Boyfriend said:
"I meet you on Saturday and I'll take you to a special place ok! Wear something nice! I'll see you at 2.30 after my class! Wheee can't wait!"
I loooove surprises.
But I especially loooove the "wear something nice!" part. The very moment I hear that, I'll start being ambitious about my dressing. What to wear, what colour theme, what style, with what earrings, oooh then what shoes to wear!, handbag??... Then I'll envision myself in this and that. Best. It's like playing Makeover-Me in my head. Hahah.
So throughout the week, my mind was preoccupied with Saturday.
This is how I envisioned the day:
But of course, whatever I plan will end up ruined.
Stupid windows movie maker wouldn't publish my movie properly so because of that I was rushing around cursing like a mad woman, and because of that, I didn't have time to wear nice-nice make-up, and because of that I feel like I look fug fat and fugging fugly and I felt like crying and because of that I came down 45 minutes late to meet him with rambut maha messy, muka maha bingit, make-up setengah menjadi, and carrying plastic bags like makcik from Shengsiong because I dun have time to find a nice bag to organise all my stuffs.
He looked at me, smiled, and said: Wow! Cantik nya!
Oh so touching :')
Tip kahwin-kahwin #1: Find a man who believes you are beautiful, and make you believe you are, eventhough you know you can at times inspire a YoMomma Is So Ugly joke.
And then he had gallantly produced lovely gifts eventhough an impatient man would have just threwn them to my face with Nah, I dah belikan you ni tapi I rasa I nak amek balik ah pasal you ni selalu lambat, dah lah selekeh, rambut serabai, muka sememek....
Sunflower, my favourite. And a sweet necklace to remind me not to havoc so much and remain sweet and demure at all times. Hahaha.
And I produced my video, in Movie maker T___T, since it cannot load properly as a vid. But in any case, it's worth lugging the laptop down just to show him how much he means to me.
:)
So the day began at 3.30pm...
and we were super hungry. Somebody should start recommending me nice halal restaurants because as far as I know, there's only Swensens and... Pizza Hut? Anyway, Swensens @ ION was the choice because boyfriend did not want to travel too far since the "special place" we'd be going later would be somewhere North.
Ooolalalalala. That got me drilling him for clues for the next 30 minutes.
I was trying to take cadid shots of us. I like candid shots coz you'll never know what you'll get. And you can learn stuffs about yourself you dunno. Like when you eat, your eyes go one big one small ke.. or when you talk your nostril tend to flare ke... is it not cool to know these facts about yourself??
But boyfriend doesn't like candid shots because he said he look ugly when in candids, and he wanted to look handsome that day. I told him I know you're handsome already what so nevermind lah. But he said, it's for FB, not me.
-__-
Then onward to special place!
Prelude to special place:
"Is it near sembawang?"
"Mmm.. somewhere in between sembawang and yishun.."
"Can we look at the sky?"
"Yes. We'll see lots n lots of sky"
"Are we eating again?"
"No. I want to vomit already seh"
"Are there alot of people?"
"Hmmm.. it's quite a secluded place."
"Are we seating down or walking around?"
"Walk. We will walk alot."
"If we are going to walk round and round the Yishun reservoir, I'm going to break up with you."
And special place was...
The first thing I said was: Shit am I overdressed?
Hahaha.
But nehmind, was too excited to actually really care.
The first thing we saw when we entered was Dracula! I was very excited because coincidentally I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula and I'm in love with vampires. But sadly, this Dracula's too ahbeng for my taste even under all that makeup. He's got the vampire swagger all wrong and he does not have his hair oiled and slicked back. FAIL.
Then we saw the most scariest thing ever.
A bloody crazy crowd waiting to enter the park.
Strangely, we weren't too bothered. Just wanted to have fun and no annoying long queues can annoy us. You can actually buy your tickets online and collect it at a booth. Saves time and the queing hassle.
But if you're patient and enduring like me, you can just queue along :D
As we stood around, we saw other ghosts freaking people out.
I hate clowns. They don't have to be dead to look scary.
