Ex colleague meet up!

I met Mervin, my ex-colleague.
It's been half a decade since we last met up. I know this photo came alot later than it should. But here it is!

Taken using his superb Cam.


This too..

I wanna try my skills on that wow-camera too!

And that's us!

Free Food!!

Guess what? Fish & Co is compensating me with a pair of vouchers for Fish & Chips!! Haha.. Who asked them to make the mistake of not having tartar sauce?! Heh. Yeah!!!!!

Some Catch-ups

Wed, I went JB with my family. EAT + SHOP. I literally ate the whole day.. From prawn mee to ramen to sushis to KFC. Did you say sinful? Yea, that was how i felt. But, who cares. I love food!!! We set off early as 10am. Till almost 10 at night then we reached home. The jam at customs was still as bad. (there was never an improvement)

We were there to celebrate our dad's birthday. His 50th. i think so.. :/ I was soo drained..

Thurs was the last day of my work man. RELIEVED.
Yea, and i love the way i ended my THURS-DAY.
I met up with Ms Lin J.Y. and Mr Lawrence (JC tutors), along with Frankie for dinner.
Talked and talked for 3hours.. Gosh. We had California Kitchen, again? YEP! We ate pastas and shared a pizza. Thin crusted, so the toppings were like damn heavy.

I can't believe it, Mr Lawrence and Frank was like talking 'bout the days when they were young. Like the clubs they went to. The i-dunno-what-bands and the i-dunno-their-name-hot-babes. Their time. Not mine. HAHA... sorry... Ms Lin and I were discussing about hair and what nots. Oh, she quit from being a teacher with NYJC - MOE teacher. She's joining this school of arts, teaching the 13-16 year olds. Still teaching chinese thou. It's really nice to see your teacher doing well. I'm sure there'll be another such gathering again. Eveyone enjoyed. Plus that sumptous dinner. Slurps!

So today, i'm officially free!! Like a free-soul. Slp more, that's what i told myself..

Loves, Y Lin.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve, everyone!!!
Hun and i had a wonderful plan. We hated to squeeze with the rest of the rats, so we thought of preparing our own simple dinner at home. We got our ingredients like a day before at NTUC. Things like tenderloin, bacon, portabello, sausages, cheese, mayonaise, blah blah blah.. Thou it was just some simple dishes, it's quite ex can.. Perhaps we didnt meet the economies of scale thingy. Everything in small portions & quantities.

Marinated tenderloins with onions.. It smells like heaven. REally. Hun said this was what he self-learnt when he was in AU.


He was adding pepper to them.


Soya sauce...

Check out that hardworking face.. WHile i was hardworking too! -- at taking pictures.


Bacons cut into small pieces ready to fry.

So he decided that he should allocate sth for me to do to prevent me from skiving.

Really, there isn't free lunch in the world, in this case, it's dinner.

These portabellos. Very ugly. And disgusting. It doesnt even look edible in the first place. I guess it really took alot of courage for the first person to prove its 'edibility'.

With bacon 'crumps' and cheese.

Hun was incharge of frying the beef. Like making sure that they're not too cooked. Like medium rare.

Now, the oven's time to do it's part!!

And before we knew it, all were ready!!!

After dinner, we watched some tv programs to keep ourselves entertained before going for our early mid-night movie. Well, it was at 10.30pm but should last after 12. So, considered mid-night movie right? Heh. We watched 'I AM LEGEND'. It was good i should say. But can really give you too much of adrenaline rush. I was 'kanchiong' the whole time. Kept grumbling at him for bringing me to such a 'unrelaxing' movie. Heh.

This's a picture of him at the ticketing counter. See how dressed-down we were. Ya, cus we watched at AMK HUB ma. Die, did i sound auntie?... Gosh.. i'm aging...

Christmas Day at Godparents'.

Tuesday, the christmas day. I woke up almost 9am already. I was supposed to go Godma's place at Kembangan. It spells like FAR can.. I thought i was the only freak who wakes up this early on a Public Holiday. But i was so damn wrong. Train was packed like tuna. Yea, i was one of the tuna pieces in there.

I managed to find my way there fortunately.. Along the way i thought i saw Steph. I squinted my eyes under that piercing sunlight just to make sure i wasn't dreaming or what. I really saw her! Damn, i was thinking to myself, here's SG not UK, how come she's here? Only to know that she returned last wk.. Hah. Unbelievable. She was on her way out to buy 'ingredients' with her friend.

So, i was on the right track to Windy Heights.

For so long, i wanted to take a pict of their house, and here it is!

This's the balcony-cum-garden-cum-porch area.


Where Chips lives..

This's his home..

Let me show you the other parts of the house. It's pretty spacious and cosy. Well done up i should say..

Don't you love this set of sofa? Cus i love 'em to bits. They're like so damn big, that when you sit in, you literally 'sit-into-it'. And you'll go "ahhhh...."

