When Mom feels loved!
Happy Mothers’ Day!
Hope every mom felt extra loved by their children on this day. 
My big family had a gathering for my eldest Aunt’s birthday too so that explains why there’s so many cakes and people (the kids are as hyper and cute as usual). Haha. I personally treated my mom lunch at Crystal Jade last weekend for advanced celebrations already though.
We are one big family~
This is so last year but I really love the family pictures so I decided to just post it up. 
So everyone, how was your Christmas 2010? Here’s mine, with my big family. One of the rare occasions to meet up, since we don’t usually celebrate it. Haha. Check out the ladies power man! Woots!
Yup, I know I have a super big family but I guess that’s what makes the whole event more rowdy isn’t it? Except that I wish there were more kids to play with. Haha.

Everything is just a show
Have I mentioned before that I am a learned optimist? A forced optimist? I was not born with positive thinking nor my thinking was being influenced positively. In fact, ever since young, I have to face my own problems all by myself because no one else will be able to help unless I make the effort to do so.
It was not until when I matured a little and realized that what I have been doing in the past were the shadows of someone else who was (maybe still is, but I am not sure any more) important to me. I was sensitive; vulnerable and inferior and it probably had caused problems to those around me during that time too. I don’t usually smile, let alone laugh and that made me more miserable because I even felt inferior to smile even if it is my right to do so.
I hated that part of me really badly. I hated it so much that I hope it did not even happened before, but I know… what all these negativity has brought me to. It brings me forward; forces me to look straight and live life as what I want to be.
I don’t have the right to say “Life sucks” because I know it does not, even though there’s always the down times in life, it does not matter as long as I am breathing and living without regrets.
You know what? Maybe it is how the upsetting times that make me feel more for being happy.
Sometimes, I just don’t know how to tell those who are held dearly to my heart… Can you be happier? Can you don’t speak negatively? Can you give me some air to breathe? Can you please don’t pollute my thinking of the world is actually lovable? Can you please love life more?
Can you love yourself?
Do you know how much I am hurting inside when I hear what you said and how you feel even though what you might be going through is not as though as you thought it is?
Do you know how much effort I have to put in, in order to hold myself and contain all my emotions so that I will not break down in front of you?
Do you know you are really an important part of my life?
I am sorry that I acted angry at you and let you think that I don’t understand you at all and maybe I don’t even have the right to be angry. You have all the rights to be angry at me but you don’t have the right to make yourself miserable and let others dictates your emotions.
I am sorry that I can’t figure out how to tell you what I am feeling right now…
And you won’t even read this.
Home made sushi!
The simple joy of life is nothing more than this…
Being able to do the things you like with the people you love, this is why I love life.
IKEA Meatballs + Chicken wings
Chicken wings + Salmon main course
Chicken main course + Meatballs
Yuppppppppppppp. It’s my monthly meet up with dears again! This time round, we went to IKEA at Queensway to eat their specialties that I have been hearing a lot of people ranting about!
Great food with great company is the greatest enjoyment of all, though we all seem tired (either from work or somewhere else, I don’t know) in some sense, it’s still good to see them again! Haha. I am talking as if we are not meeting anymore when there is another family gathering in next coming weekend. =p
I felt like we ordered too many chicken dishes (chicken drumstick main course & chicken wings) but luckily the lovely chickens did not disappoint me. They are just plain awesome; tender and juicy. Yum yum yum. Of course, last but not least the legendary meatballs that everyone around me has a fetish of it. A mixture of pork & beef with scoops of mushroom sauce and soft potatoes. WOOTS. As for the salmon main dish, I didn’t really like it much due to its stronger ginger smell (it’s the sauce that ruins it all). I am sure going back to eat these when I have the chance, too bad IKEA branches are way too far for me (one at Tampines and another at Queensway). 
Anyway, Huka was away to Hong Kong and she bought us this…
Souvenirs from Macau from Huka
Speaking of Hong Kong, I might be accompanying my dear mother to her company trip to Hong Kong in August. I am kind of paranoid about it though, since I most probably will be starting school in August. More updates in later dates!
Anyway, after stuffing ourselves with all the delicacies on the table, we went to West Mall to take Ying’s newest Blackberry phone from Hello! store. See her happy face!
she & her new bb
It seems to me that everyone in Singapore is using either iPhone or Blackberry; actually, most people use iPhone in Singapore as compared to other countries where Blackberry is more widely used. Due to the mundane entertainment life in Singapore, we spend more on electronics like laptop, phones and et cetera to cover our lack of social life. Well, the only social life we have here is social networking sites like Facebook and the only way people will communicate is also through networks like MSN when we have the phone which one of its functions is to call.
Blah.
Back to track. We decided to catch Shrek Forever After in Eng Wah Cinemas since we were there already, despite the steep movie tickets price. And this is what happened when we girls have too much time to kill…
Monopoly Deal!
Instructions on How To Play
Monopoly faces M_M
MONEY FACEEEEEEEE $_$ (of course this is not how we played it)
My first time playing this! It’s kind of fun but I think there should be more people playing it, the more the merrier and the funnier! Could be the best game for camps (PSP junior committee, hear this? Go get this deck and I am going to crash the camp!) HEEHEEHEE!
Oh, about Shrek Forever After, I am kind of excited to see quite a number of Asians’ names on the list of crew. Haha, that’s not the main point. Anyway, this movie… is quite… funny, which I like but I think there lacks of something that sparks to make me feel “WOW”, BUT I STILL LOVE SHREK NO MATTER WHAT!
As we all know, feature films like this are usually created with a message to convey to audience, this time round it is about “knowing to cherish”.
Yeah, too many people complains too much and they never seem to understand that what they have now is what that is most important to them, until they lost it. Movies are created, endings are created, scenes can be tweaked. However, this is not the case in life. Once you lose it, you might lose it once and for all.
Once again, I want to send this message to everyone who is reading this post. Cherish your life, your friends, your family. Love life <3!
