Flight to UK
Been quite nua nua and caught up with lotsa thingy at work. Cooking, as usual, also takes up most of Marpigz time during the weekends. Need to keep up with diligence too. Then normally Marpig came home after work, cooked and have dinner, washed up and gets really nua... ooo~~~ the year of the pig!! hahahahaha
Right, suppose to blog this way way way back but drag until now!! Itz the flight back from Singapore!!
Well, nth much really. Think have blogged bout tt flight in one of the previous blog. Just tt Marpig 4got to add smth else. For tt flight, all of us didnt board the plane via the boarding bridge. Instead, there were buses bringing us to the big Boeing plane and we used the boarding ladder. Wow. 1st time lor!! Felt like sm impt person!! muahahahahah yes yes, mountain turtle!! But even the ang moh couple sitting bside Marpig were saying itz the 1st time they encounter this on SQ. Hmmm...
Then, the flight was abit delayed cos the captain (another ang moh whom Marpig chat to while we were making our way to check in. A frenly and suave middle aged pilot... wow... if only Marpig can be a pilot too!!) annouced smth wrong with the plane's wheels... The co-pilots... biangz. Lousy as anyth. No no, not tt Marpig has anyth to do with the opposite sex which Mr Calendar might readily say so, but itz the way they carried themselves. Social etiqutte. They lacked social etiquette. They might be gd future pilots but... aiya, tok bout this in another blog.
Erm, yar, ttz bout it for this blog.
Received comments from Ding saying Marpig 4got to blog smth... hmmm... wat is it?! Hmmm... been very 4getful!!

Pictures (FOOD) Galore!! :D)
Once more, Marpig noe abit more of herself everyday. :D
Right... 1st, a very brief tolk-bout on vdae.
Went out with a guy, (quite a complicated matter now) and wanted to dis-impress him by eating alot of food. Don think it worked. But luckily managed to xcuse having dinner with him by going out with... Marpigz dad and sis!!Really, as Marpig am telling Beenie, vdae is for loved ones. But tt doesnt mean bf/gf. Loved ones can be our family members or relatives or frens!! Really, as every1 noes, vdae is just another dae for pple to make $. Really, if yr gf/bf truly loves u, anydae can be a vdae.
And, it is so nice going out with Marpigz dad and sis for a simple hawker dinner at Old Airport Road. :D), especially on vdae. We called many ths like... cant rem.. but got pictures as usual!! YEAH!! hehehehehehehe
Short hair? Yes. Update. Marpig has very short hair!! Tsk. Hairdresser made a mistake. Wanted a Jap short hairdo but ended up too short and tsk. Lost all sexiness. Looks younger though!! But, OMG. Really, makes Marpig look like a b***h. Sigh. Oh well, don really 12 care much liao. Don live for others.First round of food for Marpigz dad, sis and Marpig. More are yet to come!! :D)
Packing lugg, had dinner with relatives, met JC classmates for a brief hour, took taxi to Sexy Ladyz hse in the middle of the night @ 1am+ and ring her doorbell in an unintentional intend to wake up the whole hse, took taxi with her to Joo Chiat for night cycling (bicycles are there)
So we did a 42.9km night cycling (minus a few km for inaccuracies of the distometer :P) Went ard Paya Lebar, Hougang, AMK, Serangoon and Serangoon Gardens was our pit stop. Wah, the famous chicken rice smells sooooo fabulously delicious!! OMG!! But, didnt buy. Wanted to lim teh and milo but ah neh boh hue us, so we walked to 7-11 and bought a BIG gulp and cup noodles. Being Marpig, she purposely paraded ax the ah neh shop slurping on her noodles. So, bite Marpig lah!!
Then both of us set off again and wanted to go MacRitchie, Novena, Orchard, Bugis to go back Joo Chiat. In the end, lost our way, went all the way pass MacRitchie, to Raffles Institute and the Bishan/Toa Payoh flyover. Duh.
Luckily we met an old couple @ 5+am(?) who, surprisingly, were doing their morning walk!! Ok. Asked directions. Finally, made it to MacRichie and Novena and after tt, Marpig am too tired to rem wat happened. But finally back to Joo Chiat @ 615am?
Dozed off a wee bit and went home, leaving Sexy Lady alone with Yont for bf. Sorry love!!
Went home on taxi (cant believe Merc taxi uncle cheat Marpig by taking longer route!! Pui!! Down with all Merc taxi uncles!!) and 打包 very nice 秀记酿豆腐 as bf for Marpigz dad, sis and BIL!! Reach home @ 7+am and had bf then sleep. Woke up @ 11+am and started transferring VCDs into new 120GB HDD. Didnt get to sleep ever since.
Evening went auntyz hse for reunion dinner (BIG nice spread of food!! Pictures as usual!!)
