Okay, so i just noticed that it’s been.. a month since i’ve updated, so i apologize to the few people that are actually following our “schedule”.

Day Fourteen- July 4
- went to the NDP (national day parade) rehearsal with ah yi and uncle peter.
- half way there, while we were on the MRT, we realized that even tho we were wearing red and white, for singapore, it was july 4th, and we were also wearing blue jeans (me and ash both were)!! lol God bless America (even if it DID rain on the day that CCC was going to do fireworks (according to joran))
- si jay was the commander of the barges that held the… i forget how many, 25 lb-ders “guns”. they are actually ceremonial guns that look more like cannons, and the reason that they are called 25 lb-ders is because the shells that they shoot out weigh 25 lbs (it’d be really sad if the “gun” itself was 25 lbs…)
- like i said, si jay was the commander, so he gave us special permission to go on the barges and look at the guns! it was really cool!!
- we saw the flyer (the only ferriswheel in singapore) and it is, in a word, HUGE. it’s… idk, the size of the st.louis arch?? or bigger…
- fireworks at NDP were amazing!!!

Day Fifteen to Twenty Four- July 5-…14??
don’t remember, sorry! XP

Day Twenty-Five- July 15
- went to san ah gu’s place for singapore BBQ/grilled dinner. it was pretty good. Bell (our old dog) is a REALLY old lady now.
- went with yi(or yu?) xiang kor kor to pick up daddy from the airport @ 11 something…!!

Day Twenty-Six- July 16
- packing to get ready to go to Penang (or Pinang, if u want the Malay spelling…)

Day Twenty-Seven- July 17
- got on the plane (how many planes flights does this make??)
- got there, and it’s even HOTTER than singapore.
- then, to my horror of horrors: there is NO computer or internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- went through the painful illness of computer withdrawal.

Day Twenty-Eight- July 18
- went to Penang hill, saw the penang bridge
- we ALMOST saw monkeys there, but we weren’t allowed to go to where they were. (thanks God, I DESPISE those annoying, evil, nut-throwing, kid attacking…well, never mind. u get the picture. they scared me SO badly when i was a kid… *shudder* I REALLY don’t like Malaysian monkeys!!)

Day Twenty-Nine to Thirty One- July 19-21
- i forget what all we did, but we got a bunch of stuff!!!

Day Thirty-Two- July 22
- returned to Singapore. oh, and did i mention that singapore is SO MUCH CLEANER??!!! and better yet, I got to use the computer again!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! we got back in singapore at about 10, went to eat lunch at da ah gu’s restaurant at about…12, and then we killed time till 5.
- then i went over to da ah yi’s house, and used the comp from 5-…7:30. managed to type up more of my story and send it to my co-author (joran) FINALLY!!!

Day Thirty-Three- July 23
- got a haircut (which according to my mother, makes me look 18 instead of my previous hairstyle that made me look 22??)

P.s. it’s still hot!! but penang was even HOTTER!!!

Hello peoples!!
I’m sure most of you already know, but my mom, Ash, and I are now in Singapore!!
It is so…so…HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, all the food over here is very good, so it kind of makes up for it.
Here’s a rundown of what we have been doing for the past three days.-

Day One- June 21
- got on the plane from St. Louis to go to Chicago.
- had sandwiches and a Starbucks frappicino for breakfast
- got to Chicago (the plane was very cramped)
- went to get onto the plane to go to Tokyo Narita
- had a very long tedious flight. I was getting sick…planesick? airsick?? i don’t know which word it is. Oh well.
- sadly, the best meal that we had on that 13 hr flight was Cup o’noodles. isn’t it sad?

Day Two- June 22
- got to Narita
- had Japanese hotchpotch. it was pretty good. Just for you people that have no idea what that is, it’s basically a bowl of very yummy soup (clear asian soup, obviously) with a bunch of different squishy Japanese foods.
- ran into a friend from Singapore who happened to be transitting through the same airport at the same time
- got onto the plane to go to Singapore. there was some kind of problem with the plane or weather or something, but it resulted in a ONE HOUR delay!!!!!!!!!
- we arrived in Singapore at 12:30 at night on June 22. or half an hour into the morning of June 23, whatever you want to call it. it’s basically the same thing.
- ah yi, uncle peter, da ah yi, si lea, and san san came to pick us up.

Day Three- June 23
- apparently, our grandparents had no idea that we had gotten to the house, and they were busy calling the relatives that had gone to pick us up to see if we had arrived in Singapore safely.
- we had a visit from a few relatives.
- had pandan marble cake and crackers with milk for breakfast
- had super yummy yellow noodles with spinach and fresh fishball for lunch
- don’t remember what we had for dinner… it was probably rice.

Day Four- June 24
- woke up at 5 in the morning for no other reason than the fact that ash was making way too much noise outside.
- went to the market with Ah gong and mom and ash for breakfast. Had roti paratha with curry for breakfast, with a chilled milo. IT WAS SO SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! the curry actually wasn’t that spicy, so i really liked it. (joran, you’d like it a lot if u tried it)
- rest of the day was boring
- si ah gu took us to a fruit market and we bought- durian (yuck!), lychee, jackfruit, mangostene, guava, custard apple, jumbu (don’t know how to spell), etc.
- then si ah gu’s family came over at 10 with si lea and stayed till 12. zhen wei and si lea are so much taller than before!!!!!! and zhen wei is half a cm taller than me!! so not fair. i don’t even want to know how tall si ian and zhen yu are…

Day Five- June 25
- woke up at 9
- went over to San san’s house at 11
- had porridge and prawns for lunch
- and am now updating this blog. it is 1:54 over here. I’ll add more later!!

miss you all very much!!
