after much awaitment, the BIG day has finally come..
yuppiez, our FUNSHOP is gonna to be carried out TODAY!!! yeah! ^_^v
woke up super early dis morning,6.30am, (at least i tink itz super early for me la, since i haven been waking up @ dis timing for ages? keke), reason being i need to go over to one of the student centres to fetch the kids who are supposed to be attending our funshop to Nanyng Primary School, the place where we'll be carrying out all our activities for the day..
i reached the centre with much anticipation coz as i was nearing the place, i could already hear the kids' voices.. guess they're equally excited like i am.. lolz =p
picked them up from their centre, did a little self intro to the kids n we're all set to go...
finally, we left the place n head for NY Pri, on the bus endless kids' chatter filled the bus, happy as they were, their teacher i/c even got them to sing some songs for us.. i'm amazed at how many different languages the kids can sing in... eng, chi, canto, even hokkien... i muz say they sing reali well, almost top grade quality.. as i was drowned in d midst of their enchanting voices, we soon reached NY Pri.. the kids from dis particular centre (which i shall nt mention itz name due to case of sensitivity) are reali very well behaved, thou' they might get a little too noisy @ times, but once their teacher open his eyes wide n stare @ them, all of them turned silent immediately.. dat teacher reali POWER siah!! i wana "bai shi xue xi" from him oredi.. haha!
basically, d whole day was filled with lotsa fun n excitement n if i were to pen down every single detail, itz gonna be super lengthy, so i shall juz pen down some more significant happenings..
initially i thot i wld hv a bit of problem trying to blend all the children from the 2 different centres together since they were rather shy @ d beginning.. but once they start playing the games that we hv planned out for them, they automatically merge together as a wholesome.. so der's nt much for me to worry abt.. n the happy thing is dat they are obedient n reali listen to me.. we had fun together n they're all juz like my xiao di n xiao meis...it was reali v pleasing to d ear to hear dem addressing me "jie" the feeling is simply wonderful!
they're reali very nice kids, juz dat prob they dun hv very gd supervision n some family prob stuffz but still i can see v gd future in them... they hv d making of a potential leader for d future, gif dem more attention, care n love, i'm sure they'll shine. =)
i made my own little gifts for them, thou we actually prepared presents as a grp for them oredi, but i thot i shld gif dem sth of my own, hoping that they'll feel special n different from the rest... indeed, my objective was acheived, all 4 of them were grinning from ear to ear when i hand them their little gift packs... thou itz nth fanciful, but still i can c dat they like those little treats alot.. i feel so good upon seeing their reaction.. heez =D
besides having various station games for them, we also hv a crafts workshop planned for them, gonna teach dem chinese bamboo painting n making lollipop flower. the kids were fascinated when they know they're gonna make a lollipop flower coz i tink d idea sounds new to them, so they were all v excited.. when d demonstration start, the kids were all bz trying to create their own lollipop flower.. the kids did a GREAT job, considering dat itz their 1st attempt.. then one of my boy came forward n asked me: "jie, can u gimme 1 more lollipop? i wana make another lollipop flower for my mother, she's coming out from the pri*** soon" upon hearing dat, i was caught for words, i feel so touched by my boy's actions. i almost cried.. he's a sensible boy.. i'm proud of him!!!
i myself also enjoyed making the lollipop flower since itz my 1st time doing it also.. it was fun n i did one for my baby too.. thou it might nt be in d best condition, but it comes from d heart... =)
well well, all good things r bound to come to an end... time flew past us n itz d end of our event le..
time for prize presentation... n guess wad!! my team won the BEST TEAMWORK award. Their nv-give-up attitude is commendable. i'm so proud of my kids!! they reali did a very good job.. well done children!!!
d time for us to bid farewell is unfortuantely here.. watched all the children get back into their respective centre groups, board their chartered bus n as each kid went up onto the bus, they kept waving good-byes at us.. we too waved back while trying to keep d smile on our faces, but frankly speaking, i felt quite sad to c dem leave, suddenly i hope our event was a 3days 2nite kinda camp, so dat i can spend more time wif these lovely kids.. but too bad... all is over in a day. =(
although we only spend so little time with each other, the bond between us is still there.. i'm glad to see the happy looks on the kids' faces after this eventful day.. i knew we have acheived our aim... we have brought in joy, fun n laughter into their lives..!!
