I think that this calls for a reason to be blogging. About my 19th birthday……
Well, I took the dy off fro my credit card job to go help out at the Ladder’s opening ceremony. It wasa really slaky man and they haven’t paid me yet.
Well, Farah, Li Shan and Ron all can’t make it to celebrate my birthday with me so we actually went out on Friday after work to Suntec Kenny Rogers. Together we shared a family meal and we chatted till the place was closing. Well, we talked about some funny encounters that we had with the aunties, uncles or kids. We also talked about adult stuff, novelty stuff. I was surprised about how much Li Shan didn’t know or was it that she was trying to be a good gal image?
On Sunday itself, after work, I met Denise for dinner and I was amazed at how much we could get with a budget of about 50 bucks for 2 person. We went Thai Express for Seafood tom yam soup, asked them not to make it too hot. The we went to Kenny Rogers again to have a quarter chicken that we shared. Lastly, we went to NYDC for boney cake and mud cake which were the 2 desserts that she was recommending strongly. We were both very full by half time the cakes but we still finished it. I think I ate more that night. Hehe….it was really interesting as I never thought of such an interesting kind of dinner; eat a little good stuff here and there to make a meal.
When I reached home, we cut cake at home as a family but I wasn’t too happy. I wasn’t too happy as theway we celebrated birthday as compared to last time was really much lesser. Moreover the joining of my brother whose birthday is about slightly more than a week earlier than mine. For the past couple of years, it has been celebrate together, going out to eat for his birthday and then saying that my celebration is included in there already. As I grow up, I feel less loved in the family, birthday only means sing a song, cut a cake and eat it up in my family. Quite a lack of warmth.
I also opened my presents. With out fail, for quite a no. of years running, I will not fail to receive something from Ron, Li Shan and Farah. Ron gave me a cute tiger bookmark, looks really nice but the sad thing is that I am not exactly into books but still it was really quite cute. Li Shan and Farah got me a Precious moments Cashcard. It was really very cute and I didn’t know that precious moments actually had such things. But the only thing is that, I don’t really know where I can use a cash card, moreover, I don’t know how it works!! But it is nice to have something from Precious Moments in my wallet. Precious Moments has this sweetening of the heart effect.
That night when we chat, I was initially sad already as he can’t celebrate it with me and with him saying that we can’t meet the next day I cried. Much later, he and a few of his team mates managed to plead for an afternoon rest and then we could meet. We were talking when he asked me what I want. I told him what I want and we quarreled about it. Quarreled in a heart breaking sense, over small things that I don’t think is really worth remembering as it is over and has been settled. Anyway, the night ended at about 3 plus in the morning with plans to give me the birthday I want the next day.
The next day was a tricky one. I didn’t want to go for work but can’t let my parents know. I left for work as usual but was hiding at the staircase till my mum went to work I then come back to finish my make up and stuff. I managed to leave the house just before my dad came home but was stuck at the neighboring block when it just suddenly rained real heavily like nobody’s business. I sat at the car parks staircase for 2 hours plus and dare not go back to get an umbrella. I made my way out when he rain got smaller. It was only when I reached Douby Ghout that he has just left the house and we then decided to meet at Takashimaya.
I paid for his cab to taka as the taxi river didn’t have small change. We went to change money then head on to buy rings. We bought from bits and pieces and got rings that was easy to ear but hard to remove sizes and got our names and anniversary date engraved on the inside of the ring. We then went to buys some clothes while the engraving was done. After the rings, we got a cake from that famous cheese cake brand at B2and was heading to B1’s flourist when he suddenly suggested drinks. He went down to get the drinks while I wait for him at B1. He was gone for quite some time and I thought what was up. When he finally returned, he was carrying 2 plastic bags. One obviously had Guiness in it. I still thought he bout so much drinks but then he passed me the other bag and ask me to open and see. My first flowers from him, red roses that were in a beautiful nearly circular bloom. We then cabed to our usual hang out and he paid for everything that day except for the clothes. After cutting the cake, he took the rings to wear it for me. Kind of weird, no sweet talk before wearing, just, which hand do you want it on? After wearing the rings he told me what I wanted to hear most and we hugged…sweet sweet…
Ok then…….think the rest I don’t want to share already. Anyway really really have a very blissful feeling for the rings have an alternative meaning to it….
Ok…this entry was written over 2 nights…..hope the next one will be shorter.
