The interview did not go too well because I did not do my homework.
and yes, she was a little intimidating.
no news must mean bad news :(
celia tay likes Swensen's chicken baked rice too :) and chocmint ice cream (not everyone appreciates having colgate ice cream you know!)
we polished off a plate of baked rice each and a topless 5 together after that nerve-wrecking interview.
really don't know where her meals go to - she still looks the same since p.sch! :x
the world is never fair. =p
Limelight 2009 made me feel like going back to alumni band.
I still prefer Xinfony though. Haha!
Followed Mum to the temple yesterday. But she'd gone without the coffee, oranges, and joss sticks. =.=
Then to CP (for the 3rd day consecutively) because my aunt's new jeans were altered 2 inches TOO SHORT. Another trip need to be made for collection.
And she gave me a lift to HgM where I met up with Steph and Pearlin over Cartel. It does feel weird to hear of friends getting engaged. Like Steph said, "I don't even have a bf, and she's getting engaged!"
I like meetups :) Even though sometimes they burn a hole in my pocket!
Wish me luck for the interview later, so that I can arrange for more meetups! =D
Thursday
Eveeee day! I haven't seen her in eons :)
VERY filling lunch and
ICE CREAM. as if sitting at home wasn't enough to make me balloon. Haha! We went home satisfied; Eve with her clinique lipgloss and I with my sundress =D
Friday
Sentosa with Linn and Bin! Bought toys for building sandcastles. HAHAHA. Busied ourselves digging, camwhoring and getting sunkissed :) Bin was upset we didn't have a ball to play with, but we'll make up for that some other time.
Our itinerary was SIMPLE. Siloso beach - free bird show - Palawan Beach
Though we didn't have a ball, we got ourselves a frisbee.
No LugeRide, no UnderwaterWorld, no 3D rides, but still had truckloads of fun!
oh, with 200 photos, exclusive of videos. (.".) Hahaha! (and no, the mosaic is NOT inclusive of all 200 photos)
I'm actually hoping.
:)
BUT! my hopes are more often than not, dashed.
so maybe I shouldn't.
Nephew's 1st month :)
this picture of him yawning's really cute! and boy! he has HUMONGOUS EYES. with double eyelids! Meet Javier!
and these 2 others are his brothers - yes, I've become an aunt 4 times over.
first shot at zipai. though not very successful, but he's got part of everyone in.
and he requested to take a picture with me, so I had to stoop down a little to accomodate. Haha!
Back home, an intense session of camwhoring began! Because JH's here for another stayover :))
Very much welcomed, seeing how the week hasn't been good.
I scare myself sometimes. It is indeed heartening to know that our camwhoring's just a tip of the iceberg compared to some of my cousin's friends. KIDS these days, make us feel ANTIQUE.
And we baked a cake! Very idiot proof.
don't know what to think.
pray.
Mother's Day
Mother's Day lunch!
I find this picture amusing. I looked like I just got a dressing-down from duayi! Hahaha!
Grandma looking very pretty! :)

JH! Ultimate camwhoring partner.
We found a new way of taking pictures! Haha. I really think we're insane.
Mum still had to work. So I offered to be her chauffer. And we got an ice-cream treat! Hahaha!
The camwhoring continued all the way into the car.
BEEN SUPER BUSY! Mummy's amazed.
Thurs. Choir Chalet
Bridge khakis
still learning :/
and we continued with it inside.
The whole night, we WII-ed, watched a movie, EAT&EAT&EAT. I actually managed to NOT SLEEP for the whole night.
Sunrise.though I think we missed it.
Looking VERY alert despite not sleeping. I was truly surprised.
Checked out at 10a.m. and got caught in the rain.
Head ACHED horribly when I got home. Managed about 2 hours of sleep before heading to RafflesCity to meet the WIL girls! I must have been crazy to arrange for a meetup right after a chalet.
I think Jillian looks really good with SHORT hair. It was great seeing them again. :) caught up over dinner and starbucks.
And today, I went out again! For a movie with LinnYJHYWil. Star Trek was pretty good, actually better than Wolverine I think.
BROKE.
I need a job! Recommendations, anyone?
Mummy's 45!
No cake. No plans.
The whole afternoon, I was just showing mummy facebook pictures. Yes and I got her to try out the HellKitchensGame, to much amusement. And after about one hour plus or so, I got her and my auntie to show me some stuff they learnt at what I term "auntieyogasessions". I think I have old bones, really.
Not that mum's any much better! Haha.
So I was searching for movies because I refused to go K with her. =/ Haha! Unfortunately there was none. Good thing there were lots of packing and cleaning to be done because we had new air-conditioners coming in so that took up abit of time.
Finally we settled on SushiTei at SgnGdns. Very fulfilling. :) I hope I never get tired of salmon sashimi! And let's not get started on how yummylicious the chawanmushi was...MINUS the ginko nut.
Back in the car, my brother suggested going for a game of pool. And in a matter of minutes, we were at HgPlaza. It felt a little weird at first (for me), seeing how all around us were people my age and younger. But I knew my parents were past caring, even though some people looked over at our table occassionally.
I have very spontaneous YOUNG parents you know! :))
Dad said he couldn't play, and he beat my brother time and again. :/ Even though my brother held his own VERY WELL. It was very amusing watching my Dad grin and jump with a very audible "YES!" when he got the ball into the pocket, and sometimes with a soft hiss when he failed.
I had a game against Mum and won by a stroke of luck when she got the white ball in at the last minute. ;p
I think my Mum had fun! Happy 45th! =)
Good thing my grandma didn't put off visiting to some other day.
My granduncle's gone.
Just saw him all frail in bed this afternoon. Finally, I see and fully comprehend what "a bag of bones" means. The ribcage was where there used to be a stomach.sunken cheeks.just SKIN and BONES. There were several times he took such deep breaths I was afraid it'd be his last.
An all too familiar sight. Just a bit more haunting because he did looked worse than my grandfather.
at the dinner yesterday, wine was served. and my brother (on the right) got really red from drinking. "mr gary" on the left was complaining about food the whole night through. Haha!
don't understand why they couldn't recognise me in the last pic in the last post. here's something more recognisable, hopefully. Haha!
yes, and times with JH are always filled with joy and laughter :))
Jocelyn's wedding today :)
Left the house early in the morning at 0745 and drove to Jurong with Dad giving directions. VERY LONG drive.
Back to Hg after 5 hours, with Dad at the wheel.
Headed to Courts with Aunt and Mum because our air-conditioners are beyond repair :(
Drove back to Hg again from Simei with my Aunt beside me in the FIT and Mum in my uncle's car (borrowed).
Then, picked up JH and family from Woodlands at 1900 before heading BACK to Jurong again for the wedding dinner.
You know, the fun one gets from driving diminishes with every trip you take in a single day. Haha!
Restaurant's like really far, near the jurongcamp. And we circled around for a loooonnnng while, reaching the restaurant only at 2035. By the time I got off the car, I was in a daze. Food wasn't as good as expected, or maybe because we just lost our appetite covering almost the whole of Jurong.
When the dinner finally ended, it was already, 2230.
On the way home, well, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Haha!
FINALLY!
Oh, then Dad insisted we returned the car TONIGHT. So we sent JH and family back to Woodlands, then Grandma and Aunt and brothers back to Hg, then BACK to Simei with my parents and I chauffered my parents home to Hg again.
:s
I hope no one else I know hold his/her wedding dinner there.
Friday

satisfied our cravings for something spongy and not TOO sweet.
