lunch with becky monkey

ah, finally got the photos from becks. these were from last year! i think about.. ok i really can't remember when this was but it was close to the end of the year.

This is just a photo spam so.. if you don't like photos for some reason.. skip this !

Lunch was at Ajisen!


Hers was obviously the Volcano ramen one.. you see the big clump of chili they give!! mine was.. charsiew i think. i LOVE the ramen and the soup la!! super nice.



i'm rather impatient cos my food came first and had to wait awhile for hers.. then she still wanna take pictures of the food! gah. drooling already.


happy after meal =)





Dessert! FRIED MARS BALLS! These are damn good ok! can be bought from this little booth @ B2 of PS. Raffles City also got! Try asking for more icecream, you need it to balance out the super sweetness of the MARS balls =)


Ok, the real camwhore begins:




Ok at this point i was starting to get impatient.. the icecream melting already!! cannot let the ice cream melt one!! if not the MARS balls taste will get too 'gao' then not nice already. need the more bland and cold ice cream to blend.


cannot wait already must eat.

.



ok daniel called me at this point to ask about some movie thing at night, then becky went to snap a pic! so unglam ! i kept trying to make her delete it but she refused.


act sad.






see that stupidmonkey trying to snap another candid shot of me !!


i'm more alert now so she tries to attack from a different angle.






-lookinginrandomdirections-shot fails.


i dunno why i look so weird here i think i was saying something then she go snap already.



she ask me button my shirt. but too hot!



we try playing with perspective now.



she looks fat right!





ok this was the last shot at our seat..

then as we stood to leave she took my bowl of icecream to help me throw away.. so i kindly help her pick up her handbag to pass to her. then when she turned and saw me she just laugh and ask me take photo?!? wth?!

the stayover

This year's new year's eve/day was much better than last year!

Last year was spent at jurong island.. and I didn't even bother to countdown because I had duty the next day and needed to sleep. (nevertheless, we got activated at 1+AM still. -_- )

This year was so much better! Started off with watchnight service in church wih some sharing by some people. verlene was so cute lol talk about random stuff like 'we went to east coast park to cycle' which is totally irrelevant in a testimony? lol.

Anyway, after the countdown and message and some wastingtimedownstairsdoingnothing we finally started the stayover!

Played bridge, Taboo (my favourite game!) and this game called MAD GAB. totally enjoyed the taboo time man, i just love the random guesses that come from the game ESPECIALLY FROM JESSLYN. OMG SHE'S THE FUNNIEST.

I swear she's like a younger raylia when it comes to taboo (omg raylia... :( more about this later) in case you don't know what raylia is like, let me quote one of my older entries:

(the brown text is her, black is everyone else)
"Ok first word.. erm.. shine shine one."
'star? sun? diamond?'
"nonono! erm.. u use this to shine"
'oh ermerm. TORCH'
"Yes yes! ok next word... uh opposite of up"
'DOWN!'
"ok put together?"
'TORCHDOWN!'
"Ok yay yay correct! ok erm next word"
-stunned silence-
'What the hell is torchdown?'
-we all check the card-.
IT WAS "TOUCHDOWN"
-everybody falls to the floor and laugh-

rofl. and jesslyn provided another very similar situation today:
(pink font is jesslyn)

TEH! times up!
wait wait let me finish this card first!
okok
deeep sleeeeep!
what?
it's a kind of deeeeep sleep!
???
.
.
--This actually went on for at least another minute or so with her insisting that we guess it and not give up.--
.
.
like won't wake up one!
oh! coma!!
yes yes!
-then she throws down the card... guess what the word ACTUALLY was... -
..


..


...

.
It was "COMMA"

LOLOLOLOLOL omg seriously we were all rofl and laughing our eyes out!! (LOEO? i should make a new internet term. LOEO!)

there was also another funny moment which originated from me! ha. The word was 'briefs'. and because giddy was the closest person to me i just blurted "giddy wears this under his pants!" and everyone managed to get it in seconds, despite ROFL at my description.

THEN. i think jesslyn was after me, so she started doing her cards... and i don't know why so coincidental but one of her words was 'boxers'. Then she went " oh oh! giddy also wears this under his pants!!"
LOEO!!
Then everyone was like 'omg giddy how many things you wear under your pants!" hahahahaha.

I don't know if this is as funny as it sounds, but it was really freaking hilarious at that point of time.. i laugh until cannot breathe and was tearing. hahaha.

