Last night was damn rubbish to the
max la! I'm almost too embarrassed to blog about it. =x
Met the girls for steamboat at shan's place! And as usual, we forgot to bring
oranges. Hahaha. The funniest part was when ekoh and I were trying to call lamu and get her to bring before she came, and shan's mother overheard us. I think she didn't know what on earth we were trying to buy, until shan told her that we wanted oranges. And she promptly kept offering us those in her house, telling us not to buy cos' she had alot.
Funny can!! Imagine taking the oranges and then giving back to her mum: "Auntie gong xi fa cai!".
>_<
Anyways! That orange saga was just the usual thing almost every year...hahaha. I like how we are always so forgetful actually. Makes CNY a very interesting affair. =p
And the girls surprised bern and I with yummy cake and gifts! Okay, so the gifts were what we expected cos' we pretty much told each other to tell the rest what we wanted. Lol. And the darlings made us vouchers! It's damn cute la! I have vouchers for things like unlimited hugs and company and unlimited unglam photography shots (courtesy of zhen, who else =p), etc etc.
Thanks dearies! Really loveeee you all to bits and pieces and more! Huggs! =D
And I was like "shopping" in shan's house because she was trying to clear their u-phorique stock. Lol. Ended up with a new bag and skirt! Power right, go and eat one steamboat and celebrate birthday also can end up shopping. I like this notion, really. =p Just that this shopping place abit
faaar...
woodlands lehh!
And speaking of which, that was where mine and ekoh's nightmare started. Hahaha.
Was supposed to send her back to tpy from woodlands before going home myself..sounds damn freaking straightforward right?
Riiigghhttt.So straightforward until I literally travelled in a line from
woodlands to
pasir ris. *faints*
That was an extremely
long expressway, I swear.
And to think that my initial problem was getting from shan's place to the expressway. Thought that after I hit it, shouldn't be a prob..I ended up having not much problem getting to the highway, but then everything that could go
wrong, went
wrong after that.
And you know what? I'm still not very sure which is the turn that I missed. Haha!
Our journey home thus consisted of travelling from ulu woodlands to elias park..where I ended up making a circle and we found ourselves at elias
again. Ekoh was starting to get the shivers..she said it was like some haunted house thingy where you can't seem to find your way out. Lol.
Eventually, I just whacked it and followed my gut feeling. Which led us through small roads and thank goodness, finally the
PIE!
Heyy I spent the last 20 over years of my life living next to the PIE, it can't be helped that that's the only expressway I'm familiar with. Haha. And let me emphasise, I'm mostly familiar with PIE from tpy to the east side only. =p
Called for help when we were lost in pasir ris, but my help was equally
lost over the phone. Haha! Okays not your fault. I'm a lousy navigator. =p
Poor eileen had to suffer alongside me though. Haha. At least now I know how to get back from elias..though I'm sure the route I took was a long one. Lol. I don't think eileen will be wanting to sit in my car anytime soon again. =D
Of all times, I had to pick last night to "familiarise" myself with the singapore roads. =p
Going to the sentosa flowers later! Hope the weather will be fine..it looks abit cloudy from here. The last time I went 2 years ago, it rained la..dampened the atmosphere somewhat. I wonder what kind of memories will resurface when I go there later..that day 2 years ago is still firmly etched in my memories. Ohwells..like I keep telling myself, don't live in the past.
But easier said than done lehh..Alrights! Hope I don't get lost later. Why doesn't PIE lead to sentosa and backk. Haha. As what JT calls me, I'm Ms PIE already. =p
And I found out something last night which he says spoils the element of surprise. Well too bad for you! Lol.
Fate has a funny way of bringing something into your life at times. I've been through the worst, and also what I thought was fairly good. Shall just wait and see where this one falls under.. =)
