the overnight getaway cum christmas party had me for awhile- not to mention the very-much-needed sleep that followed that, plus there's the new year preparation today and.... basically my very reasonable excuses. ahahahah i'll upload the pretty pics once i'm free but for now, lemme just blog before 2007 ends. :)
to more tears, laughter, pain, joy, and love to keep me human. :) hahas.
happiest new year to everyone and your loved ones! :)

long day.
Friday, December 28, 2007
my sister woke me up at 2pm yesterday, and that's waaay earlier than i'm supposed to. hahah. i usually sleep at 6am okae! but anyway, she had just ONE errand to do then she promised she'd bring me to this shop where they sell tanktops. haha. yes, i'm pretty easy to bribe. :)
weirdly and dumbly, the office guard said no shorts allowed inside! -.- SO, since there was a blugré cafe nearby(that's where the me and my cuz got our ice-blended coffee too!), my sister asked me to wait for her there and grab my lunch since i was pretty hungry afterall. well, even if i wasn't, i would still have eaten. hahahah
well, i already finished most of my food and my drink and my sister was still not there! :( so as you can see i got really bored.
i've still got the christmas spirit!
and emo mode. lol.
of course she came after a million minutes but i just hate waiting, especially when i'm by myself! :( anyhoooze, we dropped by that shop and i got 2 tanktops! :D one green, one reddish-pink. so christmas-y right? too bad it's over! i could have had 2 costumes that night! lol. anyway, we headed over to the salon cos she had to do smth. haha
so while 'waiting' for her i had some hair treatment too. :) my hair's super dry. ugh!
we separated after that cos she had a date and i had to meet up with my friends! :) we're finalising our christmas party plans! :))) i'm sooo excited. hahaha. oh. a friend's dad passed away so we went to visit before goin for dinner.
we took a tricycle, but this one's without a roof. lol. so just think of it as free make-over! powdered and gelled hair in an instant! hahahaha windylicious(so much so joanne wanted to sleep!)! :P 
we decided to go to Joke Hall cos an ex-classmate in high school performs there! :) he/she's a stand-up comedian! hahaha and he's really funny(but VERY dirty!). 
meet bryan, now known as Katya! hahahahah photo time! :D
we had to retake this cos i'm taking up more than half of the picture! :(

halfway through, bryan rested and there was this 'intermission performance' and OhMaiGaaaad!we.had.the.shock.of.our.lives! *parental guidance is strongly advised!*
hahahahaha. yeah. small-scale striptease(as in just the shirt was taken off!)! O.o it's so funny cos one of them was the girl who served us(they're waitresses cum dancers!) and she was really very blur. like we ordered 3 sets of calamaris then she came back saying they only had one left! -.- HAHAHA. then she came back again to tell us that our chicken lollipops will take some time! and it sure was a loooong time. THEN she came back to tell us that their drinks don't come in pitchers and we had to order again, this time-individually! hahahah. then she said she was sorry cos she's just new. -.- but she was nice la. just didn't see the dancing part coming. hahahah
funnier thing is, there were kids there!
and can you believe they were with their irresponsible parents? c'mon! who would be so smart to bring little kids in such a place? yes, they saw the 'dancing' too! whatever reason excuse, it's ultimate dumbness and negligence.
that little boy can sing. but he's very arrogant. HAHAHA. the girl in green can't sing for nuts! but she looked confident. lol. anyone can come up and sing on stage. but no worries i didn't. lol. no one in our group did. it's just too... weird. but anyway! at 1130 we had to leave! last few photos!
this one's with flash! :)
and while waiting for the cab to come, we realised we were actually warned. lol. we just didn't see!
it was raining sooo heavily and we passed by this street that was flooded!
can't really see it but i still like the effect. haha that's all for yesterday! :) p.s. my brother's coming home today! :D

