Gabz Bdae!!
yoyo~~ sorry ppl out there who have been waiting for this post. Sorry, I was rushing my design stuff. Ok, here there are!!
Last sat, the class guys (ah ba didnt go in the end) and jo went arcading and bowling in the afternoon til evening. Mei joined them but left already when I reached Olio in Suntec. I was involved in project discussion at sch lor~ And still rushed home again to get my camera cos I forgot to bring out earlier on. See! so Yong4 Xin1 Liang2 Ku3. So from here onwards i haf photos... I think Venki's Hp got alot of photos lor! Alot of funny snapshots. Venkie! Muz not delete them ok!!
At Olio, by the time my salad came, the rest finished their food... Soon we asked gab to guess his present. In end he still couldnt, but weimin pass the 'Big' present to him to open. A set of Ayumi's MTV!!!! awwwwww~~~~~ i oso wan to see the mtvs~~ haha. Here's a shot at gab opening the present:
Ok, this is stage one cleared. For the next station I suggested to go Crepes and Cream in Citylink Mall (yes jo, u dun need to announce my mistake of calling it the other way round...haha~~ so paiseh!)becos I got the voucher! Eat at least 30 bucks and u get 20 bucks off! good deal huh. So we went there. I haf "berry-in-love" which dunno y so many jokes on it.... snapshots going ard by venki with his camera hp.... hey, wat's with my Berry-in-love and dragging Venki into the picture?
The 5 other guys ordered Superbowl, with 8 scopes of ice-cream...
A zoom-in of the superbowl
Too tall until Selly had to stand up to eat... Haha~
Jovie shy ar....
Venki is so happy to be taken in photograph. Jo, muz learn from Venki more ok~~ haaha
Finally the 'Surprise' we ordered for gab came!! 3 scopes of ice-cream with 2 of them wrapped in wafer~~ haha~ wat a 'surprise' Anyway, we sang song lalaala~~
ok~~ Photo of everyone~
hahaha, the guys continue to eat their superbowl... they crowded ard the bowl like vultures!! haha~
Gab feeling very full liao, so some of us help him eat too~~ This is the mess resulted!
Finally we paid the bill and continued to sit there and chit chat. Duno why suddenly the guys mentioned pra-ta. den bra-ta. so I suddenly juz chipped in without knowing wat is going on and said "Blanta!" (the name of the traditional butter used for baking). This made everyone laffed.... esp. Weikun. In fact we were laffing at him becos he laffing... He broke into uncontrollable 5 minutes of laughter... until his tears come out.... here's the evidence.
hahaha~~~~ That's abt it~~~
hmm~ Each 61 gathering always lift me off from work stress... hope hols will come soon~~
hey so happening!! and aiyah.. julie ah... in case u dun know... itz called planta... the margarine rite... =P hahahahha~~
more to come wif a few other bdayz coming up~~ =) hope u guyz and gals enjoy urselves =) so miss having class outings...
hee.. finally the photos are out... nice nice... when u are free, send me all the pictures can? thx.. hee... This year, we start to bring camera for every celebration.. good good.. :o)
ed.. u come back loh.. then can join the class outings le...
Next up, mei's bday! :o)
haha..those are some nice funny pics... the great "planta" laughter was the ultimate :P
oh planta? ok... thanks Mr know it all~ haha.... ya lor, u come back faster than can join the class liao.
Jo ar, i haf all the photos for many events since i got the cam. I haf a large collection. Which ones u wan u tell me~
hehee, venki, now then u know i am the ultimate!! heehee~~~ how i know i tio lottery and strike on his laughter cord so accurate. still until now, i dunno wat's so funny abt Planta....
there is nothing funny about planta but it is the context which u said it
context? wat context?
the what the...? how come suddenly become planta? out of the blue comment kind of context...if u know wat i mean..like pple talk abt playing cards suddenly become "hey, i got a flash!"(suppose to be flush) yah yah?
ah ok i get ur point. but didnt expect the out-of context- to bring forth such dramatic reaction.
hmm...like wat wk said himself, u must b in his shoes to understand...if u are not in the same situation, the joke is notfunny lah
