it's never enough

i truly felt loved and appreciated today by groups of wonderful pals i have made.

S14 - the day started off very well. i managed to wake up on time and was ready to walk to pear's house by 10am. to my horror, i waited for the signal to start moving off for almost an hour. jess was late was what goi told me. i was thinking why on earth did this woman need an hour to get to clementi from bukit panjang? anyway, when i opened the door, i was shocked to see hq. i thought what was he doing at my door step? the only possibility i could think of was he had lost his way, didnt know how to get to pear's house and he has a fantastic memory because it has been almost a year since he last came to my house for cny house visiting. suddenly, the rest jumped into the picture and i saw candles. yeah!!!! so happy... i was touched when they told me goi and eileen woke up at 5am to make the cheesecake for me. pear went to search for the receipe online. they had to make the cake by themselves because no cake shop was opened during the cny period. and HQ for scouting available cake shops. the funniest part was the class alighted at the wrong bus stop and had to walk all the way from 2 bus stops away from the central to my house. it was freaking hot so i could imagine the amount of sweat and tears you guys had shed. the cheesecake was yummy. rmb to teach me when we meet up soon okay? maybe we can do that during one of the 3rd sats of every months. =)

KNS - left around 6 plus and met KNS at orchard for dinner at coffee club in kino because my dearest liting was working there on my birthday. =( as usual, we started taking ugly and decent photos. we forced pee to take a ugly shot because she has none in our memories. laughing at jiefang's weird triple eyelids. i love their present, esp our KNS photos and the last one. haha.. they know me so well. i guess i will have to look through all the photos and place more attention to the last one. you know, leave the best till the last. haha.. dont worry. i still love you all always! after having a heavy and my first decent meal of the day, we went to mache to try their cocktails. didnt really enjoy the drinks. the alcoholic content wasnt very high but it got our woon a little tipsy. she was laughing at everything whenever lydia spoke and had difficluties walking in a straight line. after qipei left, we went to one of the pubs at chijmes and started drinking again. lydia, jiefang and i secretly hid one of the glass - holy smoke from woon because we knew that if she drank that, she would definitely knock out on the spot. there was whiskey in that drink so that's not for the wanna be drunkard woon. there was a live band inside the pub and they rock. one of the guitarists' vocal was good. the atmosphere was great if we neglect the slightly smoky smell when we were about to leave the place. other than that, it is a place that is worth visiting again. =)

came home late and time check - 0208. i am supposed to wake up in the morning at 7 to go to work. what a depressing thought. i am still in the holiday mood, not ready to work my butt off yet. hopefully my boss will be kind enough to give us a earlier knock off time tmr, which is highly impossible. stop day dreaming!!!! i will have to look after to the weekends and after work for the next few months because there isnt any public holidays in feb and march. the next public holiday is only in april. that sounds so far away right? so everyone out there, please meet during weekends or after work okay? i dont want my life to revolve around my work only before i go bonkers.

FAMILY - it is the cny period so it's time to spend with family and my relatives whom i will only meet yearly. my family did not gamble when we went on house visiting. we just sat around and talked about everything. i drank a lot during these 3 days. the red wine after my reunion dinner, draught beer with my dad and visited a pub on my birthday. oh my!!! i should refrain from drinking for the next few weeks or maybe months. i am not a alcoholic anyway. i was close to tears when i knew my dad actually walked the entire clementi central on the eve of my birthday to look for a opened cake shop. he does not bother about my birthday in the past. he only treated the family to dinner on my birthday. he never bothered himself about getting a birthday cake for me. it was always my mum who would prepare or buy the cake for me. it is just not his norm. my mum willingly volunteered to bake a cake for me instead. the cake was yummy. that should be my breakfast for the next few days because i am sick of having bread with peanut butter.

i want to thank you everyone for the effort in planning these wonderful birthday surprises. i know it's hard and sometimes frustating to organise such event. i truly appreciate all your efforts. i promise i will love you all more and treasure our friendships. thanks for all the sms birthday wishes too!!! i still have them in my hp although my memory is 95% full. i cant bear to delete them all. haha.. when do i become a sentimental person? i am officially 19-years-old. be a more sensible person. i am already a big big girl. i should try to maintain my clean record. i hope it is not too hard to kick the habit. i have been a good girl since cny. =) be a happy and healthy girl!

"i feel blessed"
