Picture blog. * Sequence of events not in order.*

Mommie's Birthday

Mommy opening up her presents. Thanks to everyone who showed up and brought her pressies. She had a great time.You made her day. :)
2 gals with a camera. Go figure.

Reyna analyzing the ice cream.

Fisherman's Village

Last Saturday was spent at Fisherman's Village to support an event that my uncle helped to organised.

Yours truly, Limin, Jiawei, Jiade.

They are a bunch of funny folks. Thank god they were there to keep me sane. Anyone who could stand my half-ass crappy jokes deserve a standing ovation. We tried to trade embarrassing stories of each other. I had to give Jiawei credit because i couldnt remember anything he did as a kid that was considered "painful" to talk about. LOL Fret not, im sure i will be able to dig up some dirt. LOL


With Jamie and Patsy. I know i say it alot but they are growing up so fast.

Yan Jie and Michael 's Wedding Dinner

Mike and Yan Jie.

Finally hitched! Congratulations!!

These 2 were in the same class since secondary one and didnt get together until they were out of secondary school. It was amazing actually, the way things turned out to be. I felt like my own little sister was getting married. 8 years just passed in the blink of an eye.

Despite all the initial hesitations, i actually had fun at the dinner. It was like a reunion of sorts. Saw people i didnt want to see again, met people who i couldnt stop talking to.

They gave me some hope. Maybe one day i will be able to have what they have.


Xavier and his gal.

I also finally get to meet Xavier's girlfriend, Alvina.

And of course............





*more like a prom night than a wedding dinner?*
We hit it off real well.


Justin ( my oldest friend!), Baby Alexis, Yan, me.

The three amigos have become three and a half amigos. The friends i used to play basketball with till lights off. The friends who i used to sit at Macdonalds with for dinner and mixing ice cream with chilli sauce. The friends who i played my first beach soccer match with. The friend i sat with in Primary 6.The friend who started her own family. The friends who have evolved in so many ways.

Memories light the corner of my mind.
Misty water color memories
Of the way we were.

Well, had too much to drink at the wedding dinner. On an empty stomach, no less. Wasnt feeling my best with the hangover and the poundings in my head the day after.

Mr Narcissistic decided to come into my room .........




and be narcissistic. Over 20 pictures of narcissisim at its best. Dude, way too much lovin man. LOL

and he took this *sigh*.................





Me in my hangover state. I know i was lying in a weird position but it was the only position that didnt make me wanna knock my head against the wall. Yeah i know, i sleep together with my technology.

Oh, yeah before i forget, a huge thanks to a kind gentleman who took time out of his busy studying schedule to be my plus-one for the night. Gracias.

One of the best movies i have ever watched : The sisterhood of travelling pants.

The character of Bailey was really well-written. The interactions between Tibby and her were so amazing. Tibby kept pulling away and somehow, Bailey kept drawing her in, opening her up to things that she might not have realised.

Really good movie. Watch it.

A lot of weird encounters over the weekend.

Guys just dont know the right way to approach women.

Lil strawberry shortcake is over at my place. She is heading to Japan next week and wants to chill together today. Really, really sweet. I am *touched*.

Everyone is leaving the country except me. *pouts*

Ok, end of interval. Pictures to post later.

Au revior.

*sigh* Hard to concentrate on the game when your friends are saying some of the funniest crap and you just keep laughing all night long. Everytime the 4 of us hang out, it is just funny stuff all the way. Its crazy how much crap we could conjure up.

6 hours of mahjong, my butt is real sore.

Im going to keep this short. Too tired.

I find it fascinating how Hui will buy a huge carton of juice and finish it in one night.


See what i mean by funny stuff?


Expert Ron trying to explain the dynamics of the game. He is really a master.


What can i do? Im just brillant at this game, not. LOL


Mr I-have-a-lot-of-attitude, me, and Mr I-dont-wanna-live-anymore. Drama, drama, drama.

1am. 4 tries to get a decent picture out of the 3 of us. Gift blankets from Qi who went on a short trip to HK with Kenneth! The 2 lovebirds went to Disneyland HK without realising the entrance fees were SGD65 per person! Wayyyyyyyy too expensive. Thank you for the lovely gift though. I have half a mind of framing the blanket. LOL Precious moments. Too cute to use it.

Thanks guys. Great time hanging out. Next trip, planning in the works.

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky gal
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me

Today has got to be one of the best days of this year!

I woke up to a nice chilly weather, thanks to the rain. The air was fresh and the sky was cloudy. Around this time of the year, a day like like this makes me more Christmasy than ever. * Some people might think how i could get more Christmasy than i already am, but trust me, i could do a lot more! Ha ha!*

So i put on my favourite jacket ( I love jackets! So winter-wear!) and went to school. Even school was good today! Sharon and i were sitting behind this dude who she had been checking out since the beginning of the school year. Somehow papers flew all over the place ( Really, it was an accident.) and he got it back for me. I didnt even know it was him until Sharon's face blushed a lil and told me. Of course, i had fun teasing her. It was real nice to see another side of her. I hardly see her nervous over something.

