oh, love's gonna get you down.

i know i know. i will try and study later ok? sigh. im super slack and everyone tells me im running out of time. argh.

here's a summary of what we did for xuan's bday. and a lot of my own stories in btwn. but then, this is really like my diary ma. omg. btwn 20th to 27th jan i didnt blog! what was i doing??

17th jan - bused to ikea to meet char after school to get a frame for xuan's collage and a blanket for vann. i rem we both spent 70plus on dinner and stuff! money really is spent very fast hor. oh yah. i bought a lot of photo frames for my colleagues too. damn lousy la. the frames are as yucky as char's black prunes.

21st jan - went to the airport to send vann off. sadly, she cldnt bring both the collage sue made and the blanket i bought cus overload. :( told her mum to bring it home and when she comes back to humid spore, she can use it haha. suppered with gw after that. damn fatty la. was home at abt 3am i think.

22nd jan - lied to xuan that i was out with char. in fact, i was with ailing gw and kent, looking for watches in town, after sakae. i knew she was having dance classes so she shldnt be in town. it was a trip wasted though cus we cldnt decide and actually, we didnt know what xuan wld like. everyone says shes my best friend etc. i know a lot of things but then, watch is really you must wear then see nice or not ma. hahaha super broken lor this sentence. whatever.

we tried so many watches that i felt super paiseh cus there was this guy bitching abt us to his colleague. im v sure! anyways, mission unaccomplished so we left for bedok for punishment. fried chicken wings and roti john! damn damn fatty. and its crazy cus we spent 35bucks on 2 rotijohn and 3 wings! kent treated us though. wahahah.

23rd jan - facial. did i do anything after that? oh. i went sch i think.

24th jan - went shopping with xuan. i totally dont rem what happened cus im just looking at my phone which serves as my mini organizer. super useful.

OH! i rem now. haha cus all along, i lied to xuan that char's bday was on 28th jan and i wanna get a watch for her but i cant decide so i needed her help to try since both have small wrists. i made her go tangs with me and after half an hr, she decided on two. but i needed her to choose one! in the end, she asked the man to choose instead. the whole process was damn stressful for us. i was trying to hide from the couple who bitched abt me that day. moreoever, it was 9.30. the place was closing. the sales pple took out their bags, all ready to head home and bathe. but xuan felt even more stressed up cus the watch was not for her. she didnt know if char wld like. and it was quite exp. she actually felt bad for making me spend so much on char cus i told her my budget was 150. and on the way home, i made her assure me a hundred times that she really likes the watch cus if she likes, char will like it too. i really needed the assurance la.

25th jan - my mini organizer says "mj with perfects". did we? hahah totally dont rem. oh i think we didnt. i rem one night, i went to develop photos at chongpang myself.

singing, "all by myself... dont wanna be all by myself anymore..."

it was an irritating day. i went to the photo shop near my office to develop the photos and she said it will be ready in one hr. actually she didnt have to say. its supposed to be ready in an hr. express ma. so i said ok i'll go take after work. when i reached the office, the aunty called and said i gave her only 15 when its 25. i told her i gave her 55 and she returned me 30. rem? aunty said she rem but she said, 55-30=15. then i said, huh? 55-30=25 what. she said, "you count again... its 15 what." she confused me and i was almost bought over by her stupidity. i asked my colleague whats 55-30 and he said its 25. i told the aunty both of us say its 25 so how can it be 15. she said hold on and i think she went to take a calculator or maybe abacus. "oh yah yah. its 25. sorry ar sorry ar." poor aunty.

wait. the story hasnt ended. i know la. v long post right. i help entertain you leh. after work, the aunty's colleague (ac) called me.

ac: eh xiaojie. the photos cannot be ready by today leh. cus the machine spoil.
me: huh! but i need the photos by today leh. i need them tonight actually.
ac: oh. im v sorry leh. maybe earliest is tmr.
me: huh. er. but i really need them by tonight.
ac: sorry really cannot. cus we are not sure when the technician will come down.
me: then can i get a refund?
ac: we alrd put all the photos into the system (and whatever other crap) so we cant do a refund.
me: huh. why like that one. you said one hr what. k la i'll call you back later.

after a lot of complaining to my colleagues, i decided to take the photos the next day and do the collage another day but its super sian la. i had to convince myself to come back on a sat morn just to collect the photos. so angry lor.

