| 7:41 PM
girly night out!!!
night out with the girls.
many many girls.
haha.
dinner was with my uni friends, who also happen to be my poly friends.
ok i only have those few friends, can?
this is the first time since we came back from all over the world.
alot wiser and prettier, of course.
angel came back from australia with cute magnets for us!!!
and for her kindness, mayo got her chocolate-flavoured condomsfrom taiwan (play cheat!!!).
xxl box some more.
i think she is trying to say something.
scandalous.
:)
canteen b lovers.
we love school, especially ntu.
hahaha!
the impossibly cheap set meal turned out to be really quite nice, despite our earlier reservation about some hidden catch.
everytime i go out with these girls, i would come home to find weird photos on my camera.
吓死我了!
more normal people should look like this lor.
haha.
dont ask me what i was thinking.
apparently, i wasnt.
must be all the weird people around me.
they get to you sometime.
:)
love the girls.
without whom school would be no doubt, siansation all day.
haha.
went party world with huimin and susan then.
been forever since i last saw them.
but still as pretty and sweet.
:)
oh and good for me, i didnt cry last night.
you see, susan and i were just talking about how i first got drunk at her 21st, and for some bizarre reason, kept calling her mommy.
then i started crying, making yen ling cry too.
it was hilarious.
but i didnt cry last night.
steady boom beep beep.
that means i've reached a whole new level.
woohoo~
haha.
ok it was all good fun.
i should totally live like this forever.
cheers to youth.
end.

ohh yay
i went all the way to taiwan, spent so much youth and moolah on shopping, thinking that i was buying stuff a teeny weeny bit more exclusive, only to come back and find that every other shop is selling something from taiwan.
zzz.
anyway, i shouldn't even be looking at those shops. should totally be banned from them because i've promised myself that i've done enough shopping in taiwan to last me till at least end of the year.
but why are they selling such nice stuff when i dont wantto shop?
nehnehpok.
oh yes, ban me from salons too.
i'm so not going to cut my hair for the next 10 years.
boo.
ok enough whining.
time for a huge dosage of my dearestssss!!!
oh yes, we are meeting up again to celebrate my birthday of course!
which by now, is no longer birth-day but more like birth-week.
haha!
:) :) :)
had cold ramen for dinner at waraku, to reminisce a little of the weeks i had it everyday in taiwan.
the one from 7-11 is still the best.
maybe i will ask people who are going there to buy some back for me.
better than instant noodles can?
seeing how popular it is, i should have bought that as souvenir for everyone lor.
zzz.
my darlings who are soooooo sweet to plan me a birthday surprise, though i kinda guessed it from the moment i saw jesslin and meihui walk into the restaurant with so much purpose and without much difficulty, found me at my place.
haha!
but still, A* for effort.
waraku, the girls' favourite-of-all-time.
though of course desserts must always be at MOF.
the very thoughtful girls got me a macha cake because they knew i already had all the chocolate cakes i can take for probably the rest of the year.
see...reading my blog helps ok!
thanks to all my lovely friends, i can make like...at least 10 birthday wishes every year.
james stealing glances at may.
spoil my photo.
but of course i'm game for another one anytime.
by now, i have become an expert in cutting cakes into equal-size, relatively neat pieces.
we should totally replace birthday cakes with macha kurians next time.
my all-time favourite birthday present, yes even if you use very orhbiang ang pao packets.
haha!!!
heart you people many many!!!
you know when i look at the photos, i realise something very funny.
i've gone to the salon two days ago thinking of trimming my hair and more importantly, cutting my fringe because it's getting into my eyes.
and after all the trouble, my fringe seems to be the only thing that remains the same.
nehnehpok.
did i say i'm so not going to cut my hair in the next ten years? (though this is probably the 3847234th time i'm saying this.)
hmph!

