~ Caprina's Birthday-Cum-Gathering ~ 3:59:00 pm

Ex-Bowenians... Birthday Girl's in the center...

Attended my ex-secondary school classmate, Caprina's birthday dinner-cum-gathering at Amirah's Grill, which was located at Pahang Street, yesterday evening...

It was nice getting to meet up and chill with some of my ex-schoolmates after so long... For some, I have not even met up with them since the day we took our O' levels results, say about 6 years ago?... Yup, that was how long it was... Well, I was determined not to leave out on this gathering since I missed the BBQ Gathering that was organised last August...

Lots of updates were going on around and I even held conversations with ex-schoolmates whom I didn't even know back while we were still schooling... Yeah, it was fun...

The downside... I had forgotten to bring my camera along, so I had to retort to 'pinching' the pictures from some of them... *Hee*...

And now, I shall look forward to the next gathering which I believe, will be organised soon... =)


I like this photo a lot! Cuz the photographer made me the focus of the photo and yet, there were conversation going on at the back... *Hee*... And why did I look away? Cuz I was very shy... *Hehehe*...

~ On My 22nd Birthday... ~ 10:46:00 pm

So, I've turned 22 today... Well, to me, being 22 doesn't make any difference... It's just another number that increases every year...

In my previous entry, I've said that I wanted to spend some quiet moment with my special someone... But that plan, well, it kinda backfired... Instead, we had an adventurous, crazy time... All the way in Sentosa... *Heh*...

But what really touches me the most on my birthday was to receive a birthday cake from my special someone... What so special, you would say? The fact that made it very special was that he had baked the cake himself, specially just for me... *Awwwwww*... Even though he said that it looks very 'shitty', I don't care... It's the thought that counts... And it was those thoughts that made it so important to me...

And also, a birthday cake from my future sister-in-law... Goodness, it was really a surprise!! Now, I gotta get something for her...

And well, so many surprises, when all I wanted was a simple birthday... But really, I'm so thankful for them... And a very big Thank You to everyone who have remembered my birthday... I love you guys!! =)

P.S. A special mention to Fione To for the very, very unique birthday wish... So unique that I had to spend 5 minutes just trying to figure out the message and another 5 minutes to reply to her back... *Hehe*...

Nonetheless, thank you girl!! =D

~ 3 Days Before I Turn Two-Two... ~ 8:51:00 pm

Just three more days to go before I turn Two-Two...

Unlike last year, I don't yearn or intend to have a big bash for my birthday... I rather have something simple... Spend a quiet time with my special someone and share a bonding moment with my family...

However, I did bought a little birthday gift for myself... From me, to me... Lame? No, I just wanna spend a little something for myself...

What is it? I will let you know on my birthday itself... That's why it's called a birthday gift... *Hehe*...

~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART ~ 11:28:00 pm

Friday the 13th... People say it's a very superstitious day... It's a day filled with lots of bad luck...

But not for me... In fact, today is a day filled with surprises and happiness...

Today is the birthday of someone who is very close to my heart... Someone is who is very special to me... And this person is none other than my special someone, my boyfriend...

The day started with...

We were supposed to meet earlier at 11am as he had to work in the evening... Well, being him, he had overslept all the way till 11am... But then again, he can't be blamed since he had ended work at 1am... And since today is a Friday, which meant that he had to go for his Friday prayers, it was almost impossible for us to meet due to the duration of time...

BUT... I was SUPER happy that he had overslept and that we couldn't meet... In fact, I had persuaded him that it was alright for us not to meet on his birthday... Especially since something "creative" was already cooking up in my already overloaded brain...

1.20pm... I left my house, headed down to Ang Mo Kio... Brought the necessary stuffs needed...




2.30pm... On the way in the bus... Left a message on his handphone but he took ages to reply...

2.50pm... Called him on his handphone... Nil reply...

3.05pm... After 3 missed calls & 1 replied message, he finally picked up my call... My message for him - "Dear, can you come down now?...

Yes, it was a surprise for him!! Thank God, the whole plan didn't backfired... I was SO worried that it would... And my heart was beating furiously, due to my worry...

