CRUISE again??!?!?

Ello lovelies!

I'm back from my cruise trip with my parents and bro!!

Yea! You did not see it wrong, I board the cruise AGAIN!! LOL.. I did not share those trips before because it's nothing new and exciting for me. Hah.. Sound like a tai tai? But yea, truly there are nothing much exciting except some family time~

I began boarding the cruise when I were very very young?!?! During my primary school time? And thereafter the one or 2 trips later, my parents each are the members of Star Cruise. That explain why we board the cruise superbly often. Our cabins were F.O.C! Not really F.O.C but more like claimable from the points in my parents membership card. And those points were earned from their gambling~ =__=

So every time I told my GF that I'm cruising again.. They will give me that shocked look and say :
" NOT AGAIN?!?!"

We used to cruise a few times every year together, before my sister got married. My parents are worst, they used to travel weekly!! =O sibei crazy one!

We even board the sank Sun Vista before!!! 

Alright, enough of the the long winded history, I'm going to share some pictures I took during my cruise trip last Wednesday!

We depart Singapore on Wednesday night, towards Port Klang, Malaysia!

So the night we board the cruise......

 The bear haunting you down~

"WHOOOOOooooohhoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Trying to take some " look-far" artistic shots~

* Photo photo photo....*

After boarding, we had our dinner/supper and I must say, their standard DROPPED terribly!! Till the extend that I asked my dad a few times if they are going bankrupt soon? So disappointing one!

We went back to our cabins to "rest" after our meals, while waiting for the Casino to open! Since we board the cruise so often, there are nothing much for us to tour around~ LOL.... Nevertheless, we still enjoy ourselves as much in the CASINO!! LOL~  The Casino only opens when she is on the International Sea! and ITS 24 HOURS ONE!!! So gamblers could just stay overnight there! LOL... Normally it will open an hour after the cruise depart~

On the second day.......

we booked shopping tour to Midvalley mega mall in KL! *Shop Shop Shop....*

We've reached Port Klang Cruise Centre at about 2pm and we waited to depart for our individual tour! There are a few options to choose from on the tour you wanna go. From the tourist attractions to shopping tour! Each have their individual buses to bring you to the places that you've book beforehand.

As we've been there a few times,so we chose the shopping tour at Midvalley Mega Mall straightaway instead of the tourist attractions~

Us while waiting to depart~

The mall is super big! Its divided to a few sectors and we only manage to shop half of 1 sector! Crazy?!?!? and MEGA HUGE!!

Unfortunately, Its only a half day tour, we are only given about 2.5 hours to shop before we hopped on the bus back to our cruise. The bus journey took about 1.5 hours!! =(

But anyway, I still bought a few things within that short time frame~ and we bought a lot of tidbits!! *happy*

A photo before we board the cruise at Port Klang.

After dropping our loots, we went to have our dinner and once again,

WAITING FOR THE CASINO TO OPEN!!!! 

hahahahaha...

It's more like a trip being gamblers?!!?

But anyway, I chanced upon their event highlight the day before and I saw the MADNESS CHOCOLATE PARTY they are holding on the second night !! As a chocolate lover, I couldn't miss this chance! So I dragged the bear with me to check it out~ And we had chocolate buffet!!! WEEEEEEeeeee... happy me~

Lots of chocolate goodies!! Yum Yum!!

And then.... THE CASINO AGAIN!!! lol... Seriously, its really a trip to become gamblers for 3 days!

Because, the next morning after our breakfast,  ITS CASINO AGAIN!! and its the last "fight" before we depart!! LOL..

And that summarizes our gambling family trip for Good Friday!!

Lastly, I'm not a christian but I'll still like to wish everyone:

HAPPY EASTER DAY!!

Thank you for reading~

Attended my FIRST friend's wedding!!!!

Ello~

Alright, don't give me that " whuuuutttttttt?" look. I'm just so excited for my friend! And her's was the first wedding I attended!!

Not like I never attend wedding before, but its my FIRST "friend's" wedding I ever attend!!! It can be very very very exciting~

It also shows that we are entering next phrase of our life! *its a nicer way to say we grew older liao~* You will feel it when friends around you getting married or have kids!! Naturally, you will just feel happy for them! After all, its a happy celebration!

My Facebook wall will always flood with marriage or kids posts from friends that I'm not really close with and I'm just sooooooo JEALOUS!!! Because lao niang, IS NOT INVITED!!! I will still be happy for them though. LOL..

SO, finally I got my friend , Ting Yi's invite!!
So happy for her and her hubby, Idris, because they have been together since god damn long years!!

