i'm thinking of a short holiday to either cambodia or hong kong between 22nd - 26th March.
any takers?
anyway, for those clueless, i've tendered my resignation! i'll be starting my new position near end of march. hence, all the more i need a holiday!
moving on to the commercial world, annual leave is pathetic and little. not like my current job where i got to enjoy endless overtime leave.
*sigh* you win some, lose some.
sometimes, i find myself reconsidering my decision to leave. is it the right choice?
i need to discuss more with others to make myself more convinced of my decision.
anyway, i'm looking forward to this saturday! should be heading to zouk with my dear friends! its been TOO LONG! :)
had a fever yesterday night and spent most of today feeling terrible in my bed. luckily, i feel much better now. hopefully, i'll recover fully in time for this saturday! :)

for those who may not know yet, i've cut my hair! now i look like this:
anyway stop asking me why im cutting my hair when im getting married this year! the wedding is still a good 7 months away and i'm sure my hair will grow longer by then. also, i like myself in short hair. period.
i've a good weekend with dear dear. felt like we are out on a date once again. :)
though we didn't do much but just roam around orchard before settling for dinner at crystal jade. anyway, crystal jade queue is atrocious! singaporeans visit crystal jade like its just another mac! ridiculous!
at my house before we set off!
i love xiao long baO!
oh yah, we found a birthday bear whose date falls on our wedding date (25th Sept)! ah long was reluctant to buy it as usual, though it only costs $1.20! i got it myself in the end and made him take a picture with it. ha.
sunday was spent lazing at his house playing with that favourite baby of mine! but he doesn't smile as much when with me. bleh~
we went to our house to take a look again. its been nearly 1 month since i last went up!
here's some pictures for those who are interested.
master bedroom
master bedroom toilet
our living room
our dining area & foyer
our kitchen!
i can't wait for renovation to start soon! but deciding on a contractor can be a troublesome and time-consuming process. let's crossed our fingers and hope renovation will start by end March!

brokeback mountain
i'm in love with Jake Gyllenhall. :)
he was cute in "jarhead". he was cuter in "broke back".
in jarhead
jack! (right)
but i must admit, it was heath ledger who steal the show in brokeback. he was simply marvellous. he made me teared during the show, especially in the last scene of the show. *sigh* i want them to be together!
everyone out there, pls try to catch brokeback! it was really good. i was so moved by the love between them in the show. the notion "homosexuality" never ever crossed my mind once. it was just love.
alot of people love to argue with me that "hey, this is just a gay show!". but they are missing the whole point. they are just denying themselves of the chance to catch a superd show that really test one's definition of love.
like what one of the character's said during an interview:
"brokeback mountain is a place one doesn't have to live up to anyone's expectations or care about other's opinions.
everyone has their own brokeback mountain somewhere.
so if you bring someone to your own brokeback mountain and realise you still love him despite everything.
you do truly love him."
i would really love to watch the show again. that's all i know.

am i ready....
to start a new chapter in my (working) life?
after 2 and a half years in my current company, i'm suddenly faced with 2 new job offers. well, not suddenly but a result of nearly 2 months of mad frenzy of sending resumes, going for a handful of interviews and praying madly to get an offer. and finally, here they are.
and then.... i feel lost.
what an idiot. 2 questions to answer. which should i take up? should i leave my current firm?
1) which should i take up?
i know the sequence of questions is wrong but i really want to weigh the 2 options and try to visualise where will each one take me to.
after talking to numerous people (6 no less!) today, the fog started to clear a little. i guess i sorta know what i want, but i just need more assurance.
2) should i leave my current firm?
i guess the answer is quite obvious. i'm leaving.
or maybe not. sigh.
I'll miss the late office hours, the flexibility, the long leave, the pay prospects. but everything that is also good about the job is slowly leaving me the longer i stay on. my friends, job satisfaction, happiness. :(
i'll have to give both of them an answer by tomorrow. i guess 船到桥头自然直。whichever decision i make, i hope i've the strength to make it through. at least for 2-3 years before i start looking out for new positions again. ha.
some things never change. i love interviews! sick huh? :p

