28th January 2012 - Saturday (8pm - 3.30am)
yay. and immediately after CNY gathering at Lisa's house, we quickly walked over to the bus stop opposite Shun An's house to meet him. and together with him, we travelled all the way from Telok Blangah to Pasir Ris.
what a long journey, just to have steamboat with the gang. haha. yea, anyway besides us, Ting Yu also called her other friends along to have steamboat dinner together.

GROUP PICTURE!!!
anyway, here comes the super long night out with my Epsilon members. hahah. yes, we left Ting Yu house quite late, at around 11.15pm. well, i sort of predicted that we have already missed the last train, just that i we were there to try our luck.
but damn the waiting time for bus 358 was so super long that when we reached Pasir Ris Interchange, we indeed missed the last train. we even missed the last bus 5 back to Bukit Merah Interchange.
since we totally have no other choices, i decided to jio the rest to take bus 58, a short cut/fastest way to Kaki Bukit, trying our luck whether can we catch the last bus 5. but nope, we missed it eventually!
and so, we ended up dropping at Eunos which i don't know where, alighted bus 58, and randomly take bus 93 to Eunos Interchange, met a good bus uncle who directed us to take night rider which will brought us back to Great World City. yes, and from there, Ginnette, Shun An, Xue Ni and me walked home from there. while Edmund took the bus all the way to his home.
YEAH... walked for 1.5 hours and reached home at 3.30am LOL. what a long and tiring night!!!

yeah.. Merry Christmas everyone. Joshua decided to organise a Christmas gift exchange and steamboat event over at his house during Christmas, all foods would be sponsored by his parent. how nice of them.
and so, since his parent don't allow us to pay anything, we decided to buy something up to his house, instead of going there empty-handed. random shop and we ended up buying a pre-packed cake in a box. yes, all of us have no idea how it looked like inside. nevermind, take it as a surprise. hahaha.

spamming pictures... or help in preparation?

cheers!!
finally, this time round, we have a bigger steamboat pot as compared to the previous time we had such a pathetic small pot. too bad, there's so limited of sausages and cheese tofu. so fast all finished already, left lots and lots of mushrooms. all kinds of mushrooms! haha

steamboat.
yay, and after eating. we have a christmas exchange programme. everyone was asked to bring a gift for christmas exchange. our budget line was only less than $10. we wrote down all our names and then everyone picked one slip each. i picked Moo's name and Audrey picked mine. sooooo, i received the gift from Moo and my gift was given to Audrey.
haha. i bought an organiser, just nice Audrey is still schooling, it's pretty useful to her rather than those who wasn't schooling. hah, like me! an organiser would be useless to me though. and Moo's gift was actually a pen and a fan. it's a fan pen. like so cool. use the pen for writing, half way can blow wind hahaha.

christmas gift exchange

we and our gifts

pair by pair. haha

all my received gifts that night

me and my gift xD
group photo =D
and Ting Yu came up with this very interesting game, playing with those troll face. we picked a slip and see what kind of face we chosen. all the face. and i got the FOREVER ALONE face. ahhhhh, i don't want be forever alone!! hahaah
all the face looked okay, but i think Edmund and Moo's one looked the most disturbing. haha. so ugly.

hahaha. funny faces

at first was sitting together.

and then, they said i'm FOREVER ALONE.
i should be away from them... a gap from them..

and now, they decided to isolate me and make me stand alone behind.
now i'm really FOREVER ALONE hahah.

and this is the mysterious cake inside that box. hah
well, after that we decided to start the Saboteur game. haha. this is the most fun game to play with when you have such big group of friend. haha.
and all the rounds, miner wins all!! poor Saboteur lost every single round.

all gold was dug out in the end.

last picture.
HOME SWEET HOME at 11pm!
and lastly.
MERRY CHRISTMASLabels: christmas, steamboat
woohoo!! a day to swim, to have steamboat and to celebrate the June babies birthday. Joshua volunteered to borrow out his house for us to held all activities there. yeah, we got to swim at his condo's swimming pool, got to have steamboat at his house too.
but yeah, of course we have to buy those ingredients and prepare for steamboat for tonight's dinner. shopping for whatever ingredients, foods, drinks, meats that we needed at the supermarket.
and it felt as if we were typical aunties looking the price tags, comparing for the cheapest prices. and we really bought hell lots of foods for tonight :D

choose choose!

