accompanied my mom and 3 aunties to visit another auntie last wed. sounds like a major aunties gathering huh. so i was their ahmad for the day.. u noe.. ferry them ard... park car & stuff. anyway my tt aunt fractured her spine.. eeks. muz haf hurt like hell. hope she gets well soon! btw, being an 'ahmad' isnt always bad.. look wat i found!!
my godzilla BIG PAO. haha. this is bigger than my face. i am so not kidding. & i'm very proud to announce that i devoured half of that BIG PAO! the other half was shared by 6 other aunties. SIX!! (see how tiny their stomachs are compared to mine? heh)

it tastes real gd!! packed full and BIG with loads of stuff.. (not to forget that it can feed 12 aunties!!)

yup.. mtg my gip dindin group again tmr! here's wat i baked for them... individually packed somemore. (a glaring sign that i'm reli too free)



won a pair of free movie tix to the preview of CASHBACK @ marina sq today. hmmm.. let's juz say that the movie's one of the most pornographic one that i've ever watched. no wonder it's rated M18. (i wonder why it isnt RA?) HSD guys will be pleased to know tt there's plenty of naked women. completely, stark naked women taken from ALL camera views possible. very artistically somemore. but all in all, quite a nice comedy lahs. u shld reli catch it if u love studying naked bodies. (they haf enough screen time to allow u to slowly study the naked bodies!!)

rite.. here's wat 2 gluttons had after the movie preview.. chocolate fondue @ swensen's! looks great huh. but looks only. the stupid chocolate SOLIDIFIED when we were halfway thru it la. either the aircon's too strong or the tealight @ the bottom is too weak. but we mopped up the entire chocolate goo all the same =)

on feasting & getting fat

2:02 PM

~the Chocolate Factory @ clarke quay~

yup.. EVERY single thing tt u see above is absolutely fantastic!! (not to mention awfully rich and sinfully fat.) btw, no photography is allowed so wat u see above is kind of illegal. =P if u're feeling skinny or greedy, u shld go visit!! =)

yest was national day preview.. so happened to see some fireworks at clarke quay..


today was great! fetched pk from her house early this morn, then went ECP where we chanced upon the OSIM Triathalon. lotsa muscled exercise machines there. looking at them swim/cycle/run is enough to make even the most nonchalent potato couch bow their heads in respect. yup. they were so zai they kind of looked inhumane.

anyway, we then had lunch at werner's oven @ siglap.

fantastic place + great ambience + fabulous food!! =)

see how happy and satisfied we were. heh.
great way to spend a lazy sunday morning..=)

finally stepped onto the grounds of holland V after 22yrs of being a singaporean. is tt downright pathetic or wat? but oh well.. better late than never huh =)

haoz and i had dindin at sushi tei. it's reli so much better than sakae lahs.
look at my pretty sashimi salad!!

cold soba..

dessert @ gelare with 2 whooping globs of fatty ice cream + whipped cream!

and these.. home-baked peanut butter cookies..


yeh i noe.. once my knee wound gets well.. i'll start burning them all off! all 10days of fatness. oh no.. sounds juz like boot camp. =(

~gone in a moment..

thank God for the little things in life..

10:29 PM

feeling reli happy today! nope.. i didn't juz win a million bucks or a trip to Europe.

i can FINALLY walk normally!!!!!! yeh.. u noe how BIG a deal that is to me.. after 10days of immobility and squirming in pain with every single excrutiating step. today i can walk!! woohoo! heh. dun care if i sound like an idiot raving abt how happy i am to be able to walk. juz super thankful and grateful for my knee wound to finally close up and decide that there juz isnt any more pus left to be squeezed out.

sheer jubilation i tell u. u reli wouldn't know till u've experienced it urself. think maybe we've taken too many things in life for granted...

anyway, extracted my last and final wisdom tooth today!! and guess wat.. i started feasting 2hrs after that! am i simply invincible or juz plain greedy. yeh. think it's more of the latter. =)

~gone in a moment..

