of red packets, and… finding a dress that doesn’t make you fat

this yr’s cny is/was mega early. :/ not a fan of festivals and occasions and celebrations so… meh~

but we had a really good dinner at home and i baked!

yumyum.

momsy made watermelon jelly.. which tasted nothing like watermelon. good job. (i kid about the latter)

looks so pretty.. (= i’ll need to make some soon.

on day 1 of cny we dressed up and stuff, and passed momsy her present.. like 7 months late.

haha. she was really pleased, i have the video, but my dad was like “no lah, it’s not a birkin”, and i don’t know if i should smack him for thinking i’ll buy something fake, or if people are just trying to lie to themselves…

and he’s omega thick skin, holding the bag when he didn’t pay for it. mm. i’m quite pleased i had the bag sitting at home for a month or so without her even realising it.

went to my uncle’s place first.

the sisters. (=

them swapping bags because let’s be honest.. who doesn’t love blue?!

found this pig rabbit thing… sis thought it was amusing.

dress from bkk. shoes from far east. nine west clutch. accessories/watch from juicy, hermes, random places.

bro tried his hand at posing. he bought his shirt specially for cny. seriously..

he’s such a pro if you ask me (=

our version of leonado’s haterz gna hate pose.

all of them in blue. as i said, who doesn’t love blue?!

family shot at extended relative’s house. (=

godma and i up to our nonsense, as usual.

yiyi!

that dude is called isaac too… and that’s my uncle behind me.

we then headed off to my dad’s client’s home. meh. makes me feel very sad when i see the house.

finally we’ve a pic of her! (=

went to my dad’s mom’s place and then another client’s place.. so that’s 5 houses in day 1. more than enough if you ask me, at least i didn’t dress up for nothing. uhm. yea to me that’s dressing up already. didn’t wear make up. bahah. can’t be bothered. maybe when i get married…

dinner at stellar

called my family 2 aunts and cass to have a meal at stellar where lamley works. (=

front of my dress.

back of my dress. ahhhh i love it. okay it’s my first frilly piece..

le pinky.

sis and view that can barely be seen..

le piggies, pigging out!

dad and his magical piece of bread!

parents enjoying themselves. dad doesn’t eat raw food (like me) so he got cod fish as his main, while i ate the sushi. we both got lobster/clam bisque courtesy of lamley! yummm

foie gras. tasted… okay i guess

sashimi! lighting’s bad, but my camera doesn’t has softflash/lowlight mode anymore!! -frowns-

dad’s cod fish. he says it’s better than the one at atlantis@republic plaza

happy lady w her food

the only thing i ate off the raw food platter. the weird eggs and caviar.

had the whole.. bucket to myself. it’s so cute!

our sushi came and it looked amazingggg. i couldn’t wait to eat, was very hungry :p haha. and it tasted so damn good.. it’s off the menu, so it was a nice and special touch (=

octopussy wasabi.

family!

happy parents, with huge bellies. hahaha

was quite stuffed (i had 7 pieces of sushi i think) but we trudged on and ordered dessert.

which was a really bad choice because the middle one sucked like hell! ahah. lychee something. the left one was creme brulee, not that bad, and the right was sticky date pudding, which was alright too i guess.

we headed upstairs for the view. i think that’s the best part of this restaurant. the view! the waiters are not “classy” to say the least, they don’t serve water, they knock things over soooo many times, they don’t clear your plates. and it’s not like the place was full. there were only 5 tables, inclu mine.

plus the person who picked up my call was.. urg. trying to seem like they only cater to the westerners (bloody suck ups!), saying “oh im not sure if there is space, let me check” and then kept telling me there might not be space blablablaaa. jizzus. but anw, yea. i won’t wanna head back again, even worse if ive to make the call

mbs! lovely view. loved the light display.

went back to the car and found a clk with the windows and sunthingy down..

couldn’t resist.

ohhh look at bby me.. okay background is mega ugly cos we’re in the process of removing the wallpaper!

okay gtta run now x

USS

went to USS to celebrate lamley’s birthday. (=
mmm i like theme parks i guess, in general, there are nice things to look at, i don’t really like crowds so i was a bit wary of that, plus it’s a saturday so… :/

but it turned out great! there wasn’t much of a crowd, thank goodness. the longest queue was probably 20mins, and the shortest.. i’d just have to walk through all the darn barriers and i’ll be able to sit the ride near immediately!

but in one word to describe the rides: cockblock. seriously the themepark was pathetic to say the least. considering how the rollercoasters were the only fun thing.. it says a lot!

hardworkin sis lookin at the maps.. if she wasn’t there i’d do the job so thank my stars i had her.. sometimes all i wanna do is chill and follow the crowd and not make decisions..

le brain and le pinky~

sat this tiny boat ride.. madagascar! loved it hahaha. cos it’s so silly and.. kinda lame tbh but still..

shrek 4d!

it was rather tame and fun except i screamed when the spiders dropped onto me bahahah.

we took the canopy ride, which was.. quite fun i guess, sitting facing the back is so much more fun! and we sat the kid’s coaster.. i was like ‘eyer confirm boring one’ and when we went down all i remembered was me shouting ‘wa lau eh!’ ahahahahhaha

went for the water show too…

walked over to to the mummy side..

oopz.

it looked like it was about to rain so sis and i dashed to sit the human coaster (red).. i’ve a fear of roller coasters, well i hate the big drop, but i love the cockscrews (bahaha) and everything else.. and i thought the red one will be less scary. haaha (obviously weong). anyway i was screaming like an idiot, and then hugging the seat, because there are no handle bars for me to grab, there’s nothing in front/beside for me to hold so i just hugged the seat ahaha.

