Settler's cafe we went to. There are 11 of us. The 2 B-day peeps are Han Wei and Min Hui. Then there are Constance, Sherman, Esther, Hao Jie, Cheryl, Aubrey, Jian Wen, Addison, and me. When we first arrived, Constance told me that the place smells, as in it has a weird odour, like cookie(which is her dog). I agreed. I guessed that it might be due to all the board and card games items.
You see, Settler's cafe is a cafe where the main attractionis not their food. It is their games. Board and card games.
The smell disappear when we started to have fun.
To tell you the truth, I am not good at reaction game. I have relatively slow reaction compared to the rest of them. Haha. I was not as fast and witty as before.
I do not know the names of the games that I played, it is also very hard to describe all. i can tell you some. Do you remember this entry? Okay, one of the game is identical to that game. Instead there are dedicated animal picture cards instead of poker cards. We need to make animal sounds, but I (knowing that I am now slower) suggested that we call out the animal names instead of calling out the animal sound. At first, Han Wei was the one who got the most cards. This was because he kept on laughing and laughing and laughing and could not react in time to the card. But in the end, I was the one who was laughing and could not concentrate well. In a folly's moment, I "deprived" Han Wei of all his cards. I think you can read the other games and how they are played from the officail settler's website , or from the official website. The other one is about hand actions. Players must perform out the hand actions on the card, the slower one take the card (similar?). Actually the first game we played is some sort of a brick game board game. But it's quite different. I do not know how to describe.
The other interesting thing is how the 2 of them tried to blow out all the relighting candles. The challenge was that if they can blow out all the candles, we will be treating them, otherwise, they will the ones buying the bill. But of course we did not really want them to pay up. We just want them to have fun, trying to blow out all the relighting candles. After the thing, Han Wei told us that he thought that he had extinguished about half the candles, but when he turned his head back after he took his breath, he was surprised to see that they are still there, strong and lighted!

Things that make my stomach ache
Hey, those people who can't stand shit, haha.. please refrain from reading this entry.
Although this is a very casual topic, this is no over-the-tea-time type of topic. It is kind of funny even for me to be sharing this. But I just want people to know a bit more of how some part of me works, physically.
1) When I am in a very cold environment.
I usually sleep in air-conditioned room. In the wee hours of the morning, I would wake up in a sudden, because I have stomachache. Even when I am in a very cold place not necessarily while sleeping, I would have that stomachache feeling. Not every time, sometimes, when the air gets real cold and chilly. It affects my stomach.
2) When I did not cover my abdomen area and belly button with something when I sleep.
The other times I would experience stomachache in the wee hours of the morning is because I did not cover my belly button up well. Either i would have to have my jacket on, or I would need to use an extra pillow to cover my belly button. I guess the 'wind' gets inside me. It affects my stomach.
3) When I ate a very hot and spicy meal.
My mouth can take the hotness and spiciness, come on, give me more. My mouth is not afraid of hot and spicy stuffs! Well maybe I am not afraid if it, not at the moment, but I usually will be afraid the next day. I think my mouth can take the spiciness, but my stomach cannot. tI am guessing that the capsaicin gives me the pain. It affects my stomach.
4) When I eat a mean at a friend's house.
I do not know why, but whenever I am having my mean, towards the end of the meal, there would be rumbling in my stomach, just like butterflies flying violently around in the abdominal cavity. I am guessing that it is psychological in nature. I respond well when I eat outside, I respond well when I eat at my relatives' place. I am not very used to eating at friends' house. It affects my stomach.
5) When I think I ate something that was not properly processed.
I think everybody understands what this means, right? Sometimes, you knew that you have ate something wrong when have the runs, and you thought and guessed that you know exactly what that you ate made you in excruciating pain. It is those kind of food that you knew that you should not have ate. It affects my stomach.
6) When it is time to do it.
Well, it just affects my stomach.