my loved ones
every birthday must be celebrated...
with my family, of course.
even if your dog rather watches tv than takes a proper family photo with you.
luckily, i've got my surprise chocolate cake.
delivered at the very last minute.
by a secret guardian angel across the oceans.
now what else can a girl ask for on her birthday?:)
| 8:24 PM
pick the best apple
girls are like apples on a tree.
the ones at the bottom are easy to get but arent always the best.
climb all the way up to reach out for the one at the top.
it is going to take long and it will be difficult. but it will be the sweetest.
i promise. do that, wont you?
Monday, July 06, 2009 | 7:57 PM
still my birthday ok?
birthday photos.
still.
that is what happens when you are surrounded by lovely friends and family.
no you dont have to tell me how lucky i am.
i know.
:)
anyway, this is the first time we met up since i came back.
though it wasnt anything fanciful, everyone took time out for me, despite the rain and late night and last-minute venue changes.
so give face.
tell me how not to love them?!?!?!?
my darlings.
only boss got to escape from taking photos with me.
more dua pai than the birthday girl lor.
gross.
nobody told me that the theme for my 22nd birthday is CHOCOLATE.
this is my third chocolate cake.
hahaha!
i am queen.
yay!
the usual.
and finally...
with all my love.
you know for each of my birthday, i will make my wish for my parents to be healthy, my brothers to do well in school and for my friends to be happy.
but for this year, i thought there is something as important as that, if not more.
that is for me to always remember to be thankful for all my friends.
and that really, for us to be friends forever.
:) :) :)

buttered
22.
feels exactly like 21.
no fireworks, no butterfly feeling in the stomach, didnt grow any taller, doubt i became any cleverer and nearly spent it queuing up to enter a club, which would be pathetic.
but then again, i guess i should just count myself lucky that i didnt get new wrinkles for present.
:)
in any case, saturday night.
we got buttered.
no captions for photos.
clubbing is supposed to be carefree, messy, crazy and all that, so who cares about captions?
thanks zenoi, the photos are lovely.
except for the folder so thoughtfully named pictures you will hate.
haha.

the one who holds my heart
he talks to me
i laugh 'cos it's so damn funny
i can't even see
anyone when he's with me
he says he's so in love
he's finally got it right
i wonder if he knows
he's all i think about at night
he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
he's the song in the car i keep singing
don't know why i do
he walks by me
can he tell that
i can't breathe
and there he goes, so perfectly
the kind of flawless i wish i could be
i'll always hold him tight
give him all my love
look in those beautiful eyes
and know i'm lucky 'cos
he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
he's the song in the car i keep singing
don't know why I do

happy birthday to me

nemo's sentosa day
ooohhh saturday.
nemo's sentosa day.
been soooooooo long since i last went there.
woohoo~
yap. cool fun.
breakfast all the way from hong kong, thanks to mayo!
some things never change, like vincent's expression when i take photos with him.
yes i need a haircut badly.
while we had our breakfast, nemo was raising funds for his lunch by charging 50 cents for each time passerbys take photos with him or pat him on the head.
haha my star boy!
i was charged 30 cents only.
20 cents discount ok?!
weeeeeeeeee.
basil, nemo's good friend.
pirate with bad teeth, my good friend.
people, this is a golden retriever.
nemo is a labrador retriever.
nemo never sits still whenever he is in sentosa.
after spending the whole morning charged with adrenaline, it is no wonder he was dead knackered on our way home.
:)
vincent's new rather meaningless toy, with one finger missing.
haha.
i heart nemo's sentosa day.
| 12:14 PM
tick tock tick tock
my baby will be
sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for me
while the time goes tick tock tick tock
she's gotta leave again
she don't wanna go
she hates to be away from me so long
she calls me everyday but
she can't kiss her baby on the phone
when we're hanging up
the tears start rolling down
but somehow oh
even though she cries
she can find her smile
'cos she knows with me her heart is safe
funny how time away, makes a loving heart grow fond again

hold your breath
baby, our time is now.
| 4:07 PM
same old same old
my first friday in singapore.
for the girls.
i'm surprised that they were surprised by my early return.
double surprise.
haha.
just like the good old days.
:)

just a little update
if i need any reminder for why i want to come home so badly, it's these:
friends...
my beloved sister and his girly drink...
bff, of course...
brother...
and more importantly, to know that i've grown taller than him, yet again.
of course i love the alcohol too, though they cost so much more than what we have in taiwan, but then, some things cannot be bought by money.
like...10 years worth of friendship.
on a side note, i just got to know that poor courtesy lion has just lost his job as the marscot of the courtesy campaign.
and is now endorsing the anti-H1N1 one instead.
haha.
yes i know what a tough job it is to try teach singaporeans about courtesy.
i feel so appalled by the seas and mountains of people who are now filling every inch on the streets and taking up every little breathing space around me.
the noise and smell and colours are crushing, drowning, overwhelming.
i think i'm starting to feel claustrophobic.
how i have lived here for the past 19 years i have no idea.
i so want to migrate to i dont know, tibet or nepal or antarctica or somewhere.
