chronicles of my holidays

I'm finally back with pictures in tow, be prepared for a long post! =D

Let me start from the sentosa chalet which was supposed to be a belated birthday celebration for 3. but two of them didn't turn up (couldn't blame them cos we didn't tell them haha!) so it ended up becoming my birthday celebration instead! which was quite apt too, since the people i invited are all my friends. haha! too bad i couldn't invite more, as the chalet is really pretty small. =/ (imagine a normal hotel room)

but the experience was surreal though. =) i got my wish of having my friends sing 'happy birthday' to me, and i felt really really loved at that time :)

let's bring on the pictures!


Photobucket
gift from chrys and ling-er =) 'grown-up' ribena - aka blackberries wine. it tasted really sweet, and had a nice smell to it too


Photobucket
my mahjong table was put to good use haha

Photobucket
thanks so much for readily agreeing to come when i first asked! =) you two don't know how much it meant to me


Photobucket
we played charades and pictionary late into the night! it was hilariously fun, with all the weird words like 'beard papa cream puffs' and 'bubble tea'. this is siew's drawing of.... Jay Chou!!!!


Photobucket

Photobucket
and of course, the SB2 buddies :) the core of many happy memories and without miss mieh, i will have no one to have steamboat cravings with, to talk about whatever, to confess many things, to satisfy weird fetishes with, and basically to havoc with me. :D we are the silliest people on earth!


Photobucket
deliciously happy :D


Photobucket
siew: "this looks like a production line in the factory."

Photobucket
yeah the chicken wings :D


Photobucket
mahjong session at curtiz's house - me being the 'advisor' though i was on phone most of the time, sorry guys!! had to discuss some youth expedition project stuff with mavis :) this task is really daunting (1001 things to consider! i bet there's more than that), with both of us being new leaders and all. i don't have much confidence in pulling it off, but i will try my best. :)


Photobucket
my cooking fetishes this holidays. lasagne! i bet you don't know what the hell it is.


Photobucket
extremely salty. =/


Photobucket
10 dollars KTV lounge's shark's fin soup. it tasted quite good! it's a good place actually, if you can find it. haha! there's good food below too, with the food street just at the foot of the building. yums :D


Photobucket

Photobucket
5 hours is totally not enough, though we both had a mike throughout. hahaa


Photobucket

Photobucket
debut trip to heartland malls with shuhui! our first stop is AMK hub, and we ate at sumo house, which claims to have the cheapest japanese fare in singapore. haha! with their katsu don at $2.90 (before GST), i wouldn't be surprised! but my friend warned me not to eat that though. try their udon, it's quite nice :D tempura's okay too.


Photobucket
yummy gyoza, though i suspect it's those instand kind. well, i cook it all the time at home. haha
