I got a new computer! whee! after the old one died... ummm that was really long ago.. like half a year? i can't remember... anyways, i've been living without a com for the longest time waiting for a good deal and everything. Finally got the deal Starhub offered... the total cost of the cool com came up to $400. :) It's a good deal for an ok and not too bad Pc. :) i'm happy... and of course since this is a photo blog, here they are.... [please excuse the bad lighting and colour. the new com has none of my software so i had to use primitive tools to brighten it up... namely WORD and Paint. gee hahaha]


there you have it people, my new computer in all it's glory... :)
Compaq Presario Pentium 4 3.06Ghz... It's got 160GB of space and 512Ram... came with a 17" screen, free compaq keyboard and mouse and speakers [but i'm using my own speakers coz i have a subwoofer, they don't] ahhaha... yuppers... the power button has a light below it that glows green... COOL. hahaha then the mouse is half transparent plastic so it glows red.. think bout that. picture this: dark room, green glow from the cpu, red glow from the mouse and a white glow from the screen. FUN-KEY! hahaha... yuppers.

Tml's Watchnite service in church. countdown to 2006 and all. yay! so fun. ahhaa See you guys next year!!!

So after I blogged last nite, i went to meet my family for Sab's Birthday dinner. We were originally going to Jack's Place at Parkway... but in the end we changed plans when they picked me and we went to Marche in the end! haha.. cool stuff. Here are picks wif comments so you know wad you're looking at.
This is Really nice pasta.. Herb pasta la... so the [i think it's spinach] went down pretty nicely. I'm not a vege person but yet i found this dish really tasty and nice. The taste is just a hint and so it tickles your mind and tastebuds wondering what you might get in the next spoon, more or less of the pasta taste. NICE... i think it was umm $14... not sure.

This is smoked Salmon that was alrite only la... my family thought it wasn't really worth the price... $13 i think. can't remember... but it was alrite only la... the Salmon was good, but it's just moderately nice... Don't bank on this dish if you're gonna boast Marche to a friend. :)

This is my all time favourite... Rosti. This particular dish is Swiss Rosti with Cheese Sausage... Came up to a whopping $9... that's why i only treat myself to this expensive dish once in a while... The sour cream is brilliant as it compliments the potato slices really well. Mouth watering and delicious, a must eat if you go to Marche. I'm already drooling!

DESSERT! haha... We were wondering whether we should do crepe or waffles.. but since we already did eat a black pepper chicken and cheese crepe [sorry, no pic of that], we went with waffles. This my friends is a Banana and ice cream waffle. The ice cream we chose was Cinnamon and plum... and come on, which singaporean wouldn't drown their waffles in the free toppings? So courtesy of Kiasu Sab, we had nuts, chocolate shavings and Cinnamon sugar drenching the ice cream and waffle. It went down nice and closed the evening really well. :) $9 dessert.. ouch. haha

Overall, it came up to $68 but there was discount coz we used umm mastercard i think and so bill came to $60.. that works out to $15 a person, real reasonable for the variety we had... [we also had sashimi but no pics of that coz it was gobbled so fast].
After Marche, we headed to Balaclava so Sab and Dad could visit their friends there... Dad's friends were a holler, prob the loudest group there. They were sitting on the outside of Bala and so we could stand there without having to go into Bala since the age cap was 23. Drank a sip of their whiskey after being coxed into turning to the dark side by Dad's frens... ahha it wasn't too bad.. but i guess i can't really appreciate alcohol yet... Nonetheless, it was cool coz i really did wanna try the alcohol...

Yup, that kinda closed the night. :)
Happy Belated Bloggy Birthday Sab!!!
[For those who can't see, there's a moving text in the empty space just above this line. it says "Happy Belated Bloggy Birthday Sab!!!"]
:) Hope you had a blast and may the Lord continue to shine His blessings upon you. Thanks for being a stupid sister i can't seem to stop loving. :)

So, for those who don't know yet... The blog has a new Section. It was requested by a friend. I'll just name her as Walnut for now. :) Always visiting this blog so i asked her what she would want to see... And she just had to say "MUSIC REVIEW!!!"

Yeh, on other news, my specs broke. they look like this now, they're one legged.


So now i have to wear shades.. my dad's powered shades.. they're quite close to my power.. but still not my power so still blind. the bad thing is that although i look cool [people say that ok!!!] I look real dumb wearing shades indoors and at night. hahah

Yeh, sorry, gotta go for Sab's Birthday dinner. Till i blog again!!!

Heyyy

So here i am at 2.56am on Christmas morning blogging. Haha, jus had a wild crazy time on Christmas eve! The day started out bad... but let's not blog bout that shall we? heh

Had to go to church at 3pm for Choir practice and the dinner started at 6... after that, it was Christmas Eve presentation till late. This year, August, Hensley, Auntie Yuet Ling and Auntie Linda were leading the event. There were 4 chairs put up in front of the Pulpit and it was really nicely done... they wore white and khaki combi which is always a sure winner. Here you can see the chairs.





Yup, church was packed can! there were so many people.haha.. After that, we all decided to head down to the Airport for some coffee. The pacific coffee place we wanted to go to was quite the packed and so we bought our drinks and went to the viewing gallery and sang songs till like 1plus. haha





Yup, then we jus sang the night away la. Sean the man Teng was jus wild with his Retro songs and all. haha it was really nice just singing songs out of the blue with him and others. Wish i could just sing and sing and sing. hahaha. it was nice gettin my mind off what was buggin me during the morning. I'd say that it was a smashing Christmas Eve despite the morning. And now it's Christmas! whee! got service tomolo... presenting summore. sigh how it'll all go well. haha so i'm headed off to bed now... to catch like less than 5 hours of sleep. NIGHT people and Blessed Christmas to one and all. The reason for the season is the Lord Jesus Christ, the infant messiah!

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
That I'm no good without you
Take my arms
I want to loose them
Take my lips
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
And I know that I
Am no good without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

(Repeat both verses)

Why not take all of me

This was supposed to be a happy and joyous season. Why did you have to take it away? I won't let you. This season belongs to God.

Christmas is coming Christmas is coming! Sound the bells, wrap the presents and praise the Lord! It's almost here you can just smell it.

Two more days till all hell breaks loose and cries for the Lord Jesus was born. haha...

Trust me, there WILL be pictures. JUST YOU WAIT! hehe.. can't wait. whee!

So... today i managed to sneak some time to go wif mum, sis and aunty wendy... Picked me up from sch and we zoomed off in our umm nissan sunny.. -_-; to Ikea....

When we reached there, there was like a long queue for this nationwide famous restaurant with swedish meatballs. anyhoo.. the food was quite expensive and there was the queue so we decided to go downstairs to enjoy HOTDOGS!!! Haha... picture this, 4 people, 6 hotdogs. yummy. haha then they had this dispenser thing that dispenses chili, mustard and tomato sauce... and it's like in this kinda UDDER looking thing. haha you squeeze the thing and the sauce comes out... here, take a look... it's like you're milking a "toppings" cow. haha It's udder-ly hilarious.

Yeh, so it was quite funny la... anyhowz, in the hotdog shop place... took 2 funny pics... one was of the next table.. you know those standing tables where they basically dun have seats... and so there's jus a leaning table top and at the bottom, there's a smaller table... this next table was jus the cutest la... the table was occupied by a family of 2 parents and a young kid and the kid was like under the table using the smaller table. hahah it's like a children's table below... you'll see what i mean...

haha so cute... oh oh, they had really nice ceiling lights... they're like halos... take a look. so nice. they sold for ummm $25 each i think. can't remember the cost.. or was it $55... hmm haha.. nice nonetheless...

