my mini gallery (for the first time around)

Hello guys... for those whom like to take a peep at how I celebrate the mid-autmn... here's a picture (look, my neighbours are doing my way too!! And don't worry, we are careful, won't cause a fire...). Oh by the way, I'm too engrossed with the mooncake eating that I didn't even remember to snap a picture!

A sinful dessert I just had... Marshmallow brownie topped with vanilla (plus nuts) ice cream. I swear I won't have another one for months... It has satisfied my sweet tooth and will be for a long long time. Gosh!!

A picture taken on my birthday by my friend with a polaroid! Color adjusted... mmmm the color seems to be fading after the film isn't used for a long time.

Celebrate with me lah!

There comes my Singlish again - see??

Anyway this year, due to the double "7th month" in our chinese calendar, the Mid-Autumn festival (or the Singaporeans like to call it the "Lantern or Mooncake festival" is delayed till a day before my birthday. So everyone seems to be celebrating it with me!

I love a lot of our chinese festivals, especially when it meant that food is accompanying them. Like the Chinese new year & "Ba Kua" (barbequed meat), Dragon boat with rice dumpling, Mid-Autumn with mooncakes and Winter Solstice festival with "tang yuan" (glutinous rice flour balls). Okay, back to our topic before I get further and further (when it comes to food... oh no...).

Thank you my friends for the early greetings... some of whom I did not expect from. Not a lot of people know of my birthday and especially me being another woman whom rather not reveal my age unless required! Low profile birthday, lol, in fact I didn't hold celebration most of the time... only when I was much younger, my parents would buy me a cake and do a small party at my grandma's. All the kids like me would be excited over it...

BS, thanks for the book (maybe it will come in handy in my next travel trip;)); thanks to my sisters for forking out/chipping in for the things I like (yes, that was how Tommy came about 2 years ago - my sister mailed it to London!); thanks to my girlies too!

For now, I shall sign off wishing everyone a happy time during this lantern/ mooncake/ Mid-Autumn festival!! Tip: Drink some chinese tea (especially green tea) to get off the excessive oil!! Sigh, time to get fat, lit lanterns, burn candles... and light up my corridor!!

Yea, don't remind me, I know I'm another year older... tomorrow!!


P/S: Singapore Pools is also celebrating with its $5 million prize money for Mid-Autumn's TOTO tonight!! :))))

Have a break, have a tic tac

I don't like Kit Kat so muchhh.....

I didn't end up buying the yam mooncake, I couldn't find them. ALL SOLD OUT. Just get on my nerves these last minute shoppings, it never went well for something like that. Anyhow I replaced them with 5 mini tubs of Ben & Jerry ice creams, enough for all. Fortunately, they made up for it.

Mid autumn [mooncake festival] this year wasn't as exciting. It could be the lousy weather, the rain that spolit the atmosphere. Or could be myself?! I made a [simple] wish with all the candles I lit up the last mid autumn, it came true. I should be thankful or in a way give myself a kiss because I made the effort. This year, I wish for nothing... I want it to be over with my mind at peace. It felt good and I slept well.

Months of hard work, I pity my eyes for being tortured by these computer screens. Time to give it a break, I had my coming Monday OFF, yippee!!! I want to jump like a kid, thumping the ground with my elephant legs!!! I want a candy. I should buy myself some sweets.

So many plans [or is it "much"?!?!] for the lovely Saturday & Sunday. A booze. The beach. Long-time no-see friend. Volleyball [finally]. My mates. Dancing. A swim. DVDs. Aww, I can't wait. Have a nice weekend too.

Light up a lantern & run like a kid

Sometimes I think my lil sister is cute... she's 17, but she still is.

She texted me, "Hey, i got e lanterns n a box of candles!! Remember to come home early to play!" It's not silly, at least it makes me smile amid doing all my work.

Now, I'm so hungry for some mooncake. Durian one especially. And where's my yam... I think I've to go and buy some!!
