Blog EntryChristmas Dec 25, '07 10:42 AM
for everyone

On the night before Christmas, in the evening I went over to my friend's place for Christmas Party. It was a fun filled party and a nerve wrecking as I didn't really know the people there. Another new group of faces that I have never seen. Fortunately, I knew one of them, and so we've been catching up with gossips. Talking about this and that, soooo pat poh.

We first had dinner in pot luck style (me and my friends bought KFC bucket). Basically most of us are health and fitness freaks, so the food are freakingly healthy and still tasty. I only had 2 rounds of small portion amount of food and I already full. (Guess I am now having a small tummy already)

Next, we had games. The games was freakingly funny and fun. It was thru this games that we got to know each other. Yeah...really funny alright.

The last programme of all was the Exchange Gifts session, and this time they make it something different. Instead of a boring-randomly-picked-the-number-and-matched-with-the-Christmas-presents, they had all of us to write down our numbers only, fold the paper and throw it in the paper bag, and this was done way before the dinner time. So here how it works; the first person draw out the first number, which contains the mobile number only (no name are allowed to be written on the paper, somehow some other people did that). Then the person will have to use his handphone and start calling that number (and all of us have to switch our handphone at normal mode without setting silent mode). Whoever phone rings, it means that person were being picked by the person who drawed the number from the paper bag, and so the person have to come over and hand over the gifts that they brought and hand it over to the 'drawer', and then be it boys or girls, these two will have to show the appreciation, either hugs or kiss.

However, due to the process of the exchange gifts were too long, we just call out the last 4 number instead. During the process, we realised that it was minutes prior to midnight, so we waited for that minute to strike at midnight, and that's when we start yelling each other and say 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' to everyone in the house and start giving a good festive hugs to each other.

Then we had photography sessions, of which all of us took lots of vain pictures. Haha..Christmas is almost over, and so far I got 3 Christmas present.

1st present comes from the previous Christmas Party, of which I got myself a sexy black Private Structure boxer. Damm it for those, but anyway, it's really better than nothing since I"m starting to update my wardrobe, including my undies.

2nd present comes from the exchange gift from my friend; I got Patrick tissue wrapper. It's in yellow, but my friend know that I like dog, and since I was born in Doggie year.

3rd present comes from the exchange gift from last night's party; the biggest present among all and I got one of my favourite; SNOOPY SOFT TOY.

Now my room condition; all my soft toy department were all cramp up till have to rearrange them into positions that they can cramp together.

The Patrick now were wrapped my tissue box and it's so cute.

The Private Structure Boxer has already open but will need to wash them first for hygenic purpose.


By the time I blog about it, it was already 25th June 12.15am. Well, I just can't believe it. My birthday is just over. I only have 24hour time for me to celebrate my birthday and do whatever I want as a Birthday Guy of the day. Anyway..here's what happen

23rd June - Dinner Time
Had dinner with my friends at The Manhattan Fish Market. Ordered the 3people meals with one basket of half dozen mussells with 4 people sitting by the table for meals. I thought it will cost us a bomb and also the food not enough for us to munch. Thank God that, well, all of us were just enough full. (Thanks to the bottomless drink). We chatted lots of stuff, like FS, Music, Work life, Love life, etc....

After that, we then had our photo sessions, taken place at outside Sunway Resort Hotel and also inside. Photo shots were taken by my photo-vain buddy Kev with his new baby NIKON.



We all tested all kinds of angles, position, posture and pose to produce a very nice portrait of ours (freelance rojak modelling), and to some it actually turn out to be good though..(just need to improvise more on the photo quality wise, I guess).

YOU CAUGHT ME, KEV

Went home at around 10pm something, went out again to 'cucuk' money and bought myself 2 cans of friendly-user beer and 2 bars of chocolate to bring back home and munch while waiting for the right time, for the right moment. Prior to midnight, few friends of mine did wished me. Am still ok though.

Just few minutes prior to midnight, few incoming messages from MSN jam up my window and from then I've been super busy entertaining their replies. At the strike of 12AM, that's where from ordinary quiet became very super busy and was flooded with SMS, MSN and even in the websites like friendster, multiply, etc. WAH....If I were to compare this year, last year (2006) and last 2 years ago (2005), this year was the most busiest birthday ever to received non-stop sms, until my phone got lagging while retrieving the message. Well, at least am happy, just that comparing with last year and few years back, during my celebration in KL, I've been celebrated with friends prior to my big day, but not on my BIG day. Last year was even worse when I were suppose to celebrate with friend, of whom later that week he unable to make it due to valid reason (which I would not disclose here), and ended up celebrated my birthday in Genting...ALONE!! Anyway, from 12am until 2am, was still busy with SMS and MSN, chat, chat, chat and then got too tired until I slept.

24th JUNE - Later that time at 8am plus, my mum called me up....wished me birthday, from then, all sms and calls start to flood in again. Another busy day for me.


In the afternoon, had lunch with my friend BUBU at DOME LOT 10. Had my 1st birthday meal of the day for 'CATCH OF THE DAY', followed up Chocolate Mousse Cake to represent my Birthday Cake and chatted like hours before we moved on to KL Plaza and then walk over to KLCC.

BEING COOL AT THE STATION

CATCH OF THE DAY

 
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
 
Once reached KLCC, BUBU started his shopping at REPLAY outlet and bought himself a pair of jeans. Then walked over to shop by shop and BUBU asked me what I want coz he wanted to get me a birthday present. I told him, having you to accompany me around KL and celebrate my birthday is already a birthday present. Anyway, if you want to get me birthday present..hhmm...can. Just that I don't know you can buy it for me or not oh. He's blur. I then reminded him that what I wanted for my birthday present is something that no one will be able to buy them unless miracles happen, and I guess he knew what I'm trying to say. (YAMAHA DGX620..NO WAY LAR..HAHA)

Tried the clothings at Philosophy Men (one of my favourite cloth wear in fashion wise) and Zara. Price wise...WA CHA LEH!!!! Basically, I end up doing window shopping with empty handed while my friend did his shopping. Anyway, my feet was killing me, and it was my fault for wearing the wrong type of shoes for my outing. So we make way to Starbucks KLCC for a drink, and a 2nd birthday cake of the day; Strawberry Cheese Cake. And then, we chatted again.

STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE

FRAPUCCINO ICE BLENDED CARAMEL WITH WHIPPED CREAM

From KLCC, we make way to Times Square with our objectives is to find out the music shop when the promoter got my friend an offer on Maxis's promotional stuff, of which apparently he applied them already. Then we had our walk, hunting for the music shop, and in vain, all of them were closed. Then from Time Square, we need to make our way to KL Sentral to collect BUBU's bag, and then went over to Pasar Seni, down to NANDOS Restaurant at Petaling Street for dinner.

During that time, I wish I could just go to massage centre to get the masseur to massage my feet. I was so freaking tired, and my butt was shaking left and right, just like Donald Duck's butt.

1/4 HOT PERI PERI CHICKEN WITH VEGES AND CHIPS

Anyway, we had 1/4 chicken with sidelines. Not bad, and I had Hot Peri Peri sauced to take with and it was so hot that I almost got myself 'drunk'. Then, went over to Puduraya to get Bubu's ticket back to his hometown as he need to go back home already. Stayed a lil while with him and chat before it's 'TIME TO SAY GOODBYE'.

While on my way to the train station, my feet was killing me, it hurts and sores, and my butt, again, keep shaking to the left, to the right, to the left, just like how Donald Duck walk with his big butt shaking to the left and right. I guess I must be super tired with my outing of the day. So in the end, I took the cab back home. Reached home, tried to boil water but there was no gas, so I have to take birthday cold shower, then rest.

Oh yeah, I do check on my e-mails and I was shocked to see that I have so many incoming e-mails need to check one by one. Most of them were actually a notifications of some websites telling me that there's incoming messages and comments, of which I just need to go in and check them out. And then at the same time, I went on MSN and there's few more people quickly wished me Happy Birthday before the clock strikes 12AM to the 25th June, which is Jeremy's Birthday (my hometown's church friend)

25th JUNE - Overslept due to still exhausted from yesterday's celebration. Although I left the house a bit late, I manage to reached office earlier by few minutes by taking a cab.

Reaching office, was just normal day for me, validating cases, had discussion with team leader and my seniors. Early that time we went out to the makcik van site to buy our breakfast and that's where I told her that basically was super exhausted with my celebration, and all she response is just..Oooh..ok.

Eventually, while I was working on that part, I was asked to compile data so that the team leaders could work out the templates. While compiling, babe told all of us to proceed to pantry for a group meeting. As usual, I just lock my pc and left. However, I was asked to stay out at the moment. For no reason ??

Then suddenly they sang birthday song for me. OMG, now that's really surprising. I almost had tears in my eyes, almost drop 'em. But nah..I tried super hard not to let tears drop from my eyes. And the agents outside the pantry were suddenly staring into the
pantry room to check out on a special event. Really touching.

THE TOUCH ON A CAKE

I thought they were not really attentive with what cake I want, but I guess they prove me wrong. They got me something of which I always wanted though, at least it fits the criteria. They got me Blueberry Cheese Cakes with White Chocolate. We had so much of laughter in the room.

MY BELATED BIRTHDAY CAKE

 
MY BELATED BIRTHDAY SLICED CAKE

THE JOKER

THE BABE

THE WHALE

THE MAMA TURTLE AND THE BABE

THE JOKER AND THE HOLY ONE

THE BEAGLE AND THE CHIWAWA

==========================================================

As for Birthday Presents, nope, no one got me what I always wanted. Maybe miracle didn't happen that time. (Well, almost got it..but nah...I rather get it on my own). So far, no one gave me any birthday presents on my birth date (exception for BUBU). However way before my birthday, I already have 3 advance birthday present, and all of them comes from my hometown

Uniquely Japanese Bowl

SF a.k.a. Mamasan presented me this gift as she learned that I like it very much coz I keep mentioning ot her that this japanese bowl is very nice and it will be even nice to put it up as a display. Oh yeah, not forgetting our Diva Dotti gave me a box of japanese biscuits. Nice indeed, and it's already processed in my tummy.

