HAPPY BELATED BDAY KIYOKO!

Summer 2010

Forgotten snapshots of life aka some things I’ve done over the summer..

Met REAL DESPICABLE ME MINIONS (+ got free stickers!)

Was a fascinated tourist in my own country + met an old friend from Berkeley.

Had lotsa random rojak meetings of friends that I love <3

Saw two friends of my uni years graduate :)

Been attending YACG.

Cut my hair short again.

Sat in the middle of the road/outside a house while KOI disintegrated my stomach.

Rapped in a band.

A huge part of my summer has also been going out with girlfriends for weekly dinners + spontaneous suppers with Mike & Nat.. and soon all this shall come to an end.

And now. MY FINAL YEAR IN UNIVERSITY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. I never thought I’d see the day.

A day in the life

Yesterday we spent a day in the life of a tourist, visiting the new addition to our island’s cityscape.

All photos courtesy of Quen. Please fall prostrate at his feet now.

The four of us had the privilege of witnessing this amazing view of this little red dot, and what better time to do it than a month before National Day :) Four of us = Quen, Jiwon, Tarnia and I – probably one of the most randomest combination of people yet. But I sekretly love random small groups which are Not Awkward. Its like finding a new combination to a puzzle. Random church chatting @ Beanstro ftw.

I will not damage the beauty of this post with my rambling (I will do another with MORE RANDOM PHOTOS of this day) but one last thing -

Bright lights shine on the street at night, guiding me closer to home.

DEAR JOHN DAY

This was the day of DEAR JOHN.

Andrew is taking the photo cos he refused to be depicted as ULTRA pimping out, which he evidently was doing that night.

Honest letters

A POST DEDICATED TO THE MOST HONEST MAN I KNOW

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (HL) MAN.

:)

Before I left for Berkeley (Jan 09)/ At GBC’S 50th Anniversary (Aug 09)/ At The Church Picnick (Dec 09)

Looking at these series of  photos, the thing that stands out to me is.. HAIR.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE EVOLUTION OF

1. MY HAIR

2. TARNIA’S HAIR

and 3. the Consistency of Kiyoko’s hair. HAHAHAHA.

I’m quite fascinated. BUT I DIGRESS. This was supposed to be a post for Honest Man’s birthday hahaha so anyway – I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE HONEST LETTERS & MORE HONEST CONVERSATIONS. And honest laughter. Honesty is the best policy!

xoxo

There are more pics in my camera that I haven’t uploaded but these are some that’re up on fb already! NYE was kinda different this year – I ended up spending a longer time than usual at Xz’s house with the AC gang. Which I really appreciated because I haven’t seen everyone in FOREVER and everyone is flaming me for not meeting up with them :(( Anyway we were up into the wee hours of the next morning, trawling the fb kingdom with dodgy activities that shall not be mentioned. But my 2010 new year resolution was birthed in those 2-3 hours of crowding over the computer screen in Xz’s room :)

I’ve been having an EPIK FIRST WEEK OF 2010 and I’m totally loving it other than the fact that I’M EATING WAY TOO MUCH AND I CAN FEEL ITS EFFECTS TAKING FORM ZOMG.

x

Also, I’ve somewhat concluded that I’m pretty sick and tired of people thinking that I don’t have a breaking point. I can choose to not put up with it anymore, and I will.

I remember Matilda and I talking about it before: Toxic friends. They bring you down, not build you up.

My December

In the past week,

I went for Youth Camp 2009 :)

Spent the last night making up Disney character names for everyone,

adopted a Pocahontas (SQUIRRELS!) and an ELI-SA-BETH along the way,

and spent the rest of the night Karaokae-ing away to Kpop & Taylor Swift till 7am.

Went for a massive churchie picknick at Botanical Gardens,

finally met HLMAN! (and his random Nigerian friend)

did the Taec-Chansung rap in the HEARTBEAT MV. HAHA.

Baked myself a Nichkhun with beanie,

also baked myself an Evangeline, a christmas tree, and a boyfriend.

Listening to Princess & the Frog OST. MA BELLE EVANGELINE <3333 Strangely I am craving to listen to some S CLUB 7. OLD SCHOOL.

IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE.

2PM GINGERBREAD

The afternoon at Tarnia’s..

Yes, those are 2pm gingerbread men (we even included JYP!).

I am extremely proud of my Nichkhun, which comes complete with that colourful beanie that he always wears (ITS SO CUTE ZOMG)

:)

Cross-process

Tarnia’s film from once upon a time:

I love being young, feeling young, doing youthful things :)

x

Tonight Nat, Seah and I hit the Burger Shack & Island Cremery where we had way too  much Pingpongmilo, Seah issued his 3 golden lines of the night (MISTER HOOPER FTW), and we laughed way too much way too loudly.

Pete came to join us then we vroom-vroomed to law campus to join the lawless Miche & Cheryl (yeah ok, failed pun). Abused the law computers to watch youtube videos of hedgehogs squirming in water, sleeping babies and expose the R theory on facebook.

Nice :)

In other news, my hair is gone. It is going to take forever to grow back and therefore I have to really  work with whatever I have left of it. Hahaha. YJ has a serious short hair fetish so at the very least I made him a really happy man today :)

TARNIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARNIA.

The act young day :)

Tobaye baked this really awesome cake, topped with icing and fruit loops.

We played I Never & Rhyming lines & a chinese word game so that we could finish the entire cake.. WOW I’m surprised we actually did :O

As a result, I have WAY TOO MUCH cake lodged in my stomach as of now. It made slightly woozy halfway during service.

x

For half an hour or so I was on livestreaming in the I-house game room, watching a Karaoke session go on in the dark with Yong, Jiwon & friends, inclusive of Quen on the guitar.

:)

I just realised I have heaps of work to do by TOMORROW MORNING zomg and its already 6pm. But I desperately need a nap and thats what I am going to do after I post this. Full speed ahead tonight!

JONNAYE

HAPPY TWO-OH JONNAYE.

The day has finally come that you can no longer point at me and laugh at my loss of youth. Now that you are almost an oldie, here’s to more Starbucks in Singapore and Crepes in San Francisco.

P.S. I want that moehawk back someday.

GBC 50TH ANNIVERSARY: The bash

Our formal celebration of our church’s 50th jubilee year at Meritus Mandarin :) Here are a few snaps to summarize the different components of the afternoon..

These are us, the receptionists, and our trying-to-look-important-when-we-actually-have-nothing-much-to-do-photos.

These, are the CRASH-THE-RECEPTIONIST-TABLE-AND-TAKE-PHOTOS girls :)

Note: Clubbers paradise photo in second row & sunglass weirdness photo in third row.

These, are the usherers-who-stand-around-and-look-like-paikias, as well as the brothers-who-just-come-to-eat-lunch.

These, are the actual 800+ members of the entire church who turned up to have a free lunch :) HAHA jokes.. just kidding.

This is the WCG girls table! Note the chaotic candid expressions. I love how Auntie Aitho is captured in the last photo trying to dodge from the shot. Haha!

And this, a series of unfortunate events.

1. Jon with too much foundation on (he was in a skit) and doing one of his weird facemelting movements which in this case proved fatalistic and something he will eternally regret.
2. A failed GM-HL photo because POONETH crashed it. HAHA.
3. J is for Jaebum and N is for Nichkhun! But my N is inverted :(
4. Poor photographers subject to the various shoving of cameras and “EH HELP ME TAKE PHOTO!!” demands.
5. Brothers with premature beer bellies.
6. A lost friend found! (Ok this is not an unfortunate event).

And our last series of photos shall be entitled, Who will Gideon choose? In this series, we explore how Gideon, the drunkard groom, wakes up to find that he has left behind a trail of white flowers to four different girls, of which appear the next morning seeking his acceptance and hand of marriage. Who will he choose? Stay tuned to find out!

(To explain the other photos in the series: o yes, I am the bridesmaid of course and the boys are the best men.)

Why hello.

Why hello there.

According to Jon, that is what my face is conveying in this GMJ polaroid. This was taken a looong while back, at our Sentosa Sun Sea Skype GBC youth expedition. Good times, good times. I confess that this morning I was too lazy to wake up at a godforsaken hour to meet the rest of the NUS gang in an ulu mrt station so that we could troop down to the Mandai Zoo. I mean, I love the zoo; I think the Singapore zoo is one of the best (even after going to the San Diego WORLD FAMOUS ZOO!) but I would also very much prefer my bed of comfort and an airconditioned ride.. yeah not happening. Sorry guys :(

Instead, I have decided that today is Job Hunt day. It’s only like what – 2 plus weeks till school starts? But firstly I am too idle, secondly I need my extra cash because I am practically living off my scholarship money and it is dimishing rapidly, and thirdly because my new motto for the semester is play less, work more, earn money the most. HAHAHA okay not quite, but something along the lines of study real hard and work to earn and save and be frugal at the same time. Yeah, usually my resolve runs out by the second week. But hey, new beginnings!