our 4th year anniversary!
12th feb 2006. yup, we have been together for 4 years!
it's great that we've fun yesterday as we've been planning for this day for weeks! thanks to credit card reward points, we were able to book a night at conrad for only 160 bucks nett. the room will cost us ard $300+ originally for a night! madness!
so we checked in at 1.30pm (earlier than the stated check-in time of 2pm, being kiasu singaporeans)! i love the hotel. some said its 5 stars, some even claimed it to be a 6. whatever, i love the place regardless! it was the most luxurious hotel i ever stayed in my entire life. we've a huge classic room on the 21st floor with great view (facing suntec & river), huge bathtub with complementary bath salts, bathrobes, super comfy bed, body moisturiser inclusive even! i love to stay in the room forever!
i love our room. cosy!
bathed & ready to go!
dear dear and me!
we set off to do some shopping at orchard. we tried the ice cream from gelatissimo at shaw centre. i love the texture! it's almost like those gelato i tasted at italy! but taste-wise, i find them a little thin. aint as sweet as bravissimo. but yummy nevertheless!
we tried tiramisu & veronese (actually it tasted like rocher) chocolate!
after, its shop shop shop for us! yes, US! even ah long bought a polo tee, a shirt and socks! wow, impressive for someone whom i'm accountable for half of his wardrobe. ha.
myself? i've been deprived for too long! my last clothing was bought during my sunway lagoon trip (remember? eons ago!) in mid-dec 2005!
in the end, i bought 2 pairs of shoes and ah long get me a top! :)
i love the green one especially. i hope they don't give me blisters! (crossed fingers)
i love black & pearls. perfect!
dinner time! again, with the help of credit card reward points, we got ourselves $50 voucher for menotti (at raffles city)!
dinner was good. i especially love their lagsane & warm chocolate cake. i love the way they keep the lagsane wet and generous with the cheese and meat bits in EVERY single layers! i prefer their cake over bakers inn's one too. theirs is different in that the chocolate doesn't ooze out. but the taste is really good! *yummy*
bb with his linguine with lobster meat
me & my fav lagsane!
ooh....warm chocolate cake!
we take a slow walk back to our hotel after dinner. the area at marina square & esplanade is lovely in the evening! we lazed around more in our room till 9pm and then it's movie time! we went to catch "jarhead" at marina GV! the show was alright, definitely better than "walk the line". it has its funny moments, but sam mendes failed to reach me the way he did with "american beauty". sigh, i want a good film! will "brokeback" this coming thursday be the answer?
we dropped by Pan Pac on our way back to hotel after the show. i live the louge ambience there! they have lovely decors, strings of lanterns. for the festive, perhaps?
nice!
woke up early this morning for our complimentary buffet breakfast at oscar's! i really feel like a goddamn tourist, ha! anyway, was greeted by this lovely view!
:) breakfast was fabulous. They served charwanmushi! fresh milk, tons of fruits, congee with pork floss, siew mai, waffles with nutella! okie, im easy to please.
okie, then it's back to civilisation for us. heh. though today IS the actual day for our 4th year anniversary, we felt beaten out. after checking out at 2pm today, we left for my home and napped most of the afternoon away. ha~
on the MRT. look! he's smiling! he enjoyed himself apparantly!

i can't believe it....
yes, i can't believe it. that I've been with him for 4 years already. technically, 4 years this coming sunday.
yup with this man.
he may not be the ideal boyfriend to some. heck, he's not my ideal boyfriend even. but, deep down, i know he's the best i can ever get.
he doesn't believe much in buying me flowers, nor springing me surprises. that's not to say he never do such things, just seldom.
he believes in making sure that i eat my meals properly. he believes in making me a better person. though that sometimes lead to arguments between us. lol~
i've my doubts about the relationship, before. especially during our first year together and when we both started working. i've wanted to give up on him and the relationship many times before. though many of my friends would say its all due to my own 钻牛角尖。but i stuck on, again and again. (well, you can say he stuck on to too. :P) why? many reasons.
the hardest period was when we both started working. so little time together and so much insecurity, mostly from me. he compromised a lot. he still does, now. i appreciate him for this.
my best and worst holidays was the same. europe (italy+france) trip in summer 2004. best because it was italy. worst because i've never been so sick before in all my overseas trips. i still remember, it was a sunday at disneyland. i was down with fever and threw up my dinner the night before. he advised me against the disneyland trip. but stubborne me insisted on it. i've fun that day (well, half of it). by 5pm, i ccould take it no more. i puked again and i felt like shit. in the end, i slept on his lap for 2 hours. and he just sat there, taking care of me the whole time. i remembered me thinking to myself then, i think he's someone who can take care of me. i think i can entrust myself in his care. and ever since, this memory always make me think twice when i was about to give up on the relationship.
and we look alike. umm.. at least i think so. ha
he makes me feel loved. everyday. from his simple messages to when he reaches for my hand if i ever walk a little further from him. that's why i'm still with this man.
yup, this man.
who'll do anything (well, almost anything...) to make me happy. he drew me the most horrible birthday cards ever. he accompanied me to overseas trips (un)willingly. he accompanied me to watch a lot of movies which he walked out with a huge scowl on his face (the latest being "walk the line"). he put up with my problem with puntuality (every)sometimes. he bought me little snacks (be it hello panda or jack n jill chips) whenever i pop over his place to stayover.
of cos, there is always room for improvement. he can learn to be more sensitive, less nonchalent, more romantic, less stingy, more accepting, less nagging, oh whatever. oh, he definitely can learn to smile more in photos!
no kidding. this is his normal expression. like the whole world owe him a freaking dollar.
but im happy with this man, still. so i guess you guys will still be seeing him around me. :)
okie, back to tomorrow. we are gonna celebrating our 4th year anniversary! it's gonna be the last time we are celebrating 12th Feb. next year onwards, there's gonna be only one date for anniversaries - 25th Sept! so we are gonna have fun on 12th Feb 2005. we are going to stay at conrad for a night tomorrow and count down to our anniversary! lol~ sound mad.
will post pictures of tomorrow soon!

my not-so-exciting CNY!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
its been a good break for me for the past 5 days. but as usual, good times pass too fast and its back to working for me tomorrow once again. bleh, what a letdown.
anyway, i've fun for this chinese new year. my time was all mainly spent at my house, ah long's house and my gramps. still, i managed to catch 2 movies, won some money (little bit which i spent on cab mostly, ha) in gambling and received more ang pow money than last year.
ang pow money: they came in handy! i've insurance premium (half-yearly) to pay this month end so there goes my ang pow money. this will be the last year i can receive ang pow. :( supposedly, we dont have to give out any during our first year of marriage next year but my relatives are hearing none of it. so there, dear dear and me are gonna be broke next year!
movies: i caught "fearless" & "memoirs of geisha" this new year.
everyone out there, please watch "fearless"! its fantastic! jet li really shows the world the real deal about chinese martial arts! worth 11/10!
memoir of geisha is just too draggy, too much weird translated analogies thrown around. in short, i wont recommend anyone to watch the film unless you really love to see zhang ziyi dances around madly.
okie, i just want to say i love movies and i want to catch the following films this new year (not in order):
1) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's chest
2) V for Vendetta
3) The Da Vinci Code
4) Sin City 2
5) X-Men 3
6) Jarhead
7) Brokeback Mountain
8) Walk the line
9) Munich
night, folks!

longggggg weekend for moi!
yippee yay yay! im officially in holiday mood! no work for me from 27th all the way to 31st! 5 freaking long daysssss!
hmm..but i hardly feel that its CNY now. more of like a short break for me. This is like the first year in my entire life where i didn't even get a single piece of new clothing for the new year! felt so weird. but im not too bothered with it.
sigh. i thought i had slowly gotten out of my depressed state. i guess not. im still kinda stuck in a rut. i really hope i'll be happier.
anyway, my interview this morning sucks BIG time! why must the interviewer be so hard on me!? hmm, blame it on my own lack of technical knowledge. whatever. guess im doomed to stay on in my firm in the near future at least.

i've got my keys!
yippee yay! finally i got my keys to my new house yesterday!
dear dear and i went to HDB hub around noon to settle the admin. you wouldn't believe the admin nonsense one has to go through before getting those keys (yay, a bunch of them. 24 in all!). we've to get fire insurance, home protection insurance etc. and there are so many documents to be signed (deed title, loan agreement etc), i'm sure we've signed off around 20+ times each! *admin madness*
and i realised im a true blue government pet. i signed off every document without batting an eyelid (ie, without checking at all). lol~ before long, the HDB stuff was asking us what is the loan period and mode of payment that we want. so when she click here click there on the green screen, i suddenly realised i've not a single cent left in my CPF! all 18k+ of them gone in a blinking of an eye! and dear dear and me are committed to pay the housing loan with our CPF for the next 25 years! *gasp* suddenly it dawned on me that continue working (till 49 at least) is the only way for me to pay my share. if i ever stop working, we've to top my portion with cash and i'll have no savings when i retired! the other way is for dear dear to earn more and pay for my portion. but easier said than done *sobz* there goes my tai tai lifestyle. bleh~
whatever. we brought mum up to our new place to take a peek. it looked incredibly small! and we thought our 4-room is supposedly bigger than the old design, since it stands at 100sqm. the kitchen and master is ridiculous. i can go from one end to another by a few leaps! everyone told us that after renovation and painting, the place will look more spacious and all. let's cross our fingers and hope thats really the case.
will post some pictures of my house when i'm free!
work is as blah as ever. no mood to talk about it. lets just hope im lucky in my interview coming thursday. then i can say bye-bye forever to my current job!

