hahaha. my title is so "sesame street" and the word of the day iss.. "blah blah".

anyways. here goes a rough recollection of my weekend. i say rough cos im typing this 8 minutes before my actual birthday, and im kinda sad that im celebrating another one by myself.. okay joking. im happy to be single! i cant imagine someone liking me, a person who isnt satisfied with/like herself. (why dont i have double eyelids, whys my nose so flat. why my face so fat. why i sleep so much etc. etc.)

SATURDAY

went to get an express manicure done at this saloon near my place. $10. O.P.I. nail polish, took 45 min, cos i totally did what i always do, i nicked my thumbs tgt when it was drying, and she had to re-do the thumbs. hahaha. the layers were too thick, and i was in a rush, and the rain had started to POUR. like typhoon kind of rain!? then i was trying to protect my nails, while she sheltered me under an umbrella, and there was rain all over my nails.... and i had a feeling they still werent dry..

got into my car, and i had to drive with the pulp of my fingers (ortho ppl should know what this refers to) and the volar surface of my hands, and i think i nicked a nail on my wiper switch. damn. the rain was so heavy, visibility was 10 m, and i had to get to the saloon i was doing my hair at. there was flooding on the roads too! quite cool, cos everytime i drove into a puddle i would create waves! :D

finally got to pandan valley condo, and i had to parallel park in the horrible rain! and the lots are for mr bean cars!? or suzuki swifts. damn TINY. and i dont drive a very big car you know. so i had to circle, and i found a rather gigantic lot finally, so i was able to parallel park. ----------some background info, i actually bumped into a car while parallel parking in the exact same place! so of course, i was more careful, and i decided not to take the risk if the lots were too tiny. like not park in bt two MPVs.

was like 1/2 h late for my hair and make up appointment, and well in all the hair was okay. aunty amy (my stylist) waived the cost for the hair, cos it was my bday party :) the make up was really bad though. i am never going to go there again. like hello? when you put falsies (false eyelashes) you curl you own FIRST before sticking them on. if not you get the splitting effect.. ie you become a freak with 2 sets of eyelashes instead of one. which i became! thanks to her DAMN FAIL make up skills. damn SHINGZ la. and she took damn LONG LA. fails. fails FAILS!

im going to do my own make up NEXT TIME!

anw got home, salvaged my eyelashes, and then found out the balloons had not arrived at set at 6pm! party was starting at 630 pm, and i figured ppl will arrive on time, and so i was freaking out cos no decor at the party location.. zzz. doorgifts not packed, make up in tatters, not dressed, FREAKING OUT la.

what the freak!? ahhaha.

okays anyways.. eventually collected the cake and my parents dropped me off. and there was only half of the guests there when i arrived at 7pm. hahaa. guess i wasnt late, and my guests were! :O well i guess the location isnt really obvious, with brian having to circle around for 2 hours looking for parking lot. hahaha. quite fails. lol. he came looking quite flustered. lol.

anw, after they left, my mum came up with the idea that they should bring my sis to the hospital in the mean time, while they wait for the time to appear during cake cutting. and then what happens? my sister gets ADMITTED. yes. she was hospitalized for the first time in her life, and the first occurence in my family sans my mum giving birth to my sis hospital stay. i have no idea WHY they had to admit her, if it was just a superficial infx. i mean the red patch wasnt even in the dangerous zone of the face? and it had all the, if i may say, cardinal signs of inflammation - erythema, tenderness, heat, swelling, and lost of function (technically the supraorbital skin doesnt really have much func right. hahaha. so maybe this not present. debatable.) the docs said it might spread to the brain! and they were very worried! so we have to admit her just in case. (and NO, it is nothing to do with the fact that labs dont open over the weekend - so no tests can be done, and our A class wards cost $350 a night, neither does it have anything to do with the fact that the dermatologist is in KL and theres not really anyone who can dx her) and so my family was not around during my cake-cutting. really regrettable. everyone prayed for her and well, it turned out to be cellulitis.