Seeing the anty pple downstairs... so funny!! Feel so yaya papaya "staying in the middle of the big hooha" (one of the many Marpigz famous and fav phrases) :P)
Wow... very nice entry this isnt it!! Full of nice pictures!! Yeah!!
And oh, Marpig went Geylang with Marpigz dad for fav Teochew Moi!! Oh boy oh boy!!
And oh!! Marpigz sis bought durians and we (Marpigz sis, BIL and Marpig) gobbled 5 durians!! In fact, it was Marpigz BIL who suggested eating durians!! So, he likes durians too!! Who say HK pple don like durians?! :D)

Crabs Galore and Void Deck 榴莲!!
*Recalling*
The previous night was as usual... pick up pple from AMK MRT station (of cos with a U-turn and miss turns) As usual also, Beenie fly aeroplane... *yanws* she has successfully entered into the fly-aeroplane club now... membership is lifetime until performance improve...
Right, so with additional few more wrong turns and U-turns, BB, Ding, Mr Calendar and Marpig finally reached AMK Ave 3, Blk 232 to eat crabs. Being the 宁可杀错不可放过 eater, Marpig suggested ordering pepper, chilli and butter crabs, to the sheer horror of BB and Mr Calendar. :D_
Lady then told us the price; 1kg = SGD35 and bigger ones are bout SGD60... considering the amt of cash all of us horde, we could only order a single big crab... :(_
NVM. So, we ordered chilli crab cos can dip fried 馒头 in the gravy. Then, still being abit crazy, Marpig also suggested ordering a plate of scallop with cashew nuts and capsicum. In the end, we ordered crab, scallop, kang kong, fried 馒头 and 4 plates of rice.
Letz now tok bout the dishes one by one.
1) The scallop with cashew comes 1st. To our (terrible) surprise, out of the plateful of ingredients like oinions, cashew nuts, capsicums and Gingko nuts, there were only a pathetic 5 small scallops!! The whole dish costs us SGD15 (!!) We didnt waste ANY. We finished everyth on the plate. The only sad th is we got to ration the 5th scallop... muahahahaha AND Marpig saved her scallop till the VERY END!! Aft everyth has been finished... Marpig "焖" the scallop in the crabz gravy... wah~~~!! 够味!!
2) Kang Kong is next. Wat can Marpig say? Itz Kang Kong.
4) Crab and 馒头 finally came!! We were all like "WOW", "WAH" "OOH~~~" hahahahahahaha
The most messy (and dangerous) is BB. Simply bcos he managed 喷 gravy onto Marpig on the right and Mr Calendar on the left... Ding is being saved cos she sits in front of BB...

Sisz Wedding in HK!! :D)
Sunday, February 11
Bedok 85
Anyway, letz do sm updates b4 Marpig goes onto sisz wedding in HK!!
As xpected, 1 of Marpigz fav activities in Singapore is makan spree. So, jioed just a teeny weeny little party to fit into the car. Therez very youthful Linn (joined us later and gosh, she waited so long for us!! Sorry!!), Sexy Lady, Big Boy (hereaft, BB) and Beenie, whom, flew us aeroplane for the 2nd time in record.
The 1st time Beenie flew us aeroplane was when we went for makan trip and suppose to go Sentosa see stars followed by sunrise followed by beach games. In the end, the trio (Sexy Lady, BB and Marpig) watched stars and sunrise together and nua on the beach ourselves b4 others joined in. Beenie came with a netball and left the trio.
This time, itz netballz fault again. Aft Beenie went netball training she said shez too tired to join us and once again, itz the uncanny trio (bless Marpig, she doesnt not wat does uncanny means)
Luckily the trio consists of 3 very crazy and xplosive members. :P
The journey begins as xpected, with Marpig being lost while driving to unfamiliar places. Starting from Bugis, met a fren who offered to help Marpig on how to get to Woodlands to fetch BB. Heu, her fren did not go with her and Marpig am left with a fren who doesnt noe how to read maps (she told Marpig we could "jump" from xpressway to xpressway, totally ignoring trees and structures and buildings) ... ...
Anyway, to avoid rush hour jam (not really appetising), Marpig decided to take a less trotted route, circumventing Orchard and BKE to get to KJE. BUT, ended up going to Tuas and couldnt find the xit to KJE from AYE. Biangz.
So fren and Marpig goes back AYE and ended up in NUS. By tt time BB called cos hez been waiting for 1/2 hour and Marpig hasnt reach Kranji MRT station. muhahahahahaha So, in the end, better to stay in Clementi and wait for BB to take MRT down.
Then, send fren back to city and went with BB to Owens Road to fetch Sexy Lady. End up both of us do not noe the way to Owens road but luckily Marpig noes how to get to KK and BBz gf stays ard tt area. Finally get to pick up Sexy Lady and itz... oh boy, 9pm!!
