COINCIDENCE?

How is it that on 26/12/2004 it's the tsunami, 26/12/2006 it's the Taiwan earthquake and many decades ago 26/12 was Mao's birthday. I think Mao's birthday would've been the worst 26/12 ever haha.

Ok, cut the crap, I have A LOT to blog. We'll start from Wednesday!

Met Eng Kwan at the Park Connector at 11 plus 'cos he wanted to pass me my present before he flew off to Vietnam.
What is this? This is a tiger. HAHA OMG it's so cute la! Wanted to use it to store my cosmetics buuut it's a tad too small =P.

In the afternoon I met up with Steven 'cos he said he wanted to get me a present. Went to Tampinese Mall. Couldn't find any Garfield stuff so in the end he bought me a pair of ear rings from Perlini's Silver.

The fun part only started in the night =).

Went to Germaine's cafe. It was opened by Uncle Kheing Sin but Germain took over after much training.

Half the family was there. Grandma, Aunt Siew Luan and Uncle Ming Guang, Aunt Siew Khim and Uncle Alan, Daddy and Mummy, Germaine, Jojo and I. When Daddy, Mummy and I just reached, Daddy was sooo hungry he asked for his food first lol. He had teriyaki beef with rice.

Food was AWESOME. We shared a serving of soft shell crabs, a serving of calamari, TWO servings of tako balls and TWO servings of golden mussles (mussels coated with cheeeeese). Aunt Siew Khim and I each had a bowl of baked dori pasta in white cream sauce, Aunt Siew Luan had carbonara, Grandma had fish and chips, Mummy had this udon thingy, Uncle Ming Guang had some lamb ribs (his dish looked the BEST la) and Uncle Alan had...some udon thingy too lol.

Daddy bought a cup of Blue Hawaiian too haha. Yep, it's alcoholic. And it's for me =D. When we finished our food, it started to drizzle so we went into the cafe to sit. We were eating in the open area before that.

We sat around for a while and all of a sudden Germaine came out of the kitchen with a small little cake. The cake was tiramisu cake from Savoury Fare! The mango cake my parents bought was from Savoury Fare too haha. I think Savoury Fare has the freshest and nicest cakes ever!
1. Daddy, Mummy and I.
2. The Grandma I love so dearly =).
3. Half the family! LtoR: Uncle Ming Guang, Aunt Siew Khim, Grandma, Mummy, Daddy's blocked head, Me, Uncle Alan, Aunt Siew Luan, Germaine and Jojo.

Had a few more presents. A pen from Aunty Siew Luan and some mini Garfield display toys. I was sooo darn happy x).

Stoned at home on Thursday. Friday? Went out with Marcus Teo. Was late though heh for 10 minutes. In other words, popcorn was on me.

We watched Stranger Than Fiction. HELLVA GOOD MOVIE. Yes, it was my second time 'cos the first time I watched it I was so so so tired I fell asleep during the middle section. The climax part.

After the movie I went home to get the list of things I need for baking. Yep, I'm baking on Sunday! A coconut cake for Mummy and a coffee cake for Daddy. Woot! Eunice is coming over to help too! Wahaha.

I went to NTUC, Cold Storage AND Giant. Shopped for like...close to 3 hours?! Lol. And I was still short of three items. Msged Sherry and had to get her to help me get 'em.

SATURDAY. TODAY. Sherry was late! Haha I realised when she's early, I'm late. When I'm early, she's late. When I'm cold, she's got a jacket for herself. When I've got a jacket for myself, she's cold. We're so totally opposite la! Not to mention I love maths and hate science, she hates maths and loves science. HA.

I went to get the tickets first to save some time. Tickets to Night at the Museum and Blood Diamond. Yes, yes, we watched Night at the Museum the second time. Toldya it's GOOD.

I met Sherry at Cineleisure's entrance and went down to Cafe Cartel together.

I was sooo hungry that when they served us free bread for a starter, I immediately chomped down two slices. Sherry had one. The bread was GOOD oh-kaye! Haha.

I ordered mushroom and ham pasta. Sherry didn't know what to order so she asked what I also wanted to try. Forrest of mushrooms! Haha today was a mushroomy day!

Th pastas were GOOOOOD! Sherry even liked hers too! I finished mine man! Sherry couldn't finish her mushrooms lol and she still had to finish her cup of cappucino freeze.

