HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYUHADA/SYUH/SYUHLA/MUCUS WOMAN!!!!!

Editted

If you've read the earlier part of this, you'd realize that I've mentioned that it is Syuh's birthday. But I left out the part that it's Natalie's birthday too! Happy Birthday nat!






Anyway, as mentioned, I met up with Syuh and Jeanice. Jeanice was pretty late because she got caught in between some reefs. And she forgot to bring Syuh's present, so she had to go home to get it.


We lingered around Cold Storage while waiting for Jeanice and I found my cheese spread that I had been fond of since a little kid. The one with the red cow head. Hahah.


We then settled for lunch at MacDonalds and time did pass quickly. We left the place, thinking that we should shift to StarBucks but apparently, things weren't on our side, and so we decided to head back to MacDonalds to get some Ice Cream. Yes, on a rainy day.


But before heading to MacD, we got ourselves two Kinder Joy with Surprise each.






Yup, the eggs are back people. But this time, there's Ferrero Rocher- like chocolates in them. Not forgetting the toys too.

Jeanice was getting hyper and lame, by taking photos of the Kinder Eggs. They're no longer wrapped in foil though.

And Syuh was getting paranoid over the toys hidden inside. Hahah.


Anywa, back to MacDonalds....


That was where we were in our own world, well not literally, because we started reminiscing the past together. We found out that Syuh, despite being the innocent looking one, got into the most number of fights and arguements. "Innocent" eh. Hahah.

And we found out that kids these days were getting out of hand, treating public places far more worst than home, shouting like babarics. Not only were they a disgrace to society, they were ones to their families, themselves and since they were in their uniforms, their school.


The day ended around dinner time and Syuh and I headed home by walking. But halfway through the drizzle became a downpour and so we were drenched. Syuh found it "awesome" to be drenched on her birthday. Hahah. And I got weird stares when I boarded the bus.


Well, that's it for now I guess. I'll update once I have some things on hand, or if I feel like it. For now, I wanna' go open my Kinder Eggs. Hahah.



One more time, Happy Birthday Syuh and Nat! I hope it was a blissful day for you guys!







K bye.

Well, today's Syuhada's birthday and I've scheduled for this post to be posted on 11.50am, cause' that's the time that she was born. Hahah.

I don't think she'll see this because I'm meeting her, and Jeanice at 12pm.

And so let me reveal what I did for her, as a birthday gift. Well, if you know me well enough, you'd know that I am a very corny person. I'll find poems or sayings and write them out. This year, I think I am the corniest ever, because I made syuh's gift in terms of a goody bag.


Well, I've always liked the idea of goody bags because it's sort of a surprise, and it makes people feel young. Hahah, that's what I think.


And in the goody bag, there is a piece of "Paparazzi" styled letter for her. Don't all birthdays have letters? But I'm not good with words, so I did got some poem too. Hahah, corny.

Then there is a newspaper wrapped item. Mind you, I do have wrapping papers, but I really liked the idea of how "anyhow" and free-styled newspapers looked. She has to open a few layers of the newspaper before she can see the gift.

It's a shoe. I know there are alot of superstitions about giving shoes to others, which in simple words means "sending them away", in terms of death. To make it worst, I'm giving her on her birthday. But just like how my family does it, I'm going to get maybe 10 cents from her, so it'll seem like she bought it for herself. Hoho.

Anyway, this shoe isn't like any other shoe. Because, this one is designed by me! I was really disappointed with the outcome because I didn't know it would be much harder on canvas than on paper.

SORRY SYUH! Heh.


And last but not least, like all goody bags, there's a bag of sweets inside. I got her, her third wine gum, and some DAT DAT Marshmallows too! Hahah.


Well, if you think I'm odd than you've not seen many other "themes" which I chose for others. You may just be my next Guinea Pig.


But I don't think I'll do any more shoes, unless for myself. Hahah.



A little dedication to friends to end the post.

The Gift Of Friends

by Karin Schaefer

There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it's splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
'till our hearts ache to the breaking,
'till our eyes can't shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and its mystery,
its power and its might.

And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift,
the precious gift of Friends.

Once again, Happy Birthday Syuh!


I'll update again once the day's over.


Loves!

Open Houses!

That's Soo Ah Quek, the new version of Johnny from Outsiders. It's the literature "art" piece I was talking about here. And yes, it was done by me, back when I was in secondary two. It did crack my classmates and myself up. And it still does!



Anyway, I spent the entire of yesterday with Syuhada and Mak Nenek Jeanice. We visited some of the polytechnics, namely SP, NP and NYP. The places weren't as happening as we expected them to be, but we had fun trying to find ways to escape from some people.



The day ended with Syuh struggling with her killa' shoes and Jeanice with a hole in her hair. Hahah.


But it didn't end there. Syuh and I, just like back in school days, sat and we talked and talked and talked. It was really nice having the chance to catch up with her. Despite not seeing her since the last of our papers, we never had a moment of awkwardness, not at all.



This is what true friends are. You may not be able to see or talk to them for a long period of time, but when you do, nothing changes, and you can just click back, as though it was only yesterday that you guys met. They don't have to say a word or be present, and yet you know that they do care for you. You don't feel awkward around them because you know that they like you for who you are, so you need not bother about what to say or how to behave. You can talk about issues that are simply random, or you can go in so deep without being sensitive about it. They are the ones who are fun-loving, yet now when to draw the line. They are the only ones who look at your flaws and tell you the truth to help you improve on your well-being. But they are never the ones who make fun of you, or hate you for your flaws.



True friends are people who don't question the term friendship.

First Time

*Updated



LONG POST AHEAD.





Today had been a day of many firsts; First Day after the major papers of 'O' Levels, First Time waking up so early (7.30am) on a non-schooling day, First Time taking the train to Orchard in the morning and alone, First Time visiting the agency, First Time eating at MacDonalds in Lucky Plaza alone, First Time walking aimlessly around Orchard Road alone.


But it was all worth while. As I got to see many things that I never knew existed, or had never had the chance to stop and look at, a second longer. This gave me the privilege to appreciate the things around me more.


I never really liked cameras nor taking taking photographs because I feel that it isn't all natural. I believe that the eyes and skin are the best cameras anyone could get because they not only let you see but feel the magnificence of things.


Anyway, while walking from the MRT station to Takashimaya, I had the chance to admire vibrant coloured candies (Christmas ornaments) that dangled from the trees by the street. They were sparkly and dazzling, I am sure they would be even more mesmerizing at night. Well, it was day time, morning in fact, and so all the shops by Orchard were still close. And so, I headed to MacDonalds to have my breakfast, alone.















It was odd sitting by myself as I did not have anyone to talk to, but this gave me an opportunity to look around me, more. I observed how some people ate, how they walked and talked, basically everything that caught my eyes. Other people, I actually enjoyed watching the Tv advertisements scrolling on-screen.


One of them in fact, really drew my attention, thus I fell in love with the advertisement. I think, that this is by far the most interesting advertisement that advertises one's country.




Amazing Thailand






After breakfast, I headed to the agency which was quite quick and swift. After which, I then headed to my favourite bookstore, Kinokuniya. The mere thought of being surrounded by so many books made me jump in joy inside.


It was breath-taking as I scanned through the wide variety of books. I was dazzled by the presence of so many books, that was accompanied by the warmth of the lighting that caressed everyone with love. I was delighted and looked through some books, I even read some and got the time and chance to imagine myself in the stories. I was also my first time seeing or rather reading about the tales of Eragon unfolding itself in the books.









I passed by rows after rows of books that simply enlightened me. And while being at Kinokuniya, I happened to chance upon a Great book that made me fall in love with it, just at the first page. It is titled 'Ways to live forever' by Sally Nicholls. It is about a little boy who wrote an entire book about his life. Just like us, he had dreams, aspirations and stories of his life. But what sets him apart from us, is that this boy is dying, from leukemia.


I read a few chapters of the book, and did not want to "read for free", and so I set it back. And wandered farther in Kinokuniya.


I managed to get myself stuck in the Stationery section where I was literally like a kid jumping in joy. There were so many stationery that I could not help but squeal in excitement.




There were so many types of pens







so many designs of writing paper (decorated)






so many designs of perforators






so many colours of glitter glues












so many cute small erasers (some even looked like real Sushi!)

















so many cute stickers (with tiny beads and pictures in them)














there were even adorable flash cards












files









Notebooks & journals








and pencil cases. Oh yah, there was even a





BLING BLING PEN!





Just being able to be at the stationery section made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I wanted to stay longer, but I wanted to leave as well. And so, I chose latter, and left. I went to..... The Toys Department Store!


I practically lost myself in the world of toys. I touched and hugged every soft toy I could see. I even had the chance to play the Spider-Man T.V game And of course, a MUST PLAY everywhere I go, Etch-a-sketch!

I watched every advertisement on play. For this Christmas, they're actually bringing BLO PENS. I used to have a set of those, and I like them pretty much. However, the ink ran dry and I had to throw them away.

There was a section of hello kitty, and immediately, I thought of Yap Jia Min. hahah.


I spent most of my time at three sections. The first one was the Crayola section. I think they have the most creative and innovative variety in coloring kits! There's washable markers, erasable colour pencils, and mess-free crayons!

I felt like a small kid again.

The second was at the PlayDoh section. PlayDoh have one of the most awesome gadgets in the world. Just by using plasticine, one can make things like Ice Cream (Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe) as well as creative crafts (Super Craft Caddy).


There is also a gadget from 'Girls Gourmet' that actually bakes cup cakes. It was pretty neat, but what drew my attention the most was this advertisement from the last section, of a Japanese toy. I think Causeway's Action City has the same toy, the pea pod thing with the guy going insane by pressing and popping the peas? What is that eh? I was curious and so I joined the kids there as we pressed the pea pods, trying to see what would happen. But nothing did happen.


Frustrated but contented with my journey, i left TakaShimaya and headed to Wisma Atria. I first headed to my favourite shop, Flesh Imp, but didn't stay long as there were sales assistants. hahah. I then practically walked around aimlessly throughout the whole of Wisma Atria.

I like how BeBe, Rough Jeansmith and TopShop have the very "welcoming" factor towards their shop. There were also cute items selling outside of Flesh Imp.


I walked around till it was time to leave, for good.


I took the train and headed back to near Home where I met up with Wan Teng, Shera and Aainaa for our Movie date!

It's another long story from there, so I'll continue some other time!


Loves.
