brief 21st birthday celebration(continuation)

Alright nicol, you win... Yea, so here's the 2nd part of the sequence... Enjoy!

Meeting chronicle 2:

Wednesday:
"Tis the day...!", I said to myself. "Whatever happens, happens...". The usual routine was laid at its place, everything seemed to go at its own pace. Right after class, that's where the 'meeting' arrangement began. Keng Sing came up to me and told me that the other group members for IT(refer to the previous post) were to go to his house for the discussion. Hence, I followed him to his humble abode whereby I was playing some IGoogle game called 'Electricman 2' while waiting patiently for the rest to come.

It was around 5.45pm when I reached his house. Half past 6, Hui Yen called and asked us to divert our course of meeting to MCD's as it was a heavy jam at the opposite side of UCSI university. "Alright, no problem. We'll head there as soon as we can for the 'MEETING'...". There zoomed the both of us, right back to taman connaught. Immediately upon reaching, I darted in to MCD's just to find no trace of any of my group members... "Wah liau, I thought they already reach liau wan... Hmmm...", a silent thought occured as I sat on 1 of the chairs. Keng Sing, being himself, went out to call the girls I presume. Moments pass, and Hui Yen finally reached with her band of girls in her car. From MCD's, our appointment shifted to Ampang... *Wow, how meeting places can progress so quickly from one to the other*

Our tour around MRR2 brought us to this place called Ampang, and we reached there around 8.40pm where we ordered our food and beverages. The moment I stepped foot into the restaurant(it's a thai restaurant, serving real authentic thai delicacies and generous portion as well by the name of.... I forgot... 21 years old dy ma! Where can remember so many things...), I was greeted by a couple of 'Happy Birthday' wishes that came my direction. "Thanks so much!" I replied. We had our meal, were chit-chatting away, took times and folds of pictures. Before the clock striked a particular time to indicate our departing from that place, Sin Yee smuggled a bag of tissue papers into Hui Yen's handbag... Coooool~ "Ok, so, that's the end of my 'meeting'... Simple and nice... Great food!" I thought. Everyone bade their goodbyes to one another, making it more believable that that's the end of our 'meeting'.

I predicted up until this part of the 'meeting' that it would take place... However, it was not so for the following...
*************************************************************************************

(Around 11pm at night):
As we reached taman connaught, I asked Keng Sing to stop me by the petrol station, as in Cheras, it's well known for the longest pasar malam in KL, so with the crowd over there, even if a man gets trampled to pancake size there, nobody will know... That's how congested the crowd is. Anyway, as I opened the door and was about to step out, Keng Sing pulled my hand and asked me not to leave... Whoah... What's the occasion... I wanna go back already, am I prohibited from leaving the car? Goodness... Then he took a turn out and parked at Samosa(a cafe right in front of my university) "Alright, go get your car!" That time, Syeet Yeng, Jae Sean, Elaine, Cindy, Shen Yean and Keng Sing were already there. Where were the others? Hmmm... Fishy...

I walked up to get my car, drove it down and as I reached the exit, lo and behold...!

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to Joseph, happy birthday to you....!"

Sin Yee was walking towards my direction as they were singing the song...
What a sight to behold, friends celebrating your birthday.... .... in the most unimaginable way possible... >>> 21 small candles around my cake! OH MY GOODNESS......... I need a fire extinguisher!!!

Anyway, my smile ceased as they had me make my birthday wish which I closed my eyes and wished that... *no disclosing!* Then, I opened up my eyes, blew the candle, and as I was about to lift up my head... *Splat!.... Splat, splat splat!* They threw white cream on my face with tissue papers! The ones taken from the thai restaurant! My whole face was covered with snow-white cream, till my eyes resembled those of santa claus' beard! Not only that, even my shirt, pants and car weren't spared! Scary... Now I know how much they hate me as they relinquished their wrath and fury with flurry of cream-blows on me... HAHAHAHA! Just kidding!

It was really fun all in all... We took more pictures, and soon in just a night, I became like a renowned star, except that I was more down to earth. And guess what... Someone whom I didn't mention earlier in the previous post came to celebrate my birthday too... Guess who...? It's non other than the infamous 'without-E'... Nicol!!! Hahaha... It was a blunder when she came lar.. Cause soon after she reached, she just had the itch to take the strawberry on my cake, coat it thick with cake cream and marked my face like that of a jungle warrior(2 stripes on both sides of my cheek) Yea, incoming pictures! Honour was given to her, because not only did she came late; amidst her busy schedule, she still made time and came all the way to taman connaught to celebrate my birthday, and in return, I just had to accompany her to the night market, along with the rest! Haha...

Basically, all these took place on wednesday, and it will remain memorable as it stays in this blog of mine, but even technology can fail at times. However, what remains permanently, is in this 10gb memory brain-disk of mine. Thanks guys for such a great birthday celebration! =D

brief 21st birthday celebration

I think this will the longest post ever, as it will be broken into 2 sequential story line... And it'll all be words and no images, so I hope I can portray it as interesting as possible. Enjoy peeps!

Before I begin, I'd like to thank my faithful and wonderful friends for such an awesome 'meeting'! Not only that, most of all, thanks for just being my friends... =D Awwww... Anyway, they are none other than... JENG JENG JENG!

