Sentosa Outing!!!
Yea!! With my JC classmates! This morning it actually rained then the rain stopped with cloudy sky, hence the sun was not scorching. juz nice for sentosa outing! I sort of lagging in my packing... ended up the rest of them waited for me for an hour before I turned up at the HarbourFront Centre's Foodcourt! Paiseh! So sorry!
The usual guys and yock were already there and yock gave me chocolates with cat designs!!! Awww~~~ I ate one there.... biting off its ears first, den the eyes... and the whole head and finally..... ok ok. Very nice~~ Yock had to celebrate her mum's bdae so she had to go off after the lunch. The rest of us set off to Sentosa at ard 3pm. We played Vball~~~ Mei and Jay joined us 1 hour later. Our arms got red and swollen... For me, My right hand/arm are shaking still... now cant type smoothly oso.... but better than writing... lucky most of my homework used computers... My arms have red dots now lor.....can feel the bones inside bruised. but aint big deal lar~
Sand kept getting into my eyes.... very terrible... The guys (ahba, bro, yk, wm, wk,gabz and jason) were always so energetic, playing funny movements with kicks and diving and dunno watever. Gals there were only me and mei~ Joven had sudden interview call so she rushed back home to prepare for the immediate interview... poot thing! Finally 6 plus and we stopped playing. And we started the food fest! Yk brought pizzas, some got drinks, sel got jellies, me brought 4 cans of fruits cocktail! Ahhhh~~~~ so delicious. Meanwhile took a few photos... :
See the cloudy sky....
The bench with us eating....
Hmm the sky got so dark that we worried it might rain. So we hurried to pack up and bathe.... We took a long time to queue.... esp. the gals' toilet. So some of the guys went to play soccer etc and ate the food.
Finally I am the last to finish bathing. We reached a big pavilion to put our food there and finished up the cocktail and bottled drinks.
Finally we reached Harbourfront Centre. I decided the place to be at PastaMania.... Joven came finally~~~ haha. Venki and Mich could not make it. One overslept, the other i think got work to do. Haiz, no choice lor~~ Anway after meal we chatted quite some time and realised alot of ppl 'disappeared', left weikun and yk to tok to me. The whole night weikun had been very disturbing! Also some of them started to mention my famous lines I created last time... Once again my 'reputation' gone again hahaa~~~
Oki~~ after some time everyone returned and they presented me some cheese cream cake! here's the full photo!
Mei gave me presents, jov gave me an additional letter - "love letter" hahaha!! And ah ba rep the rest and gave me the class present. wahwah... den the Pastamania ppl gave me a Chocolate Mousse as a complimentary thingy for bdae ppl. Wah!! so many things to eat! and many things to do * stress*. I opened mei's present and yea! It's a bag and a towel! I need a small bag cos sometimes I dun need to carry so much things ... been looking ard for some time so finally!!! The towel is very sweet too!! Here's the photo~~
After that I went to eat that cheese cream cake... wah very full~~ I started to eat the choc mousse when my dear impatient frens pressed me to guess and open the class present. And the whole process of opening this present is RECORDED in VIDEO!!!!! haha, who wans then tell me ar. Guess wat's the present? A DKNY watch~ very stylish, heard that my Ah ba choose the design one~~ hahaa~~
Then under request, I wore the watch immediately~~ ahaha, den continued to finish the rest of my desert~! Wah so full~~~ happy!
Finally, after some time we went home~~ And now I got a few tots to say:
I wanna thank my JC frens for giving me a memorable 21st bdae celebration besides the archi one. I really feel very fortunate to have all of u and u ppl really spice up my life. Thank you! Hope we'll continue like this or closer still in the many years to come! I really like ur presence and that's y I ask u all to go sentosa etc. Sorry to make u all play Vball and got all the red painful arms. Haha sel got 2 hours sleep yesterday... mei was piaing work until the time before she came. Hhaha, thanks for making time out for me!!
I din get to play... :o(
but glad that you enjoy your birthday celebration! :o)
