7:49 PM

the 44th post of lastman-standing.blogspot.com shall cover 3 days.

(look at the temperature of the car.)

this was on friday:
nothing much, just that i went for piano lesson at plaza singapura at 3. and at the yamaha school at the second-highest level(dunno which level larh) i saw a marching french horn.
it looks...

i saw it coming. i knew it'd be as weird as how it looks like in the photo. and i know i wouldn't want to march with that. and i know that my section'd second my thoughts here.

oh, well.
at 4 my bro came to plaza to go to nai nai's house for STAYOVER, woots.
in home clothes and a cap.
i wish he'd let me take a pic of him.
then we went kfc to buy some food. he had no breakfast and lunch.
then we went to starbucks (i stayed outside) to buy coffee. my brother, that is. i never liked coffee. bitter and whatever.
from the busstop nearest to plaza sing, we took 124 all the way to the henderson bridge (which was like mayb a kilometre off the ground, i dunno. if someone fell off he'd have a lot of air time) because my mum asked me to. and asked me and leinad to walk into the telok blangah heights. turns out she was wrong to have said that, and i was wrong to believe that. because.

124 turns straight into telok blangah heights.

but we didn't care. we took 273 into the road. i couldn't care much. my bus pass was still valid. leinad, however, wasted 55 more cents. his ezlink card had no money.
maybe i should phrase it to 'i wasted 55 more cents' because the coins came from my wallet.

whatever.
we went to nai nai's house, to find that nick, jia and yang hadn't even arrived. they arrived at 6, sweaty and all. then simin arrived. earlier than them, just to eat dinner with us. lols. with her mum, since nainai's going to cook for all of us.

after dinner, my aunt woke up from her sleep. and came out fro the room, giving the 5 of us all the time we wanted on the xbox. however, we could only play till 10, the maid required sleep.

WARNING: to those who're not used to seeing skinny people who bo cheng sah (never wear shirt) , please scroll down and close your eyes

jia(left) and yang(right)

parteh! nick's the one nearest to the camera.

need i say more? me and jia

we were bored, to cut a long story short

and did i tell you jia wore a blue FBT shorts?! the one that the netballers usually wear.

well, that was all.

for playing, that is.
because i slept at 3.30. jia was scratching his body all over (his hobby). damn noisy. and i had to shift out of my comfortable position to pull my blanket up, took about 30 mins to adapt and adjust.
and i teng sah and kor (if you dunno, it's a blessing; it's in hokkien, btw)
because it was just so warm under the blanket, and just so cold without the blanket.
then i slept.

woke up at 5.30, for GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON. i really dunno. that's how ppl wake up from a nice sleep.

lay in till 6, when everybody woke up. bathed in supersuper shiok hot water, then we had to leave.

for da gu's house, which was also in telok blangah, required a 5-min drive from my nainai's place.
and my da gu zhang fetched us all to his house. quite a few ppl were there already, and we just went in to take a look at shawn.
hmm.
i dunno how to say. in home clothes, yet had her make-up put on. it was a weird sight.

at around (forgot the time, i think around 0730-0800) steven arrived, and everybody was there already. locked up the place, we left, and went downstairs.
nick's finest moment (opening the door for steven) and receiving a 20-buck red packet in return. haiz. if only i was born bedore 9 july. haiz again.

went up, and from the games began.
he had to look for a plastic bag, which contained a pink bra and a sash which showed "bride-to-be" and he had to put it on.
pics, 2 of them, damn. the rest were videos.

bra...

and sash.

after that he had to learn on the spot how to play 'twinkle twinkle little star' on the violin, thanks to my jie. he picked up pretty fast, i had to say.
after much ear-bleeding time, we got to go in.
then more games began
he had to sing a chinese song and an english song.
2 english songs, and one chinese song, to be exact.
the chinese song was sung by his brothers and him (tian mi mi)
and he sang 'twinkle twinkle little star' with improvisation ("twinkle twinkle little star, you are brighter than a star" was his last 2 lines)
and another eng song.

FINALLY, the door opened.

FINALLY, the house was quiet (15 mins later)
then the 5 of us plus matthew (jennifer's bf) went to the bukit merah macs to eat some proper breakfast.
after eating, we went back.
and...
jia slept.

how peaceful he was.

then we did a lot of stuff, played cards, ate lunch, tea ceremony, played more cards, socialised, and whatever before we went home.

AND, for those who don't even know, shawn's my cousin. on my father's side. i've got a lot of cousins, due to the fact that...
my father has 7 siblings, not including himself.

went home, slept, ate, bathed, played piano, dressed up (though not in chronological order)

and there you go.

i wouldn't be surprised when ppl go "WTF?!" at this because i only wore this for 3 occasions.

then we went for the dinner.
me, jie and leinad had to play piano at the reception, but i think nobody heard; they were talking too loudly.
but, i think they heard my Gershwin piece, since the starting was quite loud.
finally, we could get in.
(pictures and videos will be shown later, as in last part of this post)
ate dinner.
superb, i say.
wonderful, i say.
non-filling, i say.
that's the catch.
there were 10 ppl at my table. including me.
so i just ate.
then in between meals we cam-whored. i had to say, it was quite an experience.

whatever.
reached home at around 12.30. slept at 1.

to end it off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABRIEL!

now for the pics. slowly synchronising with jie via msn.
all pics not taken by my camera's going up below.

you know what...
i'll edit.
stupid jie's offline now

bye. For now.
