Met QC earlier to source around for Sicko Watch.. it was quite a fruitful hunt., at least he's more or less decided on which watch he's gonna get! While waiting for Veron to walk over from Suntec, went shopping.. and i saw this ring! i really like it alot! Can anyone get it for me for Valentines? please?! i found this at Dorothy Perkins(Marina Square).. it's quite cheap leh..well, we proceed to Ai Qin Hai when everyone arrived..
Lorraine & I !!!... I mentioned in my previous blog entry that we seldom take photo together and i'll make it a point to in future... so here's our 2nd photo for the week! wEeEeE~
Cam-Whoring while the singers are singing their songs.. Before coming here, QC and I were still thinking of leaving the place earlier..hee~ but i think we're glad that we stayed on till the end.. they can really sing!

I brought my 7.2 Mega-Pixels camera...but guess what... LOW BATT! argh.. have to use my Sony Ericsson 3.2 Mega-Pixels.. sigh.. that's why it's so blurred... never mind..hear the voice.. so charming..

This one's not bad too.. but can hear abit of 'off-tune'..can anyone spot it? hee~ nevertheless, he's voice is overall rather soothing and warm..and nice...~
QC's birthday part 2 :) They actually sang birthday song for him on stage! i guess QC will never forget this moment!
Here's my 2nd time wishing you.. Happy 24th Birthday!

Had celebration at Jazz Blues..somewhere along Ophir Road.. took me quite awhile to locate the place! thank goodness QC spoted my car and hopped on..proceed to park at Raffles Hospital... by the time we got there, the folk's already mid-way thru their food :( I ordered Salmon! it's very very nice.. not very expensive... rather filling! ordered fresh Apple Juice! it's gonna be my signature drink of the year!
QC's 24 this year.. he's the first one in our group to celebrate birthday.. January baby.. and also the first to turn 24 in the '1984' group..
a photo with the birthday boy! and the dress-code for the day is... 'BLACK'!
Veron and I ! the next one to celebrate birthday would be her! 25! oops..
Lorraine! come to think of it.. this is somewhat our first upclose and personal photo! hee~ we should take more of it!
I gotta take photo with YJ...He's seldom in SHIRT! and it was a really good gesture that he bought this shirt specially for this occasion! how sweet right!
My 2 'Fri' Buddies! they're called 'Fri' buddies coz i normally spend my fridays with 2 of them..hee~ but not sure if our fridays would still be as free this year..
4 of us! Lorraine's looking left, veron's looking right.. haha.. so interesting.. i think we're all confused which cameras to look at! (there are 3 cameras + 1 Hp)
Folks in BLACK! we blend in rather well with the background! hee~
May our legs combine! QC's legs are quite hairy! haha~
May our HEADS combine toO! It was until I read QC's blog, that i realised that we took this photo before!
this was taken in Kukup.. in year 2006 Dec..
May our hands combine! Taken Dec 2006 at Kukup too!
Last but not least, after all the photo-taking sessions, we went to another cafe for dessert and drink..we stayed on till about 1130pm.. brought this bag out yesterday.. playing a duet with QC! hee!~

Here's wishing QC the Best Year Ahead..and may all dreams come true for him! Happy Birthday!

Had 2 lessons in the morning.. and 1 lesson in the afternoon..it's friday..and i've decided that i should not work so hard when approaching the weekends..

Went Kallang to renew my SI.. only to find out that.. i don't have cash with me! neither do i have cheque with me..they don't accept nets.. argh! wasted my trip down.. Tmr i'm gonna teach swimming.. i shall just explain to them that i just came back from holiday, and that they'll give me one weeks' grace..

Went to meet Alvin for lunch at about 1230pm..as usual, without fail.. i enjoyed our chit chatting session fully..supposed to eat at PS, but his craving for Indian Food suddenly arises.. headed for Roti Prata & Mee Goreng at Middle Road.. then..went G2000 to buy clothes with him.. he's starting work on 12th Feb! SO excited for him! Parted at about 3plus..

