hurray~!
after a long week of being cooped up at home, keong brought me to bugis. we had an early dinner at v8. then, we went shopping for juan's pressie. found a great gift for her, an eeyore cushion but it was too bulky to carry around. so i called angela, with the thought of passing it to her later that day. i was surprised when she said she was at bugis. such coincidence~!keong and i went to get her pressie, the eeyore cushion and an eeyore cup with a unique handle, before we went to meet her. im glad she like it. =) we shopped together, in the mall and at bugis street. keong and i bought 3 stickers for our helmets.keong and i left when it started drizzling.

journey to genting
day 1: i woke up at 5.30am to prepare. aunt jen, granny, eml and i took a cab at 6.40am. arrived at lavender at 7.05am and met up with keong. throughout the 7 and ½ hour journey, there was 2 stopovers; a short toilet break and a lunch break.
we had lunch before checking-in into genting hotel. the room and toilet was huge, dimly litted with only a few orange-coloured lightings. i thought it looked quite scary. after a shower, eml, keong and I went to meet juan and jeff at the lobby. they brought us to explore the casino, explained the games briefly. we watched juan while she played dai sai. later, jeff brought keong and me to play jackpot. when we went back, eml was sitting beside juan playing as well. keong also joined in.
we had dinner at hainan restaurant. after dinner, we went to get my stuff before going to the cineplex. the duration of the movie; da vinci code is 2 hours. by the time we got back to the hotel, it was 2+. day 2: we went for breakfast at the pizza place. after brunch, we went to the outdoor theme park to get tickets for all parks. we played the spinner, antique car, pirate train, dinosaur land and corkscrew. out of a sudden, it rained. so, we went to first world indoor theme park.
we had lunch at kenny rogers. the food wasn’t as nice. thereafter, eml suggested going shopping. in total, we bought 6 pairs of footwear from padini, 2 handphone chains, a pouch from girls and a top from soda. with like so many plastic bags, we couldn’t play the rides so we went back to the hotel to put away our stuff. then, we went back to play euro express and rio float before rushing for dinner at a chinese restaurant beside the genting’s casino.
after dinner, we went to watch the mysteria. all of us nearly fall asleep at some point in time. but I thought the acrobat girls were fantastic.
we went to the casino till 3am, had supper before going back to the hotel.
day 3: breakfast was dim sum at ah yi bao yu restaurant. then, we went shopping again. bought caps for the boys and more footwear. went back to the hotel to place the stuff before going to the casino.
we went for dinner at happy valley. then, it was to the casino again. keong and i went back to the hotel earlier to clean his wound.

happy birthday juan~!!!
i accompanied keong to the hospital for his check-up. we waited almost 1 and ½ hour and his consultation lasted like 2 mins. then, we went to the dressing room to get his leg bandaged.
we left the hospital at 3+, went to parkway to get our money changed. thereafter, we headed to reys’ place to get my ipod from her but she couldn’t find it. before I went home for dinn, I went to keong’s place to help him pack his bag.

my weekend
12 May, Friday. i spent my day rolling in bed watching television. took a shower at 4+, dressed up and prepared to accompany my granny to some long distance relative’s wedding.
we got to the hotel at 7+, went up the escalators to the ballrooms and nearly got the wrong ballroom. the dinner only started at like 8.40pm. if compared to fullerton where I once worked in their banquet for a couple of weeks, the hotel is far from fullerton’s standard.
we left the hotel at about 10.30pm, took a cab home.
and that was my friday! how boring..
13 May. Saturday. keong and i went to simei for lunch and also to get the ingredients and fruits that we were missing for the cake baking. then, we went to my old place. we started baking at like 4+. the first sponge cake we baked didn’t succeed. the second cake (banana cake) was quite okie. keong thought it was nice. the third cake we baked was okie but due to the shape of the baking tin and the fact that the mixture was too lil, there was a hole in the centre. keong decided to make do with it so we started decorating. the last cake which is supposing to be my cake was a total failure.
by the time we left my place, it was 9.30pm. it wasn’t easy holding on to the cake all the way from my place to his place. we had korean noodles for dinner. i left his place before they cut the cake so i didn’t manage to taste it.
14 May, Sunday. Happy Mothers’ Day to all the mummies~!
i met keong at simei. managed to catch the shuttle bus cos the driver was late by 1 min. my aunt was just telling me when i rushed out of the house that i wont be in time. keong and i went to get a butter cake (just in case my cake doesn’t succeed), eggs and cream for the last attempt.
we went to my old place. we had only 2 hours cos we are having dinner at 5pm. he had his lunch while I got started. it was almost 4pm when we placed the baking tin into the oven, keong and i thought it would be better if i start decorating the butter cake.
sadly, the cake wasn’t successful. it must have been the microwave oven; eml told me there’s something wrong with the microwave oven. but i thought i could try one last time. i was busy decorating the cake while keong cleaned up the entire kitchen and utensils. managed to complete the decoration of the cake at around 5.15pm.
keong sent me to my mum’s place before he went to park his bike at my place. we had dinn at joo heng.
after we got home from dinner and had the cake, keong accompanied me to tampines to get flowers for my mum. then, we went to pass the cake and flowers to my mum. before he sent me home, we made a trip to my old place to get all the baking stuff for eml.keong: thanks so much for everything~!

