A short post before I sleep!

Just came back from Valerie's Bohemian Mama 21st birthday party! Totally had loads of fun and crap. It was held at Mind's Cafe with free-flow drinks and food! (Okay, I think I sound super cheapskate here.) Seelek totally cannot play Taboo. I suck at Uglydoll. The cuttlefish ball was uber delicious! The bike was damn nice, but it somehow cannot be folded despite being a foldable bike. Then, things became worse when we try to fold it by force. One of the screw/nut dropped out! Haiz. I think need to complain to Plaza Singapura's Carrefour. Haha!

Then, went to Laurent Bernard with Siaun, Timothy, Xinfang and Siying. Totally got high eating all the desserts! But the drinks are a little disappointing. Xinfang kept complaining her classic dark chocolate is not sweet at all. I find my caramel milkshake too sweet. Haha! But it reminded us of the Max Brenner visit in Brisbane with the rain and everything. Lol.

Alright, I shall cut my blog post short and bid farewell to all of you! Once again, trying to beat Priscilla's number of 'imaginary' readers. (:

Alright, managed to put aside my busy schedule to give some attention to my half-neglected blog. In a flash of an eye (一转眼), January is almost over. It had been a rather eventful month with all my Saturdays used to celebrate farewells and birthdays. The most important one is of course 15th January, a.k.a. MY BIRTHDAY! Okay, that aside, people whom set out to Incredible India have all returned safe and sound. Waihoe is happily studying for his tourism and hospitality degree in Switzerland. Siaun and I turned 21, and get a chance to vote in the upcoming elections. Going back to camp on random days to get my ORD admin stuff done. All that's left now is Valerie's 21st birthday party and my medical FFI and we will bid goodbye to January.

I've learnt quite some stuff in just the first month of 2011.

1. As one grows older, somehow or another, responsibilities just automatically pile up on your shoulder. Lol. For instance, I feel more obliged to teach and guide my younger brother as he is growing up. I'm already giving voluntary tuition to him for Maths. Not only that, my parents have started to nag me to get a job and stop lazing around at home. True, I have been glued to the computer for the first half of the month, and glued to my PS2 for the second half. They kept on insisting that being an adult means I have to stop my gaming habits and start being more productive. They are even sponsoring my driving lessons in an attempt to stop me from gaming so much.

2. Money is very hard to earn. Lol. Now that I'm going to ORD, money will not be flowing into my account freely. Luckily for me, I had savings and the red packets I received on my birthday, if not I would have already starved to death. On top of that, this year, everyone is turning 21 and thus money will have to flow out to buy presents for those whom are dear to me, which practically means all my friends. I have also being trying to balance the time I spent outside and home such that I won't have to spend too much. Also, I have been trying to go budget during all my outings. So far, it's quite successful, so Priscilla, I will have to make an exception for you if you insist. Hahaha.

3. Too much Maple and DotA is actually quite sickening. Lol. Okay, I think this has been what everyone is trying to tell me but I have been ignoring them. It actually takes one to experience it to truly understand what it feels. Well, I cut down a lot on Maple already, and I only play DotA when jio-ed by friends. So I guess that's a good start for me.

4. True friends are hard to come by and you should really treat them with all your heart. And yes, this actually struck me quite hard after my birthday. I finally understand who are those friends who are deserving of your attention and kind treatment. Whereas there are some others whom are just acquaintances, or some who really just approach you because they want some benefit from you. I really do not want to dwell too much on this as I dunno who reads this and I don't want people to get the wrong idea. But then, I just have to say thanks to those friends who actually have been standing my side all these while. You know who you are.

I guess that's sufficient for this blog post as I'm running late for my appointment. So until the next blog post, bye!

I'm quite surprised that I have the motivation to maintain my blog for three years and running/going strong. I dunno why but I just find coming here to ramble some random gibberish is actually very good for de-stress purposes. In fact, by writing about something, my mind is able to put another thing of absolutely no link at ease. Okay, my habit of talking nonsense is coming back.

