Haha. I received my FIRST not to mention earliest Birthday present already. Considering my birthday is way in May, this is definitely a very early present. 

And onto a more solemn note. 

Shu Yen, my co-blogger is soon to be leaving. 

The clock is ticking. The minute-hand, hour-hand of the clock is moving as if it were seconds. 

The more times that fact hits me, the more times long-gone sweet memories flash by. 

Farewell. 

May our friendship forever reside in your fondest memories. 

~I'll miss you~

I watched a movie today. 

Yea. Besides the fact that everyone else has started college, there is absolutely nothing new in my life. 

On the eve of my bday - me, jay, ruei pern, keat tong joined phil at the mamak coz he just got back from uk and was hungry.. sat there until the start of my birthday wheee.. jay and rp kept asking me to go somewhere n to call ppl.. on the way back, the 4 of them lowered the windscreens and starting shouting the happy birthday song out the window.. haha.. thanks for the nice yet freaking embarassing gesture guys ><

the morning of my bday, ruei pern asked me to go early bowling at kp.. didnt really bother for awhile coz i was really sleepy.. then him and phil kept on messaging me to get up and go bowling.. suddenly sean out of nowhere called and said hes joining us aswell.. which was quite unusual since he's never joined us much..

ok then nvm.. sean said he was hungry so we went for breakfast at station 1.. supposedly 'waited' for vhimal who was 'still' at the school while eating.. vhimal said he'll take awhile so we went kp.. i wanted to play pool but the guys insisted on bowling.. while bowling the first game i didnt notice rp sneak off with his phone.. halfway through he said he wanted to top up and play another game.. ok.. then after bowling they say wanna go play daytona.. hung at the arcade for awhile till jay called rp telling him he was back from his 'brunch with relatives from singapore'.. ask us to pick him up.. when we reached his house he said hes not ready yet and would take abt 5 mins.. so he suggested we come in and wait.. i walked in and sat infront of the piano which coincidently blocked my view.. and then..

SURPRISE!! out of nowhere everyone appeared with a cake and started singing a birthday song! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I was just standing blur/shocked for a second hahhaha.. i REALLY didnt expect it mann.. really really touched by the surprise!!! after they finished the song they brought 2 more cakes out and started another birthday song.. this time with sean and shi yee's names in it LOL!!! Now THEY were left speechless hahahaha.. (Sean's bday is on the 5th and Shi yee's is on the 6th of Jan)

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the surprise Jay Min, Ruei Pern, Sam, Sean, Shi Yee, Ju Ann, Pooi Cheng, Phil, Kyle, Lin Cze, Keat Tong, Vhimal, Sheng, Deepan, and Ervin!! Also, Thanks to Mel and Chay Ann for helping with all the planning but wasn't able to make it =)

Special thanks to my 2 hangout buddies lol, Jay and Ruei Pern, for planning the entire thing 2 days ago!! Using up hp credit calling everyone to organise it and spending lots of money just to keep me distracted so i wouldnt notice anything and to buy time for preparations ><

the surprise was really well manipulated and planned haha! everything EVERYONE i talked to said before was meant to steer me away from the surprise =.= i actually called up d people to organise paintball.. but it was just part of the plan.. arhghgg.. hahahah! They even manipulated shi yee and sean.. got sean to distract me in order to distract HIM from HIS surprise.. and got shi yee to stay out of the fridge and hide behind the door so she couldnt see her OWN cake ><

Had lunch at Kim Gary and Kinsahi.. Thanks Teng Huei, Guan Thiam for joining us awhile and also to hunt for my present haha.. then all of us went our separate ways.. Me, Rp, Phil, Sean, Jay went back to KP and played pool and 8-ball for abt 2 hours.. then we went over to Pak Li Kopitiam in BBK for dinner..

It was really an awesome day.. Best birthday surprise ever.. really appreciate it! i am gonna miss you guys sooo much when i leave =( Speaking of which i am having my farewell party on the 17th of January 2009 at my house!! Its on a saturday and its gonna be for dinner.. who's invited? you know who you are!

Since im leaving for Hanoi in an hour im gonna give the birthday surprise victims an early birthday wish coz i wont be able to wish u on the real day hehe

Happy Advanced Birthday Sean!!

Sorry. I know. Incredibly late post. But the computer takes forever to upload the images. There are more..but it just all takes to damn long. 

Anyway...

To end my wonderful year, 2008, I got to spend it with a bunch of my closest and oldest friends. There may be few but it was good enough. (sorry to these people if they wanted the photos. Computer was extremely slow.)

Kyle had a countdown barbeque for us at his house. 

It felt really good to spend the last few moments of the wonderful year I had with this bunch.  

    

What is Teng Huei doing??

 

Everyone who managed to go. That's me,Kyle, Kar Yan, Guan Thiam and Teng Huei. 

Teng Huei got cut out here..><

All in all, it was a fun evening despite the fact that I had to leave early. It was a great way to end 2008..

So sorry to these guys. Can't post up any more pictures or else the post will be way way long overdue, longer than it already is. 

On a totally different note:

Btw, went to Subang Parade the other day (as in recently), and saw a woman with those t-shirts saying ''Miss Boobjob''. What puzzles me is WHY anyone would wear such a shirt?? And to add it all up, her boobs are kinda big. I think she's trying to tell the world something. But seriously, if she did have a boob job, why on earth she displaying it to the world is beyond my comprehension. It's either she did get one OR she doesn't understand the meaning of ''boobjob''. Oh well.
