Who would have thought a day spent in Dullsville could turn out be quite fun?

It all began on a Saturday afternoon. Apparently, for some conspiratorial reasons, nothing on any channel on Saturday afternoons was remotely close to entertaining.

Perhaps they thought that would drive people out of their homes and into the streets of Orchard. But not my family, to my sad realisation.

Sis was once again hogging the com, claiming that it was for school work, which always, always I say again, turns out to be yet another gunbound session.

Mum was kareoke-ing, again. Over and over she sang like nails roaming across blackboard, with us squirming from discomfort from time to time. So I guess that means nap's out.

Resultantly from my plight, I felt I had as much things to do as a prisoner in solitary confinement. Nearly driven to the state to playing thumb wrestling with both my thumbs, I did the uninmaginable.


What a DUMP! Oh wait, it's my dump. LOL!


Voila. Spick and span!

With regards to the questions I see hanging in the air above your heads, yes and no respectively. Yes, I did all the packing up myself. Shame on you for doubting me! And no, I wasn't hexed or forced at gun point. LOL!

Yet to say packing up would be relatively misleading in this case.


First find a empty drawer.


Then filled it up. Problem solved. ^^

However I did went through some, no matter how little, of the paper you saw okay! 'Cause there ain't enough space to accomodate everything, so some of it had to go. Hopefully I didn't throw out anything I will live to regret.

On a seperate note, crushing paper you deemed useless and swearing at the same time can be highly therapeutic. Now there's one less reason for ladies to go on extravagent shopping sprees, not that there's a need for a reason in the first place.

With even the most dreaded thing done, not even half the afternoon has passed. My mum by then had stop her singing and looked nearly as bored as I was.

She then suggested that we have game of mahjong, but she failed to grasp the essentials of the game. You'll need a mahjong set! How in hell can we play mahjong without mahjong set! Lol!

Fearing that senility might get to mum, I took out a deck of cards and decided to teach her how to play Die-Dee. Yes, all poly students are required to bring their student ID, attain at least 75% attandence for all modules and know how to play Die-Dee.

Upon seeing the deck of cards which were a gift from my aunt, she stared quizzingly at it for a little too long before she pop the question "Isn't that a bar of soap?". OMFG! It was fucking hilarious! It even broke the gunbound-trance my sis was in!


Please enlighten me. Which part of it looks remotely like a soap? LOL!

After laughing our lungs out, I carried on teaching my mum the ropes of the game. Initially it was hopelessly frustrating as she keeps forgeting what I've said.

As the numbers of games under her belt increased, the rules kinda burned into her mind and that was when the real fun begins! It was not long before the excitement spread over to my sis and she joined in.


From her look you can tell she won. A fluke I say!


And how did my mum win you might ask. Ask my sis, AKA mum's accomplice. BOO!


What does it leave us? A very very pissed me! Kidding!

It pretty much took us through the rest of the afternoon (Thank god!) and before we knew it, it was dinner time!


Wipe that drool off the corner of your lips!

Just before my sis came back with the takeouts, Siqi sms-ed and asked me out for prata. You know me, spinelessly easy-going. So a quick dinner later, I was on the way to meet up with her.

The prata trip you've all heard about but never see before!

The venue this time round was choosen by Siqi, or to be more exact, her kid sis. Somewhere in Jurong, between this street and the next, in some god forsaken corner, there laid the prata shop! Time for supper!


Our supper!


Look how oily! Eee!


Teh-o spokesman!

After our scrumptious meal, or their their scrumptious meal to be exact, as I only had teh-os, we went off to meet up with Siqi's kid sister's friends. *Pants* Funny I didn't quite catch her name even though we were bullshiting and bullying Siqi the whole time!

Her friends looked no older than say what, 15 or 16? Their presence made me and Siqi realise that we are getting old. And it's not a pleasent feeling some might add.

Me and Siqi's seemingly mindless small talk eventually evolved to a conversation with depth(Supprised? I have depth too okay!), involving our plans for the future and our goals in life.

You may say it's crap, I'll understand. Not everyone thinks beyond what are they gonna do next weekend.

Anyway, it was too bad midnight was nearing and everyone had to go. Time flies when you're having fun eh?

To sum it all up, I had a splendid time. Hopefully there's more to come, or my holiday will really be insufferable!

There as promised, a post with lotsa pictures and as little cerebral stuff as possible!