OSIM Batt-Operated Toothbrush

Usually it doesn't cost cheap ler. I was lucky enough to have them as the bank had sent me a birthday voucher gift and asked me to go over to any outlet and collect them.

 

GRAND-PIANO GLASS GLOBE

Just few days prior to my birthday, sot-sot Connie and I were chatting on msn and then she asked me for my home address. I thought she wanted to send birthday card, which is why I gave her my home address.

Next thing I know is, she told me that she's going to courier the present over to my place. Gosh..and I thought, she's couriering a birthday card for me? Wow..must be nice. Just that, the present has to be delay due to unforeseen circumstances.

Just recently when chatting with her, she sent me a picture of a package. WAIT!?! A PACKAGE. She eventually courier a package to me. In the picture it look like something big. Wah...No wonder why she's sending the item over to me by courier lar. And my biggest mistakes, I gave her my house address, so the present got delayed big time.

Due to my gan-cheong ness, I actually went over to the courier company to collect the item which I was, by right, was not suppose to go out during the certain period of time. (Sorry babe...my big time fault ).

****************************************

Among all the birthday I got up-to-date, I think there's nothing can ever beat with what I have for this year. The most precious birthday gift that I ever could had and will never be able to trade them.

A Ring

Yeah...many friends of mine noticed that there's something on my finger after I got back from my hometown recently and though that someone special gave to me. Indeed, it is someone special. My mum.

Just few weeks prior to my homecoming, my mum asked me what I wanted for my birthday present. Instead of thinking some materialistic stuff, I was thinking one thing. Few years ago, I've observe my mum, grand aunt, aunties and uncles who grouped together and buy a ring, or a necklace, or a bracelet for my cousins. Probably am jealous. Then I was thinking, why did they get those but I didn't have any for myself, except with the silvers by my friends. At the same time, I do not want to burden my mum to come up another expenses just to buy me the stuff, and it will make me feel extremely bad, so I didn't tell my mum what I wanted that day.

Few days later, she asked me again and she just said that she will just try but no promise. So I told her what I have in mind. My point is, I want something that symbolize her love for me as mother-child. She then explained to me that in fact she already got us something for three of us, but only intended to pass it to us when she is about to 'go'.

During my homecoming and after my cousin's wedding tea ceremony ended, myself, my mum and my sister went over to Wisma Merdeka to do a bit shopping as my mum need to bring me to the goldsmith to find the right size for my finger and the cool pattern. My sister were asking what my mum going to buy, and my mum only say 'something lar'. After she bought me the ring, she told me that whenever you see the ring, you will remember me.

Blog EntryBirthday coming soon *KEYBOARD*Jun 11, '07 11:26 PM
for everyone
I can't believe it.. It's about 12 more days before my big day will arrive. What's my plan? I guess I'll only have simple meals with friends though. And a piece of cake, or perhaps a muffin?

I'm sure people will be asking me what I'm looking forward on a birthday gifts, and I did mentioned to them that they can get me anything, except undies and fancy condom from sex shop (don't have to waste money on this).

They are some friends of mine asked me what I really really wanted. Like what I previously mentioned, I always wanted something that I can guarantee that they won't be able to get me. (Unless if miracle happen). Here are my birthday wishlist though;

1) Keyboard (After I tried out DGX520 last saturday, I found out I did tried DGX620 before (I must have forgotten all about it..maybe too excited) and one word....FANTASTIC) I want this one!!


 

2) Digital Cam (since I'm a vain pot, my SEW800i definitely is not enough to capture a very best quality shot of an inspiration view. At least 10m.p. with damm funky functions that it can be so clear to capture a photo of an ant. Cool eh~)

3) IPOD NANO (The more space the better to store my favourite songs) (Now that I joined gym, I need a device that keep me pumping and grooving during my cardio and weight training. Some more, it's light)

4) PSP (It's been about 2 years I've since worked and stayed in KL, and normally I travel around by public transportation. Now I come to realise on one thing. Whenever I do travelling, all I do is listen to music. Scenery wise..boring. I guess it's best to play game sometimes, some more, I can use brain a bit to play game while travelling around at long hours, especially to the time when I will be doing travelling (Penang, JB, Ipoh, even Singapore and Sabah, and probably elsewhere, if I were to travel overseas; UK, Europe, USA, JAPAN, etc..)

Other than that....I'm very open to other gifts, as long as it's something nice and very rare that can be found in the market. Oh yeah....the most important thing of all is, the gift is sincerely gifted by you.
