Christmas gathering with jie jies

Long time since the 5 of us met! Haha.. it hasnt been easy to coordinate a timing for all of us. Thanks sihui jie jie. Ivy has been craving for Azabu Sabu. So we headed there. However, is realli hard to control moi ice- cream cravings. The desserts just looks too tempting! And all i could do is look at them and drool... Hmph....









Sihui jie jie is considerate and thoughtful to the extreme that it is funny. She went to phuket some time ago with her bf. So she bought some goodies for us. However, she was in a rush to come out of the house so she has no time to pack the goodies for each and individual of us. Guess wat she did? She bought those plastic disposable containers along and wanted us to da bao on the spot! Haha... we couldn't help but laugh and laugh. Of course, poor sihui is pouting!



EE Christmas Party @ Regina's House

Besides Regina and Louis, their comfy house is also the home for their 3 fat cats - Ah Boom, Ben & Jerry (aka the ice- cream bros). Other den Jerry who is too shy and keeps hiding under the bed, the other 2 cats are rather active! They are so cute and it is fun playing with them!!!

Artistic shot of Ben


Ah Boom and mi


Ben again...


Luckily, i was not the latest to reach. Cos the forfeit is to drink shot of xiao mi jiu! My god!!! Damn potent and they added pepper inside as well. Poor Felicia...







Definitely at a christmas party, there is lotsa food, drinks and games!!! We played taboo and drinking games! hee...



tabooing


haiz... we the losers...


Punishment is 2 champagne each


The drinking game - red and white wine + vodka shots


We also luv to take fotos!











the sleeping beauty


Of course, we have the christmas exchange! There is punishment for the worst wrapped present and worst present. Mark who is supposed to buy a present for mi and whom didnt get it in time kanna the worst present. The punishment is to drink stout with soy sauce and teriyaki sauce! Yucks.








Poor sumin which didnt guess correctly who gave her pressie has to drink yucky stout as well!

And we have a christmas log cake to end the party!!!

It's a great night!

Hari Raya Eve

The season of luv is round the corner. And it's the time of the year of giving. We were thrilled when we saw a whole tower of colourful macaroons. It's so beautiful and yummy! Thanks jasmine...

Strawberry, Raspberry, Yam, Coffee, Pistachio and Chocolate
Yesh!!! The KTV cum buffet dinner that all the MTs are lookin forward to is finalli here!!! Haha... the food is decent although not fantastic. We totally enjoyed ourselves with singing, fooling around and just being stupid! Hee... High High High... Seriously i needed more singing as i was still coughing so the KTV session was not shiok enu!








Haha... yes we did sing with the banana that was initially cuili's breakfast.







Whoosh!


alternate
colours!

The KTV ended so fast at 1030pm. All of us felt that we had not have enu of time. Haiz.. how i wish time can pass slower. So a bunch of us decided to head to Zouk since the night is still young. (It was a terrible mistake!!!) When we have reached there, we were shocked that the queue was freaking long! If not for our's friend VIP pass to bypass the queue, we will need to queue for 1 hr!!! And as wed night is PH eve, we need to pay $20 for admission. The next off thing is that the baggage counter is full! In the end, we had to carry our bags the whole night. The dance floor of the Zouk is like packed sardines. I am glad that i am at the member's corner where it is slightly more spacious. However, we cant redeem our free drinks there. So in the end, we end up paying for our drinks.







A short stay in Zouk. And i nearly fell when i try to maneuver moi way out. Bleahz.... Morale of the story - NEVER attempt zouk on PH eve!!!

We do get a little tired.. maybe 1 onli...


Sadly, the rest of the MTs didnt join in the fun except for sihui babe! She is helping out at the booth. But poor sihui suddenly had migraine and headed home. Haiz.. so in the end, i didnt get to party with her. Luckily, we did manage to take some fotos!



Of course, who can beat sihui in being sultry!



Erm... tt a hell lotsa difference



There were around 4 tents in ZoukOut with DJ playin different sorts of music like - Trance, hip-hop, mambo.... The partying mood is in the air and u just feel like moving your body, shaking ur bom bom and dance the night away.

TGIF - Sakae Sushi, Big O and Arts House

After a wk of work, i definitely nid to unwind! We shall kick off the great wkend ahead with a healthy dinner @ sakae sushi. Erm... maybe healthy applies to florence baby onli as she touches none of the fried food we ordered. Poor shu en who was stuck in the office join us onli at 7plus.

zen look mei yan

florence baby and mi

Next, dessert @ Big O. I ate there before and the main courses were not fantastic for the price they were quoted. However, the dessert are value for money! I luv the Spike D which is a domed- shaped chocolate covered durian cake. Quoted from anthony "With five bucks, u can be in heaven!"

The Dark Side

Spike D

Playful shuen and meiyan


Aftermath, we went to support anthony's friend who was having a launch of his new book @ Arts House. Maybe as the next day is Zouk Out, the place seems to be rather quiet.




