a post that's long time coming...

inally finally got settled down with my new macbook pro baby. The system is amazing and I'm not going to stop typing, in fact this is going to be a rather long blog post because I finally could type in peace (on what's mine =D) and catch up on the happenings recently...

Nat's 21st Birthday

So it started out with nat's 21st birthday party on 19th June 2010 at the marina barrage. It was a cosy affair, like how nat wanted it. in any case days before the birthday, this hot mama called me up for a favour. The restaurant at holland V was pretty much over-charging at the last min and so she had to change venue. In the midst of all the chaos, the cake was kinda left to the 222s to handle...=) more than glad to help pick out the cake...muahahaha!

the cake was lychee martini and triple chocolate. It was white with paper flowers, simple and elegant which I thought suited nat la. I did worry that she might not like it etc. I thought maybe it's better to have, what i think, is a photogenic cake...a cake that photographs well. There are some cakes that have designs on them, which makes photography from afar difficult.

so while the cake was on its way to the venue in Rovin's car, the rest of 222 was waiting at marina bay. At first we were wondering how to get there via the shuttle bus. So tottering on our heels, we walked around the area, which was a total mess due the the extensive construction work, and couldn't find the bus stop. Finally, ADG was man enough to walk to the other end and told us that the bus stop is there. Later, we realised that XJ was driving and drilled jia liang to call him. So he finally came and we breathed a sigh of relief.

BUT....the question is now: "did he drive his lorry here?" because last time he told us that his family had a lorry at home which he drives sometimes. Luckily....his lorry turned out to be a 6/7 seater Toyota Picnic....the happier thing was that we all could fit in it...=D

So we arrived at the venue while XJ went to find parking lot. There were a lot of cars and so he took quite a while to find the carpark. In the meantime we got the cameras out! All the girls wore heels that day and it so happened that we were split into 2 'teams'...the pumps team, and the wedges team.

(Note: for the unenlightened, wedges and pumps are categorisation of high heeled shoes....)

I vote for the PUMPS team! HAHAHA! By the way, I look like a giant, and kris looks like a hobbit here...D=

the same effect here...WAHAHA...kris damn funny, she was wearing her flats at marina bay and changed the shoes in XJ's car while 'heh heh heh'-ing us that our feet will hurt later.

(postscript: it did.)

So finally XJ arrived....

and we headed to the cafe, which was a little empty with Nat's sec sch BFFs and us. So we figured that the hostess is running a little late and helped ourselves to a little entertainment...like dai-di and bridge...=D poker claud = happy claud...

I have no idea why XJ's expression is so leering...by the way, xinyi was taking this picture...O.o

After a few rounds of food, it's time to cut the cake! Did i mention that nat was really beautiful that day? We were WOW! by it....=D

half the time i was worried that the number "1" will just fall back and melt...D= looks kinda scary from here...HAHAHA!

We were both wearing the same shoes that day! Pretty right? Look at the killer heels! =D

So therein ends a wonderful evening =) XJ was nice enough to leave halfway to move the car nearer so we don't have to walk too far and later sent us to the mrt station. So yes, he's forgiven for all the 'bullying'...heehee

Kris's 21st Birthday

in any case, 2 days later was Kris's 21st on 22nd June 2010...i didn't take a lot of pictures because we used Vann's camera.

While waiting for vann (she was late due to work), we took some pictures. Half the time we felt that XJ's and Jia liang's clothes looked disturbingly similar. Like the jeans and shirt was the same shade of red and black

while jia liang was huffing about how late vann was, xinyi and i decided to entertain ourselves with the camera...=D I hope that the camera can capture the RAINBOW hairband...=X but can't see the rainbow eye make up =(

So while walking there, we saw a rainbow! it was just a nice beginning to a RAINBOW themed party!!!

Primary School Buddies

In the midst of all the madness, managed to meet up with my primary school buddies...haven't been meeting them for a long time and it's so nice to be able to meet them =) really really appreciated it!

We tried to put the cam on the table to take this picture, which explains why everyone was bending really Low to take this picture....

My BABY!

So after all the hustle, my baby is finally here!

The keyboard is of special importance to me...since I spoilt the last one =(

SO the 15inch screen is wonderful and the speed is even faster than before. Finally can build houses (in SIMS) without a hitch...=D

Vonk's 21st outing

So we went out to celebrate yvonne's birthday...which consisted of a very simple outing of jap food at Watami (thanks jes for the recommendation!) and billy bombers...felt a little guilty for bringing her to Watami, didn't realise that she can't take a lot of types of food now...=(

In any case, we went Chinatown to get my stuff and to suntec to see the jap hp...so the 2 of us were feeling so thirsty and headed to billy bombers at marina to makan. We ordered dessert before the main course...HAHAHA! waffle with choc mint ice-cream...wonderful!!

so her mum came to join us later and finished up her half finished fish and chips, was was disappointingly not as nice as before. My pork ribs was still good though...almost died finishing the ribs, with half the time yvonne being scared that the ribs will fly into her plate instead...MUAHAHA...

and last but not least....My 21st birthday

I was out with Jesline 2 fridays ago and was discussing about 21st birthdays (since I had so many this couple of months) and told her about my default plan: to celebrate my 22nd since I might not have the mood to celebrate my 21st, given how I am going to court to fight for a say in my mum's matters.

Then she told me something quite meaningful, like why not celebrate 21st, and when I win, celebrate a bigger 22nd...=D

the idea seems tempting, and another friend told me I shouldn't let this stop me from celebrating what's mine...so all in all...maybe I might have a 21st party as well...

Chris wants the theme to be the 7 deadly sins and my cake to be a really pretty stiletto...if someone knows how to dress 'Anger' and 'Envy' I might consider...as for the cake, i'm not sure yet =X

then again, i don't really want a theme, but that doesn't mean there won't be a theme, should try something different =D

HAHAHA!

So i'm wondering how to go about doing it. Was thinking 10/11/12 september =D which is exactly 1 week from Xinyi's birthday bash..D= or I can always postpon it to be 24/25/26 sept during mid-sem holiday...

=) any ideas?
