my 20th birthday

oh man OH man oh MAN!!!
i became an owner of my very own harness today! oh mannnn
now super duper excited to try it on while leading.
my very own!
=D =D =DDD
i had a pretty good birthday(:
esp. considering the timing this year.
before engaging in the oh-so-exciting task of studying for next week's paper,
i had lunch with Reg and Jud after their (gd! yea!) paper this morning; V, Jiawei anddd ZX (yes, Canada ZX! hahaha..) joined us too at munchie monkey's

around midnight plus our room was visited (and at the same time i was chastised for my ultimate pinkness plus messiness) by okr fellows brian ken hh yixiang jansen + fel who helpfully brought snacks-for-studying which somehow included a persimmon; certainly not smtg u rcv everyday

before that Jud had given me a lovely little wooden scrapbook she made herself which i can't stop flipping through - it's like holding a handful of prettiness - that i had to put it off my desk in order for me not to keep picking it back up and looking through again!

i feel like i'm gonna spend my time holding and playing with my presents instead of studying uh-oh!! ^..^

last last night too we celebrated marisa's birthday which was the day itself and mine too although for 2 days later (: at vivo marche and many many people came because next day's hari raya haji (public holiday) so it was a great excuse to take the evening off! there were so many of us the lady got flustered trying to seat us all and eventually we almost occupied the whole inside section with the big tables by ourselves (well three-fifths of it maybe). i loved the ROSTI of cos with tons of cream, and Reg, Ken and i later shared dessert which was a "super super sour ice-cream" (R.Huang, 2009) raspberry flavor and mango fruit slices on top of sweet crepe with marscapone sauce YUMMMMY and fun to eat cos the ice-cream was so saliva-inducing. hahaha ok tt din sound so good, but it was

when i went home (after missing a weekend home for the joy of studying) linda excitedly presented a cheese mousse cake with mixed berries jam which the little girl was so proud of. w 5 almost-out candles by the time i reached the table cos linda insisted on my walking all the way down with my eyes shut when i reli wouldnt hv been able to see a thing anw since i was walking in the opposite direction -..- then we did the usual family activity of watching whatever's on tv till we fell asleep. haha
