smile like you mean it

pardon me, there are gonna be a whole lot of photos in this post! if u've got limited connection like yours truly, i suggest not letting the photos load.

ladies and gentlemen, i have hit my big tooo-ohhhh! nothing much, u might think, to shout about, but i'm under firm conviction that birthdays are the ONE day of the year you should be happy about coz it's the ONE day every year where it's JUST about you =)

so. this is my birthday post.

Thurs
jien came into my room after i reached home from the airport from picking my sis sharp at 12am to wish me happy birthday. oohs. me loves her! teehee. vin, i love you too ok? =p
thanks soooo much everyone for remembering!! =) sooo touched!

Fri
my sister came down from adelaide with ken (obviously her bf if you didn't already know).
was supposed to go shopping with her at 12 but she called saying she couldn't make it so early coz she was busy! so postponed to two. met her then and shopped myself stupid. bought two pairs of boots.. one grey pair and one super furry pair with dice! lolz.

gambling kaki. teehee.

headed to max brenner's at central later coz my sister wanted to try a piece of chocolate heaven. plus we had to wait for my bro and mad to finish work and pick us.

chocolate by the bald man (;

ken and my lovely sister

headed to docklands for dinner where we ate at this super classy restaurant called berth with my bro and madison.

at some fibreglass stonehenge model at docklands. looks like the arch sirius fell through as he died. just my opinion. lol.

berth with my *cough* extremely good looking family (;

food's not that great but the ambiance is fantastic.

went home to chill when suddenly the lights went out and a cake appeared! X)

my sister postponed our shopping so she could pick up a cake! X)

mango gateau from the crown bakery. recommended by ms. madison chan. she's got the most fab taste in everything (;

they got me the relighting candles! zomg. so hard to blow out. apparently it was accidental coz my bro was like 'wei, ann, quickly blow it out or the fire alarm will be set off and if the fire engines come we'll have to pay them' and my sis was like 'how come candles in melbourne are so expensive?'
my sister and ken started to help me blow (in case the fire alarms REALLY got set off) but to no avail! but the candles burnt themselves out in the end (;

siblings! minus 1

more mango gateau. i got the largest slice X)

went to catch simpsons at village cinemas after that. the movie's kinda boring in my opinion =/

Sat
woke up and went for dimsum at sharkfin inn. my bro even made a reservation coz he said there if you don't have reservation you won't get to eat! the dimsum is seriously to die for though. SO good!

at sharkfin inn.

part of the dimsum we had. lolz. don't have all coz i was busy eating. X)

went to visit uncle hoongming, aunty kimlan, kenny and ben for a few hours. came back to chill for a bit where i camwhored with my prezzies and we opened a bottle of champagne.

my bro got me and my sister bears from the build-a-bear-workshop! he named mine dobby and my sister's winky. soooo cute! they come with birthcerts and locating bar-code hearts. teehee. mine's in the sleeping clothes -_-
bro and mad said have to get clothes that match our personalities.. winky's in the whole medical getup while according to everyone, i'm always narcoleptic hence my bear following suit. lol. i'm SO gonna go buy more clothes for dobby.

houseelves. no. housebears. teehee.

more dobby.

and more.

and chie and i tried to have a paris hilton lookalike *cough*
bimbo activity. LOL. bears are supposed to be chihuahuas. lolz. although i dont' want ANYBODY comparing dobby to tinkerbell ever.

in my opinion, she failed miserably. LOL.

mad distributing champagne. *pop!fizzlefizzle*

cheers!

headed to men's gallery after that with co, mad, chie, ken and eng hoe. lolz. gotta say, that was some experience. don't think i'll head back there anytime again. lolz.

i had a blast. really enjoyed my 20th birthday. thanks co, chie, madison and ken and everyone else that made this birthday such an enjoyable and memorable one!

my bounty: sweater from jien, bear (and skiing trip) from co and mad, minutes to midnight and trench from sis and ori uefa euro 04 shirt bought in portugal(!) from ken.

and of course...

a card from my princess! awwwww.

may the force be with twenty-year old smurfs enjoying their birthdays,
cheers~
