hehe been taking a long break from blogging. i guess the convenience of surfing blogs and chuckling at the muses of my kakis is proving too tempting for me to resist, hence the loooooooooong vacation from my usual vitriolic verbal diarrhoea. heh. my mouth (and brain) have taken a backseat and are happily munching on loperamide like M&Ms :) anyway. let's see what happened since i last came here...

1. jerlyn's birthday chalet. where: changi fountain view chalet. when: 25-28/5/06. what: 3 crazy gals crashing an unsuspecting 5 yr old girl's 5th birthday party :) haha no la. we went with invitations duly offered and accepted. it was just that we merrily disappeared at the crucial BBQ-fire-starting-and-food-preparing phase and went XIA-PING-ing at Tampines mall :D forgive me my shopaholicism, for i repent of the obscene amounts of money splurged on bags, useless accessories and... i forgot what else. hehe. anyway we adjourned our shopping spree to return to the melee at the chalet grounds (approximately 10 sweaty people crowding around the teenyweeny BBQ pit and trying to CPR it into producing a decent flame - not to mention a certain potbellied "hunk-wannabe" who excitedly pranced the length of the courtyard wielding a pair of hot tongs without a shred of clothing on his back, much to our merriment) and set up the Localised Entertainment Centre, aka the JIALAK-LAH, SO DAMNED LOUD sound system :) my 2 mates bawled jay chou ballads lustily at the top of their lungs whilst my relatives hastily crowded outside for some fresh air (and reprieve from the din) with their plates piled high with curry chicken, beehoon, chicken rice, BBQ meats and fish, vegetables and other really tasty knick-knack finger food delights. my mum commented that those 2 singapore idol wannabes sounded drunk BEFORE they even drank anything alcoholic :) oh, and talk of drunk! miss TLEH is officially declared as the Most Easily Inebriated Female haha :D it was hilarious. she ate too much, took a glass of sparkling juice, and collapsed on the bed pale and gasping whilst me and kn the 2 merlot addicts regarded her with bemusement over the tops of our wineglasses :) i mean, it was 2 perfectly sober people with 3 glasses of 13% alcohol each to their account versus one very KO-ed gal with just one glass of sparkling juice. gosh. oh, and for the record. hard liquor tastes like fresh acetone. it's overpowering! :P this girl is definitely sticking to cocktails and dessert wines :D

and we just acquainted ourselves with the term "a la ka" menu. hahaha. imagine 2 angmohs coming into the restaurant, asking for the advertised "a la ka" menu dishes, a la carte style :P

oh, and brisk walking at 5am in the morning, with absolutely zero clue as to where we're walking to, and singing jay chou's ballads screechily, is an ABSOLUTE blessing. thank you kn ahnteh... i'd never have realised the sunrise was so beautiful until you introduced me to the miraculously bracing morning air.
