thousand apologies for the delay in posting.. really occupied the whole month.. and it's really the whole month cos the last time i blogged was... 1st may? haha..

where shall i start from this time.. hmm.. from after i'm back from amsterdam??

yap.. met up with audrey fiona ailing in the afternoon.. before we made our way to 85 for dinner, with tat zifu and javin.. it's 85 and yet again, but it's definitely a place where we love to gather and enjoy the good food as well as the company...

we went to the place that's similar to settlers near 85.. new place, very refreshing.. was taken aback by something someone did.. but all airs cleared now.. thanks for clarifying.. even if u din, i'll probably believe u anyway...

on the 3rd, another one of our big scale family wedding.. my mom's 2nd brother's son.. mr donny!! 90 tables.. i think it's the biggest wedding that i've ever attending..

phoebe... my cute cute cute pretty niece... haha..

see the signing book.. so grand.. so nice..

and my pretty pretty cousin.. and most of the guys in black in the pictures below.. u'll nv miss them at weddings.. haha...

the groom!!

the groom's brother..

the couple of the day...

look at this.. i dunno how to discribe the situation... haha...

and the 姐妹s for the wedding... not just us of course.. it's 90 tables le.. haha..

drank quite a bit.. actually my family and relatives were really high, bottoms up red wine... and my dad got so drunk, he had to be helped to the car by 2 big guys.. and from the car, my brother and i helped him home.. having someone who can drink is really important in times like this.. cos i remembered the last time my dad got so drunk was when i was in primary sch.. we were visiting his boss's house during CNY and he got so drunk, my mom had to drink though she drank a bit, and we can only help support him from the back to prevent him from falling.. and my brother and i just felt so helpless...

but amazing thing is i did not have hangover the next day and was quite energetic to go to abu dhabi...

there's really nothing much to do there.. and the hot wind and air of close to 40 degrees wasn't helping at all.. so i just went to the shopping mall... walked to the restaurants near the hotel for makan and that's it.. it's in the room the whole day..

came back in sin after 6 days in that hot hot place.. but back to sin is worse cos it's humid here.. sticky sticky.. yucks.. haha.. dinner at sakae sushi.. then went to hao's place for drinking!!! haha first time alcohol came into this group of friends.. suppose to meet at 9.. in the end zifu and javin came at 12 plus.. and shao suppose to join us also, in the end say tired. so irritating. shall not talk about it. hao and the gift he bought for his dad from taiwan.. haha.. cool..

the pink helmet he bought for his friend..

the supply for the night.. and that's javin's hand attacking the ruffles at the back..

the latest was the first one to knock out..

and it follows.. haha..

the 3 of us still manage to stay up till 4 plus.. and javin said mac breakfast.. so we woke up at 7 for mac breakfast.. haha.. all for him lo. stupid.
