this past week has been a blast!!

Last Sunday - 4th Jan! Thanksgiving Drama & Prize Presentation at Riverwalk!
starting from last sunday, we had our thanksgiving event at riverwalk!! and our drama team gave a most awesome performance! we sacrificed new year's day and many more hours just for that 10mins of drama but it was well worth the effort! thumbs up for the drama team! yay!


Our Most Evangelistic Member - Charmaine!


Best Newcomer - Nathan!



And as you can see, everyone is posing with the nerd specs! lolx.





Omg, Sean & Shawn, don't step on poor Nathan!!! Loved Jirong's "Tag Heur"-ish pose, so everyone decided to pose along! Erika could well take over his place, lolx, she looks like she's all ready for a rock concert. haha.




Most Obedient Member (for those always willing to avail himself for God) - Lilian, but she was blocked!! Arh!


Luckily, i got a pic of her! Haha, she looks like a strict discipline mistress here! And aiyo, what was Jirong trying to do?! haha




And here we have the best CG & CGL!! Dwayne's cell & Dwaye the man himself :)



Most Evangelistic Members! N109 - Charmaine Tan!


And we celebrated Jasmine's Birthday! Hehe, her cake was super cute!! COokie Monster!


And, last but not least, i present you, our DRAMA TEAM!!! we rock :) and it was a blast!


Last Saturday - Yin Yee is FINALLY back!!
I also met up with yin yee last saturday, she's finally back from Korea after a semester!! Awww! So glad to see her back! She told me her many experiences in Korea and now, i wanna go to the land of kimchi and bibimbab too!!! lolx. I love Korea for their asethetic tastes, the way the shops and cafes over there are decorated are so intricately romantic that i could well my time away sipping to latte in pure bliss. I wouldn't mind going Korea for Grad Trip, since it's so cheap right now with the falling won :) And it's Yin yee's birthday today, Happy 22nd Birthday Er Zhi!!



Tuesday - Dinner with Lilian
I met lilian on tues for dinner, she treated me to Lai Lai Restaurant at JP. And we spent the time talking about God, it was really insightful and inspirational even though i haven't been the most Godly person but i feel more determined as a Christian to improve my spiritual life now than before. I am very blessed to have Lilian in our new cell, she is always willing to reach out and try to get closer to each one of us. Her love for God is evident in how she sacrifices her time to help out with the cell group stuff even though she is bogged down with work. i wish i could one day be as sacrificial as her especially with school resuming and work starting in September...


Wednesday - Mambo at Zouk & Clubbing at O Bar!
Met Addy,John & Raymond for dinner at Manhatten Fish Market. Order two platters, was full to to the brim, but John's mud pie was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! We all decided to kop abit cause it was too good to resist. The mud pie was oozing in chocolate goodness(haha, sounds like a phrase from some commercial ad).



The gang!

Gin Tonic tastes like Detergent!!! HAHA. Washed our mouths clean alright! Ewww. But it glows in the dark, quite cool, though it can't be seen in the pic for the simple reason that there was flash.




Eww, Jaysen!! Wth were you trying to do??!! You could have picked a better target! lolx. And the guy in the all white ensemble, i'm quite sure is gay! omg, he had eyebrows arched so high like that of a boomerang! Can u imagine? He looked like he was always in this seductive sluttish look... I have nothing against guys plucking eyebrows, but not when your eyebrows turn out like that of a girl! :S


John's shutter specs!!! Hehe.


John the man, taking over Mambo King's place.

The guys!


we decided that the mambo music was horrid and headed over to obar around 1.20am.
Steph & I felt quite guilty to let the guys pay 30bucks for an hour of clubbing at obar :S


We walked all the way from zouk to obar and took a shot at the bridge. Haha, i just realised John is striking a "model-ish" pose!...lolx, must be remnants from his China studio experience.

The music at Obar was R&B and it was good to jive to. At least it was worth the money...

I am soooo lousy at mambo, all the moves just don't make sense to me...Steph says its the company that makes the difference, if your friends like mambo, they'd be willing to try all sorta stupid moves and the fun would lie in being stupid and retarded while trying to follow all the moves. But i'm like a tortoise, i can't ever catch up!



Me & Steph left around 3+am, too damn shagged to continue dancing. The rest headed back to zouk for their free drinks, lolx.

Thursday - JC Gathering at Kelly & Sompong's place!
I went for a gathering with my JC Clique, we watched Dark Knight and played the "Citadel" card games and ate pizzas and all sorta tidbits! Kelly cooked pasta for us too! After which, we headed down to the basketball court to play the "Circle of Death" which is a drinking card game. it was quite funny cause we could make up rules along the game like "No one can say the word "You"" or "Everyone must speak Chinese" and etc. The one who breaks the rules will drink up along with other rules of the game. It's a good game to get everybody drunk. We finished up a bottle of Vodka & half a bottle of Chivas that night.

