What a difference a second makes. I am, officially, no longer a teen. I have emerged from the digit 1 and have joined the club of the twenties! It's a bitter-sweet moment - I looked forward to it because it would mean I ORD in 5 days. Oh well, it has finally arrived but here I am scrambling desperately for ways to deal with it.

I feel old!

I always had this feeling that once you hit 20, time just whizzes pass and before you know it, you'll be 30, employed and waiting to start a family. Then, by the time your kid comes out, you'll watch it grow up and then grandchildren and *poof* off to see your maker.

Sad.

It's halloween but over here, there ain't no trick or treatin'.

Thanks to everyone who remembered and sent me a message. Lurve you all, muackz!

My grandma bought me a cake, specially ordered from someone, so it's handmade. Chocolate tiramisu. Even though she was down with diarrhoea, courtesy of real hainanese chicken rice she had in China, she went all the way there to pick it up. My grandma loves me - vice versa. I'm her first and favouritest grandson (forgive me for using bad english). What can I say? I look at my baby pictures and I cannot deny that I was the cutest little thing on earth! Sadly, I'm not that anymore. :( But I love my grandma! Thank you mama!

Grandma gave me an angbao too. It was full of Thai baht because I'm going to Thailand next month. Last year, she gave me one full of yuan because I was going to China for a holiday. Twice she said, "this is what i have left from my holiday travels. I give it all to you."

Had dinner at Lorong 8, one of my dad's favourite haunts since it's cheap - I didn't demand anything expensive lest he got pissed off. Nonetheless, the food was good, I had my favourite hot plate beancurd. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle - I LURVE beancurd.

It seems like a birthday trend. I broke a cup - I toppled it over and it fell off the table and smashed into a million pieces, spilling tea all over my beloved pumas, which are quite new. Two years back, i flipped another cup over (but didn't break it) when I was having a birthday treat (hokkien mee - like WTH) at AMK hawker centre. Seems like MY Dad doesn't like to splurge.

A friend of mine told me that he dreamt that I passed away and the class received news of my funeral. How morbid. 2 days before my birthday. How foreboding. Thunder, lighting, pathetic fallacy anyone (Is that how you use that term, I've totally forgotten)?

Cut cake


my beloved grandma who bought me the cake

Me sis suggested I act cute - not to my dad though...

The 3 shot mode - Nice/Not so nice/literally uuhh-ggly

That's why there're 3 shots, choose the best ;)

I have nothing else to say.

I am speechless.

Channel 8 Drama

This happened some 5 minutes ago when my dad, sis and I were watching the final episode of the 9.00pm drama on channel 8.

Thomas Ong proposes to Ivy Lee. Obviously, he does so with a ring.

Dad: Aiyoh, so small (referring to the diamond)!

Me: It's not as if the one you bought mom was very big.

Sis: Haha, loser!

Oops. I'm such a bitch. Haha.

The air is killing me. I understand the need to slash and burn, but on this scale?! My throat is dry, the air is polluted, how bad can it get? And say, what if I go to Thailand and end up choking on smog?

I'm came up with the "sappy" idea this week. A friend of mine was planning a birthday celebration for his beloved and was thinking of doing up a puzzle. He asked me for advice. He had planned everything from dinner to candles - the works. Whilst discussing the no. of pieces etc. an idea struck me.

My Romantic Recipe

1. Finish the puzzle but leave one piece out.
2. Put that one piece in a small box, perhaps the kind of tiff and co. ring boxes. (don't use that one though, receipient might think it's a ring from tiff and co.!)
3. After dinner, present the gift.
4. Receipient opens and questions, "A puzzle piece?" (Obviously he/she knows what his/her birthday gift is...)
5. Bring out the unfinished puzzle and say, "This puzzle is like my love for you, but without you, it's incomplete."
6. Invite person to place in the final piece.
7. Reveal the reverse side of the puzzle, which has a love poem/song/letter written at the back.
8. Serenade/read out the message.
9. Request person to put his/her initials down, next to yours.
10. Place the finish puzzle in a frame.
11. Say, "This message for you, is between you and me. That makes it all the more special."
12. Watch and enjoy seeing the person melt into your arms.
13. Enjoy the night. ;)

I'm amazed at the things I come up with. I am such a romantic.

Happieee! I'm so happiee! I'm going to be free!
