Well, that's all of us going on a boat trip. Didi didn't go with us becuz he sprained his neck while playing, I don't know who he honestly managed it though, I guess he was trying to act Michael Phelps-y and CREEEEAAAAKK there goes his little neck. he had to walk with his neck cocked to one side, like some stroke patient.
He even had to fish like that. Poor fishes. Not only do they get killed when pulled on land, but they actually get to see my paralysed bro/:
Anywees, this was the baby that stole my sissie's heart. Normal human reaction upon seeeing a chubby baby ; "oh god, you're soooo cuttteeee!!" and start piching his cheeks or start plucking from his mum's hands and run away with him. Something along that line.
But NO, the people there are weird. They start pulling off his pants. My heart really goes out to him, his pride had shattered at a tender age of 15 months.
While they indulged in the game of "who-can-pull-the-baby's-pants-fastest", we played more civilised games. oh yeah, they love SNAP. what a bloody boring game man.
But for the poor child's pride, we lured them away and made them indulge in another healthier game.
Ain't it beautiful? This is the scene once I get out of our cosy little woodeny hut. Did I tell mention that that we had sleep with candles, because lights' out is at 12.
So the thing is that when it is dark, it can be REALLY DARK. It is very hard even to go to the toilet to pee, because you may accidentally step on a lizard or a gecko or something of that sort. But tthe candles weren't a good idea, when we woke up, we found our faithful rug burnt into ashes.
This is my angmoh friend. i was wearing my Swiss cottage white shirt (i'm not that patriotic lah, cuz it was very hot mah) and he was like " Hellloo! I'm from Switzerland, nice to meet you, my fellow countrymen" and he started singing the swiss anthem. God, i only know how to sing Swiss Cottage! Swiss Cottage! Blaze a Path Of Glory.
We trekked all the way up to the Chado Cliff and this is the panaromic (darn, i don't know how to spell it) can you just imagine how much we actually climbed?! just look at the size of the island at the background, We're That near to the clouds :D:D:D
isn't this an awesome picture or what?
I was listening to T-shirt by shontelle when I took this. The song is goooddd, inspiration for an artist's soul man.
Mummy looks so farmarish, like she's going to take out a shovel and start planting some tomatoes.
On the way down down down. I don't know why there were so many bamboos there.
but they were very useful, because going down can be pretty steep. so pulling a bamboo and uprootting them were part of going down.
I think i was counting how much vegetation we actually cleared. Just send us and we can totally deforest a whole island.
We were going to snorkel after playing beach volleyball. this time, we were going with our new italian friends! The Marinis <33>
i was the one who thought the boy was very very cute, so i went up and started talking to him. then dad went over and made friends with the bald guy, mum followed suit & the next thing they were laughing at us when we were playing twister.
see? the curly hair guy's name is Victorio Marini. Oh god, he just reminds me of Corbin Bleu- Chad Danforth, the guy from Jump In! and High School Musical.
i even got to spring his hair and check what it feels like. when his hair was safe for springing and touching, mei and didi started pulling and letting go off his hair at extremely high velocities. We don't have such hair back home man, it was like seeing snow.alright, crap.
All of our snorkels were flourescent yellow. CAN YOU SEE ME!!! the sea was extremely deep, I couldn't even see the bottom, but i could see the bloody sea urchins from the surface.
I saw a moray eel too!! but we had to hold our breaths and dive for awhile to get a closer view.
It's really an undescribable feeling. being surrounded by fishes, nibbling at you from all corners, and OH GOD! the corals were just swaying along, me and mei had this competition to close as many clams and oysters as fast as we can.
Nemo waved at me through those purple ferny fans.
Victorio took so many pics of me underwater, since he had a diving camera :D
Did i mention that ALL of them have DIVER's LICENSE- even the Mum who was super kan chiong when she sees jellyfishes& starts hyperventilating and pulling out what's left of her hair?
they're the MOST atheletic family I have ever seen. Victorio is a Triathlete- he swims, he runs, and he cycles. Man! i mean, I just do that for leisure,and when I feel obese after stuffing my face.
