Stuffed to the max~!
Heyo~!
Yesterday(Boxing day!! can someone enlighten me on why it's called this...I have weird visuals whenever I hear this name. Heez) was a BIG day, SUPER tiring!! Glad I changed my mind about going to school to slog over my project. A great start to the day was joining my parents for a walk to the Bukit Batok Nature Reserve at 7 a.m. to enjoy the nice cool air and lush greenery. Tried looking for spiders along the way but sorry YT, I didn't see yours.
After the invigorating walk, it was off to breakfast(chee kui!). Yumyum. Then we hitched a ride back home before setting off again to the Robinsons sale in town. Reached there around eleven plus I think. Wah...freakin crowded sia. Me n my dad overwhelmed by the number of people cramped inside Robinsons...and the queue to the cashier was even more scary. I think got at least 8m snake all around the place...lucky us, we got my dad to be stationed there first while we shopped if not I think I will be so sian diao and not wanna buy anything at all because I hate waiting.
Anyway, after finally paying up, we ate lunch at the Tuktuk Thai outdoor eatery just next to centerpoint. Very nice! Really, I gave up eating my jap food because the aroma of the Thai food was too tempting and I'm not even a big fan of thai food!
Later I met up with weiqi and yanhui who were also doing some window shopping at the other side of town. Poor weiqi 'accidently' bought a bag that she didn't want in the first place and after deducting 10 bucks for topping up her fare card, her assets were down to her last 50 cent. Haha, she even wanted to pawn her bag over to me =P so that she would have money for dinner later at our class gathering. I think yanhui wasn't doing too well either in the money department. haha
And to think, she's working as a intern now at OCBC! The irony.
However, they were still stuck at Far East Plaza so I went over to Heeren first to do my own shopping. And so happy!! I bought 2 CDs!! Finally got my ORANGE RANGE (Natural Album) and Hirakawachi Icchome. Have yet to listen to Orange range yet but am loving Hirakawachi Icchome. They are really great! Love their guitar compositions...makes me feel so carefree and happy. This brother duo act is a japanese neo-folk group with a rather unique sound...slightly sad but relaxing and hopeful. My kind of music =P. I highly recommand this album to anyone who like guitar and wants to chill-out.
Saw loads of other CDs that I wanted to get to but CONTROLCONTROL!! I saw this Suzanne Ciani (can't remember how to spell her name) CD at gramaphone...I played most of her stuff before but hearing the CD just made me see those songs in a more interesting light. Then there's also the new Franz Ferdinand CD...din get to sample those songs tho but there is one song that I like from the new album. Also, The Darkness has a new CD!! SO COOL. They are the ultimate cheese of old school rock bands...freaking funny mtvs with sissors kicks and chest baring costumes. haha! I think i liked the first album better but sad...I think I misplaced the CD...need to search for it...
Oooh did I mention L'arc en ciel???? Do as infinity???? SIGH...I'd be broke before I get all the CDs I want. must. practice. self. control.

When I was finally in the company of weiqi and yanhui, flora also soon showed up and we were on our way to marche at suntec. But lucky for us, once we got there, part of the class also felt too poor to risk marche. NYDC cafe then!~
The class outing was quite fun but I dont think it was a success as the message was not passed to everyone and thus only so few of us showed up. However, I'm g;ad i went cuz I got to DRILL peiwen for UPDATES!! Wahahaha.....gossiping time.
Well...she drilled me too..=P
Mingli absorb both sides...bleuh...free loader. haha!
Peiwen, Ming li and me shared an oven baked rice sprinkled with cheese, italian ham and mushrooms (...SIN SIN SIN), so effectively, I only paid about 3 plus for my dinner!! haha so CHEEEEP!
The after dinner program was quite anticlimax....go home. But I'm glad cuz I had to be home by 12 and the next day I was going to school to do work le...so must sleep early.

Today, worked my female spiders by making them 'fight' each other.
Then, dinner at LIQUIDS cafe to celebrate my sister's birthday!~ Her boyfriend treat =P. SOOOOOO full. I have sinned non stop since the day I came back from Malaysia. I think I need to trek somemore and lose wt. Have eaten so much melted cheese in almost all my major meals...starting to get quite sick of it.
Tired....tomorrow is another busy day with the spiders...so I guess I'll have to leave my Part II of the Malaysia trip for next time... Will soon be posting LOADSSSSSSSS of pictures too...
Cheerio!~
