omg! i've got so much blog-able materials that i don't know which one to start! -_-''
for a quick warm-up, i shall just begin with something short and sweet.
MAY - the month of birthday boys and girlsoh gosh. it's just the start of may and i've celebrated THREE 21st birthdays - for koh, jeraldine and chua. the parties were fun and delectable.. ha.
*jeraldine'sthe tkgirls were EXTREMELY early for jeraldine's party. in fact, i think we came before 1400, which was the stated time. and this is highly unusual for the tkgirls.. ha. mini drama happened because mingshu arranged the usual latecomers to meet at 1230, and the rest at 1300. but the rest, which included me, came later than 1300. lol. so poor ivy who came at 1230 sharp almost turned into a fossil waiting for us.. oops. but we were still so early! ha.
the party was like an excuse for tkgirls/old & current classmates gathering. i forgot how long ago since i last saw siqing, kaikhim and jessica. so the feeling is great, as if nothing much is changed. :)
then the usual party phenomenon starts - very obvious inner circles dispersed in the party area. but people like the birthday girl, poh, "FS" group, huiting & puay yee did make the effort to mingle. other than that our clique was busy buzzing about boyfriends, school and other random stuff. which was so usual. lol. ha. i really miss this kind of small talks. we can just go on and on, take a short break, and talk again. endless topics :) i like it! woohoo~
anyway, jeraldine has so many friends eh! she invited 50 people if i'm not wrong.. and it's considered to be exclusive invite le eh. so just imagine her network of friends. plus the turn-out rate was good. then i thought,
if i had a birthday party, who'd turn up? not many, or none, i guess.. since my birthday always falls on EXAMINATION PERIOD. sigh. so no party for me i guess =(
after jeraldine's party, i moved on to hui min's.
*hui min'si went to chua's birthday party initially with an obligatory mind. main reason is because the people i knew, which includes the birthday girl, are not
that close with me.. i was afraid to be the odd one out. besides, chua's party theme is
BARBIE & KEN. how on earth am i going to dress like Barbie?! ha.. nonetheless i went, after much persuasion by zhenhui and some thinking through that it might not be nice to
pangseh.chua's party was held in some safra resort in tanah merah. the environment is great, albeit being real
ulu-ated (it was so
ulu that my handphone kept getting INDONESIA's network!). and chua was so excited to see me! lol. at least that was what i thought.. so phew, at least i felt more at ease.
then i played friendly
MAHJONG (meaning, no chips involved) with chua's friends + family! and it helps because the table of us are all rather amateur with the game. nonetheless, i got qing yi se + dui dui hu for the first round! lol! so happy~ :)and mahjong really works wonders ok. it is such a great social game! you don't have to know each other beforehand and the group can just sit together and start playing! so that helps again to make me feel less isolated. haha.
zhenhui and shihui were learning mahjong on the spot! and they got so addicted~ :)
and i was saying the safra resort place is sooo
ulu-ated. yes that kind you have to take a SHUTTLE BUS into the place. and the bus comes and leaves ON TIME! urgh. we missed the shuttle bus just by that MINUTE ok?! all we could do is to see the bus leaving before our eyes. gah.

all in all, i had 2 slices of chocolatey birthday cakes; great parties and loads of fun! have a glamourous 21st, girls :)
p.s. sorry, this is not a short post after all. :)
(POST NOTE: My self-proclaimed manager, Mr Liu, is mad at me for not dedicating an entry for his birthday. Sigh, he already has all the lovebirds to celebrate with him what *his birthday falls on 14 Feb.. LOL. So here's to you, Mr Liu.. For the super late.. HAPPY 21st! =D )