depression comes, when will it go?
met up with the other students studying-in-singapore-who-live-in-davao city-too yesterday! i knew only half of them, but its nice to get to know new people. :) we met up at Bistro Rosario for lunch- that place is known for their good steaks and used to be sort of fine-dining-ish. not anymore though. but the steaks are still pretty nice. :)
i got a REALLY painful jaw after chewing a well done steak. lol. medium rare's abit gross. :S but not so rubbery? but i guess i'll sacrifice. :) hahaha meet everyone. hahah. that's everyone who turned up. there's so many more than that but the rest couldn't exactly make it. but thanks for organising, aldwyn. :)
aldwyn and the girls. i became their photographer! :(
and theirs too. :((
one of the boys?
meet charlene and her cute but really fierce dog, kenji. :D
after lunch we went to a cafe(think, wi-fi!) nearby cos the rest(NUS peeps) wanted to check their results. -.- 
at first i didn't care cos i thought it was gonna come out at 9pm! so when aldwyn asked me to just check for the sake of checking, my grades were actually already out!!!! O.O and that was the end of my day, if you know what i mean. HAH. actually judging from the number of pictures i've been taking lately, i'm not exactly been in a very good mood. but what the heck.
that's not mine. :p that's harry potter's O.W.L.S. marks. hahaha. i've been reading harry potter book 6 and that happened to be there. how coincidental. *rolls eyes* ugh. i'm still on depression mode. don't worry. i didn't fail anything but my goal(it was a pretty realistic goal actually) for last sem wasn't fulfilled which is why i'm on depression. UGGGGGGH! i swear geekification's gonna start next sem! anyhoo, i'm really glad for those who did well and thos who are happy with their grades. :) *especially for SOMEONE who got a 4.7! dammit*new year's coming real soon and well, maybe studying harder and slacking less will probably be at the top of the muriel's resolution list. like when was it never on the list? same goes for losing weight. HAHAHAHAHA. which just goes to show that none of my resolutions are exactly materialised. :) i better go and cure my depression. need i say how?

that's the jingle bell rock!
while watching one tree hill season 2 in the really weally weeeee hours of today's morning, the lights suddenly died. yes, a blackout. i forgot about that part of 'being at home'. hahaha. yeah it's pretty common around here. especially when there's heavy rain, but sometimes it's just really random- just like.. this one. :p
i froze for a couple of seconds and pretended to sleep. it was 2:55am afterall! (think, exorcism of emily rose! yeah the 3am thingy still lingers in me!) *shivers* i was seriously trying my very best not to let the scaredycat in me come out of the hat. hahah. what am i talking. but yeah i tried to act tough. lol. to make things worse, i couldn't find my phone! i had to make use of the pathetic light emmited by this glow-in-the-dark buttons of a remote control! HAHAHAH. looking back, i feel damn idiotic, but you've got to admit i'm a genius huh? hahaa. i finally realised that there was a box of matches on top of the piano! one of the very few times my memory did not fail me, thankfully!- which is not always the case by the way. :p
lit a small candle and used my sister's stained glass candle holder. :) pretty right? i got it for her during the school yunnan trip in 2005. :D i tried to distract myself by taking photos and well, they're pretty christmas-y too anyway. :)

and not to mention the persistence of vanity in the dark. HAHAHA

it was so dark that without the candle you'd be confused if your eyes were open or closed! seeeeeriously!
after i got tired taking many many photos, i decided that i had no other choice but to sleep. :p anyways, i'm writing this post to wish everyone a happy Christmas and i know i totally digressed. :p i just like these photos. that's all. :)
although it's been said many many times, maaaany ways,
Merry Christmas to you. :)

my sister's birthday :D
in preparation for her 24th birthday(i thought it was 23 though! what kind of sister am i huh?), i went to shop for the small-scale revamping of our room cum surprise materials after finally going to 5 banks yesterday *oh the headache!*. she was away for the night for some work so i had a little bit of time to spare. :p the wallpaper man couldn't come and put up the pretty wallpaper so it's down to the closet/cupboard! *STRESS* i had to order her boquet of 23(yes, not 24! :() white roses(her favourite) from our mom and pops too. :P luckily ate badi, the househelp, willingly agreed to pick it up for me from the florist cos i had no time to leave the house! besides, she LOVES to go out. hahaha
i managed to finish mounting the pretty giftwrappers on cardboards and wrapping them with the plastic cover but i only managed to stick it to her cupboard cos i had to go meet them for dinner already. i'll stick mine some other time i guess. :p it's not my birthday anyway. hahaha
they chose this hawaiian place which honestly didn't feel too hawaiian cos firstly- there was no beach nearby and basically there wasn't any hawaii feel unless this picture is counted?
hahas. anyway, when i came, the sister was so exhilarated just by the sight of the boquet. :) 
lovely huh? and for the record, i've never received one myself! :( hahaha. HINT HINT! :) and check out the battle of the beauties! HAHAHAHA. 
of course i'll be on my sister's side. :p though i think jerry(the over-enthusiastic and helpful waiter) was on lester's(the sister's boyfriend). :p anyway.. eating time! :D i think we completed all major seafoods in a night. hahaha
chili crab.
prawns
calamari
(guess who ordered that. hahaha)

