HAPPY BIRTHDAY E-E-OLGA! today is my aunt's birthday. i was collecting ice cream from her when she drove by AND I FORGOTT TO WISH HER OR EVEN MENTION IT! i was like, oh. hi. thanks. bye! then i went upstairs and remembered and i was like, OH CRAPpppp. anyways, i smsed her and i know it's a really lousy way to wish someone you just saw, but oh well. she never forgets my birthday, and any occasion pertaining to me as a matter of fact. she's a great aunt, not only cause she gives me gifts and speaks french [chuckles], but because she's always there for me. i'd like to say she doesn't spoil me, ahem, she .. enriches my life [lol] to the best of her abilities , with love, care, and stuff. that doesn't come round often, other than from my parents. what's more, she's dang hip! have a great birthday, e-e. thank you for everything. :))

there wasn't anth new at reunion dinner this year. same old thing, people commenting how tall i am and how skinny i am and then they'll ask me about homeschooling. i can almost prepare a script in order of topic for the whole evening. spent a few hours at ah ma's house and went to visit someone living nearby-- uncle steven, his family, and his parents. it was nice to see zachary again. think it's been.. 2 years? 3? anyways, we were once again commeded with,"wow you guys have shot up" or smth to tt effect. somehow i manage to be taller than people my age most of the time. skinnier too. i count it as a blessing and a curse. people have a common saying that i can be blown away by a slight wind and i think i believe them.

yesterday after church we headed home and i managed to nap for like, half an hour? went to ah ma's house again and spent another hour or so there. then we proceeded to my aunt's house where everyone was gathered. i have quite a huge family on my dad's side cause my dad's father had three wives. i have three ah mas and a whole bunch of aunts whu sound the the same when they laugh. it's abit scary. when i hear THE laugh i picture hens. i was very antisocial there and instead of talking to my cousins, whom i have never talked to in my entire life, not even hi, even tho i see them every year, i ended up talking to my uncle. singular. one uncle only. occasionally i'd talk to some aunts. in the end, my sole companion there was max. he is a dog. throughout the whole day i was msg-ing zachary whom i had just reunited with the day before. that activity subsided my boredom quite alot.

tooday i'm gonna visit a few people. hopefully tooday will be a good day. i need to put on weight.

HLC had this CNY celebration thing so i just joined in and helped out yesterday morning. michelle was really funny and she and i just kept laughing the whole time. um. don't wanna say why lah. heh. qite embarrassing. anyways, i had a great morning there helping children make lanterns and stuff. i'm so caring, aren't i? while i was in the bus heading home i called michelle's HP and they passed it around, just for fun since i was really bored. finally some really mean person passed it into the hands of Mr. maurice. *augh* i am so polite lorh altho i ddnt wanna talk to him at all i just pretended to listen to whad he was babbling abt. bbrr.
when i came home i got the news that my previous church friend's mom had passed on due to cancer. i haven't seen my friend and his brother for like, 5 years so we're quite distant. went for the funeral service in the evening. it was good to see them, but it's sad we had to meet up this way. hey he recognized me and called my name lorh! i was surprised. felt real sad at thru the funeral. could only wonder how they all felt, someone so close leaving them.
met some other friends i haven't seen in a long time there. THEY'RE ALL SO BIG! the last time i saw them we were still playing catching and x'mas plays and stuff.. man. was nice to see them again. of course i was once again interrogated abt homeschooling, but hey, the more to talk abt the better. heh. at first tim was standing around like some millitary soldier with his arms folded, then i was like, loosen up lahh. he kind of did in the end. ha.

