This is gonna be a long blog in the first place because i decided to
write everything in one go instead of separately. So here it goes.
From last week...
10th June 2008: Celebration of the June Babies!
The usual bunch with one new comer: Thomas! Welcome Welcome!!
We went to Shokudo @ Raffles City. I was so excited as i have never
been there before. Food was pretty nice too. I like the Sashimi
Opps. The Only Pic I Have At Dinner!
Later in the evening we went off to a cafe in Esplanade and had fun
taking photos. Thomas had a big ass SLR with him and we took very
nice photos. Quote from Juan:" All we need is a good SLR, we wont
need Al**te!!" Haha. If you guys get what i mean you will get the joke..
Muahaha... I love that girl's sharp tongue!
Hahaha: Part 1
Hahaha: Part 2

15th June 2008: Daddy's & Daughter's Day
It so happens that Father's day is my bday too! So me and my Daddy
celebrated the special together. Its been a long time since i celebrated my
bday with my family. Only now we have an additional member in our family:
Sammy. Welcome Welcome!!
So in the morning we went to Shangri-la Singapore to have lunch at Shang
Palace. Very oriental restaurant but expensive too. You gotta pay for the
ambience dear..

In the afternoon we went over to our Grandma's house in Tampines.
Though it was a long journey but everyone was more than happy. Then
something happen that really make me remember this year's bday for life.
My Grandma presented me with a pure gold ring. She had a pair and gave
one to me. I was so touched i nearly cried. Somehow i had mixed feelings.
Part of me feel honoured, part of me sad, part of me denial. I dun know but
somehow it caused a heavy feeling in my heart. I think its guilt. My Grandma
used to dote on me the most when i was younger and being a child in a big family
it was very impt. But when we both got older, the times i visited her became lesser.
It was always abt being busy. But i guess its just an excuse. It makes me really
scared and frightened at the same time. Presenting me with a family heirdoom is
not a funny thing. It meant responsibility and somehow when old people do
these sort of things i doesnt feel nice. I think you get the drift. Haiz. Enough of
these emo shit.
So at night we went to the fishing village at Sim Ming where my uncle has a
store there selling bbq food like clams and stingray. So if you drop by there
say my name I'm sure he will give you a discount! The few of us downed 3
huge crabs and other stuff. We went home tired but happy and satisfied.
16th June 2008: JB Cum Celebration
I have been to JB for like a hundred times, but never once i went in to
just shop and eat. I used to just pump petrol then go out. I have always wanted to go in to shop like average Singaporeans. So its a wish come true when Gerald organized the trip. He is a good tour guide as he knows what to do and where to go and most importantly how to go abt doing it. So he is a good planner and generally a good travel partner. Hee.
I still cant believe he carried that 'bigger-than-Thomas' big ass SLR' all the way pass the custom and into malaysia, when i nearly died just by walking and the heat.
Early in the morning, ok maybe afternoon we went off to the checkpoint to begin our journey.
First stop: Restoran Bamboo: Herbal Chicken.

18th June 2008: Huan Yun's Treat.
Long time friend Huan Yun, being a very nice guy decided to gimme a treat for my bday. Haha. So he brought me to Yan Ge Lou @ Chinatown to eat Dim Sum then for our KTV. No pics, because none of us brought camera. Still it was a fun event for two old friends to meet up. Hee.