Aft much happy bickering of the trio in little car, we started off for 85!!
Right, trio didnt waste time in deciding wat to eat. Trio are decisive pple when it comes to food. Once we found a table (and kao. We found a round table with no table number and itz the ONLY round table in 85. Just tell food vendors THE round table and they noe where!!)
Unique table for unique pple!!
After chopping a seat with BB to 看水, Sexy Lady and Marpig immediately swept all stalls and ordered food like Tsunamis.
And these are wat were devoured by the Tsunamistic trio:
炒果条!!
菜头糕!!
肉挫面!!
不懂什么粥!!
Stingray!! Biangz!! *SLURP*
Noticed the food seem to have been nibbled on... cos BB kept saying hez famished and fd will be cold!! Duh... but seriously... the trio were really 狼吞虎咽!! *gobble gobble gobble!!*
After conquering 85, we started off for 豆浆油条!! We were in fact, late cos poor Linn was waiting for us and shez really tired (midnight is her bedtime!!) And, guess wat. Marpig am awarded with a fine for parking w/o coupon. Yeah. 50 dolla. kao. Wat can Marpig say?! *f##k*
Anyway, the trio were drunk from eating too much. So we tok and behaved funny at the 豆浆油条 place. Playing silly 豆奶 games like who can "kiap" the biggest pcs of 豆花 with a pair of chopsticks!! hahahaahaha All Linn could do was to watch with amazement (or amusement) at the most entertaining trio. Yes, we almost got the Fame Awards for Best Comedy, Best Actor and Actresses, Best Drama, Best Group, Best watever lah, b4 it became quite a copycat version of Oscar/Globe/etc fashion statement down the red carpet.
Wat a very "fulfilling" night indeed!!
(Aft sending Linn home, the trio nearly ate durians or went Serangoon for icecream!! But luckily we didnt!!)

Meanwhile, this time really feel the chong dong to hug my frens don noe why... maybe cos of the close encounter with fire? Ah... we need more hugs lah
Been lack of sleep and health is going downhill... throat hasnt been feeling gd... then worsened cos of crazy screaming at settlers cafe (cos over-xcited) and too much alchohol (which Marpig don drink)
The 1st th tt Marpig ate aft touchdown was seafood soup *ding ding ding!!* One food-to-eat ticked off the list!! :P)
Then met with JC classmates for dinner at COCA *ding ding ding*. Went settlers cafe aft dinner and played Jungle Speed, Fruity Fruity (not the name of the game which is supposed to be Halli Galli but thanks to XT, Fruity Fruity the game shall be called!! :P)) and Cranium!! Gosh!! Every1 was going goo goo ga ga and "violent" during the games!! hahahahahaha it was such great fun we didnt realise itz almost midnight and time to ciao. Sm of us went home while others went for a drink and catch up.
So, we tok bout food, JC crushes to politics!! OMG!! In the end, we went home at 515am!! But it was really so nice to meet up!! Had 2 glasses of margaritas and wow!! TTz quite alot for Marpig already!!
Having slept at 530am, Marpig then woke up at 9am to go meet PS at Orchard. Don 12 be late cos PS said she will chop Marpig to pcs if she is late hahahaha Then, Marpig wasnt late but guess wat? PS was at home... she tot Marpig will drive and fetch her at 10am... duh... ahhahahaha anyway, they met and had bf at Crystal Jade. Started shopping for gowns and Marpig was suppose to be the 1 buying gown, in the end, PS bought 1 for herself... (she made her decision while Marpig was still busy trying the gowns... how EFFICIENT) Then, upon hearing a lady performing on the harp, PS suggested they should sit down, lim kopi and jia loti (cakes actually). So sinfully, we ate chocolatey cakes... ooo~~~
Having shop the whole dae w/o dying, Marpig then met up with Uni classmates for dinner. Ate ramen *ding ding ding* and yak yak yak!! So fun!! Loves yakking with frens!!
Then, itz 930pm and Marpig got to rush to meet Beenie. Wow!! 3 "shows" in a dae!! Then went to top of the M and had 2 xpensive cocktails; Brandy Alexandra and Chinatown(?!)... (Marpig vows she will have a minibar at home next time for cocktail making) Then gave Beenie her gift and yak yak yak until almost 130am. Took a cab home and slept at 2am.
Woke up next dae at 1130am. Totally gong gong. Throat is horrendously painful and coughing lots. Whole dae passed by sisz and BIL fretting over final arrangements for wedding and had nasi padang (chilli prawns!!) *ding ding ding* in the afternoon!!
But, once again, slept really late at ard 315am... woke up at 645am this morning for sisz wedding!!
