FINALLY. walked till legs ached in town with yiqiao. plenty of fun, and we just gabbled non-stop. and we are indeed food-lovers. pepper lunch, village, delifrance. wooooo. i've missed you girl! we MUST meet up more often k, no question. everyone seems to be in takashimaya for only one sole reason, to fill up those christmas socks and to pile up the gift boxes beneath the tree. the crowd was SWARMING at the departmental store, and we were totally discouraged from buying anything when we glimpsed the seemingly never-ending queue at the cashier. but, it evoked some kind of christmas spirit. i know i know, christmas is getting too commercialised, but we're non-christians! and that's the only way we know to celebrate it. haha.
and that's the shirt i've been wearing for probably the 73rd time since i bought it only a few months ago? it's horrid, the many times i rewear my clothes.
now, i've got the same pooh di has! it really is 'how cute'.
qiao's reindeer, and she got a matching one for her boy! waiting to go to their wedding already. haha.
mango tart, and the strawberry cake that disappointed.
the bohemian shop yiqiao and her boy loveee.
i love, love, love this long poster of greyish-pink tulips. sighhh. hundred over though, at ikea. too expensive a christmas present for anyone. :(

impromptu bali thai buffet with the family. tantalizing, lavish spread of sweet pandan chicken, tom yam soup, fragrant pineapple rice blah blahh. and non-stop flow! :) my parents are the best.

the darn postman. we knew we couldn't count on him, but we had to. the only way to get to ngiam residence. (especially when Teo bailed. :( ) Well, at least the dog-fearing man made it, BETTER than last time when the card (which i fussed over the whole birthday night) was a total no-show. GRRR.
i think i might be getting myself a winnie egg too! they seem awfully cute, dont they. liked how di phrased it, "Eh the pooh is how cute!!" extremely, i must say. -beams with pride with regards to me and mab's awesome egg-twisting luck.
today was spent doing nails (hands, feet) in front of the tv. oh i really reckon the number '5' on the remote pad must be wearing out fast, because i keep punching it in. all the interesting taiwan shows are on channels that have that number! and then, later in the day, went down to the court and macs with the family! haha, my brother is suspecting favouritism. he insisted that if he had been the one to suggest macs, my parents wouldn't have agreed. and then we experimented, and it seems like the suspicion holds some truth!! hahaha. but nahh. my parents (esp daddy) love him just as much as me lar. but the parents might be more encouraged to show more love if my bro could stand being away from the keyboard for a whole day, at least.
chanced upon (okayyy, so i didnt chance upon, but deliberately linked to it lar. fine.) this chiobu's blog. some hot babe we were always on the lookout for in school. i think im never going to grow out of the oh-i-wished-i-was-her phase. don't think it's even a phase for me even. there's always this pang of envy when i see these popular and good-lookers. (generally, possessing one attribute naturally leads to the acquisition of another) and i just cant help believing that there can be nothing really wrong in their life. it's like, "he's constantly failing? who cares, he is soo shuai!", "she's a smoker? that's not healthy, but woah. look at how well she wears those jeans."her family is really messed up? okay, that gotta suck. but.. but oh my, i think she just looked my way. those eyes!!" good looks can make up for a lot, no? okayy, no. im just not thinking straight (mature) now.
tomorrow. christmas city lights!! -grins. missed you too, girly.

what a lazy sunday. windows cant be open. the rain has been pitter-pattering since forever, ill rather the whole reservoir of raindrops just hammer down on us in a fierce fast downpour. bleahhh. not liking this caged up ambience. at the mercy of nature, we are, indeed.
Got back from sembawang park yesterday morning. tired beyond words, and slept till late noon.
The scenery there was gorgeous. The sky turned dark purple and splashes of pink, orange decorated the horizon as the sun rose. surreal tranquility. Pity I was busy feeling like a lightbulb, haha. My cousin and gf lar, had to stand just before me, whispering sweet nothings.
They claimed they saw shooting stars! gosh, i didnt know those appeared in Singapore.
As everything around me turned greyer as the night arrived, and the moon hung low, I lay on the army mat, unblinking eyes lifted to the velvet-blue sky, dusted with shimmering stars.
Bah. shooting star my foot. All i got for staying awake the whole night till we had to get up to barbeque breakfast, was a splendid view of hovering mosquitoes and if i was lucky, some dried leaves landing on my head.
Anyway, the photos below are in reverse order.

The lovey-doveys. 
They're hooked alright. Just before we headed off to Sembawang Jetty.
So you should start viewing from HERE.
Sheesh. Uploading photos are a real chore, had to keep a Friendster page refreshed to keep me busy while waiting.
Now to do the very much delayed chore - vacuuming the floor.

my daddy is repairing the blue lights on the christmas tree (oh, i gave in to temptation, who can stand the sight of a bare christmas tree?? yar. so all the silver-gold ornaments are hanging proudly on the looking-very-good-now tree. -beams)
im sipping the frothy orange-carrot juice my mom just blended for the family.
im a very the happy girl now! :)
who say there is theatre studies tomorrow? who say one!?! shut up. hahah
okay, im still very much in blissful felicity.
and bintan(22nd to 24th dec) is promising this.

it's been, about 2 weeks since gong gong passed away. and i dont feel any tears coming on when i mention about it anymore. coming to terms with death, that's what.
oh, but at the church production with priscilia, it was just too coincidental that one segment was devoted to 'Goodbye Grandma'. That had me struggling with the inner faucet for a while, and i think i got pris a bit worried at the start. but it's all fine. :)
on the topic of dates, it's only eleven days more before ill be seeing diana FOR REAL! and not through some blurred, laggy online window. december's sounding like a really good month.
I dragged out the flattened fake christmas tree, despite mom's discouragements (she said traditionally, we aren't allowed to celebrate because gong gong just passed away.) But really, i dont see any reason why gong gong wouldnt want to see us happy. And so, i started getting it all poofed up and standing on its legs. now all i got to do is drape the string of lights around and accessorise it with glass stars and silver angels. that will have to wait till my final paper on Thurs.
My, i have no idea how to study for Theatre Studies, really. I'm just reading Esslin, and hoping that all that information comes into use when i flip the paper over. that whole four days to prepare is kinda wasted on me.
At least, it's just one more day. :)
gong gong, i really believe you've gone on to a better place, with po po.