Hate clowns hate hate hate clowns. Yuck.
That Aladdin very dangerous. He walks around at fast speed and go BAH! BAH! at your ears. And the girl in red is even freakier because she walks so silently and suddenly appears next to you.
My boyfriend, the miang. He refused to take pics with other ghosts because he said they are kental. But the moment he saw this Cinderella, he immediately stood beside her for picture. -__-
I looked very happy in the pic because I just got shocked by the ugly hooded thing's WAAARRGHGHG!-ing in my ears.
We tried to be freaky too.
But epic fail. Too cute ah. Especially me. Hahahahahah.
Another stupid scary clown. He's very irritating because he walks at a fast pace so one moment he's there, another moment he's just somewhere else, lost in the crowd, then another moment, he'll come charging at you with his knife. Saw me taking pic of him and he bloody charged at me. I squealed because I hate clowns and a mat next to me said "Don't worry, the knife is plastic". In my heart I was saying "Who cares about the knife, you idiot".
We waited quite long to take The Train of Terror. It's additional $5 from the normal tram ride. But we came here to get scared, not to see animals. Hahahah. Queue was also damn long. But luckily we've Iphone to play Spot the Difference until we nearly went blind trying to spot the differences.
And also lucky for us, we had an amusing crowd. We had people dressing up for this.
Like this damn cute chinese vampire boy. You should have seen his kid brother. Even cuter but he's always blocked by someone so cannot take pic D':
Then we have these 3 witches waiting in line as well. And this sporty pakcik who had long rocker hair.. and he'd quietly put his hair over his face and go RAAAAAR! at people near him at random times. Hahaha.
Finally we got our tram ride. A few more ghosts haunted our trams, and we were off.
The Train of Terror is guided by different "ghosts". We've got Jason from Friday the 13th. I admired the guide for his very good and very well-maintained spooky voice. He could make goats sound like monsters who will chomp your fingers off.
No flash photography for the animals, but there's not much anyway. Just goats and deers mostly. Me and boyfriend was seated at the last seat of the 2nd carraige, near to the side. At first we were anticipating ghosts to jump out to scare us, but after a few animals, we were beginning to think we've spent an extra $5 for Jason's spooky voice.
But I was so glad we were wrong. After a tourage of the animals, we entered, NeverLand.
Th sound effects changed to rattling chains, crying babies, woman crying and other Misteri Jam 12 stuffs. And as we entered the gates, we were recieved with loud bangings from a weird executioner...
My pics don't do justice at all because it was really nice scary ambiance. Dark, most of the time, and only green, red and soft yellow glows here and there. And you see freaky stuffs like "dead bodies" everywhere, highlighted by those glowy lights.
Niiiice.
Of course there are things that would jump up at the sides of your carraige out of the dark.
That perempuan with the fan damn siakkk one. SCARY RIGHT. In the darkness, she really looked like a ghost.
But this angmoh ah, cannot see woman. Dead or not, still want to consider. TSK.
The most siaakkkk of all siakkkk ghosts, will be this pocong.
My boyfriend took this picture while screaming and falling back onto me.
Hahahaha. But I was also breaking his arm coz I was holding on to it so tight. Hahah.
The ride into Neverland is probably the highlight of the whole journey. When I hear the normal tram rides going along with the recorded voice of a tourguide, I sumpah pity the people on the tram. Can fall asleep, really. Wonder how Safari makes money on normal days.
After Train of Terror, we want more more more ghosts! Selagi tak kena semput, selagi tak kena heart attack, nak tengok hantu jugak! So we walked into the Giant Forest Trail to The Bridge of No Return.
You actually walk in one big circle to see roaming ghosts and ghost displays in the trees. Quite alot of stuffs that are kurangasam punya spooky.
Like suddenly you see a red figure in the trees on your left, some tall bloody being on your left... some freaky half-bodied figure that'll suddenly shake violently up front..
Some idiot ghost camouflaging in the trees and then scaring you when you're near... a doll falling above your head...
These things are so far not that kuranghasam.
You haven't met the roaming ghosts yet.
