lunch was at the Hyatt Hotel, Straits Kitchen for its local food lunch buffet. High tea would not have been too popular with grandma. The food there was AWESOME.

after dinner, headed to Rochester after much searching of the road map. and these were PRE-CRAZY-PICS:

we were either discussing sticking raisins on our faces or putting chocolate on our teeth:
and they took 10+ pics of me and i did not move an inch, 'cept for the roving eyes:
hehe. any idea what this is?
...
it's my FIRST design&technology project piece:
pencil holder in the shape of a toilet bowl!
i was quite the funky/gross kid on the block back in those days.
i didn't speak much. but i had good friends who spoke a hell lot and we're still tight shit =)
dinner was at grandma's place.
it's great to be at grandma's every sunday init? make up for all the lost time when school and exams were endless. and of course got cable tv to watch, and no need to wash the dishes after dinner :D (well actually, i don't do it at home either hehe)
monday:
rain came during lunch. so i wore my starry wellingtons out for steamboat with boonie.

the lift down stopped at a certain floor. and a coffee delivery uncle came in asking if we wanted to get coffee powder from him.
and then he proceeded to ask me:
"ah girl u sing getai? where u sing ah?" (all in mandarin of course)

HELLO DUDE. DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING GETAI SINGER BECAUSE I WEAR WELLIES ON A RAINY DAY???
fuck off la.
but on 2nd thoughts...
i was talking to my cousin about how we should have been getai singers when we were younger; it seemed like good money if we ever got famous. plus i've heard of getai stage performers who would earn big bucks over the 7th lunar month, and not have to worry bout finances for the rest of the year. but of course, these were the people everyone loved and wants la.
oh wells.
tuesday:
1st day of school!
felt kinda light hearted, since i was in school for a couple of modules which 5 fingers were too much to count anw :D
nothing fab for school. just a dirty yellow top with vest and mini skirt. my wedges were killing me the entire day.
and did you know? alllllllll the tutorial rooms between S3 and S4 had ZERO electricity. i was already sweating and in pain and tired when i realised i couldn't use my laptop there. so i had to pack up and move over to S2 where they were more reasonable to actually TURN ON the AIR CON and electricity.
but the best part of the day came NOT in school =)
the 5th-year-gang (i shall call us that here for convenience sake haha. basically us 'hairpening' pple who made it to our 5th year in the stupid school) made our way to parkway parade for our usual round of HEAVENLY SASHIMIIIII.
seems like our taste has upgraded since the last time we went hehe
and then ice cream after sashimi. it's like the best-standard-routine-dinner ever.
hahaha
and jansen+shuhui bothered to get me a damn cute soft toy/cushion with an even more ATAS looking paper bag for it!
i'm sureeeeee gonna carry that paper bag around when i need to!
[[ the auntie has been msging me some very silly jokes this evening which totally cracked me up.
UNTIL she texted that moreeee relatives were coming along to taiwan.
the count now is 14 of my closest aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma and grandpa, and 1 auntie whom i am hoping with alll hope that i will have the strength+determination+courage not to snap and shout+scream at her. she's nice. but annoying. argh ]]
1st break i had in school was with bobulujilun. met the church pple too and i was like, erm erm erm omg pls let sth pop into my head so maybe i can be franly and start a conversation. but it ended up like 2 separate conversations at the table for a while and they left. maybe i still felt a bit awkward with that whole joseph thing la. haha.
2nd break was put aside for catching Juno. but sheesh, i got hooked on Chictopia and i can't believe i spent 1.5hrs just surfing around.
what does it mean when i get all flustered and excited when i see FAB clothes on FAB pple?
i dunno man. i'm already inspired to find stuff in the wardrobe to mix and match for days to come =)
HOLA to Siying my fellow chictopia voyeur!
