as a continuation to the previous post, after dinner we met up with my sis and edwin, and we went over to my new place for mahjong till 12+ then cut cake. (jem said he bought cake, so he went to collect after dinner)

i wanted to test my luck also.. they always say birthday luck very good one. hah. apparently not for me. i lost lor!!! what kind of luck is that! ok la, but at 12am i won la. skeptical about the entire birthday luck thingy. bah. bruff me one wor..

anyway, the cake was super super pretty!!!!!

super pretty right???? it was just as delicious, i tell you! yummilicious!!!!

got many many strawberries on the cake.. yummmmmm..!

just some photos we took.. quite cute ba.. hee!

the cake was super delicious... hehe.! then after that they threw the stupid cream on me. so i threw back. wahahahahahaha! my poor sister ended up having to help me clean the place.. haha sorry baobs! muacks!

***

i wrote that in april. i'm so sorry. today is 25th of august. anyway, i won't be blogging about my 21st anymore though there are many many more photos. please click here to see pics + details. *muacks*

Happy 21st!! (on 8th nite)

uhaven't gotten around to blogging about my 21st cos was busy.. busy celebrating, that is. wahaha.

am admiring my pressies now. anyway, have many many photos to put up.. some are not so clear cos it's taken using my new hp.. bought a N70 for myself a day before my birthday.. a 21st birthday gift to myself.. hahahahaa.

went to sun with moon @wheelock on the 8th night.. jem called to reserve seats at 3pm therefore we had a very cozy booth.. (others can only sit at the common area and watch with envy.! muahhaha!) =]

the entire restaurant has soft lightings.. there were booths as well as tables (haha! we got a booth to ourselves!!) and around the booths were some transclusent curtain-thingys hanging around, giving a sort-of romantic atmosphere.. the fluffy cushions were a plus point, and i already liked the place before settling down. (our booth looks something like this.. but nicer.. this was the booth opposite ours. super nice rite???)

was hungry so got down to ordering their food.. a tad pricey, i would say. oh well. paying to sit in nice booth with cushions all. wad to do... bah.

wanted to order this appetizer.. 7 types of finger food on a satay stick.. but too expensive.. 17+++ man.. bo hua.

drinks were served first. i had guava tea, jem had peach tea. his peach tea was super pretty, with all the fruits in it!! mine had only some petals. =[ but both were pretty good.

another picture with his drink up close.. it actually looks prettier.. hehe! and it was yummilicious!! =]

then came the food.. jem ordered zaru soba which is cold noodles.. i've never fancied sobas. he seems to enjoy it though. i like how they present their food.. appeals to me.. don't you think the colour of the pickes are very nice? hehe! me likey.!! =]

so while watching him eat the soba with much relish, another dish came. his again. it's called salmon kamemeshi.. basically minipot rice with salmon and salmon roe.. they have this mini hourglass on top.. cute. =]

it looks like this when it came.. not very appealing rite.. but very amusing to see the hourglass on top of the minipot.. hehe! reminds me of saunas and big bathtubs in japan..

it looked so mysterious.. but it smelled really good.. looked as good when i opened for a teeny-weeny peek. hehe (actually looks much yummier.. but i think my photographic skills are limited. =[ sad.)

of course by now my food have to arrive. hungry ok. i ordered unagi don. ok yes yes, boring.. but i like!

looks good? it was really yummy! plump grains of rice and two fat pieces of unagi sitting on top of them.. ready to be eaten by me!

muahaha!

not too salty, but i kinda got full from it halfway through.

while i was eating, this very interesting dish was served. ebi and kaki gratin. prawns and oysters with citron-miso gratin. very huh? rite?

it's actually prawns and oysters (and potatoes as well) with broth, covered with cheese and made to bake for awhile. (my guess)

looks nice eh? it had salmon pieces in it too.. but a little salty. and the dish kept moving out of place whenever i was digging for the food. (yes, digging. it was stuck quite firmly to the bottom of the dish.)

the gratin was slightly too cheesy for me, so i ordered another item on the menu. ebiten roll. superb.! presentation is good, prawns were crispy, and the rice were not too sticky nor too sour, like how sushi from sushi bars tend to be very vinegar-ish and the rice always seem to be stuck on the prawn or cucumber or whatever. this was good.. six pieces only.. very little hor.. but i like.! me likey! =]

after all the food, i was bursting at the seams, but jem still wanted ice cream. i was thinking green tea.. but we never got to eating it in the end cos of mj. hahaha.! (actually after dinner still got jie mu, but pics i can't find yet, so next post then continue!)

while listening to a (quite) boring CD

i'm at the new place now, on my 'bed', which is in fact, merely a queen-sized mattress without the bed frame. listening to a quite boring cd by the infamous guo meimei 'wo ai ni, ai zhe ni, jiu xiang lao shu ai da mi..' -_-"

recently, weekends are usually spent at our new house. i'd like to call it our weekend retreat, but somehow the trouble gone through to reach our retreat seems to contradict the cheeriness and relax-iness associated with the words 'weekend retreat'. isn't it supposed to make you think of the nice palm trees, clear blue waters and sunny weather?

there are limited things to do at the new place. like all chalets (i like to think of it as our personal chalet), there is only one television set, no wireless connection and it's an inaccessible place. thank god my mum for the broadband.

i usually live through the weekend eating, swimming, or catching up on some reading. more often than not, though, there is a limit to how long one can do these things for.

therefore we bought a mahjong table, and weekends now are always full of mahjong, mahjong and more mahjong!! Yippee!!

if you guys would like to play mahjong during the weekends, come over and find me..!!!!

have to go now. time for another mahjong session.!

ok. that's it.

muahahahahaha.

