I'm in the staffroom now. The colleague who has two very cute kids but talks to himself is sitting behind me facing the screen. It makes me feel awkward. Never mind, my back is facing him so I shall just ignore him and do as I please.
I love Chinese New Year! :) :) :) why oh why do visitation holidays only last for two days. I haven't uploaded crazy cousin pictures yet, nor have I grabbed friend-party photos from anyone else. Shall do so soon (hopefully).
Anyway, Nalli came over to my place on the first day. She really likes my cousins, Shaun especially. After dinner, all of us congregated in my room and talked and laughed and shrieked at the top of our voices as we always do. Daniel shared stories of how he goes around IJC terrorising the J1s by drooling from the mouth and pretending to be some sort of maniacal retard. At the end of it, when we were driving her back, I asked what she thought of my beloved relatives. She said, "they're weirder than you" and I don't suppose she meant it as a compliment. Ha ha.
I visited Sheryl (Ann) Lee on the 2nd day! :D Her house is cool, and her sisters are so cute. Michael was there too, and I brought Tasha, and we played uhm. Sardines. Which is kind of like hide-and-seek, except only one person hides while everyone else looks for him/her. And once you find the hider? you squeeze into the hiding place with him/her, hence the name of the game. It was my idea heh. And though her mom chased us back into the room, it was fun while it lasted. Her dad's really really nice :D also visited Xizhen and Bev. This is the first time I've visited friends on CNY! How sad is that.
Also, I discovered that Catherine? Katherine? Lim has relatives who live two or three doors away from me. I saw her walking to her car which was parked in front of ours. It just occurred to me, though, if it's the house two doors away from ours, then she was visiting Hansen or whatever his name is, the ACS (IB) former ACSI vice-head prefect a year below us.
Scratch the surface and you will find that we are all connected in a thousand different ways.

I attended Chek's grandmother's wake last night, along with Darren Ethel Shaun Bev Barry Alvinmun Alaric and, of course, Chek himself. It wasn't all that solemn, which is characteristic of an elderly's wake. It was hard, though, watching the relatives grieve and hearing their sobs. It's that sense of helplessness that gets you, knowing that your friends are hurting but there's nothing you can do to help except be there. Sometimes, also, you can't help but feel as though you're intruding on their right to mourn.
It's amazing, if you think about it- my eldest cousin on my mother's side is nearing thirty. On my dad's side, Hannah is already twenty-three. It's crazy how we've all grown up so fast, from the adorable hyperactive children we used to be (yes we were DEFINITELY adorable. Old photographs and videotapes attest to that). Yet all four of my grandparents are still alive. It's something I thank God for. I can't help but wonder, though, how I'm going to feel when it's their turn. |

Okay so I was talking to Xizhen online, oohing and aahing over his baby picture (actually we met sometime in nanyang kindergarten, because I acted as the mouse in the Lion and the Mouse and he was the lion but we don't remember one another) and he asked to see mine, so I spent a while looking through my baby picture albums and found THIS.
Hannah, please don't die.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA
HANNAH LOOKS LIKE DANIEL |

If you read my journal regularly/ can be bothered to scroll down a few entries, you'll know that I recently put up this photoblog featuring my extended family on my grandfather's birthday. And you'll know that among them is my 22-year-old cousin who looks like a 12-yr-old. Her name's Hannah, and she's great, probably one of the most unforgettable characters to have inhabited Singapore- heck, make that Planet Earth.
Anyway, Hannah got attached recently, to a boy (whom I am sure is very nice. Maybe i should say man, not boy, seeing he's above twenty) named Belmont. My sister Isabelle told me this over the phone yesterday, at which I spent about five minutes laughing and then rushed to the computer to send an online message to my beloved cousin. This is how the conversation went, somewhat.
Me: hey!
Me: did I tell you that I got attached?
Hannah: OMG NO NO NO YOU DIDN'T
Hannah: TELL ME ABOUT IT
Hannah: IS HE NICE?
Hannah: He'd better be or I'll kill him!
Me: hahaha
Me: he's really nice
Me: his name's Bukit Timah
Me: I think you me Buks and Belmont should all go on a double date someday
Hannah: ...
Hannah: omg
Hannah: HAHAHHAA
Me: hahaha sorry
Me: Belle told me his name and I just couldn't resist
Hannah: so you're not really attached
Me: no
Me: haha sorry
Me: when I am I'll tell you all about it! :D
Hannah: yeah you better!
Hannah: omg my mom's laughing
hahahaha. |

A few weeks ago, I went to get my hair cut in Orchard Road and managed to run out for about five minutes to get a few shots of Dali's work!! I only got Space Woman and the melting clock though ):
No prizes for guessing which this is! It doesn't look much like a melting clock, does it?
I just thought of something. Don't Vernetta Lopez, Mark Richmond and Beatrice Chia remind you of Brangelina and Jennifer Aniston? Jennifer=Lopez (haha geddit geddit)= kooky lovable girl-next-door, Beatrice Chia=Angelina Jolie=tall sexed-up large-boned third party and Mark Richmond=Brad Pitt=male. My oh my.
Last night was my grandfather's birthday party, and we took lots of pictures!
Tasha and Grandpa
Daddy and I
My mother and I... is it just me, or do I look like Isabelle here?
Everybardeee now
sing song sing song
My grandfather looks a bit uncharastically happy. I think he was drunk.
Yup he was.
My grandmother... I Told her I was taking a picture of us, but well.
This is Hannah. Guess how old this girl is. Just make a guess. Answer at the bottom of the page.
My daddy and his siblings decided to be exclusive and kick their [in this case only] wives and kids out of the picture. Wives as in, my dad's wife and my uncle's wife.. yeah you get it.
Sharon was pretending to be Angelina Jolie, hence the screwy lips, Glenn was pretending to be Brad Pitt hence the cheekopek stare, and I was poor spurned Aniston, hence the... yeah.
Disclaimer: no, I was not drunk.
[Nearly] all the cousins. Sorry guys, but the hot chick in white is taken. And this is your last chance to guess how old Hannah is!
The cousins always have so much fun during reunions :D
Oh, and she's twenty-two. Hahaha. |
