A very good evening to you all. To all my dearest readers. Haha. Few of you there may be. I would like to apologise for going AWOL on my blog. the lack of affordable internet access during my trip to thailand and being an extremely busy man enjoying my family gatherings and recent birthday celebrations, as well as a new found, steadily decreasing, mild addiction to dota. no thanks to the time spent playing in cresendo which i counted was only 6 hours btw. much less i m sure than everyone else hus pro enough to get at least 2 kills a game. lol.

well. first and foremost. my trip to thailand. this one was way way more tiring than the last. and i guess i totally lost my belief in the systems and the people hu run it. i had some fun here and there. i tried the food from those roadside little village stalls, gotta love the kuah chap with pigs blood [sounds gross, tastes awesome!], chicken plus roast pork plus char siew with rice with super imba chili garlic sauce, minced pork rice with loads of chili padi, coconut ice cream, mango glutinous rice. no wonder i gained 2 kg. did some shopping at Sai Yok Waterfall, Floating Market and Future Park, got quite abit of accessories. haha. not enough time tho. would really like to visit these places myself one day. those moments aside. i was pretty much sick of being ordered around by people hu are my superiors but technically not my bosses, being treated like wad i say is stupid even tho they end up following my proposed solutions anyway. thank God thats the last big thing that i ll have to do during my time as a COPA. apart from the 26th of Dec to 2nd of Jan minus, 27th Dec, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. i dont envisage myself spending more than 2 consecutive days in camp anymore.

anyway. since i got back really really late on the 8th. its been a blast!! my dearest Julie Ong greeted me at the airport!!

9th - Met Baby for lunch!! We had cheap and good rice!! now that i m blogging about it, i feel like having it again. haha.

10th & 11th - Had a driving lesson the first time in 4 weeks in the morning in the 10th. Went up to the PA Bungalow after. A yearly family thing where my uncle books it for a week so the family can get together. Heh. Went cycling alittle, recee-ed nice places along Pasir Ris Park, had a BBQ on the second night before i headed home! Had an outrageous and ridiculous soccer game with my cousins on the little grass patch as well. haha.

12th & 13th - Baby was coming up to hang out with me. So i met her at Kallang in the morning. We went down, bought newspapers [for some weird reason, the life sections was missing and we had 2 classifieds] and bread. hung out till we had TURKEY for lunch. haha. before we went off with my cousins to bowl and have bubble tea before a cycling session in the evening. baby spent the night and we shared the room with my grandma. haha. i was nice to wake up to her beside me. somewhat warm and fuzzy. or wen xing if u wanna say it in chinese. we went off to church on sunday evening before we had a meeting to discuss our cell appreciation. headed off to chinatown to get a plier for earrings [cus the silly girl realized that the metal parts off the wooden earrings i got her from thailand had rusted so she wanted to DIY replace them] i love her for always making the most out of was she has. had my first taste of KOI bubble tea.

14th - Met baby and we went off to have pepper lunch. Heh. Shopped alittle. After that i headed to secret recipe to get a cake for my cousin cus i couldnt join her for lunch. lol. i ended up being dragged to play some arcade games with her. haha. wadever made her happy la. but i got totally thrashed. haha. fancy a 20 year old being thrashed by a 11 year old.

15th - Pretty much slacked and recuperated at home for most of the day. Heh. Had a run in the morning tho. Went off to meet Sarah in the evening before we both headed for the Council BBQ. Most of the guys already ORD-ed. haha. patiently awaiting my turn. nevertheless. it was good to see the whole lot of them again. personally for me, i was never that close to my council members. and it felt awkward from time to time, even for the so called 'friendlier guys' like me. but i guess frens are great to have and u ll never make progress if u dont take steps. overall it was good. haha. even tho the rain killed our chances of BBQ and we had stir fried stuff instead.

16th - Once again, i spent the day at home resting. Threw in some time to exercise as well. Gotta increase my intensity to shed the kilos from Thailand. Went off to California Pizza Kitchen to have dinner with my aunts and my cousins. Haha. We had a great evening. I hung out with my cousins after that at cine. Its funny how we can all go out together and have fun even tho our ages are like 11, 14, 16, 20 and 30. but its all family and it was nice. the sedona torilla soup at CPK is really good. haha.

17th - I was at home in the morning before i went to meet Baby at Zara Liat Towers at 2pm. Heh. Last day of her internship and she was proudly showing me the excellent grade she got for her time in Club21. i m so proud of her for giving it her best and her all even tho it was cold and tough!! heh. we walked around Ion, spotted some nice clothes for me to splash my cash and Topman cus they were on 1/2 price sale. haha. but we sped off to Lido to catch Avatar. It was an awesome show. I really liked it. The CGI created loads of interesting animals and that kinda world so serene and beautiful just sucks u into it. But the CGI didnt interfere with the quality of the storyline which i thought was a pretty good way to spend 2 hours and 45 mins. haha. when Jake Sully said he fell in love the forest. i think at that point in time, so did most of us. I had buttered popcorn too!! which baby so nicely accomodated, saved some cash on the drinks and we had liang cha from home instead. the show was great. the company, was even more awesome. heh. we went to far east after to look for a cross her my baby's cousin Alex, but we didnt find any. and baby finally got me a bag. $149 from zara. i paid for 1/5 cus baby was on budget. but i was really touched cus baby doesnt usually spend that kinda money on me or herself for that matter or anyone. i really love the bag dear. LOL. i love it so much and i find it so nice that i she bu de carry it out and let the dirt in the air corrupt its newness. thanks babe!! In the end, we headed down to 313 Somerset for dinner. lol. we wanted marche but the queue was madness. literally, 30 plus people!! so we took off to vivo instead. heh. and the queue. there was no queue. even tho we only spent $33 on a budget dinner, the crepe and the rosti's along with salad and tomato basil soup was excellent. good value for money. haha. i was considering the meat. but i was thinking, i have a meat buffet with jared and matt coming up so, we ll take the crepe. heh. the blood orange apple juice was really nice as well. we hung around vivo. took photos. talked and spent some quality time together. i really enjoyed it. heh. finally around 11 plus. the mall was gonna close, so we went down to the riverside where baby presented me with 5 home baked cupcakes and a birthday song at 12 am sharp!! heh. baby's dad came over and she drove me back at 12 plus. it was an awesome way to start 18 December 2009!

18th - lol. i woke up to an empty house cus my parents were off for half a day's of work. baby. came down to meet me at zara where i bought my jacket [which i sadly returned in the end cus M was too tight and L was too long :(] we checked out perlini silver for a cross for Alex before i headed down to meet my parents in town while Julie went to meet her fren, Audrey for New Moon LOL. i had lunch at the Old Raffles Hotel near City Hall. according to my dad, its call China Palace or sth. haha. but the set lunch was awesome!! from the pork seaweed soup, to the tim sum, the oriental chicken and char siew, to the olive fried rice and the fish. hearty and awesome. haha. went down the shaw isetan with my mom to look for my pair of converse shoes. couldnt find it. silly salegirl had a really bad attitude. my mom was quite peeved with her. haha. in the end. i went down to bugis to get my shoes instead. my dad paid for it!! haha. awesome stuff!! totally unexpected!! i thought he would have asked me to pay for it myself since her already gave me an ang pao. haha. went back home. initially i kept friday night free cus i thought we would have cell group. i only knew cgm was off on the day itself and i told my parents i had evening plans. so i decided to meet baby!! heh. i was hoping jac and reagan would join us but they were too late and tired by the time they returned from JB. haha. they were celebrating jac's mom's birthday. heh. awesome day to celebrate a birthday. so baby and i went to eat at waruku before we headed down to wisma and then finally, we ended up at bugis cus i had to change the defective aldo accessories i bought earlier in the day. heh. visited diva where baby was memorized by the elephant accesories. lol. she was going crazy and she kept telling me how cute they all were. haha. i got u the ring from diva at vivo today dear!! we looked around topman. we sat at the fountain and admired the christmas tree for abit before we decided to take a look at the silver corner for couple rings. unfortunately, the designs we liked were out of sizes. rarr. next time i guess. it would have been nice to get rings to mark a new start and a different dimension as well as level in our relationship since i so stupidly and till today still kick myself over it, threw away the last one. ah wells. we went off to get a drink after before baby decided that she would come over to my area and take the bus home. i had a really nice time with her. heh. she started it awesome!! my parents took it up afew notches!! baby gave it a grandstand finish!! haha.

now i m lazy. tired and shagged. haha. so i shall continue blogging tmr!! cheers you people!!
