HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN, JIAEN A.K.A OUR DADDY! :D yeah, today's the sixteen of july. and exactly sixteen years ago on this day, i was having my one month celebration as a baby and jiaen was just outta her mom's stomach. LOL. erin analysed it and told me. if not i wouldn't have realised. anyway, it was a super exhausting day which drained almost our entire energy. there were three main components which landed us in that state. hokay. so the day started out with physical education. those who completed NAPHA could play any games they want. so we chose badminton. we then proceeded to the volleyball court to play and jiaen and vivian (daddy and mummy xD) came to join us after their NAPHA stations. so we were like versus-ing each other and we played til we were perspiring like hell. the back and front of my shirt were totally wet. and for the last ten minutes, we couldn't take it anymore and we resorted to hitting the shuttle cork everywhere and anywhere. my hair was so friggin' messy that i had to re-tie it during SS lesson. -.- that, i can hereby announce and conclude, was the wettest PE i've EVER HAD in secondary school. haha! well, it's a good thing. anyway, skip skip skip. as you can see, i'm trying to reduce the amount of words in this post, least some of you fail to make it to the end or something. haha. :P nah, kidding. so after school, our remedial lessons were cancelled but the literature people had lessons for an hour. erin, jiaen, vivian and claudia went for class while i went to find mr tan to ask him to teach me my tuition work. thereafter, i headed back to class and read my some of my classmates' essays secretly. it was an interesting and amusing experience. :) anyway, went up to the voicebox to find them and we returned to class to retrieve the about-to-be-recycled newspapers and plastic bottles. hokay. i carried the box of newspapers which resulted in the aching of my arm muscles. haha, i shan't rant on about how heavy it was. i'm strong you know. DUH! :D lol. anyway, we strolled all the way to the 159 bus stop where some embarrassing moments took place. both jiaen and claudia picked up plastic bottles on the floor when some people were staring. and i had no idea about where i should hide my face. bus 88 arrived and we boarded it. and i swear, i swear man, that this was the only time in my life up til now that so many pairs of eyes were scanning me as if i'm some offender who escaped from prison and was at the moment, at large. LOL. thereafter, we reached the AMK industrial place as the carrying of the newpapers continued to take a toil on my arms. after what seemed like an eternity, we arrived at our destination. was it 5862? it was sixteen kilograms in total excluding the plastic bottles. i ain't stating the amount that we got! haha. xP anyway, we managed to get out after jiaen started to get paranoid about stuff. LOL. skip skip skip. oh, and i was so exhausted afterwards that i uttered little amount of words while travelling to AMK hub. blah blah. the going of washroom and everything and we were finally in the shabushi restaurant where you could eat until you drop. xD so we entered, settled down (poor jiaen had to sit on the extra chair), and the waitress filled our pots with soup. actually, coming to think of it now, i was the first to touch the food (i drank the soup first) and the last to finish (they were at the counter and i was still trying to desperately to suck up the drink). from then onwards, different varieties of food were coming in mainly through erin and vivian as they were the nearest to the conveyor belt. at first we were careful not to spill when we were passing around the uncooked food and we took great care not to splash each other with hot soup when we were pouring food in. got our drinks and side dishes and we ordered sushi. ok, so anything starting from here onwards, i shall be nice as i'll write in point form. the truth is, i can't recall everything in sequence. whoops. so, here goes!

1) jiaen headed to the toilet two times and i thought she went to puke. hmmm... i wonder...

2) erin suggested a brilliant idea of creating jiaen's initial 'J' (we wanted to design a 'JE' but the plate was too small) and both of us proceeded to do so by using three different sushi, one udon, sliced crabmeat (not really sliced cuz we used our chopsticks to do the job) and three sotong to decorate it.

3) all of us became bloody high a while later after jiaen returned from her toilet trip.

4) when jiaen went to the washroom for the first time, someone suggested it was her birthday and thus, we should help her put food on her plate. we overdid it and when she came back, she was like 'thanks ah!' cuz her plate was piled high with food.

