::11th Dec 09::
Lalala~ I will try my best to keep my blog up to date!
Because I has completed my xmas gifts already!! Like yay! :D
& I would never make one of those again...
Collages, collages, collages. I sure do love the collages function :)
I have booked the BBQ pit two weeks ago. Pretty good spot; with toilet and pavilion shelter nearby. I also planned out Puikwan's surprised birthday celebration!! It was completely unexpected because this was supposed to be my family BBQ and me, inviting some of my friends to come along and eat free food :X I invited Edmund, ShunAn, Rebecca, Sally, XueNi and of course, the guest-of-honor, Puikwan. Yay! Finally all the members of Epsilon are together again! And my brother, Damien, invited his group of friends.
Going off!~
With Catherine, our ex-GV Grand manager :)
Luckily we didn't get lost! We managed to get to ECP just alright :) Since it was still long till Sally arrived with the cake, we took pictures, played frisbee and other random stuffs like jump shots. Edmund lost his pair of slippers and had to buy a $6.90 one :( Pretty weird for his slippers to lost like that... Probably some guy who has no slippers took Edmund's instead xD
This is like the best pit! :D
Solo beach shots!
Shadow play.
Jump shots! :D
Brother in the sea.
Pretty picture :D
New slippers :X
When my mama wanted to start the BBQ cooking, I went off to find Sally because she has completed her mission!! YAY! :D +345 exp and +100g to her! xD Edmund and ShunAn stayed behind to help out with the BBQ-ing. We played, took more photos and ate while waiting for Puikwan and XueNi to arrive!! Damien's friend bought a $35 Doraemon kite and was unable to fly it after one hour of attempts :\
Preparation & BBQ-ing!
Sally with her quest item! Good job! :D
Soon dusk arrives...
& night came... we continued to wait...
Pretty Hawaiian theme I took for them.
My picture wasn't as glamorous as theirs... :(
Who is the photographer?? Sally???
Yet another picture of me that looks photoshopped in :(
Night jump shots were failures :\
Anyway... @ 8.30pm... XueNi and Puikwan finally reached!!!
And thus, more picture taking!~
And thus, more picture taking!~
After awhile, Edmund suddenly dragged Puikwan and me away from the BBQ pit. I was pretty confused at first but then I realized the others were going to prepare the cake! xD
And then after I received a call from the others, we went back to the pit. And boy, Puikwan was surprised xD! As she approached the pit, we started singing the birthday song. She didn't really suspect anything at all, being it my family BBQ and all the friends I have invited. None that she didn't know xD
Chocolate cake :)
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, PUIKWAN DEAREST! :D
Actual birthday; 8th Dec
One of Puikwan's gifts from ShunAn.
For such a small gift, he was able to wrap it until so big!
Another one of ShunAn's gift to her; a scrapbook of memories :)
Slingbag and necklace bought by Edmund and me,
shared with XueNi and Sally.
Traditional 21st key with a bonus lock :)
Final group picture with everyone before we go home.
Edmund and ShunAn took the cab with Damien's friends.
Puikwan, XueNi and Sally went with my family on my papa's van.
We were taking pictures happily in the van, when Puikwan suddenly realized she has lost her handphone. I called her handphone and there was no vibrations and no one picked it up. It was such an anti-climax to the event. My papa drove back to ECP and we went to hunt for it. And there it was blinking on the grass! Lucky her! Apparently it fell out from her pocket when Edmund pulled her away from the pit. So the handphone was actually lost for 2 hours and no one picked it up!
Thanks for all my friends/Epsilon for turning up!! Thanks to my aunt who was our photographer for the day :) And also, I hope you enjoyed your surprised birthday celebration, Puikwan :)