seafood chopsuey(mixed veggies! (:)
oh. maybe not all were seafood. we had beef too! :D
and there was this girl singing for everyone in the place too. :) she had a pretty nice voice! :) and she actually looks like my brother's girlfriend, yes?
after the hearty dinner we had a frozen blue margarita. :) pretty aye?
but the taste isn't pretty at all. :/ i don't exactly appreciate drinking. so i surrendered after my teenie weenie glass.i started feeling hot and weird after that too. O.o
the guy on the right is Rainier, my sister's uni friend who's celebrating his birthday too! :D he has been assigned to the region by his company and so he's sort of away from home for his birthday, christmas and new year! i know exactly how you feel man. 
i sneaked out to buy birthday cakes while they drank happily!
hahaha but there wasn't any cake-selling-shops nearby so i cabbed to yellow hauz(hahas) to buy a caramel cheese cake and strawberry chocolate chip fudge. :D
of course they weren't too surprised cos my disappearance was sort of obvious. hahaha. oh well. :p blowing the candles and cutting the mini-cakes segment of the night! :D 


just before leaving. :) 
and just when my sister thought the surprise was over, she was in for another mini-surprise. :)
the cupboard before..
and AFTER! :D
can you believe i had to blow 23(YES, not 24 agaaain! :() balloons by myself cos ate badi refused to help me! hahahahaha. she helped in tying them up and cutting those happy birthday squares though. :)
HAPPY birthday? :)
i sincerely hope so! :D 
i wish her all the amazing things in life,
continued showers of bountiful blessings (:
genuine happiness and love she truly deserves
and as well as the strength to fight those bacteria (a little sickly ah, she)
and may she stay beautiful in and out always! :D
happiest 24th birthday ate kay! :) 
*hugs and kisses and lots of love :D*

today, i dyed.
i was supposed to go to many many banks today as requested by my sister. unfortunately i woke up late and didn't know that all banks close at 3 pm! O.O oh well, so i ended up dying my hair (and thus, the lame title)! :D hehehe. no green or red highlights in lieu if the christmas season that i was so tempted to do. :( haha. i should just be happy with a safe colour. :D 
nice? hahah. nothing special luh cos it's the exact same colour as the other time(as well as my brother's room door! :/). *boooorring* the only difference is i have to pay. :( after that i met up with joanne to go to the mall and choose the which studio pictures to be printed together. the photographer took a couple of shots but we are only entitled to two. so yeah. if we didn't come back, they'd choose for us. of course we wanted to choose ourselves. :D hahaha can't wait to get the sepia-ed pics on thursday. or was it wednesday? uh-oh. i can't remember. :P
anyway, my sister was with her boyfriend and another friend having dinner at Dimsum Diner so she asked me and joanne to join them. :D why not, right? :)

we ordered so much food! hahahah P.I.G.S :@)we had fried rice,
asado (it's exactly like char siew! :p)
a few siomais :D hehehe
and this one's called 'hakaw prawns'. not really very nice. :( i thought it was like xiao long baos but prawn version, but it's totally different. ;)
we were supposed to have halo-halo for dessert(smth like ice kachang) but then we were just too full! :P yeah pigs feel full too. but NOT for long. HAHAHA passed by the oishi manju shop 
and the smell is just too irresistable, so couldn't help bagging a few home. :) it's some jap (or korean?) pastry that has fillings, for this shop either custard or mocha. i only like the custard filled ones though. :p oh, and they didn't last long. they were gone before we got out of the mall. hahaha.
for once i'm blogging this on the actual day. HAHAHA. i shall go do the previous posts then. :D goodnyte world! :D
p.s. i'm gonna gonna learn how to drive after new year! :D i'll enroll tml. :) weeeeee! :))

stebhen boy. :D
before sheryl, another good friend in high school, flies off to Saudi(her whole family's going over!) we just had to meet! joanne told me about a mini-gathering cum dinner; that's the most sheryl could squeeze out of her super busy sched since she's leaving on monday! luckily i was free. :D but then again, i'm always free. hahahah
anyway, we met outside steven's sch and marco polo hotel happened to be right across it.
i just overheard in the news that they have this pretty bear-christmas tree. so i managed to drag them along to take photos. :)three little pigs- philippine version. i'm always part of a 3-little-pigs-trio wherever i go! hahaha WHY IS THAT? and no, i don't need an answer. ;) hahaha
sheryl and stebhen boy. hahahha
the bear tree wasn't so impressive actually cos it was pretty tiny. :/ so we moved on to the gingerbread house ! :D
deal or no deal? hahahahhaa
outside the hotel! :)
there was this guard watching us take photos. haha. so i asked him to help us take our photo! BUT he had a fierce doggie! O.O
i forgot the doggie's name but it was actually quite nice. :) but these three silly bomboms were still scared. HAHAHA
the man then unleashed the dog *gasp!* and then he commanded STAY! and VOILA! O.O
it didn't even move! i mean it's so amazing! :)) i've been trying to make the dog at home SIT but it just takes the goodies from me and runs away. :( atleast better than barking at me the way he does to strangers during my first few days at home. hahaha i'm a pathetic trainer but i don't really care! :p oh, and here's the photo of the four of us! :D
a little bit more outside the hotel. hahaha

while deciding where to eat dinner, we bumped into a couple of people! we're like celebrities i tell you! hahahah first off was rengel, a class-mate in highschool too. :)
then we met kuya fritz, our common friend from YMCA.
then sheryl's friend..
and one more of joanne's. hahah. didn't take photo cos there were too many ppl! hahah. sheryl bought fries for appetizer while we were strolling in the mall, still undecided on where to eat; like how hard can it get right?! :p
we forgot about our hunger and decided to take studio pictures instead! :D we chose the sepia-ed group photos and we'll be able to take it on thursday! excited! :)
here's while we were in the 'dressing room'! :)


after the photographer took the proper photos for our studio pics, we requested to use their bean bags and backgrounds just for fun! luckily he allowed us to! :) usually they don't, you see. but then there wasn't anyone waiting so it was ok! :D he even helped us take photos! :)
charlie's angels? :p
i thought we were still doing the angels pose, no?

he had this thing for steven, the only guy with us, and made sure he's in the picture too. he kept saying: how about stebhen boy? join in quick. HAHAHAHA. and steven is not light!
we were REALLY struggling with this pose! hahaha




he was seriously funny in his own ways. and we couldn't help giggling when he calls him 'stebhen boy'! what's with adding boy to his name anyway? hahahah
we were seriously running out of ideas on where to eat until stebhen boy(HAHA!) suggested we go to Yellow Hauz. never been there plus something new would be great! (:
it's literally a yellow house in which the 2nd floor is the owner's 'house' and they converted the first floor to a really cozy cafe! :)
they're pretty known for their coffee but only stebhen boi ordered that. hahaha
looks nice? :)
joanne had cookies&cream icecream milk shake while sheryl had rocky road icecream milkshake! ahahah
i tried coffefornication, but its just like caramel ice-blended coffee. but yep it was nice. :D
we all had pastas and shared a pizza. penne in pesto for sheryl and steven. *very herby! :/*
corned beef surprise for me. not exactly surprising. hahaha
and some fetucinne for joanne. :p
our 'yellow hauz' pizza. :D
and fries. :D and to think we JUST ate fries! hahah
we ate like pigs i tell you. *BUUURP* hahahha. we talked for sooooooo long! it's been some time since i really caught up with these people so i guess it was a great time getting back in track of how things are. :) i miss those days our life seemed so easy and funny all the time. haha. maybe not THAT easy, but yeah. 
just before we went home. it was almost 12 i thinK! hahaha
we walked a thousand million miles just to get a cab and in the end we had to bribe a driver so he'll take us home. hahaha. i really enjoyed and i think the pictures in the studio are really nice. :D
take care and Gob bless your trip sheryl! :)
why oh why now? :/

grocery day! ;)
ironically, this post does not have any grocery photos. hahas but mostly(all but one) dinner photos. just goes to show muriel's major priorities in life. :D hahaha
before going to the supermarket (smth like Giant), my everdearest sister and i ate dinner at Dencio's first. :)
filipino bbq food is so much more different than other bbqs (maybe pretty similar to indonesian bbq) cos it's mostly sweet and there's a huuuuge variety of yummy stuff, as you can see. hahaha 

after a year of singapore bbq(chicken wings, sausages, crab sticks, sting ray, satay, otah and nuggets HAHAHA), bbq is at the top of the must-eat when i'm at home. hahas. though the last two items aren't exactly bbq. but still somewhere at the must-eat list; it's a pretty long list, as you would have guessed.


