birthdays

juz came back from celebrating sally's 21st bdae[advanced celebration]

ok here's the souvenir i got frm HK for e crescent clique. didnt pose it earlier coz must have surprise mah. 1 of the very few souvenirs i managed to get frm HK so muz appreciate k?


think we r all getting older and the so called 'hype' abt bdae is not really tt exciting anymore. i remember how i used to terrorise everyone in sec sch, esp 1 mth b4 my bdae i'd do the so called countdown. proclaim to everyone, '19 aug..19 aug!' i feel embarassed to even recall bout my childish behavior last time.

so much so tt even till this day, 4 years aft i left sec sch, pple like weining and jasmine still msg me on my bdae, with sms tt goes smth like, 'tay cindy!! u n ur 19 aug..till this day i still remember la!'

talk abt terrorising pple. no wonder when i did the MBTI personality test in sec sch, i was clasified an Extrovert. i had lotsa frens in the past.

Now tt i do the MBTI test again, i'm classified an Introvert. u wont find me gg ard telling u bout when's my bdae and all. I very much like things low key, low profile. Quiet. i am comfortable with a few very close frens. was talking to lipin abt how we'd be holding our 21st [yup, its juz 3 of us in e clique who hasnt celebrated..] and we both agreed upon making it a low key thing. She said she'd prob juz be inviting the crescent clique, jjc class clique [wenjun, chengwang, chonglong, fanelle, jinwen, meiling, bird, i] and her SIM frens. I guess mine's also the same. prob juz 3 bunch of very impt pple in my life-crescent clique, jjc class clique, and my gals, which will be come up to bout 30+ pple. of course, i'd not forget my family as well.

and surprises, hahaha hmm. can i have a surprise? maybe u all shd attempt to make me cry, since i'm such a tough cookie. actually, not really lah. u juz nd to noe what's close to my heart. sometimes it's the silliest n most unexpected stuff tt can trigger my tear ducts.

ok, juz to clear everyone's doubt. Sunny is a new addition to the family. he's not a kid. he's a puppy. a very naughty one for tt matter. currently teething at the moment n is 4 mths old. fell sick and gotta take him so see a vet on tues..sigh. I'm quite annoyed actually, not with him la. but more so coz i feel like my mum n brother made a rash decision in getting a dog. I mean, yah i adapt quite fast to changes, but u noe the thing is tt i feel they shd have given more consideration, more thought into things b4 getting a dog.
Sunny. [ok it's very unclear but he keeps moving ard so i cant get a still shot]

Who's gonna take care of it in the day? What makes u assume that i'd be free and not be staying in hall next sem? Have they actually split the responsibility, like who takes charge of what aspect, b4 getting a dog? What makes u think i'd be home juz coz it's the hols? Have u considered tt I nd to train? Yah, i've sold my heart to db. its not that i wont take care of sunny. i love sunny very much, tt naughty aquarius. i juz realised i'm living under the same roof as 3 aquarius-es n 1 cancer. -_-^ like seriously..

You know all tt kinda things? Sometimes i just wonder if they really considered all these stuff. It's not tt i think too much. Sometimes i juz feel tt more thought nd to be put into stuff, esp if its smth very impt. perhaps i have really been too much of a stranger to the family. Am i a minority in the family juz coz i'm the youngest? Hear me roar. Now i juz wanna spend more time with my family.

now he has got blocked nose and when he cant breathe properly, the sniffy sound juz breaks my heart. naughty as he is, only his whining got effect. though i always smack him hard on his buttock. Like i damn strict with him la, coz he keeps peeing n pooing all over the place. Have u watched the show 'Beethoven'? Countless times i walk at home, den step onto smth wet only to realise, to my extreme horror, tt he pee-ed. It's like the 'Beethoven' moment when the father was abt to go to work n put on his shoes, only to realise that beethoven pee-ed inside his shoe. Urghh. Been letting him sprint ard the house by holding the chew toy in my hands, den as i sprint he'd follow. cant wait for the day when i can bring him out to run alongside with me. tt'll be like, damn cool

the process of socialisation is actually quite fascinating. I actually realised [a eureka! moment] while having dim sum in hk, tt perhaps the reason y i always let others take their food first, or take food for others when food is served on the table, is due to the fact tt i'm the youngest in the family. Not tt my parents were exceptionally strict abt table manners or wad, but somehow we'd juz wait for the more senior ones to take their food b4 we take our food. Or it wld be tt we take food for the older ones. No wonder pple sometimes have to prompt me at the eating table, like say, 'take the food la! wad r u waiting for?' i'm juz not used to eating first la. Not tt i'm stoning or wad. Upbringing is an implicit form of socialisation? ha i dunnoe la. i nv learn tt, i not soci major. i only noe keynesian and classical economist.

anyway here's a photo of the 21st bdaes so far. been very slow in updating coz i havent really been TP-ing alot these days. and the pple close to me told me i've got a typical pose everytime i TP. now tt they mentioned, i went to look thru my photos n darn, they r so right. hrmf. walau eh, it's really a case of 当局者迷，旁观者清。meaning its the by-standers who have a clearer picture of the entire situation, rather than the person who is in the siutation. even i dunno i have this particular pose. note:

wenya's 21st

sally's 21st

tsk. n bc had to ask me to pose for this pic, using my typical pose -_-^ like seriously!? even i didnt noe it was my 'typical' pose.

Fast facts: anw, if u ever wondered how does the water from the merlion taste like, well i can tell u. it tastes extremely salty. And if u r wondering whether we'd bail faster or the merlion 'vomit' faster, i can safely say, the merlion will win. You have just been learnt smth new, courtesy of the 'did-u-know' section of cindy's life experience. hahah

i found out i can be a very bad fren sometimes. kinda insensitive n slow n not observant? i juz found out during sally's party, tt lipin has been updating her blog quite regularly recently. to think i stopped checking her blog coz she's been MIA-ing for so long. i assumed tt since she hasnt been blogging for ages, i stopped checking out her blog. Just checked n realised so much has been happening.
