mah 21st partayyyyyyyyyy

Phew...wat a nite..I hv recovered and am now back on track wif work :(...booo

but last nite was amazing, i haven't had so much fun in...like a century!

I had the most awesome 21st berfday surprise planned by the master of perfection/organisation = Sheila Su Borstelmann!!!(in collabo wif mun and the old folks) I LOVED it! Every bit of it. Hehe... i'm still in shock.

when i got home dat day everything was dark...i thot the kids wld be wandering ard playing basketball or something...

it was funi dat there were so many cars and yet it was so QUIET and DARK!

the moment i got in...i freakin got the shock of my life...everybody yelling surprise and happie berfday and...oh gosh..i'm still overwhelmed. seeing my mum, pops, sheila, mun...naomi at the corner, jo...and ash in my face...i couldn't believe it!! I had no idea wat to say, the boy's been telling me he needed his amplifier fr my place and we had to get it cos he had a gig and his fren (ALBERT! baik ah, Albert!) was goin 2 pick him up fr my place...

me: so wat's this gig for?

boy: I dunno

me: huh? wat do u mean u dunno? u dunno wat sort of crowd u're playin for? like is it a wedding or sum church concert...?

boy: I dunno! my fren din tell me...they jus asked me to prepare 1 or 2 songs to sing solo...

me: who's ur fren and wat songs r u singing?

boy: er...proli 10 to 12 songs...his name is Albert, and i was deciding between Angels and Yesterday

Baik ah ...albert.

if u must noe...i wasn't suspicious of his so-called 'melville' gig...cos who knoes rite? but...oh man!!

there were loads and loads of homemade spring rolls, fried chicken wings, curry and mamak mee (courtesy of mum and pops! pops fried the spring rolls and mamak mee wif a broken left thumb :( ) ...yes, it kinda reminded me of my 13th birthday ...onli wif booze!(courtesy of sheila su...who onli does shots!) and without 'Hot Stuff' blarin fr a stereo

speakin' of booze, josh and benn (both 11 and 13) were the appointed bartenders for the nite, yes, i kid u not, Benn now knoes how to do a 'blowjob' and tequila shots. At one point, Josh was like...hey, should we try? and Benn was like..yeah, why not?

HIghlights

1) Havin' a tequila shot with pops...hehe, he was so drunk he forgot to lick, sip, suck and instead he...lip, suck then sipped!

2) the discovery of Benn havin' pubic hair! ok, truly unnecessary in this space but...was a highlight cos dat BOY is growin up!!

3) Kent (Olsen) dancing to "Fu*k da police" tae-bo style...and nearly slipped on mum's carpet..drunken and all.

4) Sheila cheh doin an aerobics dance to Elvis. Cheh, seriously!! u r so not cool! hehe, kooky woman!

5) Karl (Borstelmann, Sheila's hubby) doin a Mr Bean also to Elvis. (pissed drunk he was!)

6) my shayang (irawan) serenading the 'folks' wif 'Yesterday' on his guitar whilst pops tried to entertain my frens wif his harmonica!!! haha...kesian la...Anish was lookin at pops wif his mouth opened!

7) me, finalli able to dance wif my boy! even if it's to 'all shook up' and 'jailhouse rock'...

ok, am runnin outta time, gotta get back to my 100% research essay! Thanks so much to those who cameeeeeeeeee....hugs. Will post more on the bday session!!!

over and out!

burberry prorsum

currently listening to: Consequence by Incubus (under shite playlist)

wants to: smoke pot, alter then wear the ferragamos, buy Green&Black's organic dark chocolate, organise a break-in to Chanel for dat clover pendant (yes mun, i saw it and i LOVE it! and no! my clover tatt does not look like fungus...or does it?)...and fly to the moon (yes, literally! my moon of course...with lovely white linen and feather doonas)

currently doin: my bloody PR international research essay (hv less than 2 days to complete 3000 wrds) on governmental relations in china and crisis management of the SARS epidemic (yeah...i've moved fr strategic value of the malacca straits to china's masterplan to destroy the US to Importance of government relations in china to...this!!! god damn! i hope i don't fucking change again, i dun hv freakin time!)

was woken up at 9 by the boy...seemingly in pain (emotional), was concerned but half asleep, so tried to comfort...then...

Boy: her mother is here

u noe wat? i am cursed! how can this be?! no, seriously, it is too much of a coincidence!

Boy: ok, we have a problem, her mother is here and she cannot know that u r here.

Here's the PLan:

we will create a diversion and you can escape.