Anyway, went out with Mama Neo to celebrate her 21st birthday, a ritual to welcome her into her womanhood. Okay that was nonsense.

It was a promise made 365 days ago and I am proud to say that I fulfilled it! That was gibberish too.

Back to the point, we met at Somerset at 6pm. I reached earlier and went window-shopping at 313. Somehow, I just love window-shopping, the service staff treats you super nice and you don't even have to pay 10% service charge for it. So anyway, 3 things caught my attention, a pair of shoes from Aldo, a pair of jeans from Levi's and a shirt from Esprit. And I'm going to try and scam my mum to go shopping with me before CNY! Okay, enough of the digression.

So anyway, we met up, had dinner at Ippudo @ Mandarin Gallery, then wanted to play pool. Being 2 out-of-the-well frogs (a.k.a. sua ku), we went up to the 8th floor to find the K-pool missing. So we went to sing K. It was super duper fun since I had not sung K for a damn long time. After that, we went to Swensen's for her FREE firehouse and went home after that. Okay my life is boring.

Anyway, I just remembered K-pool shifted to 4th floor. Like now. -.-

With that, I shall bid you guys goodnight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA NEO a.k.a. NEO YU YAN :D

Just returned from Yuyan's 21st birthday bash at Aloha Loyang. There was a lot of people there and loads of food. And the bbq prawns and pork chop was superb! It was a great party, imo. How I wished mine was as big-scale as that. It was really a showcasing of the people who cared about you and how they put in the effort to attend an event which is important and memorable to your life.

The food was great.
The cake was great.
The mutual cake-smashing was great.
The mixture of vodka and wine and beer was great.
The sitting down and chit chat sessions among the cousins was great.


Somehow, I can feel the growing of our batch of cousins. The transition between the young kids and the teenagers and the young adult phase is somehow quite obvious. As we were talking, I suddenly recalled those times whereby we were playing blind-mice in a bedroom, or block-catching in a block. To the times whereby we start to drift apart because we have our own lives to live. And ultimately, the catching up of good old days. I would say that the bunch of us has definitely grown closer throughout the recent years. I really hope that we can be as close to each other as we possibly can. This will be my promise to you guys (:

HAPPY 400TH POST TO MY BLOG :D

Oh well, back to my anime (:

Yixuan

And with that, my birthday party is over. Okay, I know this came late. Photos are up on Facebook. There are almost 300 photos split into 2 albums from me so enjoy :D

Went to town yesterday with Mongkheng, Yantao and Bowen to window shop and change my birthday gift from 13/07. Had quite a hard time finding Knightsbridge as it's a new shopping mall in Orchard and I had absolutely no idea where it was. But after much effort, we managed to find it. Yantao bought himself a new CK T-shirt at $55 (it was on sale, 50%), Bowen bought a pair of Zara jeans for $80 (dunno how much discount) and we got caught in the rain. In the end, Mongkheng and I didn't buy anything, and I spent almost $40 on food at Ajisen Ramen, The Marmalade Pantry, Food Republic and Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe. It was a fun day. Lol.

Anyway, here's some anime recommendation for those of you who are dying of boredom at home.

Turning 21, I don't feel any major changes happening to me. Well, at least physically. But I'm still trying to learn to be more sensitive to others and how I can help the people around me more.

Just like yesterday, I volunteered my services reluctantly at my parent's workplace because their clerk went on leave. And being an admin personnel for the past 1 year and 9 months, I seem to be quite suitable for the task. But what I need to do was just filing up 2009 & 2010 invoices and some accident reporting and e-filing. Took a bit of time off to play Dota AI though. Haha.

Then today, I went to the market with my mum to get stuff for the party later. I was super shagged out because I was Dota-ing with YY, MK and his bro till like 5.30am. And so, I just sat there and my mum just kept loading food on me and the trolley we brought. Made me smell ultimately fishy.

I am totally looking forward to the party later. It's a good chance for different groups of my friends to know my other friends better and also, maybe a life-changing experience for me.

Turning 21, I shall blog more about it probably tomorrow or on Monday.


HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF!

Oh well, I was happy mapling and then, they had to do an urgent game client patch. And thus I was disconnected. I am not really sure what I wanna say on this blog post. Maybe except that my birthday is coming! Okay, I think I've talked about this so much that you readers are very sick of it.

Today is Siaun's birthday. And hence, here's a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the birthday boy. You are now 21 and please please please stop pulling disgusting stunts like forcing the beancurd to ooze out between your teeth and stuff. Haha.

Coincidentally, today is also the 1 year death anniversary of one of my great-grandmother. Though I'm not that close to her, I still feel quite sorry for her. She was disowned by one of the granduncles, tossed around the other granduncles and ended up living alone in AMK. I remembered we went to her house one of the recent years for CNY and she was so happy that we visited her. That smile she gave us was so genuine and warm. Greatgrandma, I really hope that you are enjoying yourself where you are now. At least, you don't have to face the face of those disgusting people. =/

Had a fun filled day today! Totally packed and eventful and I was rushing from place to place.


Had lunch with Priscilla, Siying and Seelek at Causeway Point. Then we went to Siying's house to play mahjong, cards and all sorts of exciting activities that you can think of. Seelek kept on persuading us to buy CNY cards to help her for her CCA. Being kind and caring souls, Siying and I each decided to buy a card. During mahjong, Seelek and Siying somehow become more pro than usual and managed to win quite a bit. But I think it ended with me winning the most (as usual).
































Then, I rushed down to Clarke Quay to meet up with Zhenyang, Hanwei, Celest and Jezabel. As Celest and Jezabel will be at Malacca next week, they celebrated my birthday with me today. We had dinner at Ma Maison and dessert at Lauren Bernard Chocolate Bar. Super satisfaction but super sinful. It was really quality time spent with quality people. I am really thankful and appreciative of such friends who care about me. To me, it's really those small thoughts and effort which count. Thank you very much!































































On a random note, I think I am addicted to travelling overseas with friends! It's really super fun and you can do whatever you like! My birthday wish this year will be to be able to go overseas more often with different groups of friends so that I can get to know them on a deeper level. :D

Just came home from sending Waihoe off to France/Switzerland. He's going to go off to obtain his degree in hotel management and will be away for a year. Being a very close friend and bunkmate of his since May 2009, it's a little sad to see him go for such a long period of time. Heck, it really pains me to see anyone close to me go overseas for long periods of time. I think that it really take a great deal of courage to step out of your comfort zone in Singapore to study overseas. Rachel is another example. I really respect them and wishes all of you guys overseas to do well in your studies! Make Singapore and yourself proud!

I just realized time actually time passes quite slow when I'm rotting at home play MapleStory and Defense Of The Ancients (yes DotA for those who don't know). The previous blog post was posted late last night and yet it felt like days ago.

Getting back to the point, it's only 11 days and I will officially declared as an adult. A 21 year old adult. A bit scary for me leh. And I don't really want to know what Yantao has planned for me. And one thing to clarify, please DO NOT buy me @-cash or anything that is related to MapleStory if not I might just beat you up.

I want to write a very long blog post, but it usually end up with lots of complains or me just being whiny. So keeping it short and sweet, I'm totally looking forward to my adulthood! Bring it on!

Sometimes, I just wish that the box next to me contains all the answers I'm looking for. It's tough to be living up to other's expectations not knowing what they are.

Anyway, I'm not emo. I just feel that I have been ignorant to most things around me. As I am stepping into the adult phase, perhaps it's time for me to take up more responsibility and understanding the world around me better.

On a happy note, I'm going to start my driving lessons! (:
