My 21st Birthday.

So, turning 21 was all the happy moments. Apart from the last minute frustrations of who to invite, when to have it and you know it, Imma just a great procrastinator. And maybe, I work best at such times. So, track back a lil. On my actual birthday, my boss at (@ilovediscountmy) actually brought me and Yen Fen for lunch. We somehow walked around and we ended up at Marmalade, Bangsar Village. Being a pasta fan, I went for the Grilled Chicken Pesto Spaghetti. I thought the taste was weird initially, but after a bite or two, i started to fall in love with it. It’s addictive. If you hate the smell of vegetables of pesto, this is so not yours. The olives makes it taste great too.aIMG_0539 Thinking about it, I should just head there and grab a bite one of these days. I love indulging in good food.aIMG_0540 At night, my parents decided to bring me out for a walk. I ended up getting myself some really good tees and some jeans and khakis, which I thought it actually summed up the 2 years I’ve not bought pants. Being someone who has a sweet teeth, mum offered for Haagen Dazs. Apa lagi? Sapu only la right! The last I had a proper Haagen Dazs (not in scoops, but in a mega serving) was a few years back in Penang. So, here you go. I indulge in this great stuff. I won’t mind going back for it again. Any takers?bIMG_0541 It’s best to have it when you share it with friends la. No selfish selfish all. =)bIMG_0542 And here comes the weekend, where I had a party. Well, a dinner in a way. I don’t party hard anyways. Imma good boy.IMG_0532 So, in a celebration, the Malaysian way; we can never do without food right? So, here’s all the super fooood you can see.IMG_0533 And of randomness, I actually think that the Yong Tau Fu is super good, and the Satay is more than just awesome! Betul la. Tak tipu. Now, I feel like heading to the Haji Samuri near MRR2 for some good good satays! Another offer, anyone?IMG_0534 As usual, this is the bunch who takes the most pictures most of the time. They are just best best crazy kawans! Lovin’ them to bits. They make my days on the weekends, and maybe sometimes, the weekdays too. Some friends and family over at my party.IMG_1826 See, I just proved my point. They take more pictures than I do.IMG_1827 And, here you go.IMG_1829 I am hungry looking at it all now. Serious. No Joke!IMG_1830 See the Yong Tau Fu? 😛IMG_1831 I don’t know what to say, but look at her face!IMG_1835 Someone asked me about the caterer, and the interior. So, I’ve got a horse there. Thinking about it, I think I was actually born in the Year of the Horses. But I don’t know how to ride a horse, neither do I talk to the horse. IMG_1839 Satay Satay Satay! I am going back to Haji Samuri sometime this week. I don’t care!IMG_1840 Me with the fatness looks. I call it indulgence, but many call it fattening.IMG_1843 But this picture definitely beat my picture hands down la! Nick, you win!IMG_1844 Ice kacang. I have this weird thing I don’t know why. I ask for Ice Kacang kosong; where there’s only crushed ice. I will then pour cordial in it and just eat it that way. I think, now, I have issues kan? IMG_1848 I had my food. I felt like a superstar. People came to take pictures of me. This is shameless captions of myself (and the food)IMG_1849 They wanted to be superstars that day too! So, I gave them a chance.IMG_1850 Err, I said I gave them a chance.IMG_1852Sorry for the hideous pictures. My sister held the camera all the time. I hardly took my phone out for pictures except for Tweeting. I think my iPhone pictures might look better! IMG_1866 Family. =)IMG_1867 We don’t know which camera was flashing so, we just turn our heads 180 degrees.IMG_1868 A bigger family, with aunties and uncles. 😀IMG_1874 IMG_1875 This was a photo I insist that I must take. My grandma (dad’s side) and my grandpa (mum’s side) that I told myself I’ve gotta take this. Not that I’m thinking of anything mean, but hey, they are my grandparents. They are oldies. They watched me grow.IMG_1878 Okay, the other 2 apes that came out of the jungle. They drive me up the wall but yet at times, it’s still all good.IMG_1879 Some church friends that came. I think Min Han looks really fierce! 😛IMG_1880 See, I think the jungle opened up it’s way for them to be there with me. I am blessed. =DIMG_1883 IMG_1884 I thought I’d just show something to make you remember this post. So, this was the only picture that might put this post in your mind. How a guy tried to kiss another guy on his birthday. Not just an ordinary birthday, but my 21st birthday!IMG_1885 More church friends. I remember how I grew up with them every time I see this picture.IMG_1886 How can my Uni mates be exempted right? I wanna highlight the girl on the right. She is as usual, crazy. If the pictures below shows her jumping and all, I think she came out from the jungle too! 😛IMG_1889 I actually really love this pic! =)IMG_1890 And here’s where the game actually began. I was splashed, more like poured water on. No ice water this round. So, I think it’s still cool. And I think it was like drama. Everyone’s watching!IMG_1895 Here’s my dad secretary who was reluctant, but made to take a picture of my wet self.IMG_1896 I was like all wet. Wet to the very wet.IMG_1897 See, I told you. Drama kan!?!?! Everyone’s looking! 😀IMG_1898 Got changed. More uni friends came later to hang out. Check out Edmund’s face on the right. I don’t know what his mouth was trying to do. I really don’t.IMG_1900 From the jungle? Or maybe more like from APIIT.IMG_1901 Jeng Jeng Jeng. I tak tau what’s this.IMG_1902 So, this was a belated party with the I Love Discounts team. We rock. So, they celebrated mine and Yen Fen’s (Web Designers) birthday together. Hers was later in August.IMG_1912 So, a small cake. We got Starbucks vouchers too! Our company loves us to the max. Super max! 😀IMG_1913 And of course, these are the gifts I got. Truly happy about it. The Super Heroes thingy was awesome. I got a Superman iPhone 4 cover. I think thats just too awesome. I feel the power now. Topman and Soda gave me great attires. Machines? Don’t be deceive. It’s still tshirt!zIMG_0535 But with all your generosity, I am buying a MacBook. So, I’ll still be a happy boy! 😀zIMG_0536zIMG_0537 Next post, I will do an official Thank You message la! I’ve actually written down all your names and all. It means a lot to me. =)
