Mr. Koh's Birthday Celebration

Mr Koh's birthday was spent at Pulau Ubin... hahahha... Very adventurous and strenuous birthday celebration indeed...

Met up early to have Mac Donald's Breakfast... and off we went, to the Eastern side of Singapore... Had to catch a short boat ride to the small island.. It feels like we're going 'overseas'... hahaha...

We alighted the boat and rented a bicycle from the numerous bicycle shops on the island.. haha.. We were spoilt for choice, but I guess the prices don't vary very much... We settled for our little bicycles and headed into the woods... haha..

Fearing that the weather would spoil our plans, we were proved wrong! haha...The weather was absolutely fair and sunny (scorching in fact).. and it was a great day for outdoor activities... (if you intend to get a nice tan =P)

Me and my red bicycle... hahha.. I don't know why, but my bicycle seemed to be extra springy.. haha.. I was 'hopping' up and down while riding the bicycle.. haha.. feels like im in a cicus can =P Can't bear to see the stares from passer-bys seeing me 'hop' up and down in my seat.. It was embarassing.. HAHA! I had to endure it for a good 5 hrs.... =P

His bicycle.. Blue for boy, red for girl~ hahaha... It was coincidental =P

For most of the time, I didnt really know where we were, or where we were going.. haha! But then with my personal GPS: Mr Koh, if I'm unsure of our whereabouts, he would be able to clarify all my doubts instantly.. haha.. Well done! (coz he has been to the island for duno how many times, while it's my second) Must be pretty boring for him, to be here on his birthday... haha.. =P

But then, we managed to find some suagus in front of the temple, to celebrate his birthday with him.. hahaha... These turtles were wishing him "Happy Birthday".. LONGEVITY! Though they said it silently, I could feel it =P

Stop running away from me!!

By then, I was really tired and tanned (didnt like to apply sunblock and stuff, so I was really toasted)......... Gruelling ride around the island.. haha... I was soaked with perspiration.. HAHA! no kidding.. This is like my few jogging sessions combined into one.. (maybe I can skip a few jogging sessions after that).. hahhaa...

We stop over at their resorts (as it was opened to public) for a stroll... It was previously opened for its resort stayers only..

and found a hut to hide away from the sun... haha... Vv hot! =P That place reminds me of Turi Beach in Batam...

Thereafter, we continued our ride... we decided to visit Chek Jawa... after a few km of riding.. and we started strolling along the boardwalk to appreciate the nature..

Soon, it was time to head home... haha... back to the main island for a nice refreshing shower =)

I was burnt... burnt and really burnt! OUCH~~~~

Went for a quick shower at a public toilet.. haha.. and we adjourned to ECP JUMBO for crab feast! =) hahahaha.. We're big fans of chilli crabs... He eats almost every part of the crab, but I only like the GONG! (pincers)... haha... It's sad to know that crabs have only 2 pincers... I hope I get to eat a deformed crab, with many gongs next time =P

Sorry, eating.. no time to entertain you... =P

Satisfying meal after a tiring afternoon... haha!

Happy Birthday Mr. Koh! =)

Mr. Koh's Birthday Eve Celebration

Went for dim sum buffet the day before Mr. Koh's birthday =) We stuffed ourselves crazy, coz it was a buffet!! haha.. prawns were the highlight of the dim sums... almost all the food we ordered had prawns in them.. I became terrified of prawns after that meal, coz not only did i eat alot of prawns, a portion of prawn meat + shell got stuck in my throat for a good 1 hr... haha... horrible =P

Nevertheless, it was enjoyable being able to eat alot without worrying about how much the meal will end up to cost.. haha...

Went to watch Jennifer's body after the meal... haha.. and I must say Megan Fox is hot.. Very attractive and sexy... haha.. every man's dream girl =P A teenage flick I would say... Been a long time since I've caught such a movie.. something which I can't make sense of~ But it's refreshing once in a while..

Was taken aback too know that it rained while we were watching the movie.. But heaved a sigh of relief when I realized that the rain had stopped.. haha.. Was worried coz I had planned a 'surprsie' gathering with COKTY for Mr. Koh... haha.. and rain meant that our beach bar/restaurant gathering would be unable to carry out as planned..

Slowly 'forced' Mr. Koh to go Sentosa with me in the evening.. hahaha.. he must be wondering why I would want to go Sentosa late in the evening, almost end of the day already =P But wells.. haha.. had to find all ways and means to 'act' all the way.. haha...

Finally met up with COKTY and gfs at Coastes.. bar/restaurant at Siloso Beach... hahaha..It was not easy keeping it from him due to the occasional sms-es and it was extremely difficult to make calls to them when I'm with Mr. Koh.. =P

But still, I think we all did a good job in 'surprising' him.. hahhaa...

Jingyi and Benny were Cake ICs... haha..

Mr Koh and I~

Our Yummy Hawaiian Pizza =)

Since we were on the beach, we had lotsa space to move ard.. haha.. and fool ard..

