hello... yup... i dun mind jol's plan... sounds good... just to note, after 1st service we have free breakfast provided rite? well, maybe we could have a heavy breakfast in church so that we could go earlier to the zoo and have a later lunch. just to confirm, do we have to bring food for lunch? are we having dinner together? if wanna have light dinner, my friends said that there's this dessert stall in bugis that sells great dessert. =) price ranging from 1.80-3.50 like that.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
we're FINALLY going on an outing after 2834672364187263489167168687426362738 years.
real fantastic!
of coz it's tragic that our great cell leader is unable to join us [insert sad smiley (has anyway ever noticed the ironic oxymoron of SAD SMILEys??)],but it's alright,we'll try and keep her close to heart.
rite babes?
[P.S: IF U HAVE NOT READ JAC'S ENTRY,PLEASE SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN RIGHT NOW UNTIL YOU SEE 'off to the ZOO!!!'.]

anyways,being particularly particular about where we'll be heading,i decided to share my views about the choice of location.
firstly: WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY $15 JUST TO GET INTO A LOCATION TO SEE ANIMALS?!!!
I CAN STEP INTO A PET SHOP FOR FREE AND GET THE SIMILAR SATISFACTION OF SEEING ANIMALS [which is nil],SMELL THEIR MUCH TO BE DESIRED ODOURS AND BETTER YET-HAVE THE JOY OF BEING IN AN AIR CONDITIONED AREA.
but of coz,i do understand that not every thing is free in the world and not everyone is as economical [aka cheapskate] as me.

so now we move on to the issue of getting there.
from personal experience,sitting a train ride from toa payoh to far off choa chu kang is an extremely good experience ..
if u're a tourist.
u get to see everything about singapore-the HDB,the trees,the old factories,the horse racing course,the heartlands,the schools and even a reservoir.
in other words,the journey takes 8973465879623482369 milleniums.
taking the train from bedok and then changing at jurong east to cck is sama-sama.of coz u can also take 67 all the way to cck interchange,but i guarantee you that ur butt is bound to rot.
nevertheless,since we'll all be coming from church which is located in BEDOK and not angmokio,we should opt for the scenic train route.

since we'll be paying a grand total of $90 [i calculated with the help of me trusty calculator],i suggest we try to catch all the FREE shows possible.make the money worth it.
[not like we dun get to see such shows in church when the guys start doing weird stuff]
as for taking pictures at the expense of seeing $12 fly away,why not use my handy camera at the basic cost fee of a ben&jerry's ice cream cone with 2 scoops of yummy ice cream?we can do so infront of their enclosure [i assume they will be in one when not in the photo shoot time],and maricar with her superb digital imaging skills can magic away the fence and put ah meng's hairy arms around jac.
just a cheaper suggestion.

regarding feeding time for US hungry babes,i suggest we each contribute some food items.[remainders can be tossed into the bins coz i'm sure the animals eat better quality food than us seeing how much we have to pay!!!]
i'm sure my mum can whip up some food too with a lil pacifying from me.
so let's all help jac by offering lil bits of food from each of us and telling her by friday alrights?
those who can't bring anything can help carry the food.
remember: the greater serve the lesser.=D

ok now we move on to the post-zoo activity.
giraffe is quite a delightful place to be in if u're like..with your other half.
being a rather mod chic bar-cum-restaurant located right smack in town area opposite the Istana,i'm pretty sure they won't be too please to see a buncha sweaty babes smelling like a buncha animals entering such a higher end place.

the price of the food is kinda..ex.it costs about the same as our zoo ticket to eat a decent meal here.nevertheless,the reviews abt the place,service and food is rather good.
but seriously,after an entire day in the sun with smelly animals and smellier people,i think we'll be contented just to find a decent air-conditioned place to fill our stomachs without having to suffer evil stares from the people around us.

which brings me to the 2nd location.

yes-STARBUCKS.
i mean,where else can u find great coffee with fantastic atmosphere and comfy couches?!!
no need to elaborate;
this place just ROCKS!
[no biasness here]

ok i suppose gloria jeans coffee at raffles city can come in a close 2nd to starbucks.

however it's convenient central location also means that the crowd tends to be overwhelming.
the seating capacity of this outlet is rather limited,so i dun think we'll be able to get seats unless we're uber blessed.
[as for salvador dali's artworks,just go look and drool at the pics to be posted up in my blog by year's end =D ]

for now,we'll give clarke quay a miss coz wells,the place is a madhouse on sundays.