The corridor leading to the rooms.

*Rooms are not taken here for privacy*

I went to the kitchen, Godma was like so not camera ready.. She was grumbling away...

Then after awhile, i was in the living room watching tv on my own.. I got soo bored and i start cam-whoring..

I was busy with taking these...

While they were all busy with their own stuff like these...

Steph brought her friend home to bake cookies .. Really enthu man..

One final picture of myself before i go 'visit' godma to see what she was doing..

So i see, she's busy with 'maria-ing'... She's always washing and washing.. She loves CLEAN.

Just outside babe's windows, this was the view. I thought i liked it..

Walking down the walk-way(corridor) from the last room.

To the living room!

I'm most proud of this! Cus i was a 'participant' in choosing them! Heh.

God parents. I really love 'em like my own. I hope they'll be happy always.

Who says only i love cam-whoring?

Anyhow, hope x'mas was a truly fun day for all of you!

Loves,

Y Lin.

Hunny

It was a totally relaxing day, just purely shopping. Nothin much to think about. Just practically weaving through the crowded-crowd. We bought $157~ worth of chocolates! Gosh.. First time i see ppl buying soo many chocolates. And that's hunny, n he's making me imagine eating them all in one day. Detrimental. Scary. EEeWWww. Bought cookies for godma, as i'm gonna visit them on tues, yes, christmas day, Cant' wait!!!

And last on the list is getting my own x'mas pressie. I saw this bag at Guess, those patented kind. Not very big, only 2 zipped pockets (one large n one internalised), one 3 small pockets inside for you to categorise your 'garbages' that you're so used to just throwing them all in. Well, I wanted something that i can bring to school and out on weekends. But it seems too small to put notes eh.. Hunny says "Ai Swee Mai Mia"

I was still indecisive (you know, girls~), so we went to Coach and Agnes B. I saw this patch-work bag, nice eh.. But like abit '夸张' to bring to school. So i ditched that idea. Nth from agnes b.

Yea, whatever la.. heh. Hunny bought the guess bag for me!

Thank you hunny, for gettin me the Guess bag that I like as my 2007 x'mas gift. Our last x'mas seemed like ytd. Time flies. Thank you for many many things.

On the way back to get GG, at that fateful junction, I met Niven (fellow seal sports instructor), Weijie (primary 1-4 buddy), Victor & Liang hong (friends of friends). Whoa! madness.

Shortly, we got to hun's place after dinner. It's not relac time, have to '做工' eh.. WRAP CHOCOLATES!! Btw, it was fun wrapping 20 over boxes of chocolates with you, thou we wasted one hour of our life on that. BLEAH :)

*Seriously, i really don't understand why you kept laughing AT me the whole time ytd.*

Did i look funny or something?

No right?..... So STOP LAUGHING AT ME! :P

Y, Lin.

My thoughts

Today was a relaxin day for me. Not relaxin at home thou, outside home.
I visited my granny. Hees. Been some time when i visited her and talked to her and grandad. She's aged, i've only really realised that today.
She said she cooked my favourite just so she might have a chance to see me.

My loss all along, not being able to appreciate ah ma's everything.
Will visit her more often, promise!

( on my own thou, i can concentrate on talkin to them this way)

I'm seriously pissed with dad and mom. I just think they're too much many times. Dad, forever doesn't admit that he just treats ying beta. Seriously, many can tell, except himself. I find my own comfort, my own strength, else where. I told myself, i'll grow out of needin them like i used to. Dad, forever cannot take my words seriously. Like AH MAH is NOT EQUAL to FRANKIE. I don't see & understand why i need to repeat sooo many times. If he doubts, then forget it. I really regretted taking his ride this aftnoon.

And Mom, forever nagging. She doesn't just nag, she NAGS!! And that sorta power needs thousand years of cultivation and inner strength to come. She's attained that. I am already NOT HOMELY, face it. It won't change. Plus her sacarcisms that comes uninvitedly without any slightest sigh of provoke that comes from me. It's sickening. So, plus she's making me hate staying home, and why do i see a reason staying home. Only when i'm tired. I appreciated everyone at home, literally everyone. BUT THEY CANT.

I find myself constantly seeking shelters to avoid thinkin of the bad stuffs. The fear of going home to face the music. (which i can never catch the tune) I can't help but keep wanting to stay away from home for as much as i can. I know one day i will. Just bring in the money after i start working and stay away from as much nonsense as i can.

I seriously think i'm under some psychological stuff. I mean i will really go see a doctor soon. Perhaps i'm suffering from depression, or even worst cases which i don't even know it myself.

Anyhow, i've pictures of my AH MAH to share. :)
To take myself away from the unhappy thoughts..

~Ah Mah lookin happy in my white shawl~


~My Ah gong meddling with some stuff~


~Ah Mah and me!!~

That's all, folks!

Y, Lin.
