just missing one or two...

Ahhh~ the good stories bout Ahhh~ Gong.

Yes as the message states:

"The Stories of Ah-Gong"
as told by:Uncle Wee Lee

Story 1:The "Totto Strength"
This story is about Ah-Gong gaining strength when the buying Totto comes. (Ah yes Cor-Yang... the amazing things Ah-Gong can do when Totto is involved.) As Ah-Gong had just finished lunch with Uncle Wee Lee, him and Uncle Wee Lee went to buy the weekly or more like Semi-Weekly Totto. Ah-Gong was complaining of leg pain etc...So Uncle Wee Lee said,"Ok lor...that means you can't go and buy Totto lor." All of a sudden, Ah-Gong ''gained magical strength'' to go buy his totto.

Story 2:The Early morning Laxative
This Story will not be posted until deemed fit by Cor-Yang, who was present.

Story 3:The Wandering Ah-Gong.
This happened just before I went to stay with Uncle Wee Lee for the first time in my holiday, when Cor-Yang was still around. Uncle Wee Lee told me this a few times and to me, a few different versions. During this time Ah-Gong was allowed to go buy Totto...On his own, this incident made Uncle Wee Lee not let him go out on his own, being a caring son. Ah-Gong went to buy his Totto as per normal and next thing he knew, he was in a ''land unknown''(according to him, yes I asked).In fact, he had wondered a few Kms away from the ''Chang-ri-la'' and had fainted due to heat(according to Uncle Wee Lee) and had minor injuries but had to go to hospital anyway to make sure nothing was wrong.

All this is a interpretation of Uncle Wee Lee's stories in my eyes. More stories when I remember or hear.

Into The Unknown

I was also at Chinatown a few days ago. In fact, I go there quite often now that Chinese New Year season is on. Its wayy too packed in there. Have you tried looking for hydrants amidst stores, people, discounts, advertisements? Yeah, so there.

Can't really find anything to blog about. Just more of a 'I miss december' and having the whole family back. The house is super quiet now that I actually have time to spare zz. Meanwhile, in terms of music, its finally done. A pretty good recording. Still a few things to be corrected, but hey its a decent demo.

I had a drum lesson at chinatown yesterday, and decided to take a walk. I think chinatown is soooo much better than ladies market lah. while the roads may not be as long, i think there is just as many things:
In other news, school is in! tutorials have yet to begin and its beginning to feel busy again. haha! keep a lookout for what's happening in church - lots of things are gonna happen!

(as you can see, most males are incapable of taking photos of themselves)

(back to school blues?)

And ah yes, yesterday took the two ngois out to vivocity to check out crocs (my only free day of the week until tutorials start!) i think vivo might classify as my new favourite hangout. the vivo crocs wasn't as big as i thought it was, so we rushed down to plaza sing, where the duo finally got what they came for; all the way, over miles and miles of ocean and land, to singapore - a pair of crocs.

(a modern day trojan horse?)

(to be or not to be?)

i shalt let the boys take photos of their pride and joy.

Student-friendly London

London is a student friendly place. Tickets for plays, when bought on the day itself, allows students to purchurse the best seats available for 25pounds. So i stand to save over 40pounds and still sit near the stage. Plus museums are mostly free. So its great!

Avenue Q. Dialogue is mature, which is why its R21 in SG. 21st century puppetry in a musical. 20pounds.

Wicked. The behind-the-scenes story of the Wicked Witch of the East and Oz. 25pounds.

Many more plays to watch here, next on the list, Les Miserables!

Other than plays, the temperature reached -5 one day. Not the best of experiences even though i'm fully covered. Other than that, the visit to the Tower of London was a blast! (student discounts once again). Its starting to warm up, and i'm really really glad. But, was able to pick up a 100% cashmere sweater at a sale for 40pounds, so it helps with the warmth.

Church at Kensington Temple is great, with a wide range of songs, familiar songs from 'mighty to save' to 'hosanna' to catchy ones like 'we have overcome' by Israel Houghton. During the worship session, the drummer never stops! Nicky will like the drummer here.

Enjoy the photos!

The White Tower (where the King lived, along with his royal zoo)

5pound fish and chips. an entire cod fish, so can't complain. (at least no dory, unlike SG)

Being a public nuisance

Peculiar Armour in archaic times. Jewel Protection is greatly exaggerated.

Tower of London at sunset. (SLR rules!)

Glad that my room is alive and well. alas, the ngoi diaspora is about to come full circle once more.

yesterday was JK's official last supper with family. he's back early to surprise mum! awww. anyway the ngois gathered at our pasir ris hangout to makan the usual crab noodles, kang kong, deep fried chicken wings and all the other dangerous foodstuff:

(the eating never stops)

(pretty colour-coordinated eh?)

haha - unfortunately, due to miscommunication, no one informed the the two brothers, so they were unable to partake of the wonderful supper. it seems the aunties have forgotten that they're big enough to be out on their own ;) lincoln is now a part-time car salesman, so if you have need of any vehicular transport, do approach him.

some other random photos:

(that classic look - the alden)

on another note, school has begun! it's been good to see friends again, and i'm back in my little room. here's to another semester!
and to getting back in shape.

oh, and God, may you have your way.

Day 7: departure

(in my heart, T3 will still be the best...)

back to heat, humidity, and oilier food. the very same day we depart from HK is the day when allan departs for stockholm. that makes what, 3 cousins in europe now? (ok, technically not till allan reaches stockholm). so 5 hours after landing, we are in changi airport again, admiring the hanging gardens and steel roof.
stockholm's weather isn't very forgiving now, but allan is well prepared - not to everyone present though ;)

(mistaken for a HK star or a bum?)

(awww!)

i bumped into audrey as well, who happened to be sending off someone who was a family friend - his mum was there too, and so i called my mum:

(ah... the good' ol days?)

(the niece eating her piece)

Turns out SIA food is pretty good! this is their oriental starter - basically achar with roast duck. mmmm. kudos to the chefs! AND WE HAD HAAGEN DAAS ICE CREAM. in economy class! (does business class get BnJs?)
ah yes, being home means i have my SD card reader. check back on some of the older posts in a few days time ;)
