an extremely long entry specially dedicated to you,our dearest birthday ger celebrating your 21st birthday on the 11th Feb..

Happy Birthday To YOU...

...LENA LIN YAN QING!!!

(written in caps to show how much we 重视 you.. and note,it is your favourite color--matching with your shirt loh.. haha)

anyway,i have known you for about 9++ (wow next year will be 10!!! i am that old??!!!) years.. about 108++ months,39422++ days,946128++ hours,56767680++ minutes.. (let's ignore the seconds.. coz it will be continue counting non-stop,and i will never get an accurate answer..) oh my god.. so long??

so do you like all the presents we had got for u? the video (though it is zhijia's idea but we also went through thick and thin for you leh.. as diana had said in her note.. we also tried to find a lot of people for the video.. but sorry,i couldn't get hold of malcolm to be special guest in your video.. haha.. bleah,i also wanna see him can? haha.. but at least we got ur brother to send his video over as a surprise to you.. was intending to video your mum as well,but u came home le!!!yesh,on that tuesday..), the swatch (s表--kaijing's name for ur watch.. also our 暗号..) watch and the scrapbook.. hehe.. it is incomplete la.. sorry ar but i am inefficient.. that's why we had to do it at mac.. hopefully you wont blame us for being late hor? haha... and on tuesday hor,why you go home so early?? so surprised to let you caught me.. hai~ just 失败 la.. but also better that you caught me,at least i know how you finally wanted to celebrate it le.. haha.. anyway,i should have completed the scrapbook on thurs de la.. hai~ was just busy msning talking to him la.. haha.. coz very very long never meet him and see him online le.. so can forgive me?? hee.. and hence i never go and do ur scrapbook.. haha.. perhaps i should continue doing ur scrapbook after my mock exams or final exams to 將功赎罪.. hee.. anyway,so long never do art and craft le,was quite fun also,just very time consuming nia.. haha... or the remaining pages u can add ur in wedding photos etc.. hehe.. =P

plus all the time and effort we had put in for u?rong sacrificed her sleep loh.. so poor thing.. that's why she so late le still online.. remember that night we stayed over at your house and guirong was still online??? haha.. so are you touched now?? cry la.. hehe.. just touched rite then dun wanna cry? haha.. then i went back to temasek secondary school for 2 days lo.. 1st day, when i go over to your house also.. then the second day i went back to film ms low and mrs lim only.. then huixin came over,wanting to look for mr yong,but he was not around.. haha.. and so we took a video in school.. then we were chased by the servants there.. and hence after that,we went to tampines mac to eat as well as take the video.. hehe..and she also did her card then as well.. hehe.. as for me,it wasnt a very big sacrifice la.. just never study only mah.. haha..later exams fail blame you loh.. haha.. no la,i also enjoyed going back to see the teachers.. it's been quite some time since we went back to temasek le.. haha.. and so you see,so many people sacrificed for you lo.. hehe.. so since you are the first one, and we sacrificed so much for you,make sure you do the same for the rest of us ar.. haha..

anyway,hope you had enjoyed yourself at home--steam boating.. i know you were very angry and sad when you called me (i was at mac then rushing your scrapbook.. haha..) but then when you called to tell me that you dun wanna celebrate le,i almost 崩溃 la..we planned quite a number of things for you then you tell me you dun wanna celebrate??!! haha.. that was my point of view la.. but,i can also understand your feelings la.. and like diana, i may also react the same way if i were you.. as i understand how it was like to be like pangsei and we also gave you the feelings that we dunnoe how to celebrate for you.. coz we asked you to decide how to celebrate.. it's like everyone of us were bo chap..haha.. we are all very good actresses right?? hehe.. and very sorry to keep you waiting for so long that you actually flared out (is it spelled this way??) i should have stayed up late on thursday to try to finish the scrapbook instead.. sorry..

