I love celebrating birthdays, but i absolutely dread it when my birthday draws near.
the anticipation kills me.
i'm excited but i don't want to get excited because i am a firm believer of 'the higher you go, the harder you fall'.
and so i put on a front and act like i don't care so that i would really believe that i won't care. But the anticipation always sets in and so i end up getting so conflicted and annoyed with myself!
urgh!
what a torture!
to make things worse, things often pop up hinting that my birthday is going to suck. and i get super sensitive. a small little thing happens and i go. i knew it, my birthday is going to suck. it's so annoying i want to shoot myself.
and so anyway, lovelies celebrated my birthday for me, both from Singapore and Australia:) ♥
Met up with Jodie and Joy for dessert and this is what they gave me! "couldn't resist making this into the gif when i was given such an interactive card". and the card sort of describes what happened during my birthday LOL! i bet they gave me this lunchbox recipe book as a hint that i should start eating proper food during lunch. oops. so sweet of them though!
This came in the mail just a day before my birthday from Ashley! with a little cactus which i really hope won't die!! i can't believe that we've known each other for like 4 years? you're definitely one of the gems that i found from fish and co :) "don't regret working at that outlet even though it is so busy and sometimes some things happen to make us feel annoyed haha. So touched to see the 'i miss you!' at the first part of the sentence. and when i read the part where you said that distance really matters, i felt so sad. but then i actually felt so nostalgic about the times where we would just meet up randomly to chat or have a meal, or to study etc. it was so easy. and i'm so guilty about the 'not replying whatsapp'. I can't wait to go back to SG and spend some quality time with you!!! ♥
Poly Clique's messages to me:) came one day before my birthday too :) and i bet it's deliberate of them to actually find a card with a picture of a bird in front. I miss spending time with all of them! whether in a group or alone when we are just so random. :) Although our farmville seems to have grown and shrank and grown over the years, i still am grateful for knowing all of you! With all our different characters, it seems so unlikely that we would blend well together. Well, I'm glad we did! :D
and so this is how i spent a large part of my day - reading in a cafe along elizabeth street:)
poor Melvin had to carry 21 apples to me at the cafe with a bouquet of flowers with strong wind. (because i was not supposed to be out of the house according to his plan) - too bad i always spoil plans. LOL.
arranged by YiJun - super sneaky of her to fb message Melvin. it would just be so Melvin to accidentally let slip that he received a message from YiJun. well, at least i didn't pry to see what they were gonna do so i was still surprised! "although i must mention that the 21 smth did pop up in my mind". YiJun, that's so you! HAHA! people say that i won't be able to finish the apples. i proved people wrong, the apples are almost all gone now. LOL! it's only been about a week. HAHAHA
Melvin came to the cafe to find me again after going back to put the apples down at my place, insisting that i should stay at the cafe and not move about. *sounds suspicious?* and so we went to have dinner together thereafter at this rather expensive Spanish place. the food's nice, but very pricey! tried rabbit burger for the first time! (even though it was like bite sized lol!) because it was a meat patty, i think i wouldn't know it was rabbit meat unless i was told what it was? it was like a mix between pork and chicken. and so we took a slow walk back home!
along the way, Melvin kept messaging Jodie, thereby leading me to hypothesize (too much psychology in my mind, JUST HAD TO USE THAT WORD) that the two of them were planning some sort of surprise. it certainly didn't occur to me that they were already in my apartment! (and had decorated my room whilst i was having dinner outside!) *toucheddddddddddddddd. :)
and this was their home-made tiramisu for me! :) by the three girls ♥ we were chatting till quite late and i think the neighbors would be pretty annoyed with us but it was only a day! :) so sweet of them to plan my birthday :)
another one of the earliest presents i received by Sherman! so sweet of him to draw this! so touched leh! St Kilda's Sunset hahhaa. wouldn't have expected this actually! especially when he has all his projects due now!!
and this is from Melvinnnn. so typical of him to buy me kitkat! "which is the reason why we started talking actually" LOL. ♥ although you are always screwing things up without knowing haha but that's just you! :) hehe. like i said, im a bad girlfriend who annoys my boyfriend and spoils his reputation
and while we were making a hell lot of noise, someone suddenly knocked on my door, making me think that a neighbor was telling us to shut up. but it turns out to be Hannah and Charles who just got back from their trip with chocolates and a cake!
a few days later SuYin suddenly appeared with a present for me! totally unexpected! i was really super surprised that she went to get me a present because she doesn't actually know about my birthday. haha. :) so sweet of her! and she made a photo and pasted in the card too! ♥
another few of the early presents that i received through the mail! this time from Taiwan sent by Joyce who was there on a holiday:) wah i really miss the bumble bees. all our random moments and meetups. baking sessions, etc.! :)))♥♥♥
I think this is the earliest i received my present. I was surprised to see happy birthday actually and i went "it's my birthday already meh?". haha! With so many stickers which is absolutely can't bear to use!
♥ all of you people who ♥ me! :D hahahaha im so narcissistic.
