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

My 23rd Birthday - Part 7

Met up with my 18/03 girls last thursday for my birthday finale.. haha! The girls brought me to Stereo lounge at Pan Pacific Hotel.. I didnt even know it exists, until they brought me there.. I've lost touch with all these drinking areas~ Anyway, this place is good.. haha! coz it serves free Martinis to all ladies before 8pm and each lady receives complimentary mini burgers.. all on the house! Now~ that's the draw.. hee!

Naturally, the alcoholic in me downed one immediately, coz it was 730 when we reached.. haha.. to make the trip worthwhile, i had 3 martinis to last the night.. haha!

We were all hungry, and it took a little while for the food to arrive..

Qian Ru.. Looking very satisfied with her munchie... haha!

We ordered some snacks along with the complimentary mini burgers which made us vv full already.. haha..

There there... My mini burger and my lychee martini =)

My birthday cakes from the girls.. hee!

Happy Birthday to me~~~~

Some random shot.. with the lady (in the middle) who just got engaged.. haha! Congrats Liying.... =)

Group shot with the ladies... from 18/03.. =) JC was so long ago.. and I'm glad we still keep in touch, and keep updated with everyone's lives.. haha!

Liying's fiance came down and helped us with this group shot, when we were abt to leave.. haha..

And yes.. This is her Fiance Ning Feng.. haha! Please take good care of our good friend.. haha.. Liying's getting married! =) One down.. hahaha.. *ting ting ting*

My 23rd Birthday - Part 6

Been wanting to have a BBQ for quite some time.. and so, we decided to have a BBQ session (like what we had last year) again.. at ECP.. =) haha! There's nothing much to prepare actually, unlike usual BBQs, BBQ with COKTY and girlfriends seem extra simple and effortless.. haha.. and as much fun! We skipped the marinating part and got marinated meats from Giant.. haha.. and we bought some of the usual foodies from there too.. one-stop shopping!

We wanted prawns.. haha.. and it was on offer! so why not.. grab.... like an auntie =P

Here's our loot.. Not vv impressive, but sufficient for us to play with.. haha..

We loitered around ECP, trying to find a good spot to set up our pit.. Haha! And since it was the Deepavali weekend, it was crowded! Families were pitching tents everywhere.. So we found a nice pavilion and defied all odds and decided to BBQ there.. haha! At the comfort of the sheltered hut, benches and well-lit environment.. We've got a bin by the side too! haha...

Weiting and Huixian got some sweet and dainty bags for us from BKK... Thank you~ Apparently it's from a famous brand.. and Suagu me didnt even know this brand exists.. hee!

Thank you! We posed with our gifts.. hee!

Let the BBQ begin~

We started with some Otah.. haha..

And then the chicken wings... and the fishballs.. hotdogs too! =) Yummilicious sinful food...

Please wipe your drool... haha...

Food on fire!!!!

A group shot while we savoured the BBQ food.... haha! It was a comfortable session.. haha... The pavilion had clean benches and good lighting.. no grass means we can sit anywhere on the floor.. haha!

Jingyi went to get a cake for us too....... haha! It was actually gotten for the birthday babies... =) Thank you girl! Very nice of her...

Nice blueberry cheesecake from Bakerzin =) Slurp! Even though it had melted a lil by then, it still tasted good and fresh...

It was difficult trying to light the candles, coz the wind was simply too strong.. haha!

Posing with the cake~ Benny and I...

We took turns to pose with the cake.. haha! Pretend pretend to cut.. HAHA!

After food, we started to feel lethargic and needed to move about.. haha! Mr Koh came up with the idea to play with the light sticks.. and we started 'drawing' in the air with the different coloured lightsticks to draw...............

Haha... Due to the technicalities involved, I'm unable to explain to you why and how this is done.. haha.. You need to ask the man himself.. =P

The green couple with their green lightsticks.. encapsulated in a green heart =)

The angels and the erm... sun? hahahha...

Star Wars battle... @ ECP.. haha! Benny looked like he was holding a parang instead..

He let out a heart-shape fart for Jingyi... haha!

Streetfighter... 1,2,3 Fight~

After the BBQ, we were all thirsty and smelt like chicken wings and hotdogs.. haha.. And we decided to head to Mac Donald's to quench our dying thirst... Might be coz of the salt content of the food.. tsk tsk! unhealthy.. but i like =P We settled with a few drinks and warmed the seats at Mac Donald's till the wee hours of the morning.. We finally surrendered when birthday boy Benny raised the white flag.. haha!

Another COKTY+ gathering that ended vv late... hahaha! Wondered if we still have this kind of energy 10 yrs later.. =P But nevertheless, it was a great BBQ... I'm looking forward to the next BBQ =)