On my way home, i started listening to Christmas songs and all i could think about was happy things. I didnt even know i was smiling all day until Pops asked me why i was so smiley today.

I hope i will get more days like today.

The wonderful magic of Christmas.

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
You're so deep in my heart
That you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so hard not to give in
You know, I said to myself, this affair ain't gonna go so well
But why should I try to resist
When baby, I know well
That I got you way under my skin

I would sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, step up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

Cause I've got you, you're under my skin

* Warning: Explicit contents. Minors, read at your own discretion.*

Opps, spoke too soon. My head has been and is still buzzing since this morning. Blame it on my lousy non exsist resistance to delicious red wine. No strong and bitter aftertaste. 5 glasses= 1 bottle and 1 glass. Mom and dad thought that it was funny that i couldnt hold my liquor (which isnt true AT ALL!!!) and teased me endlessly about my headache and poked fun at my misery. *sobs* Having hangovers doesnt make me hungry. Maybe this is the magic of liquid diet. Ha ha!

Anyways, my weekend was pretty eventful.
On Friday, Jacq and me went looking for Winnie, who kindly sponsored us the tickets for Sexpo. * Thanks a bunch gal!*


Me and Win @ Macau Express

Win and Jacqueline.
Had a wonderful time just sitting there and chatting with the 2 gals. We could form a sorority. I had a feeling that both of them were unwilling to stop gossiping. LOL

Walked around for a bit and then...........
Sexpo!

If you are under 21, you can pay $2 and gain entry to the convention but what you get will be this:



















I cant scream " Sanitary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" enough. You can gain entrance to the "official" Sexpo but it has absolutely nothing to do with sex education. Nadda. Just booths of dating services and what not. It was so ironic. Under 21s can gain entry into a club, smoke and buy alcohol at 18 but not get "educated" about sex. The young adults in Singapore are extremely affluent. They probably surf for porn online anyways and they prolly do. So why hide it? Besides, i feel that they are the bunch that really need to be educated on sexual health.

The whole event felt like a "customs" event. Police was all over the place. Screening security. And there i thought this event was supposed to display our shift in a more open culture on sex. Boy was i wrong about that.


Main exhibits from China's Ancient Sex Museum.

I was pretty much fascinated yet disgusted by some of the items on display. The words that kept surfacing was ".... to torture females...". It gave me more insights to inbalance power of the genders rather than what it was supposed to do.




















In some countries which i cant remember, the folks paint pictures of penis on the wall as part of their superstitious beliefs.














Finger Clamp: used to torture prostitutes who cant serve their clients. I wonder what they used to torture male clients who couldnt get it up.

Ancient dildos? Ouch.


This has got to be the worst i have ever seen. The saddle is used by attaching it to a donkey and the woman has to sit on it. :s I wonder if the person who invented it has ever tried out his or her inventions. How is it possible to endure watching the lady going thru all the pain? It is so bloody sadistic. EW!


Dancers doing a sexy routine, performing to an audience made up mainly of gawking ah peks. They banned inflatable dolls because they were afraid that guys would get over excited but a sexy dance was part of the program? COME ON.

Condoms, vibrators, dildos (rubber ones) and what not for sale.


Role playing costumes.

All in all, Sexpo was boring and conventional. It didnt challenge exsisting opinions.

Paradigm shift?
Yeah right.

"A uniquely Singapore sex show."
Absofuckinglutely.

*I will post the pictures of the wedding that i attended on Saturday as soon as i get em.*

Carina
10:28:00 PM

OH. MY. GOD. I have met my match : 5 glasses of red wine.

One thing i like about drinking wine, no hangover. My head doesnt go on a buzz now. I must be getting better at drinking. LOL

A shout out to Reg and Eric: Thanks for the great advice!!!

Carina

Really, its one of those things that irks the hell out of me.

I was on my way to JB for a lil shopping today. * No i didnt buy any pirated DVDs. I cant afford to outwit the custom's procedures. Oh, yeah and the whole intellectual property and stealing is bad blah blah blah." There was a slight traffic congestion at the immigration checkpoint. The owner of a silver Toyota Corolla Altius started cutting lanes. * I remember the model of his car because other characteristics were just way too "generic". Middle aged man. Wrinkled forehead yadda yadda yadda. So he almost crashed into the vehicle i was in while cutting infront.

For the first time ever, i stared at that bloody idiot so hard that i felt like i just completed a 5 miles run. I knew he saw the way i looked at him because his cowardly face came on. He knew he did something wrong.

Uncle ah, * I am only being polite because my parents taught me to address elders properly.* if you wanna play with your own life, that is your bloody business. I for one, love the gift of life. Just because you are anxious to rush to hell probably doesnt mean it is right for you to drive dangerously. When you wanna cut into someone else's lane, the least you could do is to turn on the signals. Its easy really. You look old and seem like you have been driving for a while. You are prolly lucky that you are still in one piece judging from the way you drive. Really. Its just turning on the signals. How hard can it be? Its like telling others ," Hey excuse me, but i gotta fart,". Just because of your own selfishness, you are willing to jeopardize others' lives. Shame on you, you bloody dipshit.

I hate drivers like this. They should all be deserted on an isolated island. Just like Lost. With no Evangeline Lilly or any hot babes make out with or look at.

On another topic, sometimes i dont know what to make out of from Chinese traditions. It is mind baffling for me. I feel its just an excuse on top of anything else. Like how i am REQUIRED to show respect for someone older that i dont know of. I dont mind greeting each other because that is being polite. I embrace the concept of "courtesy". However, to show respect to the person just because he/she is older than me? A bunch of hogwash. If respect has to be demanded and not earned, that person is prolly not worth of any in the first place.

Reminds me of a quote from somewhere, " Most of the time we dont do the things that are right. We are just doing it because it is easy, ".

Im going to the Sexpo tomorrow!! Life sized inflatable dolls are banned because it resemble real life human beings and might arouse the guys. I thought one of the idea of having a sexpo is also to find out what tickle your fancy. I also assume that dildos arent a replica of the real thing. Dont want it to cause any "arousal" of course. Forget about showing the different positions of Kamasutra. Lets all just watch "The Guru" and call it a day. Oh sheesh, cannot. We dont want the guys to get excited over Heather Graham. We have to lock them all up.

After watching my first ever Harry Potter movie, i have come to the conclusion that i am definitely more of a "Lord of the Rings" girl.

I am beginning to have newfound respect for my brother.
Check out his newest rant.

Operation Pineapple tarts is a success, i think. I picked up new skills and learnt from the expert. Although i was having problems moulding the tarts at first, i found my "niche" shape and viola! Edible and not too fugly looking tarts. My hands are not good with delicate stuff so i am proud of myself. Ha ha! I shall attempt to make my own pineapple tarts for CNY2006. *Yes, i really really like pineapple tarts.*

Had a great time with mom as usual. Birthday dinner and more shopping. I think my mother and i should find a new hobby. Shopping is great and it bonds us but its way too expensive for a hobby. Maybe we will try a yoga class or something.

Oh, she thinks the tarts are awesome. ;)

My brother never fails to amaze me everytime we have a late night conversation. He always supplies me with snippets of new information and makes me think.

I hate people telling me what to do on a certain thing when they dont know crap about it. They have never done it before and yet they act like they are bloody experts. I am fine with constructive suggestions. What i am not okay with is opinions that are just bend on putting everything down. Makes me so mad!!

On a happier note,
Christmas is in 2 months. My favourite holiday! I know im a lil nuts to stretch the Christmas period but such a wonderful holiday shouldnt be confined to one day only. I am already listening to christmas songs. Ha ha! Im a Xmas groupie. All the puddings and fruits cakes are in stores but no candy canes yet!! :( Mom laughed and said that its way too early. I am going to convert her. Ha ha!

Christmas To Do list
Christmas shopping.........not done
Christmas grocery shopping- egg nog, candy canes, cakes, cocos etc.... not done
Find my Christmas decos...... not done
Buy a xmas tree....... not done
Come up with more reasons to buy gifts for myself..... done ( Its for Christmas!!!!:P)
Spend Christmas at NYC or ski resort .... not done
Christmas cards... not done
Make pumpkin pie.. not done.

Oh, i am also a little behind with emails. Sorry, sorry. I am just too lazy to sort the normal mails from junk mails. Will do that soon. To the folks who are expecting replies, i will get to it soon. Sorry.

What to do when Deepavali and Hari Raya fall on the same week???

Go on a short break with the entire family. I love my large family. More people to share the fun with. With more on the way, we need more chairs for the next gathering.

The 3 days made me realised that,
1) I should never take any pictures without make up on.
2) We are quite a narcissistic bunch.
3) We all know how to have a helluva fun time* the incident at the bowling alley was incredibly hilarious.BTW I dont forsee housekeeping as my career.*
4) Family gathering = Junk food central. I am so stuffed with cocos, cookies, sweets and chips. I should go on a detox immediately.
5) My self control ability is disgraceful. I am all junk-ed up now.
6) I cant multi-task. Never carry a conversation while playing mahjong. I lost a lot of money being distracted.

Extravagance becomes bland after a while. However, small gestures like this warms the heart. The thoughts are priceless. I could only count myself fortunate to hold a gem in my hand. Thank you, dear friend. * I hope i dont sound like a cheesy wanker.*



According to Jacq, i looked very "Ai(4) Mei(4)" in this pic. What the hell is "Ai Mei"?


This little angel makes everyday better. Congratulations Jas & YH! I cant wait to spoil another niece/nephew.

Happy Holidays!!!
