Animal Zoooooooooo



Mandai Zoo is a fun place to be at, and all of us were so excited! Until the nah beh stupid rain poured cold water on us. (Gosh, what kind of broken translation is that) Hahaha.



All the girls together. The hat's cool :D


The sun was too bright that it censored Esmonde's and Huiyu's face.

I pulled Weijie to tag along with us, so that he could take pictures with his second baby.
Had McGriddles breakfast shared with Weijie at macdonalds, and when Huiyu and Chye Aik finally arrived after he bombed the toilet at Queenstown, we went to take the bus at the interchange. It didn't take long till we arrived. Charles was still as crappy. He was telling us the incident between his uncle and the Orang Utan. His uncle litted a cigarette and threw it at the Orang Utan. The Orang Utan thought that the cigarette was food and put it into his mouth. What was unbelievable was that the Orang Utan actually pointed middle finger at the uncle. Waliao, crazy one lah. But people like Charles, I sure believe one lo. Hahaha.



The sea otters ultra cute right! But they stink because of their odour.

And I think this is the season for mating man. We caught a pair of baboons red-handed tooting. Damn gross lah, we saw the primate taking his that thing out of the female's, and then the female was like rubbing her butt or something. Then there was another pair whereby the male baboon tried to stuff his dick into a female but she ran away. So barbaric, doing it in front of so many toddler spectators lah. Then we also saw a pair of tortoises mating. And it was doing a very slow-mo but jerky in-and-out movement. Goodness.


Weijie snapped this picture when there was a huge fight amongst the baboons. Scary.


The baby monkey's so cute right! Just ignore the reflection yea.

I saw many friends at the Zoo, like Amanda (bird), Johnathan (Lama), Shahrul (WartHog), Esmonde's relatives (Baboon). Sadly, we only covered half of the Zoo thanks to the everlasting rain. We had KFC for lunch, and decided to leave only hours later because of the prolongued downpour. Fret not! We are going to the Zoo together again soon after Huiyu gets the corporate passes. Yay!


Hi Amanda!

Weijie and I took a bus to Central to chill out, and ended up taking pictures of the people, the festival works, the Japanese doing up the lanterns for the festival, sunset, etc.
Because of a Battery Grip, it lead both of us into a quarrel, and we went different ways. Annoyingly, we got back again together, but I continued to give him a blackface because I wasn't even happy throughout. I didn't even get to meet Gary they all! Anyway to Gary, sorry for making your bill rocket high because of my initial indecisiveness, but I'll come by the next time yea?


We only adjusted the brightness, not photoshopped! Nice right, like a gleam of light.


Japanese Lantern Festival.

teapot is LOVE.


It looks like a cupcake doesn't it!

I FINALLY GOT MY DAMN CHIO AND ADORABLE TEAPOT FROM LIVING ARTS! Yayyyyyy. I'm so happy.
Two-piece teapot set which comes with the fitting mug below to keep the tea in the teapot warm.


Pretty ain't it?

Here I go, "I'm a little teapot short and stout!" Hahahaha. I'm just so in love with this teapot! It's like a classic piece.

Thursday, August 28, 2008 ;



Met up with Gary, Shihao, Xiangyun and another three kids to go for our OBS check-up. Wheeee. should I be excited or what, it's gonna be my third Outward Bound Singapore trip. But this time, there's a special programme included, which is SAILING! Cool beans!

Gary woke up late, and some more at the time he was supposed to meet us at AMK Hub. Damn pro lah, still had the cheek to message us the night before asking us if we could shift the time 30minutes before the arranged time. Shihao, myself and the three kids went ahead to the kopitiam to eat first, and to my discovery, I finally found the dry Beef Noodles that was originally sold at Scott Road. Double Wheeee! I was like totally thrilled to see the stall, and ordered a bowl to "check" on the taste. Yummy, original still.
Gary came together with Xiangyun, and that uncle late already still dare to order chicken rice. Nehmind, I forgive him lah. Old already, if don't eat will die one. Hee hee.

We headed down to the Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic, and when we were in queue for the waiting number, the lady that we approached damn cute lah. She told us that doing a medical check-up requires us to have a parent or guardian along side with us. Then Gary asked 18 and 21 years old need parent, she said yes. Then he jokingly asked what about a 30 year old bringing a parent along, she also said yes! HUH. So old already still need parent's consent one ah. But the lady asked us to go to the second level and lie to the department that Gary is our guardian, so that we can carry out the check-up. When we entered the lift, Gary told us that lucky the lady asked if he was the elder brother and we were his younger brothers and sisters, and not asking if he was our father, if not he will whack her already. Then damn power, the nurse told us that it was not possible for all 6 of us to do the check-up together on the same day, so we gave way to the 3 kids to do the check-up, while we will do ours some other time. Before we left the place, Gary, Xiangyun and I took a free cup of Cafe Mocha each to compensate our wasted trip there.

