nature's early birthday present for me. the night before 22nd. always been fascinated by animals. and this little baby bird's parents have been chirping non-stop near our window sill that day, the 21st. the whole family's got bright yellow bellies. CUTE HOR! anyway, i could press my face real close up to the glass window because it was tinted so that the bird couldn't look in. and the baby didn't flinch, just cocked its head abit. looked so furry and squeezable in my palm. muahahah.

22nd March 07. Morning
My dad hung his angbao, with the usual heartwarming wellwishes on the empty underwear rack. WAHHA. i totally missed it though, eyes were half-closed while on the toilet bowl and brushing my teeth. must have subconsciously thought my mom has gotten herself a heck of a red underwear.

22nd March 07. Noon

Got my first birthday gift from someone i totally didnt expect at all! Karen! Only got to know her this semester, but she was sweet enough to get me earrings (cause she knows i stare at them for a long time at school bazaars. SHO SWEET.) and a card along with it, after she found out from Friendster we share the same birthday! Pretty glad we spent our birthdays together yar, watching Mr Bean and his antics.

oh, and doris gave me a sweet, and praises. :) wanted to sms her thanks, but didn't have her number. :(

22nd March 07. Night

My mummy and brother shared in getting me a real diamond pendant, with silver chain. you can hardly see the diamonds, but they're real! haha. my brother paid $1. HM.

and the tallest cake ever. But not nice, don't try. at least, i like cakes with more moisture.

The day after 22nd. After class

Ros and Mab were waiting at AS7 for me (my two hunks hur, shiqin.) with a lit birthday cake in front of, well a lot of orchids. hahah. but nice surprise guys! :D and i really appreciate the effort coming all the way down to clementi and finding your way to my classroom on campus. -hugs.

After that, it was to ECP! for cycling plans which never took place (lazyyy us. haha), but the sumptuous chilli crab feast did! and we even felt rich enough to order fried youtiao stuffed with sotong paste (which was real yummyyyy.)

At first, the skies were still pretty clear and we were all feeling like 'in paradise', as ros puts it. good food, good company, good scenery. ahhh.

but the rain HAD to happen. BAH.

STILL, had a frolicking good time with you two darlings. :) THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, REALLY. ilua (i love you all. and you too di, missed u)

like anyone can tell we're inside that dark photo.

i really really really reallllllllyyyyy like those havaianas. (yes ros, i'll practise pronouncing it. heh) been trying to wear shorts often, so as to match them. and the rose's properly drying! though i think it kinda shrunk? hahaha.

THANKS TO YOU THREE FOR THE PRESENTS THOUGH. MUCH LOVE.

Many days after 22nd March. Getting sick

i know they look rather limp and flat here, (trust me, they didnt look like that in the green-dotted box at the airport. blame it all on my banging my shopping bag around.) but that's KRISPY KREMES you're looking at. 90pence (translates to about $2.70) a piece DOUGHNUT. (THANK YOU DI.)but them piping hot is really shiok! even with my fever and all, invigorated my tastebuds for a while. and i ate them delicacies with a knife and fork. act posh.

soon after that, my father proceeded to showcase his acting skills for a while, and managed to get the whole family shrieking when he finally revealed that he's bought the winning third price number! not a big amount won really. but still, it's my birthdate number! 0322.

can you hear the soft swoosh of the butterflies' wings. 11:40 PM.
