I only know one of her song -- 叶子
We were still talking about her last Saturday and she passed away on Monday, 06 Apr 09 @ the age of 34 -- Breast Cancer. She was supposed to get married next year... ...
Her death kinda sadden me though I am no fan of hers. Anyway, can read more about her on http://blog.sina.com.cn/asangblog
Thank you for all the suggestions. After all the brain storming, we have settled for a fishy surprise celebration @ Fish & Co (Glass House), which is located @ Dhoby Ghaut.
We are planning to "borrow" the musical instrument, either the guitar or keyboard, from the band and play/sing him a b'day song. Then, we will invite him to sing us a song
After dinner, we can either proceed to family KTV (i.e Party World or Gold Dust Club or a KTV Pub in Boat Quay).
Okay, the plan goes as this... ...
I proposed to get a cake from Angie's Choice and we share the cost among those who are going (Objections?)
As for dinner, we will split the bill equally (including him??) Instead of buying him a dinner, shall we get him a gift? Probably an Ang Bao would be good bcos he is rather fussy with gifts! If we are giving him an Ang Bao, may I suggest about $15-20/pax? (Objections??)
As of now, we have the following
Confirmed Going
- Rachel
- Kareen
- JS
- Johnson
- Judy
Not Attending
- Adam & the Tong's family
- Ken
Lastly, anyone not going but wants to contribute a share, are most welcome to do so
Thank you.
My block is undergoing some upgrading programme. In fact, the surrounding blocks are also taking turns to go through the upgrading programme. Mobile toilets and bathrooms are provided at the void decks of all the upgrading blocks, mainly because some toilets will be renovated and there is no water supply from 8am to 6pm for a few weeks/each unit.
I noticed that for some residents, before their renovation even took place, they were already going down for showers and washing of clothes. *OMG* To train themselves to get used to using public bathrooms or to save water?? (-_-") Some residents even took the opportunity to wash their cars! Residents who reside in other blocks also came.
Since water supply is available in the evening after 6pm and temporary bathrooms are built in the toilets for residents usage, residents should be bathing at home yah? I noticed residents using the mobile bathrooms in the night, despite that there is no shower heater! This applies to aunties and uncles as well. Aren't they afraid of rheumatism?
It leaves me pondering if I would practice that too?
It is a memorable event which I must definitely note down!!!
About 2 weeks ago, we had our weekly MJ sessions, which would usually ends around early morning. On that particular day. we decided to end the session after playing only for a few hours (probably due to the humid weather lately) and decided to have supper @ McDonald (to enjoy the aircon; not for the food!)
This was funny. We weren't exactly hungry, therefore, we ordered a Fish and McSpicy + 9 pcs Nuggets & Fries to share. We cut the burger into 4 halves. Neighbouring diners must be thinking how pathetic we are. *kekeke*
While we were having our supper and listening to me complaining about how bad McDonald is and how unwillingly I am to spend my $$ on, etc etc... ... a group of ladies, sitting next to us, were playing poker cards.
The four of us started chatting about our Genting experience on how the dealer distribute 3 Kings etc etc, and we got excited and headed to LC's place to play "Rolex". Using chips worth of 10c and 20c, we took turns to play the role of Dealers for "Rolex", 3 Kings, "Ban Luck" and even "Da xiao". LOL... ... it was so fun and we don't even feel tired at all!
The feeling was good and we played almost all the basic games we could find in a proper casino. We were like 4 gambling addicts... ... :)
On 1st Apr, I had to share the following news with my boyfriend:
- I couldn't find my wallet and had most probably left it in the taxi on my way to work. However, I couldn't recall which taxi I took and I had to call up all the taxi companies to ask for assistance to broadcast the message to their cabbies. / Obviously no results! Good thing I still have a bag of coins with me for food.
- A monitor caused a small explosion, probably because of over-heating, at the neighbouring office in the morning and we had to be evacuated from the building.
- I twisted my ankle on my way from the canteen in the afternoon and it was hurting so badly! I called him a few times + some smses to update him how painful my ankle was caused by the inflammation.
Without $$$ caused I lost my wallet and with a twisted ankle, how could I go home?? My bf volunteered to come and pick me up from work and send me home.
======================================================================
HAHAHA... ... April's Fool!!! kekeke... ...
I haven't really been able to post much lately because my lappy died on me during the CNY Lohei in school! I was preparing some powerpoint slides before the start of the event. When I was supposed to screen the slides, there's an error msg indicating that OS cannot be found! WTF! Good thing our computer doctor was there and he used a software to logon to my lappy and took out the slides and used his lappy to project it! *Whew* He was also the one who told me that my hardisk had DIED on me! *%#$@ but then he provided me with my options and solutions :) It's always good to have doctor friends!
Anyway, here I goes:
I was busy with my annual CNY Reception in Jan and having to cover my colleague who was down with eyes infection (thanks to me!) for 3 weeks+++. Good thing that I have KJ to share the workload. In any case, life has been easier without the presence of my colleague (though I can't be on leave).
In early Jan, I was also busy with the packing and unpacking of my “luggage”. I only started packing my barang barang one day before the mover came to transport our stuff over. Threw away quite a lot of stuff but there are still a lot more *hehe*
As my colleague was on leave, I took time off on the day of my “official” moving in. After going through the customs for moving into our new flat, I took a cab and sent mavis to school before I go to work. As part of the custom, we are supposed to have our dinner @ home on the first day as well, so I went home and had dinner with my family. *Nice*
After dinner, I had to unpack my boxes of clothes and put them nicely into my new wardrobe. *Tired* Good thing that it was a Friday but still... I had to go for alumni meeting at school the next day.
On the eve of Chinese New Year's eve, I went out with my boyfriend and friends to buy CNY clothes and stuff. I couldn't buy any earlier because I didn't want to have too many things to pack and move over to my new flat. We shop and shop and shop till tired out. At 10+, we went AMK NTUC to shop and it was filled with “mountains of people” and we met Anges among the “mountains”. :p In the end, we didn't buy anything and decided to get it from Carrefour the next day. We went to the McDonald for a drink and hang out till 2+ in the morning.
On Eve of CNY, I reached home around 4+ to 5pm, settled down and start to unpack the remaining of my barang barang. I promised my mom that I would clear my boxes of barang barang by eve of CNY :p FYI, I only unpack my boxes of clothings when I moved in! I over estimated myself (-_-”) I only managed to finish clearing my barang barang around 10.30pm! *Phew*
On the first day of CNY, Grace and her daughter, Yixuan, came. I haven't had guests to my house on the first day of CNY for years! Yixuan brought along her little sweety, Snowy. I chatted with Yixuan and I like her. She's well mannered too.
I also played with her little Snowy. Though I had hamsters more than a decade ago, I didn't dare to touch them anymore! Yixuan gave me the opportunity to be able to hold them in my palms again :)
In early Feb, I attended the Alumni CNY Lohei and helped out alittle in some aspects. Jeffery was at the Lohei. One of my ex-classmates, Zhida, was there too, least expected him to be there. Junming RSVP that he would be going as well but he didn't turn up, despite my SMS reminder a day before the event.
Our new friend, Sumo Claudia, was there. She was adorable and strong :) May she grow up well.
Got the chance to sample the catering from ISS during the Lohei and decided that I should order their catering for my event too :) Good choice I supposed. *hehe*
There are going to be some changes within the committee. I supposed we'll either become strong or fall flat. Initially, I was considering to opt out of the committee after the CNY event – got to “postpone” my decision.
My friends & I planned a surprised b'day dinner for LC @ Pearl River Restaurant. The food was okay, the staff was reasonably well. I liked the cake very much because it looked so mischievious! Many strangers commented that the cake was nice! After dinner, we went Yello Jello!
My family had a one-day trip, less my sis who was unwell, to Muar. We bought 30 pcs of Muar Otak home and savour every slice of it *YUMMY*
Joined my boyfriend & his family for dinner to celebrate his granny's birthday. So many candles. Hmm... if I wonder if I would like all the candles or just a big one :) I think I want to light 30 small candles on my cake this year -- would it be beautiful?
I also joined his family for the Ke's annual dinner @ Shuang Xi Lou. I'm quite a vinegar cum tobasco person lately. When I'm at a Chinese restaurant, I would ask for vinegar to go along with anything. When I'm at an ang-mo restaurant, I would ask for tobasco sauce to go along with my food.
Organised an outing with the Carebear group - Picnic @ Marina Barrage. The last picnic we had was a year ago @ Sentosa. Anyway, this picnic sesssion wasn't too fruitful due to the rainy season. Learnt my lesson and will take note NOT TO have picnic during Qing Ming & 7th Month!
After the picnic, we went to the airport for a drink. I supposed that we were too big a group, had difficulty getting a place to settle all of us. we shifted from T3 to T2 and settled down inappropriately at a coffee joint.
