stuffed w food!

i dunno when is breakfast, lunch or dinner anymore...seems like i have been eating ALL day long ever since i came back...

food for e past few days:

food for today: lunch @ old airport road was a mixture of char kuay teow, hokkien mee, my fave yam paste dessert (orh3 ni2 w gingko nuts!), & crispy curry puff....and had dinner @ Punggol Seafood restaurant ( located at Marina Country Club), which was simply yummylicious! first time eating CHILLI CRAB in 5+ mths, and i give thumbs up to their famous mee goreng, spicy hot chilli kangkong, claypot beancurd, gong bao chicken, fried youtiao and man tous!

e best part of e nite was strolling along e nearby jetty w my family after dinner...was amazed at e night scene...quiet, undisturbed, peaceful....spore can be realli beautiful too...if u stop and take a look around u...

catching up w old pals...

afternoon: went to anqi's house...lazed about...i kind of like e feeling....=) we just sat on e sofa, and flipped thru our secondary photo album...had a good laff over our unglam photos....looking back, i can't believe we had such thick make-up for our prom night in rgs....it's so hilarious...and e tune of e dance we performed dat nite is still ringing in my head....and we BOTH can't remember our dance partners....someone pls enlighten us! (was mine dawn?!) find dat as i grow older, my memory's kind of failing...

as we looked at our class photo, we tried to recall e names of all our classmates in sec 109/209, and sec302/402... it's a strange feeling--- looking at a familiar face, and trying to exert every single brain cell to remember e name of e person...

evening: 7+pm...went to suntec for my bible study....on e way to suntec, i remembered e names of 3 of e classmates dat we couldn't recall earlier! excited, i smsed anqi!

9+pm...on e way home at city hall mrt...was on e escalator, when i heard someone calling my name....looked up and saw lynn on another escalator...such a coincidence! cos me and anqi were just toking abt her in e afternoon...hehe...i went to find her, and instead of taking my usual northeast line, i took east line with her....nice to see lynn after such a long long time...she's still e same old lynn koh, ever so cheerful, happy... =)

while walking back home, somehow i felt happy inside... it's a nice feeling... =)

tau huay is back!

bye bye stockholm...a place tat i will alwiz have fond memories of... thank u for everything...for e peace, love and joy tat u have brought into my life...for bringing me closer to nature, and making me realize the simplicity and wonders of God's beautiful creations... for making me love my loved ones even more...for making me realize that i am stronger than i think i am... =)hello spore! it's been a long long way back home....2 hrs of flight delay at stockholm to bangkok... 14kg backpack,1 ultra heavy xiang1 ba1 lao3 bag with my laptop inside, and my food bag, battling with a queasy stomach...(e airport staff looked at my backpack :"this is massive!", e air stewardness commented "where have u been??!")....by e time i took e transit flight fr bangkok to spore, like eliz, i felt totally exhausted...sat down and drifted to sleep...jet lag...and nauseous fr e airflight meals (felt like i was being served meals all e time...."chicken w fried rice or egg w sausage, m'dm?")... when i regained consciousness, i suddenly heard e announcement to fasten our seat belts, cos we will be landing in "changi airport, spore"...when i heard "changi airport", it felt so familiar, i couldn't believe my ears...suddenly felt so excited dat i forgot my queasy stomach and all e weariness fr carrying my luggage...adrenaline! looked out of e plane window, and saw ships, stretches of reclaimed land, buildings, and finally e plane landed!....

when i went to e belt to collect e luggage i had checked in, I SAW MY FAMILY thru e glass panal, waiting for me at e gate!! i couldn't stop smiling when i saw everyone waving frantically at me, melon, my mother, my grandma, my dad, my bros... it was e most heartwarming sight and e best welcome gift for me...=) and when i saw eliz hugging twinkle (her cute dog!) so happily, i felt happy for her too =)

highlights! 1) my elder bro drove me back in his new car! 2) FOOD! (had cai4 fan4 for lunch! and my mum plus grandma bought me so many slices of cakes of all flavours for tea time cos i have a sweet tooth =)...dinner was yong tau foo w bee hoon soup, my fave! and oso ate some curry even though my stomach was still queasy...hehe...) 3) melon placed a little pot of "plant" on my desk, and e leaves wud move up and down when there's a light source...couldn't stop smiling! 4) lying on MY bed! 5) seeing my beloved ee-yores and giving them a big hug! 6) going to, yes, HEARTLAND mall w melon, and it was enuff to make me happy! even walking about in cold storage made me happy.... 7) WATCHING TV...i've been deprived from TV for 5+months! so imagine me switching channels delightfully thru e whole nite, SCV channels : 54, 51 [MTV channel], 52, 3 [Channel 8!], 9 [ Channel U!]...i shud subscribe to MOB TV... 8) sleeping in my parents' air con room...haha...my room's too messy now! What I've been doing for e past two days-
Day 1, 19th june, Monday: helped my Dad w laundry, and he bought me a char siew bao and tau huay for breakfast! den went shopping, had a free haircut courtesy of e star of e year, and had a nice chit chat session w my good old pal, anqi!! came back home and had another chit chat session w my mum for more than 2 hours....
Day 2, 20th june, Tuesday: chit chat w my mum again, and we went orchard to shop!! she bought me a nice pair of sandals...thank u mummy! =) hehe...ate sakae sushi @ HMV for lunch, and Old Chang Kee yam puff for tea break, and bee hoon hor fun for dinner....tv at nite, and trying to clean my messy room (was engaged in a battle w red ants that have settled down in my room during my 5+mths absence....i need to find their hiding place!!! FAST!)...

if u all have a solution for me to deal w e red ants invasion, or for those who simply miss me (haha), my phone line has been restored so just drop me an sms or something! =)

okies, gotta go now!
lotsa luv, tauhuay

i'm going home!

tauhuay is officially sick---threw up and had diahorrea yesterdae... for THREE times, 6+am, 7+am, and 12+ at noon time... ever since i was hospitalized for viral fever in secondary 3, i have neva vomitted since then....u can imagine how miserable i felt yesterdae having to vomit 3 times....=( think it's either food poisoning or accumulated tiredness fr e 2 weeks trip)

was even contemplating on postponing my flight back to spore...as i sat down at my desk, my whole body just felt weak, and i couldn't even move an inch...even had to msn eliz to bring warm honey water to my room...when she came, my tears just kept rolling down...

a sick me still had to pack, weigh my luggage...(check out my messy room, collage: upper left)pack my box of stuff to ship back (collage: upper right)...i seriously felt like giving up...worst still, me and eliz had to lug e boxes to ship back to e nearby supermart+post office....i had to stop every 2-3 min for walking cos e box was realli heavy (12kg), and i seriously thot i wud just faint on e spot...for a short stretch, eliz actualli helped me carry my box, while i took over her boxes, which were lighter...somehow, the scene of e small size eliz carrying my huge and heavy box realli touched me...

e next hurdle was closing my bank account at T-centralan...each 20 steps i took made me feel faint and nauseous....had to sit down whenever i could find a seat (e subway, even while waiting for eliz to buy food fr e supermart, i sat down at dis stool near some construction area w a security guard nearby)...at e bank, there was a long queue and as i sat down, i felt terribly uncomfortable...eliz was asking me "r u ok" for more than 10 times i think...

after e bank acc closing, i made my way back to e hostel, while eliz went to settle some admin stuff...i felt like i was floating in e air, and gonna faint anytime...every 10 steps i took, i had to squat down...i must have looked super unglam squatting down outside Cuban, BK, and KICKS...and even standing on escalators made me feel faint...when i finally got back to e hostel, i thanked God for his good grace, and plopped on e bed to zzz...

woke up, and spoke to my family + melon over e webcam...somehow, felt much better after dat...den i tried to pack e remaining stuff on my table...and at 5pm, i went back to sleep again cos i was feeling feverish...popped 2 anarex and zzz...at 12 midnight, woke up and felt hot...went back to zzz...and when i woke up, it was 4+am...din eat anything e whole of yesterdae except for e warm honey drink dat eliz made for me...

went to e kitchen just now, and found a pot of porridge w corn+mushrooms dat eliz cooked for me, and a pot of crysanthemun tea dat sharon's bf cooked....so just finished eating and drinking them...feeling a bit nauseous now...but i've got to start cleaning my room (which will be inspected), and finish up e packing....e cab dat is bringing us to e airport is coming at 11.30am....which means i have around 6 hrs before i leave for e airport...

hope things get better todae...cos i'm stronger than i think i am!