and we got you the cake from Angie the choice, red wine from NTUC i think and flowers from my house there la.. to apologise for being so late.. haha.. then you still like very reluctant to let us in.. sobsob.. means you are still angry la.. dun wanna forgive us la.. =( then like after a while then u are more cheerful,perhaps after the red wine toasting.. didnt know wine can make people happy.. haha.. and sorry la,at that time when it was my turn to toast to you,i got mental block and was busy thinking of when to paste in kaijing's and guirong's masterpiece so didnt talk much and just drink.. haha.. by the way,i am not a good drinker la,dun say me until i like pro like that leh.. haha..

then came the cake cutting ceremony..


the cake we got for you with wax on it.. coz we lighted it too early le.. lolz..

didnt really get to take pictures of you with the cake coz you were standing!! haha..quite hard to ask you to sit down since the rest of us were standing up.. haha.. and one more thing, we didnt take any group photos at your house!!! what a waste!!

and other than cake cutting, we also saboed you,the birthday ger by smashing cake onto your face.. haha.. ended up at your hair.. coz you dodged it la.. haha.. and i think you all screamed too loudly le,so loud that the neighbour from downstairs came up to complain saying that her kids can not sleep.. haha.. first time kena complained sia..


the birthday ger with yeeling... see the cream on your hair?? haha..

is the cake facial great? haha.. dun ask me whose idea is was coz i also have no idea..i think it is yeeling's?? or jac's?? lolz.. just hope that you like the cake la.. though we didnt really go high and low to search for your strawberry cake as waiyue and i had exaggerated it to you,but it was hard to find a Angie the choice cake,especially a strawberry cake la.. since the one at century square had closed down...luckily, we went online to check and realised that there was one at bedok there that just opened.. and so waiyue went there and got you a cookies and cream cake (?) which i dun think any of us like.. coz no more strawberry de le.. haha.. just too creamy,but should be great for facial ba?? haha.. anyway,that was the style of Angie the choice cake.. hee..


miss universe??!! nah,it is our birthday ger with her flowers..

then we each took pictures with you.. as if you were ms universe.. funny la we all.. hee.. didnt put all the pictures here,since no space also.. haha.. a lot leh.. later my blog very lag.. anyway,after the girls left home since it was late,kaijing,you and me started using MSN,your MSN.. to con people.. haha.. i changed your nick to it's my birthday today.. haha.. i am just great la.. hee.. and there is this one person called weizhong right? he is a great man sia.. haha.. just funny la.. though i not happy he called me extra just because i was not studying in NTU and he didnt know me.. not fair!!! haha.. then even acted double personality.. just trying to imitate us.. hmph.. quite fun la.. quite a great entertainer.. by the way,he likes kaijing aR? haha.. :X


at night,we started msning and con people using this msn picture.. lolz..

then you decided to play card games since msn was boring as people leaving to sleep as it was pretty late and hence we start playing with my "lousiest" game--dai dee which is your favourite i guess,blackjack and you were lucky la,win all our money.. haha.. luckily we didnt bet much.. and we also played dices (all thanks to kaijing who had brought so many dices) haha.. and yup,you enjoyed the game?? i also learnt how to play the game via the SCV show about the dices de by 曾国诚 and 徐乃麟.. but it was taught to me by tom first.. hee.. it was fun right? especially the bluff ( about how many sets of whatever number de) and still got the guess the number that was thrown by the banker de,which was pretty similiar to 终级密码.. haha.. and well,that was the only 2 games we played with the dices.. haha.. and we also tried the one of the card game weilun taught me (using the 5 card,3 of which to get a multiple of 10 and the rest to see who is the biggest) which was hard la.. hee.. and we also watched 腊笔小新 (kaijing's favourite VCD) but i fell asleep half way.. haha..coz i am just lousy la.. hai~ then you and kaijing took pictures with the flowers while i was sleeping??


