Selin's(my ex-HSBC colleague) birthday is not until next Monday... but she decided to take leave on her birthday and stay home town celebrate with her family so we, being kiasu.. haha.. plan celebrate her birthday earlier... cos she have her frens n new colleagues too, so we expect that they will also celebrate her birthday with her next week... so we threw her a so-called surprise birthday, brought her for dinner, she say she feel like eating steamboat, so steamboat it is... we went to this place, Golden Steamboat somewhere behind Giant near Swatow Lane. Although she said everytime she go n eat, she will go home with stomach ache the next day, she still insist wanna eat steamboat... haha.. so i fetch her and we meet up there with Bobo n Melynda... there, although our table have only the 4 of us, but it sounds like there's 10 ppl there.. cos we are loud people(just like us, girls...hehe) and when we started laughing, everyone stared at us... haha.. tat's y we chose to sit outside cos if we sit inside, we will surely sound louder.. hahaha...

Poor Guy with a Wierd Name

I was on my way to dinner last nite, and we were listening to the radio in the car. There was this segment where they were talking about the wierdest names one could name their child. So the 2 DJ's were talking to this poor guy who was one of the victims of this "wierd name" cases. Well, 20 odd years ago, his mom innocently named him Benjamin. Unluckily for Benjamin, cos he was born into a family who's family name was Dover. So his full name was Benjamin (some middle name) Dover. I can't remember what his middle name was. Anyway, as time grew by, ppl got sick of calling him Benjamin, so they shortened the name, as many would, to Ben. So what was left of this guy's name?? BEN DOVER!!!!! How wierd sounding is that?!!!??! Ben Dover, as what "Bend Over" would sound. So this poor guy was left with all the teasing and name calling of all sorts..poor thing. He even tried changing his name at the age of 14, but he didnt succeed at that. He's still stuck with that name till today.

Look Alike


My friend had loaned me a concert dvd to watch over the weekend. However, i only managed to watch it just now. So anyway, it was Celine Dion in concert. I'm sure u all know Celine Dion, and if u dont, here's a hint: She sang the theme song for Titanic. Back to the point i wanna make. Through out the whole dvd, one face kept popping into my head. Who's face? It was Nalini's face!!! U all remember Nalini right?? I wonder who first came up with this comparison of her and Celine Dion. Hhmm...

It Broke!!


"Oh My God!! It broke!! Oh My God!! It broke into PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!"



Who remembers this phrase?? Anyone who was in the Jacky Cheung dance performance should know. Hehe just typing it makes me laugh hysterically..

Meteor Shower


I love meteor showers. This particular shower i'm talking about took place somewhere end of 1999, on one of the last few nites of the school term. We had all gone to Hu Nee's house, well i should say the kindergarten. We had used the kids tables as beds outside her house, so that we could sleep on them n not strain our necks looking into the sky. We started "camping" pretty early, but an hour or so passed, and not the slightest sign of a meteor was anywhere to be seen. One by one we started dozing off, n then it happened..a meteor was seen in the sky..and another n another..I'm sure we all got excited spotting them in the sky. Hehe..a few funny things happened this time. Most prominent of all, this happened to May. May, thanx for being the funny girl that u are :) Thanks u to, that was a nite i will remember always! Our dearest May walked into the glass sliding door! I think she wanted to go to the toilet or something. And it was probably really dark in the nite, or she was just plain sleepy. But there was such a loud "bang" when her head hit the door, it startled all of us. The only other thing i remember from that nite was that we had all woken up late the next morning, n we were Q-ing up for our turns to use the bathroom. At school, i remember sleeping ON the lab tables in our classroom.

Flashback!!


Hhmm...this silence is deafening. Therefore, since i'm so bored out of my mind, i'm gonna crap. Well its not literally crap..its B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L flashbacks. Ok..i'm just gonna do it randomly, in no chronological order.


This goes back to one fine day somewhere back in 1999. It was just the few of us who got up extra early on this day. If i recall correctly, it was Wen, May, En n me and we had spent the nite at May's house.

Pre-Event:
Ok, so there we were with our "supplies". What were they? Hmm..i cant remember everything..what i remember were rice, chicken, some sort of vege (can't remember what vege, but i think we had vege), pineapple (???) and other basic ingredients needed for cooking such as garlic, onions, oil, salt, pepper, etc. What i can DEFINITELY remember was what soon became our biggest attraction of the day!! HUGE GIANT PRAWNS!! (courtesy of May). Hehe..yes yes, we went for a cooking competition, organised by Dato Bijaya Scouts. So in the morning we loaded May's car with all these things n her moms pots n pans! So off her mom drove us to the competition. On the way, we made an all important pitt stop at some indian sundry shop at Pekan Lama. We were meant to buy something else, but we ended up buying some jar of pickles.

At the event:
The rules of the competition was that we set up our own fire..using wood n 2 miserable match sticks!! TWO!! Well 2 didnt work for us, so if i'm not wrong someone came n help us build the fire. Once that was goin, we started our cooking..i remember we had pineapple fried rice, ayam masak merah, n tom yam soup. Oh n we used the jar of pickles in one of the dishes..when the judges came n asked us what it was, May slumber-ly gave them some answer. I believe secretly inside we were holding back laughter n grins.

Post event:
From the competition, we then straight away headed to the campfire event. So we lugged almost everything with us, except for May's mom's pots n pans, which mind u were now as black as ever! Oopsie..Anyways, at the campfire, we were having fun n all with the rest of the guides who came..At one point in the nite, we got tired n hungry, n that was when we sat at the back of our seating area n scooped into the huge pot of tom yam!

Well, that's all i can remember. If there's anything that u remember, add on!!
