Work's becoming more demanding (but not as demanding as MCM), so I might not be up to update so often anymore. But I'll still try to update with the main highlights and accompanying pictures =)
In chronological order again!
7 AugustThe sweet people of Jeannetic surprised me with a birthday cake!
From Awfully Chocolate, yummmmmmm.
One of a kind birthday present from Chase.
Super thoughtful and sweet present from Ms Gan Jiaying =D
Thank you all for everything! =))
8 August
Oh my, only two candles.
Missing Qiaohui.
All the girls in the family.
The little drama queen.
And of course, the rest of the world was celebrating with me, through the Beijing Olympics, haha.
15 AugustMeet up with my bestie and Denise for dinner! We went to some Turkish eatery in Far East Plaza. And Denise had to embarrass herself, "Why got no place to sit one?!" A second later she turned to the left and burst out laughing the Denise-embarrassed laugh.
Some things never change.
Then Denise pointed out to us an item on the menu. "Egg in fry pan". The three of us looked at it, and couldn't stop laughing. Two from MCM, two from NTU Lit. What would we make of that? HAHA. Yes there were only three of us. Denise was from MCM and is from NTU Lit mah. I passed my maths ok.
21 AugustChase bought me a CJ7 toy. Very unique toy. Its pink! =D
Now it's sitting in between both our tables, looking at me while I work. So cute!
Met up with Leeping after getting off early from work, and went on a shopping spree! Oh my I spent more than $250 in half a day.
I bought a skirt I've been wanting for so long, and of course, a new pair of pretty shoes from adidas!
With the bling! Perfect.
Wanted Jeff and Wanyun to join us, but they were busy with their other halves, and we made Jeff feel bad so he said he would treat us next week. YAY.
Then we went to Swensens for an earthquake! Pure pleasure.
22 AugustJiaying's birthday surprise! Bought her a mango mousse cake, and gave her her birthday present. Colourful colourful birthday present =) Another two candles in the office now, haha.
Later at night went out with Chase for my belated birthday present. Needed some food to digest all the alcohol later, so we went to Sakae Sushi at PS for some food first. But with Chase, how is that enough? She decided to introduce sake to me, and we ended up having three bottles of warm sake.
But it's very nice to drink on a cold rainy night, just warms you from the inside.
Then we headed to Clarke Quay and settled at Kandibar.
We made the shots ourselves, well, mostly Chase made them.
Drink up, for losing the taxi number bet! =D
Mandatory picture of those who were present.
My birthday present from the Charming Chase. No C + C for you.
23 AugustWent to Sun Plaza's Sakae Sushi for grandpa's birthday dinner. We were not courteous when we were ordering food.
The view of the whole table from the revolving belt.
Qiaohui and my share of food.
Mummy's, gugu's, Min's and Uncle Derek's share.
And of course, my very own bottle of warm sake.
Then went to my old house area to meet Ryan for awhile, and ended up going to DXO (for $1 entry) but we only stayed for like five minutes, then went to Butter Factory in the VIP line, but left after our Heinekens for bak kut teh and back home.
24 AugustMet Ben for my belated birthday lunch at the glass house of Fish & Co. after his run at the Padang. Nice to see him with some hair now, haha. But it was great catching up, haven't met him for a few weeks. I swear I have the sweetest godbrother on earth. I'm a lucky girl. Or Ben would call me a lucky "woman".
Looking forward to many things coming soon: meetup with TriMedia, Chiang Mai, Ho Chi Minh, 6/7 gathering, Desaru and not forgetting 5th September (with Chase)!

Okay, finally time to update! Let's start from where I left off.
--
17 MayWent to Zouk after work for Steve Aoki. Was damn freaking crowded can, I've never seen Zouk so packed in my life.
Light sticks everywhere, even in my hair
The man of my life
Someone commented that we were getting ready for Halloween
Light sticks in my hair!
Lina's hands spoiling my picture with my man
Woohoo!
Left about 2am with Ben (save on cab fare!), and I still had work the next day! Oh those days are past (for now).
--
23 MayHad a last minute meet up with Marissa, Lina, Celeste and Marcus. I didn't even bring clothes to change. So I dragged all of them to shop for a skirt to change into. Ended up buying a red dress from m)phosis (they were having a sale, so only $26.30!). Then I suddenly became the most dressed-up person in the group, haha.
