祝我自己生日快乐

Image
 刚才和一班女朋友们一起吃午餐。 谈下谈下,谈到了昨天替好朋友庆祝生日的狼狈场面。 昨天,很尴尬,很狼狈,很凄凉。 她很可怜,尤其是切蛋糕仪式时,根本没有人理睬她。 我们不是不要睬她,只是知心朋友坐得远,近近的反而不当一回事儿。 我们知道,她并不是每个人最喜欢的一个人,毕竟大家都是有缺点的人类。 可是他们也不会做人啊,人家生日就给她面子吧,为啥要一脸很不爽的样子为她 ”庆祝“ 呢? 朋友啊,对不起,我们让你失望了。 然后啊,谈下谈下,又说到了自己上大学之前,身边朋友是怎么为自己惊喜庆祝生日的。 三个、四个谈得如火如荼,说什么通常惊喜派地都蛮尴尬,因为总是不懂如何去面对。 又说,什么朋友最棒,因为曾经为了自己的生日而付出了这么多这么多,做了这个那个,这些朋友不必多,一个两个就已经很够了。 而我呢,坐着那边静静不出声,面对着一大盘意大利面,猛把食物塞入嘴巴。 听就好啦,我心想。 她们还很兴高采烈把自己的故事一五一十讲到清清楚楚,人家怎么替自己庆祝生日。 说什么其实不必买蛋糕庆祝,买张卡片也开心啊。 不必收礼物,只要有心就好啦。 我心想,其实啊,你们是不是在说空头话。 因为人家常常送礼物给你们、替你们庆祝生日,应该是庆祝到有点闲了吧? 但是人家又给你惊喜的时候,心里还是会很爽的。 想想下,我根本就记不回去曾经有哪一年是人家替我庆祝过任何生日的。 惊喜的也好、明显的也好,好像一次都不曾咧。 可是也不能怪我朋友啊。 谁叫我在大家忙着考试的时候才生日呢。 每一年都是一样的,无论小学、中学。 最多是中一的时候,全班为我唱生日歌,然后我每人派两粒糖果,就这样草草了事,因为接下来就要考试了。 所以啊,刚才她们一直重复说着自己有多幸运的时候,真有点羡慕哦。 家里庆祝,都是妈妈煮我最爱吃的菜来庆祝的。 好感恩。 因为我生日点妈妈的菜,平时都没得吃,全因为都是妹妹最不喜欢吃的。 所以一年才吃一次。 蛋糕我也不要求,派地也不要,应该是习惯了自己一个人,也许是一家人,孤孤单单过生日。 从来没有朋友为我开过派地呀。 可是朋友的派地就多了,也许是我有点儿内向、或者自小从不受欢迎,出席也没怎么把我当一回事儿啊。 每年收到的礼物,一只手也数得完。 ...

Start of a new phase

Image
I've only just realized that my last post was nearly a year ago. So it's entering my fourth week in uni already, and honestly I've never missed home more than anything before. But I guess the one thing I miss the very very most is the washing machine. And the piano. I've been hand washing my clothes for so long already and it's giving me biceps just squeezing all the water out after soaking them in soapy water. Although the clothes are generally not too dirty (they just get sweaty and smelly real fast here) it's still a lot of work and I honestly wish the machines in my block weren't malfunctioning all the time. Plus, even if the machines work fine, I still doubt the hygiene of it all because you just simply don't know who's been using it or what dirty laundry has been in it... I just wanna bring my entire washing machine here XD Assignments are starting to pile up too. I don't know how some seniors do it, because I find myself very busy mos...

July in a Post

Alright!! Finally I'm willing to sit down and write something. I guess this is already looooong due... So I'm gonna cover a few of the stuff that happened last month. I'm really really behind in my updates... But then, what else is new? * * * So... First of all, Wen Yen's birthday outing!! Our little group of girlfriends (the WY's, Ee Wei and I) had a birthday dinner at Secret Garden. Ee Wei drove. Well, bless her darling soul, Wen Yen said that this dinner was on her. Actually I didn't really dare to order the really extravagant dishes (the prices are kinda outta my range) seeing that the first page of the menu was for a RM 490++ Wagyu beef... Kinda scary... o.O I had lasagna. Pretty decent salmon and spinach lasagna. My only complaint is that the dish was way too large and I couldn't really finish it all by myself. It was delish, but too big. Otherwise I might give it a rating of 4 stars out of 5... :) Enough talk, it's photo time!! ;) ...