But he's into it as a competitve sport, &holding the championship title in his District in Italy. The cuter one, Michaele (me-kell-leh) is as cool too (: Uncle Romano is the coolest, he is an AMETHYST dealer, like he knows EVERYTHING about precious gems and chinise artefacts. ohman, ohman, he knows about me!!about me!! ME!ME!ME!
my fins were black, mei was dark blue and didi were emerald green.
Vic was free diving without oxygen tanks, i don't know where Miggy was. i bet he was poking and scratching the scales off some fishes. Romano and Dad were still laughing nonstop, even in the water. Apparantly, it was some inside joke.
Before this, Vic was training for his triathlon next summer. While the boat was moving, he just jumped off the and started to swim to shore!?! that was his usual training; ohgosh, he was like just the only one in the sea doing his medley stuff with the boat in front of him. i was like fnjoweufwobvguwobuwerovgu;. Loss for words.
Miggy and Vic were wrestling each other now. After i took this photo, i was pulled down the water D: After i was dry man.
Miggy loves sleeping like that on the tip of the boat. Mum is called Lucia, another coincidence. My mum said a teacher can spot a teacher too. like a gay can spot another gay, something along that line. Loudhailer voice, dirty marker-staines fingers, laugh at the weirdest moments, large pair of lungs. confirm plus chop. TEACHER!
when Me and mei were just lying around on the beach, the guys were playing around.
Oh ya, we were talking casually with Lucia about religion.you know, just casual chitchat. " Aunt Lucia, you're a Christain? Catholic?" " Nahhh, I'm A good Buddhist" she went. Shocked shocked. " What type of buddhist?" we asked, out of curiosity.
" Nichirin Daishonin Bu-" "WHHHHAAAATT??" WE ARE TOO!!! god, how small can this world be? She was the founder :D:D
From that day on, we went to their bungalows and started our prayers facing the wall. Man, i mustmustmust memorise Daimoku already, Vic and Miggy can do that without even looking at the book. Dang it.
you guys rock man! i'll send a chinise chess set as promised, Vic:D
Both of them can speak a little english, Spanish AND italian. Double dang.
Oh man, i can only apeak English, and my chinise is undescribably pathetic-so "great" that Mr Mak can't help but snigger to himself and shake his head hopelessy at his higher chinise wanping D:
Don't remind me about hokkien, i can't speak enough to save my own life.
Ah mah gets really worked up when I can't answer except to keeep grinning ,smiling from ear to ear and nod my head until my neck breaks. it's called body language yo.
We went to a Italian Pub-Diner to have
Maguerittas and Pizzapizzapizza PIZZA for Christmas and all of us partied (: alcohol-free for kids though.
Victorio, Radiance, Amethyst, Michaele <33
WE ROCKED LIKE HELL MAN. We had a super great time, thanks so so much for the laughters, jokes and I still don't understand why I'm always tickled. Man, you guys are the only ones I know who sleep on top of each other and piggyback each other to peep at girls pee. Haha, SHORTIES. We'll come and visit you guys in Italy soon (dad promised)
Good friends are hard to find, hard to lose, and impossible to forget. (Especially those you were left with for company in a small island of a population less than 300) lol.
I was trying to point at my brother and threaten him that if he din't stop taking weird candid shots at me, I would let him eat my contacts. He is still pretty scared off those plastic fibrey stuff you stick on to the eyeball to have better vision.
But obviously, he still took me doing weird things. Like eating my mum's ears (you couldn't blame me, I was getting really hungry, waiting for my UNAGI BENTO SET) (:
These are the curtains that separated one room from another in that sakae restaurant. It was damn cool, we could sit like those real japs on the floor and eat our Bento sets. This is me and Mei. We look really different, don't we? During CNY, all my relatives will start pinching my cheeks until it turns red, and start cooing " oh amy! you look exactly like your dad!" come on man! dad
I think i went into depression when the food took so long to come. i tried hanging myself -;-
LOVES* my didi and meimei. I'll be the BIGGEST AND BEST DA JIE! I'll protect them from evrything and anything. Maybe except from crocodiles.. and erm. snakes. other than that I'm pretty brave (smirks)
We were just playing around with those curtainy things. by the way, the manager was smiling at us, I think he was kinda watching our " performance", and he was like totally beaming away like we were some free watch-while-you-eat-attractions in his restaurant. We even danced ballet on the seats (:
alright, I'm a pathetic looking prisoner, who doesn't have her food. I think the cook probably lost her wok or something or they had to go to japan sakae headquarters to get some special ingrediants -- Man, JUST FEED ME!! oh my god, I sound like an animal in an enclosure.
