HELLO.
This will be yet another long post... (backdating it to 2nd nov)
Thank yous for the presents are below so scroll all the way down if you wanna just read that HEHE.
Wednesday, 1st Nov
It's actually my first ever birthday where I'm still out before my birthday @ 12am LOL.
Wanted to go PARK but their kitchen closes at 10:30, and we reached at 11 :( Went down the stretch, but all the the kitchens closed already T____T WE ONLY WANTED FOOD.
Ended up at Breko Cafe, and the food was actually good!
Truffles fries & buffalo wings hehe.
Got a Yuzu & Elderflower soda too :D
Got a red velvet waffle to cut~~
The wonderful (UOM) turtles <3 p="">
Thanks for doing this for me even though you all were exhausted (Listening to L talk isn't the most entertaining thing on earth...)
My favorites
Praashant was telling us that his phone takes amazing photos, and we didn't believe until we reviewed the photos HAHAHA LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TAKEN WITH A DSLR LOL
Thursday, 2nd Nov
Woke up at 7:30, then went to take the DTL!
Seems like there must be drama on my birthday morning one (last year, my shoe broke rmb LOL)
the train jerked and everybody flew forward (like I shifted 1 seat down)
This poor girl spilled the soy bean milk onto herself and others around her...
Everybody started offering her tissues & help, and that's one thing you need to see to be reminded that Singaporeans are actually very helpful and kind people, since we always seem to be complaining about everything in the world. The girl was super sweet too!!!!!
Big 3 meeting, they sang me the birthday song HAHA Mr Wong stopped cause I started videoing HAHA.
Came back to my table to see this - the point is basically pictures of people smiling like me HAHAHAHAHA "May the force face be with you". OF COURSE I MUST ACT THE PART IN THE PHOTO.
Thanks Glynis bb for coordinating this!
Lunch was at O'comptoir! (Pic taken @ A Juicery tho HAHA)
Lynn organized it, but she couldn't make it last minute. Shifu asked me who I eating lunch with, then he said KS said wanted to have birthday lunch with me then I was like "eh? KS coming along!!" My shifu confused.com HAHA. So of course he was jio-ed too :P Then Eliz was like omg can I join? OF COURSE HEHE.
I xiao honored lol.
Throughout the entire lunch SL kept texting the turtles HAHA insane potato.
Asked everyone if we were going anywhere tonight, and then SL was like he going LoL with the LAs. Cue the intentional guilt-tripping, of which he went like "After your class then you come w the turtles la"
Game on HAHA.
HAHAHA YAY
Yes I filmed my own video HAHAHA
I was taking a video halfway then Gene called T_____T
Shifu got me a drink from from A Juicery hehe. I always wanted to try out this place!! He is super up there one lol he's like a coffee connoisseur and he knows like so many more coffee places than I would ever know.
So after lunch I received an SMS... I was like eh? What did I order? Then I was like thinking is it someone so nice wanna deliver flowers to me (most common for birthdays I realized).
But as the day went by I forgot about it la. Until I received a call from the delivery man saying that he got flowers for me HAHA.
CONFUSED.COM OK LIKE NEVER WRITE NAME ON THE CARD.
Only wrote my instagram bio... "We accept the love we think we deserve~"
I was like heck who is it!!! I kept like guessing names lol. ZARA AND CHERYL KEPT SAYING IS IT YOU SEND YOURSELF ONE HAHAHA. At some point I just said yes HAHAHA.
Posted on insta and YC replied saying it was praashant, so I went to interrogate but he's good at making me believe it wasn't him...
I was thinking who do I know from NTU FRANK Branch, cause I remember TingTing asking me what is my office address..... but I know no one except for her.
Then I decided to click on the link in the SMS, which contained the deliverer.... named Benjamin. I question mark.com cause I only know 2 Benjamins and both won't send flowers to me. Called the number and HAHA it's PRAASHANT that idiot.
