so now blogger has this future posting thing. where i can write a post now and then have it posted at the date and time i want it to be! cool? i think so! haha.

anyway, back-track a little. thanks alot to my frens who took time and effort to meet me and celebrate my bday! yam wenn, shu hui, khalis, conray, zhen guang, nigel teh, my ex-colleagues (zhiwen, jia wen, alvin and yi chen)! thanks to those who sent me their well-wishes esp to josiah, alison (for the ever-inspiring bday msg), kah hwee, evelyn...and many others. also got a few surprises frm ppl that i tot i've detached till they've forgotten my bday. haha. i feel very glad that i'm still remembered, or at least their HPs or reminders rmb me. haha.

the night before, i went out with sh and yw to eat at Marche! =) we only ate the food ppl recommended so the dinner wasn't too bad after all. thanks for taking time out to meet me, gals! love you all! =))

i still rmb the night before i turn 19, i was so filled with gratefulness towatds my parents! somehow, i feel a sense of thankfulness that they've cared and provided for me all these while. and i jus kept thanking God for them too. that night, i just laid in bed thinking of how to thank my parents the nxt morning. and he became my inspiration through his late-night sms. it gave me an idea and tat's precisely what i mentioned to my parents! jus a pity tat my dad's ever insistent on me not giving him a kiss. haha. well, i'm jus glad i din miss the chance!

that day, met khalis at CCK. had ya kun for breakfast. and catch up. it's great seeing and talking to him again! take care and hope to catch a movie with you soon! and i ate so much that i was pretty much full when i met the NS-pri sch guys for lunch. so we headed to the jap pasta restaurant and i ate....SALAD!! wad a let down!

go there suppose to try the pasta in jap style but ended up eating salad cos i was simply too full and din wanna bloat myself. zg slimmed down ALOT! was totally shocked! and i'm sad to see him like that..aiyo..i hope he's going good and okay! well, guys NS talks became the center of the conversations. bleah. but at least we also talked abt uni! and zg got shortlisted for medicine and law! Congrats!! =)) anyway, happy birthday zhen guang!

oh. at cine, cos we sit near the escalator, and it being a public holiday, i saw many of my frens! both frm sec sch and JC. like weiyan! (where she has kept her hair longer already) and Seng Loong, janson, ashiq, eugene, wei yu..and the other SJI guys. haha. was actually planning to go up to them and make them wish me a happy bday. haha. oh well. din get a chance too :P

after that, headed to Borders. been years since i've last went there. after spending abt 15mins there, i headed down to Raffles Place. and i'm glad it wasn't very awkward with my ex-colleagues. had great fun too! walked to Pitstop that was quite hard to find. and the hot weather din help much either. reached there, was greeted, got a seat and then, know wad? there was a stupid noisy bunch of gals beside us screaming and shouting so loudly!!

was super irritated and piss off by them! on top of that, i felt especially bad towards my frens cos i know that guys can't really take high-pitch screams of gals. sigh. the staff did reminded them to lower down their volume but they din really take heed. man. thinking back, i should have complained to the staff and made them do something abt it. or perhaps suggest that they sit outside! din noe there was an outside. and i almost wanted to suggest to them to sound-proof their walls! yeah man! the place is so small, every laughter can be echoed arnd the room! they ought to sound-proof it!!! okay..i wonder if i'll ever return there or at least, well, i'll think twice abt suggesting going there nxt time. sigh. so disappointed at this which i'd been looking fwd to...

well, headed down to Fish and Co glass house with him. ate dinner there. took a few shots too. was super bloated frm dinner. but hey, the fish was so interesting lah! got cheese inside wan. cool! and the "cup" of water was super big!! but the thing i dun really like is the live band. yes. it's suppose to be good..something tat differentiates this branch frm the others but hey, i do have difficulty talking to my fren! hello! in the end, i had to change places and sit nearer to him so i wun nid to speak across the table. i DEFINITELY dun want to have a quiet dinner which wld seem like i'm dining alone!

haha. and look at this! *esp to khalis..wad i did nxt is really random* there were quite a no of ppl's bday being celebrated that day. and there were bday songs being sung and cake being given. there was a guy that's not far frm me. and after a while, when the song has been sung, photos taken, woo-ha gone, i told him abt the challenge i gave to myself. and i really did take it up. guess wad? i went up and walked over to the bday boy's table. it took a while before i got his attention *dang* when i finally got it, i asked for a hi-5 frm him. he jus lifted his hand but din push it forward. so i jus smacked my hand against his then told him that he and i have the same bday. at that point, i was starting to get nervous. cos i tot that maybe they gave him a belated bday celebration and that he wasn't saying much. so i started twirling my necklace pendant. a few seconds later, he asked if i'm bryan's fren. now, that's a random and fast one frm him. yet, quite expected cos i did catch his eye a few times during dinner. hehe. well, i denied and when he pointed out to the area i was sitting, i figured he must have tot my fren i'm dining with is bryan. tat's certainly not so. so i quickly said no. the whole conversation ended off with us wishing each other happy bday. haha. well, not anything i was expecting. haha. was dreamin if he wld ask for my number or give me a piece of his cake or buy a slice of cake frm Fish and Co and offer to me. haha. oh well. nevertheless, it was an interesting dare that dared myself to do *funny eh?*

after that, he and i jus walked down all the way back to Orchard (that being my 3rd time in a day there). wanted to eat the free ice-cream at swensens! but i was still full and din wanna force myself. but thinking back, i really regret! bday only comes once a year! i shld have taken that chance! grr! so we walked to the bus stop at wisma and took a bus home. it's nice. thanks for your company throughout the night!

lastly, not to be forgotten..the tradition of a family bday cake celebration! =) and it's so nice to see SO many candles on the cake! so rare..all in all, i have 10 candles! 1 big one and 9 small ones. hey..the next time i'll have this many candles is when i'm 29 years old! haha. better cherish this once in every ten years scene!

well, am grateful for the card jia wen gave me. couldn't stop laughing when i was reading it. and to alvin, thanks for the nineteen roses for my nineteen bday! he drew it himself leh!! in 8 hours! it's totally awesome! thanks for the effort! and to sh, thanks for the mp3 speakers which you had to tell me. haha. and to yw, thanks for the corner protector! din noe this product exist (shows how little i've been shopping :P). it's really cute. and definitely, to my ex-colleagues, thanks for the heart-shaped necklace! finally, i got one nice good silver one! yay! THANKS! okay..and to zhiwen, whose present i haven't received, thanks still for the effort put in for the past few days! =D

okay. so it's already 2 days into my 20th year on earth. i know i'm supposed to reflect but there's nothing much though. much of wad is said. maybe next time. but well, one thing is that i'm really thankful that God has seen me through my 19 years on earth. and He has been very faithful to me and calls me back and loves me even though i stray from Him. thank you God!
