I was told of a news by my mum few mins ago. My mum knew bcos she knew the ger's father.

Till nw i'm still shivering in fear. Tink bac, i'm reali lucky.

Most of the times i will walk to the mrt station unless its raining or the bus so happened to come. When i returned frm work, i will always walk hm cos its so much faster compared to waiting for bus unless its raining, else i will surely walk hm.

Today a 19 yrs old indian ger was found naked (maybe half naked) n dead at the ground floor of a blk tat i will always pass by. She was suspected to be raped n threw dwn. Why the hell would someone stripped herself n jumped dwn naked rite??? So most prob she was raped, maybe gang rape. Not sure yet. Police r investigating.

On hearing this, i must say i'm reali lucky. Been walking tat path for so many yrs n THANKFULLY nth happened to mi!! If i'm the victim, i reali duno hw sia............. Dun dare to tink of it. And so happened tat these few days i always managed to catch the bus so i havent been walking tat path tis wk. Only when i returned frm work. Perhaps its fated. Fated to escape the tragedy.

Sometime back, there's tis ger almost gt raped at a rubbish chute opp my hse area. She was dragged in at nite bt luckily the ger shouted for help n was heard by some ple frm the coffee shop. So, she was saved. Bt its still so dangerous. Tat area is my daily route to work aso. Looks like yishun is reali dangerous. No wonder the hse price is so low.

So frm tml onwards, i shant tak the risk animore. I'm gona tak the bus hm. Reached hm latr bt at least its a safer way. Hopefully the police will nab the murderer(S) asap or maybe shd let the ger haunt the guy(S) everynite. Must make them worse than dead.

It’s been 13 days since I’m officially declared an adult. 13 May is my bd & 2dae’s the 13th day. So qiao.

Aniwae, lots of things had happened this month. Firstly, on my bd party, Myanmar was hit by cyclone n China’s Sichuan encountered a deadly earthquake on 12 May. Fortunately its nt on May 13. If nt it will b like sheanee’s bd – 11 Sept.

The earthquake reali set mi thinking. However, there's too much for mi to say right now. Too many images, too many stories, too many tots in my mind. Bt i just wanted to say...

"We shd b glad tat we r born in a disaster-free country (at least for nw). Its already a blessing."

Aniwae, put aside the sad stuffs. The main purpose of this post is to blog abt my actual bd. Hee.

Dear took leave to celebrate my bd again on my actual day when i tot i'm gona find plans for myself. Was actually tinking of goin shopping alone n buy lots n lots of tings to please myself. He must be afraid i will use up the credit limit tats y he took leave to acc mi. WAHAHA.

Bt i dun reali spend tat much or i shd sae its hard for mi to find sth nice to buy. Just like slippers. I can tak months or a yr to find 1 tat i'm satisfied wif. Bt recently i bought 3 pairs in 1 wk time. Hee.

Aniwae, both of us went harbourfront in the noon. Its my 2nd visit there. Well well well, seriously there's nth nice. LOL. In my opinion lar. Nth nice for mi to buy aso except for tis shop "Mother's Garden". I love the stuffs there. SO SWEET!!!

At 1st i tot its for babies or kids. I saw tis soft ball n was telling dear,"The ball is gd for cookie miki." Then he said,"This is for dog or human?" Without tinking i told him of cos is for human lar. Bt hu noes ard us were all dog stuffs. LOL. Dog beds, clothes, accessories. Opps. Hahaha....

Saw this nice bunny top n wanted to buy for Miki.... So cute rite???


Bt then Miki cant fit in the size available. Ha. She's getting FATTER!!!!!

Went Dian Xiao Er for our lunch. 1st time lunching there. Managed to get a seat with this view. Bt bcos of the construction in progress, the scenery wasnt tat great.


My 1st time seeing the train. Haha. I noe i'm a mountain tortoise bt just keep it to urself, ok?? Ha


A pimple tat appeared at the wrong time. HAHA.


The nice herbal duck. I love the "dang gui" taste. Excellent. Bt the duck meat isnt tat fantastic.


Herbal soup. Well, im in love herbal stuffs since young. Bt dun expect too much frm tis. It isnt tat great. Soup restaurant's herbal soup is still the best.


Tou-fu. Cant rmb wat isit. Bt i tink is called as "Ma po tou fu". Nt bad. Has a very homely taste.


