The Luge

Attire: Neon Tube
Bottom: Denim Skirt=>Shorts
Venue: Holland V=>Sentosa=>Bugis

Been a while since i last had Katong Laksa so we headed down to Holland V where i had my beloved Katong Laksa with cockles, without bean sprouts. Really wonder how people can eat with the spoon alone.. i need the aid of a fork!

No pictures over lunch cos the DSLR was in the boot and i was too lazy to lug everything around! Off to Sentosa! Can't wait to try the trapeze and go-kart!

We went for the Sentosa Luge (go-kart) & Skyride. Luckily i had a pair of shorts for the go-kart. i squealed in delight seeing a pink helmet but turns out it was for KIDS. Duh. Was rather excited when the skyrides came (and the staff put her hands on my shoulders, turning my back against the ride) that i ended up dropping one side of my Esprit slipper! AAArgh.. and then it got pretty sunny so i took out my Pink umbrella shamlessly much to the awe of the other skyriders..

Told myself that keeping myself fair is more impt than be bothered with other's reactions hee..

Luckily the staff found my shoe and we could go for go-kart happily! Can't believe i pulled over in the midst of the tracks to have my pic taken. Luckily my camera was with him haha..





Never had fun for the longest time. Guess you really can have fun if you allow youself to do it. Just got to forget yourself and open yourself up. I like playing with the water, felt like a child and forgot about the surroundings.. i like the tram ride.. it was nice and serene.

Tot i could have a swing and show my acrobatic skills but the trapeze at Siloso was not operational. *disappointed* Went to see the flower show.. i helped myself to the Chrysanthenum and took a few sniffs.. feels like i'm drinking chrysanthenum tea-yummy!

When the rain got too heavy, we found shelter at Imbiah Station together with the rest of the world.. chilled out at the cafe for some tea, reading my books (luckily i had an extra book for him, thou it's Love Sutras)..

The rain finally stopped, we took the bus ride and strolled to the beach carpark to the car. Met up with the gang for Lao Yu Sheng. My first Lao Yu Sheng at a coffee-shop nr Bugis :p And it was crazy..

I scooped some Yu Sheng with my chopsticks and asked..

Val: "What are we supposed to say huh?"

Jo: Just say Huat ah.. (Jo chanting Huat ah..tossing the Yu Sheng)

Everybody: Huat ah! Huat ah!

People from the other tables: Ha ha ha (looking at us)

Jo: Wan Shi Ru Yi!

Xf: Find a nice bf!

Val: Find a nice husband la!

Tien/Serene: (I didn't hear any..prolly got drowned in our voices)
Val: Have beautiful children! (With that, i pulled the yu sheng to the highest, almost touching the wall)

*At this point Jo, Xf, Tien, Serene looked at me laughing*

I found out very much later that the things u wished for are only supposed to happen in 2009..

Blind

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless
As you turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep
That even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you'll ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like these it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you'll ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

After all this why
Would you ever wanna leave
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you will ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go
That I loved you more
Than you will ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

Love Matters

Attire: White Dress with Black Flowers trimming

"Love Matters" is a movie about the lives of three guys - 52-year-old Tan Bo Seng, his 17-year-old teenage son Benny and 36-year-old Jeremy, Bo Seng's 'adopted' brother and their journey in finding love.

Bo Seng attempts to revive the passion with his wife. Jeremy is a playboy who who finally finds true love after 'learning' his lesson. Benny falls for his classmate's girlfriend only to realise he had been taken for a ride.

It was particularly awkward for me when half of the movie shows how deprived Bo Seng is and how he attempts to get 'it' from his wife each time, failing miserably till he had to force himself on her.

I should have read up on the movie, thought it was purely a CNY kinda movie which the usual dramas and heartaches.

But the heartwenching moments that tugged my heart strings was probably when Benny was sabotaged and was suffering in silence, hiding in the quiet corner of school after all the mocking from his peers.

Moving on is a simple thing to do, leaving what's behind is hard

Yesterday i asked The Mighty One for vision to see what's good for me. If it ain't going to work out, to take it all away from me.

Having a poor retrospection for figures but inclination to reminisce on memories certainly didn't help in the journey ahead.

"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory"

Chinatown- Love the sausages, hate the shit

Attire: Black Dress, but not little
Venue: Chinatown

While walking to Chinatown, we passed by some ducks hanging from their necks. Felt sad, tot i saw a duck with blood shot eyes. Their plight just seemed more sorry than those at the duck rice stalls you usually see.

