17.7.05
woke up like super early today...
0630hrs on a Saturday is like FREAKING early...


sending Renhao off to NOC Shanghai bright and early in the morning...
poor guy didnt get to bring his rollerblades over...
haiz...
else he can skate skate skate everyday!
he'll be there for a year lor...
sooooOOoooo looonnnggg....
but so shiok!
will be a good and enriching experience...
look super good on resume too!


xinyi says i must work on taking photos on my own...
especially for taiwan...
yeah rite i say...
the guy refuses to be associated with me on my blog...
so he can take me and the scenery, all i want!
realise i dont have many photos of us together...
compared to other couples i know...
while i'd like to have those to look at sometimes...
i agree that nuthing beats seeing him in person...


dad and mum were working on the ST 160th Anniversary Mazda6 contest while waiting...
mum said she had a hunch that we'll win it...
so we stuck ourselves in the service roads of ECP...
just to put the contest form in...
called her to check at 1pm abt the results...
we didnt get it...
awwwww...
else i would ask for the car and hire a chauffeur...
slitty-eyed ones...


the mess after we salvaged the contest form from the paper...
it was madness la...
seeing adults crouching over UHU glue, pieces of paper and brandishing scissors...
things people do for freebies!


while stuck in the jam...
thought i should entertain myself taking artistic photos...
i seriously need a better camera...
this looks faaaaaaaarrrr from arty farty...

went to NUS to help out abit with USP Rag...
didnt do much...
but at least i managed to dismantle abit of the old structures...
so that we can use the materials for the new ones...
yippiez!
it was good getting to know the people involved as well...
met a AJSC junior...
a fellow Grp D engineer...
the 'boss' i've been crapping online with for so long...
and many many more...
look forward to more time together...
but that'll come AFTER taiwan...

met stella at buona vista to go bead shopping in holland village...
we got so beaded jewelry crazy that we wanted to make some ourselves...
found the shop rather easily...
but walked out empty-handed and very sad...
semi-precious stones are freaking expensive...
no wonder she charges so much for her work...
adjourned to Crystal Jade La Mien and Xiao Long Bao...
was stella's first time...
so we got two baskets of those yummy dumplings and a radish pastry...
ooh-la-la!
15bucks for the 2 of us...
it was my lunch...
but her high tea...
very very satisfied...
found some cheaper beads and jewelry making stuff in a cheaper place in AMK...
not exactly what i'm looking for...
but enought to curb my itchy fingers for some beadwork...

next up...
PC's place for BBQ...
few weeks since we met up...
my JC class...


ding and yxy at the fire...
they werent very sucessful la...


i decided to join in the fray...
purposefully candid-ed this pic...
so as to show that i was pseudo-hardworking...
pardon the aunty get-up...
i needed something that could take me airport-NUS-hollandV-BBQ...
and my judgement was impaired by the fact that i had 4 hrs of sleep and very tired eyes...
firemaking was exciting...
i put a moderately big charcoal in...
and they stared at each other...
so evil...
i got fire making experience one ok?
three days ago just make one leh...


i am very hardworking with regards to hotdogs...
maybe i was hungry...
but after the many baskets of xiao long baos...
i think i was just having fun with them...
as you can see in the next pic with my si dui tou YXY...


photo suitably cropped to remove what horrible arms i have...
but it's still there la...
while i like to think they're muscle...
it's far from the truth...
while i like to think i'm happy the way i am...
(i really do, so that i can NOT exercise)...
i like cropping photos to make myself feel better...


i dunnoe why the guys like taking pics in a line...
hilarious i tell you...
why cant they have more innovative poses?
at least a more artistic formation ya?
hopeless!


i think this is sweet...
me and my stella mary lioewanta...
we're practically steamed and roast chicken...
not very fun...
especially with my terrible tanline...
EEKS!


#1 of our disaster foods...
burnt dogs...
gosh...
they look really freaky ya?
coz i wasnt at the pit yet...
spent alot of time thereafter ...
coz i wanted to prevent total destruction of all hotdogs, crabmeat sticks, satay and otah...


#2...
thought these looked like eyes...
wahhaha...
damn funny...


PC the Red Indian...
were playing Red Indian Poker...
not sure if it's what it's called...
but putting a card on ur forehead seemed like a red indian thing to do...
point of the game is for the others to 'bluff' or 'help' you...
by telling you whether you should change your card...
and you cant see your card, of course...
unlimited changes...
alot laughter...


stella acting kelian...
far from it lor...
even though i trusted her with all my heart...
she actually betrayed my trust...
and bluffed me...
very sad...
orbi, that she get lousy card...


the girls that stayed most of the evening...
yeejing, stella and myself...
plus our lovely host, PC...
her dad kindly sponsored our evening...
feel bad...
it was great, girl...
thanks for organizing something like that for us...
