Daiso Timer & Past Vogue Pictures





A photo of my Daiso vogue timer for lab use!



Photobucket


So cute right! :D
(Everyone has to print their names on their own timers to prevent looting by others!)
It is just too bad I won't get to use it. CS had to help me with starting it while my hands were busy holding the lab mouse.




Tuck Wei began a craze of uploading past photos to our Whatsapp Group Chat.


This was how we looked on my 19th birthday (I mean "our" since Tuck Wei and I share the same birthdate):

Photobucket

The guys! :D
Mao Mao was really much darker as a result of serving the nation, and was nicknamed "Foreign Labourer". We girls really wanna ask him what whitening cream he had been using!
And all looked slimmer too. Lol. (Gonna be the No. 1 Most Hated Girl in my clique again!)
Long hair seemed like the in-thing back then lol.



Photobucket


The girls!
I was so so dark! Compared to the guys, the girls didn't really change. The only obvious change is the hairstyles.



Photobucket


Met with Ying yesterday and she sent me a photo of us 3 years back in Miao's apartment. I was in Uni then and was a little slimmer I think. My eyebrows were thinner too as I trimmed them by myself (Was really really poor, didn't earn alot from giving tuition and spent alot on printing notes, buying textbooks, paying for transport and hostel stay so didn't have the money to get a trim by the professionals and couldn't afford any exquisite meal.)



Photobucket


Look at us in May this year!
Do we look older (or should I say mature)? U be the judge.
:D

Legoland



Hi dears! 
Didn't blog the whole week but had an excuse of needing to compile data after work hours. :D 
My excuses for not blogging last weekend were plenty - Caught "End of Watch", gave tuition, watched Youtube videos and went on a virgin trip to Legoland Malaysia. 

:D



Blogging about Legoland soon.. :D
Downloaded soft copies of the photos from pictureAir! :D

 Photobucket

Managed to catch a walking Lego with slim legs lol.
The guys are like a bunch of teens, so energised!



Photobucket

L for Legoland!

JunWen's 26th Birthday Part III




My dad just got home at about 9pm just now after a tiring day at work, and was in the living room watching mioTV. It wasn't until 10pm that I realised he was in deep sleep, when he ignored me although I tried to initiate a conversation with him. He held the newspaper in his hands with his head held low and looked as though he was reading it when actually he was sleeping soundly. And no matter how loudly I tried to wake him, he didn't and this truly scared me to tears. I stayed beside him for awhile to check if he was breathing properly. Once I assured myself that he was indeed breathing in regular breathing patterns, I went back to my room. He woke up about 15 minutes later by himself. Cherish your parents, u never know when it might be too late.
 

My mum has always been wanting to do a small renovation of our home kitchen but postponed the thought till last week when she finally has enough financial support. Lol. I persuaded her not to when she consulted me since I thought our kitchen isn't bad looking anyway and we can just make do with it. She was agreeable in the beginning but still went ahead with the $8,000 renovation anyway lol. I decided to support the idea that Mum should do whatever she pleases since she has much less worries on our family finance now. :D


I am now watching a Taiwan drama series 拜金女王 (Material Queen) which is great by the way. You should really watch it too! 

:D I think you would be as moved as I was and as addicted to it too.




Down to the last part of Jun Wen's birthday!
Was supposed to take him for a quick getaway in another country for his birthday but didn't due to my condition. Promised him that we would go somewhere after my op since I really wanna be in a foreign place enjoying a different scenery and experiencing another culture. 


For the last part of the day, we went to the Brozeit Bar at Vivo! I was unsatisfied with the taste of the banana syrup beer that we had at the 313 branch, hence was determined to re-discover the taste at the Vivo branch and at the same time introduce it to Jun Wen!


Photobucket


Affensaft was the beer that I have been ranting about. 



Photobucket

Although he was famished at that time, he tried so hard to resist the thought of ordering some side dishes to fill his stomach. 


Photobucket

He could only look at the menu and think about how the food tasted like.
Lol.




Photobucket


Told him to take a photo of my carefully done eyeliner.



Photobucket

While waiting for our beer, he posed like KP in Kukup. Lol.

Scanned the surroundings and found out that everyone else was dressed so pleasantly! The men in those long-sleeved shirts and the ladies in either high knee party dresses or bodycon dresses.  Oops, we seemed like the only ones not so well dressed. Lol.




Photobucket

And our beers came. They were disappointing once more.
I couldn't think of any reason why they didn't taste the same as the ones I tasted the previous time I patronised there except for the last time I ordered a 0.3 litre instead of a 0.5 litre.
Perhaps they added the same amount of banana syrup in both 0.3 and 0.5 litre beers, making the 0.5 ones extremely diluted.


Photobucket

His t-shirt was bought from a shop at Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. Causeway Bay is really a superb place to find some awesome guy clothes! I thought that the parrot on his shirt looks so much like the bad guy in Kungfu Panda II.




Photobucket





Photobucket


Photobucket

I gave in in the end and shared a Shrooms pizza with him with a deal of him having 10 pieces while I have 6. (He wouldn't eat anything by himself if I refused to share with him!) 



Photobucket


Told him to make a wish before the pizza. Lol.
He wouldn't tell me what his wish was, although I could guess it effortlessly.

Kukup II



DJ discovered a new app which tells of your future life after you input your birth date and time. She read out for me so many sentences of hardly understood Chinese that I gave up listening to it together. Lol. So she summarised it as "You will have a good life after the age of 28." Omg! If only this app is accurate (I don't believe in fortune telling), then I would not have to worry even if I am going to struggle with life from 25 to 27.



Kukup Part II


Upon reaching the chalet, we hogged the karaoke system for sometime before we went out of the chalet for tea time!




Curry chicken was served as tea.
Photobucket

We were the first to scoop the contents out from the pots.


Photobucket

Near our eating area was this extension where people can go out and enjoy the sea breeze.


Photobucket

And CS was the one to explore the breezy wind. He looked really emo there even though the curry was supposed to make him feel better.




Photobucket


Photobucket

At this moment, Jonathan commented that we always take photos with food in our hands. Oops.. :D





Photobucket

Close shot of the curry chicken.
Always food appear very appealing in photographs, as opposed to humans who require the combination of good lighting, a really good camera and superb photography skills.




Photobucket

Heard people selling ice-cream nearby. Although my stomach is of full capacity due to lots of snacking, I asked Simba to buy one for me as our philosophy of being overseas is to attempt everything there! This is so that we make every part of the trip worthwhile and strike it off our "Places to visit" list after the trip. :D
Each ice-cream costs only SGD 0.40! The unique cone shape reminded me of the torch which the Statue of Liberty holds on to and Azabu Sabo ice-cream.





Photobucket


Photobucket

Dunno what's so funny at that point of time but well this photo is so candid!










Photobucket


When CS volunteered to take a photo for us, Jun Wen went to grab the pole and was swinging about it trying to make himself look like he was going to jump into the waters. Got me really worried about him. Lol. The monkey!


Photobucket

A boat sped by, with people in the boat waving to us when I was pointing my camera at them.




Photobucket

The locals were already preparing the barbeque dinner for us by the time our tea break finished. Look at the burning charcoal behind him!



Photobucket

A snake was caught in the net and we were told to let it go. Jonathan then used a small net to let the snake slither into it and while he was lowering it to the waters, Simba stretched out his hand attempting to touch it but I stopped him in time. Phew! :D
The snake could be poisonous for all you know! :(



Photobucket

Touring around the island was one form of entertainment, with the added advantage of us taking abit of exercise after the endless eating and singing.
Found an abandoned boat that gave me the shivers since all action horror movies like "The Hills Have Eyes" start with the victims finding an abandoned vehicle which was once owned by the previous batch of victims. Lol.



Photobucket

CS and PH spotted a dried up shit and told us to take a close look at it since we couldn't find it anywhere in Singapore. Lol.
Jun Wen jumped at the opportunity to pose with the shit. Yes, we should not have any doubt that the boyfriend is eccentric.




Photobucket

The small shop where you could rent fishing rods and buy beer.


Photobucket

The residential area. Caught this family stealing Singapore's TV Channel network, Channel U.




Photobucket


Photobucket

One of the most majestic houses that we saw.
I was busy capturing shots of this house from afar when its owner, a very friendly granny, came out and invited us in. We were so taken aback by her hospitality that we did not know what to do. To reject her or not? Hence Simba took the initiative to step into her house and led us into it too.



Photobucket


I always believe that a beautifully designer house should have a very elegant staircase and this has definitely surpassed the standard.


Photobucket




Photobucket

After the inspiring tour, dinner was almost ready.
Their expertise in barbecuing made me wanna stand in the midst of them hoping to blend in and hopefully learn how to barbecue without burning these food.



Photobucket

The otah were among the nicest. Pretty spicy though.



Photobucket

BBQ wings which are all fully cooked.
Impressed. So impressed.




Photobucket

The hot dogs weren't burnt too!



Photobucket


Photobucket



Then after dinner, PH saw people releasing sky lanterns into the sky and want to try one too.



Photobucket

Thus we took a deflated lantern and began penning down our wishes!
:D



Photobucket

Was told to write in Chinese characters and since I have lost touch with Chinese for 9 years, I was not confident of writing them down correctly so this is the time my iPhone dictionary came in handy!
A granny who happened to pass by commented that my handwriting is so nice! LOL.

CS accidentally photobombed. And his bored expression went to show that I took a great deal of time figuring out some Chinese character.


Photobucket

Simba writing down his 4-character wishes. :D



Photobucket


Lol. No dictionary was used as CS offered his help. At the glimpse of his writing, you can conveniently deduce that Jun Wen was really panicky about some words. :D




Photobucket

My completed masterpiece. Lol.





Photobucket

After all of us were done, we approached our amiable tour guide to help us in lighting our lantern up.



Photobucket

Yea! With our lit lantern!




Photobucket


Our lantern flew up quickly as soon as we released it which was a good sign. :D
