happy belated birthday to me!

hahas. i was busy preparing stuff for yesterday and calling up people, confirming who was coming and deciding whether there was enough food. then suddenly, i received an sms.

it was from nureen. at first i thought it was about the table tennis table, but it said:
thia shi ting! happy birthday! :D it's 12 alr right?! hahah.

wow. i didnt realise it was midnight already. was sent at 12am. so i texted her back and we discussed about the booking of the table tennis table.

three minutes later, i got an sms from matthew which was:
happy birthday! haha. just realised the time. am i late?

so i texted matthew back while texting nureen about the table tennis table.

jiajun's was four minutes after that:
yo st! happy birthday! all the best for next year, and have a great time tomorrow yea? bye! :)

so i texted jj back and said he was a cutie while texting matthew back while texting nureen about the table tennis table.

at 12.21am, vanessa texted:
happy birthday :)

so i texted vv back saying thanks while texting jj back replying that i wasnt chio while texting matthew back while texting nureen about the table tennis table.

and i received vanessa's e-card at 12.45:

ahhh! ouran! (:


in the morning i checked my inbox again.

wendy texted at 1.25am saying:
hey shi ting. i cant make it to your birthday party... my mum don really allow. so damn la. haiis. anyway, happy birthday and i wish your party a snashing success!

and from vera at 1.45am:
hey! happy birthday twin! hope u stay happy 4eva. sry abt the party thing. smile kay

then on the way to sleppy platoon meeting, atiqah called to wish me a happy birthday and informed me that she couldnt some to my party.

shuangyu called me and i met her at the bus interchange waiting for yunqian. i sat down beside her and she wished me a happy birthday.

then we met our platoon mates at jurong east (where there were a lot of irritating people asking you to donate money for cancer patients or to do some survey) and we went to some place near some hdb blocks to paint the flag.

i was smsing benjamin as he was asking stuff about the party and he suddenly remembered at 12.28pm:
yea. oh shyt.i 4got. HAPPY BDAE mei. mwah!

and beatrice texted at 12.37pm:
eh, me and wendy cannot go leh.. cuz she grounded then i not going cuz she not going :( sorry. anyway. happy birthday!

but i kinda persuaded her and she went in the end. wahaha, im good.

amalina came late and wished me a happy birthday too.

we sat around the flag discussing the colours before painting. i just sat there, being an extra watching them paint. they are so evil to have a platoon meeting on my birthday.



ningyi helping to paint..

yunqian beside her also painting..

that jian he guy brought a laptop (AHH I WANT ONE) and that aung htet guy typed the script for the campfire performance that he came up with as his handwriting was.. difficult to decipher. then he let us read.

wenxi texted at 1.09pm saying:
happy birthday... may all your birthday wishes come true.

i was feeling very urgent and needed to pee so when me, shuangyu, amalina, and yunqian left early at 2pm, me and fish ran to the bus interchange and i rushed to the loo.

we ate lunch at long john and then went to westmall's green adventure to buy camp stuff. then i rushed back home as there was not enough time to prepare for the party.

and the party was a disappointment so im not going to think much about it because it sucked and it was my worst party ever when i thought it would be the best because it was the first time 20 people (beatrice, nureen, shuangyu, chrystabel, melina, yiting, xueli, jingyi, peijun, denise, vanessa, debby, yunqian, shiya, kuankeong, jiajun, mingshen, paul, benjamin, weijie, thanks for coming) came and the first time i celebrated on 13th dec itself, but the stupid weather was so unforgiving because it just had to rain.