badminton was funny.. everyone was laughing most of the time. heee. i injured my brother a few times, but of course, it was unintentional. *winks* as usual, maurice was gah gah irritating. why is he so irritating? maurice, pleeese stop being so irritating. michelle seems quite pro to me *envious face* and sher kinda lost touch with the game.
watched the sunrise yesterday at changi beach. it rises everyday so it's no big deal, but from changi you can see the sun, as in, sun sun. like the ball of sun itself. ok forget it. it was fun anways.. couple of crazies waddling to the beach at 6 am squeezing into this mini mat on the shore staring into the sky waiting for smth, and screaming out airlines whenever a plane passed. [we were guessing which airline each plane was frm. =D stupid rite?] i was gonna head home aft tt but decided to follow sher to see some scouts swim. it sounds sick when i say it. ahem.. we went to see some.. swimming scouts. it was ohkay lah, but it was so darn hot i wanted to jump into the pool myself. went to sher's hse aft tt. went to wtc aft tt. went to megan's hse aft tt. went out with sher aft tt [again] and went home. i felt guilty i ddn't see my mom off to work. =( but, oh wells.
today was boring. went to church and went straight home. forgot to do the assignment thing for today and ended up mumbling away like some idiot. *pouts* i also got free lip gloss today. the end. [getting bored of typing]

tooday was funn! learned how to say Genesis 1:1-2 in frenchee! YEAYY!! ohkay that's about all that's been exciting for me t'day. is that good or bad? HM.
right. this week's been boring week and there's the badminton thing tmr so i'm all hyped up 'bout it. :D don't know why i like playing the sport so much.. for the most part i'm lousy beyond hope and i'm giggling and laughing and screaming and clashing rackets with the good players 95% of de time. oh wells. I LIKE ITT! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!! hehhhh..
oh yah, today my parents were cooking achar [yeahh baybeh.. bring it onn.] and the rempah thing they made smelled so bad cause there was so much vinegar and the smell was S000 overwhelming so i made a STUPID decision to clip up my nose with a peg. a CLOTHES peg. yeah man. stupid rite? darnit. *pouts* anyways i got a very red nose ofter that with two very very prominent clip marks on each nostril. [stop laughing. i'm so not laughing lorrr.] [OEI STOP LAUGHING LAH!]

TOODAY!:
carol and my able-to-speak-french aunt brought my granny out THE WHOLE DAY. was kind of a family outing. first carol n my mom brought granny to polyclinic to have checkup done. then aunt got ankle xrayed cause it hurt quite bad. went to have lunch at EAST COAST!! i went around tables picking on ppl's food cause everything looked so goooood. gosh, there was mutton soup, o-lua, wanton mee, satay [lots of it], LAKSA, and uh.. ohkay that's it. it relly seemed like alot of stuff lorhh. anyways, i got myself all bloaty. =D sat around near the beach. tim and carol n i went to investigate some big sandcastles and tim took some photos [instinctively.]. [there was this guy in trunks and i was quite afraid tim got tt in the shot too.. the trunk-guy was also investigating the crummy castles.] after relaxing and unbloating abit we hopped back into the cars and went for a spin around the joo chiat areas. my mom and family lived there for quite some time so it smells like home to them. i absolutely love the old architecture there.. so peranakan!! saw the old red bakery which is appearantly very famous. saw lots of old, peranakan tiles lining the old houses. i even got to go back to my grandfather's OLD house which has been totally rerenovated, sadly. carol and tim and i then made a trip to the nurseries in thompson. had fun there finding far east flora and freezing ourselves stiff in the cold room. hee. in the end carol bought two dozen roses for $7+. good buy! :) she gave them to my granny. awww. we came back home and had some tea [so cultured rite?] and so we ended our day. uh.. the end.

i know i'm really inconsistent in updating, but whadever. heh. spent new year's day at watchnite and church so there's nth much to write about. school's started and the 2006 kicked off quite awkwardly. usually new years start quite smoothly and everyone's kinda floaty for the first month or so, but not for me. 2006's been rough ever since it started. i think the rest of january will suck big time for me. oh wells. D:
so whad else has happened this year, umm.. oh yeah. my hamster gave birth again! 5 lil pieces of red.. wriggly matter. let's see, in all i have 11 hamsters now. anybody want one? lelong! 1 for $10! got discount!
