Awesome Gift! :)

I've gotten an awesome pre-NS gift from Abigail & Meryl and I really really love it. :D

Like I told them, it's the best gift I've ever gotten from any best friend. Their effort and time put in to get all the pictures printed, get everyone's comments in, get all the Bible verses written out and all the hefty artsy work really touches me :D

Haha. So really a big thank you ABI & MERYL :) These are two pictures of the 1st two pages of the photo album :)



The one comment that stood out in stark contrast to others was Anthony's comment "Mercilessly Meticulous" HAHA!

He said I am meticulous was because I emailed them alot of stuff regarding the youth anni preparation - more than what Anthony & Andrina emailed. Haha.

Upon further thought, Anthony said he would use the word "Skeptical" to describe me more than meticulous. HAHA! LOLS.

There's dear xiao hua with his ticklish comment "sexy brows" which Cheryl kept harping on. Haha! I'll try to do something about my eyebrows :D HAHA!

Anyway, thanks everyone for your input and thanks again Abigail & Meryl for your heartwarming gift :) I'm glad to have friends like you guys :D

Monday & Tuesday with a Swiss :D HAHA.

Regina & I went for Swensen's dessert buffet on Monday! haha. We had a one for one dessert buffet voucher so we decided to go :D

Swensen's in ION Orchard is the only Swensen's restaurant with dessert buffet cos it's the biggest outlet.


ICE CREAM! :D

On the right is the white fondue with Marshmellow! :D

My dessert concoction. Haha.

Tuesday we decided to go to the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibition :D However, upon arrival, we discovered that the PAP with their release of the book "Men In White" have forcibly took over the exhibition of the Dead Sea Scrolls and made the place into a private event!

Xiu Hua called the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) exhibition counter the night before and they told us that we could come anytime. However, on that day itself, they were taken over by that political exhibition. Either I'm informed wrongly by the DSS staff or I'm right about their last minute booking of the place. Haha.

Regina & Xiu Hua :D

After realising our wasted trip down, we decided to go Central Mall in Clarke Quay for dinner :D The marketplace area had a real nice dinner place with free flow drinks and affordable food in a super nice setting :D

Arnold & Regina :D

Xiu Hua & Me :)

Calvin, Xiuhua & Myself :D

Me with my japanese spread :D

After that, I proceed to Daryl's place to meet up with Cai Jie for our follow up :)

I'm pretty disappointed we didn't get to see the Dead Sea Scrolls but O well, I think we'll drop by again tml :D

Weekend with Daryl :)

Last weekend I spent my saturday and sunday with one of my few besties - Daryl :) Scheduled was me staying over at Daryl's place & gg family day together :D

I was to meet him on Saturday night for dinner when he suggested watching "Dance Flick" with Joel :D So we went :)

For those reading this, DON'T WATCH "DANCE FLICK" it's a 1 hour 5 minute show (excluding the credits) that's QUITE funny, NOT VERY funny. So do download it. Don't waste $10 like I did!! HAHA!

We then headed to Suntec for dinner and we had a nice 30min++ small talk at the sky garden :)


Me & Daryl in the sky garden :)

The water feature was originally in operation with water gushing out between the rocks. We chatted till the water stopped. Haha!


On the water feature that's turned off :D haha.


Joel & his damsel. HAHAHA!


Joel & Me :)


Joel & I again :D Without the hierachy of our status. HAHA!

After this lil' outing, we then went home and Daryl and myself proceeded to his place for our sleepover! :D

@ his place we watched "Role Models" on his laptop till 2am, then we chatted from 2am - 5am! Haha. We sure have a lot to share man :) haha.

The next day we stumbled out of bed into Uncle Peter's (Daryl's dad) car with Meryl as the driver! :D She's pretty reckless. HAHA! Just kidding. But she does reach speeds of up to 120km/h ok. Don't pray pray...haha. More like, must pray pray! HAHA! :D

It was Family Day @ the Zoo :D Laureen & I were the emcees for the game "Don't forget the Lyrics" :D I think we did great! :D Thanks Laureen for doing most of the Chinese intepretation as I rattled away in English. HAHAHA!

After service was our lil' zoo tour :)


Me & Daryl! :) W/ the white tigers in the background :D


Reuben & I :) My hair will be like Reuben's soon....HAHA!

Other pictures I took @ the zoo are stuck in Mervin's camera.. Haha. So will upload them soon :)

After the zoo, we were inspired to become animals - kill, scratch and devour. We went to do those actions digitally - We played L4D. HAHAHA! Playing as zombies, we kill, scratch, devour, etc...Like the animals in the zoo. HAHA! Whatever. LOLS :D

Marc then invited us to his new house! It's a condo in Hougang...forgot wad's the condo name...HAHA! His new place really is beautiful :)


Marc driving us there in his truck...haha.


Me, Daryl, Yourong & Marc's leg in his balcony :)


Us again still in his balcony :)


Marc & I in the transparent-walled balcony...haha.


Dinner @ night...in his balcony. HAHA!

Why were we so obsessed with his balcony? Because his room was too small to fit us all in. HAHA! But his place is really nice :D and security really tight! I remember opening his front door w/o deactivating the alarm and guess what? The alarm sounded and awoke the whole neighbourhood. HAHA!

Yup, what's most memorable is my sleepover w/o Daryl where we chatted our hearts away :)

Love you Daryl & jia you for your coming A levels! :)

Massive Shopping & My Cell Belated B'day Surprise!

Today was an AWESOME DAY!!! :D

I went shopping with all my besties! :D Present were Abigail, Anna, Meryl & Jeremy :) Whoo hoo! We were supposed to meet @ vivocity @ 1pm. But guess what? While I was on the MRT, I was just too eager to read finish the book "The Heavenly Man" that I simply read and I dumbly alighted at Marina Bay station when vivo's @ HarbourFront. -___-"

I was early ok! Early if our meeting place is Marina Bay. HAHAHA! So I got back to the correct destination. Sorry guys for my blurness! HAHAHA!

We then proceeded to Marche for lunch! :D We had a great time eating and chatting our minds away. It's great to really just sit down with good friends and share stuffs with other :D It's what Anna always refer to as "chill" haha.

So here are some chill pictures... :D


Abigail & I @ our eating place :)


Jeremy & I @ the wine & beer 'stall' :D


Me, Meryl, Anna & Jeremy outside Marche :D

And btw, in the picture above, Meryl's head popping out on the cow's head isn't actually a part of the cow figurine. HAHAHA!


Abigail with her coveted background that she wanted to be in. haha! :D

After our little chill-out lunch Meryl had to go back to school & Jeremy went shopping with his mum :)

Me, Anna & Abi then went shopping from 3.30pm - 7.00pm. And you thought guys can't shop. HAHA!

I initiated this lil' shopping outing because I wanted to buy every of my family member a little gift from the $$ I earned from work. I decided that buying gifts for them will be more meaningful rather than giving part of the $$ from my pay to them. Haha. So yeah, I accomplished much during this shopping trip and spent A LOT too. Haha.

So yup, we all got something except Anna, who was too lazy to purchase something she liked. Haha.

Anyway, thanks guys for accompanying me today and making this day so special! :)

Next in my schedule was a meeting with my cell group @ Fish&Co. @ Tampines Mall.

I sort of knew they had a little surprise for me there but it wasn't as I expected...

At the end of our O so sumptuous meal, they had the staff make me wear a wig (below) and stand on a chair as everyone sang me a birthday song. OMGosh! haha! O well, I had a great time there too :D

Thanks Andrina, Anthony, Phoebe, Kirk, Kevin, Johan & Farrah for that surprise and thanks for your cards and T-shirt from Uniqlo! :) Appreciate the effort put in guys! :D


Phoebe, Kirk, Kevin, Me, Anthony, Farrah, Johan & Andrina :D

Yup, today was a really accomplished and really fun day for me :) Appreciate you guys! :D

Two Triumphs! :D

1st triumph:
Me (Your great grandfather), Joel (Your Sister), Jake (Your Father) & Norman (Your Korkor) VS Cedric, Yining, Aaron Chua & Ding Zhou. WE WON!! WHOO HOO!

Check out our cool L4D nicks in brackets! HAHAHAHA! It's seriously super funny..."Your great grandfather protected Your Sister" HAHAHAHA!

SEE YINING? I told you if the com not lag, you all will kena own!! MUAHAHAHA! :D :D :D

Anyway, I really enjoyed yesterday's game. It's been super long since we played so long and so well. Haha! We played from 10pm - 1am. Crazy gamers! HAHA! Thanks for the great game everyone! :D

2nd triumph:
I wanted my braces to be put on when I'm serving NS so I can get days off to do my braces stuff @ National Dental Centre (NDC).

And GUESS WHAT? NDC called me last week to report for my first braces check up appointment, AFTER FOUR LONG YEARS OF WAITING FOR A DISCOUNTED RATE!!

Haha. So yeah! Good & bad la...Cos my friends told me that putting on braces will also hurt a fair bit and affect your diet - you can't eat meat and hard foods initially. So in my first few weeks NS it'd be a bit torturous.

O well, look on the brightside Jonavan, there are off days? HAHA. :D