Audrey's 21st Birthday Celebration
Thursday, November 26, 2009 @ 4:29 AM
::14th Nov 09::
So many birthday celebrations! One after the other... D:
And then again, the following week... I was invited to Audrey's 21st birthday celebration @ Horizon Garden condominium . Actual birthday on 17th Nov. Everyone is celebrating their birthday in advance... that means they will get their presents in advance too!
Anyway, I met up with Puikwan, Shalee, WaiKeong, Lisa, Daphne and Sally at Ang Mo Kio MRT first before heading down to Horizon Gardens for the birthday celebration. We waited for Sally for a super long time that we decided to take turns writing birthday wishes down on the scrapbook first. After Sally has arrived, we took a bus to Horizon Gardens!
Audrey was using her aunt's place to celebrate her 21st birthday.
Has BBQ pits and stuffs.
The people who arrived early.
Since we arrived pretty early (BBQ not started, buffet people still setting up), we played a game with her after everyone had written their wishes in the scrapbook.
This game was thought up last minute by Lisa and Daphne.
There are 22 photos and 22 captions in the book. Audrey is supposed to
match the photos to the right captions in the scrapbook.
And we watched her solved it one by one!

Anyway after she had solved the game, it's time to eat!! :D Good & delicious BBQ and Nyonya buffet spread. But as usual, I didn't eat a lot xD Do not have much of an appetite these days...
Hungry people.
Nom nom nom nom...
Nyonya buffet spread!

Some of the guys from my secondary school had to leave early when they have just arrived; because... they have to book in early the next day! Poor guys servicing national service *arm-chio* Well, actually it's pretty nice of them to turn up for Audrey's birthday celebration. I realized I didn't do a single thing for my 21st birthday at all! To me, it was just another day xD! Ah, anyway, pictures time :D
& also, due to the fact that Audrey is my secondary school friend and she went to the same polytechnic and same course as me! xD, I found out that it's hard to juggle around my polytechnic friends and secondary school friends at the same place and same time. I think I spent more time with my polytechnic mates there.
FYP team, without Joshua...
The guys had to leave early, due to NS; and Joshua was late.
Secondary school friends!
Look like the few remaining guys xD
Such a coincidence that Sally know YuKi too xD
Polytechnic friends!
Fiona brought her Polaroid camera with her
& here is one of the shots :)
Here are all of them.
They were in pretty weird colour because
a cartridge of expired Polaroid films was used.

It was drizzling slightly but it didn't dampen our spirits! But it stopped and we could start the cake cutting session :D It was around 9pm then.
It was a really delicious cake :P
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, AUDREY DEAREST! :D
She is so blessed to have so many people celebrating with her!!
With Puikwan and me :)
With secondary school friends :D
With polytechnic friends :D
With one of my favourite girls in life :P

Later, Audrey had to take a picture using the Polaroid camera with her polytechnic clique xD That's us! We thought of what poses we should do and we decided to pose as mushrooms like we did before during Shuhua's birthday last year. Like this:
All of us wearing Akira Star's uniform! :X
Yay! Luckily this was a testing shot. Silly Joshua head was looking downwards.
Now for the Polaroid shot!
Waiting for the picture to appear~
Still waiting~
Done! :D
It turned out good!
Added a short message at the bottom xD

Anyway, I joined in my secondary school friends' discussion on the next outing. Apparently it was to Marine Barrage for picnic and kite flying. But it was canceled in the end, due to the lack of replies in Facebook messaging.
Talking, talking, talking.
Talking, talking, talking.
Finally, all of us left left the place at 10pm. I didn't go off with my secondary school friends, but my polytechnic friends instead. We were supposed to go to East Coast Park for the Leonids meteor shower event. But last minute, we were still uncertain to go because of the really cloudy skies.
And with that, I shall leave that part of the blogging in another post :)
The End!

Oh ya, something extra to mention :D
My uncle and aunt were on the newspapers and TV news on 26th Nov. They were on Straits Time front page! Well, you can read about it here and here. Really glad that they are alright now and also, this shows that love is so great! One of the sentences was bold on the newspaper and it was, "Because I love her..."
