So! Last thursday, we went to eat nasi bryani and collect our gowns from school. It was really great seeing the girls again.. Really missed them like hell! Especially when you consider how often we would see each other in school and how we weren't able to meet up for a month because of everyone's busy schedule! Even though Hidayah, Claryce, Jiahui and Huili were sorely missed, we had a great natter, especially when it came to being updated on recent events! heeeheeehee!

Collection of the gowns were surprisingly painless. There were a few vendors there hard selling their products such as plaques (for our certificates) and photoshoots. I remembered that Jie Jie and Dan had a reaallly bad experience with one photo studio and they did mention that they chose the photostudio because the photostudio had been at NUS at the time of gown collection. Now, Jie Jie and Dan are like the sweetest, most forgiving couple that i know of. They are more apt at being amused and letting horrid customer service incidents go so when they got really upset about this photostudio, i knew that this photostudio was reaaaaally bad.

So! If you are really interested in knowing which photostudio this is, it's.... wait for it... Serangoon Studio!!! They do not do touch ups on the photos, Jie Jie and Dan had a really shitty photographer and the person at the counter was very very rude to them when they were dissatisfied with the photos. In fact, the experience was so terrible that when i asked Jie Jie which photo studio it was, she said it with such a look of horror that i had to laugh! So, i've done my part as a friend... Be forewarned!

Okay! time for "how to meaninglessly fritter time away"

How I Met Your Mother has been on my tv radar for quite some time but season 3 is reaally much better. As soon as they put in this one little twist, i was quite simply stunned by the possibility. How could i not have thought about it?? Also, this show is the best in acknowledging that there is such a thing as "awesomeness" and the fact that it keeps on usng the term "awesome" shows you how great the writers are. :D

Just finished watching season 3 of Criminal Minds and i swear, their crimes are getting more horrific. I spend more time hiding behind the huge pillow than watching the crime scenes.
Criminal Minds is about how this FBI team tries to profile criminals (predict the personality of the person who does the crime in each episode). Catch it if you miss CSI (which btw.. las vegas is soo going downhill.)

CSI:NY season 4 made me wanna throw popcorn or something really cheap and unbreakable at the screen everytime one character appears on the screen. Check out The Closer instead.

And last but not least, on a totally unrelated note, ting has asked me to write my crazy rantings about the Sex and the City movie. But because Sherlin has not watched it yet, i'm gonna wait. For now, let's just say that SaTC Movie has become my new Harry Potter Movie. Oh.. Poor Chuhui, Yuanjing and Jiahui know what that means. I had to sit on Jie Jie and tell her my exact opinion of the movie before she bowed down to my awesome supreme power of logic and reasoning and agreed with what i said.

Now, if you excuse me, i'm gonna try to break this cycle of procrastination and figure out a way to write an impressive letter and resume to show all employers in the world what a wonderful employee i'll be. (Like Hello? My pic as "Employee of the Month" would loook waay better than any one of their present employees)

Sigh. I wish we could be as they do in Futurama. A program settles your job and pring! you got the job you are perfect for!

I'm back!!!

First things first...

大家好！我正在上海旅游，玩地很开心。上海真有趣， 有好多事做， 好多东西买（我买的衣服全部是黑还是白！男人也挺帅但我还是比较喜欢汉国男人！哈哈哈！因为我在中国，所以用华语写了这登录！你觉得惊喜吗？如果是的话， 我也不能怪你。好久没有写了一篇华文的文章！


今天来写博客是因为是 Sherlin 的生日！(对不起，不知道怎么写您的华文名)

祝您生日快乐，身体建康，越长越漂亮， 步步高升， 多福多寿! 希望您的 fashionstaples 可以有很好的反应! 知道您正在香港。。等您回来让我们和您一起庆祝！快去快回喔！！ :D

就再祝您生日快乐！



The rough translation:

Hello! Right now, i'm having a lovely time in Shanghai. Shanghai rocks socks off! There are plenty of things to do and buy (Most of the clothes i bought are either black or white.. typical me huh?) Chinese guys are pretty cute too, but i'll still prefer Korean guys! hahaha! Thought that since i'm in China, it would be wholly approriate to blog in Chinese. Are you surprised? I wouldn't blame you if you are. After all, i have not written a Chinese paragraph for ages!

