Long lost update for my 21st!
May 14, 2012
Hola!
I feel guilty for abandoning this blog of mine ever since.. The last crappy post (which isn't a proper post at all). So, initially, I wanted to post about my birthday celebration which is almost 1.5months ago but I was just lazy to prepare a post for it. Too many things to be jotted down and exams were just around the corner, thus, the excuses for not updating the blog. Right now, maybe I shall clear the debts and compose a really long post for you guys? HAHA, we shall see how much can I type and how many readers will finish reading my post.
Guestbook for 31st made by Shini.
Birthday board made by Jerine & wishes filled by the uni clique!
Let's start with my 21st birthday parties!
On the 30th March, it was a Friday and I had my first 21st birthday party back home in Malaysia. The attendees consisted of my mom's old friends, dad's friends, some relatives and cousins, and the only friend attended it was Shini (since she was helping me out with my party in Singapore the next day). My mom did all the catering, inviting, cleaning up the house and preparing everything together with my aunt who stays under the same roof as us. It was supposed to be in restaurant, like maybe reserving a few tables and invite relatives but to think of it, there would always be an AWKWARD moment during birthday party. Yes, it is during the time when people start to sing you the birthday songs and you have zero idea where to look at. Also, my dad doesn't fancy restaurant food so I told my mom we would just held one simple party back at home.
Tadaah!
This is my mom.
Yup, there were 2 cakes, one of it was ordered by my relative, the crepe cake. It was really made by layers of crepe and it tasted really awesome. The other one was the jelly cake my mom ordered from a friend of hers, in a shape of sheep 'cos my zodiac is a sheepish sheep/goat. So anyhow, it was more of a "reason to gather everyone & have catch-up with everybody" kinda party 'cos... Most of the time I was back in the house, playing with my cousins and watching TV and the rest of the adults would be drinking beers, talking away... Well, it's always good to have a gathering once in awhile but people are just lazy to plan a gathering like this. From the cleaning of house to the logistics, catering and whatnot.
Angpows I received!
It's all gone by now actually, I just gave them to my mom on Saturday.
The awesome key.
It's from my parents' friends.
After the end of the party, I did help to sweep the floor in the living room and... Shini said she prefers mopping so................. It was finally the time we agreed to work together. TEAMWORK - as Shini has always wanted with me. If you get what I mean. Hiak hiak.
Bam! It was 12mn and this marked the actual birthday of mine!
(Even though I was born in the afternoon at 2pm - If I remember correctly but who cares, right!) So, wishes started flowing in via various media platforms, twitters, Facebook, SMS-es, BBM and Whatsapp... Thank you all for the well-wishes, it's just too many to thank but I had thanked and replied each and everyone of you on Facebook but I do have a list of people who texted me though, it's still in my Blackberry and they are... Weiloon, Eugene, Eileen Soh, Benjamin Loong, Felicia Chua, Veronica Chong, Nicholas Toh, Shi Yee, Zhuxin, Yutai, Timothy Chua, Michelle Ng, Zhelin (my fucking BFF), Matthew Yee, Wei Lun, Jason Lim, Hadi (SPA), Mark Lim, Edwin. If anyone of you did text me but is not mentioned, I'm sorry but my Blackberry is clearing text messages on its own, even whatsapp too.
So, birthday celebration part 2!
We (Shini & I kinda... Overslept by a little) finally get ready and headed to Singapore! Shini headed home to get some stuffs while I met with Edwin at kranji and waited for Shini. Edwin then passed me my birthday present from SPA, an Adidas windbreaker and a week or so later, he then passed me a $50 F21 voucher from the money leftover for the windbreaker. Thanks peeps, Thomas, Eugene, Yutai, Weiloon, Shini, Felicia, Jiayao, Veronica, Janice, Amanda, Vincent, Pang Chuen, Ghazali, Afiq, Alvin, Edwin, Eileen, Junwei, Shihui, Xiao Ming.
Oh yes, I met up with Edwin, took the train (we thought Shini was in it) and headed to Ion to collect my awesome rum and cherry AWFULLY chocolate cake! The time in between was horrendous, I was left at the eating area alone while waiting for Edwin & Shini to do something sneaky. In the end, Edwin went to get 3 flowers for me, my best junior forever is so sweet right!
Thereeeeee, hahahaha.
Flowers still sitting in my bag.
