For today, I'd like to dwell a little deeper into my meticulous thought processes, just to try and bring the inner writer out. I'm walking on thin ice.
*plays deep thought provoking songs*
And so we go..
Though before that, a short update! I've been heading over to Monash for some self-study sessions, as I've had for the several past holidays. Can't say that I've made much progress but being in the position I am now, I'm banking on whatever intrinsic motivation left within me to push me that extra mile. Otherwise, I'd fall flat and almost certainly, if not absolute, that I will fail this course. Seeing how I am not ready to bid everyone adieu, it's paramount that I at least try to compensate for the amount of slacking I've unwittingly let myself indulge in only a few weeks ago.
Oh! Had some friends come over for lunch too yesterday. Itianne and Mun! Met up with them, Marcus and Jo for lunch over at Lunch Box, Monash Residence. Felt like forever since we've met up like this. Only one among them that I've seen lately is Mun, my darling little sister. (: Other than her, it felt like it's been forever. Did some catching up as well as gossiping. It's been too long. O:) Seems that no matter where you go or study, everyone faces the same few problems. Regardless of course.
Meh. Still, felt good. (:
Now, time for some monologuing.
Today felt like another one of those days, a day where you would want nothing more than to be left alone in silence. There's an allure that lies only in solitude, one that is unexplainable. Perhaps that is but my point of view, as it's always been. Every moment wasted away in static deterioration is time that can never be replaced.
Standing at the balcony, it felt like another one of those moments where you realize something. I stared into the distance, 6 floors above the ground. A short elevation, that may be true, yet it's enough to see and truly take in the vastness of the world. Reality sinks in, for every person is but a speck of dust on a giant canvas. Each painting a unique representation of oneself to blend into the bigger picture.
Frankly speaking, I'm looking forwards to the exams, as unready as I am for any of them. But this much I can say, when I sit down in that cold, sub-zero, glacial like hall.. I feel like I have purpose. However short that moment may be.
Cherish every second of life, for it is the only one you have.
Well, I'm back! The not so fun me that is. Ever so boring. Ah well. :D Done with that rant. Sheesh. Nowhere near as deep as I'd like it to sound though, something just doesn't add up. But that's a problem for another day.
The clock is ticking, time's wasting away, and yet I feel like I've moved no farther than where I begun. A jumbled mess of blunders, slip ups, and the inability to express the depth of my emotions.
Think of it as a puzzle box, where the pieces are interchanged ever so often. For that's how I've learnt to write. Today's agenda, finishing up Online Calculations.

Doodle #140 : Kick Start
The mid-semester break is upon us. :)
Been planning this outing for some weeks now. T'was a good reason to plan it in advance, for things never seem to go as planned. No matter, thing's ran rather smoothly. For those who could make it.
Drove over to uni first to meet up with Jean and Adeline. We all still had reports to hand in due that day itself. Such model students, aren't we? Nevertheless, managed to finish up all our answers just past 11 and handed it in before Jamie joined us.
OFF THE PYRAMID!
The outing was actually divided into two portions, and each had a seperate crowd that'd attend. (somewhat). Bottom line is, two different events. Thou shalt not question my dictation of thee mother tongue. I've no idea what I'm saying right now. Then again, I don't almost 83% of the time I speak.
Let's not get sidetracked, headed straight for the cinema. Moment we got up to the cinema area, saw that the whole place was under renovation, save the popcorn booth. Glanced over to our left and managed to spot the temporary booth set up to address purchases and whatnot. T'was a pretty cramped up line. Then again, it's not like we had any other choice. I only wonder what would happen on peak hours during the weekends if they had to keep using that booth. Rofl. Plus, they were running the purchases through what looked like ancient computers. Then again, I think they did so in the normal ticket counters when they were open? My memory's a blurry haze.
Anyways.
Picked THIS movie.
BAHAHAHA.
I've watched the first movie years ago. My heart leaped when I saw the trailer for this movie and I knew I just had to watch it. Rowan Atkinson's portrayal of his character was nothing short of awesome. The amount of laughter that he brings to the screen.
