My 21st Birthday Party

On the 22nd April 2005, I had my 21st birthday party held at Aloha Loyang.



The whole chalet consists of the front yard (bbq area), the living room, the dining room, back yard, 4 rooms with attached bathrooms and a garage.
It's HUMONGOUS.


'The Rooms Block'. 2 rooms on each storey.


Back yard facing the kitchen.

彬彬(my sister) and her friend, Jevonne, arrived with Abbie and her parents, and we went to swim!


Abbie in swimsuit! Little tummy + curly hair + droopy cheeks, SO CUTE!


1st time in the water..


She couldn't quite get use to it.

She was whimpering a little but after some clowning from the crazy aunt:



Brave little Abbie waddled around on her own!




Relaxed..like a professional.

Meanwhile in the kitchen..
Weili was busy cutting up the stingray for me.



The fish was so tough that it nearly drove the gorilla crazy.


See what I mean?

Makan time..

Lets start with the Chefs of the day:


Mr Chua Idris Mohd Shafiq aka THE Boyfriend


肥肥 aka cousin
I was shocked and touched that he actually helped to cook the food, considering how I always disrupt his beauty sleep with the harmless tickles on his feet 20 years ago.
*wipes tears*

I was so grateful to them that I asked Yanyan's God to snow to cool them off a little.



Apparently her god is not a good one..

Thus, I hired some part timers instead.


The Stamford Ah Peks.


Er..I have no idea where did this chicken rice seller come from...

If you are wondering why didn't I cook myself..
I WAS BUSY OK!


Busy photo-whoring..


Calvin, me, Kaiyuan and Kenneth


June and me.


Me and Lulu = 肛门嘴!


3 of us.


June B and Me + 1 extra. (She looks weird..don't know what is she doing at my party..)


Teeny boopers. The one on the left is my sis. Any resemblance? Many say she looks like an eurasian..
We don't think we look alike at all..


肥肥 and his wife. 亲爱的表嫂.


2 Charlie's Angels + 女杀手! SHEE SHA SHOR SHOR SHEE!!


Charlie's Angels trying to molest 女杀手.


阿鸟, the lamb. Identity crisis.
代罪的羔羊.


2 Charlie's Angels + 女杀手 wanna eat MURTABAK.

When we were all busy snapping away, a poor soul was busy mugging for his paper on the next day...



In order to repay his kindness, Her Majesty decide to fend off all disturbance for this very good friend.


YOU GO AWAY AH! DON'T DISTURB HIM!


Only I can! MUAHAHAHAHA!!








Enough of fooling around..Let's eat the cake!


Oops! Sala!
NOT TITS LA!! CAKE!!


Correct. C is for Cake. C is for Chocolate Cake.


Me and Cake.


My family with the cake. Daddy went off for work.

Ciao.

My face is peeling..

So is my jeans.

Boreeeeddd

Slept over at Yanyan's place and now I'm ultimately BORED.

Now I'm waiting for the smelly girl to bathe so that I can go meet Idris at West Mall.

She just put up her wishlist for her birthday.
So inconsiderate of her! Weili and I are checking into her chalet with her this Thursday so that only leave us tomorrow to get her present. TOMORROW LEH!! bu yao mai gei ni liao.

On a different note..can her rich readers out there please please buy her the air-conditioner? Her room is really very, very hot. If there's an air-con, I'll come over more often and I'll take pictures of her, ok?
Pictures of her digging her nose, wrapped in a towel, etc.

AH!! I'm so boooorrrreeeddd!!! Yanyan is in bra and underwear now, together with bad sunburn and peeling skin. YUCKS.
I'm peeling too. Oh well.

lalala..

Dead beat from my birthday chalet.

Sunburnt.

Aching muscles.

Craving for Smacking K(TV)

AAhhhhhhhhhhhh......

What I did on my birthday...

1.去給我姑媽上香

2.Abbie, Abbie & Abbie.



I looked as if I've receding hairline. MY FOREHEAD IS SO LUOHAN-ISH.
But that's not the point.
Abbie!! koochikoochikooooooooooo!!

3.Angbaos from my uncle. He insisted that he should give me $21 since it's my 21st birthday. During my primary school days, he told me that if I achieved the 1st position, I'll get $1; $2 for the second place.
Thus, he encouraged me to get the last position. =_=!

Anyway, he gave me an angbao with $21, THE REAL ANGBAO (just like I'll always receive another present together with $2..) and a 3rd angbao on the behalf on my late aunt.

I can't bear to use the money in the 3rd angbao..



Seldom see these notes nowadays..

4.Treat from Idris.

5.Photo whoring..

I realized that since I'm no longer a minor, it seems wrong to act cute anymore..

So..I took LOADS OF THEM to get them over and done with.
If anyone has a weak stomach..better don't scroll down.















For those who hates me..please don't scold me ok?



拜托!拜托!




I really wonder how the young girls do it. Especially the Japanese.
My facial muscles got so tired of doing those expressions that they started having spasms.


