Hey. As promised to my dearest future self, here's my post on Sunday.

(P.S This line, "man, fuck that shit" was stuck in my head the entire day, and I got it stuck in everyone else's, heh.)

I would also like to talk about today 'cause it was a pretty fun day.

But anyway, SUNDAY!

Grandfather woke me up, sounding all panicky and stuffs and saying that I was going to be late for church if I don't rush and stuffs, and I panicked, but it was only 8AM. And church starts at 10AM. And church is a 2 minutes walk away. SIGH.

But it was worth it 'cause DIM SUM BREAKFAST AGAIN!

The adults wanted us (Aaron and I) to compare between the two breakfasts we had on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's breakfast won by a wide margin, but Sunday's breakfast was still awesome.

We had siewmai, hargow and lo mai kai, and this huge ass bao that I can't find in Singapore. Bloody hell, it was so filling. And of course, tea.

Church was.. sleepy. Aaron and I had to sit behind 'cause the front rows were taken. Which sucks because the front two rows are the best. Contradictory to most front two rows in most churches. 'Cause it's on a lower platform and the speaker won't really look at you. Unless said speaker happens to be my grandfather/grandmother, then it's like being watched by a hawk.

I didn't fall asleep though, 'cause Elder Huang was the one delivering the sermon, and I love that man.

So after service ended, we had to wait for the adults to finish socialising, so Aaron went to fish,

and I went to look for my stray.

That stupid fella went missing for a day or two, 'cause he tried to chase my grandfather's car to somewhere far away, and he got hopelessly lost. He didn't have time to mark his territory and stuffs, so he couldn't sniff his way back. Sigh.

XIAOJING JIE ATTENDS OUR CHURCH NOW, oh joy <3 She's such an awesome person okay I love her to bits.

So anyway, my grandparents wanted to take Ruiqi jie's mum out to eat leicha (Shermaine says it's called Thunder Tea Rice in english but I'm not sure) and.. I was horrified 'cause it was full of veges, and nothing but veges.

I tried the soup and I choked. Grossest thing ever.

Anyway, I ate laoshu fen.

And Xiaojing jie came along, 'cause my gramps said we would be bored with all their old people talk, and of course he was right.

Also, looks can be horribly deceiving. I bought this 'cause it looked good, but it tasted weird. I don't know, the whole shop was weird. My grandfather finished this in the end.

Grandfather drove my grandmother and Ruiqi's mum back home, then he came over to fetch the rest of us. Went to buy stuffs! Got biscuits for Novy, and got shandy and some freaking delicious corn soya milk for me! And loads of bubble gums for the child.

Went to visit a church member's stall, and the both of us went crazy trying out shades haha.

Aaron and I went back to BlackShot while the elderly took their nap. I did more of my work, and then we went to play the piano together, and my grandparents came over to watch us.

The look on their faces though. Make me want to take up piano once again. My grandmother wants me to 'cause she said I had talent n'aww, but that's only because the pianist at our church sucks. Plus it was like the right thing for a grandmother to say you know.

Aaron and I had fun laughing at my grandfather who taught us the notes to a song, but he couldn't master it himself. 

The house was never quiet with this piano around. There's always somebody trying to play off-key on this old junk. Apparently somebody gave it to them for free or something. My gramps are always getting things for free. It's so unfair okay.

We all sat around the living room to watch some aerobic show, while waiting for horrible pianist's parents to come fetch us to dinner. Grandfather didn't want to drive because driving at night was bad for him. I agree. I don't like the idea of him driving anywhere far alone these days because of that brick-breaking-windows incident.

Grandmother didn't want to go because the food was too unhealthy for her, and it'd end very late, and she usually sleeps at 9PM. 

With the cousin waiting outside :)

They came around 6.15PM, and my stupid stray chose to turn up at that exact moment. I WAS THERE FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS,  AND HE TURN UP ONLY WHEN I'M LEAVING.

Blur shot because I was rushing to get in the car already. I don't care what anyone says okay? A good dog doesn't have to be a cute or well-groomed one. He is one obedient and loyal dog, and that's all a dog lover really need. I was seriously pissed off when Bair said "yucks" lol.

Then dinner! Bloody hell it was a very boring dinner. Aaron and I were one of the only few young people around, 'cause it was crowded with elders and pastors from all over Malaysia.

