Fun, laughter, jokes and embarrassment are what you get if you put 4 girls (who are all bloggers) together. I meet up with some fellow Singapore bloggers, Ivy, Brenda and Cherlynn last Saturday during our monthly meetup session. Terry, our wonderful organiser couldn’t make it because he was sick. With one more guy, it would be a blast! We miss you Terry, hope you get well soon.
We meet up at Relax Bistro at Somerset 313 for lunch and here’s a peek of what we had.

Delicious looking soup

Grilled Chicken

Cherlynn is totally (not) camera-shy!
After a hearty lunch, Brenda suggested going to the flea market near by. As I’ve never been to a flea market, I gladly agreed, so did the rest of the girls. The last time I tried to go to a flea market, I spend 2 hours trying to find my way, got lost and never made it there in the end.
Come to think of it, I’ve done a couple of things I’ve never done before that day. I have never withdraw cash from an ATM machine nor have I ever been to a flea market before Saturday. I can explain myself. Let me see, the probability of Dayna losing her wallet is 10% and the probability that she will drop some cash when she opens her wallet is 30% which is about 40% in total and this is considered high risk. To mitigate the financial risk, it’s safer for her to bring lesser cash when she leaves the house. Sounds cool?
Since it was my first time, I thought it was normal that I inserted the card in the wrong direction! Ivy helped me on that and Brenda even conducted an interview with me. I feel grown up to have finally used the ATM machine (lol).

The gang went out to celebrate Sharon’s belated 21st birthday yesterday. We went to sing at K-Box, followed by dinner at Waraku. The lamest joke of the day was when Sin Yin asked James if he could rap and Yee Loong replied “I can crap”.
That was so hilarious!

Happy Birthday, Sharon

Just thought I would draw a different illustration for each of the “vote-for-me” advertisement. Please help vote for Amour Chaleur under hand drawing style in Best WordPress Design Award if you like this design. I would greatly appreciate it if you can drop me a vote! Thanks for everyone who liked this design and has voted.

Cupcake Mash
On a side note, I have destroyed all the previous premade layouts and have added a new one. I feel that the old ones are of poor quality as they were made by me more than 3 years ago and I didn’t liked them anymore. Thus, I decided to revamp the entire premade layouts section. But as I’m running out of time due to exams preparations, I only put up a new layout – Cupcake Mash. There are quite a number of new ones coming in June with WordPress compatible themes as well. Stay tune! Meanwhile, you can check out the preview and/or download it over here. @loveivy also gave me an idea to have a free clipart/illustration section for my visitors. I’m keeping this idea in mind and hopefully add it in during my June holidays.

Chinese sentences written by kids in local schools
I saw this in the local Chinese newspaper yesterday. After reading it, I can proudly say that my Chinese isn’t that bad. Yes, I’m a 100% Chinese. However, my command of the Chinese language (both written and spoken) isn’t that good. I’m only a grade B student in this language as compared to my good buddies like Sharon, Ben and Huaian who are extremely good in Chinese. But the Chinese standards of children these days are terrible. I think horrible would be a more appropriate word. Not to mention how sarcastic the remarks of the teachers are, but nevertheless it’s still humorous to read. I laughed non stop after reading it. I think the teachers who are marking those homework must either be fainting or having heart attacks. No wonder they always say, it’s not easy being a teacher especially a Chinese language teacher.
