The Earthquake that Rocked My 18th Birth-Week

SDC11930 A Cake-less Candle

Since this is a pathetic post without photos, I would be making this post a bit unique from the previous ones. Try browsing on names which appear in this post and see what happens.

Sunday (12th July 2009)

This year, I celebrated my birthday early with my parents. We went to Chilli’s at Mid Valley for lunch and that was what I’ve got, as shown in the photo above. Chilli’s was at least generous enough to offer a free ice-cream brownie to the birthday boy.

Next day was KTV at Neway in Subang Jaya. I was in the same room with Alex, Shan Lung, Kar Mun and Tien Jiun. Alex proved his enthusiasm on Transformers by shouting New Divide with Shan Lung. On the other hand, Tien Jiun portrayed his prowess in partially imitating Jay Chou’s rapping and adding his own rapping style into it while Kar Mun didn’t fail to disappoint him with her Jolin Tsai’s vocals. I was in Tank mode on that day because of his new songs at that time. The other VIP room was filled with the “insane” gang led by Siew Fen.

Tuesday (14th July 2009)

On my birthday eve, Boon Kuang celebrated my birthday with me. We went to Sunway Pyramid for the afternoon and caught one of the coolest movies in town which I also enjoyed most.

At night, I missed such a nice opportunity to have a Japanese Buffet Dinner with Tien Jiun, Kar Mun and her star brother, Kah Fai at Mount Kiara. This was due to the tuition which I am obligated to teach. But I am really overjoyed that Kah Fai sent me a birthday wish past midnight.

Wednesday (15th July 2009)

I spent the actual day giving tuition only. But I was touched by my student, Yee Lyn who played the birthday song on Mary’s piano just for me.

The night was the fun part for me. Shan Lung, Alex, Yew Wooi and Meng Jiun came to the Matahari clubhouse for swimming. Too bad Meng Jiun had tuition and he was forced to leave early.

After swimming, they surprised me with a string of events. We went to Subang’s Pizza Hut and had dinner over there. Then, I was taken to a night movie with and by them, Obsessed.

After the movie, their plan failed when one of the shops they intended to go was closed on that night. Subsequently, Shan Lung, the pitiful driver, had to take us to The Curve. However, the streets along those clubs were not lighted on that night, and many shops were not opened too. That’s a little unfortunate.

We also thought of watching another movie at midnight but Jeff had classes on the next day. So, we ended up supper at one of the mamak stores in Sunway.

This whole night was really great, and I am so extremely grateful to them for planning everything for me.

Before the official night ended, I received a birthday message from Alvin which gave me a flurry.

Thursday (16th July 2009)

Jamie insisted to come to my house and he did came on this day. He gave me a present which is his brother’s newly recorded album. He told me more about his family background which I didn’t know before this. I was quite impressed with his elder brother who is a rapper with codename, Jin Hackman.

Friday (17th July 2009)

Phei Hern came back from Perth during his study break. He invited me and Kevin to meet up in conjunction of our birthdays. We went to Summit for the movie that I was waiting so long. It turned out to be average only but still worth the watch.

I really hope that I can meet up with Phei Hern next year at Perth by completing my tertiary studies at UWA. I sure wish everything goes well till then, including the obliteration of A(H1N1) disease.

This is such a special year for me because I managed to celebrate my birthday throughout the whole week. Normally, my birthday always fall on my examinations and I have to delay celebration or even minimise it. This year is so different as it fell on my holidays and I get to enjoy as much as I wanted to.

Thank you to all my friends and family members. I really had a blast this year ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T HAVE A SINGLE BIRTHDAY CAKE. I’m just joking. This year I received about 90 birthday wishes in total and this already cheered me up.

A Delayed Meteor Shower which Signified an End to Semester 1

SDC1180129th June 2009 (Monday) was the last day of my Bachelor’s degree semester 1. While everyone celebrated their independence on the previous week’s Friday (because their last subject was Marketing Principles), we Finance students finished with Financial Management.

If it’s solely based on Last Day of Exam, there is no big deal. But Veronica celebrated her birthday with us at Sunway Pyramid on that day before going back to her hometown, Indonesia. Therefore, it really is a memorable day for us.

After the hi-tea (it was lunch for me since I forgotten to have lunch due to my exam), we went for movie! One of the most mind-boggling movies I have ever is, but is also Veronica’s favourite –> State of Play.

State of Play My rating: 6 over 10 because it’s dull and hard to to understand. I only derived my satisfaction because I got to understand such a sophisticated storyline.