Praashant and Gene coordinated the whole thing. Praa went down to the shop to arrange this flower arrangement personally with advice from Gene (cause he know that Praa is hopeless in selecting) - super touched x 10748923789 please. Thanks you two, too much love leh walao guys. ♥♥
Went to school (celebration with fam will be on Sat since Thu is so awks), and Gene pushed for a night out even though it was Thursday because he didn't want my day to end like this (of sorts). (Maybe he just wanted to experience 29th Oct once more.)
He even left class early so he could complete his outstanding work at home before meeting us again. Why do I make the nicest friends. But then again, it being Thurs meant that not everybody could make it :(
Praa damn idiot keep saying Gary not coming to confuse us then I got so confused cause Gene said Gary was definitely going. After some hoo-ha, YC, Praa and I were finally en-route.
Grab was an Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and I reached Gold member after the ride :')
Riding in style baby!
Before we took the Grab, this pink dude passed me another bag of preseent like omg it's like it never ends...... speechless potato you know.
Reached Prinsep @ 11, Gene and Gary were not there yet. I said I didn't know where to go, cause like awks if just go LoL now (idk why). Praa said he was hungry so we went to find him food. His $2.50 plate of chicken rice :) SL kept saying he wanna go home so I told him to "eat faster, we go now" and then he scoffed the remaining half plate down within 2 mins (whereas he took like forever to eat the initial half plate). While he was doing that, he was like saying me "just now ask you where you say you don't know, now you ask me eat faster, don't know how to say earlier is it!?" HAHA SORRY BOSS.
Cue the ginger-ale :)
Right as the clock striked 12 :') Byebye birthday.
THEN GENE STARTED "SCOLDING" ME HAHAHA cause like not my birthday already don't have to treat me nicely anymore HAHA.
Friday, 3rd Nov
After the night @ 3:30am............ (YC, Gary & Praa boarded their rides home alr)
Everybody are insane potatoes la.
But it was good fun HAHAHAHA, WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS NIGHT
LOL THE NEXT DAY... HE'S ALIVE.
Glynis and Cheryl were out for training (go same training bojio
We obviously over-ordered (ordered the cripsy prawn thing too). Couldn't sit comfortably after I got back cause I was so full!!! But it was a great meal :')
Min gave me the card (SHE DREW IT) and a skirt. Super talented la. <3 artistic="" as="" beauty="" brains="" brushes.="" can="" do="" got="" half="" i="" not="" p="" paint="" talent="" talented="" was="" what="" wish="" with="" you="">
For the last 2 days of my birthday week, spent it celebrating Ryan's and Rah's 21st, along with some post-celebration for me hehe.
Saturday, 4th Nov
Went to Serangoon to collect the toppers I got for Rah and Ryan (they wanted to just share one but then I made ahead to make one each HAHA)
Lynn met me for A birthday lunch (since she couldn't make it for the actual day's). Initial plan was Itacho, but it was insanely crowded. Sushi Tei was damn crowded too :( Ended up at Imperial Treasure (even though I was going to eat that for dinner later) and had dim sum! Good lunch with good conversations with a fantastic human.
Then cue the next 2-3 hours helping her make her ezbuy purchases HAHA.
Went to Ryan's chalet @ D'resort after. Was supposed to help set up but reached late + phone died (couldn't contact them, couldn't grab... such life)
Left early to meet my family for dinner (they came to fetch me hehe)
Birthday dinner with the fam on Saturday @ my fave Imperial Treasure!!!!
It has almost became our new place for celebrations - the staff there recognizes us HAHAHA
Went back to Ryan's party to EAT CAKE HAHAHA FREAK I AM A PIG but earl gray lavender!!! and I only came for an hour so I feel like I totally need to head back.
Sunday, 4th Nov
Went to help Rah set up her party!
Chio right?!??!! Rah had it all drawn out and I'm glad it came to life!
With briends (missing peel still :<)

Thank you Praashant and Gene for the flowers that you all went through great means to get/cover up your tracks. LOL but the delivery people sent me an SMS saying that they're handling my delivery...