1:29 PM

yest was our second wkend nite-food-hop! with oint in tow, haoz and i visited the ice cream chefs @ east coast after dinner at TM. so full la.. still eat eat eat. wat with all that VAST amt of food tt i'm eating these days and my immobility (read: all intake and NO OUTPUT = FAT). yeh. think when my knee wound recovers.. i go run 40km also not enough to demolish all that fat!!

anyways, ramblings aside, here's wat we had @ ice cream chefs! the ice cream itself was ok la.. it's more of the novelty and fun of creating ur own ice cream i guess. we had oreo ice cream + malteses + mashmallow, and vanilla bean ice cream + famous amos cookies + kinder bueno!! both taste fantastically rich, fat & sinfully wonderful! =)


yup.. then it was cheesecake cafe along siglap.the place was dimly lit and cozy. we had strawberry oreo cheesecake and peach jelly cheesecake. it tastes so normal la. no where near the cheesecakes we had at the REAL cheesecake factory in georgia!!!!

sigh.. so miss the cheesecake factory.. =P juz looking makes u salivate k. look at XP's and my gian-peng face. heh.


oh well.. wait till i become a millionaire.. i'll bring in cheesecake factory! (not to mention krispy kreme too). yeh.. at this pt of time.. u can tell that all these are juz wishful thinking. flying over to the US to feast sounds somewhat less far-fetched. =P

12:47 PM

yest was the end of my 3-day job @ the gifts & premium fair exhibition @ suntec!my job was to sell bears for president's challenge.. look at the cute lil bears! =)

made lotsa great frens thru this 3-day stint. relireli frenly ppl.. great bosses, the other exhibitors and other temp staff. this is the very first job that's truly enjoyable! (despite having to stand on my severely busted knees.)
yup.. then haoz treated me to this turkish restaurant at suntec. the food is damn good!! i now declare tt i'm a full fledged turkish cuisine fan!! but muz admit tt it's reli quite an acquired taste though... not for those who haf hmm.. traditional chinese taste buds..=P
turkish plain pita+ humus dip

mutton on flat pita with turkish yoghurt + tomato gravy

stewed beef + mash potato + cheese

turkish plate-wheat in honey sauce, turkey cream + pistachio pieces

all of the above taste finger-linking gd i tell u. and this is the only time i actually LOVED the taste of mutton and beef!! woah. simply heavenly. =)

miff and zah got back from their honeymoon @ hokkaido yest! look wat miff got me!

yup.. see the swatch watch? u can rotate the clock face to face inwards when not in use. my sis noes me so well.. i'm so accident prone tt ALL of my watches end up with their faces cracked or scratched! this will serve me well. heh.

on a separate note, regarding the saying that accidents/ misfortune always happen in pairs........
i just added yet another long cut to my disgusting knee wound ~arghhhh. the metal laundry hangar kind of juz crashed down on my calf while i was helping mom take in the laundry juz now. *&^%^$#$%. oh yay. ANOTHER open bleeding wound on my already uglified leg screaming for attention! this is not juz tortorous. it is EXCRUCIATING. =( i should reli juz live in a bubble.
and i know u secretly agree with me.

~gone in a moment..

6:39 PM

i'm still limping away and relatively immobile.. that means no going out! so rather than letting myself rot & collect dust at home.. here's wat i've been up to =)

feel so pleased with myself. haha. they taste superb k. look!! cheese, chocolate & peanut butter filled cookies!! now at least i noe tt should i choose NOT to be a chem engineer @ jurong island surrounded by explosives..

i can always open a bakery!! (and pray tt it turns out more successful than the lousy doughnut factory)


be working @ this suntec gifts & premiums fair for the corporate world for the next 3 days.. selling cute little bears for Presidents Challenge. apparently the rest of the temp staff got to do boring registration except me. i somehow got selected to promote the little bears coz the bosses thought that i looked frenly enough?! heh. oh well. now u know. a pair of sweet dimples can go a long way!! haha.

