my birthday celebration

Timetable for birthday
monday's timetable
9am-12nn PL Developmental processes
6.30pm-8.30pm Tr3001 New Product development (this lesson supposed to be 3pm-6pm, but it was changed to combined lecture, for a workshop on New Ideas generation. Well it was quite a fun and informative brainstorming session with my lecture mates, and i learnt quite abit).

Due to this horrible timetable, I was unable to celebrate dinner with family/friends. Not to mention my disgusting non-stop coughing. Those who have been in my class would have had a taste of the coughing. I feel like I'm trying to cough out my lungs through my mouth, to no avail. It doesn't want to come out though. haha

Anws, as you guys must have guessed, I went to celebrate (a little) on Sunday. My family wanted to treat me to a nice dinner, but as me, my sis and my mom are all sick (My sis coughing like me, my mom lost her beautiful voice), i suggested not celebrating. Anws, as a casual thing, we went to Terminal 3 of the airport to see if it was as good as what the news have been saying. Well, I'd say it is not really worth a visit. We had high expectations of the Terminal, but it wasn't as beautiful as expected (or hyped about). Its architectural concept was slightly disappointing, and we found the ceiling of the Terminal 3 to be slightly unappealing. There were many high-end shops at the Terminal, and the Sky Train to Terminal 3 was carpeted. It was rather crowded also, with mostly locals who are also tourists there like my family. We saw the departure hall though, it was nicer and looked like it was designed with the rich tourists in mind.

Speaking of Terminal 3, our family likes this particular stall selling Dumpling noodles in the 3M foodcourt. So we also went there for a small feast. Not forgetting, I saw Junyuan and his family in TPY hub, one particular carpark. I guess he dint recognise me since he doesn't know me.

It was a tiring and sleepy afternoon after the feast and Terminal 3 stroll, so I slept all the way back home in the car. Nice!!

In the evening, I met up with my beloved. He had a surprise for me, and I wondered what it was. I was still coughing badly, so he found me rather quiet. I had to keep quiet since I dint want to cough too much or get my throat too dry if i talk too much. Anws, we walked from the Bukit Batok central to Little Guilin , where we settled on a rock. He produced some boxes of Sparklers and we were playing Sparklers for a celebration =D nice! and starrry sparkly!! Anws, we walked further to the Bukit Gombak Stadium, and he found a stack of postcards on the rack, he wanted to burn them. So we took it back to the rock and burnt them. It was quite nice after awhile. It was warm, and the whole place was lighted up. However, it got too smoky and sooty after awhile, and if you get ur face too close, it wont be nice.

After awhile, we burned the entire stack of postcards, together with sparklers occasionally which gave alot of stary sparks, and the postcards were swelling up cos they were coated with some plasticky materials, and they burned differently. The fire would gush out at the edge of the postcards! very exciting burning. haha. Also, the sparklers boxes had colors! when we burned them, they glowed greenish, so the fire burning off them were green, maybe something made of copper lols.

anws, we were all smelling of smoke by the time we finished burning, and we walked back to the Central for a meal. Since the walk was rather long, we decided to burn the sparklers along the way, also it can dispel our fantasies of delicious food haha. The sparklers surprised passers-by and they gave many funny looks. a kid actually shouted cos he was kinda scared, and made his mother laugh lols. The stars flying out of the sparklers are really beautiful! and the sparks hit the hands to give a warm feeling. hehe. Arul wanted to eat Pizzahut cos he was super famished by then. but i wanted the healthy option and decided to take Subway. hehe. It was close to 9.45pm by the time we bought our Subs, and we went to check out whether there're any good movies. but nopes, not a chance, and i suddenly got really sleepy, so we went home.

That was how the Sunday ended. Throughout the whole time in the morning, i wanted to go to school library to mug. haha. but i dint la, of course.

Back to Monday.
Monday I had a nice surprise. Usually my dad opens the letter box. So presently, he came home in the mid afternoon, and he passed me a parcel-like thing. The first thing i thought of when he passed it to me, looking at the size of it, was that it was probably from Christina! lo and behold! I was right. The addressee - my name, had many fishes drawn around it. haha. so of course, i knew it had to be Christina! who else would draw fishes right? lols. I was so happy and excited, and i went to open it almost immediately, after shaking it around to try to guess what it was la. haha. my sister was excited to see too. So i went to open it up and it was our Journal of Promise! hehe. That's how she named it. I was so excited and happy, at the same time, thinking that too bad ur birthday is in the end of this year. poor thing. have to wait so long for it hehe.
ACtually, i didn't open the card until tonight, just a few hours before i started blogging this post, because i was rushing to my class in the evening, so i wanted to open it when I had time to read it. I love the picture and the card and the bracelet!! SUGOI!!
(i was kinda hoping she would remember the locklet tho) haha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anws, monday after class, arul met up to pass me my birthday present. He insisted not to give it to me the day before since it wasn't my birthday. so he met me at HV for dinner (he missed the bus stop at sunset way, so we met at HV instead). As usual (nowadays) he's starving and he suggested ThaiExpress. I wasn't that keen but i went along with it, since he's starving. For some reason, I don't really have much appetite for dinner lately due to my incessant coughing that kills my appetite.
He ordered this Beef curry with rice that's really spicy and hot and delicious, and I ordered this fried Kway Teow with vegetables (For vegetables lovers). IT was really good! hehe. So we had a great dinner and the service was especially great! the waitresses and waiters were very friendly and polite for some reason (remembering my last visit at the same outlet, it wasn't that fantastic). anws, so we enjoyed our dinner. The Red bean milkshake was a tinge too sweet though.

He brought me to this quiet park beside the Cold storage, which we called the toilet park. It has a mini exercise play ground there, with many metal benches for couples to catch the breeze. The main reason why we call it the toilet park is because there're many sculptures there, with their main theme being the toilet bowl. You guys probably have seen it before while walking from the bus stop to cold storage right? haha
Anws, he said he needed time to 'prepare' the gift, and had me look away. Well, i couldn't see much without my specs in the dark anyway. so i went to play on the exercise machines, they're nicer than those downstairs my house. So there was the birthday surprise! It was a shock at first, then a surprise when I opened it lols.

will upload the photos but i think it probably cant be transferred from my phone to the laptop. =(

not forgetting to mention all my friends who wished me happy birthday - Thank You to you guys!! Happy CNY shopping too hehe!!
