Night out with the Girlies and Teck

Night out with 2 girlies and 1 half girlie Was a night out with girlies and Teck (our jie mei haha) from work last night.. kinda sianz to stay on to finish work..and well since Teck needed to head down to Chinatown area for some work related matters.... we decided to head to Chinatown for dinner...

I kinda am confident or rather..am not too bad at parking already.. BUT i have yet to try parallel parking -other then parallel parking in the driving center with 4 poles... so yupz.. my parking skills were put to test last night...

there wasnt available slots and so..since we spotted a parallel parking slot...and well they were "encouraging" me to try parking it....and so... i went for it even though both the front and back lots were Lorry.. haha

Was a real tight one.. i would say..and scary too..stressful.. but well thank God the nice uncle from the lorry behind kinda stayed on just to help me get my car parked.. "turn..turn somemore...slowly... good"- his comments kinda comforted me more..hahaha Thanks Nice Uncle..

so ya.. my 1st parallel parking..so we went over to maxwell to eat...and walked thru a temple with many many lanterns... (and that's where i took the above pix... taken from my trusty W810i phone.. haha) and hmm kinda realised that the "Lantern Festival" -as i like to put it... went by without me really realizing it.. me never play lanterns this year..never eat my favourite champagne Truffle mooncakes tooo.. =( So i die die must eat Champagne truffles mooncake next year... hahaha

so yup...dinner was at maxwell.. and then i sent them home... I used to think that.. being a guy is quite cham.. cos got to be gentlement and send frens (girls or guys) home if u got car...and then..the Cham part is the making ur way home on your own...

Why cham (poor thing)?? cos.. Silly goose here.used to be fearful of being alone at night...scary ma..-of the unknown, of Chi-ko-peks (dirty old man) etc etc...so although i look independent to all and always go home late... I secretly Thank God for my frens who are sweet and nice to send me home...wake me up..(for the very reason that I am scared of things i cant see more then the things i can see)...

But well.. that fear kinda phased out in life since Uni days...when late nights out in school studying becomes the norm... so ya.. come what may.. i became the independent..nothing to be scared of Sophia...cos I know.. that no matter what... there's always someone around me...and that's my Heavenly Father... who sends his angels to protect me.. =)

So yupz.. after sending them home.. i made my way home.. singing praise songs and enjoying the 'being alone' moments, and the time i managed to talk to God and just allow him to talk to me... such ride home was great... and I am definitely looking forward to more of this in future.. =)3

Anywayz... am picking the Lovable Boy up from causeway later...(He's coming back today) YIPEE!!!!

Day 4 VBC

Campfire Night at VBC (day4-05.06.08)

Day 4 of camp..and I was in camp..slept at 3am after settling some silly dispute amongst the girls about Green peas.. hahah and woke up at 8am!!! super lack of sleep.... anywayz.. the pic above is a shield done by my team... and here are the slippers i did up.. when we did the "armor of God" activity....

And guess what's new?? hahah my Team won again... lala (gosh why do i sound abit hao lian here?) hehe but I am proud of my team... seen some changes in the way they talk among each other as the days went by.. increase encouragement amongst them too... so happy....

Anywayz.. highlight for the day was the "campfire Night"... well we were in a chalet over at changi side..and so.. we were technically Not allowed to have a fire so to say....but.. we did have a great and fun Campfire evening...

Smoky one to be exact.. kiddos had sparkles to play with and we have a nice "campfire".. done by my smart and innovative and creative boss..(hmmm if he ever happen to see this blog of mine..haha..let's hope this will add more points to my appraisal..)

Here's the fire he did up..and that's why i say he is super creative...No real fire... but still effect created gives the same feel... and yupz.. staff put up a performance..and well of cos silly few of us were in the performace... Uncle Bee and me even did commercials to entertain everyone when it was "free time".. lala

Anywayz... campfire ended...and we had part 2 to the evening... it was a walk to nearby "interesting" places... went with the kiddos to some abandoned house..and also OCH... but well din managed to walk thru OCH, as the police came... and when we went back to chalet...

Mummy and Kailin wanted to go to the abandoned house that we went to.... so off we went.....

haha and silly Haz..kept wanting to take picture to see if there will be any mysterious extra person appearing or not... lalala...

apparently not...anyway.. this pic is soo nicely taken..cos we all look soo nice in there.. but a little tired, and oily from our BBQ and also the whole day of running around.... oh wellz.. since the next day we were breaking camp.. and i had captains ball again..... i went back to GH and stayed over at Kailin's place...

We (9 of us: squeezed into the fully packed with equipment van) and every other vehicle that was driving next to us literally was staring into our vans la... hahah

Haz and me Uncle Bee and MeAnd all the nicely packed sadines in the van..

Crazy, delinquent night out

How to make yourselves at home when you're not

Me, KL and Haz at Novena Square.. when the shops were all closed....

It was super Sianz at work today.. and so the girlies decided to head to somewhere to feast, or shop or just slack and chill....so we decided to head to Novena Square... Settled for dinner over at Fish and Co..

Our feast.. the usual Sea Food Platter for 2

Kailin and Haz

After dinner it was off to doing crazy and silly things... was supposed to find a place to chill.. but we found an even better place to do some stuffs and chill and really do some serious "camwhoring".....

Kailin and Me

peeps probably would think we were some delinquents...

And then it was off to take "MTV" shots at the escalator..

And that was all.. a crazy fun night... that' wat you get when u have 3 very stressed and 3 very "game to do silly and crazy things" together peeps together... and once again.. all the pics were taken by my trusty w810i

And whenever u're bored and dunno what to do... can always try wat we did and where we went...