10:46 PM

as of this present moment, my pathetic left knee has swelled to TWICE its original size. nvm the swelling.. pus is oozing out non-stop as well! arghh.. damn irritating i tell u. all these combined with my mom's nagging abt how accident prone i am (even my ahma chipped in this time round). plus a disgustingly gory open wound on my knees = squirming in pain & anguish EVERYTIME i bathe + weird stares from passers-by when i'm out somewhere, walking with an odd limp. =(

so i haf no choice but to go down to the polyclinic and QUEUE several long long hours to have a doc look at my knee. sigh. this hurts MUCH MUCH more than the wisdom tooth op i juz had. =(

life is so full of OBSTACLES dun u think. one wrong step and *poof* there goes ur pretty knee!!
.
.
on a happier note, my parents now trust me to drive alone!! lalalal.. hard earned trust i tell u. oint and i went parkway for ktv this afternoon. it wasn't too bad. helped brighten up an otherwise totally mundane sunday!

4:27 PM

* NOT for the faint hearted!! u've been warned..*

think i haf got some serious psycho motor problem .. stupid yongshun keep saying i'm like the girl from 一身的眼泪.kns. where got!! k la.. so i tripped and fell over nothing at the road outside my house while walking last nite.. so now there's two huge disgusting gaping wounds on my knees.


so much pus and swelling! yucks.


yeh.. so old already still so accident prone.. sigh. no swimming no jogging not even walking for the next few days! =(

yup.. and when everyone else's busy burning fat and gg on diets, here i am happily chomping away. =P oh well.. figured tt we only live once.. and since i'm so accident prone, might as well eat and enjoy while i can huh.

pretty miffy, peepee and i at zah's place for tea ceremony. (see the guys in blue and white striped shirts behind us? they're all SIA pilots.. zah's colleagues & "brothers" for the big day.. but their gordy blue-uniformed shirts caused someone to mistake them as aircon technicians!!haha. lesson learnt: dun ever appear in blue and white striped shirts at a wedding.)

11:35 PM

i dunno if i shld be reli proud of myself or shld be ashamed.

i juz did the wisdom tooth operation yest and i'm busy gorging myself silly today!! not tt the gaping wound doesnt hurt any more.. there's this constant nagging pain tt serves as a reminder to me not to open my mouth too huge. =P

anyway, no wisdom tooth op will deter me from eating!! i had horfun, meatballs, mochi, ice cream and lots of other food today. heh.. even my mom was horrified at my massive appetite =)

sighhhhhhh.. i'm reli bored. reli super bored. miff and zah went hokkaido for honeymoon already. and i have nothing to do... but stay home and nurse the huge gaping hole in my gums.

~gone in a moment..

11:29 PM

i hereby declare war with all wisdom teeth!!! ALL kinds of wisdom teeth! whether it's embedded or impacted or fully grown or wateva. why do i have so many??!! (i noe i'm blessed with much wisdom thank u) removed two today. come 23rd july still got one more to remove. thankfully that's a top wisdom tooth.. not another bottom one.

surprisingly.. the operation itself didnt reli hurt that much. the "operation crew" was reli experienced i muz say. i was FULLY wrapped up from head to toe such tt only my nose and mouth were left exposed (i reli mean FULLY) they kind of wrapped up my entire head including the eyes and the hair in the green surgical cloth. talk abt a green mummy. yeh. then there was EXTENSIVE DRILLING. the doc announced tt i would feel some vibration. then a second ltr it was MASSIVE vibration! so much so that the nurse had to clamp my vibrating head between both her hands k.

nurse: girl u dun worry k. very fast very fast. now drill finish then after that won't drill so much. later not so violent already. dun worry ok? ok?
me: -silence-
i couldnt speak or nod my vibrating head or jump out of the surgical chair with the drill stuck in my tooth & wrapped up in green cloth anyway. so wat can i do but lie there obediently and pray for the best rite? rite.

but i muz say tt the dentist's quite competent. BOTH wisdom teeth were removed in like 15mins i think. so 15mins of drilling and prying and it's done!! amazing rite.. the extraction that i did it shanghai took abt an hr k. u noe ... i learnt tt the worst part of the whole ordeal isnt the operation itself.. but the period after that!! it's 7 LONG hrs after the operation.. and it's still oozing blood la. since i'm not supposed to do any spitting today, it means that i have to swallow all the blood back in la. gross. wat does that make me?? a vampire??!! yucks. blood tastes disgusting. like drinking metal u noe. bio students will noe tt blood constitutes IRON. oooooooohh.. k.. shall stop being a sadist.

no solid food for a few days...... arghhhhhhhhhhhh how to survive =(
ultimate torture.