I had to wait for him for another 15 minutes after that but it really didn't matter to me cuz I had a 'companion' under the void deck... *Hee*...


The 'companion'

Nonetheless, I had enjoyed my day...

To my one and only,



HAPPY 23TH BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!
May your days fill with happiness throughout... And hopefully, all those that you've dreamt and wished for will come true... I Love You!

~ My 21st Birthday Chalet ~ 5:30:00 pm

So, okay... I've decided to blog an entry on my chalet after all... Well, what can I say? It's my 21st birthday celebration... Something to remember...

Although the plans for the chalet wasn't last minute (I've booked the chalet 3 months in advance!), well, the preparations were! Partly cuz I had no money... *Haha*... But also, I had to settle things for my ward party which was on the 21st...

Friday, Dec 15 2006

Book-in day... Although the book-in time was at 2.30pm, we only booked-in at about 5.30pm... Yup, due to our late preparations and the transport too... Not to mention, we actually 'lost' our way there... *Haha*... No, we didn't really lose our way but instead of going to Costa Sands Downtown East, we went to Costa Sands Pasir Ris... No thanks to the signboards which pointed us towards the Costa Sands Pasir Ris (do you know that I rely a lot on signboards?)... *Tsk tsk*...

After registering for the chalet and getting of the keys, we went searching for the chalet room... Quite easy to locate but pretty far in, especially with the amount of baggage that we brought along... *Haha*... Anyway, the chalet room was at the 'G' section and the good part was that it was at the ground floor... And, our barbeque pit was only outside the room... Which I was told by my friend, was good and lucky! *Haha*... My first impression of the chalet? Just like a hotel room... Quite impressive...

After settling in, we had some rest before heading out for dinner at Downtown East... Well, there wasn't any BBQ on the first night since we had only planned it on the second night... Hence, we had to get our food from the food centre... Thank God for the amenities... And that's why I chose Costa Sands Downtown East... *Hehe*... Anyway, I had Ayam Penyet which didn't taste that great but since we were hungry, everything tasted good... *Haha*... Oh well...

Had a little stroll around Downtown East after dinner since it was our first time there... Anyway, they are still expanding the area (there's gonna be a cinema as well in 2007) so it wasn't that fantastic... Captured some pictures on the camera before retreating back to our room...

Back to our room, my sister took a nap since she was having a headache while my parents went out to take a stroll around the area (it was pretty nice with the lit-up trees... With lights, of course... *Hehe*)... And as for me, I took the opportunity to use the free wireless on my laptop... *Haha*...

Soon after, my 5th uncle and his wife came... Well, at least with their presence, there were, well, more commotion and of course, laughter since the room and place were getting too boring... After which, my 7th uncle came about 20 mins later, with my cousins since he brought them for movies (I'm SO JEALOUS!! *Hehe*)...

Anyway, my dad bought some satay and roti john from the food centre and there we were... Enjoying our food... Watched Titanic on the TV before the elders went home... Yup! They left us at the chalet on our own with my younger cousins! *Haha*... Wished we could create some havoc but apparently, I was bloody broke so well, no havoc! *Hehe*...

Played Monopoly (out of all games) all the way till 1am before tucking in... Well, not before taking some snapshots!

Saturday, Dec 16 2006

Woke up at 7am... Got ourselves ready... Bought breakfast from McDonalds & BK... After which, we were joined by 2 of my other cousins... My sister prepared the egg mayo for the sandwich...

And finally, to Escape Theme Park! Well, since it was my first time going so I don't really know how the games or rides were... Anyway, my cousins had to change the coupons to tickets and yeah, that took a whole lot of time away... As for my sis and myself, we used the free complimentary tickets that we received from booking of the chalet...

First game, the whatever-it-was-called... All I know was that we were seated in cup-like seats and it went spinning and spinning... Upwards, downwards, side-ways... And I started to feel giddy from all those spinning... But that wasn't so back...