Shen Yean, Sin Yee, Cindy, Hui Yen, Keng Sing, Nicol, Syeet Yeng, Jane, Jae Sean, Kian Keat, Elaine(I hope I didn't spell your name wrongly... XP) and not forgetting, the person who started this whole huge thingy with a tiny spark from an sms sent to me on monday as i was driving back from uni, Yu Wei! Hahaha...

Meeting chronicle 1:

Monday night:
As I was driving through the windy breeze in my mini vehicle, I was alerted by an sms that came to my digi mobile phone. As usual, thinking that it might be something that requires my utmost attention, I trailed my hand to my phone located in the squarish hole in between the 2 front seats. I picked it up, unlocked the key pad password, and opened the message. I was paying attention forward, more to where I am going rather than to my phone message. The road in front of me was clear, and soon cars were passing faster than the speed rate of a huge bolder falling from the cliff. I browsed the message as it read, "hey..joseph...are u free on wed after written discourse class?" To which I replied, "Oh, that would depend on what do you mean by free... Why ah?" The incoming message's reply was, "means you are free lor?". I was giggling when I received this cliche reply... So I came up with the next reply, "Cause wanna rush for assignment ma.. Wanna discuss something is it?". Then I was stoned when the person on the other end of the phone replied, "ya lor..i also dun want to discuss but no choice..anyway.. dun PPK yar :-)" "Whoah", I thought to myself... I continued my journey home... *by the way, the person was Yu Wei....

Tuesday morning:
Arrived to class at 10.30am in the morning, just in time to see Ms. Shafida advising the other group for design and layout. I proceeded to my seat and settled down. As I was catching my breath, Hui Yen came up to me and said, "Joseph, tomorrow can have meeting ar? Wanna discuss the IT(internet technology) assignment." "Ok, no problem", I said. Thinking it was just a normal discussion, having ponder that it was just normal to have that meeting, I drank my water. "Bring your guitar ah!" *almost spraying the water out of my mouth* I replied, "Huh?! Why wanna bring guitar?"
"Ok lar, then bring camera!"
"Oh, camera can lar..."
Settled, that was tuesday...
*actually, already thought that they'll celebrate for me... Wasn't really much of a surprise, cause I was too smart for them...* XD JUST KIDDING!

brief bird park trip

Before I begin, I'd like to make a humble confession: I know that I always update my blog slow kay, so get used to it! It's not like I blogged about Chinese New Year in May ok... Haha.

Readers: What's this trip all about ah?
Joseph: A random idea that developed into a promise that soon became a meeting of 4 people. They were Kristine, Max, Loi and myself. These 4 adventurers braved themselves as they undertook a quest that required them to take PICTURES of birdies... =D YAY!

Readers: Oh... Hahaha... When was the trip?
Joseph: The trip took place last Saturday (11/07/09). Basically, I was supposed to meet the other adventurers at 10am in Bangsar lrt station. However, due to a certain reason, I reached there at 10.30am instead and hindered their progress. Anyway, friends being friends, our band of adventurers are very forgiving and kind... However, I'll try not to press my luck further next time... >.<

Reader: Oh my goodness... That's so diva...
Joseph: Not compared to Kelvin Kuan! HEhe... Vain... Well, after leaving Bangsar station, we went to a mamak stall nearby to have our breakfast. Here are the pictures of the before and after meal

Reader: Wow, you sure made a mess in that mamak stall...
Joseph: Oh, no worries... Max's close with the boss over there... They call each other by the term of "Abang". Brothers... Or so it seems... From thereon, we made our journey to Bird Park! So, here are some photos to commemorate our trip!

Well, the journey ends here... Hope to see ya'll soon...
Till then, Au Revoir~

brief welcoming party for my cousin

Yesterday, there were 3 parties to be engaged, but obviously, being a human how can you split to a few clones... IMPOSSIBLE! Well, everybody's got a choice to make... Actually, not really much of a choice lar, it was impressed upon me that I should go, so i did! I attended the welcome back dinner for my cousin. Whoah... He grew a couple more groupings of beard around his face... Haha!








And there beside his pic is his humble, marvelous Subaru Impreza from s'pore. Cool right... Too bad it was dark at night when i took the pic, so it isn't that clear... However, if you see it in the morning, you might wanna jump into the car and sit in it without ever stepping foot on ground again. Anyway, for us who reached earlier at my aunt's house, we makan-ed first. Then came the folks from Shah Alam! We had lotza fun yesterday, especially after meal when sugar was high in everybody's blood... My goodness...
I promised my aunt that i'll promote her synthetic flowers... Well, she needn't ask, i'll do it willingly cause it's really nice! Done to the utmost perfection, great handiwork, fine skill and wonderful mastery... Wanna buy? I can do phone-booking for you... Haha



Yea, they all look yummy alright! Hehe... Even if you forgot to give thanks for your food, don't worry, it's really THE-LUSCIOUS! Actually, it's delicious lar... And the Best Dessert, winning all-year round Super-Duper Crumbler Award for 6 years consecutively beating the other contestats hands down, legs down, face down... The Most Iressistible Dessert goes to... >>


We had dessert after meal and all our stomach were delighted by the sweet-sour dessert. Thereafter, my other mini cousins went for a spin in the vehicle my elder cousin drove, Impreza. Really impressive lar... Then it was time to go home. We took our leave from one another and we called it a day.... Oh wait! Before that! The most happening event of the day!


Till then, Au Revoir~
