today was fun!
i met up with my cousin yiling for lunch with my parents and my grandmother and my aunt.
we went to imperial treasure XIAO LONG BAO &LAMIAN!
ate like 5 xiaolongbaos.
mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
anyway, i was "abandoned" by my parents so i went out shopping with my couz.
it was fun.
she brought me to the MAKEUP STORE which is co-owned by our aunt(who is from jakarta),
and i got my eyebrows plucked/trimmed.
it cost my couz 15 bucks.
hahaha!
anyway, the people there were really nice,
maybe partly coz they knew our mothers.
so anyway, i was like sitting in front of the mirror and the salesgirl was like plucking my eyebrows.
and i was tearing.
seriously! i was tearing.
it was like my tears had a mind of their own.
i just couldn't control them.
and the salesgirl handed me a tissue.
how thoughtful of her.
i was feeling so embarrassed, then i realised that the salesgirl must have seen alot of tears. anyway, so i stopped feeling embarrassed and started to feel painful and sympathetic towards myself for being a girl.
i mean, i don't even cry when i fall and bruise myself badly.
seriously, guys should NEVER complain about their gender.
trust me guys, u don't wanna be a GIRL.
and to transexuals, what were u thinking???!!!
so anyway, i just kept tearing and tearing non-stop, that i was sure i made the salesgirl feel guilty.
i'm also sure that i caused my couz some emotional distress seeing me tear,
coz she told me.
anyway, moving on,
after the emotional and painful incident,
my couz went to get some icecream,
my treat, coz she paid the 15 bucks for my torture.
then fast forward till we left marina square mall and entered the esplanade.
we went there coz we were meeting serene, who is my god-cousin, since she is my cousin's god-sis.
b4 that, we were just hanging ard while i ate my tiramisu icecream(!) which was delicious, btw.
and i saw this beautiful bag at one of the cart kioks.
but it was the last one left and it was in bad shape, so my couz was like bargaining with the salesgirl.
neither side budged, so i ended up gorgeousbag-less. (!!!!)
which was pretty sad, considering i'm quite a critic at bags.
i guess, i'll just go back someday after praying hard enough that there is new stock.
fast forward again.
now i'm at the esplanade library, and we've met serene and her piano teacher, angelina.
then we had
yam cha and my couz booked the practice room at the esplanade library.
in case u don't know what a practice room is,
its a small room where u can book for 6 bucks per hour to play the piano.
they've got 2 pianos in there, one electronic one & the other a classical one.
the view was magnificent, it was overlooking the singapore river.
but i thought the reclaiming/oil dreger machine thing in the middle of the river kinda spoiled everything.
anyway, we ended up spending like 1&1/2 hours in there just playing all sorts of songs.
and people outside were looking in and wondering what we were doing.
the room wasn't sound-proof.
so at ard 8pm, we went to
makansutra to have our dinner.
dinner was good.
we had fried prawn mee, egg carrot cake and satay.
the satay & the egg carrot cake was to die for.
i want to go back there someday.
then we sat and talked and chatted all the way till 10pm and we left.
whew, what a day.
had so much fun. which is pretty amazing, considering the people i hanged out with were in their 20s.
no offence guys. (:
i think i am going to start watching
full house, since i hear soooo many people watching it.
serene told me the storyline & i find it quite interesting.
so, does anyone have the vcds that i can borrow?
(:

well, well, well...
while some of you were sleeping, eating, playing, shitting or picking your nose,
I, joanne played hide and seek with my iPod.
see, my dad confiscated my iPod (probably due to one of his mood swings. Parents, you know them.) and i spent the a bit of my night looking for it.
my parents were out to one their friend's birthday party at some fancy schmancy hotel restaurant, i know, an adult still having birthday party?
imagine sitting there in some uncomfortable clothes you squeeze into just to look good and sipping on some drink and engaging in some intellectual conversation with a total stranger you've just met like a few minutes ago.
talking about, i don't know, i'm still a kid.
anyway, where was i?
oh, ok, so after my dad confiscates my iPod, he leaves for the PARTY,
and i launch my MISSION-CONFISCATED-IPOD.
finding things that my dad hides is never difficult, hah, its almost too simple that you'd think he'd do way better.
it usually takes me a few minutes to find my object, but hey, i'm not bragging. (:
anyway, i go into their bedroom and start searching.
you know, the regular places, like their bedside tables, cabinets and so on so on.
but to no avail.
i even thought maybe my dad's getting good at this hiding business that he may have even locked it in the safe or in my mum's bedside table which is locked.
i even used my hairpin to try to unlock the drawer.
hehheh.
but still cannot!
so i start to curse and swear ( well, not really, but its like a phrase isn't it?) and then it was then i spotted another drawer nearby.
and i still remember what went through my mind as i opened that drawer.
"if i could just find it right now in this drawer, i would be a genius!"
and there it was! nestling quietly amongst the rest of the stuff in the drawer.
it wasn't even hidden properly.
TSK.
haha. and that isn't even the best part,
i decided to take my iPod with me, since that was what i launched this mission for and....
oh, this is so exciting...
and, REPLACE IT WITH A FAKE LOOKALIKE ONE!!!!!!
hahahaha, isn't that exciting and clever of me?
heheheh.
i even took some pictures to show you the steps to my victory. (!)
i'm so nice to show you my sweet, sweet, victory.
(:
