ah, after the long cny break, im really still in the festive mood and definitely not ready to work or do anything serious. this year's cny is superb without worrying abt common tests and homework. it's an ultimate enjoyment! feeling soooo thankful for this rare holiday after the 18 yrs of restricted amount of cny fun. 4 days of cny holiday just isnt enough! busy having fun everyday and each day was packed with activities (:


well, as usual. my favourite photo comes first (:
this is just one of my fav photos, the rest all mostly taken at the sentosa flowers fair.

here's a photo of the kids, not a full attendance one though. haha.
from top to bottom, left to right: kimseng, sis, yanying, huixuan, me, yanzhen.
and at the bottom are 3 of our nephews. yes, nephews. though you can only see 2 of them, there are actually 3 there. they're brothers - bryan, jeryl and marcus.
this photo is taken on chu yi, the first day (:

the girl in red below is our niece! so cute! her name is caley. not quite sure how to spell it, but it's pronnounce as kay-li.

and of course we have loads of food and steamboat sessions. da-dang! the photos of 3 seperate steamboat sessions at 2 different houses. fat fat fat.

here's a photo of me with my fav cousins, and all of them happened to be younger than me. ah, looks like im children idol. muhahahas.



im just kidding, haha. it's actually our common interest that has brought us so close, i supposed. and thats no other than gambling. dont worry, we're not addicts. we gather to gamble only once a year. hahas...


hah, look at the photo of the 5 of us 12 years ago. it was taken during CNY back in 1996, which is the year of the rat as well.



and look at our attempt to imitate our childish poses. haha, it isnt hard to notice how much we've matured. we've agreed to take another photo 12 years later (:

it makes me feel so fortunate to have a bunch of cousins who are fun and comfortable to be with.
hah, sadly, that only occurs on our paternal side. maybe there's something to do with the blood, they always say paternal cousins are genetically more identical. ive no idea though. if it goes according to the mendalian genetics, it doesnt seems to make sense. ah, whatever, i dont like bio and i cant spell mendalian. shit.

xxxx

then on chu san, the 3rd day. yy and ks joined us (me,sis,mum) for the flower fair thing at sentosa. the crowd was horribly and unexpectedly huge, making it less fanastic. in fact, all of us find this year's flower fair lousy. look at the crowd below, we have to queue to go up there for the flowers.

and below are the pretty pretty photos. love them...

doesnt this look like a personalised new year card? hahaha

alright, and on chu 2, the second day, the cousins went for a night movie - kungfu guan lan.
to me, it's niceeeee! but then... the rest of them find it alright only.
after that, ks and yy came over to our place to stayover. we continued our mahjong, dai dee and bridge session. muhahahas. loads of fun cause i won money. fair enough, i used the money to sponsor for ks and yy's sentosa entry fees :D

okay, ive used up so much time loading photos because the photos taken using the digi cam is really very big and take up alot of space. it's time to go to bed cause ive to work tomorrow.
dead beat now, after loithering around my estate because i forgot to bring my key out! sneaked into my dagu's condo and sat by the swimming pool for an hour then walked to westmall to have dinner alone. well, let's hope for a better tomorrow (:



on a brighter note, it seems like results arent coming out this friday and im able to enjoy and d&d. hopefully i'll be able to take nice photos on that day! let's look forward (:



goodnight!

last week's photos! finally uploaded them. haha, told you im lazy. very very lazy.
okay, it was a saturday evening when we officially celebrated ida's bday (a belated one). it's actually a very simple dinner and it happened to be without the guys in our group.
2 of them are in army (sadly) and one busy with exams or projects. haha.
but well, celebration still goes on without the guys and we actually planned to do some shopping together before sitting down to enjoy a good meal. however, it turned out to be cheryl and i busy shopping while ida and carmen just followed behind. felt kinda bad, they dont seems to enjoy shopping. oops. should come up with a better activity next time. something that each of us likes. heh, eg, Eating. muhaha.

after the shopping session, we settled down at the restaurant famous for its zi char and fish head meehoon. ordered zi char with 5 or 6 dishes, i cant really remember. haha, lets see. we had wheat prawns (not sure with the actual name, haha), kai lan, tie ban tou fu, sweet and sour pork, hei zou. i think thats enough to shock the waitress aunties. esp when we asked for an extra bowl of rice, i can see their eyes ah... dropping. 4 girls eating so much, and also at a very fast speed too... haha.

thats not all, we went for deserts at crystal jade! muhaha, realised not all the deserts there are nice. but my first try for mango dont know what with sago and pomelo turns out well. haha, and i also like cheryl's mango pudding with ice cream. hmm, the other 2.. not that nice leh. haha...

in all, i guess we had loads of fun that day (even without the guys)! ops, haha. but still, it would be good to have them around. hopefully they're able to join us for the next gathering.
maybe for jason's bday or cheryl's bday? we shall see...

elaboration on the photos below: it's the grandma's smile shoot! hah, my invention! nice one.

carmen's imitation looks benevolent, cheryl's one looks like a funny and siao ah ma, ida's looks like contented ah ma. haha, i think mine looks like a lecher ah ma! omg.

hah, the day ends with a random photo of the three of them. hmm, i tried to come up with a theme for their photo, but then.... it's really hard. 3 ultra no link poses.

alrightsssss, that's all for last week. this week we'll all be busy with preparation for chinese new year? and the week after we maybe meeting up! and this time... we have decided to go for steamboat celebration! muhahas, food food and food again. let's look forward (:

some overdue photos. haha. taken during cy's bday celebration and christmas party at tj's place.

im really slow in loading photos and ive to admit, im lazy.

been thinking quite alot these few days to the extent that im having nightmares which are supposed to be a good dream. sounds confusing, let me explain. haha.

it's like this...

im always awared that my dreams (those that occur when im sleeping, not daydream, not ambition) are always the opposite from reality. im very very awared of that esp after the dream i had before receving my Os results. i dreamt that my grades are so bad that i cant even qualify for poly and have to retake as a private. omg.

so, last night, i dreamt that i dreamt that i was in the sch hall, waiting for my results. well, ive got ABB for my 3 H2 subjects. an A for my GP (how impossible) and a B for my econs. and because i know it's only a dream, it's not real, i started yelling, really yelling on the bed (i didnt realise it's a nightmare of a dream until i actually heard my own yelling). im fustrated, just because i know it's not possible for me to get ABB anymore since that has already appeared in my dream.

i think im really feeling the tension. it must be because my sis is getting her O's results tomorrow.

heh, all the best to her. my prediction is 14points, raw score.

apart from that, i think of alot other things. somehow, they're all sad stuff.

im seeking for motivation, to make wake up each morning, feeling that it's a new and fresh day. not another ordinary and routine day. it's hard, esp when everyone is handling with their own working life. shit, i really dont want to feel this way. i guess i seldom appear gloomy back in jj. always crapping in hokkien with reena, running around the LT after lectures to look for cheryl and carmen, talking rubbish with melvin, cheryl and carmen after sch, ponning lectures, gossiping, and so many so many other stuff. seriously, im missing this kind of life already.

it's so contradicting, i wish i could be younger but at the same time i wish im older, maybe in my twenties. somehow, i feel stucked and restricted at this age.

told you im thinking, thinking too much. sigh.

Life hasnt been as good as i thought.
i always think so that life after the big As are going to be very very much more fun than the mugging and schooling period. midnight movies, late night shopping, long hours of tv, going to bed in the morning, waking up in the late noon, meeting up with all my friends and talking long hours on the phone. Sadly, my life is farrrr farrr from expected.
what, im waking up 7am going to bed before 1am everyday. spent at most 3 hours on tv, 1 hour for dinner and shower, and perhaps 2 hours online.
many many tasks that i once wished to complete after As and before christmas. apparently, none are successfully carried out. room revamp? regular blogging? arranging my photo album? take more photos? i really dont think ive done any of the above.

maybe. this can be abit consoling.

a simple photo frame ive made and it's placed on my shelf (:



time for a little update before i lose track of my boring life.
okay, met up with willy on last saturday to pass him a shirt before he left sg for training in NZ.
the quite artistic photo is taken using his phone. really quite nice, isnt it?

then, on the same day, ive also met cheryl for shopping and melvin joined as later on for dinner.
we had longgg chat, talking about As, our results, our fear and our sec school days.
surprisingly, we've got soooo much to talk about and it doesnt feel weird at all!
it's surprising because melvin is like a complete stranger to us in bbss and we suddenly got close in jj. haha, sometimes things just turn out in a funny way. what else, we spent a few hours online together, sharing and watching jap and american funny videos on youtube. they're mostly cheryl's intro but i remembered the one which melvin introduced very clearly as well. a video on 2 girls eating shit. yes, shit, sai, really sai. damn gross.

hmm, i guess that's the latest interesting event for me.
working life makes me feel like im no longer a student and ive lost the momentum of studying.
please, dont ever let me have to retake As. i dont think i can go thru everything again, but alone.

My job is rather routine, not much of interesting stuff to do. however, the people there are interesting. especially, peter and paul. hahaha (:

let me get the desired results and enter uni happily. please please.
