Mei's 21st Bdae!!~
hehe~ before I MIA here, I will post on Mei's 21 bdae party yesterday at her house! yea~~
I went to town yesterday afternoon to get all the deco stuff before i met up with yock at Redhill. Her mum is so nice and kind to give me a lift to mei's house~ The rest of the 61 clique met up at sixth avenue at 5:30pm. By the time me and yock reached there, the rest of them were there already. In fact they finished the first helpinng.... anyway, this is the front of mei's house:
The food from Mum's Kitchen were placed outside in the foyer~
The guys were outside chatting while the gals and other mei's frens were in the house. Mei's frens were watching Miss Singapore at that time. While we 61 gals chit chat among ourselves at the eating table. Haha alot of insects flying around and we were juz having fun screaming at those insects, and hiding behind jo.... so now, who's the safest? jo la... haiyo...
The food's damn nice, got satay and bobochacha as well!!!! awww~~~~~ me and yock ate bobochacha the most. I loved the flour jellies while yock dun and prefer the yam and potato...so she always threw those jellies to me... Mei oso made those agar agar jellies like those that selly made. But mei's are pink and white(transparent). haha we gals were happily eating and after eating, we occupied ourselves with taking photos among us... meanwhile mei was busy around in the house. Jo refused to take photos with us and she insisted in being the camera-women... tsk.... here goes:
we got mei with us before she ran off somewhere again.
I was taking photo of angie, mich and yock while jo snapped a photo of the situation...
ok finally four of us in picture
All right, now is double portraits!!! haha since this is my camera, i only have me and with each other gals... ahah
This is with mei~ haha she's beaming with sunshine smile despite her exhaustion of running around and preparing stuff.
With yock~ Oh, when me and yock walked into the house together upon arrival, jo said we two looked like twins from afar~! hahaha. Not the first time i hear that we two looked alike like sisters or some sort. :p
With mich~ hmm, she seemed to have tanned herself since the last time i saw her... did she?
With angie~ wah, finally see her after soooo long!~ aiyo.... wah she seemed to slim down alot... poor gal, shld eat more!
After that we gals joined the guys outside to chit chat and crap... haha
I sneaked a photo of the class guys there... Bro very alert and he siam his face from the camera!!! urgh!
Ah ba and Yk had a beer competition to see who can gulp down one can of beer the fastest.... Ah ba won.... and Yk didnt feel well after gulping down like that. See, they all never listen to Aunty Julie's advice that such gulping down of beer is no good. "Bu4 Ting1 Lao3 Ren2 Yan2, Chi1 Kui1 Zai4 Yan3 Qian3". tsk tsk.
After talking, yock went to get a bowl of bobochacha to eat. Den I got tempted and went to get one for myself. Later, mich oso got tempted!!! ahaha so three of us started eating again!!! Jo found this scene so amusing that she decided to take photo of three of us with bobochacha on our spoons....... There are two photos on this. But this blurer one is nicer...
I dun think i wan to put the clearer one... u know why? well, I dunno wat jo did with the flash but the outcome showed 'wonderful' display of skin colour gradients... With Mich looking like an
African, me like a
Geisha, and yock middle middle colour. So scary!!! so I decided not to put it up, else i think the other gals will kill me too. haha~
Finally!! abt 9 plus, Mei decided to cut her cake!! All of us crowded at the eating table~ David, the ex-Singapore Idol candidate was pretty onz and 'loud' hahaa~~ ok la, we sang song and mei made her wish, and cut her cake~~~
hahaha, i felt so xing4 fu2 with all the food in my stomach but felt sinful after that hahhaa... wanna thank mei and her parents for all these food, hosting, preparations, event etc. We really enjoyed ourselves~ Finally here's a 'family' photo of the 61 clique.
hehe ard 10 plus, many started to leave. Yock's mum came to give me a lift home as well! so happy!!! I love to haf car lift~~ hehe~~ thanks yock and her mum~ Well, so I had to leave earlier than the rest... but I think they left soon after that too bah.... hehe~
all right, that's all folks!
my mum also say u and yock look alike!! haha
hahaha~~ really meh?? =P dun think they look alike upclose lar~~
they looked like twins when they walked in... hahaha...
haha, can make a Twins Effect Movie of our own liao~~
actually dont look alike loh, just the hair...mayb the zao xing is alike that day...
hair very different lor. One rebond; one natural... zao xing ar.... ok lar... not very same lar... hahaha~~~ u all ate too much until eyes blur blur~
the comment didn't come from me, I just extrapolated frm wat others said
haha ok la~
