BBQ + Bdae celebration.

Finally had a bbq after so long! This bbq took nearly a month to organise. We are such busy people! :)! hehe!

We also took the advantage to celebrate a little gal's bdae on that day. This little gal is the dotter of a colleague. An adorable little princess. Knowing she loves yellow, we decide to decorate the place up a bit. We had yellow balloons tied with yellow ribbons and yellow table clothes! We even had two fellas dressed in yellow in honour of her! Such a yellow event!

The main highlight of the BBQ was still the pork belly. Should really try to add in pork belly as one of the bbq items next time. The fats bbqed to a nice crisp like roast meat you order from the duck/chicken rice stall. Absolutely heavenly. Yummz!!

Of cos we had the normal items like chicken wings, pork chop, pork ribs, portobello mushrooms, hot dogs, prawns, chinese cocktails sausages, crabsticks, corn and mashmallows. All prepared by BC himself! So impressive!! His chicken wings and pork chop were hot stuffs too!! Unfortunately, no beef this time round! :(! But the pork belly totally compensated for it! hehe!!

Easter weekend...

Happy Easter to all!

Finally we get to sing happy easter songs! The past few weeks has been solemn cause it was Lent Period.

It has been a self indulgence enjoyable weekend so far!!

Loads of shopping... buying... eating and fun!!

Horrible day at work it was on thursday. Glad that I had class at the end of the day to forget the shitty nite. Ended the nite relaxingly by watchin dvd and playing PSP! Had hot and crispy french fries too! Sometimes you jus crave for Macs even though its like everywhere and you can have it like anytime.

Friday was started off with church. The church was crazily packed! I got chased out during communion. haha! that was because I was one of the many parisherners blocking the aisles. Bo bianz. No space to stand. But it was a good feeling to see so many in church.

The rest of the day was shopping and to JB we went for dinner! yes! went back for the yummy stingray!! i got myself a cheap new top! BC got himself an even cheaper berms! steal!

Ydae was another shopping and eating session. We got a little extra cash from some place to buy ourselves more things! Hehe! I think we are too spendthrift!! Had dinner at vivocity with little natalie!!

N my uncle is treating dinner to nite! *faint*
Putting on weight... :(

N today...Dad just got me a set of drivers from cash convertors!! haha! I was complaining that I have no drivers so he told me he will go cash convertors and have a look! and weee!! There it was! a decent set! he said I was lucky!! haha! Pretty and light!! like it!

I wish monday never comes.... *Dread*

Japanese Snack

BC showed me an interesting thing yesterday! A colleagues of his went to Japan for holiday and got this for everyone.

IMG_6969
Looks like a cute plastic wrapped japanese doll, doesnt it?! So pretty! But it is not! It is actually a snack! How kewl is that?!

IMG_6972
This is how the snack looks like when unwrapped! It is actually 2 type of crackers wrapped into one. The round one is some peanut thingy and the long one is some "ke ro pok" like thingy. So the round one acts like the head of the doll and the long one, the body.

IMG_6974
The wrapper! Jap pple are really creative and puts great pride into packaging. dun you think?

It was a pity that the snack wasnt really that yummy. Heard that it was pretty exp too.

My absolutely sweet birthday pressie!

Received an absolutely sweet pressie on Thursday from BC's colleague, cynthia! It is a tissue packet holder!! Whats so special about a tissue packet holder? Well... its because its a cross-stitched hand made tissue packet holder!!

Honestly, throughout my 25 years of life, i doubt I have ever completed any cross-stitch of any type. Perhaps only that small christmas tree round wooded frame when I was still in primary sch. I never had that patience. Morever, I am a real untidy person. Its either my stiching looks really messy or the cloth is already dirtied by me before I am even haf way through it. I am such a useless lazy bum! haha!

Was really surprised when she handed me the gift. When she mentioned she had a pressie for me, I thot it was just a normal pressie. But when I saw the cross-stiched tissue packet holder, I was like "wow". A gift that required loads of time, effort and patience. She mentioned that she has been sewing everyday since 1 month back and that she was unable to hand it to me before my birthday because she was too caught up with work during that time. So touched!! Haha!

So sweet of her to do such a sweet thing for me when I only got to know her recently.
Thank you so much Onion Head 2!
Appreciate the gift loads!
Now I must learn how to take good care of it and not dirtee it. O no! Wat a hard task for some1 like me!

IMG_6936
O so adorable, dun you think?

IMG_6937
The back! Or perhaps the front? *confused* its the place where you get the tissue from! Haha!
