After several eons, my slow-lao-kok-kok laptop has finally finished uploading the pics for xmas. Unbelievably delighted that circle, jjFamily and teamPhilippines/teamDreams met up for xmas. Totally rawked my xmas, really ;D. Thanks peeps for making me happy on xmas. ;)
kays, let me start with jjfamily's annual xmas dinner at shu's. (since i've not gotten bulk of the photos from daxiong yet to post any pictures for circle's xmas bbq. till next time, i guess)
Event: Annual jjFamily Xmas Dinner/Gathering
This year, rebelling from the norm, we had steamboat! (actually the simple reason is cuz everybody else is too lazy to cook) In fact, i prefer steamboat (although i desperately want to cook them my charbeehoon *hahaha*) cuz i feel that it encourages more interaction and bonding.
Decent spread of food huh? We still had 1 whole table of food behind us. Too much food in actual fact but i think the boys managed to finish it up. I was too full and engrossed in peterpan to notice anything.
I so wanna upload the video of andyang's and jinyong's hilarious actings in our charades game but unfortunately, youtube has a size limit and being the IT-idiot that i am, i have totally no idea how to reduce the size of my video.
Other than that, i basically spent my time chasing after andyang to get a picture of his superduper-flabberghasting-mindtwisting-bulging-beer-belly. To my dismay, i failed. But nvm, i will succeed the next time!!
Here comes the cam-whoring-session.
喜 aka happiness

怒 aka anger
哀 aka sorrow/sadness
enchanted!

Next in line is the projectDreamers..
Event: projectDreamers/teamPhilippines Xmas celebration
Date: 26th December 2007
Time: ehhh 5pm? not sure, i was late. *oops-heehee*
Proud Host/Venue: swi's place @ Ivory Heights (yes, again. 2 nights in a row. How i love ivory heights)

This time, its a potluck dinner! so we could start eating as soon as everyone reached. this is definitely good news to our tummies.
btw, i need to tell you all that the chicken baked rice at Bukit Panjang Plaza tastes interesting and its seriously not too bad. In addition, its cheap! Its only $3.50 for each pack. Alan couldnt really tell me the name of the shop, but through his explanations, i thought it might be BBQexpress? Not sure though. Swi's mom's prawn/veggie salad rawks! (yes, i ate the veggie) Oh yes, there's B&J too! My fav ice cream! Really does remind me of those times in yellowstone and USA. Okay stop! All this thinking about food is calling on to my hunger pangs and making me droooooool. *shucks*

of course, what's xmas without a gift exchange? yayys! I got a fondue set for xmas! (great~ how am i gonnna lose weight!?)
*
Netball at JJC always is stressful. Maybe its cuz of Ms choo's prescence. Maybe its cuz of the sch's environment. I dont know. But it sure felt good! shiok ah! Better than playing recreaNetball in NUS. Sure hope that more of these kinds of friendlys could be organised, though i'm pretty sure that i sucked at play just now. Who cares ~ i'm supposed to be nua. errr, okay maybe not. i should start exercising. Looking forward to next week's alumni playouts! kays, i should go for a run everyday in the meantime in hope that i would be able to last longer during next week's playouts. ={
Feeling old. Can't believe its been 4 years since i've graduated from jj. Can't believe so much have changed. Well, i guess this is the way the world works. The Earth never stops spinning, so people should never stay constant too? But i wanna stay as it as! I dont wanna change.. In fact, i wanna go back and stay in the past. *blehh* i just need to whine. *ignoreme* I guess i should start learning the rules of change otherwise there would be inevitable experiences of hurt on my side. Its nobody's fault, maybe. If i have to point a finger, it might just be life. I read from a book, that life is just so mind-whirling. It keeps you on a spiral slide that never ends. I guess i should stop being 18+ and move on...i'll try..

