Double two

So how I feel being OLD... Rmb a year ago when I was busy with the planning of the 21st party.. And now I am another year older.

Celebrated with my family on 1 Jan. Unfortunately, I woke up to very bad stomach. For the whole day, I was so sick, twj prepared organic fruits salad but I merely had half. ): Since it was PH, my dad was free and I really wanted some family time... SO... I tried any methods to make myself feel better like taking eno, drinking HOT lemon water, forcing ginger tea/juice and whatnot. 

 Asked aunt n uncle along since they were at our place and they are my next closest kins beside my family I would say. heh! They have treated us like their own kids since young and ofc my dad wouldn't say no to having his sister joining us. 

 The bill was $400 plus , not the most exp dinner outside but I appreciate it DAD! But do not go for buffet when u are not feeling well. hah! 

2 Jan, Dinner with bball friends. A lot of them couldn't make it and apologised to me, I really don't mind! I appreciate ur thoughts. We had dinner at buffet city and I doubt we will be back again. Thankfully, I recovered. I was whinning what a 2014 to begin with but I shan't things for granted. Despite work and NS, they insisted on a dinner AND desserts which got me really puzzled. We walked from Tanjong Pagar to Chinatown but all shops were closed so they pulled all to SK Square hahaha My cousin agreed to send those (staying in bedok, punggol, amk) back because.....

 They wanted to surprise me with this slice of cheese cake. WAH I WAS REALLY TAKEN ABACK. I SWEAR. I'm so touched ok Jack. U are my best cousin. HAHAHA! It's not a whole cake that they can each enjoy one slice. They actually hid the cake from me after dinner. Honestly, u guys are not one of the sweetest friends I have but I am really touched by the gesture that night. It's funny how all of us met. I knew some of u guys for 10 years alr and I hope we can all see one another grow since the age range among us is so different! 

 3Jan

Spent it with twj. And we tried Muthu's curry at Suntec. I love the butter chicken, I love how they use spices instead of MSG, salt and whatnot.

 u see a sleepybear hahaha

 I spent my birthday morning giving tuition and I went to get him a slice of cake since his 10th bday fell on 6 Jan hahah! He remembered my bday which surprised me. He loves that gigantic pen haha! I almost gave up on him cause he was soooooo mischievious but thank god for the perseverance, I'm glad all works well now. His parents are really kind to me too! 

 Impromptu outing to Vivo. 

 Dinner @Marche missing Dad cause he's busy working 

 this is soooo good and I finally understand why almost every tables had it

 We ordered a lot of food and the total bill was nearly a $100 which wasn't unreasonable for 4A1C right. 

5Jan

Although belated, but I won't mind hahaha I held my 21st on 5jan2013 too! As long as I got my whole(not exactly) family with me, I'm blessed.

missing out gor n jie. 

I started preparing all the food at 2pm. I told mum that I wanted to cook when Dad wanted to do a buffet for me. Being able to cook for my family is not something I can do everyday so count my blessing. Too bad I couldn't get the Eldest cousinssss and family to join. I made enoki bacon, pan-fried garlic butter scallop, cha soba, miso soup, chawanmushi, teriyaki chicken, tempura prawn, calamari, garlic dou miao, garlic fried wings and popcorn chicken. Mum cooked a big pot of fried rice. The food seem so simple to prepare but I really underestimated them. 

 No matter what, I'm glad they enjoyed! 

 Gor had to 'spoil' the cake everytime w oreo tsk

 My sister obviously tiptoped

 papa wasn't wearing shirt so he said he shall hide behind hahahah 

 Thanks to my sis's bf hahaha! U all better stop getting me ridiculous charms ok hehehe 

My present from my sister will be revealed in June. *winks*

 Thank u twj's sis! She even got my birthdate engraved. So personalised I like! But I think it's quite exp! $40 in total.

My 'break' is coming to an end soon and I dread Spring sem. HAISH. 6 freaking modules, I shall conquer u bit by bit. Serious savings begins!!!!.... After CNY. haha I need to save for Vegas and now I'm working very hard for it. I am v tired at times but I know it gonna be worthed it. Thankfully for the MOE bursary, it's freaking $2.2k pls go n apply okay my friends. If u are luckier, pls apply for the $2.8k one. That's all the taxes ur family has been paying for life. Claim them back! Today my K2 boy was really cooperating and their mum treated me to her homemade pineapple tarts! Awww today is a good day and I managed to go Vegetarian till 6pm!