there after we went to sit the blue one which was heaps awesome. preferred the cylon to human! (= then we went on the mummy ride.. which is when the word “cockblock” came about. it was absolutely boring and the twists and turns were so jerky.. not fun. even when it rolled backwards, before you got to the climax, it rolled back up.. erm okay. now i know how it feels to be a woman who didn’t.. you know.. yeah.

saw this funny ass statue ahaha. my knight~

oh yea i sat the teacup thingy… another cockblock. USS Y U NO FUN.

le monroe.

had lunch at a diner, kinda like what we have in melb.

transofrmers 3D! it was not too bad, but it def won’t be drawing crowds due because it’s just simulation, kinda boring! i got bored and took off the specs and looked at the interior instead..

after that… there wasn’t anything much to do.. so sis and i went to take the blue coaster, and sat the mummy twice in a row.. that was… bad… motion sickness hahahah.

le boyfriend!

was feeling so gross, hot, sweaty, have i mentioned disgusting? so that was eeeky. but yea, i wouldn’t say uss isn’t fun, or that it’s sucky. just, not as fun as i thought it’d be! again, expectations vs reality… glad i sat on the rollercoasters though :p

backdated new year. (=

oops really late, have been lazy. but here i am!
spent the evening with cass because we’re both too lazy to go out, and i hate crowds.

so cass ate a rainbow cupcake, and i told her we could make it there and then. really an impulse decision, it was 8pm and stuff. had most of the things at home but we drove out to get some stuff..

mixing all the ingredients to make the batter

dolled the stuff into different bowls..

le peacock.

sis joined in the fun, and cass “allowed” her to do the inferior colours, purple and orange. HAHAHA. yea we feel that some colours are superior to others.

cancer, anybody?

got dad to do one for momsy.. to the right there’s cass spoiling the pic haah

masterpiece!

cass’s work

recipies for cancer.

unfortunately my oven’s down, and all i have is a broiler.. which.. killed it. haha

it looked really gross, and yes, orange is such an ugly colour, so is purple.. they spoilt the cake! ahaha

sis had a huge ass box of sparkle thingys, and we had some fun. they’re the mega smokey/whistling kind.. hopefully i woke the neighbourhood up

indian neighbours came out to join in the fun

((=

it was a fun and slack night.

Weight woes

Ever since I’ve been back people have been harping about how fat I’ve become. Yea fine, bot all use the word fat directly, but the meaning is the same (psychologically, at least)

you’ve put on weight

Seriously, what the fuck?!

Since when is it acceptable in society to use that as a form of salutation? The last I remembered, my mother taught me manners. And it didn’t just happen once.

1) met friends at brewerkz. When I said “hi”, my guy ‘friend’ was like “wa.. You.. Hmm.. Look.. Different”. I got annoyed and said “you mean fat?” and he laughed and said “ya”

What the fuck?? Is that how you say hi? Haven’t seen you in a year and should I ask why you still look the same, having your right hand as your girlfriend?

2) went to church. Lady was being mega rude asking me why I’m only in church that day after being back for one month. And then she said “wa you put on weight. Am I right” and I stared at her and snapped “no I lost weight” and she tried to cover up by sayin “oh I meant you.. Grew.. Became more mature”

Bitch please, it’s because of people like you I avoid church. All the inanities, askin what I’m doin, when I’m graduating. Not interested. If you’re so concerned you’d remember when my parents told you. Fuck? If you really just ‘wanna say hi’, just come up and smile ad say hi?! What’s with the stupid comments?

3) early reunion dinner. Aunt came over and said “wow you’ve put on weight”. She spent even say hi or anything. I flare at her and walk away.

4) complained to my mom about the aunt. She laughed and said “she’s not the only one who said that”

No shit people? What’s wrong with all of you?! Let’s be transparent about this okay? In end 2010? I was 55kg. Now I’m 52kg. How the heck have I “put on weight”?

And you’re really wondering why im takin a fuckload of pills every single day? When I don’t eat, you complain I’m starving myself. When I eat you tell me I’ve put on weight. Is there any way to shut you guys up?

I can’t deny I care about what people think, but that’s another issue altogether. Singaporeans are getting more rude in general, Asians keep placing an emphasis on how one should be stick-thin and they use your past as a benchmark.

Excuse me, I was 16 when I was 43kg. Is that how you really want me to look? A bag of bones and depressed, but able to fit into size -10 clothes or something? Obviously from then I’ve put on weight? And you wonder why girls are killing themselves over weight issues?

I don’t see you telling a 130kg person in their face that they’ve out on weight so why are you picking on me? Because im a size 6/8 top and 8/10 bottoms, I deserve this shit you’re throwing at me?

No I don’t. I don’t need to put up with your stupidity, or your insensitivity. No one should have to deal with that. We’re all made differently, that’s why clothes have different sizes, assholes. If you middle aged women can’t get rid of your muffin top, i don’t see how you’ve the right to make any comments on y weight, and to my face. How rude can you get?

And you’re asking why the younger generation is so rude? Maybe it’s because you’re equally rude, and hey guess what, you started it by opening that filthy mouth of yours.

So excuse me while you continue harping on how I’ve put on weight. I’m off to buy myself a nice unhealthy breakfast. Oh, and the next time i stare or glare or roll my eyes at you, just be thankful that I’m polite enough to interest you with a sarcastic remark.

christmas and cups.

didn’t celebrate christmas, but met up with the crazy people (i don’t really know what else to call them) for a day of fun..
