Lisi, Char, Clara, Sreyh and me booked place at Sha Villa on new year's eve so that we could have a little class gathering for those who could make it. It was soooo nice to see them girls again. I haven't really been contacting them for so long being away in oz and all but it felt so normal and nice again when we all met up, almost as if time froze between our JC days and now.
I enjoyed myself but was a little stoned out in the morning. haha. But it was still great fun.

Lisi and Char...

Char standing tall ...

I arrived in the pouring rain. Was utterly drenched.

Clara points to the tremendous amount snacks we had.

Tis not easy taking a decent 4 pple pic without someone else's help.

but we managed.

Char's shoes matched the balloons.

Char, Lisi and Clara waiting for me while i was in Robinson's fitting room trying on my burgundy front-clasp (which i bought fyi).

Then back to hotel to start preparing.

Lisi always looks so adorable. How kawaii.

At last the arrival of Jinhan and we get a group shot.

Sreyh was caught up but swung by in a jiffy.

Games ...

And a 5, 4 , 3, 2, 1 countdown to the New Years.

What a blast.

Ok so my gang and I (Rach, Mer, Shils, Denise, Jolyn) have been thinking about how to celebrate our 21st birthdays with Mer and me being away in oz, Denise busy with attachments, Rae and Shils with work and jolyn with all things else. So ... we came to an agreement to spend a night in some posh hotel with one another. Some quiet girlie time all to ourselves.

Rachel won 4th prize in some lucky draw dinner thingy and off we bounded to Grand Copthrone Waterfront (i wonder if this is the right spelling...) to spend the night in one anothers' arms.

It was just AMAZING. One of the funnest nights in my life.

Jolyn Denise and me

Rachel on the phone and Shils preparing our supper of instant noodles.

After filling our bellies, we decided to take some pictures.

While being normal and nicely posing at first, we moved onto a pillow fight.

Merleen's real vicious you know.

This picture speaks for itself. Jolyn bouncing up and down in front while we were pillow fighting at the back and of course, our STC (st theresa's convent) PE garb.

Snatching our presents.

Taking some bestest friends forever pictures.

And living by the true pink girlie oath.

Jolyn gave us a pretty flower hairtie each and we had a "what's-your-flower-style?" segment.

Ah ... tsk tsk ... amatuers ...

... Let the experts show you how its done.

After a game of Cadoo, it was time for us to get our beauty sleep.

And this marks our 21st bash.
FANTASTIC.

A little after Jingyi's 21st, i went to Zmin's ...
I think a great part about being 21 myself is going to the parties held by all my friends. My normally empty schedule book is (for once in my life) filled with numerous activities and i feel so happy looking at the different colours marking the different festivities (yes the simple joys of the socially handicapped).

Anyway, i was off to Zmin's and it was a nice comfy family affair held at the grandparent's huuuuge place. Food comprised of yum buffetty stuff and home cooked goodies. It was such a warm occassion. I met up with a few collegues and checked out the hottest guy at the party (fyi: He's the one in the orange top gnawing away).

A photo of some of my collegues...

Zmin and Moi!!

Zmin...

Hope you had a blast!

Loy, Adrian and I were off to Ancient Civilisations Museum on Boxing day to catch two films that were being screened to remember the tsunami tragedy that happened last year. The screenings were free and being the cheapos that we were, the three of us trudged down there just for a look see. I quite liked the films but the sounds were a tad loud at times, blasting my ears off.

But what was nice too was the old heritage trails of all things singaporean. Although im no nationalist, i looooove the little trinkets that were on display there. Those immensely peranakan things, the nice victorian garb brought in by English Ladies, chinese tiffin carriers and all the other smaller things. I kinda spoilt this fishy game for a bit (eek) but fortunately for me no one noticed and it was repaired in no time (heehee).

So anyway here i come on a bumbling boat, taking in the first sights of Old Singapore.

These figures they had on display were immensely well done in my opinion, i can just imagine the sheer amount of effort these people put into making their figures. Wow.

There was also such close attention to detail too. so admirable!!

Town planning with Adrian and Aloy.
