today is my grandma's 80th birthday celebration! cool isn't it? last year it was my granddad's, and his celebration was on a MUCH larger scale. our relatives from hk flew in on a surprise trip just to wish him happy birthday and they also flew in like 80 longevity buns to build a bun mountain for him?! we also threw like dunno how many birthday dinners and all lah, everyone specially flew back from america and england to wish him happy birthday. but this year, my grandm's bday was VERY small scale. we just had dinner at some sichuan restaurant at crown prince yesterday and not everyone was present coz my cousin just got married in australia and my aunty and uncle are there with her. my other cousins couldn't make it back in time also. yar.. and it was super small scale anyway. and the worse thing was - i was LATE. not my family, but just me alone. i felt really bad coz EVERYONE had to wait for me. aiyayaya.
yar, coz i was at the other side of crown prince buying my new phone and i kinda dilly-dallied in the front part and ended up being late... my mum called me to tell me that EVERYONE was waiting and i was super paiseh.. i ran ALL the way to the restaurant and was super flustered. it was quite funny lah coz when i rushed into the rest and asked some waitress where was the vip room, she was like 'we don't have one' and i was like 'damn it, am i in the wrong place??' and started panicing like mad. but it was the correct place lah.. haha.
the food was quite good, had all the normal delicacies... the service was erm - not that great. and the table was a little old. really uncomparable to the restaurant we went to for my granddad's birthday. sigh - bias against women. i bought my grandma a very cute birthday card, hope she likes it.
i got a new phone now! haha - finally! actually, i wasn't allowed to upgrade my phone plan yet coz 21 months was not up, but the manager was nice and decided to let me upgrade anyway. yay! so now i have a new phone with a WORKING keypad. haha. thank you mummy!! love you!
hmm.. just read aaron's blog, so apparently a lot of s72 pple were at orchard yesterday, but i didn't see any.. how sad. looks like our class is quite hip man, haha, coz the past few days whenever i go there, i always see or know that some other s72 person is in the vicinity. funky. lolz.
i counted my hongbao collection last night, this year's collection has been one of my best so far - like REALLY my best. haha. even without my grandma's birthday hongbao money, it still would have been quite good. but of course, it was even better with her hongbao money lah. i shan't say how much coz it is all going into my bank anyway, i seriously cannot resist the temptation of having money with me - i must be thrifty.
i realised that i have been late very often recently - becoming just like pam's clone. i must revert back to my punctual mode. i feel quite bad lah.. always making my family wait for me to come home before they can go and bainian (cny visiting).... i really should plan my time more wisely.
anyway, tomorrow's valentines day and i still haven't solved the problem of lugging all my presents to school.. going to be super paiseh and i seriously seriously hopes nobody steals my presents when i leave it unattended.
anyway, bruno - can you send me the naruto anime online next time i see you?? please! or you can upload on your ftp then i dl from there. i kinda need epi 116,117,120,121. can?? thank you!