this was the picture of the day, like this awesome back to back thing. its kinda cool (: we are wearing matching pants i think. anyway, this is the biggest room in the whole restaurant, you can actually HOLD MEETINGS there, EAT THERE- er, I think the lack of food is really making me go whangy-gangy, We go to a restaurant to eat -.-
this is a couple seater.
squatting down and eat doesn't really work for me, my leg goes all crampy and stuff. there's a special way to seat okay, the manager was demonstrating to us, like cross like toes like something like like like..
aiyah, i was looking at his moustache all the time, it even looked like jappy seaweed.
another way to dine, is on bean bags! its ultra comfortable, but the tables are really tiny, we din't go for that, cuz when we eat, we really spread our arms all around.
my bru, aiyah, open legs so big for what!
OOHHH! see that! SEE THAT!!! thats.. (drumrolls please) aiyah, cymbals too, ooh, play the fanfare call (: it's ME!
Bon appetit, i'll make a mental note to hide mum's garden-theme-blouse somewhere. I'm so not going to let her wear that anymore! She is supposed to dress young, and this makes here look like some orchid garden man.
But anyway, the food was great great great, see my huge smile. I love eating, REMEMBER. I LIVE TO EAT, and not EAT TO LIVE :D
the lovely NG Family, if i marry next time, I'll change my husband's sirname to a NG too (: it is very simple to remember and write, its just 2 letters.
My sis was laughing at my brother trying to drink miso soup from a straw. My unagi bento was awesome. the eel dripping with sauce. Just perfect.
My sis has a dimple! Everyone in my family has a dimple. THATS SO UNFAIR. Never mind, it'll develop along as I grow bigger, like some expansions to the skin or something,. DADDYYYYY~ you gave didi and meimei some holes in their cheeks, why not me!!! MUMMMMMYYYYY~ why didn't you give me a dimple, maybe it got lost in your womb or something..
with or without dimpies. i can still smile. Ooh, look at my long long legs. I can seee a little muscles (: must be from the swimming!
Camwhoring in the toilet. thats why girls take so long time in the toilet, you guys think we have so much to pee meh?
My family & I went to this uber cook sakae restaurant, & we its so Jappy, and we loved it so much, that my sis wanted to become a A japanese permanent citizen! then we kept going "oishi!" & rubbed our tummies and then start burping. Mum found that totally amusing, Dad was very happy too(: I love it when my family is so so so together, cuz they are the ones who'll stand by me no matter what I do, and no matter what I say, I'll always have a part in this place I call home. (:
(See, i told you, I reached this AHA! moment, this state of nirvana, and at total peace with myself. Man, spread the joy man! Yipee, its gonna be Xmas soon!! I love this part of the year most, hey, it's not cuz of the presents &all alright (althought I love getting them) but its a time to be kissing under the mistletoe people ((: lol, i was joking.
This is after Band dinner! This is my favourite picture! I don't know why Nic is covering there. Not like me and maddy's gonna kick it right? although we have those awesome high heel shoes.* Smiles evilly. I can totally imagine zhengyong's pervertic smile, with his eyebrows doing some weird dances/:
Maddy's really an amateur, not that I wanna pick on her. But she was wearing those baby heels! those with the lights and those Mary had a little lamb music. She was complaining that she sinks in the mud and guess what? she was immobile the next day, yep. she had to crawl to work next day.
Fortunately for me, i STILL was brave enough to wear heels to work the next day. But it snapped, and thats another story, we'll keep it for another day. Yep, she had the FOREVER 21 cross with Topshop look. We were the last to leave the place, cuz we were camwhored. Wheeeeeee.