3 cheers for 4sighters!!! hip hip hooray!!! (^_^)

met kangling, my primary sch fren for ktv @ cck kbox today.. we went for d k-lunch since kangling got sth on in d evening.. it was sth to look forward to after so so sooooooo long.. we had plans to hit d mics much earlier but due to our examz, d plans hv to be delayed... finally today our wish has cum true.. heez.. =p
it was a gd time spent but wif a few hiccups in d way..
firstly, d waiter got our lunch order wrong.. we actually ordered d cheapest food, seafood fried rice, coz we din wana eat too full as we planned to hv pizza ltr on after our ktv session.. but d waiter sent us d wrong order.. instead of giving us our order, he gave us d mixed fried set, which is like d most ex dish for d lunch menu.. went to tell him dat dat was nt wad we ordered.. he replied saying dat he keyed in d wrong dish, asked us if we can juz tk d mixed fried set.. wanting to minimise trouble, we relented.. thinking dat since itz still food so shld b quite ok la..
d food on d whole was barely ok.. d rice is cold n hard, d gyoza was nt crispy, d tempura chicken n prawn r cold n "lou feng" oredi n der's dis fried potato thingy which i'm nt even sure wad exactly it is after eating it..basically judging from d fotos below, u shld know how's d rating for d food oredi.. =p
we sang to our hearts' content... despite @ times der were some out-of-pitch n flat tones.. we're nt professionals so who cares abt wad head-voice n chest-voice... we juz wanted to hv fun.. heez =p
den d waiter came knocking our door @ ard 1pm, asking us if we wanted to extend our time for another hr as our time slot will end @ 2pm, on condition dat we order another drink... we were ok wif d idea since we still hv like a v long list of songs waiting for us...so we said ok n gave him our orders for d drinks... thinking dat we still hv like a gd 2 hrs to sing, we began to find more songs to add on to d list.. den when d nxt moment d waiter came in, he handed us d bill which was like ard 1.30pm, i was thinking to myself y they need to send in d bill so early when our time ends @ 3pm.. but i nv voice out anyth, thinking dat dis might b d way things work.. so upon getting d receipt back from d guy.. i double-checked wif him if our time ends @ 3pm n guess wad he told me...
" no ah... ur time ends at 2, i asked u all juz nw if wan extend den u say dun wan ma.."
wtf! i was caught for words.. i'm v sure dat we told him dat we wanted to extend n we even placed our orders for d drinks lor... is he deaf or wad siah...cant even get simple things correctly... ears blocked ah... time to go dig ur ears liao la, lousy waiter! we were both so pissed off lor.. come to tink of it i should hv noted down his name n complain siah... lousy svc rendered.. somemore still wana count 10% svc charge.. kbox is juz lousy... nt onli dis branch.. in fact branches evywhere.. hahz!
so we ended up singing onli partial of each song so dat we can finish up our list... so v "bu shuang" lor.. haiz... so to cover up dis unhappiness, we decided to tk fotos... hehe.. had fun trying to aim properly n tk... look @ our masterpieces below ba.. keke..
it was a nice day spent thou some hiccups on d way but still i'm glad dat i met my pri sch fren kangling again after so long... "ger, meet up again soon ya!!" =D
some fotoz we took:
d "yummy-looking" mixed fried set
judging from d leftovers, i'm sure u know how d food taste like
me & kangling_1
me & kangling_2
us again...cHeeRz to our 14yRz of friendship!!

my heart was reali painful when i saw him suffering from d endless blots of sneezing.. i feel so useless.. der i was sitting beside him, all i could do was to stare @ him..but nothin' much more to lessen his agony.. i could c dat he reali feels v terrible.. i feel so helpless, so lost... =(
i didnt wanted him to c my worried look but i guess evyth was simply written across my face when tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks.. yes indeed, i was n am still worried abt him coz he's my everything, i cant afford to lose him so i dun wan anyth to happen to him..
perhaps u might be thinking y m i so exaggerating..itz juz some flu onli, i'm like saying itz life n death.. but trust me, d more u treasure a person, d more u're afraid of losing d person..at least dat's wad i'm feelin nw.. n onli true love allows u to feel in such a way.. how do i know? coz i've met my true love n dat's my baby Elvin..