5) woots. this reminded me of the time when we had lunch at my house. as most of us didn't want the veggies, erin (the evil-est one, haha, awww, my bad!) directed jiaen's attention to the father's day card on the fridge. as it was written mostly in chinese, she was having some difficulty trying to decipher the meaning. while she was at it, all of us dumped our veggies on her plate and it appeared like a mountain. ROFL.

6) hokay. that was random. move on with life. haha.

7) erin and i failed to make jiaen a heart using udon noodles cuz we were too busy trying to complete the 'JE' decoration on the other plate.

8) halfway through the process of making the heart, erin splashed it with soy sauce and highly annoyed and disgusted vivian commented that it resembled a black heart.

9) both erin and vivian started stuffing me with food for the last ten minutes. i was so exhausted, i just mouthed in whatever they gave me.

10) erin complained to vivian for the infinite time that i couldn't bite food off properly and when i tried to bite off the food, she didn't pull the pair of chopstick from my mouth. -.-

11) our table was hell messy even before we left.

12) the floor was strewn all over with food. to be exact, there were two opened packaging of wet tissue, some pieces of 'live fish' according to erin (i have no idea what the hell is that too), one prawn still with the tail attached, sushi rice (not really after erin stepped on it and it got stuck to her shoe) and one-quarter of my durian ice-cream.

13) i tried dipping my durian ice-cream into the boiling soup. it still tasted cold after the dipping-session. i was greatly amused and kept trying and finally, told them excitedly like a three-year-old that the temperature actually remained the same.

14) i had lots of beef and each and everytime the beef supply in the pot was low, i would announced it so that erin would deliver to me another plate of raw beef.

15) god knows what was the volume of us talking and laughing and clapping our hands and banging of the table etc. in the restaurant. i guess we were too high to take notice and were oblivious to everything.

16) at one point of time, we started laughing our heads off at anything that was said or commented. we literally transformed into mental patients!

17) out of the blue, vivian announced to the whole table that she craved for 'suan mei' (the thing that pregnant lady likes to eat) and i was like 'daddy, mummy pregnant already leh.' and jiaen was like 'where's my chopsticks?!' which aroused laughter.

18) erin reacted the whole scene of the chopstick scene and i was verbally translating it into words and that triggered an explosion of laughter, and jiaen contributed greatly to the laughter.

19) jiaen laughed so hard, that she said that she couldn't hear anything through hiccups of her laughter.

20) i went to refill my drink and i was mixing F&N grape with ice lemon tea and coke and sprite when i realised that the table of four behind me was staring at me and my drink and i had to walk back to our table in shame.

21) erin used the tongs for the side dishes as a spoon.

22) we took some pictures and as usual, i was camera shy. awww. :) (p.s. the pictures you saw on facebook regarding that day was an illusion. they edited my photos. haha.)

23) both erin and vivian's cooking pot with the boiling soup was always EMPTY, while jiaen, claudia and mine's always FULL, and it wasn't cuz of me that our pot was that full. i only put in beef and the pink thing and i was the one who finished the beef.

24) erin named the pink thing 'toilet paper'. LOL.

25) there was once when erin wanted to feed me some drink through the straw and i roughly got the idea so i sucked the other end of the straw. she let go cuz she claimed that i was sucking the tip of her tongue through the straw and the remaining drink rushed into my mouth. as i wasn't prepared, i spat out the drink.

26) we were the customers who stayed the longest. we practically ate til the whole restaurant was empty before we left.

woots! ok. that was so... SHORT! this is my shortest post, EVER! gosh. i guess i should improve on my writing skills. yeah. haha. oh. and thereafter, we paid for everything and headed to AMK hub to shop a little in order for the food in our stomach to digest properly. we then went to the basement and erin and i spotted the japanese ice-cream ON SALE! as fast as lightning, we whipped out our wallets (fine, or purses) and grabbed that ice-cream over and began stuffing ourselves with that. haha. of course, we did share. like DUH! and most of them claimed that erin's ice-cream tasted better. whatever. so thereafter, we headed home with a stomach that threatened to burst any other time should we stuff more food down. lol. i slept on the bus. yeah. i was so friggin' drained out after i alighted at my bus stop together with erin that i couldn't walk properly. and... HOME SWEET HOME! xD
