Maddy discovered this autograph book that she had in primary school while packing her room and there was this page where i penned three paragraphs down. They read..

Sunny day, sunny day, where are you?

Cloudy day, cloudy day, please come out,

And I'll join your birthday party.

Please see me, please watch me.

Please see and watch me until I go to the heaven.

Love you, love you, I love you.

I love my darling the cute little rabbit.

I laughed my fucking ass off when i saw it. I think I was in Primary 1 or 2 then. Very random, but very original. Absolute innocence and cuteness.

2007-12-29T20:17:00.000-08:00

I think you've hurt me right there.

But it'll spur me on.

spin me

2007-12-12T11:45:00.000-08:00

First time to the spin class and I absolutely love it. I like it more than yoga and it is on par with pilates. I should make it a point to set aside every wednesday evening for it. I was actually planning to suspend the membership after I shift, but looks like it's not going to be very possible.

I like gays and I want to make gay friends.

As I read the blog, I feel as if I know you even though I actually do not. My heart sank as I read those really heartwarming entries with the accompanying songs playing at the back. Rest in peace, my fellow SIM friend, and the other dragonboaters. My condolences to each one of your family and friends.

What's better than having fun, bonding, and money-making all rolled into one?

And our favourite food at the end of everything!

Always your pillar of support.

You know you can count on us.

That's what best friends are for.

What was thought to be a chick flick turned out to be a heart-wrenching movie that activated our tear-ducts. Huijun and I were practically tearing non-stop. I never liked The Rock but he was really attractive in the show, which i think is attributed to the fatherly role that he played. And I, who grew up without the love of dad, found that really sweet. I was thinking about it as I watched the show and I pictured someone along the line of Joe Kingman to be the ideal. I want a guy whom I can foresee will be a great father to our children. He has to let me feel that he can be the respected dad to our kids and needless to say, the charming husband in my eyes. A little far-fetched I know. But I can dream right.

I lost my handphone the other day so please text me your numbers! And I've gotten myself a Samsung yet again and I can't stop playing with it. I love Samsung!

I bought Acuvue Define.

KS said it resembles pregnancy test kit.

Haha. I think so too.

2007-10-07T23:45:00.000-07:00

Today marks my first visit to St James Power Station, not to club, but to get cheap digs. I'm very proud of myself for being able to walk out of Powerhouse with just 11 bucks poorer.

On a seperate note, I hate lizards. I was showering when a lizard fell from the ceiling. I screamed and I jumped. Fucking lizard. I aimed the shower hose at it and drowned it while trying to recover from the heart attack. Thank god that it didn't fall on me la. I shiver at the thought as I type. Eeeww.

2007-09-27T00:56:00.000-07:00

Surrounded by a massive bunch of secondary school kids, the mere 10 minutes bus journey never seemed longer. I felt suffocated and couldn't wait to get off the bus. You know kids in school uniform have a kind of smell. I wonder how I smelled in my uniform days.

There's this place in Choa Chu Kang that we went for dinner last week. Ice, Lina and bf, and yours truly. A wine cellar with really laid-back ambience with excellent service. It's ironic that Ice asked me a few days prior to the dinner if I ever feel lonely without a boyfriend and I told her no i don't, yet during the dinner I somehow wished that I have a boyfriend who would be embracing the opportunity of the lovely ambience with my loves and I there and then. I've never felt quite the same in the longest time. I guess it's also because we were talking about relationships.

These are just moments. I snap back to reality immediately after.

hey! gorgeous @ SIM

2007-09-15T23:58:00.000-07:00

The Hey! Gorgeous crew were conducting their search at SIM yesterday. And the invited guest was Julian Hee. I've never found him like wow on tv, but in person, he looked OMG! I think I was swooned over. It wasn't love at first sight, but more like he grew on me after a short while. I was devastated when told that he's gay. Is he really gay? He doesn't look or behave like one at all. So I'm now nursing a broken heart. duh. Anyway, the winner Peiling got a hug from him and I'm jealous can. I want one too! Okay Peiling is really pretty I must say. Bent said she looks better than Fiona Xie!

School was really lively. On other days, it's like ghost town.

F3's the champ!

