21 NOVEMBER'08

happy birthday to me, yay! haha

alright, initially today i didn feel like going out already.

cause don't know why super lethargic then "also not celebrating today"

but in the end i did drag myself up and prepared to meet jill.

but as we met quite late due to some stuffs we shopped alittle, snacked at waffle factory, i did manicure and finally trained down to cityhall to meet my family

while jill went to town to meet "shiyang".

for dinner, we went to paris international buffet at marina square.

and it freaking cost $281 for 6 people la!

i guess there goes my birthday present or angbao from daddy):

haha!

i think the food there is average only, nothing really nice or special.

so it's like not exactly worth the steep price

after dinner, jill sms-ed me saying that "all of them are not free for movie"

which made me super disappointed.

after we left the place i accidentally saw my sis calling jill.

so i thought there might be some surprise or something lined up for me.

my lil sister actually asked me :

'erjie, so you know the surprise arhs?'

then i was like: 'huh, what surprise?'

then she said: 'orh, no la!' then faster walked away.

haha! but i decided not to probe so much, don't wanna spoil stuffs mahs.

so i did meet jill and walked around looking for the dumb cinema.

and till now, we still can't find it!! haha

so we spent quite a long time walking around and looking for stuffs "to buy for shiyang cos he gave her a sunflower for being late"

JILL, i just realised you're really a quite talented liar can? lol

meanwhile i was looking around anticipating for my surprise.

like where will they pop out? who will appear?

but anyway, we continued to walk and walk and walk until my leg pain then we went into mac to rest awhile. cause initially i don't feel like going over to esplanade to find "sy"

but after jill sound so pek cek with "him" i decided to make life easier for her.

and by then i already gave up the hope of having the surprise.

and drag myself to esplanade, thinking that after we found sy then we'll go home straight.

so we were strolling around that big durian in search of sy.

there's alot of people sitting around there la, then when we walked past everybody is looking at us like as if we are animals in the zoo! haha!

finally, when we are nearing the place "sy described to us"

suddenly, somebody tapped me.

and when i turned around, it's XIAOYUAN!! with 3 stalks of daisy.

and i screamed la, super shocked and stunned for words.

so we just continued walking and suddenly somebody hugged me from behind.

sad to say, i screamed again!

this time when i turned around, it's my darlingRACHEL with a stalk of daisy.

then as i walked down, MERVIN came up with a stalk of daisy as well

followed by DERRICK sitting under a tree which i didn saw.

LOL

then jill was like, (pointing at him): 'doesn't that person look familiar?'

and derrick gave me a present.

and finally, they said joan was hidding in the car park and i have to look for her.

then i really did go around the whole carpark la!

but she's not there!

in the end jill covered my eyes and guided me to a place and when she opened my eyes.

i saw my beloved JOAN with another present(:

with a laptop and candles arranged with my name and a heart.

so super duper sweet la!

by then tears already started welding up in my eyes.

and the powerpoint is uber awesome! really saw how much effort my dearest joan put in just for ME!! how sweet.

and to think i actually thought you are sooo mean and don't even remember my birthday

SORRY ):

but i have to say, joan, i think it'll be a waste if you don't go join mediacorp.

your acting skills really not fake de lehs!

haha! i'm totally bluffed by you can?

btw, don't worry, your birthday i'll remember to "forget" also de! lol

oh yah! no forgetting out 2 passer-bys, WEISHEN and DOM

lastly, i was force to stand at the railing there and make a thank you speech.

and of course not forgetting a MUST-HAVE camwhore session!!

so all in all, i really enjoyed myself today!!

thank you all for putting in the effort and coming down specially to celebrate my birthday.

i guess i've said mostly i wanna say through the sms already.

i really mean every word i said there.

this really IS the BEST birthday i ever had.

THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE(:

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

ps: thanks sisters for remembering the stuffs i like and got it for me!

i really love the dress and canele's sweet stuffs!

picnic at my house SOON(:

wednesday i went to meet my primary school friends like finally!

haha, it was fun meeting them ONCE in awhile.

meeting them too often will make me crazy la

we really laughed like mad at pizza hut

but it's all inside jokes so nothing to share, haha!

but anyway love you guys and sorry to keep you waiting for so long.

(saying it sincerely, lol)

followed by the jokers of the day:

FINALLY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME(: YAY!

Your fingertips against my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind in my chase

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick

I never wanna see you unhappy

I thought you want the same for me

Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartbreak

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

In the shade

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you'd never ever forget these images

No

I’d never wanna see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartbreak

Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot try the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gonna and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

I'll make it there easy

You walk right in and out of my life

Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

counting down to 2 days

but for the first time i'm not very excited about it.

in fact, i'm not looking forward to it at all.

why did things turn out to be this way

makes me feel so insignificant so not important so tired about it.

seems like whatever i've done doesn't mean anything to...

or i've not done enough

lately i've learned how to take things by my stride.

or i can't imagine how i would get pass these few days

sometimes it makes me wonder, what exactly are our relationships.

are our names just for fun?

are we just together for the sake of being together?

do we really see each other as what we should be?

how long more will we remember each other?

i'm kinda disappointed but also some sort awoken this past few days

been thinking alot.

today i went out with jill dearie to town for some shopping!

the christmas exciteness has already filled the air in town

the decorations are awesome!

it's so pretty that made an uncle stop to take a photo in the middle of the road.

can you imagine that? but of course it's green man la

haha

but anyway, it's been ages since i last went to town for no specific reason but just to shop.

and i really enjoyed it, thanks dear!

oh yah! and this time we didn go home empty handed.

i bought a belt, 2 wrislet and ankle boots.

after that we went to taka for dinner at seoul garden.

the ginseng soup with spinich noodles are simple a rightful match! lol

the taste is simple heavenly(don't know if i'm abit too exaggerating, hahaha!)

so this time we didn even finish one plate of meat.

i think our stomach are filled with the noodle and soup ba!

the healthiest meal i ever had at seoul garden. cool

so overall i spent quite alot today but at least i really had a great time(:

let the photos talk:

yummy jelly drink, so old school feel(:

this spells, beary merry christmas!

i wanna go to this super pretty dessert shop at town!!
