Sister's 19th Birthday

Celebrated sister's 19th yesterday at home, after much changing of plans 'cos our initial plan didn't follow through thanks to the birthday girl who booked her bike prac on her birthday. but all is forgiven 'cos we managed to salvage the surprise part of the celebration.

the initial plan was to bring sister dear out to Night Safari since she hasn't been there before and to have my family prepare the birthday cards, gifts and the cake in time for our return back home.

Since she has already paid for her bike prac yesterday, Syasya and me decided to bring her out to dinner and follow through with the surprise when she returned home from the bike prac with her boyfriend. birthday dinner was at Swensens and when she took her leave for SSDC, Syasya and me walked around abit before heading home. we bought the birthday girl bubble tea since we didn't know that my parents were going to buy KFC for her. so we ended up with a bucket full of chicken and loads of drinks prepared for her surprise.

pictures and a video were taken yesterday and so i'll let the pictures and the video do the talking once they're uploaded.

As for the Juicy Couture label up there, it's of one of the gifts i bought her. couldn't get the actual picture of the gift online so i settled for the label instead. The other gift was from Body Shop.

Dad's 47th Birthday

The family celebrated dad's advanced birthday yesterday night 'cos i was not sure if everybody was going to be home today and i was right. i'm having my night shift tonight anyways so it was a good idea to celebrate it yesterday.

we bought him chocolate cake, canadian pizza and made drinks for the so called party food. the card and the present we finished preparing two hours before, so it was all rushed but we pulled it off. yeay us!

thankfully, dad fell asleep when we left the house to get the party food and he was still asleep when we returned and rushed about getting everything ready. i think we managed to get everything settled in ten - fifteen minutes. we made mom do the job of waking dad up from his slumber.

she managed to do it with the excuse of someone wanting to see him and was he surprised when he saw the setup upon leaving the master bedroom to get to the door. we sang him a birthday song. we took pictures. he blew out the candles. read the birthday card. took some more pictures. opened his birthday present, we got him Doctor Martens' boots, he said thank you to all of us and we cut the cake and enjoyed the food.

it was nothing grand just a small close knit celebration. i suppose these are the kind that really matters to my family. it doesn't have to be grand at all but it's the thought and the people that surround you that matters.

once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!

highlights and such

my December has been pretty eventful.

my girls threw me a surprise belated birthday celebration and boy, was i surprised. there is a video but i have yet to upload it 'cos, like I've prolly said a hundred times, my laptop and desktop do not want to read my camera's memory card. so it will take ages to upload the vid and them pics they took.

anws, my face looked like this in the video or close enough to it.

next eventful thing was getting my hair coloured, I'm happy with the colour. just the right shade for work, which is not too obvious but obvious enough that the colours 'pop' when exposed to sunlight. that's what sister says anyways.

oh yeah, my hair has two tones. a dark brown shade for the base colour which i kinda forgot the name to and a dark mahogany blonde for the highlights. it turned out really gorgeous that even now I'm still touching my hair every few minutes. ;D

i daresay that it's the best investment i made on hair to date, I've had a few bad experiences with hairdressers last year, so I'm definitely happy that the stylist didn't screw up my hair. :D

anws, I've yet to go shopping, this time not for clothes but for make-up stuff 'cos ever since i started watching XSparkage's videos online i have a new found love for make-up and beauty. sounds vain but i don't really care 'cos it gives me something to do at home when i'm extremely bored.

sadly, most of the stuff she uses like Inglot Cosmetics, Urban Decay and Too Faced just to name a few don't ship to Singapore yet. so far only Eyeko nail polishes are shipped internationally. so I'm gonna start investing money in clothes and make-up from now on. more so on make-up since i ahve way too many clothes combinations to get by

and so, imma do some serious damage to Sephora@ION next week. they better be prepared when sister and me hit their store. *insertevillaughterhere*

movie date and updates

caught this yesterday with Khai over at our usual spot. i won't comment on the movie just yet 'cos I'm waiting for the 2nd part to be released next July, i think. anywho, Doby the Elf was cute in the movie too bad it didn't get that much screen time.

anyways, Khai gave me an early birthday present and wished me happy 22nd instead of 21st. i actually didn't realise it until she told me 'cos i was touched that she got me a gift. coincidentally, it was the same body shop perfume i wanted to get for myself the day that i tried it last October when i went out with the boyfriend. i couldn't purchase it then 'cos i wanted to buy some stuff from our night safari trip. i swear she's psychic sometimes.

oh yeah, the name of the perfume is Japanese Cherry Blossom. it's uber nice smelling. i like.

other than that there's not much to update. work is work. life at home is as normal as it can get. looking forward to an intimate dinner with boyfriend and sister.

next month is another different story.

Sister's 18th Birthday :)

i WAS supposed to blog about her birthday on the day itself but i got tired and i had work the following morning. sooo, i'm blogging about it now. for the more detailed version of her birthday you can go read it at my sister's blog 'cos the details according to me are now a bit fuzzy.





okay, the pictures aren't in order 'cos i'm lazy to put them in order. i think ever since i started wroking full time, i've lost my zest for blogging. okay, anyhow....

we celebrated her 18th at my aunt's house, maternal side of the family. this was because we happened to be visiting my maternal grandma there so my parents decided to celebrate it there too. it was nothing too fancy, just a small family gathering, albeit a sweet one.

the cake mother bought was superb, Polar Puffs and Cakes have the best tasting cakes. at least for me lah. and, since it was her 18th, i bought her a sweet something from Citigems. that was her birthday present from the whole family. and me being a wonderfully terrific elder sister, self praise much? , i bought for her tickets to watch Paramore LIVE! i was excited as she was when i bought them tix at sistic on her birthday.

we got awesome seats too, not too far from the stage. i guess you can say it's somewhere in the center. i will be watching the Paramore concert with her and her babyboy. you can say it will be one of the events of the year for me. there are alot of dates this year that i'm looking forward to. my brain is already busy planning for those dates on the side.

i can definitely feel that the first few months of my 2010 will be a whirlwind of activities. and the most important one for now is my LAW EXAM. i think i'm going to overwork my brain until April comes.

Birthday Surprise!

i actually intended to post a wordy one but now i find myself at a loss for words. there are pictures and videos and as you know pictures can paint a thousand words more than any description would suffice. not that it would, especially in this case when i'm out having fun with my favourite ladies. :)

okay the content of this post includes a picture of the day, picture of the present that my girls gave me and a few videos. i do not know how to combine the vids so there'll be a lot of them . enjoy :)


kinkiest present i've ever received. ;p

okay, correction, i've decided to post the vids up on fb instead. It's because i'm just plain fickle minded and because Nana just gave me new info about the privacy settings for vids on fb. sesungguhnya aku sungguh bodoh nak mampos.

plus, i swear i'm losing the inclination to blog at all. hmm.

another correction, i've decided to combine the vids, it will make it that much easier to post it up on fb anyways. but it may take days. which i'm not looking forward to.

Birthday update.

just going to post pictures that i edited. not much just two 'cos i made one collage.

again, i'd like to thank everybody, from the bottom of my heart, who wished me during my birthday. i truly appreciate it. :)
