Sush's 19th Birthday...


Mom always said that friends do play an important role in life. But they come and they go. I always believe in the saying that 'friends walks in and out of your heart, but true friends leave footprints in your heart.'

Recently, someone had actually asked me to list down what I like most about my friends. My reply was - easy! I hang out with them most of the time, we know each other for like 7 years now.. how hard is it to list down what I like about them?

Easier said then done actually. I was having a hard time listing down what I like about them. Somehow, it was tough. Prolly because I'm not so good with words or rather, words could not describe them.
Why do I find it tough to list down things I like most about them? Everyone has their pro's and con's and obviously everyone would like the pro's rather than the con's. But somehow, as I thought about it, 6 years.. this year would be the 7th (it does not seem long) but 7 years had thought me alot of things. I remember the first few months adapting to college life was difficult. The classmates I had was different. Everything was different. Somehow, I can't find friends who are almost alike like the ones I used to hang out in high school. I wondered: How come? I mean how hard is it to find friends who are alike like the ones you used to have? all you have to do is just find people with the same personality, people who has the same wave length and wala! you found your new friend.
Not so easy. I came to realize that 7 years have much impact on my life. I've learn to accept their weaknesses, things which I don't like about them - everything about them; whether I like it or not, has come to be part of my life. Like maybe things you see about them seems weird to you, but in my eyes, I see it as something normal. =)

Enough of ramblings. I'm suming everything up into 1 line: I love them all! =)

On Friday (4th Feb) Sush was at my place, looking through the pictures I have in my computer and she came across the pictures of her last birthday bash at her house. We realized that time past so quickly. Again, yesterday was Sush's birthday. We were at first, planning to surprise her with a birthday bash, but last minute; plan change, due to Lim Su-Hsien who invited us all to Pizza Uno for dinner: her treat summore, and as I quote Jo, "she paksa us to jalan mati only" ... anyways we went on with dinner, and planned to surprise her at home with a birthday cake. We were actually late for dinner. Which was kinda a usual thing because we are girls and I had to look pretty for Sush. That's what she said in the sms when I was at Jo's place.*^-^* So I had to go home and change to look pretty. Dinner was fantastica. ^-^ the food was absolutely mouth-watering and the company, was needless to say, SO much FUN! and healthy. Liss said that we should have more of this kinda event. Everyone of the dahlings turned up for dinner, well almost everyone except for She Dee. After we were done with dinner, while waiting for desert to arrive, Sush went, "HEY! where are all the camaras?!" >.<" We are proven to be super camwhores.

 
Liss is always the first person whom I start of with taking pictures. So she gets to appear first in all the pictures! =)

Lemme present: Pizza Uno's yummy x1000 YUMMY.. did I say YUMMY? mud cake! *tahdah*


and the Tiramisu which is lack of cheese. >.<" But it still Sush's favourite!

 
Min Dee savouring the yummy ice cream! ^-^

 
group picture of the dahlings! =)
Left starting from the front: Mel, Manda, MinDee, Melissa, Me.
Right starting from the front: Jolene, Chien, Abby, Sush and Mun Teng.


And guess who we bumped into when we were about to leave for Sush's house?
Alfredo! - Vice President of the Interact Club of Seafield. Subang Jaya is indeed small!


on the way to Sush's place - while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.


Bad attempt of camwhoring in the car: the people in the car on the right hand side was laughing at us! *grin* stupid things we do while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.


Very glad that the guys we acting very un-malaysian-ish. They reached early, about the same time as us lar.
After that was Liss, Abby and Amanda, and then Sush's parent came home just in time for the surprise too!!

Chien went back home to get something before dropping Sush home. Sush came home, and her mom answered the door. And when she walked in, everyone shouted really loudly, "SURPRISEEE!!!"

And her reaction? P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S!


hehe.. as you can see! she was shocked!^-^V she's SO gonna kill me for putting this up here.


I think she's crying now. ^-^V the plan worked!
that's May-Hsien sitting at the back, and me near the cake. I carried to cake out. =)

and P/s: Jo; "I like your beautiful hair!" - I must admit and take credit too.
I like it too! >.<" syiok sendiri.

 
That's Chien's cute birthday candles. It spells out 'Happy Birthday' - so cute right?


that's the banana chocolate cake from Secret Recipe the guys got for Sush.. *yummy*


our official cake-cutter - Chien. What will we do without this girl? =)



This thick face woman asked me where's her birthday present. I'm sure she was looking forward to my present! =) and yup! she was pleased with it. What can I say? We are excellent birthday gifts buyers. It's a personalized erm? blankie? or rather airplane blanket as David would call it; from Jolene, Meldee and I. Li-Hsien on the left. =)


Me, Mel and Abby. We're gonna miss you abb-ster! ^-^


Sush and the guys.
Anti clock wise, front:
Nigel, Marcus, Kevin, E Guy, Kuang, Chang Song, Chung Guan and Sush.

After the cake session and everything, Chien suddenly came downstairs and she started passing around purple scrolls. We were wondering what was in there. And as we unscroll it, we realized that it was what she had asked each of us to list down things that we liked about each other and she compiled and edited them... All of us were almost in tears when we were reading it. (dare not tear due to mascaras.) Chien is one amazing friend.. ah! words cannot describe her! She's a wonderful girl and our precious jewel, aight gurls?

We <3 you, CHIEN! ^-^ *Loadsa hugs to Chien*



Meldee happily reading, Chung Guan all so ready for the camara, Jo laughing, and Liss blissfully reading. =)



thanks Chien. It's really something. Words cannot describe how lovely this is. <3

<3 Abby and Amanda looking so pweetty here! As always. =)


Abby, Mun Teng and Kay Hong. hehe! He looks so funny! =)


Girls seem to have this thing of taking pictures where ever they are, even in the kitchen.
Mel, Jo and Liss.

 
Jolene-yang-amat-hiau. Prolly can use it for some commercial dontcha think so?

and more camwhoring moments:-







We decided to leave at around 11.30. Didn't want to kacau her parents!
And guess what did the guys decided to do when we were heading out?


they walked and then stopped for a while; together in one straight line blocking the whole road. what idiots! hehe - they look like some backstreet boys video clip thing.


more camwhoring moments with Abby on the way back to Puchong. Jo fetched Abby home to Puchong together with Mun Teng and I in the car. SO brave. hehe!

 
Look at the tang-lung lights they hung to decorate the place where Abby stays. Puts people in a chinese-new-year-mood. hehe!

^-^V wonderful night, don't you think so? *muax* to you all!

It's a HAPPY day.. and more happy days to come!


It's Saturday! I am happy. Aren't you? ^-^ SERIOUSLY I've got the whole week off. *wahahaha* and my lecturers are being so mercyful this holiday; Miss Anne left us haging in part 3 of The Knight's Tale: so we don't have much to do; Mrs Ong - my drunk law lecturer, let us off, cept that we're suppose to study economic loss...(like hell anyone will do it) and econs, haihs don't need to mention lar, I know nuts about it - On Friday, teacher asked to do some mcq questions on the paper, Eunice & I end up 'tembaking' every question. Seriously we know nuts, and Ming Choi & Evo were reading. haha. That's what we do during Econs. Sometimes, Eunice will bring her theory to do. And I'll be trying hard to understand what is she saying, but somehow it sounds like greek to me. ^-^

After my last post about - in need for shoes, my lovely friends have posted up messages to tell me the amount of shoes they have. GAGH! >.<" NOW I am desperate for shoes. Please compare the amount of shoes they have and I have:-

Myself:-

basically, I have:

2 pairs of Addidas (basically they are not mine; one's my sister, one's my mom's, but I wear em cos I cannot find the perfect pair of sport shoes)
1 pair of flat which is my slippers
1 pair of kitten heel pointy-toes
1 pair of pointy-toes (that's formal)

I WANT:-

1 pair of nice strappy heels
1 pair of nice canvas sport shoes
1 pair of nice kitten heels

not asking my much right? *innocent puppy eyes*

Melody:-

dahling, girls ALWAYS need shoes :)
i now have, officially,

6 pairs of sports shoes
2 pairs of pumps
4 pairs of heels
1 pair of flat pointy-toes
6 pairs of sandals


and...erm..sure got more, wun. and i still want more! mwahahaha.


Esther's conclusion: YOU. *points at Meldee* YOU DO NOT NEED MORE SHOES!
NOW I am desperate for shoes!


Sush:-

Hmmm......my turn my turn

1 pair of sport shoes
1 pair of pumps
8 pairs of heels
1 pointy toed shoes that have died
2 low heels
2 pairs of walking shoes
No flats. *except for my gorge flip flops*

Conclusion: I need flats. *grin*

Esther's conclusion: YES YOU NEED FLATS! but you don't need heels! full-stop.


Jolene:-

wow i can't even name ..
esther the worst is liking it, and it doesn't have a size.;(

my measely collection:


Deceased:
1 pair of kiddie strap ankled shoes
1 pair of sequinned thongs
1 pair of Roxy flip flops

Alive:
1 pair of Reef flip flops
2 pairs of flats
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair sportshoes
1 pair of boots(never worn, just bought it coz it was rm50, Vincci, smelt like leather, and I wanted to own boots)
1 pair of casual wedge heel sandals
1 pair of clogs(remember m glittery flowery one?)
1 pair of kitten heels(prom shoes)
2 pairs of high heels(should take it out to wear...)

aactually that's quite a number.*ponders*

Esther's conclusion:you suck! YOU do NOT need shoes anymore. but you still can come shopping with me. *grin* ^-^


ANYONE UP FOR SHOES SHOPPING ?

Warning:
I might walk into the shoe shop try on everything, look at everything and walk out without buying anything. I am choosy! & the worst part is when there's so many nice ones, I can't make up my mind which one to buy. I admit that I am a very shitty person when it comes to shopping.

In need for SHOES!


Aaaahh! I need shoes. I need SHOES!! >.<" I know Ming Choi and Eunice and maybe Jolene and David would be rolling their eyes! I'm sorry for being so fussy and picky and choosy about things; I can't help it! seriously. I can't find anything I really like. When I shop I need to get the best out of the best. I mean who doesn't? You must make your money worth it right?

When I shop, I go for what I am for, for instance, SHOES! so I head to almost every shoe shop - trying to find the perfect pair! In the process of trying to find the perfect pair, you try own a zillion kind of shoes, and when you finally find 'the-shoe' which you have this feeling it's the perfect shoe, you get that kinda feeling whereby it's meant to be for you, and you feel so hyped up and can't wait to wear it. =) that kinda feeling! hahaha. you can all stop shaking your head now. I really need shoes. =/ I really do.

Anyways, today's Jan's birthday! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear JAN!"

and I shall head off to sleep now. gudnitez you lovely people. may you all have the schweetest dream!

the wonders of ice cream


I am happy! *woot* Did I just say that again?! *grin*

Hrm, I had 3 hours of sleep.. and I'm still quite awake. AMAZING right? Okaye. It must the ice-cream! hahaha. Eunice, Ming, Yen Sue and I went to Baskin at Parade to treat ourselves Baskin. It wasn't exactly a treat ourselves thingy but oh well they had the 31% off thingy mar, and it was freaking worth it, so yeaps BASKIN for all of us!

Was expecting Monday (the worst day of the week) to be like any other Monday = Moanday.. yeaps, the usuals, kena charr from Law teacher - which surprisingly she came in and zoom like rocket about tort, and left. Literature was even more syiok, because we had to do a presentation tomorrow, and so we were given 2 periods free to do our research on the greek gods. :) Econs was as usual, seriously, I know nuts - die lar!




All in all, I'm contented with everything! *grin* Ice-cream does wonders I tell you!!

Emo-Esther


As was predicted - shitty week!

"plain shitty-shitty-shitty!"

Other than results, other than crying - borrowing a nice shoulder.. and not silently (and I couldn't borrow any.. so yes I am still standing strong on my own.. hopefully), other than heaps of homeworks.. not achieving anything great.. (and since when do I actually achieved something great?) - nothing seems to be going right. Nada.


Well, tell me exactly what went right? okay other than getting such a wonderful parking space today! *whee* and IKEA was fun! (you guys know I lurvee IKEA!) and well, prayer meeting tonight was one of the best I've been to!

I actually see myself as a jovial/happy/hyper person. Or am I not a jovial person? haha! anyways yeaps I see myself as that. And somehow, I portrayed that kinda personality or rather character towards my college mates. I fret and complain alot, but when it comes to showing real my real emotions; when it comes to crying out loud or rather feeling helpless and depressed or maybe sometimes hurt, I try to hide it. And I think I'm doing a great job. It's not that I purposely want to hide or anything like that, but it's just me. I can't express it out. I simply can't. And I don't want people to see the sad side of me. It's like when someone says something really hurtful, I'll just smile or laugh it off.. or rather just turn away. My mom always says that I keep things to myself. And it's true - I really do. But i can't help it. I can't. Maybe it's the bring up. Or probably because I am the oldest and I have no one to turn to - so most of the time, I'd just keep stuff to myself. And burry them deep deep down, and try not to bring it to the surface again.
I feel secure when everything's deep down inside. When I don't show it. Don't know why. It's just me. (my really really close friends would actually notice this!.. or they have not?)

What about crying? and crying aloud? Everytime I want to cry, I'd tell myself not to cry because it's not worth it. And because crying is silly. And I try to be strong, and not let that feeling of wanting to cry take over. Mom always go, 'no point crying.' that kinda thing. I used to cry out, just when I wanted to. But now, I hide them. I've come to realize now, the soft side of me, is fading away. And somehow, I want it to come back. I wanna cry whenever I wanna cry. I just feel that I'd feel much much more better after crying. Sadly I couldn't. Just can't. It's like something's hardened inside me.. and I felt really frustrated. Really really really frustrated with this whole emotional thing. I have NEVER encounter such problem in my life. I, myself find it weird.
