Missing him

him: you don't miss me
me: i do
him: I don't see my photo
me: that's for family
him: you don't miss me
me: i do
him: I don't see my photo
me: u get one post dedicated to you
him: okies

that was our conversation last night. It went something like that.
So this is for u




though we only hanged out for 2 months before i had to leave for perth, you gave me enough memories to make me miss you
how much do i miss u? let me count..

i miss that time when we were playing game of life (spongebob squarepants edition) with lil shuqi & shuyi despite the long day we had. They quickly took a liking to you, how can they not? you could make them laugh, cheer shuyi (when she almost cried cause she was losing) and even gave up the chance of being a business owner for a cleaner just because they asked u too. We were drained after the game but nevertheless happy

I miss the weekends where we would meet for a yummy dinner and head back to my place. We usually over-stuffed ourselves to the max and i'll start complaining that if this carries on, i'll get fat. I'll go on telling you about my plans to work out and such, but you never really pay attention, cause deep down both of us know that I'll never get down to it.

I miss those times when we in my room and my brother suddenly barged in on us, and we ended up hanging out with him.
and the fact that you are able to get along with him well.

I miss watching spongebob with you. Remember the time when we were watching on my laptop in my dinning room? My mum chose that same moment to be bored and she started talking to me, about everything she can think of cause no one else was at home. We had to pause and resume countless times. You were so amused by the scenario.

I miss that few days when you and daron stayed over my place. Together with my bro, we played board games (which i always won), watched soccer, and played super nintendo on my laptop. The 4 of us will make our way to my granny house the next day, half dead, for lunch.

i miss you cause you watched soccer with me (which you rarely do) and understand me when i'm going on and on about bon jovi and actually enjoy listening to them with me while traveling on the bus.

I miss you cause you genuinely enjoy my family's company and assuring me over and over again that there must be a balance in spending time alone together and together with others.

I miss you cause you have the knack for being able to cheer me up and put a smile on my face even when chelsea lost a big game or when i'm having pms or just when things are not going my way.

This are just some of them, I can't possibly list out every single one of them else blogger will email me saying that i'm taking way too much of their server space. so there you go.. :)

Me and myself

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach. "Repeat 5 times"

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach.

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach

I swear that I will never drink again on an empty stomach

"You miss out the '.' for the last four sentence."

.....

Can you believe how hard on myself I actually am at times.

And this post didn't involve ctrl + c nor ctrl + v. I typed every single character out by myself.

evolution from the good o' chalkboard. 

that's technology 

to the people back home

A big hello to my dearest family back in Singapore

I was out the entire day + I didnt have any credit left, I know it's a poor excuse, but thats why I failed to call back home.

But that doesn't mean I don't miss you guys.. in fact, everyone of you are constantly in my mind (Just like how I'm always full from eating). I miss you guys so much that here's a post dedicated specially for you with photos too! Photos that I look fondly at when I'm feeling homesick.

In no particular order..


Dad.. I especially miss the late night suppers you bring home. Mixed it with fighting over the tv remote +slews of vulgarities when talking about pool = 1 entertaining and sinful night snack which always made me resolve to hit the gym the following morning.



Mum.. I miss your nagging (I"M JUST KIDDING). okies, rephrase - I miss hearing you nagging at others besides me and angel(esp when its directed to bro). Stop nagging at him now. wait till i'm back so that I can smirk at bro behind your back



Granny (okies someone has to translate this to her): ah ma, i miss ur cooking and going to ur place on sundays to slack. Even the water u boiled taste a hundred times better than the water here. And miss your constant trips to the kitchen to stuff us all with the never ending supply of goodies.



Aunt Alice - I miss going overseas, popping by your counter randomly, going out on your off days and your coffee and tea



Nick - bro, when you're awake and in the right mood, i miss crapping around with you and your jokes on u know who. When you're not in the mood and i'm feeling shitty, I miss picking on you just for the fun of it (being the elder has its advantages at times) and boss you around - though u nv allow yourself to tolerate that.. damn



Daron- miss meeting u at 800+ for fried oyster n hokkien mee, miss u bunking over my place to watch epl and game. miss the feeling of rolling my eyes and shaking my head wondering how can u and nick create such a commotion just by playing winning 11 over in the next room - so much that i actually started considering going shopping with you again



Fag- missed the darn cookout, not you. hah. (cause you are missing almost half the time, so i hardly get to see you whether i'm in sg or perth- nick & daron dont u agree?)



Da Jie - I miss using that extremely sweet voice calling your name at times and seeing your worried reaction thinking what I want from you this time. And of course, missing the whole wedding preparation and process, including the teasing, together with nick, fag n daron.. which I never got enough during chinese new year. Also miss being amused by you after your shopping trip, taking out an item at a time, explaining and getting so excited over your purchases at granny's place



Aunt Juanita - I miss observing you when you are stuffing your mouth with goodies offered by ah ma, and claiming that you cant reject her goodwill. And also your contagious laughter. And fighting over the sacred blanket and limited sofa space.



Angel -though she definitely won't be reading this, I miss everything about my stupid greedy dog. Throw her a biscuit or 2 for me, wont u bro? make it 5-6 or till she poop haha =\

Ciao Italia

Open only for a few hours a day, this place is famous for its Italian food and the queue it attracts.
We waited 1.5 hours just to get into the place.


yeah it's a big group that night.. crammed into a small restaurant

While queuing outside...







and it was raining that day. Weather was cold.. Luckily i had years of air-con training back in SG such that i'm pretty resistance to it.



but no, i cant stand waiting for my food! starving







my lasagna


which is so thick and filling that i barely finish half of it.



The dessert was the best




The tiramisu is the best i ever had. comparable to the one I had in italy. It's that good. I'm craving for it now!


This is like pure hard chocolate shell on the outside, cream puff with chocolate filling in the inside. sinful...too sweet for me



And just a week earlier, I was there with Basil to settle my pasta craving, after a few failed attempts at some inferior eateries. He promised that this will be the best..

We arrived at 5+, so we didn't have to wait




always packed


that's me! making a call back home


mum, i found a place that does better garlic bread than u.


the reason for living... the portions are huge


and of course, tiramisu to complete the meal

we were there for almost 2hours +
we had garlic bread, 1 carbonara, 1 pizza, 1 big serving of soup, 2 tiramisu and 2 bottles of wine (thanks bazz for brining the wine!)

Thinking back, i really wondered how we manage to stuff everything in.

And we missed the bus- twice, ended up taking a cab home.
okie so everyone is complaining bout the rise in cab fare back home.
over here, the cab meter increase by 10 cents every 2.5 secs. I counted

So everyone back at home now don't have to worry.. i'm well fed.

Onyx

Last friday we decided to check out this place call Onyx.

Headed down in Amelia's car after dinner. We got there pretty early at around 10? the place was practically empty, with a few early birds like us for pre drinks.

The place

the bar


a fountain in the middle

2 hours later:










The cast for the night:


amelia, mei si, me & basil



here are some of the drinks, guess we can be proud to say that everyone was still sober at the end of the night.. good control!










and random photos

kinda like the reddish effect


something's wrong with her



So we had a little game..


mei si and the 2 guys which names we didn't catch


picked him out of the crowed for amelia.. she seems happy with it heh.. he's french and hot!


with mei si and the rest of his buddies.. which i wasn't in..

i changed my mind. definitely this one. looks and moves!
