**warning this is an extremely long entry with loads of pictures!!!**

just celebrated my 21st birthday at costa sand (pasir ris) yesterday..

meet the girls (diana, lena and guirong) and took a cab with all my stuff there.. and they gave me a pleasant surprise of 21 roses!!! wow~~ my first time receiving roses man!!! so touched!!! i received flowers before (sunflowers) but didnt get such a huge bouquet of roses before!!! so was quite surprised!!! and i saw a huge pink box with heart shape all over it.. hehe.. there must be something inside right? but they said there were cockroaches, lizards inside.. haha.. do you believe? i dont but i have no idea what..but didnt open up the box as i dun wanna spoil the surprise for myself.. (will update that later though at the last part of the entry)

reached the chalet and took the key from the people in charge at the counter -- R04!!! hehe.. went in to the room and started unpacking most of the stuff.. then tried to rest for a while as i just taken medicine and was a bit drowsy and sian.. haha.. watch the 5566 show also (少年特工队).. quite funny.. haha.. took pictures..


lena, me with flowers which the tak-lors (or rather lena) got for me and guirong


me with the roses.. =)

and we started having a competition to blow the balloons.. haha..


blowing balloons to help decorate the place.. *aiyah,forgot to take pics of the decorations!!!*


the flowers.. so beautiful!!! thanks lena for choosing this special color though i like champagne better but this color is unique!!!!!


the four of us who reached there early!!


and they sang a birthday song for me.. =) 


all the balloons..


this picture looks like i am in a studio!!! haha.. surrounded by balloons with my flowers.. hehe.. 

after that kaijing and er ge came together.. haha.. they met each other on the bus.. zichao and emily also came and help with the decoration with crepe paper that she bought at plaza singapura.. she insisted on decoration coz otherwise it wont feel like a birthday chalet without any decorations.. haha.. i guess she was a bit harsh on er ge at some times but i think er ge didnt blame her,since she is really like that de especially when she was stressed.. haha.. and er ge knew it.. and luckily we managed to finish decorating before most people come.. =)

jianyang, chinteck and norman reached the earliest!! and i asked them to start eating first.. then gradually more people came.. i dont quite remember the order of people coming in after that le.. but i think should be eileen, followed by janice, gordon, benny, and jerlene and jingyoong.. after that,weiliang and cheongchuan came, followed by alan and gf, then weilun, jiaping and melson.. then followed by meiqun and wailay then alex dropped by.. and after that,sharon,shou zi came and xiaojia and alvin arrived.. shortly after, eugene who almost lost his way reached.. chenghe was one of the few late one even though he had nothing on earlier on... :X yeeling came after work around 10+.. then yong an came after the cake cutting (which was around 10+) .. joseph fetched janice and lena who went to jane's birthday chalet back.. and i am sure the last person to come is advin definitely.. haha..


me and 嬷嬷 (my grandma)

i ate a bit and was busy walking in and out.. haha.. the rest of them were busy updating my guest book and writing cards,while the tak-lors were inside planning some sort of "punishments" for me..

i guess i was a bit sick as well since my stomach just wanna kill me and i had to go in and out of the toilet.. and my head were spinning like mad (mum said i was too stressed..) everything was quite chaotic to me!!! and i guess that was part of the reason why the tak-lors did not pour water over me and splash flour on me (there was no space to play as well..) and also spare me from a "smashing" birthday surprise...

finally,which was pretty late and in a hurry,the cake is out and we started the cake cutting ceremony around 10++.. *i was in confusion during this time* (i sound like a pokemon being attacked by confusion.. :X and was a bit harsh at times.. haha.. especially towards my uni friends,shouting to them to ask them take pictures.. but they were the furthest away.. :X )

after cake cutting and everything, most people left as it was pretty late.. didnt really have the chance to thank everyone who turn up.. but i appreciate and was thankful for all who turn up as they do make a difference to this birthday party to me.. =) thanks.. thanks alot

then i was to open all the boxes that the tak-lors made for me when i am free... to do the forfeits.. sorry i seems quite busy.. so made you guys waited quite long..

i was supposed to guess who made all the boxes etc.. haha.. i guess mostly wrongly.. :X haha.. quite hard to know leh.. cannot see the handwritings etc.. hai~ and so kena these forfeits for the cash in each boxes..

"stand on a chair and sing a song aloud outside the room -- Joseph" i went out to sing ABC.. i almost forgot all my alphabets.. :X

then weilun they all disturbed me.. haha.. as usual.. say why my sec friends can let me do forfeit then they cannot.. haha..

"drink 2/3 cups of water -- lena" didnt drink immediately though..

"walk around the swimming pool with a towel covering the head -- diana, kaijing" didnt do this forfeit as it was late.. and soon most of the tak-lors went off le..

"hug your parents/grandparents for 3 seconds and say i love you -- guirong" i hugged my mum,and stopped her for clearing up the mess.. haha..


hugging my mum.. 

"burst 3 balloons with your butt -- guirong and diana" i did it and it sound like bombs sounding off.. haha..


bursting the balloons.. so scary!!! 

"drink a specially concocted cocktail -- lena" no cocktail was made as they were worried that i had stomach problem again..

"pictures taken with me making funny faces -- diana"


being a pig.. oink oink


pulling my ear.. and still can laugh.. :X


lena's zhao pai dong zuo,act scared.. but i dun seems scare at all..:X

*there are more with the rest of my friends.. hehe.. will update if they are not too scary.. wahaha..

"finish 2 sticks of sausages within 15 seconds -- guirong" i only ate one stick within 15 seconds since they are worried that i might have stomachache again as they kept it in the fridge.. and it was cold..

*these are not in any sequence which i performed my forfeits..*

some of my SIM friends,weilun,jiaping,alan,janice and xiaojia stayed on to play bridge as they were waiting for mr advin who said he can only come around 1 plus.. haha.. and he did come.. =)

in the meanwhile,the chalet turned to become a..


gambling den (part 1) -- playing bridge..


gambling den (part 2) -- playing dai dee

my brother stayed on to play card games with my uni friends while my parents brought back the extra food.. my uni friends think that he was bored when he was waiting for my parents to pack up the stuff.. and he like got 自闭症 like that.. haha.. so they asked him to join in the game.. and he got addicted and didnt leave since he could head home together with xiaojia who lived quite near me.. hehe..

then talked about the joke of the day: gordon was made the joke of the day as he brought along a thick book to study (think he borrowed it from someone on his way here) and then he became a huge joke as he didnt know there was a sink inside the chalet which he can use to wash his hand and i dunno which way he go to just to wash his hands.. and weilun made a huge joke out of it.. haha..

i think the second best joke was what kaijing said about the blankets would 掉下来 and would 压死她.. haha.. i forgot why she said that le.. haha.. then when she went to bathe, i asked why she so long havent come out yet.. weilun asked her if the water really 把她冲走.. haha.. joke sia..

as i was not playing any of the games,i opened all my presents with the rest of the girls watching.. haha.. i had 4-5 bags!!! haha.. wow.. hehe.. thanks guys!!! then after that, my uni friends and my bro left the chalet around 2.. then i start to read all the "cruel" messages (which were quite difficult to read and put back to its original position) the tak-lors wrote to me.. then take pics,watch tv and ate the cake as i was hungry.. while kaijing drank (yes,literally drank) the curry.. haha..


lena and rong getting ready to sleep..


kaijing,who could not sleep as she forgot her specs and contact lenses case!!!

morning came and as we had nothing much to do, we took a stroll around the park..
