shout out

a big shout out to the girl who was there through it all. the first birthday, the first movie, the first starbucks coffee, the first chinese composition class, the first swimming lesson, the first crush, the first boyfriend, the first break up, the first fight, the first make up, the first christmas, the first new year, right down to my first mango top. LOL.

i love you babe, have a wonderful birthday. (:

may we get drunk on more caffeine, watch jason mraz live again and travel together in winter (:

feliz navidad

Wow it’s been a while. And since it’s an hour and a half past midnight, it’s christmas time! (: can’t believe the highly anticipated holiday was here, with all the fun and cheer and usually the anticipation is greater than the day itself.

but it was determined to enjoy it. and i did! whee! but here’s what happened the days leading up to this day!

This was last saturday’s dinner (with keith)..

a delightful cafe cartel at siglap, all empty and lovely.

monday was quite a day! left for school really early in the morning, went for volleyball. unfortunately we lost the match at quarter finals. ): then went for an entire day of scrabble and boggle before heading down to yio chu kang for og christmas dinner! seriously, tampines to boon lay to yio chu kang. sheesh. :X

quite enjoyed it because it was my first real christmas party without my family. ((: we had sushi and strange sakae sushi pizza and turkey and gift exchange, etc. (: and the first pic was really of us watching xiao niang re but that’s beside the point.. :X

tuesday, met dear sweet aileen for dinner at disney cafe at anchorpoint and to my absolute delight, they were showing high school musical 2! we practically stayed to watch the entire show. muahahha. i DO like that show! i know everyone hates vanessa hudgens and all but i have absolutely nothing against her. pfft. and aileen was fab company, listening patient to my never ending rattling on and on and on and on…. ((: fun night!

today bro and i decided to get our own christmas dinner so we went down to the supermarket and bought a couple of stuff and came back to prepare and this was our dinner. YUM.

followed by seige’s and my christmas eve tradition, on the 4th or 5th year now… the starbucks visit! we spent about 2 hours in starbucks alone. we lost our telepathy for a while but we’re still as silly as ever. love how the chemistry never goes away. (: if seige were a guy and unrelated to me, i’d be marrying her.

we came back watching whose line is it anyway, steve carrell and others on youtube before moving on to carolling. good times. (: hopefully the tradition lasts a long, long time! (taipei/seoul next winter babe!)

more to come…

happy holidays everybody (:

brunch and more

had a fantastic brunch today. (: keith decided we were gonna have brunch but refused to tell me where, then led me to jacob’s cafe at changi village (with some directions from random salesperson at guardian, no doubt :X) but it was a great surprise and i had a splendid meal. (: thank you!

i can’t wait to go home though i pretty much just came from there. i want lots of timeeee. lots of time to meet up, shop (oh that means lots of money too) and chill. on my own, with somebody, with lots of somebody.

alright, i’m slightly handicapped because i lost my roomie (like a left arm) to a cruise (titanic, she calls it) and before i start singing ‘my heart will go on’ i shall go enjoy some boggle and then tons of volleyball.

christmas is coming!

i can feel it in my fingers. and toes. *geek snort*

mental note: not too many lame jokes in a post, girl!

ps: sadly, i have a very small humour bone in me. i find few things funny and laugh at 95% of my own jokes. sighh.

somebody ask me to sentosa on a sunny day to play beach volleyball! ):

hall hall hall

yesterday was spent camping out at the indoor volleyball court. LOL. i watched our team play. unfortunately we lost though it was a great fight. our opponents were almighty, no kidding! then we had lunch, went back to watch another match. then there was four of us, we just started practising on our own. then watched another match. then practised on our own. then there was a guy’s match. then i left. LOL.

but i finally got to run around with the ball yesterday and i think i like the game again. (: fun heh! thank you, ankle!

then we came back, i watched em play scrabble for a while then went to the christmas party my hall hosted. food was good, games were alright. carolling was q silly though i was a part of it. :X we started yelling it out at train speed and we sounded like amateur kids choir.

and i felt extreeeeemely bad for making audrey come back to hall last night cos i had a really bad headache so i went to bed kinda early. IM SORRY AUDREY )))): but we had a good macs breakfast YUM.

when she leaves later, im gonna be alone in hall till saturday! sniff! hahahha. shall look forward to tomorrow’s four hours!

glory, glory, fifteen!