Headed to Marmalade Pantry for dinner, then over to Clarke Quay Cafe Iguana for drinks. Since Lina was the birthday girl that week, Marissa and her friends decided to treat Lina to a chilli tequila. I'm sure she enjoyed it as much as we did, lol.
--
29 MayMy bestie Constance accompanied me for lunch while I was working at Bugis, that sweet girl. Caught up in that short one hour span, and she hung around till Jiaying came to get her eyebrows plucked, then we went to Blu Jaz Cafe for dinner. We caught up over dinner, then we walked over to Chjimes for a drink and headed home, to gear up for graduation the next day!
--
30 MayGraduation!
Me and the greatest woman on earth
Ms Gan bought me flowers! So sweet of her =))
Denny and Addi Boy
Ben Tay!
Mr Yee
Me and Fer
Bunny!
I spy, Addi Boy holding something special
Hot Mama Cordelia and Huey
Stand tall Raf
We've graduated
Finally!
--
31 MayMet up with my girls to go dress hunting for Estee's bf's comms ball. In the end, she decided to wear my Daniel Yam dress, and she only bought shoes from C&K. Then we had dinner at HK Cafe, and had a very good catch up session. Photos aren't with me, I think they are in another camera. If you have them, please send them to me!
--
1 JuneHad a super long waiting session after I left the girls. Was waiting for Winnie, Marissa, Marcus, Lina and Celeste to turn up so we could go clubbing/drinking. After waiting for about an hour plus, they all finally turned up and we decided to go to Clarke Quay to sit and drink. Finally settled at Kandi Bar, and Marcus decided to be adventurous and ordered a Graveyard. It was absolutely disgusting.
--
6 JuneWe finally had our BBQ at Lina's. It was in honour of Marcus, and we called it the "good riddance Marcus" BBQ because he was going to enlist soon!
Before that, met up with Raf to accompany her to register at Ubi for her bike practical. She was driving a lorry!
What's with the face Marcus?
Good food, good company, great night!
The BBQ we finally have!
Then we headed over to Marissa's friend's house party at Seletar Hills, at the back of Raf's lorry!
On the back of the lorry
With a covered top though
The view from the back
Those boys were so damn close
House party madness
--
12 JuneMet up with Fer, Raf, Phoebe, Jaime, Avie, Kamil and Shah for Raf's birthday dinner! We had dinner at some place near Haji Lane, and we could see a free display of a belly dance because some company was having a function at the same place. But the food wasn't that great, and the service was kind of horrible. But the people ,ade up for it.
The main highlight was the waiter asking, "So you want your cake now?"
--
13 JuneMet up with Lina, Celeste, Marissa and Winnie after work to try out shesha. It was quite satisfying to see all the smoke coming out, but we had to change that thing 3 times before we could achieve that satisfaction.
Then Marissa left for a house party, and Winnie drove us to Mt Emily (or was it Emily Hill?) to take a look. Headed back home after that.
--
14 JuneRaf's birthday is like a festival, I swear.
Had a poolside celebration at Cafe Del Moar with Fer and her friends.
We wanted to steal that float home, seriously. And we very nearly succeeded! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Raf you lucky bastard.
Then I followed Fer home to rest and wash up, before heading over to St James to have a second celebration (for the day), and also for the other birthday girl, Hui Qing.
In VivoCity
Outside St James
The whole group
Raf's side of the group
The other birthday girl
My new friends!
Serena does her smoky eyes damn freaking well
Bounce, yo.
Up high
After getting down she wants to hide behind my hair
Then she wants more drinks
A super sweet-looking girl
Y~~~M~~~C~~~A~~~!!
Raf, before the Waterfall
She was petrified
Hui Qing was loving her angbao money
Then these 2 wanted to be Sadakos
Smileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Have I found new clubbing khakis? =D
--
20 JuneWanyun's birthday chalet! We got there super late, mainly because someone's boss didn't allow her to go off at the pre-agreed time (TSK).
Then Terry joined us in the early morning, then we decided to go take a walk. We ended up playing and jumping around, exploring the whole playground at Pasir Ris Park. Jump till I lost my student EZ link card, dammit.
We managed to keep ourselves awake till a not-so-good sunrise, then we headed back, showered and headed home. Poor Leeping still had to work.
