That Special Birthday Of Mine

Last Friday was my birthday and all I did was stay at home and play games (Tetris Battle and Team Fortress 2) practically the whole day.

Marcus had called me to go to 1Utama previously to celebrate my birthday by hanging out and having cake but on Saturday itself, he said that they failed to buy the cake, I had already suspected something since Marcus's call. We, Marcus, Kuui, Yati, Kar Loke, Josh, Luke and I went for a lunch at Sakae Sushi after walking around aimlessly before playing a game of pool and then catching The Darkest Hour. After that, Marcus said we're gonna go to Kuui's house to play Naruto. Since Kar Loke and Marcus were driving, we split into two groups. I had to go to Bata to find new shoes for Chinese New Year so I did and they didn't have my size so, oh well. We headed out.

Along the way, Kuui and Yati tried their best to trick me into thinking that we took the wrong road and went towards the direction of the park near the BU Community Hall. In the call Marcus made, he accidentally spilled it by telling me we're gonna have cake at the park so I saw it coming. The surprise was Vicky was there with the cake, also Hee Ching was there too. After the traditional birthday song, they tried to make me get my face as close to the cake as possible so that they can shove my face in but I resisted all the way. Kuui even tried to slap cake on my face after it was served but he fail because the tissue the cake was on flipped and saved me.

While Vicky and Hee Ching went back home, I pulled out my old softball glove and the rubber baseball Kuui got for me and we played around a little. When Marcus got back (he dropped Vicky home), we all headed to Centerpoint. It's Left4Dead time.

We played until it got dark at Blitzone then went back to 1U to have dinner at Chili's. We went to look for Melvin who took a part time job at the wine section at Jusco. His shift was almost over so we got a bottle of wine and went for Chili's together. Through the whole day, Kuui made me not pay for anything, he paid for me, that made me feel bad. At Chili's though, he ran out of cash, I finally got to pay for my meal. FINALLY! Hehe.

My dad called me so I couldn't have wine with my friends. Think again! I told my parents about what we were going to do so they dropped me back at the BU Community Hall where my friends had gathered for the wine and I got to sleep over at Kar Loke's. I just didn't have a change of clothes but oh well, had wine.

Yati was sleeping over at Kar Loke's too. I played his Project Diva that night which sparked me to want a PSP to just play Project Diva (and maybe God Eater).

Next morning, Kar Loke's dad took the whole family and the two of us to have dim sum. After the meal, we went back, lazed around for a while and headed to Josh's house to pick him up and then headed to Centerpoint where Marcus and Kuui were waiting for us. I don't know why but Yati and Kar Loke did not want to play L4D with us so we went ahead, played a whole map and then attempted to play Starcraft but the whole thing lagged and crashed so we left. After lunch at KFC, we went to Marcus's house to spend the time. While the others played PS3, Marcus let me see his anime disk collection and lent me a bunch of anime. We played a racing game before parting our ways.

Kar Loke dropped Josh and I at The Curve and we hanged around a bit before Josh left to join his parents. My family came later on and we had dinner at Bubba Gump.

3 days of celebrating my birthday, an almost surprise by my good old highschool friends and fantastic dinners. This year is probably the most fun I had celebrating my birthday. Thanks everyone.

2012

Oh hey, it's a brand new year. I'm looking forward to another year full of experience, inspiration and ideas. While 2011 was coming to an end, I went back to my parent's hometown in Penang and visited my grandparents, meaning no internet. I was 'disconnected from the world' for a week. I guess I got some inspiration in that duration without internet, did I?

Unfortunately for me, I slept through the new year fireworks and had to attend a funeral for my late aunt on the 1st. Even so, it's a memory I won't forget, probably the first time I cried on a new year's day.

Classes in college has resumed. Pretty early I guess and my birthday's around the corner, another year older huh. Not that exciting but I'm looking forward to hanging out with my friends this weekend and the birthday dinner with my family.

I had a lot of artistic plans for the December holidays but like usual, I got really lazy and left a painting of bacon strips in progress.

Whatever this year has installed for me, I can't wait!