I was sooo sleepy halfway through that i fell asleep in Sompong's place. The rest continued playing while i woke up at intervals to see what was going on. The next thing i knew, i saw Jie Wei in the Kitchen vomitting and Kelly in Sompong's room dancing away to Mambo music, haha. We continued playing throughout the night, learning mambo moves from Angie, playing this scary game that Sompong introduced on hotel626.com. By 5am, we lazed around on the couch and played HTHT (Heart-to-Heart-talk). Lolx, learned quite abit through the intimate session and some shocking revelation from Timo that he didn't tell us for 5 years!!

We left Sompong's place around 9am the next day and went to Mac Donald's to accompany Timo. When i got home, i was pretty tired and badly in need of sleep.

Pictures!!!

Jie Wei and Timo in their state of drunkardness! haha, timo looks like Santa Clause!

Playing Citadel and chilling out at Kelly's place!




Saturday(which is today) - Boon Kiat & Pauline's Wedding at CHC JW

Congatulations to both!! They are really compatible and i wish them many happy years ahead and a lifetime of companionship and love and bliss! Shall blog about it more when i upload the pics from my camera!

recap of events



last saturday (27 dec) - xmas party at my condo

my condo held the annual xmas party and this year, the committe members decided to invite a prestigious guest speaker, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnum. He made rounds around the estate and alot of people were crowding around him, just to look, take pictures and be kpos rather than to ask questions...i guess it's typical Singaporean behaviour -_-"

as i'm really sleepy right now, i'll just briefly describe some events and head to bed. the party had karaoke, popcorn booth, some game booths and performances by the line dance girls and a city harvest cg(i've forgotten the number though, n28??). They came down to sing xmas carols and i think it was a refreshing idea to reach out to people and also a time to bond. Maybe our cg could do something like that next time! lolx. and then there was....most importantly, free food! haha.

the funniest part of the evening was when my dad heard one of his fave hokkien songs being played, he rushed down all the way from our house to the function room where the dj was. he was sooo anxious to sing his karaoke that when i nudged him and shouted over the music, "Eh! Pa! U run all the way down to sing ur hokkien song arhz?!" He completely ignored me and ran all the way to the function room so he wouldn't miss his chance to sing!! wah seh. so kan chiong. he was so excited, he didn't even recognise his own daughter!!! *faints*






and there's my dad singing his hokkien song for the entire condo to hear, and i will never dare lift my head in public again....:S haha, kidding, he is a good singer actually.

tuesday 30th dec - "Bedtime Stories" & Late night tonning at Changi Airport!

went to watch bedtime stories with my fave comedian of all time, Adam Sandler!!! the show was funny as expected albeit too predictable. not one of the best adam sandler flicks but nonetheless a feel-good flick for those not in the mood for deep, thought-provoking moments.

later in the night, headed down to changi to send jo and yx off the next day! lolx, we played this card game that timo was dying to introduce to us called "Citadel", i turned out quite fun! haha, though we were quite skeptical at first cause it looked mighty difficult to understand at first. i feel tempted to buy one set myself now! haha.

time passed really fast and before we knew it, it was time to send the girls off. and to our horrors, the skytrain was not opened yet and there wasn't any buses at 4am so we had to walk all the way from T3 to T1. lolx. felt like Amazing Race. goes to show how badly in need of exercise i am. geez.

we sent the girls off and headed back home, even though Timo was still enticing us out for Mac Breakfast, lolx. he's like a changed person now, super enthusiastic! haha.


jojo is off to atlanta!! arh!! i wanna go back on exchange again!!







wednesday (31st dec) - Countdown 2009!

went out in the afternoon and later went for sean's countdown party at his place! there was plentiful amount of food(it was potluck!) and games! mahjong, twister, wii, card games! till now, my back and arms still ache from twister and wii boxing. Gab & LW are the experts at twister. geez. i think they probably escaped from the circus, i'm quite certain they are like professional contortionist, haha. they can contort their bodies like nobodies' business! i've never quite seen such weird looking body postures, it was very...errr....eye-opening and jaw- dropping! thanks to their gangly long limbs! i lost to them hands down. they could go on for hours...days maybe.

and i finally learnt back mahjong after 4years?? haha. yay. not such a noob anymore.











whoa. i really am very long-winded, aren't i?? no wonder my friends complained. lolx.