Ikea rocks... trust me, if you've got the time, jus go down and have a look see... esp during Christmas.. the mood and atmosphere really inspires you... but go wif no cash so you won't be tempted to buy anything. hahaha coz i really wanted to buy stuff. thankfully i ain't got no cash. hahaha.. but got ideas from there though. nice nice ideas. :)

Btw, if you're viewing my blog in Firefox, the paragraphing can be a little skewed... or screwed, whichever word you wish to use. haha using internet explorer is better.. but personally, i hate IE compared to firefox so... HAHA...

This is 3 hearts i folded in YF camp during the free time... was jus folding them. haha it was a fun camp.. managed to get to know Priscilla "ah bu bu" cheong and Lynn much better... coz other than camp time, we dun really get to meet the young ones that much so it was quite fun. Other than that, the camp theme song was sooo nice... gonna be using it the next time i lead worship.. whenever that is. :) here's the nice pic. of course it's nice, i took it. hahaha

It was a rainy day on the way to church.. pouring actually... was quite scary... considering my mother was driving a car that had the visibility of like... 1-2 metres? sigh. told her to go get the car windscreen coated wif that water resistant screen. hope she does, but knowing her...that could take a while... haha yeh so here's the nice pic... i photo editted it dun worry, the sky wasn't THAT blue. :) jus thot it would give the rain effect a nice look. i could be wrong.

This is a collection of the 3 cute pictures August "expertly" drew in MSN chat.... with a mouse people.... yes this guy is a genius wif regards to mouse drawing. haha... was telling him about my coffee date wif starbucks and salvation army that day and he drew these. haha the "scared of poo" drawing was jus his sick mind working. YES YOU AUGUST... ahha but thanks for the wonderfully cute drawings. :)

So I went down to starbucks yesterday coz they were giving our free coffee due to the Christmas spirit.. they do this once a year, every year for a 2 hour timeslot... I just had to go down and get me a cuppa... haha So i went down to Tampines Mall, checked out the queue, freaked out for a bit and then jus joined the ranks of the flowing stream of people snaking around the outlet. Here are some pictures that might help you have an idea of what i went thru jus for my lovely coffee.... that i loved and still love so much. hhaha enjoy!

The Queue went out of Starbucks and around the building.
looong. here we see eager people, a.k.a. kaisu Sporeans waiting in
line for the famous word... FREE... free coffee in this case...
madness. who would queue this long for coffee.... oh right..
me.

Here we see mad people as they get closer to the coffee... very
near the entrance liao. can smell coffee... haha...

And here we have the big information about the promotion...
if you can't see the fine print well.. CLICK THE PICTURE
DUH. haha no la... i'll help ya at it... it basically says that you
are allowed 1 drink of your choice and it's on the house from 5-
7pm. And that Salvation Army is collecting donations if you wish
to donate to them.

And finally i manage to obtain my highly and anxiously
sought after Caramel Rhumba Frapp... wooo!!! haha i was so glad
to get it can! When i had my first sip it was heaven. haha Missed
it quite a bit. Was real glad i could have some coffee again. The
last time i had coffee was easily a month or two ago. oh my. haha
So yeh, it was all worth it. :) Glad i had my coffee... free summore.
heh

Yeh so it was fun, fulfilling and fruitful trip to starbucks... here
are some other random shots that i took recently... the blue
coloured one is a nice effect that the chapel had. all the lights
were off save the projector blue light giving the room an eerie yet
mysterious feeling. It was too nice to miss but as always, the
camera can't capture what the eye can...

Some other shots are self explanatory so till the next time i go
snapping... see ya all soon! haha... btw, getting a new com. so
happy. haha...

YAY! new blog template! haha worked on it for about 1-2 hours put together. heh.. love this pic.. and it's SO me now la... going around snapping at totally nonsensical stuff and making it beautiful... so if i take a pic of you, that doesn't mean you're not beautiful to start with... coz there has to be sumthing there to catch my eye in the first place. hahhaa..

yeh, will be changing template again when i feel like it. looks quite cool la coz i've got quite a number of cool backgrounds to play with. hehe.. enjoy!!! oh, realized that with the new template there are good and bad points..

Tag board is fully functional... took away that lame excuse of a popup tagboard. haha

Bad:
