Older.. but Wiser (?)
Well well.. what have we here.
An old man growing older and wiser (I hope)..
Some say that 23 is the new 21~? lol..
I guess that's just to make us feel better. Well.. I suppose it applies more to the ladies.. Coz for us guys.. it seems "the older the better".
A favourite analogy I've come across is..
"Men are like Ginseng.. the older they are.. the better.."
whilst on the other hand..
"Women are like tofu, the fresher (younger) the better.."
I know some ladies reading this might flare up and feel insulted. It does sound stereotypical. But hey its just what i hear around.. and in some way I feel that's quite true.
But anyway.. I had a biFdaY celebration on the night of the 18th~ peGgy was the organiser and I must thank her for putting it all together~ Thanks babe~ =) This time, I decided to invite my housemate and best bud Hafiz~
So it was the 8 of us:
peGgy . evette . zyinG . winnnny
Bido . Tuan . Hafiz . mE
~ eve . winnnny . zyinG . peGgy ~
~ fiz . Tuan . muah . Bido ~
We had dinner at vegetarian place called "Utopia"~
Well.. its actually primarily a Karaoke place.. but it sells vege foOd (and bubble-tea) toO. And well it is nicee~ =D
For those who don't know.. vegetarian foOd can be reallllly niceeee. I've had my fair share of experiencing it during my JC days with Yin Mei.. *yuM..
Those really gD ones have "meat" dishes that taste almost like the real deal. So for those who are curious or haven't tried.. do take the chance to have a go at it~ I doubt you will be violently disappointed.
As usual.. the foOd wasn't enough for mE. hahaha~ But that is to be expected from the self-proclaimed "Black Hole" of a tummy. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying meal~ Thanks guys. Oh and of coz.. the dessert came next.
A Triple-layer Ice-cream cake bought by them~ If I'm not wrong, the green layer is pistachio, the middle is chocolate chip and the bottom is strawberry/raspberry~ Topped with a subtle layer of white chocolate.. and some frozen fruits~
One word - *YUMMMM~ =D~~
~ *yuMmm* ~
~ The layerz! ~
~ I was told that for your wish to come true.. the biFdaY person must only cut the cake half-way through.. ~
~ ..And the person whose biFdaY is next, will cut the remaining half all the way down. ~
After dinner.. came the REAL fun~!KARAOKE NIGHT~!!! whoO-hoO~!! xDTo be honest.. its probably the first real karaoke session I've ever had. And boy was it fun~ peGgy managed to boOk a roOm for us~ The ones attending were Bido, peGgy, Hafiz and mE~ A small but fun group of us. =)
We headed up from the dinner table and began our 3 hour SINGING FEST~!
~ Bido! Our "Idol" ~

So many songs were sung.. I can't remember all of them. I especially loved the ones where we all could sing together and just LET LOOSE and just go absolutely CRAZYYY! All the off-pitched screeching (mostly by mE i reckon lol~) and shouting during some of the songs. And I must say.. Bido can really sing well! omG. I was like... O.O
You are da bombz bidO! lol.
~ hiding in the dark.. ~
I wish I could've sang more U2 songs. But they only had a few which I wanted to sing. I love U2.. and they have so many songs which I love to sing and have literally memorised the lyrics toO. In fact.. I think I know most of U2's songs. Its all stuck in my mind. And the thing is.. I didn't intentionally memorise them.. they just get embedded into my mind when I listen to them. Well.. they are my fav. band.. no surprise I suppose.
I only wished that we didn't have to end so soOn.. and that they had more more more songs in their catalog!
On the actual day.. it was a quiet biFdaY for mE.. for which I was alright with. Had dinner with fiZ at Sara Thai in Karawara. It was alright.. could be better. But the thing which toOk mE completely by surprise was the webcam session that my sis suddenly asked mE to join. "Mum wants to ask you something.." was the reason.And when I finally got the connection up and running.. I saw my sis.. and a v.familiar background... MAMA'S HOUSE! =O
And before I knew it.. all my relatives and family members started filling up my webcam screen~ They all wanted to celebrate my biFdaY, and they weren't gonna let distance affect it. They even went to the extent of buying a biFdaY cake.. putting it in front of the webcam and sing *Happy Birthday* songs to mE~!
I was like... "Oh my goD.. *big smiles*"
I totally did not expect something like this.. at all.I was really happy.. seeing all my uncles, aunties.. "gugu's".. cousins.. my lovely nieces "Jia Xuan" and "Ting Ting".. and of coz my lovely family~ ^_^
THANK YOU ALL~! I LOVE YOU ALL~!!
Thanks for the celebration-from-afar~
There are a few other things I wish to talk about.. but I've decided to share them in my next post. I'll just leave this one as a biFdaY one~
Oh and I also wish to thank Yanyin again for the cuteeee CJ7 doll~! She was sweet enough to get one for mE (mini-toOns @ Parkway Parade) when she saw it~! ^_^*Arigato~~~*