Few of us went off secretly to bring the choc to the table.. haha.. And I guess it was not a secret to Mr Koh anymore as we had an emcee to 'announce' our arrival.. haha! Coz another company was having some coporate events at the same restaurant.. and the 'emcee' let the cat out of the bag.. announced our arrival before we even reached our table =P

The cake is heavenly.. I really love chocolate! =)

Presenting COKTY~

We went off for part 2 of the programme.. haha.. nothing spectacular.. but just few adults playing with sparklers... hee!

We created quite a commotion in fact, the whole area was so smoky after that.. Im sure we will activate the smoke/fire alarm, if there are any nearby... haha!

Nice~ X'mas lightings are up as well.... =)

We parted before 12 coz Benny and Huixian were sick,.. They need ample rest~

We bade our goodbyes and spent the last few minutes of his 24th yr idling ard Sentosa =) Slowly counting down to his birthday...

Happy Birthday Mr. Koh!

Happy Halloween!

Never really had the tradition to celebrate halloween or attended any halloween parties for the past 23 years.. haha! Yes, I'm very suagu... so to me, halloween to me is like any other day... where in my faintest memory, I recall catching some ang moh 'trick or treat' related movies which I've caught on tv long long ago.. haha.. so to me, halloween is a day for western kids, where ppl will dress up like ghosts and witches, and go around knocking on ppl's doors, asking for tricks or treat =P That's abt it...

So this year, it was a little different, I didnt dress up... =P but went to the Asian Civilisation Museum (ACM) instead! hahaha... I've never visited ACM before, and since they allow ppl to go in for free that day.. So we thought, why not? It sounded interesting and cool.. haha! =) A great way to spend the Saturday night! haha..

And and.. they give out free bacardi drinks to visitors! while stocks last.. *alcoholic in me sneaking out again* HAHA!

We were greeted by hordes of ppl~ colourfully clad in various halloween themed costumes.. haha.. and the place was decorated with loads of cobwebs, pumpkins, etc.. ACM looked vv black and orange that night.. hee!

Behind me are throngs of people queueing up to don costumes and take a picture for rememberance sake.. haha.. Cool~ I wanted to, but queue was too long.. haha.. I need alcohol~ =P

This is Mr Koh.. haha.. with alot of ppl cluttered in the background.. It was a heart-warming sight.. families coming with kids enjoying a night out while having fun.. Some parents even dressed up as witches to accompany their kids.. haha!

I spotted this on the stairway~ haha.. A big funny balloon black spider, and a bloody rubber disjointed foetus.. haha.. Alot of cotton wool wasted =P

We carried on with the search for the stickers to get free drinks heritage / educational tour around ACM...

It was dark and crowded.. haha.. but colourful and interesting.. =)

And yes~ we found the stickers.. We were initially informed that the stickers have been fully distributed, but then... lady luck was smiling at us that night, the facilitator came forward to us (I think she remembered us asking for them), and said she found some extra stickers..

YEAH! we dashed to ground level again.. to exchange for the drinks.. haha... one drink per sticker per visitor =P Better than nothing...

*cheers*

After the drink, we went up again to catch some dance performance.. Which was very abstract.. Makes me wonder why can't they dance and have a narrator telling the story.. how do you expect the kids to understand when I can't even make out what they are trying to mean... haha! But well, that's art.........

What's halloween without taking some pics with hideous characters.. haha.. I think this 'creature' is quite disgusting.. so I asked for a picture.. haha.. =)

*eeeeeeeeeeeee*... haha! But i like his orange uniform.. looks like he got it from beach road market.. haha!

Performance ended shortly, and we proceeded with the educational tour again... It was really enriching, surprisingly.. maybe coz I was a history student, I'm surprised I didnt fall asleep while reading and looking at historic artifacts =P I'm well trained to have an inquisitive mind... HAHA!

"oh I see........"

Time to take a break after all the walking and reading.. haha...

We loitered around till midnight and it was time to head home~ We strolled to fullerton where I've parked my lambo........ *beep beep*

Time to vroom vroom home! =) Buenas Noches~

Laura's first month party

Went for Laura's first month party on Saturday~ =) As usual, Laura was sound asleep when we arrived... she is always sleeping.. she is either sleeping or eating.. HAHA!

Her top says 'hug me'.. haha.. your wish is granted! =P

ZZzzzZZZzzz.......

Catherine likes to carry Laura... It's only been 2-3 weeks since we last met Laura and she has grown longer.. hahaha...

My turn with Laura........

Princess Vera was still asleep when we reached.. haha.. and when she finally woke up..............

She was grumpy and started cyring non stop... haha~ we reckoned it could be due to the 'jealousy' she felt inside as all eyes were on the new born which made her feel neglected all of a sudden.. haha.. But, mummy's here to save the day! =)

Vera, who had just cried.. haha..

Random parting shot: Vera is still crying~ *hush hush*

Because it was raining~

It was raining heavily over my side.. and had actually planned to do lunch with Beh Beh Yi.. but rain had to come at such an ungodly hour.. haha.. why must it be during lunch time?

haha.. So, I decided to just sit back and relax... while the rain was still pouring outside.. Slowly sip my pipping hot milo, and munch on some random biscuits I bought at the supermarket some weeks ago.. Coupled with some newspapers in hand, haha.. this is life~

What a luxury~ =)

Happy Birthday Shiyou!

Celebrated Shiyou's birthday few days ago.. and on Saturday we went to Sun with Moon at Central Mall for dinner.. Heard lots about this restaurant, but hadnt had the chance to sample their food..

haha.. so........ The dinner was highly anticipated.. at least by me.. hee!

We ordered some sushi rolls, along with some main dish for each of us..

I didnt want to use flash, hence the dark pictures.. haha.. My dear C905 has its limitations.. and the flaws are magnified especially in low light environment.. =P

The girls~ hahaha... waiting patiently for our main dish.. Everyone except Felicia ordered this..

Tonkatsu Ramen =) haha.......... I prefer Tampopo's black pig ramen.. hee!

We went for another dinner on her actual birthday.. haha! Somewhere nearer to us... the famous CHOMP CHOMP! The smoke was overwhelming, but that's what makes dining there 'unique'.. once in a while, it's fine.. haha.. I cannot imagine going there every night =P

We ordered the Large sugarcane juice.. haha......... perfect on a hot night!

Our dearest birthday girl! =) with her favourite pose... haha..

She has different variations of the 'open hands like a flower' pose.. haha... vv nice~ =P

Succulent and juicy wings... *pok pok pok*

Our usual stingray, kang kong and lala.. hahaha!

FULL!

But, we still adjoured to a nearby dessert shop called ice cube.. to have some ice cold sweet nibbles... We ordered a bowl of many little mini scoops of ice cream...

Finally, the lady revealed half of her face.............

Mr Koh and me =)

We finished the dessert and chatted for a while before we decided to call it a day....... haha.. coz we have to work the next day... But wells, it was a good dinner! =) Satisfied!

Finally... to end this post..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIYOU! aka... bubbles~ =)

Visiting Peronel, Vera and Laura~

It's a joyous occasion...... Peronel Junior Number 2 arrived onto this earth on 6th October 2009.. She is also affectionately known as Laura~ What a sweet name =) Of coz, the Xpress girls and me (ex-Xpress girl) went to visit our bestie manager...... haha! It was a happy occasion.. to see lil kids running about in the house.. haha.. Of course, Vera was the hyper one that day, running about making cups of coffee (fake ones) for us using her collection of toy cups.. hahahha... while all eyes were fixated on the new born....

Vera is prettier by the day.. haha.. Mei mei like the mum =)

Peronel and Laura....... haha.. Aww.. she was cyring then.. She turns red immediately when she cries.. haha! Like a red tomato.. and the funny thing was, her cries were so soft.. haha... must be cyring for the past few days that she lost her voice =P..

Vera with her sexy yellow undies.. hahahaha! So very cute.. She has a whole collection of cute undies.. of all colours and designs.. haha! The one she's wearing had a pic of a girl with 2 pony tails by the side.. and the pony tails were actually some thick wool attached to the head of the girl.. so it's movable.. haha!

While the 'aunties' were busy chatting.. Vera was busy playing with the digital camera.. haha.. See the yellow undies? HAHA!

She likes to take self-portraits.. haha! Must be the mum who taught her how to do it......

Peronel and Laura.. Who just had milk... and Peronel is helping her to digest and burp.. hence, that expression on Laura.. haha! How shuang~

Catherine wants to be a Mummy soon.. She can't wait.. haha!

Us with Laura sound asleep...........

Meanwhile, Vera was still fooling around, 'washing' her cups and making more 'coffee' for us.. haha...

We didnt neglect her.. haha.. We love Vera too~ She is so cute.. She loves her sister.. refused to let us bring Laura home.. She will do it in her own style.. "cannot!"

She loves to kiss her Laura mei mei too... No tinge of jealousy, vv protective of her lil sister.. Keep it up Vera =)

Back to Laura.. Up close and personal.. in my arms... haha!

 Black beauty........ =) Alot of hair.. like me.. haha!

Catherine and me.. back to our self portrait moments..  =P

Dearest Laura and Me! =) How tiny and fragile........ haha... and she smells good too.. like all babies~

Sweet little angel~ I hope you grow up to be like your capable mum =)

A final shot before we part... Laura loves to sleep and eat.. haha!

As understood, babies have to be fed every 2 hours.. coz they get hungry easily.. Can you imagine waking up every 2 hours while you are sleeping to feed the baby? Changing soiled nappies, all the dos and don'ts during pregnancy and confinement, hormonal changes and mood swings.. Being a mother is defintely not easy.. Kudos to all mothers in the world!

I shall worry about all these next time.. haha.. when I become a mother myself~

For now, I shall just enjoy playing with the babies and leave the taking care of to their respective mothers.. HAHA! =P
