HoHo. I am back! This entry is going to be quite long. Yes, it is going to be about my 20th birthday. Nothing big but rather memorable. =) You may be thinking that I am trying to brag about it. Well, if you know me well enough, every little thing is just for my own memory.
Here it goes:
24/01/09
I remember that I just reached home from my 2nd home, Queenstown Community Library and I started whining to my sis that I was feeling very hungry. To my disappointment, other than the Chinese New Year snacks, I could not find any proper food at home. = / Well, that is my home. I think I would die of hunger if there was a war. (By the way, last week, I dreamt that there was a war and the first person I thought of was my mum because she was alone at home. I was worried that my neighbours would not be thoughtful enough to ask her along.) As such, she thought of treating me to Fish & Co for my birthday celebration as I had not been there before. She thought that the Wheelock’s Place outlet was still there but it was a wasted trip so we had to drag our feet to the Glasshouse, the one located at Plaza Singapura. o.o
It was really nice over there. I loved the service there a lot especially the manager. They were such nice and friendly people. I loved the birthday song they sang to me because it was filled with gusto and energy. What’s more can I ask for?
Let me side-track a little. There was a girl of my age celebrating her birthday. That is not the point. Her boyfriend actually went up the stage and played guitar and sang a birthday song, no, two birthday songs for her. It was so awfully sweet! Well, I always think that one of the most romantic ways to propose to a girl is to propose to her at a beach, play a guitar and sing a love song. I know this is classic but don’t tell me that you, You, YOU, have not thought of it before. Okay. Perhaps, I am the only one. *shrug*
My mouse shoes! One of my purchases at Haji Lane. I got them at a much cheaper price. =D
Look at the necklace I wore in the picture. It is one of the gifts from sis. =)
Swordfish Collar. We shared this. Trust me that she was not being stingy. Even with me, a big eater, we had difficulty finishing this. If you ask me, the fish was not my cup of tea but the rest were okay.
Me with Pink Passion. It was quite nice and refreshing. =) We shared this too.
The plates of sauces we finished just by eating Swordfish Collar. Sis always says that it is a bad habit dipping my food into sauce because I am not appreciating the food. Can I beg to differ? I just want to enhance the taste of the food. =D
They made me stand while the crews sang a Fish & Co birthday song for me. I was so embarrased by it or rather being so shy. I always feel so shy when it seems like all the attention is on me. = / Oh. I smiled all the way because that was the best reaction I could give. = p
The crews. =)
The cheesecake or rather my birthday cake. I think it was quite nice because it was not too cheesy but just nice.
Sis asked me to take this photo. o.o I do not know why. = /
The card with a photo of us attached to it. Yes, that is the manager I am referring to. He is really nice. =)
That is all for this celebration. It was really, really a nice experience. It felt great to have people singing a birthday song for you. ^-^ Thanks sis!
The handmade bookmark (handmade by my sweet sis) and red nailpolish (I remember that it was one of the "wants" for my 2008 new year resolution but I got it for this birthday. =/) .
Next up.
This is one of the T-shirts given by Benjy. I love both of them. The white one is sweet while the turquoise one is unique. =D
Actually, he brought me to Billy Bombers (27/01/09) and Kenny Roger (30/01/09) on two separate nights for my birthday celebration. Sadly, we did not take any photos. Ha. Obviously, the food was great. I think there is a big big hole in his pocket now. Thanks la. Thank you thank you. LOL
31/01/09
This is from Afiq! The chocolate is quite nice. Actually, I was quite surprised that he bought something for me. Sweet Afiq~ =D
01/02/09
I spent my birthday doing the most hatred project, WSNA but with the right people, so it was not that bad. The moment I met up with Stel and saw the cake she held, I was already guessing that might be for me. Then, she said Andrew told her to buy something (the cake). So, I tried very hard to be nonchalant about the cake by not asking anything. Later on, they (Hui Si, Stel and even Andrew) were acting quite secretively when we left Andrew's house for a steamboat at Hui Si's house so the answer was even more obvious. I tried even harder to pretend not see nor hear anything. Okay. The main point is not about pretending not to see nor hear anything but it was the thought that counts. It was really, really very sweet of them to plan a surprise celebration for me. Well, I did try to be surprised. =) Anyway, it was really very nice working with you guys for this project. I really appreciate it too. Hope you guys enjoyed my company too. Ha ha.
My lovely birthday fruit cake. ^-^
Me with the cake. =D
Since, it is my 20th birthday, I decide that I want to come out with 20 facts of myself for my dearest readers to understand me better. Sometimes, I am really sick with the fact that many people find it difficult to understand me. =( After today, you should clear a few doubts of yours!
1. I do not enjoy saving at all. I do it for the sake of my future. Who does not want to enjoy life, eh? Well, planning is very important.
2. I day-dream most of the times during lessons. This is why I often ask teachers the same question which he/she might have just gone through. Actually, I day-dream most of the times when I stare into space. But, of course, I can be very serious if I need to. An article says that it is good to day-dream. Geniuses do this too. =D
3. I hate to do things at the last minute so I guess this is why I usually finish my tasks much earlier than many people. Erm. Yes. I am very reluctant to do things at the last minute unless I really have no choice.
4. I always have my own schedule in mind of what I should do. (If you realise, I do not have a hard copy of my schedule. On my hand phone, it only keeps records of the important dates.)
5. I am a fan of real spicy food.
6. I am usually a big eater.
7. I usually laugh at my secret jokes. This is why many people find me being silly for laughing at nothing. Ha ha
8. If I have a choice, I would want to be a hairstylist or even a performer (but I am too shy, la).
9. I am a perfectionist of myself because I cannot accept myself for making any mistake.
10. I love heart-felt handwritten cards because they are so sweet. (but it has been donkey years since I last received one.) Well, this is why I never fail to write or make a card for people for their birthday or any special reason. I hardly buy any.
11. I am a very soft-hearted person but it is not very easy to surprise me because sometimes I know/predict your plan earlier than you think or spoil it in my own hands. =/
12. When it comes to learning languages, I tend to be a very slow learner. So, my favourite subjects will be more hands-on. I still love mathematics, science and art & craft.
13. I am a right-handed person but I use my left hand to use hand phone.
14. I use my 6th sense to find my way. Well, there are times when my 6th sense is sleeping so I will lose my way! Actually, I lose my ways most of the times. Ha ha.
15. I am often on time and you are honoured to see me late, really. Nowadays, I usually use this smartly so as to not piss myself off. =D
16. My favourite phrases are, "Seriously, I think that", "I seriously think that", "I mean...", "What the hell", "Hell you", "What", "Very funny" and "Zhen de zhen de. Wo mei you pian ni!"(It means "Really, really! I never lie to you" ha. No one thinks that I lie in the first place. =/).
17. I am under-weight for most of my life, borderline under-weight for the rest and hardly hit the healthy range. Ha.
18. I prefer sweet food to spicy food.
19. I am scared of animals and creatures.
20. I tear when I get very angry. Well, when you see that, trust me, do not provoke me any further.
That's all folks!
Well, I still hope that I can celebrate my birthday with....... I have been waiting in vain. Will it ever happen?
Anyway, once again, thank you for all the people who celebrated with me! =D