I had my very awesome cup of ice cream. Forgotten the name but the number's 161! Haha. The ice cream is totally aaawesome man. From the top: biscuit, cherry, an oreo biscuit, whipped cream, cookies n cream ice cream, crushed oreo cookie, cookies n cream ice cream and another layer of crushed oreo cookie. I couldn't finish the last layer of crushed oreo cookie man! And we were running late already haha.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM WAS STILL HELL GOOD AS EVER. I still laughed at my beloved Eastern Island Stonehead and Sherry still laughed at her beloved Jade Lion.

After Night at the Museum, we slacked around a little, exchanged gifts, visited the washroom, and WENT IN FOR BLOOD DIAMOND. We also bought family combo popcorn haha. No ice lemon tea though =\. We both had a can sprite each instead.

After the movie, I felt so guilty for every single piece of diamond jewellry I have. But I'm glad I bought none of them. They were all given. So it's not my fault! Haha. The movie was good man. Good good good!

After the movies, we went home =).

On the way to Somerset MRT, I saw Seah Jia Qing and his gf, Tiffany. Yep, the Project Superstar contestant number 2546, who's also from my secondary school and also my friend.

In the MRT, I saw Chin Hock. On the way home along the Park Connector I bumped into Shannon. Wow eh. Saw so many people today haha. SHANNON! I still remember where you stay hor! =D

Sherry's present for me:

HAHA I super loved the card! ESPECIALLY THE BALLERINA SHERRY DREW! AND THE GARFIELD! It goes as such:

"To De Xin,
Dear Girl!
Happy Belated Birthday! =)

I almost had a seizure when I paid for this card, didn't realise it was so expensive. Lol. But I know it's what you want and I aim to please (especially on birthdays). I did not really want to get you anything on your wishlist because...somehow I think it wasn't REALLY what you wanted.

Although my present may not be the best, I do hope you really like it. When we first met, I didn't really think we would hit it off - to be honest, I only sat with you because there were NO other seats left. Bad huh? :/ But somehow - we just sort of became friends. Not the I-love-you-you-love-me best pals - but the "I'll be there for you no matter what" kind. (Think amaths) :)

Really much thanks to you for helping me in amaths. And all the fun late movie times, THANKS FOR THE WET FISH N CO! Memorable times. Hope we have somemore.

I know we are still gonna be friends, 10, 20 years down the road. Just don't forget me when you've made more friends. I will think of you everytime I see {arrow points at Garfield} and Ballerina stuff. ^^ I promise a MUCH better present next time. xPROMISEx

I'm really really (I mean it) gonna miss you a lot when you leave. You're my favorite girl of the month (December) and will always be. :)

I hope you have a good time in university studying all the things I hate ( I {heart sign} science, hate math). It's gonna be real different but I will remain the same. Be smart, don't get bullied and remember, I'm always a phone call or email or msn away.

I really appreciate you more than ever as a friend and love you lots.

Hence, I enclose a pin. Good luck charm and defense against the bad guys. (You can poke 'em with the pin if they touch/bully you) The {red heart sign} brings luck in love, and I know you want that. =)

Take care girl."

Aaaaaw hahaha and below the "And for THAT you want a PRESENT?" she wrote "(but of course I gave you something :))". She's so sweet right!!! And the Billy Elliot DVD! No wonder she was asking me the other day if I've watched that movie before haha. Yes I have but I'll still love the DVD! I don't have to watch it in CCHSM's library! HAHAHA!

Oh and that lovely t-shirt. Pretty ironic huh. Billy Elliot DVD and Boys Can't Dance shirt. LOL. Sherry even left an Open Season postcard in the plastic bag.

Let me also explain the WET FISH N CO. It was raining like m-a-d and the junction outside Fish n Co was partially FLOODED. So we stepped through the water when we walked to Fish n Co and stepped through the water AGAIn when we walked back to The Cathay from Fish n Co. TWO FEET WASHES! xD Sherry so loved the feet washes lol.

Sherry you're my hero! You're the bestest of all bestest! I hope my card's not too empty though hehehe. And enjoy the 2046 DVD! You've got something to cancel out in your wishlist already. x)

I went out again after I reached home to put down my stuff. Had to go NTUC to buy caramel syrup. On the way home I saw a big FAAAT cat haha. So reminded me of Garfield if not for the difference in colour.

I so enjoyed my day! And there's more tomorrow! Church service with Eunice (FINALLY), lunch out with the church people (which also includes Eunice), baking in the afternoon with Eunice and CG party with the church people at Mandarin Gardens!

Oh sorry the cakes are for my parents. None for you readers! Heh sorry ar.

Mummy's getting a coconut cake, Daddy's getting a coffee cake. There'll definitely be pictures, don't worry =).

Will he come to protect me when I need his protection?
