10 reasons why Cheryl has to watch what she's eating.

1. She can barely fit into her shorts. They look like underwear now.
2. Her arms jiggle.
3. Thin double chin appearing in pictures.
4. Napfa
5. Height and weight taking.
6. Rapture and other performances.
7. She can't wear loose fit shirts without them looking tight.
8.
9.

I can't think of any now. Haha. But seriously, CNY has seen me without much self control. Opps. So cheryl ate a bit too many pieces of bahkwa and chocolates. Heh. This is what happens when everything is displayed so nicely on coffee tables and the aunties all go," Take! Take lah! Got a lot, neh mind one! "

The first month in the year 2008 was one with less than 5 packs of M&Ms in school. Far cry from the average of 35 per month for the last few months leading to promos last year.

It's always skinner at the beginning of the year, fatter at the end. I blame exams. Ah what a vicious cycle. I bet when I graduate from school, my weight won't fluctuate so much.

Whatever it is, it's only feb. Not yet july. So no excuses huh. Haha.

Visitations are fun cos you get to see how much people have changed.

Like oh that uncle lost some teeth or oh that nephew's all grown up and skinny. And oh that cousin looks like me.

Every year the conversational topics never changes. " How the ministry of education works", "how children's grades are generated" and "how they are then posted".

Bonus points, IP, IB, choo train, Raffles, Tao Nan, PL, SA, AC, VJ blah blah blah.

Only occasionally people stray from the subjects and talk about who is married and has how many kids, why that certain member of the family got a divorce and whether or not the singles have boyfriends or girlfriends already. Then the conversation is steered back to school.

Eg.

Cheryl got boyfriend already or not?!

No lah I don't have.

Really ah, eh don't bluff me lah. Your school I heard have so many cute boys wan, surely a lot of people queuing up for you right!

No lah haha. No time.

YEAH LOR, nowadays ah the kids have this this this and that that and all the CCA things ah... Your school got the what blah blah blah one or not ah... What's the cut off point for blah blah school now ah? Then I heard that blah blah school going to have this that this that right.

Er. Yeah.

Er. Yeah.

Er. Yeah.

OK! Who wants to play blackjack!

Now I'm learning the art of being a banker. I learn from greg my pro sec 2 master. Seriously, this kid has some gene in him that makes him a gambler at heart. He knows when to look at people's cards and he picks the correct moment to turn over someone's cards. Then he'll take another card and his luck seldom allows him to get more than 21 points.

Teach him mahjong? 10 minutes and he can whip you unside down. EH I LEARNT MAHJONG.HAHA. Yay now I know how to play. Woots. I thank my masters Mark and Ben. Haha. Who tried all night yesterday to get 13yao. Always close, but never close or fast enough.

Mark Ben Bryan Greg and I talked about stuff when there wasn't much to do. We talked all about drinking clubbing, bouncers and how greg will literally be bounced out. Haha. Fun. Fun. I want to go for a mambo night despite all the stories I've heard of how people do retarded actions and stuff. Mark will bring me during the march holidays. Yay. Its supposed to be the safest night in the week. Wednesdays. Haha.

3rd day of the CNY, met Wynnie at tm, bought some stuff and then went to the twin's house. Sneaky sneaky, I borrowed 2 oranges to bainian heh.

Katrina is so so pretty! I think she's the prettiest toddler I've ever met in my life. I'm so glad I took so many pictures with her. =) When she grows up, I'll make her autograph the pictures, that lil covergirl. Yay. Haha.

Bobs is as fat as before. Lazier. And fat. His tail wag still can kill though. Haha.