heh. :p so i guess those who are wondering(and shocked) how and why i come back with so much more of me everytime i come back from home i guess your on the initial stages of enlightenment. ;) meet the sister! :D <3
and she's crazy over everything sweet-especially chocolates. :D
oh yah! i saw this pretty straw hat while searching for shuhui's straw bag and melvin's 'native handicraft'.
and nope, i didn't get theirs yet. hahahha i wanted to keep my options open ok! :p afterall, there's no need to rush! :D weeeee! this is the longest holiday ever. :D
and not to forget,
happy 28th monthsary beibee! (: <3

shakey's moment! :)
for the past few days, basically i've been bumming around my house, eating, sleeping, blogging and watching dvds and one treehill(i just finished season 1! :D) i did watch Golden Compass with my sis the other day. so i guess it's ok i missed that out during my class outing back in singapore. :p
something more eventful was the meet-up with the girlfriends to prepare for our chrsitmas party, particularly the exchanging of gifts part. we call it 'bunot-bunot' (direct translation:pick-pick. hahahha!) which is simply a drawlots of everyone's name, and whoever you pick is the person you have to buy a christmas present for. its practiced in schools and offices for christmas parties maybe as a way to ensure everyone gets a present. well, i think so. who knows?
meet juwelyn, elaine, sweet(yes, her name's sweet. hahas), shiela and me. :D there's actually 8 of us but 2 of them couldn't make it, and one more was shopping for her office's christmas party 'costume'. HAHAHA
joanne and her new found friend! :D
after 49 years(quoted from Sweet), Joanne finally bought this nice brown top. :D we then headed to Shakey's to grab a bite since we just shared some fries earlier, which obviously isn't enough. hahas
instead of getting the boring seats we managed to get the couch(i love cozy couches!)! :D actually i think it's for those people waiting for their take-outs *take-aways* but since there wasn't anyone there the person let us sit there. :D we were a pretty big group afterall. ;)
we had calamari,
mojos *shakey's is known for their yummy mojos!*,
and a HUUUUGE 18" super slam pizza with 4 different flavours baybeh!
now this is what i'm talking about. ;)
the lovebirds. :p awwww
THE noisy and rowdy pigs. hahahs. we were laughing like we were at home! hahas.
outside just before they realised they actually wanted to pee! :p silly billies. :P
so while they were busy doing their small businesses, i had a very different agenda altogether! :D
and THIS is strawberry candy sprinkle! :) it's kinda looks not very appetizing since most of the strawberry part has already dropped off *tt always happens!*! >:(* i only took this photo when i reached home soit's been swinged while walking home. hahaha
and the sprinkles are just on one side now. :( before, the whole donut was covered generously with rainbow sprinkles! :( those where the days when my dad brought donuts and munchkins *the yummy orange balls just behind the donut!* home so often cos he worked beside the dunkin donut factory! O.O oh! and the donuts are so small now! O.o everything seems to become smaller as you grow up(or sideways, in my case)! >:(
with shiela while waiting for them to come out.
we hid behind a car to scare those who went to pee. richard(juwelyn's bf)was supposed to take a photo while we were squatting like idiots but in the end it kinda didn't end up taken. hahas. complicated huh? and they were already out and we were lazy to re-enact our idiotic act. ;)
anyway, for our party, we've settled for an overnight stay at Samal(weeee! i'm so excited!:D), a mini-island across the sea. actually i'm not sure of how to exactly describe it but let's just say it's like sentosa but with many different resorts all over the place. it's got white sand dumped on top of it's originally black sand too(i'm not complaining!). hahaha. i told u it's like sentosa! :P but travel wise, you've got to take a 'boat' like the ones you would use to go to Pulau Ubin. (: no worries. i'm damn sure we'll take numerous photos when we go there so i'll spare you the tedious imagining part. :D
i shall go watch onetree hill now while eating my donuts! :D tahtah!

hard to say goodbye?
my flight home was rescheduled one day later which kinda got me pissed(very pissed, actually) cos everything waas just so perfectly planned! sigh. but no point whining over that huh? i JUST had have to complain. but i have every right to, ok? imagine! my domestic flight(manila to my city) had to be forfeited and my sister had to buy a new one! ugh! as i was saying.. no point whining. hahaha so i should seriously stop jumping into that path. (:
the boyfriend owed me swensens (cos he lost in this 'balancing game' we played in the playground.. hahahha. talk about childish), i checked in with roman first and then we headed back to t2 for my prize! roman had to meet a friend. *coughs* hahaha. since airfare tripled this year, i had to venture out and try budget airlines for the very first time in my life- and i must say this first time isn't very pleasing, at all. :( and the budget terminal speaks for itself very well. :p
emo boyfriend? nah. he's just always grumpy/sad in pictures. unless forced. :D
i asked the boyfriend to help me take a photo with this viva piñata menu thingy that was really nice and colouful and he did take several times but i looked fat(well. i am but atleast in pictures you can manipulate the truth! :D ahahaha) so i asked him to take again! (and again and again and again....) and some evil comment was the root cause of this sad face.
tsk. i think it's one of the best sad faces i have so far! hahaha. it even looks like i'm about to cry! :p hahas. but at the same time i'm like about to laugh. sheesh
anyway, we had calamari; its like essential in a meal i believe. hahas. yes, i'm a HUGE fan of calamari-literally and metaphorically. hahas
i had some bbq chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies
while the boyfriend had beef rice. hahas.
we were not supposed to order what we always do. hahs. and well, that was accomplished. :p and on top of all that a pepperoni pizza! :D i've never really had pizza in swensens but it was yummy! :D
fortunately and unfortunately, we didn't have enough compartments to accomodate a banana crumble, though i really wanted one. :( they should have it in smaller servings. :( but i was FULL like nobody's business. but budget airline's don't provide food so it was like saving for the coming rainy day. :D
bought pineapple tarts for pigrass and my family(coincidentally, Roman bought the same one for his family too!). :D then beibee and i just sat near the mrt station since it was already 11 and his last train's 11:18. sigh. if only it wasn't delayed then he would have had the car and he could have stayed longer. :(

when beibee left i went over to mac to meet roman and his friend( i think her name's Shin). pretty soon she had to leave too, so to kill time (flight was at 1:40 am, but we had to check in much much earlier) Roman and I went around to take Christmas photos after sending her to the bus stop! :D
my turn! :D
all together now!
hahas. :D then we went over to the budget terminal since it was almost 1. the Christmas tree wasn't so budget outside the terminal so we took more Christmas photos! :)