You know I've always associated Sentosa with just tanning and chilling and have never stayed in there from morning till night for the longest time, or maybe never in my entire life to date. It's always either tanning during the early part of the day, or chilling out at night, but never both together in a day. The underwater world and whatnots were just tourism spots that we locals don't think much of and always put at the back of our heads. But three days ago, I actually spent almost a good 12 hours in Sentosa to celebrate Wati's birthday. A whole load of fun, really!

Picnic. Baking in the sun. Dolphin's Lagoon. Underwater World. Songs of the Sea. The Skyride. The Luge. Cafe Del Mar.

The main highlight of the day was the diving session @ The Underwater World, which is the birthday girl's present from us. Underwater World would be nothing special without the diving trip. No, I didn't dive. But thanks to Joe that I managed to enter the dive area to see them get prepared to dive. And dinner at Cafe Del Mar was a first. They serve really mouth-watering mushrooms. I could just eat a whole dish of that anytime.

And you wonder why she's tanning when she's already so dark? =X

Doesn't matter dark or not. =)

Happy Birthday girl! =)

My effort paid off!

I stared at the 5 units and almost couldn't believe my eyes.

Triple checked to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.

I am delirious with joy at the results of three units, one of them especially.

Though not exactly satisfied with another two, I gotta learn to be content.

Thankfully those two are half units, and since both are equally bad, none will pull the other down.

My previous post just disappeared into thin air!

Welcome to my world

2007-08-20T01:25:00.000-07:00

fashbash was awesome. and so was the damage done. I know who are the ones who will give me a good dressing down but please don't ask me how much I spent. I knew I had to get those because of their uniqueness. I have been a good girl the past week anyways, staying home a lot to save moolah for yesterday's fashbash and today's flea and easy. flea and easy was a lot kinder to me as the damage done was only 13 bucks.

I am going to stay home a lot this coming week too. I have been going out too much this hols anyway.

I really live up to my nick.

First, I am quite the emo junkie thus "emotionalexcitement".

Second, I can't resist temptation when it comes to shopping thus "succumbed2temptation".

I hereby annouce that I've ruthlessly emptied my already pathetic bank account.

DBS, continue deducting 2 bucks from me every month.

I'm not crazy. It is just a disorder.

life is great and i love it

2007-08-08T14:40:00.000-07:00

got back the tan last week.
then coffee for lunch and crystal jade for dinner on monday.
movie, coffee, and mahjong yesterday.
bintan tomorrow till the 11th. (more tanning)
what better way is there to spend the holidays.
i'm a bummer.
and i'm loving it.

till we meet again

2007-08-07T02:14:00.000-07:00

Though the party poppers were a failure, and though you kinda expected the "welcome and bye" surprise dinner, I hope you've enjoyed every inch of it (which I believe you did ). Take care! See you in December maybe?

2007-08-01T01:40:00.000-07:00

Why does everyone sees it as not a big deal?

And dinner wasn't as great too. oh wells.

I miss you, Aisyah.

I'm extremely looking forward to Saturday's event, the Welcome Party!

2007-07-30T01:54:00.000-07:00

Nothing beats a cuppa good coffee.

With great company of course.

Two in three days is more than good.

Haven't sat at a cafe at 5am in the morning in a long while.

Just chatting away.

It felt good.

The quietness and all. Except that it's a tad cold.

Brrrrr.

2007-07-25T01:42:00.000-07:00

We make our own luck.

of fate and friends

2007-07-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how a couple of days at work together last year actually brought shihui and i closer though we have never spoken to each other throughout our poly days. It's amazing because I feel as if I have known her for eons.

And thank you eunice for coming. It's the first time I spoke so much to you.

Out for dinner now.

best stuff on youtube!

2007-07-19T02:56:00.000-07:00

I came across this on Samantha's blog and good gracious! This is so hilarious you really have to see it for yourself! It takes a while to load, but trust me, it's worth all your time.

Check out his english. Listen out for these. He said:

"You sucks you sucks you sucks sucks sucks"

"Are you kukuroo kukuroo?"

"Without the nose you're just dusty"

"Wanbao please shoe xiaxue"

And you have to listen to him swearing in hokkien vulgarities, towards the end of vid. Also, his "whatever" sounded like "what-dever". It's not just his english that's so entertaining. His facial expression, too.

http://www.youtube.com/v/riBS5cURFRI">

I'm laughing like a hyena now.

An awesome week ahead!

