March


























March is coming to an end. We went skiing in 1st March. Damn shiok. But I cut my face, (end of shiokness) and the skiing came to a halt. (Look, the muscular instructor beside me.) I've already removed my gears, the poles are for show. haha.


Given a chance, i'll do it again, have to wait till next fall then, don't even know if it will be cold enough before i go back Singapore in Dec.

Hao lian i got parcel from Mika and Ying. This time round, it got delivered to my house cos i was at home on Saturday. Damn glad I didn't miss the postman.
























REally Happy lor. Thanks Mika and ying, you pple never fail to cheer this emo-freak. Love love love! Will post the contents next time.








3 Roses from somebody. Prettiest thing i've ever seen. I really love them. *But i'm not with that somebody.
But still, i feel so loved. happy

my room

I heard mentions that I did not take pictures of my room, when I went back Singapore.
Here it is! My room revealed~









The cheapest furnitures from Ikea, mostly. The chair with my cardigan on it, is second hand.
Other than the bed frame, which I bot bcos my knees pain, the rest are cheap and nice!
Not cheaper than Spore Ikea though, its the same price (digits) in Sing and USD!
My 1 dollar shop reindeer (which had a hole in the neck as I discovered later on, but Ah Ma dearest Chin sewed it for me) and also the pink bear bot by Dexter during the Christmas exchange. In the middle if you can spot, is the cock-eye elmo i brought over from Singapore, given by the dearest Monster Weiling.



Simply adore the closet space.
I'm taking the master bed room this half a year, Ya will take over for the other half.
Till then, this is the room I've and will continue to spend countless hours in.

Baby and lacross game






















Went back small island spore for a week during CNY.














Wasn't feeling fantastic all the time having a little jet lag.



This little thing really amaze me. A four month old baby shrieking for attention or someone to talk to her as a group conversation was going on. Indeed a grown up from the 1 month old baby I saw before i left.
























Before I came back for CNY, we went to watch the Lacross Match. Exciting! Was a really close match for our Philly team Wings and Bandits (Buffalo, New York).




In the end, Philly Wings won!!
Make some noise!!!!!!!!
And bcos they have more than 10goals, we can use our tkt stubs to collect Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream that we (or I?) have wanted to try all these whiles.


















Happy with all our ice creamo.

Ya and I had mint choc ice creamo. It came with a chocolate cake, choc chips and cho fudge mixed and crushed with vanila ice cream. Talking about eating until sick. No 2nd helping for this.



Actually tks for Edwin (my sup) tog with wife (Grace) who brought us not only to this game, but also the previous Ice-hockey game. Really had fun!

To all, Happy CNY. love!

I recieved my parcel!

Last Friday I left work about 330 in order to beat the post office closing hour.


Had to take bus to the post office @ Allendale which is like some ulu place. Wonder y the parcels are usually directed there. And of cos dun wan to pai sey my peers to acc me cos' a bus journey is 1.45cents.


And when I saw the parcel handed over from the woman at the badly maintained post office, I was kinda taken aback. Thats a big parcel! I mean what could be inside? Smiled gratefully to the lady and took over the parcel and immediately read through the declaration of contents on the parcel. Thermal flask? Wat? (its a thing i've been searching for 3 months cos i can't find an apt one).


Waited outside in the freezing cold to take the bus to meet the rest at King of Prussia mall. When is the bus coming??? At less than 10degrees, I can't help but feel an overwhelming warmth coming forth from the parcel. Felt some tears blurring my sight. No, the tears did not roll down my face. (in case you think i'm some emo-freak).



Took pics of the parcel on the bus.






































Hai, looking freakingly tired.



















The pals...

Opened the parcel @ KOP mall ..

And took pics of wats in the parcel at home.

Explain to u wat these are next time..

Thanks darlings!! love you pple so so muchie
