Mothers' Day Hi-Tea @ Pan Pacific Hotel on 13 May 06, Sat Woke up quite early in the morning..after washing up, i started wrapping the door gifts for the participants for the Mothers' Day Hi-Tea at Pan Pacific Hotel. Mum saw me taking my own sweet time..so couldn't stand me and offer to help me..haha..I was telling her..do u noe that u r doing something for other mummies who will be celebrating their Mothers' day..hee..initially I have reserved a place for her..but coz the respond was realli too overwhelming..so no choice..haf to give out my seats to other members. Luckily got Mum's help if not realli wun be in time..haiz...my mum understands me too well..haha.. After getting ready I set off together with my brother. He was meeting his project mate at AMK. So I gave him a ride. Before we manage to get a cab, it started to raining veri heavily. hmm..both of us were lazi..so we only brought along 1 umbrella..i was half wet when we managed to hop on to the cab. On the cab, we were still arguing who should take the umbrella..haha..dropped him at Clementi and dump the unbrella to him..muhaha... Reached Pan Pacific Hotel at 1230 hrs..on the dot..(i'm not late..haha) some members already there..started eating. I find myself a bit weird standing there..so approached some of them and chat with them. i present the door gifts to them and of course took the chance to publicise my personal grooming workshop to them. Waited for almost an hour...Mdm Jennifer (Committee Chirperson) managed to rush down from NDP rehersal. She told me her mum wun be attending and invited me for the lunch. Initally, I insisted not having my lunch there..coz quite weird mah..but after much persuasion, i decided to join them...realli weird lor..coz not much things to say...think i still prefer the Hi-Tea I had at JB..although the buffet spread was not as good compared to Pan Pac. Overall, the event can be considered as a success..think most members had enjoyed themselves..and some even asked me to inform them if there any good deals like this in future. Met up with sis at Marina Square after the event. Shopped around, bought some clothes...we were quite tired and went for coffee. After which, we went to Minitoon..I saw a realli cute turtle..with detachable shell...after much pastering..sis finally bought for me..and tat ws my birthday gift this year..hee.. Both of us dropped dead when we reached home..hehe..

It was realli a long time since we last met..and first time we managed to get so mani gradz together..was realli happi to see them again..suddenly realised I haf known some of them for almost 6 years. Time realli flies...a few years ago, we were still students.. sharing the same interest, joined Choir and get to know each other. Itz realli great to see them again..the feeling was like back to the past again..getting everyone to meet up was realli not ez..and therefore, the more we treasure the time together. We had our dinner at Pastamania Cineleisure and had a coffee at TCC. Realli glad that most of them are doing fine..Hopefully we can haf more of such gatherings again...
