Happy Birthday To Me~
Muahahaha! 17 years of being a blessing to everyone around me, but still they show no gratitude, hmm... Well, this year's 17th birthday sure held lots of firsts for me, so I'm gonna list them, lest I forget (which I probably won't but what if I suddenly woke up one morning with mental disorders???):
1. First birthday in Australia
2. First time eating the Aussie Burger. Symbolic somehow??? I feel like I'm in a Lahiri story about displacement and stuff. Which is why they probably chose her text, since we're overseas students...-__-
3. Read the first volume of Meru Puri, it was damn cute
4. Ate my first milky LCM. It was gorgeous! It used to be called Rice Krispies back when I was young...and now it's made a comeback, hahahaha!!!
5. Got a surprise dinner party from all my relatives at Mabrown. Awww...it was so touching, and it ALMOST succeeded in surprising me...somewhat...at the last minute. But I didn't for once expect it to happen, so there! So kind of them all...
6. First time someone has baked cookies for me Adi* :) All the sweetness of friendship... Haha I'm grossing myself out! *pats*
7. First time someone other than my Mom made lunch for me, Rach*!!! Loved the smoked salmon dear!!! *hugs*
8. First piece of birthday jewelry from Anita, so cool! The X looks THE cool on me la, thanx! ;) So you knew how chio I was from the start, haha!
9. First birthday song sung in the EB Dining Hall for me, haha! Thanks to all my other friends who were there and were not, cuz I know you'll be thinking about me all the same, about how wonderful I am and along those lines... :)
10. Thanx to Hy for specially opening that MSN window to wish me Happy B'day even though I wasn't at my com! ;)
Man, and you know what made the day sweeter? There was this kawaii little baby at the next table who wanted some of my birthday cake! So, to show how magnanimous I was, he managed to get his teeny hands on some of my chocolate cake, haha... So cute, kept looking over to our table after I posed for that psychotic shot with me holding that big metal knife and smiling like a maniac. I may even decide to put it up, haha!
Went out hunting for LCDs and Plasmas today mostly, and didn't touch any work at all, since it is sacrilegious to do work on birthdays, mine especially. So in the end my aunt bought this 42-inch Plasma. Looking forward to watching the thrid instalment of LOTR on it, it's going to be so fab! And I bought three packs of Kinder Bueno for myself as mini birthday presents, they're so much better than Kit Kat!!! X3
But to tell the truth, I would have just gone for a simple plate of Hokkien Mee for my birthday dinner, a simple meal of $3 instead of a restaurant affair (of course lah, the candles would have to be transferred to the Mee and stuck in it, how fun'd that be?). Now, I'll do anything for a takoyaki (the octopus one, but ham and cheese is fine).
After such a lovely day indeed, I am like that blown-out candle on the cake now, and I can almost qualify for that coffin part...
-space out-
I'MCRAZY!