this is the picture they took while i was sleeping.. in lena's brother's room.. haha

then in the morning on your birthday,around 7++,we surprised you with waiyue and jac spraying flour on you and cracking egg on your head when we are heading down to send kaijing back home and heading to eat macdonald's breakfast at bedok interchange... haha.. made you gotta go back home to wash your hair again.. haha.. there should have more people coming over to sabo you.. but rong was still busy doing the video at home (see so ke lian?? rush your video until like that... didnt sleep at all..) and kailin,i also dunno what happened to her--guess she couldnt wake up.. she pangsei us!!! haha.. luckily we didnt pass the cake to kailin, of which we intended to surprise you on in the morning.. if she pang sei us.. then there will be no cake liao.. haha.. but we changed our mind since many of us cant make it for the morning surprise.. then after that mr jac sent us to mac donalds where we had our breakfast.. yumyum.. it's been a long time since i last ate the big breakfast which i ordered.. hee.. then after that we headed back to your house while mr jac rushed back to return his dad's car back to his daddy.. hehe..

surprised you with the scrapbook which was placed in your cupboard when you were bathing.. and yes,i think jac saw your cupboard.. haha.. he suggested putting under your pillow.. but we went against it.. thinking that you will never find it if we placed it there.. haha... and as usual we were late and guirong being the earliest,coz we had been busy putting on make-up.. hehe.. and i made a mess of myself... as usual.. haha.. with the stupid eye shadow.. haha.. and well,i think you are cheated about the eyeliner coz that is an eye-brow pencil!!! guess you need to get another eye liner soon.. hehe..

went to orchard cineleisure to sing KTV (one of your favourite hobby).. gotta sing quite a number of new songs huh? and was glad that guirong and waiyue were both so enthu joining us.. hopefully they had fun too.. hehe.. and i think the chicken rice was quite nice as compared to the others days when we went there to sing.. perhaps they know it was your birthday.. haha..


all of us at KTV,picture taken by siewhui (diana's friend)

and we were just super duper high there la, as if we were at concert.. especially after diana came.. we were singing all the fast fast songs,dancing and all of us including kaijing (who usually dun stand on the sofa de) were standing on the sofa.. just went bonkers,crazy and mad.. haha.. i guess even the K-box staff was surprised to see so many of us squeezing in such a small room la and started counting the number of people in our room la.. haha.. he even asked us if we wanted to extend and would change into a bigger room for us.. but then it was pretty expensive la.. one person about 20+++ for another 3 hours only.. maybe coz it was a saturday.. so when the other staff told us that it was time already since we decided not to extent,we are also quite paiseh to stay any longer since there were so many of us in that room which was actually meant for 4-5 people.. haha.. there was about 11 people in there loh.. haha.. and it was our first time go sing KTV so 准时 we go off.. lol..


maykuan and kailin dancing while diana sang with kaijing.. haha.. i told you we are just high..

after that as huixin and diana,who came late for the K-lunch and yet smuggled into our room 25 to sing and dance,were hungry.. we headed to swensens after a long discussion of where to go and tak lo-ing... hehe..and finally at swensens,we ate ice-cream while waiting for yeeling to come before we all start watchin the hard work of guirong.. and all of us watched the video we had made for you,and specially you.. haha..


watchin the video.. missing diana and me coz we are busy recording your facial expression.. but it wasnt as we expected la.. haha.. just a few "oh my god" here and there,no big big shocked look..

after that diana and i watched the video.. and dunno who took this picture..


concentrating on the video.. haha.. cannot 辜负 guirong and her rongx2 production...

and that ended our day of surprises for you,our dearest lena who celebrates your birthday on the 11th february.. and maykuan,kailin,waiyue and guirong (went back to recuperate) went off early.. haha.. after that, we went shopping around for stuff while waiting for your time to pass to meet zhijia and friends.. then diana went round searching for hj's valentine's present and huixin searched for a present for her friend's 21st birthday i suppose.. haha.. after that,i headed over to meet my JC friends who were at fish & co at glass house.. while you continued your celebration with zhijia they all at clarke quay-- settler's cafe.. haha..