It was rather unenjoyable wading through the crowd in the busy streets of Chinatown when you're in your office wear from working earlier with the heels hurting your toes and ur bag weighing a ton.

While queueing for the sausages, uncle manning the shop told us to move along, and not block his stall, saying that the caucasian had "hao de xiang chang ge ni men chi".

.......

But the Smoked Pork with Cheese German Sausage bought from Erich's Wuerstelstand delighted me. When the sausage chef asked in a monotonous manner: "Mustard, Ketchup, Chilli?" I said "yes" (meaning all of them) giggling. Bought for Jo (who disappeared into the crowd without a trace) and myself.

But not long after i came back after taking some photos to join the girls, Xf said a little boy's faeces had dropped on the road, beside the sausage stall while being carried away by the maid.

It was in front of where we were seated but the rest were still munching on their sausages, unaffected.

I felt nauseous. Tien took 2 cardboard pieces to cover the shit when some people stepped on it, smearing it. "You're a good Samaritan!" I squealed.

Then we imagined how the cardboard collecter would curse at who had laid her stuff on the ground, and collect it back, not knowing about the shit.

Evil!

Slept on the bus ride home, while the girls headed for Red Dot for drinks. Was falling over on my right, luckily the old auntie was engrossed snoozing to care about me hitting her shoulder. Phew.

The nap was refreshing, went home to change into smtg casual, carrying NO bag and met up with the girls at Artery. I had the Shochu with yoghurt. Yiping was saying that if guys in the toilets of California Fitness raised their hands above the cubicle, it means they are beckoning for somebody to enter the cubicle and...

Gee..didn't know that.

I then went with Jo to the Ladies. While she was at the basin, i went into the cubicle, closed the door and stuck out my hand ..

Val: "Joanne! Look here!!!" (Right hand sticking out from above the cubicle, fingers moving in a lingering manner)
Jo: "I'm coming.." (in a perverted tone)
Val: "Aaargh!! My door is still locked k!" (shocked at the perveted tone)
Jo: "You must be checking now to see if you locked your door properly right????

*traumatised*

We had supper at Maxwell Food Centre where i was v contented with my Egg Prata ( I dun like egg ones cos they are tasteless all the time), even if i had wanted 2 Kosongs/Cheese initially. It was yummy!

I was amazed by how lovely the soya bean drink tasted, judging at the looks of it..

You see, you see!!!! (points at pic on the right)

Where is my fountain of love?

Attire: Blue Dress

Can't believe my frds managed to coax me into visiting the Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City today..

The typical coversation went like this:

Jo: "We're going to the Fountain of Wealth tmr, heard that it's quite zun.."

Xf: "Joanne's dad even striked the TOTO twice after touching the Fountain of Wealth.."

Tien: "You believe meh???" (looking at me)

Jo: "Then dun blame me if you lose to me in gambling this CNY" (pointing at Tien)

Me: "I dun need the Fountain of Wealth.. i want the Fountain of Love!" *whines*

Jo: "Aiya! You can wish for wealth before CNY, and love before Valentine's Day!"

*ponders*

I used to giggle at the aunties and uncles who walk around the Suntec City- so supertitious!!! And now, here i am.. waiting at 2130 hrs for the scheduled time for the Fountain of Wealth to sprout its lucky water.

The female Security Guard refused to take a group pic for us, chanting: "I dunno how to use a camera x3" even when i told her that she simply had to press one button.

When she opened the gate, we walk along the isle to the springing jets. Felt as if the glaring spotlights were on us.. but as soon as we started walkin in circles, it was exciting and refreshing touching the waters tt i didn't care about how others look at us.

I asked Jo what she had wished for, and she replied that she forgot to wish for anything! *faints* It was our 2nd round already! So i screamed: "Strike the TOTO" (but i dun buy lol..)

. Jo helped me take a pic, but her hands were wet *Me stifled a scream*

After we completed our rounds, we read the instructions which said that we had to make a silent wish upon the 3 rounds. Oh man, no luck in TOTO then!

Shopping at Carrefour was therapatic. Other than being chided by old auntie cos my trolley blocking her way. But everywhere's like that.. the walkway's too narrow amidst the socks area! And i cant place the trolley in the wide walkway as my bag was there- too heavy! *innocent*

Bought some stuff hee..
