my splendid 22nd

once again..i've got LOTS to pic-blog abt..but NO TIME! NO TIME! =(
where shall i start..for the month of june, of cos my bday was the highlight! hahaha...so yes, i'm really thankful for all those around me, for all the well wishes, for all the surprises and the "attempted-surprise". In simple words, thanks for remembering =)

family:
celebrated my 22nd at morton's. i love their steaks! they serve REAL medium-rares...
right..servings were HUGE and great-tasting. i think it's worth it cos quality and quantity(definitely) guaranteed! a HUGE thank you to pops for paying for the dinner. i know the cost was HUGE too. hahaaa BIG thank you to tayapi for planning such a pleasant surprise! i really thought it was just a catching up session with you guys. and ya, your acting skills are good..you actually looked like you were gg to puke from eating all that pizza! also to jane and anshu, thanks for taking time out to celebrate my bday. it was a very enjoyable dinner even though i know, y'all (i meant jane and yiping) were so tired from all the boring research at A-star. and to anshu, thanks for always adding fun and laughter to all our dinners..great to have met up with you this hol.
THANKS for the vivocity vouchers. I'LL DEFINITELY BE USING THEM! I LOVE VIVO. lol

my bday at Astar ICES. omgoshh..it was very different cos my friends (zhixiong and jiahui) celebrated it with me at the only cafe(or shld i just say, canteen) in the building. AND zhixiong, being the ever-creative guy, full of original ideas(and crappy jokes), he got a slice of chocolate cake from the coffee club and LESS-THAN-HALF a bottle of CHARDONNAY. hahaha it was what he used to cook our pasta lunch a few days before. but i must say, it was really nice of him to "plan" all that, esp when we've only been friends for 3 weeks plus. i guess it's our level of crappiness...haha..oh ya, and he made me pose with the empty box and bottle!
hmm..how could i not have taken any pic with both of them...=(
clarwuuu! this year, your acting skills have improved tremendously! i actually fell for your tunglok trick!!!!!! how could youu..
to all who don't know, this guy kept telling me we're gg to somewhere but it's a secret..so ok...i didn't try to ask more. but when he picked me up from home, he said we were gg to vivocity. yes, vivocity??????? for a bday???? it's so not special!! of cos, i didn't say all that..i just said okayyy..
to make things worse, he said he booked tunglok (the chinese restaurant). like, hellooo...tunglok dim sum for dinner??!?!? and that day, i just had that for lunch..! so i HAD TO say NOOO...i can't eat that again...we've got to go to town or somewhere. well, guess what he said..he just replied, huhhh~~~and he still went to turn into vivo..at that point, i was like, whatever...
making it part of his act, he turned wrongly into the taxi stand instead of the carpark..! and he went, AIYAA...
i just stared at him.
then he laughed at me for believing his soo-believable story! and threw a piece A4 paper onto my lap. it was a receipt. he.booked.sky.dining.dinner.in.the.cable.car.
that's something i've never ever wanted to do! i'm totally bothered by the toilet issues..what if i've got to shit/pee/even worse, LS?????? but he's alr booked and paid for it.
so yeah..i gave it a chance.
well, it wasn't as bad as i thought. in fact, i enjoyed it very much. thank you sooo much! i had lotsa fun during that 90 mins in the cable car.
it was a friday evening! i was the organiser. and i just wanted a dinner with the gipeeps, just for fun cos i wanted to eat at liangkee...i was happy enough just by meetin up with them but being so sweet, clar got kelly to buy a cake and he made it bday dinner for me. thank you once again =)
but urghh...what's new, whenever a surprise is planned with the gipeeps, it's no longer a surprise. haha...anyway, thanks to all for the attempted surprise!
and i thought the ice cream cake from island creamery was really pretty! thanks, kelly! being the usual chillers, dylan clar and i decided to head to fashion bar for some drinks. kelly had sth on so it was only the 3 of us.2 cosmos and a carlsberg please...hahaha dylan was all crazy abt sex and the city. so that explains our cosmopolitans...my babes! those who have never forgotten my bday =) thanks girls!
one of them said that the pic below looks like we're in heaven.hahaha reminds me of that we're in heaven techno song. but the quality of the pics aren't good cos MY CAMERA'S DYING! it's spoiled...i think i've been using it too much..but i can't help it!!had lunch at sushi tei..and our lunch extended till 5pm???and to jinny! don't feel awful ok...thanks for coming out even though you had so much to do before flying to india...although the dinner was short, i had fun just listening to you and dylan talk throughout the whole dinner..hahaha. you've got to send me those pics once you come back..which i think it's not that soon, considering how you're gg to fly to vietnam right after touching down and then to taiway. you're really a globe trotter (As your nick says)..

i enjoyed my one week long bday. thanks to ALL OF YOU. =)

i still have a LIFE.

my blog is dyinggg...i know!
it's difficult to blog so often especially when i'm doing my attachment..cos at work, i'm facing the computer for hours..and when i get back, i'm still facing the com (mainly to chat since it's not allowed at work)..hmm..that didn't sound very right. i mean, yes, i still switch on my com when i come back home. but i don't stay online long enough to blog and upload pics. yeah..the uploading of pics is the time-consuming factor.
anyway, just thought of updating the blog since i've nothing much to do now..till church.

so as mentioned, i'm currently doing my attachment at jurong island! omgosh, jurong island..somewhere i'll never ever choose to work at.(but i had no choice this time...) and it's research work at astar...again, something i'll never ever choose to do. well, since it's not interesting at all, i shall skip that topic.
moving on....

i'm so glad that i've still been meeting up with all my friends despite the attachment. i thought my life would get boring once work starts. but no, i think my life's still filled with excitement..! hahaha....it's impossible to talk about every gathering i've had since i came back from vietnam (fyi, i started work 3-4 days after coming back). shall just post pics since outings are all abt taking pictures while bonding! won't that make the walk down memory lane more effective..? =)
