yesterday was my maternal grandma's 81st birthday, 20th of december. my aunties and uncles arranged a kinda of "party" at boon lay raja restaurant at jurong east central there, almost all my realtives were there, cousins, aunties, uncles, nephews, nieces... we used about 4 tables but some of them went home early. my uncle had ordered a 2kg, as my mother said, cake with many chinese characters on it 寿比南山 etc.etc. after having our dessert, pumpkin yam paste, they took out the cake and we sang a birthday song to my grandma after that my uncle said a string of congratulatory wishes to my grandma in teochew, it sounded like those kind of opera..? then my another uncle took up a glass cup and use his pen to hit it onto tthe glass to make those kind of "clink" sound during the intervals like during the opera some guy will clash their cymbals. it was pretty funny and most of us didn't understand what my uncle was saying about as he was speaking in very deep teochew...we just laughed at that sight... :)
that day when we were to report to our schools for registration, i went to NJC and met zi fong there, we went to the auditorium to listen to the Dean's speech etc. my mum did not buy the school books and uniform first cos i was still not sure which school i want to go to, kinda in dilemma, both schools equally good, but i pretty love their school uniform, grey in colour, light grey for the short and dark grey fo the bottom, design's not bad too :) after a very very long walk, some uphill, wetook a taxi to NUSHS to take a look at the school. my mum and i met up with shi li and her mum and we walked to the clementi shopping centre there and had lunch, after that we decided to go to Bugis for shopping! we took a MRT there together and my mum bought me a school bag, pencil box etc. was kinda happy that day......
my parents went to attend her colleague's wedding around Raffles there, heard from my mum that it is like a poolside buffet, now still must be having good food there... they yesterday eat good food, today also eat good food. =X
somehow, just somehow, i don't really understand the map posted at the class blog... maybe long time nvr go school already, mind and brain rusty...tak longer to process, haha, also long time nvr hold pen already... >.<
me and my mum were surprised when we went to NJC and saw the information booklet, written on it was " the first day of school is 12th January 2009..." it is true but... we have to end school 10 days later, so, no discount, sadly...

yeayeayea... this blog is soo... dead.
i was in malaysia for the past week so i didn't get a chance to touch the com, let alone post, but even if i got a chance to post, i doubt i will. hehe. nvm. i finally have something in my life to post, for once, in a long long time... ha. ok, but it's also pretty lame...yep today i went to jurong point with elaine to check out its new wing further, after extending it, it became very big, there were many new shops, most of them which are branded. i can say that the place was quite packed despite being a weekday. we saw Mrs Chua first then Miranda and then Mdm teng which were at very close intervals or you can say consecutively. Elaine also saw her other frens there. when we went to the arcade we saw a guy playing the basketball, he played very well as we had nothng to do we also see him play and he also amazed other people...he played many games and once, when he finished,he didn't take the tickets he earned, after asking him, he said he didn't want them so we took it and exchanged it for a small packet drink =.= well, better than nothing... :l at the end we did not share it, instead we gave it to a boy, the reason -- a long story. we didn't spend any money there but we had a pretty fun time, as in play... reason -- long story >< hehe. ok that's it. goodnight. :pppp
21 minutes to midnight. lol.