H o t S t u f f x !

whoopie, i'm ba-ack!!

Hong Kong was fantabulous!

i'm sure huihui and baobs will agree with me.

although we did have to walk for a minimum of 12 hours per day.

(that's how we were over there; non-stop shopping.)

------------------------------------------------------------

we mainly went shopping around in HKG.

oh, and ocean park was fine, too.

although we still had to walk pretty much while over there.

bleah.

but i suppose we fit into our original plan of 'chi dong xi, mai dong xi, chi done xi, mai dong xi' or, eat and shop, eat and shop.

the food's always good.

we could never find something that was awful over there.

but stuffs over there are pretty expensive, if u ask me.

------------------------------------------------------------

oh, and one of my impressions of HKG is smoke, smoke and more smoke.

people there literally are chimneys.

they smoke everywhere.

and when i say everywhere, it's really everywhere.

even in air-conditioned restaurants.

it was almost unbearable.

=/

------------------------------------------------------------

we met our friends there, and my sis bumped into her school friend over there as well.

talk about a small world.

anyway, it was a pleasure meeting you guys; chen en, ruiguo and joel.

(i was quite tempted to type out joel's full name here.)

the six of us went clubbing at their local night scene, lan kwai fong.

it's wasn't all that great, after all.

but it was fun, nevertheless.

------------------------------------------------------------

we were there for 5 days, and 4 nights.

but somehow it wasn't enough.

i suppose like a holiday trips, i was a little reluctant to come back to singapore.

as huihui puts it, welcome back to boring singapore.

how apt.

------------------------------------------------------------

i have a feeling we'll go back to beautiful hong kong soon.

like their slogan; love it, live it!

------------------------------------------------------------

and last but not least.

to baobs and huihui.

*muacks muacks muacks!!*

Chinese New Year + Valentines' Day

in case any of you were wondering:

(too bad for u guys who want me dead. hah!)

cable modem died on me.
(starhub sucks!!!!!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Valentines' Day

-----------------------------------------------------------

anyway.
today is valentines' day.

Happy Valentines' Day to everyone!

Happy Birthday to Xuemin!!!
hope you had a wonderful valentines' day as well as 20th birthday!!
*muacks muacks*

-----------------------------------------------------------

valentines' day.
am in school right now at exactly 9:33pm.

what am i doing in school on valentines' day when should be out, you might ask.
ok. dun ask. not gonna tell.
having a secret rendezvous in school.
(yeah right!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

going out for supper later.
(dinner has turned into late-night supper for 2.)

was suppposed to go to some japanese restaurant for dinner.
didn't have time to go. (reservation was at 6pm)

anyway, when called to cancel the reservation, an auntie picked up the phone.
an extract fo the conversation:

me: hi, i would like to cancel my reservation.

auntie: why you not coming anymore?

me: (stunned for a moment that she would actually ask me such a question.) huh? err. no time.

auntie: orh.. ok lor. i cancel for you. next time when you free then come down lor!

me: huh? ok ok. bye bye.

haha. the auntie is funny. the whole conversation was in chinese btw.
(she's an auntie lor. waddya expect? british accent?)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Chinese New Year.

-----------------------------------------------------------

hmmm. Chinese New Year.
besides ba kwa, oranges and ang pows, this year i had something else to occupy my entire CNY as well.

no. it's not the iip project. (although it should have been)
it's.. Mahjong!
hehe!
=]

-----------------------------------------------------------

actually, this CNY is one of the worst CNY ever.
(ok, minus the cash collected from all my ang pows anyway. hah!)
did not do my hair. (i.e. colour, highlight + cut)

it's quite a big issue for me.
(ok, i admit. i'm vain. so shoot me. :P)
used to go to reds and sit there from 12pm-8/9pm just because of my hair.
miss those days.

other than hair, also had the prototype to finish.
before CNY was common test week.
had exactly 10 days to complete the prototype.
but during that 10 days it was CNY.
(well, had to go to my relatives' houses to bai nian, ok.)
talk about rush!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Anyway. enough said.
shall not harp on the fact that it's a bad CNY cos had to rush.
love CNYs.
=]
although they make me fatter.
hmpf.

-----------------------------------------------------------

love valentines' day as well.
cos it's so romantic.
(yes, am a sucker for love and romance.)