We were all so underdressed LOL.

<3

LOL @ Elder Huang's unglam face. I was trying to take picture of the choir behind though.

I don't know why they served the first dish like this. It wasn't even cool or anything.

Heart shaped meat!

We all got bored so we did stupid things like this.

and this.

and this.

and this.

Aaron and I got seriously bored by the time the second last dish was served. 'Cause people kept going upstage to talk and it was so, bloody, boring.

So we decided to "visit the toilet".

Went to play with the fishes at the pond instead. We spent like an hour there, 'cause we were chasing the fishes around with his laser. 

The thing ended around 10.50PM, and I didn't want to let my grandfather go when I hugged him goodbye. :(

Horrible pianist's parents drove Aaron and my grandfather home, and Elder Huang sent me back to dad's place. It was so awkward okay. And I felt so bad for him 'cause he's like 65? And he had to drive us back (his house's a few blocks away from mine so it wasn't inconvenient for him okay) all the way back to Singapore at 11PM. 

And the worst thing was, there was this huge jam right before woodland's customs, and the queue wasn't moving for half an hour. 

He decided to drive back from the second link instead, but he didn't really know how to navigate there, and we had to squint very hard to read road signs, 'cause we both had bad eyesights.

I felt so useless.

So anyway he stopped me at the bus stop, and he drove off, and it was with a heavy heart that I turned and walk towards my dad's place. 

I miss my grandparents terribly, and I really want out from this place.

Silence

GUYS, I just made a decision, and I thought I should let you guys know.. that I made a decision. Not that I'm ever going to let any of you know what that decision is because it's personal, but I feel like letting y'all know that a decision have been made. YOU KNOW?

I have no idea why I'm so hyped up right now, it's 1.35AM. I should sleep. I've been taking naps everyday and now that I've gone without for a day, I feel so terribly sleepy. This is bad. I'm getting old.

LOL.

No. I'm not.

I AM SO SLEEPY BUT I'M SO HYPED UP NOW.

My lovely class went in a full-blown panic earlier on, when all of us realise that we had to redo our reports and character researches because the assignment brief wasn't clear enough.

I think I'm done, *yawn*, but I haven't rehearsed my presentation. Oh well, winging it tomorrow. Hoping I'll at least pass the presentation, because I think my report's gonna drag me down a lot.

Goodbye, A :(

I wanna talk more, but I'm too tired. Gonna touch up on my slides a little more before I go to bed. G'night xx

Still Breathing

Sigh, everyone's so angsty during submission week. *insert sad emoji*

Come on come on I can do this if I stop getting distracted come on.

/EDITED
I think my Snowy here damn cute please.

Haha omg ignore the other two, I was running out of ideas okay.

When You See My Friends

"I haven't lost anything except my mind, expect a thousand confessions that you will not find. 

I try to take off my head sometimes, because I can't escape the memories."

My presentation slides I've been working on for 4 hours straight just crashed on me. I opened it and it says that it's damaged.

If anybody have a burning desire to murder me, now would be the perfect time thank you.

Tomorrow, I'm going to scream and yell and dance virtually because tomorrow is the day I submit DEAE. And also class is cancelled on Friday, so early holiday, woohoo.

I promise myself I'll try to blog about Sunday, tomorrow. I can't not blog about it, I know I'll hate myself if I look back from the future, and I can't find that one post that talked about my time in Malaysia.

One does not simply have a fantastic time, and not blog about it.

I am just staring blankly at blogger right now 'cause I really.. really.. am going insane.

On a random note, I'm going to town with Clarice on Friday to get a new pair of shoes, because my red vans are totaled. Sort of.

Sigh. Time to get back to those slides. So much effort put in a 5 minutes presentation. Le sigh.

The Anthem

Sigh. Seriously not feeling my best these days, can people just fuck off and give me a break?

FUCKING TOSSERS.

Okay I have to control. Breathe in, breathe out. Okay no don't do anything drastic. Don't. Do. Anything. Stupid. Relax, come on.

Fuck the world, I'll do this shit alone.

Wish You Were Here

HELLO. What's happenin' homies?

Okay so I should continue talking about Sunday, but I'm so tired, and I've got work to do, and I'm really not in the mood to write anything.

