broke.. and stuffed

We are sooooo broke... dammit. hahahaahah.... me and xiang spent EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR in BOTH our wallets.. had to resort to using NETs to pay for some stuff in the end. hehe..here's why...

Gift-a-name was having some mega sale at causeway point... so... we bought a DIY table drawer and a DIY box. 2 days before I bought a DIY book holder and a pillow(for our now non-existent doggie) :( and we wanted to buy some more stuff on thurs night but because we didn't have enough cash with us and the counter only accept cash, we have to forgo some other cutsey pooh and disney stuff. Sigh.

On friday we refilled our wallets and went to clarke quay to buy the locket necklace that is really running out of stock. It was a fun night but a boom in our pockets cuz I can't stop but pop my head inside every shop we walk by.HEHE.. But i didn't buy much bao bao!! I only LOOKED :D I think the fancy pocket shop is cool.. they have swaroski crystals in packets that u can stick on anywhere, like on the handphone or even the toilet seat if you want. hahahahaha.. And i bought a lovely glittery blue heart-shaped necklace! the only bad thing is that the chain is soo freaking long. What did the shop think, rambos or the hulk coming to buy hello kitty necklaces?! Ah xiang had to think of some way to shorten it. I don't know what he did exactly, but he sure did a damn good solid job of shortening it cuz I had a blooody hard time trying to get the necklace out when i got home. Admist all the tugging and shrieking, the chain broke. HAHAHAHAAH... well, at least i can now use the plier and do some permanent shortening. hehehe.. And before we got to fancy pocket, we passed by waraku and the wax figures ( pretty round figures i must say) of the food made us stop in our tracks and go "ooooohhh..." and "aaahhhh...". The smell of curry and fried eggs and other yummy stuff was soo appealing to our noses and taste buds, we knew we HAD to eat there. So after shopping, we happily went in and spent some time looking throught the menu. Everything looked so good, we didn't know what to order for about 15 mins.hahahaha.. we had takoyaki balls, curry with beef and potato omelette rice and hamburg steak risotto in the end. The risotto was so yummy, xiang kept doing the cross-eye face each time he took a spoonful of it. And he looked like he was going to have an orgasm when he ate more of it. HAHA.. should have taken pics of him doing that..slurp..i love our dinner!! I feel like a stuffed cow when we walked out.. After dinner we went to the japanese supermart in the basement and bought 2 bottles of soda. Haha the story behind the soda that gets our little xiang so excited and bouncy is that there is this little ball the size of a marble inside the bottle. So, we need to punch the cap with this plastic thingy they provided, and the marble ball will sink and suspend somewhere near the mouth of the bottle. Then, when u tip the bottle backwards and drink, the soda will react chemically with the ball and tada! you get foam and fizzy white stuff. Hehehe.. xiang has been wanting to try this drink again after the last round I showed it to him ( which is many months back) and the 2nd time we came the shop was closed. So its our luck that we came early and the drink is there!!

We sat along the steps of the river and xiang was swaggering his bottle and holding it as though it was a beer bottle. hahaha.. when he asked me if he did a convincing pose of a drunk man, I said "er.... its soda, boy.." hahaha and he pouted and showed me that squidy look again. so cute :P We sat a while watching some crazy dodos play the extreme bungy thingy, and after looking at them forlornly for a while, xiang asked if we can try it. I was like O.O NO WAY!!! the look of it is enough to make me puke out the curry, rice, egg, beef, soda, and maybe even all of my organs out.Try THAT crazy psycho thingy.. hoho... im a chicken. cluck cluck.. But we walked over and gaped at the game-ho ang mohs try the extreme swing anyway. hahaha.. it looked kinda fun.. well.. maybe.. maybe i will try it someday. like, if I realise I failed my exams and want to find a quick, thrilling way to die. THEN i will try. heh heh.