i really have to thank janice and the team of project dreamers for making this trip possible and so meaningful, enjoyable and memorable. And i'm really glad that i decided to join this team though i was alone. Honestly speaking, I didnt have much expectations to begin with before i went for this trip. All i thought of was to spread some joy to the kids there cuz all along i had imagined that they were living in extremely bad conditions and were pitiful souls there. The kids there dont even possess a certificate of birth! But, during this trip, i realised i was that pitiful soul. The people there enjoyed life and were doing things to make themselves happy everyday (at least its what its seems). Every morning, kids will be running all over the place coupled with loads of laughter. While neighbours will congregate with their children and sit around along the road chatting. I feel sorry for Beejay though, this girl whose father ran away, abandoning his wife and daughter. Beejay now stays with one of the neighbour's family alone since her mother had to work thus she only sees her mom once a week. I just hope that she's less sensible so that she wont realise the cold hard truth of her staying with the neighbour alone. btw, she extremely pretty! she looks like a hawaian!! There's one family i know who just gave birth to a few months old baby who took in another couple and their children cuz the latter had no place to stay. FYI, this family's house is miserably small and pathetic. Let's see..what would a typical singaporean respond? "Go stay in hotel lah! i know of cheap cheap hotel. HOtel 81 super cheap! you can stay there!"
I think that its not so much of the inborn nature of singaporeans to be egocentric and to be cold and unfeeling towards others. But its more of being forced into this situation by the setting we are in. Because we're so self-sufficient and self-contented in our own little HDB/Condo unit that we do not see the need or want to get out of our comfort zone to interact with our neighbours. So much for URA and the GOvernment trying all they can to create identity and belongingness to their community. I think one wouldnt even miss as much the days in their old homes/their neighbours should they be able to move house.
Enough of that, I would like to express my utmost admiration for the teachers teaching in Paaralang Pantao. They, who gave their self-less dedication and tireless teachings to the kids and also residents in Erap City and Payatas. I tried asking myself whether i could give up everything to stay in the dumpside area just to provide the kids there with some education. I realised my answer was quite immediate and it was no. /shame on myself. *pui* One major disadvantage is that i do not know tagalog, otherwise i guess i would be able to know more of their thoughts and also allow them to know more of mine. I can still totally remember Michael Anthony, this student of mine, squatting infront of the green bean seeds and tugging my shirt speaking to me in tons and tons of tagalog which i understand none of the sentences. Not to forget his pair of doggy-eyes looking up at me. After a while, i got Cassy to translate a part of lil part of what he said to me. At that point in time when Cassy told me what Michael said, i couldnt control my emotions no more. tears immediately filled my eyes and since my eyes are small, they cant contain those tears. it was quite an embarrassing sight. but anyways, Michael was asking me whether i would leave him once the beans grow up and he asked for more seeds so that the process will be longer. (ok, i'm feeling damn emo-nemo even now. *rahhhs*) this made me realise how shallow, brief and useless this visit of ours really is. I'm feeling quite frustrated with myself now cuz i cant think of what else i could actually do for them. (other than satisfying our own selfish desires *rahhhhs-pui-grrrrrr*)
The kids there really respect the school alot. they cleaned themselves well and wore their best clothes for school. There's an incident whereby i couldnt recognise my student, Ronnie, when he was out of school, after class time. He was in tatters and rags. I totally didnt recognise him until he told me his name. And yes, i was quite embarrassed at myself. So i'm really glad that Teacher Baby's mom set up Paaralang Pantao. Its a really great cost and sacrifice but also quite a reward i guess. Again, i need to emphasise. I really have to take my hat off to her and the self-less teachers in Paaralang Pantao. We seem so small beside them. During the trip, i kept asking myself. What do i intend to give? What have i done? I realised i have done nothing. Nothing worth mentioning, in my opinion. In actual fact, i seriously reckon that i took alot more than i gave. They taught me that happiness and laughter could be so damn easy. They taught me that love lingers in the air. They made me feel so loved and i totally didnt feel a tinge of loneliness at all even though i was indeed a stranger in a strange land. strangely beautiful land. ;)

*hahahha* ermss we were trying to do some cool model poses, but errrrr..... forget it haha
ah yuuuuuu*went to ALps Cafe to celeb ser's bdae.
its a pretty nice chill-out place. nice light, nice and comfy chairs, nice music and its not too crowded. they even have a section which is a literally a chilling place for peeps to chill. i forgot how cold it is already. 10 degrees? cant remember. Oh yah! the main course is not bad too. ser tried the Lamb Shack and it's pretty good.
han ordered the beef steak. hmmm the taste is not too bad. but the steak is almost un-chewable. i had to resort to swallowing the whole piece -_-"

well, for me, i had the cheese fries. and its r e a l l y GOOOD!!! ;D the cheese reminds me of the cheesesticks at Brewerkz, which btw is damn d e l i c i o u s tooooo!! yayyyyss! i so love good food! ;))))
cam-whoring starts*
okay, my camera skills sucks! =X




the bus we were on broke down suddenly. well, the bus didnt exactly break down. according to han, the bus driver noticed smoke coming out from the hind of the bus hence he decided to stop in case the bus caught fire halfway or something. luckily it wasnt the last bus.

here's han with her complimentary ticket stuck in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.

the bdae girl
Happy 22nd Ser*

#1.
girl went into a shop and saw a pretty shoe.
girl: "wow~ nice shoe. i think i should try it on!"
Therefore girl went on to try that shoe on. Just when she was happily trying the shoe on.....
#2.
After that embarrassing incident, the girl fled out of the shop and went into another shop.
Fascinated by the cute rubic cube, she went closer to meddle with it. Suddenly, she noticed a NETS machine beside the rubic cube.
girl: "i like this too! (referring to the NETS machine beside the rubic cube) How much is it?"
girl's friend, who's totally embarrassed by her and trying hard to contain her laughter at the same time, distanced herself away from girl at the fastest speed she could muster.

so who do you think this girl is?
*
who said only mothers could breast feed? now the guys should take over some of the responsibilities.
i should have got this for my ashleyyy since he's always rolling and sliding around on the floor when he was much younger. *hoho* damn cute luh!Friday, November 30, 2007

and on my way up the stairs and back home, i just had to bump into this, do i? i really do sympathize with the new family who've moved into that unit. The sotong loansharks actually splashed paint on their door. First, the sotong loansharks made a mistake and splashed paint on the 2nd floor unit (i guess they arent so literate after all. how could they have made such a dumb mistake? at the very least, some street-smartness should have existed. *shakeshead* 2nd floor: you climb 2 flights of stairs. 3rd floor: you climb 3 flights of stairs! *grrrrr*) In my opinion, the 2nd floor unit family really darn suey. they had a whole pool of bloody red paint splashed all over their door and floor and whatever have you. *poor thing* Then now, the sotong loansharks splashed (a significantly lesser amount of) paint on the new family's door (guess they're on a budget these days).
And you know what, the worst thing is, the police could do nothing about it. either that, or they just couldnt be bothered to do anything about it. after numerous times of repainting the walls, the scribblings kept coming back. bigger and bigger with each time, as if showing off to us that their arrogant self could no longer be contained within their miserable sotong bodies and that even the police could do nothing to them. Well for a start, you sotongs should at least pick on the correct person for your debt collection demonstration. *grrr* thinking about it, maybe the sotongs dont even know that that family had already moved. Hmmm, maybe i should scribble the note on the wall for the loansharks then.
btw, i have an evil thought *hiaks* In the past, its always shown on the television shows that loansharks usually hang a pig's head in front of the door of borrower. Well, i was discussing this issue with my sis the other time and i thought, since pig's head is not exactly cheap these days, and that the loanshark business obviously dont roll in as much cash as they used to, (although i have no idea how lucrative this exotic business really is) the loansharks could actually opt for a much cheaper resort. which is to hang rat's head! brilliant huh? there're rats all over the place. free somemore. okay i'm sick *crap* hahahaha just so long that they dont scatter cockroaches, i'd be fine. err i guess. =X
Anyhows, i sure hope that i would catch these loansharks red-handed cuz those scribblings and paint-splashing are really bothering my mom which leads her to complain non-stop about moving house. Me and my sis came up with a conclusion. we believe that the scribblers (and so does the paint-splashers) start their operation at maybe 1 or 2 hrs before dawn. why? you may ask. Well cuz the night before the scribblers had their work of art on the walls on the stairways, both my sis and i had returned home pretty late (i guess i reached home around 3am. while she only came home around 4.30am) and we did not notice any artwork on the walls yet. However, early next day, when i left home e a r l y to mug in school, the scribbles are there, smiling haughtily down at me, though i'm not really affected 0_0. yeah so, we had discussed to either stay up late til that time/wake up real early (which isnt really possible for us, ermms) in an attempt to catch the loansharks red-handed. probably take a picture of their faces or something so that the police could have the hard evidence they had claimed was non-existent. But, there always a but, we failed time and again. =X we're just sleeping beauties after all *hoho* we seriously could not live without our daily dose of beauty sleep. *haiiiii*
p/s. i caught the lizard who stole my shoes. And its none other than ... ..... .......... ....... my dad.
p/s/s. i've got no life *ohcrap* everyone is my family is not home yet! okay, my sis just came home but she's going for 2nd round. *blahhhhh*
p/s/s/s. i want BeneTint! *boooo* (okay, forget about benetint, i want MP3 player! *rahhhs* i need to work!)
p/s/s/s/s. i hate to admit how weak i am, but my arm still hurts and aches from the jab *boooobooooboooooooooo*

Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself:Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
some parts are quite accurate! try it :)
