Another year has passed and I'm now 22. Time really flies huh? Lol. Anyway, this year it was really a rush as all of us had so many things to due during these 2 weeks. CSE students even had to go back to sch on Friday, a public holiday to sit for a CSE test :P. Then that night, Mike brought me for dinner at Junk and then to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3! Which by the way, was really really good! All those Jack Sparrows! Unfortunately, when buying the DVD for my mum earlier, I accidentally saw one of the important parts and Henry told me something about the ending :P which I didn't really believe. Luckily I didn't bet with him on that or I'd have to buy him the Pirates watch. I bought the RM10 popcorn special just to get the Pirates car sticker.. hehe.
On my bday itself, I woke up early to help prepare the food and etc, but spent most of the time working on my FYP semester report :P And my mum kept wondering why I was glued to the computer n not helping her. Whatever she asked me to do, I'd nod and say yes, then forget about it or just do it halfway. What to do, if I told her I had 2 reports, 2 presentations and 1 assignment due next week, she probably won't let me have the party. Haha! Even my cat had taken a bath..coz he was too smelly already.
Around 5, I went to pick up my chocolate cake from Secret Recipe where I had to wait for quite a long time, since they hadn't written the message yet and basically service is still pretty crappy lo. There is no real order of lining up, the employees still lo lo...but it's also quite sad I had to go order my own cake...ahha..the employee taking my order asked what msg I wanted so I said "Happy Birthday Andrea", then she asked my name and I was quite embarrassed, "Andrea also." then she laughed :P
Anyway, it was pretty much a rush to get ready and take bath. Geez, after taking bath, I still felt all hot and sweaty and it didn't help that the living room air cond didn't seem to work. Surprisingly everyone was early or pretty much on time. I felt really stressed out coz everytime someone came my grandma would go "Girl, someone's here!". I mean, of coz I know but I'm busy serving other ppl drinks etc....and they kept nagging me to ask everyone to eat but they were all busy playing Big 2 or mahjong...so wat to do right? BLEK.. the cocktail bar idea was cool but too tiring coz it was supposed to be my bro who did it, but of coz I ended up doing it coz he didn't help n was too messy :P plus it didn't help with him and my dad complaining about everything I did though it was according to recipe...haiz...all the nagging nearly pissed me off
But the presents I got, made up for everything! Here's a list of the loot I bagged:
- Pink and silver pendant on silver necklace from Chiet, Yi Chan, Thong Wei, Cheryl, Stephen, Lydia
- Round pink cow lamp from Aileen, Dian, Hudy, Kwang Houg, Siaw Yen, Alex
- 2 sets of my photos framed from my uncle Jeffrey
- black Nike handbag from Mike
- pig and pre-order of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! from Serena, Jenny, Chime, Kevin, Alex, Yang Yaw, Mindy
- Jack Sparrow figurine with motion-activated sound!!! from Mike, Henry, Ching Yi, Seng Hock, Dominic, Burger and Siew Hie

The framed collections of some of my photographs from my uncle.
The rest of the presents: Captain Jack Sparrow, cow lamp, pre-order slip of Harry Potter 7, pig, pink necklace and black Nike bag :DEverything was really really cool and just my style....so I was really happy with everything....till I overheated the next day. Lol!! I had diarrhoea and was rather nauseous from the next afternoon. After finishing my semester report and slides and sending them off to CY, I kinda conked out till 8pm for a dinner of plain porridge. I stayed on the couch watching Love Actually with my mum n shivering -_-||| despite the blankets. It got worse much later when Mike came and he had to take care of me with a wet compress, medicine and water. Later he had to help me up to my room and tuck me in with all my water, compress and medicine all nearby. Of coz he ended up exploring my very messy room and all the books but oh well.
All the yummy food which I myself didn't get to eat too much of coz I was so busy running around! Clockwise from left (9 o'clock): Green salad, potato salad, baked chicken wings, fried wan tan, tuna pasta bake, fried bee hoon, watermelon, pieces of fried chicken breast, and tuna spread.
Captain Jack Sparrow and his 2nd love, alcohol/rum (his 1st love being the Black Pearl, or himself?)
