recently, it seems that everything is crashing down in my house. my camera spoilt, my camera battery is not working, my camera memory cards are all spoilt, my com is a lil nutty, my house phone is a lil jam (thank goodness for the spare phones!) and i simply cant wait to see which is the next thing to come crashin down... aniwaez, i had actually wanted to take a few shots of all the presents and lovely cards given by my relatives and friends for my birthday but well...as u can tell, the camera is basically under construction. so i will leave that till another day:) meantime, these are my lil notes of thanks to everyone out there for their lovely well wishes and gifts.
Family & Relatives:
1. daddy and mummy
i suppose there is really nothin betta than to have ur parents take time off their busy schedule to have dinner with you in a nice restaurant. yea. i think there is really nothin else to ask for. so thank you for spending time with me. Love you guys to bits.
2. my aunts
my aunts actually came together and gave me a pair of earrings..haha..looks like the coloured-stones earring from SK jewelry...my daddy says the earrings are bigger than my face..wads the point...bleaugh, he's juz jealous. anyways, i juz made my round of calling to my aunts to thank them for the gift. actually, to be honest, i am rather awkward when saying my thanks to them. not all though...juz some...esp my fourth aunt...ahaha..perhaps its the lack of interaction, i presume. juz now, when i called her, after rambling thru wadeva i had to say nervously, there was juz silence over the phone and i didnt even noe if it was okie to say good bye there and then. sigh. In the past, we use to have family gathering every Sunday at my grandma's hse. Now that the hse is sold and everything has changed, relationships have changed too. kinda miss those good ole days.
3. my cousin
However, I suppose despite all that is lost, one thing has perhaps improved and that is my kinship with one of my cousins..yupz. aniwaez, he got me a bookmark and a card this year...even got my third aunt to drive all the way to my hse to mail it personally. so adorable. my aunt even came up with a special printed postage of her own. haha. i suppose, my third aunt and this cousin of mine are the closest relatives i have compared to the rest. yea.
4. my 1st god brother and family
well i suppose this yr is a different yr. afterall, both of my god brothers are married so i suppose these are 2 of the relationship changes i will soon have to get used to. No more big cuddly soft toys or watches or wadeva it may be. my godma gave me a red packet instead..my 1st god bro brought me out for dinner with the rest of the family. 2nd god bro wasnt there as he was at his mother-in-law place.
Friends
1. The sms-es
lets start off with the sms-es. haha...okie..i admit. i am one of those desperate freaks that stay up past midnight juz to wait for my frenz to send me midnight smses, wishing me happy birthday. and the first to wish me this yr is CALLY! yay..haha...xiu xuan told me the next day in school that the dot-ka-dotz actually wanted to stay up and wish me happy birthday. but apparently most knocked off to bed even b4 the stroke of midnight. haha..aniwaez, it's the thought that counts. a special shout out to those who sms-ed: cally(0626), cynthia(0626), chin ping(0626), yun qian(OG23, O1), shi min(0626), phan shei(0626), audrey a.k.a small bao-zy(0626), charmaine tay(chij), julian(OGL of OG23, O1), marianne wong a.k.a ah wong(chij), carine(0626), chua(chij), geks(chij), leonard(0613), jacynth(chij), neetha(NYEDC), eileen(chij), sheena(OGL facil leader), angie(chij), kai ling(chij), cheng en(0626) & kimmy(chij).

2. 0626-ians
31st aug is actually teacher's day celebration but u guys actually stayed back to celebrate my birthday...even if it was a short while, it meant eternity. really appreciated it. and haha...for the fruit cake as well. My fridge was unable to store all 5 boxes of birthday cakes (for me) and teachers' day cake (for my mom) so haha...it was madness at my house the other day. We had a cake eating buffet.
cally, small bao-zy, chin ping and wingx:
thank you so so much for the paper crane. haha..cant believe i actually fell for wing yan's lie that it was for their teachers in their sec skool. i mean..cally and wing yan came for DIFF schools...y didnt i think of that?...hmmm...slow. anw, tot that was very sweet.
