Homey Saturday

My Saturday was spent doing this productive thing: 

I won't be celebrating my mom's as I will be in Pulau Ubin.... Having the camp of my life. Kind of dreading it b/c it might be OBS-ish and past camps didn't go too well with my system. Except the lovely people who suffered w me throughout the camp- as in the OALs. So anyway- Julia Rothman needs credits again. ☺ To meet her would be a dream ☁

Today we had Kim Moh's as a birthday celebratory dinner for her. Then the longstanding tradition of our family- the birthday cake ceremony. The little guys would sit in front of the cake and blow the candles out immediately once the birthday songs (in 2 languages) are over. Nate blew out raspberries along w a mild wind which sufficed to put out 3 candles out of 11. Iain did the finishing touches. 

I really do love those little guys. Nate dunked peanuts in his ice cold water at the dinner table and proceeded to place it in his Thomas the Tank Engine toy, pretending it was 'cargo'. Then emptying out the cargo into ah yee Angie's plate. ❤ Toddlers are only cute at three. 

The aunties were nice and told me about Taiwan!!! And Jiufen was a recurring venue, really makes me tempted to bring the rest there! I am now a full-fledged Taiwan traveler because I have a TW tourist map in my hands. Watch out world.

Watching Monsters University w the sister and hopefully Luke and Iain too. First time this ever happens but won't be the last. I must treat my family right before it's right to treat others nicely. That's kinda like my motto in life right now. It's time I love my family like how they deserved to be loved. 

Ps: am trying to recreate the post that got deleted. I forgot to mention how I miss the old times. And lament that everything has changed already.

I came across a series of pictures in an album that made me miss the past terribly. 

chunky chunks

1. jasmines birthday at esplanade w yiyin was lava lava lava-ly. ecstatic to be laughing at blog shop model-esque poses at the rooftop. rly special place (u.u) and my red velvet cookies which Luke, Iain and ricks helped me bake. They were so cute about it. Lukey was so distracted over the baking smells, his eyes constantly wandered to the expanding pink cookies (which is soft like cake). Identity crisis lah this batch. But ok the batter was brilliant!!! Smooth thick and luscious haha I would post a video if I could hoho

2. USS with Jes Jo and Ying Xin! Haven't met those poops in ages! Hi Jo I am blogging now- with less um criticisms HAHAHA. Ok coz people kinda find out that I'm this harshly judgemental girl in p6 from my diary confession..... Still feel terrible about this ok haha. Y'all can find my diary then sneak it and read it. I'm totez prepared for some slack jaw activity. YX running for the mascots in hopes to get a good pic (and mostly succeeding at that)

My mini melts ($7 OHELL it's worth it)

 

and how Jo and I walked along the New York portion and ate it nonchalantly/ juxtaposed w Jes and YX frantically taking pictures there. Saw the Joker who scared the wits out of YY hehe- that was like what, April?!?!

Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop thinking Jes was a foreigner. This girl finally summoned her courage and told MM she was from *awesstrayyyliah*.

She bought it. 

Endless cylon and human rides to make the ticket worthwhile. Thanks a billion to Brenda for snapping up 3 tix for us!!! While she flies off to Europe; this is how you live your life friends. 

3. Birthday celebration tomorrow *confetti party*

4. Partial birthday celebration the day after *more sprinkles of confetti*

P.s: I managed to do italics on my iPhone!!!!!!!! Blogger app THX for the upgrade.

5. Today marks the day that I finally got rather comfortable at my new job. Manageable stream of patients and nice work colleague and happy, non-critical doctor makes for a good day. And also, driving. (I got the most patient, friendly, fatherly instructor whom i could make small talk with). Ashikin's reassuring text really worked for me as well. Quite thankful for her/ and heartbroken that she ain't working here anymore. There's a part of me that believes working at the clinic will help me in future.... But I don't feel super revved up for this job sometimes, bc of its intensity. And the fact that I might just kill someone w drug overdose or smth 

6. Current mode of travel for short distances: unarguably the bicycle!!! And I must share the hilarious stories that come attached with this bike. It's electric blue just like my game boy advanced sp (geek without the Tshirt), and it still has its sheen because it's relatively new beside the old bikes that I see, half collapsing revealing its rusty old gear chains and dirt- encrusted pedals. I've had 4 different incidents that include middle-aged/ elderly dudes admiring the bike...... In an uncomfortably creepy fashion, ie: the Bangla worker giving me the thumbs up sign with a wide grin when I cycled past him.... A slightly delirious old man who was hitting on my bike, the shop vendor at the Bedok bus stop saying I have a mei li de jiao ta che and telling me some Malay man glanced at it while I was away and snapped a photo of it.....

Hahahahahaha it's srsly amusing, the honesty of these people and their objects of um interest.

Not the last of turquoise colored nails

School, life.
Yeah, that's about it. Although every night I wake up from slumber feeling cold, before the alarm rings. That same feeling you always get on the
First day of school
First day of COALs
First day of Patts trip
First day of OAC
I'm trying to love it, this time will be worthwhile.

D today & class girls the prev day, dinner at LTN then crashing my place and talking like 50 year old ladies would of their grandchildren. This semi grown up life

Cornrows

Most epic moment of the day:
Me showing Paige the lady with the dip dyed hair (blonde tips with normal brown) suggesting she don't do hers like that, when she started staring super epicly and super shocked at the woman and I thought that she agreed with me, until I realised (after 5 seconds of only staring and when Paige could move her tongue) that she was a famous blogger, Jemma or Jemima, was it? Hehe. Of all 6 billion people in the world!!! The coincidence.
So glad we met today!
