Overdue Entry Part I

paiseh, everyone.
i'd promise one update eons ago but erm...
let's just take it as i was too busy? *coughs

it ain't possible for me to write (in detail) everything that happened over the past month right?
the best i can offer is a summarized recap of the important events.


*WARNING: LONG & GRAPHIC-INTENSIVE ENTRY AHEAD


#1 // working at pet safari

besides fattening my bank account a 'lil and freezing to death at the store, the one-month stint as a salesgirl rekindled my intense adoration for dogs.
though sitting around for 9 hours isn't exactly what i like, what kept me alive was all the doggies that came to the store.

i'll avoid any comments about bosses, staff, company etc (the blogosphere isn't exactly that private) but i can only say that i love the dogs more than the people there :)

let the picture do the talking.

#2 // movie magic

caught 2/3 movies on my "To Watch" list.
King Kong unexpectedly made me choke with tears and Narnia fueled my wish to finish reading Lewis' entire chronicle.



#3 // KTV goodness

two very wholesome KTV sessions with zhuang and alex/jane respectively.
it's just great to scream your lungs out. especially after the stressful exams and equally painful job.

didn't manage to take any pictures with zhuang cos i don't think we brought camera.
but i can vividly remember that we sang for almost 10 hours straight!
setting a whole new KTV-ing record for me. gonna be hard to break this one.

with jane and alex, it was really funny.
lex even bought us x'mas pressie - some grass monster.

we're supposed to water it until the seeds germinate and grass grows out.
i was apprehensive about growing plants since almost every plant i bought died.
but turns out this was relatively easy to grow because...

TADA it looks like this now.

it's so easy to grow to the extent that random grasses sprout out all over.
now my monster's even spotting a green whisker. *woots

besides the grass monster, alex bestowed on us a set of limited edition neoprint stickers featuring the renowned Wonder-Face Lex.

i'm honoured to announce that this set of neoprint stickers will make its first ever appearance on my blog.

so hold your breaths everyone, and behold the spectacle that is to be unveiled.

TADA!!!

LOL.
Wonder-Face Lex indeed lives up to his name of being the 8th world wonder.



#4 // lotsa retail therapy

after curbing expenditure for months, it was time to unleash the shopping monster in me. wahahaha.
went on lots of shopping trips and one really well deserved trip to a boat quay flea market but didn't buy much actually.
can't really compare when you have people like szeman and chin beside you, =P.

christmas lightings in orchard weren't that nice this year.
save for the huge tree in front of paragon featured in this picture.
the rest were like just mediocre. kinda sad yeah?

oooh cotton candy...
what a nostalgic thing of the past.
not that they're extinct now but we hardly ever eat it anymore.



#5 // festive season

and of course, december's the festive month.
with the joyous christmas on the 25th.

popped over to charmaine's for x'mas eve party.
but the bummmer was that i had work that day so i could only reach at 9pm.
when all the yummy food's almost gone and all the camera whores had enough of modelling in front of the camera. *tears

christmas with 208 is forever fun :)
besides the tradition of exchanging presents, we had our girls' gossip night where plentiful of relevations were exchanged.
(and i got Choya Umeshu as my pressie, thanks leeloo dearie.)

this year's christmas was great compared to last year.
not that i wanna draw a comparison but the contrast is so huge.
imagine puking and left all alone in a room compared to having 10 good friends beside you.
i'm so glad everything turned out for the better.


and just 5 days later, it's the dawning of a new year!

as usual i had work on new year eve which was a bummer (but it's the last day!)
met up with chin/szeman/zhuang to watch fireworks at the esplanade.
plus what made me really exhilarated was that this year mummy and daddy were with me to usher in the new year :)

were squashed like mad by the crowd but the fireworks were worth it.
i just wish the irksome perverts and foam sprays would disappear and everything would be perfect. what a spoiler.

anyways we proceeded back to my house to play bridge the whole night.
and dragged our feets to bugis to take a neoprint.
