Happy birthday, sis!

Today’s my sis’ birthday! Happy birthday to you! Another year older but I shan’t laugh at you because I’m not getting any younger myself. Haha. I’ll turn 27 in three months time and honestly, it isn’t someting to cheer about. Time really does fly.

I met up with the girls for steamboat dinner at Bugis last night and as usual it was fun hanging out with them. After dinner, we went for desserts at a nearby popular cafe which, unsurprisingly, was packed to the brim. After a while, we managed to find a table and sat down to enjoy our desserts. While we were still eating, there was this family of four (could be more but I couldn’t be bothered to find out) hanging around us, obviously waiting for us to vacate our seats. There’s nothing wrong with that but the way they did it was extremely annoying. The mother and two sons stood a little too close for comfort to me and stared at us while we eat. The father hovered on the other side of the table and shot us rude stares, hoping we’d just scoot. Well, we didn’t do that of course. Instead, we proclaimed loudly that we were still hungry and ordered an extra bowl of sesame paste to share among the four of us despite being stuffed to bits. Hahaha! I thought that was mean and hilarious at the same time.

The father was so friggin rude and we happened to find him so offensive that we decided not to let them have the table. If they’d been nice instead of being so pushy, we’d have gladly vacate the seats for them. Some Singaporeans can be so ungracious and rude it’s unbelieveable. Then again, it’s nothing new, agree?

I actually spent my Saturday sleeping. Funnily enough I was just thinking earlier today how I seldom take naps and the next thing I know, I went to nap not long after I had my late lunch. Damn. No wonder I’m getting fat.

A Chek Jawa and laundry day

I went to the Chek Jawa Wetlands at Pulau Ubin with Val, Shir, my sis and two of her colleagues earlier today. Despite having to wake up at 6.30am, I was rather excited about the trip. It’s been a while since I last went to Pulau Ubin. Was it seven or eight years ago? Oh wow, I think so. We didn’t stay very long on the island and surprise, surprise, we didn’t have to walk much. Okay, we “cheated” a bit since we took a van to and from Chek Jawa but hey, we had a pregnant lady with us so we couldn’t possibly let her walk all the way in, right? Haha.

Thank goodness for the van. I think I’d have died of mosquito bites if we had to walk. For some reason, the mozzies seemed to like me a lot. Grrrrr… The trip was fun but unfortunately we didn’t get to see much marine creatures due to the high tide. The only animals we saw were some miserable tiny mudskippers. Oh well, it beats nothing I guess.

I just finished doing the laundry and it was back-breakingly horrible, I tell you! Usually it’s done by my mum but she’s gone to Genting for a holiday so my sister and I had to take over. Now I understand how tedious it is to have to wash your clothes by hand every single day. The washing machine is invented for a friggin’ reason, you know! But hey, my mum’s coming back today. At last! Muahahaha!

Oh yes, the new season of the English Premier League starts today. Football’s back again!