I'll try my best not to write out any spoilers as I go through this.
So the story begins with MI7 trying to locate Johnny English who has been missing for 5 years after a horrible mishap during his previous assignment in Mozambique. Cut scene, and it appears that he's been in the Tibetian mountainshiding out training with the monks, learning their ways of life, blablabla. "Mind must control the body" and "make hard what is soft" or something like that. It's pretty hilarious how these teachings come into play later on towards the ending of the movie.
That and how Kate Sumner (played by Gillian Anderson), a behavioural psychologist studies him is just so entertaining. This time round, English gets a sidekick as well, a man known as Agent Tucker.
Trying to unravel the plot to kill the Chinese Premier, there are many ups and downs throughout the movie. You'll go "oohhh" at how easy English makes it look to hunt down the assassins sent to kill him, having been trained by the monks. "With age comes wisdom", before going "HAHAHA" at how he slips up at the last minute. Utter joy to watch.
Overall, I'd say it's the absolute perfect stress buster.
On a side note, ate half a bucket of salt while watching the movie. LOL. Maybe I laughed a bit too hard. Even Jean could hear my laughter, sorry Jamie. Haha. Low activation energy yo'
Having said that... Money well spent.
Strolled around Pyramid for the rest of the day while waiting for the others to show up. Jean left to pick up her sister then. :'( Went for a snack at Ko Hyang (I think that's how it's spelt), recommended by Jamie as we waited for Jhii.
And so we go!
Walked and walked, and found the place. Paid and went into our designated room. Bahaha. Okay that sounded really disturbing if you only read that one line. LOLOL.
Anywho.
SING K ORHH. First time for me. LOL I iz one sad bugger. Right before we started, Joshiee came in. Like finally, his wish came true. HAHAA.
Can you guess which music video this still is from? It may be blurry but I'm pretty sure the lyrics are perfectly visible. :)
Chug chug chug.
I'm a Barbie girllllllll~
The main star of the day.
And Jhii.
We weren't exactly the best of singers, HAHAH. But it's the company that counts. :) So long as you thoroughly enjoy yourself.
Nom nom nom on the buffet dinner. The pasta was pretty good. The crust thing on it tasted and looked like a pizza topping. I iz happy. Took so much of the dessert, cupcakes, chocolate cakes.
Completely devoured their potato wedges. Damn I need to exercise more now.
What happened that night shall stay between us. Heh. :) I never thought I'd ever become that hyper. Though only 2 people witnessed it, 1 rivaling, if not exceeding my hyperness. :)
Kinoc, out.

Doodle #139
I'm back! Though there isn't really much to be said.
There's this sense of instant gratification that can only be achieved through impulsive wants. Specifically, impulsive buys. In retrospect, I wouldn't call this a particularly impulse driven buy. It's practical, :D Just something I stumbled upon on Wednesday. I think I'm starting to change my colour code when it comes to dressing. I seemed to be attracted to brighter colours now. Beats wearing black all the time. So depressing. *sigh* Haha!
Results were out for the Drug Delivery written test as well as oral presentations. I can't say I'm too happy with my marks. Not since I took the time and effort to prep up in advance to both. All I can do is sigh, I guess. Can't really complain anyway. I've still a sense of complacency when it comes to my studies. To date, I doubt I've ever really given any exam or assignment my all, my 100% effort. The only person I can blame is myself. I won't say anything about the written examination as I've prepared and somewhat cascaded through the questions. When it comes to the oral though, I'm more than disappointed with what I scored. Especially since I've performed much worse in semester 1 yet scoring much higher with that previous abysmal performance. I just want to know where I went wrong, tell me.
Honest mistakes all but riddle my life. Simple slips of the tongue, and other much bigger mistakes are only a fraction of my daily theatrics. I'd just like to reassert that I sincerely had no idea what that shade meant, nor was it the one I had originally intended. I should do a thorough background check beforehand now. :/ Been bashing myself up lately, perhaps a bit too much. I tend to be so much more critical when it comes to self-evaluation.
That aside, happier thoughts! Yeah, finally bought what I mentioned earlier in this post. HEHHH.
That and I attended LifeGen's 2nd service. Stayed back after classes since there was no point heading home in heavy traffic and returning to the Sunway area in equally or worse traffic several hours later. The drill was the same. Show up early, watched Jean rehearse for her performance, then sat through it.
Today's session was about making choices. Every single day of your life, you'll find yourself at crossroads, having to choose between which path to take. Each choice leads you down a different path, and in turn affect what other choices that may crop up in your life further down the road. Consequently, you start a whole chain of events just stemming from what may have come across as a simple decision. Some are temporary, others permanent. Hence, always think something through before you follow through with it.
Choices are essentially projections of your inner motivations, so to speak. They are directly linked and influenced by the priorities you've set for yourself in life. Be it wealth, friendship, work, family, love, or even yourself, you've a set of inner motivations (ie. intristic factors) that propel you through everyday life. It's just a matter of finding out what they are, and scheduling your time according to those motivations. (:
Had a small activity too! A short quiz to help determine your priorities. According to the quiz, it would seem that mine are (in order):
Love --> Family --> Wealth --> Friends --> Work
In decreasing priority.
Somewhat true I would say, save how it suggests that I neglect work (be it studies or a job) to be last.
But then again, it was but a quiz. (: Had some pretty interesting discussions then too with the rest of the groupmates we were seperated into. Heh.
Speaking of which, I've a report to finish up. But that's a worry for tomorrow. (:

Doodle #138
Since I haven't exactly done this in quite a while, I'll try again. Last piece was over a month ago already.
This one was done using a method I came across in a book. Note the initial letters, though ignore the first stanza in terms of structure. (:
The flame smolders,
Crackling amidst the silence,
Ashes of yellow glisten in the moonlight.
Attenuate the lust for familiarity,
Blurring the lines of realism,
Coveted desires enveloped by a shroud,
Doubts of one besotted.
Every moment inches by,
Fueled by the longing for assurance,
Gratifying.
Hide behind the veil,
Impart exuberance,
Jest in reverberation.
A kaleidoscope of thoughts,
Leaves much to be desired,
My mindset is but a jumble,
Narrowing paths.
A brilliance that outshines all,
Rekindles sanguinity.
Crimson was the flame,
That lingers for more.
Okay so it wasn't that bad. Least I managed to keep the flow there (somewhat), given the constraints (which I followed up to N). Can't really find a theme to write on. I haven't exactly been in a writing-condusive mood lately. Ironically, that's a good sign. Means my thoughts aren't as scattered as they once were.

No pictures this time, sorry haha. :P
Well, I'd say my weekend was reasonably well spent. Visited a church on Saturday after a day of studying. Stoned a bit the day after though. So yeah.
If I recall correctly, I think the church was Whispering Hope. It was located somewhere in Damansara, I kinda forgot which one. There's just so many Damansaras in the area. Kota Damansara, Damansara Jaya, and whatnot. Despite the overwhelming number of them, I can't seem to recall any of the more common districts. My preconscious state of mind isn't really working that well now.
It was Mun's, Joshua's, and Rachel's church. :)
Drove over to uni to study for the day, as with most Saturdays. Least it's a productive way to spend the time. Met Joshua in the tutorial room again. Was waiting for Jean to join us when we found out she couldn't make it. -.- Bahh. So we pressed on.
Lunch at LB again. :O
When it was time (roughly 4:30pm), walked over to Lagoonview for Joshua to get ready. Got turned away at the guardhouse, again. So I left and waited for him and Mun at the bus stop. He took faster than I had initially expected. Transport arrived soon after and Mun appeared too! We were brought to the place by Uncle Tony. :D
Reached earlier than the event was scheduled to start. So we just sat around. Mingled. You know. The usual newcomer thing. Haha. Met a fellow pharmacist to be, Vincent. Rachel joined us soon after.
After a bit, time to dig in! Nom nom nom, anti-vegetarian food ftw. :D Bahahaha.
Before the actual event begun, we played a game where we were given stickers with a name written on it. It could be a celebrity or an item, and it would be stuck onto either our forehead or back. The trick was that you can't see it, but others could. And yeah, you guessed it! You have to guess what or who you were. The speaker got "Donut". HAHAHA. T'was entertaining watching him guess who he was. Joshua got Harry Potter. And he begun to show his 'scar' on his eyebrow. Well, it matched. Somewhat. LOL. I got Merlin. Wth. Haha could never have guessed it. -.-
We were shown a video screening, and then broke up into 2 groups for discussion. Can't say I remember much of the whole thing, but it was lively the moment things started to kick in and the pace picked up.
That bout sums it up.
Sunday. I remember it was raining in the morning, and Maroon 5's Sunday Morning started playing in my head. Can't remember the day, at all. :/
Which brings us to today! Super hectic schedule. 4 hours back-to-back lectures before a 2 hour tutorial. We had a 1 hour break in between but that was cut down to 45 minutes since we ended lectures late. :(
Just got home from Samuel's farewell party. Pizza Hut + CC, just like the old times. Take care in the UK. Thou haz cutlass umbrella nao.
That's it. I need sleep. Badly.

Time for the complete update.
It's Malaysia Day people! Happy Malaysia Day! I'm not exactly an avid enthusiast of national celebrations but I am one of the public holidays that come in tow.
Malaysia. My home. (:
Seeing it was a public holiday and whatnot, decided to spend it NOT studying. Heh. By watching a movie of course! Elaine Y ajak-ed Joshiee and I out to Sunway Pyramid for the day.
So I hauled myself over to Sun-U to pick em up first. Drove along, turned the corner into Sunway Uni and instantly spotted a hottie walking along. LOL. Actually shouted out "oi". Haha. Hi Itianne! :P
Talk about impeccable timing.
That aside, picked up Joshiee and Elaine and went off to Pyramid.
Time for some epic movie goodness.
BAHH.
Yeah, I guess the picture speaks for itself. Won't even go into the details.
D:
And that's how I spent my holiday.
Kinoc, out. :D (super lazy post la tiz)

Sorry guys, it's been awhile. 4 days in fact!
Guess I'm losing my mojo for blogging again. :/ Hence, to make it up to you, I'll include PICTURES in this post! :D
I've been spending quite the number of Saturdays in uni, studying. Yeah, that's how I spend my weekends these days, buried in books. Though they're actually a pretty fun way to pass time, thanks to my fellow study mates, Joshua and Jean. Always providing much needed comic relief after a day of vigorous (mostly) studying. :D
I wouldn't say that we have the most productive sessions though. Far from it in fact. *sigh* Hahaha, though their antiques prompted me to edit a video I took that day. Made me revisit video editing. Maybe I should take that up as a hobby. Haha. Since I'm almost always the candid photog and video taker. :)
Though the cafeteria isn't exactly open on weekends, the only choice we have is LB. They have the most awesome take-out box. :D Indomee + Mochacino ftw.
Then there were the standard lectures on weekdays. I think it was Monday when I walked into class, and instantly saw this person:
d-.-b
I literally (not figuratively) stoned in place. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was the first time in two whole semesters I've seen him dressed in that manner. He stole my style (main point), though that may be a good thing since it can mean my influence is finally seeping in. LOL.
Then of course, the usual classtime break entertainment session. Dance time! Video's with Dave. :D Roflmao. My frienddddddddddddd, and Joshua led the way. :O
The stressors for the week though? Definitely lab sessions.
Carefully weighing out the needed mass and whatnot. Solubility experiments are always a pain to execute. More so when it came down to calculations and discussions. The whole notion of dissolving x amount of drug in y amount of solvent still baffles me. *shrugs*
Gathered and listening to Dr. Wong's words of wisdom for the experiment. She's one of my favourite lecturers no doubt. Well.. One whose lectures I seem to understand pretty well. Hence, yeah. Her edited lecture slides are much better than the ever so bland Aussie slides (rofl).
Our pretty pH papers. I think they are just so cool. Much better than your average red to blue and blue to red papers. Assortment of colours! LOL. If only I could see colours better. Bah.
Jhii arranged them. :D
MOJOJOJO!
Yeah, my class has a Mojo Jojo, and all 3 powerpuff girls. So there's never any lack of entertainment.
All in all, Pharmacy's just awesome. :D

I wouldn't say that we have the most productive sessions though. Far from it in fact. *sigh* Hahaha, though their antiques prompted me to edit a video I took that day. Made me revisit video editing. Maybe I should take that up as a hobby. Haha. Since I'm almost always the candid photog and video taker. :)
Though the cafeteria isn't exactly open on weekends, the only choice we have is LB. They have the most awesome take-out box. :D Indomee + Mochacino ftw.
Then there were the standard lectures on weekdays. I think it was Monday when I walked into class, and instantly saw this person:
d-.-b
I literally (not figuratively) stoned in place. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was the first time in two whole semesters I've seen him dressed in that manner. He stole my style (main point), though that may be a good thing since it can mean my influence is finally seeping in. LOL.
Then of course, the usual classtime break entertainment session. Dance time! Video's with Dave. :D Roflmao. My frienddddddddddddd, and Joshua led the way. :O
The stressors for the week though? Definitely lab sessions.
Carefully weighing out the needed mass and whatnot. Solubility experiments are always a pain to execute. More so when it came down to calculations and discussions. The whole notion of dissolving x amount of drug in y amount of solvent still baffles me. *shrugs*
Gathered and listening to Dr. Wong's words of wisdom for the experiment. She's one of my favourite lecturers no doubt. Well.. One whose lectures I seem to understand pretty well. Hence, yeah. Her edited lecture slides are much better than the ever so bland Aussie slides (rofl).
Our pretty pH papers. I think they are just so cool. Much better than your average red to blue and blue to red papers. Assortment of colours! LOL. If only I could see colours better. Bah.
Jhii arranged them. :D
MOJOJOJO!
Yeah, my class has a Mojo Jojo, and all 3 powerpuff girls. So there's never any lack of entertainment.
All in all, Pharmacy's just awesome. :D

This post is just for the sake of updating. Sorry about that. :P
It's Sunday again. Though I couldn't care less. I was never one for the holidays, since I hardly ever left the house. Never had mates to go out with anyway, everyone has their own agendas to attend to.
That aside, the assignment week is finally over! Finally done with my oral presentation. I was rather disappointed with my overall performance though. Maybe I should reduce the emphasis on memorizing my lines and the key words and instead focus on the way I carried myself during speeches. Sure, I had dotted every line in my mind before it was my turn yet somehow it didn't add up right.
I was in the "zen" mode before the session was scheduled to start. Rather calmed and relaxed. Controlled breathing. :P We kick started about 5-10 minutes behind time but that wouldn't have made a difference. I was second in line. First up was Kuok Liang. Then the nerves made their way back and struck home.
My turn was up, and my knees just buckled.
Bahh.
Somehow or rather I managed to stay composed and miraculously managed to retain my coherence. I probably blasted through the slides like a bullet train. The expressions of my colleagues showed that. I had swamped them with a large amount of information in such a short period of time. Such a fine line between time constraints and information depth. Perhaps my worry was unfounded, there was a plus-minus 2 minutes gap allowed for each presentation and we weren't really timed to begin with. I could only shrug meekly.
On the bright side, it shows that I've done my research well. (A) That and Jean said I spoke clearly. Yes! I managed to save myself from utter disaster. Least they could hear what I was saying. I didn't reach the standard I had set but I'll better myself the next time. I really miss my old group mates. Only they've seen me at my absolute best. Hehh. (:
I miss my EAL/D classes, and even my lecturer then. More than anything, I miss my college gang. :')
Oops, I've strayed off topic. Coming back...
Spent the weekend studying. It's safe to say that my social life is pretty much non-existent. I'll attend this week's club meetings. I need preoccupation. Bah. Spent the afternoon editing a short video I took over the weekend. Not the best of efforts but it came together pretty nicely. (:
So that's it. I guess.
Kinoc, out.

From my blogpost count in my profile, this would be post number 651. Amazing how much I've written so far. Little ramblings denoting moments in my life, some significant, others forgettable. But it's the things we go through that shape who we are today, no?
