I’m SO busy! Bahh, now I know it’s REALLY weird to work for two conflicting events -pd & arts fest. They’re like mildly bitching behind each other’s back for the fight of marketing space & the smooth flow of events & the logistics required from the school & what-nots. Since I get to hear from both sides, I can only look interestingly at how they exchanged blows. Heheh.
Anwss! I have A LOT to update! Sheesh.
2 days before Christmas Day
I spent the day nauing at Ams’ place & tasted her homemade ice cream cake. My god, it is SO good that I feel tempted to get the recipe from her & make a huge one so that I can eat at home. HAHAH.

On Christmas Day
Christmas and boxing day this year brings me back close to my surroundings.
Christmas was spent with my family & some random others (dad’s friends & their families which I really don’t know.) Overall, it’s still mega fun!

My bro & I crossed over the barrier thingy & squatted next to the fishing pond and…started catching baby crabs! My god..these babies are fast. Any signal of threat or danger, they will scamper into those holes with rough surfaces & our net would then be unable to sweep them up. Thus, you can imagine my excitement when I managed to catch one! I was squeaking in joy while using my slippers to stop the crab from going back to the waters but my bro frantically searched for a plastic cup to hold it. IT’S FUN! =)

At the end of the day, we managed to grab 1 goldfish & 2 crabs! *a round of applause please!* Hahaha, but we did drop them back where they belonged because we have a good heart & it’s christmas & mum was scolding. ( Obviously the last reason overpowered the rest. Hahah)

Despite being busy with catching crabs & fishing prawns, you know I cannot resist the bbq pit! Muahaha. The display of seafood is enough to make me salivate and drown the rest of the people so that I can eat ALL the seafood by myself. *greedy smile*

Every piece of prawn I unshelled, I have this BIG UNGLAM SILLY grin plastered on my face. It’s like my beloved Christmas gift man -fresh juicy big prawns bbq to bring out its finest taste! Hey! Every man has his soft spots. Mine is fortunately just PRAWNS =D

We dropped by my aunt’s place in the evening & I got the shock of my life when I entered their master bedroom. A careless glance over their wedding photo & I DISCOVERED SOMETHING! Hahahah. My uncle (when he was younger) looks like… JAY CHOU. He looks like Jay chou when Jay chou just started his singing career. The natural curly hair and the shy smile!!! Ironically, my cousin (his daughter) idolizes Jay Chou. Hahah, Ting, just look at your dad man! I can see how Jay Chou will look as he grows older now… =P
On Boxing Day
After the GIGA-tonnes of calories and cholesterol I forced into my bloating body, I suspect my arteries will be clogged soon if I do not take any action.
Hence, we (da cousins) decided to go trekking at Bukit Timah hill the very next day! Whoots, love their ’super on-ness’ =)

This is the park right next to Bukit Timah Hill which leads us to…

A beautiful & pretty scenic (pardon the pun) quarry! *let out a deep sigh* Nature has its own way of taking your breathe away (:
Along the way, we came across hilarious empathetic signs like..

Let me complete the sentence. Take care……. rest in peace. Amen. HAHAHA

Man, we took the longest AND most challenging AND most ulu route. It was quite tough for me but I was determined to complete it albeit being the OLDEST lao kok kok one lagging behind.

My brother named this “Stairway to heaven“. BUT BUT. He never warned us we have to go through the slope of hell, the trek of pain, the misery of hunger & exhaustion before we even reached the foot of this stairway. *sobs hysterically*

& at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, what is the first thing which you can NEVER missed? MONKEYS. They’re by the road, in people’s houses, sitting on railings & going around like they owned the place. Pffft. I was determined to challege them! Here goes our monkey faces!

At the end of the day…..

We’re goddamn tired!!! Have lunch at 4pm. Bless our souls & stomachs. Then again, the longjourney in a natural environment I’ve endured with my close ones will always bring back a smile at the thought of it (:
On the day after Boxing Day
I dragged myself out for a quick jog before going for Patron’s Day gathering. OMG, I love mahjong. Hahaha, I’ve had my virgin experience of playing mahjong & learnt it from very nice people. (Now that I realize, there are FIVE ladies with bangs in the org comm now as compared to ONE in the past. Wahaha.)


For sharp observers, our theme for the party was Black & Gold. Everyone hid their ‘gold thingy’ somewhere.. hahah.
Last of all, my cass & sandy are back from their Changmai OCIP! hahah, it sounds incredibly fun & warm heartening! But anyways, it’s great having them back =D =D

PS. Being a Jim Carrey fan, I cannot resist watching “Yes Man”. The movie might be right.. every occasion/invitation/event is an opportunity, why not..say “YES“? =)
