Bedok visit 11.7.2009

Posted by: wEndily on: July 12, 2009

Feels like a long time since I last visited Bedok Uncle! Was glad to see he looks still as good as before~

Anyway, the fans of Bedok uncle– Cindy, Jiancheng, Weizhong, Xiuting and Wendy, marched off from Bedok interchange towards uncle’s house on a sunny Saturday morning.  James was absurdly late (dashu, must reflect on yourself le! =p) and refused to pick up our calls, so we decided to be hard-hearted let him fend for himself. Haha..kidding lah~ we where got so mean right? ;)

It was supposed to be painting day for the Bedok Group but since the colour we had wasn’t too suitable (too dark), it become our routine housekeeping-cum-talk-to-uncle-cum-watch-tv-day. Anyway, we asked uncle what colour he prefers, then he said white. We were thinking right, maybe can get white emulsion and mix with the green paint. How ’bout that? *comment on this pls*

So each of us proceeded to do our favourite housekeeping activities; me cleaning my favourite windows, cindy cleaning her favourite toilet, james cleaning his favourite windows, xiuting sweeping her favourite floor,  weizhong mopping his soon-to-be favourite floor and jc doing his favourite job of supervising. lol~ uncle was watching his favourite saturday morning show about this boy and a fat ‘xiaoyanzi’, which we joined after finishing our housekeeping jobs. After that show we proceeded to watch the lawyer show from ch8. Xiuting say uncle looked like he’s tearing when watching the show, maybe he finds it sad or reminds him of something or he’s just simply tired? Haha…we don’t know.  Later a few of us think the floor swept and mopped by xt and wz need to be QC-ed, thus we decided to self-sacrifice and lie on the floor to test it out. Hmm..not bad…after lying on the floor, we decided that you passed the standard of cleanliness set by us. Yay! =D

Being earlier than usual (or uncle woke up later than usual), we caught uncle while he was having his breakfast-2 half-boiled eggs and a bowl of milk. Erm, I told him the milk powder is actually for 1-3years old infants, but he say it’s nutritious. Hmm…should be ok I guessed? Better than nothing. Anyway, it’s not cheap also but he say it taste good. Oh yah, uncle ask the centre not to send him the free lunch anymore, cos he say it doesnt taste good at all and always give him chicken, which he doesnt like. So, yah, now either he goes out for lunch or he cook for himself.

Anyway, before we left, we asked uncle whether he’s going out. He said probably not, maybe he watching movies at home, and proceed to open his cupboard and show us his collection. lol. He really got very old and very new shows. Maybe one day can arrange to have a movie-marathon with uncle~ =p

And hor, you know uncle’s house corner always got alot of cigarettes packets lying around, left by his roommate? It’s not there anymore. Wonder if they still live together actually. Or maybe his roommate decided to kick the habit? The mirror table is gone too. Hmm…

i actually think the white with green is good.. have to check out the price of the white first.. good stuff..

lol wendy the way u write is still abit sot as usual hor.. lie on the floor to test their standard?? cant visualize lol. ya i second the idea of mixing white w green to get creamy green! hm think white emulsion around $60 like that?

whaaaaa so ex… hmmmm i ask liao cos i noe got one stall is comparatively cheaper… abt slightly less than 30 bucks for white… wont be the best quality lah but can last 2 yrs ard there. what u think? the green hor… one bucket milky green and one bucket dark green i think we can throw the dark green back to CSC and the milky green jus add a little bit to the white to get apple green white tone paint… its white with a tinge of green hows that people?

whaha when did dashu start becoming a lateee as well… i got this feeling his room mate left le.. since he brought his table along with him… good post wendy fulllllll of emotions and description! oh yay

what happen to kongtat’s post on lavender?

u guys talking about light light green right? I second it, but have to see uncle like it anot lor, ‘cos ultimately he’s the one living there. ANything is better than the SMRT green on the wall lah. haha.

I am late cause I came back at 4am, sat morning… wa kaoz. Wasn’t that late either… ^^;

lol~ ok lah, i help dashu to explain. He was late because he worked until 4am on Saturday, then he come n join us after a meagre amount of sleep. So cannot blame him lah. =p

btw ppl, dashu already set up a fb group for HCA…so join ok!!
