where should i start about my 18 birthday..? well i pampered myself by going to watch step up 2: The Streets on Tuesday (It's cheaper to watch movies on Tuesdays here) with Derk Wen. The movie was fab and it had been a very nice day. We went to Albert House to take a peep at his room (and gosh, u wouldn't wanna know what i found out there: his room is so much neater than mine) then sorta took a stroll at the Carlton Gardens and we talked.

Dad sent me my birthday present on Wednesday morning via e-mail. He drew me this really beautiful card and scanned the front cover onto the pc and sent it to me. He must have took hours to have completed it. This is the first birthday that they're not around to celebrate it with me. I know how they must have felt. I wanna thank mum and dad here, for bringing me to this colourful world. And please dont worry, i promise i will be brave. Am i nothing but? hahaha. I know that they bought Lam Mee to celebrate with me too, yesterday. thatz very sweet, mum, dad. =)

Then on Wednesday night, i tried to surprise the guys (i dont literally mean just the guys, but u get what i mean) by cooking blueberry pancakes. I wouldn't say it was much of a success at first, in the sense of the appearance. And Xin Ying was the first one who tasted it because she wanted to go to bed early. Luckily, Natasha has had some experience in making crepes and she taught me the right way to do it and borrowed me her pan, which is more suitable for cooking pancakes. Everyone gathered i the kitchen after that and we had a really good time decorating the pancakes with choc sauce and moose and strawberries. Everyone was having fun. Isaac licked his plate clean afterwards. hahaha. Then Isaac and Wei Tong demonstrated how much they could suck their stomachs in. Trust me, you wouldnt wanna know how far they can go. haha. Then they tried to carry each other and all of us had a good laugh. I was really relieved that everyone has enough sense than to try to carry me :P if your get what i mean.

On Thursday morning i was really bored so not gonna go into that. Anyway, I had some real fun at the gym at Bourke Street at the evening. My arms ache now. hahaha. And i joined the guys in watching Prison Break after i'm home and everything. At their first 'snack break' someone brought in the choc donuts and double choc cake. (That's what we usually do, u know, get snacks to share while watching a movie) Then all of a sudden Isaac and Nic came in with this super duper delicious choc mud cake and choc muffins, with loads and loads of beautifully lit candles (18, now that i've counted them). And everyone started singing the Happy Birthday song. For a split second i was a bit confused at whose birthday we are actually celebrating. Then i realised it was me. I really was, and still am, touched. This is like the most chocolaty birthday i've ever had. Choc mud cake (the birthday cake), choc donuts, choc muffins, choc swiss roll, double choc chip cake. I hugged everyone cos i really didnt know what to say except 'Thank you's. We took lots of picture of everyone and of course, the choc products laid in front of us before we started to get big helpings of everything. It was really a great night. Prison Break was as good as ever too.

And finally, to Prash: It's been a year since u've designed this blog for me. Thanks for keeping the 17 year old me in this blog, always. When i turn 40 or something (and start having wrinkles), i think i will tell everyone that at least, im still 17, in this very blog. =) you are a great friend and i want you to know that. Deb too, thanks for remembering :)

Love,