Met up with QC..He came over my place at about 5pm.. hang around at my house til 6plus.. then we went to meet Weijin.. It's been a long time since we had dinner together.. our usual "friday" gathering..just that, we did not DOTA today! hee~ Has dinner at New York New York.. While queueing, I was already eyeing on that candy floss.. it's usually for kids i think.. but i really wanted it! i think my whining has proved it's use.. QC got one for me! YipeEeEe~
QC's complaning about eating 'WHOLE' chicken! he felt guilty that the WHOLE chicken sits nicely on his plate,waiting to be eaten... haha.. he claimed that it would be better if they served it in halves.. keke.. no difference lah..
my steak burger! Had it once with Iris.. and i like it! Sinful..it's covered with melted cheese...
WJ's Fish & Chips! a really long fish.. it's the FIRST time that the 2 guys did not finish their food.. but i finished mine!
Baaaa Baaaa.. WJ eating grass... keke~ eating Salad.... Look so retard..

Simple dinner.. relaxing time spent together.. it's been a long time they've heard my whining! Many more fridays to come!~

First word that came outta my mouth when i reached Singapore..and till now, i've been complaining about the weather.. Even when i on my aircon to 19 degrees, it feels like a breeze..
Yes yes..i'm eating sushi.. wanted to eat some local food, but dunno why..ended eating sushi at AMK Kbox building..

but i still cannot withstand my craving for laksa! Immediately the next day, I jio Ernest out for lunch. Picked him up at his work place, and drove to Yishun Blk 925(i think) for their ever famous laksa! Ernest was saying should bring Toru to try laksa when he comes to Singapore. Don't think he've tried it yet!

This pic was taken last year.. have no time to blog then.. it was our DOTA session Veron's place.. i think we DOTA-ed for about 10 hours altogther.. from 10pm to 5am, then 1pm to 5pm.. i wonder how we survived! and i can't believe we're all so "on" to bring our lappies along..

when are we DOTA-ing again?

I had Ramen today.. with Ernest.. haha~

Toru didn't work today either..it's a public holiday.. woke up at 10am.. packed our bags til about 1130am.. finally, it's time to go home.. sobz.. Toru called a cab for us.. and our luggage filled up the whole boot and the passenger seat too! Reached Kichijoji Station.. Ernest and Toru went to buy the limousine bus ticket to Narita Airport while I looked after 9 luggage.. haha...

left Kichijoji at about 1230pm and reached Narita airport at about 230pm.. Bernard's already there.. He went to sent Lynn off for the 1130am flight.. Lynn's flying on SQ, while the rest of us coincidentally..all on the same flight on UA.. Checked in all our luggage, to find that Ernest and my luggage are all 'over-weight'! we gotta pay about 3000 yen per KG if not for Moreen's help... *phew* she managed to help us check in our luggage.. we're like 18KG over the weight limit.. could have bought another air ticket if we actually paid for it!

Reached Changi at 12midnight.. surprised to find QC and Veron at the arrival hall! my HP was off..and i didn't get their msgs at all..besides, QC couldn't get car but they still came down! so touched! i miss the 2 guys like anything! so glad they came!

once i stepped foot outta the airport, down came my first drop of perspiration..so hot! i miss the cold cold winter of Japan! took a cab back home..thanks to Veron and QC, if not for them..i don't think i can carry all my luggage back to my house.. hee~ it was already 130am while i unpacked my stuff.. i distributed the souveniers to them...just some small stuff here and there..hope they like it though :) then..we met up with Ernest for supper at Thomson.. we had prata! really craved for local food man! finally.. i let QC drive my car back.. and i touched my pillow at 430am..

Home Sweet Home..

Japan..I'll be back!

Changed my appointment to 11am instead.. couldn't wake up *sobz* Lynn came to meet me again at Kichijoji..of course..she went on to do her shopping while i dyed my hair.. Ernest went to meet her for breakfast...and i finished my hair at about 1pm.. All of us then, met at Tokyo station at 230pm, to go to DisneySea together!
Didn't take much photos as it's really very very cold.. and I've been to DisneySea before... so, shall give photo-taking a miss..

besides, my camera's at Toru's place! I've reminded both the guys to bring it out for me as i was charging the battery earlier on in the morning.. but BOTH the guys forgot! argh..

so..these photos are taken by Toru..and the rest are in Bernard's Camera...

came at 3pm.. thinking we can get the halfday pass...it's cheaper of course.. but half-day pass is only for DisneyLand.. so sad.. we gotta pay the full price.. should have came earlier...

the most memorable ride was Tower or Terror.. the wait at the queue was a freaking 1.5hours i think! and it's icey cold! but the ride was very thrilling and i think it left a deep impression in all of us! Indeed mark the finale of our last night in Japan :(

went back to pack.. and slept early.. gotta wake up early to pack again.. too many stuff!

Our plan is to go DisneySea today.. Toru's not working.. but he didn't wanna join us because he said the weather forecast said it would be 'rainy'.. so he'll give it a miss.. so Ernest & I went ahead to meet the rest first and then decide again on the plan..
it's indeed raining.. early in the morning when i opened the door, Toru shoved an umbrella to me.. i told him i dun like to carry umbrella around, but he insisted.. so i brought...and i'm glad i brought! Ernest left home earlier to Shibuya to withdraw money and i think he got caught in the rain *brRrrRr* Look at how strong the wind is! I'm laughing at Lynn's distorted umbrella!

the wind's really very strong.. and so cold! we're at Odaiba by the way..

decided to fill our stomach first before going out into the cold again.. well, we must keep our stomach warm at least! Queueing up to go into the restaurant...

it was a long wait.. for our food.. a really long wait.. so bored... till i played with the syrups...

nice?! flower with a stalk.. it's wet tissue ...hee~

flower with more petals! waited and waited... finally..the food came..........

and i tell you, it's definately worth the wait! it's the nicest baked cheese rice with egg and bbq chicken I've ever eaten! i gobbled it all up.. it's really very very nice.. really the nicest i've ever tasted!

some other shots while waiting for food... i took out the Hello Kitty Cookie i've bought..

decided to eat it.. the cookie is in the shape of Hello Kitty!

ya...and it broke into half :( Sobz...

my 'best friend'! haha...decided to share my Hello Kitty cookie with her!

half-half! (Basically, we're just cam-whoring)..

the ever famous Odaiba 'rainbow bridge'! dunno why it's called rainbow bridge.. i guess from a certain angle on fair weather days... you can see rainbow.. but definately not today.. the bridge is 570m long! we can actually walk on it! 9am to 9pm in summer and 10am to 6pm in winter.. but it's too cold..then dun wanna walk! there are 2 walkways..one on each side.. views of Mount Fuji and Tokyo Tower can be seen on each side of the bridge..

and Statue of Liberty.. no fire leh.. Bernard kept saying Liberty's tired as she's standing on only one leg... hee~ anyway, we decided to give DisneySea a miss..it's really too chilly for anything! The guys went to Akihabara again while Lynn and I went to Kichijoji.. i wanna get my haircut, while Lynn does her shopping..

This is my BEFORE haircut picture... it's all straight.. honestly, i'm a little nervous how it'll turn out to be like...

and this is my AFTER haircut picture! My Hairdresser Hata-san.. he's 29 this year.. and he worked in London for 4 years, Germany for 1 year..and travelled many European countries.. he's the only English speaking hairdresser there.. i said my hair's always very straight and wanted a change.. and he curled my hair! i almost freaked out when i saw myself in the mirror and i refuse to meet the guys at the pub.. but all of them preferred this hairstyle to my previous one.. hmm..and Toru actually offered to lend me his curler the next day to curl my hair! keke~

Went to Toru's friend's shop.. they sell Yaki-Tori.. it's really very good! of course, there's alcohol to go along with the food..Japanese drink alot! it's freezing cold outside... and the fan's actually a warmer.. Bernard told me to hold his shirt down while he removes his sweater.. but i lift it up instead! wahhaha.. wanna see his belly! weEeEE~

Bernard, Toru and I!~ CheEsE~
Cheers! Lynn and I~ Beer.....

I had one mug of beer.. and i was so thirsty that i drank Bernard's beer too..and i drank a glass of cocktail too.. and ended up drinking Bernard's one too..hee.. very very thirsty after all the yaki-toris..... left the place at about 1130pm.. Lynn and Bernard gotta catch the last train back to hotel...by the way, Moreen didn't join us..she's probably resting in the hotel...

Toru talks alot when he's strolling at Inokashira Park and after he drinks..that night he drank quite abit.. so when he got home, indeed..he talked alot..and he even took his electric guitar out to play..

Toru's playing the electric guitar.. i'm so shocked at how well he played.. he learnt e.guitar all by himself! i asked him how often he practised.. on the days when he's working.. about 2 - 3 hours when he gets home from work..on weekends, he practise 7 - 8 hours! I'm so motivated to get home to practise 7 - 8 hours on my piano and violin.. *er hem* i hope i can do it man!

Made an appointment with Hata-san at 10am tomorrow.. Gonna dye my hair tmr!

we slept at 3am today *yawn*
