1a. Ant's bday!
It was Ant's bday on 17th June, that we decided to spring him a surprise on the 16th!
The main for the day
Chao, Xiang and I went back to school with a cake, while Xiaodi coordinated with the people at lab, getting them to come down and stuff, and also, most importantly, to trick Ant down without making him suspicious of the plans.
And I guess Xiaodi's so brilliant at it (tricking I mean), talking to Ant all the way down from lab that Ant didnt even notice our presence at the benches!
A very surprised and happy Anthony with us singing the birthday song
We attempted to take alot of multiple shots with the timer, balancing my precious pink t20 on Jianzhong's text and I forgot what, but in the end, only Xiang and I managed to get all the different shots while the rest laughed.
Hais.
Must practise ok people? Practice makes perfect! =D
Anyhow, here's one of the nicest shot of us all.
=)))
And not forgetting the present!
Crumpler!
After missing last year's present, we decided to go ahead and get him a crumpler this year. And Ant loves it.
So, thanks to Chao and Xiang for getting the cake! And thanks to Xiaodi for getting the crumpler!
Next up!
1b. Mei's 11th birthday!
We just celebrated Mei's 11th birthday on the Saturday that just passed.
And freak, she's already 11!
How did the days of her looking so uber cute in her tiny little doll dresses fly by so quickly? Where did that little girl go to?
In no time, she's gonna take her PSLE, go into secondary school, and yada yada.
I was her age when she just got born. A tiny little baby with the tiniest yet longest slender-est looking fingers ever. To think I used to change her diapers, make formula milk for her, and clean up her drool with a hanky. Freak, I feel old. =(
Anyhow, here's pics!
Birthday girl with the cousins
And..
Our family
Boy, if I have that birthday wish on that day? I wish that everything would be alright again.
2. Kuishin-bo!
Jie, Grass, and I went to Kuishin-bo on the 24th of June!
We had... (WARNING! SKIP THIS WHOLE PART IF 1) YOU ARE STARVING. 2) YOU LOVE JAPANESE FOOD. 3) YOU LOVE JAPANESE FOOD AND YOU ARE STARVING.)
.
..
...
...
....
.....
SASHIMI!
Tempura!!!!
Chawanmunshi!!! (can never get this spelling right.)
Paper steamboat!!!!
TOGETHER!!!!
Both Grass and Jie had this snail thing that I felt utterly grossed out by. Especially when they say the sai sai part is the best part, I nearly died.
Omgosh. Look at the sai sai!
Then, Jie and Grass were so happy in picking all the tiny cute little desserts for.. well, desserts.
A very happy Grass
While I got them to count me out for the desserts and concentrated on only..
The fondue
and
My perfect Coca-cola float. Chio right? =D
In the end, they were both disgusted by the desserts and learnt to pick up hints from Kimberly when she decided to forgo something. Ha.
And we left feeling very satisfied.
But before I end this part, THANK YOU AH MA for treating us to Kuishin-bo!! Love you!
3. New York New York + Pig Organ Mian Xian + Avocado drink!
Guess where I'm at!
Got it yet?
We were at New York New York biatches!
Much to my embarrassment, it was my first time there. After walking by it like dozens of times at the Citylink, till even Lot1 also has a New York New York branch, I went there for the first time on 27th June.
Erm, Grass too. So I don't feel THAT bad. Ha.
My ribs
And grass' roast chicken!
We walked about suntec looking for the tong tong before deciding to return home to get my lappy and clothes to stay at Ah Ma house.
My nicest and dearest Kaima and Kaiye were so sweet as to pick both me and Grass up at my house (CCK) to go to Ah Ma house (Paya Lebar). On the way to picking Godma up from work though. =DDD
Godma decided to treat us to the Pig Organ Mian Xian + Avocado drink at Alexandra Village!!!!!!
My Pig Liver + Kidney Mian Xian!!!!!!!
Ah. I know loads of you all are disgusted by it. Derrick especially. But I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this! This is my childhood memories, a delicacy that I thought I would never have again.
Oh, and how can I forget...
... the damn nice Avocado drink!
Allan that drank Durian. Which tasted DAMN GOOD too.
Grass with her Avocado
Me with my Avocado
And of course,
Me with my Pig Liver + Kidney Mian Xian!
Yummilicious!
And so, Allan and I both stayed at Ah Ma house.
And Allan did something really dumb yet hilarious yet.. I don't know. I guess I shall let the picture speak for itself.
Climbing 6 steps in a stride.
Alright, his legs are really long.
4. Prawn Fishing!
Yesterday, Xiang and I went Prawn fishing with Wensheng, Eric, Lily, Colin and Pipi at Bishan Park!
Seriously, for most part of it, Xiang and I were doing this.
Sitting there rotting.
Erm, and willing the buoy to sink.
The buoy is speck of red thing that the yellow arrow is pointing at.
The principle behind the buoy sinking is that when the prawn wanna eat the bait, it would kiap the bait with it's pincers to put into its mouth. So when it is kiaping, there would be pressure exerted, thus leading to the buoy sinking.
So, for most part of the night, Xiang and I were both willing the buoy to sink.
A typical conversation went like this:
Me (peering at the buoy): "Is it sinking?"
Xiang: "No."
Me (sad): "Ok."
And I alternated between peering at the buoy and our surroundings.
The sight that I was looking at.
-5 secs later-
Me (peering at the buoy): "Is it sinking?"
Xiang: "No."
Me (sad): "Ok."
-10 secs later-
Me (peering at the buoy): "Is it sinking?"
Xiang: "No."
Me (sad): "Ok."
Erm. Yeah. I started having hallucinations about the buoy sinking, and Xiang starting singing "Sink sink sink.." or "Come over to me prawnie, uh huh uh huh."
BUT.
When we got our first prawn, we were both so excited and exhilarated that my chair toppled over (without me in it).
Bait. Chicken liver.
Eric that we always run to to get him to get the hook outta the prawn
Eric's damn pro la. He and Lily caught so many prawns!
The basket that we threw the prawns (yellow arrows) into.
There was one point of time that our basket dropped into the pond, and Wensheng and Colin had to use their fishing rods to try get the basket up.
But the most brilliant thing have got to be Wensheng. He managed to catch a prawn at the very same time that he rescued the basket. DAMN PRO.
And here's the first one that I caught that was so damn huge!
HUGE ASS PRAWNIE!!!
Xiang with the huge ass prawnie too!!
But in the end, whether they are huge ass prawnies or small hei bee, they end up looking like this:
Skewered.
Smothered with butter.
And
BBQed.
And when everything's bbqed,
Everybody's happy.
Lily ran away from the pic
Happy Xiang with a plate full of prawns
And finally, to end off this uber long post, a pic of me with the huge ass cooked prawnie!
=)))
