Today's BBQ was making up for the one canceled yesterday. And truthfully, it was a lot of fun - especially seeing my cousins again. They've grown so much since the last time I saw them. However, they still kept their cuteness. I think that a little kid's childish nature is the cutest when they are able to express that naturally. Most of us might practice in front of the mirrors, smiling in the cutest possible way. But little kids have the tiniest worries in their little minds, that's what makes their laughs and smiles so unique and natural - and beautiful.




(TOP is kael, BOTTOM is Colin)
Aren't they the cutest kids?! Seriously, Kael looks like a Taeyang, no joke. lOL.


They never ceased to make me smile with their silly words and actions. The playful side of them reminds me of me when I was young. Their innocence always gives me a sense of happiness and warmth.


And Nicky tries to act cool all the time. But we can't blame him for being so cute and handsome. Haha!


Who can resist getting into the pool on such a hot day?! Look at all them sexy boys!
They are all so adorable!

If I were to contribute my love for them, it would make the entry insanely longer than it already is. Anyhow, we had BBQ chicken, sausage, beef, and corn. At night, we played Wii while munching on a drumstick ice cream bar, coke, water, and pineapples. (Really, I'm a total freak when it comes to food. Haha!)


And a little love for my nature animals? Hahaa! They were in my cousin's fish tank hehe.



(NOW DRUM ROLL PLEASE..)

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY, LILA-CHAN! Another year passed and you're growing more mature and beautiful everyday. I hope that you treasure all your blessings and wishes. Like others say, count your blessings, not your candles. The feeling of growing up is overwhelming, and life will encounter even more responsibilities that come into hand when time is right. We can no longer depend on others to hold our hands in case we fall, nor lead us across the street. It's time to lay aside our childish side - but it won't hurt to keep childish memories with us. Once again, have a great birthday! (Haha, bowling was fun!)


Need I say more? Haha! It's true, bowling is a lot more fun when we suck at it haha. I regret not using flash and therefore, failed as a photographer-wanna-be. But regret does not pity, and so, I just need to learn and improve. Yay!

Let's take a look at the scoreboard.

lOL epic fail for poptyrant! Peepod wins - aka the birthday girl - aka LILA! I'm proud!


Now we all know arcade is not for little kids. lOL then why do I see a bunch of kids running around with guns (AKA MY SISTER WHO WAS POINTING A GUN AT ME), and even worse, hit-and-run with cars?! Haha what a shame, especially to those with driver licenses already haha! JAYKAYS! I love you all crazy “deen” girls. Therefore, here are more mischief.

Remember, violence is not the answer!! Play safe, guys haha!

Due to large picture files and long blog entry, everything is lagging, so I end with a few more pictures.

One self portrait with Sharon and we end the day nicely and smoothly.

First of all, before anything..


HAPPY JULY 4th! Hurray for Independence Day!
Sorry for the crappy animation/drawing & lacking border lines. I haven't touched Photoshop for the longest time, so bear with me.

It's a surprise that it would rain on July 4th. I heard fireworks, but it was a disappointment not seeing them in person. Many people went to the taste, and I saw pictures of the lovely fireworks. (eez jealous!) I remember one year, they had smiley fireworks. I was very much amused by the flickering color lights and sparks as they fade away into the night sky - perhaps into another universe hehe.

For lunch, my mom made bread with sausage & cheese on top! She's such a wonderful cook!


She also made us cantaloupe smoothie drinks. YUMMM~

Unfortunately, because of the rain, our BBQ got moved to tomorrow. So much for preparing for today haha.

Sharon and I have been bumming around at home like usual. My parents went grocery shopping for the BBQ tomorrow. Sharon - obsessed with Big Bang songs - and I - went crazy drawing & browsing online Chinese blogs. (They have the cutest comics & life stories! (EEZ SUCH A FAN AT THE MOMENT!)

After my parents' shopping, they came home and gave me google eyes. I found them amusing - but everything amuses me.. well almost.

It's funny how they just randomly bought google eyes for me. As if I need them.. lOL
Maybe to stick them on during class, just in case i fall asleep. If so, I'm going to run through bags and bags of them.



Happy Independence Day! I end shortly because of a schedule change. I'll post more pictures tomorrow!
