Just got home about 2 hrs ago, met up with Big Baby @ my evil half for dinner at TGIF. Over-ate as I was not even hungry in the first place! Was nice catching up with Big baby since we seldom meet up :/
Anyway, I’ve got so much to blog about that I don’t know where to start! I didn’t have time (and still don’t actually...) to blog about my Sydney trip, my birthday celebration with the JJCM gang, post-birthday celebration with my parents, post-birthday celebration with the ‘idol’ gang, Ai Leen’s wedding last Saturday and of course the status of my wedding planning. Urggh. My supposingly ‘big day’ is giving me a BIG headache! :(
Now I’m beginning to understand why people hire wedding planners!
Let’s leave the headache part for later, I’ll start by telling you guys about my birthday celebration. Well, I turned 24 on 2nd Nov... Yes, 24... I WISH! Hah! *grin*
Those were the days when I look forward to birthdays... now, all I can say is ‘huh? Another year already?’. Time flies and I find myself not accomplishing much. Well, I did accomplish a thing or 2 but well, nothing to yell about! Since last year, I’m still working in the same company, still in the same job, still driving the same car, dating the same guy, staying the same place etc.. It’s like being stuck in a time capsule where you suddenly step out of it and realised that another year has passed. Sigh.
Good thing about this yr’s birthday is that I celebrated it with 3 different grp of ppl on 3 different dates - my parents & cousin, my JJCM gang & Idol gang.
Had dinner with the JJCM gang (for those of you who are wondering what JJCM is, JJCM = Jalan jalan cari makan <literally translated as Walk-walk-find-food>. I really owe it to Jess for introducing me to this bunch of beautiful, fun, crazy, sexy, caring, loving gals!
Thanks to them, I was reminded that my "level 5" laughter’s still in existence.. OK, that’s a private comment that I won’t bother explaining.. Hah!
Me and the JJCM gals
We were at Salvador in Mont Kiara/Damansara heights area (it’s somewhere there!) but it was crowded with employees from HP who booked 80% of the restaurant. We were seated right in the middle of the restaurant, where the back-end & front was filled with HP employees, and as such, the night started off pretty bad. The service was bad - no one was ‘servicing’ us and appetizers came before our drinks etc - we had to walk up to the bartenders to ask them about our drinks, it was SUPER noisy as the HP dudes were like giving cheers etc, so we had to talk really loud among ourselves. The peak of the whole thing came when our main dish took ages to come and when the HP dudes started singing karaoke! Well, 1 things for sure - IBM definitely win hands-down for this! Their singing was atrocious.. Truly.. So Jess just told the waiter that we didn’t want our food if they have not started ‘cooking’ it. The waiter was sarcastic and rude when she told him that, but at the end, he gave us the bill as the other main dishes were not cooked yet.
Jess & Me at Salvador
We were upset with the whole thingy, so walked further down and saw another restaurant (I forgot the name.. oops) which looked nice and quiet and according to Chui, their pork knuckle’s pretty good so we settled for that place. It was around 10.15pm then if I recalled correctly.
Thank goodness we switched to that restaurant coz their food’s great and we ended up being the noisy ones in that restaurant! :)
Jess & me giving our Thank You speech!
We had a ‘dumb & dumber’ a.k.a. a ‘simple life’ scene with Ah Bo and Ling ling right before lighting the candles for Jess & my bday tiramitsu cake which I will never forget... Truly. Life would be so boring without the BOs! *grin*
Jess & Me before making our '24th' bday wish..
Then it was prezzy time. Jess opened hers first - as usual she and her trying-to-act-surprised action which turned out to be bimbo-ish/loli-ish. The gals bought her a combo of stuffs to match her love for diving/beach. Me, erm... I didn’t manage to get her full prezzy by then, so had to give her a belated one. In fact, it’s been like that for the past few years... My bad :(
I wanted to ‘break’ the trend but tak jadi... I mean after being friends for 22 years, trying to get something ‘fresh’/new for your bestie is SUPER TOUGH ok! I walked the whole of Sydney’s top malls and couldn’t find her full prezzy! YES, THAT TOUGH!!
Prezzies!
Then it was my turn to open my prezzy.. The gals bought me an iSmart digital photo frame that can play photo slides, videos and even MP3s! It glows in the dark too as it has some blue-ish light!
Me opening my prezzy
I was sooo touched coz Har Har mentioned that it’s for me to put next to my bed in my new home in Sydney; But warned me that I can only put photos of them in it as it’s for me to remember them... No sex videos of me and my hubby or anything of that such.......... *grin*
Sigh, I will really miss hanging out with the gals next time :(
Me super-touched!
Aiks. It’s 1.21am already, gotta take my shower and start doing some stuffs for my wedding slides.... Till tmr or next week, take care peeps!
