i guess the first to celebrate my birthday would be my mum who came down to KL. got a pretty bag and a few pairs of earrings for my birthday presents. heeeh.


Jill surprised me with a cake at 12am. hehe. ^^ and so coincidentally, it was the same cake that Mei Kei told me was delicious. haha. it even matches my birthday card. 고마워!

 with CG in Kimchi Haru. the cake was delicious, so were the company! thank youuuuu *hearts*

celebrated with Chareessa and Mei Kei too but no pics. D:

and a one-month belated one with the boys.

all in all, i was very glad to be able to celebrate my 22nd with people i love. ah, here goes another year. i can only promise to continue doing my best and to strive to be the best person i could be. its gonna be another adventure. ^^

I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22

been gone for too long, haven't i? it has even started snowing in Korea. i do apologize. i would say i was out living life but erm, that might not be accurate. haha. still, the past month and the half have been somewhat good, much better than my pre-Korea time (only because instead of being a hermit, i'm going out more often).

lots have been happening; Daddy's birthday and the fact that he's back for a while, meeting up with my girls and only realising very belatedly that we should have gone out more often when we were still students together, traveling back to Ipoh to attend a wedding, lending my face and terrible acting skills to two productions, school stuff, graduation, going out and meeting new people, yeap, all that. busy busy busy. i'm not complaining, no, i think i quite like it despite the dent its putting on my wallet but there is no price to the times i get to spend with my family and friends. heeh. ^^ plus plus all the good food that i've been gobbling. so blessed!

i guess i'll let the pictures talk. its easier that way. mind you, there's gonna be a few and not chronologically arranged at that too. they go all the way back since September. gosh, i'm such a terrible blogger. i didn't even find time to blog about my birthday. i'll have a separate post up for that later.

first up; my girls and food. they go well together. :D


idk why but the picture shows a very unflattering image of us. they blame my camera. D:


seafood!

no idea what we were laughing about but isn't that what happens when girls get together? talk, eat, laugh, get a little crazy.

Daddy's 55th birthday where we went out and had dinner. 

 family picture.

gonna miss Daddy when he goes back to South Africa but he's gonna come back for CNY so yay!

i'm gonna stop here for now because its getting too long (a bit OCD la) and move on to the next post aka part 2. no idea whats with the gif below other than its cute. /grins

you and me against the world.
with you, I ride or die tonight.

per request, i will first blog about the two days one night trip my uni mates/awesome girlfriends took down to Ipoh to visit me/fill their stomachs (i wonder which was more important?). hehe.

they were the first friends i met up with other than Jonan after i came back to Malaysia. i missed them terribly when i was in Korea and was glad to be able to bring them around Ipoh and share with them the amazingness that is Ipoh food. :DD

why they trying to dig that poor elephant's nose, i have no idea but we did have lots of fun in LWOT. its been awhile since i went to play in the water theme park and to have such simple fun with such good company was a blessing indeed. 

look at Mei Kei exercising while Andrea is trying to finish her dumpling (her supper btw). haha. futile efforts, Mei Kei. just accept and embrace all Ipoh has to offer and then, you can work it off after. we had quite a lot of food (taugeh chicken, ramadhan bazaar, caramel custard, salted herbal chicken, etc), not bad considering it was my first time bringing people around since coming back. had to turn a few rounds before i got it right. lol.

despite just spending two days together, i'm glad we got this chance as most of them won't be around when i'm starting my sem in August. they're all busy with internships or thesis or back home waiting for graduation. boo hoo! no Andrea for me to confirm assignment hand-in dates or company for lunch or familiar faces in my classes. i know, i know, i was the one that ran off to Korea. this is the price to pay.

when we reached KL, Siew Chien picked us up (thank God!) and we had lunch in Petaling Street, some famous restaurant while watching the filming of some movie in the street below. oh oh, and that night, for the first time, we went to "starbucks". haha, what an awesome welcoming start to my life in KL. ^^

L to R: Mei Kei, Andrea, Yenns, Chareessa, uni/class mates and girlfriends forever. 

thanks for being my friends and for being a part of my life.

xoxo.
