Happy 2007!

We actually went JB and had our countdown there... it was a happening X'mas eve! Morning/Afternoon photos are still unavailable... so, shall post the Evening/Night events first! We were at Science Centre at 230pm... wanted to stay til closing time (6pm), but Takashi came up with the idea of going JB for dinner...all of us.........on! we left Jurong at 430pm..Takashi sent all of us back to Sembawang, Amk ave 4, Amk ave 3... then back to Sembawang again to park his car.. then we took a train from Sembawang to Kranji to meet QC... i took alot of public transport today! haha.. it's been a long time since i took bus! and i actually took it twice today! that time veron topped up $20 for me on my Easi-link(for the Olympus Race), and i have a total of $28 in my card now... think i can use it till 2008! haha~ Reached Kranji at about 645pm.. and QC is almost dying of hunger!

Took this in the train.........anyone can guess which leg belongs to who? gets....a kiss from me! :)

There was no crowd at custom...and no crowd to squeeze with us on the bus! so cool! we reached JB is less than1 hour...which is like so fast! when we crossed the custom, we took a cab(3 in a cab) to the place to eat! waited for half an hour...finally the food came... and we're not allowed to eat till all the dishes arrived!

of course...the drinks came first........XY is amazed by the size of the sugar cane drink.. i think the guys ordered 1 litre of sugar cane...haha!...the girls are more sensible.. smaller cup...it cost only $1.7 for the big mug...and about 1.2 for the medium mug...the middle cup is already 1/3 empty.. takashi kept drinking the sugar cane....

The Stingray... baby kailan... and deer meat 'arrived'... but not allow to eat.. haha..that's my hand...cannot resist the aroma of sambal ...and my saliva just keeps flowing...so i just poke abit.. make sure it looks untouched later during the "photography-session" of the food..
then...kangkong arrived...that skinny hand belongs to QC...he cannot resist too...so he took kailan.. took abit...so it would look "untouched"....
Finally...Veron also cannot take it...so she took a stem of kailan..we're really very hungry!
Seems like XY also cannot take it...he took the deer meat placed directly infront of him.. Takashi wanted to order somemore...but XY stopped him..if not, we really cannot finish...we ordered 7 dishes!!! Yeah! Crayfish a.k.a Hae Bo~ this is the best dish! all of our facial expressions changed when we took the first bite........see example below............. QC says that's like the best thing he's ever eaten! he's so contented with his food that he didn't talk at all throughout the dinner... he's usually the ultra-chatty one.... when the medicine wears off *oops*

ok...look at the mess we created.. oh.. we ordered crab also.. see that metal dish on the table? yepz.. our plates were like piled up with shells and remains of our carnivorous act. We ate up every single piece of edible thing you can find on the table..and surprisingly, we felt...something was missing.. our stomach is still craving for something.... then XY suggest...how about we order ANOTHER.......................................... CRAYFISH a.k.a HAE BO!!! *faintz* there.. we all dig in once again...and this time... we were fully statisfied!....and then... XY went to get for us... a bbq chicken wing each... he's the big dino for that day! Who's the one who stopped Takashi from ordering more.. in the end, he ordered the most! ok...and guess how much was all these? $15 per person.... for all that we ate!!! In Singapore, a stingray itself already costs about $15.. but we paid $15 for crayfish...crab... deer meat...e.t.c..............

after that, we took 2 cabs again...to City Square.. and we watched... Night at the Museum... not too bad a show.. we watch the 12.05am show.. directly after countdown.. luckily it was a rather funny show.. if not we would have fallen asleep after such a long day! the movie ended at about 215am....no more bus back to Singapore! we walked all the way from City Square to Singapore custom...which is like 30mins to 40mins walk! *faintz* QC was complaining throughout! i suggest the Army should take him again... the girls are not even complaining!

It's a different experience this year... and i spent it with a different group of friends... damn happening friends i have...... Merry Chritmas and I love you all! *muackz*

I got 3 white roses for X'mas...and of course.........what i wanted...........yeah!

Silver G-Mix Watch
1" thick signature embossed silver tone metal bracelet band with 1" X 1" square crystal trimmed casing. Crystal inlay silver signature on a white sunray face. Adjustable link closure. (86073L )

We won this camera! QC, Eileen, Veron and I went for the Olympus race........something similar to amazing race.........
Now the 4 of us have the same camera! and...to differenciate, Veron bought all of us a camera strap with our names! yeah!
I've been checking the Olympus website, and i guess they will post our photos there soon.. they usually upload photos of their events...so when they do, i'll post it up here! i LOVE MY OLYMPUS 740!!!