Me: ahh...i see, when does the diversion commence? (i need to plan my escape u see)

ok, seriously, i cannot take anymore of this..i want peace! i am not cut out for the late nites, for the sneaking ard, for the suspense of bein caught...i am a simple girl in search of ....a good night's sleep.

had to wake poor mun up as was late for group meeting and needed to shower...sori woman!am forever thankful...

btw, showerin under the waterfall was the funniest thing(literally,cos it was ticklish!)...i dunno how u do it!

again i am a refugee...i have thus far showered at

1) lin's place - am forever grateful for dat late nite shower

2) mun's place - like showerin under a waterfall cos the showerhead was taken off

3) Both of the boy's places

ok, the onli time i had to move ard so much was in Dec '04, Jan '05 and Feb '05...and dat was cos i was travellin', but i am now at one place! how many times can i house hop? i've left my mango showergel at lin's place, facial wash at the boy's place, oh and i even hv a toothbrush at lin's place! (compliments of Lin! thx babeh!)

also the lack of internet at home is a hassle...aargh. such is my state...i am thankful to lesportsac for havin dat travel bag on sale for it has now become my staple and where would i be w/o my laptop.

Ash has grown so much. I cannot believe she is 7! she's still the tiniest cutest lil thing. I was lookin thru my pic book yesterday and i felt a thug in my heart wen i came to her...and she's lost 2 of her teeth! and ...horrors, she found out dat the toothfairy was actually her mum! ai ya. so sad. bt it doesn't bother her i guess, she still gets 5 bucks per tooth.

Back to work...

listenin' to : I miss u by Incubus (again, am still on the shite playlist)

twisting innards -part2

yeah, it's dat TOTM again. and to top it off...I asked for a trim...and I got a chop.

scenario

Tiffy walks into the office.

Lin looks at Tiffy once, then...bursts out laughing!!!

Tiffy is a very understanding person and knoes wat Lin is laffing abt...

she accepts dat she officially is a mushroom head!

she accepts dat her hair looks no different to her boy's when he takes off his cap. and swears never to laff at him again wen he takes his cap off.

she accepts she will be laughed at by close loving frens...altho close loving frens aren't meant to laff n r suppose to be supportive and encouraging.

she will be telling the rest of the world, she wanted this hairstyle, it looks fabulous on her and she got it from Tony & Guy..principal hairstylist!

nevermind the too short fringe, nevermind dat it is not proportioned, nevermind dat the left side is longer and the right or dat she hasn't washed it so dat it looks longer...she cringes to think of wat it may look like after shower...

sob sob sob ( dats 4 barrels of tears for u)

5 inches of tiffy's hair has been chopped off.

she is sinking into a pit of misery where lies the remains of her ...glorious mane! and thursday the bin will be cleared...and so will the glorious mane...sob sob sob (yet another 4 barrels of tears)

Sigh...I dislike but I accept. Nothing can save it...

swamped..i am

The Golden Cord

I don't have it with many people, onli a selected few (yes, mun u r part of the selected few). And for that I am grateful (omg...am starting to talk like the boy). But seriously, it's amazing how we get along and understand each other. Or maybe we're just patient.

For some reason, I'm missing the boy terribly, I see him almost everyday...and yet, it doesn't seem enuf. And it doesn't help dat my brain feels as if it's so bloody compressed i hardly hv room for a fantasy. And when I'm with him, I'm still thinking about bloody work. What shits me the most is the amount of crap I have due...ok, honestly, ISC is fucking up my studies. After attending meetings and following up on the executives, I'm exhausted. Totally. Grrr... there are not enuf hours in a day and endurance in the body. i hate deadlines.

Listening: to Miami by Counting Crows

Dreading: Dat freakin $ 130 lesportsac bag!!...am so screwed.

Wishing: for a kiss and a hug from the boy

Wanting: more kisses and hugs...& to read Sophie Dahl's The man with the dancing eyes (dammit la, i dun want dat bag!!! remix-brrr, strawberries with green background - double brrr, bright pink hearts - triple brrr, messenger bag - Aargh!!!)

Dior mascara (Ultimate eyes) is totally not recommended!! Ultimate indeed! I teared for a few seconds (mostly out of exhaustion and frustration and...depression!) and droplets of black liquid starts running down my cheeks. For heaven's sake, who creates non-water resistant mascara in this era! Dior, evidently. Am sticking to cheapo brands like Loreal...and Max Factor. They're water PROOF and extends the lashes way moreeee. Ok, whether or not it's good for the lashes and skin I dunno la...

OK, I better freakin finish writing up my target media section. I absolutely despise this freakin unit. Seriously! I can't even sit thru the dumb ass lecture most of the time.

i've realized sumthin (yes, i actuali have an open mind and do realize...certain things), once u say sumthin like, oh yes, i'm meeting my bf later, ppl's perception of u jus totallie changes. You can literally see the swift change of perception, kind of like, ahhh, she is not a loser! She has a life and a bf!

see, i've always been boyfrenless and am prolly a prude, an introvert and a loner. yea, so all these equals loser. but now, i can say i hv a bf and poof!...no longer; prude; introvert; and loner. My status has been...ahem, upgraded. ie. i have a life and social skills and fun.

sigh, jus cos i'm involved in heaps of stuff doesn't mean i dun knoe how to have fun! I do!! i reallie do!! please believe me...won't u believe me?i reallie do. *rolls eyes*

no, but seriously, get off my case, i dun give a shite whether u think i'm all of the above or watever, jus dun freakin use it against me.

rite, i shall continue wif my dumb ass media strategy assignment now.
