Mama says Must Blog

Mama has been complaining that I haven't been blogging even though I am already sending her daily updates of my life so here are some photos that you guys may be interested in haha.

For those who are totally not in touch with what I am doing I went to Vermont on a ski break with LanXiu and Huahua over spring break and we spent five marvelous days in a ski lodge called SugarLodge.


I know I look damn fat but I have to insist it's because we were wearing layers and layers of clothes under our waterproof things. But of course you don't really need to wear so many layers.


None of us knew how to ski, as is obvious from this photo of Lanxiu and I fighting with the ski poles.


HuaHua the hilly billy HAHA who I know looks ridiculous here but he is the only one who was in actual ski attire.


There was a hot tub outside our room because we got the Queen Suite that has a kitchen and 2 beds so Lanxiu and I went to soak in the hot tub everyday. Apparently it's a fixture in every ski lodge because everyone is so exhausted from skiing they need somewhere to unwind every night. We saw shooting stars too on the first night!! Marvelous experience.



And heres the view from our room. The brown thing's the hot tub.

The must-see of Vermont - the Ben and Jerry's factory! Ben and Jerry's my favorite ice cream, and they started out from Vermont. We only had to pay $3 for the factory tour which included free tasting of one of their new flavors at the end of the trip. Somehow Huahua looks very weird here I think it's cos he closed his eyes or simply because his eyes are too small HAHA he got scolded by Lanxiu for spoiling the photo HAHA!



Lanxiu was the mother of the trip cos she cooked every meal literally! We had wonderful meals, like salmon, chicken rice, claypot rice, mushrooms stuffed with ham and cheese, potato salad, mapo tofu, brownies, cookies etc etc etc so of course Huahua and I were delighted with the food! But of course we didn't slack completely too la we did the dishes hee.


See the number of bags we brought to Vermont HAHA we stuffed all the food into lanxiu's bag but because neither of us could carrry it poor Huahua had to carry it. Luckily he's obliging enough to drag it around or we would probably have missed all our trains and buses.

Sammi in Mohegan Sun 23.3

Other than our wonderful trip to Vermont I also, of course, went for Sammi's concert in Connecticut on 23rd March and MY WAS IT WONDERFUL!!!!

The trip in total took 3 hours to and fro and I spent about 8 hours waiting in total because of the odd scheduling, and seriously I would not do it again for anyone else other than Sammi. Especially since because of casino restrictions the concert had to end at 4pm sharp so the concert was only 2 hours long!!!

But Sammi was in an extremely good mood and really did her best to entertain the 7000 strong crowd even though I think only 20 of us were hard core fans. Best of all, because I got front row tickets I managed to shake her hand and KISS HER ON THE CHEEK something I've repeated about n times because I'm still so excited about that HAHA!

I've uploaded all the photos to facebook, but I know mom doesn't use facebook so here're some for you to see. Sorry I don't know how to turn them around here so you have to tilt your head to look at it HAHA!


Sammi doing her opening number. So pretty!!!! I love that black shiny thing she's wearing.


Sammi talking about her relationship with her parents and how she felt when her dad got a stroke a couple of years back, and how she lived the past 2 years after filming Everlasting Regret.


Sammi doing one of her medleys in an oversized tee and hotpants.

But aiya Spring break is over so it's back to work for everyone. Oh well!!
