Sis-In-Law

I have something to ask you guys if you happen to read this part here. What is sister-in-law in Chinese? Well, I feel challenged cos' WeiQin asked me & I was kinda dumbfounded cos' I had not even the slightest idea what that term is in Chinese :O All I could think of was "姐夫/妹夫" which means brother-in-law.

I need drilling in my Chinese language, honest.

I underestimated the idea of memorising the entire Chinese composition Sunlaoshi gave us. I initally thought it was an easier way to score but I was getting no where trying to flood my mind with every single word from the model composition, & vomiting all of them, word for word. The innocuous composition filed into the green file shall remain harmless to my brain cells :]

I've finally managed to snap a couple of pictures in class today, LiXuan's juniors gave WeiTing & I each a heart-shaped balloon :D I bought papers today from Popular & posthaste, I already got 3 cards almost done :D

Ben's watch made a cool fashion statement.

Pink :D

Pause, play, rewind, fast forward.

"Sweetness, smile! :)"
"Yes, beams :D"
"Good, don't be a sour plum."

"Does that make me sugar plum?"

Happy pillllll!

Thanks to my tremendous effort in reading Mao's Last Dancer, I am coming to the end of the novel. It is so very inspiring it motivates me to work the extra mile during class. Its an amazement to see how a person can actually get so many opportunities in his entire lifetime in performing.

I haven't been updating regularly, sue the strangling tight schedule screening me of time to post. But then again, nothing much really happened the past few days.

Watched "Bride Wars" with Reina, Bryan & How yesterday at Plaza Singapura after ballet. Elated to see them again. I hope Reina & Bryan tie the knot soon. I can't wait to be the maid-of-honor (not the maid :P)

We can all wear tutus & go on pointe & waltz down the aisle with Reina & Bryan doing pas de deux. Gorgeous.

I am crafting out the workplan for Sec Twos this year. Racking my brains. I am so not used to planning soooo way ahead.

I finally got my paws on Chippy sausage yesterday! I am craving for more Chippy! Dang.

DROOLS AT CHIPPY BRITISH TAKE AWAY.

Celebration In AHS :D

Finally had our celebration for CNY today in school. Didn't do much besides hear Ben persuade Kevin to stop luving ____. Hilarious. I must post photos now, otherwise I won't have the time to.

Party this Sat over at my house. I hope Reina can come & bring along her steamboat pot so that we can have Nutcracker reunion dinner! :D

Met up with Winny, Yeehui, How, Reina & Bryan today. Made a trip down to SDT after what seemed like eons. Please don't migrate to Japan, Reina!

Had this bigggg partaye over at Grans' condominium function hall, here are some snapshots.

Manhunt D:

Buffet :D

I was famished.

Brother, Flora & me :D

Beauties & the green beast.

Today's photos:

Yeehui & Winny!

First Day Of Ox Year!

Keep your grass green to attract lucky cows for the year :D

Wheee, happy new year everybody. How's the visiting going along? :D Didn't have much of a countdown yesterday to warmly welcome the new year but still, I watched Channel 8's CNY programme & got so high during the countdown with Granny.

Visiting has been repetitive these recent years so I have nothing much to discuss about it besides the fact that I luv renewing relationships that were stagnant throughout the year. I meet people whom I don't get to see besides CNY, relatives I don't even talk to & yet we bother to travel down to the usual, yearly meeting place to celebrate this festive seasons, so cheerios, I luv reunion.

Reunion at Daddy's side feels warmer because we are closer. I realised my Uncle knows Uncle Jeffrey :O What a small world.

I am looking forward to tomorrow :) Angbaos, angbaos & more angbaos :D Mummy says I can keep those money in my savings account but I guess I should a portion of what I've received to her to compensate on those that she's withdrawn to give others.

On the whole, CNY this year still feels kinda lethargic.

Meanwhile, more photos :D

Brother & me :D

Fat face :P

Sean Ho!

Sharmyn!

Lukas' expression is soooo priceless.

Fu Lu Shou.

Mummy caught me off guard :D

Here's something that changed throughout the year:

2009

My brother decides to carry Lukas properly.
(He's grown fatter too >:D)

HONGBAO!

HAPPY NIU YEAR'S EVE BAYBEHHHHH!

Whoa I guess many of you are already drooling for tonight's steamboat, or triple-checking your deck of cards & extracting the jokers in preparation for tonight's indoor gambling den, helping your mummy slot in 2x two dollar notes into ox-picious, glaring red packets :D

Whatever it is, gong hey fatt choy okay!

How's departing for Thailand in less than an hour's time. Greeeen with envy. I wanna go shopping too! >:(

I'll probably take more photos this CNY, to nourish this skinny blog :D

I want to dance so badly. Everytime Reina/Howie/Winny talk about going for class in SDT I wanna go too :(
I love "Mao's Last Dancer". Thanks How, for the wonderful recommendation :D

Won't it be fantastic if we all have 48 hours in a day? Then I can have enough time to dance.

CNY pointers for myself:

• It is absolutely not an excuse for me to eat as much as I want.
• Say "thank you" upon receiving angbaoz.
• Don't owe anyone anything.

Reina & Howie are both part of the "Cinderella" production! Can't wait to catch them on stage :D

A little bit of digression here.

With great fervour, don't we miss Twilight!

(L)(U) Thursdays

22nd January 2009
9:08pm

I share a love/hate relationship with Thursdays. Thursdays can be considered the most draggy day in the week, especially when we talk about school cos' it ends unnaturally late as compared to other days. Not to mention tests are usually scheduled on that day. I just had two today. Probably gonna flunk HCL, a humble pass for Amath. I'll be overjoyed.

But then again, Thursday is the only day I anticipate. Anticipate for tests to be done & over, anticipate for 4pm when ballet starts. Its quite like a reward for a long, exhausting day in school. Super fufilling.

Total yayness, I met up with How & Yeehui yesterday after school. Meeting up with friends from another part of life plays an important part in keeping everything balanced.

But anyway, Daddy loves me so much. He exchanged his new C905 with my old, slow-motioned G700. I love him a lot too ;D

Peals of laughter, I've got more photos to share :D

Nasty footprints. Thank your lucky star I'm no longer the cleanliness I/C.

WeiTing in class :P

Strawberry Pocky from How! I could actually taste the strawberry bits!

YeeHui & Howie!

Look who's the boss :D

Yeehui shy?

Ben's doooodle!

Tsktsk.

Anna!

"Relax, there is an answer to the darkest times."

Time honestly flies like an arrow. Long awaited weekend's already coming to an end. But still, lots of things accomplished this weekend. Let's list them out.

• I had another strenous class today, working every inch of my muscle. ;D
• I helped Daddy to arrange & stick fake flowers onto our pussywillow, quality time spent there.
• I did my homework & revision.
• I caught a movie, after like eons, called "The Haunting of Molly Hartley".

Okay, another hectic week ahead, brace yourself.

Daddy's got a new SonyE phone, equipped with a 8.1 megapixel camera. I was hinting for an exchange with Daddy. I give him my phone & take his. Obviously it didn't work.

Pictures can finally be loaded up now that I have a new thumbdrive provided by Daddy's new phone ;D

Ben's random shot.

This is the ceiling, & that's a pen refill stabbed into it, credits to Lowe.

Unglam.

Benedict!

I have a very adorable cousin!

My wild bestie :D

Bon voyage, Sasha & Carissa!

Daddy's so cute. He just called to say,
"Test call for my phone. Is it okay?"