for your info, my dad and i are fighting over the bottle u guys gave me. coz he wants to use it when he jogs. and i want to use it for my own. we have decided to settle our dispute over betting on who will win the european cup soccer match betw. England and Macedonia. winner takes the bottle. hmmph...its mine to begin with. oh yea...and not forgetting the earrings...EARRINGS! thank goodness it is earrings. at least my dad cant wear them. shall hide it from my mom. Haha..suddenly, my house seem to be looking rather chaotic.
and ooo...the baby cranes are so cute la..haha seems such a waste to open them up. but den, if i dun, i will nvr get to see wad is written in there. dilemma dilemma.
and small bao-zy: thank you for the card and the small heart that glows. i hope it will be the same as our friendship ya...haha...i will give ya a big heart next time...lol
Dot-ka-dotz
ARGHHH! melinda designed a poster look-a-like on a vanguard sheet for me with the word "seventeen" written on it. I like that a lot...although I had a hard time lugging it home along with the crane.. haha..and attached along with it are the many well wishes from melinda herself, xiu xuan, cynthia, grace, adel and carine. All are such sweet letters..except a few nonsensical phrases here and there from adel and cynthia. thanks for all ur friendship u guys have given to me :) *frowns* cynthia...*squints eye*..u watch out...
cheng en gave hers seperately from the rest. haha..and can tell she spent a lot of time cuttin and trimming the border of her card. shall show u guys next time when the silly-goofy camera of mine is working.
haha...also received EARRINGS from dot-ka-dotz and another pair from grace. this birthday is a earring -receiving ceremony eh? haha...and also got a necklace from them as well. Really like that one...hope I can wear it soon. Wo de tian ar...when will that be manz..with all the exams flying here..nvm. come to the worst, I will wear it to the exam hall. Nothing will stop me...
and to those who wished me in school...err..like...samuel, ren jie, yee jin, henry, pt.. thanks for rmb:)
3. CHIJ sec school frenz
went to Thai express for lunch with kai ling, geks, chua, grace, ah wong and geok hian. my lunch is paid for. yea..that was a surprise. coz if i known it wud happen, i prob wud choose somewhere more expensive....i mean, cheaper. yea. so felt quite pai seh. Charmaine is still hilarious as usual. From wad I heard, she tot we were meeting on 1st September and had actually agreed to the whole plan only to realize last min when she was wishin me happy bdae that we were suppose to meet on 31st August instead. Haha...and she had late day. So she didnt come. Wad can I say, she is one busy woman.
After that, we went Kbox...and it was super duper wheepy whooper embarrassing coz they went to pick a birthday song and sang to me. And the waiter juz had to come in to refill our snacks there and den. Great. Goodness...that music video was so old to the extent that the people in the video had thick and clear plastic glasses and skirts were pulled above the waist. Yes...its the ah-go-go era. But overall, we had fun. Esp when we saw the MV by pan wei bo intro by chua...forget the title liaoz. I think it is something wad chilli wad curry...something like that. Everyone went high...whoo!
angie
Basically, that was how my birthday was spent. When I came home, I actually found a present from angie, who is also my 15th neighbour, and si ying. Yupz. Both were my pri school frenz. Tot it was so thoughtful of them. Later on around 11pm, I actually gave a call to angie and she came down to unwrap all the presents with me!! Haha..den at 11:30pm, her mom came to bring her up and we talked throughout the whole night on the phone till 2:30am. Haha. chatterboxes on red alert.
kai ling
Yea and before I forget, another shout-out to kai ling for baking cookies (for the first time) and trying to stuff them down the throat of my letter box. Need I tell everyone wad happen? She tried to shove 15 pieces of cookie wrapped in aluminum foil into the letter box and when she cudnt fit it in, she unwrapped, ate some, and wrapped up again till the cookies can fit into the letter box. Haha. and when the cookies dropped into the letter box, the wrapper actually gave way and the cookie made a mess in my letter box. Got quite a shock when I opened it. haha. but I tot that was very cute. Ahha..managed to salvage quite a few cookies and was able to give my two-cent worth to my shi-fu. Haha..anw, thanks load kai ling for that! *hugs*
k…this is the longest entry I have written in eons. But its worth it. shall take the pictures of the presents asap. Come to the worst, I will borrow camera..
love loads, hugs loads,
vanessa out
