MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - THE LIGHT BEHIND YOUR EYES

20 May 2022
Joined a ONE fc live screening, organised by Onyx East. Didn't really know what to bring for potluck, but brought some snacks and chipped in for the pizzas desmond ordered. I didn't expect the screening to start early, and arrived only at 09:30pm to find everyone else more or less seated. Hence I stood around the back, eating by myself. Shortly after, joined by chyehong, vera, dave, deepak and linder. After standing for 2 of the ONE matches, we finally decided to take things into our own hands ¬ᴗ¬ While the guys were chatting, us 4 girls moved a picnic table/benches towards the screening area, where we could finally rest on. #girlpower #lol

After the 3 ONE matches of thailand vs foreigners ^ᴗ^", many of the onyxsters left for home. Our little drinking group was then joined by weelee, desmond, yuhao and zhenhong. Desmond brought out his bottles of Moscato, which tasted good ᵕᴗᵕ (never tried it before) Started touching on the topic on family (mainly parents), preference for kids, pets and etc OᴗO (and i realised i didn't gave much of my opinions, as usual O_O) As much as I try to lessen the distance between others...

Anyways, some of us started clearing the area, and I was given a jar of achar and a container of salad cause they didn't know whose was it. As much as I wanted to stay longer, I decided to grab home around 2:30am as I had a trip the next day with my fam.

Got woken up by my mom at 9am, to order Mac breakfast for the rest. Was just a lil groggy, since i didn't have any "hangover soup" or pills (if only they sold those, like in korea) After breakfast, we headed towards JB, my brother on the wheel. The jam from sg to jb was pretty ok... we arrived at the furniture shop, where our ID wanted to help us get cheaper furniture for our new home. Shopped about 3 hours there?! (i mean... you know moms ^-^")

After all the shopping, we headed to a random bak kut teh stall, Tun Aminah/Shun Fa Bak Kut Teh, which my oldest sis googled. Although the wait for the food was a bit long, due to all the grab food orders... Boy~ the food was delicious! I mean, it should be if we have a consensus. Bak kut teh, sesame sauce chicken, braised pork trotter. -ᴗ- After our delish meal, we headed to Sutera Mall for some grocery shopping.

On our way home, we passed by this Euro Fun Park fair, beside Angsana Mall. It looked damn fun, but everyone was tired and restless already. Furthermore, i don't think my fam are the right crowd to be bringing to such amusement parks. I mean, with the thrilling rides and all. The jam from JB back into sg was way worser, and out faulty airconditioner wasn't very ideal for the long wait.

Forced myself up at 09:30 am, for back-to-back yoga classes with ervinna. Weiqi jio-ed me while i was in jb, and i thought "why not?" Have been interested in joining the past few sessions. The first class was a Twist class, which was fierce! Weiqi and i were dripping sweat all over our mats by the end of the lesson. And i never knew that my body could twist into the positions which ervinna guided us into. #aneyeopener At one point, our heads were upside down, staring back at ourselves through the mirror (fish pose). It felt like intermediate level stuff, which was really cool OᴗO

The second class was Hip Opening, which wasn't as tough as the first class, but still required much stretching especially at the legs area. I felt like a ballerina with all the splits done in class ᵕᴗᵕ Ervinna was very professional, like she knew when we had more potential to stretch further and she would encourage us to push further.

After the end of lesson, we bumped into chocolate, weelee and pkhorn, whom had just closed the gym for the day. Chocolate was mentioning about some achar which her mom made, which they could not find in the gym, and immediately in my head "gg~" Futhermore, the achar was meant as a gift for eunice! xᴗx I was like the thief/sinner of the century as I admitted to them that I brought it home. Wl started poking fun at the side, and said that they just spent so much time searching for the missing achar in the gym ^-^" Chocolate was being nice and brushed it off, saying that she hopes my fam enjoys it (which we did!) ᵕᴥᵕ

Ending off the post with a very apt pic of a cat in a rolled up position x)

FRANKIE VALLI - CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU

07 May 2022
Got invited to attend Leck Qi & Malcolm's wedding ᵕᴗᵕ Met up with alvin at the Chapel where the wedding ceremony was taking place, which was very near my family's upcoming new house. We saw a few familiar faces from sceondary school, and quickly headed to take our seats. Leck qi was so pretty in her wedding dress, as she walked down the aisle. Upon the introduction of the couple, the wedding service led into a gospel service (which I wasn't sure if everyone present were christians) Once it was over, the pastors went over the wedding vows with the couple.

The last part of the wedding was the photo session with guests. Alvin and I continued catching up on life while waiting for our turn. He relayed the good news of his planned proposal to desiree in june ^ᴗ^ Another wedding to attend soon? I passed leck qi a little gift too, which she was over the moon with ;) And we left with some freshly baked pastries (wedding gifts by the couple)


After heading home to have lunch with my parents, I headed out in the evening, to meet xinyun and chewen. My oldest sis and bro-in-law took over my role of accompanying my parents :B The girls and I had Tsukada Nojo @ Plaza Singapura before we went for a 3 hours ktv session at K Star karaoke. Been a loooong while, since singing into a mic -ᴗ- Some of the surrounding rooms had groups of drunkards shouting at the top of their lungs xD Everyone's in party mode already.

After the ktv session ended, on our way home, xinyun commented on how thirsty she was. And she suggested we have a drink at Tipsy Penguin, which we did -ᴗ- Caught up, and delved into some emo, deep topics about our past friendships, our own family dynamics, what we expect in our future, respective relationships. Halfway into our talks, a girl from a neighbouring table came by and leaned into my ear, "my friend likes you!" She was at a table with two other guys.

I didn't know how to react to that, and being the shy introvert I am, I just became more mindful of my surroundings, trying not to meet their gaze. Xin yun was screening their table from time to time and describing to me how they looked like, lol. Though I knew this wasn't the scenario I was comfortable with, in meeting someone. I would need time, to open up, to be more comfortable around and act myself. Anyways, it felt like a fufilling weekend, bonding with my two groups of buddies.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do

ALESSIA CARA - YOU LET ME DOWN

Headed to Jypsy @ One Fullerton to celebrate che wen' birthday, with shirley and xinyun. Was a bummer that we couldn't get the outdoor seating, to enjoy the night view of singapore river. The salmon tacos were delish. We thought that their interior decor was quite nice, their open concept kitchen counter and their bar. The girls were thoughful for me, by snagging some of the restaurant's cat printed coasters ᵕᴗᵕ

Afterwich, we headed to Super Loco Customs House, which we felt the service by the staff were superb. One of the waiters asked us if we wanted to keep the cake which we brought, in their fridge; and when it was time to eat the cake, they even provided us with a candle. To top it all, they served us two slices of their in-house cakes, on the house! We finally had our chill session by the singapore river too.

Due to the long weekend, I decided to visit the kids (my nephews) at my second sis' place. A whole sunday of games and chaos, and I had my dinner there as well. After dinner, I got a text from the cousins (shawn and kunjie) that they were drinking at Obar @ Pasir Ris Downtown East. And I ended up promising to meet them -ᴗ-

Reached when they were halfway through the beer tower, and we proceeded to finish it. We then headed to Cow Play Cow Moo, which I don't often visit. Due to beginner's luck, I helped them scored 500 over tickets with one well played game. We then watched one uncle on the claw machine, who was very pro at it and got two prizes after less than 20 tries. Finally, ended the night with late night poker at shawn's house, which was super fun! (also because I won due to beginner's luck again ^ᴗ^)

Was invited to another one of Onyx's little celebrations ᵕᴗᵕ Potluck style, which resulted in a food galore! Wei qi and I started gobbling down the food while being audiences, watching our trainers on the pads with their trainer/founder of onyx OvO Their padwork sessions looked so much cooler and more pro~ Had lots of chats with the other members, me usually mostly just taking the backseat and listening to the conversations, but nevertheless, intriguing to learn so much more about them. Wayne, joceyln, weiqi and i were discussing lots about MT skills and briefly touched on the topic of astrology again :P

The drinking was fierce though... i started off with beer, and was introduced to pineapple soju and coke soju concoctions by desmond (bartender for the night), and ended the night with more beer x_x (Is this akin to soju bomb?) Into the night, was listening to wl and dave's interesting conversation on vices which were common and accepted in thailand, cambodia etc. And was chatting with the rest, on what types of alcohol we preferred. Enjoyed another bonding sesh with the onyx community.