*twitch twitch*


Last but not least, must act chio abit..

TADA!!!




The End

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala...

Today is...

My 21st Birthday!!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

xiao jie, wo ke yi gen ni zuo peng you ma?

That is like so PASSE la!

That day I was on the bus on my way to meet my boyfriend.

You know how you can always sense that someone is looking at you?
I got that feeling once I got on the bus.

So, while I was busy sms-ing my party invitations, this guy, tapped on my shoulder.

GUY: Hi, I'm badabadaicanthearasinglethinghewasmumblingabout.

ME: HUH?!?!

GUY: (proceeds to show me a piece of paper with a name and a number) Hi, I'm SIM TA TOOT. Can I make friends with you?
*I don't know the name la. He was still mumbling. I only remembered seeing a 'SIM' on that piece of paper.

ME: (disgusted look) NO..You are so old.

I went back to my mobile.

Yanyan said I was rude although she was laughing.

I'm not rude what.
As a matter of fact, he IS old for me. Judging from his looks, I bet he is in his thirties although his pick-up lines showed otherwise.

Putting his almost-non-existent eligibility aside, eheh, guys out there, do you all still pick-up girls like that?

Unless the guy really drop dead gorgeous, I seriously don't think anyone will want to 'make friends' with a guy who shoots that crap out of his mouth. And if the guy is that good-looking, he don't even need to pick girls up.
Thus, I think this 'technique' is a guarantee chop, 100%, marked with a big fat marker: FAIL.

SHEN ME NIAN DAI LIAO?!?!

By the way, I prefer people who likes to chew my black plastic beads better.



Even better if you wear a bright orange head band with matching bangles AND the correct height.

I want to grow taller too..

June just told me via MSN that she grew taller.

SO UNFAIR!! She was like 168 when we were in poly, AND SHE CAN STILL GROW TALLER!!!

I know there's this surgery whereby the surgeon will insert screws or some clamp-like gadgets between the bones to make the legs longer, but that sounds VERY PAINFUL.


There's a kind of breast enhancement surgery, in which they inject fats obtained from another body part into the breast. Do you think it is possible to inject fats into the soles of our feet and make us taller, by two to three centimeters?

But then again, I walk alot. The fats might be burnt off really fast. ohoh I know! I shall build the muscles on my soles. Even if I won't grow taller, at least I have more paddings, thus reducing the stress on my legs when I wear heels, then I can say sayonara to varicose veins!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm mad.

My Lesson

I'm having a queasy feeling in my stomach...
Talked to Yanyan just now about her friend who passed away.
I guessed that's why the feeling.

I was telling my friends about this thing that my cousin told me - as we grow up, we'll be going through different phases of life. Now that we are all celebrating 21st birthdays, we will then be participating in weddings, house warmings, baby showers..

She left out deaths.

When we were all young and innocent, death seems to be an abstract issue. My grandfather passed away when I was six but I was too young then and not very close to him to understand neither pain nor grief.

As I grow older, I've attended quite a number of funerals. Sheded tears, because I felt sad. Sad for the deceased families, sad for the friends who lost their loved ones. I don't think I understood the pain they felt.

Not yet.

However, things changed almost two years ago.

I lost someone very very dear to me.

There's this saying which says the time can heal the pain. I'd thought that would work.
But I don't think my pain was healing.
Now, as a matter of fact, I don't think the pain will ever heal...

The pain of losing someone is not the same as the pain we get when we physically injure ourselves. Physical wounds heals and there might not be a single trace that it was there in the first place.
But losing someone? That particular person will never be around anymore. Never. The pain will always be there..just like the person will always not be with us.

My pain is still here. My heart is still aching as I type this.

That's life. Everyone goes through that.
Lessons of life.

Feeling this pain within me is an important lesson for me.

When the pain didn't go away for a long long time, I tried to escape from it, I tried to forget about it. Of course I failed. It wouldn't go away, it comes back and haunt me from time to time instead. Many times in the middle of the night, I cried myself to sleep. I hated those times, and I hated to be weak.

I wrote an entry long ago on losses. I said that after suffering from a big loss, I am stronger and wouldn't give a damn about any other minor losses. It was only half correct.

After losing something so important, I've told myself not to be too stubborn about certain insignificant stuff as there are things that are much more significant. On the other hand, I keep reminding myself to treasure what I have and fight for the things that are important, to me.

While I am stronger mentally to deal with challenges like pain, stress, etc, I've also become wary or even scared to imagine myself experience that kind of emotional shock again.

People always take things for granted even when we know we shouldn't. As we grow older, we'll experience and learn from these little lessons of life.

There are times when I wish I could reverse time to prevent myself from feeling that kind of pain. I know I can't but I just couldn't help it. I still grief over the loved one whose no longer around.
But I'm also learning to look on the other side of the coin and whenever I'm feeling upset again, I'll see and feel the pain as reminders for me to do what I have to do.

I am still learning the many lessons to be learnt.

Sometimes, we just have to learn the hard way. Don't we?