and i realised im a true blue government pet. i signed off every document without batting an eyelid (ie, without checking at all). lol~ before long, the HDB stuff was asking us what is the loan period and mode of payment that we want. so when she click here click there on the green screen, i suddenly realised i've not a single cent left in my CPF! all 18k+ of them gone in a blinking of an eye! and dear dear and me are committed to pay the housing loan with our CPF for the next 25 years! *gasp* suddenly it dawned on me that continue working (till 49 at least) is the only way for me to pay my share. if i ever stop working, we've to top my portion with cash and i'll have no savings when i retired! the other way is for dear dear to earn more and pay for my portion. but easier said than done *sobz* there goes my tai tai lifestyle. bleh~
whatever. we brought mum up to our new place to take a peek. it looked incredibly small! and we thought our 4-room is supposedly bigger than the old design, since it stands at 100sqm. the kitchen and master is ridiculous. i can go from one end to another by a few leaps! everyone told us that after renovation and painting, the place will look more spacious and all. let's cross our fingers and hope thats really the case.
will post some pictures of my house when i'm free!

i hate working on weekends!
i worked from 12-6 today. :( today is a saturday. and i've to go back to work tomorrow too! i hate working over the weekends! the crowd thronging through orchard looked so happy!
on a happy note, i caught "elizabethtown" today! was really having a tough time deciding between "in her shoes" and this show. in the end, my colleagues dissuaded me from "in her shoes" since both of them caught it and dismissed it as "nothing fantastic". so i went for "elizabethtown" in the end.
it aint too bad. i like the plot but i think the show would be better if the actor and actress are not orlando and kristen dunst. and it boosts one of the best soundtracks for the year (umm...include 2005 as well).
ona happier note, bb is coming back tomorrow night! he just called me from NYC-JFK airport that he's boarding the flight in an hour time! ":) tomorrow night this time, i'll be with him! i'm over the moon!
i cant stop listening to jay's 发如雪。 the lyrics is so pretty!
髮如雪
Composer: 周杰倫 Lyricist: 方文山
狼牙月 伊人憔悴
我舉杯 飲盡了風雪
是誰打翻前世櫃 惹塵埃是非
緣字訣 幾番輪迴
i妳鎖眉 哭紅顏喚不回
縱然青史已經成灰 我愛不滅
繁華如三千東流水
我只取一瓢愛了解
只戀妳化身的蝶
妳髮如雪 淒美了離別
我焚香感動了誰
邀明月 讓回憶皎潔
愛在月光下完美
妳髮如 紛飛了眼淚
我等待蒼老了誰
紅塵醉 微醺的歲月
我用無悔 刻永世愛妳的碑
啦兒啦 啦兒啦 啦兒啦兒啦
啦兒啦 啦兒啦 啦兒啦兒啊
銅鏡映無邪 紮馬尾
妳若撒野 今生我把酒奉陪
okie, i shall work for 4 hours at most tomorrow! looking forward to tomorrow!! cos bb will be back!

happy holiday!
hullo everyone, happy holiday! its been raining non-stop these few days and everywhere is damn cold! brr~ my room feels air-conditioned even when i didn't even switch on the fan! 这雨让人好累！
anyway, dear dear has arrived safely at washington! really happy to receive his calls yesterday! the time zone difference still requires some adjusting though. like its 1 pm at my side now but its 12 midnight over at his side! so technically, i'm well into tuesday already but his monday just ended. ha. whatever, i hope he stays warm and safe over there. and come back soon!!
i miss you. *sobz*
i'm going to accompany mummy dearest for some shopping later. perhaps i can grab some clothes for chinese new year myself! but i'm really broke this month. maybe i wont buy any new clothings at all since there are a few dresses in my wardrobe that i've only worn once. i shall recycle them for CNY. :p sounds pathetic! i need cash!! any sponsors out there!?
sigh. i shall wait for my jan pay to come in soon so that i can pay my credit card bills. can life be any sadder than this? on a happier note, i'm feeling a little happier now. still get a little depressed now and then but i'll live. 做人要尽量让自己开心一点！

