killing me softly with his songs

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!!
