Quite alot of events happened the past 2 days. On Monday after zoo, I joined Yisi, Minghui, Xiangyu, Joyce and Juebin for movie at PS. I was SO surprised to know tht XueYing is coming, cuz he's always the 'pang seh' king. lolz...

Yeah, I'm supposed to meet em at Ajisen which I thought was at level 3. So took the lift from B1 to L3. *no sign of Ajisen* Went up the escalator L4 *no Ajisen*. Went to L5 *Ajisen??* So it mus be at L2... so took the lift but all the level 2 buttons can't light up! In the end stepped out of the lift only at L1, took escalator up to L2. *wth* L2's lift is undergoing upgrading =_= Suay.

Thereafter we head to Daiso where xy & mh took turns to try on a pair of SUPER UNCLE glasses. Just for fun. =)
gosh~ She looks really happy wearing these glasses. haha
Then we watched the Korean movie "Le Grand Chef". I would say it's a pretty cool and touching movie. Catch it if you haven't =)


Yesterday I met wa after this morning lessons for lunch at PS. Again. haha... he went for Pizza Hut's student meal again. lol... den we had Waffle icecream at Gelare. *Tues 1/2 price*
Always love Gelare's ice-cream waffle, aromatic & piping hot with crisp crust and yummy ice-cream. *wootZ* =D

Got myself a figurine which I eyed for a long time...

Wah.. i think he's totally cool!!! ^_^

Went to zoo again today... 2nd batch of P3 students coming down for trails. this is the most horriblest, terriblest group of kids I've ever taken. WA & I took the same class, but we split them into 2 groups... and I got the naughty group! They never listens to instructions, keep talking away when I'm talking, loves to scream and chase each other... The thing is their teacher-in-charge must have known that my grp has the terriblest, horriblest kids and joined wa's group!!! *ARRrrr* Left alone with a volunteer parent to these handful kids *sighz*

This went on all the way and climaxed at Fragile Forest. Cuz FF is a place where visitors can get close encounters with the animals... I already warned the kids not to make alot of noise so they won't scare the animals away, don't chase them, and all the other DON'Ts... *sigh* The 'chasing' boys saw 2 crowned pigeons (size of a chicken) walking past them and they freaked out screaming "Yee!~ Demons! Monsters! They got red eyes!"

Crowned Pigeon

Of course when they screamed, the pigeon got freaked out too and they started to walk about frantically. And when the pigeons couldn't take any more of the kids' screamings, they took off right in front of the children. So all the kids dunked and screamed even louder. *CHAOS* I was fuming mad. MAD. FREAKING MAD!! Mini terrorists. =.=

Stopped by Cheetah exhibit. I love cats... not small ones. Big cats. haha... and especially love it when the cheetahs rest beside the glass panel of the exhibit. They're so close up, it's as if they're just sitting by ur feet!


Beginning to fall in love and appreciate these animals in the zoo.... without kids of course. =P

Happy Birthday GuiJin!

9:16 PM Edit This
Went out today to celebrate Guijin's 22nd birthday along w Weiann & Zhixiang =)

Zx planned a mini surprise for GJ... which is WA and I showing up with a cake at the foodcourt where they were having lunch. So we met like before 2pm at Bugis, but GJ was SOOOoo late! *looks at GJ* In the end WA and I gotta walk around and kp siam-ing places we think ZX & GJ may walk past.

And when they finally settled down at the food court, they're supposed to be seated in a way such the GJ won't see us coming in from the entrance. But this ZX har... cannot contain his laughter when he saw us! Kept laughing and turning over to look at our side, of course GJ will find sth amiss and looked back too. *hor airen?* haha... and she spotted WA!! *cover blown*

So somehow ZX managed to xian GJ back to reading this letter he prepared for her, also to distract her so she won't notice both of us coming in. After much hesitation and misunderstood cues from ZX, we went in and surprised her! hehe...

Here's some pics we took today.

ZX lighting the candles for his dear...

GJ and her bday cake (mango moose - is this how u spell mosse/mouse/moose? - cake from Baker's Inn. YUM~!)


Bday gal making her 22nd wish...

and blowing out her candles *wootZ!*
And of course not forgetting the cam whoring session where pple sitting at the tables around kp staring at us. lol..


Since the venue was at foodcourt, so ZX koped Yong Tau Fu stalls' bowls to put our cake. Quite professional looking I muz say.. haha..



the leftover kiwi which nobody wants... GJ cut her 2nd bday cake *woOhoo* Happy 22nd!

They don't look as happy now that the cake is finished.

Lastly we managed to squeeze in for a picture with my cam on a plastic cup.
(cuz everyone else in the foodcourt were too busy eating to help us take a pic =.=)



Actually there's one more pic where GJ is super sanba, lol... too bad i accidentally deleted away. *wasted*


Anyway, hope u had a wonderful time today gal! Happy Birthday airen! *hugZ*

My cousin recently bought a mini scooter. Everytime I look at it, it reminds me of Zhixiang's "Ikan Bilis" joke.




Make good use of ur student card

11:51 PM Edit This

Did u know that most fast food outlets

(Macs, KFC, BK, some ice-cream places like Anderson's ice-cream etc.)

have student meals / discounts but they don't inform you publicly?

Don't let them deceive you! haha...

Well, stumbled upon Pizze Huts' student meal.
Personal pan + 2 drumlets + drink = $5.90 *wootZ*

So make good use of your student card now! Flash it and ask for discounts.. cuz stepping into the realm of the adult world = EXpensive

Reunion Dinner 1

11:07 PM Edit This
My family gathered at my grandparents' place for an early steamboat reunion dinner. I love this kinda gathering where I'll get to see all my relatives together, especially my cousins. It's always fun to chat, update, complain, and suan each other... =.= but still these are the kinds of things family members do to make gathering more lively. haha...