This post is gonna be all about maddy, cuz she was the one who gave me the cookie recipe and all these pictures. i think it was prettaye sheena or cutee evan who took this pic. I don't know what was with maddy's hand the entire night, it was like that all the way. I think this was during Adil's speech (sorry man, no offence dey :S)
this is pretty CHLEO. how cool to have a name like that. normally it'll be Chloe or Cole or something. Its awesome to havea cool name, hmm, like MINE! i mean, who has the same name as me in this entire planet?
If your answer is NO ONE, give yourself a pat on the back.
Evan (the curry pok)
sheena (tau pok), amy the (wan pok), maddy (cow), hosin also known as the (neh neh pok), and lastly jewel (mee pok)
This is so in that moment kinda thing. Everyone was yam-seng-ing. Although we were in the first table, and nearest to the stage, we still managed to take pictures. We rock man! Next time, we'll be drinking champagnes with our hubbies. OOOOoohhh.
we kept yelling when we supposed to be saying YAMseng, like everyone else, we went "Nananana, don't phunk with my heaaaarrt !" (at least that was what i was saying) " ROARRRRRRRRR" " KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM."Maddy was more like roaring with laughter & of course, Ms Ma stared with that I-DON'T-KNOW-BOTH-YOU-SENIORS-KINDA-FACE.
We were thinking of robbing the atm machine along the way home. It's my first time robbing, so I din't come in prepared, so i started to box the machine (which was made of hard and strong steeel, and some uber powerful metal) Nic was smelling the money we robbed. We're kinda retarded robbers, usually PROFESSIONAL robbers would like flee the scene of the crime, without showing evryone that money snells goood ya? & we still posed!
Happy day (:
Acting adorable, great day ! many loveeee <<3
5:33 AMplease detach your eyes from this page, and go to my friendster for band pickies! I think maddy has like 70% of mine, which she hasn't given me, cuz she's busy working with a KAUJIE, lets make life easier for you and me, he'll be known as THE COW from today onwards!
Hmm, I cam-whored, (alright handphone-whored) as and when I'm at my little corner, and when my BIG BOSS is out either playing golf or drinking Teh.
Yesterday was really weird. I had this super new MOTTO for my life. Instead of sitting back and relax, and get told what to do, I had this calling to be initiative. WHICH ALSO MEANS: showing off to your boss that you're capable and should be promoted ASAP. SO i went over to those huge overflowing files, and started taking initiative and typed the whole data from it. I was like super proud of myself, and smiling & sitting super straight, adding some height, extending my neck, hoping BIG BOSS would notice me. yeah, you know.
Then suddenly, everyone was like going bonkers in there. Like " DID YOU SEE THE WORK ORDER FILE?!" " I'M GONNA KARATE CHOP THAT PERSON MAN!" & alot of " NO! I DIN'T SEE IT!" Aiyah, this sort of stuff, is for K.P.Os to kaypoh about. INITIATIVE, amy remember! So, I went " NOPE, NEVER SEEN THAT WORK FILE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE." & i got alot, mind you, ALOT of proud looks when they saw me showing my awesome INITIATIVE.Roger was like overturning his whole desk, allison was walking around in circles for like 50 times and retying her hair another 100 times ( she does that when she's stressed) the Loud hailer- alicia was paging for the LOST FILE& calling everyone who had been in contact with that mystical object. I was there, thinking, it is JUST a file. you can go create a new one, by punching some holes in papers here and there, right. No biggie.
But, I'll check in case, you know, if someone had framed me or didn't want me to get the best newcomer award, and OHMYGAWD. when i turned over the file which I was typing from. Written on it was: WORK ORDER. i hate this 2 words for the rest of my career. I got tickled & karate-chopped to death.
Oh ya, i broke my heel on my way to work this morning. So i went barefooted cuz punctuality is key for a upcoming rising businesswoman like me.
( close your mouth leh, weiwei. STOP SAYING my successful carrer is a PINCH ME MOMENT)
Till later ~
