I like this part right here

OKAY, I decided to forget about blogging about the sentosa trip since Dewaine has kinda done it already, and I still got AN ENTIRE WEEK'S entry to blog right now.
Yea, go get popcorn or something to surive the long read.
Oh, and the picture post will follow this post. Since blogger always stuffs everything up, I won't risk killing my wordy post for some pictures.
Mhm, here goes;
Monday:
Belinda and I took a cab to Toa Payoh Safra for her table tennis lesson (like WTH, come to SG for holidays still gotta have lessons).
So we arrived, and there was only this China coach (who was having his lesson with this puny girl who seems pro for her age). And it was freaking hard to communicate with him to tell him that Belinda was there for lessons and we don't even knwo who the coach is. Well apparently I can't speak China chinese; I can only do SG chinese.
Oh and the best part was, my sister was the only one who knew the number of the coach, so we tried calling her.
Like, at least 20 times.
No reply at all. So we stood there like tootheads for 30mins or so, then the China coach (who seemed slightly pissed according to Belinda) tried helping us by calling idk-who.
But we still received no news at all regarding that eklutvheiau coach, so we just left.
THEN, like an hour after, the freaking ah fat of a sister msged me to say that the lesson was on tues instead. That's nice.
Decided to go visit Belinda's grandma (her paternal side one; I'm on her maternal side), which was kinda nearby.
Her grandparents are really warm and friendly and they have this really big star tortoise! (I shall continue turtle/tortoise stories later on).
HAHA, I used to keep two, Sam and Samy. They were still quite tiny when my grandma decided to give them away. And some time after, star tortoises were declared as endangered. =.=
Anyway, took train back alll the way to tanah merah. It's so weird how by taxi, the trip from bedok to toa payoh is so short, yet by train, it's hell long.
Tuesday:
Went to Century Square with Belinda to eat the beef noodles before going to the table tennis lesson. She played while i read this random book.
Then visited Belinda's mama again. Ate dinner, played with the tortoise, watched Little Nyonya(!!), then my mum fetched us home.
Wednesday:
Deying jiejie came to fetch us to the chalet at East Coast. The chalet was like for family only, but there were a few people I didn't know... Anyway, most of them were my cousins (my much-older cousins, which is why I have so many nieces and one nephew).
Sleptover at the chalet after msging Dewaine Happpy Bday and switching off my phone.
According to Belinda, Hazel and Charlotte (my nieces) kept waking up in the middle of the night, and when they woke up, everyone else woke up as well; except me. HAHA, Idk how deeply I sleep.
Thursday:
When I woke up I switched on my phone, and WHOA, all the merry christmas msges all came flowing in.
Went to eat breakfast with Roy korkor and Peter korkor and Belinda and like, since we woke up late, there wasn't much food left at the buffet.
Then we all decided to go rollerblading/ cycling. And I was wearing my freaking jeans. That was the first time I rollerbladed in jeans.. so hot cos the sweat all just stuck in there, suffocating your legs. How do the guys stand it ah? Cos I always see them wearing long pants when rollerblading..
Ate lunch at some HK eatery and the beef thingy was so nice; it was spaghetti at the bottom and minced beef and melted cheese on top, so yummyyy. Oh yea, somehow whatever drink I order, it wouldn't taste like what it's supposed to be. Like once I ordered iced peach tea, it tasted like some bland watermelon drink instead. That day I ordered lemon tea. In Agnes jiejie's words, lemon tea is the most basic already. But mine tasted like honey water. So weird, uh? And that only happens when I'm out with my cousins. HAHA. They suck up the essence of the drink.
During the meal Charlotte kept crawling over (cos it's the against-the-wall cushioned bench seat) and saying "I can see your bum bum *laughs/smiles*" And she's only like two years old! I wonder where she learn all the bumbum things from, LOL. But so cute!
Went to sit the small ferris wheel thing for the sake of accompanying Hazel (Belinda sat with Charlotte). And we each got one free can of party spray and we got so high on it, vandalising every tree and and every inch of the ground. But we saved some for home use. :D
Agnes jiejie and Roy korkor sent us back home, and came up to visit our grandma. Then we started asking about our heritage. Apparently, I've got Indonesian, Malaysian (Malacca, Peranakan), Hainanese, Cantonese and Khek ancestors on my paternal side of the family. But somehow my auntie(Belinda's mum/ my father's sister) said there was also a Caucasian and Hawaiian. o.O But I'm still mainly Chinese lah, at least 80% of it. And my greatgrandma and grandma are nyonyas. SO COOL, hahaha I love watching the Little Nyonya show. Okay, random.
Ate Christmas dinner at home, then Deying jiejie came as well. With the kids, Melia and Braxton and the baby, Andreena. The oldest one is the most traumatic one. When she wants you to play with her, there's absolutely no escape. At least Braxton just whines a little if you reject him. Andreena's too young to traumatise anyone, lol.
Watched Little Nyonya together before they all went home and I forgot what else I did.
Friday:
ICE SKATING!!! :D
My mum sent us (sis, Belinda and I) to the Kallang mall where the iceskating rink was (2nd storey). All was well until my right blade slid into this really deep gash in the ice and I kinda swerved incontrollably and fell. Stupid. I curse that person who made that gash to suffer the same thing as me. No, that's not severe enough, I curse that person to.... Okay, I'm kidding. That fall didn't even hurt. It only made my right side of my jeans wet.
Oh, and there was this guy clique, SO SCARY, they keep trying to speed, and whenever they start to feel unstable, their arms go flying EVERYWHERE. If they whacked me (by mistake or not) I'd have made sure they wouldn't be able to skate anymore for their entire lives. Nah, I'm kidding again. :)
Ate sushi buffet! Whoa, so filling. I swear my tummy bulged after that.
Watched Spirit after. That movie, is soooo random. I could barely remember the entire storyline after stepping out of the cinema. It's too random for my brain to absorb in sequence. But it's rather funny in the weird but good way.
Saturday:
GOO FARM!
Okay, goo means tortoise. HAHA. it's dialect.
Apparently we could go in free cos it's owned by Belinda's grandma's brother. It's in Chinese Gardens. The one with the Guiness World Record for keeping so many tortoises and turtles. I went so high with the camera, taking videos (including one of me naming everything I see, and zooming in on this couple kissing at the bench but I deleted it by accident so you guys wouldn't get to see it ever) and yea..
I'll try to upload all the vids and pictures cos I seriously can't be stuffed describing everything.
Sunday:
Went to Jiehua's house. (some guy Belinda and I supposedly knew when we were kids). He freaking ignored everyone and played his gay game. Acting cool uh?
Then went to Yvonne's house (another kid friend?).
And that was the day.