all the items we bought!!
and yea, after that Joshua led the way and brought us to his house which was somewhere at Bukit Panjang. it's so far inside, such a long walk from Bukit Panjang Plaza. imagine all of us were carrying bags and bags of items.
anyway, his house was big. that should be the second time i went to his house. we placed those items accordingly. some inside fridge, some remain outside. and since we still have lots of time, we decided to play a few rounds of Saboteur first before proceeding down to the swimming pool
we managed to play a few rounds of Saboteur, and throughout all the rounds, i'm the Saboteur. hahaha. like so fun to be the Saboteur and sabo the miner.
playing Saboteur!

well, with 2 saboteurs and 3 miners
and whee!!! after that at around 3pm plus, time to proceed down to the pool for a short swim. in fact, was to play with water. we planned for a swimming days together, but in the end only 5 people jumped down to the pool, the rest back out with all sort of nonsense reason! hahaha.
anyway, the 5 of us just went ahead to swim. and we had quite a hard time taking picture as the security kept aiming at us. yah, we know we shouldn't take photo at the swimming pool. but then we still managed to do it sneakily, heh!
the part where we were at was pretty deep. it's around 1.8m deep. oh my god, so freaking deep. at least 30cm above my head when i stand on the ground.
a group photo of us!

getting ready to strip

whee whee. pant gone! haha
are you ready to swim!
down we go!
doing jump shot in the pool

clinging to one another
okay. we're done swimming!

Audrey looked like a lifeguard here lol
and with our wet and water dripping body, we went back up to Joshua house for shower. there's only 2 toilets and so the 5 of us have to take turn and bathe. haha the most kiasu me went to chop one toilet first.
while the rest outside started preparing for the foods. Edmund will be in-charge with all the frying stuffs, Audrey and Shu Hua to settle the washing and marinating parts and Xue Ni to cut those foods and placed them inside bowl or plate. the rest of us remained as flower pot. our job is DO NOTHING!
turned the fan to super speed to blow dry our hair
we want be flower pot can?!

Ting Yu the first to run far far away when the oil started to splatter
all busy at the kitchen.
finally, we were all done with the preparation part. time to clean up the mess in the kitchen and have a good steamboat dinner together. and wow, the pot at Joshua house was seriously S.M.A.L.L!!!!
in order to let everyone has something to eat after the foods were cooked, we have to dump the foods up to the brim every each round. and once the foods were cooked, everyone started fighting for those foods, like some kids sia. it was so fun together.
for the first time, we eat steamboat until so clean. no leftover foods remained inside the pot and let it cooked until it turned like some soggy foods because the pot is always cleared empty after every each round.

look at the spread of foods we had!!!
STEAMBOAT YO!~

group photo
10 people. that's a big group
after dinner, we helped to clear everything. keep the leftover foods, wash he bowls, clean the stove, wipe the table, mop the floor, etc. whatever we messed up one, we cleaned it back. and it's as good as before!
and up next, a surprise celebration for the June babies birthday. we presented out the cakes which we bought earlier on at dessert cup. yeah, a strawberry one for Shun An, a chocolate one for Shu Hua and a coffee one for Joshua.

the cakes!
the birthday people happily with their cakes
HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY, SHUN AN
HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY, SHU HUA
HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA
and their presents!!! hoh
a group photo together, heh!
and and and, we went back to play Saboteur after that, so addicted in playing until we have no choice but to stop playing at 11pm plus because we have to rush our last bus or last train home. and the most fun part was, combined from what we played this afternoon, we played a total of 8 rounds. and i am the ultimate SABOTEUR for 8 consecutive rounds. i don't know why, it's me, myself who choose the role card. and i keep on drawing the Saboteur card for 8 rounds!!! don't even have a chance to be a miner at all!
everyone has been targeting me as the Saboteur. Edmund straight away blocked me at the very start of the game, whether he know i am the saboteur anot, he just blocked it. LOL!~ it was indeed, a very fun game. being made the Saboteur throughout every single rounds, being attacked by the rest.... hahah, SO FUN yo!
too bad good things will come to an end. we left at around 11pm plus to chiong for last bus. i took 963 home together with Edmund, Ginnette, Shun An and Shu Hua. while the rest either take cab or train.
