*~ Cherindipity Moments ~*

Started the day off with KLunch at Marina Square with bing! :) very happy ne ~
then we went to bowl.. hahaa.. mi average is usually abt 60+.. best i get around 76.. and on the 23rd with colleagues i think i managed to get 78..
but wahhahaha! with bing.. cos no one to laugh at me, decided to try to figure out the "stance" abit..
we paid for 2 games and started getting addicted to it.. so all in all we had 5 games! O_O" right arm was super tired by the end cos i was using a 10pound ball.. (usually i use 8)
but hor! 3 out of 5 i had above 110pts! best score to date is 115! eh.. very proud liao okie!! i almost doubled my usual average.. so.. gonna get better still!

after bowlin and a bit of shopping, we met cuz~ ^^

went over before dinner and got made up under her skillful hands.. hehe thank you dear! ^^
rushin off to town after tat.. missed the first cab but a merc cab stopped for us~ hehee think both our lucky clovers were at work ^^

dinner was at Marmalade Pantry.. the food was really tasty.. but service can definitely be better.. (and im being polite here..)
but for the food! it's still worth going~~ yup yup~


My christmas eve dinner dates ^^


this is the first time i tasted Foie Gras (Goose liver..) gosh.. it tastes really good.. :P


and here's the main course - roasted lamb~ ;P~


After dinner drinks at Mezzanine Bar (Hyatt Hotel). My first Sangria.. NICE! ;D~


chinghway and chan came to join us for some drinks.. missed the countdown tho.. :P


so much for our 2nd dress-up christmas eve~ our only full-body shot turned out like tat.. but thank you to mr stranger who still was kind enough to help~

waahh.. super tired.. :P~
started with a day of work (well trying.. but alredi in holiday mood).. learnt abit of jap which i have forgotten liao..
2nd outing with colleagues ne.. first time with so many of us.. hee~
started by being a nuisance in shinshin's car.. purposely sat in the front seat and irritated the hell out of him, ln, and yk! hahaha :D~

went to play pool.. *sob* played 2 games.. lost one, and won one with alot of luck.. (as usual) cos cy hit the black ball into the unintended hole..

finally managed to get 3 lanes at abt 7pm at the bowling alley opposite.. geez.. marina bowl has very lousy balls leh.. both cy and ln broke their nails ne..
split into 3 lanes so i joined the "wash drain club".. hehee.. but not bad leh.. we all got above 60..
i got 76! not too bad right.. considering i still maanged 1 strike and 1 spare.. >_<
a few guys became "supermen" by the way they were almost flying off with their balls.. (BOWLING balls! .. must clarify in case mr porner and his clones read this..)
kw did a classic move! got up, took a ball, walk to the lane and *BOOM* dropped the ball.. aiyo..
sad leh.. 14 of us, only yh managed to get above 100pts! so pai seh.. hehee~

dinner was good.. at ichiban boshi at esplanade.. too bad.. no camera.. so only got more pics of ME alone.. with kc's camera phone.. the place quite dark but ambience very nice leh..
we're all so crappy.. almost seems like we're all drunk on green tea.. hehee

after dinner, walked over to oriental hotel, cant remember wats the pub called.. sat their and chilled.. funny leh.. cos 3 guys got Milky Way which tasted horrible.. ended up being the "price" for losing at "007".. hahaa alredi very experienced so i didnt get forfeited at all okie! ^^
first time i see mi colleagues all abit high and siao... so funny.. but they're such a cute bunch! :D

kc turned out to be the real party animal ne.. he felt that 12am was still too early to head home.. but i was kinda reluctant too.. cos parents not around ma.. so 3 of them came over.. and we drank and played dai di till 4am.. yk got super drunk ne.. kept mumbling "body must move, mind still strong... cannot control body.." then rolled around and faced the ceiling and looked like a frog lo.. hehee~ finally everyone headed home le.. so tired.. ~
but so funny.. hahaha! ~ :P~

waahh.. been so super tired.. OT OT every other day..
and since we started using linux.. i've been growing accustomed to "Ctrl-y" for pasting.. and "Ctrl x-s" for saving.. -_-""


