A Reason to Party!
Yup, and the reason is you. Or rather me. Time is catching up. I'm now a year older yet still too playful to want to grow up. Well as usual, nothing exciting happened on my birthday BUT did had a wonderful time before.

24 March 2006 (Friday)

24th is actually Meixia and Boon's birthday. Can't believe we've known each other for almost 10 years. Wow. Though we don't meet up often, everytime we meet up is always full of fun and laughter. Went for Sakura buffet with Xia and Szeming, Boon, Shirley and qiwei, Shirin and boyfriend. Was joking, playing eating and having fun that I almost seemed like our old days when we went to school early to practically slack around, well, eating playing and joking. Glad to have these friends for the past decade (well, almost a decade). We have seen each other grown, got hurt, supported each other along the way. We shared our joy, sadness and many more.

Went out with the OCT bros. Had a tough time, suppose to be a small dinner gathering. Well, end up rather nicely. Went to Ivan's for sing song session before meeting the rest for dinner at Auntie Teresa's Buddy Hoagies. As usual, the police timing thingy kicked in. At least ma, Ivan and Jon were entertained by FRC attending to some case at the station. Was late when we made our way there and arrive just in time to see some family take our RESERVED table. Thank God Auntie Teresa was there to help. Had our table back and waited for the rest to appear. At around an hour after the designated meeting time, Alec and Ning, Momo, and Wayne arrived (in that order). Dinner was WONDERFUL. Felt a little bad for Auntie Teresa to serve us personally at the table. I bet they never thought (other than Alec and Ning who had been there before) it was self-service (sort of). Original plan was to sit there and chill and slack but due end up leaving rather early. Couldn't decide where to go so went home. On the way home, Xiao Ming called (what a coincidence) and end up in Cheverons for KTVing. Wayne was there up no room so end up at Kbox Jurong East. Wayne didnt go Kbox so it was Me, Xiao Ming, Kent and Wei Jia (Xiao ming's Swiss senior). Had a wonderful time.

A rest and relax day to recoperate from last night's KTV. Spent the afternoon reading my book. Met up with Alec and Ning for movie, Transamerica, in town. Not a bad movie with a lot of references. A good thesis or paper material. Watched it at Cineleisure, the MAX thingy thing thing level. Before that, I went a little early to collect the tix and arrived at the 5th level to find the counters closed. So went to the Kbox level and was directed to level 9 because "the last movie for this level has started" So went up to level 9 which only had ONE counter opened. Called Alec to hurry up cause when queueing up to collect, was surrounded by gays and trannies, kinda freaky considering we're watching Transamerica. Finally, it was my turn to collect and i was served by 3 trainees (ONLY) They swipe my card and stuff and asked me if i wanted to pay by cash or card. I was like ["] ? thought booking sure use card so nevermind i said card and they took out a calculater to figure out how much i had to pay. I was like!!! isnt it on the screen? Nevermind, bought a family combo, got my popcorn and waiting for the last of my two drinks when someone asked the trainee serving me to do something. The Trainee actually LEFT my last drink like somewhere on the counter (it wasn't passed to me) with the cover half closed. I was like !?!??! Damn freak up service.

After the movie, figured that the Level 9 is a nice play to chill but could be achieved at anyone's place with any console game, a wide TV and lots of DVDs. Missed our last bus and stuff so Alec decided to explore around (Ning was surprised that NYDC was close) [Writer's Note: MUahhahahahahahaha] so walked down to check out the new Cathay PictureHouse. Kinda nice but a little plain on the outside. Went further down to explore SMU. Its a nice place but i figure will get lost easier than other campus. Finally went down to CHIJMES and back home. Had a great time bumping around.

Woke up rather early due to habit and realize I'm ON LEAVE!! Yeah. Received my usual bombardment of sms blessings from my friends. Was surprised that manager sms'ed. Alec and Ning were the first to remind me of my "old-ness" since the movie ended around 12. Slacked the whole day at home, downloading stuff for the world's slowest ibook, mine. Well, back to work again tomorrow.

That's my birthday break for those who are interested to know. Thank you guys for making it such a wonderful time. Thank God for blessing me with you guys.