BUT, blogging is a great form of procrastination, so here I am.

I'm finally done with DEAE's report. I just need to scan in my 30 characters, and I'm done. Then I'll have to start working on my presentation.

Hoping that I won't screw that up because the last time I did a proper presentation.. was very very long ago. Year 1's Sem 1 if I'm not wrong. Sigh.

Can't wait for Thursday to be done and over with, then I can finally spend a weekend happily without worrying about work. Yeah and then I'll have to start doing work again during the holidays. Meh.

Okay wait I'm sorry something just totally ruined my mood and I want to rip somebody apart now.

I'm having my stupid anger management issues again. Life is awesome.

G'day people time to open up my dearest Dreamweaver xx

(Please note the sarcasm dripping from that comment)

I don't even know why I bother saying anything anymore.

HAMBURGERS

CRYING. DYING. DEAD. OMFGAJ;DALKHW;ORIAJSDLKFJ WE ARE MEANT TO BE.
and I got like a 100 new followers for that ok.

JAILED THE SECOND TIME IN A DAY :(

I'd Rather Make Mistakes Than Nothing At All

Okay, so..


Saturday
Man, I don't know how I did it, but I struggled and woke up at 5AM. Lazed around in bed till 5.30AM, before realising that I'm probably going to be bloody late if I don't rush.

Rushed, and I totally forgot how quiet the place is at 6AM. Started missing secondary school days a lot then.

I was 15 minutes late, but my cousins' family was waiting at home anyway. Sat in my uncle's car and wee, off we went.

I can't remember what we talked about, but when I told them about my US trip (YAY, MR BRADLEY JUST CONFIRMED IT TODAY), they started talking about their time there.

My aunt was going on and on about how cheap stuffs are in San Francisco and how fun it was and stuffs. Then my uncle reminded her that that was like 17 years ago LOL. That was funny, the way he said it.

They said they're flying off to Chicago on the next day (Sunday), and they said they'll get me Diablo III from there, yay. Paying them of course. Not sure if it'll be cheaper but meh.

There wasn't any jam or anything, so we got in Malaysia pretty fast.

Went to this DimSum stall and BLOODY HELL, it was so good. Or maybe I was hungry, but the prawns in the siewmais, and hargow... ❤_❤

And then I got too lazy to take more pictures 'cause I was so hungry. My uncle kept calling for more, and I seriously think Aaron is a lot like me, 'cause we were the only two who ordered chinese tea. The waitress was like o.O

It was a reallyyyyyy filling breakfast, and I wasn't even used to having breakfast!

Drove back home and we all almost tackle hugged my grandfather. It wouldn't have been a disaster if we really did tackle hug him. 

Of course, the first topic we talked about was Diablo III. Grandfather said he wanted to buy the pirated version, but my uncle and I commented that his computer might be a little too old for D3. 

Then I asked for our Diablo II disc and.....

Aaron and I teamed up to fight Baal. The boss from the expansion set, and that dude's so much scarier than Diablo himself. We died once lolol but we got him anyway.

Oh yeah, Mum came over too! Apparently she was going to Europe on the 18th of June, not May. SIGH misinformations.

I was so happy when I knew she was coming over okay.

Anyway, Aaron, Moses, my grandfather and I went to pluck rambutans from his tree, and it was fun 'cause we were all messing around, and we played with this device thing that my grandfather got, to cut high branches, and we all went crazy playing with it!

I think we spoiled many rambutans, throwing them on the solid ground like that.

Stupid gay boy <3

And of course, all the seeds and skin went into the poor drain.

Me up on a ladder, everything looks so much higher yay.

And Aaron up on the ladder.

Our umm, haul for the day.

LOL @ MY GRANDFATHER'S FACE.

That thing looks like MSN's buddy icon thing.

Not entirely sure what we did after that, but very soon, it was lunch time!

It felt like dinner 'cause I was awake for a really long time already, and usually it'll be dinner time, if I woke up at my usual timings.

Y'know.

Okay that was confusing but yeah, my body was having a jet lag 'cause I woke up too early.

LUNCH! Was at club. 

We took the standard family photo there before our meals. I love my family so much <3

My vocabulary bank is way too empty for me to properly describe my happiness then, to be with my family, just enjoying ourselves. And I really love how my mum was there because family never felt right without her.

