Another of my cousin has gotten married!
Looks like my Dad's side are all wedded...
Probably have to wait for Mum's side... which will take quite some time...
with Cousin Ray being the eldest and only 22... Not forgetting the fact that he's always surrounded by girls, definitely need more time to settle him down =/

No more weddings to look forward to now :(
Hmmm... Maybe Gladys's? =D Hee...

It's a vegetarian dinner so wasn't sure wad food to expect...
Just know it's gonna be an overdose of carbo intake!
=(

Dinner didn't commence till 8+ 9... which was kindna torturous cuz we had Dylan with us!
He was so fidgety and was quite a task to settle him down!

The hungry us couldn't resist the chocolates...
Even Dylan...


Yum!
*shows good thumb*


Dearest Sis...

The petals...

Family of 3!

Spot the little boy!
See how he ran around! So active, this boy!

Carb overdose...

The bride and bridegroom...
I didn't even know my cousin had a christian name till I saw his wedding invitation card!
The couple was Joseph + Josephine....
I bet their children will be named along the lines of... Joey, Joe or maybe even Jose!
=/
I was telling Ah Ju the other time...
Maybe I shd christianise my name to Darius-phine... hahahah
And maybe Jian Rong can be called Julian or something! Wahahhahaha

I wanna Yam Seng with my milk bottle...

For every time they yam seng, I will drink once!

And surprise!
Little Dylan got Yan Yu!


Little Dylan with his new GF...
For your info, Little D already has one (who lives just adjacent to his house and he will glady show her to you thru his balcony window)


They hugged each other...
Ahhh.... How sweet...
Lol!


The end of dinner with sis and baby niece!
Love going to wedding dinners!
It's always so joyous and blissful...
Just love watching those montages....
=)

Wished Nauti boy was there with me though... Poor boy, still stuck in camp right now...
Uncle and auntie kept reminding me to bring him along and even reserved a seat for him despite me saying he will be stuck in camp...
Think everyone hoped there might be a small tiny chance that he could book out earlier...
=(
Seems the army disappointed us! Uncle even teased me bout not attending our wedding next time... Haha!

You know how when u attend weddings, you got the urge to get hitched too?
(To Ah Ling: maybe except u lah, cuz u got the urge 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hrs a day!)

Hmm... Our wedding...
Seems still a long way to go...
We got to gambate, earn more money first!
$_$
And I hope by then, we wouldn't have to worry too much about settling the dinner costs, honeymoon expenses, house installments, car loans etc...
The key words are"too much" cuz it's inevitable to worry for money since it's never enough...
Constantly thinking of ways to accumulate wealth in order to settle everydays expenses is a tiresome affair...
Just like now.... =(

So nauti boy, jia you k!?
Our Carribean or Keppel Bay 都靠你了!
=D

Fun at work!

What else can I wish for when I have such lovely colleagues at work?!
Well, maybe a higher pay...
But... That's beside the point...
I should just be glad peeps @ work are a fun bunch!
=)

Finally stepped back into night shift after a long while...
Enjoyed an aching session of Ping Pong...
Not much of aching from the exercise but from the laughing...

Because we didn't have the racket, Jason came up with his very own invention...
He took cardboards and stuck it on plates...
And it works!
I must say Jason is good in art...
Cuz he can cut nice nice round round circles free-handedly!!
Talented!


The ball and the plate

The very echo-y ping pong room!
Everything' s new!
Nice!

Look at Xiao Kang!
She looks like one of those national players!
wahahaha

It was real fun...
Ah Kang and I played and we ended up doing squash, badminton and even ping-pong from one table to another... Lol!
Had to hand over to ah Ling cuz I had to print Tamil news!
=(
But it beats not being able to play at all!
=)

Another highlight was our (Ah ling and I) plan for a little Mid-Autumn Fest Party in the office!
We informed the other APs bout the plan and we had....

Roasted duck and Soy Sauce chicken!
Courtesy of Suat Yen! =)

Angela bought us some vege from the canteen too...
Ah ling brought orange walnut mooncakes from Emicakes, candles and lighter...
I brought a redberry cheese mooncake and lanterns to play!!

My Rice
To Ah Ping: I eat rice ok!?



Ah Kang struggling to finish.
Haha!

Photo session after food!


APs @ work!
AP Tuan Yuan

We managed to get Poh Suan, Suat Yen to join us downstairs!

Stuggling with my new HP camera...
Didnt manage to take nice nice pics...
We look kindna scary... Lol...

Thankfully, Lynda joined us with her camera so we managed to take clearer pics!

=)
Fun~

The mid-autumn night scene @ MC...

Playing with traditional lanterns...
I love the colours...

Cui Cui joined us too!
Suat Yen happily offered to give cui cui her lantern cuz she insists that she's too old for it and ppl will laugh...
Haha, but ah ling and I made her carry it for a while...


Happy people with their lanterns


We became lantern heads...

The few of us walked around MC in the middle of the night, inviting weird stares from the security guards and those knocking off from work... Lol!

Had to stop to "refuel"
The rest are so worried I would burn my hair... Lol!
Ya, maybe I shd have tied them up! haha

Halfway thru our walk...

We realised there are quite a few hazards around MC...
Like that huge hanging sign near the radio building...
Ah Ling and I visualised us getting executed by the sign...
Then, we will become lantern heads, coming back every mid-autumn festival...
Wahahhaa...
Crazy ppl...

Lynda and Cui cui had to go back (prepare U9 and eat dinner respectively) so ah ling and I continued our walk with 2 lanterns each!

MC is kindna eerie at night but we still enjoyed walking around...
Some ppl actually shouted "Happy Lantern Festival" to us! Haha!

Nope, we didnt burn out lanterns but wax got onto our pants... =(
I was still laughing at Ling when she got "waxed"... Then i felt something hot on my thighs...
I got 2 wax stains la!!!
*sob..*
I got Bao Ying...
Lynda told me to go look for "Pian fang" online...

So... If you do not already know...
To remove wax on clothes...
You can make use of a brown paper bag (plain) and an iron!
Follow this...

Shall try!

Day 2 (Late night party with colleagues)

Lynda was the first to arrive (since most came after work)!

Talked to her while packing the catered food...

Then, Cdians (sorry for making u guys wait so long!) called for a gathering upstairs so I had to leave Lynda alone, thank goodness, Mum went over to entertain her... Lol!

Felt so bad...

Then poor Nel came after being 'put aeroplane' by Ismail...

Then Gladys and her bf...

And then, the late Ismail...

So meantime, they went outside for their usual Hun Ki break...
All these while the peeps who finished work came in their cars and taxis...
I hope they managed to claim their taxi fares =P

Upon arriving, I received an extremely adrenaline-rushing news from Poh Suan!
I nearly cried out "Wiipee" when Nel passed me the gift!

=D

So everyone gathered upstairs with the gifts...


The crowded room...

First, I opened up a gift from my 2 Chinese SDs, Lynda and Cui Cui!


Ta Da!!

A big big bag!
I love big bags, enough to fill all my nonsense! =D

Yeah!
Still waiting for a day to "Kai Zhang" my bag!

Then, everyone told me to open the box...
Woo... Exciting!

It's a Wii leh!!


The great ppl behind the Wii!


Ah Ping was made to officially present me the present...

As I happily unveiled my wii... =D


Yeah! Yeah! Nice little white box and lots of games!


It's their "Zhi Ye Bing"

My dearest colleagues stretched out their hands holding on to water bottles and me, the Wii remote... Trying to grab a interview...

Haha...

Our poor chinese reporter, Kaixin, got pushed to the front...

Lol... The rest were so loud she had to cover her ears... Lol!

After thanking them and when the commotion has died down, those that wanted to "play cards" stayed upstairs while the hungry peeps headed down to the BBQ pit!

Time for food!


Ah Jen and Ah Ping ran to the swings like they were in some period drama... lol


Then, Ah ping went on the horsie...
I tot this shot looks funny... Ah Ping looks like a small kid!


Getting all dirty with charcoals...


Chef Mong at work with her helpers and Jen the "Tie Shan Gong Zu" checking if the food's ready...


Food and company!

Peeps from my orientation group (Blood Shed & Tears) trying to relive the pose @ the TV Theatre...


A shot with Mong just before she leaves!


We all managed to hide behind him!

Some went of earlier so I joined the rest upstairs only to be greeted with this sight...

behold...


*gasp*
Ok... There were more blue colour pieces...

I can hear their heart thumping away... Or is that mine?

I should have collected some commission...
But winning 10bucks wasn't too bad =P


Went to bathe (@ 4-5am) and didn't managed to send them to the door!
So sorry!
*feels bad again*

But I'm really glad most of them came!
Had lots of fun!
Thanks for coming, finishing up most of the food, the presents and making my 21st a memorable!

=D