2007-07-17T02:02:00.000-07:00

Totally splendid. I gym-ed with shan and caught up with the favourite girl lina. Gym session was awesome! I'm all smiles now. Friends who know, will know. Then, dinner with Lina was fabulous. Talked about herself and her new guy. He sounds like a good man, and naturally I'm very happy for her. I told hj that I sincerely hope she'll be next. She's seeing someone nice now by the way. :D Ok so dinner was at soup spoon. Huge portion lah, I must say. Soup for dinner sounds like insufficient? but trust me, it is very filling. I got myself a vest, which is totally uncalled for, cause' I wanted shoes instead. This is bad. I shouldn't be shopping now that I'm not working. BAH!

On the topic of work, I feel really lazy this hols. I've been working pretty hard during every other hols, but this time round, I just feel like lazing at home, working out at the gym, bake cookies and cake, play the piano, indulge in good books with a cuppa iced coffee, study for my basic theory, blade, badminton, wakeboard (but I need a lot of money for that), get myself a good pedicure for my dry and tired feet (also need $), play mahjong, and play with my niece. I was offered a job at the shop by my ex-boss but I turned it down. Also was offered another job which I initially wanted to have a go at it. But, there was one night when I woke up a couple of times during my sleep, and the first thought was shit I don't wanna work. It happened every single time I woke up that night. So, I decided to follow my heart. I really dread the thought of working this hols. Prolly it's my last hols. And also prolly cause' I couldn't get an internship at desired companies. Since I'll be working not for the experience that I want, and not for the dressing of my CV, and only for the money, I decided not to work! But it's causing me to feel that I'm such a slacker. To make all this worth the money that I will not get, I must make the most out of this hols. Like this week, just looking at my plans makes me high.

monday - gym with shan, dinner with lina

tuesday - gym and coffee with shan, dinner with shihui

wednesday - badminton and mahjong

thursday - ktv with yiming and gym

friday - shall rest at home

saturday - dinner with wanling and co. and after-dinner drinks at maybe loof?

sunday - if sun is good, tan and swim with maddy. if bad, yoga with maddy. after that, maddy wants to go Ikea, which I don't really want cause' I just went. but, think MEATBALLS!!

A healthy week yeah, with all the gym and badminton sessions. Seems like it's gonna be a really fulfilling one. Cheng, when's our squash and rock-climbing session?

I forgot to take pictures today! I must remember to do so tomorrow! Nights.

beeeeegy

2007-07-15T01:36:00.000-07:00

The past week was spent meeting the BME people, for some nice dinner at Ichiban Boshi, and Calista for some catching up, shopping and dinner at Kobayashi or something, on separate days. The rest of the weekdays were spent at home and at the gym, for some good workout I must say. I've never really worked out that much in a day before.

Also, Aisyah and I have accomplished our korean dvd marathon in two weeks. It's actually a show that I've seen before on tv -" Which star are you from?". But I was dying to catch it again for the first few episodes which I missed and the male lead. He's not particularly good-looking, but he has a certain kind of charm with a good body to boot, not forgetting the perfect height and the kind of shoulders where your head can lean nicely onto. Of course, the story line is good, too. That was the first korean show I ever caught, and it also marked the kickoff point for my interest in the korean language, and dramas. Next will be "Love Story in Harvard".

I also did a Brazilian wax for free, courtesy of Wanling.

I was intending to go for one soon, but this offer saved me a good 40 bucks at least.

That is all for tonight, folks.

Anyong-hi jumuseyo (Good Night)!

2007-07-12T00:56:00.000-07:00

Try closing your eyes, and think.

What will happen if you don't do it.

4e4!

2007-07-11T13:10:00.000-07:00

These are my two very close friends in class back then.

Times spent during my secondary school days, I will always remember.

I can only say I'm too glad that I went for the 4e4 chalet.
Let's do more of this, people.

2007-07-09T01:05:00.001-07:00

Who leaves Ikea without eating those Swedish meatballs?

yay-ness!

2007-07-06T14:14:00.000-07:00

Wowee! I went down to Ubi cdc yesterday to open an account and to book basic theory. The test date's sometime away at end of August. I previously saw online that they have a test date on 30th July but I reckon that the site isn't updated. I thought that I can take the test asap but i guess what matters is that I've finally taken my first step to do what I should've done four years ago. Procrastination is so evil. People who know that I've dragged this on for years, be very happy for me! Thanks to Yiming for going down with me.

Then we cabbed to Parkway to lunch and then had coffee. Finally satisfied my crave for caffeine. We spent the whole afternoon at coffee bean with him teaching me how to play chinese chess cause' I mentioned to him the other day that I want to learn to play it. Pretty much to remember for a start. Like the moves and all. Very mind-boggling. It's fun but I'd say it'll be even more interesting after i get the hang of it.

Thanks Yiming for the chess set!

He won all three games!

I'm not that bad either. I almost killed him in the third game. Just almost.

A great afternoon of coffee and chess.

When you feel that you're drained with all the thinking, a cuppa ice-blended does the trick!

What's better is that I booked my basic theory!

Things are starting to roll.

Next on the list will be to pick up piano playing again.

First time feeling accomplised since hols started.

pffft!

2007-07-03T01:35:00.000-07:00

Because I seldom hang out with some people anymore, I know they think that I was lying when I gave some reason why I couldn't turn up for some outing that I initially said I would. I honestly didn't lie. I tried to see it from their point of view and somehow I could understand if they really think that way. For someone like me who always don't turn up for their gatherings. But let them think whatever they want to think. I don't really give a flying fuck about it okay. I don't have a guilty conscience. Go ahead and think whatever!

That aside. Some really retarded pictures of us.
Check out our elongated legs. Some mirror effect.

thanks nic, for the dinner.

love you, my baby

2007-06-30T00:15:00.000-07:00

Baby,

I can't be more happy that you are back with me.

Do you know how helpless I was without you around?

Just when I needed you, you weren't there for me.

I know, I probably took you for granted,

thinking that you'll always be there.

Despite you ignoring me, I didn't want to give up.

Although the idea ever crossed my mind,

I couldn't bear to do so after all.

I was a tad disappointed with you,

but thinking of all the times we have spent together,

i chose to give you another chance.

After all I was the one who neglected you first.

During my 2 months of serious mugging, I totally casted you aside.

I didn't bother to show concern at all.

I believe that must have led you into depression.

I wanted to revive everything,

so I took you to the computer doctor and have you cured.

Alas, after changing the power supply,

you are up and running!

I promise that I'll check on you often no matter how

busy I am, Mr Computer.

Love,

Cordy

Donuts that give u the BIG "O"

2007-04-01T20:10:00.000-07:00

Ok I guess I have to eat my words. I went to heat the donuts up and oh my good gracious they taste extremely delicious can? They really don't taste as nice if not heated up. You know, with the slightly melted chocolate on the lightly soft and crisp bread.. oh my I can't continue further. Now I know, that explains the queue. I want to eat somemore, but I don't think I'll go and queue. It take 2 to 3 hours, not 3 minutes.

As you can see, I've changed my layout, added new chatterbox, and of course, with my comments link intact. What am I doing in the midst of preparing for exams? Well, to relieve some stress of course. (= I think I am dead dead meat this time. I really don't know a single thing about Advanced Calculus. I thought I could self-study this unit just like what I did for Advanced Linear Algebra. I'm so screwed now.

I had dinner at Hog's breath @ Chijmes yesterday. Truth be told, the steak can't be compared to those served at Jack's Place. Enough said. I'm quite sure I will not have to eat my words on this one.

And if you're reading, I'm truly happy for the four of you. Heehee.
two good guys + two nice girls = two very wonderful relationships.
You have my utmost blessings.

of doughnuts and playtime

2007-03-31T00:45:00.000-07:00

Okay so i've tried the raved-about donut from The Donut Factory. I get to eat it without queueing. I mean, not that there wasn't a queue, but I wasn't the one who needed to queue. (= But I'm utterly super disappointed because they ran out of the spicy cheese flavour and the wasabi cheese flavour. I've just tried the peanut dark choc one, don't see what's so fantastic about it that's worth two-ish hours of queueing. I think it's like sour grapes since I didn't get to eat my cheesy donut. HAHA! But I must say with that kind of queue, they're making money like crazy with just dough.

You know, I have drawn up a to-do list for myself for after the exams. So many things that I want to do that I highly suspect I will never get to complete everything. really. Let's see..

1. internship
2. learn driving
3. pick up piano playing again
4. rock-climb with cheng
5. squash with cheng
6. windsurf before I totally forget everything
7. wakeboard
8. learn a new language prolly korean with aisyah, and porky might wanna join
9. scuba-dive (but quite scared)
10. gym 2 to 3 times weekly (this is quite needless to say)
11. roller-blade
12. a short trip to somewhere
13. yacht sailing with sam (but expensive lah!)

