MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS :D(WARNING: long post ahead)
christmas tree at my hse (credits to: JOY, mummy, auntie & me)
Christmas was HECTIC. i had celebrations 3 days continuous.
22 dec - guides (at me hse) BBQ
23 dec - the clique (at shuxian's hse) steamboat :D
24 dec - family (at me hse) BBQand you can imagine, after eating loads of BBQ food and countless late-sleeping nights, gwendaline is defeated by Mr. cough virus. nevertheless, she's here to blog :D
the first day: 22dec2008PART I:food preparationwhen i came back from school, mich & eunice was already here. shuxian, hani & long-time-no-see eleena joined shortly and we began the preparation! (aherm. i don't want to mention names, but SOME ppl were late. right, ellis & wanru? hahahaha)
poking chicken 'satay' (i thought it was more like kebabs than satay)
DONE! taadaa :D
meanwhile haniza & eleena were...
our beehoon was only possible thanks to them :)
round pit: belachan stingray
long pit: hot dogs, 'satay', chicken wings, mashmellow <3
(however, 好景不长 'cause...)
it became like this after a while.
we stopped cooking and allowed the
younger ones to serve us (hahaha). we ate till
the little nonya started.
PART II: gifts exchangedear joy wrapped names on candy canes and hung them on the christmas tree. we each picked names and find out whose gift we're taking :D & i got... MICHELLE PNG SUMEI. i thought i was going to get a box full of straws sia. (note: insider joke)
i got a super cute watermelon plushie (points at profile pic), which functions as a laptop screen duster and wrist cushion and a nice red pencil case :D thanks mich!
PART III: camera, action!!then we started taking loads and loads of photos with wanru's macbook:
pose.pose.pose.PROPS!
note: the focus is not on the peeps in the first row, but the
MONSTERS BEHIND.the camwhoring session lasted almost forever. then all that was left when mahjong session ended was me and wanru still standing. we ran out of poses so we...
...tried to imitate movies dvd covers :D - this one's on the bone collector.
& after 2 failed attempts - dying young
& hani just have to stand there (boils)
after bath we continued!
what if we all had mustache?
specs maniacs :D
& things turn violent when another member joins in...
(note: that's shuxian :D)
look as if we're advertising for dodo fishball
& finally a normal photo. famous 5.
then we proceed for supper when eugenia lau came (at 2am) for roti prata :D we watched white chicks & pirates of caribbean I till 6am? then we all slept~~

ah-shuang is back from YANGSHUO! (hahas) it was super duper fun, and i can't believe i'm actually missing the rocks now. maybe i'll be there again next year :D (hee)
selflessness rocks !i'm quite lazy to blog about my trip now, the main purpose of me blogging is to talk about my post-trip playing days. (hoho) and i bet almost everyone who knows me can guess what i've been doing.
KBOXing SPREEDAY ONE: ms liu, wanru & junqiang (mini odac gathering)wanru & i reached first and began singing. me, being obsessed with 带我走 sang it twice before ms liu & junqiang came. (hahaha) we sang from like 2 - 7 plus. why so early we left, you ask. because the new kbox system blocks all the songs that you pick after the your time slot ends. which is SUPER IRRITATING. junqiang even tried to go with the flow by singing the 'superwoman' by alicia keys, but sang halfway buay ta han, then we left. (hahaha) we had like snacks, fingerfood & freeflow sprite. $14.50.
DAY TWO: joy & yisi (family get together)from my experience from the previous day, i decided to go to the old kbox branch. (this way even if we go overtime, the songs will not be blocked) me & joy reached first. then the person told us we can only sing till 5.30pm. 7pm if there's not much customers. then when we sang halfway, the person told us we could extend our singing time to 7pm if we order a plate of fruits. we were like hesitant at first. then decided its alright. he even added fries for us. (hahahas, so nice) then after we get the receipt, we were like shocked.
the fruits costed $13!! but it was alright. 'cause we sang till 9pm - exceeding two hrs. (hahahaha) and yah, i sang 带我走 4 times today. (hahahaha) total: 7 hrs of singing
and now my throat hurts :( tata, need to do reflections for ys still.