Twinkle Twinkle so many Stars
I went to the market along Hougang Ave 1. It is called Hainanese Village. I went there with my sister and cousin for breakfast.
Due to the fact that I did not have enough sleep (bad habit of mine; sleeps at 2-3 am , then I have to wake up @ 8-9 today), I just walked past the crowd because I was concentrating on getting my breakfast when I reached the market. Escaping my vision was the cast and crew of Mediacorp staffs, filming. I guess it is for 手足 2, since they are the same bunch of artists, and some of them spot the same image/hairstyle as in 手足1. When I was approaching the stall that I have decided to patronise, then my sister asked me,“ 有没有看到？” This was when I walked back to check it out. We stayed around the set for a while so see how the scene was being filmed. Lin Ming Lun was being smashed with eggs. Poor thing. A lot of times, at least 10 eggs, at least.
Can you see the egg shells on his head?
Can you see the egg yoke on the floor?
"When will it be my turn?" *scratch scratch*
Actually that was not Lin Ming Lun's only egg-smashing scene. This is only the beginning.
After we bought our food (Hup Li bee Hoon for them, and Vegetarian Bee Hoon for me) , we sat down at a table quite near to the set so that we are able to watch most of the filming process with ease. Then we noticed that the main characters of that particular scene are only Lin Ming Lun and Cynthia Koh. The rest of them have minor parts in that scene, so they are taking a rest after they have done their part. They gathered around and occupied a table. I saw Liu Zi Xuan queueing at the famous kopi stall. After a long while, she is still queuing at the kopi stall, but it was already her turn to order. We continued to watch the "performance" of egg throwing and squabbling. Cynthia was scolding at the auntie who threw eggs at her "husband". I got myself a cup of soya bean drink while I continue to admire the sights. Cynthia's line were “你够了没有啊！” Then she went forward to confront the auntie. The director tried different ways of doing that scene. One was to ask Cynthia to scold the auntie. Another was to snatch away her bag of eggs. I think they ended up doing the scene which shows Cynthia smashing an egg on the auntie's head, causing the latter to walk away mumbling to herself.
In the end, we decided that we have to take photographs with some of the artists.
Too bad my cousin did not want to appear in the picture. Wow, Xiang Yun did not look a year over 30! I think that Ann Kok had lost some of her fans, because of her taking a break from acting a few years ago. And Liu Zi Xuan is very pretty, even though she ought to be appearing as a boyish character. (look at her nautica watch!)
Girl meets girl
I have got such a big head, I guess a few strands more hair and I will be a proud owner of an Afro! Somehow, she seems to look puny beside me.
After She took photographs with us, she commented that we are all very tall. Haha. And asked us how old are we. As my sister could not really remember what her Chinese name is (Zi Hui? Zi Shan? Zi Si? Zi Xuan?) as her real name is sort of similar to her 7pm show name which is Zi Hui. So she told us to just call her Jessica. What a gal.
What a morning.

Relive the moments
I decided to go for a swim today, since the weather is so good, with the big bright illuminating godsend sun high up above the sky so high. But I was in for a deep down the ocean floor seabed disappointment when I come to know that all Singapore Sports Council (SSC) facility are closed today as it is the SSC family day, I could not even go to the other branch even if i wanted to. I saw the notice when I went swimming last week, but I could not remember that is says that it would be on the 6th of September.
Okay, now, to relive the moments. About 3 weeks ago, I saw this
at Suntec. (remember this pic from my entry titled "Series of fortunate and unfortunate events"? Remember me telling you how much I wanted a V-neck tee? )
A few days later (13th Aug), I went shopping with my mother and sister @ Bishan and I bought a white version of this V-neck long sleeved tee. Another few days later, I went to Suntec again and saw this
Exactly the one that that I bought
I did not really get a shock when I saw that Pastor Ruth's nephew and niece went missing (again, that is why I was not so shocked) on the 6pm news. Made a short prayer. I did not want to call up Pastor Ruth, as I did not know how to talk to her. But seeing that they found the pair from the 10 pm news. The news made a mistake by saying that they are twins. They are not. One is P6, one is P4.
Ok, that is all folks! (",)