Also I had this guilty pleasure of calling out for my mum 'cause I only get to do that during CNY and sometimes Christmas. 

It's so nice to call out "mama", I don't know. It's just that I don't have a mum to call out to usually and it felt so blissfully nice. Things felt normal.

I was such a happy girl.

Okay food spam. Aaron, my mum and I were the ones taking the pictures so bad shots aren't taken by me okay. HAHA k no kidding.

I have no idea what I'm doing to myself.. Posting pictures of food at 11.18PM. Urgh.

Okay anyway, we all drove back. Aaron, Moses and I got in my grandfather's car, as usual. Mum too. We drove to Jiale to get 20 cans of shandy, but we only got 8 'cause it was out of stock. Sigh.

Went back home, and I think I played something with Aaron, can't remember what. OH no wait, I did my work. Yeah I actually did my work!

It wasn't long till the cousins and family, and my mum had to leave. Aaron was staying behind though. We all bade them goodbye and all and it was pretty sad 'cause I know I'm not going to see mum any time soon, what with our schedules and all.

We had this mini conversation that went something like..

Mum: Oi, I thought you wanted to lend me your Harry Potter DVD?
Me: Oh yeah, I didn't know you're coming!
Mum: The next time we meet, pass it to me okay?
Me: Okay, but when's the next time we're going to meet?
Mum: Umm.. Well I'm going overseas soon..

....

Oh well. 

I'm not mad at her or anything. I'd hate the responsibilities too. 

Anyway, they left and Aaron and I were left to play our games. Wanted to play L4D2 with him, but my laptop hung, so I decided to take a 45 minutes nap before continuing with my work.

Grandfather went to take a nap, and grandmother went to teach the Sunday School kids. So we were reallyyyyyyyy bored.

Oh, and Ruiqi jie, whom I haven't seen in 2 years, (she was a tenant), came back to stay for a day, with her mum.

We were so awkward with each other. Urgh. The last time we met, when she was leaving, we hugged and got all sad, and stuffs. And now we're so distant from each other. Oh well, 2 years is a pretty long time.

The both of them were sleeping in my room so I had to sleep downstairs.

I kept walking into the wrong room though. Thank goodness they're always not in when I do that.

Oh, and then Jianlong (another tenant) came back home, saw the both of us, and immediately asked if we would like to catch a movie later that night. 

He said he had two extra tickets to MIB3, and the both of us readily agreed to it, even before asking our gramps. Haha, one does not simply reject tickets to Men In Black okay.

Anyway.. I think we both played games or something, then it was time for dinner. 

By the way, the both of us drank A LOT of tea that day. We had tea for breakfast, then we came back and my grandfather made us the tea Novy got for him, (thanks once again!) and then we kept refilling our teas during lunch, and then we had tea again before dinner, and then we went for dinner and had tea.

Ruiqi jie and her mum came with us, and of course, I had my favourite chao guo tiao at 113. Aaron too of course. I swear the both of us could be siblings, we're so alike. Grandfather had it too, 'cause he missed the noodles.

My grandmother burned her hand while cooking. My heart broke seeing this okay. My grandmother's always so careless, sigh.

Stupid money face.

Hehehehehehhehehehhehehhehehehehehheheehehehehe

We all went back home after our meal, and then again, I can't really remember what Aaron and I did. We played games again if I'm not wrong. Our grandfather was so amused by us 'cause the idea of us playing together through internet was still fascinating for him. 

He also thought Aaron and I were floating 'cause of the FPS view, like we didn't have bodies or anything. 

My grandfather is so bloody adorable <3

Had no idea what we all did till 8PM, but then it was time for movie! 

Like I said, it was awesome ;) And like I said again, I think it'd be pretty boring for people who didn't watch and loved the first two.

Trying, and failing to take a picture with the poster.

I suspect my cousin's a camwhore..

ANYWAY, I had to sleep alone at the room downstairs and it was creepy as hell, look.

You can like see the garden from there, and I know it's supposed to be calming or whatever but IT'S NOT OKAY. 

Ended up asking him to sleep with me 'cause I was a coward LOL.

And yeah. Boy, this is a really lengthy post. I'll talk about Sunday in the next one because I'm going to take forever to finish this!
