I know i owe everyone a lot of post here. I’m just too lazy to write all up. It takes a long time you know – uploading all those photos taken, describing each and every events that happened which leaves a mark in me, and thinking that i’m using all the time i have, typing up all these rather than to stick my face on my books is heart-aching (and yet i still have not touched any of my books/notes till now – after being home for 5 days =X)
From the list of things i should post up (from my last post), i think i should update what happened on my 21st birthday first. Well, on 18th March itself, lotsa things happened were held. Classes till 5pm, then Prom Night Committees Phototaking at 9pm till all photos taken are satisfied, and later on was my meeting with groupmates for my E-Commerce presentation on the next morning.
Okay, back to what i had for my birthday celebration.
As far as i thought, i didn’t expect anything extragavant for this year’s birthday. Yes, i know that it’s my 21st – being legal, having all the freedom i want, bla bla bla… But, looking at those piles of work that i have in my hands really pull the atmosphere down, seriously. My uni yearbook (thank god it went really well, at least better than i thought), and my prom event that is going to be on in less than one month now. Besides, with all the presentation, quizzes, mid-terms, and assignments, how would you expect to spend a blast on my very own 21st birthday?
I have lotsa friends (not uni friends) that asked me, “Eh, Grace! How are you going to celebrate your 21st birthday ar?? Are you going to hold a massive celebration on that day??” What i replied was just, “I don’t know, don’t think i’m going to do anything“ And also, i have a few of them who actually wanted to come over to celebrate for me – one of them actually wanted to take annual leave and come all the way from Genting to meet me and pass me my pressie, but i just couldn’t spare any free time =( Other than that, i even got so-called scoldings from bestie that it’s my 21st and at least i should spend some time celebrating it. Oh well, i don’t even have the time to sleep nor do anything else besides all the tasks on my hand, and how would you expect me to spend anymore time for my own birthday??
But then again, things went out of my expectations though =)
On the 17th, as my classes ends at 12 noon that day, i stayed back in campus to help out in the Prom’s booth in Central Plaza while studying for my Friday’s paper. Then, i went to library to continue studying when the booth closses, because i know i won’t be able to study if i’m back home.
A msg came to my cell, from SL asking me whether is it okay if we have dinner outside. At the same time of feeling weird with the question sent to me, i replied her that i’m okay with anything. I was asked to suggest a place for dinner (i didn’t know anything was up yet) so i suggested Sri Kembangan – the place we always dine in. Since i was surprised with this thing, i asked - “You guys wanna have good food or simple food??” The reply i got was, “Eat geng a bit wan la”. Okay fine, i knew they wanna bring me to have good food and asked me to suggest a place. After thinking hard in the library with roomie, i suggested Menjelara, the place we had last year before celebrating Nan’s birthday.
When i popped into Yong’s car, i was surprised to see Yei Mei, Laurel and also Jia Qi in the car. I really never thought of this. Who would have known? I thought the other guys are in the car =.= Okay, stories cut short, and the place we’re eating is in Teluk Gong, Klang – everyone thought i wanted to have seafood because i suggested Menjelara [swt!!] except for me.
Pic ahead.


After dinner, went to Nan’s place for some “game” session. Another surprise that i didn’t expect again. As i was playing mahjong with YM and Laurel, i heard some shouts from the swimming pool when the clock striked 12 midnight. FYI, i was on the 10th floor, and they were shouting from the ground floor. I went OMG, and went to the balcony to check them out. Soon after that, messages started to come in. I knew they’re going to dump me into the pool like how we did to Nan on his b’day.
They got me a slice of chocolate ice-cream cake. They sang me a birthday song and shouted my name super duper loud =.= They were all waiting for me to finish off my cake so that they can push me into the pool. I was surrounded with the guys, i knew i couldn’t escape. I hand over both my phones to Perng and suddenly, stuffs happened. Stories cut short again, and the plan of throwing me into the pool failed.
Continued playing game. YM and Laurel took off earlier because they’re tired. See Han joined us later because he has to accompany his gf over the internet because coincidentally, 18th March is a memorable day for them as well – their annivesary and now it’s their 4th year =) Played till i-don’t-know-what-time, and it’s time to snap pics because i forced them to. When we were leaving then, i shouted, declaring that there won’t be any classes on the next day wahaha!



On the 18th itself, i have this 8am class. I was freaking sleepy as i slept at 3-4am the night before. TL texted me asking whether am i going or not, and i said i’m not. Haha! I received a number of birthday messages early in the morning but didn’t bother to reply yet because my eyes just couldn’t open. Wahaha.
Then, afternoon class as usual, got some birthday wishes from classmates. Went for early dinner then headed back home to rest. YP texted me asking whether am i free that night, but i wasn’t because i had this prom comm photoshoot at 9pm. Then YP dropped by my place at Cyber to pass me super cute and lovely birthday cupcakes from Cuppacakes *hearts*

[prom comm photoshoot post later - too lazie to upload so many pics now]
After the photoshoot, went back home to start preparing slides for my presentation the next morning (only me who have not done the slides, others doner dy =X) While i was doing, my eyes accidentally looked at the clock and it’s only 15 minutes more till my birthday is over.
Then suddenly, my house door opened, and i saw i-forgot-who carrying this birthday cake and a huge bunch of people singing birthday song again for me. Okay, this is totally unexpected lor!! They also bought dominos for supper! OMFG, so ngam that i was already hungry that moment wahaha! Despite me already wearing my sleeping attire at home, i didn’t manage to snap pics. That also because hands were dirty eating pizzas
Haha!!

And that’s how i spent my last minute of my 21st birthday =) Thanks everyone for making this thing memorable to me. Hehe.
