shiruitang.blogspot.com: January 2014

If you follow my instagram you would have seen this picture I posted! It actually consists of 9 collage put together again as another collage so I shall do a summary of 2013 using these photos! Of course I think it doesn't summaries every single thing that happened but at least the major ones would be found here in the pictures!

I shall talk about each individual picture so as to sort of describe the events that happened in 2013.

1- this picture was taken during CNY and if I never rmb wrongly, we met during the night of the 2nd day of CNY. Hahaha, and I think we went giant to buy some snacks and went some ulu street near Sembawang shopping centre to eat! That street is really ulu and dark but we were taking Polaroids and pictures there hahaha! And to imagine that we 3 girls went to that kind of dark and ulu place at like 11pm at night is really crazy! Hahaha, I also don't know why we ended up there but I guess we just don't know where to go at that time!

2-I forgot when was this picture taken hahaha, but it's during one of the times where we just decided to meet up randomly after not meeting up for very long! I just remember we were eating ice cream and chatted for awhile then we decided to go home.

To conclude, 2013 was really kind to me, allowing me to go back school to study, having blessed with new friends I meet in school, being able to have a second chance is never easy.... Also, I really thankful for old friends being able to stay in my life despite all the changes in life we meet and thankful for my family being happy and healthy! Hopefully 2014 would be a better better year!!!!

Finally off day today for me! But I still woke up early to accompany my mum and grandma to the market! And I grandma really bought a lot of stuff! It's like she don't go market then don't go for very long, but when you does it once in awhile, she has so many things to buy that me and my mum really carry until damn tired one... But lucky today we bought two trolley hahaha, but still even two trolley also not enough for my grandma loh! So currently I just got back home from my grandma house and am feeling abit hungry. I'm laying on my bed and I should really go complete the 2013 post that I drafted hahaha! Before that, shall update on 2014...

On Wednesday I was supposed to go eat Korean BBQ with my bro and mum! But then my brother pangseh us cos he ate too much xiao long bao the day before from the XLB buffet until his stomach cannot take it! So me and mum decided to go DTF and eat XLB without my brother!

This is the Shanghai drunk chicken hahaha, direct translate from Chinese. It's actually cold chicken with a tinge of wine taste in it, it's quite refreshing as an appetizer! Also, the texture of the chicken meat is very nice!

And then we also ordered this new product! The Peking smoked duck wrapped in the popiah skin! It's very niceeee cos they fry this dish until the perfect crispiness and the smoked dick very nice also!

Then of course we ordered XLB, 10 with crab meat and 10 normal ones. I find both very nice but my mum preferred the one with crab meat cos she say the soup taste nicer.

We also ordered fried rice with prawns!

And I really feel like there's a difference between the DTF in town area and the ones at bishan or nex! Cos the ones in town area the food taste nicer!

So after shopping around suntec, we decided to walk to bugis and then we shopped around bugis for awhile then we took 857 home!

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Then just yesterday, I went to meetup with my secondary school girlfriends! We went to the park near Yishun park and talked for so long like from 8 plus to 11 plus! Then after that we went to meet chunkit for awhile then we went home! It's nice meeting up with old friends and I can't wait for 25th jan!

Hahaha epic moment when taking picture cos there was actually this light shining at us so I was saying ' wahhh why so bright! ' then the next moment the lift went off! Like seriously epic! So have to resort to using our own light from Yiqian's phone! Not bad right, still can take photo in the dark!

Anyway it's nice talking to them about old stuffs and along the way finding out new stuffs about the past or remembering something from the past! Can't believe it's been more than 3 years since we graduated from secondary school but yet we still have so much of it to talk about :)

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Gonna go continue with my 2013 post! Be back again soonnnnnn, byeeeeee,

My terrapins say byeeeeee to you~~
