Happy Birthday to myself

It's a very quiet birthday for me. No celebration as it is too close to my grandpa's passing but my mum promised me a cake on my lunar birthday.

Thank you for those who wishes/wished me 'Happy Birthday' today and for the presents prepared for me. Thanks a lot for making the effort of remembering or checking Facebook.

Had a very meaningful birthday today. It is the first time I went to a dog shelter as a volunteer and surrounded by so many dogs at once. Didn't do much as we are new so we only feed the dogs. They are so adorable and friendly though I am a little afraid of Bobby/Dobby (don't know which is the actual name) cause he is known to bite but he did not and though I dare not touch him, he also did not disturb me. =)

There are 1 GR and 1 Lab Retriever there or at least we believed to be GR and Lab Retreiver, they are very friendly, Dora kept coming to us for pats while Doris just laid on the floor.

The 6 pups are also very friendly and cute, one kept jumping on me while the other kept biting my slippers. They are all pups of Danny/Denny who is the father of the 6 pups, however, they have 2 different mothers.

Among all of them, my attention is caught by Daisy who kept hiding in the cubicle and wary of the other dogs. She is very docile but bitten recently by another dog. Poor her, she is now afraid of her fellow housemates. Hopefully she will get better and start playing with the rest soon. =)

SQUEEZE!

We, who decided to cam-whore. LOL.

"Everyone, closes the eyes. Ok, 1, 2, 3." *Snap*

The birthday girl's friend, as well as mine. Hehe.

A video of a birthday prank we played on the birthday girl. Hehe.
In case you are wondering what prank we played: The day before the party, there's a BBQ and the birthday girl asked what did we get for her. After a moment of thinking, I replied that we were getting her a box and on my way home I thought of playing a little prank on her. =D I asked my other cousins if they agreed to it and they all did so I took out the watch (with the pillow and warranty card) from the box and bubble wrapped it into another box followed by putting in a really cute coaster (also a gift) into the box. We kept waiting for her to open the present and when it was time, I just had to video it down. LOL.

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year

CNY is coming so is school reopening

I am not very excited about school reopening. I mean, it is crazy to think that I look forward to the 3 hours back and fro from school. Which is the reason why I am trying to plan for 3 days week instead of a 4 days week like last semester.

BTW, did I mention that I got back my results? ALL PASSED! Something unexpected because Japanese Studies paper is so tough and my 2 failed mid term papers were thought to give me a couple of Cs. Instead, I only have 1 C and it comes with a positive. Hehe. Well, my CAP (equivalent to GAP) is 3.38 before exercising my S/U option. After much contemplating, I decided to only S/U 1 module which is the 1 I got a C for. After the S/U, my CAP becomes 3.67. Considered high among my fellow peers. Well, I just have to work harder.

And I don't like the food in school. They really taste horrible especially when you compare them with TP's food. I am also not thrilled to walk up and down all the stairs in school. It still needs a lot of getting used to.

Finally, I am looking forward to CNY. It is finally here again. Hehe. Can't wait to see everyone again.

DVD players
I am pissed off with (almost) all the DVD players at home. Firstly, the one in the living room is working but the remote control is dead and the AV channel has been taken over by the new mio TV system. Then the DVD player in my parents' room is also not working because they haven't used it for the whole year. The only workable DVD players are in my room but no one wants to watch movie in my room. ARGH!!! PISSED OFF!!!
Twilight
On the other hand, I am glad that I finished reading Twilight series and surprisingly, I hate Bella. Oops. She is just too unreasonable and unpractical most of the time though she is very innocent and kind. Please don't kill me if you like her. (=p)
Sims outing
Last Friday, we had a cousins outing. For once, all the Sims cousins were there and together with my 4th aunt and uncle (who decided that their younger son needs supervision). We decided on bowling but when we were there, all the lanes were full so we thought of catching a movie but all the time slot of those that we hadn't watched were off therefore we went to the arcade. We played a few games but the most memorable game would be the basketball match. Hehe. We waited for the basketball machine to clear before we had a Sims tournament. (=p) About 2 to each machine, we started playing and screaming. Something we don't do every time we meet. Haha.

Then a call came and told us lanes were cleared for us so we went down to play bowling. Hehe. I am not a good bowler and I don't bowl very often so it was not surprising that I was really lousy at it. We had a really great time there with all the screaming, cheering and clapping. Then 2 cousins left for another appointment while we continued. After bowling, we had dinner at KFC, courtesy of my uncle and aunt, before we headed back to the arcade to finish the remaining tokens. Then another 2 cousins left with my uncle and aunt before we decided to head back to the east for a movie, Bedtime Stories. The movie marked our last event of the day.

I am definitely looking forward to the next Sims outing. (=D)

Outing with the girls

Photos of the outing are up.


Fingers posed with bottle and Pepper Lunch queue number.

I look weird in this photo. LOL.


Trying to smile with my mouth closed.

Leanne's 21st celebration

First and foremost, the birthday girl - LEANNE!!! If I am not wrong, she was holding on to 50 helium balloons at that point of time when the photo was taken. She flew! LOL.

I was there at about 5pm to see if there was anything I could help and also to meet OUR students. (=D) The photo below was taken with our students by Leanne's brother cause Zhiyi was busying decorating. Hehe.


I decided not to upload too many photos. LOL. Will leave it for the birthday girl to update on her birthday but I really love her cake so, a photo of her cake. (=P)


And not forgetting a picture of the birthday girl with her cake and balloons. (=D)

The presents!!!

Spring-cleaning

I am exhausted. Been feeling giddy the whole morning and I feel even worse now. BUT I managed to do something I have been wanting to do - SPRING-CLEANING!!!

Actually I have been constantly doing spring cleaning but I always try to avoid the shelf beside my bed as it is very hard for me to clean the shelf when I am only entitled 20cm of space. So I decided to do it on my lunar birthday. (=P)

I cleaned the shelf and threw out a big bag of stuffs. I wiped the walls, the wires (plug, socket, etc), vacuumed the floor and mopped it with a cloth. Spent a total of 3 hours doing it and I feel like sleeping now but first I shall have my dinner first. So here I go.

My 21st *ALERT: Loading will be slow

Too many photos so I will just upload a few. (=D) Thanks to everyone who came and hope you enjoy the food. Thanks to all my relatives who helped me for the 2 days chalet stay. And also thanks my dad, mum and my brother. (^^)

I will just let the pictures do the speaking. I only posted the picture of the gift from my parents and brother. MY PLATYPUS IS NOT COMING TILL DECEMBER. (=P)