[*dear, pls rmb to tk ur medicine until u fully recover ok n no more late late nights for u! i'm serious ok..i dun wan to c u feel so terrible again..]
i know dat my sudden outburst of tears today affected my baby quite abit..he's reconsidering his plans to get a s4.. thou' his mum told me to stop him from riding, but i will respect his decision..i dun wana stop him n control him from doing d things dat he like.. he ought to hv his fair share of choice n freedom too...all i ask for is for him to be careful while he's riding.. itz juz as simple as dat.. =) dat's nt too much to ask for rite..?

seeing dat i'm home, so my mum decided to go ntuc to shop for some groceries.. n we decided to go to an outlet somewhere near since we anticipate dat we are gonna get lotsa stuffz.. hence, we went to bt panjang plaza..
upon reaching der, we knew we made a wrong choice... y?
coz today happened to be 5566's autograph session!!!!! dinna expected it at all man... :/
it was reali ppl mountain ppl sea der... 1st time in my 8yrs of staying in bt panjang dat i c so many ppl @ BP plaza.. haha.. amongst d crowd i spotted many xiao mei meis, aunties, n even old grannies.. it was kinda a farnie sight to c dem scream @ d top of their voices to get d DJ to play 5566's songs... it somehow look like a "mini-riot" to me.. =p
kids nowadays r definitely v crazy over these pop idols.. n they're reali v rich oso lor... since today's sutograph session is a promo gimmick for their concert, onli d concert poster wld b autographed, meaning dat u'll hv to purchase d tix first... n mind u they're nt cheap lor.. perhaps to sum it up, kids nw knows how to enjoy life... haha.. or rather, parents r oso pampering their kids too much as i see many parents who actually brought their kids who r as young as 4 yrs old to d autograph session, making me tink who is reali d fan of 5566... lolz
while i was viewing the crowd on d 3rd level, it made me realise wad a clown i've been when i went to other autograph sessions myself.. if i can stand der n laugh at other ppl who're queuing up, i'm sure there r ppl out der who're laughin their hearts at me who's oso equally silly to queue for a mere signature..
i realise it reali time for me to grow up... itz no longer a priviledge for me to follow d trend of teens by "chasing" pop idols, especially nw dat my fav boy band ENERGY has disbanded...
i guess itz time for me to re-treat to become a background supporter of these talented ppl n leave all the "chasing" to younger kids...
i've gotta admit, i'm getting old... no longer suitable for such stuffz...i'm retiring...
here're some of d crazy scenes dat i captured:

coz itz gonna be a day spent wif my baby..
woke up @ 8am, gave baby a morning call, went to prepare to meet him @ amk,
reached amk at ard 10.30am..
we decided to tk bus 13 frm amk to ECP, thou d bus journey's gonna b like 1hr+ but still we went ahead wif it since we wld nt get bored or wad-so-ever when we hv each other by our side.. =)
on d way, we kept looking out for d stop dat we're supposed to alight.. according to d street directory, we're supposed to alight at d stop opp some indonesian sch along siglap road... we strained our eyes, hoping to spot it but lo n behold.. we dinna c dat sch n we kinda lost our way n der we r.. reaching upper east coast rd the bus terminal.. which is a super ulu terminal wif onli 3 bus svc.. haha.. =p
finally, we took back bus 13 n after gathering some courage, we decided to ask d driver for directions, tking into notice dat d driver was oredi laughing at us, but who cares.. haha..
we finally reached our destination at ard 12+
after a quick lunch, we went to rent our bicycles... for a one shot 3 hrs' rental..
started our cycling trip at ard 1.20pm... it was really v v shiokz... been such a long time since i last cycled... n dis time round itz especially enjoyable coz i'm cycling wif my darling elvin... heez..
a little accident happened along d way as a bicycle in d opposite direction came crashing into me, i tried to swerve away but d oncoming bicycle's speed was reali fast, in d end both our bicycles "lang-ga" but i got away unhurt.. juz some minor abrasions..
i knw i got my dearie worried for me, but baby, rest assure, i'm ok ya.. =)
thou we ended up wif aching butts at d end of 3 hrs, but all was worthwhile..
den we headed to parkway parade for dinner after dat.... we decided to hv healthy food for a change since itz our "healthy lifestyle" week dis wk...hence we headed to d food court to hv " yong tau foo"
after a hearty dinner, we both headed back hm...after a tiring but yet fun n fulfilling day... =D
