==========================================
Haha, I'm here to continue my previous post. Why was I so happy the other day?
***I AM getting my 300 bucks back from ICA!!!***
Haha, you must be bewildered. How the hell did I lose 300 bucks! Yes, it was my punishment - for "losing" my IC. I didn't know how I lost it. But, I just couldn't find it after I gt back from the US a month ago. I was certain that I din't bring it out of Singapore. And when I came back, I searched high AND low for it. Packed my entire room, but I still saw no sight of it. Hence, after I was completely sure that I had searched every possible place, and after being scolded by Uncle and Auntie Huang...I made a trip to ICA to make a replacement IC. It was not a smooth trip, but I shall hereby leave out the details.
And guess what? Last Saturday, my IC miraculously popped out of Auntie Huang's wallet!!! Yes. She had my IC all this while lah! Hahaha. We laughed our hearts out. And poor her was so angry with herself. But nm lah, most importantly...I'm gonna get my refund back! Confirmed. :) YES. Just this news alone...was sufficient to make me smile the whole day! Hahaha. ;P And that's not all...cable ski-ing with my Tk girls and supper-ing with the market brought my mood up to its peak.
Peek-tures!
Me, Si & Sammm @ Chomp Chomp
It was my first. Haa, yes I know. I had been staying up in the mountain.
Ha, but for the happy surprise, you're forgiven!

BUT, this...is so funny! - at least to me lah.
I laughed. Haha, thanks. *winks*
The stunts looked impossible right? WaHaha~* But in reality, they are possible.

Met up with the girls on Saturday - a date we set few months back before my trip. It was...awesome! Thanks PJ for organising! (: It's amazing how much we've changed since. We chatted like those days were just few years back. But shockingly, ten years have gone by - just like that. Friends come and go. And I'm so glad we made the effort to stay in touch.
Nostalgic. Haha. We dined at Werners - a German restaurant along Upp. East Coast rd. Elv, must bring you there someday! It was so good. The pork knuckes, the sausages, the clam chowder, the german beer! Not too expensive too. Value for money. Reminded me of those times in Munich with the market.
After dinner, we adjourned to Settler's Cafe for more catching up to do! Fun! We laughed so hard that night. Two boyfriends joined us. But not to worry, haha, they didn't spoil the fun. We played Cranium and Taboo...till GST officially turned 7%! Haaa, it's hilarious to see what we came up with to get our team mates to guess the correct answer. We drew, acted, hummed, did everything we could. We looked super silly. Hahaha. But who cares. It's one of the few public places where you can raise your voice, laugh till the roof falls and yet, no one will complain.
Ah hah! Talking about this, there's one more place you simply cannot miss - HK Cafe. Hahaha. A particular dearie's favourite food place. The place is cosy, but I find the food is just alright. Ha, nothing spectacular. Met up with some of the marketeers last Friday at Marina Sq's HK Cafe. Missed you guys! Laughed till our jaws ached! Haha. As usual, the company was fabulous.
I'm getting 'heaty'. How do I know? I woke up with a terribly painful throat this morning - at 5+am. I slept early last night because of the throat too. But it wasn't as bad as it is now. I think it's thanks to the irresistable food in Singapore. Drowning myself with loads of home-made barley now as I so don't wanna fall sick. It sure feels sucky to be sick - and I don't want to spoil my days.
Ohyes, to update you guys a lil' about my current HP status. My dopod - They have not gotten back to me on its status yet. Taking way too long. And the service (on the phone) was hopeless too. Made me wait and wait and wait, and at the end of the day, she told me they'll call me back - which of course they didn't.
I'm currently using Auntie Huang's colleague's spare phone. I know her personally too, as I often pop by their office to pick Auntie Huang up. It's a nokia phone - I can't remember the specific model, but I know it came out in 2003. Haha, I remember because I used to sell that phone when I worked in Starhub then. And big big thanks to the sweethearts who offered to lend me theirs too upon hearing that I'm phoneless. *Muacks*
Nat, a buddy I got to know from Starhub, accompanied me to check out the hp stores last Friday. Only one phone caught my eye - Samsung's U600! It has the basic features...camera, mp3s. and yet, its sleek in its design too. I fell in love with it. Haha. But total damage would be $398 - for a 2-year plan. To buy or not to buy? Do I really need it? Sigh. Actually, no. After serious considerations, I decided...to buy the hp that I'm currently using, from Auntie Huang's colleague. I figured it shouldn't be worth more than 50 bucks, because its really old? BUT, I must say its pretty well maintained. Haha. She, saying that it was a free phone (and that she has more spare phones at home), refused to sell it to me. She wants to give it to me. How can! After much negotiation, conclusion's a treat for that phone. Haha, and yay. Yours truly has a hp now. =)
Enough of yekking.
Let's take a peep at some of the photos taken with my TK gals!

They are my cousins. My mummy's younger brother's kids. The girl's 7 this year, and the boy's 5. She's called Celeste, and him Cedric. They invade my room every other week. Notice I din't say, "... invade my house". Haha. Rascals.
They wake me up from my sleep. Disturb me when I'm doing work. Make a mess out of my room which in the first place is not very neat to start with. Scream, Shout, Cry. In short, they are 2 hyper energetic and highly destructive kids.
Sometimes, they really do get on my nerves. And when that happens, I wish I could disappear. Haha. Did you realise I din't say..."I wish I could strangle them" or anything along that line? Honestly, I don't think I'll bear to.
I still remember when I was shopping for gifts for the elder one b4 she entered P1...I really felt as if I was buying stuffs for MY OWN kid. Wahaha. For that moment lah. Haha, like how a happy mother would be when her kid is starting P1! I bought her a stationery set (which includes a pencil case, pencils, notepad) and a cute pink pig keychain.
They are extremely naughty. But when they are sweet...they can be really sweet. Like running to hug you and calling out "Yuting Jie Jie" when I reach home. Giving you a goodbye kiss on your hand/cheek. Rascals.
Below's a photo taken when we went to visit my Ah-gong the other day. Where's my mum? Haha, she's the photographer lah. My Ah-gong doesn't stay with my Ah-ma. He did her wrong in the past, and to date, she still cannot bring herself to forgive him.
Frankly, if I were her. I also cannot. Imagine being deserted, with 8 very young kids, for another her. She brought them up single-handedly. It was hell. My mum, being the eldest of all, had to come out to work at a young age to help support the family. Whenever I think about it, I would feel the wrench for my Ah-ma.
But what to do? Should I blame my Ah-gong? He has aged, and is ill. Even my mum and aunt has forgiven him. How could I bring myself to not forgive him. Everyone has a past. And it's not fair to judge a person just by looking at his past. And no matter what, he's my Ah-gong. I gave myself the chance to get to know "her". And I think she's a very nice lady. Despite my Ah-gong's illness, she still stayed by him to take care of him.
You are being cruel to no one but yourself if you cannot forgive - This is a something I came to understand. It's never too late to repent. ;) Friends, extended family...I'm not certain. But immediate family members will always be by your side.
Left to Right:
Ah-gong, Me & Cedric, Auntie Eve & Celeste, Auntie
Auntie Eve's my favourite Aunt in this world. She's my mum's sister. Haa, and she dotes on me alot. Like a second mother to me. I will definitely take care of her when she's old. Oh btw, don't be mistaken. In the photo, it looks as if I'm trying to pry open the naughty boy's legs right? But hell no! I was trying my best to close his legs lah! So obscene. Grinz.
==========================================
Went for yoga with Dawn (my TK girlfriend) last evening. Not bad! Ha, it's a 7-day trial @ True Yoga. As we attended the 8.45pm class, there were only about 10 of us. Hence, the instructor was able to give us more individualized attention and corrected our postures. Dawn has been giving me loads of emo support these days - Thank you my dear. Really. Every single gesture meant so much. *Hugs*
A part of me hoped for a certain her to be there. But alas, she was not. Does "forever" exists in friendships?
==========================================
After receiving a particular sms today...I was very sad. All of a sudden, I was just overwhelmed with emo. I'm starting to miss you already. You know who you are. Promise me you'll take good care alrighty? =) Don't say I only talk but no action hor. Haha, tomorrow you'll know.
