2 Fridays ago, the gang went Farmart at CCK.
Missing in action were Ernest and Jonathan.
Here's the ball of time that you guys missed!
The pics are not in order so please bear with me...
We went to a cosy little place called AustWine and they serve really good pigs and I mean pork knuckle. Cheap wine + good food + superb company = Happy Caryn
These shots were before we gave Lixia a surprise!
The foodies with the people:)
The Birthday Girl!!
In the wine cellar with Idy and Lixia
Who say I can't have them all??
Together with us...
Erm...red wine is good for high blood pressure and flushing one's blood to the surface of ur face. This is not the worse to be seen.
Look this...I dunno where this cooked lobster came from!
Some random random shots
Nonetheless, Happy Birthday Babe waaaaaaaaaaay in advance! Love you heap heaps!!!
This will be the last outing before exams..
Sigh...I have not even started on any revision and I catch no balls in class!
I was relating my story to a friend of mine and suddenly got kinda weepy. It's a story of my grandmother. A lady I respect so much for. Here it goes: "When I was young, I used to stay with my Ah Mah and my 2 cousins. 4 of us will squeeze in that queen size bed that Ah Gong left behind more than 20 years ago.
They were poor then but Ah Gong strike 4D and made a bed frame and cupboard for Ah Mah. Sweet right??
Surprisingly, both the furniture survived till the day Ah Mah passed away, on her bed of love. We did not send her to the hospital because our doctor said it would be better if she pass away peacefully at home with love ones around her.
I wasn't by her side when she left. I regretted. I should have just flown home to be with her during her last journey but Daddy didn't want me to be affected.
He even told me that if she pass away, he wont inform me but my sis din know and called me up. When she cried so badly, i tot she was raped or smth..it was a cry never heard before.
At least I saw her before I flew off but I guess even though she was rather unconcious, my presence was felt.
I miss the days I would go to the market with her, the time she would cook my favourite dish when I come. Even to the extent of giving me money to buy things I like and my aunt would nag at her that why she always spend money so fast.
She was a generous lady too..I did not want to take but you know how pushy they get sometimes. I was only in pri sch then and the sum of money is huge. I did swear then that I will give her money when I grow up and working but it's smth that will never come true.
I miss the times she would laugh at my cousins, sis and me when we have a farting competition. I really mean fart ok. Like who can fart the longest and loudest. Sometimes we also play burping. Sounds weird and disgusting eh but it brought peals of laughter to her and us. My sis always win hands down! Then there were times we will squeal at the lizards crossing the box junction (the dining area and living room) as what we always say. She will calmly say they help to eat the insects so we won't get bitten.
She who taught me hokkien and proud to let neighbours pinch my chubby cheeks. She will also pat my cousin and I to slp before she continues her cooking.
It's those words of wisdom and wrinkled smiley face that will deeply be missed. " It's just smth I wanna look back in this blog years down the road. Good night world.
Never and I really mean NEVER talk to me when I'm asleep. Either I sleep talk to you or I'll remember the wrong things. I know mummy told me tonnes of things before she left for work this morning. I remembered she told me to cook for them and use whatever tt's in the fridge. I even thought I heard her say I can use the chicken in the fridge. Then buy 4D ar, pay bills la, mop floor and blah blah... I did cook for the kiddos and bought 4D. I haven't got the time to mop the floor cus I've still got the presentation slide to do. But I realise i forgot to bring the bill when I'm downstairs. Thanks to my very good memory la. And I did use the chicken as she expected or so I thought. I nvr chopped up the chicken as a whole before cus I always use the thigh part or chicken leg. I felt really disgusted by the chicken head. I spent like quite looooooong chopping it up. I used one big knife, one chopper and 2 scissors during the process of disection. But I remembered my mum using only one pair of scissors. And hor, it's was pretty much disfigured. Poor chicken. I cook finish, ate finish then mummy called. I complaint to her how crazy I was in the kitchen. The chicken ma chiam like made of steel cus need 2 knifes and 2 scissors and the strong me then can get it chopped. "Who ask you to cook chicken??" she answered stunningly. "I tot you told me this morning that I can cook the chicken for them?",I replied blurly. Actually, she merely tell me that I can toast the Tay's Supreme Chicken and I heard wrongly. How did it become that I can cook the chicken??? Still, I stupidly chop it up without calling and ask. My sister laughed at me. For the dunno-how-many-times-in-my-life, I felt stupid once again. SO, NEVER TALK TO ME WHEN I'M ASLEEP!!!!
Last Friday was a blast. Had wonderful time doing prototype with my group followed by mahjong session that lasted more than what we did for the prototype. Lost 2 bucks but I'm very happy cus I din lose all the way like the last time lor. Presenting to you the lovely group of people I'm working with.
Eugenia and Audrey(Anli)..hehehe...
I din even knew you had english name Anli
Me and Jimmy the cheerleader
Leslie the dragonboater with that cup of fat rich ice cream. He claimes he wasn't slacking but he got credits for his Art & Craft la...
Somehow, our column transformed into an asthma inhaler...a huge one indeed!
And our princess, the fat ham ham:)
We had the whole afternoon of craziness man. I literally laughed throughout. Sorry guys...I couldnt control at all. It just comes and nvr ends. Hahahaha...
I was asking if ham ham was shivering cus its scared of me. Jimmy say its the heartbeat and it's life will shorten the more we play with it.
THEN THIS LESLIE HOR....
"Go put in an oven and anneal it la..then will have longer life", he rattled.
WA LAO!!!! We all laugh until peng man...Too much of 3001 or should we say we learnt well? haha...
Then we all just randomly talked abt fatigue and quenching the ham ham to martensite. It was crazy. I couldn't keep sane.
That night was very very fun toooooooooo. Will update on the night part when I get all the peektures:)
Met Peiling and Alicia after like so loooooooooooooong.
Had dinner at Ichiban Boshi and the manager on duty was like so welcoming. He greeted us and asked how was our day. "It was great!", I replied curtly. It wasnt a good day to start with actually. It was just a day of sulkiness, unhappiness, stress and not to say lethary.
I'm glad last week passed but I think the following weeks to come will be worse.
Exams are just a mth away and I've yet to start. And not to sy 2 undone assignment, a presentation to go and finalising report. Oh ya...one test on 5th Nov.
I'm soooooooooooooooooo dead! The evening of some relaxation...
I miss those days when we go JP almost every Monday. The never ending food stockup yet nvr eat and poor Jonathan have to finish for us. Though I think he enjoyed it since I will buy food of some quality..hehehe...
The sleepin prince caught in action!!!
Taken my our trusty cameraman!
Sorry Boon...some things just have to be shared...hahahhaa!
I shall go take my nap now...undeserved I know but I'm tired:(
I was just having a short conversation with Banana 2 days back. It was an emotional one for her cus one of her colleague passed away in a car accident. She was 20+ only. It made me think that we're 21 alrdy so who knows what will happen tmr. Even pedestrian also have the tendency to meet an accident. Like what Banana said, we have to cherish our loved ones ard us before it's too late. I dunno how our conversation could take flight and end up like this: (I closed the conversation so I lost the exact things we said, but I will recreate one that's almost the same) Banana: Should I die before you did, please ask all my friends to wear green to my funeral. Me: okie Me: But I wont let you die before me. Me: And should I die before you, please ask all my friends to wear red. Banana: Ur mum will scold you. (I die liao my mum cannot do anything) Maybe sometimes just casual talk like this do prepare you in some ways you see. I dunno and dun wish to think how far life could bring me to. But I do know I love everyone ard me. Just be happy everyday lor.
I'M HOME!!! It's the second time this week and another one to come on Friday or maybe I'll just stay in hall. Thanks to the boohoo on interview that made me shuttle between home and hall. Anyways, it's the first time I came home with only my lappie and pencil case(for I dunno what reason). NO BOOKS!!!! I just need to free myself from the notes for a day please. I've yet to photocopy my result slips so I hope everything's smooth tmr:) I slept for 3 hours+ nonstop lest for Bernice's opening the door and then I just fell back into deep sleep again. I dreamt a lot over these couple of days and they are very clear. It was some DnD kinda thing with Lixia, Boon, Jon and I dunno who. A lot of ppl but I only know this 3 peeps are with me. AND AND AND there're some really cool ang mo dudes and bosses from listed companies. Just a very grand thing. Then everything went well until the scene evolved to a gathering of us with some Ah Bengs. We happen to be very good friends. Then somehow, we talked about high blood pressure until I got very pek chek and angry over I dunno what issues. Then I scolded Lixia, Boon and Jon. I ignored them totally till we reach the bus stop then I was looking for a bus that would take me to Bedok. I think I was running in my dream cus I woke up in sweat (actually it's the weather la). I woke up feeling guilty for scolding them. Bah~~~ It's just a crazy stupid dream. Another one was with my bro. He told me he wanna eat sushi so I said Kwang Yong recommended me this sushi restaurant in Far East Plaza (I dunno if it really exist cus I dun rem KY telling me tt). I brought him there to search and just nice my alarm rang for me to wake up. You know what I told him in my dreams? "I need to go for class now, tonight then i bring you here again ok?", I muttered to him. I think it's lame. I can control my dreams pretty well eh? Hahaha...But I nvr dream abt it this afternoon.
Recess week just flash by like that! Actually, having so much things to do on hand, I really can't remember what I have accomplished! At least I did some work, bum here and there, stayed home for a couple of days. But it just feels sucky! You will only realise that time flies when ur period comes and you tot it just ended a week ago. But a good full mth passed! Oh my...I'm moodless as of now. Studying for quiz isn't progressing tt well either. I'm just tired. I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeep... Then again, blame on my poor time management. Life isn't tt bad. I just need to get past this phase. Self denial is good at times. My memory is really failing! I told Pa tt day and he said,"Now got medicine for memory one leh...you can go buy and eat." Then my parents started to say abt how kids these day have medicine for every shitty things. Maybe I do need some. Any sponsors?? It'll be a horrible Monday ahead. I hope this week pass faster. I hope Ah Dong and Raman dun kill us with their paper. Let's welcome a brand new horrible week! Good night world.