~gone in a moment..

miffy's wedding!

9:46 PM

woah.. super tiring day today. didn't get to sleep at all last nite and the day started at 4am this morn!!

there was the "tekan" the groom and his buddies section.. the proposal.. tea ceremony.. solemnization and then lunch reception (and somemore tea ceremony). yeh. tiring ok. follow miffy run ard everywhere in those stupid heels & dress. i've decided tt dresses are acceptable. but heels???! juz glad tt i survived - kicked them off EVERY single opportunity i got. =P

yeh. so i've decided tt i reli dislike this kind of traditonal grand wedding lunch/ dinner reception thing in hotels. i mean.. it's supposed to be ur wedding leh.. YOUR big day! then end up u hafto run ard and get urself (and ur entourage) super duper tired & u dun get to sit down and enjoy the food tt u paid so much for!! now that's wat upset me most. heh. ur wedding leh. end up u dun even haf time to eat. so unfair rite. someone shld reli change this tradition i tell u. feed the bride first THEN take photo!! yep. now it sounds more acceptable =)

tmr hafto go for wisdom tooth operation. AGAIN. argh. reli hate wisdom tooth.. some ppl have 1 only they grumble.. i have FOUR ok.. FOUR! grow so many dunno for wat. and all of them must grow at odd angles and get embedded in my gum in a super awkward position somemore. sigh. it hurts like hell k.. and the worst part is i wont be able to eat solid food!!!!!! nothing but mushy squeashy stuff again. ( i painfully recall the shanghai cold LIQUID diet immd after the op.) - a real nitemare.

sheesh. let me leave thru this.

can't help but feel so freaking pissed & upset.

never resented anyone so much before.
dislike was the most extreme.
seems like u're testing my limits - time and time again.
wonder wat i did wrong.
to be yelled at.
for no reason.
every single thing tt i've done for u.
goes unappreciated.
so left out.
so un-loved.
so cut off. isolated.
only remembered when sth needs to be done.
an errand needs to be run.
even maids recieve greater respect.
than me.

"人丑无尊"??

so that's how superficial the society is nowadays??
nobody takes u seriously if u look like crap..
so tt explains the mad frenzied rush for beautification and slimming pdts.
so tt's that??

dun tell me life's nothing more than juz slimming and dolling up and looking gd.
if that's the case then i've probably never lived.
never will.

Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!

alrite.. i got tagged by madaliene.. so.. here're 6 weird things abt me!

1) i'll never be able to sleep (or do anything constructive) if there's a lizard in the same room. i wld rather sleep on the couch or sit in the toilet. anywhere without lizards will do!

2) my mood is very heavily dependent on my level of hunger i.e. i'm extremely irritable when hungry and surprisingly happy and agreeable when fed =)

3) i dread bathing. i reli do. somehow, i secretly wish tt everyday wld be winter so it'll be too cold to bathe... & nobody wld say i'm disgusting if i dun bathe coz everyone else wld not be bathing!! =P

4) i have a fetish for guys in uniform.. somehow guys in uniform look more appealing! (by fetish i mean i like seeing guys in uniform.. strictly no other forms of fantasies!!)

5) i only truly enjoy shopping for food.. any kind of edible food!! =)

6) i used to like sitting at the very first seat of the 2nd level of the SBS bus.. i simply love peering down at the road thru the huge windscreen and pretend i'm the one driving the bus instead. i secretly still do. (but tt doesnt mean i wanna be a bus driver!)

rite.. 6 ppl who're tagged:
1) oint
2) haoz
3) agnes
4) PK
5) alex
6) bing