It's been a very very happening month...something's not quite right with this bunch of friends i'm with...this may sound scary...but...we're meeting up EVERYDAY! really! not kidding! There are so many burfdays...and events! To quote QC...all the meetings we had these 2 months made everyone feel like we've known each other for 2 years! Especially the 7 of us... you know who you are!
To begin with...it was Lorraine's burfday at YukiYuki buffet...at Marina Square...the one where you can "fry" your own ice-cream.... well, the cruisine is similar to Seoul Garden's...but so much better than Seoul! and...it's worth the price too.....unlike Seoul... you'll get sick of the meat after a while...Lorraine's 24 this years...oh.. so *LD already.......wahhhaahaha! After food, we went to poke some balls....pool lah! haha.. about an hour plus...while waiting for Xinyang.. then i went off to hide lorraine's BIG BIG present somewhere..and the rest brought lorraine to where i was to find her pressie... and ta da! we presented her with the cake!...it was so late already...there was no where to sit or chill out.. so we happily settle at a lift lobby...there was air-con.. big space... a very good location! "Happy Burfday Lorraine"....(I apologise for my 'Overdue-Blogging-Syndrom')...
there...her big pressie...LOTR 3D Map.. until now... ALL of us are still wondering why she love this map so much...haha.. anyway.. for Lorraine's information.. Veron, Eileen & I fix up the map with our own hands! the frame and everything was bought seperately.. so the 3 of us....wearing SKIRTS on that day(except me)....sat on the floor...at suntec.. measuring, cutting, marking, cutting, pasting etc.. when you open up the frame.. you'll probably find some of our hairs.. or sweat..hahhah
Following... Felicia's 23rd Burfday & Eileen's 26th Burfday! to be able to cater to 15 pple, we had steamboat at a restaurant at Sembawang...not buffet style..but very filling.. only $8 per person.. food's not bad too! after dinner and catching up, we went outdoor to celebrate their birthdays.. there.. 5 of us presents Felicia with her birthday gift!
YUM YUM! Veron & I went to Crystal Jade to get the cake...very delicious! it had marshmallow in it!
There was a swimming pool there, and we starting to throw pple in..haha..the first was Felicia..but with a valid reason, we pardoned her (habouring in mind that in KuKup, the FUN begins..wahahah).. next was Eileen..her birthday mah..too bad...she came prepared though.. with extra clothes.. but... we decided to throw her BF in too!... haha.. poor Xinyang(now known as Benjamin), all of us manage to throw him in..yeah!
The guys who were present that day! Trying to act cool........
The girls! Eileen is smiling so happily.......and....guess wat..............haha..look below...........
haha... her hair!!... Fanghui flipped all her hair to the front! haha~

Happy Burfday Felicia & Eileen!

Haha...seems a little late to blog about Children's Day now..BUT.....still have to lah... *keke* i have this 'Overdue-Blogging-Syndrom'... i usually blog when i have pictures... and how often do i take picture? not very often.. alright...here goes...... He's preparing pressie for his dear children... like more than 20 of them...... Packing goodie bags... and.. while packing, we munch on them too!
A close up on the goodies.. we were packing this in our room.. can you imagine, there's hardly space to WALK! and wondering where am i? On the bed.... wrapping pressies.........
OK... almost done.. so many things to bring over to chalet tmr... oh ya, we booked a chalet at downtown east... and have many programmes lined up for the kids... and us(we're kids too)!
We brought some kids for some fun....wanted to go to wild wild wet..but decided to go downtown east instead... and we were babysitting about 6 kids.. thanks to Eileen and Veron.. 4 adults to 6 kids..manageable lah.. These two are Dar's cousins......
and...there are the kids!...only 4.... their parents just leave them to us.. and they went to...work or something...ahha.. their parents will only come at night during BBQ... woah..heavy responsibility.. but it goes to show the trust between the parents and us... not easy yeh...
see how close they are to him? haha.. we're queueing up for go-kart... as you can see, there' s almost no queue..but still gotta wait lah.. to the kids, it's years! haha...they just cannot keep still!
There...all ready to set off! He did not reach the height limit to be the drivier....so Mr Teacher must drive...haha... all of us 4 adults, must be drivers that day...
He seems a little afraid...he wanted to sit with his sister....but we told him to be brave and ya...he went alone... well, it wasn't that bad afterall... at least he's tall enough to be the driver!
There...one more driver... going down the slope... WeeEeeEee~!
Carel won a big big pengiun! this game is like this... you have to throw a ball..and there are many many bottles with different colours... there's this bottle with only 1 colour, and you must be DAMN lucky..and carel.. just threw it....and it got there! so lucky! the penguin's taller than her!

There... a picture with the whole group..... plus penguin...

It was raining... and then it drizzled...and ya.. some of the rides could not operate...anyway, the kids gotta go back to the chalet to prepare for the BBQ session at night! Their parents are all on their way with food!
There were 2 pits... we set up the fire early.. one for the kids........and all started to BBQ...or rather..play with food..haha
How crazy can Desmond get? haha.. the smoke is hot and irritating... he actually wore goggles!
the food they BBQ-ed....and i think i saw a chao-da sausage!
See?! 2 wearing goggles now.. so next time if you complain that your eyes hurt or something, wear goggles!
We then started our lantern festival party! *hee* playing with lanterns...candles... sparkles...
Guess wat?! ....i.... don't dare to use a lighter........and dun really dare to play with candles... so sad right? so scared the flame will hurt my pretty fingers..
But i dare to play with sparkles...we bought them from Mustafa... so cheap! cheaper than those from Malaysia leh..
Here's the group photo of the whole gang of kids!! Happy Children's Day! hope they all have fun!!
