totallybaosters!: I Love My Mighty Body.

before i start everything, Happy New Year everyone. :) 2008 wasn't a glorious one but i guess i'll let things past.

ahh, geez, that Singapore trip.

Day 1, 25/12/08
everyone was awake by 7am and we took off at about 8am. had breakfast and then left for Singapore at about 9.30am. journey didn't feel long at all, we reached at about...3.30pm? i think so but to enter the country took an hour itself. got lost a little on the way to 8th uncle/Uncle Pink's place because the map was wrong. haha. we ended up going further up to Changi Airport and at that time, Auntie Eileen came into rescue. Auntie Eileen is mum's very very very old buddy since high school and she called to check on us. we told her we're lost and we're near Changi Airport. she led us to her place instead because we're like 5 minutes from her place. :D our first stop, Auntie Eileen's place! she kept persuading us to stay at her place but we refused because there's a lot of us. haha, not that her place couldn't fit us all, it was definitely enough, but it wouldn't be nice to kacau people for 4 days mah. Auntie Eileen's awesome though, the last time we saw her was 3-4 years ago? omg, and she thought my name was CLAUDIA. i thought i heard wrongly when she called me and then she asked to re-confirm my name. haha. how funny could that be. bao= claudia. lmao. back to the story, didn't do much, just catching up and Auntie Eileen's son, Nigel, is still as talkative as ever. he's probably the best human navigator i've known. dinner was with 12th uncle and his family. we slept rather early that night. :)

Day 2, 26/12/08
woke up at about 10.30am, wash up, played some piano and played with my aunt's baby. omg, babies grow like sprout overnight. we haven't seen baby Jia Yi for like half a year and she grew SOOOOOOOOOOOO much. adorable as hell, haha, omg, she's like the spotlight everyday at home. everyone loves her like how everyone loves McDonald. all 4 of us are like pedophiles.

doesn't like smiling much, but she's definitely one very smart baby who likes talking but none of us had any idea what she said. 16 months baby knows how to feed herself. :)

er jie with baby.

ta jie with baby.

shen, me and baby. :D

jia yi feeding herself. :D she didn't even want to be fed by the maid. haha.

haha, okay too much of playing with baby. all of us had lunch at home and waited for 12th aunt to bring us shopping. vivo was the pick since there's more shops over there. didn't do much shopping though because we only had 3 hours before dinner with Auntie Eileen. i think we spent around an hour ish in Zara and an hour ish in Topshop (too many things to see what). got myself 2 tops for $30 each and 2 leggings for less than $20 each.

had dinner at Waraku Restaurant. unexplainable bliss. haha, great japanese food always shut me up. was also talking to Nigel about dslrs. contemplating between Nikon and Canon. he's a Nikon fan though. lol. went home at about 10.40pm.

Day 3, 27/12/08
got all dressed up in the morning. ta jie and er jie woke up earlier since they need to help some other people involved in the marriage to make up. we did, Jia Ying, Jia Xuan, Jia Ying's grandma, aunt, 8th aunt's, make up. wow and that was pretty rushing. maybe that's how models feel when they run backstage to get their attires changed. kinda felt like that really. the wedding was definitely planned pretty properly. they've probably got high budget too. was obvious to tell they spent quite a lot on it. well, after all wedding's a once a lifetime thing. people want it to be memorable if they can afford it.

fresh flowers instead of gaudy purple laces some people used. haha, and i thought i was the only person who thought of using fresh flowers at the car decos. it's definitely the best idea for wedding cars but also definitely more expensive. really good looking, no?

the back of it.

was a church wedding, so there was a lot of singing. heh, the baby gave way too! she's a lifesize babydoll.

that's Jia Xuan and Jia Yi.

Jia Ying.

and omholycow, that's probably the nicest wedding veil i'd ever seen. the dress was pretty crazy as well.

"you may now kiss the bride"

after that was the lunch buffet and they sure do spend a bomb on it too. i mean seriously, who serves soft shell crabs and crayfish for lunch buffet!? but that was also the time i got sick, by the time i finished my lunch, i told er jie i wasn't feeling very well already. so she accompanied me to the toilet to see if i could vomit my food out because that's going to make me feel better. i did force my food out eventually and i did felt better. we were supposed to go shopping after that but mum said we'll go home first if my body cannot take it. so we went home for a short rest, took a shower and slept for a bit and THAT was the time i felt REALLY sick, i couldn't eat properly. i vomit my food every now and then, along with slight diarrhoea from time to time. my siblings did go shopping after that though, my parents stayed home just so they can take care of me. Jia Ying brought the 3 of them to Orchard for shopping. tempted to go but really couldn't make it. haha. what a loser i am.

this is how Orchard looked like this year. was a bit disappointed i couldn't go. :(

i had to even visit the DOCTOR there. i think i slept early that night. stupid suffering night.

Day 4, 28/12/08
the day of the luncheon and i didn't attend because i wasn't fit enough.

watched a couple of dvds, ate porridge and used the laptop.

while they were....

having fun dressing up and ate good lunch. HOW SAD CAN THIS BEEE!!!!!! i was there initially for the wedding and i had to stay home in the end because i got sick!? all sounded like a joke because i was so excited about in the beginning, wtf.
