Did I hear, Bowling?

These are the pictures from Bowling the other day. I admit, these weren't the nicest picture. And I took them for the sake of a vague remembrance. It might not be the most ideal thing to do when you are oversea, but nonetheless it was one hell of a fun family bonding time! You must be thinking, did the baby followed as well? Nopp, mom offered to stay home to take care of baby for a couple of hours. Truth be told, I honestly don't think mom would enjoy Bowling, seriously. Ha. 

Just like any other Bowling lanes. That's Abby playing on the joystick stuffs. 

... on the other side, there is something like an arcade centre. They have pool, dancing machines and other games as well as a cafe.  

Getting ready. 

Very ugly and uncomfortable shoes. I don't understand why have to wear their shoes to play. I think I'd play better if I were in my own shoes. I could have won! 

I haven't touch Bowling in a very long time! I was once a so-called AJK in the Bowling Club in my secondary school, that was like what, Form1? Lol. Yes, just a position by name. 

Even kids get to play! I never notice they have this rack intended for toddlers who are little. Bro actually recorded the first part of bowling. But it was too uninteresting to show. Seeing me lose is not interesting!  

She was the first to go and she got a strike! I swear I never felt so threaten before! Gosh, she was leading all the way and her dad finally caught up with her. Dad was the champ while she running up 2nd. ...and me hor, umm... I... was the loser of the day lor. So lousy can. I'm suppose to be the youngster and full of energy yadayada, yet I lose to old people and a kid. Bro say I bowl like throwing a coconut. Until now I don't get how that two can relate. =.= 

Tiring, but blissful. Never laughed so much in one day, 

definitely never cheered so crazily as though no one is watching. 

This family, I love. Xoxo. 

my kfc obsession.

KFC! @Merry Hill

It is the most expensive KFC I've ever had. One set of this (as showns above), costs £3.59. And it just have to be the cheapest set they have. Anyhow, that meal totally settled my craving for KFC since I've been here. I know! Why would people miss fast food when they are oversea! I don't know, I just do. At that very same moment, I fell in love. Fell in love with the Coke drink I ordered. I was pretty upset that I chose Coke over Sprite because I really would prefer Sprite (less colouring). That waiter talked so fast and she made me nervous. A slip of the mouth I said ''oh, Coke please.'' I malu want to change cause I scared she'd judge us Asians why so indecisive and roll eyes at me. ( I know I'm pretty imaginative.) BUT, that is the best Coke I've ever tasted! I wonder what extra ingredient they mixed in but the more I drink the more I thirst for it! If you don't know, I'm strictly not a soft drink person. I'll go for my iced water and suet char most of the time. 

This Coke is... hysterically awesome. *salivates*  

I just retrieved the photos from the day trips. Will upload it some other time. 

I find this very cool. BST (British Summer Time) means you are suppose to move your clock forward by an hour. My bro just retuned the clock. Supposedly its 12am now, but due to the BST, it's 1am. I'm really not sure how it works. Google it up if you want to know. In other words, we only have 23hours on Sunday. While during winter, similar routine applied. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), means you move your clock backward by an hour, ironically you really do get 25hours a day! annually. Well, if only you are in UK that is. 

BFFAEA. (best friend forever and ever amen)

Happy Birthday Nicole Ng! 

Please let me remind you, you are turning 20 on 26th of March. Gosh, TWENTY! You must be thinking how time flies. No one has yet to know the answer either. 

I've known you for 5 wonderful years. Despite all the arguments and dramas, we are still the best of friends, even until now. You are always like a big sister to me, because I'm always too noob to do things myself. You have definitely helped me a lot through all these years. So many times we've almost cried together, (well I think you cried more than I do. ) so many secrets we've shared with each other. For all you know, you are now half the globe far away from me, but no distance too far, for you are always remembered by heart. 

I thank you for all the times you willingly borrowed your shoulder for me to cry on, but no thank you for the emo songs you made me listened. ( kiddingg..) And all the times you took care of me, and made me awesome sandwiches. Speaking of food, I miss your cooking so much! You are an angel that always have people's (especially me =p) interests at heart. Forever ready to help without complaint. You are too nice to be just a friend, you are my family. (= 

I love you nic. XOXO. 

(cant wait to visit you!!)

Just the ordinary.

Initial plan for today is to go window shopping at Oxford. It is about an hour drive from home and the reason I said window shop is that although it's a factory outlet for high end brands (eg. Gucci, Prada and whatnot), some way we believe it ain't going to be cheap. Haha. Actually I have no idea. 

But, after Birdland and Morrison yesterday, one of the tyre bailed on us. We decided to hand the matter into our own hands and try to fix it. After all, it's just about changing a flat tyre only innit? Anyone who passed the driving test should know how. Yea, by right SHOULD know.     

Abby wants to help her daddy. 

After an hour we still could not remove the goddamn tyre out. Oh trust me, we even tried googling and youtube. None worked. The kepoh neighbours came to chat. We gave up eventually. At the end, called the mechanics and paid 75pounds to get everything done.  

Perhaps I shouldn't write 'we' and rephrase it to 'them' instead. Why, do I look like somebody who knows how to change a tyre??? Abby and I were playing games at the porch the whole time. Ngeks.  

Ahh, what a nice sunny day. Flowers everywhere are blossoming. It looks as if a vibrant colour carpeted the ground. Of bright yellow and purple! I love spring! Makes me want to run freeeeee and siiiiing. *drama* 

Lack of schleep! No more waking up at ten in the morning! 

I cant believe I actually show my naked face. blah. 

Later today we went bowling! Will write about that soon. X.

Anyone knows how to turn off the Twitter Authenticity window thinggy?  

one more week only! feeling sappy. @.@

I find myself quite hardworking these days. I update the blog pretty often, didn't I? say YES! and mean it. Here's the Wtf Factor : Many afternoons I thought to myself, ''hey, since I'm so free, why not I spare some time update the blog a bit. NO, WAIT, I just updated something this morning! (I usually update posts in the middle of the night eg. 2am) Um, okay then I'll update it tomorrow. ''

Yea, very wtf indeed. 

Yesterday's tomorrow is today, so here I am again. I brought daddy to Bullring on...*after 5minutes* ... grr, scratch that. What else, to shop la. My dad likes to window shop one okay. We spent one whole afternoon walking from shop to shop, dressing room to dressing room and of course, cashier to cashier. We ended with so many bags, and rather heavy as well. As guilty as I still am now, most of them are mine. )=  But hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not bragging anything here unlike other people(s). pfft. Half of it is from Primark. Primark totally rules man! 

On a random note, I wonder if they have a Primark fanpage on FB. I want to join! I'll always and forever be their loyal and faithful fan.  

Bullring's trademark : bull la. Duh. There's another one made of steel(?) outside the mall. But this one in Selfridges totally captured my heart, almost instantly.  

One whole big bull made of JELLY BEANS!! 

whoo dooesn't like jelly beans! I'll be more than happy IF I could just nibble this tail for a while. 

This is me today, fyi. 

Put on weight for a little (or a lot), I know. 

Went to Birdland at Burton-on-water. Strange name. 

I took tons of pictures, and the a lot more from the Nature Park last week. 

...soon, soon. Xo. 

I want to be a Princess!

I was pretty reluctant to go in the first place because I thought : Nah, I'm too old for all these princesses thinggy. I'd never marry a prince, leave it happily ever after. On second thought, why not? It probably be once in a lifetime and I'm sure it would be quite entertaining considering the fact that it costs 17pounds per ticket. So Andrea, Abby, me and mom went for a girls night out to Disney LIVE! Three Classic Fairy Tales. I tell you how wrong was I. I totally enjoyed it to bits! It's almost like reliving my childhood (although I don't quite remember most of it )! Everything was so goddamn magical! As if I'm in my own fairy tale myself! The performers were extremely gorgeous and the costumes are absolutely alike with the one we watched in the cartoon. I think I might want their gown as my wedding dress. They sparkled like mad, oh-so-romantic lor. I thought I hated Snow White (don't ask me why), but surprisingly, it was her theme song that got me tearing! God knows how much it touches me. Then, followed up by Cinderella and the last one was Belle.  

I took so many pics, from my phone. Pardon me for the crappy quality as I've seated quite a distance from the stage. 

Disney LIVE! Three Classic Fairy Tales @The NIA

We were 15minutes early and the place was rather filled up.

The stage. They have people selling all kinds of Disney merchandises and snacks. 

Me & Abby

...in her Snow White costume! So adorable kan! 

...and I've spotted another Snow White in front of me (actually many more in the arena), and beside her I think its Cinderella. 

Donald, Minie, Mickey, and Goofy. 

Snow White singing by the well with her birdie friends. 

The evil stepmother/ queen/ the ugly old hag doing the 'Mirror, mirror on the wall...' talk. 

The seven dwarfs. I don't know all their names. HA. 

The old hag offering Snow White the poisoned apple. 

Poor Snow White fell into a deep deep sleep. 

Ta daaa, the prince did a magical kiss and they live happily ever after. No one knows what happened to the evil queen. 

Yay! Cinderella and the stepmother. Goofy narrating the beginning of the story. 

Annoying two stepsisters. They acted as though same from the cartoon itself. Brilliant! 

The animal friends that made her a dress for the ball. 

Cinderella got stripped off and her favourite fairy godmother appeared. 

Dippidy-Babbedy-Boo! Poof! She got this gorgeous shimmering dress. So pretty!!! 

At the ball, dancing with the prince. As usual she ran off before the clock strike twelve...

... and she purposely left her glass shoe on the stairs. yada yada yada, the prince found her. Hence again, they lived happily ever after. 

Hello, I'm Belle. I'm a nerd and I like to read. (No offence to Belle's fans.) JKJK. 

More singing....

OH no! The Beast got my daddy as prisoner! I will replace him and stay in this ugly castle forever! 

Dancing with the Candle, Teapot and Clock. 

She was very amused by the cutleries-come-alive thing. 

She went out to see her sick father, the Beast was very sad. Gaston found out about the Beast and  went to his castle to kill him. He was hurt, then Belle came back. He said I love you, then she said I love you too. Dang Dang Dang, everything changed to be very cheerful again. 

The Beast changed into a handsome prince and Belle changed into her beautiful princess gown. They danced and ended the song staring into each other's eye. 

Almost the finale. Princesses waltz out with their princes. That's Cinderella with her hubby. Ahh.. chandeliers. 

Snow White with her hubby. 

The finale. Everyone is in their gold and glamour baju. 

Mickey as the main character as usual. 

The End. 

OK, the moral of the story is : I want to go to DisneyLand!!!!! *BF TAKE NOTE* 

The musical/theater was superb! It was definitely a magical trip back to the good ol' days. Though my captions were...bit bored because I'm writing this at 2am in the morning! eff tired. 

It was never a bored moment in there. Even to the 1001 time I'm watching the same story, I would still love it. When I was much younger, I thought it could be real (in some part of me I still do). But now, when I watched it, I missed the simplicity of my childhood. Not yearning that the story line would come to pass but just admiring how love could be that simple.
