Ok readers! Latest pics and edits are up and finalised!

Lambat tu har Mima...

I bet everyone has been reading Ef's blog cos I took damn long to get this up. Sorry larrrr... mana nak tunggu gambar so that I can load it up all at a go.Mana sibuk tengah celebrate birthday.

*lol*

So, this is going to be a long-cum-long-awaited entry.
I believe I am going to take a very long time to finally write it all up but believe me, it is an interesting write-up and I have been waiting for days to come up with this entry.

The delay is largely due to my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS) and also pending the photos to be sent to me, in order to give you a full vast picture.

So there was my birthday on a Thursday, a nice date. 15th May. Born in the year 1982, makes me a Taurus-come-Dog, depending on which horoscope you are looking at. Now that makes me a good ol' 26 years. Another nice number.

Finally I am out of the mid-twenties group. It's a good thing especially when I know that probably it is high-time that people take me seriously.

Well, turning 26 is not bad after all. The fact that I had ongoing celebrations or should I say a tight schedule from Thursday to Monday.

Best kannnn.....

Just like all mothers would say that they wish everyday is Mother's Day, after their celebration, here I wish that every weekend is my birthday.
I was elevated from house chores. Dad helped me with the laundry and even helped me washed the toilet. So sweet kan!

So before I rattle on, I just want to thank everyone for making my birthday so happening.
For all the smses and blog tags, thank you for remembering.

Guan Hui & Rohani, thank you for the gift. Its a warm reminder that I do have friends like you - still.

To the remaining, Nasir, Ef, Monis, Pebbles and especially Mom & Dad, thank you for being a huge part of my birthday and making everything happen and making me smile on my big day of the year.

Ef and Mon, thank you for the surprise birthday cake and stressing up about what was going to happen prior to the cake cutting session, all because we were having a duo celebration.
*laughs*
Thank you for the wonderful surprise to High Tea-ing at Carousel.

Ef, thank you for showing up at Fish&Co and joining my family for the first time to celebrate my birthday.
Let's do it again the following year
*laughs*

Mon, thank you for the radio dedication. *hugs*

Nasir, thank you for fetching me and bringing me around to my surprise spots. Thank you for melayan-ing me for those couple of days and finally thank you for making me smell a rat.
*muahahaha*

To my gorgeous sister, tremendous thanks for the many many wonderful surprises. You just didn't know how much it touched me (I will let the readers know what they are k hon). The many coordinations you made with the lovely girls and to tahan bimbotic perangai-s just to make my day. Thank you oh-so-much!
*kiss*kiss*hugs*hugs*

Thank you to Mom & Dad for letting me have my time. No words or thanks can express my gratitude. I am literally speechless.
But nevertheless, thank you for the HUGE Guess bag which I can throw in everything for work and the Sunday event.

So here was how my birthday began..

I was about to pack my laptop into my bag on a Thursday morning, playfully nagging to my sister for not keeping it for me.
She with her un-brushed teeth, definitely not wanting to open her mouth grumbled that she would help me keep my things.
Rushing for time, I didn't argue further.

The minute I entered the office, took out my laptop, I laughed at myself.
So early morning morning got surprise.


























I called Monis(since Ef was yet to be in the office) and told her about the letter I got. She was so excited that she and Ef followed me to the lobby when I received a call.

I got what I have been wanting for a super-duper long time!!!
MY MAC'DONALD'S BREAKFAST!!
Delivered all the way to my office.
Pebbles was so cute to order it at 4am so that she could still sleep through the morning and me getting my breakfast.
The reason why I was so excited was that I have been wanting to get Mac breakfast only that I didn't want to waste money on the delivery + tip just to satisfy my tummy.
In fact this full meal costed Pebbles a good $11.

At 4.30pm, Monis told me to go up cos they were having their tea break which was our normal event and schedule.

So I went up, really not suspecting anything and was surpised by a small crowd and a birthday cake!!
The girls had arranged a combined celebration with Sarip whose birthday was 5 days behind me.

Here we go!

The cake












The photos during the event


























Monis as usual the busy one coordinating it all.

































That evening, Nasir fetched me and Ef from work. Rushing for his appointment in Hougang, Ef insisted of going home to *ahem* before hijacking our trip to town.
Pompuan ni sempat mandi la ok!!!
I questioned her thoroughly where she was going but since she is so good at acting blur, it paid off lar. Cos I really thought she wanted to meet her friend.