We walked back to AMK Hub, and Xiangyun and I went on trying clothes at this shop called Top20. The two guys thought it'd be boring to stick to us, and they actually thought we were crazy to try out so many clothings. We were attracted to the place because we thought all the clothes were selling at 10dollars because of the hanging posters. Then we looked closer, and their terms and conditions used those really small and fat font which required us to squint reading the words. OH, 10dollars OFF if we purchase 3 items. Cheay. But there were quite alot of nice clothes, so we picked like about 10 different pieces and went to the same fitting room to try them out. Then of course, we cam-whored with the nice pieces lah. Hahaha. G-I-R-L-S. We were complaining how big our calves are, but we will exercise to lose wherever and whatever fat there is on our body.
Weijie soon came to fetch me, and Xiangyun went to find the guys to hang out and kill time.

Mix and Splash camp

Just came back from Mix and Splash camp, and I am exhausted to the MAX! I'm really lazy to post on the camp, but it was fun alright! Just that the time drag here and there, freshies complain long and boring. But then the games were very fun to me.

With the Main Committee so happening and hilarious, since when was BE Society boring? Hahaha. The Student Leaders so sporting and fun, of course the Freshies will come up with such cool and funky performances lah. Aiyah, if you don't know, means you don't know one lah.

We were in school since Sunday, which was the preparation and buying of last minute items. Benson and I made this lifesize dummy, which was like duper cool, with no real boobs or dick. Okay lah, most of the credit go to him, I only help him crush newspaper and tape. Hahaha. The modelling out of the whole figure was done by him. Banglahs are better at this kind of thing lah, cannot win him. And that chicken Banglah call me Ba Zhang (rice dumpling) because he claims I look like one. At least people love me and 'clones' me, not like him, people shun him away, smelly dirty ugly scary pervertic stupid retarded disgusting etc. can file a whole list of words to describe him. Nevermind lah, I WILL LOSE WEIGHT. We hardly had a wink, and still could stay up to eat Macdonald's breakfast at 5am.

Monday came and it was D Day! SLs and Freshies strolling in for their briefing, and then the games. Down to the dirty games, muahahahaha. For the lucky ones, they end up getting unhurt or less dirty. For the unlucky ones, would be like me. Dirt muddy all over, not forgetting my cat scratches.I got myself into more dirt trouble by disturbing Benson, ending myself up in the pool of mud.
I came back home with leg injuries that looked like a severe cat scratches, that I don't remember complaining about, except telling people how jia lat mine is compared to theirs. It's like so ugly lah, thanks to Mr Justin and Mr Guo An for throwing me down the Butter Hill. Thanks ah, I like so want to shuff mud into your mouths. Hahaha. I guess Mr Theng had the taste of it already.

The night walk was okay, but lots of people complained about the time taken in between and also the night walk being not scary at all. Of course lah, we purposely made it less scary so that no one will cry lah, (except for one, you know yourself lah) and also some people so superstitious about the 7th Month Hungry Ghost Festival. We tone down one okay, not finding excuses. Hahaha.

The following Tuesday was supposed to be the most shiong day out of the whole camp, but somehow this year freshies like very strong ah, say no kick. LOL. It was Sentosa's Amazing Race! We improvised on many games, which I'm still glad that we didn't have the "follow-the-leader" game. If not everyone will be complaining dumb and boring. I did two different stations, one with Benson and the other with Xiangyun. Played Volleyball in the morning with the seniors, and now I know I really suck at it.


By the time we reached back in school, it was night time already, and it was time for the night performance! Wheeee. I had a great time laughing at the Student Leaders and Freshies, at what they had choreographed for us to see. I was really tired at first, but after watching them, I was laughing non-stop which kept me wide awake.

After deliberating the scores, and everyone else had gone back to their bunks to rest, the Main Committee stayed up to debrief, and improvise again for the next day's game. We confirm chop that we must make sure that everything goes in order, and to reduce waiting time and all. We had a trial play of dodge ball in the night, and it was damn fun and funny I swear. But the stupid guys kept mocking at how I play, and Junxian even gave me yellow card and red card.

The last day of Mix and Splash camp, we had the dodge ball game arranged for them at the Basketball court next to the field. However, halfway through the tournament, it started pouring. Good thing we had the SLs to help us delay time a little longer, so that we could find a plan B to carry out the game. We had it below the Spectator stand, and used musking tape to draw the barrier lines. We started the game going again, and this time, we know it's finally a success.
There was prize-giving, and group photo-taking. And finally after long tiring 4 days, it was the time for break camp.

nicknames

This is hilarious. At least I think it is.

