alot of food and life in general

I had a lot of good food this week :) and I'm feeling very loved hahaha

On Friday after training, I went to USS with mummy and sissy, then we met daddy to have buffet dinner at Hard Rock Hotel heh heh xD

The food was really really good, it was more oriental style than western, but there was lamb shank which was really delicious! And there are people serving you ice cream and fresh fruits (including coconuts and pineapples) and being the weird Lim family we are, mummy got a pomegranate and we brought it home! It's still sitting in the fridge, like a very cute decoration among the apples/pears/oranges/lemons. 

For the entire night, my sis and I were talking about how my mum broke her promise to one of the waiters at an Italian restaurant we considered dinnering at. Initially, we were going to eat there and mummy told the waiter "we will be back", but after looking at the buffet selection at Hard Rock, we changed our minds hahahah :P I'm really glad we got more bonding time together as a family, we haven't had a sit down meal in ages because of my trainings. Thank you to mummy who took time out from her work, to daddy for always sending me to school and fetching me from macritchie, and to my only sister for making my day :))

((I was going to upload photos by stealing pics from my sister's dayre but cannot copy and paste))

Saturday breakfast was the usual before-piano breakfasts hahaha. Noodles and chocolate milk and an apple (it's an excellent combination!!)

Then mum sis and I joined my aunt uncle and the two tyrants for lunch! Bak kut teh at Jalan Kayu was very very good ;-) we bought durian cake for my auntie's birthday too (someone's turning 42 hurhurhur) I feel like a very bad niece now for revealing my aunt's age ;P Dinner was popo's excellent pork chops/fish/potato soup/braised mushrooms/brocolli.

My sis baked red velvet cupcakes for the family and I ate one third of them whoops XD and gong gong made his masterpiece glutinous rice which I'm going to have for breakfast tomorrow :D

It kind of became a routine to play mahjong every saturday at popo's house :D but I'm a very bad player but the mahjong expert popo helped me win xD we don't play with money or chips, it's meant for family bonding through gambling :P

This afternoon I had lunch with my parents and sis again! Sunday meals are usually very good :))))) I had aglio olio which was served in a very big portion I was still hungry after that XP my sis and I bought cookies and ice lollies and finished them during the five minute walk home ;-) while I chionged my holiday homework, I ate potato sticks and three packets of my childhood sugar biscuits (MEGAN QUEK YOU WILL GET SOME FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY) and after that I was still hungry but I patiently waited for dinner (good kid here)

Daddy bought dinner for us, and he entered the house at exactly 5:59PM (I was waiting for the food) and three minutes later I was eating everything :D there was sambal 番薯叶, some pork thingy which was very nice, and egg ;)) quite a simple meal but all of my favourites ;)))

I think I sound like a pig now. After dinner I ate a pear, milo ice cream, more red velvet cupcakes, more potato sticks and an oreo donut. I'm quite full now.

My sis is baking a cake tomorrow looks like I have more to eat after training hurhurhur 

I always complain that our fridge doesn't have much to eat but I think I'm just too demanding xP 

OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE FOOD

Last thursday, the canoeists had an ICE BATH!!!

Ying and I were the first pair of girls to go in, and even though I tested the water by dipping my fingers in a few times, it was nothing compared to submerging your entire body in it.

Thank you for letting me squeeze the life out of your hands Ying :)))))

We had 3 cycles of 1min, switching with bao-les pair. Our reactions to the icy water were worlds apart hahaha. Some unglam photos please don't laugh (my face is more of constipated than in pain oops)

HOW CAN THEY BE SO GAY AND CHEERFUL AND PHOTOGENIC IN A TUB OF ICE!!!

The moment I entered the water I froze. We were supposed to stretch out our legs but we just kept it crossed because both of us were in shock. I think I started hyperventilating the moment I went in, I couldn't stop even though everyone was asking me to calm down and relax. And the moment one minute was up I jumped out of the tub. I couldn't feel my body because it was so cold but I could still walk. Then I ran to where Philbert and Syaz were to splash warm water over myself (it was actually tap water but it felt really warm and comforting) then I ran up and down the track shrieking a bit before returning for the second round.

It was just as cold, and my breathing went out of control again, I think it got worse this time, like the second cycle felt longer than the first. But thank you to all those who were stroking my hair/back (this sounds wrong) and telling me that its okay ;))) and special mention to my bao for telling me a story during my 3rd cycle to distract me from the cold :D it was told during the last thirty seconds about me being a princess and getting married to Cody Simpson with four kids and having Ying as my bridesmaid XD it was hilarious and really helped with the cold!!

I would love to try the ice bath again and even though I might have a panic attack or something, it's really an experience everyone should have!! :D

Update on training: 

I think we're finally starting to peak. My K2 sets with bao on friday were really good ;)) and I hope this goes on in the K4 and we can really push past our limits during nats! 

;o) #shunles #bignoseday

Happy birthday to auntie lua/my flamingo/ms ng heh heh xD

Shoutout to my boyboy ;))) -time to triple date with bao and les-