a little depressed..
feeling a little depressed this week. now trying hard to get out of my depressed state. dear dear has been very supportive of me and he had been trying hard to cheer me out of it. i'm really trying hard to move on and be positive. let's hope everything will be better and i'll be happy again.
dear dear will not be by my side for this week. his company has sent him to USA for work. just sent him off at the airport just now. poor him, the flight duration to and back is gonna be long. and given the lousy weather now, i'm a little worried for him. hope he'll have a safe journey to there and back to me soon.
weekend comes and goes. but i dont really care. jan has never been my favourite month since i joined my firm. the faster jan is over, the better. furthermore i really need time and energy now to handle my stuff.
*sigh* i just want tomorrow to be better and that i'll be happy again.

resolutions for 2006!
i'll jump straight to the point!
1) same as last year, to drink lotsa water even if i don't feel thristy. even if my skin doesn't appear hydrated, i'm still gonna do it! water is good for health!
2) i'll try to exercise in this coming this year at least once a week! i'll start this wed! 加油！healthy living, here i come!
3) try my best to work with dear dear to make the preparations for my wedding as smooth as possible and to build our lovenest up!
4) to put in more effort to spend time with my family. having said that, it doesnt mean that im an infilial daughter/bad sister. just that more patience and time shall be given by me to my family this year and in the future!
5) to travel to new places! greece, turkey, cambodia, beijing etc, here i come!
6) to get a new job by end of the year LATEST that pays relatively well and has reasonably well job prospects. audit is a bad industry to stay in for too long. your friends start to leave and you get lonely. not to mention the stress and work level that increase exponentially!
okie, just the above. short and sweet! and above all, achievable. :)

Goodbye 2005.....~
2005 really flew past in a flash! inspired by shirley's blog, i'll do a brief summary of my 2005 chronologically. ha~
Jan: peak period for me. really worked my ass off (contrary to popular belief that i'm a slacker). hey! i did work till 1 am before okie!
had my first brazilian wax...all i can say is *ouch*. not to mentioned pricey too! it's around $80 for a session at Visage.
Feb: it's chinese new year! i had fun for 2005 CNY, hanging out with my cousins and all on 初一。i even chill out with my 2 表弟s on 除夕夜 till the wee hours! been ages since we last did that!
it's also dear dear and my 3rd year anniversary on the 12th! i can still remember, we've fun at clarke quay that night.
Mar: i got my wisdom tooth extracted! *pain* costs me a hundred and made me went through a week of pain and no intake of some of my favourite food. Bleh~
i applied for ICPAS, a progession step on my career path. ha, sound terribly professional and important.
Apr: worst month. nothing spectacular happened this montH!
May: off to China with fiona & chee yong as mentioned in previous posts. also meaning to say the start of my month long leave. wahhah.
June: off to korea with mummy dearest and brother. meaning to say end of month long leave. *sobz*
July: attended the ICPAS one-week long course and took its exams on the last day of the course.
off to BKK with ah long! i lurve the place! food and shoopping!
Aug: notified by ICPAS that I've passed the course! officially a provisional CPA member. by sept 2006, i'll be an actual CPA member (i still lacked the experience). *woohoo*
attended womad and ah long proposed to me on the 27th. :)
Sept: we balloted for the new flats at Bukit Merah (opp. redhill mrt). were really keping our fingers crossed, hoping that priority will be given to us since we are first timers applying for HDB and the fact that resale flats are so much more expensive and we love the location!
Oct: was busy with planning for our wedding the whole month! all weekends were burned from visiting bridal boutiques and photography studios. in the end, we finally decided on our bridal boutique, photograhers and banquet venue! oh, this blog was started in Oct too!
Nov: Balloting results was out! we got shortlisted!
signed up for exotic dance with candice, tanny and grace! had tons of fun so far! i really hope to advance to exotic module 2 but got to assess my financial position again..
Dec: went to bintan with colleagues and sunway lagoon with dear dear.
went to select our unit and was notified that we'll be collecting the keys end-jan! got to start planning on renovations now!
it's xmas! had crazy fun with my peeps!
it's my birthday! last day of the month too. how irritating! when everyone loves to celebrate the end of my birthday. bleh~
my birthday is so special, it deserves another paragraph by itself!
my birthday
dear dear stayed over at my house the night before my birthday. so when the time past 12, i made him sing happy birthday to me! haha.
dear dear & me setting off from my house!
the next day (31st dec!), we went to suntec and just had fun walking around. we visited harvey norman to check out pricing on electrical appliances. ha, what a way to spend my birthday huh?
after that, dear dear bought me to eat at ichiban boshi at suntec! i love salmon sashimi! *yummy*
i love sushi!
we loiter around raffles city after dinner. specifically robinson to check out mattress, kitchen appliances etc. umm....very not happening hor? lol~
near eleven, we went up raffles the plaza to find suling and her friends. they rented a room for the night so we can watch fireworks in comfort!
me and suling
fireworks!~ awwwww.....
looking back, 2005 aint too bad after all. i've been to some places and enjoyed myself thoroughly in more than a few occasions.
more 'ups' than 'downs' with my dear dear for this year. really glad that we are getting more stable (i used to detest a relationship that enter a "stable" phrase for i associate stability with mundane, routine activities. but now i feel that stability come about when more faith and trust are put in a relationship. with that, i'm more accepting with the word "stable" being used on us. ha!) as we are about to proceed to another stage of our lives together later this year!
my family, friends and all my close one (including myself) are all healthy and doing fine. i guess that's something i should be really thankful about!
okie, i guess im ready to welcome 2006! may it be a better year for everyone and myself!

