i am officially 24. this year, there is no celebrations, no loads of presents, no large bunch of friends, yet, it didn't dampen any birthday spirit.

i did not have huge birthday dinner thrown for me, no expensive gifts, no jeweleries, no flowers. what i had were sms-es from all my friends, overseas calls from those i loved jus to say happy birthday, simple cards that said so much, words handwritten, cards handmade and necklace custom-made. these hold more meaning than huge parties, expensive presents, roses.

my bf did not buy me anything, jus a simple dinner with my family, a cake with my favorite fruit in it, a card with the character i loved most and words that said so much more than a dozen roses. a simple card with his primary school handwriting made me fell in love with him all over again and reminded me why i chose to be with him in the first place.





my best friend did not celebrate with me, she wasn't even in Singapore on my birthday. all she had were 2 registered mails to me: a custom-made necklace and a handmade card, something she doesn't do for except those she loves most. nothing complicated, no expensive drinks nor cakes or even a peck on cheek; still, it touched my heart and made me tear.







2 girls in the center = us, the best friends.

my mum never give me any presents, jus a card that tells a dozen words. jus a simple card and my heart swelled.


one of my male close friends who was busy with exams (and other stuff) sms-ed happy birthday and chit chat with me when he did not even bother answering other people's calls.

one who never remembers people's birthdays, who was so busy with work remembered mine.

one who was distance away called me on the day of my birthday on overseas call just to wish me happy birthday.

and so much more from the rest i loved.

maybe i am getting older, heart means more than things now.

words means more than actions. i love these little gifts more than grand birthday dinners or presents. thank you, all who wished me happy birthday. =)

i do not understand how people use the toilets. what do they do in there? its always dirty. i dono about male cubicles (though i heard they are always dirty too), but the female ones are way disgusting.

poop, urine, blood,toilet papers, everywhere. all over the toilet bowls! the cleaner cleans them every morning and by afternoon, 2 out of 3 cubicles will be dirtied by people.

some of you may know i work in a private hospital where rich people visit, local or overseas. so i am appalled to see how dirty the cubicles can be. jus take a look:

*beware. disturbing pics.



there will be blood too. it seemed they squat on it, and thus, all the mess.

toilet bowl is for sitting, not squatting!

even if squat, should aim better!

most amazing is urine sometimes end up at the back of the toilet bowl, not the front which, unless they were standing like guys, they couldn't end up there! =.=

i don't understand why is it so difficult for people to use the toilet PROPERLY.

in a so called higher class hospital, u would think that people will be more civilized, but apparently, that's not the case.

i haven't been to all floors of the hospital, so maybe its just my floor in particular which is more prone to such people. *shrugs*

maybe we should start putting up instructions on how to use the cubicle. just posters of keeping the toilets clean aren't enough.

they do not know how to use in the first place, so how are they going to know how to keep it clean?

*rolleyes*

singapore a clean country, well, i beg to differ.

this is an amazing emoticon flash!

it is done by ~JPIshiro from Germany, a very very talented and patient artist.

it seems to be developing still, so the floors are being added as time passes.

lastly, the Highest Smiley Skyscraper Ever =) :

changed my layout. the previous layout had some problems which well, no one could find out the cause of it.

the only way to solve it? design another layout.

and ta-da! a brand new layout. =D

anyway, still prefer such an open layout. seems... more spacious.

all the clicking were driving me crazy somehow, not that i din like my layout. i love all the layouts i had done over the years. =) just that, i prefer a clear-cut image where you can see everything in one page.

most of my friends prefer that way too. so yea. haha.

guess this layout gonna stay for quite some time till i have inspiration again!

maybe i will add new pics onto the collage every once a while. dono. let's see how it goes.

too many pics will make it look too messy.

meanwhile, this looks just nice. not too scattered, not too cramped. just right on dot. =)

oh btw, my hp died on me the other day and now, i only have contacts that i knew last year before my bdae (mid nov).. so those who knew me after that and have my hp no, please sms me your number again alright?

with your name please.

thank you very much! ^^

Went to watch The Game Plan on Saturday with Gary, boy and mum. it was a great movie! Darn funny! Worth the watch, seriously. No need to say so much, you just need to know that wh laughed really really loud even when no one else was laughing. so it must be really good. x)


Go watch it! You won't regret. =D


anyway, weekend was boring. weekends ARE boring. maybe i am getting old. maybe its cos my birthday is coming. as you get older, the urge and need to celebrate birthday fades. why remind yourself you are no longer a kid? no longer have the innocence and simplicity?

so this year, i decided not to celebrate (in fact, i said that every year since i got over 21yrs old).

of cos, presents are welcome still! *winks*

sorry for the long due post for my halloween party. it was as usual, squeezy, lots (and i mean LOTS) of waiting and queuing, and fights. only fun part would be dressing up and looking at all the different dressing people had.

didn't get alot of pics though, as gary said, "club and pics do not seem to mix well", so not much pics taken.

the worse of all was the dance floor.

people were squeezing each other and idiots took up space for the groping, french kissing and i-want-to-fuck-you actions to their dates. i seriously don't understand why cant they jus find a toilet and screw each other's minds out, instead, they ASSUME the rest of the world LOVE to watch how they get into that. *rolleyes*

its ok to kiss here and there, but groping, wrapping into each other that you can't figure out whose arms are whose and whose legs are grabbing whose? that's gross. it didn't help when they looked more like accidentally being glued together in an awkard position. =.=

really wish to @#()^$)^($*^_#

anyway, it was an experience, but if i were to go next year, i will make sure i got there darn early, get a spot and don't move till the end of night.

ok, pics time, with some taken by jerome's gf, shan and gary. =)



























From here, all pics were taken by jerome's gf, shan. =)













here's from hp shots. =)





that's all. hope you enjoy the pics. ;-)