I bought 2 bikinis for my bintan trip at clarke quay too!! they were having a sale, and xiang helped pick out 2 really bright ones. hehehe.. but he looked sad after I bought it, even though he told me I was literally beaming like the 300watt light bulbs at the store after I paid for the bikinis ( in cash again) and walked away in glee. Then he said he didn't like others looking at me in just that skimpy piece of cloth. I was so touched. :) hehe.. he's such a sweetie.. MUACKS!! And cuz the night was still young, the air was like being in the middle of the sahara desert and we were pretty tired of standing, we went to the bungy pub and ordered cocktails. Xiang ordered hurricane, and I had Illusion. Dunno what the heck they were but the names sounds nice so we ordered without even asking the waitress what it was. haha.. Well, the drinks look gorgeous when it arrived! his was red in colour, mine was green. And i was a bit puzzled when the drink turned out to be green, cuz i thought a name like illusion would be some bluish drink. and to that xiang said, 'well, thats why the drink is called illusion. U can think of it as blue..." -.- hahahah.. silly boy... After sipping and trying my cocktail , the hippo boat came down the river behind us and then xiang suddenly turned his head sharply. cuz he thought it was raining by the sound the boat made when it cruised upon the water. hahahahahah... the drink really lives up to its name boy...illusion... ho ho ho..



So, the drinks plus dinner plus necklaces must have cost a total of around 100. And guess what? We went shopping again today. hahahahah... Cuz I needed to go daiso and get some stuff, and since we were at vivocity, we ate at Marche. Lunch was yummy!! We had the swiss risotto with italian cheese hotdog, ribeye steak, mushroom soup as the main course and swiss roll stuffed with chocolate and apple pie for dessert. Another sinful meal.. Oh Glutton God save us..



We went ot the rooftop pool and played in it for a while.. and naughty xiang slammed his Big Foot into the pool when we were somewhere in the deepest part and splashed water all over half my skirt >.< and then he refused to let me dry it. hahaha.. and we saw this 3 elderly people doing balloon sculpting at a corner! the balloon scupltures were soooo NICE!!!! they could do amazing stuff like a princess with tiny details like the beads on her dress, her tiara and her long flowy blonde hair. There was also a brown labrador, some poodles and a robot. Xiang was pointing at the half-robot-being-made and as the lady added the finishing touches to the balloon, we were swooning ovr it cuz she managed to blow a balloon within a balloon to create the head! Come to think of it, I think it was an astronaut that she was making. a head within a head? doesn't make much sense lei... haha.. anyway, xiang the sweetie bought me an elmo balloon scuplture!!!! SEE!! ITS SO DAMN NICEEEE! :DDDD heheheh thanks bao bao! HUGS!



On the way back to the MRT xiang was super funny, cuz my eyes were popping out at all the signboards saying "SALES 20% OFF" and I kept dragging him into all the stores with sales that xiang had to pull me out by force.When we walked past one area that had lady assessories going at $5 only,I was soooooo desperate to get to it but xiang covered my eyes, LITERALLY with his huge hands and walked me off even before i can take a closer look. Buuuh.. saves me the heart ache i guess.. but.. but... 5 BUCKS ONLY!! Bleagh...

After all the good food that we have eating these 2 days, whats a better way to end it then with even MORE good food? lol.. xiang's papa brought us to eat crabs!!! and there were prawns too.. and since he dun eat the prawn heads which i adore, he shoved the heads to me, and 'copped; some from uncle liang and dumped them on my plate. I end up eating about 8 prawn heads.. My cholesterol level must be at the red zone man.. hehehe.. Xiang had a fun time learning how to get the flesh out from the crab's legs from his papa. Uncle liang is a pro at it, he SUCKS the flesh out. Hahaha so ah xiang said his dad must be a suction tube or something in his past life.hahahahahaha.... so bad.... after dinner we fixed up the DIY drawer. poor xiang's hands bled from trying to get the cardboard fitted in. And it was only after his fingers suffered that awful cut that we realise we folded the cardboard sides inwards when it should have been folded outwards. So all this while we were trying to force the darn thing in when it was clearly too fat to squeeze in. hahaha.. ah xiang was sooo sleepy after the box was fixed up that he lay on the bad and fell asleep within minutes. Lol.. So i stuffed his things inside the drawer and stitched up my pooh pooh while he snored gently behind me. heh heh heh..



