ƸӜƷ•¨¯`•My Recuerdos•¨¯`•ƸӜƷ

Ok,I just got the pictures so now I can report (ehem...update) on the two birthday 'bashes' I've been to in the past two weeks:-
1. Tang Qi Vin's (18/4/2008)
2. Wong Sze Haw's (25/4/2008)

Qi Vin's birthday dinner was a simple dinner at My Point Cafe where about 20 of us occupied the top floor 'private' parlour and ate,talked and made the waiter work OT (who asked them to close at 9:30??). After that we went to Aberdine Cafe (I don't know if I spelled it right) for a nightcap and further chit-chat (yes..silence is boring). Nothing much to highlight because I wasn't in the planning committee for this one. Here's a photo of me painting Qi Vin's nail with the black nail-polish Christina randomly brought along:-

*from his expression,you would have thought I was CHOPPING his fingers... not painting them -____-"

Mr Tang is 19 and about to leave for Aussie to further his studies...I'm gonna 'miss' him.Anyway,right after his celebration,he asked me,"Oi..how bout Sze Haw's birthday??" In my humble opinion,the most logical and labour-saving step we should taken was to arrange a DOUBLE celebration for the both of them since they're only a week apart..but it wouldn't have been as meaningful would it???And the heroine of the next birthday bash was my coussie. Cousin = worth my best effort. Qi Vin's also obliged to that formula;only he can replace the 'cousin' with __________ *wink wink*

Fast forward....

A week later.
The day was cheerful and bright. The sun was shining,people were smiling,the wind was blowing,music was playing...
Okay,okay..I'll stop the sarcasm/exaggeration.

I didn't have college on Sze Haw's birthday so I went swimming in the morning before going to college to 'escort' the birthday girl and a few others to lunch. Not any normal lunch,mind you. About two weeks before,we (Jack-O,me.Sze Haw,Nasiha,Wei Quing) had agreed to treat Sze Haw to Sushi King as her birthday celebration with the college-mates.For your info,this was Sze Haw and my third time in Sushi King in April. The staff there must be so tired of us.Sze Haw,Qi Vin (who Sze Haw had dragged along), Nasiha,Stephanie and I went early to book place since Jack-O and Quing-Quing had class.

The night before,I had given Sze Haw her present (YAY!!I was the first!!!). It was this vintage Coca-Cola T-shirt which she saw online and ended up not buying since the seller wouldn't give her the price she wanted. I had sneakily ordered it and wrapped it up till it was the size of a tiny bundle.I was so pleased because she wore it on her birthday. XD We waited a while for the others to arrive and there were some unexpected arrivals like Emily,Amy,Joash,Venga,Anna and Christina. the more the merrier right?? We took up two tables (even then,we had to squeeze) and I think made a lot of noise (Lively young adults...what to do???) Here's a photo compilation (as usual too lazy to upload so many):-

Joash's plate and my plate.
100% wasabi.

Looking back..it was a DUMB thing to do.It ended as a tie and we both hurled our stomachs out after we got home.I had stomach-upset for the rest of the weekend. Serves me right for getting caught up with the momentum. I-AM-STUPID. But great entertainment for the rest huh...??? =.= never mind...

Sze Haw's day of surprises was FAR from over though she didn't know it yet...Qi Vin,Abel,Amy and Jeslyn had roped me in to help them storm her room to give her a surprise. To cut a long story short...I'm so glad everything went off with minor hiccups.I'm so NOT a good actress. Well,it was funny to see Sze Haw's face.*AHAHAHAHAHAH* Here's a picture.

WE LOVE HER!!!!

--------------------------

It was such a fun day.
And this post has taken me 3 days to complete.
So much to show and tell.

I'm encountering some slight problems uploading pictures and a video from the birthday celebrations i took part in recently....
Please be patient...
I'm sorry for not uploading.

:(

Happiness....
I got my charm-bracelet. I really really love the charms which I picked out myself. Note the cute mini sewing-machine,cuckoo clock and jeweled slipper!!!!!I ordered it from this site:-

http://handmadetinythoughts.blogspot.com/

It has got some pretty cool accessories,bag charms and the like...all hand-made. The thing that makes this blog stand out (in my opinion) are the charms. Not only do they have a wide variety,most of the charms are unique and I've never seen another shop/stall/etc selling charms like theirs..

So girls,if you're interested in adding a total unique to your accessories,do take a look and feast your eyes on the cute miniatures there...and guys,ditch the 'soft-toy-for-a-girl-when-it's-her-birthday' routine and get creative.

Scary picture alert

Recently,quite a few people have commented that I look tired,my eye-bags are getting worst,my eyes have shadows underneath...you get the picture. Let me clarify something;of all the things that could have caused this..studying too much is definitely NOT the main factor.*SIGH* Can anyone recommend methods to reverse my increasing likeness to a panda/vengeful ghost/angry geek???

I'm currently in 'muse' mode...so listen to my randomness...

Oh my goodness...
Believe me when I say I'm NOT going to make 'updating-my-blog-once-a-week' a ritual. My computer and streamyx has been rebelling the whole week. Its been a nightmare.

My dad decided to reformat the computer because the hard drive was just too messed up. Years of accumulated downloaded/saved/copied/edited files,softwares and all sorts of documents were everywhere and there was this system error that kept causing the computer to restart on its own. My dad wiped the whole system clean;which meant I had to reinstall everything i.e. Mozilla,Messenger,Firewall..you get the picture.

And just as I had everything installed,I stupidly fell for this circulating virus on MSN. A reminder again,don't simply open files which are sent by your 'friend' which supposedly contains some picture of you. Anyway,the virus got into my system and slowed down the whole thing even though I did a 'search and destroy' on the whole computer. Very annoying.

Then, there seemed to be a problem with my internet connection which gave me a total headache. And just as I thought it couldn't get worst;my dad decided to get a new and bigger hard disk (or was it drive???). This explains my online absence.

As I'm typing this...I'm reinstalling all my stuff again. Windows Live Messenger is a particular problem because I don't want the latest version. I want the old version which I've been using for the past year. *sighs*

Forgive my blog neglect.
It was not intentional.
Besides,nothing much happened;except the exams are another week nearer.

*SCREAM!!!!!!*

Sorry people..
I've been really busy plus my computer went into depression (it blanked out and refused to start up) . Really sorry for the silence. My week has been totally mad AND...
This week feels like an EATING SPREE!!

Before I fill you in on my 'stuff-myself-silly' food marathon..here's a nice picture from the Good Friday service. (Lets be vain...I look horrible in the other photos *bleurgh*)

---------------------------

I got this 'buy one,free one' sms voucher thing for Sushi King from Choong Lin,who's even more of a sushi junkie then me. (If you're interested,tell me..I can send you the code too). That sms came at the perfect time. Miss Chrys was back for the week. We didn't get to do breakfast together in the customary B Gang style,so we decided to test if the sms voucher really worked.

Since it was 'buy one,free one' we didn't hesitate to grab the purple plates of sushi.
Purple plate = RM6 = most expensive
Sze Haw and I thought Chrys how to appreciate 'unagi' (eel), 'ebiko' (fish roe) and 'tako' (baby octopus). Thats basically what she agreed to try at our recommendation. She refused the yummy 'sashimi (salmon),and gagged at the sight of my lovely prawn 'tempura'.

Anyway,we ate more than RM80 worth of sushi and paid only half of the amount thanks to the voucher. Took a walk around JJ where we saw my DREAM HOODIE in MNG. And Chrys sponsored us ice-cream at McD's before we went home *YAY!!* Too lazy to upload so many pictures so I just compiled them all and uploaded them as one picture.

Pictures courtesy of Chrys's blog were I excluded some sneaky camera work of me and Sze Haw
Leave me out of the sneaky lens war you guys!!!

I went for ANOTHER sushi stuff in with Sze Haw and Nasiha (another sushi junkie...YAY!!!) and repeated pretty much the same scenes of sushi grabbing. Only,we didn't chalk up such a high bill this time. I burnt a big hole in my purse after buying the hoodie.

---------------------------

ROSEY came back!!!!
Stupid fellow attempted to surprise us but he didn't get the open mouthed,eyes popping,squealing,"XIAAAANNNNNN!!!!You're baaaaaackkkk!!!!" reaction from us. HAH!! Nice to have our rosy-posey back. And since he was groaning about wanting Ma-lai-SIA food...we dragged him out for breakfast. True B Gang style. Here's Xian finishing his 'chee cheong fun' with gusto:-

No pictures of three because Xian didn't want me in them and kept CUTTING ME OFF!!!

May Yan made one of her stunning appearances into our tranquil routines in college. Sneaked into the library with gizzard nuggets without an ID,traumatized Gerard with 'womens' talk.And out of the blue she wanted to have steamboat at 2 plus 1. 2 plus 1 is an all-you-can-eat steamboat/hotplate buffet. Only RM18.50 per head and the variety there is mouth-watering. Stingy me didn't want to go at first but thanks to my totally SUPER aunt (Sze Haw's mum sponsored both of us) we geared ourselves up for a food attack. I was dressed in t-shirt and sweatpants for a two-hour boiling and sizzling food by the road session. My mum saw me and went, "Why are you wearing your pyjamas to go out for dinner with your friends?"Talk about a knife in the heart.

I was a total carnivore.
Beef, pork, squid, chicken, fish, stingray, lamb, meatballs, fishballs and sausages went in quick succession. YUM YUM. We were all yelping while cooking the stuff on the hotplate because the oil kept spattering on out fingers. And the steam and smoke seemed to be playing a game with us. It kept blowing into each of our faces in turn and we were moving round the table like we were playing some rotating steamboat game. Mushrooms and seaweed were thrown into the pot too. There was even spaghetti served there but I didn't dare take it after eating so much meat. I settled on the cooling watermelon cubes and ice-cream for dessert. Followed by home-made mango pudding (very very YUMMY!!!).

Sze Haw whipped out the camera after we were finished and the table looked as though 6 people had just finished eating;not three. Look at the pictures and judge for yourselves. I went home feeling as if I was pregnant with food. Couldn't sleep and didn't dare drink too much water in case I spewed it all out into the toilet bowl. Its lucky I don't eat steamboat on a regular basis. I'd bankrupt the restaurant owner and die of obesity.

Nasiha left her purse in my care
and Gerard opposite me decided to get artistic with her RM notes.
Who's fantasizing?
**Oops,sorry..private joke with Nasiha.Couldn't resist. ;)