--
21 JunWent to a comms ball to work for a few hours with Jiaying, and oh my, were there lots of eye candy. All the guys were walking around in their smartest uniforms, and although they did have a partner, I'm just looking! And I was sitting down, so all of them looked tall to me, lol.
--
27 JuneWinnie picked Lina, Celeste and me up to drive to Dempsey to have Lina's farewell dinner. We were then joined by Marissa and Raf later.
Then we decided to go for a KTV session (my first). Marcus joined us, and he's more fit now (then)! With less hair though.
You look fine la Marcus, really.
See you for the road trip (if I can make it!)
I finally caught Lina looking at the camera. I think I make good paparazzi.
--
3 JulyMeetup with Leeping, Wanyun and Terry for a small cam whore session.
Disgusted with Wanyun's "I'm so sweet" look
I'm the sweet one okay.
Two lovely ladies, one .......... other lady
Red flanked by black
Chirp chirp chirp! LOL.
--
7 JulyMet up with Jeffery, Wanyun and Leeping to give Jeffery a mini farewell. We're losing him to Tekong. Had a short but fruitful camwhore session at Raffles City Starbucks.
Let's start the weird poses
Tongues out!
Pucker up!
Blah!
Wanyun's signature
Oh my! A camera!
WA CAMERA!!
Die Jeff DIE!
Teensy weeny!
Jeff what did you do?
Yo.
Lalalalalala~
Uncoordinated
BIG eyes
Small eyes
Hide behind your hair Jeff!
BOW TO THE LADIES!
Wanyun is always the odd one out
Another uncoordinated one
Then we walked to Boat Quay, as we used to do after work in Robinsons almost 4 years ago (omg we're getting old). Sat and talked till.. about 2am? Then Wanyun said she wanted to head home. While we were walking to get cabs, I stopped and stared at the tiny structure which I used to be able to slip through.
Leeping of course can go through
Jeff made it
Wanyun made it
But I didn't because my boobs were too big.
--
8 JulyMet up with Joan and Huey Eng to have Joan's birthday dinner at Raffles City Shokudo. The food wasn't too bad, but it wasn't all that fantastic either. THey even had a neoprint machine inside.
--
9 JulyWinnie's farewell was at Hard Rock Cafe, with Winnie, Raf, Fer, Phoebe, Jaime and Avie present. After dinner we went to the nearby Starbucks to catch up. Jaime was still on her crutches; she's probably one of the strongest and most energetic girls I've known.
--
14 JulyElaine left us in Singapore to pursue her degree in Melbourne. Only then could we assemble the whole group of 7. We were joking that we were welcoming Qing Wen and sending off Elaine. You're so missed my dear Elaine =(
Honeydew, zaza, starfruit, apple, mango, hourglass, orange

24 July to 2 AugustBangkok! Of course it was supposed to be work, but we must leave allowances for play! =D
The view from my room
This little girl was so fascinated by the moving banner she squatted there for a long time looking at it.
Then she plucked up her courage to touch it.
Drinking at a safe little bar.
Chase with my flower
My flower from the angmoh
I wanted lemon slices for my tequila, and Chase and I had to draw it out.
The lemons in Bangkok are green.
This was looking at me the whole time.
Who's handphone is that?
Future ah beng
I made him do the girly pose
Chase followed his pose
This 13-year-old thrashed us in Connect 4
I'm being thrashed too
Drinking in Bangkok with JY!
Chase also got thrashed many times
Concentration..
The stakes
And Chase won! One round! (I won one round too, but the boy cleared it before I could take a picture)
I got another flower from the little boy
New ah beng!
Much fun in the safe little bar
And the 20-year-old waiter called Tiw
On a tuk tuk
And only on a tuk tuk can you get hair like this
On another tuk tuk
The cab driver is really devout
Even the back of his cab has little statuettes
Our friendly local guide
A really cute dog in a silver shop
Like a feather duster!
Ms Gan waiting for the Hilton boat
That's me in Bangkok!

5 AugustJust came back from a dinner treat from Ryan. Had Swensens ice cream! Yum. Me and my sweet tooth.
Whew! Finally updated. Busy busy busy. But I guess I'll be free-er from now on, since so many people have left Singapore. When will it be my turn?! SOOOOOOOOON, I hope.
Speaking of soon, you should know what's happening very soon right? Wishlist to your left, thank you very much! =DD