what a dayyyyy... yawn.. I should be sleeping soon too..

wroooff! splash!!

buuuh.. im so tired.. but not sleepy yet. The joints at my legs feel twisted, cuz me an xiang went swimming today. Heh heh.. our maiden voyage into the water TOGETHER!!Ah xiang may be the leopard on land.. but im the flying fish in the water!!! Or so i think, dunno if flying fish is fast anot. HAHAHA...We stripped ( WHOO!!)to our swim suits, xiang in his cutsey little black trunks *giggles*from army days which he paraded in his room before we left, and we headed to the pool for a splashing good time~ Ah xiang seems to sink the more he swims and I don't know why.Then he tried abut 8-10 different renditions of the frog style, all of which he made it up himself in the attempt to swim faster.I wonder which one was the correct stroke... HAHA..Then we went to deepest part and competed to see who can stay underwater for the longest time. For some odd reason, I kept floating to the top while xiang sank to the bottom. So we tried to interlock our arms and.. well I still floated up and I brought xiang up with me too. If a lifeguard walked past, it'll probably look like 2 corpses drifting at the surface of the water. muahahaha...After our laps, we went to the baby pool to play, cuz they had a slide and waterfalls! Yes yes.. we are still kids at heart you know.. hehs. And we did something naughty under the waterfall.. :P We stood there close to each other.. and we held hands.. and...

We peed together into the pool.

Muahahahaha... I hope no kid tries to drink swimming pool water. Lots of nutrients, from the wrong source. hehehehe.. Xiang was so cute, he climbed the steps of the playground and me, staring in shock, told him to come down, cuz I dun think they will allow a 1.81m tall, 70kg 21-yr old MAN to play on its slide.True enough, the 2 lifeguards who have been staring at us( for quite some time i think, from the time we looked 'dead' in the adult pool till we enter the baby pool)signalled to xiang that the slide is not for adults. HAHAHA... damn funny..

We watched wolverine yesterday, and xiang was unhappy at the ticket pricing.Cuz the woman demanded 2 student passes for 2 tix, and we only had 1. So shitty right..His voice was raised and he looked so pissed that I actually got a bit frightened and taken aback. If he was the one dealing directly with that woman over the ticket counter I think she would have to suffer the wrath of his anger.. hahaha.. but it was a good show! Wolverine i mean, lols. We went to East Point mall to have fries (again) but ended up looking at puppies for quite a while. The puppies were so adorable! And xiang took out the stuffed duckie I gave him to play with the westland white terrier . Lol.. the dog yelped and tried to grab the duckie! Then we saw the pet groomers trimming the hair off a really, really FAT cat and a shih tzu. The cat looked so grumpy and pissed at being touched,it kept trying to squirm away and pull itself forward while the groomer was pulling its tail backwards to get it back on the table. HAHA.. When my bestie arrived we had KFC cheese fries ( her craving this time round) before we went to her house for dinner. I think I have an issue with fry eaters. -.- Xiang adores fries, and han have the occasional craving for that deep-fried, salted and cancer-packed mutilated potato strip. Ends up I had french fries 3 times that day. -.- save meeeee...

Coffee greeted us at the door when we arrived hehe.. Coffee is han's taiwanese shih tzu and she's absolutely CUTE!!!! She recognizes my smell after all these years I think.. but Xiang is foreign to her. So... we 2 girls witnessed a bit of bonding session between Ah xiang and coffee.. It was hilarious. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

See ah xiang saying "Hi!!!" with Coffeee!


Xiang tries to be friends with Coffee... but she seems to ignore him and look at me instead..


Xiang making coffee exercise her front paws.. "down 1! down 2!"


Xiang finally gets coffee's attention..


And she cuddles up with him.. awww...


Coffee at the coffee table looking at the chocolate cake Han bought to celebrate wena's birthday, mother's day and to serve as our dessert. How economical hanney.. Your 2 inch tall, 6 inch wide cake for 3 occasions...HAHAHAHA


Xiang sayang-ing and talking to coffee before we go home.. Sobss..


I want my own doggie too. :(

SPCA

wahha,recently our dearest gal daphne decided that it would be fun if we have a dog..
so guess what!! we went to SPCA today to see if we could pick up any for adoption -.-
its pretty obvious we didn't get to do it lol if not you'll see pictures of a dog on the blog. so this is what happened:
1. we're supposed to wake at 930 so that we can get to SPCA early =)
2. take train to tpy and bus 28 10 stops and walk to SPCA =)
3. Adopt a dog =)
4. Get home for me to do some marking =)
5. Go to popo house to eat dinner
And this is what happened:
1. Slept too late previous nite so we woke at 10+ LOL
2. Did take a train to tpy and bus 28 for 10 stops -> but too bad 10 stops didn't take us to SPCA LOL and after we walked quite a while we ended up lost and wanted to get a cab..somehow when we're trying to flag a cab while walking around we reached SPCA like 2-3 km away from where we alighted? LOL
3. Once we reached there i was like "oh gosh shld we get a guinea pig instead?" and ah ni was like "baobao, i wan a cat!! or kitten !! wee" and of cuz i gave her the NO TO CAT face hehe..so we ended up looking around the kernels and the cat cages too lol..they have this special corner for like 5-8 cats inside to play around de..i went in and wow actually cats are fun to play with, but still i think they are very strong spiritually -.- and one of them actually tried to bite me when i tot its playing with me zzz
so oh well we ended up only taking a look around SPCA and BOY! its my 1st time in SPCA i'm kinda surprised and not surprised at the same time lol
nevertheless its a fun place maybe u guys wanna go there and take a look sometime =)
4. ok marking i did do the marking with the help of miss NINI flipping the pages and calculating the final scores of the KIDS for me..their comprehension is incomprehensible -.- horrible OMG
anyway something random that i learnt from the kids
whats starts with F and ends with UCK => answer is FIRE TRUCK
LOL kinda lame rite,kids nowadays just likes to think about such stuff
5. and ah ni's aunty sarah and uncle kok wee + their kids joelle and joy didn't go to popo house today so we ended up settling dinner ourselves at my house =)
its fun cuz today we deep fried japanese chicken + fries + cook maggi mee..its shiok man deep frying stuff to eat,the taste is just OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG i wanna do it million times again hehehehhee => but i'll prolly get killed by daphne and her mum and her aunties LOL
well its quite a fun day cuz we ended it off by watching the xtremely confusin show LAKE HOUSE on channel 5 haha..so while i'm typing this blog entry,i'm on the phone with ah ni and amazingly we didn't speak for a long duration cuz when i asked her what's she's doing...guess what...she's blogging too,so i guess both our entries might be very similar =) ok thats all for today,lengthy one that i typed =D

wrooooff! wroooof!! meowww!

*SHIVERS* its pouring heavily now and i am trying to 'siam' the flashes of lightning flashing their stuuupid butt around. Just now there was this gigormous flash, no, BALL of light at the window and I screamed. Damn scary.-.- dammmit.. had to move to the living room becuz of the flashing lights (sounds kanye west-ish, heh)lest i wanna risk being electrocuted. Sobs.. So here I am, sitting all alone in the dark, dark house typing away. The house looks menacing, and it seems like tonight is not the first encounter with such spooky 'stuff'. When Xiang walked me to the bus stop earlier, we could smell the scent of jasmine,really strongly, as though there is someone who just sprayed a whole bottle of perfume on her and walking near us. Xiang looked spooked out and he ask if I could walk him back home when he is actually walking me to the bus stop home then. -.-

