it's great being 18.
Shenny: mom, im going out.
Shen's sis: where are you going?
Shenny: i'm 18 now, i don't have to tell you.
HAHA!
being 18 (and a girl) is not very exciting, it's not like once you hit 18 at 12am, you turn from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. but it does have it advantages, if you're willing to look at it optimistically. both shen and my parents are giving us more space. not that they don't call when we go home late, but they don't shout and say "get your ass back or i'll disown you!" or something like that lol. we don't really have to ask for permissons before going out anymore, just leave a message before leaving and it's cool. yep, life is changing =D
i was the first "old friend" to visit Shen at her new home! it's really pretty, although not all the deco and furnishing are done yet. she has her own balcony! but her view is some chicken farm hahaa and she get woken up by those chicken crowing every morning. very interesting.
i told her we NEED to take a picture together, a photograph of my first visit in her new home, and we did BUT she just had to delete it because .. okay i wont say it, she'll get embarrassed heehee.
but i am mad! because we never got a chance to take another photo before we left! the next time i visit again will be the SECOND visit! it won't be the same anymore when we take a photo then! NOoOooooOO!!!!
anyway, that's guiping and i on the left. yenchuan picked her up and came to bring shen and i. they got off the car, because shen's mom insisted us to have some orange before we leave. really feels like "pai nian-ing" with all the chinesenewyear stuff pasted on the walls and the orange! haha.
the four of us went to shop for birthday gifts and cake for singyien's birthday. she's meeting us at 9+, after her work. can you believe it, she can't even take a day off or leave early just coz it's puasa-month. hrmpf. we bought her a really cute hat (which, if it wasn't for her i'd buy for myself haha!) and after scouring hours in gadong for a sexy looking yummy tasting cake, we ended up with something from makcikbakery which was quite okay.
but all our excitement poofed into smoke when we saw singyien coming, two boxes of cake in hand. WHY??!!
never mind, it didn't affect our good mood.
we had a simple dinner at ahanthai
(just coz they're relatively more accommodating for us wackos to throw cream around and scream and shout). other customers looked at us in dismay. there was a little girl who looked at our cakes with longing but damn, i wasn't quick enough to capture that moment. the boss (or manager, someone authorative) looked like he wanted us out asap. we only left at almost midnight after settling a bill of $20+. HAHAHHAA cheapskates. greencurry was smoking hot!
as always, some pictures before signing off:
the girls and yenchuan, the photographer (seen in picture below)
don't ask me what's with the peace sign. only luwee and i don't have it.
i guess that's what turned us into "outcasts" in the end... (see last picture)
"*gasp* three cakes!!" shenny's hand blocked the other one.
the "ssssong" (ugly and old looking) blue cake on the left's from sing yien's manager of 40 years old. expected kann!
the sexy coffee and cream on the right is from sing yien's colleagues.
the yummy yummy tiramisu cheese on the forefront is from US*!
* us: Shenny, Amilyn, YenChuan, GuiPing, LuWee, Adrenalyn:
"psst, i think we've turned into outcasts"luwee:
"get used to it, happens all the time!"they called us to the "speaking" people...
because we dont blast chinese from our mouth 120words per minute??
mr.niceguy yenchuan sent guiping home coz it was getting late. shen and i waited for shing, mr.niceguy#2, who was watching Rob-B-Hood. it's good, i got to talk to shen for a bit more before going home.
after saying goodnight and goodbye and getting off the car...
dad, swinging his golf club in the yard:
so late.me:
mmm yeah. started dinner late.dad, agreeably:
hm.me, going into the house:
