My camera is amazing! We took this in a cinema as the lights were dimming. Omg.

We had to stay like that for a good 5 seconds, cos we set it to long shutter.

Anyway, I took a day off my temp job to attend the boyfriend’s convocation. Reached his home 8-ish. Watch him get ready for the ceremony!

Hwa!

Now he’s ready.

The happy graduate in his gown!

Managed to snap a photo of him going up on stage. (I say it like it’s just a snap but I had my camera positioned since the first “Ng” came up okay!)

Poor old professor had to chant out every graduate’s name as they went up on stage. Halfway through the ceremony he looked a lil’ buay tong already.

With Mr. and Mrs. Toad after the ceremony.

With Minnie!

Met my JC class people soon after for more phototaking! We walked all the way to ADM under the scorching sun. The price we pay for art. Sigh.

We took some very erm photos there. Witness.

NBS graduates erm, attaining nirvana.

Chong Han… being… erm… himself.

Mrs. Toad and I erm, hugging a tree.

Photo for comparison purposes. Us in Redang 3 years ago!

 

And presenting the cutest graduate of this year! Only for this year okay, because the cutest graduate of all time is me. I’ll only be claiming the title next year tho.

*squish squish!*

Sometimes I get embarrassed reading my own blog after reading those that are written so nicely. You know, stuff that the authors actually put effort into churning out. If you think I’m talking about you, yes I am - I believe brilliant people can communicate without the need to be explicit, har har. When I think about such things, I feel like actually you know, writing, instead of blabbering (e.g. now).

I have resolved to have proper conclusions to every post as if it was actually an essay! Okay, less talk, more photos. It’s 12:40 am and I have to be up at 7 am! Saturday was a bizzy day for a bizzy girl. Me, for the less intellectually inclined.

First up, went to my 5 year old cousin’s birthday party at some clubhouse for lunch.

The pool was damn cool! Seldom see such big pools around nowadays. My other relatives were planning on going to the pool after lunch, but I had to go off for the Ping 2nd anniversary party, so I couldn’t join them. Cue loud awwww.

I went as Big Bird. Note the resemblance.

It has nicer socks than me though (psst.. Sheylara has them too). I lose.

With Uray near the entrance of Fig & Olive for the anniversary party!

The photographer for the day, Claudia!

Neo and Arzhou.

Priss and Daphne.

Shervon, who was a total cutie! I want a daughter as cute as her too.

Some awards were presented…

They came in the form of erm, ping pong bats. Yeah. The award is not mine, in the (unlikely) event that people are mistaken.

I saw the cupcakes, and for lack of a better word, they were ILOVEITOMGITSSONICESOPRETTYSOYUMMY-licious!

Chio or what?! Caressa has a gift! And she needs to share it with me the world. RLY.

The full picture.

Then came the buffet. Food photos are the best! I feel happy just looking at them.

 

Credits to the Official Ping.Sg 2nd Anniversary Party Tray Opener and Holder, Uray Wong, without whom the pictures would not have been possible.

Before I forget, I have to declare that Krisandro, amidst all the hype about him being a Chao Ah Beng, is actually a total epic fail of a Beng.

This was the best beng eating pose he could muster. This! Wtfbbq! Molemole did a better job than him for goodness’ sake. Please hor! Don’t make other actual bengs embarrassed to be associated with you okay! And stop eating pudding! No real bengs worth their salt eat pudding. I can’t even begin to describe how un-beng pudding is.

Okay, last pointless and totally unrelated photo of the boyfriend and I on our friend’s car after the event.

Wait omg! I almost forgot my non-abrupt ending! No, the world hasn’t stopped turning. Pigs are not flying.

In conclusion, I had a great day that was filled with Forget it, the end. No wait, not the end yet! Important notice to everyone. I mean everyone.

This Is The Best Drink Ever

Teh Cino Ice. Try it! It totally trashes teh peng. Teh peng is to teh cino ice like Ginvera is to La Mer!

K, now it’s the end. Bye bye.

This post is gonna get a lil’ wordy, but trust me! Read! If not nice got refund.

The boyfriend and I went to Fort Canning Park after dinner because I wanted somewhere to sit and he wanted to be romantic.

We walked around for a while and checked out the cafe, etc, (very nice! very nice for weddings hahahahaa) and as we walked to the more ulu “park benchy” part of the park, we were approached by this old malay man.

He said,

Don’t go up the stairs! Police spot check. Got girl parking and parking!

Ok, right now is the time for you to go

WTFBBQ?

We did too. He continued,

Parking and parking! Naked!

This is the time a lightbulb should go off in your head. Ohhhhh.

Lightbulb in head.

People short tongue lah. He meant like fucking , only he pronounced it farking, and we both heard it as parking. D’oh.

If you think that was the climax of the story (oh, the pun), you are so wrong. The uncle recommended,

Go up there no good. Police catch. The bench here good. Young people like you need romance. Uncle knows. Here nobody watch. (note the last sentence)

We said a cheery “thank you”, and with that, he went down the stairs, and we went to the recommended bench to sit down. While we were chatting and MORE, hahahaha, we heard some ruffling in the bushes a distance ahead. We then saw this guy quite conspicuously walk behind a short tree.

I’m quite sure he found himself very discreet wtf, although we clearly saw him walk there. After he didn’t move for like 2 minutes, I told the boyfriend, “This is too weird already. Why no sound one? Let’s go.”

… and so we went off. While we were going down some ulu staircase, we heard footsteps catching up behind us and then…

*insert loud gasp*

it’s the uncle who recommended us the bench! He even said,

Why you go?

Walao! He recommended us the bench (which he claimed “HERE NOBODY WATCH”) and then made a huge turn after he went down the stairs to hide in the bushes in front of us hoping to spy on us!

Zzz I dunno what to say. I was quite traumatised then, but now I’m just half-disgusted and half-amused.

Post-note: Uncle quite lugi lor. Hide in bush for so long and didn’t even get to see any action HAHAHA. Who ask him kan cheong spider? We barely sat down for 3 minutes still talking only he walk into the bush already. Should wait longer then appear mah.

Today I sacrificed my uncle’s buffet gathering for the Ping.sg party organising committee’s final meeting. Yes, you heard right! It’s the final meeting. The party is officially less than a week away!

 
Before leaving the house.

Wait, don’t leave! This isn’t going to be a boring promotional post, oh no. It’s going to be an interesting…. promotional post. HAHA. I keed, I keed.

Hai. Even if I have never attended any Ping.sg gathering before and feel shy/awkward/etc I would still immediately sign up because of the food. Oh, food, glorious food.

There’s a lucky draw during the party too. Come come come! Click here to sign up for the party, and here to sign up for the after party outing to Timbre!

Okay, end of Ping.sg party stuff.

I took this photo with the macro function on my new Ixus 80!

Pretty right! These are my parents’ bougainvillas outside my home.

The boyfriend and I went to Bugis before the meeting, and we saw someone performing some sort of a dance. I am quite sure that it is Krisandro in his real form, on his part-time job. The white bubble shorts are unmistakable! It has to be him!

So this is why he missed the gathering… nevermind, Kris, I forgive you! You were quite entertaning, especially when you did the macarena S-shake wahahahaha. Next time don’t need to wear your disguise ok. You come out like this also can what. I won’t discriminate you… too much.

Long John Silver for a late lunch. The portions were quite terrible. The size of the chicken piece shrank to around half my palm’s size. Unforgivable!

It used to be unhealthy, but cheap and the quantity was adequate. Now it’s unhealthy and with measley portions, which means it’s not cheap anymore. Pui.

I realise I’m jumping from subject to subject and time to time very randomly, but eh, eh… *trails off and gets distracted by something else*

Romantic dinner with Kitty at Thai Accent at Vivo!

We both had their green curry, which tasted mild in the beginning but just got spicier and spicier with every sip.

So… people on dates must share desserts right? Else how to be romantic? We got a… something something with something and chesnut. Anyway. A pretty photo of it.

I’m inclined to think that my photography skills have skyrocketed, but I know it’s just my new camera taking these awesome shots.

Kitty realised something after we were done with our meals. Her plate on the left and mine on the right.

And I thought cats were clean! Hmmmmmmmmm.

I was so excited about the camera shopping today that I only managed to fall asleep at 7 am in the morning. Hur hur. It felt like the first time my daddy told me we were going on vacation.

We went to Sim Lim and walked round and round and round. Got quoted around $330 -$350 a few times, and then realised that the prices were before GST. D’oh.

Eventually we settled for a Canon Ixus 80 in Caramel at $380 nett inclusive of 4GB SD card, tripod, screen protector and a pretty coolios camera case.

Wendy is now a proud owner of this babe! Er, it looks a bit more champagne-coloured in real life… not so eh, pink.

We got a ultra-wide converter lens at $90 too. Dunno if we got ripped off or not… but should be ok lah.

A historically significant first photo of the boyfriend and I taken with this camera with the wide lens (which the boyfriend is crazy about)!

I was quite happy that the battery was charged hoho. No need to wait till I get home for photo taking! Went shopping for a bit for some work clothes for the boyfriend.

And where better to camwhore than fitting rooms!

I absolutely love the colours that this camera produce. The reviews were true; it doesn’t produce washed out photos at all! Everything looks so vibrant, especially when compared to my old Pentax Optio S6. *swoon!*

I attempted to take some artsy fartsy shots along the way.

Not bad for a complete amateur right? Hehe.

Wendy is happy overjoyed estatic elated EUPHORIC! Whee!