Drug Delivery MCQ quiz is finally over. That's an entire 10% on the line. Frankly speaking, the amount of studying / preparation I did over the past two weeks ridiculously exceeded what was expected of us in this test. One glance at the paper and I just went "wth". I don't mean to come across as cocky or anything but I'm just being straightforward. Still, I managed to slip up on roughly 2 questions, being my usual self.
Not planning to care about it anymore. Time to focus on the task at hand.
Oral Presentation.
I've done my slides, I've rehearsed, I've timed myself. 8 minutes give or take 20s. I hope everything will go smoothly tomorrow. I want to bring out that part of me that was way back in AUSMAT. Composed, confident and concise. Not full-on freight train ploughing through my slides like butter at the speed of light. Not the way I went down in flames for semester 1. I only got through then with sheer luck (maybe a shred of sympathy). I'm determined to make this one right. :)
Studies aside, I feel really lost at times. I fall too fast, too hard. I'm not letting my emotions get the better of me. Wade it out, before diving straight in. I'll play the bystander for now.
Patience is the key, 'cause I'm in over my head.

Doodle #131
Just a quick one for today. Technically I've written half this post already a few days prior to today but I never really finished writing it. So now I'm going to complete the post.
For the sake of updating this mundane page of mine. :)
I'll try writing again, to compose another piece. Note that this is done wholly in a rather cheery mood. It may lack the usual deep tone in my other pieces. I need to learn how to access that part of myself without the standard catalyst (some level of depression). But that's me for you. :)
A sense of quietude,
Tranquility is but a fleeting gratification,
A need to belong,
Outweighs lucid judgment.
Inexplicable was the allure,
Questions left hanging,
Shrugged off by a snicker,
Shackled by the inability to respond.
Intimate at times,
Distant during others.
Okay so it wasn't that bad. But it still isn't good.
Irony can be really a pain at times. Situational irony if I recall correctly. I remember there being 3 kinds of irony but I can't seem to recall the other one, nor am I even sure am I referring to the right one at the moment. But to watch a situation unfold with the players oblivious to the truth feels odd at times. When you're asked something you can't answer, it only adds to it.
I suppose this was a good break from studying, time I shouldn't be wasting spending here. I have to make the most of what I have (starting to sound philosophical) yet the irony is I never ever stick to what I say. Ever.
I can't wait till this week ends. Niece (Watson) coming down this coming weekend. Like finally! Gonna play around with her DSLR again. The joy. :)

Doodle #130 : Ipoh-ians
A quick one for today, to recap on yesterday. A day that only comes once a year, and how I spent it. :)
I woke up early, roughly the usual time I got up on the average day. Spent the morning just like every other morning, and left for uni at 11.30AM. Why? To print notes and exercises and do some light reading. LOL. Pretty sad way to spend the day don't you think? I ran into John, Stanley and Voon at the library as I was printing my stuff. Haha.
Then again, why kill time at uni?
Went to pick up the Ipoh gang at 12.30. (: Mun Mun, Marcus & Joshua.
"EH. NOOO. NOT AGAIN" Camera shy. Hahahaa. :P
Drove to SS15 for lunch, chu yuk fun! :) It's been awhile since I last ate there, and wanted intro the place to them (cept Joshiee cause he's been there). Caught up with Mun and Marc, it's been awhile since we had lunch together as a group.
Shared some stories, heard some others. Some funny, some outright disturbing. D: Case and point. Only goes to prove my point.
In line with all our SS15 escapades..
SNOWFLAKES! (:
But oh gosh, the prices there are just ridiculous now. RM7 for the bestseller. Of course, they're a tasty treat but that's maybe a bit too much to pay for. It's even on par with Sea Amber Jelly now. Perhaps I should have ordered that instead. But well, prices everywhere are shooting up. ): Sigh. Whai oh whai must we pay so much for something we love so much. LOL. Once in a while is still okay larh actually.
Joshiee and Whore Bro.
Mun. :)
Wanted to visit Joshiee and Marc's place at Lagoonview after dessert. But we were stopped at the guardhouse asking for a memo or smth. Couldn't get in, so I just dropped them off and headed home. Security's there pretty tight, wonder what they thought we were going to do. The guard was eyeing me on the way in and back out. -.-
Came home, STUDIED. Yes, pretty sad routine. Hahahaha.
Finally visited the Tutti Frutti at Kota Kemuning. It's funny how I've never been there since it opened. I mean, I literally live in the general area. Mehh. Spent Rm14 for some frozen yogurt. Pretty delicious, I have to admit. Yummm.
That pretty much sums it up. Yeah. I should get back to studying now. LOL.

Doodle #129 : Surprise!
First and foremost. THANKS GUYS, I less than 3 all of you. Heh.
It was the single most touching gift I've ever received in my life. (: I had expected something just not what actually happened. Lectures had just finished and I was packing my stuff when I looked up and saw Dave's face, eating in class, on the projector screen mumbling incoherently. Needless to say, I was shocked and I thought my lecturer had opened the wrong file on the computer and wished she would close the video faster. But I recognised the shirt he had on, it was Monday. Which means...
A short while later, she adjusted the sound so it could be heard throughout the class, and restarted the video. And I got it.
"For Kin Hoe"
I instantly /facepalm-ed. Out of sheer shock actually.
Hearing each one of you wish me, it's something that really moved me. (: Btw I'm only 19 for those who wished me happy 20th. LOL. I'm still young! :D
The most shocking part was seeing Itianne and Mun on the video. I just gasped, shouted out, aloud. Yes I did. That was the degree of shock that hit me. LOL.
Of course, my whore brother in all his glory appeared too. (: Even Elaine came on. Hahaha.
Thanks so much Joshua for the time and effort you took into making the video.
"So this is how it feels when someone makes you a specially dedicated video"
Video available on Facebook. :D
After the initial shock had worn off, I just sat there trying to take it all in. I think I collapsed onto the table. LOL. /facedesk. Awesomeness at it's best. Thanked everyone again for their wishes and gathered for lunch. Left uni with Tina, Joshua and Melody. Tina drove us all to pyramid as she insisted I don't drive them for the day. :P
This parking lot just looks so shady. :/
Horrrrrr!! ;)
On the way out, we stumbled across this hatch. Curiosity overcame Tina and she rushed to open it. Outside, a long drop. D: *close hatch*
What now?
Tony Roma's! Yep, they're actually treating me to lunch. Oh, I'm so touched la. *grabs tissue paper*
I had expected more to turn up halfway, but the 2 that did was certainly not on that mental list I envisioned. Itianne and Kah Mun dropped in outta the blue. I just went "GARHHH" I'm always so shocked to see them la. :)
Itianne's gift. (:
This is a pretty nice picture, despite the back lighting and stuff. I pro la. :D
After Jamie, Jean and Blondie came, we were also greeted by a little friend.
He's just so adorable! Sprinting across the floor from end to end.
It making some of us gasp, other scream, some shriek. Till it got squished and sent away to who knows where? ): I'll miss you, poor little guy. We ended up relocating to avoid it attacking us again (before it got caught by the staff).
It wasn't all that bad, cause of the little mouse disturbance, we got these, 1 for each table. :)
LAVA CHOC. Freakin' delicious dessert. Mouth watering. (: Chocolate overdose. I was drinking a Chocolate Milkshake. Heh.
Random photoshoot time!
Jamie. (: And you can see the side of Jean's head! :D
Melody "hot girl"! I just look odd here la.
Joshua and Jean's weird look streaks.
Determined not to be outdone in cuteness. XD
Group shot. The better one's with Melody. Shall wait for her to upload. :D
EDIT : Apparently while blockading the doorway to Tony Roma's, Elaine S saw me and called out my name. Sorry for completely ignoring you then, I couldn't hear you! ): Hahaha. *innocent shrug*
And so we head home.
I was never much of a birthday person but today was just a whole lotta love. (: Wheee. If only there was pool, the day'd be perfect. HAHA! And..
Thank you again, from the very bottom of my heart. (:
