hello happy birthday to me I am 20! twenty, not twenteen, or twen-eleven or whatever I reached the big fat 2-0 (yeah, like that's such a tragedy) on Sunday and I had such a great birthday weekend oh my God! shall not say much, will say it in pictures instead.
Saturday was nice, because we had dinner at Suntec with my whole big family (all 10 of us, always the 10 of us) where we had pricey fish head curry and briyani. the food was good, the company even better, especially if they can perform tricks like eat fish eye and all. then us kids took our car back while the oldies went to ViVo. we played Taboo til morning where, when the clock struck 12, they stopped and sang me a birthday song. it was cheesy but I loved it because I love my siblings, real and artificial. then we played DOTA where I sulked because I didn't wanna play and I was sleepy so we drove to Sembawang McDonalds and had breakfast at 4am before we sent Rizan home.
Sunday- firstly, thank you so much to everyone who wished me. I wanted to stay at home but Rizan insisted he had the day planned so okay I got dressed we went to ViVo then suddenly at Ben and Jerry's (or Tom and Jerry, if you were my mother), my brother, Tricia, my sister and Amri were there with a card and they said 'surprise it's us again!' which made me grin because they're so silly and good and I love them. we had ice-cream and I got tickets to watch A Midsummer Night's Dream at Fort Canning this May and I CANNOT WAIT I'M SO EXCITED AND PLEASED so I said thank you to Tricia and my brother. then the 6 of us went to Toys R Us and wanted to buy a helicopter toy to race and stuff but we didn't because it could only fly indoors since the wind will blow it away. we discussed about things like that. us, a bunch of 20 year olds (smug grin hehe). at around 6.30 I left with Rizan because he'd booked a cable car dinner for us, just us. =]
this is where I go I love my boyfriend because he's funny and goofy, thoughtful and yumyumyum.
then the sun set...
...and it was effortlessly beautiful.
oh yes this was what we ate. always need to remember what we ate.
the view from the top was gorgeous. I don't think I can say much anymore about it.
so after dinner we called Fairus and Nora to send us back to Tampines because they said they were going to Pasir Ris and it was all very On The Way. so I walked home from the interchange with Rizan who was sneaky and suspicious but I didn't want to presume too much so I just played along. then when we were at my block he said he wanted to come upstairs and get a drink so I said okay. I knew something was up but I didn't know what, and who was going to be home.
so when I reached the door, I took a deep breath, and with my boyfriend behind me I went it. it was pitch black, and all I saw was this.
rows of pink candles lighting up the entire living room. Rizan nudged me to take a few more steps, and when we entered the sitting area, I saw the most beautiful arrangement
then the lights came back on and I saw my family, my two best friends and their significant others. there were small cards on the huge white coffee table, and in the middle of it were the candles above. what else could I have said?
classic reaction.
so I hugged and kissed my mum and the girls who were so incredible to have come up with this. I hate how they're so sneaky every year and that Rizan always has something to do with it. God I love my life, I don't know why sometimes I think it's never enough.
presents!
the loves of my life
and this was how Sunday ended. just like this. =] I turned 20 in the best way I could imagine.
