Birthday shopping for clothes.

Meixiu asked me what i want as bday present. I sms back, clothes!
Tis is a msg tt my sec sch fren sent some days ago. I didn't contact them for a few mths.

We arranged 2 meet at Far East 2 shop. They asked me what i need (Well... clothes tt r smart casual bcoz i can wear 2 work & sch).

Aiwei told me tt she approves Xuezhen 2 b her image consultant. With her taking e lead, we shopped around. She wants 2 see me in a dress. We went all over 2 look 4 a suitable 1.

I tried a blue dress, spagehetti top & a floral dress. They commented tt i look sweet in e pink floral dress. So we got tt as my bday gift. Xuezhen laughed, saying tt all of us can wear dresses together next time when we meet (Cool!).

Been to 6 places in a day.

5.45am ~ i woke up grumpily. I'm tired from the lack of sleep & stomach pain.

6.30am ~ rise & shine 4 sis. she tot tt i tell her we r leaving e house at 7. i told her no, & we'r running late. she said as though it was her fault tt i'm late for my CT scan. I was so angry tt i wna leave without her.

6.45am ~ we stomped out of e house in our opposite directions. i was thinking whether 2 wait 4 her at e bus stop. I saw Aunt boarding e bus tt i wna take & sis running towards tt bus. I stopped her in her track bcoz i don't want Aunt 2 noe where we'r gg.

7.35am ~ we were early 4 e scanning at ttsh. waited 4 e diagnostic staff 2 come at 8.

after 8am ~ i was asked 2 drink 2 cups of yucky water (it contains water & e contrast media). Then e staff poked my vein (i almost teared. I felt e needle is near my bone.). I winced 2 sis, now i noe y old ppl dislike hospital bcoz it's scary & painful.

during the scan ~ e staff jabbed another solution into my vein & informed me tt my body will feel warm. it seems like i'm e meat on the chopping board (Eek!).

after scanning ~ asked 4 mc. went 2 c dr at toa payoh polyclinic bcoz e stomach still hurts & is bloated after taking the chronic medicine. e dr, dr kala was very nice. My fren was surprised 2 be serving me (So weird, since i saw them earlier tis wk 2 celebrate my bday.). She said i look pale (Of course! I'm so hungry & thirsty.).

breakfast at 11plus ~sis wna go toa payoh hub 2 eat Ya Kun toast. we window-shopped at Pepper plus & strolled ard. There wasn't much shops 2 see so we head 2 Yishun.

walking 2 Northpoint ~ i'm accompanying sis 2 shop at Esprit outlet. It looks like a factory outlet but much smaller. told her there's more t-shirts than other clothes. i rmbr tt i need 2 search 4 a fren's bday gift in TM. we waited long 4 e bus tt will bring us 2 Tampines.

TM ~e gift seems 2 b out of stock.
~i want 2 eat e food in bamboo containers tt is found in TM. Too bad tt it wasn't open. My craving doesn't stop there. We took shuttle bus to Ikea 2 eat snacks.

Ikea ~ i luv e showrooms & took photos. I got myself a new pillow. I bought hotdogs & ice cream for my sis & i. It had been a busy day travelling.

4plus ~ went home. Took a shower & nap.

23rd bday celebration...

I arranged 2 meet Szehui & Sam2 4 lunch. Since it is my bday & i applied leave today, i wna look 4 them at their workplace. =>

It was raining from dawn.

Szehui had 2 fetch me from the bus stop bcoz my train was delayed & i arrived late.

She asked me whether i mind eating vegetable rice (i luv vegetable rice. it's like home-cooked food. i missed grandma's cooking.).

Sam2 was at the coffeeshop waiting 4 us.

They ordered lunch & drink 4 me.

We updated one another on our recent happenings.


Szehui wna buy toto. She used it as a camouflage 2 buy me a 'bday cake'.
Actually, its a chocolate swiss roll w a candle. They sang happy bday song quietly bcoz e uncles & aunties sitted ard, stared at us.

I was very touched, i almost teared. I was surprised by the actions & puzzled. So i asked, did i remind u tt today's my bday? U rmbr?
They laughed, saying when there's facebook & friendster, how can we 4get ur bday?

After the lunch...
They brought me 2 their workplace & showed me ard. It looks bigger than our side.

Szehui showed me her new laptop. It's pink, just like her hp. I told Sam2 2 call her pink panther.

We cracked jokes for awhile. Time flies when we'r enjoying ourselves. We said our goodbyes & hugged.

At home, at nite.
I read my facebook. Szehui posted pics of me.

She wrote, "sam and me enjoyed lunch w u today, hope u don't find our celebration abit small scale .. haha but both sam n me enjoyed lots!" (I really appreciate their thoughtfulness 2 surprise me.)

Sabo... me?

I thought Tracy is going 2 sabotage me, like play pranks and stuff.
Boy, i was too paranoid.

She just wna give me the bday present.

It's so cute. A butterfly-shaped pendant w a heart in the middle (i didn't notice my name was crafted behind). Szehui commented tt it looks like a dog tag (Yah! i think, since it's heavy n w my name on it.). Haha... Heart and ribbon earrings.

Here's the bday card from my colleagues.
The girl looks kinda like me, i have frizzy hair w a big head.

They sang bday song loudly. I asked them 2 quieten bcoz the patients can hear us from in front.
They r so sweet n helpful.

The old ones shook my hand n wished me happy bday.

Kaleen's last day.

It's my TP senior's last day at work.

We gave her our well-wishes.

I hope tt she will like the new job.

She bought some cupcakes for us. So sweet, w our individual names written on it!


She also wrote a thank-u card 4 every1. Mine goes like tis, "... I'm not going to say mushy things here. Haha.. Anyway, remember to miss me ard and study hard for your studies k? You have a long way to go! Everything must 'ren'!! Hehe.. Stay in touch! And I'll see you all next year in school! TAKE CARE! Kaleen, 05/11/08"