The nice nice fish. Only available at Vivo branch. I ate 80% of it. HAHA.


Yummy Yummy!! Nan de i finished my rice. Haha. Cos i'm super hungry.


Bt overall the food is nt bad. Worth trying if u gt the time to sit dwn n enjoy the food.

Aft the meal we went walked ard n so happened to see sth so interesting.

This little boy is EXTREMELY CUTE!!!!!


Everytime he walked a few steps, he will sit dwn on the floor, even if its in the middle of the path. He will jus sit dwn there n eat his swt while his mother stood there looking n calling him. (His mum is the 1 wearing the white 1/2 pants n pushing a pram.) Aft sumtime, he will stand up, walk a few steps n sit dwn again. SO CUTE RITE!!! And he seemed to be extremely interested in those special markings on the floor area. He was sitting on tis small circle in the middle of no whr when we 1st saw him. SO CUTE!!!!!!!

I was tinking if tats my son, shd i scold or shd i lauf??? Ha. Bt i realised sth, i nv see Caucasian mothers scolding their kids in the public. Realised tat??? Its always the Chinese mothers scolding the kids like nobody biz infront of so many ple.

Aniwae, 3hrs aft the lunch, we went for dinner. LOL. Had it at Sakae


And had my 2nd cake at hm. My all time favourite fruit cake frm my dear.






I wish.....................

Ok I know I haven been blogging for a long time. Ha. But pls excuse me, I was bz with my party previously. (So this post is going to be a super ultra long post. Most of the photos will be uploaded here. You can save it if u want. Save the trouble of me sending to everyone. Hee) Weekends weren’t rest days for me n my dear. Both of us were bz sourcing n preparing for my party stuffs.


2nd May 2008, Friday
Checked in Aranda at near 6pm. Was quite late bcos dear got lost n I didn’t know how 2 read a map. FYI, I failed my Geography. LOL. The suite wasn’t to our disappointment. It was indeed big enuf for 50 guests but it was kind of too dim n the curtains made it worse. Not quite used to it.

The living room


The view from the balcony - WILD WILD WET.


The pantry




The master bedroom




The toilet was not bad.


The twin bedroom




Went in put our stuffs n headed for our dinner. I remembered I was super hungry tat day so we bought KFC back to the suite. Yummy Yummy!! Ha. After filling our stomachs, its time for work. Put up the wordings tat we made n deco the room with some balloons.

Our specially made wordings.


In the midst of pumping n tying the balloons, I heard some noises from the balcony but I ignored it for the 1st few times. Till I kept hearing the repeated sound & so I asked my dear if he heard it. He said, “Ya, maybe it’s the ple next door.” And I really tot it was from next door cos we happened 2 see them b4 we entered the room & they were kind of noisy. So we continued with our work.

Till around 9pm, when we were done with the balloons, we sat on the sofa & watched TV. The 9pm drama - “The Truth” was airing the last episode tat day.

In the midst of the show, I heard the same sound again & it’s from the same place. As the sofa was very near to the balcony, it was kind of loud n obvious tat the source was from outside the window, at the balcony. But again, dear told mi its next door thus we continued with the drama.

Well, although he kept saying is next door (trying to assure mi), I was actually feeling quite scared n puzzled by the noise. The noise was sth like the tapping sound. Like taking your slipper n “slapping” the floor. But since dear kept saying is next door, I tried 2 ignore too.

But it was hard. The sound was getting louder n more frequent. As I’m the timid one, I started to wonder if its dirty things cos I really dun feel good about it. Dear knew I was scared so the brave him went over to the window, paused for a second & drew open the curtain.

There was nth.

Actually, I’m glad there’s nothing, else I’m gona freak out. I don’t think I can take it. So again, dear said, “You see, there’s nth. The staffs are cleaning Wild Wild Wet lar.” Cos WWW was just below so I tot maybe he was right. Aft tat we were back to the show again.

As we were focusing on the drama, the sound came AGAIN!!!!! This time round it was from outside the door. I’m very sure the sound was just outside our suite’s door. But didn’t open the door, he just watched the TV & kept assuring me it was from next door. However, I wasn’t convinced. I was kind of frightened by the frequent sounds n at the same time feeling annoyed as I don’t know what or who was the caused of it.

Aft the show ended at 10pm, I told dear I wanted to go home cos I don’t feel good staying there. Our initial plan was to make a trip home b4 my darlings fall asleep & return to ACC cos I’m afraid they would not want to sleep without seeing mi at home.

