looking backwards and forward

just a re-cap of my weekend:

Friday: went to camp out at esplanade to chope seats for the whole bunch of us to catch the pretty fireworks by team new caledonia (wth is tt country?) was lots of fun, fireworks were amazing (though i still liked team italy's one alot better) and even managed to catch up with jiaxin and ade's friend lifen. we adjourned to DXO after tt, ok lah, free entry and free drinks for ladies, so i'm not complaining, just wished tt ppl were more spontaneous and go dance on the dance floor, rather than hang around it waiting for someone to start the ball rolling. happy b'day jiaxin! hp u enjoyed it spending it with us cheapos who go unhappening places to drink free drinks! yun pass me the pics soon! tj gave me this lovely and sweet present. love it to bits. thank you dear!

Saturday: blading at noon, still arnd the same speed but i'm proud to note tt i didn't fall down this time! lazed arnd at tj's house then went to taka to eat Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken BBQ! yummy and way too much food! haha, i want to link it in this post, but blogger doesn't allow tt somehow, so just go "eat's all F.A.T.E" from the sidebar to check it out!

to whet your appetite


sunday: spent the afternoon at home watching tv, helping dad out, chatting with family etc. went serangoon garden market to buy 100 sticks of katong satay (i swear this is MUCH better than city satay, the gravy is so yummy and comes with lots of peanuts!) then we proceeded to tj's house for a gathering, his parents old friends were back from England, a Duke Lieutanent (one ranking lower than Lord)! haha i know royalty! and the family tt took care of tj when he was in Calgary also came. to celebrate the arrival of royalty, auntie xiang lian made this super yummilicious laksa! she made the laksa gravy, fish balls and fish cake from scratch! fantastic i tell u, no wonder she doesn't like to go outside to eat. too bad i dun have any pics of it to post. and as usual there was popiah and too much food, so i tabao alot home. haha. why? cos my fridge got more space than tj's house.

week ahead: won't be seeing me on msn much, cos i'm on orientation the whole of the next two weeks, just going arnd various locations/depts to hear them talk abt themselves and learn more abt the organisation as a whole. interesting to meet so many ppl but i swear it's more draining than actually working. tj's going to china sometime on wednesday. flight and all not confirmed yet, but his boss is adamant so i guess yah he's going. he's not gonna be arnd for our 2nd year anniv though =( but gotta get used to not having him arnd le. and be strong. for him and for me.
