Y My Advanced 21st Birthday Bash
Labels: Birthday, Family/Friends, My Zhu Tao, Partying
i don't know how to go about blogging about my party, as it has been a really unforgettable, memorable and awesome party i ever had in my life. i just couldn't take my mind off it. :)
everything began with that huge disappointment of which CY has been assigned to do guard duty during my celebration. it turned out to be part of everybody's surprise plot one. i was really upset on Friday night, but just went along with my party plans. checked into the chalet at 3pm on Saturday afternoon with my family. and for that, i'm really thankful to Han De who offers to book this chalet at a much cheaper rate under his name. :)
Bungalow 13. :)
my daddy dearest. ;)
we rented bikes, mahjong sets and waited for kengey and co. to arrive at 4ish. I'M SO TOUCHED BY EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE FOR ME!! from the decorations (p.s: i really love that balloon and flowers!) to ferrying CY into the chalet to all the surprises. no words can describe how glad i am to have all of you as my friends and how bad i'm feeling now for being such a rather bad friend in the past. i resolve to be a better friend from now onwards ok? i hope it's not too late. :) and i believe by saying 'Kengey and co' is abit unfair, so i'll name them all, but that doesn't mean the rest of my friends aren't important ok? thousand and millions of 'thank you' to kengey, li'e, puay siang, wei li , jie hao and buggy!
:)
at about 5ish, everyone became so secretive about 'fetching buggy' or 'getting things from whitesands', so neth drove outta the chalet.. TO PICK CY UP! :D kengey was asking me to follow her to the main door, and there CY was, hiding. haha! :D and so that's surprise 1. i went to change, while while the rest began their mahjong session. :)
at about 6ish, my guests began coming in. and here comes surprise 2, which buggy was in it too. haha! they were telling me that they're giving me a LANCER 9961 as a gift, but because i've no license yet, so i'm only allowed to see the boot only. i was given the keys, and everyone pulled me to open up neth's car boot, and ta-dah, all the presents and flowers from them are inside and i've to open them one by one. two words - i'm touched. :) thank you NETH for that touching idea. haha!
after that, more of my relatives and friends came, ate, mingled, played mahjong, and etc. there's such a big crowd, that i'm feeling at a lost. i hope i wasn't a bad host. and thank you all for coming and all the well wishes on my guestbook. even some of my old friends and colleagues whom i've invited turned up too. :)
during the cake cutting session, we sure toooooook a long time taking pictures! hahaha. i'll make do with a few pictures later, because i'm still waiting for all the pictures from ALL the cameras. :D btw, i even had one professional photographer - buggy! thank you bugbug!!! :D
after cutting cake, kengey had another surprise for me. i had to light up some cloth which she used to form "Happy Birthday Jo" on a wire gauze. the effects were beautiful, and they even got CY to video it down. can't wait to look at the pictures and video! guys, send them to me alrights! so touched. thank you, keng. =) anyway, i think we shall wait for kengey to update her blog for her FULL description about everything. :)
some of my guests left at 10ish - 11ish, and there's only a small bunch who stayed and played mahjong throughout the whole night. i really really had alot of fun..... this is so unforgettable. :)
birthday cake. thank you, dear bro, for it! =)

my knight in shining armor. :)
thank you, girl, for listening to my cries Friday night. HAHA!

dearrrrrrrr. :)
beloved colleagues.
ex-colleagues from Conrad.
jae.

wei liang, rebecca and buggy!

my DIY guest book. i know it's ugly. lol.
me and the gift from neth and my grandson, jiehao. mini bottles filled with Vodka; 'happy birthday joanne' stickers on the bottles; forming "21". really sweet of them. haha. :) btw, this was in the car boot surprise i meantioned earlier on.
the 'ang pau' toilet roll and jigsaw puzzle of my big face from kengey. haha. 21 ang paus, with meaningful messages and little gifts in it. so unique. :)
handmade gifts from li'e. i felt it, girl. :)
samsung mp3 player from dong, yun, froggie, lee hong and roy. just what i needed. thanks guys!!!
all the other gifts.
i realised i do not have many pictures from my camera, hence i'll upload the rest to my MULTIPLY once i've gotten my hands on them. teehee. :)
and so, this morning we checked out at 10am. on our way back, my dad's car's tyre punctured along TPE! we had to unload the boot, and my dad, bro and CY had to change the tyre along the road shoulder. with everyone totally zonked out, this sure is one tough shit. and my dad had to spend lots of $ on replacing the tyres. darn it. :/ ohwells, haha.
last but not least, thank you to those who turned up last night, and made my birthday celebration a memorable one. kudos to those who really put in the efforts to make me feel so touched. thank you for all the thoughtful gifts, ang paus and well wishes. appreciate it alot alot. this is the best birthday celebration i've ever had. really. :)
i love you all. :)

Y So don't you ever, for a second, get to thinkin' you're irreplaceable..
helped to take pictures for yun and her different groups of friends. and below are the 'groups' i belonged in.
it was indeed very happening! trust me. because it was absolutely hilarious watching someone going bonkers, laughing and shrieking like a crazy hyena, punching and kicking whoever comes into her way. man, it was dammit entertaining, yet irritating!
alright, before that above episode took place, we had the norm of a birthday party. when the room's occupied with only the not-so-familiar faces, froggie, jing xuan, li'e and i took off to the beach, rent bikes and cycled. it's been so long since we exercised, and now my butt's still aching from the vigorous riding. haha, i mean cycling! anyway, been at that area reminds me of our 2nd class chalet few years back. roller blading, falling, chasing with my beloved classmates. :)
it was really fun cycling with the girls. been ages since i met up with Jing Xuan OEI~~~. hee, missed those days we had back in Conrad. so much. we reminisced the good'ol days, and caught up alot. and not forgeting, snapping down our moments. can't wait to meet up again! and hopefully, together with yun as well (she was too busy to catch up today, you see). haha!
i hate to be fringe-less! strong wind la deh~
p.s: more pictures at the beach are with li'e. i shall wait till she sends them to me before uploading them. :)
head back to the chalet after returning our bikes at 7pm. more people came. the few i know are mainly people from Conrad (aunty jamie & aunty wendy), LSX (dong, roy, brian, joe, glen, rank, zach, augustine & benji) and some others. hanged out, mingled around and digging in food. that's basically what i did over there.
had the cake cutting session at about 9pm. roy, joe and i helped to set up the cake before gathering everyone over. oh, roy provided the non-extinguishable candles and i went to swap with the normal ones. lol! no matter how hard yun tried to blow them, they never goes off! cool right?
LSX
Conrad
the Joannes
lovelies :)
oh, i think the customised cake turned out to be a disappointment! it wasn't what we designed and expected! we had expected a 3-Dimensional BOOBS, but it turns out to be a pair of monster's eyes instead! :(
odd looking monster!!!! :(
right, some of them left after eating the cake. then a few of us (yun, angel, rank, roy, joe, brian, froggie and i) went to the bedroom and drank. that was when the craziness began! the guys were like making yun down cups after cups of Chivas. well, they weren't the only ones, 'cause i heard Yun's colleagues or classmates prepared 21 cups of liquor for her downstairs. and this time round, she.is.really.drunk! here's proof...
trying to hard to say she's not drunk!
look out for spider pig.
bondage? or 1kg of 'sai'.
this is fun! froggie and i lay on top of yun. roy held her legs and joe held the hands. not giving the chance for yun to move an inch, till she says she wanna vomit, then ALL SIAM! hahahahaha.
please pardon yun's unglamness in the video, but don't you think she's "cute"? LOL
froggie and i stayed to look after yun, made sure she's totally knocked out on the bed. yun really gave us a HARD TIME! yun, if you're reading this. COME AND ASK ME THE DETAILS. you are horrible!! hahahahahahahahahaa. lucky yun was under good hands, if not, i believe your mom will be super worried. when yun's finally quiet down, roy, brian, froggie and i continued with our drinking games. haha! we drank quite abit, but alright lah, 'cause brian mixed very little only. we.are.very.determined.to.stay.sober! lol.
when we are absolutely sure that yun's totally concussed, we left at 2ish, leaving joe behind to look after the mom and the drunk woman. well, there were others who were still around though. froggie, brian, roy and i went off together sharing 2 cabs. the guys insisted that they have to send froggie and i back, so yay, i shared one cab with roy and got home at 3am.
finally, here's our (li'e, froggie, lee hong, xin yi and i) present for yun. :)
and not forgetting, a picture of my larling and me. :)
:)
p.s: more pictures can be found at my Multiply. check back soon, because i'm still uploading the pictures at the moment. :) Yun, get the pix from me soon. :)

Y Accepted!
##
Dear Joanne
I am delighted to inform you that the National University of Ireland has offered you a place for Bachelor of Science (Hons) Degree program, 32nd intake. I will mail the original Letter of Offer to you as soon as the University couriers to me.
##
i kinda expected it. well, that's the case with private institutes i guess. they won't really look into your results, so long you don't register with them using an atrocious results. although my transcript doesn't reflect Straight As, but at least i've Zero Fs. although my GPA isn't sky high, but at least i still passed. nevertheless, i'm pretty glad that i got in. :D and school term gonna begin at the end of October. and now probably i should look forward to school in anticipation ya? haha, right.
and well, since i've gotten into APMI, i wonder if De xiang has received his referral fees ($300) already not. WAHAHA. another thing that i'm looking forward to school, is that, i'll be seeing lu hua pretty often 'cause he's taking ACCA there as well. teehee.
anyhoos, my trip to PAsirRIS last night was pretty great. yun, zhi ling, li'e and i met at Tampines before making our way to the resort together. we reached there only at 9pm! saw lots of conrad people from different departments, like Security and Pastries, and the only familiar ones we know were Uncle Kok Hwa, Brother Jimmy and Anthony only. haha!
we stayed in the room watching TV most of the times, while zhi ling was made to BBQ the food for us. hahaha. at 10pm, then we began to really eat and hang around the pit. more people came later, but i don't know most of them. it was a pity that Jasmine didn't turn up before we left as i was told she came only later? i don't know. haha.
visuals!!
sexeh uncle kok hwa who has the same birthday as me. haha!
that's the i-just-got-shagged yun for you. LOL! oops, what did i just said? :x
"When will my reflection show who i am inside?" sings* oops.
yun \\ me \\ li'e
this is kinky!!!!! :(
know what? i have this love-hate situation with my round face leh. how ah? :(
they brought lots of alchoholic drinks. these are part of it only. there's more! i merely had a small cup (paper cup!) of red wine. luckily none of us had promised uncle to stay over, if not i'll probably merlion once more. LOL!
right, the 4 of us left at 11pm or so aftermath. got home at 12am, and KO immediately after washing up. despite the fatigue, i dragged myself to work, and am looking forward to tonight's dinner with my lovelies. :)
oh btw, happy 20th birthday, yi peng!!!!!
