our take-the-city-walk with touch seniors & lotsa ethelonter ppl... whoohoo.. see the big birdy, got jooch yinggai sitting there. two birds. and the elderly are v cute & more energetic than us (lijie seconds this).

my cousin's wedding is during CNY next yr, so my 2 aunts my mum and myself are planning to dress up in the traditional peranakan kebaya. my grandma's nonya, so that makes me a quarter nonya. interesting ya? anyway my aunt bought the brown one for $90, and i borrowed the blue one from my grand aunt. and it costs $400. faints. cos its all hand sewn and very intricate. i darent even wash it. so its sitting in my cupboard, i hope, safely, till CNY come round again.
in case u're wondering, no i am not gg to wear a sarong. it will drop. i am wearing a sarong-based A-line skirt that i have yet to buy. went to arab street and there's millions of them. spoilt for choice. so if u guys wanna go dress up one day, just go to arab street for lotsa cloth, lotsa old traditional stuff.

oriental. haha.
funny how sometimes ur culture hits you. suddenly. like living ur life day-to-day then u think about how the olden times used to be, when ppl dressed up so nicely, and paid so much attention to embroidery. now i kinda understand why my grandma got upset with printed t-shirts. she says they are not worth wearing haha.
so intricate.

my baby niece aliana (means provider of light) during the hols, went to KL for a couple of days, then to terengganu.. they stay in putrajaya, and i watched barney and fwens most of the day. and slept when she slept. and ate when she ate. and drew while she tried to draw. haha. babies. she talks in a hi pitch voice and quotes nursery rhymes better than me. really. re-living my nursery days. however nursery rhymes dun really seeem to b the norm in sgp.. i miss nursery rhymes, realise some of them are quite morbid like humpty dumpty falling off the wall, and ding dong bell with a pussy in the well. even pop goes the weasel. like some may say, morbidity creeps into life in childhood. who knows?

my pharm sister xq is a cock. haha.

today she asked me on msn if 'vaginal thrust is genetic'. i think she meant to ask if 'vaginal thrush' is genetic. sounds so obscene.

then she complains of the wed assignment we hv and she cant access pubmed. then tues assignment also.. which we will both piah on tues morn. ahha. alot of shit. but i hv to do my hospital report on top of everything. then she says 'you more shit'. think u forgot to insert a 'got' somewhere la xq. haha.

year4! new term! week one only yet we had a test on day3. and pharm law nv come out. i feel so gek. faints faints faints.

but we make each other happy. xq say if our 2nd hand textbk is sold then she'll treat me to chengteng and vice-versa. but huirei refuses. no one will treat her if we win. upset.

pharm sisters rule!!! haha! =)

on the 3rd, 4th and 5th i went to KL!!! took the night train & the berth was sooo cosy.. haha! food food and shopping shopping and fun fun. i must say the food there is fantabulous. u know, like the road stalls. chk out the o-luat. its amazing texture, the egg's so crisp, hardly any starch, and the oysters tt almost-got-us-into-trouble are simply bursting with flavour. oyster flavour. yummy yummy goes my tummy!

OK. besides this there's the delectable bak kut teh. also very yummy, but i think its overpriced at myr$10. faints. so many stalls, i could just go on eating and eating, but before that we went to a fake-sit-down japanese restaurant for squid, toufu and miso soup so unfortunately i couldnt eat anymore. & i didnt take photo... ahhh... was even eyeing the next table's chicken rice which looked really succulent.. ahhh... food!!!

you know, suddenly i feel like those eating shows u know. where u see the tv host eating and eating. now i wouldnt mind that for a job. goodness.

then for dinner we went to kenny rogers. no photo again, no prizes for guessing, it went straight into our mouths. ahha. ok i went to china town and there again we ate... this guilinggao with honey. from a chinese bowl and from a chinese teapot! ha! chk out the chinese words in the background.. ching ching ching. dun look at my hair. hair messy.

and the next day for lunch we ate at this nice restaurant. the food, needless to say, was yummy. goodness gracious. it was an eating holiday and an _ _ holiday. totally wonderful! =)

noooooooooo. holidays are ending. so upset. nooooooooooo.

but looking back, i certainly hv been busy. the last 3 month holiday of my life. i feel so sad. nevertheless, my holiday is fun, i must say. better write down wt i did, if not i'd feel my holiday just flew past. next time when i'm trapped at work, holiday-less... i'll sit back and remember.. i want to re-live it!

week1
day 1 of liberation was spent having lunch with lijie xq and huirei. then we went shopping. haha. a girl's time out. chk out xq picture at this vege-chinese restaurant we ate at.. food not bad, and xq and i ate there with lijie about 2 yrs ago! my fwens! =)

27th & 28th i was in the clubrm packing flyers into plastic bags for proj c.a.n. 10 000 bags. madness. 10 000 bags. expert packer: melvin. slowest packer: sweesung. haha.

29th i went to the esplanade to watch lilo & stitch. did u know u can rent the rooms there to watch vcd. its great..

30th i went to sungei buloh. talk about a happening holiday. back to nature. haha. saw a big lizard swimming in the sungei. or is it swimming in the buloh. anyways. then i went to do some recee for CAN.

1st was paint-a-home! my very first SP that i joined as a freshie.. csc has indeed come a long way from there... My PAH men - cheeky, Robbie and evil yc, you 3-in-1 are a fantastic combination. we painted a 54m long outdoor mural.. i was painting w kkl & jk & ritchie.. we went mad lor. starting singing "we are csc" etc... and i called kkl a cock. and he did some obscene gesture. go ask him to demo. faints. then i went to the girls dorm to paint it pink, joined in the games with the kids (a while only. haha. children and me bo ngiam.) then joined grp4 at the boys dorm, all blue. basically floated everywhere. so exhaused. ha! after tt, a whole bunch of us went to chomp chomp to eat.. and i took bloody bus 81 home which took 1hr. NEVER take 81. faints.

now looking back at the PAH pictures, just feel a sense of pride. how the oc had worked so hard for this, even selling cookies. how we changed that home to what it is now. its not just simply painting, but to see everyone scraping walls, splattered with colours everywhere, its the spirit that our club has, to come down for a day of hot hotness, sweating it all out to make a home seem more like a home for others. my club. =)