merry x'mas 2005!
MERRY X'MAS!!!!!
yup, it's my favourite day of the year again! by that, i refer to x'mas eve! yesterday has been tons of fun for me! i met up with dear dear in town to catch "king kong". the plot was so-so but i love the effects. oh, and i cried when kong died and slided off the building :P. and i wish to clarify certain things to mad D & JX here:
i DONT have heart-shaped nostrils so im NOT queen kong.
ZM is too tanned now to be Ann darow
SH, grace and candice are still qualified to be those T-rex though :).
make GB the kodomo dragon eaten by those T-rex instead. muhaha.
tanny will still be the unlucky (unlucky, but never die in the show at least..) bat.
JX will be the old native woman, courtesy of mad D.
mad D will thus have to be one of those giant leeches who got chopped off. *evil laugh*
and the show was darn long, 3 hours!!. i've to take toilet break which i insist, is RARE, for me.
dear dear and I had dinner at NYDC later.
i love their baked rice! *YUMMY*
i had gift exchange with bb on x'mas eve eve already. this is my 4th x'mas with him! but i'm still very happy to spend it with him. :)
ah long with my x'mas prezzie for him!
ah long with one of my gifts for him! a zhu zhu just like him!
as for his x'mas prezzie for me? i got it long ago at sunway lagoon! its da pink panther skirt wahhaha. i love it so much at first sight, hence he offered to buy for me as x'mas prezzie. yup, im disgusting...i wore it many times like way before x'mas day itself. ha~
after dinner with him, dear dear was a sweetie to send me to eunos before i went off to meet the usual "king kong" gang at east coast. we took alot of crazy photos, did more crazy things, esp mad D (you'll see why later!).
we met up at kenny rogers before setting off to chill out at the beach!
we were slowly but surely going mad, absolutely without the help of alcohol. look at us posing with all sort of rubbish things!
we just settled on our beach mats when mad D started his mad antics! look carefully at the black striped thingy round his chest.. YES! thats my cardi! i told you he's MAD!
we popped our first red wine soon after and zm caught on the mad virus soon. here he was pretending the cork to be a cigar. gou le, zm! stop your "act-cool" posing!
if i'm not wrong, we drank like 3 bottles of red wine and 1 champagne between the 7 of us? correct me if i'm wrong! and we started playing truth or dare. yes, at age 24 we are still doing bo liao things like this. and anyway, its more like truth or truth, for the dare is by default "eat a mouthful of sand". lol~ so everyone opted for truth automatically. as i said, we were mad yesterday!
look carefully! zm is still continuing his "hey i got a cork, nope make that cigar between my fingers" stunt!
so we played truth or truth and let me tell you, its amazing how one can sprout all kind of (true) nonsense under the influence of alcohol. let's just say that we learnt each other dark (and i really mean, DARK) secrets yesterday and yes, we wont be seeing each other for the next 6 months till time allows us to forget about yesterday.
mad D is at it again! that's my x'mas prezzie for JX and again, he has to stretch spoilt all our clothing!
umm... mad D at work again...umm...
yeah! we are the evil trio!
all in all, i really had tons of fun yesterday! much better than squeezing alongside with bangla or those teenagers who spray all kind of nonsense on you at orchard!
友情万岁！