keong's discharge after operation
didnt sleep well, woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night. finally, i got up at 8+, mingled around the room till 9+, took a shower and took the shuttle bus to simei. i went to the supermarket to get some stuff and got a gerbera table bouquet.
i took a cab to SGH. he was sleeping when I got there. after he showered, we went to the food court to get lunch. some time later, he got sleepy. so, i left the room and took a walk around the area.
in the late afternoon, his parents and god-daddy came. the doctor recommended that he get discharged cos the doctor was afraid of the risk that keong might get infection from the hospital.
i took a cab with keong. spent the evening at his place. more often than not, door bells could be heard. his relatives came one after another. jas and sky came too.

keong admitted to hospital
keong came to pick me up for my interview. got there a few minutes late. i filled up an application form and waited for awhile before the interview, which lasted less than 5 minutes.
after the interview, i accompanied keong to see his family doctor. we managed to get there before their lunch break. phew! but the bad news: keong had to go to the hospital as soon as possible. after we got the letter of referral and made the payment, we went to his place.
while we waited for his parents to shower and dressed up, i slept for a while. i took a cab with keong and his god-daddy. we arrived at the hospital at around 2.30pm. had to go through so many procedures; registration, brief check-up done by the nurse, doctor’s consultation, x-ray, bone surgeon’s consultation, admission registration, blood test and drip, waited for the nurse to escort us to the ward (took a long long time), waited for nurse to bring clothes and towel, waited for doctor to do check-up.
by the time he got settled down, it was almost 8pm, which means the whole procedure took like 5 hours plus. everyone left after the visiting hour which is 8.30pm. i took a cab home for dinner.

happy birthday jasmine~!
i slept till the late morning. wasn’t feeling well. couldn’t even get out of bed half the day. i had difficulty walking around so i spent my afternoon lying in bed watching vcds.
in the evening, i took a train to cityhall and walked slowly to suntec. after 25 minutes, i was at the foyer (the tower at which carrefour is located), standing in front of the starhub road show’s stage watching the activities going on. the show lasted 45 mins. after the show, keong and I went to sky garden for dinner. then he went back to finish up his work.
as soon as he was done, we went to get jas’ birthday pressie. we found a butterfly pendant that we thought was suitable for her. with that, we headed to jas chalet at pasir ris. didn’t stay for long cos we weren’t feeling well.

meet up with cathy and isabelle
keong just went home so here I am blogging.
keong woke me up this morning. after breakfast, he waited for me while I shower. and cos of that, i made him miss the bus. we took a cab together, he dropped off at simei while I went to tampines mall. met up with cathy and isabelle outside body shop.
after much discussion, we had sushi for lunch. the nabeyaki udon was really bad, the worst i ever eaten. the udon was so soft, it breaks when i hold the chopsticks a lil harder. it was so bad, i didn’t even eat half the bowl. cathy and isabelle were joking about how picky am i when it comes to food. before we left, they gave me an “emily the strange” sling bag. so sweet of them!
after lunch, i had to rush off to pack lunch for my uncle. i had like 10 mins to reach the foodcourt, buy his lunch and walk over to the shuttle bus’ waiting area (tampines). quite impossible huh? when I got to the foodcourt, i realized they didn’t have what my uncle want. so i thought i could take the shuttle bus to simei, buy his lunch and wait for the next shuttle bus. with 5 mins left, i was still squeezing my way through the crowd to the ground floor. fortunately, the bus just arrived when I got there.
i met up with keong and marcus at the shuttle bus’ waiting bay (simei).
later, keong and i went to red man to get baking utensils and ingredients. we headed to melville to begin our cake making. we made 3 cakes with 3 different recipes. the first one tasted good but was too hard. the second one tasted bad and was also hard. the last one tasted fine but was too soft.
by the time we left for dinner, it was almost 9pm. i decided to bring keong to bark café. we had potato wedges and norwegian salmon steak.
keong: i had a great time whisking, folding and baking. thank you! I guess you’re the only one who is willing to do this with me. sorry to make you go round looking for my handphone and make you feel embarrassed cos the shop assistant had to help you look for it. *muacks*

4 May, Thursday
like the past few days, keong made porridge while I shower. once again, we missed the bus by 2 – 3mins. i was kinda frustrated but it was for a good cause cos keong received a call from the police saying that he is admitted. Cheers!
we took a cab to simei mrt, took the train to novena and walked over to the bus stop. marcus was already waiting for us when we walked over. aunt jen told marcus that he shouldn’t take any more heaty stuff so the obedient boy ate chicken rice. after lunch, we took the train home and ensured that hes home.
keong and I went to tampines, block 400+ for bubble tea, milkshake. thereafter, we went to tampines central to do a few things; return the last 2 vcds, to check out on the mobiles at singtel (cos my mum’s mobile spoilt) and to check out for sponge cakes’ recipes (im intending to bake a cake for mothers’ day). we actually went to look through recipe books and copy down the ingredients into our handphone. how mean can we be?
before going home for dinn, we went to simei to check out the cake ingredients. after much consideration, we decided to buy them only when we need to use it on the actual day.

keong came at 11+ and cooked lunch. we left home and took a cab to st michael's side gate. together with marc, we walked to novena square. marc decided to have lunch at long john. after lunch, we walked to novena mrt.
after we sent marcus home, we set off to queensway to look for rollerblades but didn’t had much luck. but keong got me a bangle, belt and necklace. then i suggested that we go search for the swiss roll at kandahar street. keong managed to find the place without much effort. i bought a kaya, mango and blueberry each. i was feeling hungry so keong brought me to tampines for dinner before sending me home.

baby-sitting day 1
i woke up with an irritating, dry throat. drank like 2 cups of water, took 2 strepsils honey and lemon, 2 halls sweet but still felt uncomfortable. later, keong bought me soup noodles.after I took a shower, keong told me that we were going to be late. i had like 10 minutes to prepare. i quickly got changed, grab my stuff and rushed to the bay where the bus usually is. unfortunately, we were 2 minutes late. the bus always leaves on time. we decided to walk out to take a cab. while we were walking to the gate, keong noticed a cab. hmm.. i guess our day aint that bad after all. we haven’t step into the mrt station for ages. we alighted at novena and walked to united square. got a vanilla ice cream cone cos keong says it'll make me feel better. indeed it does. we walked to st michaels and waited for marcus at the foyer. ½ hr later, marcus walked down from the staircase. we brought him for lunch at macs and watched him while he did his maths homework. after much nagging from my aunt, we went to the taxi-stand. keong brought me the doctor first thing we sent marcus home. after the consultation, he sent me home and made me porridge.now, i’m sitting on my bed. cuzy just came back. she worked late tonight so i thought i'll be nice and help her put in her blanket covers, pillow covers and bolster cover. how nice of me right? =X anyway, its late and sick people have to sleep early.so, good nite!

It's labour day. keong and i spent the morning writing his appeal letter, with the help of my aunts and cathy. in the afternoon, we went to century to return the vcds. then we went to bugis. bought a big box of korean seaweed as instructed by my aunt. we didn't expect the box to be so huge. we decided to make the payment and leave the box in the shop for collection later.
meanwhile. there was some commotion just outside the shop that i thought was worth sharing, to have a good laugh. a china man had kicked a durain so hard, his feet was swollen and bleeding. the paramedics were cleaning up his wound when we walked past. we couldnt figure out why did he do that.
we walked to og albert. we were shopping around when i came upon the jacket that keong had always wanted. =)