me: hello. ok i will collect tmr...
ac: sorry leh. the technician wont be coming today. so i dont think you can collect tmr morn.
me: huh (#@^#D!%!(A(*!*&*M!(!*!N">#@^#D!%!(A(*!*&*M!(!*!N) so when can i collect the photos?
ac: actually we cannot confirm also leh. i think we refund you lor.
me: er.... (if she refunds me, then where else can i get the express service? damn sian la.)
me: so where else can i go for the express service?
ac: the nearest is chongpang lor.

so anyway, i told her i'll go get my refund and i bused to chongpang, tiredly and hungrily. spent a long time loading and choosing pics all over again, and since it would take an hr, i went to mac and ate alone!

singing, "all by myself... dont wanna be all by myself anymore..."

idiot kent and i had some miscommunication on the same night. he thought i was joining him for dinner but i thought he had his dinner alrd. sigh so sad. anyways. yea.

26th jan - hightea at royal plaza! my colleagues treated me. haha shiok right. they are really very nice to me. i will be visiting them this coming mon. :)

27th jan - dinnered at sukiyaki with family. damn bad. the food was damn bad. is damn bad. isit yukiyaki? dont rem la. but anyways, just rem the place beside kbox at marina square is very bad. its like seoul garden but tak halal. hahaha. so cantik hidayah cannot eat. we were supposed to go buffet at holiday inn but the whole place was booked by some bloody rich person who was celebrating bday.

which reminds me, bcus of the bday and buffet, i cldnt slp for many nights. im not sure if i told anyone but it was so irritating. all bcus of a certain person. actually its not his fault la. haha i guess im just biased. nvmmm...

28th jan - char's house to make xuan's collage. have posted the pics previously. i was super tired that day and my photos and frames were bloody heavy. my colleague kept persuading me to go town with her for thai food cus its my last day anyway. i was really really in a dilemma. it was very bad. i rejected and she asked again and this cycle repeated 10 times. i swear, really. so glad i didnt go cus later i realised i was really very tired and hungry. bought subway at amk and cabbed to char's. when i got up the taxi, it was freaking $3.80. and when i reached her place, it was $9.65. crazy right.

29th jan - i was in town since 4 cus i ended sch at 3. slacked arnd, looking for ideas for dinner. decided on the new billy bombers at cine since we nv tried that before. it was very bad. i asked waitress A if i cld make a reservation and buy a cake and put it there first, waitress A cldnt understand me. she asked waitress B for help. i repeated my qn to waitress B but waitress B still cldnt understand me. so we waited for a while for manager who is the one and only chinese to assist me. the ans is "can". i knew it lor! since they dont sell cakes anyway. and when was i abt to leave to go centrept to get the cake, xuan smsed me and said she wanted to meet me first cus the rest wld be late. but i was supposed to go get the cake! i lied that i was busy and i wld be late too. she sounded disppointed but what can she do right. haha. i walked really fast to centrept and finally, i reached the place and miss well-known-for-her-indecisiveness managed to choose a chocolate cake which looks damn yummy. but. the cashier doesnt accept nets! irritated me had to go upstairs to draw money and go back again to pay for it. rushed back to cine and on my way there, i had to make sure i didnt bump into xuan since she was taking the same route. i kept msging her to check where she was. when i made sure she was at cine level 3, which is the only level she goes to, i went to billy bombers and. they completely forgot who i was! they wanted to bring me to a table. i told them i had made a reservation and i handed over the cake and rushed off to meet xuan. photos were posted before so yea. we lied to xuan ailing didnt bring the present. she believed. good good. everyone was scolding ailing lor. hahaha.

30th jan - xuan's actual bday! we met at BK at northpt for dinner while waiting for shan and stracy. but sadly, their meeting only ended at 830 so they cldnt come. we bought cake and went my hse to take the 22 balloons philip and mum pumped, the collage and the present. :)

lied to xuan i was going aunts hse (my aunt stays near xuan) and my dad bought her some chocs. told her to meet me below her flat. she believed. haha. the guys were hiding at level 5 and when they saw xuan with me, they went down to level 3 and hid in xuan's room. obviously i informed the dad and bro alrd. tried to stall time while waiting for their sms so we went to the supermarket. finally, teck msged! told xuan i needed the toilet which was not exactly a lie cus gw forbade me to pee! but she believed. went upstairs and xuan wanted to cont with her dinner and watch tv. haha. her cute dad took the plate from her and asked her to stop eating and she did. told her i wanna go to her room to put stuff and i wanted her to acc me. she agreed. when i opened the door, haha pictures below. i need to go. bye. (oh man i took 2hrs to blog this whole entry. you can take 2days to read i dont care.)

SURPRISE!!!
