I had the
BEST BIRTHDAY EVER this year. Thanks to Conie, Madeline, Marina, Gin, Chian Ur, Magdalene, Wendy, and last but not least my
brother. (Yeah. Weird. =S) I love you guys :)
O yea, and Cheng Haw. He came too. :)
So here's the story...
On weds, i got mail from Sheila (a really pretty card) and my Sis (a handmade bookmark and the cutest cherry necklace)
That night, at 11:30pm Conie called me. She told me to go downstairs and check my mailbox... ><
Then at midnight my sis called and she was so excited cuz she beat my mum to it... =.=" But i ended up just chatting with mum on msn.
Then throughout the night and the following day i got a bunch of sms-es from friends and family... i realised its a good way to get numbers. A few people msg-ed me and i realised i dont have their numbers. so im like "Thanks!! by the way, who is this?? =S" *embarassed*
So anyway, thanks to: Jas Min, Michelle, Maebel, Desmond, Unc. Henry, Sook Mun, Sheila, Alwyn.
I woke up at 9:30am cuz i thought my class started at 11. then i realised that my class starts at 10! SO. rushed through shower, skipped breakfast, and got to class just on time. After class at 11am, i met Wendy and she presented me with.... TIRAMISU! Then Wendy and I went to Rundle Spices for lunch. Kind of glad i didnt have breakfast because the lunch portion was massive! (oh no! i just realised i didnt take a picture with wendy... :( )
I had 3 hours of prac after that during which i felt like crying cuz it was SO Frustrating and we were getting no where, and im really annoyed that we're doing so many things in groups this year. Anyway... so after class, I thought i'd stop by the computer pool for a while to check my unimail because its a necessity to check that everyday! But conie called and she said she wanted ice cream from my house... (she left some cornetto drumsticks in my fridge cuz hers didnt fit...) so.., well... ok. i said i'll be back in a while.
So a while later i went home.
And when i opened the door...
I HAD THE BIGGEST FRIGHT OF MY LIFE!
Well, not really. That was just me being dramatic. :) But it was surprising.
I probably shouted "what the hell!" pretty loudly (im sorry!) but I'm sure you would too if a bunch of party poppers popped and it was dark but there were human figures laughing and singing happy birthday to you with a pretty cake in the middle- IN YOUR HOUSE!
And then i tried blowing out the candles and they didn't go out... I was so expecting that. Conie was so happy when i was going to blow them out i suspected something. ok. so that was onlt only thing i suspected. The entire party- Completely CLUELESS. (now i feel so silly cuz i was telling my brother about my 'plans' ><)
I thought i was going to have pasta at Scoozi for dinner. I was actually quite looking forward to that. But nothing beats being scared out of your skin, enjoying KFC chicken, home cooked half-instant pasta (haha.. :P), snacks, cake, champagne, and tiramisu with a bunch of your friends. :) So... since that happened very early at like.. 4:30pm... we had a long night. We had a long gossip session and some girl talk (which cheng haw and my bro didn't appreciate i believe...), a balloon fight (if that makes any sense)- i mean, we all know we're ageing... why not forget about that for a while and be kids again. balloons are fun :) ate, ate and ate... and talked. and ate and talked. yep. that what life is about.
So at about 9:30pm, Chian ur, cheng haw, madeline, gin and magdalene had to leave. So Marina, Conie and I headed to PJ O'Brien's which happened to have Ladies Night in conjunction with Unilife's UThursdays thingie... and drinks were $1(9-10pm), $2(10-11pm) and $3(11-12am) HOW COOL IS THAT. So we went, had some drinks, tried talking and failed miserably cuz the music was too loud... so we danced! Dancing is the best thing ever. I wonder how people came up with such a thing as dance. Its the strangest thing. But it makes people happy :)
Clubbing at PJ's was quite an experience. Lets just say... there were some interesting people around. :)
All in all I had FUN night. THANK YOU once again to everyone who helped organise it and showed up and a special thanks to CONIE THE BUNNY! i love you! <3>
(1 thing we forgot to do- TAKE A GROUP PICTURE! Oh well...)

And cut:
In terms of the taste… this one should have tasted better than my first time cooking it because I finally used ham and swiss cheese as the recipe said to. The first time I used bacon and tasty cheddar. Well, we have to make do of what we have right? :) Oh, i also made the breadcrumbs from my old bread! (This time round, it was bought breadcrumbs) Anyway, personally, I think the first time was nicer because the swiss cheese is a bit too strong for my liking. (now I’ve got extra cheese in the fridge and I don’t know what to do with it >< I could make that thing one more time…)
I was also being very greedy the day before that so I tried making something called ‘buckeyes’. I found the recipe in one of those food blogs that if you haven’t yet noticed- I’ve added to my list of links. I cut down the recipe by about 20 times and made just ONE buckeye. Peanut butter buckeye:
Not very successful (I couldn’t wait for it to cool enough so it was rpretty soft... ><), very unhealthy, but SUPER YUMMY. Well… can’t go wrong when all the ingredients are yummy right? :)
