k i know i haven't blogged in too long and its really taking me ages to get this post started. I am a true blue procrastinator. I really really want to remember my 18th birthday though, considering how everything was awesome - the countdown the girls did, the dinners and lunches i had. after angie arrived we cabbed to dinner destination, Oomphatico's! Loved the ambience, and despite having a bad impression of fusion food because of my previous experience at Wild Rocket, i really loved the food this time!

for starters we had Pan Fried Chilli Garlic Calamari & Classic Caesar Salad. We more or less expected the usual round fried calamari rings to dip in mayo but what we were served was fantassssticcccc! (omg want to eat some nownow)

The other foods show Chermoula Crusted Seabass, "Livornese" - Seafood Stew, Grilled Crisp Skin Red Snapper, Seared Duck Breast with Duck Leg Confit Hash Cake. And for dessert the girls ordered That Expensive Chocolate Dessert and four really pretty cupcakes.



on the way to the room we also requested for ice cubes. specifically "more ice cubes" and this is what we got.

Oh yes so the girls were dropping me random numbers throughout the day and after we camwhored with the ice bucket (HA HA HA) they gave me my last number. They were apparently jumbled up and i had to slowly guess the combination.


i love the present girls! love you guys so much more! I'm really so glad to have met you guys this year and for me to have known Shuting so much better. The opening of Public has brought about pros and cons and one big Pro would definitely be working with you!

Did so many girl-sleepoever things before we finally went to bed at 5am? It was damn surprising we all managed to wake up to buy breakfast from macdonalds before checking out. I then accompanied Sophia and Shuting to Haji to work (THESE GIRLS ARE INSANE) i was so tired i got my mom to drive me home from there and they worked till 9pm?! Love them!

Oh and before i headed out for dinner, Cary and Jon managed to make their way here from Clementi in 9mins just to pass me my present! Cannot thank them enough!!!


headed to Jumbo @ East Coast later that night for a family birthday dinner. Yum yum yum to all the crabs and seafood we ate. I have no idea what to type regarding these two photos though. Oh! It was then that wern handed me a present from his mom and i felt really fuzzy wuzzy all over :)

Doorbell rang and my mom came running into my room at 11am. "Wern is here! Wern is here!". Hilarious way to wake, but i'm not complaining. Ate the breakfast he bought then we headed out to catch a movie. We then had this fabbbb udon from some jap fair in isetan and it was soooo good.


they were super generous with the wakame and it was hand made udon. We only spotted it because we just ate pepper lunch (around the corner) but it looked sooo good i couldn't resist!

I can't rmb what we did after, prolly walk around a lil before we ended up at Din Tai Fung.

Damn abrupt way to end the day but I have no more photos! This entry is flooded with photos as it is!

7 Sept 2009

Today finally saw the end of the non-stop celebration of my birthday (not that i was complaining) and I met the crew of Beat 3 in the morning for filming. My scene for that day was to be shot at Henderson Wave.


The shooting went pretty well, but it was only after that day that i mingled with the crew/cast more and got to know them better. Serene was always present every other day other than the henderson wave scene so i felt alot more at ease. Been quite an experience though, i must say.

took a long bus ride down to town to meet Rach and Yijie for sushi after! So much for the end of the non-stop celebrations!


Based on the recollection of the celebrations i have, I think i have the right to rant about my weight, yes? I am currently at the highest weight checkpoint of my life and i feel like crappppp. It's gross how i still eat so much since my birthday?

Oh, and i had wanted to blog about this. Remember how i mentioned my dad bought a Canon 50D? Apparently that's mine now. He also got me the Speedlight 580EX-II which i brought to work to test out quite some time ago. Pardon the lighting, it is a test afterall. Lighting for photog is so damn hard!!! I'm still trying to work on it now ):

And photobucket changes the colour tone of my photos?

Hype. One of the places where they distribute this publication is at my store and i could hardly recognise it when they were placed at the common area of the store when i was working that day. I suspected it when i picked up the double cover issue and when i flipped through, boy was i impressed.

Hype used to be a super amateurish looking school publication? I still remember the previous issue being a far jump from this! I had a friend who picked up the last issue and went errr, omg? but this is awesome. I never did think i'll think this way, but if hype is gna be looking like that, i wouldn't mind joining the team in Year 3. HAHAHHAA