It's been a long day! We went to SPCA today to look at the doggies and the kitties cuz xiang and I have been thinking of adopting a puppy.I wanna to try a cat too but xiang says a big, fat NO to that cuz he doesn't like cats. When I asked him why, he gave some vague answer about being superstitious -.- welll... he could go into the cattery there and play with the cats, and even try to carry one partcularly stubborn cat relentlessly. Lol you should have seen how xiang tried to coax the feline creature into coming towards him. Xiang kept disturbing the cat and touching the poor cat everywhere until the cat gave a lovely imprint of its tooth on his hand. HAHA.. but its those kind of mild imprint, not really a bite else i think xiang would have flung it across the cattery. HAHAHAHA.. We saw a few lovely kittens too and my heart aches for them :( they are so adorable!!and beautiful!!! SIGH. Too bad I can't bring any of them home.. mummy will kill me. and the cat. :( the dogs there were so active and they kept barking, and when we went to the adoption gallery, me and xiang had our eyes set on piper, a cross breed mongrel. But she's not approved by HDB, like MOST of the dogs there so we could only stare at her and make coocie noises. BOO HOO~ :(( We spent the whole afternoon there and both of us were covered in fur. hahahaha.. cuz the cat which we played with apparently had a dandruff problem. Its losing its fur!!!! MUAHAHAHA there was so much tiny bronze hair stuck on our shirt and arms!

Ahh.. what a day.. what an exhasting day. Especially since I had lousy shitty memory and made us got off at the 10th bus stop when we should have gotten off at like the 15th bus stop. HAHAHAHA.. we walked from bartley road to upp serangoon road and then finally to mt veron. xiang could have killed me for making him walk under the heat at 2 in the afternoon. HAHAHAHA.. im such a klutz. And we still play catching at the overhead bridge somemore. ROFL..hehehehehehehehehheeee

But its all good exercise, since we ate so much junk food yesterday. Papa drove us and my granny, aunt and uncle to joo chiat for dinner :D Whoooo! The walk to the hawker centre was an eye-opener. Cuz there were pretty young vietnamese babes stationed every 3 metres+ waiting to pounce on young, innocent boys like my bao bao. muahahahaha...and i will pounce on them. literally. >.< Uncle yeou's eyes seem to be roaming all about.. heh heh.. and Nick was dammn funny, cuz after walking for quite some distance he turned around and made a sad face. then he say, " haiz.. im so insulted, none of them approach meeee..." HAHAHAAHAHA u are too young my dear brother.. and underage! and er, under-developed? HAHAHAHAHAHA..

Dinner waa superr yummy, but very unhealthy!!! we had frog's leg porridge, fried kway teow with a lot of cockles, Oyster omelette, fried chicken wings, satay and otar. And because our dear xiang doesn't eat much shellfish i ate up his share of cockles and a lot of oysters. I'll be damn glad if I dun get hepatitis B after this meal man. And chrolesterol. Urgh... And we went to Geylang after dinner ( another round of food.. puke..) LOl I wonder if we drove them for the fruits or the "melons" HEHEHEHEHEHE.. but ah well we end up with dao huey and you tiao. hehs.. and xiang and nick were engrossed in talking about army and weapons. -.- boys... The 3 of us went to an aquarium shop along the way back and at the front of this shop was this giant tank with an assortment of fishes inside. The funny thing is that the fishes inside look like the type u will find at a seafood restaurant. Some looked ready to go with some ginger,spring onions and soy sauce.YUM.I saw tutu's descendants.. :( tutu was my beloved luohan-minus-the-bump fish and he died at 4 years old. sigh.. feel nostalgic...

Bleagh i hope the rain stops soon. Okay, I think just the lightning stop can liao. So that I can go sleep.ZZZZZ..