Initially, Jon changed his MSN nickname to this, for some reason he wanted to do so.
"E-lis arouse weijie, E-lis arouse Subra, E-lis arouse Bangalas, E-lis arouse LaiTaiLai, E-lis arouse Amanda =x" says JON

So to be at equal loggerheads, I changed my nickname to this.
Jon only arouses BANGLAHS like benson.
Benson started talking to me after that trying to tell me how handsome he is.

Amanda saw both our nicknames, and changed her nickname to this.
AMANDA e-lis n jon, pls swap back ur nicks so that i can stop typing in the wrong convers.

giraffe opposite istana.




I had my first drinking session after turning legally 18!

Initially, we were choosing whether to go Double-O club or a pub, and we decided on Madam Wong pub. However, Geraldina the "organizer" suddenly wasn't able to make it because something cropped up on her side. Shuling didn't meet us, so it was left with Fional, Johnathan, Amanda, Huiqi and I.



We went to have dinner at Nihon Mura, so yummy! I finally tried my Shabu shabu beef! (Sorry Weijie, I just couldn't wait to try it) It was goooood, but expensive for just a few thin slices beef.



This octopus stick is damn good I swear.


Say Hi to Amanda the greedy pig.


Later on, we just walked around the Plaza Singapura area. And like the typical us, we found a spot and started cam-whoring! Wheeee. We were such a noisy and crazy bunch man! Huiqi had to go home early, so she headed home first. Whilst the rest of us, decided to chill out and have some beer before we go back. Just to find a place, we walked rounds and across the tunnels a few times.










In the end, we decided on going to Giraffe opposite the Istana. (I bet anyone would think of an animal literally out there in town.) We initially thought would be very expensive because of its appearance, but when we looked at the menu, it was quite okay! So we chose the sofa in the open air concept which we thought was really cool. Ordered 4 Carlsberg bottles (because there was no Heneiken), distilled water and Nachoes with CHEESE. The Nachoes tasted fantabulous! But I hated the beer. It leaves a stench and it's not sweet, too much soda gas. Oh well, will stick to Cocktail or Mocktail in future, or maybe try out the Irish beer that Weijie claims is nice.

macaron love!

My life is fucking sad.
Getting envious at other peoples' life ain't gonna change my life. I should learn to stop comparing like that.


The opening ceremony for the Olympics was Awesome! Except the part where all the countries came out onto the field, it took sooooo long till Singapore came out. I wish I was there at the stadium!

It's Singapore's 43rd Birthday, YAY! But it's not like I'm celebrating or anything.
But instead to give ourselves a treat, Weijie and I bought a box of Macarons at the newly opened Chocolate Patisserie, Canele, at Shaw Centre! It's SOOOOO expensive for just 6 pieces I tell you, I can buy like 8packets of chicken rice. But it's gooood.


Rose, Rasberry, Coffee, Lemon, Salty caramel, Pistachio.


The packaging's really nice and sweet though!


Classic picture.

hair model


My hair is NO LONGER A VIRGIN.


Hahaha, did I shock you with the big and bold words?


I finally had my hair dyed for the first time, at the Loreal Academie. We were all actually gonna be MODELS, for the very first time. There was Amanda, Fiona, Jon and I, but Jon only came for the second day. This whole thing was introduced to my stylo milo friend, Geraldina. Hahahaha. SO COOL LOR! I was totally fascinated by everything in the place, and the whole idea of us being models.


DAY 1:



We had to go down to the Academie at One Neil Road, but we had no idea how to get there. I was slightly late, but decided not to risk being late for this sort of thing, so I took a cab down, and picked Fiona up halfway at Chinatown Point. It cost me around 17bucks for about a 15-20 minute trip, sheesh! Amanda somehow managed to find her way, and hey! She's not so dumb at directions after all! We went up to the Academie and Eddie introduced himself, together with Kate, to do up our hair. We initially thought Kate was very unfriendly, but in fact, she's actually very very nice! The first day was supposed to be the preparation day, whereby they will dye or highlight our hair, for the Seminar on the second day. There was a breakfast buffet, so we went to take some food. As we took the food, we spotted goodie bags. We did something that we should be discreet about. Heehee.





Hairstylists preparing "wigs" for the seminar.



Our crazy aluminium hair, and my first time!



We so cute and small right! HAHAHAA.