-----------------------------------------------------------

love my school and the wonderful work and deadlines as well.
ee..yucks.
(couldn't deceive myself in the end.)
sigh.

-----------------------------------------------------------

last but not least.
to Lindsey Li Ping Chia:

I LOVE YOU BABE!!!
*muacks muacks muacks*
(see? u receive one more kiss from me as compared to xuemin!!! that goes to show how much i love you! p.s. min: i noe u wun mind. u got ur binbin! hah!)

appreciated.
*muacks*
(see! one more!)

I n f l u e n c e s .

hmmmm.

who are the people in your life who affect you?
as in, influences your thinking, lifestyle and moods?
are there many such people in your life?

--------------

u might ask, what abt my life?
i don't know.
or maybe i do.
hmmmmmmm.

---------------

on thinking.

close friends have a certain influence on my thinking.
i think i do not have to name them.

they will know who they are.

*

my sister has an even greater amount of influence over my thinking.

i remember when i was young, she was like, my role-model.
i even wanted to think like her.
hah.
my ignorance.

no offense there, aight, baobs?
*muacks*

now, i ask her for opinions every now and then, or even try to ask very indirectly what she thinks over certain stuffs.

(ok, sidetrack abit.. i noe there's no such word as stuffS. but i like to use stuffS still. p.s. my sis is very irritated every time i say stuffS.
can hear her snorting at the word stuffS already.)

but sometimes when i do not want her opinion, she tends to give them to me as well.
hah!

i'll always accuse her of trying to impose her taste on me.
(ok lah, i admit. that's more for clothes and such.)

ok. shall not talk abt sister anymore.
this is not about her anyway.

:P

---------------

on lifestyle.

while i was typing this, i was wondering who really had an influence over my lifestyle.

then i realised.
it's my parents.

they influence my lifestyle everytime they decide to move from house to house.

ok, maybe i'm just taking every opportunity i have to shoot them for wanting to shift. again.
bleah.

but they do.
and by shifting house again and again and again, they do it again and again.

my usual routine will no longer be usual, and routines will no longer be routines.
it'll just be something that i'll miss.
badly.

*sniff*

*

ok.
anyway, friends and sis also influences my lifestyle.
or do they?

maybe i shall put it this way.
i have a friend who's practically nocturnal.
(ok lah, it's Cherlyn. =/ )

having a good friend who's nocturnal will turn me into somewhat a 'ye mao zi' (i.e. night cat).
hah!

i also have a friend who recently loves blogging.
(it's Lindsey. you guys should already noe that, right?)

because of her blogging habits, and her constant naggings on me to make blogging my habit;
my lifestyle has therefore included blogging and reading her blogs.

enuff said.
NEXT!

---------------

on moods.

moods.

hmmmm.

moods.

many, many, many people affect my mood.

*

my friends affect my mood.

when they're unhappy, i tend to feel sad too.

when they're bored, i will get sian.

when they're mad at me (how seldom is that!!), i feel upset.

*

my family affect my mood. (sis included here, ok?)

when they barge into my room during the early hours of the morning, i feel grumpy and irritated the entire day.
when someone bangs the drawers loudly when it's early, they're late for school and i'm still sleeping; i get angry and feel like shouting at that someone.

you know who you are!
hah!

(NB: why is it that i don't actually get up and scold them is because i'm often too tired, so i just make a noise and go back to sleep.)

when my parents scold me, i get very sad. =(
when they comment on my driving, i get mad.
ok, you get the idea.

*

wait.
there's another person who affects my mood.

my darling.

when we have a good time outside, or rather when i spend time with him; be it watching movies, cycling, going out, going shopping or watever;
i feel very happy.

when we talk over the phone for the longest time about nothing at all, i also feel very happy.
hah!

when i see him, definitely i feel happy.

when he feels stressed, i share his feelings.

when we quarrel, i feel sad. :(
i also feel angry.
at myself, mainly.

---------------

hmmmmm.

i guess that's about it.

these are the many people in my life.

who have an influence over me.

---------------

hmmmmmm.

ok.

hands up those who are still keeping up with my awfully long post!
cheerios to you guys!
*muacks*
yay! u're still alive!!

yes, this has indeed been an awfully long post.
don't remember ever blogging this much before.

but till now, i still don't understand the purpose of this blog entry.
maybe it's just something i wanna share with you guys.
=]

---------------

i guess that;

the people who are important to you and you hold dear in your heart are the people who affect you the most, and have the greatest influence in your life.

NB: notice i didn't mention people who weren't worth mentioning.

---------------

hah!
ok.
hope you've enjoyed reading this post.

nevermind if you have not.

i dun really care anyway.

off to study now.
i know, i know!! i should have done this earlier!!!

just too bored!

think am too bored.
3rd time blogging today.

am very pissed off by my parents.
adults are a weird bunch.

they wanna move house again.
for like the 7th time in my life.
i hate moving house.

they always say it's for their children's sake.
but in the end, it's always about themselves.
they want this, they want that..
selfish.
=[

refuse to move.
bleah.
