consider myself a genius in making kakak's 21st a blast "...the BEST ever birthday celebration ..."

from the invitation cards...

to the dinner location at sakura international buffet downtown (020808)

damage done to ibu? close to $400 for the 17 heads.


the 31st of july itself.

i bet she dint expect any celebrations. i shrugged her off telling that there's no mini or whatsoever celebration until the 2nd august (saturday)

but...me and ibu chose to be very nice; especially since it's her LAST birthday bash, so we prepared a little something...

nothing much. just a celebration to make her feel oldER.

the REAL DEAL was on that saturday; after stuffing our mouths with the buffet food, the esteemed 17 headed back to our place to watch the sister unwrap her presents.

damage cost for myself for her presents? $350 *gulps*


short run of the gifts she received:

nasrin - box filled with stickers, highlighters, a red pen, disney princesses notepad and a disposable shaver.

ilyas - handphone charm with bling-blings.

filzah & pakngah - a stalk of flower from kenzo and anna sui's secret wish - magic romance.

muzakkir - miss sixty rock muse perfume deodorant and body shop's born lippy strawberry lip balm.

mustaqim - strawberry coin purse and a chunky beaded bangle.

syahir & syairah - stainless steel bangle with corals by swatch bijoux.

ME! - the body shop's invent your scent collection pack, coach's legacy ballet flat keychain, Lee denim jacket and a green leather toscano envelope wallet.

cik lim - snowflake brooch from denni

busu - a bottle of pink rasberry cocktail and coach's bleecker patchwork swingpack

makngah and nenek - canon digital ixus 860is and a digital camera kit.

ibu - solvil et titus chronology stainless steel watch in rose gold


i know you're turning green in envy. i am as well.
i think i'll start listing for my 21st wish list now.

oh yeah. i'll include that beemer 320i.

immense satisfaction.

oh.
that feeling.

no one can buy it.

i'm so delighted i made my point clear and made some people shut up.
you see, there's a saying that goes, "When you can't say or answer it right, it's best to stay quiet" :)


self-contradictory?

i dont think so.

in my dictionary, i checked; it's more of "You're losing and you know you are wrong, so you're giving up" FULLSTOP.

that aside.

non-laudable people who are not even in my list don't deserve to be talked about.





Busu's 40th mini birthday celebration.

nenek managed to whip hearty dishes for his youngest (and only) son's birthday.

all smiles after receiving a bunch of rather pleasant gifts from the other 16.

aaanndd his favourite new york cheese cake from secret recipe.



atok's 71st birthday down.
busu's 40th birthday down.


now, my mind's bopping, only to be thinking about kakak's 21st birthday coming at the end of this month.

all these 3 july babies.


doorgifts. checked.
dinner location. checked.

*scratches head looking at the wish list*

evidently, what i alleged will not happen, actually happened.
what transpired after he left, will remain a secret.

evidently, i made do so fine without him.
i know that the spark will die off eventually.

evidently, i'm more blissful.
because i've learnt to drop what's unnecessary.

evidently, i'm becoming more appreciative.
i'll start by paying closer attention to laudable people.

see. i told you i'm more contented now.

the longest bus ride ever.
1.75 hours on 961 from kallang back to woodlands.
traffic congestion from bukit timah to marsiling was devastating.

home via route b; strike.





i love the way he tries hard to greet me in arab.
ww: mas selama...
ww: or is it mas selama kom?
c.a: ASSALAMUALAIKUM la. you totally change the meaning!
ww: i dont know la. still learning.
me: good try :)

and the way he walks over to my desk every morning just to say "Good morning" or "Hi" to me. it's peculiar how almost everything he does pleases me.


let's just say; it's this little crush.

the candle has just been lit.

on my second day of work, i met cik osman when he came up to me;
and the first thing he said to me was, "Bakal jadi rebutan."
those 3 words left me completely clueless at that point of time.

but today, i finally understood what it meant.



that aside.



i apprehend that there is a dark side to all nursery rhymes.
for instance;

HUMPTY DUMPTY

humpty dumpty sat on the wall
humpty dumpty had a great fall
all the king's horses.......

why must they make the poor little egg fall? a GREAT fall in fact!


another one.

JACK AND JILL

jack and jill went up the hill
.........
jack fell down and broke his crown
and jill came tumbling after

mishaps after mishaps!


SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE

sing a song of sixpence
a pocket full of rye
........
down came a magpie and pecked her on her nose

honestly, wouldn't it be awfully painful to get pecked by a bird's beak?


oh. and i'm sure there are more nursery rhymes that prove that the writers are sadists. creating such rhymes and let innocent children learn them.

and the quirky thing; children actually enjoy them.
enjoy watching people fall down.
enjoy catastrophes.

ah. but i wont deny the datum that i have served my time. as a child.
who LOVED watching people embarass themselves as well.


educate the next generation well, people.

i think i was blinded before this.

3 months ago, i think i was still stupid.
okay no.
maybe more of obtuse.

but at the extant, i think i just turned judicious.
i have awoken my senses and comprehended that one doesn't always get everything one wants. and one has to open one's eyes and realise what is fantasy and what is not.

the game's not over. i may be on the verge of losing.
but in the midst of the game, i think i've gained the most.

one.

it somehow struck me; not as a question.
but as a fact to ponder.
when the other three can revere their dearest,
i have to face the irony that i have to part with mine.


two.

the one that i just got acquainted with; ah. he's leaving as well.


it's easy to fathom how much despondence i am in now.

and i'm afraid i can never find another cks or lww.
