New Year's Eve 2007

All glamed up and ready for the party Louie's mum got tickets for. It was a countdown in conjunction with dinner and some ballroom dancing. Louie's mum mentioned the dress code was formal. I thought I was a little too underdressed in my simple SGD $32 white tube dress, curled hair and silver themed accessories, thank God it turned out alright. :) Marion, Dino and Louie were dressed similarly too! Louie was extremely handsome in his jacket, checked shirt, and jeans
I met Marion for the first time. I really like her. She's sporty, candid and she loves desserts. Plus I think since we have similar taste in men( Dino and Louie are bros), it was hard not to like her. She was dressed in a pretty peach dress and she looked really good with Dino.. :)

Louie's mum, she's easily the most outstanding woman in the ballroom.
Guess what? Dancefloor champs, Vas and Pris were invited to dance! I was blessed to have witnessed their talent

That's Louie's dad! He insisted on a picture with the 3 ladies..hiak hiak
So cute! I teased him about looking like this everyday, and I might just propose to him..











Sneaked off from the ballroom to the playground at the country club.


Mr Tan Louis Stevenson, may I know how you can look all macho like a cowboy, BUT CLUTCH my purse like there's no tomorrow?????!?!?
After dinner, we were sort of coerced to join the older crowd on the dance floor
Dancing to Let' s do the twist! I adore Dino's petrified expression!!!


The bros did some kind of robotic dance..
Dino and Marion. So sweet tog!!!!!!!!!
Who ever says that only the young can party? For Louie's parents, life begins at 50! Louie's dad can really gyrate!! His hip thrusts put John Travolta to shame... The funky parents were the life of the party. Marion, Dino, Louie and I were infected by the dance bug! Jitterbugging!!!!!!!!!Was made to dance in the centre of the circle... hehe. I like my hair!!!!!!!!
After the countdown, we headed over to Dempsey to visit a pub newly opened by Aunty's friend. Before that, it was ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The minibus outside Ben & Jerry's!!!
Our Mocktails, Fries, Wedges and Chicken Wings.. I LOVE MY Fried CARBO!!!!!!! The pub was pretty packed with young adults because of the amazing decor. It had the right tinge of edginess, nice huge TV and very nice mixes. Dempsey's the next big thing...
The bartenders were well versed in their bottle juggling..-grin- The pictures don't do the place justice.. you'll love it!

Louie's parents are such a joy to be with. I am blessed not only with a wonderful boyfriend, but also his loving family :)

Christmas 2007

Hello World! I'm back from MIA-ing for the longest time due to back to back dance practice. Here's half a post for now - Christmas 2007! Will update with New Year's Eve and New Year 2008 pics soon!!

Early Christmas celebration with Shiming, a dear friend I've come to treasure from my nerdy days as a Chemist in NUS. We've been through highs and lows, and we've promised each other to keep in contact for the rest of our lives. It's a desire I wish to see come through :)
Shiming got me my fav famous amos cookies and a nice key chain with my name on it!!!
It was mostly chit-chatting about our future, what we want etc.. we've all grown up..


Thank you for spending your day with me Shiming. The warmth of friendship...
The 24th was spent in Daddy's church. Went to support the girls whom I choreo-ed for. Guess what? Louie's whole family turned up as well. It was so sweet of them! Dino (Louie's bro) teased him about our parents meeting for the first time. It turned out pretty well.. peranakans bond over food I suspect -grin-

With the cast
Couldn't resist taking a picture with the prettiest princess in the hall, Celeste, my neighbour!Christmas day itself. Louie took my family to the movie's! We watched The Legend and had dinner at the rice table.




This is what Louie looks like when he sees my dad!!!!! Wahahahhahah!!!!!

Did a show for Tagger bags and Headline clothing at Zouk. Goth, street, spunk. I loved doing the event! Made lotsa friends!



My outfit. I had eyeliner so thick enough t0 force Amy Winehouse into a jealous fit!



Changed out into my own outfit and played around with expressions! The power of eyeliner!!!!


Dec 29th - Belated Christmas celebration. It was a simple, warm-hearted affair with the nicest people! Here's the early birds, pretty Chien and Pei Huan, and the boys, Desmond and Paul!
Joy and Cherm came a little later..


Coincidentally, Louie and I wore the same shade of blue!

After the pot luck session, Louie and I placed water balloons into the rooftop jacuzzi and made the guests reach for their balloons smack in the middle of the jacuzzi. They tried to get each other wet, tried to cheat... -grin- well, we HAD to make them work for their gift exchange!!
Popping the balloons! Poor Joy!! I find the expression adorable!!!!!Group shot!

Look at Chien's expression!!!!!!!!!!! eeekkks..I like!

We tried a jump shot.. okay I think only Pei Huan, Chien and I succeeded
Still no go..
We give up!
Tada!! Our gifts.. I got a super bling tee from Cherm, just right for my hip hop dance practice!

Chien in her pretty dress. She looked extremely pretty that evening.. even Pei Huan said so!!

Doreen's gift!
And of course Louie's.. his head massager..hiak hiak..
He LOVES IT cause he's an alien wannabe!
I had such a great time. Pei Huan, thank you for coming despite your tight schedule the next morn. I enjoyed our talk so much.. you're a really special girl, always remember that my friend!
Dearie, thank you for being the best partner in the world when it comes to organising parties.. :)