Next up was the kite flyer... Okay, that was the one that really made my stomach chunning... Not because it was scary... Again, it was a spinning ride... I just couldn't see anymore halfway through the ride cuz my head was already giddy... And by the time we reached the ground, I really felt nauseated...

After which, we went to the Haunted House... Apparently, there was no one there yet so we were the one to make the grand entry... *Haha*... Well, since I've never been in there before, I really didn't know what to expect... Worse still, they (my cousins and sister) made me lead the way... Which meant that, they could close their eyes and just follow... As for me, I had to open the curtains and well, I can only close my ears and scream... *Haha*... It took us around 2 minutes in there before we finally head out...

Anyway, my 3 other cousins who retreated from the Haunted House, were enjoying themselves at the Bumper Boat... And yes, since we were standing at the edge, we got wet as well as they had this shooter that spurts water...

By then, both me and my sis needed a rest due to our spinning heads... *Haha*... The kids went on to try the Ferris Wheel, the Rainbow (if I'm not mistaken), the Pirates' Ship... And I did try the Mini Roller Coaster... Pretty short ride and small...

My sister and I then decided to go for the Go-Kart since my 2 of my cousins were pretty short in height and hence, not able to sit on a few rides... We waited for almost 30 minutes just to ride on the Go-Kart... And when we eventually did, halfway through the ride, it started raining, heavily... Thank God we managed to ride, otherwise, the wait would have simply be redundant... And oh, I actually got stuck on the slope... *Haha*... I keep stepping hard on the oil but the Go-Kart just wouldn't budge... In fact, I found myself rolling backwards... *Haha*... After a push from the personnel, the Go-Kart finally moved on again...

We were trapped in the rain for about 30 minutes... During the interval, the only game that was available was the Haunted House... This time round, there was a longer queue (probably cuz of the rain)... Anyway, I would say that it was more fun that the previous one... The Escape Theme Park staff recognised us and we told them that we wanted to go in again... *Haha*... Anyway, he was damn 'irritating' and told the people inside that we wanted the most scary experience...

Upon stepping in, this particular staff went to the side and started hitting her legs against the coffin, causing a long and draggy 'thud thud' sound... Anyway, when we were about to make the turn, my cousin and I noticed that there was a black figure behind us... I was told by my sister that she was laughing in the, well, Pontianak way... I can't think of the proper word now... *Haha*... Anyway, we started screaming as we were running, oblivious to whatever figures on the wall and sides, even the creaking bridge, as our only intention was to get away from the black figure... In fact, we were in there for less that 1 minute... *Haha*... Definitely some adrenaline rush there...

After the rain started to resolve, we queued for the Wet N Wild ride... Yeah, this was my favourite ride!! Queued for another 30 minutes before it was finally our turn... I don't really know how to describe the ride but it's like a roller coaster without the spinnings and there's water... And so, when the boat plunges down from the height, the water will definitely splash onto you... Anyway, I sat in front, so I wasn't as wet as my cousin... *Haha*... Meanie me... But I simply love the ride...

My sister and I then wanted to queue to ride for the single Go-Kart but the queue was too long and since we were tired of waiting, we decided to head elsewhere...

And where else but the Wet N Wild ride... It took us another 30 minutes and this time round, I sat at the back while my cousin sat in front... The result? A soaking wet me with a see-through t-shirt... *Haha*... But I enjoyed it!!

We finally headed back to the chalet and got ourselves ready... Went to the office to book my BBQ pit and at the same time, to complain about the room service... Apparently, I've paid for $3 for room service and no one came to do it... *Grrr*...

We started the BBQ at about 4.45pm... And slowly, everyone started to come... My parents, my uncle, my aunt, etc... My first guest was, of course, Siti since she was from work... Followed by Yangde & Andy... And Fione, Flora & Mike... Updated ourselves with each others' lives... Took some pictures here and there with my crazy bunch of friends and my siblings too...

And just nice, my special someone came just in time for the cake cutting... My friends sang a birthday song for me... Didn't make a wish but instead, I made a speech for everyone present... Just like what I've always wanted... My ice-cream birthday cake was a courtesy from Zhong Yangde and Andy Soh! So sweet of them...