The main reason for my blog post today is because it's Sherlin's Birthday! (Don't really know how to write her chinese name)

So here' wishing Sherlin a Happy Birthday!! May you be healthy and pretty always, climb the ladder of success and live a long life to enjoy loads of prosperity! Here's hoping that Fashion Staples will soon hve a great response! Know that you are celebrating your birthday in Hong Kong so we're waiting for you come back to celebrate it with you.. So hurry back kies? :D

Here's wishing you a Happy Birthday once again! :D

Happy Birthday Neela!

Sorry about the late wishes but my hp ran out of batt and my dad's MSN doesnt work. Hence this loud proclaimation on my blog! ;D

Happy Birthday to the Goddess of Wisdom, and the next Domestic Goddess! May the following year be the best year of your life yet. Learn more at school so that we can all hang out at ur cafe when we are old! :D :D

Firstmost.. Happy Birth Week to Jiahui where ever she might be in Japan! :D

The last week has been pretty crazy, what with all the dumpling wrapping and new furniture arriving (i still can't get over the fact that my mom and i rearranged the hall's furniture thrice). Add doing my dad's errands and trying to cram stuff into an overflowin suitcase.. Suffice to say i needed a bit of escapism... And herein enters the all important role of Korean drama!

"9 end 2 outs" is about the love lives of 30 yr olds. While there have been many raves about it, i was kinda meh on the story development. Ended up fast forwarding thru semi-plots i deemed useless to the main story. Got a bit lost about the writers' objectives (like why is this person coming in now?). Certain parts of the story seemed a bit disjointed. Perhaps it was lost in translation... Gah now i really do wanna learn Korean! Admittedly, during certain bouts of the show, i had unreasonable urges to reach through the screen and slap the female lead on the other end. Either she was really over analysing too much, talking too much or being really whiney/stupid.

But then again! I perserved!

Because "9 end 2 outs" has several redeeming qualities..

Top reasons one should watch 9 End 2 Outs

Daddy's Surprise

Taking a break from making my dad's Father's Day Present to blog about the surprise we threw for him before he went to Shanghai.

Sigh! Because he was so busy in the last few days, the only day we could throw the surprise was on the very day of the planned post-exams BBQ. So it was with a heavy heart that i regretably informed the NUS peeps that i couldnt make it to the BBQ. They were really lovely, being understanding and trying to move the date around. But turns out that they are all very busy people! It was too tough trying to get a date when everyone was free that the BBQ was postponed indefinately. I'm so so sorry about that! Tried to collate all our schedules to see when we can meet up again.. but it will be after 25th June. Shall we make it 5th July (sat)? Please do let me know kies?

So after making the difficult decision, we had to plan everything quickly. We decided that we would pretend tt it would only be my family going out to try a new restaurant but when we get there, the rest of the extended family would be there, hence giving daddy a surprise! :D

Jie Jie was in charge of finding us a new restaurant to try (She's the best person to ask about where to get good food. Every food outlet she brings us to will be guranteed repeated returns!) I had to co-ordinate with the various uncles and aunties about the venue and time. My dad is very very particular about arriving at places early so i had to make sure that everyone would be there before him. Not an easy task if you ask me! On the actual day, Daddy wanted to leave half an hour early!

I went into frantic mode as the rest of the relatives had not arrived at the restaurant! Was sending out SOS smses to all to hurry to the venue! Jie jie called to pretend that the reservation was pushed back, Christine (being the main liasion) was smsing back frantically to report who had arrived, I had to pretend to be doing make up (eliciting a "why you need to put on so much makeup? No one going to be there la!" from an impatient Daddy) ... Luckily, Audrey pretended to be finishing up her maths homework so we could stall Daddy a bit!

Even so, Daddy still managed to get us all out of the house pretty early. -_- lll
The whole way there, we were praying for red lights! lol!

Anyways! we managed to reach later than the rest so Daddy got a huge shock when he saw them there. :D His first reaction was "eh??? who is also here leh!" lol! When he entered, the cousins immediately stood up clapping and cheering for him and the whole restaurant turned to look! lol! No pictures of a surprised daddy though.. cause they were all so engrossed in cheering for him that they completely forgot to get a photo of his shocked look!

We ate at Hooked on Heads (located at Thomson). Jie Jie wanted to eat a chinese restaurant which i was vehemently against as i thought Daddy ought to eat his favourite spicy dishes. Dad's fav dish is fish head curry and yet Mum didn't want to eat at "somewhere non-air con.. hot la" so Jie jie had a pretty difficult time finding one restautant tt fit all our requirements. But being Jie jie.. she did manage to find Hooked on Heads, which met all our expectations (foodwise) and more! :D

They are famous for their Fish Head Curry
and mee siam...
But being us, we went and ordered loads more!
Here's the fish..