Everyone eating at their respective tables i.e. adult & kids. I'm at the kids table, feeling young~ haha. Only my bro's at the higher generation table. =x

Check out my table... my bro says the steamboat broth that my grandma cooks is the best! *agrees* hehe..

We took several pics cuz my bro kept suaning us that the angle we're taking makes us look fat *bish* Anyway this is the best shot ^_^

The 3 female Lao Da of my generation... & of course they're my fav cousins. =)
ChinTing, WeiPing (WP) and myself (WP).

1st Zoo Camp

4:35 PM Edit This
Went for my first ever Zoo Camp for the past 2 days. It was something new... fun and tiring. Wei Ann & I are education facilitators, so each of us are supposed to bring a group of 20 kids around Behind-the-scenes, pitch tent, have meals with them... There's a total of 4 classes from Zhangde Primary 3 students attending the camp.

My class is still relatively good, sometimes a few boys will start running and chasing each other around. And at the end of Day 1 dinner, this boy called HaiJing was really attached to me. He kept looking for me during mealtimes to talk cock =.=

Wei Ann was tortured badly by his class. haha... his class has the most notorious boys in the level... muaha.. poor thing.

All of the facilitators suffered in the camp! haha... these kids har... never seem to sleep. Almost every minute, there's a couple of kids coming over to ask permission to go to toilet. Otherwise, they'll be playing and screaming in their tents. *sian* This was how our night was like.

1:00am - finished bathing
2.00am - settling down & snuggling into slping bag.
"teacher / jie jie, can I go toilet??"
" how come you're alone? Go wake one of ur friends up to go with you."
" teacher / jie jie, can we go toilet??"
" Ok go".
(another pair) "teacher, can we go toilet??" =_= ZZz...
3.00am - Another facilitator punished noisy boys to stand outside their tents
*silence*
4.00am - Stupid rooster cuckooing away. Totally wanted to catch it and eat it up! Arrr....
5.00am - Zzz..
6.00am - Time to wake up...and SO MANY of the kids are already running around, making lots of noise!

*Day 2 programme starts*
Well, at the end of the camp, we waved these little terrors goodbye. lol... it's quite fun actually, building bonds with these kids and having fun with them.
Hai Jing is the boy in the centre who attempted to hold my hand throughout the 2nd day tour. haha.. very cute =) The boy with glasses is Royston. He's very smart! He can answer almost all my questions correctly!

For those who doesn't know Behind-the-scenes (BTS), it's part of the zoo's education programme to teach more in depth to participating kids about the zoo's collection of animals and to spread the conservation message. Being a facilitator isn't easy man... look how much we've been thru alot before we're allowed on the job. Totally freaked out!!!


Wei Ann with the Magadascan Hissing Cockroach... HAHAha...Me holding a HUGE Giant Millipede.

Bunny!

11:14 PM Edit This
After dinner, Weiann & I were driving around when we saw this HUGE night floral market. The kind which pops up only nearing CNY. So we stopped by to take a look.

See how far it stretches? We cant even see the end of it! haha.. This place is HUGE! I think it's even bigger than one floral shop at Thomson.

If you see this plant, stay away from it. It's surprisingly stinky. (>.<)

This plant is impatient.


WHoa! Doesn't this look like a painting??


If you think these pots of mandarin orange are tall... (I'm already 1.7m)
Check THIS out!

*Ahhh...!*

Nope darling... that's not a stool for you to sit on.

May the new Rat year be Smooth-sailing! Just like this boat of prosperity bamboos =)

Doesn't this resemble the macho gorilla on my Kipling bag sucking its thumb? lol..

Isn't this cactus irresistably cute?? It has 2 bunnies! haha...

And I couldn't resist buying it. hehe.. and Dear got himself 3 soccer balls.

See the resemblance? Hehe... I'm really happy that I bought the bunnies! ^_^

yUmm...

10:51 PM Edit This
Went to one of our fav restaurants 'Waraku Pasta'...'Waraku de Pasta' or is it 'Pasta de Waraku'? Aiyah...anyway went there with my dear for our monthly dinner today. These few nights like "yao tio"... haha jus got really, REALLY hungry. It's the first time I finished my plate of pasta leh. haha..

Not forgetting the tiramisu par fait dessert....YuM~!





This is a must-try! =)

A day at the temple...

11:10 AM Edit This

Today is the annual event for my family to go to the temple for Thanksgiving. It has always been a huge and extravagant affair for that particular temple on this day of the lunar calendar, which runs early in the morning till late at night. It has all the elements of a classic Taoist religious ceremony... from sounds of ringing bells & gongs, chanting Sai-gongs (Taoist priests) to devoted worshippers (mainly aunties) and animal sacrificial. Yup, animal sacrificial (o.O) I think I'm the only person my age around there. =P

Well, I'm not really involved in the praying, but more of a chauffeur sending my parents to and fro...
Here are some pics.

The entire street is taken up!
They even need traffic police to guide traffic through the narrow lanes.


WARNING! Not for the faint-hearted


There's actually a pic of a goat n pig, but I think it's kinda erxin so I didnt upload. heh... Well, I'm sure these animals are treated humanely b4 being placed there.



Everyone has to go early to 'chope' a space on the table to place all the food and to pray. Apparently my mum didnt go early enough, so they're left with tables along the alley. Those are my parents in the pic.

Then something interesting happened...

Now you see it...

Now you don't.
haha... someone stole the chicken and shao-rou away.
