-トキドキ-

ほら！昨日私買ったのかばんのプリント！かわいいぃね！！！＾－＾

だいすき！！！このプリント見るとき、気持ちがいいわよ！かばんは特別でしょう？！そう思うけど。。。アァ。。。大丈夫、大丈夫　＞＿＜

日本語で書いたとき、日本語クラースを思い出しました。あぁ。。懐かしいなぁ！本当ににほんご４がつづきたいんけど、怖いです。

I often buy things because i'm attracted to the beautiful colours of the object rather than the practicality or necessity of it all. Hahaha, but that has not always been the case. I used to like dark colours. ALOT. Actually, i still do but there was a period of time in my life my clothes, my bags, shoes, etc were all either dark blue or black. Contrary to what some people might think, i was not going through a dark period of my life. In fact, that was the period whereby i was most carefree and free of worries!


I don't know what caused my sudden change. Perhaps it was because i opened my closet and saw all the same colours... or maybe i worried about people thinking that i don't seem to be changing my clothes because of the likeness of the tops i had... Hahaha whatever the case, colours entered my life ^-^


This week has been a relatively busy week. OOoh i'm addicted to bowling once again. Went bowling on Monday night and realised to my horror that my already lousy bowling skills have deteriorated even more!!! The skills that i had painstakingly practised over countless months had once more gone down the drain..with the bowling ball -__-


Yesterday i bought my much needed printer! No more cut-off lecture notes! No more printing in school! No more calling friends for help. YAY!


Today, shopping with cy! Hahaha we managed to get the stuff we went out in search for but she bought more than planned. Though i did receive a warning from my mother to curb my spending. Ooops.. But that was pretty unfair because i have not been shopping lately. It's strange that my mother rants non-stop about the number of bags i have but she doesn't stop herself from buying more shoes. Hahaha, the shoe cupboard is not enough for her! At least my closet still has alot of space left after my recent clear-out :)

-Alicia's 21st-

We went for Alicia's 21st birthday party on Friday where there were a number of funny incidents!

Incident 1:

Her house is situated in a rather secluded area and is not accessible by public transport except for taxis. Yeap! Rich people's residence! All of them drive, methinks, or simply can afford to call for cabs everytime they need to leave their houses. Better still, they probably have drivers!

Anyway, having explained that, Cy, Anne and i cabbed to Ali's house from YCK mrt station and there were still peak charges! -_- Okay, that isn't the point.

Alicia lives in X, Saraca HILL but the cab driver stopped us outside X, Saraca ROAD. What was more there was a group of guys standing outside X, Saraca ROAD. So even though the house seemed pretty dark and very locked up for a party to be going on...I mean, we would expect the gates to be wide open if there's a party going on eh?!...yups, anyway so we thought it's the right place but here was what happened..

TaxiUncle: Are you all sure it is here ah? So dark leh...

CY: Should be! I remember the gate! It looks like this!

Anne: Eh Grace, go outside and ask the guys if they are here for the party.

So i got out of the cab...

ME: Excuse me, are you all here for alicia's party?

Guys: HUH?!

ME: (raising my voice because i thought they couldn't hear me as they were quite a distance away) Alicia's party! Is it here?!

Guys: Errr....HUH?! (and some of them were laughing at me!!! >_<)

I realised they were just going to "huh" me all the time so i believe i was wrong and very embarrassingly got back into the cab! ARGH~ SO EMBARASSING OKAY!

And they (Cy&Anne and maybe even the uncle) all had a good laugh in the cab! Anne said they probably thought i was trying to pick them up. TSK. Like...Hahaha anyway i told the Uncle..

Me: Eh Uncle, this is Saraca ROAD. We are supposed to go to HILL

TaxiUncle: Same! Same! It should be the same!

But as you can see, it's obviously wrong, right?! Hahaha, BUT he was nice enough to drive around the area and find the correct place even though we have already paid! And finally we spotted Saraca HILL!!!! And yesss, the place was the correct one! The gates were wide open...there were balloons...there were lights...and there were people!

Hahahaha, so after this embarrassing situation, we thought it would be the end but nooope. It didn't just end there.

Incident 2:

Anne ran up to a girl in a black dress and waved frantically! We thought it was her friend so we didn't really care but that girl just stared back at Anne. She didn't even bother to return Anne's wave and enthusiasm. So did the rest of the people at the table! HAHAHA! Turns out Anne thought that girl was Alicia!!! ROFL.

Incident 3:

We called for a cab because there was no way we could get out of there without a car as it was a 15minutes walk out to the main road! And immediately after Anne hung up the phone with the taxi company, she forgot the number plate of the cab that they gave her!

But we thought, it's alright! So long as a cab comes it should be ours! Because there were all different types of alcoholic drinks at the party and the rest of them were bound to stay till late into the night. If not for Anne's crabs, we probably might have stayed later. HAHA. Okay i'm going out of point.

We saw a cab stop outside the house and hurriedly said our goodbyes to everyone and hopped into the cab. About 5 minutes in to our journey, Anne received a phonecall and the taxi that we called for was waiting outside the house!!! HAHAHA! So she informed the poor taxi driver that we thought that this was our cab and just hopped in.

But it was a blessing in disguise! For whatever reason this cab driver went there, it was not for a booking. So we didn't have to pay any booking charges!!! Thank God!

-お腹がいっぱい！-

太っている！！！どうするかなぁ。。。体重を減らしたい！もうすぐぶたになりますよ！なりましたかもしれない。。。＠＿＠　



Woke up early today to prepare to go out after a late night. Which is bad because my eyes were swollen. Recently i think i'm starting to look like a panda @_@ even my sister and mum have commented on my puffy eyes, dark eye rings and eye bags. しまった！！While pandas look cute with their dark eye rings, we humans, definitely do not!


Yeap! Woke up bright and early and yet was still 5 minutes late because i must have missed the previous bus since i waited over 15minutes for the bus. I still thought i could be early and brought so much stuff to help me pass time. Haha!


Went to have brunch with gm and cindy at Crystal Jade. Gm's treat! The food was pretty good but terribly pricey. Cindy and i were seriously bursting and i took ages to finish the mango pudding which tasted really good! It had real mango and pomelo bits in it which really added to the tanginess of the pudding. I highly recommend it. It costs $5! It is very much unlike the normal mango pudding we get outside which is just mango flavouring.


Cindy's recently back from the island of kangaroos and koalas for semester break so i finally got to meet her again after lunch that time at Mr White Lee's! Didn't get to talk to her much that day because i was seated across the table from her. So today was better! :) Sometimes i feel it's such a pity that there seemed to be a growing gap between us. We had so much to say to each other in the past and enjoyed shopping together! I remember during secondary school days, she used to shout out and wave to me from the other block because our classes are in opposite blocks but were facing each other. Was it Delta and Futura block?! Oh dear! Hahah! I must be growing old! I can't remember things that happened a few years ago!


I really miss those times when we gossiped, laughed, played and shopped together so often! But growing up comes with many nagging truths and untruths that may hurt relations. She's ever so often thousands of miles away busy with her own work and so am i living my life here.


God has already started to work His magic! We're already starting to feel that the clock is turning back slowly today. No doubt both of us have changed alot and hardly see each other but this will definitely withstand time. Yup! Have faith! She even knew what clothes i would like and brought them in to the fitting room for me! HEH!


Generous gm bought us clothes! I got a top and cindy got her little black dress but nope! The clothes we are wearing in the pictures are our own! Heh! Not bought today! BUT I'm soooo going back to get the pair of shorts! I felt bad making gm pay so much so i decided not to get it today! :)

YAY! Thursday we meet once more!

This skinny girl is at least 5kg lighter than me -__- Her BMI's 17!!!! Faints.

-Gab's pre-21st celebration!-

YAY~ Yesterday we had a surprise pre-21st birthday celebration for Gabriel! Knew Gab almost exactly a year ago and over the months we knew each other better and got closer! Hahah! I hardly spoke to him during camp and only knew him as "1 out of the 2 medicine students in camp".

I think the true starting point of this glorious friendship is when Gab, Myr and I reported at the wrong place for the Simpsons movie!! Hahaha do you all remember that?! We dashed from place to place and missed the first part of the movie in the end. Well, after that day this friendship blossomed!

Hahah yesterday he had the impression that Myr and him were going to have bible study together while i was waiting at the steamboat restaurant (which i really don't recommend and will not step in there a 2nd time) in a terribly claustrophobic booth.

When they FINALLLY arrived, Gab didn't look all too surprise to see me at all! WAHAHAHA! So dinner starts!

Hora! Gab and Myr! Super cute Sandra and i. Oh my goodness gracious me. My head looks so big compared to hers! >-<

But check out the steamboat! Sandra is a terribly small eater. She was whacked out halfway through while the rest of us were still going strong. HAHAHA! She just stirred and stirred the soups but didn't take anything. No wonder she remains so slim and pretty!

HAHA! At least my head doesn't look so big now!
Whoo~ The cake i got for Gab! HAHA! The way we had to find means and ways to make Gab leave so that we could light the candle was hilarious! Myr and i pretended to fill up our cups while we actually went to borrow a lighter. But Myr saw the crabs that were just brought out! Then she said "How Grace?! How?!" I had no choice but to say "Yea la take la take la!" So yeap! While waiting for her to grab her precious crabs, i had to find someone with a lighter! Ended up borrowing from a waiter who smokes.

But the problem came when we had to light the candle! Gabriel was still seated at the table! So here was our little conversation went after i asked Gab to help me get some wet tissues.

Sandra: Eh i go toilet first k. (and she left to stall Gabriel's time)

Me: Ok! Quick light the candle! Quick light! Must melt the candle to stick it on the stand!

Myr: I don't know how to use the lighter!

Me: I also don't know!

Myr: How?! HOW?! Aiya never mind la, just stuff the candle into the cake! (she just stuffed the whole candle in the cake! ROFL)

And suddenly Gab came back! And said that we had to PAY for the wet tissues -__- So we were frantically thinking of ideas to make him go away like asking him to take tissues (which he later came back with TOILET ROLL.), and Sandra's excuse was the classic one! "Gabriel! Help me take more wanton! I want more wanton!!" WAHAHAHAHA! And there were sooo many wantons on the table that we couldn't finish! ^-^

So after Gab left once again, Sandra the heroine lighted the candle!!! WHEEE! Hahah sang a super soft and quiet birthday song. The first time i've ever done that! HAHA!

Gab making his birthday wish and trying to protect the flame at the same time!

And he draws in a large breath to blow a single candle.

Heehee! Myr checking out Gab's cake while feasting on her crabs.
She couldn't take it! She just had to eat Gab's cake! And oosh! She ate it! WAHAHAH!
After our dinner, on Myr's persistence and insistence, we went for our dessert! DURIANS! See them choosing the durians?! Sandra has been totally blocked by the durian seller!

Check out Myr's excited and ecstatic look! HEH! I think Twinnie's going to kill me after this entry.

Gab's 1st time in opening a durian for us girls!

YAY! *smacks lips*

Haha! Sandra's happy smile! Gab trying to find his "perfect angle"

Hope all of you enjoyed yourselves last night! Especially you Gabriel! Hahaha! A memorable celebration yea?! Your first time eating at a roadside durian stall! Wheehee! =D

-Extravaganza!-

Today has been a relatively tiring day. Woke up early after a late night but had a stomach upset and was feeling queasy! Think i ate too much oily food the previous night and didn't drink enough water >_<

Despite the scorching heat, i had fun today! I hope you did too! Loads of thanks to those who turned up to help and those comm members who helped to find more people. Thank you all sooo much!

In almost every event that i do, i get a new shirt but this is by far the BEST!! Hahah but the flash made this picture of the shirt look -__-

YAY! Yesss we have time to cam whore as well! Much to the amusement AND annoyance of the other counter personnel. Heehee :D

The 3 Ms!!!!

ML! MX! MG!

Hahaha i just felt that we looked like we were in a nursery in the picture below! The guy behind us looks like he's slacking too!
I was supposed to be clawing the camera but it somehow cut of my hand and left my 2 fat fingers there. ROFL! Check out the other Ms' faces!

-Photos Galore!!!-

Photos photos photos galore~~~~

Hahahah! Met Myrna on the bus after a hilarious conversation over the phone! We were actually on the same bus! While walking to Ml's house, we decided to stop for a shot!

Myr and i were commenting that cck seemed rather dim-lit and had a dark and eerie atmosphere. Hahaha! Look at what the picture turned out to be when we tried to take Fen at the end of the corridor! Note the time was just 5 minutes after the above picture was taken! Only a few lights were turned on at the lift lobby..the lift was dim...the house was dim at some places too! Heh!

Wheee~ The early birds get to take crazy shots before the others arrive!! Rahahaha!

I absolutely love this shot! It's so random and silly and it doesn't look like twinnie at all!!! ROFL!

Ml's big, big 21st chocolate cum fruit cake! The words say "Happy 21st Birthday to May Ling. From Dad, Mum & Mei Mei"

Her family!! Her mum cooked all the delicious food that Sm who usually doesn't eat alot said "I'm very full but i just don't feel like stopping!" We had endless rounds! The spring rolls were my favourite. Twinnie's one was the kueh lapis!! HAHAHAH!

Whee~ The classic 8. Pretty pretty 8 :) Cck is dim yea?! Chuckles.Nazia, Jac, and...ooopss.. i just realised Kayal's not in the pic! The official cake cutter at all our birthday parties = YY!

People were giving out cakes and this was what we were doing!

Jaclyn commented on my high cheekbones -__- I hate them. Sorry Jaclyn but i really don't like them!

My favourite shot of the day!! My whole body was shaking so badly due to 4 reasons.

1) Myr was sitting on my legs

2) I was sitting on zx's THIN legs

3) I was laughing so hard

4) I was scared i would fall

The more sane picture we have!

Supposedly a 'family portrait' kind of picture and the fan had to blow just when the camera clicked!

Change of father. ROFL. All the dashing from the camera and to rejoin the group and back to the camera and rejoining the group has started to exhaust the dehydrated me. Haha!

Whatever rubbish we were doing....>_<

I look so flustered and my hair's in a great mess!! Like i just woke up! Mi-Re-Do!




When we gave Ml the card! My gosh! The card is L-O-V-E-L-Y!!! Shall provide some more detailed shots later :)
