Granduncle's 80th Birthday

Its my dearest Granduncle's 80th Birthday in November 2009!

Its the exact day instead of the Chinese tradition of celebrating it one or two years earlier.

Mummy booked a table over at my house nearby coffee shop, and it was a treat from Granduncle.

There were about a total of 9 of us, and it was really a feast! (My family, Kim's family, His grandson and daughter-in-law)

Unfortunately I wasn't feeling that well on that day, and have to refrain from eating spicy stuffs.

Fish Head steamboat, crabs, and the usual normal dishes..

Everyone had a great time, and seeing that smile from Granduncle's face really warms out hearts!

An awesome man he is.. taking care of almost everything and everyone in the family..

From my mum's generation and now to us..

Picking and Sending me to school when I'm young,

Helping Daddy with his delivery even when he's really old..

Doing all the technical stuffs whenever our families faces a problem.

From the ceiling to the water pipes..

Every single thing is being well taken off under his hands.

Never give up spirit.. to ensure that everything is done.

80 years old and still going strong..

From encouraging us youngsters to take the stairs till now that he is taking the lift himself when coming over to my place..

It really amuses us at times.. Making fun of him at times.. but deep down, we know that he is really old and should slow down his pace..

Let him do whatever he wants and likes..

We still love him no matter what.

 

We ordered a cake for him, and tried to find the best.. but with a budget constrain.

Its his first time having a rather big birthday celebration,

and his first time cutting a cake..

We wanted to make it the most memorable time for him..

The grand-children shared the price of the cake.

The pictures taken on that day are rather priceless..

His smile when all of us give him a kiss on his cheek and took a picture..

When all of us gathered around him to sing him a birthday song and take a group picture..

His smile.. so heart warming.. =)

Pictures speaks a thousand words..

UPDATES!! like finally..

Alright... I've just typed a long post using Google Chrome.. and it just screwed up when im trying to post pictures..

Here goes the blog entry AGAIN. (i did not save it)

I feel that its time that i get my butt down to start blogging again.. Tons of things to update, and tons of pictures to upload.

Oh, I'm now blogging on my new laptop, cos my Lenovo Thinkpad R60 has given up on me.. Sent for reformat in school, Lenovo Service Centre changed my wiireless card and paid them 30bucks to reformat to original OS, but still problem is still there, or even worse.

Im now using a Lenovo B450 that cost 900bucks. Got it from a warehouse sales over at AudioHouse, with sponsor from Granduncle. =)

However, my R60 is still slightly better as it has got the Bluetooth function which i depend on HEAVILY. Luckily, my B450 has got a card reader. Worse thing is... my phone's driver is unable to run on Windows 7, and i cant sync most of the things that i have in my phone, so i would have to use the card reader now. Still miss my R60 tons.. and its being kept in my cupboard for good!

Pics of my old and new baby up next! And would continue blogging about those listed above. =)

 

New baby on the left, old baby on the right. Old baby's current state is not like that though. Its keyboard was decorated with stickers. This is a super duper old pic already as i have not been using the keyboard protector for a long long time.  Love them both! =D

 

To my old baby:

Thanks for going through thick and thin with me for the past 2+yrs..

You're really awesome and I appreciate it!

Luv Luv!!

outdated MAKAN post

alrighty... a one week late post on my favourite makan place!

All my favourite dishes in one very accessible location!

Geylang Lorong 9!

Handmade Mee Hoon Kuey, Fried Oyster, BBQ Stingry!! YUMMYYYYYYYYYY!!!! ^ ^

Just thinking of it is making my stomach GROWL!

Well... all this yummy food comes once in a short while cos mummy is not cooking.. and it was a random decision to go there for Mee Hoon Kuey.

The 3 princesses of my family's favourite food since young! =))

The food there is quite reasonably price i feel. $3.50 for MHK.. $4 for Fried Oyster.. $10 for Stingry.. Well Stingry is not really value-for-money la. but i feel that its fine! Stingry is not the main aim that im there.. cos mummy makes nice Stingry too. for a MUCH affordable price.

 

Have been wanting to take pics every single time i go..

but

end up.. was too hungry till i cant wait animore.. or the lighting was really bad.

 

alrighty.. shall stop nagging and blah blah.. ending post with the food pics! dun look very attractive cos i took it with my Jet with 5MP. =)

 

TATA pple!! (if theres actually pple reading) =))

Long Post

Been close to a month since i've last blogged.

Nothing much been happening.. shall jus update for wad happened this week cos what happened previously i cant really remember much.

Previous week is a rather stressful and tiring week. feeling very lazy to attend school and all. FYP team almost failed as we are unable to find a client to approve us, and WingTai sorta played a fool on us last min by rejecting us when we have already submitted the proposal. Nancy kept threatening to fail us. Class  is rather normal.. not one sem that i would enjoy a lot. Facis are boring and naggy.. Last Sem, gotta bear with it!

Attended aunt's wedding few weeks ago. She's really gorgeous. =)

Furama Hotel staff are rather EXTRA. they love to stand in front of me whenever im taking pictures or videos.

Cheesecake making session for IKK. Helped sis here and there. Not much pictures though

Had Nyonya dinner last saturday. Was supposed to have Teochew porridge, but the place was fulled, and we had to wait. So walked further down to this Nyonya restaurant. The food was kinda nice, but as compared to what i had in Melaka, theres still much room for improvement. The main dishes are good, but the dessert was terrible, which spoils everything.

Only managed to take one picture of the main dish though. Ayam Curry! YUMS!

My dessert was the one with the ice cream on top which tastes very weird and not to my liking. Mom had bohbohchacha. (i have no idea how to spell) which is okie i felt. Chendoh was out of stock. Kang Kong is so so.. The other two dishes other than kangkong are Ayam Curry (it comes in a claypot), and this Red Snapper Fillet with Sweet Sambal. Overall, 7/10 ba.. the service was good. =)

I'm BACK!

I'm finally blogging after like more than 1 month. So much things have happened.

Things that happned during this 1 month plus:

- 8 days collaboration with Adidas Originals.

- School has started, and its now a 4 day week

16th September - 24th September

The collaboration with Adidas is pretty much a good experience. A team of 11 people, with 7 from RP, and the other 4 are staffs from Adidas.

Its a no pay job as Adidas replaced the cash with products, which are pretty old series and definitely not worth the amount of effort that we put in at all.

Day 1 - Tagging of products at Warehouse

Day 2 - Collection of products and arrangement of products for sale

Day 3 to 7 - 12 hours of work everyday, 1 off day and 2 hours of break with meal sponsored.

Day 8 - "stock taking" at warehouse(which is not needed at all)

The people from Adidas are kind souls, and treat everyone very well. Especially Rudy aka botak and Jeremy who spent much effort guiding us and being patient. The RP team of students inclusive of Mable, Asrizal, Binggong, Leonard, Simran and Denise. Most of them are my juniors, friendly and playful batch of people. Was really glad that they are very co-operative and easy to lead unlike the team that has collaboration with Adidas and Fairmont which tarnished RP's reputation badly. Very tiring as we have to stand 12 hours everyday, folding of clothes that is messed up by customers and getting shoes for customers. Not many difficult customers since its a sale.

Pretty blur picture cos i think Binggong's hand is shaky. Overall its a rather fun experience and had great fun working with the whole team.

5th October - 9th October

School has started for a week. Super duper tiring i feel as its a 4 day week, and my off day is a tuesday. I've bought the recommended textbooks for two modules, and its really heavy to carry my lappie and the textbook to school! Shoulders are aching and i'm worried that my bag might give way anytime.

Went to Pacific Plaza to change my Diesel Jeans to some other products which are Jacket and a Polo Tee. Was glad to have the company of Christina, as we both have the same off day, and she know botak as well. Lunched at Far East Plaza Ramen Ten, cross over to PP and back to Far East Plaza for shopping. I didn't buy anything but Christina bought a pair of 5 - inch heel! Then fake lashes and went to meet her friend to get her BB silicon case. Went to have dessert, more shopping and sit down to have a rest before she meet her friend for dinner at GoodWood Park Hotel. Home sweet after her fren arrived.

Some pics that Christina took of me while eating.

Today, I bought a new table from IKEA! Lunch at Bedok and grocery shopping at Sheng Siong. Aunt wanna buy some spring rolls from IKEA before heading to Auntie Irene house to pass her something. Bought a new  for only $39! Jogging during the evening and yummy dinner thereafter!

Hectic week i've spent. Gonna do housework tml. TIRED!

Sales AGAIN + Yummy Dinner

Went to the sales AGAIN, this time to get Lacoste snickers. I nagged at my mom for quite awhile, and psycho-ed her to sponsor half the price of the shoes. but when my sister and her bf left, she was still unwilling to. so i went back to watch my 2PM shows. Who knows, my mom suddenly tapped my shoulder and ask if i still wanna go to the sales alone and find my sister there.She's wiling to pay $30 for it! Mad happy. Quickly changed and rushed down to the sales and asked my sister to wait for me there. WHO KNOWS, when i was there, they had down priced the shoes to jus $39!! very very excited! Went to find my sister in the shop, and she bought a pair of running tights (dunno wads that called), and then she went to help me choose the color for my snickers. End of the day, she manage to get a pair of CHIO sandals for $39, and i got my Snickers in black at $39! happy!

MY BUYS from the Warehouse Sale!

After the sale, took a bus to my aunt hse which was only a few bus stops away. Waited in her house before she come back, and we drove her car to Geylang East for Claypot Rice. however, it was closed. thus we ended up at our favourite Mee Hoon Kuey stall at Geylang Lor 19! Fried Oyster, Stingry, Mee Hoon Kuey and Home - made barley for dinner! YUMMY!!

Home sweet after dinner~!

Sales + Threading

Its hols now, and i'm feeling super bored at home. jobless.

Went to the Royal Sporting House Warehouse Sales on Thursday. The sales is freaking near my place. I love staying at Joo Seng, where there are plenty of WAREHOUSE SALES going on throughout the year. ( Just need to find out what sale is going on and such)

Thursday, it was  random suggestion by Ah Yi to go to the sales, as she need to get a pair of sandals for my cousin. The place is freaking warm, though there is a section where its air-conditioned. Walked around, wanting to get a Adidas shirt but the design is weird. In the end, I bought a Le Coq Sportif sling bag (small) and a Nike Laptop Sleeve. Total only cost me $44! Awesome buys! On my way out, a pair of Lacoste shoes caught my eye! but its $59, which is pretty much out of my budget.

Pick sis up with my aunt, after she ended work, and headed to Little India for threading! Not me though. My cousin and sis did.  It feels really painful seeing them do it as my cousin who is a first timer was screaming and making a lot of noise while doing so. Thread their eyebrows, and waxed their upper lips.

 

Cousin threading her eyebrow and waxing her upper lip. She cant smile in the pic as the wax has already harden. kinda funny. =X

Dinner and home sweet!! =)
