National Day Gathering 2007

Well.. so i dint manage to wake up at 7am.. heez. worse still, i woke up thinking it is still the wee hours..like 7-8am, when it's already 10plus am. i am a certified pig....=p

Today's gathering was hectic to say the least. i guess being the hosts, it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll be in a frenzy. i got my first taste of herding a group of lil pesky cousin, nephews and nieces out to buy groceries and to keep them away from the adults for a while. okay with feng and hui bing's (mum of the sweet nieces) help. Else i mite just be tempted to dump the whole load of them in the nearest dumpster.

Learning point: Never bring a whole group of kids into a VCD shop cos they will just squabble and badger u to buy all the cartoon shows they want.

anyway here's some pics taken today cos im too tired to say more le. the quality's quite bad... grrr.. i hate being camera-less.


My niece, the 1plus year-old chen xin is the only child amongst the lot who is interested in the keyboard. With feng guiding her...


Too absorbed in the keyboard to wanna take pic...=p


starry-eyed... "watcha staring at?"


hehee..=p she's an angel la..=)


This was her at a few months old at last year's CNY. It remains one of my fave pics today.. so cute la.. the droopy cheeks. melty...


messy-haired le.. stylo?


chen xin's older sis, chen xi. she'll grow up to be a beauty one day..=)


wei quan.. my youngest cousin at 7 years old.. so patriotic=)


showing off his patriotic "made in singapore" and cute pic tatoos...

*****

that day, i was on my way to NUS to submit my placement report with feng and the 151 we boarded was...


like this!!!!!! okay, i'm acting like a country bumpkin here.. but can u believe the opulence? According to chris, it is an F&N sponsored SBS bus. wow. i dint know F&N is that farking rich la.

feng and i spent the rest of our journey cam-whoring on the bus...






feng on the ikea-like round chair i wanted to buy.

it's really quite shiok la.

and finally, say hello to my new fave, Turtly. or "xiao gugu", as nadeeyah likes to call the turtle at the centre. okay can u guys just help me come up with a better name for it?
