i tink my dad nearly killed me when he cme over to pick us all up for dinner. haa haa...

he had specifically informed me tat uncle maju (his close associate fr sri lanka) is cmin to singapore n wld b dinin wif him on sun nite.

den guess wat, regan, dar n me took a nap n when before we knew it it was 6.30pm! *faints* i was awoken by e ringin fone smemre coz dad delegated e task to ah di to call us n ask y we nt there yet.

i faster kick dar wake up while tellin ah di we were preparin (tryin darn hard to sound as awake as possible when i actually crawled to pick e fone up).

regan heard e noise, woke up n startin nua-in on e bed while askin 'y? where we go?'. refuses to budge when i ask him to change. stressed! he likes to do things xtra slowly when he noes u r rushin for time. =(

i tink e 3 of us changed in record time (even with regan's dilly dallyin, well at least he wore his socks n shoes himself while i was puttin on my make-up) - 15 mins.

dad decided to drive over to pick us up instead n was honkin away dwnstairs when he got there. *bleahz*

den he drove so fast to pick uncle maju up as we were rather late. n i din tink where to eat smemore. so after we pick uncle maju up, dwn there 'hee hee haw haw' for sme time before decidin to eat at east coast seafood int'l.

its been ages i ate there. keke...

its quite a cool concept. u walk into an area like a supermkt n start to choose all ur food. being live, it is of coz very fresh n nt to mention expensive. e 8 of us n e bill cme up to almost $500. tats like a third of my salary. *geez* but e svc was damn lousy today. e food came so slowly. e plates were cleared so slowly. our requests were done so slowly. upset!

dad told e waitress to divide e food before servin n she was like 'huh? wat u tokin abt.' i mean its quite a std request wat. den e best part was, she din noe wat to do, started dividin rite in front of us n put into our plate. *faints* i got so turned off tat i tell her its ok, we serve ourselves.

tats dad n uncle maju choosin seafood. ah di lookin after regan whom was lookin at all e fishes n odd lookin swimmin creatures. n mum n jianglin lookin in e backgrd. hee...

e lobster tat unluckily got picked was oiishi. but e fed-up part was whoever heard of eatin lobster salad as a last course. usually its a cold dish tats served first. but they served it last after all our prawns, fishes, veges, mussels n mee. so angry lei. *hmpf* so it felt a bit odd.

while waitin for our food. hee... so i took sme pics. ask regan take but he ignore me n busy eatin his kelloggs frost loops tat ah di bought for him.

{ah di n mom lookin bored while waitin for food}


{dad n uncle maju}

close-up of uncle maju n dad. well, missin one in dis pics is my handsme *pukes* youngest bro jianglin. keke... 'sorrie lei, forget to take u, nxt time k?' =P

anyways, i tink all of them tink i'm crazy snappin away on my hp of e ppl, food, creatures, plates. hee hee...

ask dar to take a pic but he say he take pic nt nice. dun even wanna take a family photo with me n regan. anyways, so i anyhw take one for him. den nw he likes dis photo so much. tryin to act cool here. haa haa... =) 'dar, no nid to act la, u always look e most cool, handsme, charmin n cute in my heart!'

as usual, regan can nv sit still thru e whole dinner. after finishin e whole box of kelloggs frost loops, ate sme fish n rice den startin runnin ard.

bug ah di to brin him c e fishes. den followed jianglin to e gents to disturb him. n after which hes so tired finally settle dwn to read a bk (his bag is like doraemon's pocket, everythin i oso put in to keep him occupied) which was oni like 15 mins. n off he goes again runnin abt.

children r so restless. keke...

i tink blur pics makes me look prettier hor. if nt, under high pixels n bright lights, i look so horrible. hee hee... =D

dad n uncle maju decided to go to marina mandarin for a drink. so dar took over e drivin n sent them there. dad takin e cab back coz hes gonna drink so he din wan to drive another car out. hee...

den i insisted on going dwn to chinatwn 'da pai dang' to buy peanut soup with glutinous rice balls (peanut fillings). haf been cravin for it for weeks but nobody wan to go n eat. haa haa... but finally we r nt too far away, so dar obliged n drove there. yayyyyyy.... *grins*

dis is e third time i'm there. always rather empty n so quiet. looks at e ppl-less street. cld b due to e rainy weather lately.

e food's rather expensive n nt really tat tasty (one of e prev posts - went to eat supper at chinatown. had char kway teow, bbq sambal fish, or jian n ice kachang. exhorbitant prices n quality avg oni) except of coz e peanut soup la. so yummy!

my fav dessert nw. keke... i tink clementi oso got as got 1 time yeeean n michael (ex-abecha colleagues) bought back fr there but i dun noe where. muz go chk it out. nearer ma den can go eat more often.

but den again, smetimes when things or food get more common its nt as good, as interestin, as appetisin, as fascinatin, as lookin forward to, as special, as unique, as cravin, as delicious, as exceptional, as uncommon, as exquisite, as extraordinary n as unusual as before when u haf it or eat it less often. keke... silly theory? i tink so. but its rather true for me.