but inside... uh. i should just keep my mouth shut. :D
oh. and the one and only place you can eat there used to be Han's but i don't know why it became hanis.(?) the name itself doesn't sound appetizing. :( reminds me of hostel canteens! :/
and well.. this is it finally! :D
they were delayed in the boarding time as well so we had to queue there for like aeons. that's why i deeeeeep in my heart i know my pissedness is justified. hahas. but luckily my excitement drowned that feeling and i just looked forward to sitting down inside the silly plane. :)
and well. FINALLY. (: just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, the seats allocated to use required us to know how to open the exit door in cases of emergency! they dare give us an EXTRA responsibility! >:l grrrr. but oh well.
it was raining when we took off so couldn't really see pretty lights from looking out the window.
using roman's lappie, we watched one simpsons episode then we watched desperate housewives till 30 minutes before landing.
aaaaah. :) and we finally reached manila. :D
roman's family dropped me off at the other terminal for my domestic flight (thank you! :D) then i went to print out my e-ticket from the airline's office which is luckily just beside the terminal. the thing about the people in my country is that they can get over-friendly at the wrong-est time. tsk. shall not get into details but basically they took longer than they ought to take! i had to check in atleast 45 min(instead of the recommended 1 hour) before my flight so i can be in the flight in the first place.
by the time i reached there it was 630(flight's at 7) and i felt so relieved when the board with all the assigned check-in counters didn't indicate that for my flight is already closed! :D so scurried over to the said counter but to my horror the man was like, 'oh, actually that sign is wrong, we are closed. if you want you can proceed to counter 29 and see if you're lucky' o.O oh. i was in counter 5, mind you. so i was like half-running half-about-to-cry(i was just so freaked out cos i just wanted to go home yanoe) then this guard offered to help and asked me to talk to this man -supervisor, baby!- to request him- more like beg caaan.
initially he gave me a stern face and said 'sorry ma'am, it's closed and i'm sorry i can't do anything for you' in a very just-give-it-up-and-go-away tone! then he walked away.:( i think that's how it feels when people say they are shattered. i just wanted to go home so badly! i didn't care anymore. hahas so i started running after him (please don't imagine it to be so dramatic) and babbled like nobody's business about the delayed flight plus the confusion over the revoked ticket and my today-ticket by their own officer from the office not to forget the accompaniment of an even sadder face than the photo just now. and he just looked defeated! :D aaaah! (: and i felt like hugging that man. hahahah. but i didn't of course. :D to cut the story short, i was on that plane! :D
after one and a half hours, i was finally home! :) my sister fetched me and she bought breakfast(hehehe) from Jollibee for me! :D
reached home and died. hahas. and now my body clock's just gone haywire. i sleep from 6 am to 4pm. i'm starting to believe i'm an alien. HAHAHAHA.
anyway to end this off i just wanna say thanks for The Boyfriend for sending me off and the dinner and to shuhui for my 'farewell present' hahas. yummy! :D 
good riddance huh? oh yah. i thought the ribbon was cute and funny. seriously! hahas thanks zhu. :D

council steamboat (:
*caution: HEAVY picture load!*
we were supposed to meet at 6 but by 730 only 4 people reached! >:/ JIALAT. hahas. anyhoo, when 'everyone' was there, we took even longer to decide where to eat! :( *hungry tummy growling* some queued at swensens while we checked out seoul garden and as well as buy the cake shuhui recommended for hob and amanda's birthday. (: while walking around, saw rasha at royce! :) she was working that day! (:
we got to eat 2 blocks of yummy Royce chocs! :D eh, 3 actually. hahas. cos we went to the other Royce booth *they had 2 in taka!* as we walked around saw this double fudge brownie cheesecake and it look mouth-wateringly nice! so we bought it instead of the one we intended to. wrong move though! but it was still yummy l, so no regrets. :D
check out taka's pretty christmas tree! :D had to really really take photos with it! *and we sure did!*
hungry ghosts on the way to seoul. :p
reached there only to find out that we were skipped cos we were a big group! :( so sad. so waited a few more minutes. the "Dominic a.k.a. THE waiter" kept saying 5 mins, but i think they're timing's in slow motion. :/ TSK. took photos to pass time! :P






anyway after forever, we finally got our seats! :D sang birthday song for hob and amanda first before we got carried away whacking food! hahas
the double-fudge brownie cheeesecake. it sure sounded yummier than it tasted! :( who's thaaat behind? HAHAS
me and butchie were smacked right in between the birthday girls so we had to squeeze, and well, we had no choice but to be in the picture! :p 're-enactment' of the candle-blowing by birthday girls! :D
and cake-cutting! (: 
and so while they cut the cake, we took food to cook and eat! :D here's some photos while eating- that is when we had the time to pause to pose! (:





butchie looks at me like she's never seen someone so greedy before. hahas. haven't i been around to show you that all these while? hahahas and i wonder what shuhui is eyeing at! :P hahas
spaghetti time! :D
doesn't look so appetizing but it's actually nice! :D believe me. hhahaha
susian scolded me for putting too many veggie and other ingredients into the soup! :(
we made omelette too! (: not bad not bad! :D but the egg sticks onto the pan pretty badly. oh well.
i don't know exactly what happened but xiang xiang did smth really naughty. tsk tsk. check out esther's petty face. hahahaha

more photos! :D



esther looks so satisfied! froggy looks so... wei xiang. hahas. i guess they're ok now. hahas
wellahwell, after eating yummy ice-cream and other desserts, we asked the nice waiter to help us take a photo! :D
yaaay! (: after that as usual comes the never-ending photo-taking! :) nope, this is not the christmas pictorial YET. :D hahas by committee makes it a whole lot easier to put together! and there's an interesting pattern in the number too. hahas on the lead, we've got CCA comm with 4 members.
say weeei biiiiin! 




