Last weekend in SG

Am back in aussie. Since I am free, so I will be posting back dated entries. First in line would be my last weekend in SG. It all started with Dim Sum Dollies re-run. It was fantastic. To watch 3 ladies sing abt the Singapore history in such an entertaining way is really a change from the usual textbook we all used to know.

After the musical, all of us went down to Marina Square to a Hong Kong cafe for supper. The ladies mostly had their coffee while Danny and I had our desserts. Chit chat and some minor gossip and soon Danny and Yvonne left us to go home.















Danny and I with our HUGE desserts..















Ladies dressed up for the musical.. having coffee.. Claree, Rine and Yvonne

Then Shirine, Claree and myself left to catch L:Change the World. The movie was good. Except don't expect any Death Note action. Storyline was good and it was entertaining at the very least. However, the movie made Shirine so interested in the whole Death Note thing that she started watching the Death Note 1 and 2 DVDs. Hahaha. Think I converted her.

Next came Sat. It was afternoon KTV followed by sumptious dinner of salted egg crab. Very nice dinner and then went down to Union. I had one of the most enjoyable dance-nights and it all ended with a Reuda with Jackson to Playa No More, followed by one of my fav songs, Mondo Bongo.

Off to Geylang for frog leg porridge after all that dancing!~ Many thanks to all that turned up! It was a pity that Wee Leong and Ruide did not join us for supper, but it was a very fun night having them around for the final night~!















Clockwise from top: Me, Yvonne, Danny, Claree, Meilan, Shirine, Arthur, Cheryl & Jerry

Sunday was a mahjong day. It was very nice to cap it off with one of my favourite past time. Haha. Although I suffered heavy losses, I guess its the company that matters more.

Speaking of all these, I am missing all the good times. Hope to be able to do all these once again when I come back in 9 months time.

Nice chat

Had a good chat with my sister this morning.
Poor little girl. All alone in Canada in the freezing winter.













We miss you little girl.
I love you.

Ok.. i know you are cute.. but never THIS cute!!!













Hahahaha...

Steps

Less than a week left in Singapore. Guess what I had been doing these 2 days? One will expect me to go out have fun and eat everything I can lay my hands on but this is what I had done...




















Nice show... I like...

Yes. I had spent the past 2 days watching this 20-episode-HK serials. This is a popular series after the much more popular 唐心风波. Its still a very nice episode. Got me laughing at certain scenes. Even the last episode got me abit teary-eyed. I liked it.

Like a normal HK serial, it is very family orientated. Good thing that I understand Cantonese. Makes watching the show alot better than just reading subtitles.

Tomorrow will be catching DimSum Dollies with a few friends and have heard good reviews abt it. Hehe. Cannot wait!~

Guys weekend..

We finally got to visit David's new place. Its alot smaller than the previous house and all of us do like the old house alot more as well. But well, instead of playing games this time, we were busy trying to hide away from a hairy thing. It kinda clings onto our legs, and we can actually use it as a mop to clean the floor. Not forgetting, its pretty horny as well.















My poor leg...

Even NBX got attacked.




















"dun hump my leg.. go for Zhong~!"

Not long after the dog got tired of 'humping', we went out for dinner. It was Bak Ku Teh along Balestier Road.















Yay.... Group pic!

It was good dinner man~! We ordered so much food and we finished everything! Many thanks to ZZ, Mel and NBX for the dinner and coffee. They treated Dave and I as we are leaving Singapore over the next few weeks and will only be back end of the year. We will miss you guys and hope to catch up again!~

CNY and farewell lunch

CNY had come and gone. My goodness. Been having reunion dinners one after another. They just keep coming and I just keep getting fat. People's wallet expand due to CNY hongbao or bonus. My waist keep expanding due to a good meal one after another. At this rate, I might just blow the weighing machine next time I step on it.

Traditional family reunion was at Hotel Royal Plaza. It was a feast. Alot of catching up with other cousins and talks with the elders.

Cousin came over and stayed over on the eve of CNY. We supposed to go out to a nearby pub to drink and be merry but changed our minds last minute and ended staying at home playing mahjong with my parents. It was rather funny and marks the start of my mahjong-once-a-day routine.

CNY Day 1.

Went over to Uncle's place to 'bai-nian' and mahjong again then to maternal grandma. Overall, it wasn't much of hong-bao-collecting but more of a family gathering.

CNY Day 2.

Went over to Yongguang's place to 'bainian' earleir in the day before adjourning to ZZ's place. Everywhere is just so crowded. The guys and my relatives came up to our place for another round of gathering. Funny as it seems with so many pple in suich a small house but we were used to it I guess. Anothehr round opf mahjong started with the guys and cousin Danny stayed over once again.

CNY Day 3.

Morning took a cab to send Danny home and went ahead to Cheryl and Arthur's place. Started cooking and bits of mahjong here and there while waiting for the rest to arrive one by one. Great fun and company I will say. Their place is big and comfy. Evening, got to rush off to Miramar Hotel for bai-nian for mother's side relatives. Some family dinner whereby food sucks with me being the babysitter for a little cousin.

CNY Day 4.

Lunch with mum's extended relatives at Hotel Royal Plaza once again and while they shop at Marina Square, I caught up with another friend. Kinda last minute thing. Dinner was at Aunt's place where we had crabs and a very filling dinner. Hehehe.

Then last night, was dinner with dad's friends and they came over to play mahjong. My god... frist time I am playing $1-$2. Lucky we only played 2 hours and I won a meagre $4. Well, better than losing anyway. A friend of my dad's lost over a hundred. Haha.

This week is my last week at work. So my nice colleagues decided to have my farewell lunch earlier as some of them are on leave on Fri.

It was fun working with them and I got to say I am truly blessed with having such nice colleagues.

CNYcoming...

Hmm.. work had been busy..
been meeting alot of people lately...
sometimes it just feel sick and very tiring after calling someone out for dinner or tea or even lunch so many times..
only to be told that he/she cannot make it...
not that it happened once... but a couple times...
fuck man...
if u are not free from the start, then tell me so...
dun waste each other time from the beginning...
sigh...
some people...

=======================

been going out lately...
sometimes i feel that maybe its because i am back for too long already...
cause some pple who matters are slowly taking for granted all over again..
its like.. i always got to be the one to ask whether the other party is free to meet up...
and soon...
when i am tired of all these...and with time running out.. i would be gone soon...
might even be for good it seems..
by then, i guess only would i be missed...
it sucks to be the one party that always got to ask if u free for dinner.... if u wanna meet up...
i already started by asking u out,..
dun start playing games..
i am not that free.

=================

Anyway...
went on a date earlier today..
