Singapore June 2009

While I still feel like it, I think better get it all down otherwise it will just disappear into the depths of my memory...it really helps that I'm still on semster break atm...

I'm super glad this time I managed to take close to 100 photos in a short span of 1 week...even though I retained all censorship rights, there are still a good chunk of shots that can be published...hehe...(*ahem* at this point, I'll like to say payments are accepted for the maintenance of personal privacy and the perseverance of dignity)

Here were some of my favourite moments in chronological order...

Zouk/Vivi Nails - Pregnancy News. Unfortunately my reaction was wasted on Jason. I'm really happy for Jelly but this news makes me feel really ooooooooold...as I said before I left, it is going to be strange that the next time we meet she will be pushing a pram and carrying a diaper bag...haha..I may need a bit more time to adjust...still, I look forward to meeting her first-born and no doubt Jelly and Mark will be very excited to show off their little one too...

One hungry mummy...

Pump Room - Smashing place with my favourite gang. What's not to love? Zouk was shit but this place is awesome! It's here that we took the most photos...I had a great night and I am sure everyone else too...ok, except maybe Dana who spent the night and early next morning prostrating at the alter of the porcelain god...

annoyed that the boys spoilt our photos lah! see...real mature!

the poses got worse as more drinks were consumed....

and I swear you guys are a bad influence on Meredith (tsk!)...see the discrepancy?...

At this point, I think the only likely person to pay me to remove photos from here are my husband....

Soup Restaurant/Timbre - Somehow or rather, Mok tends to get us free meals at the Soup Restaurant...no complaints tho...Meredith and I both love the chicken and sweet potato leaves *beams*...we had so much food that day that I honestly was worried we won't be able to finish it all, considering Meredith was the only male at the table since Leon wasn't able to join us...Pity that was the only time I got to catch up with Jun...it was unfortunate she couldn't join us at Timbre that same night, whereby we finally convinced Mok to grab some drinks with us...I believe this was like the first time in more than 4 years (?) since we met Mok for drinks and stayed way past our bedtime...

THIS photo must be framed man...since when have we managed to get Mok out so late at night???

Other noteworthy mentions are my fish-spa experiences..(I was at Kenko twice in 4 days!)..if you want Shiok-Shiok experiences the best person to talk to is really Dana...and our night of KTV...and SPEAKING about KTV...i've got the video as promised...



Look at Jason pretending he doesn't care..somemore pretend clever huh..read to Galvin..I threw the potato chip at him in the end..and he promptly ate it!...anti-climax seriously...Wahahaha...Jason, you better pay me good moola to take down the video....heheheheheh

I apologise for all the mad cramming of activities night after night...I will take into account our ages next time I'm planning to come home for clubbing/chilling/drinking etc...Till Next Time!

The Long Overdue Post (Sorry Dana!)

My excuse: Busy studying last semester lah!

Anyhows, I got to say, I am still very touched by the fact that Dana made up her mind pretty quickly when I asked if she would come spend Easter with me. I honestly was just talking cock and you know me, I can be really whingy - I moaned that I virtually get no vistors and I miss everyone...less than a week later, our dear friend got herself booked onto a flight. (PS: I need more friends who can make up their mind like that)

It may not seem like a big deal to some, but this was the first time Dana had to travel on her own. It was a very harrowing experience for her indeed with taxi booking miscomms, gusty winds and rain, a lugguage with a noisy wheel and (!) the failure to obtain an Australian visa. We are lucky to have had Jelly save the day...otherwise, I think Dana would have been scarred for life and will never talk to me again for convincing her to come visit me. Ha!

I'm just glad she got here in one piece, noisy luggage and all. :)

Lovely day at King's Park

Everybody knows my activities pretty much revolve around food...that does explain how fat I am these days. The following is a snapshot of our lunch at Elmars'...don't worry, everything was shared amongst the 3 of us...

Pork Knuckle and my favourite Sauerkraut

Yummy tasting plate with various sausages, hams, cheese and dips

The photos don't do the food justice man...this swan valley restaurant is totally recommended (by me of course)...best to go with at least 4 other friends....

The other foodie thing we did was to cook mee siam one night. The lucky girl even scored a double-yolked egg!

please ignore the mess behind Dana...I'm not a very good housekeeper...hahaha....I believe we stayed in another night coz she wanted to try the instant mee-sua she found at a Perth Chinese grocery store...funny girl bought a shit-load of the instant mee-sua back to Singapore only to discover the local Shop n Save has them as well...

I was a little sad that her trip lasted only 4 days. But at least during that period she exprienced her first fishing trip, even though the massive pelican got fed while we went home with nothing. We also watched Keane play at Metro Freo...awesome gig...glad I got to hear my song live! Only regret was that we didn't stay till the end and there were no photos! Boy were they cute...

.......

Here's to great fun with a very dear friend and hope Meredith and I will have better guests sleeping arrangements when we finally get the house built!

Watch This Space....

got reminded (yet again) to update and post all those bloody photos...who ask me not to have facebook right?...ok lah, will do it soon...i still have photos from Dana's trip to post :)
