CNY 2006
Saturday, January 28, 2006
With the Chinese New Year around the corner, my dad decided to renovate the house a little. I haven't been resting well lately. Waking up early in the morning to move stuff around the house, doing major spring cleaning at home. Well, at least that's good for me as I have got loads of stuff to clear. After the cleaning, my room seems so much neater, but empty.
Okay, considering that I am a messy person, this is quite neat already.
Yesterday, I went back to school to visit the teachers and to see my friends. Goodness, it has been such a long time since I saw them. Wei Joe, Vanessa, Samuel, Erwin and Jian Yong are now in ACJC, and when I saw them, they began filling me with information about ACJC. Like how cute the guys are there, how tough the PE is, how cool the facilities there are. They even have a sauna and steambath. Haha, I even heard that Vanessa goes to the swimming pool after school to check out the water polo players. After that, we went to SIM to have lunch. My god, I miss the chicken cream pasta SO much, to my disappointment, they sold out the chicken cream pasta. Damm, I MUST have it before leaving the country.
I went down to the lawyer's office to get my visa done and after that went shoppping for the house with my mum. These few days, I have been running errands for my mum. Doing a lot of shopping for the new year. I also tried my hands on pineapple tarts. They turned out not bad, but I did not let it cool enough thus it grew some fungus and I had to dump them. Bloody hell, wasted my whole afternoon.
Chinese New Year means collecting lots of ang pows, gathering with the family and catch up with each other. Not to mention, pineapple tarts, ba kwa, kueh bankit, love letters. Have to watch what I am stuffing into my mouth.
I got my new clothes two days ago. A black cheongsam with fuschia and lime green trimmings. Bought a pair of fuschia killer heels from lulu to match. The heels were such a steal. Got it at $84 after a 50% off. Heh, I can never resist a steal like that.
Enjoy the Chinese New Year and have a great year!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Saying Goodbyes
Friday, January 20, 2006
Had a chat with Aufar. He is leaving Singapore for overseas studies too. Like me, he has been dreaming of studying overseas for a long time. Only when Dream comes true, I wish I have never made that wish at all. I hate saying 'Goodbye'. Sometimes, thinking of leaving my friends, family, Kwan, my life, Everything behind here just makes me tear. It is not easy to let go of the sixteen years of my life here. All the fun, joy, laughters and tears.
Kwan is entering the army. No worries, as I will be seeing him soon. But not for long tho. It is okay, Absence makes the heart yonder. It scares me, how quickly we are to be seperated as we got together. Definately going to miss a lot of things. Being with him, cooking, running, long walks, him reading me poems, discussing about recipes on the bus, having meals, spending time with his family, bollywood dancing and loads more.
I am so going to miss him.
Adieu.

Paula's 18th Birthday
Saturday, January 07, 2006
According to the Filipino traditions, when a girl turns 18, it is the time when she is ready to enter society and is available for marriage. It is also the day when she is truly a princess for the day.
It is true. When I attended Paula's 18th birthday on the 6th of Jan, she was truly The Princess. On the eve of her birthday, I was at her place, doing a crash course of waltz. I had to learn the waltz as I am part of her 18 candles. Traditionally, 18 roses(the males) and 18 candles(the ladies) would start the ball by waltzing, followed by the debutante and her escort.
I arrived at the YWCA in a rush. Dressed in my OBS polo tee and my running shorts, hair in a mess, without makeup, I managed to get changed, makeup and look presentable in 10 minutes. Ha, now that's an acheivement. =) After that, I rushed to the ballroom and joined the rest for a last minute rehearsal.
After that, we went to the buffet table. There was this particular thing that caught my eye.
Chocolate Fondue!!!
Boy, I went nuts when I saw this! With trays of strawberries, grapes, kiwis, marshmallows and biscuits!!! I parked myself at that table, stuffing chocolate coated strawberries into my mouth. Until Conan have to remind me of my diet. Oops.
Photo-whoring. And Conan just HAD to give us the finger.
Haha, sometimes we like to act retarded.
How sweet. =)
Conan the barbarian with huge boobs.
Paula dancing with one of the 18 roses.
The 18 candles giving a little speech to Paula.
After that, the 18 ladies lit up the 18 candles we were holding and stood around the debutante, then she went around the 18 ladies and blew the candles. Quite a special moment I feel.
You know, somehow it's just wrong.
Assumptionites.
Now, this is really annoying. People bringing alcohol into the party to drink/show off/get drunk when they are not even of age. Like please, if you want to drink, don't get yourself drunk and puke over the place. Especially you are not even 18. Goodness.
Now, how is myt 18th birthday going to be like? =)
Till the next time. Adieu.

We later met up with Charline through the mad crowd before the final stroke of midnight. We squeezed through the crowd and watched the fireworks.
I remember saying that I love the nightview of Singapore. Especially at the Esplanade. Nevermind that I was not there with my beau, but I was there admiring the view with my buddy Conan and Charline. That's good enough. =)
