Happy 23rd Birthday, Shu-En!

Yesterday night, a group of us met up for homecooked Chinese food at Eugene's house. Before that, Alekx came to pick me and Larissa up from my house at 7pm. Then we went to Shu-En's house to pick the birthday girl up.

On the instructions of Elizabeth, we were supposed to blindfold her, and Larissa lent us this really cute blindfold for Shu-En to use:
When I checked with Eliz, she told me that Shu-En knew we were meeting, but she didn't know where. What I didn't know was that, due to a slip-up on their part, Shu-En actually already knew that we were going to Eugene's house. Alekx, Lala and myself, didn't know that. So when Shu-En asked if we were going to Eugene's house, the 2 kept quiet while I just kept going, "Only God knows!" Also, while we picked Shu-En up at 7:10pm, and could have easily reached Eugene's house in 10 minutes, Alekx went on a really big detour that only saw us arriving at the carpark at Eugene's house at about 7:35pm. At that time, Shu-En thought we'd change the location to somewhere further away, and that we weren't going to Eugene's house anymore.

At the carpark at Eugene's house:
Before Shu-En got into the car, we were discussing when we were going to remove the blindfold. We knew that Shu-En would know we were in the lift of a HDB block the moment she got in. Lala actually suggested we walk her up the stairs to Eugene's house - ELEVEN STORIES UP! In the end, we just got her to climb to the 2nd floor, then we took the lift to the 11th floor.
At Eugene's house - by then she already knew we were definitely at Eugene's house:
Eliz wanted us to take a jumpshot with Shu-En all blindfolded, but the shots were quite a failure... haha. It was fun trying though!

He Li then came up with the idea that Shu-En should guess whose hand she was touching while blindfolded. When Shu-En touched He Li's hands, she said, "Wah how come these hands so hot one?!" He Li's face went all red at that!
At my turn, she started feeling upwards, AND ALMOST TOUCHED MY CHEST. Hence Lala's laughing face because I was recoiling and putting my hands together to protect myself
Shu-En was actually really good in feeling and guessing whose hands she was feeling. When we tried to throw her off by making her feel the hands of 2 different people at the same time, she could tell rather immediately and guessed correctly whose hands she was touching.
We finally got down to eating. With Elizabeth's help, Eugene cooked dinner for us:
Elizabeth's attempt at a self-shot - we are missing Joanne and Joel in this photo because they only came much later:
We ate, and laughed, and talked, and played a simple Q&A game with Shu-En as the star. It was a great time and we only left at about 10plus I think?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHU-EN!

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