Here’s what happened today.

I went to watch our volleyball team play today and my goodness was it thoroughly exciting! We were down by 7 points (18, 11) initially but the fantastic players on our side started picking momentum as those on the other side lost momentum and we caught up with fantastic serves and we won a very close fight of 25-23. HELLO VICTORY!

damn right proud of the girls (: deserved every bit of the glory.

ace, ace, ace! (:

oh then i travelled back to the east. OH WAIT. let me let you in with a secret.

i got sucked in by the mango sale and bought two tops. hooray!

*runs*

commissioning

Congratulations, sir! :p

Interesting night I had. Wonderful parade, uniformity, lots of singing LOL. Cute. (:

Yayy. (: Proud of ya!

end it with a bang

it’s been a long great week. though it’s only thursday, it’s pretty much the end of the week for me and you’ll find out why.

last friday was my class gathering and it was amazing how the entire bunch of us can talk to anybody. (: and while a friend drank heineken and i drank green tea, it seemed i was more drunk than any of them, with the lame jokes i was spouting. love those bunch of people. kinda sad that we’re not gonna be together for next semester but i’m glad they kickstarted my university life cos they’re awesome to hang out with (:

(PS: yeah we have amazing girl to guy ratio LOL.)

keith and i caught bolt (3d) last saturday and it was freakin’ awesome! we had those dorky 3d glasses that made it feel like stuff were popping up and things were running towards us. freakin’ awesome. and the show was great! bolt and the hamster were incredibly cutezzzzzz. AND i love how the cat had all the stereotypes. SO PITIFUL. LOL. love love love the show. (:

went canvassing with nbs og friends on sunday which was pretty fun too, considering how extremely long it’s been since i hung out with them. a little awkward but alright. (:

on monday, thank god for the extra holiday, i got to spend more time with the boy (: finally! it’s been many many weekends where we went by seeing each other for maybe 2 hours. hahaha. fab fab day! and we tried this lovely place, souperlicious, and it was souperlicious!

okay now this is what i call minestrone. the one i made was majorly different. sniff.

then on tuesday i was back in hall for not much. but slept veryyy little so i ended up spending the day in town in starbucks falling asleep while reading a book. but it was fun soaking in the atmosphere. LOL.

and met ida and audrey for dinner! (: it was fun catching up!

gave her an overdue present, and here she is feigning surprise. HAHA

had a great time with the girls. ((: was just a little low on energy level sniff!

and yesterday, i had a bad start to volleyball training. i couldn’t serve for nuts and i hardly touched the ball for the entire first match. the second match i was slightly more warmed up and i served right twice and then i got so excited while running back to my position that i landed my foot on the side and twisted my ankle and the game stopped.

shucks.

love the game, love the people, hate the ankle. ):

hope i get well enough to go to the beloved’s commissioning parade on saturday and play the match on monday. roar.

okay running late for scrabble (LOL). gotta run. or limp. whatever. :X

friends

wow. within the past 48 hours, i’ve made friends with someone I clicked with so easily in two hours (like never before!), i’ve met up with my semester-long friends and we had a blast(!), and i’ve found my pri3-pri4 best friend on facebook and realised what a total stranger she is now.

what a world.

marble cheese brownie (or cake?)

Turned out to be more like cake but it was superb. And as yummy as it looks!

Today was a good good day. Spent a bomb but went home a happy girl despite the emptier wallet. MWAHAHA. Thanks for coming by, Aileen (: Starbucks was gooood! Well deserved treat for me, myself and I! MUAHAHHAA.

PS: It’s so tough buying gifts for others that I WANT. Pffft.

baker, not a cook

And the verdict is out.

Minestrone soup with macaroni

Not good. ):

goooood.

Maybe I should stick to baking. Sniff. But it’s okay, it was my first shot at it, must not give up!!

Wish I could have the whole holiday to myself, just baking and feeding them to guinea pigs. Too many events, too much time needed. ):