Of minions and stuff

Old selfie. <3 I wonder if anybody missed me? That's more than one whole month without blogging already... and I feel so bad because I keep abandoning this poor, poor blog. Oh, and I finally figured out a way to join two of my emails together in Blogger. Which means I can sign in and blog using either one now. Hahaha. This is so awesome!! xD So what exactly have I been up to lately? Nothing much, basically just catching up with schoolwork and doing occasional sketches here and there... :) I kind of like the heart shape in the speech bubble design. Maybe I should make it into a T-shirt design or something... :D I finally got to watch Despicable Me 2 today!! Gosh, after waiting for so long. We've been talking about it since Thursday already and every time kena FFK. So very happy to finally watch it today... And my friend said that I laughed the hardest in the whole cinema... =.= Unfortunately, I didn't get to buy the Minions from McD th...

Girlfriends Day

So, we've been planning this trip since the last time we met and we're so glad that we actually made it!! All four of us had an awesome shopping spree in KL for a straight 12-hour period, of which 5 hours were spent in the train. =3= But still, it was AWESOME!!! The train was delayed for about 40 minutes due to some 'technical problems' at the KL station. We stopped in the middle of nowhere with only green grass in view and the KL tower outside the window. 40 freaking minutes without moving at all. Texted my dad and he texted back "well, you are in bolehland after all." Hahaha xD Anyway we finally reached KL Sentral after what seemed like forever. I'd already watched the movie the train was showing twice. Poor Wai Yan waited since 9.25am. And we reached close to 10am. Awesome. :/ So after that we just took the LRT straight to Berjaya Times Square to start shopping. Until around 4pm. I'd already spent about RM65 there. Then we proceeded to H...

Surprise Party!

Image
I should have blogged about this a long time ago. Like, last week. Hahaha. But then, it's better late than never ever ever right? So we threw a surprise birthday party for bestie Wai Yan last Sunday. She thought it was just a normal long-time-no-see-each-other-since-we-left-high-school gathering 'slash' dinner. And we really played it quite well; she never suspected a thing until towards the end, when we started talking loudly about desserts and winking at each other. xD Outfit for the day. :) Sorry for the blur pics. For some reason my camera decided to blur itself for the night. :/ Cranberry Mocktail at Berlin's. Not bad, just kinda tasteless. Too much ice, I presume. Fooooooodd!!! I LOVED THEIR CARBONARA!!! That's like the bestest pasta I've ever tasted. Hehehe :D And of course, not to forget a group photo. Stole this photo from FB. IKR. Hahahaha. There's Wai Yan and her rainbow cake, made by Wei and Krys... :) ❤ ❤ ❤ ...

Waiting for the Apple

Image
"Wait," they kept telling me. "Be patient. God has everything under control; everything will fall into place eventually, in His time. Don't rush." Hi. Let me introduce myself. I'm a nineteen-year-old teenager who simply adores shopping and designing. I love food and I have the tummy to prove it. But all these are irrelevant to what I'm about to say here. Did I forget to introduce myself? Let's just call myself En. That's my nickname. :)   Allow me to give you some background info. See, the place where I was brought up, I was taught that I should always wait for God's perfect timing in everything that I do. In other words, it's like Que Cera Cera. Whatever will be, will be. So I always have to wait for someone or something to happen, but I shouldn't initiate the happenings myself. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippia...

Bloody rats

Image
So, my worst nightmare came true today. RATS DISSECTION. I have said many times before that I hate the sight of blood coz I get giddy and over-sensitive every time I see or hear anything gruesome. Or gory. But it was time to face everything today... It was a DO or DIE... x.x I couldn't stop hugging my books and stationery in the lab. I refused to put them down anywhere because I suddenly contracted a case of 'bio-lab-ophobia'. Then the teacher went through the procedures orally and then demonstrated the dissection on a rat. I ran out of the lab and teared for a while. Eeeeek!! After demonstrating, she saw me standing outside the lab. She knew I had haemophobia so she told me to get something from the office. I happily went and returned as slow as possible. But when I came back everyone had barely started on their rats. I stood at the door and refused to go in but she insisted I stand at most only 1 meter away from the rats. :( So in I went, wincing at every table. Poo...