I was told that my hair would have blonde highlights, and I might have to go back looking abit like an Ah Lian, good thing I brought my cap out! Amanda had her hair highlighted with brown streaks, and Fiona with dark brown streaks. While waiting for our turn to wash our hair, all of us were doing last minute mugging, because Amanda and I had paper in the late afternoon! When my hair was washed and let down, Amanda and Fiona was shocked. But when it was being blown dry and combed, it actually looked quite nice! Something new, a very different style for me! It looked weird for awhile, but the longer we look at it, it's actually quite nice. Hahaha. After we were done for the day, Fiona went to meet her friend, whilst Amanda and I dragged our feet back to school, to take the stupid paper. Friends had both positive and negative comments about my hair. There were more positive remarks, because they found it cool. Hahaha. But really what, while you are young, you should try every kind of style, why be so boring?
At least I'm willing to experiment, not like some people who are so stagnant, and have fucking alot of stupid comments about others, when they don't even look at themselves before they talk.


End of preparation! Can't really see the colours in our hair.

Look at the toilet signs!

After the paper, I went to Island Creamery with Weijie, Amanda, and Jon, to cheer the fatty up. Hahaha. Weijie really liked my current hairstyle at that point of time, and kept asking me to runaway on the second day so I could keep the same hairstyle. Damn cute lah he, still say willing to pay for me to go and highlight my hair. You said it already!


My highlighted hair!



DAY 2:

I woke up damn on time, but Daddy had problems doing things on his own, because he has been experiencing great pain. So I had to help him with simple chores, before I went off. So I was slightly late again. I got on the train, and got off Tanjong Pagar instead of Outram Park. I initially thought I was lost, but managed to find my way with some directions from a guy playing PSP as he walked. I actually reached the doorstep of the Academie right to the dot on time, I was even faster than Jon and Fiona! Amanda was going to be late, but she soon came.



We went to the room where the class was going to be held, and bye bye to my highlighted hair. Eddie clipped all our hairs, and we looked hilarious! Amanda looked the most retarded, couldn't stop laughing at her. The class was being filled in with I suppose Hairdressers, and the class soon started. They talked about the Matrix products they were going to use on our hair, and I was the first to go up. Eddie was going to dye my hair Jet Black Violet, like under the sunlight my hair would have a reflective purple colour, otherwise it would look like just shiny black. Before he dyed my hair, he asked the audience to come and TOUCH my hair. Eddie thinks he's damn funny lor, he said, "Only can touch the hair, cannot touch below." It felt damn weird, when everyone suddenly crowds around me, and starts to touch my hair. I could hear my three friends giggling at the side. They also had their fair share lah. After Eddie used the Dye, he asked everyone to come forward to SMELL my hair. Waliao, this is even weirder man, people were sniffing my head, like as if I was a dish of food. After me was Fiona, then Jon, and lastly Amanda. After my time was up, Kate brought me to wash my hair. She washes your hair like as if you are in a Spa, very shiok one! I had a little chat with her, and she's seriously very nice. I was the first to be done, and this time, Eddie asked everyone to look at my hair. People came forward and started tugging and pulling my hair, to try and see if there was a reflective purple under the light. Yes it did. Then there were people trying to take PICTURES of my head. HAHAHA. It really tickles my funny bone.



Fiona's hair so cool right. Amanda's was even nicer but didn't get to take a picture of it.

There was a lunch buffet this time, for another seminar for Kerastase Paris, and when we went over to Kope the food, the people there were very well-dressed and the place was grander and classier than the room we were in. Food wasn't that great, and we had already planned to eat Dim Sum Buffet. Hahaha. Before we went off, we took some Lipton Tea and Coffee packets as door gifts, and we had an additional goodie bag which consisted of Shampoo for our newly coloured hair. Hee hee.

The wide-spread of buffet lunch.



Aftermath again!


A picture with Kate and Eddie!

The four of us walked over to Chinatown, and I discovered that Chinatown has a great resemblance to Stanley Street in Hong Kong! Amanda, Fiona and I had been trying to find the geeky spectacles that are the in-thing now, and we were so bent on finding it! Weijie came down to meet me, so I went to find him whilst the rest went to China Square or wherever that place was. We met back at China Square, where the three of us girls bought for ourselves really cute and cheap Hair rubberbands. It was time for some Dim Sum because it was already time. As we walked back through the stalls, we spotted a shop with many sunshades. And Ta-dah! We found three geeky spectacles, just nice for the three of us. So happy man, we kept wearing it for the whole entire day.


The bunch of nerds.


We entered Tian Jin restaurant at Pagoda Street (Just outside Chinatown MRT), and it was dim sum feasting time with my Buffet gang.Hahahaha. "Happy happy dim sum steaming in a pot!" We ordered from the wide range of variety, and most of it was Prawns, where we ate until we grew sick of it. However, the Mango Prawn was ultra nice. It was so worth our 17bucks per pax man. After the buffet, we all went our seperate ways, and Weijie and I took a bus down to VivoCity.


Look at the variety of food!

Our mantou creation.