After Yangde, Andy and Siti left, both Germac and Eliza came with respective partners...

A very memorable BBQ... Thankful to everyone who were present...

(Sorry, I'm too tired to continue elaborating...)

Sunday, Dec 17 2006

We were greeted by the rain instead of the usual morning sun when we woke up... Got ourselves ready and started packing up since it was book-out day... At the same time, took the opportunity to cut my second birthday cake, courtesy from my uncle!!

A very pretty cake, shared it with everyone who were present...

Waited for the rain to stop but it didn't... How sad... Thank goodness, there was a transport for us... Reached home about 12 noon and doze myself to sleep due to my tiredness...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A simply long entry... Don't mind me if there are grammatical errors... *Haha*... I don't think anyone would read anyway, since it's very very long entry...

~ Turning 21 ~ 6:30:00 pm

And so... I am officially 21 on the 13th of December... Which means, I can now watch R21 movies without having to sneak in... *Haha*... Okay lah... At least, I don't need my parents' signature for approval just because I'm not 21 yet...

Actually, to me, being 21 is no different from other years... I still don't get the freedom that I want (I still had to stick to my curfew time on my birthday!) and my parents are still as strict with me... But I guess, being 21 is already a stage where I am now seen as an adult, able to make capable decisions and being mature... But I will, somehow, let that 'kiddy'ness stay within me... *Haha*... Afterall, despite no matter how old I am, I am still seen as the 'baby' of the family...

And at this tender age of 21, I am really glad to have my loved ones with me on my birthday... Thanks a million to my family, special someone and friends for coming down for my chalet yesterday... A blog entry on my chalet? I will put it up whenever I feel like it... Or maybe not... *Hah*...

~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!! ~ 11:25:00 pm

HAPPY 41ST BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

Anyway, pitiful me had to spend the National Day at the hospital, working PM shift... But then, I got to see the fireworks again!! And it's much, much clearer this time cuz there wasn't any high-rise building blocking our view and hence, the beautiful lighted-up dark sky... Tried to capture the fireworks via my camera phone but heck, the quality sucks... So no pics from today's fireworks... *Haha*...

Anyway, went to the Fireworks Festival yesterday with my special someone... And I can't believe thousands of people were willing to wait for hours for just a-15 mins fireworks display... Well, what can I say... I was one of the thousands of people who were stupid enough to brave the sea of humans... Next time, no more...

The fireworks, well, was okay lah... Nothing THAT special... And the worse part was, the fireworks display was blocked by a stupid tree... At the moment in time, I really felt like chopping of the big tree... But then, we were there late so of course, we couldn't get the best viewing place...

Did manage to capture part of the fireworks display on video but I'll only fix that up later... For now, only this picture will do...


The lighted-up sky... *Stupid tree!!*

~ *Happy Birthday* ~ 12:56:00 am

*Ouch*... I can't believe that I have actually wore heels (or rather, stilettos) for more than 12 hours... Now, my poor feet are aching and it's pretty painful each time I step on the cold hard floor... Well, after all, it's been quite a long time since I last wore a pair of stilettos especially since I'm into flat pumps lately... *Hee*...

Anyway... A very late entry...

Wishing a very
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY
to my one and only sister...


Then again, it's better late than never right? *Hehe*...

Too tired to continue now so I will blog again when I have the time... Most likely after my night duties which is next week since I'll be on night again tomorrow... *Blergh*...

~ Happy Birthday ~ 11:34:00 pm

Things have turned around and life is much better and more positive now... Had a very-much-needed heart-to-heart talk with my special someone yesterday... At least, we both know how we felt about things that were going on... I'm just glad that we've managed to talk things out rather than choosing to ignore or avoid them all the time...

And thanks to a friend who was willing to listen to my problems and giving advices that led to this... I really appreciate you being there for me... Thank you...

Today was yet another special day... Although the time spent was short, yet it was sweet... Nothing beats spending my day with you...

Happy 22th Birthday Sweetheart!