Right. How to accomplish all these since I'm only left with weekends in the event that I get an internship? And even if I manage to do it, I will only tire myself out and might not enjoy the process as much. But the thought of having endless things to do is very orgasmic. Other than time, I will need money for all that! If I were to prioritise, i will say getting my driving liscence will come in after internship. The rest of the tasks..well...play by ear lah.

2007-03-12T23:00:00.000-07:00

My professor for advanced calculus uses 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' when referring to 'numerator' and 'denominator' respectively. Sam and I looked up to the ceiling when he said upstairs. I couldn't help but laugh! It's actually the last lecture today yet it's the first time I'm hearing the terms he uses. Now you know how often I attend his lecture. No it's not something to be proud of.

Here's a piece of me, courtesy of Hj

keep them short!

2007-03-03T01:33:00.000-08:00

I've been on a losing streak at mahjong so much so that i've forgotten the feeling of winning! boon says my luck is not good so don't push too hard. maybe i should just stop playing for a while.

If you don't know, I snipped my hair off by a few inches before the CNY, but i feel that it's growing so quickly that I don't feel it's short anymore. I'll prolly need a cut again come April, because i've decided to keep it short for a while. I've never managed to keep them really long anyway. Everytime it grows a little past the shoulder, I would feel rather irritated. Short hair is so much easier to manage, although it means I have to blow it dry to give it shape and more volume. Hj went to chop her tresses off too, and now we both have short hair! But no pictures cause' I don't know where the hell my cable is!

are you my illusion?

2007-02-17T02:03:00.000-08:00

The book that I was referring to on my last post.. has this very sweet convo..

Jane was asking " So, if I am so uninteresting, why did you...why do you live with me?

The reply was "Your wild-mushroom risotto, perhaps. Or the way your hair springs up at the front. Your smile. Maybe it's because you don't cramp my style, you know how to give me space... Or because you've offered me a chance to be a father again without ramming it down my throat..."

He frowned and tried again. " I suppose I live with you because I am happier with you than I would be without you. Yes, that's it, it's like Cyril Connolly said, if we want to be happy we must select the illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion. And you are my illusion. You are my illusion of choice."

That was so sweet I tell you. The " live with you because I am happier with you than I would be without you" part. So simple, so sweet. (=

***

I bought chocolates for hj and aisyah. hope you guys love it. (=

***

Aisyah came over to my place earlier on, and we talked about a lot of things. Really a lot. One of our topics was on religion because she's currently attending this religious class. And I learnt a lot of things from her, things I never really knew about even when I was attending church and cell group and receiving bible study eons ago. Come to think of it, my attending of church regularly was something done almost a decade ago. (I don't wanna ramble about how time flies yet again)And at that time, it wasn't really commitment, it was just like a routine. Went for the sake of.. I don't know what. It triggered me tonight, after so long, to make a little prayer to God, to thank him for everything. This religious class that she is attending now, seems really interesting, and has absolutely intrigued me to find out more about religion, God and prophets. Maybe i'll borrow a book on it the next time i head to the library. And also made me want to make praying a daily thing, just to thank God for every little thing.

2007-01-30T23:38:00.000-08:00

I'm currently reading this book that says "When you're looking for Mr. Perfect, don't settle for The Next Best Thing". Cause' we deserve nothing but the best.

Do you actually believe in fengshui? I don't know a lot about it. Neither am I a firm believer of it. Uncle D. was telling me that for this year, according to a geomancer, the fire element supercedes the water element. That means that disasters/diseases will befall us. Just look at this year, he said. We're only 30 days into twenty-0-seven, and several unfortunate countries have been struck with bombing incidents, flood, etc.

Cancer is so fucking evil. Now, I'm keeping the best friend's mother in my prayers.

lunch bag

2007-01-20T15:05:00.000-08:00

Morrie from 'Tuesdays with Morrie' reminds me of the old man from 'The Holiday' movie. At the same time, sometimes when i read the book, the image of Uncle Donald from my workplace would spring up too. Just like Morrie, uncle Donald is the knowledgable, righteous, wise old man. And he has taught me a lot about life.