i shall tell you the summary of the party in a robotic fashion. reached home and bathed after meeting. went down with jie to do water bombs. brought kk and nureen into the condo. feared that it would rain. brought jj paul and melina in next. they went to the table tennis table to play. it rained so i brought melina and nureen to my house as the guys still want to play. went with nureen and meet vanessa and xueli and benjamin and matthew at cck mrt station. peijun and denise came. then beatrice. then jingyi and shuangyu and yunqian. brought them all to my house. let jingyi use the computer as she needed to do something and her computer at home is spoilt. brought down food to start fire as it was drizzling. debby called and i went to meet her and yiting and chrystabel at the gate and brought them to my house also. then shiya called and i went to meet her at cck mrt. she said she saw some of my class guys so i called the monkeyboy to meet him and anna then we went back to my house. brought down more food and everyone went down to the bbq pit. was supposed to do water bombs secretly but my friends wanted to make too. was also supposed to have started the fire and cooked food already before anyone came as the guests were not supposed to help much except to help eat and play and interact but the rain prevented us from doing so. everything was not going the way it should be. meanwhile, the guys were still playing table tennis as the extended the time until 7pm. luckily i had mother to order cooked otah and satay and nuggets. it rained more again and some people went to one side of the swimming pool which had shelter and was supposed to be used for people who were swimming to put their belongings there, and some other people went to the shelter on the other side. so i changed my job to a free labour waitress and had to serve both sides using an umbrella and covering food with aluminium foil. the st john people jumped into the pool and were swimming here and there. then jie boasted to me that she and kk trashed the others in table tennis. after a while she decided that this couldnt go on so she started the games by asking all of us to gather and play charades but the anti social boys ran away to block 71 as they wanted to ruin my party so only the girls played. then the st john people came to my house and used my towels to dry themselves and change clothes in my toilet, and after a while weijie and mingshen came up also dont know why and we all watched disney channel's the american dragon and vanessa and xueli also came up and i was thinking, wah everyone want to go home is it come down and take their bags or what. but actually vanessa came up to get her camera or something so i went down with them and we started the water bombing. then we went after the boys who took their bags and looked like they were leaving without telling me or anything and i had a direct hit on jiajun and benjamin. then the guys left rudely which was just as well because if they wanted to just come here and sit down and talk and be served with bbq food and just play table tennis, they can go to a COUNTRY CLUB. loads and loads of people were leaving which i just do not understand because my party starts at six pm, and dont tell me a party just lasts for only 2-3 hours. also, during my primary 4 bbq party my friends left around 10 to 11 pm, so i do not see why at 14 years of age, they have to leave earlier than 10 year olds. plus, they live nearer to cck, not like my friends from nan hua, who lived in the west or all over singapore. so in the end we did not get to play treasure hunt which was planned and all the other games we could enjoy. we cleaned up and slowly everything was cleared. then i felt like shit so i cried. everyone went back except melina, who stayed to chat with me and my sister. then she left and we went back home and i opened my presents because there couldnt be a present opening session.

i am super glad i did not take any photos during my party cause it sucked and there wasnt an opportunity to because i was so busy. was also scared that camera could get wet anyway.

birthday testimonials!

i dont know who the hell is this weirdo! why cant she not harrass me on my birthday?

LOL. but i dont understand the "dont get any wrong ideas from the present" part? thanks anw.

my mother just showed me my baby book! haha so funny. i was born at 12.48am, 13 december, and my name is supposed to mean mei2 hao3.

she also showed me my kindergarten photo from church of the holy cross playcenter. spotted allen and francis, the guys who went on to nan hua pri and were my p1 and p2 classmates. allen went to bukit view and joined st john and jy and sy who were from the same platoon as him last year during basic NCO said that he's an ah beng. lols. and francis was in the same platoon as me during p6 camp, and we both left early and missed area cleaning because of piano exams. i remember we were both told to read out stuff for some performance while holding a thick and small bible during k2 or something because the principal claimed that i was good in english. and i saw daryl! i didnt know he was from the same kindergarten as me! in fact, i only knew he was my p5 and p6 classmate until my mother told me he was my neighbour last time before we shifted. he looked so cute in that photo. and i spotted beatrice!! ahahah. she looked sooo cute last time with two ponytails and i can remember her always sitting at the back of the school bus chit chatting with her friends.

haha okay. stop indulging in reminiscence. i have to go pack my camp bag!

in case you're wondering, i will have advance nco camp on the 15-17 dec, which is tomorrow. i will have to wake up at 5am to meet the others at 6 and we will set off to reach there in time at 7. oh my gosh. will be dimissed on sunday, about 5pm. scared leh. tomorrow i platoon I/C! ahhhh. but after this no more advance. only passing out parade lah, which doesnt really count.

just make me sneeze when you miss me!