****11 Dec 2005****

Went KTV with Milton and Xueling last sunday.. hehee now then remember to blog it.. waahh.. shen! never knew the NJ table tennis team had teammates that loved singing too okie!~
and Xueling! waahh.. like wat milton says.. she's our hidden talent.. her voice is super sweet lor.. (not like how she usually talks.. hehehee) so glad! more singing khakis le! ^^


****13 Dec 2005****

yay!~ i watched Perhaps Love le!~ nice leh.. first time i watch a chinese "musical"... but Zhou Xun is really pretty.. liked her when she acted as Huang Rong in 射雕英雄传~
the show's really good ne.. and had extra incentive when i realised the 4th main cast was the guy from Jewel in the Palace aka 大长今!!~

****16 Dec 2005****

Friday sports hour, me challenged tyk to bball one-on-one.. bleh.. actually he quite li hai la.. we started with 4-0 in my favour.. and i only managed to win 7-4 in the end...
2nd time we started with 0-0... but after alot of cheating.. i still lost 7-2.. -_- *sad*

dinner was with feng and mr "very HIP" lecturer..



there's our very hip lecturer standing behind me and feng~ hehee~ met up finally to catch up since we grad.. tho feng pops in his office every now and then~ hehee.. and there's our table of unfinished food at Lemon Grass.. but *tasty tasty!~* ;P~


ehh... how do u expect us to smile when u hold our chins up like that?? i was really trying very hard to look natural there k.. >_<

wen joined us later.. poor girl OTs alot too.. always rushing to meet us..
but we're too pooped to take more picts..

yay!~ i wished for a four leaf clover handphone accessory since i broke mine after a terrible quarrel months ago..
was talkin to minmin abt it when we met on mi bday.. how she also felt her luck change when i gave her the 4 leaf last yr when i got back from korea.. and how things seem to be going down after hers broke.. (kinda like mi situation too) strange yeah?

so here it is!~ TADA!~


so glad! the girl at the shop said, to take the one you set ur eyes on.. somehow will just know you want it! and this is MINE!~ :)
its so pretty.. a bit strange cos the leaves are in little heart shapes.. but i guess its cos its very young ba..
anyways, things are gonna get better from here!~

oh oh.. never knew abt this place.. or i must have forgot abt it.. at dunno which side of Millenia Walk.. ( not sure abt the directions here..) but there's this pretty water thingie.. got a strange liking towards water.. like to play with it mostly.. lookin also very nice..



so happy!~

*hugs*

got a lot to update.. alot of pics i still havent take.. but so tired lately cos of OT.. wait till weekend ba.. ^^

such a long week.. seems like it's been forever.. so weird..
trying to recall abit.. very dramatic ne.. hahaa

wednesday morning (7th Dec 2005).. was on my way to work as usual.. and when i reached PSB building, my left slipper's strap broke..
would be a good time to have a clip/elastic band/stapler or something at that moment to do temporary fixing.. so started digging in my bag for smth handy.. but NO! i had nothing -_-"
dragging the slipper around was more difficult than having no slipper.. i made up my mind to walk left foot BARE.. YUP! 20 min without a slipper on mi left foot! so i walked across a small carpark, up a slope, crossed a road, through a larger carpark, up 100+ steps, along a pathway, into the lift, along the corridor and finally to my work area! shen! (jing bing..) right.. but surprisingly, i realised its a lot more relaxing walkin barefooted.. cos mi right leg ached more than my left after that walk.. O_o strange hor..? anyways.. needa add in the bit that when i felt my slipper strap loosening, i looked up and saw a colleague of mine.. whom thinkin i was just walkin SUPER slowly.. decided to go off.. :P but luckily shin2 had a pair or extra slippers in office.. so i borrowed it till i managed to get new slippers during lunch.. ^^
anyways.. so thursday morning(8th dec), i met that colleague again when we were entering the office building. as i took out my pass to beep at the sensor, it dropped to the floor! ehh.. really jinxed huh? the acryllic case broke!! not even the elastic stringie thingie ne.. it was the acryllic case! how in the world!! still can't figure it out.. just jinxed.. -_-"

but having a bit of Ah Q mentality these days.. i figured it was lucky my slipper broke on wed since it hadn't rained for 2 days.. so the roads were dry.. thurs was a rainy day ne.. so was fri..
and if the pass didn't drop when i noticed, i might have lost it accidentally elsewhere and fined $30!