Next, we took some bus to Marine Parade and me up with my 2nd bitch, Zhuxin who came earlier to help out for the party! We then cab to the chalet and that was the first time I went for a chalet after a whole good 2 years man. Seriously... Yet, the chalet had to be so of a low quality but only could blame ourselves (Shini & I) for a last minute party and almost all other chalets were booked for that weekend. Thomas could be another witness too 'cos he was helping us to check out available slots too.
Anyhow, here are some of the pictures!
Pre-celebration photos.
The 3 lovelies who came over to help!
LOL ANYWAY, while the 2 girls were helping out the celebration, Edwin accompanied me to withdraw money but the damned ECP was having renovation and after walked so damn bloody far, for about a few KMs, the only POSB ATM was down. I swear I was going mad and I thought it was quite near so we didn't rent bikes but sigh, should have listened to Edwin. We succumbed to the weather and took a break at Burger King for Ice Cream and Sundae. Too hot to walk and too far to go. HAHA, that journey was epically ridiculously far and scorching hot but we had made it through....
More or less, everything was done, caterer came and set up and the food was omfgareyoukiddingme.jpg. LOL, I ordered for 30 pax, nuggets came in less than 30 pieces, the fried rice and vege were motherfather lots but they said the chicken curry was nice. I didn't eat much but had tried some and I hope, it didn't disappoint the rest like how it disppointed me.... LOLOL, just not as what I thought it would be.

ANNJAY'S 21ST!
(Click on it, it will open in a new window)
Photos were taken by Param, my SP friend whom I met during the LTC trip to Ipoh and he was from SP photography club! :> Thank you very much, Param! Despite only knowing less than 5 of us there, he still came down but made new awesome friends from SPA who stayed overnight or quite late that night, during the drinking session. :D
There were quite a lot attended, my netball juniors, Weiting, Warda and Izzati who arrived on the dot when I was not even fully prepared and they are still as funny as usual! Missed them so much and thanks for the present, a Porter pouch from Weiting, a perfume from Warda, Izzati and Arianah.
SPA peeps, such as... Edwin, Eileen, Daron, Junwei, Alvin, Amanda, Pang Chuen, Jianwei, Thomas, Eugene, Veronica, Weiloon, Jiayao, Felicia, CS, Ghazali & Kaien. Thanks Eileen for the luxury truffle chocolates and also, another FCUK perfume from Junwei! Thanks Veronica for the hand-sewn polka dots pouch! Thanks Brudder Jianwei and Kaien for the perfume too. I've got 3 perfumes for my birthday, am I that... Smelly? O.O
Thank you Roy, for the omfgsuperchioandexquisite birthday card you've made for me. I didn't know a guy could make such awesome card man! Thanks for traveling all the way from NTU to ECP despite your hectic curriculum and many many quizzes to attend.
The awesomest birthday card ever!
Also, Jason, Violet and Felicia (the same Felicia, just that through her, I get to know many other friends) for attending the party and also, the Sennheiser earpiece. All the best for your remaining papers in UOL! :>
Thanks Zaroq for all the stupid idea on how to get me horrendously dirtied but failed badly LOL. All your effort in drawing the graffiti of my name, the sexy bikini from Billabong you bought for me and also, the watch from Fossil. You spent way too much mannnnn but awesome friend is awesome, you dark chocolate.
Thank you Faez for dropping by and getting cake smashed by others and thanks for smashing me with the cake too. Seriously... Whole night I smelled like cake, after one time, comes the 2nd and 3rd time!
Thank you to my brothers, who gave me angpows and big bro for staying over and played those weird drinking games with us! All the games he introduced can make you roflmaottmuntilyouforgetwhoyouare. LOLOL, my big bro is superb but sometimes just a little annoying and he came back on Saturday for Mother's day celebration and I missed him so much!
Almost all the presents!
& another one Timbuk2 Tote bag from Uni clique!
Anyhow, actually the limelight of the night was not me. It was Edwin who got so drunk and did all sort of nonsensical stuffs, nearly went to the chalet next door and party-popped the party popper towards them. Thank goodness, Jiayao pulled him back and no one could make him went upstairs for a sleep, he kept claiming for more vodka. LOL, not my fault, the guys were making him drink outside the chalet and his face was all red. It's a little impossible to describe everything here on what happened to him but god, it's really an unforgettable night and he couldn't remember anything the next day.
So, this post concludes how I spent my 21st birthday. It has filled up almost the entire webpage so I guess... I shall blog about some other stuffs next time. Such a joke when I intended to blog everything in one post but it seems so impossible and cramped. HEHE, till then!!
Xx,
annjay
