Jam Packed Weekend


Random squawk: I love Jeff Corwin.


Spent a well worth jam-packed weekend and both Lazy and I loved it!

It all kicked off with Joanna's 20th birthday bash on Friday.


No prize for guessing who this is.

Joanna turns 20 on June 1st, while her boyfriend turns 21 around there. So they held a chalet together, inviting pretty much everybody. Their families, their friends, the works.

And what do you get when that happens?

Absolute chaos. When Lazy and I arrived, the group of guys from Joanna's boyfriend's side kept staring at us, maybe mistaking Lazy for being one of Joanna's boyfriend's friends. From Joanna's side, she had her primary school friends, secondary school friends, some people from god-knows-where, and her entire family.

I, being classified under the primary school friends catergory, naturally remained in the chalet room with Michelle and Kalai, also from the same class in primary school. The rest of the people, including a couple of primary school friends who weren't close to us remained downstairs where the action was.

Anyways, they had their chaos downstairs, we had our chaos upstairs. Joanna came up to join us near the end of the BBQ. and we squeezed in a couple of pictures before we left.

This was the best.




Then on Saturday, I went for and failed my 2A prac 3 for the second time before going to the Max Pavilion at the Singapore Expo.



To attend the concert of the year,



The long awaited MAYDAY CONCERT!

YEAH! I LOVE MAYDAY!! GAHHHH!!!!!

*ahem*

Because CS couldn't utilise his ticket, we called up this bottomless pit,


Naruto

Who couldn't stop eating. He ate a pizza burger when we met, then a hotdog bun and a braised meat bun before the concert, and another hotdog bun right after the concert.

He must be really hungry.


My favourite brand for drinks.

Naruto's also a rider, like us, 'cept that he's a phantom rider.



We entered the concert hall without much fuss, after Naruto pointed out that it would be relatively easy to sneak in past the ticket collectors, what with all the chaos going on and only ticket collectors by the doors and a lot of space in between.


We got in too early.

A lot of people attended the concert. Even my cousin Kenneth, and I didn't know about it til today.



The crowd was enthusiatic too, with people screaming left, right, center whenever anybody walked on stage or when the lights dimmed.

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, an angel appeared.



Him.

Ah Xin!!! The lead singer of Mayday.

Gradually, the rest of the badn appeared too.





I think this is Stone,



... the one who famously proposed to his girlfriend during one of their concerts? He's now a happily married man.

The concert was a success! I screamed so much that I think Naruto is slightly scared of me now.



The entire band. Ah Xin. Stone. Monster. Masa. Guan You. MAYDAY!!!

It was awesome. Totally, slur-inducingly, crotch wetting AWESOME.


On Sunday, we woke up early for the old 346 basketball gathering.


Lazy, Kun Rong and Gabriel.

There weren't many people, and the man of the hour (also known as the guy set the time at 11am and who's supposed to bring the ball) overslept.


Wilson.

Which meant we were literally ball-less for about an hour before we got someone else to join in (and bring the ball).

We started a game at 346 before deciding that it was simply too hot, and shifted over to 325.



After a couple more games between ourselves and with some kids hanging out there, we took a rest and the void deck of 325, waiting for Hock.

He arrived at 4pm. Nice.


Hock. Finally.

We played until about 6pm, went for dinner, a certain blog-mistress got arrowed to organize the next outing and then went back.

So between 7pm to 10pm we :-

- Went for a haircut






Lazy is going to kill me for posting these.

- Bought certain neccessities
- Had supper
- Went back to Lazy's place for him to pack his bags for a week-long stay in camp

Lazy's now at camp for his week-long reservist. My very sweet Lazy, knowing how much I like to see him in uniform, jerked down the blankets I had over my eyes when he turned on the lights. When I opened my eyes he was already in uniform.



Doesn't my Lazy look hot?

After a good few kisses and a big bear hug, he's off again.

So now, my handbag feels rather empty without his things squeezing in with mine. My ears are ringing with silence without him singing loudly every now and then. Now there's nobody to make me smile no matter what happens. Nobody to dance with at my/his void deck.

Argh.

Maybe..


I found out something today.

But I guess I'll just let nature run it's course and then maybe time will reveal it's secrets.

Maybe I shouldn't be blogging so much about Lazy.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't care so much, seeing as this blog's for myself, my friends and the people who care about me.

I love you readers.

*smiles*

A Romantic Evening


In an effort to improve our relationship by a milestone, we've both taken a step towards becoming alcoholics.



In a good way of course.

Did you know that a bottle of wine can only get us two glasses each? That's VERY little.

Lazy and I had some dinner before that, and got this..







Not hard to guess where they came from, aye?

Anyway, Shrek ears aside, we finally opened the expensive bottle Lazy got at the DFS from his China trip.


Merlot de France

Just imagine.. Dim lights. A bottle of wine. A good movie about wine. Throw in snacks and a good cigar, and voila!


Snacks nearly finished by the Lazy.


And a small cigar.

Instant romance.

Not everyone gets to do this, you know.

So what's the next romantic movie we should watch on Romance Night with wine? We tried Chilean Chianti last night, and Lazy wants to try a South African cabernet savignon the next time, so we're only undecided on the movie choice.

Some help please?

Attention Mayday Fans!


Attention! Attention!

Fun fact of the day: Did you know that premium seating for the Mayday concert sold out within a week they released the tickets?

And I happen to have three of these.



One for the crazy Mayday fan that is JazzyME, one for Lazychoo, and one for our not-so-crazy Mayday fan CS.

Problem is, something else's cropped up for CS, and he couldn't attend this concert. So now, he's letting go of his ticket to the lucky winner who happens to call first!

Tickets bought at $130, he's willing to let go at $100. And as an added privilege for my readers, I'm subsidizing 10 measly bucks for readers who get the tickets through my blog. Which means you pay him $90 and I swipe his $10.

$90 for a premium Mayday ticket plus the chance to sit next to me! Any takers?

Promotion ends 2nd June. Which is the day of the concert itself.

So hurry! Either call me if you have my number, or call Lazychoo at 94879127 (you can also call this number if you're looking for an IT technician that charges reasonable prices), SMS, MSN, PM, whatever form of contact you like, as long as it reaches before Saturday.

Hurry!

Alexander


Uncle Alex got into an unfortunate accident last week, and he's been in hospital since last Monday.



His thigh bone was smashed straight through his pelvis bone, and so now..



... a metal pole is inserted through his leg and weights are attached to the harness which is attached to metal pole. It's function was to pull his thigh bone away from his smashed pelvis, but from what I see it's merely another torture device there solely for the purpose of entertaining the doctors and nurses.



Lazy and I and a whole host of other friends have been visiting him. I have become his Marish, and Lazy has become his part-time leg massager.



Uncle Lexie is having his operation to insert a metal plate into his pelvic bone tomorrow at 10am.

Everyone please help me pray for him.

The Black Devil


The black devil has been chasing me for our photo, and since I found out how to transfer stuff from my phone into the computer today, nah!



Taken when he went shopping with me for a present for my Lazy.

My black devil Aprilian brother. Whose bike has been in the workshop accompanying mine for quite some time now. Bwahahahaha~!

Now that most of the photos have been posted


... here comes the miscellenous photos post.

Where to start, where to start?

Oh well, right in the middle of nowhere's the best place to start, isn't it?



Well, most of these pictures came from god-knows-when, but they're confirmed taken somewhere during my little hiatus.



Like little Stitch there, caught on the first try at Suntec city's top floor arcade.

Which when added to my collection of stuffed toys Lazy's caught for me,



... looks just perfect!

Because Lazy spoilt his phone (very long story), he borrowed his mom's phone to use and then complained that it didn't have any of our photos. So we went on a rampage and took a LOT of photos.





And I'm being selfish and only showing these two.

My very handsome Lazy took me to PS and the Cathay the other day. We found this shop in a corner of the Cathay called Clique, a contemporary modern lifestyle shop that's got cuban art, cookbooks, spices, clothes, hats, underwear, lifestyle books, abstract jewellery, and even a little bar area that serves food and very good prices.



If you guys are ever in the Cathay, go take a look around. You might just find surprising things you'd like in there.



We got tired and hungry after awhile and went back to PS for our lunch/dinner. Lazy received a phone call about work again on our Sunday together.

Now people, what did I say about calling Lazy about work during his off time? Lazy and I have precious little time to spend together when we're not working, so please do not disturb us even when your computer has exploded and is melting right in front of your eyes.


Kena disturbed.

Kapeesh?

Mother's Day 2007


The Tan family's Mother's Day


Le mommas.

The Tan family's mother's day was celebrated with a buffet at one of my aunt's place. Most of the Tan mothers were there including my own mom.


My momma.




My cheeky cousin,


And my handsome boy.



The Tan family mommas including the mommas' momma, my grandmomma.


The Lim family's Mother's Day

A couple of days after the actual mother's day, we had another dinner for my maternal relatives.

We went to Turf City's Ah Yat seafood restaurant!


I love it when Lazy smiles like that.

Photographer for the night, Cudas.



Ok people, tell me, which photo is better? Which one captures a better angle? Cudas and I were arguing about who has better photography skills, so we need a judge.



Or



Comments please!

My mother's brother, uncle Charlie and his family,



Grandmama and my aunt Jennifer and their respective companions,



My cute mama,



And I.



After awhile it became a sort of a camwhore-while-you-eat session.







My teo little cousins, Xinyi and Yuxin.




Xinyi.





We were trying to make uncle Charlie feel like a lucky man, but as with the case of many girls surrounding a guy, he feels damn awkward.



The Lim family.



The Choo Choo and the Tan Tan.



The obligatory group photo,



And a very rare photo of my family together.