but i should be getting some good luck comin soon yeah? gonna be gettin a new four-leaf clover to replace the one i broke a few months back..
lln said to me "you seem to have alot of incidents" ehh.. really leh.. last mon(28th Nov), some funny reaction happened to my face after using my trusty pimple cream.. and mi face was patchy red for 2 days! luckily i just looked very sun-burnt.. then this week i had a pimple growing conspicously on my eyelid.. really bothered my to hell!

this was a pic taken on my way home on wednesday evening.. nice right? dunno.. the sight just made me kinda happy.. so got tyk to help me get a pic.. ^^

went out with feng after auditions yesterdae (9th dec)... messed up really bad for the first time.. i got my lyrics all messed up. and later in the night we happened to meet one of her teachers (one of the judge) and he mentioned it was the other female judge's FAVOURITE song! omg.. how much more unlucky could i get? messing up someone's fav song is gonna get me super condemned! :(

anyways.. thats over.. haha~ we were sittin outside PS then somehow we got onto a strange topic.. that *touch wood* if anything happens to either of us, what we would like to entrust each other to do.. aiyah.. very dramatic.. hehee~ ^^

hehe.. so fun.. i've always teased major for being 2 days "younger" than me.. and wen being 3 days "younger" :D
but its so cool to have bdays so close together so we've been celebrating together every year now!

after a whole week of emailing.. we still didn't think up anything exotic to do.. so we decided to get ourselves dead drunk at home.. hehe~
only ziyi (my "lao ba") was very awake cos he didn't take a single sip.. poor lao ba went to pull out his wisdom teeth.. couldn't eat, and drank only warm water..
and being so sober.. he took photos for us.. and i just realised my "lao ba" is not in ANY OF THE PHOTOS!!! :'(


me & phia phia were the first to drop "dead".. poor phia phia kept "banging" herself when we were playin xiang's recommendation "007".. well, only cos she was alredi gettin a drunk.. haha..
silly girl was a real joke tat nite.. also nicked "suicide bomber" :P~


feng feng is a slow reactor.. took a while for the alcohol to take effect on her.. but also another joker! ;D

susan ma.. she's darn steady.. pple take one mouth, she gulps down the whole cup like plain water!! O_O


this is me after a nap.. still a bit blur.. got up only cos i almost got dunked in the pool.. *again*
hehe don't look at wen (my right) and major (my left) and think they very sober okie..
they also a bit siao siao alredi ne..


we were ORDERED to make our wishes.. and from a distance.. i remember hearing "lao ba" saying major very insincere leh.. hehee just look at the pict!


blow out candles lo!! wen's was the last one standing!


cutting the cake was a bit of a difficulty.. fruity cakes are never easy.. -_-
but wen's always the cake cutter.. who for the first time, made a mess of the cake :P
(can look at photo at http://cherriko.multiply.com/photos)

but we still had a nice relaxed lunch-tea at crytal jade (taka) sat there and chatted.. then decided to go see if we could go some karaoke.. heh but ended up shopping instead. ^^

feng came to join us cos she reached town a little too early.. hehe~

went off to meet joseph for dinner at Prinsep Place~


joseph, me and feng and Mr Bean's.. i had no idea they served anything more than soya bean.. :P and the food was NICE lah!

received a surprise sms from an old friend.. invited him to join me for dinner but he's still as shy as ever.. smsed me when he reached to meet outside mr bean's.. :P

but was very happy to meet up hancheng.. this yr marks our 10th yr of friendship.. didn't even realise till he told me.. and he got me that very nice charmed necklace.. hehe ^^

back at mr beans's.. dav asked me where the restroom was.. and i was wondering why when the sign was staring at his face.. but being nice and patient, i directed him anyhows.. little did i know, he actually went "discreetly" to the counter to get them to serve the cake.. hehe
i was actually caught by surprise! darn.. how could i lose to dav's tricks -_-

so here's my 2nd candle.. 2nd wish.. hehee ;D

after dinner, not knowing where to head to.. we decided to have our dessert :D~
