HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
XIN NIAN KUAI LEWAN SI RU YIHELLO!!! I had wanted to update this blog last week but apparently webshots was down during that period and i couldnt upload the photos that i had wanted. Hows everybody? Lets see.. the past 2-3 weeks were pretty alright. There were basically 2 major events that are stuck in my mind till now and they are the steamboat that mek, alvin, yimin, peishan and thomas had over at my place and also the rice table buffet that I had with the dudes. Actually not to also forget the outing that i had with yimin and seejun at chinatown yesterday. Goodness Edwin has just told me that he is going to chinatown like NOW? 2310hrs. I'm seriously doubting that he'll be able to move more than 5m in a min. Yesterday was already like so packed, with the 3 of us oftenly being seperated due to the incoming crowd. I dont know whats with me but it has been a habit since poly that i would head to chinatown during the festive periods to be immerse with the atmosphere. Anyway yesterday while we were at a shop selling sweets, the uncle was like " Hey! One packet for 5 dollars , my boss has gone to chang mai and ask us to mai , but we dont know how to mai so we are mai-ing to you all cheap cheap 1 packet for 5 dollars! any sweets also can!!!" So the 3 of us were actually pretty captivated by the sweets. The sweets are actually those MUJI? Hmm.. those sweet pastries frm taiwan? SO yeah basically i was just like standing at the pack letting ym and sj do all the collecting when suddenly this auntie frm my left threw a handful of sweets into my packet thinking that i was her husband. It was so funny when she reallised that i wasnt. lol. Oh did i mention the uncle kept asking us to pack as much as possible into one packet? so basically when we were done, our packs were pretty heavy. Then after that we walked downwards to another shop that was selling jelly. So once again it was one packet for 5 dollars but this time the uncles werent as friendly as the other one. They kept making comments such as " hey .. dont overload that bag, know your limits!" IT was like so rude la. but oh well.. heck! we only bought one packet. OK in short over at chinatown, Yimin bought sweets. Seejun bought some biscuits and the sweets while i bought sweets, pomelos and also watermelon seeds. yay!! haha. After that we headed to geylang. NO.. not that. Pls dont let your mind sway the wrong direction but rather we were looking for the you tiao ta wang but sadly it was closed then we just went behind to purchase some oranges that seejun's mum had requested while i got some durians for my parents. Being slightly thristy and hungry, we decided to head towards chomp chomp but sadly it was already almost closed. So there we were at the prata shop opposite it and I DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE ANYMORE!! Talk about bad service and lousy food. That shop was as a complement of both! LIke.. the guys there took 15mins to get our order and then another 15 to serve the food. which was already done like 10mins ago. Whatever la. THen we ordered tea with milk and guess what we got? Milk with tea and lots of sugar! sigh.. damm lousy la! anyway i'm uploading the photos so enjoy!!
These were the pictures taken over the ricetable during our lunch outing...oh did i mention that this was the first outing together with Weeloon. What a rare sight!! 
Now are for the pictures taken during the steamboat. Oh actually after the steamboat we had proceeded to wala wala for a round of drinks and also treated to an awesome gig by a rock band! Btw i do have to prewarn you guys that certain pictures are definately not for the faint hearted.
And now for a more emotional tone. I'm really gonna miss all of you guys when i'm over in melbourne. And right now.. i really wish to be able to go out with all of you all! Over and over again. And btw.. i really wanna say thanks to someone. Thanks for forgiving me. Even though i doubt you'll ever read this but I really feel alot happier knowing that we could still be friends hopefully back to the gd friends we were but even if we cant.. we are still friends. =) . BGR is really something that i'm not looking forward to, I've realised that its alot better to be very close friends than to venture into somewhere not knowing where it might end up to or worst still cant even be friends. I made that mistake before , actually more than once and i guess i have finally learnt my lesson. But anyway that statement is only applicable to those of short term relationships. For long term relationships.. if both parties are willing to commit ultimately i feel that it will most likely end up being fine. Ok i'm not too sure what i am talking about now. I'll just let nature take its course =)
