hehe 2 days never blog le!! im super busy la. got so many things to do, especially on Sat, i had 3 different choices to spend my entire day, go out with my classmates for the outing to Sentosa or go visit my church friend in his army camp or go for piano lesson and swim after that. in the end, i decided to choose to go visit my friend in his army camp as i just went to sentosa just barely a few days ago, so no point going and my piano lesson can be changed.

my church friend, Jireh, was in the artillery camp, so obviously there were the Bionics, a tank made by singaporeans for singaporeans. i had to wake up at 5am just to go to the stupid campsite, went there with nicole and took tons of pics but used her camera instead as my phone camera was blurry. the pics i will upload it next time when she has passed me the photos. it was rather....noisy. what ya expect with tanks shooting blanks like nobody's business?? it was rather nice as they passed out and had some kinda performance. after that we went to look for him, nicole met many other City Harvest Church members but i didnt recognise them.

we also got to try out the SAR-21, tried out the tanks, the different weaponry and the bazookas! uh they were lighter than i expected. had lotsa fun posing for the camera and trying out the equipments. managed to get 4 headshots out of the 5 blanks they gave me. seriously i don't like to use the gun (SAR-21) as the smoke is rather irritating, after firing 2 bullets, smoke engulfed my face, rather choking, but still managed to control the recoil as i fired constantly. only the second shot wasn't a head.

oo after that i went for my new CG as church reorganised the cell group and i got so many new friends, obviously it was rather strange and awkward meeting them cuz i seldom saw them in church, let alone this was my first Cg meeting ever since my O levels ended. so there was an introduction obviously.

After that, i went for my family BBQ at my uncle's house, it was just exactly the same as last year's, just that i think there was more food i think. one thing for sure, my uncle started up the fire so much faster! let me show ya the pics! didnt take note of the timing leh.... oo i took picture of the fire pit from time to time so now i shall show you the progress of the fire starting! this sounds rather ridiculous huh. O.o notice the background getting darker and darker...it was evening already when i took the first pic!

dont ask me why the fire is blue in colour, the phone camera got a huge problem T.T its supposed to be nothing there at all, as in just pitch black. I helped out with the fanning of the flames and the spreading of butter on the food! anyway i decided to take some pics of the surroundings. nowadays there is so little family interaction time, compared to last year's BBQ, where everyone was talking and the children were running about. now is so different, everyone is glued to their nintendo DS and their PSPs and handphone games. i wasn't playing as i helped out with the fire.




i decided to sit and rest for a while, helping myself to the homecooked food by my beloved maternal grandma, she cooks soo delicious and is super hardworking as my maternal grandpa was the kind who drinked and didn't care for the family. i went to his funeral but didnt even know him as i never seen him in my life ever. so i presumed all this while that he died. Paternal grandpa died a long time ago, all thats left is his jar of ashes in the temple of which i only saw it once. not gonna talk so much about my family unless you are interested, then do drop me a message or smth.



back to topic, i only took a little food as didnt really feel like eating at that time, grandma cooked fried rice and bee hoon, chose rice as i always prefer rice. those chunks of meat are chunks of crayfish, "deshelled" by my grandma and she cooked 2 huge containers of crayfish meat. out of all my family members, i love my maternal grandma the most!

night started to settle down as the sky blackened with thick white clouds floating overhead. food chain started as the firepit started and everyone started to eat!




a small portion of what we cooked! haha! after a super long time, we wet up to my uncle's house where we slacked under the luxury of the air conditioning. grandma took out the sweet melons that she bought from the market. i tell ya they were so orange and sweet! super nice to eat! don't know why grandma always knows how to buy really juicy and sweet fruits. one thing i know for sure she has a very interesting history and also lived through the japanese occupation plus support her 5 children all by herself.




ate and ate orange melons before watching some really kiddy music show of which i could easily do the questions, you knwo those kinda TV shows where they ask the ppl to identify the objects and the different italian terms. geez my cousins seem to be rather inclined to music O.o ps they are only in primary school.

hehe played really kiddy games too with my bro and my uncle, that toy belongs to my primary one cousin.

oo one more thing i found out! my toe nails are still pink in colour! already removed my fingernail polish with the help of my friend nicole!! :D
