A beautiful weekend!!
It has been a nice weekend~~ On Saturday, the sixoneders had an outing in Live Music Cafe at marina square vicinity. Well, sort of celebrating jovie's bdae and also getting the chance to pass yock her belated pressies from us haha...a long time since we all went out together huh~~
I didnt sleep much before the outing cos the whole night was trying to make boxes to hold the pressies. First time doing them and trying to imitate those that are sold in those gift shops.... and bought wrapping papers from I-Print shop located at Citilink. so I got pretty excited during the process... yock had a pink one while jo had a purple one. wanna see my product?? hehe...
and now the purple
I am thinking maybe i shld start making boxes to sell.... 3-5 bucks each? depending on size i guess... hehe~~ Julie box shop is at ur service, do place ur orders!! haha~~ ok, back to the outing. Cai Li Lian really has a good voice n we stayed til 11:15 plus pm. Mich left earliest, den yock, and finally the rest of us. I love the special drink we ordered. A nice citrus (yock said it tasted like yakult) taste and have pearls and jellies inside!!! Awww, i love the pearls!! And it has been a long time since I ate them... when is the last time i had bubble tea?? hmm... seems years ago.
Anyway we took a few photos in the cafe: (oo btw, these pics are reduced to smaller size, so if anyone needs larger version, msn me ok~)
1. the 5 ladies~
2. ok this one rite... the gals purposely wan my head to be the biggest in the photo cos jovie kept complaining her head is big.... so my face got the most part of the flash, giving me a white wash over my face, and the rest didnt get the light. this is sooo weird... i look totally like a cut and paste picture on them. I had a sleepish grin and look cos i was thinkning it would turn out looking crap. I tried to reduce the light on my face and this is the best i can do for now :)
3. all right, me and yockie. They said i didnt smile... are u sure ornot. see carefully, i did!!!~~ I aint acting as a 冰山 lady who doesnt smile haha~~
4. Jovie, me, yock, and weimin all ordered the same drink. the special drink. aww so delicious looking arent they~~
5. ok the guys~~ 3 of the guys turned out for this outing... and they are still trying to escape from my camera as usual except yk who is sporting enuff to give his smile for photos. that's the way mah~~
Weimin drove us back with his 'schoolbus' again~~ yay~~ thanks wm~~ lol we girls are so noisy at the back... with mei being too hyper due to sleepiness and me being too nonsensical due to sleepiness... so ended up jovie laughing and crapping with us all the way until we left. Oh the guys juz let themselves entertained by us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday, I aint spared from having fun! Mei and I decided to shop this afternoon at Far east plaza and thankfully enuff, the sky gave its grace and brought us nice cool non-rainy weather after the morning shower. And we 2 combed the disorientated shops for hours and we are both glad we bought something. I cleared 3 items from my list while Mei is happy with her half-bodied cardigan. hmm i dunno how or wat to call or name that kind of cardigan..there shld be a name for that type of style. Pretty sad when I realised many of the shops i knew before were gone and replaced by new brands and owners...
Outing, shopping and gaming. wonderful weekend, aint it? :)
dont know if u walk around marina square but that place changed a lot also
lol of cos of cos!
i walk abt some parts of it le~ juz now at the moment no time to look see the whole area.
hmm..but its a lot neater now! and more shops ba..
