My Birthday Dinner

(Some pictures will be posted later )

Haha, wad a childish title...Yesterday (26 Oct, Wednesday) was my B'dae! Yup... And my MSN nick is "OH no! I'm 17..."

My "celebration" started on Tuesday, when we all went to M'sia for shopping! Yessss! I went to my favourite shop POP SODA in Jusco shopping mall located in Permas Jaya!!! And my mum bought me a set of new clothes! A very funky yellow top and a denim skirt!! Costing {[($39 + $76) x 20%] / 2.23} ArrghaHA!! U do the maths la... then I also saw a denim jacket, the kind dat covers only a half toro, but we din have time to try it on and it costs RM89 with 10% discount! But I really liked it! But den I dun think I'll wear it to sch... URRGH!

Thinking about dis shopping trip makes me sooo hAppPiii! But that morning I oso fretted about getting closer to 20... Haha, I was like "jialat, 3 more b'daes and I'll be 20..." It wasn't so much abt reaching TWENTY... but after 20, there'll be 30, and 40 and so on. It's juz better to be a teen. Dats wad I think now la.

Then yesterday night, after the absolutely CRAZY rush to register for a GEMS module I had, we went out for dinner. Went to Redhill with my bro to meet my mum and dad... I didn't expect to go to any fancy place for a "special" dinner. But we ended up deciding to go to a Marina's Corner, a steak house in a club house for sailors. Hahaha. My family has been going to this Steak house for more than 17 years! How's THAT possible?!

Simple... My parents have been dining there since their dating years!! They even brought with my grandma along a few times back then.

I also went there often as a child! Nothing much has changed although it's been a long while since we went there: nearly 4 years!! Only the staff's changed.

When I stepped into the steak house, i felt it was very dim. So I chose a corner table that was near 2 wall lamps. Then an elder staff, presumably a captain, brought our menus and said, "U picked a corner huh. Marina's corner must seat in the corner!" Haha!

My mum told him in Chinese It's been a while since we came. Then he joked, "Dun too Long leh. We dun have many customers now." Soon my dad walked in and chatted with the man on his own about the old manager whom he knew in the past. The man said the manager in still around! Only the serving staff's changed. He himself started only 8 months ago.

I actually order a lobster combo!! It came with beef sirloin! Although we have western dinners frequently, I SELDOM take beef, afraid of having to heavy a meal. But last night was "special" ma, hence the special order lor!

And because it was the cheapest set among us, I started to consider another special order. It was on a separate menu called Designer Italian Gelato. Like WOAH... It has pictures of abt 12 types of ice cream (without cream ;P) in intricate designs and mouth watering flavours. Each Gelato has it's own description by its picture!! SOOO enticing la! So I kept pestering my father to request to the ever so friendly server, whom we would later know as Mr Raymond Foo, for a FREE gelato on this occasion...

But all the while my father only smiled and nodded his head like he's thinking, "Riight, riight.." And when he mentioned dat my brother got second in science in his level, I tried my luck again saying, "Get one for him also la! Say today we come here for my B'dae and to celebrate him coming out top in his Science!" We chatted more about school while having our meal.

And finally I said Daddy, are U gonna ask for me? If not then I'll just ask for the price of it. Meaning I'll order it anyway. STILL, he doesn't give me a straight answer, juz goes Mmh Mmh...Then the end of our meal came and he walked to the counter after their set meal desserts arrived. When he returned to his seat, I asked him You asked for the bill already arh??? He said not yet la.

After a while as i was disturbing my brother (as always), the man and a guy cashier who was approaching us suddenly went HAPpy Birthday tooo You.... and sang theWHOLE song SO LOUD it could be heard thru'out the restauant la! Hahaha but I was too delightfully surprised to be embarrased!! They were holding a big decorated plate with the Gelato with a candle on it!! I smiled so hard I felt my face turn red and my eyes watered! HAHAHAHA... The man said it was complimentary for me! Then the cute cashier gave me a hand shake and wished me happy birthday! =P... My mum later said she jumped when they sang.

Then my mum asked my dad after we left the place how he told the man. He said with a cheeky tone, "I told him... actually today we came here for my daughter's Birthday... she's eyeing to ice cream menu there la."

Hahahahaha!! So sweet was the ice cream!

But the upside was, we got to see SPlace's Fashion Show- the BEST Fashion Show EVA put up by Poly students.

Hahahaa!!! Cute right??? When I showed my mum, she said she only noticed a pair of humongous housefly compound eyes staring out of the screen..

Hmm I wonder who she was refering to...

And the pair I bought, she said Very Nice! Yay! Finally one that suits me.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! I miss blogging SOOO Much!!

Blogger was under maintenance for 2 days and during that period of time I had ALOT of things I wanted to blog ABOUT! Nearly pulled my hair out waiting....

I wanted to blog about 2 fat bastards, costume jewellery and something which I don't rmb now!! Urgh, so frustrated.

So anyway, abt the things I remember first...

Fat Bastard No.1. This happened about 2 days ago. I was cycling around Choa Chu Kang, making my towards the park and unfortunately run into the above mentioned... I didn't RUN INTO that bastard... I turned left after crossing the short stretch of road and there were 2 joggers in front of me. So I rang the bell.

Just so U know, there's 2 kinds of "rings": the polite kind and the brusque kind. I FOR ONE, used the polite ring; soft enuf to tolerate, loud enuf warn.

But the guy, who could've momentarily step behind the female jogger, immediately cut back into the centre of the path and pointed to the grass.