P.S: This is as usual a backdated post and the wedding actually happened end of last year! =/

It's not the normal Chinese wedding, because she was married to a Malay! But still, it's an experience!! And they definitely will be blissful!!

A total different wedding, compared to a Chinese wedding that I always attend with my family. We did not see her when we arrived and we will just help ourselves with the buffet spread.

We were served with obviously Malay food but no doubt, the food were delicious! And most importantly, she had a dessert buffet spread too!

MAD LOVE!!!
It was filled with fruits, sweets, cakes and traditional Malay / Nonya quey! It's indeed a paradise for sweet lovers like me who have sweet tooth every single hour!! =__=

Not just the food that I love, but her wedding decor too! Her wedding wasn't held at void decks that we always see but at a community center's function room~

Its in TIFFANY & OFF WHITE colour theme!!! OMG!!! tiffany colour is the next "in" colour please!

 and the aisle! It look so grand with the chandelier!! and I love the chairs!! I'm also looking for these chairs for my wedding ~ LOL...

After admiring the decors and with out filled stomach, the newly wed couple marched in!!

Seee~ She is so beautiful and sparkles!!!

and her long "train" !

So they will be seated on the stage like king and queen and the MCs spoke something in Malay which we don't understand. LOL.. until their relatives starts taking pictures with them, we very auntie lah, we went to queue right in front of them to take picture too! LOL...

Nice hor!

We did not stay any longer and we left after this as she was also busy being the "queen".
After all, it's a great experience and I'm really happy for her!

MAY BOTH OF THEM HAVE A  BLISSFUL MARRIAGE IN THEIR COMING LIVES

with lotsa babies!!!! 

I shall end my post here! And I'm so looking forward to more wedding invites from my friends!! =D

How did you celebrate halloween?

Hi people~
I can't wait any further to share my halloween celebration this year!

I love halloween though its only my 3rd year celebrating~
I love to see how people dressed up in interesting characters and its all so fun/scary/cute/weird/interesting looking!!!

Coincidentally, I DIY-ed all my costumes for these 3 years of halloween celebration!!
My very first year celebration, I dressed up like a walking dead~

With "head cracked" makeups.... and a very cheapo way of doing my "costume" ~

My 2nd year, I have a twin sister~ I think it looks a bit fail but......

... I still have a lot of fun~  Similarly, I sewed the kimono, more like a yukata ... and we are tied with a red rope~ LOL...


Did you notice any similarity in past 2 years?
FML TTM..... I'm ugly and face destroyed looking!!

SO........ this year, I went in a "prettier" look!!! BUT still dead...hahahaha.....

I'M A DEAD BRIDE with 2 dead bridesmaid ~

YEA~ very crazily I did my own tutu skirt, veil and my bouquet all within a week~ *crazy* But I love this look the most~ cause at least I'm still *ahem* P R E T T Y *ahem ahem* looking *ahem*...


So here are more photos during last Saturday celebration......

We actually planned to buttered.... and decided to go very early to queue...BUT as expected....we are late again...Luckily Edward (the weird looking ajuma) was early and we "managed" to queue quite in front...

SO after 4 hours, we are still STUCK IN THE SAME POSITION!!!! wtf......

Totally no mood.....


But while waiting, there are a few groups we spotted to be soooo cool and different~

The newer version of power rangers... *don't remember their title~ Xp *

They are having so much fun!! They just run around going " heee haaa..." to every group of people as if they are fighting the "monsters" LOL.. Damned CUTE!!!

They dressed up as kindergarten kids with the signature all kids must have water bottle!!! CUTE!!
Bring back lots memories too~
NOTE: Both are guys though...

Lastly, this group of chinese ghosts ~ celebrating the big day of a dead couple...
I tell you..... its damn real and scary!!!

They are parading a few times... with their bells and gongs.... scary beats followed by the dead "newly wed" sheltered with paper umbrella~ *goosebumps*

For those who do not know, paper umbrella is only for dead people... and during Chinese funerals, it is used to cover the dead~ so don't play play *a bit PCK tone*


But of cause there are whole lot more of people~ check out my FB to see....

* Back to story*
After waiting so long, we've decided to join Edward's friends to drink and this is where party begins!!!
We played drinking games... do not know whats the name... but yea...GAMES.. and its drinking games....LOL *blabbering nonsense again*

Drinking and partying always ended with a tiring cab waiting time~

And finally on my bed, which is already 6.30am?? *tiring and sleeping with blanket on my face*



So how did you celebrate yours?
and what did you dressed up as?

