Sending Family to China!

What have I accomplished on my Off Day? 

Youngsters spend their off day to shop, dine, movies and clubbing and I spent my one and only off day this week to send my family off to the airport. I'm gonna miss my family when they are gone. 

I really had no idea how am I supposed to suppress my emotions if weren't for Hui Jie's accompany to the airport. He's a very nice friend who actually bothers to hang out with me on my off day. Our plan was actually:

1.  Lunch at the Airport

2.  Send off my family

3.  Interview with Samsung 

4.  Collection of my salary

My parents were very kind to him. My dad insisted to stand a treat for Hui Jie at The Coffee Bean. Hui Jie politely rejected my dad's offer and told him he just had his lunch. After Dad's persistence, Hui Jie just made an order for a $3 muffin.

I realized that Mom seems to trust Hui Jie massively because she saw him a few times this year and had spoke to him personally. 

This Hazelnut costed about ten bucks after the GST and taxes.

Hohoho. Merry Christmas. CHRISTMAS IS APPROACHING in an one and a half month's time!

Time flies like arrows. More than two months had passed and my parents are looking forward to see their beloved daughter after so long. Images of my mom cried her eyes out when my sister bade her adieu with a tight hug appeared in my mind. I can see the eagerness in both my parents' eyes when they sat down at The Coffee Bean.

In the photo below, dad was busying texting my sister. My parents love my sister a lot. They actually bring in a lot of daily necessities and foods in for her. It brings tears to my eyes whenever those images flash in my mind. The cut is so deep and it hurts into my soul.

Enough of sad posts. I wager my brother is eagerly waiting to see my sister as well as the snow there. We have never see snow in real life and my sister actually saw them before we did!  Few days ago, my sister Whatapps us photos of her in snowing Beijing! How fortunate! I'm so looking forward to see what story my family is going to tell when they come back!

My kind mom collected the food from the counter and brought them over to us.

The Coffee Bean already made their staffs donned on a Santa's hat 1.5 months in advance of Chirstmas. How adorable. 

Fifteen minutes after sitting down at the table, dad is still eagerly communicating with my sister. This shows how much love dad shower on her. :')

My Chicken Wrap! Looks pretty crummy but heck, it costed a bomb to buy it!

Thanks to Hui Jie, here are a few pictures we took outside the Departure Hall before they left for China!

Surge of unbearable emotions ballooned in my heart when I saw my family admitting to the departure hall! Tears streamed down my face inevitable when they left. They will never know how I'm going to miss their presence when they are not around.

Hope you guys enjoy the reunion with our dear sister! Share with us the experiences when you're back. Shi Hui and I are going to miss you people!

(:

Dad's 50th Birthday Celebration at Ichiban

Dad finally has finally live pass half a century on Oct 7, 2012 (Sunday)! Happy 50th Birthday, dad! It's a shame my younger sister wasn't here with us to witness Dad's most valuable moment. 

Compared with my half-centurian dad, I have not even live a quarter of century, not until two to three years time!! No mockery involved. It was merely a statement of fact.. 

Trash aside, we made our way to Parkway Parade for a meal together at Ichiban Boshi. Prior to that, dad seemed to have a thirst to taste the food at the chinese seafood restaurant next to Ichiban, named Pu Tien. However, when he noticed the reluctance in my eyes he decided that we would eat in Japanese Restaurant

Sigh, I feel so unfilial.

The reason why we chose Parkway Parade for Dad's celebration was for the end of my convenience as I was working at Best Denki in the same building. Haiz, why out of 365 days, Oct 7 and Lantern Festival must fall on Sunday!! Nope, I should ask why out of so many Sundays I couldn't remember these two days fall on a Sunday. LOL!

An array of delicate sushi and Japanese delicacies!

Gunkan maki

The whole time Dad wasn't enjoying the cuisines this Japanese restaurant could provide. I don't really comprehend why Shantelle and Ding Sheng ordered Sashimi (raw fish) and I never will ever understand what makes the taste of a raw fish that awesome. Dad doesn't adore the idea of raw fish, claiming that eating them up excessively would make our stomaches spoilt!

An array of delectable sushi moved along on the conveyor belt.

Dad grimaced between each bites of the raw fish. I should have videoed down his amazing, priceless expression and titled it Dad's Response to Sashimi.

Gayness overload. LOL

Look at dad! I'm sure the whole meal his face was that grumpy. 

That's my Teriyaki Chicken Don!!!

You are turning 50! 

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

The bill will be shared among the rest of us. In the meantime, I am unable to pay back the money until I received my salary. Sigh, so many debts to pay off. Right now, I don't even have a single cent in my bank!

Upon paying the bill, my family sent me off to work at Best Denki!!

Sunday Meal

Shantelle's Belated Presents

My elder sister's birthday has already passed a week and it's like I hadn't got our drawing presented yet! Hence, in order not to drag things further I handed her both the birthday card and the portrait.

When she received the presents her first reaction was like, OMG My hair looks so thick on the drawing! Then she was like, why do I have cavities? Previously, she picked on my first drawing of her as fat and she had also spotted a pair of slanted eyes on it (Check this picture below). 

The first drawing I drew for my sister.

 Hey, I actually spent time drawing the details okay (as evident on the pictures below)! Some critics just don't justify the time I spent on the picture.

She's appreciative of the effort we have put it during the preparation. I could see that she really adore the signatures and well-wishes we've gotten from all of our available relatives on last last Sunday (Credits go to my brother for the effort).

 My incomplete artwork!

 My brother and I displayed our end product to Daphne while dad was doing web-cam with her. The moment she saw the picture, for some odd reasons she laughed it off before saying she was speechless. I hope she wasn't giving bad critiques on our 'masterpiece'.

What do you think? 

Sending Daphne off to the Airport!!

My younger Sister, Daphne Ong is going for four months to China and will be back only by the spring of 2013!

It's hard to say goodbye. 

That sentimental feeling engulfed my heart when my sister hugged and bade adieu to all of us. That moment was precious and unforgettable. Mom was deeply hurt by the 4-month long separation with her younger daughter. When Daphne hugged her the second time before she left for the arriving plane, both of them were crying painfully- mom's tears were priceless.

As for myself, tears formed up in my eyes when I witnessed such a touching scene. It reminded how unbearable my mom was when my elder sister left for China five years ago. It hurts me a lot to see them crying! 

Amazing 3D drawing!
