HAPPY BIRTHDAY(in advance) JOLENE!

My best friend is FINALLY 18! Oh well, technically at least, because her birthday's only on the 27th, but since we've already celebrated it together, I already consider her as an official 18 year old:)

Now, to begin my recount of this successful event: I smsed Jolene to "chope" her one full week before the actual day, since I know Jolene as a very popular and busy person. I told her that Amy and I wanted to meet up with her to celebrate her birthday. What she wasn't aware of was that the other 18-year-olds were going to be there too.

She was going to meet Amy and I at Somerset MRT at 7.45pm. However, before that, Amy and I rushed down to town immediately after Youth Ablaze to buy the birthday badge from Toys'R'Us and a balloon from Party With Us.

The 2 main party planners in the cab on the way to Orchard

We gobbled down our dinner at Subway in Cineleisure, thinking Jolene would be on time. But, nope. The birthday girl had to be fashionably late. She only arrived at 8.15pm, at which we promptly presented her the birthday badge, something she had to wear the entire night.


Then we walked to Centrepoint and she had to ask for her balloon from the store assistant


We then began our walk to Plaza Sing. She didn't know where we were going though, I just told her that we were walking to a place where I reserved places for us to enjoy dessert together. And that she would be blindfolded the whole way there.

Jolene kept saying, "Oh my gosh so embarrassing", but I think Amy and I were even MORE embarrassed because we could SEE people staring or laughing at us, not Jolene.

The whole point in blindfolding her was to keep her in the dark of where we were going to. However, Amy and I were dumb enough to let slip of the direction we were walking in. Here's the short exchange that took place between the 3 of us:

Amy: Lynn, this is the place I was telling you about.
Lynn: OH... So you wanted to come here for dinner... Hmm... Orchard Hawker.
Jolene: OH! I know where we are now!
Lynn: Oh my gosh Amy, we're so dumb I tell you.

Soon enough, we reached Plaza Sing and Jolene was surprised!



Our present to her is actually a money-gift for "The Bag Fund". Jolene's looking for a dark brown leather tote bag but hasn't found the right one yet, so we're just contributing to the bag fund. The voucher was designed by Alekx!




And FINALLY:

A photo of the 2 of us! I'm really proud to say that we've known each other "from birth"! :)

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
