all in one- super long post

sorry...haven't blogged in such a long time... but i can tell that my "good" friends are still having having fun on my blog... there're entire conversations going on without me blogging a single word.

Anyway...

let's start with my birthday. This year's birthday celebrations were really fun! i think i had almost a 4 day celebration weekend. i thank God for all my friends especially those who took the time to organise stuff and get presents for me... i feel sooooo loved!

the festivities started on thursday, with Jess and Wendy. they wanted to do something silly... well the story was that i'd lost jessica's birthday card the last time... so this time they hid my card! and gave me an empty envelope...



our food!!!! we ate at hog's breath cafe... wow... the steak was fabulous!!! melt-in-your-mouth tender and HUGE!!! we couldn't finish all the food we ordered. it's wonderful yummy affordable cow.... *slurp*



Then Friday. i celebrated my birthday day together with the rest of my colleagues. it was a co-birthday celebration. me and Liwei.

We got a cake that said happy 2nd anniversary. this idea came courtesy of Vonnie... that girl... she has too many bright ideas. haha...

then it was off to velvet for some dancing!!!!




my alcohol tolerance is going dowwwwwn. last time i could drink so much more... i must be getting old. gotta cut down on these binge drinking things... i hate getting hungover the next day. anyone know a good hangover remedy? be sure to share it with me.

Saturday... went for a wedding in the afternoon. of which, the whole time i was pathetically hungover. making idle chit chat while your head is pounding and your stomache is churning is not the most enjoyable way to spend the afternoon. i was looking at the food at the tea reception, and i was thinking... "hmmm, now would it be more disgusting to throw up fruit or chicken wings?" i chose the fruit.


Saturday dinner was for the girlfriends + a boy... I LOVE MY GIRLFRIENDS...

***EDIT*** Boy wants to be included in the lurrrrvvvve.... so yes this is a nice boy. we like boy a lot.


Boy should be honoured to be so accepted by the girlfriends... we don't accept just anybody ;)

The girlfriends... Jaime, Shuying, Jasmine, Janice...

we're missing Jac and Michelle who are in Australia (Mich is back by now, Jac is coming back soon!!!!!), and Berinda.

this bunch of girls are gonna stick by me for the rest of my life. i know it. what would i do without them... <3>Happy Feet
Ramon (in a cheesy mexican accent): Thank you, Thank you. Right now, i take a moment for myself, bow down bow down.
other penguins (they bow): You da man!
Ramon: ok that's enough, i feel your love.

hehehehe! watch the clip!!! this is my favourite part of the movie. i love those little mexican penguins. they're the funniest!

back to work... i.e. real life

well... i had a great 2 weeks off. got lots of rest, went shopping, watched movies, went diving, cut my hair, lost 2kg (haha).

but it's back to work now. one good thing is that work is not too busy right now. just some documentation to clean up till next week where the busy period starts again! i'm going to have a fabulous time the next 3 days! the boss is not around... hehehe... how blissful.

oh btw, for some reason, i am able to logon to gmail from my workplace (they block all the internet mail servers like yahoo and hotmail) cos someone found a backdoor link. kudos to the smart person who found out how to do it! anyway... so i get to go onto gmail and also use gmail chat! SOOOO all you people with gmail... logon and chat with me... :)

these few weeks feel like they've been full of activities, with many more activities this coming week!

notable events that happened...

Last Tuesday:

Haircut at Le Salon

Wah... it's really quite shiok to cut your hair there... they treat you like a VIP. we get bathrobes once we step in the door, and any kind of drink you want... and each stylist has a assistant whose entire role is to help the stylist. like holding up my hair when the stylist is blowing it... what a wonderful experience. the stylist who cut my hair was cute too!!!! tee hee hee...

oh yeah if my eyes look swollen it's cos they are! i came back from my diving trip with 2 bruised eyes... i looked like someone punched me... in both eyes! so ugly... sigh. the instructor said it would take 1-2 wks for the bruise to go away! but Thank God, the bruises faded by wednesday, and by thursday, they were more or less gone. I tried everything to get rid of them! i went to see the doctor, paid $100 for moisturising cream, and eye drops *rolls eyes*, and 2 days MC. After that i went to the Chinese Medical Hall and asked the old lady there what medicine is good for getting rid of bruises, and i came away with a bottle of tien chi. My cousin told me that hard boiled eggs (really hot), rubbed over bruises would help the bruise subside. I did everything. haha. and together, they all work! :)

Janice's birthday was on Saturday... we had an official celebration on sunday, and a mini celebration on saturday at the V tea room... haven't downloaded the pics yet... will post a pic up later.

sunday was fun, with joe as the official photographer, we went for lunch at crystal jade korean bbq place, then just hung around for gelato.

pics are on joe's blog... www.muchuu.com/photos/janicebirthday

i want to learn the LINDY HOP!!!

Don't they look like they're having so much fun??? i've wanted to learn it ever since... ever since. think i was in JC when i 1st saw people doing it. their faces look so happy!

SOOOOOO... Shuy and i are going to go learn!!!! the class starts on 16th Nov at Jitterbugs. (Hope i can make it for lesson 1--- it's the busiest period of the month... sigh)

YAY YAY YAY!!!! Bet i look stupid... i'm not the most coordinated person in the world... haha... i really look forward to it though!

watched The Guardian yesterday...

it's really not too bad... except for the really corny ending. they should have just stopped when it was good. watch it and you'll know what i mean.

there are no movies opening today!!! how is that possible????? so weird... i'm on leave... the only chance to watch cheap movies on weekdays... and i have no movies i want to watch. siiiiiiigh...
