Halloween!

Its the 31st of October.. Its Halloween!!Chee Mei and I got 'dragged' into a Ghost Tour by Johnny :P we initially didnt have any plans, so we thought.. what the heck.. just go for it...We kinda expected SCARYYY stuff, or at least something to jump up and scare you, but it was mainly story telling, some gruesome, some historical, a few ghostly... not what i expected, but it was alright i guess...After that, went back to my flat to lepak.. Khek tjian was there too, apparently, not studying :PWe were kinda in a restless mood so not in a mood to study or sleep :P
Here's some pics and videos to show wat was happening in flat 4/6 on Halloween...

Buzz Lightyear and Woody!Duck in disguise?! haha.. more like a 'walking box' -according to Chee Mei

Duck in Disguise' s pants is falling... khek tjian helping him hold the box up...A bunch of multicolored grapes?

Supposedly the tin man from Wizard of Oz..Watch the dancing tinman!



This is called beer pong.. where beer is poured into a funnel into the drinkers mouth.. notice the lion and the tinman in the background..


We played ping pong on the dining table and used used glasses as the net! played for a few hours i think @_@

Khek, Louise (Theo's French friend), and me!

Food! (more)

So proud of this... Sheppard's pie.. doesnt it look yummy.. thats because it is!! muahaha... so golden brown :') our first time was a success!

Tau yu pork with potatos... the potatoes were so yummy! i wanted it to be blacker... chee mei likes it light.. so we took the middle route, and it looks brown..

My fried rice! with lamb cutlets at the side... not bad :P.. pic a bit blur -_-

We had a flat dinner sometime ago..
some of us actually sat down together that sunday and shared our meals :D there was salmon too.. and our tau yu pork....

More food coming soon! ;) (getting lazier and lazier to cook though... :P)

Wind instruments..

My flat is notorious for noisy blowing instruments... come weekend nights, suddenly the loud horn can be heard across Kincaid's Court.. and it came from my flat.. :P

so.. we've got a horn.. one loud horn...
and if thats not enough.. these smart ppl know how to improvise... see the pipe thingy on the floor.. thats right.. Instrument no. 2

Meet the latest addition to the family... a... not sure wat u call it.. tribal blowing instrument thingy.. emits a low pitch farting sound... It was Jack's present from flat 4/6 guysalso... u see a bottle... they see.. another musical instrument... blow the top of the bottle to produce a single note...

Together... they make weird music... really amusing to watch the 'band' play... too bad i didnt catch it on camera.. ;)

Happy bday Wong Cyn Er

Envy... Wish i could be there to celebrate tooo.. at least bro is there :D eating on my behalf :D
Happy bday! Big girl d;) muacks....

Fall...

This was taken early autumn.. when trees were still green, and it was still sunny :D



Its mid autumn.... you see beautiful red/peach/orange trees, leaves turning golden, carpeting the whole ground... the nice crunchy sound you hear when u step on the carpet of leaves... yes.. you see me.. smiling happily in that picture with beautiful autumn trees in the background...

What you don't see is the STRONG cold wind (can blow khek tjian away), freezing and wet wet wet weather.... brrrr.... temperatures are definitely dropping.. time to wear more layers!
well.. at least i havent noticed any hailstorm in edin, unlike in glasgow..described by Naomi as "raining sago"

Kafe Batu Keras

Bro was chosen for a presentation of a clinical case (it was a competition) and he won! so 'geng'...
and as an excuse to celebrate, he belanja-ed me makan in

HardRock Cafe !!!!! my first time :D

It was absolutely crowded and we were told to wait for 40 minutes, which we agreed to spend that time taking pics!








Me with the guitar from Incubus!


The food was AMAZING! the portion was huuuge! Bro ordered this burger with pork, bacon, ham, and cheese in bbq sauce -totally overflowing with Meat!!! Muauauhahahahha.... yum yum
I had BBQ ribs N Chicken!
After all that, i really thought i would burst from being too full... It wasnt cheap, but soo good to eat good western food once in a while :)

a one of a kind souvenir from hardrock cafe! Such a cool pin! limited edition... soo nice....

Ivy's Bday!

We celebrated at Biblo's after an evening of shopping!
Just drop some pics lah!

Flat 4 / 6 ... can see the hand gestures? ehhe
cool effect of the moving bus!

Tennis days

Just to show you where we play tennis:

Walk through the beautiful Meadows: (i think it will look absolutely lovely in its autumn-y red look)
Beautiful green field with sooo many trees, on sundays u can see lil kids training up their football, and even little gal's teams are there too... so cool..
It is a MASSIVE place with about more than 10 tennis courts in that area.. We t r y to make it a point to place every week ;P

Things we do in flat 4/6:

1. Rear goldfish (not allowed)


meet anne frank and himmler (hitler's right hand man)

2. Bring outside furniture into the common room (apparently a fire hazard)

3.Play ping pong on dining tables using beer cans as net (they come up with weird rules so we call it six pong, named after our flat)

4.Play football tennis
rule: the ball can only bounce once on the side of ur court/floor

5. Aim/throw little yellow plastic pellets into glass cups from 2 m... i won 2 pounds cos Theo bet i couldn't do it!


6. do crosswords and sudoku together (so random)

I'm growing up?

On some days, I feel like i'm turning into one of those independent ladies, doing things i never do at home:

1. I've been cooking and grocery shopping

2. I've been hand washing my clothes (muscles aching from squatting for long periods and lugging heavy buckets of water @_@)

3.I've been sewing! (hole in bro's sock, bro's torn ties)

Well... that's actually all i can think about..

And becoming more active too:

1. I'm in the ping pong team (got matches everyweek against old men and training too.. hopefully i'll start winning -_-)

2.I'm playing the violin more than i do at home, whenever i'm in my room and not studying.. Joining the uni orchestra too, if i can cope :)

3.Occasionally play tennis and use the gym, when i'm not lazy

In conclusion, Without Television and dramas and a kakak, i'm living a healthier, more active and independent life!

"Ying, we want to tell you something. You are the coolest girl we've ever met" hehe..
