HALLO!
yes. I have just turned 18 a couple of days ago.
Isn’t really a big deal. But it is when it comes to getting into a club or drinking for that matter.
Since my birthday was on a Friday, I had a birthday WEEKEND!
so here is what happened.
FRIDAY : 29th of July, 2011
I went to school as usual. Had birthday wishes here and there. Then after school (10.20am – short day for me.) I met up with JY at Melbourne Uni after picking up my dry cleaning.
We went over to her place (walked) and had lunch together (Instant Laksa noodles) & hang around a little bit more longer. After that, we came back to my place. Grabbed some homework, my guitar and a picnic mat and headed for the park and just chilled under the nice warm sun. (but the wind was so strong that it didn’t really help.)
Spent the whole afternoon with JY. Was relaxing in a way.
When it got cooler we headed back home. I got ready for dinner. (Jie, SamKuJie & U.Dan)
This is Me and SamKuJie
We 3 gals went for pre-drinks first in a really fancy hotel! with one of the best views of Melbourne EVER! (I don’t mind sleeping in the toilet- view is awesome~)
I had to choose one the strongest cocktails – Heart of Stone! Damn!
Swapped with SamKuJie after a few sips. don’t want to get all tipsy in my already-hard-to-walk-in-heels.
Met up with U.Dan in some bar and got to meet some of his friends. (beer people)
After that we went to Docklands at have DINNER!
Didn’t plan where to have dinner because that STUPID restaurant don’t accept reservations (so annoying! & so rude some more!)
Anyhow, I chose this Greek restaurant called SAGANAKI (which I thought sounded like JAPANESE! but it is actually the name of a Greek Cheese!)
We had a really nice time together! like ADULTS now. Used to be 3 adults and a kid but now, 4 adults! AWESOME!
But then, my stomach just had to give problems. Had the worst gastric/cramp or whatever it was while having dinner! I only had it once before this. And it didn’t end well. Was so afraid I’d pass out in the restaurant. I head into the toilet and squat for at least 15 minutes until it was safe again. (So sorry for ruining such a beautiful time together!)
That is it that night. Had some muffins from SamKuJie and some presents! LOVE YOU!
SATURDAY : 30th of July, 2011
Woke up really late! was suppose to meet up with Sheryl in Church to discuss MC stuff for ISM Welcome Night (2nd Sem) that night.
Caught the tram with Jie (not sure why she was pissed at me.)
Anyway, we had quite a productive day. LOVE Joelynn!
Spent a whole lot of time in Church that day! Went to see what is at Lord Mayor’s for a while, GOT SOME GOODIE BAGS!
everything got hectic when the time got closer to start the night. Quite a number of people attended. (*phew*)
Apparently both Sheryl and I did a good job. I had fun anyway so even if it suck-ed I don’t actually care. As long as it is for Him and that I did my best, that’s all it counts!
After everything ended and the crowd was all heading for dessert, I heard this Birthday song came from the AV and I was like ‘wow! whose birthday falls after mine?’ and suddenly I noticed everyone was singing to me! SHOCKING! *silly* Was so touched that I almost cried. *laughs*
After some banana cuppy cakes, Rach and JY wanted me to follow them (BLINDFOLDED!) so fine, I went along. DAMN SCARY! was BLINDFOLDED!!!
we paraded along Swanston Street and I’m pretty sure everyone was staring. There was incidents like, me almost tripping, me bending down like an idiot whenever JY says ‘slope!’, me bumping into a pole, me whacking some random stranger. *shames*
once we reached our ‘destination’, I knew we were at Bevan’s and I was made to drink VINEGAR! (thank God I didn’t) I was still blindfolded for quite a LONG time. And then I was asked to guess who was there.. I guess all 5 right except the last one. It was Chris!
they made Mojito which was supposedly ‘alcohol-free’ & I believed! We played some card game called Pyramid and I drank SOOOO much! argh~ Chris was really lovely to drink some for me. Then we played blow the cards which was really hard because it was either I kept talking and pointing that’s why I had to drink. (there was some rule that came with that game and Rach&I kept breaking them!)
Funny things happened! Apparently I was running all over the place and crying and laughing and falling and shouting. GOSH! we went to Jufri’s place to crash and in the morning it was only him & I because Bevan came over to bring her to his place before the sun came out.
-Pictures are all with Rachel I think or maybe there isn’t- SO SORRY!
SUNDAY, 31st of July, 2011
Woke up at Jufri’s place. Had breakfast with Rachel & Bevan & Jufri.
We had Subway which was near Douglas’s place but he isn’t here. Oh well.
I went to church alone because Rachel had to go to Uni to do some project with her friends.
After church I ate lunch with Sophie! @ GOGI
SO FILLING! *gosh*
anyway, after that (about 2pm) I called like the whole world just to meet up with someone but all of them were busy. (so sad) so I tagged with Jie and Jufri came alone. Went to his place for a bit then called Bevan telling him I’ll be at Jufri’s place waiting to go to basketball with him. (apparently I could have gone to Bevan’s place but he said he just woke up and that he had to buy some stuff that’s why I was with Jufri)
Anyway, about 3pm+ I went for Basketball with Bevan! SO AWESOME! though I got hit by the ball in the face TWICE! I am alright. There was this guy (forgot his name), he looked like my boyfriend but was really tall and he plays BASKETBALL so its so not him. Almost cried when I saw him and when he was really good to me. Miss you Kinny.
After Basketball I didn’t want to go to church for 6pm Service but since Zachary was walking to somewhere near church I decided oh well, just go then.
Church was really nice and suddenly I got a text from Rachel saying that she had dinner planned so just go home. That was what we (hazel and I ) did. Went home straight after 6pm service ended.
The whole house was dark when we reached and we Jie opened the door.. “SURPRISE!!” and many pop sounds were made! (all the confetti's were everywhere! thank GOD I wasn’t the one who opened the door)
They planned this the whole day. Cooking and preparing for me. No wonder JY & Rachel weren’t free for me the whole day. Then Bevan was ‘sleeping’ before basketball was because he was at my place the whole time! *they’re so sweet* (SOBS)
they made homely food such as Nasi LEMAK, Rendang, Asam Curry, and KUIH LAPIS! plus they had Syrup Bandung and teh tarik! they are awesome! OMG!
we had dinner and after dinner we played Taboo. (My unagi with Jie’s weren’t working!)
after the whole game suddenly they brought out a cake from no where!! then I had to blow the candles (made a really good wish).. then after having the cake they surprised me again! with a BICYCLE!! T.T
I don’t know what I did or have done to deserve such beautiful friends! and I have known ALL OF THEM for less than a year! *sigh* they are freaking awesome!
was really hard to ‘swallow’ all these surprises they had for me all at once. I admit, I am quite lucky to have them as my buddies! Thank God for them!
LOVE you guys OH SO MUCH! Rachel, Jing Ying, Bevan, Jufri, Jen & Chris!
I REALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Rachel, JY, KIN, MND, BNHIL, JIE, JUFRI, JEN and so many more! (disappointments have all vanished thanks to you guys!)
Love, Hannah