Then cheryl was lingering around then for the next few people who trying to give the clues she randomly throws in a 'giddy also wears this under his pants!' which was still hilarious for a while. haha.

man, must always get jesslyn to play taboo, super entertaining ha.

so, 2010. it's time to make some new year resolutions! ah, so refreshing to be finally out of army. the past 2 years i was suffering under the bondage of the army (is under the correct preposition?) and every moment felt like a waste of time.

So this year is a new year! a good year! finally going to start uni.. and it's my 21st year! that means all my peers will be turning 21 too! hope i get invited to alot of parties! haha. i wonder if teehao will inv me. bet he forget who i am le. rawrr. john said he'll inv.. becky said will inv.. quick more more. ooh pewi also invited me. yay.
on a similar note... i don't remember birthdays! i used to save them in my old phone in my calendar, but since that phone spoilt i've given up trying to remember birthdays. cos i'm bad at it! ugh.

As for my own.. i don't know what i want to do!

who wanna help me organise my 21st birthday party? lol.

~~~

ok, resolutions in next post, i don't know when i'll do it.. soon maybe?

Snakes.. and the last post of the year

An article in Straits Times today reports an increased sighting in snakes in urban areas, such as in houses and on the streets. An example was given of a Ms Marino who found a snake in her house and called the police, who then told her to call the pest control agency, who charged her $500 to remove the snake.

Excerpts from that article:
"Police... will respond to cases of wild animals found in public areas if there is imminent danger to the public. But if the snake appears in a private compound, the police will respond only when there is an "immediate danger to life". otherwise, home owners are advised to call pest control companies.
Pest control companies... prices vary - charges of $300-$600 are common. Rates differ on the situation, such as the size, species and aggression of the snake, and the amount of manpower and effort needed to catch it. "

(and example was given of a snake hiding behind a cupboard which had only a small gap, where the snake catchers had to wait 4-5 hours for a carpenter to come in order to remove the snake. The bill was $800)


Hmmm....

On the phone-

Ms Oniram: "Help police! There's a huge snake in my house! Help help!"

Police: Please calm down madam. Firstly, what type of snake is it?

Ms Oniram: "I don't know! A huge one! It's like.. 5m long? With spots on it.. and it has a fan like head. Help!"

Police: Hmm that would sound like a cobra. Sounds pretty dangerous. But we only respond if there is immediate danger to life. Is the snake attacking you madam?

Ms Oniram: "No it's lying behind my sofa and making loud hissing noises!"

Police: Oh no, then I'm sorry madam, we cannot help you. Since the snake is lying there, there is no immediate danger to your life. We only respond if the snake is already up in an aggressive stance and making violent snaps at you. Of course, it would be better if the snake has bitten you, so that with the venomous poison running through your body, it's more life threatening and we'll have more incentive to come.

Ms Oniram: What?? Then what do I do!

Police: I would suggest you call the pest agency madam, they will handle the snake for you. Of course, if immediate danger to your life occurs like if the snakes wraps itself around you and starts squeezing you, feel free to call us again and we'll re-evaluate the situation. Have a niceeeeeeee day madam!

--
Ms Oniram: Exterminators Pest Agency? Help! There's a snake in my room!

Pest Agency: We will be right over madam!

15 minutes later..

Mr Tan (from pest agency) : Where is the snake, madam?

Ms Oniram: Over there! It slithered over behind the cupboard!

Mr Tan: Before I do anything, you must know that our basic charge is $300, and our fee varies with the situation.

Ms Oniram: Ok ok!! Just get the snake out of the house!

Mr Tan: May I know the size and species of the snake?

Ms Oniram: It is a cobra i think! About 5m long!

Mr Tan: Ooh ok, cobras cost 100 extra, and with our formula for length of snake, a 5m long snake would cost you an extra $31.40. Has the snake made any aggressive gestures to you?

Ms Oniram: When it saw me it hissed loudly and flickered its tongue?

Mr Tan: Oh that is only level 2 aggression. Hence only another $25 extra. How heavy is that cupboard madam?

Ms Oniram: ?? What's the relevance? Erm, i dont know, about 30kg?

Mr Tan: Hmmm.. ok that will be another $63 more. This is because our prices vary according to the amount of effort required to catch the snake. And 30kg is pretty heavy for me to lift, I'm only 63kg. Hence I'll charge you that $63.

Ms Oniram: Ok ok! But i was just wondering, how are you going to carry that 5m long python away? It must be pretty heavy?

Mr Tan: That's right... I'll call my colleague to come help me. That will be another $150 madam, because our prices vary according to the manpower required too.
