dragons gathering

I finally met up with the dragons today.
We have decided the last time to meet on the 27th of every month or once a month.
Our initial plan was to meet at 1100 and catch a movie at 1115, lot one.
TinFong msged to say that she was going to be late as she just woke up and will not be joining us for movie. The rest of us met at 1100 and decided that we wouln't catch any movie! Shumin already watched IP man, the movie which the rest of us wanted to watch. Therefore, we decided to walked around instead. We had pizza hut for lunch and Tinfong joined us as soon as she could.
We stayed on in pizza hut to gossip after lunch.. Haha. I guess there was too much to catch up with over a period of 2 months. (= We went to Shihui's house for our christmas exchange gifts and passing of souvenirs for those who went abroad. I got Shihui's present! Haha.. Thanks a lot daohui.. I love your handmade gifts.. I love your piggy earrings and necklace most! Thanks thanks! TinFong got the diary that i bought. I hope she likes it! I wanted so badly for myself. =P
We tried Weeling's pineapple tarts! It was awesome!! Haha! Especially for a pineapple tart lover like me. (= Thanks darling! Tinfong made some cookies too! To be honest, I thought they were fine! Shihui is too mean la!! Haha.. It was fun catching up with you girls! Thanks for the joy and laughters that you all have brought! See you all soon, on the 7th Jan 09!
These are pictures of the gifts I've received today!

Merry Christmas!

I'm here to fill in my recent updates of what I've done since I was back!
I caught the movie Cape No.7 with Ben Teo..
It's a nice movie.. haha.. Ben simply loves it!
I didn't quite understand the movie at the start..
Luckily Ben was there to explain to me!

It's the Christmas season!
I managed to do some shopping today. (=
We had lunch and went to Bugis.
It was crowded as usual..
But surprisingly, I was more bearable with the crowd today!
Maybe because of the current season of love. Haha.
A few pairs of earrings and a belt are all that I got for myself.
It was so crowded that I gave up the thought of even trying out the clothes. (=
It came as a surprise for me to see a GUESS shop in Bugis Junction, given that I haven't been there for a long time!
I was complaining to Connie about the GUESS sales at Taka..
There wasn't any nice stuff remaining by the time i visited.
The branch at Bugis Junction had many nice wallets and bags on sale!
I bought myself another wallet! (=
That's the reward for myself this Christmas for doing housework chores and cooking.. (=

Yeap! That's all for now!
Merry Christmas!!

Love,

local temperature and food!
the first place we went after touching down was to have breakfast at coffeeshopi miss our carrot cake (cai tao guay), you tiao, fish porridge etc.
beijing's food is way to salty to my liking..
haha!
and it was also too cold for me..

i particularly love the snow scenes!
we were lucky to catch the first snow this winter! (=
shan't be too long-winded..
i shall let the pictures do the talking! (=

i'm in beijing- day 1

i landed in beijing international airport at 3.25pm!
the temperature then was around 2 degree celsius.f
reezing cold..
and on top of that.. we had to get of the plane via a staircase and board a bus to the airport..
then..change to a tram to the correct terminal to collect our luggage!
my gosh..and this time round we took air china..
i must say their service is really.. ermerm..yea..
dian dao wei zhi..
our first stop in beijing was to watch a acrobatics show which lasted for one hour.
it was quite exciting i thoughti love the bian lian part the most (=
it was 630pm when the show ended..
we proceeded to have our dinner at "yu shan" meaning imperial food
tasted a couple of dishes of Man Han Quan Xi, those which Empress Dowager Cixi loved.
i remembered the name of one of the dian xin called "Yuan Meng Shao Bao" (Realising Dream Bun)..
this unique name was given by the empress dowager herself..
one of her dreams came true after eating the bun, therefore the name of that unique bun!aha
the dinner was alright..
my family sat together with another family of four..
parents are both teachers...
girl from tanjong katong sec
boy from victoria jc year 1.
hai.. can't stand singaporeans who like to compare so much..
first thing that male teacher(father) sat down , he asked my mum..
"how old are your kids??"
"ooh..ic.. so are they still schooling?"
"where are they studying?"
"icic.. my boy is from blabla..my girl blabla"
"i'm teaching in blabla..it's quite famous in the east!" (although i've nvr heard of those schools b4)haha.. i hope these "eagerness to show off" attitude will cease of after the first dinner..
if not..dun think i can stand having my meals with him for the rest of the trip!!
kk.. i know i should stop these negative stuff..
aha.. i hope tomorrow will be a better day! and a warmer day too!
the temperature outside is -10 degree celsius now.. =S

i hope i will have time to update tomorrow (=
the pictures would have to come later! (when i'm back in singapore)

exams are FINALLY over!

yeahness!
4 dec marked the end of my examination and the last day of Sem 1 too..
time has really passed so quickly that i just came to realise that i've spent a semester in uni.
i'm glad that the exams are over and what's left for the rest of this year is "time for fun".hee!
i think i need a good break!
so people, if you wanna go kbox, movie, shopping ,mj or anything, give me a ring! (=

some recent updates on myself..
my maid has gone back to indonesia and my mum has decided not to employ a new one..
reason being my youngest brother is old enough to be independent and of course.. she wants us to start doing some housework too! aha..
hmm..i thought doing housework has been fine so far..
but i realised there's something that i really dread doing!
cleaning up after cooking! aeww!

to connie: i need to thank you for all the reasons that you've thanked me for too! it's a vice versa thingy! (=

i'll be leaving for china tomorrow!
i shall update when i'm back!
both excited and worried about the trip..
the temperature is simply *shivershiver*