The pace has sorta slowed down since the last month. You know last year, I hardly had time for my friends. Weekdays were either spent schooling or working. Weekends were spent kayaking/windsurfing. I looked forward to rest days, but i hadn't had any. If I was lucky enough, I would have a Saturday all to myself. That cycle left me with hardly any time at all. I don't want to sound so feeble, but really, any free time I had back then, my only wish was to rest at home. But of course, I went against my own wish and went off to meet some people - those that I had neglected during the busy cycle. And now that things have been much slower, with me not going sailing, and reducing my days of work, I am going to drown myself in books and lecture notes. And just thinking about this, I can't help but to say time sure as hell flies. The time has come for us to mug again.. and I've met you for almost a year..

And on the topic of time, I can't quite believe that i'm turning 23 come november. The journey from 21 to 22 felt perfectly fine, but thinking of turning from 22 to 23 leaves me wishing for time to slow down. Just a little. I was whining with a few people just last week. But somehow, as if it was some magic, my perspective sorta changed. Twenty-three's gonna be the new twenty-one. It's still unbelievable, but since there's nothing i can do about it, I shall make the fullest out of it.

And the best friend's back from the states! I am happy! <3

I was reading tuesdays with morrie on the train on friday while I began tearing. I continued reading anyhow, held the book up to cover my face, hoping no one noticed. Then, at night, for the record, hj and I went all the way to the north to play mahjong. I still can't quite believe we actually did that.

I think Christmas countdowns are overrated. My idea of Christmas is somewhat a cosy one. But it kind of screwed up this year, with us practically doing nothing but cabbing around to different places to meet different sets of people. But, I have to say the earlier part at Timbre was exceptional. Next year, I think i would want to spend it at a house with lovely and warm people. I have absolutely no idea whose house it is gonna be, but a house it is. We shall have steamboat, and just spend the night away there. I'm picturing a fireplace but that's not quite possible unless I am out of the country.

Then for now, 2006 is coming to a close. 2007 is less than 24 hours away. It has been a pretty good year, I think. At least it hasn't been a bad one. What's my resoultion for the year, you ask. Driving. Yes, driving comes first to my mind. I need to go to the gym religiously too. I hope my resolution doesn't come to naught (again) when I review them at the end of 2007.

I can start using the 2007 organiser very, very soon!

Happy New Year!

of time

Time flies. Cliche as it may sound,it's an undeniable fact. You know time flies when you are shopping for a new organizer for a whole new year when it feels like it was only yesterday that you had just bought one. and yes i bought the 2007 organizer from kino last week. I can vividly recall the scenario at popular bookstore where i got my 2006 organizer from. Then when you realize that it's yet another year of unaccomplishment, you make a resolution for the coming year which, at the end of that year the task(s) remain undone still. Take driving for example. I wanted to learn driving since i turned legal at 18. Take a look at what i've achieved 4 years from then - zilch, not even the basic theory test. And as each year unveils, I tell myself that I'm so gonna get it done that coming year. But no, it is just another item left unchecked at year end. I so fucking hate myself for this.

it's official!

heyya darlings,

em0tionalexcitement's up (like finally) and i'm gonna close down the old blog in time to come. I signed up for livejournal but they didn't allow me to use sucha long username, and i really don't wanna use any other names other than this, so I decided to remain with blogger. Well, at least it saves me the trouble of exploring and getting used to something new all over again.

I'm a little late at announcing the official news that i've turned 22, like a month or so ago. and growing older isn't such a sad thing after all when i have God-gifted darlings to surprise me while being overwhelmed with the usual cakes and presents, the flowers that i don't receive every other year, and not forgetting the classic blindfold that porky did to me (with Rainer as her accomplice) to bring me to Mt. Faber via the cablecar, where ben, ming, boon, meihui are all waiting. Some years back, Aisyah aka Ice did that to me twice, i mean the blindfold, and brought me to the ktv where the moment I stepped in, the heartwarming and tear-activating birthday song was sung through the mic from people i didn't expect to be present. The second was when she brought me to Igor's, the ghost-themed restaurant and brought someone along to surprise me.

I realised what the besties in my life have in common: they like to blindfold me. <3

And of course, i thank all the other lovely ones in my life for the birthday celebrations/presents/presence/wishes/hugs and kisses. Every single one of you had made my birthday an unforgettable one, such that i'll remember it even if memory fails me when i'm old and wrinked.

My apologies for giving out the invitation to the poolside party only to cancel it thereafter.
