Since the Japanese buffet till the last day I was in Malaysia, my life had never been so hectic before. And the worst thing is that it is not hectic because of work, but because of too busy enjoying fun.
From my Facebook photo album – The Inception of Wynn’s 19th Birth-Month, it is obvious that I have been maximising every single second I have in my hometown with most of my friends.
Birthday Eve Party (14/7)
The best of all was still the birthday eve party organised by Alex Loh and attended by most of my Business Foundation classmates and some of my UniSA friends. Special thanks to all who spent their precious time crazing with me at my house. I shall name out all your honourable names – Alex Loh, Shan Lung, Brian Chong, Teong Jin, Nicole Chua, Shu Wen, Wei Qi (who drove for 2 hours just to get to my party), Kar Mun, Tien Jiun, Billy Ooi, Ching Yee, Vandy Ho, Nai Loong, Jocelyn Teo, and Shao Xian.
Once again, thank you all 15 of you! You really gave me the best birthday in my life!! Sorry if I wasn’t a really good host on that day. And I wasn’t moody on that day, if that’s what some of you were thinking. I was just too busy answering phone calls and trying to help everyone as much as possible which made me over-occupied.
Actual Birthday Nightmare (15/7)
It started of with lunch at SS15 Uncle Seng together with Victor Lam. After that, I spent the afternoon with Teong Jin, Brian Chong, Shan Lung, Benjamin Michael and Alex Loh at the SS14 curry chicken rice shop and JS cyber cafe playing Left For Dead 2. Evening was well spent at Brian’s house. It was really a pleasure to go to his home, and I seriously hope he stops feeling inferior about it. At night was when nightmare began to approach me. It was still alright when I went out with Brian to SS2 night market along with Nai Loong, the non-stop talkative Vandy, and Jenn Shyang (not related to the JS cyber cafe). Brian had to leave after that, and we went on with Mong Kok for dinner and KTS for dessert nearby. It was not really all that fun as Jenn Shyang wasn’t really into himself that night and Vandy just practically made me real exhausted with all the arguing. And the worst finally came when I got back to my car parked at SS15. The bird shits all over the car was nothing new to me, but the tar that stuck on my shoe really gave me a hell as it is not removable. That really gave my beloved sport shoes a long-term scar. And I have to beg Nai Loong and Vandy to stop laughing about it.
Post-Birthday Celebration (16/7)
I went over to my high school, SMK Kota Kemuning during the morning. Surprisingly, it was the teachers who wished me happy birthday instead of my friends. I collected my 1119 certificate which was 3 years old by now. Unfortunately, I only got to see few friends there as their recess time was over when I finished my stuff. But I’m still glad to meet my old pal, Yang Siong, and introduced myself to Wen Kiat who was so excited, as well as Shine Shawne.
Friday night was when I spent time with two of my besties, Boon Kuang and Chun Yeen. To be honest, I did sense some changes within both of them. And that’s what happens commonly among teenagers who just left high school and enter college. It’s a bit pity that we had so little time to chit chat compared to the old days where we can talk forever. I admit that it is my fault for being so busy and having so little time back home. But I promised I will spend more time with you all again. So we did at least went to watch Predator which is such a predictable movie. I shall skip the awkward side-clubbing part. And then, we went for foosball at Asia Cafe till 3am plus. This just made my parents even upset after all the parties and hang-outs.
Full Day Post-Birthday Celebration with Taylorians (17/7)
So this was my first karaoke session outside home after being back from Australia. The singing gang included Billy, Yee Von and Jenn Shyang. We all made full use of all the time we had before Inception. Singing with Yee Von did bring me back a lot of memories of those times we sang when we were still in Business Foundation. An example is my high-pitch voice of singing F.I.R’s 月牙湾 (Yue Ya Wan) and funky songs like DA Mouth’s 国王皇后 (King and Queen).
Inception is the best movie I’ve ever watched so far this year! It extended my ideas of our creativity can go beyond reality. Besides them, Shao Xian, Vandy and Nai Loong also joined in for the movie.
