A lot of pple i know are going overseas. Makes me feel sad for various reasons
a) They are close to me
b) when's the fucking last time i went on a holiday? (besides Malaysia) Ans= 2 yrs back when we went to HK. when's the last time i went for a family holiday? answer = 6 yrs ago when iwas sec 4 when i went to NZ with my aunt my mom and my cousin Andy
So within 1 week
Ms Madeline Huang went to USA for 6 months
Andy -- Thailand for 1 week
Uncle Bob, Aunt angie claire and andy off to hk ( after andy comes back from thailand) for 1 week
Yiyu to taiwan for 1 week in jan
Boyan to Japan for 1 whole week (funny how everytime we want to meet, either 1 of us are not free. Best friends who haven't met up for 2 yrs + lol)
I'm SAD!!!!
went to see Warlords with Andy & his GF and Simon yesterday. Kind of a gory show. took cab to meet them there..and there began my little adventure
a) Cab driver didn't understand me. I said orchard ROAD! then he kept on saying huh? huh? (shld have listened to my gut feeling and gotten off) but oh the dummy i am..i stayed on
b) After abt 3mins of explaining and repeating orcahrd road (mind u i even say orchard road in CHINESE!!! correctly mind u) he *or so i thought* finally got it.
c) We were travelling correctly to orchard road....until he turned at the Botanical Gardens. *faintz* I told him Uncle ORCHARD ROAD!! WU JIE LU!!! gave me very very blank stare. In the end i said u know takashimaya? go there!!!
Uncle: " oh takashimaya..i know. I thought u wanted to go Nasi Road."
i was thinking like wtf...How in the world does Orchard Road becomes Nasi Road? Hell...the only thing similar in the 2 words is they both have the letter "A".
SO THANK YOU TAKASHIMAYA! If not i would have been in nasi road instead of enjoying the movies with my cousins.
He did cut off 30 cents off the fare.
For dinner we went to the super nice restaurent Shashlik at far east shopping centre ( near borders). Steak there was DELICIOUS! Total cost for 4 pple = $133.
Fucking hell..order 2 bowls of soup to split into 2 portions for 4 pple... they charged us $2 for that!! what type of cut throat price is that??? KNN!!!
After our very full dinner filled with very entertaining conversation, walked back to sommerset MRT stat. I must say.orchard road's xmas decorations this yr is very nice. IVAN GO TAKE XL THERE! VERY ROMANTIC. If it doesn't rain that is. even if it rains, as it did yesterday, it's still quite a beautiful sight. So much for my idea of taking meiting there this yr. haha.
a bit weird. my cousin and his gf holding hands then simon and i walking in front or behind of them so as not to intrude on them. I must admit i felt envious seeing them of course. Then again Andy's or i shld say his gf is lucky to have him.
after that went home. with me feeling happy but with the usual tinge of sadness after seeing so many couples in orchard road. Haiz...

Chocolates = drugs to kiddies?
This happened after my bro's wedding rehearsal. Tina & Family + my family went to sunset way to have Rocky's Pizza. Nice place to dine. anyway after that the kiddies had chocolate ice cream!! oh wait..luke had it..micky had strawberry.
so anywat after having his ice cream, luke was like so duped. He was jumping, running holding on to everyone like a drunken toddler. Then he said the magic words! : " Mommy, I love u"
so touching...but for 1 fact..he was saying it to my mom!!! and Tina (his mom) was like 2 metres away! After my mom pointed out that Tina was like 2 metres away, he ran to her and said those words.
But effect a bit spoilt alrdty. quite comical.
next incident: my bro's wedding: HE ATE 12 PIECES OF CHOCOLATE!!! Tina Nigel and Everyone else were thinking: " Oh boy...this is going to be 1 long long night". And it was. Super hyperactive sugar choco charged 3yr old ran and ran and ran and laugh for 4 hrs straight. from 8pm to midnight! He was HIGH!!! Even when everyoen was like dozing off he was still saying more more!!! *shivers*. I had a bit of hope when he said he wanted to rest, a bit tired. He sat down for 5 secs...then ran in zip zacs all around the hotel.
yesterday i was scolding him for trying to jump on a table. So i asked him: "Don't jump on the table!! Are u a little monkey?"
he gave me the cheeky smile and replied: yes! little monkey!" *faintz*
Anyway all of us cousins (uncles & aunties we all are) agree..Luke has the cute cheeky look which all of us love! So here's a picture of the Lim's Little Monkey Luke Lim!

amazingly enuff..it's been almost half a month since my last blog and HX didn't pester me to blog more!!! *miracles do happen i guess*
So let's' get down to what's been happening ya?
a) Brother's wedding FINALLY OVER!!!!
lots of work, didn't help that i was sick 1 week b4 the wedding with high fever and sore throat. Of course i recovered just in time...but ended up with a cough and phelgm (pretty bad too)
anyway b4 the wedding, my cousin Andy slept over because
a) he was the wedding driver (nice BMW leh!)
b) BMW had to have the wedding flowers tied onto it so he stayed over to ensure the flowers didn't get too damaged. (he lives at tenah merah) so a sleepover meant the flowers had to take from our house to the church wouldn't be too damaged.
c) I snored very LOUDLY because of my blocked nose/throat passage ways. my bro complaint to me.
BIG DAY! (BTW the photos are posted on my facebook account)
Everything almost went smoothly. luke the ring bearer didn;t run amok and actually delivered the rings correctly!! micheala the flower girl was simply adorable! of course i was that everytime i see the kiddies. But they were dressed in a tux (lukey!) and pretty little dress(micky)
Anyway after the lunch (it was GOOD!!!) andy and i were pretty zonked out by the time it was over (2pm). After time all of us headed home (reached home 2.20pm) rested for 20mins then headed straight to reagent.
at least we cousins had a spare room. (claire simon and yiyu would join us later on in the roomm after dinner). Andy and i were impressed with the security function in the hotel. Elevators to guest rooms require u to insert the key into the lift. very impressive. then again reagent is a 5 star hotel.
so basically andy and i rested in the room. and watched nba (celtics vs raptors = no competition at all).
our room was pretty big. 1 queen size bed, 1 two seater sofa and 1 spare bed, tv etc etc. comfortable beds i must say. but no internet connection :( unless ur insane enuff to pay $12/hr.
Night time:
andy yiyu claire simon and i = receptionist table = telling guests table nos and collecting their hongbaos!! $$ kaching! by that time we were like dead tired. (claire yiyu went shopping/ktv-ing) differnt sort of tiredness from andy and i, but still tired.
saw some of the old teachers (mr tan say pin, colin coy, mrs (mimi wong, fang, Bin, Loke, and a few others) saw also mr lau and mr lim tian seng but didn't get to say hi to them.
mr tan said i lost weight..(slight ego boost) but then again who wouldn't after being sick for the last 1 week and eating just porridge and marcoloni 3 times a day?
kk i'm getting tired of blogging now. so let's cut to the end
dinner was good. went to bed. Ms Claire Neo...is really such a pig sometimes...haha. she slept for 10.5 hrs!!! yiyu slept for 4hrs (since she went to St.James again! and only came back at like 5.45am...)
They complaint that i snored very loudly! Sorry lah! blocked nose and partly sore throat means trouble breathing = snoring! it's a medical fact!
It's Fun sleeping over with cousins! despite ms claire's laziness *ahem*
kk blog again next time.