Here was our single photo with Nasir







Upon parking the car and heading to the toilet, Nasir insisted we went down the escalator when I wanted to take the lift.
In my head,"Larrrr... perangai la budak tua ni only to have reach in front of Fish & Co where the family and Ef was waiting for me
*laughs*

We were all so famished that we literally finished a whale at Fish & Co.







The girls



















And more girls







The one and only couple







Us







Anyway upon finishing dinner, a staff came up to me and asked my name. She pulled me up from the chair, to the front and made me stand on a bar chair right smack at the centre of the restaurant.
Ya Allah! Already I am so afraid of heights and I was in heels(though short)
They started singing me a birthday song only to have me being laughed at by my OWN sister, OWN cousin and OWN good ol' friend.
They didn't spare me from shame. Not especially when they said I couldn't come down till I scream "Hoo-Haa"
Hey I would have gotten down on my own if I wasn't afraid of falling ok!







High isn't it?

So after dinner, we were already so heavy and Pebbles was so crazy to tell us to do a 'jump shot'
With a big ass, I find a hard time doing it

*lol*

Ok let's start,







Ready...







Go!!!







Eh... Where is my face?
*chuckles*


Came home to a clean room with a big birthday gift. I was so excited that no one noticed me unwrapped the gift.
Hahahaha!


Saturday morning was rare. I had to relief Pebbles at AMP. Good thing was that Ef was there too though waking up in the morning was a drag. Despite so, it was quite refreshing to be there after a year and teaching the exact same students whom I taught. They were more excited than I was.
*lol*

Here was our after sing-along-after-class-session







Sunday was another full day of PMP class. In fact, I was too tired by then that it was a challenge to keep my eyes open. I chewed all that I could find the sweets and chocolates provided by the lecturer just to keep myself awake.

Here is how the class of currently 18 students look like














Being so physically and mentally challenged, mom reminded me that we had a musical to watch.
Yes! A Musical at the Esplanade.
P. Ramlee Musical.
When class ended at 6pm, I was stressing up on my way back thinking what to wear since we had to be formal. The brain was already failing but Alhamdullilah managed to pull out something fast and dad volunteered to help iron while I showered.
*wide smile*

Well, I had only an hour to pull out my clothes, shower and get ready to be seated by 8pm.
Thank God, in myopinion, I looked good. In fact, was asked to be interviewed about the play when it ended close to midnight.

Luckily my aunty was with me cos I shoved her to the camera. I was stressing out when the lens was right smack at my face with high-beamed light and what was worse was that I was asked to speak in Malay.

Die la like that.. Better be dumb and look gorgeous than to look gorgeous and sound stupid.
*hahaha*
Again in myopinion.







We managed to only take photos after the show and here were all we could get.













Anyway, the musical was fantastic. I truly enjoyed myself and glad that I actually attended it.
For 3.5 hrs of musical is definitely worth it!
Fantastic voices, coordination & Synchronisation and props!!


Finally, on Monday, mom dragged me out of the house, telling me that we needed to go Arab Street to scout for kain.
So there I was hurrying into my previous night's black pants, white t-shirt, same LV bag(cos tak sempat tukar bag) and slippers

I was wondering why she was hurrying through the shopping. Close to 3pm, I whined at her that I was hungry and she said ok.

Drove off and next thing I knew, I was in front of Royal Plaza on Scotts.
The next thing I heard was,"Get your big butt out of my car and wait for 2 people"
I was from a relaxed mode to a lost mode.

I wanted to ask her questions but there were cars at the back and apparently words couldn't form sentences.
Hahaha!
I got out. See her car drive away and I look around, thinking who the 2 people would be.
Didn't take me long though to pick up my phone and dialled Ef's no.

The min she answered, she was laughing away with Monis' voice at the background.
Then I knew.
Wat was planned and I so thought tak jadi was their conspiracy with my mom and Pebbles.


I felt so under-dressed looking at how gorgeous the girls were and how they dressed for the occasion that I was thanking God that I didn't change my bag.
Kalau tak, nampak macam balik dari pasar and not even Arab Street.
*lol*

Me with the gorgeous babes







Now you see what I mean as macam balik dari pasar as compared to them.













Dining time!



















There you go...
Hope you had a great time viewing the photos as much as I had fun loading them up.
But definitely not as fun as experiencing the whole thing.
Well, birthdays are supposed to be fun and well-remembered aren't they?

So for birthday bloopers go to Ef's multiply link and you can see it all there. How I was made fun of and the not very nice photos of me are put up.
*pouts*

Ok guys, you get to do that only once a year!
And that's it!!
Hahahaha!
