I was walking around the shops in Orchard. And suddenly, I saw groups of junior college girls shopping for their prom night. Yes, that time of the year is here.

This brought me thinking to my own prom night in JC. I have no idea why, but it seemed that it was no big deal in my JC. We didn't have prom dates; we went as a class. Our prom king was a joke, seriously. Our prom queen thought she was getting married that night, and was all dressed in white, and her prince charming was also dressed in white. After the draggy dinner, everyone except the commitee went down to boat quay to celebrate in a less stuffy environment. I still remember that night. Students from VJC, ACJC and SAJC were all gathered at Boat Quay after their dinner, which happened to be on the same night. And I had to call my dad to come fetch me and my friends home as we could not get a cab during the wee hours of the morning!

And Kae is 22 months old!

Oops, I missed the date. But Kae juz turned 22 months old on the 10th. Reaching her terrible twos soon. Though I think she has already reached that stage. Hah!

Annual Golf event

And so we went down to the Barclays Singapore Open 2009 on days 3 and 4.

This time, we brought Kae with us on day 3. But as children under the age of erm, 16 or 18? are not allowed into the Barclays Pavilion, we had to take turns to go into the Pavilion and have our lunch. Hah! They should really set up an area where families can bring their kids along. Hey, now golf is a damn popular sport among the kids.

And so we brought Kae and pushed her along while we walked the course. She fell asleep after a while so it was easier on us. But we didn't really stay long though. Heck. It was damn hot and tiring after a while, so we left early. Which works out well, as it started to rain soon after we left.




We went back on day 4 without Kae. Which meant we enjoyed our lunch and tea and drinks in peace. Heh. And were able to walk for a longer time at the course.


We followed Els for like 7 holes, after which we went back to the Pavilion. Think he was trying to get a breather after one of his shots. He just walked out of the greens, and to where we were standing. Hah. Everyone were like trying to take shots of him, and take shots beside him.


Oh, and we got a real close up shot of Adam Scott!

Kae and her new Purple friend

Kae now has a new purple friend.

I think you can all guess who the friend is. Yes, it's Barney. She grew to lurve Barney only recently, even though she's been watching Barney on Playhouse Disney channel since like forever. She pronounces Barney as Barbey. Heehee.

We just bought her the floppy Barney soft toy last week, and it has been her favourite companion since. Goodbye Carebear, Barney has taken over your place. Hah!

Tokyo Trip day 8

Day 8 is the last day of our Tokyo trip.


We were supposed to board the plane back to Singapore at 1130am, but due to the Typhoon Melor, our flight was pushed back to 730pm. SIA actually called us the night before to inform us. So, we made arrangements to change our airport limousine bus ride and did not get stranded at Narita.

The wind and rain was quite heavy in the morning, but by 11am, the skies were clear!




I dunno if we were unlucky or lucky; a friend who was in Tokyo right after us had fine sunny weather her entire trip of around the same length of days. But seriously, I was grateful that even though we had rainy weather, we could still manage to walk around and look see in that kind of rainy weather.

We did nothing much on the last day. Basically we slept in, walked around the hotel, the gift shops, and out of the hotel.



Oh, and because our flight was delayed, we were given 2 meal coupons to spend at any restaurants within Narita. Hah! Hence, we had our final meal in Tokyo at Narita before we boarded the plane.



Sigh, I do miss Tokyo!
