Happy Birthday... to youuu..

A video the church choir dedicated to me! :D

Cute!

christchurch trip and my 22nd!!

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!!!

I think today would be one of my favourite-st Fridays in my entire life because I'm extremely tired and I just need to sleep the weekend off!!!!

Pics from Christchurch trip! We had loads of fun even though we didn't do much there.. Haha. I only got the photos when we were in Orana Wildlife Park, will get photos from Janice soon.

Anyway, when we were there it was freezing cold. It started raining, then HAILING, THEN SNOWING!!! At times when we looked out of the window from the cafe, it was snowing on the left and hailing on the right. It's really funny.

The highlight of that visit to the wildlife park was MEETING THE LIONS. HAHAHAHAHA. It was SOOOOOO scary cos we were like a metre away from them! We visited their dens and we got roared at it was FREAKY!!!!!!!! Hahaha. Watch the video and you'll know.

my sis janice with her all new hair cut and hat and bling bling heels that she's really proud of.

i took this photo with james as the BACKGROUND to see the snow falling down. he was wearing black so it was really obvious! janice and i were under an umbrella when this photo was taken.

and then seconds later while taking yet another photo of the snow (and james), the umbrella flipped inside out and janice was screaming her head off. right into my left ear. ouch.

me posing as a lioness. with my glasses. == i'm starting to hate wearing glasses.

THE LION EATING HIS MEAL..................

this is a lion, not a lioness. according to the lion keeper, this chap has been castrated (ouch.) so he wouldn't breed with his sibling (erm... so there's something called incest in the animals in zoos), and because of that, his mane didn't grow out.. awww! we mistook him as a lioness. hahah.

me and the lion. i was actually super fascinated, yet scared at the same time lah..

enjoy this video. HAHA.

we decided that james was responsible for that roaring of the mother lioness cos he was pointing at her and she got pissed off at him. and my cousin ning was like saying 'you wanna hear it roar?' and it really did!!! janice, ning and myself were like damn scared lah!!!!!!

me with the ugly car and my not so ugly sis. HAHAHA. KIDDING jan!!!

more photos with my sis.

MY 22nd!!

at high tide restaurant. very renowned and the food was REALLY good. the service was awesome too.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

the 22 year old.

with the organiser of this dinner - my SISTA janice !! thanks so much! MUAH! ^^

with mum. lyds was commenting how alike we look and it reminded me of qi, who said i looked like my mum, my aunt and my grandma. HAHA.

mr james and i! he got a burn at the back of his arm that day by a 750deg furnace. OUCHHH. ><

cheers cheers! champagne!

lols. the things we do together.

with lydsy! thanks for coming lyds!!! :D

lyds was part of my surprise, but it got ruined cos i kinda figured out that she was coming.. HAHA. so i concluded that my sis and i are the WORST people for organising surprises cos they always don't work out.

janice was thinking out loud in the car, and she said 'yay my saviour just told me how to go to the restaurant!' then i replied 'aiyah, must be lydia liao.. who else knows such good restaurants lah'.

then my sis got all quiet. HAHAHAHA. i didn't suspect that lyds was joining us, until we drove to the carpark and i saw her car parked right in front of the restaurant.

nice. LOL.

mum and daughters.

then somehow when we arrived at the restaurant, janice, lyds and james were like giving each other eye signals, then james suddenly disappeared. i kept asking where he went and lyds, being a very lousy liar (sorry ah, lyds haha!), said he went to the toilet. he came back like 20minutes later. == and his sweater was COLD when he got back, so that made me pretty suspicious that they've got something else in store for me.

BUT! i forgot about that and after they got me to order DESSERT, the waiter came to me from behind and placed a lited birthday cake in front of me! I WAS REALLY SURPRISED!!!!

and the cake was from the all famous DESSERT ROOM!!!!! yum!!

making a wish as janice looks greedily at the cake.

i was forced to get the last candle outta the cake. why do i look retarded here..

and the beauuuuutiful cake.

(: happy 22nd to me!

and the very vain me who still had eye infection wore contacts that night and the infection flared up again the next day. so i suffered yet another bout of red eye syndrome. EEEEEEEEEW! another week of glasses for me.

OUT!

HAPPY 22ND TO ME!! :D

YAY! I'm 22 today!

I had such a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm so tired now so I shall go have an early rest and leave all of you excited for me!

YAY!

*blessed!*


AND I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME IN CHRISTCHURCH TOO (ning must be nodding her head!)
shall blog about that during the weekend too!

it's a hectic week with birthdays and choir and international cultural week and a new run (SURGERY!)!!!

but it's all good. (: cos' i'm very very very happy today! yay!

foooooood and manicure!!!

that afternoon while waiting to be REGISTERED to see a doc @ the polyclinic, i got some 嘟嘟糕 (Kueh Tutu!!!) at a nearby coffee shop.

you know what, they were so yummy!!! i didn't take a photo of their signboard, but i remember they're call 淡滨尼嘟嘟糕 ! Hahaha. It's at a coffeeshop in AMK, so they must've shifted! I ordered the coconut tutu, the coconut was very fresh and crunchy! Plus, the aunty (it was an old couple there) filled the tutu with lots of coconut. Very generous. 5 for $2.. Yummm.

Tampines kias (aka Qi and Stephie), maybe you guys might know them?! hahaha.

teh bing!!!!!!!! (iced milk tea)

my very good buddy, nien, sent me a msg and asked what i wanted for my 22nd birthday (coming up soon.. haha). i told her, i dunno!!! but she promised to send me my present before i leave singapore.. and i received it on monday!

whats in there..

still a girl??? haha!

i got a top from her. (: thanks nien!

because i wear formal on most of my days now, i wonder when i can wear these kinda clothes anymore. it's long sleeved so it's good for the cold weather in nz. HEHE. thanks so much nien! i must visit u this year!


i met joan yesterday after her short trip to korea. we talked non-stop while manicuring together, and my manicurist was commenting that i said 'oh my goodness' a MILLION times! that's a bad habit!!

my french and her white fingernails! hahaha. we were shopping at zara, and she kept asking me if this cardigan matches the colour of her nails... hahaha. i rolled my eyes and said 'joan! white matches everything!!!'

isn't that so true??? hehe. anyway she got this HOT PINK cardigan from zara and it's really pretty!!! i didn't get one myself, cos i doubt my patients would like such bright colours staring at them at 8am in the morning.. haha.

got my pedicure too.. oh gosh, i LOVEEEEEE pedicures... why am i NOT doing that often! it's so comfortable!!! oh, and i'm totally in love with the colour of my toenails... yayy..

im wearing that hot pink cardigan! cos' i was freezing after a tall green tea frap. i was sooooo happy that joan drinks green tea frap too... loves!! hahaha!

and finally, dinner at coffee showcase (opposite roxy square @ katong) with eifer (minus meiyi and thazin)!

happy birthday, eifer!!! 1st july again.. hehe.

the restaurant didn't charge GST and service charge! sweet!

but.. the dinner was soso. HOWEVER! the desserts................ had the OMPH! hahaha.

menu.



peach and the beanstalk. HAHA X)

hmm...

what was i doing?! i cant even remember why i was twirling my hair!! ==

soup of the day - cream of vegetables.. not very creamy, but yummy lah. haha. it's better creamier..

my main - black pepper chicken chop with sides CRUNCHY coleslaw and baked herb potatoes. the chicken chop was oooooooook... the coleslaw wasn't crunchy and the veges were drowned with the gravy... didn't really like it.. and the herb potatoes were cold by the time my main came to the table. quite disappointing.

stephie's dish was keyed in wrongly and the kitchen had to spend yet another 1 hour to cook up another dish for her! it was ridiculous.. the manager gave us 10% discount, which calculated to be the cost of how much stephie was supposed to pay, so she got a free meal. (: but we were pretty disappointed lah, cos' qi chungie stephie and mel went there before, and the service isn't as good.. and the mains too...

BUT i must raveeee about their New York Cheesecake...

i. was. in. heaven.

it was sooooooo good. i give it 11/10. the cheesey part was not ultra duper cheesey, it was really yummy and creamy and melts in my mouth....... MMMMMMMMM.... and the biscuit part at the bottom was thick!! i loved this dessert sooooooooo much.....

man, i'm salivating...

it was funny, cos the rest of them came before, they ALL agreed that hazelnut crunch was super yummy, so all 4 of them ordered them when i ordered the cheesecake. hahaha. i halved my cheesecake with chungie and she totally agreed that the cheesecake beat hazelnut crunch last night. woohoO~~! i tried abit of the hazelnut crunch too! it was yummy too.. but the taste of my cheesecake was still lingering in my mind.. too good to be true.. i'm SERIOUS..

im flying off to nz tonight... what a short holiday......

but i'll be back, singapore. i definitely will!

hehe. dun miss me too much!!