party was great! enjoyable! hanlong's singing was awesome, the guest book was really sweet :D and the photo slideshow was SUPER INCREDIBLE! i had a lot of fun. im so happy that so many ppl came. even though my mind was kinda on my sis, and i was worrying about stupid things and running around talking to ppl until i didnt really have a proper dinner. hahaha. at least i got to taste the awesome bread pudding. (it ran out so fast!) and there was a lot of sabo-ing during the party. there was this strange idea, that me and lowell have something going on.. and obviously there isnt anything!! i guess it was a good joke and quite funny. dirty dancing was funny, and abhi had to sing sexyback or dance to it. hahaa. and the photos outside with the view of the nightsky was AMAZING! had some fun photos on the top of the tables and a couple of jumpshots! :D

the cake was beautiful! and i love the cupcakes jy baked! i recall i didnt finish one cos i was running about doing stuff.. but it was really yummy! all the sweetness of our friendship put into a cupcake! :D anyways, even though my cake was the most perfect cake ever, but the stupid SCC servers put it in the FREEZER instead of the fridge, and the cake became frosty. wah laos. way to go at spoiling my cake. fondant not supposed to have ICE ON IT. tsk. i saw the cake and i was quite pissed. but had to grin and bear it of course. (no outbursts on my bday) and then they cut such tiny pieces, without any common sense, yes they are all idiots, and now i have the lower tier of my cake stuffed in my fridge. way to go guys. my parents are going to give some feedback on the matter to the club. tsk.

other than that, everything was amazing! :) damn happy to turn 21. and happy that everyone was there to celebrate it. except for the nagging reminder that my sis was in hospital. sigh. thank goodness she's okay, and to be discharged tmr.

SUNDAY

well i got back from my party at around 1150 am, so its counted as sunday alrd la. went to pack all my sister's barang (for her admission) and then stripped and leaped into the bath, and had to shampoo my hair 4 times to get all the gunk off. oh the pins were terrible. i lost a lot of hair.. had to blast warm water on my face to melt the adhesive of the falsies and i pried them off. thank goodness they didnt stick to my eyelashes.. if not my eyes will be balder than they already are. tsk.

oh i also discovered i left my make up in glimour room. its in a pink bag and it contains my eye liner and my eye lash curler and my foundation! :(

anw changed and went with my mum to the hospital and camped there overnight, to keep my sis company. the sofa bed was uncomfortable and small, and i kept getting leg cramps cos i kept compressing some nerve or impeding blood flow in various sleeping positions. horrible didnt rest well at all. didnt go to church and stayed with my sis until 1pm, watching cartoons and playing games and reading newspaper, and having breakfast. my mum had to go back to church as she was teaching sunday school, and my dad went to church as well.

my parents reached at around 12 pm, and we hung around for a while, until my sis was eating her lunch and was pretty settled, then we went off for lunch. i tell you, zombie-ing with remnants of eyeliner is not good and damn unglam. i was really looking like a zombie. the dark purple nails helped little. went to adam road for lunch, and i felt too tired to eat. the prawn noodles weren't as appealing as i had hoped. got home took a shower and collapsed on my bed.

slept until 6pm. then i got up to clear up my party stuff, unwrap the gifts, msg my sister, watched some television, went thru the guestbook with my mum, she was shocked at some of the messages... hahaha. and i found out my sis was drawing something for me and uploading it onto deviantart! so proud of her :) shes a budding manga artist :) so talented :) looking forward to it :) she even asked us to bring all her manga stuff to the hospital so she could draw my present :) so sweet! omg. love you claire! :)

bathed and changed, and off to angie's party.
didnt wear pink, but had a pink handbag. :) her cake was really lovely too! and they at least cut bigger slices. and they had leftovers! i look at the giant thing in my fridge and SIGH. brainless gits. food was good! :) had chocolate fondue and played a game called "topple". a lot of random ppl around. but had fun anyways :)

after the party, followed perry's car (he offered to lead me to mt alvernia since i wasnt sure of the way) and he was a great leader. hahaha. he drove at a good pace, and didnt change lanes too often.. just in case i couldnt follow. hahaha. got to mt alvernia in one piece :) and went to see my sis. watched kungfu panda with her. and then gathered all her things and went home with my dad. he drove my car home :) and my mum stayed over.

yups. and im at home now, waiting for some photos to be uploaded onto facebook, and typing here. and its already been 1 hour since my birthday. what a way to start my birthday! :)