I know its kind of waste $$ to leave the suite empty for the night but till now I still feel glad that we didn’t spend the night there.


3rd May 2008, Saturday
Woke up at 8am & went for breakfast with my dear. Around 9.30am, we reached ACC and started our preparation for the party. On 2nd May, we only made some balloons cos we were worried that the balloons will shrink over the night so we continued on Sat.

In my mind, I could still rmb the sound that I heard on Fri so actually the 1st thing I looked out for when I entered the room on Sat was my wordings. I was wondering if there’s really sth else in the room, maybe they will destroy my happy birthday wordings & my balloons??? But I was kind of relieved that nth happened. They were still in the right position as on Fri.

The living room with the curtains down.


The room was bright in the early morn n so we drew the curtain and dear started pumping the balloons but… all the balloons that he pumped, burst. At 1st we both thought was bcos the balloons were too big tats y they burst. So I told him to make the balloons smaller. Hence, he continued pumping but made it smaller this time round.

But strangely, the balloons continued to burst. Both of us were puzzled. Aft tying the balloons n leaving them at a safe place, they still burst. The weirdest part was not bcos they burst, its bcos of the way they burst.

The balloons were all burst into many small pieces. Like being torn & shredded all over the floor. Usually when balloon burst, you will still find 1 big portion of it n maybe 1 or 2 small pieces of the balloon. (This was tested by my brother who burst a balloon himself at a later part of the day.)

But what we saw wasn’t like that. Each time a balloon burst, there was like more than 10 small pieces scattered all over the floor area. I really don’t understand why were the balloons all torn into many pieces? Any one know y?? Maybe its bcos we were thinking too much??

With the continued bursting, we wasted 1 packet of balloons. Fortunately we’ve got extras. So dear paused for awhile n went 2 draw open the curtain. He then continued with the balloons. Well, surprisingly no balloons burst aft tat. Bt I wasn’t thinking much that time. I tot it was just coincidence.

But dear knew things weren’t simple….. He’s been keeping the truth from mi…..

Our simple decorations








After messing with the balloons, we went tabao lunch back n got ready for the party.

Testing testing.


My Guest Book


I’m expecting my earliest guests to come at 4plus so around 4pm, dear had to go White Sands to collect the sushi that I ordered. B4 he left, he told mi, “Don’t close the curtains.” He even repeated this twice but I wasn’t thinking much so I said, “Ok” & didn’t ask y.

Fortunately it wasn’t long for my friends to come. They came shortly aft my dear left but I’m not yet changed. Quickly, I drew the curtain (totally forgetting about what my dear said earlier on) & got dressed. Think back, I’m really glad nth happened during tat time.



My 1st group of guest - my polymates.











Followed by my 2 old friends, my dear’s sch mates.



Then 2 of my buddies, Vien & Cherry.



They were the ones who finished all the salmon sushi & not bcos I didn’t order salmon!!! HAHAHA.



5.45pm - here's my buffet. Yummy Yummy!! Anybody want order nice buffet can msg mi.













Slowly the crowd started flowing in. From 4pm+ to as late as 8pm+. Most of my friends turned up except for 6 guys who agreed to come but never & another 2 guys turned up by surprised. But I’m ok with it. The more the merrier. Ha.

My fairy godmother. WAHAHA She's a very nice mother & a gd cook. I always rmb her scolding my mum when my mum punished mi when i was young. Hee.



Here they come






My sec sch frens










My buddies. All of us were in BLACK!! So neat!! We nv discuss abt the color b4.


My dear cousin who DIY such a meaningful present. So touched but... WHY MUST YOU CUT MY PHOTO!!??!!


Cousins. The guy in yellow was my photographer for tat day.


Gottcha!!

My relatives viewing at my presents n guest bk.




My pressies!!


An irressitible mango cake from The Royals. Trust mi. This is nice!!

We actually 4gt the most impt ting of the day. LIGHTER!!! None of us had gt a lighter tat day. Luckily we managed to borrow from our neighbour.


With my dear. The flower was frm my cousin too. Looks like our rom?? LOL


We are always short of 1. Tats Sheanee!!








My godparents.


My family & relatives aka the OLD generation - given by my little cousin.


This is wat he called the NEW generation. LOL




Fortunately i've gt my ahyi to divide n cut the cake for mi. Cos i tink tats the toughest part. Ha


Say CHEESE!!!



After the cake at 9pm+, its time for goodbyes. I hate goodbyes!! But there’s nth I can do. It’s the end of my party. Friends started 2 leave 1 by 1 except for some still gambling in the room & some intending to stay overnight.



The rest were my family & relatives. They started gambling too but not with $$. They were doing a good deed for me. WAHAHA. And that’s playing “Dai Dee” with the punishment of eating the remaining food with lots of wasabi!!! Serious. LOL.



I think that’s the main highlight of my party. HAHA. The worst thing was there’s limited amount of water for them!! But they seemed to be enjoying themselves. As a host, of cos you will be happy if you see your guests enjoying.

But I felt so guilty as one of my guests lost his slipper. Till now, I really don’t understand why is the pair of slippers lost??? The strange part is, eventually I got back a pair of SHOES & SOCKS!!!!! Why would someone wear a pair of shoes with socks and left with a pair of slippers??? Weird right?? I’ve asked my guests but none of them wore the wrong shoes home.

Aniwae, it was a successful party. The cake was commented excellent, my buffet dishes were great, the venue was an air-con place & its spacious. Everything turned out well.

Without the help of my parents, the both of us created such a wonderful party. But of cos my guests played a big part. Without them, it wouldn’t be a nice party. And also, my photographer for that day. WAHAHA my FOC photographer!!! Without him & HIS CAMERA, I wouldn’t have so many nice photos to share. LOL.

Having party is always fun but the clearing up is tiring. Both of us spent around 2 hrs clearing up the mess & packing our stuffs. It was super tiring. Standing for the whole day, walking here & there taking photos, talking to my guests, my legs finally protested in the night. But I couldn’t possibly leave my dear to clear up the mess alone. He was tired too. So hurriedly we tried to clear & went to bed at 3am+ that night. Immediately, I fell asleep. Goes to show how tired I was.


4th May 2008, Sunday
Woke up at 8am & prepared for checkout at 9am. Cleared the remaining that we were too tired to do on Sat night while dear started carrying the items to the car, a few at a time. I’m so grateful to my dear. He had been helping me out with my party from the start to the end.

“Thank You so much!! If not for u, this party wouldn’t be so successful.”

On our way home, dear started telling me what happened in the suite.

Still rmb on Fri night, I heard the tapping sound while watching TV?? Dear actually knew it wasn’t from next door cos the sound was very obviously just outside the window, behind the curtain!! So he chanted something by himself before he drew open the curtain. That explained why he paused for that second.

And on Sat morning, the balloon mystery. He was wondering was it sth to do with those things, so he made some chanting quietly by himself. Think that was the reason why the balloons didn’t burst after that. And another reason could be the curtain was opened with the sunlight shining in.

It’s no good to have your house dim unless you want “special” guests. But if it’s really bcos of those things, I wonder what they did to burst the balloons. Tear with their long nails?? EEEEEeeee!!!

Another weird part I had forgotten to mention was, on Sat night after almost everyone had left and my dear went to bathe and changed out his long sleeve shirt, I realized that his right under arm had got a big patch of red mark.

It was really red at first. I thought he knocked onto something when carrying the items but he said it wasn’t painful. Neither was it itchy. But it was such a big portion. Measuring around 10cm long & 3-4cm wide??

He said he suspected it could be the work of those things. Maybe they did it when he was alone in the toilet. 1 reason was he was the one who said the chanting & perhaps they wanted to teach my dear a lesson. 2nd reason was when he reached home, he wet the leaves that we Chinese often used aft returning from a funeral and hit the red area gently. And amazingly, 90% of it disappeared!! Isn’t tat weird??? The next day, there wasn’t any red patch.

Thinking back, I’m really glad that none of us were harmed. I can’t imagine what gona happen if it’s a powerful or evil one. Guess I won’t be going back there anymore. Although everything is nice but I prefer a place where I can stay in peace & not in fear.

Aniwae, here's all my presents. The little doggie is frm my little cousin. Cos i always tell her i want her toy dogs so nw she bought 1 for mi. So cute of her.

"Everyone, Thank You so much for coming & also the presents given. I love them!!! Hopefully you guys like my gift card too. It was kind of rush to have everything done perfectly but overall I think its good enuf. Something for you guys to rmb & most importantly, it’s personal."