i can't believe i didn't take a photo with shuhui! :( how can that be? maybe i was so distracted by her legs. hahaha. stocking sure makes amazing wonders. hahas
up next we've got the 3 musketeers from Welfare! :D 

oh c'mon. that's not true..
uhh. for this. i think it's not either. but i'm okay with anything! :D hahahas 
and 2 Ccubies! :D *thanks for making me talk while taking our photo susian! grrr*
with a prettier background! :D
susian being evil, again. he says, 'this is to show reality.' -.-
technically speaking, there was 0 gen-x, but that would break the pattern. and since natty did drop by later, let's just give her credit and say 1 came from gen-x. :P anyways, we've finally reached the CHRISTMAS PICTORIAL segment of the nightie! :D

shunahmy day :D
hahaha. shunahmy=shuhui jannah mummy. :P i'm so creative, aye? thank you thank you. :D
anyhooze, we were supposed to go canoeing at the lake today because there's this 5 bucks promotion for 2 hours! but it was raining cats and dogs and pigs and cows and horses the whole day so we had to come up with a new plan. :( but since we're sooo spontaneous, *HAHAHA* they all suggested we watch Tatooist at JP then go bowling! well, why not? :)
sneaked in sushi and some Taiwan Street-food chicken cutlet for lunch into the moviehouse! hehe :) sorry for making it feel smell like a marketplace for mummy! :( hahas. *sushi's fishy smell!* Tatooist isn't scary at all, but the story and plot's pretty interesting. (:
mummy abandoned us after the movie to go meet her friends. >:( hahas. we asked her to invite them for bowling and play against us(me jan and shuhui) since she got 3 friends, then she can be the referee! :P hahas. she didn’t find the proposal attractive though. lol so before she went off, we took a photo with the loveliest background ever! THE bus interchange! :D so many rowdy people! >:/ TSK

then off we were for bowling! (: check out our funky bowling shoes! :D
and let the games begin! :)

i think we were pretty good even though we had many gutter moments! :P ooops! 
just to sidetrack a little bit.. take a peak into a cikopek's mind. HAHAHAHAHA

no drooling please, cikos.. :P and presenting.. the final score! :D
hahahahha. so many - pleeease! since we realised that we're not so fated to play bowling, we decided to try pool. hahas. :P off to the toilet to change our shoes first! (: cos we did not bring socks! we bluffed the auntie that we did though! HAH! :P
shuhui thought she could take a photo of me unglamly washing my feet on the sink! :P BLEAH
cheeky little girls! :D

you've got to admit we look more professional and not-so-unglam playing pool! (: hahas 





urmm.. maaaaaaybe NOT.
since its the type that once the ball goes in, it doesn't come out, we started catching the balls before they drop into the pockets and hiding them! (: 
we started pretty late so for our 'second' game we only had a couple left. :(
and since some balls unexpectedly go in, we had lesser
and lesser 
and lesser balls as we progressed until it can't even give us a proper shape no more! :( so we lined them up instead! hahahas. 
a smiley face won't hurt either! :P
and we decided to have our last game with the last 4 precious balls that we had! partly because the irritating-but-quite-nice-afterall auntie was becoming suspicious! :P
that's me behind the balls! :) *shuhui's artistic photo*
now look for jannah! :P
the pool master! macam professional dei!
we had fans around too! :P sho cute! :D
talented ones i must say! see, she can split!
doesn't she make you go WHOAAA!? hahahas. and meet the boy who cried wolf. hahas. fine, he was just running away from us when we wanted to take his photo. maybe he's got crush-es on us. HAHAHAHA. good taste, boy! (:
not so loyal, that fan. :(
pictorials before we headed to maccadonals. :)






bought 9 pc nuggets, mcflurry and later on, additional HAAT fudge sundae! :P hahahahha so evil. 



walked to the bus stop and waited for jannah's bus. check out jannah's blister or scratch on her foot! J is for Jannah! :) hahas. :p
anyway.. i was thinking maybe she should move somewhere nearby. hahas. but on second thought, not a good idea! we'll end up lepak-ing in mac every night. but i would surely love that!(:
