Jappy food indulgence

Having been deprived of Jap food for quite sometimes, I was totally gratified from the ala-carte buffet dinner last night. Dearie treated... thanks! It was at Hanabi in Katong Mall. $30++ for so many varieties you wouldn't have possibly tried everything. Hence, we reckoned that it's quite value for money. Hee.

Boozing night out

It was a pleasurable Friday night, chilling with my 2 gorgeous girlfriends and colleagues!

Paulanas with Joey and Evoynne

2nd round of drinks at Baraccuda with Joseph, Nate and James

I guess James got a little high and decided to grab the mic and sing his heart out. It was James's last day at work! I'm really gonna miss him. Such a fatherly figure who always takes care of me at work. *Hugs*

Honesty

I guess sometimes we really have to empty our conscience and reveal what truly hides beneath that closet of ours.

Is it possible to come uttermostly clean with someone close to you? I guess it's never possible even if I face my naked self.

I'm glad I attempted to with someone who should somehow, form a part of my life someday. It may not be absolutely forthright, but at least it's a good start, hopefully. It is time, seriously.

Jodice's ROM on 25/5

Jodice is one of my close friends whom I know since Secondary 1 and she finally tied the knot yesterday. Enjoy yourself in Bintan tomorrow babe!

Her solemnisation at Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel...

The golden ticket!

With the lovely bride...

I dig the coasters!

The couple with the solemnisor

With Jodice and Winnee

I always feel blissful for those who tie the knot with their love ones. And I start to ponder, will I be as blissful as well when my big day arrives? It's a question that always makes me feel both anticipative and fearful. Come what may... :)

Lunar

I patronised Lunar on Friday, as recommended by James. It is a asian fusion bar with quite impressive decor. I heard the decor of the whole place costs half a million! But well, only if you like chinese livebands coupled with occasional cheesy performances, but still graded entertaining. These people come from Taiwan and China. Oh, and of course the 16 hot coyote babes who entice men with their sexy groovy moves!

Fantasy

This scenario flashed across my mind just now. Both seemingly surreal and tangible. I'd visualised myself standing on a platform and singing my hearts out to people who enviably applaud me for my moving voice.

Is this a fantasy? Or a turning true phenomenon? Haha.

Queer fantasy...

My Vesak Day

This morning, I did a mini spring cleaning for my room. Well seriously I wouldn't really be so hardworking if not my parents wanted to change my room flooring. That will equate to massive ransacking and disposal of things out of the room. But interestingly enough, as I started to excavate items and photos which have almost been buried for almost a decade or so, I began to recollect memories both pleasant and worth longing for. Thanks to the spring cleaning afterall. Haa.

Shufen, Xinyi and me in TPJC uniform. We were 18 then.

SIM gathering with schoolmates

Joey and me in Neoprints! To my shock, I actually found A LOT of Neoprints taken in the past. Didn't know I was crazy about that. Hee...

Liping, Shihui, June, Cynthia and me in one of those rare gatherings after graduating from JC

Birthday, Christmas and New Year greeting cards I have received for the past decade. I still keep them alright!

I miss those part time Cinnabon days while I was still schooling in SIM...

These photos and many other more are remnants of past memories which are difficult to pursue anymore. Although the photos were somewhat blurring due to its aging over the years, I still want to keep them for another decade and more decades to come!

On a more solemn note, I was appalled to realise the number of deaths that occurred to date due to the Szechuan earthquake. The number is just multiplying everyday.

While I'm now comfortably nested in my house, I can't help but feel that tinge of agony by this serious calamity that has befall on China. Numerous and indefinite lives are forsaken, survivors maimed and traumatised, buildings and architecture wrecked, fear and uncertainty lurks. I guess we can never totally feel the kind of wound being inflicted on them.

On this holy Vesak Day, I send silent blessings to the earthquake victims, who had both demised and survived. May everything revert to tranquillity again.