next up would be minds cafe.
it's kinda like settler's cafe but i think it's cheaper.
i think.
anyway,they have some special package for 6 players.
Mind Sixer Package at $48/- for 6 person for 2 hours of boardgames ,6 drinks of YOUR CHOICE , 2 snacks and 1 tidbits of YOUR CHOICE.
yeah as u can see,very democratic.everything's YOUR choice.PAP should learn from them.
here's the website for more info like the food [seems to be limited] and how to get there,etc.
http://www.themindcafe.com.sg/index.php

thai express is relatively more affordable,satisfactory in terms of taste if u aren't picky like me,and can be found in quite a few locations actually [siglap,raffles city,bugis,etc..],though if we go to the esplanade one we can also check out the FREE children's day performances available there.of coz that means we'll have to put up with overexcited kids.*grimaces*
hopefully our stench will be able to keep them 1km radius away from us,then we can enjoy the performance all to ourselves,provided the performers can tahan us.
here's the webby anyways:
http://www.thaiexpress.com.sg/

village is a total rip off from marche from the food right down to the cows.
the prices seem to wanna imitate marche's too.
the food's so-so only,nothing compared to its better counterpart.so i dun think we shld go to this place,i mean,if we wanna pay that price,might as well go to the one that serves it more authentically rite?
[once again, no biasness here]

and if u want barbaablackchic,here's one:

yupz so that's my opinion.
please do feel free to feedback on the COOL TAGBOARD and please DO LET JAC KNOW ASAP that u have seen this informative website and tell her ur opinions so she'll not be left clueless.
come on,ain't that hard to pick up the hp rite?
her number is 98221880 for those who do not know and ought to be fed to the lions.

see u on sun!
WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

it started off perfectly..
until the birthday song was sung enthusiastically by our ever vocally strong cell intern maricar who also showed just how bilingual she was as the song blended into the chinese version.of coz she wasn't alone in singing it as pretty soon,jes and shi hui joined her in one chorus.
the otherwise happy occasion was marred by an extremely guilty jac who picked up her hp in the midst of the song while the ever watchful camera person caught her on film in great disapproval..
tsktsk.

the usual standard procedure of making the 3-relate-2 wishes..

was soon followed by the equally usual procedure of receiving a gift bought from her very own buddy on behalf of the cg..

which was unfortunately,viewed with great suspicion..

- time to pose for the cam first..say PEACE!! -

but soon a pleasantly surprised smile was plastered on the pretty make-up face of the birthday gal..

sadly,jac just had to spoil it for a moment by 'ahm-chioing' [laughin quietly to oneself in hokkien] about maricar's supposedly 'bad taste' in choosing such a present while her extremely appreciative sweet buddy brushed it off..

actually jac just really wanted it too..
*note the jealous look

evidently,jac's apparent bid to make sheila give up her bday present was foiled and so she's left to pout while the buddy looks on worriedly..

look at how jac makes a swift grab for the present..

followed by the jealous inspection of it..

of coz all done on the pretext of 'helping' sheila to don it..

obviously jac definitely needs to go for the How To Put On A Necklace For Someone course..
Step 1: make sure the hair's outta the way!!!

ahhh..tt's better.

'not fair!!i really wanted it!!=(' [quote from the perceived thoughts of the one on the left]

~ the present ~

~ the overjoyed receiver ~

~ the babes [- trina!=( ] ~

the weirdos. =/

and the day ended with hugs from all of us to the birthday babe =)

BLESSED 18TH SHEILA!!!

the alluring call of a simple mini choc cake adorned with wad look like a gleeful yellow dolphin beckoned.the lit candle just screaming to be blown.

of coz while the main star was making her wishes,2 clowns at the back tried to be a part of the 'IT' photo of the moment.unfortunately,they remained what they were-clowns.though beautiful ones at that.haha.

the time came for the winds hailing from the cherry lips of the new eighteen-year-old to lick the flame,while her truly ravenous shirt looked prepared to devour the helpless cake in its entirety.

the usual round of snapshot moments occurred,and as usual,the detesters-of-cameras-with-flash overpowered the meek easy-going ones,and so a horrible no flash picture resulted;much to the delight of the oppressors but not the oppressed.

you know how they say- 'you learn something new everyday'? well,jac decided to learn something new that fateful day.she decided to finally learn how to,get this,
-light a matchstick-
yes-and after many pitiful matchsticks perished in her unrelenting hands,with a few attempting to satisfy her desire by offering a few promising sparks,they all eventually gave up and sparked out. until...

and so she finally did it...
much to the relieve of the other surviving matchsticks.
*round of applause*

in our quest for our next haunt,where else to head to but the ever wonderfully entertaining Settler's Cafe!as you can see,the katong branch is truly a pretty place that's rather cosy too.though the air conditioning was a tad to cold,leaving us to wonder if we were in the arctic branch instead.

some of us got pretty high too...

while some engaged in more challenging activities like some pirated but more fun version of uno-stacko.

the cautious

the indecisive

the courageous master strategist at work...gazed upon by envious novices

of coz,losers were not spared the ordeal of forfeits.much acclaim and kudos must go to the ever gutsy sheila for imitating the job of a traffic warden,directing 'traffic' in the centre of the cafe while clueless gamers looked on.

since katong's settler's cafe had never been graced upon by such a brilliant star as -mua-,a complimentary drink on the house was served to the birthday babe,who happily slurped down the tangy concoction with great satisfaction.

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRP!!
ahhhh....yes-it was indeed a satisfying birthday.
THANKS PEACE BABES FOR EVERYTHING!!!
LOVE YA LOADS!!!
