the birthday celebrations started at the stroke of midnight with celest and the cell sneakily procuring a humongous blueberry cheesecake at the cafe where we were having 'supper' after cell.. was pleasantly surprised with the really sweet card and rose.. (: however, this was only surprise no. 1!
after the cheesecake, which made me extremely full and even more sleepy.. i went home, cos i cldn't reach jess and the rest, only to find them lying in wait for me! in my apartment! with streamers and party poppers and cake and party hats etc, etc. haha! was really really shocked.. and i learnt later that sneaky liane told everybody not to anwser my phonecalls at all so that i'll have to go home.. how mean is that! but i was really really touched to see so many ppl there! even drunk glenn managed to make his appearance.. and the 'banners' and birthday msges everyone wrote were great!
when the excitment died down and most of them had gone home, jess suddenly told liane and i to follow him.at first we thought he wanted to bitch abt a certain person.. then we thought he was sad.. then we thought he just wanted to go downstairs and smoke.. and then we were clueless.. he made us follow him and then he suddenly stopped and unlocked a car!he'd collected his car without us even knowing la! so he brought us for a spin and that's how the night ended.. (:
woke up really late and lazed around at home w liane before collecting a 'package'.. a really really fabulous bunch of flowers! all the way from sg.. it was lovely! (:
had a fantastic brunch w my sis at richmond.. yummy pancakes and ceasar salad and poached eggs on toast.. and she gave me a bean bag.. just without the beans! haha.. wanted dinner w just jess, alex and liane.. and we went through quite alot of trouble to achieve that.. haha! anw we headed down to st kilda's and had wonderful dory and snapper fish.. yummy yummy.. and that's how my birthday ended.. just the way i like it, a quiet dinner w just the closest of close friends.. the people who were with me throughout all my ups and downs in aussie.. (:
u know, i expected my birthday to be a quiet affair.. cos i didn't think it was a big deal.. but the celebrations and surprises were a nice addition to it all..
to mummy, twin, jo p, jude and mark: thanks for the wonderful birthday msges and call! (: it made me happy. really.
to liane: thanks so so much for making this birthday oh so memorable! u got me on this one babe!
to jess, alex, glenn, faiz, irene, hanna, zian, chris, derrick, brian, yohannes (sprry if i missed out anybody): this birthday, and whatever liane planned, was made possible with u guys.. was really really great to see all of u cramped in my lil apartment yet going all out to celebrate w me.. really really appreciate it.. (:
to celest, sarah, jolene, isaac, patrick and the rest of the cell: thx so much for the surprise and the blueberry cheese cake and card and rose..really didn't expect u guys to go to so much trouble for my birthday.. (:
p/s: birthday photos will be uploaded soon.. (: stir (: - 5:49 PM.
sometimes i wonder why some people must always have friends around them.
i just spent the whole day, well almost the whole day, alone at home and i wasn't bored or lonely at all.
some may argue that i have the internet and the tv and the radio and the phone.
and yeah, i did make use of what i've got.
but sometimes i feel that its only when u're alone that u'll learn the most about yourself.
sure, i miss being in the company of my close friends, eugenia, clara, jude, etc etc.
but i just love staying alone. (:
i just had to say that out 'loud' to everybody. haha.
i got a package today.
with a lovely card inside that's long overdue.
it made me smile and made me tear.
it made me laugh at myself even.
rereading it numerous times just made me smile and tear and laugh even more.
and someday, we'll have our day.
and nobody can take that away.

i trust you. (:
