He lived more than 60 years to watch us grow up and here he is celebrating another year wiser.

Well, the video says it all…people says a picture paints a thousand words, then I suppose a video paints it all.

 

One big family. Missing: Stencer Leong in Hong Kong.

Jelly cake specially requested by Shawn Shawn, my cute little nephew who loves my red painted nails. My beloved mother.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who plan their costumes for weeks and those who panic and wear a lampshade at the last minute.

Obviously, I am the last minute kind. Like the Martha Stewart of Halloween, make a last-minute costume out of stuff I already have.

What I need: red, green, yellow, white, orange, and blue articles of clothing.
Who I am: Rubik’s Cube.

What I need: regular clothes, badge.
Who I am: undercover cop.

What I need: all-white outfit with white cloth over it and red “No entry” sign.
Who I am: Casper, the friendly neighbor ghost.

What I need: Jeff’s black king sized bed sheet.
Who I am: Dementor, Harry Potter.

After much struggling with my wardrobe, I manage to pull out a Hello Kitty look matching my partner in crime, Renee who is going as cross dressed Mickey Mouse. It’s a cat-and-mouse thing.

Arriving at the 3rd floor of Prince Hotel, two elegantly dressed woman gave us a weird stare. Then, we saw the ballroom were a sit down formal dinner. WTH?! *PANIC*

Thinking this would be a prank of the year yet!

Luckily, it wasn’t a prank. The room for the party is further down. Phew~!

Birthday boy! Such a sweet birthday surprise, his brother and sister from abroad dressed up as Wolverine and Sylar and made a video for him.

And everyone thought I am Minnie Mouse instead. Oh well, better than lampshade huh?

Best dress: Yellow Inflatable!

Happy birthday Eddy!!!

• Can you give me directions...to your heart?
• Did they just take you out of the oven? [No, why?] Because you're hot!
• Do you have a map? [No, why?] Because I just got lost in your eyes.
• I suffer from amnesia. Do I come here often?
• Is it hot in here or is it just you?

Yes, those are some pick up lines for a girl to a guy. Of all sorts good and funny lines, I choose step ahead and say, “Hi, you look familiar.”

And yes, I pick up a guy from the bar on my birthday night. Well, I don’t do this often…in fact, I never have to use any of the above!

Even worst is, the guy, Jeff, told me my line is old and over used. *#%@#$~! *ouch*

Anyone has any good pick up lines to share?

In the younger days, birthdays were all about balloons, hats, cake, ice cream, games, presents, and goodie bags. And it was good.

Then, as the years passed, people started to give cards with mean jokes about “saggy face” and “senior moments.” That is not so good.

And the first who always gets it among my close friends is no other than Wen Wey.

We celebrated another candle on the cake gracefully. Starting with with dinner at Delicious @ Dua Residency, updating each other with juiciest gossips. Then we moved to River Wine @ Pavilion to meet up with Renee, who couldn’t join us for dinner. Never knew this place existed, next to Jaguar showroom. Small area with about 5 tables, good for quiet night with friends. Moving on to 4Play @ Phuture for more fun. Candid. Caught by Chia Min.After a few glasses of champagne,  I was pretty much hammered.

Pretty awesome. I got my friends. I got champagne. I got some new friends. And I got my song at the end of the night.

No worries, we have not touch the senior moments yet. And thanks to Botox, we need not worry about the saggy face. Not that bad huh, Wen Wey? Happy Birthday!

I’ve been thinking all day…something I have to do but I just can’t figure out what. After a very long day out and about, I got home at about 11ish. As usual, I talk to Renee to conclude my day and she finally cracked the ‘soalan cebu emas’! It is Daniel’s birthday.

Well, trying to be the last one to wish him on his birthday before the clock strikes 12am to 24th Dec 2008.

The next day, I spend my Christmas Eve dinner to make up for my forgetfulness @ LaFite, Shang.

We were speculating that our table is the only one without alcohol. I need to detox!

But my detox plan failed when they serve dessert. Nostalgia, cotton candy on a tree? SWEET! And my first time trying on chilli chocolate, new discovery for a chocoholic.

We were the last to leave the restaurant as he was busy decorating the candles. Happy belated birthday!

His birthday wishes?

Birthdays? Fun? Sure, when I was, like, five. Now that I am a big tough grown-up, a birthday is just another candle on the cake. Worse, more and more candles on every year.

But back when I was little, it was so much more. It was the one day of the year when it was my inalienable right to gorge on cake, get gifts and generally boss my sister around. But her birthday is just a few days later than mine, so it is a backfire effect. However, I still make it a big deal! Come on, it is an absolute pass to drag "self-abandoned" friends to come out.

This year, I am double dipping on my birthday celebration, I had a whole month of celebrations from January till Feb and another celebration on May (this month is named after me, of course I have all my right to celebrate it) =p
