Chapter 26

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It has been 1 year since I started this blog! (well almost) So, basically for these past few days, MANY things happen.

So after my childhood friends come (they come in the morning), me and my bro went to meet them straightaway. Miss them! And I had a great time with them:D they were still the same haha, ate snack with them( except that they eat yakiudon and I ate frozen yogurt) They were shocked to see me so thin and keep on commenting about it, especially Jessica.t. OK, once is enough but I got really irritated when they keep on mentioning it and trying to tell me how thin am I. OK, I know and thank you but you do not need to repeat it like hundred times.... but of course I hide it and just keep on smiling and laughing and pretend I do not really care. But overall it is fine. Then their parents came along and keep on commenting about it too, and her mother kind of blame my mom even though I did not really find any link. She thinks my mom influence me to be too obsessively thin (which is not true... is my mind that is the problem) Then around 5.30, we went to the airport to pick up my dad but his plane got delayed and we ended up waiting for him till like 7.30.... went to orchard central to eat ootaya with him( mom did not go, said she was bathing and her wig was being washed... but I guessed is coz she was on diet and wanted to skip dinner) Ootaya is a Japanese restaurant recommended by my bro and he always said it is nice.Waited for a seat of 3 for like 1+ hour and ordered a charcoal grilled chicken salad in basil sauce set, it was nice but did not finish the rice though.... hehe. but I ate quite a lot I must say. And we all liked it and said to come back again with grandmother next time.

Me and my bro started to accompany my dad outside coz we were told to since we did not want to let them felt like as if they were lonely and we were being disrespectful. It was okay I guess, not as bad as I thought it was to be. Bought Iphone the next day and I was sooo happy! Even though it will need to be taken away from me (sad) for few days for the GST later on:( but I got it, went home and quickly download all the necessities (wallpaper, contacts, application, internet is dome the next next day, etc) wasted one whole night but it was worth it. bro did not know about it till the very next day. LOL funny. he was shocked. ate at Thai restaurant for lunch but did not really enjoy it even though the others kind of like it though. Evening was at novena hotpot, I don't really like it but they do....

Then the next day, we promised to go out with Jessica, Andrew and Adeline to some board game cafe. we were supposed to eat lunch together but somehow, they wanted to meet after lunch (sad) so we ate with our parents first. Ate lunch at crystal jade in paragon (dim sum) I was kind of sick of it and my favorite dim sum menu (red pork pastry) did not come out so I was pretty disappointed by it. Went to Vivocity to buy my Iphone casing and protector( cheaper and nicer) HAPPY!! Met them not long after that and went to search for the cafe. Too bad all the board game cafe was not available till 6 (got lost in Clarke Quay and saw some gay sining and rehearsing Britney spear's songs, plaza Singapore there all no room) I felt so bad coz I was the one who suggest it and I forgot to book for an appointment with them. SO, we went to Cathay to watch 'the tourist' act by Johnny Depp & Angeline Jolie. It was a blessing a disguise coz the movie was sooo good and funny! We thought that the whole movie was in French at first and was like surprised and shocked but luckily is not, it was only the first [art (damn they should translate and subbed the first part to prevent from scaring the audience....) But the movie was so good that I enjoy the whole thing from he start to the end (with a twist and unexpected ending at the end) LOL. But before that, thanks to my bro who is forever hungry, we went to Aston to eat first. ordered onion ring but ate only 3 pieces (damn you disorder) We were supposed to play some dance game after the movie but since drew really really want to eat the Chinese food with his parents and tante Aicen until he black mood when we suggest to eat among ourselves, we decided to forgo that plan and went to eat with them instead, I dread it coz I thought they will be taunting me to eat more and noticing me. I hate it, and I kind of the one who suggested to eat among ourselves and got him bad mood, so I felt bad and just follow his wants. But luckily, they did not. They were at first bu later on, since the food came out so long, they forgotten bout it and just care for their own. the only food that is nice there is the bean curd though, dont know why they rave about it so much... maybe they were hungry?? Went home after that feeling tired.

Then the next day was 31 December!! We first went to the dental with mom for her check-up but ended up eating lunch without her. Went to fish&co to eat. Order the grilled prawn with peri peri sauce and offered 3 prawns to bro, to save my stomach space for the evening (buffet). Then went to shop a while and went home to prepare. I had such a hard time trying to prepare the clothes that I wanted to wear since I do not want ti too formal and won't make me look too thin. Luckily, a scarf saved me and I had the perfect dress. happy. All the process (clothes, hair, face, shoes) took me 2 hours to get ready and I was ready by 4.30. Went to the hotel at 5 and reached at 6. We took photo here and there before the dinner started. When it started we quickly grab the dishes. Jessica.T said I took too little but hey, is a buffet, you should take each item only a bit to try out all the stuffs but I ate A LOT! 1st plate: salad, tuna loin, smoked salmon, prawn salad) 2nd serving: tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, kajiki sashimi, unagi sushi and California roll) 3rd serving: ebi tempura and sweet potato. 4th serving: Ham in coke, broccoli, chicken casserole and fried potato and garlic fried rice. 5th serving: seafood bisque. 6th serving: pumpkin pie, Portuguese egg custard, dark chocolate mousse, opera, strawberry mousse. 7th serving: pumpkin pie, fruit cake, Portuguese egg custard. 8th serving: tuna loin, smoked salmon, briyani rice with tofu curry. 9th serving: Portuguese egg tart, durian penyet, panna cotta & macaroons. But I did not finish some though coz I do not like it and it was too sweet and all that. then we spent many time talking about out ideal man and woman and see the performance waiting for count down. the most memorable one was the audience dancing to jay ho, the gay performance and the belly dancer. LOL it was exciting and fun. When the countdown start and new year has started, the balloons hanging on the ceiling started to fall and our space were crowded with balloons, It was so fun and I had so much fun going high!! we popped the balloons, maybe coz it represent good luck or something. had fun. took picture and wish everyone new year. Then we went to get ready for home. That's when the dread happen. Bro and dad went to a wrong turn and reach the lobby of the hotel (from the car park at 12.30) at 2am!! I fell asleep already and just sleepily went inside the car and continue to sleep till home. do not care about brushing my teeth or anything. Drew and jess left much earlier since they went at the right direction... lucky them. And guess what, I only gained 0.5 kg despite all these.....

Today, went to eat with the family only at waraku. not really nice but they wanted it since they were too tired to go anywhere far. Then bro went home to sleep while me and dad and mom went taka to shop till evening and eat with grandma at Ootaya. Supposed to be at Angus house but couldn't reserved a table, too full. before that I ate sour sally to satisfy my craving for frozen yogurt but only partial was satisfied coz they do not have red bean and granola topping. and the almond topping was so thin that I almost couldn't taste it. it was a disappointment. I felt so sinful by just 1 scoop of ice cream and I know better not to feel that. So, ootaya went to order the chicken in orange and vinegar sauce. is nice but did not finish the rice though, father ordered desserts just coz I wanted the 'red bead' in the desserts (thank you) and I enjoyed it while being guilty... but I think I somehow trying to overcome this disorder right now. Gain 0.5kg again and now I think my weight is 43?? I hope I can continue to gain with a positive mindset.....