I sangat LIKES that chinese vampire. Don't you think he's damn cute?? The scarecrow and the man in the well both are epic failures. The scarecrow's head looks like Barney when he's drunk and horny, and the man in the well looks like my fat brother who's fat buttock got stuck in the well.
Then as we're walking walking walking, we met the siaaakkkk pocong from the train, behaving in a more kurangasam manner than ever.
He was hiding behind a tree and you really cannot see him until you're exactly beside him. And he was just swaying his body front and back. Bloody bugger punyalah seram. Pakcik rocker in front of me was impressed and was persuading the poch to make pochong sounds to make himself even scarier. Hahaha.
But there's this one ghost that we crowned the Most Siak Ghost of All Time.
And that is this fellow below
You just imagine seeing a tall, bluish and pale figure with a dangling tongue walking towards you. You cry, shit, pee and die all at the same time.
When that trip round the haunted bend is over, we moved on to other ghost-free trails to give some love to the attention-deprived animals. Hahaha.
I was actually veyr scared to take pictures of the animals even when flash photogrpahy was allowed. Ok common sense.. Imagine you're happily eating grass in your lovely moonlit space when some noisy bugger snap a bright flash in your eyes. Would you like it? Would you not want to use whatever you have, be it claws or hooves, to make sure the idiot cannot take photos for the rest of his life? Hah.
But I was not afraid to capture this CUTE NAK MAMPOS creature called the Fishing Cat. Nama je dah cute. I so want to kidnap this cuddly baby.
And you can press on the buttons if you want to hear fishing cat speak English, Chinese, Bahasa Melayu or Indian. Dammit that my boyfriend is not a bimbo, kalau tak dah kena dah. Hahaha.
As we were going out, I managed to stop my worst nightmare and muster all my courage to stand next to it. Once that stage pass, wah confidence and courage level up until can mock the clown's pose all. Hahaha.
And last but not least, I managed to catch a random botched-nose pinocchio and asked him to stay! stay! in that pose for 5 minutes because my camera just won't snap. Hahahah.

Thank you Love for looking spankin' good, for the flower, for the present, for the lunch, for the laughters and for the very wonderful time.
Happy 4 years, ayang

"I meet you on Saturday and I'll take you to a special place ok! Wear something nice! I'll see you at 2.30 after my class! Wheee can't wait!"
I loooove surprises.

It's like playing Makeover-Me in my head. Hahah.
So throughout the week, my mind was preoccupied with Saturday.
This is how I envisioned the day:
1) I WILL BE PUNCTUAL!!!!!
2) Make a grand entrance.. like the-ugly-chick-who-turned-out-to-be-the-most-beautiful-belle-in-the-ball kind of entrance, with sudden spotlight on me and then suddenly everything go slow-mo and camera focus on boyfriend's stunned-by-my-beauty face and then camera focus back on me and I look like I dunno I'm beautiful as I make my way... ahhh. like that ah.
3) Surprise him with the video I made for him
4) Let him swoop me away in his Honda Jazz and take me toour castle in Pariswherever he wants to and we live happily ever after the end
But of course, whatever I plan will end up ruined.
Stupid windows movie maker wouldn't publish my movie properly so because of that I was rushing around cursing like a mad woman, and because of that, I didn't have time to wear nice-nice make-up, and because of that I feel like I look fug fat and fugging fugly and I felt like crying and because of that I came down 45 minutes late to meet him with rambut maha messy, muka maha bingit, make-up setengah menjadi, and carrying plastic bags like makcik from Shengsiong because I dun have time to find a nice bag to organise all my stuffs.
He looked at me, smiled, and said: Wow! Cantik nya!
Oh so touching :')

And then he had gallantly produced lovely gifts eventhough an impatient man would have just threwn them to my face with Nah, I dah belikan you ni tapi I rasa I nak amek balik ah pasal you ni selalu lambat, dah lah selekeh, rambut serabai, muka sememek....
Sunflower, my favourite. And a sweet necklace to remind me not to havoc so much and remain sweet and demure at all times. Hahaha.
