10 september '08-my unforgettable day

10.15am: a girl woke up. excited but nervous about the day's events. She forced herself up and sleepily stalked out of bed. into her sister's room.
"good morning *groans sleepily* you booked the reservations at dian xiao er(restaurant)?"
"ya. But they said we couldnt hold on to the place for too long...anyways happy birthday"

10.3oam: the girl walked to her family's living room, switched on her television, and lazed on the couch.
"hey yo, birthday girl. u better get going now if u wanna bathe. don't wanna be late on yr very own birthday right? we all know how slow u are huh...."

11.35am: after washing up and bathing.....

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


SHEESH. THIS WONT DO...I CANT WRITE LIKE THIS.IT'LL BE MORNING BEFORE I EVEN FINISH WRITING!! -.-... I'll WRITE A JOURNAL POST.


In every year, 10 september was always a special day to me. it was always a day i looked forward to because it was my birthday. But none of them was quite like the birthday i had in the year 2008. Lets just say i was really excited but at the same time nervous too,in fact, i was really really nervous.frightened maybe. why was i excited u may ask?? It was my birthday!! duh!....hmmmm...then why was i nervous or frightened for that matter?? well it was because besides the fact that it was my birthday on that day...it was also the first time i was introducing my first bf to my family (andros's gonna be there too). emphasis on the word(s) 'first'.
The day started off as u could see in the beginning of this post. we got ready and we went to dian xiao er at AMK hub.i was seriously nervous. my family settled into the restaurant first while my sis and i wenta get our bfs. my sis met andros first and i saw them off first before meeting him. gosh, he looked gorgeous on that day. dressed in a striped shirt, long sleeves folded up, and black pants. he looked totally different from how he usually dressed.To tell the truth i felt truly proud of him.

After meeting him we walked back to the restaurant.upon reaching outside the restaurant he was utterly breathing heavily.he was shaking i could see...literally. and i had to calm him down. Finally, we walked in with confidence, his apparently faded in an instant when we reached our table.he was so tense til it was seriously obvious. And he kept very still and quiet throughout the whole dinner. but i thank god again for giving my parents an open-mind. they've been very receiving and warm towards us throughout the whole lunch. i was seriously relieved and touched for some reason. i wanted to cry. Thank you God for helping me.I've been praying abt this event for days. and a couple of nights in a row i had had nightmares abt it.To see how receiving and warm my family are to him seriously touched me. i had no idea how they would react upon meeting each other in person.since both parties had already had a bad impression on each other before meeting each other. to put it in short. i was relieved that everything went well and fine. and that i finally got to have a goodnights sleep again.Best of all, i think my parents had a better impression on him than before, and vice versa too.

After my happy happy happy birthday lunch my family and i parted for our individual activities. Andros had to get back to work (Im thankful that he came for my birthday lunch and got me a present and made a handmade card for me (thanks big bro!) He too, was really warm and welcoming towards him.) ,my family was going home (i didnt know abt my parents cos they may want to celebrate their aniversary which is 2 days later..) and i was setting off with rinnie to spend the rest of our day together.

We went to AMK mrt to take a train down to dhoby ghaut. while waiting for the train i suddenly had an irresistible urge to jump up with joy from the success of my birthday lunch. and i did. i jumped while i hugged rinnie. AND I JUMPED SO HIGH MY HEAD HIT THE CEILING.


..............................................................................................................................................


LOL! kidding! my head didnt hit the ceiling but it was almost there. i jumped til everyone there was seriously staring at me....(they must think im a loon) And rinnie got embarassed, "eh settle down la....everyone's looking already..." LOL!

Upon reaching dhoby gaut and walking ard for abt an hr we realised theres actually nothing much we could do in orchard rd other then walking ard (which is the last thing we wanted to do under the scorching hot sun...taking in consideration rinnie's outfit....a singlet inside, a new long sleeved shirt outside. plus, i was MELTING in the sun.) so we set off for vivocity in a cab. When we reached vivo we walked ard and saw adorable dogs in a pet shop and caught a 4 something movie apparently titled "my sassy girl". It was quite a hilarious though touching movie at the end. and after that we went back to plaza sing to catch dinner ( yes i know what yr thinking...we went to and fro vivo and dhoby gaut...but no big dealie la...). He brought me straight to a CD shop when we got there and told me he had a stomach upset and had to use the toilet for 10mins and left.)

Apparently his 10 mins was rubber time. it stretched to a half hr and i was all ready to pound him to the ground. After a half hr he called and told me to go swensons. which was where we had the queue for dinner, its was also where he "punk'd" me telling me he didnt get me a pressie nor had he planned anything for me (imagine my shock huh, when all he ever told me abt was giving me a unforgettable surprise for my bday dinner..)


Thank god after a mere queuing of 45 mins we got our seats.hmmmm...apparently rinnie had ordered in advance our food and stuff. sirloin steak. its turned out irresistably delish i must say. i couldnt be more satisfied. but though i found it sumptious i wasnt really full so we ordered another dish...oglio olio. Then came the 2 biiig surprises. He had came in a few days earlier to order an ice cream birthday cake for me :D It was a black forest cake, my favourite when i was younger. A wave of nostalgia washed through me and i suddenly remembered myself eating such cakes in my kindergarten days. suddenly, i felt like the 5 year old me again. happy and childish.lol. though i did try my best to hide it....hehehehhe....the second surprise was a diamond necklace. He had presented it in a royal red jewellery box.

*sighs* i havent even got to the bestest bestest bestest part of my birthday yet. but i've got to catch my regular shut eye now. I'll be back to continue this much overdue belated post tomorrow. but to put it in short. I had the bestest bestest birthday this year. And its all thanks to my family (andros included), friends, most of the credit being alloted to my dearest rinnie! Most of all, I thank you god for answering my prayers and blessing me. Giving me such caring parents, though they're really protective, i assume its all part of parenting and their way of expressing their love for me.Grace too, am a great friend. And now, for blessing me, giving me my dearest Rinnie. I should count my blessings.

ok. im back again to blog. sorry if my 'tomorrow' lasted for abt a month or two lol. ok where was i? oh the diamond necklace presented in the royal red box. ok after rinnie presented me with my birthday present he insisted on helping me wear it so he did. heeeheee :D then he proceeded to give me something he bought for me a long time ago......

he had threw away its box, royal red colour too. and put it into the locket i gave him for his birthday earlier this year. he made me guess where he norm kept it and i gave up trying. it was his locket (darn i shld've guessed! lol!). he had it with him everywhere he went.

as u have probably guessed, it was a ring. a promise ring to be exact. and similar to the necklace, he worn it for me too. heeeheee. but it was all quickly interrupted by a phonecall frm my parents rushing us to hurry cos they're already downstairs waiting to fetch me....they too, as i've found out, had bought me a cake too. this time its DURIAN cake. teeeheeeheee. SO. this is all why i say this is the happiest birthday i've had in my entire life so far.

first thing. i got to spent it with my loved ones.ALL OF THEM. (except grace :'( )

second thing. my birthday lunch was a huge success.

thirdly.my birthday dinner was so good i cant find the words to describe it.

fourthly. i had a 150 bucks red packet frm my sis and mom

fifth, my parents got me a bisthday cake! a birthday cake! hahahhahaha!

and finally, my frens remembered to wish me! heeeheeeeheeeee :D
