Other than the fact that the tree was out more than a month in advance… I also got presents from Daddy…not Christmas presents to be exact, but two gifts he bought on his trip to San Diego were really sweet and made Christmas feel a little closer to heart :) The story was like [...]

Covent Garden and Soho.
Posted in Celebrate, Food, Mosey Around on December 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This was at Covent Garden, where there was this guy singing and performing at the basement courtyard, improvising with real people sitting there and pulling them into the performance. This was in front of Covent Garden where there were plenty of shops. The ubiquitous but still charming phone boxes. Another ubiquity – Pubs. I wouldn’t [...]
Christmas Day in London

This is the cool ‘wishing well’ where you call a number and say your wish and see it appear in this little enclosure after a few minutes. They couldn’t spell Gerard but well…aside from that minor glitch this was possibly the best gift I could think of, on Christmas Day when he is miles and [...]
Merry Xmas! – from London, Christmas Eve

This was St. Paul’s Cathedral…we queued up but didn’t manage to get in unfortunately.. I was so enthralled by this authentic looking parisian-braserrie thing until hongking said ‘oh it’s a chain…’ Should have suspected something fishy with the brightly lit sign =( This is how good their chains are..they are look deceptively authentic. Well, it [...]
Happy Birthday continues!

Blissfully happy on the eve of my birthday…thinking all there was, was just a harmless cozy dinner with my housemates and extended ‘family’. “Oh no you don’t, Buddy!” – says the evil Saurabh… While Fiona and MingEn are KTV-ing singing Jay Chou songs…(I can see this story is well on its way to becoming an [...]
CNY and Lo-Hei!

CNY again! Here’s Uncle Jacky claiming he’s Charlie in Charlie’s Angels…sorta. Don’t let the calm before the Lo-Hei fool you… Everyone’s fighting for a good spot… While fellow photographer and I take aim to catch the action… “Eh, this year be civilized okay…don’t make a mess ah…” Oh here it comes…!!! “Don’t care lah…Huat ah!!!” [...]

A super delayed post. It’s quite impossible to upload and crop photos for blogging on weekdays simply because I am usually too exhausted to do so, if not thanks to long hours in school, then probably the sickening S.L.O.W. trip home at rush hour. NUROP Congress If anyone catches me in lecture next Friday, please [...]
3F new year lunch…

A gathering specially organized for THE MAN, Eric. (and the rest of us of course) We wanted a tell-all, an answer to our burning questions and a demystification of the crazy things we’ve heard. After a few rounds of moseying around, we still got nowhere close to the scoop. Hmm…we’ll let you off this time! [...]

I got married…and divorced in one day. =p Bx our wedding planner did this impressive thing. Mock ‘champagne’ (actually sparkling juice), two-tiered improvised ‘wedding cake’ and a mock wedding invitation which was really our birthday card. Appreciate everyone for the effort…and bx for the thought. You’re the coolest party planner ever! In case you’re still [...]
special mission @ 2330h

before I get to the special mission…let’s do things chronologically…and start it right with my dinner with the GALS (mocking wei’s acquired pseudo-californian accent) at The Prime Society. Think I really needed the “Inauguration Kit” since I had been out of touch with meat for so long… Girls photowhore all the time, especially so when [...]

The Blue Lobster Restaurant Went to changi after that and saw… =x Wei, geok, lye and myself were in charge of the deco for JT’s party. We thought the doodling idea was great for her “Colours [...]
The finer side…

In light of my rah-rah mood recently, let’s try to claw out the happier things that have been going on. 1) CNY Ang pows in recession this year! Economy’s doing well but everyone’s becoming stingier. Oh singaporeans, what difference does it make? But any cash is good cash. Good thing I didn’t deliberately go chinese [...]
Let’s get to the presents…

Christmas is a day when the only meaningful activity is opening presents…and oh, family bonding as well… (: So can someone tell me why were we wasting time on a lousy movie??? It was “Snakes On a Plane”. It’s horrendous. DON’T watch it. But everyone seemed captivated by the show…probably by how crude and sick [...]
