Second July

second july, the fourth

okay, i know it's been a while since i've posted something proper. not to say phogging (photo-blogging) isn't proper, but to all my dear readers out there who'll go "OMGWTF jy not another freaking post with a photo and a nonsensical one-liner??!", good news.

this is for you. yea, you, the one who checks out my blog every (alternate) day.

let me start by saying this - my birthday was bloody awesome. i drank, got tipsy and found myself inked on the backside the next day. not to say that is entirely true but it's somewhat there, at least on the drinking part. which explains these lil pink dots on my feet and back. rashes are such nightmare, aren't they?

so yes, on to the full story. i present to you paragraphs which do not link whatsoever. enjoy.

i didn't had a cake. none. no candles. not even a brownie.
what i had was flowers. 2 small but wonderful bouquet from special people, to be exact. and honestly, i'm not a flower person so they came in just the right sizes. one came with a briefcase's worth of chocolates and another with a really fluffy bear. i like.

and now we shall move on to surprises. no kidnapping. no hiding behind doors with a candle at 12 midnight. no sis/bro/friend got admitted into hospital. pretty peaceful.

the lifeguard knocked on my door while i was about to wake up. that was suppose to be a surprise visit but somehow, rather unfortunately i'm not easily surprised, so it was more of a blissful feeling. really, it's pretty complicated for words, the feeling's a lil like that time when i got flowers from my family. so i'll just leave it as it is and say this - i like.

for a multitude of reasons, my birthday felt like it got stretched over the weekend, and i'm not complaining. not the slightest bit.

what i'm gonna do now is to go really fast on what happened in the simplest, probably most boring but not necessarily meaningless way.



unofficially, it started prematurely about a week before, when the flowers and chocolates came as a surprise from the family minus the freerider of a brother. and then prematurely, again, on thurs, when the lifeguard brought the presents along with the cargos over.

on friday, the day started unexpectedly early. went for knight and day, arcaded, had japanese soup pasta before drinking. tried kilkenny, which was surprisingly smooth but bitter like any other beer, nonetheless. had some lime thingy with rum for myself. played cai chuen (that 0, 5, 10, 20 drinking game). lost like chicken neh at first but won so much in a row after a while that i thought i'm pretty good at it, which was not the case because i'm playing against this girl who's awesome. let's just say speed matters in that game and i'm currently addicted to it. headed to chen's residence after drinks.

movied again on saturday with a funky group of people, hung out, did some crazy things and had the bestest, most homely chinese dinner ever at a restaurant. it was nice to just sit, talk to the waitress in cantonese, eat pork and kangkung, have soup and talk about unimportant matters softly like adults.

had dinner with another group of funky people on sunday at barnyard chinatown. had spaghetti. threw some dirty jokes and enjoyed a few. played monopoly the card game. managed to excuse myself early because of work on monday.

mundane yet awesome. i like, to the max.