After that, I met Sharon Tan at the toilet corridor. It really was nice seeing her again after so long. Then, we went to Bon Odori which I personally didn’t really enjoy it due to the excessively crowded place. Jocelyn joined us for that, and I did see some familiar faces around there. We then ended up in Asia Cafe for supper as most of us did not ate anything throughout the night. Billy and Yee Von were the popular ones as if the whole Asia Cafe customers are theirs friends. Since we didn’t really get to talk much throughout the day, I ended up with a long telephone conversation with Jenn Shyang which broke another record of the longest telephone conversation.
Birthday Celebration with Family/Relatives (18/7)
In the morning, I got a call from Mei San and she said that she would be staying in Subang for another day till the next morning. But sadly, I am still not able to meet up with her for this holiday due to my packed schedule of fun.
In the afternoon, I had another birthday celebration with my Kota Kemuning friends organised by Cassandra Leow. I have to thank those who came to the Pizza Hut lunch who included Cassandra, Samantha, Jonathan, Lai Yenn, Jing Yi, Pui Quan, Wen Ting, Wen Han, Amanda Leou, and my sister. The after party was even fun when we headed over to Herbaline for photo-shooting session at the dance studio in front of the big mirror and on the beautiful bed. After that, some of us managed to have some final fun by playing Elefun and Cluedo at Cassie’s house.
Night time was spent with my relatives as we had our dinner at home. I got to spent some good time with my uncle, aunts and cousins, as well as my family who I have been neglecting for quite some time.
Not Much of A Birthday at HSBC Puchong (19/7)
It’s such a nice feeling to see all my ex-colleagues again together with Teoh Jacson. Some people are not there anymore and new faces are seen. I really love that place as they all are really friendly and kind. I ended up not spending a single cent as they treated me for all the food even if it’s eating lunch twice with two gangs. I really missed all of you!
Birthday Karaoke Session (21/7)
After lunch, I took Elsa Lam and Meng Jiun over to Sunway Pyramid for karaoke! The last time with Yee Von was at Amp Square and it was good. This time was at Red Box. I met Elsa’s friend, Kelly Khoo who was so excited with singing her songs. We took well a lot of videos of each other singing. And I’m surprised that Meng Jiun has a professional DSLR camera. It’s one of the best singing sessions with all the latest Chinese songs and some English songs at the end of it. We went over to Kim Gary after that for light dinner. My friendship with these 2 would last long despite not much common topics, I’m pretty sure.
Birthday Work Around Subang Jaya (22/7)
After cutting my hair again, I went for pork noodles at SS15 with Alex, Siew Fen, Sher Li, Yang Shiuan, Billy, Jacson, Teong Jin and Lye Kuan. It felt so awesome to see all of them once again. They are well-known as the elite team in Taylor’s of my batch, and probably now among all the educational institutions around Malaysia. Who knows what they will be in the future? Well, they are fun to hang out with although I didn’t get to do it last time.
Work has to be done, and I bought my textbook at UBS Bookstore, completed the Clearance Form at Taylor’s Lakeside Campus, bought a speaker from my dad’s supplier at USJ 1, and went home before cooking started.
Final Day of Birthday Fun (23/7)
For lunch, I went over to HSBC at Damansara Heights with Jacson to meet up with our internship mentor, Norman Chuah who is now managing there. He treated us Pizza Hut and he is still as friendly as last time. I believe his potential would lead him far into the bright future.
After thanking Jacson for the ride all the way there and back to Subang, I headed over to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with Vandy and Jocelyn for one last time since they missed me so much, oops! We snapped many “SS” pictures as there wouldn’t be much chance after that anymore.
Back to Reality (24/7)
This is the day I went back to Adelaide. It is tough saying goodbye to all my friends and families once again. But not as tough as the first time I left them. Well, and this was how my birth-month ended.
Guess what, problems eventuate again after fun ended as expected. This is how I live in Adelaide. But this time, I will try to make things different!
