so named cause Buddha smelled the aroma of this highly exquisite soup while walking and was so eager to taste it that he jumped over the wall despite being a vegetarian! LOLOLOL) , and live prawns.


We stopped at 12 dishes.
But the manager came over, checked and list and commented, ‘Bu zhi de!’ (not value for money!) and ordered 2 more dishes fer us.

That makes 14!
We couldn’t take it anymore.
There was still a huge durian cake waiting fer us to devour back home!



Monkeying around after dinner while I went to the ladies(!)



HAH, I like my new shirt from Desigual. Say ‘Beethoven’ in Chinese?! HEH!
Someone once told me about a Beethoven joke during dinner that caused me to laughed non-stop and almost got choked!



In our few days old 7-seater car (before and after dinner)


Back home!
Alvin got papa and I my favourite cake!

Think I had seafood overload (4 types of prawns, 2 fish, abalone, sharksfin..).. I broke out in weird rash!
It started out with 9 mosquito bite swells and it soon spread into masses.
At first I thought nothing of it and thought there were mosquitoes in the restaurant.
Thank God it subsided a few hours after applying calamine lotion.
I didn't photoshop the photos.. So you can see the slight bumps on my left arm!



Darling and I!



Sisters and I!



Family and I!



My present from Alvin in a nice crisp and gold wrapper..



Hidden beneath was a Sandwich Maker which I’ve yet to use!
I wanted one long ago after eating the chilled peanut butter sandwich in Korea!
Whenever I bite into the sealed and chilled sandwich

Puke on Train - 28th Feb

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP RIGHT AFTER THE SOUTHERN RIDGES HIKE!
ON the way back home on the MRT...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


A boy about age 9 puked on the train.
I felt it as soon as it happened.

FELT, because 2 invisible drops landed near my ankle.
Eeewargh. (headed straight fer the ladies after I got off the train)
I was standing quite a distance away but still..

But this was not the reason that made me blog..
It was because almost immediately, there was a rush of Samaritans extending their help.

A guy gave one of his NTUC plastic bags, an auntie gave one of her handkerchief fer the mom to clean up the mess, another offered the boy water, an uncle patted the boy’s back to soothe him, and the list goes on.

Me? I offered my entire packet of tissue.

At this poignant moment, I felt the warmth of Singaporeans.
A Singapore’s National Day song resounded in my head..
'This is home, surely..'
Corny, c'mon.. but really!

Southern Ridges - 28th Feb

The last Saturday of the mid-term break was spent hiking at Southern Ridges.

Had a hearty Macs breakfast at Harbourfront mall before setiing off..



Didn’t know the Marang Trail was just a stone throw away!

Of all the trails along Southern Ridges, Marang Trail was the ‘toughest’ to walk.
(Toughest with the apostrophes because it was nothing compared to what I had climbed at Halla Mountain!)

Still, Amanda became all white and pale midway up! (see cover photo)

Till today, there was still no explanation fer it.
Regina said ‘we still couldn’t find a reason! She was walking slower than me.. Was the one running up but I didn’t feel anything.. haha.. Suddenly I turned around she was on the steps already.. I (am) shocked.’ – The Emborghini News.




Some along the way scenes..



Reached Mt Faber and there were 2 stationery cable cars, purrfect fer kodak moment!



Henderson W~A~V~E!
Did a waveeeeeee video and attempted many jumps here. Hahaha..



At Canopy Walk doing a march down.
It just zigged zagged all the way through the canopy.
A lil' bit ridiculous, even though there's a short cut.



Finally! We reached our destination - HOrT(iculture) Park!



Regina trying to do an Amanda-hair-swirl.
Do you think she passed?

The sun was scorching hot by then. Thanks to my SPF 150 Sunblock, I was the only one who wasn't burnt! Alvin wasn't too actually and he has his dark hide to thank fer. HAHA.

Despite the searing heat, we still had fun playing a maze-ball game.
The best flowers were at the greenhouses.. Unfortunately, they were all locked up!



Till then Folks, it was lunch at Vivo with Candice and Lahiri after that!
Till Alvin and I edit the video too!

100th Post at L' Emborghini!

Well, I shall dedicate it to a lil' panda, who sneezed.

E-Hub Excursion - 24th Feb

YEAH, I STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FER

KINDERGARTEN EXCURSIONS! =)


Sounds so old school huh?
Haha..

My ex-boss called me up to help take the kids to E-Hub at Pasir Ris!
Where's E-Hub?! It seemed I haven't been keeping up with times..

So the ferris wheel at Downtown East is called E-Hub, a huge wonderland fer lil' tots.
I didn't know it's called E-Hub. It's a Children's Wonderlanddd..



Took care of 2-turning-3 playgroup toddlers.
Honestly, I was disappointed fer a moment cause I had already befriended the Nursery kids before I was introduced to Playgroup kids.

Was praying that the Playgroup 2 won't poop when I'm in charge of them too. LOL.


Thankfully, Playgroup 2 was a great bunch too! Extremely adorable!
Had the opportunity to be isolated with them when we boarded the ferris wheel.
This lil' boy named E**** (fergot, heh) talked like a 6 year old!

I miss them!!

Bumboat Ride! - 21st Feb

Bumboat ride was pretty ‘cool’!

Hahaha, just because we got it fer FREE. WHEE!
But not before we spent almost an hour queuing fer it!

Singaporeanss. Heyyy.. NO!
This shall be my FIRST and my LAST time.

The experience I’d say was ridiculously time-wasting.


Reasons fer why I decided to take up the STB Promotion Ride:
No. 1 - Start of mid-sem break.
No. 2 - Wanted to sit the Flyer fer free. (Note: I’d only pay to sit the flyer after the IR is up)

So how did we end up with the bumboat ride?
KIASU Ssssingaporeans!

Sheesh. Even before the Flyer started to operate fer the day, people had already been queuing up overnight.
The queue at the Flyer’s station was horrendous.

Overnight fer a flyer?
Ok, at least this was more acceptable than queuing up fer Hello Kitties. (comparing monetary value)
Still, this was totally absurd.


That’s how we landed up with the next free attraction since we're already up and about!



Sia la. Look at the queue. (fergot to take a photo of the Flyer’s queue!)
We’re the first batch to take the ride, so it wasn’t that bad.

Amanda and Alvin complained that we’re being so loserish.
Heck. I say the woman with a GUCCI bag in front of us was the ultimate loser.
Perhaps, that’s a fake too?! LOSER.



We were lucky to be able to snap a picture of the Merlion just before it got struck by lightning!
(This reminded me of being able to take photos of Dondaemun, S.Korea before it got burned down)



Lunch was at The Central, a Ramen place.
Alvin’s and Amanda’s friends raved about the ramen here.
VFM? I don’t think so. Ajisen’s more VFM and even nicer.


O yes, and we caught a Jap movie, K-20, with Regina later in the afternoon!


At least, it was an activity packed day.
Thank you Lord fer making everything come around fer good! =)

Class Gatherings

JC Class gathering held at Ms Lam's place on the 30th of Dec 2008!

Around 20 came, but I hadn't receive any photos from the rest of the girls!

p.s. I finally knew how to play Bridge (taught by the guys)!
Beginner's Luck, won 4 rounds. haha





And the long awaited Secondary school class gathering!

Half of our class girls made it fer dinner at Waraku's on the 15th of Feb 2009 at ECP.



And this is the seating arrangement of our class at Katong Convent Secondary.. 7 years ago!

Regina's 23rd - 7th Feb

Yeap!

The girl's grown a year older now!

Her 23rd birthday was held 2 weeks after her actual at Sushi Tei and we had a lo hei!


Bet this was the smallest group all of us had lo-hei-ed with.
And also speaking? whispering? blessings over us in English while lo-hei-ing.

Miss Candice felt so surpressed till she suddenly shouted HUAT AR!
LOL!

Embarrassing!

Embarrassing!

Freaking embarrassing!


I was on at the porch minding my stuff when I let out a shriek that tore through the night!!

My neighbour who had been skipping at his porch (at 11.40pm) immediately looked over the wall to see what the commotion was.
‘Are you ok?!’

Still staring at IT, I looked up to where the voice was.
It’s been 5 years of since I moved here; I hadn’t met my neighbour in the eyes before.
What an awkward situation (fer me)!!

I stared at him and all I could say was, ‘O, Cockroach!’ before looking down again, terrified at the possibility IT might scurry across my feet.

‘O’, and he went back to skipping as if nothing happened.


After realizing what I said, I felt like burying my head six feet under!
Simply BIMBOTIC and RUDE!!! (Didn’t even thanked him fer his concern!)
Worse, I was dressed to the nines, (just got back from Vday’s dinner) so unglam! What would he have thought of me!


I was actually planning to feed my hamsters before I saw the gigantic stinking roach, so I ran in and shouted ‘Ah Konggggggg, wu ka zhua!’. (there’s a cockroach!)

‘Cockroach also scared!’ (Conversed in hokkien)

‘Yes, but I AM scared!’ and made sure the conversation dragged on and on while I scanned through every nook and cranny (jumping back each time I pushed something aside just in case the stinking roach was there) and finally said, 'ok, bo liao!!' (no more).

‘wa ka lu gong bo liao lu bo xiong xin.’ *yawned* (I told you it isn’t there anymore, you don’t believe.)

'Ok, lu ay sai ki kun liao.’ (you can go and sleep already.) Hahaha.


At the background, I could still hear the thumping of my neighbour’s skipping. -.-

Bleah. I bet he overheared our conversation and was rolling his eyes as he skipped.

May they over-roll till he can’t recognize me if we ever meet again!


Hur hur hur hur hur.. HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