OK.... WTF, it's not like I don't have the skills to DO just that... So, silly me rode onto the grass which was coincidentally littered wif loadsa fallen leaves. AND AS I PASSED THE GUY, HE PURPOSELY COUGHED AT ME!

Irrational JERK, I was already thinking.

Suay-suay, one leaf got caught between the front wheel but i cycled on further before trying to remove it. GOD knows how a literal ROAD HOG on two legs could run THAT fast, but that guy was already behind me. But

HE GRUNTED, "GET OFF THE PATH!!"

Can you believe that??!!! 'COZ I CAN'T!!!! My Freakin' GAWD!!!! Immediately I felt my ears glowing RED with anger. I didn't want to turn back to face him, afraid that I'll slap him back to his true form. I only THOT,

Ya' FreaKin' Son-of-a-SOW, Why dun U bloody hell ROLL OFF the damn path urself??!! Go TO HELL!!

But, I also didn't do myself a dis-service, but turn off at the next pedestrian junction! I intentionally rode on slower than normal, hoping to challenge him (to a brawl). At that time, I was rehersing how I was gonna tell the FAT BASTARD off. So all the while, he was just SNORTING and GRUNTING behind me. I really started to suspect that the woman was his wife or something. I pity her poor SOUL!

As we neared the park I saw a taffic of cyclists YOUNG AND OLD, as well as joggers, heading towards & away from the Park, so I thought

HAH! Lets just see how the freak-of-a-bastard U're gonna get thru this mess!!! U can't Possibily SNORT Ur FAT ASS thru NOW!~

HELL was I wrong!!!! He went "TSK, TSK, TSK" behind me. And then we approached two small children on their bikes who didn't know how to make way for "fat bastards" like urs truely, so he went

OOYEe!!!
Pig like and all...

OH my GAWD, He's realli SUCHA MEAN ROAD HOG! LAter on the same path, I siam an adult cyclist coming to me on my right, but on my left there was another small malay girl on her skate scooter, so I siam her too. AND I HEARD HER SCOOTER FALL INTO THE GRASS BECOZ THE FAT BASTARD DIN LET HER PASS!!

I finally reached the Park, wanted to turn around to give him a piece of mind le. But (he should) thank goodness, he was nowhere to be see!!! Arghhh! I grit my teeth, and ACTUALLY went round the park looking for that FAT BASTARD, just wanting to scold him!

I never found that PIG tho... From there, I cursed him all the way back home. Next time if and WHEN I meet that road hog again, I'll noe wadaa say.

Wad THE HELL?! I've EVERY right as UR FAT ASS has to use this path!!! Dun put the FREAKIN BLAME on me JUZ 'CAUSE your father couldn't put ur Fat Ass ON A BIKE and teach YOU 'Ta RIDE!!! Get out of my sight! BASTARD!!

Notice how I call him Fat bastard only after he angered me... I've nothing against fat people. In a world where Big ha sbecome Beuatiful, it's minority like him that falls into a sad category.


TO Fat Bastard No.2. You are a plain S.O.B. You MURDERED my aunt, made used of MY FATHER to shield yourself from guilt and blame, pocketed her boss's condolences money (of 15 freakin thousand!), FOOL AROUND, TRY TO CHEAT US OF OUR WEALTH, taught ur lousy son to steal from MY GRANNY!!!!!!!!!!! Till NOW, U still pretend U've not let her down!!!

You have no shame,

you have no remorse;

your sins' limit is the sky

may you be sleepless

may you be insane

may you burn in hell

Till the day you seek forgivenss

and repent.

I would never curse my own family, but you are NO FAMILY. Time and time again, you try to dig into our pockets... I sincerely, truely, deeply hope the SLUT n tramp u've with you now die with a horrible diesease, passed by you to her and the two of U, live happily ever after.

If this were America, I'd purchase a monster SHOTGUN and help the police blow ur fuckin' lard brain out, thank very much...

Truth be told, despite this being a "hideious family secret" I hope one day word will reach the reporters' ears and let you be shamed, despised, spat upon... Promise me one thing and I'll let U off my curse list.

Kick the bucket sooner, OK?

I feel sooo much better already.

Costume jewellry!!! Hmm, I just wanna make a note to myself... I completed a 3-string bead -belt in 3 days, and a bracelet and necklace in 2 days... Hehe, I can't stop!! Guess I've found myself a new hobby! *Giggles*

Stairway to hard drive heaven, how can I forget?! Well, I'm sick and tired of even thinking about it let alone recount it... An accident happen to my com... I was trying to remove a spyware prog when I accidentally deleted an important software, essential to the com's functioning called soundMAX. realli a Damned and screwed feeling.

needless to say, ABSOLUTELY every-single file/document/programme, right down to the basics like changing the time and date was formatted. Suck out to the cyber blackhole. Drowned in the electronic abyss.

No one can imagine the damage conceived.. My compos, my projects I saved for keepsake, AND thousands and thousands of pictures from my holidays & school flushed away at the click of a mouse. I was so devastated, I nearly crashed out my front gate and ran away from home.

But as usual, "things could've been worse". After ONE hour of sobbing at 12:30 am like I just killed somebody I know by accident... I woke up next morning, thinking "Hmmm..."

It's as tho puffy eyelids were a sign of enlightedment. The thing that was the most heart breaking to lose were the pics la. Cos I thot, memories can fail you, pictures can last a lifetime.

APPARENTLLY NOT, If u keep them in ur com- it's bound to crash SOMEDAY...

Fortunately, my cousin help to re-format it... have to start everything from scratch... betta then nothing la. Learn from my mistake. Technology is NEVER 100% reliable...

Gosh, doesn't take a Genius to figure THAT out. I feel STUPID XP.