Forecasting a financial crisis, Meiyan and i decided to take a nightrider home instead. It was not a wise decision as we took almost 1 hour to locate the bus stop. The bus was freaking cold and by the time i reached home, it was close to 3am. Argh... tired....

Standard Chartered Marathon 2007

It seems like yesterday when ivy jie jie and mi were anxiously and eagerly waiting for the race to commence. The excitedness in mi had decreased a little, given the fact that I was trying to contain moi cough. Nevertheless, I hoped to finish this half marathon by hook or by crook. (My feelings at the start line) The long and strenuous journey started promptly at 630am. Joggers including mi stretch out and take on their first stride of the 21km run.


This yr - i am 23748



The 21km route


0 – 5km – Proceeding normally
6km – Starting to lose sight of ivy jie jie
8km – The super irritating mucus kept rolling down moi nose. I looked to moi left and saw the medic team. “Maybe, I shld just walk over and say tt I am sick which earns mi a free ride back to the finish line, by an ambulance of course!”
9km-12km – Managed to gotten rid of the evil twin inside mi
13km – Commencement of Walkathon
14km -17km – The never ending Nicoll Highway
18km – 20km – Finish Line is so near yet so far
21km – Finalli made it back without a scratch

Spot mi @ the finish line



Overall, the half marathon tis yr was better!!! Haha… becos both ivy jie jie and mi improved our timings! My timing is not fantastic la, but i tried moi best! hee...




So how fast did i run?




How do i Fare?

Of the 7394 who finished, 30% were female and 70% were male.
For the record, i am ahead of about 38% of male finishers.



Till now, i still dunno wat does division means. Maybe is females in the same age grp as mi?


The medal


Dear ivy jie jie and mi after the run! Enjoyin the adrenaline rush!!!

Post Bday Celebration for Xiaobai

After ruling out Azabu Sabu becos I was too lazy to go town, Ajisen Ramen as mushroom feels there is not much variety, we decided to have the celebration at Café Cartel, IMM. Xiaobai and I are usually busy with our own activities tt we seldom eat out as a family. Hence, mushroom is very happy yesterday. The meal is super filling to the extent tt mushroom and papa says tt the sight of prok ribs scares them now!

Happie mushroom and papa



Pan - Fried linguini



Sirlion steak which is too hard



Spastic xiaobai


Spastic xiaobai again



The spastic sisters



A year older le… I just hope xiaobai can…

1. Study hard - She always blame the difficult papers, teacher, poor memory, mental block… blah blah blah when she fails exam
2. Punctuality - She never fails to make mi wait
3. Cleanliness - Her room looks like a pig sty now.
4. Sleep early - Becos I cannot sleep with the glaring lights on
5. Stop hard sniffing the poor mimi whose nose is getting blacker by the day
6. Be less irritating and asking mi stupid questions.
7. Save More - Although I luv to leech on her purchases.
8. Talk less on the phone - She is like a call operator of the house 24/7
9. Less spastic
10. Be nicer to her dear sister which is ME!!!

Lastly.... HapPie Birthday Xiaobai!!! Muacks!!!


it's 10:49 PM now



Achness and Tireness aside, the half marathon has been great!!!

Shu En's Bday!!!

It's the mischievious ger - shu en babe birthday! On this special day, a naughty plan was in lined for the birthday ger. The venue of the celebration is a mystery was shu en was supposed to get using clues given to her along the way.

First Clue ( a note pasted on the cargo lobby):
Walk to the mall with a sun
Ans: The Forum

2nd Clue ( via sms):
Walk towards the chinese pagoda
Ans: Tangs

3rd Clue (via sms):
Proceed to the big yellow and red balloon
Ans: DHL Balloon at Bugis Junction

4th Clue (via sms):
I forget wat it was but it will lead her to....

Blu Jaz Cafe



When shu en arrived, all of us were already seated anxiously awaiting her arrival. Poor shu en as she had to walk all the distance carrying sihui's lappie. Nvm rite~ i bet u had a surprise!



The atmosphere of Blu Jaz Cafe was rather good especially with the live music which starts at 930pm. Even though we were seated outside, it was rather cooling. The onli exception was tt we had the constant fear of a big rain as the sky looked threatening. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Moi chicken chop is tender except that it is too greasy. The potato wedges are fantastic! Yummy...Definitely a nice place to chill out but the place is understaffed. I will recommend a reservation as the place seems to be a favourite.

Grilled chicken with spicy sauce


Now for the cake cuttin session....





shu en luv the new bag!




The celebration ended with a high note! We finalli decided the theme for our DnD!!! Haha.. for now i shall keep it a secret!


it's 3:32 PM now



It has been confirmed.
I am no longer the mugger i used to be.
Days and hours of preparations,
cannot compensate for the amt of deterioration of moi brain.
I wonder wat has happen to the old mi?
The one who used to be able to score and pass exams with a breeze.
Maybe, i shld just get used to the new mi,
the brainless mi.