To end this post, I'm gonna show you guys some Edward's disturbing photos which stopped us from talking to him the entire night..not even looking at him...LOL

World Invasion:Battle Los Angeles * movie review*

Yesterday, met up with pipi and dede to visit OAKHAMMARKET and this is my first time been there. They sell quite alot of vintage stuff/clothings and all are at very affordable prices!! Nice and cheap!!!

Just beside it, there is a shop named kinki??? They also sell lotsa vintage stuff and POLAROIDS CAMERAS!!! not the modern types but the lao pok pok types~ *eyes sparkles*

From there i bought a purple Casio watch @$25 (X got the same one when he was very young and he got it at $25 too!! well the price did not drop!)



and we headed down town to catch World Invasion:Battle Los Angeles !!


I tell you, this movie is DOPE SHIT!!!!! Simply COOL~

MOVIE SYNOPSIS :
" For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before. "

*Watch the trailer below*

When the moment their ass are off their comfort zone to fight against those freaky aliens, there are simply no moments of rest!! Literately, I'm so on my guard for them. LOL~ the enemies is like 10 times stronger than mankind? and I've never so nervous while watching like a damned MOVIE??!?

At the back of my mind i know that they will succeed (movies are like that ALL THE TIME) but there will always "never ending" aliens especially their space ship!! IT'S BOMBASTIC!!!

I'm a very sentimental person..... This is a movie of sacrifices and i cried in some of their scenes~ this time round i will not be a bitch and spoil people mood. Good if you've watch it and understand which are the scenes i meant. For those who don't better CATCH IT NOW!!!

Hope you guys will like the movie as i DO!!!

Go Red For Women Picnic Day!!!

Thanks Nuffnang, was invited to join in the fighting against heart disease of Singapore Heart Foundation's GO RED FOR WOMEN PICNIC DAY!!

I asked my families along to the event and also to FLY KITE!!!

It was raining while we are on our way there. I was so sad and disheartened because i really want to fly the kite~

Luckily, there was tentage that was set up for the bands' performance, a few booths, health checks and FREE goodies bag!!! we walk around hunting and looking out for interesting stuff~



The heart health check booth where we get to check our blood pressure,weight,height,BMI and blah blah blah....


X testing his blood pressure but unfortunately, the thing that goes around his arm is toooo small for him..LOL and it "exploded" 3-4 times..Wahahahaha...


Face painting booth where we can get our face painted with lil, medium and big hearts!!!


The stage!!

To support this event, the dress code is RED but unfortunately, i don't have any but, we have our RED CUTTLEFISH to support!!!


TADA~ Cute right? i brought it when we are at Marina Barrage last year~


While waiting for the rain to stop, i spotted something PRO~


LOOK~ the PRO equipments!! Look at the size of the wheel of string for their kites...they even need a strap to carry when flying kite??!?!?! simply C R A Z Y~

Not long after, 太阳公公 finally shown up~

and people started to set up their picnic mats and fly their kites~


The stunt kites that don't require any wind to bring it up... *its the only kite that can be flown during that day...not even the experts' kite flown up~*


We are suppose to be able to witness the maiden flight of the largest kite to be flown in Singapore. BUT, after a few attempts, about 8 experts still cannot bring it up. Too bad~

However, the experts did not give up.


They set up a second biggest kite of the day to fly..... it is so huge that the supporting poles are about 2cm diameter!!! BUT still, after a few attempts, it failed......

Our cuttlefish also could not get it up too because there is no wind after the big rain~ so sad lah~ haiyo~

No rain liao but very big sun.... that.....

X and didi used our gigantic cuttlefish to block the sun~ obviously, NO USE~ LOL

The only cam whore picture of the entire day~ RARE~

About 5 plus 6, we decided to pack and leave as everything ended and its the last part of the day, LUCKY DRAW!!! we also did not quite look forward to as its the last top 3 prizes and i feel we have no luck.

Just when we decided to walk away, the emcee announced the second prize winner :" FU.....SI....YUN........" I thought for awhile before i realized that he is announcing sista's name!! LOL....and she just left like 5mins ago? X quickly nudge me and ask me go and take for her...wahahahaha...lucky her...

She won herself a CPR kit? , collagen supplements, face masks and $10 Frolick voucher!!!
and of course i get to have 50% of the prize too...hahaha....

After everything ended we drove back to Tampines for our dinner and decided to drive X's mum for a spin since we rented the car for that weekend....


We went up the mountain to JEWEL BOX!!!!

I simply love the place there including the toilet!!!! i remember my last birthday, X drive me and my gfs up there and we stayed in the toilet for at least 45mins? or an hour? just to cam whore~ wahahahahaha.... when we came out, our bfs' face turned so black~ wahahaha... but its still fun and nice~
