23rd Birthday

^!^ : Yea!!! It's fun!! and we're going again! hahaha. whee~!!!

Terence: Bro! I will visit you in June ok. Good luck with your exams preparations!!! Bon luck! hahaha. I'm finally going to Paris. Le City of Lurve. But i must survive my exams first. *terrified look*

Sista: Gentleman is a nice way to put it. I call it the househusband. What is the male version of a tai tai? Cooking is super fun though. Too bad our house oven is spoilt. I'm getting good at grilling meats.

cookie_monster: of course i can cook. but here only got pasta. hahaha. limited equipment. I'm going to Edinburgh tmr! hehehe. weekend trip.. then must study hard already. what are your plans?

Windz: I agree that pple only read as often as i update. but i can't help it. it's either i'm too busy, or i've got really crappy time management. Not everyone is as free as Electrical engineering ok.

Liuyk: Yuankang!! Why are you in Msia? ??? ???? ????? climb mountain ah. anyway, we must play football in RI when i get back! you know what. i sprained my ankle 4 weeks ago and it's still pain. I'm bloody old now. one month for a sprained ankle? it used to be 1 day! =(

------------------------------ the post starts here ----------------------------------------

This year, i turn 23!! but in 2007, there is still no 29th February. Many people tell me that they feel sorry for me for having such a crappy birthday. But why is 29/02 crappy? I LOVE IT. Why? Becos...
1) it may be difficult to celebrate but it's easy to remember!
2) I sometimes get to celebrate on both 28/02 and 1/03 if i'm lucky! and finally,
3) 4 times less people on this planet have the same birthday as me! so it's 1/365 * 1/4 = 1/1460.
yes yes. i know someone will wanna correct my probability. go ahead i dun care. haha.

You know quite a few guys have told me in the past "If you bday really 29/02, i cut off my balls." i tried to tell them but they didn't listen. Sigh. See? another plus point. No no not the balls what are you thinking? I'm saying that it's a good conversation topic.

Anyway, my dearest vivian organised a really massive party for me, and cooked my favourite foods for our guests and me! It was yummy! Ok i'll let the pictures do the talking.




These are the party pictures!

Look at the food available! Mee siam! Vivian was just asking me what i feel like eating. and i stupidly said "ooh i miss mee siam." and she went all the way down to china town to buy all the ingredients on her own!

I think i'm quite easily tricked. Sorry for not saying something easier. Like "Oooh i miss sainsbury pizza."

Anyway, everyone loved the food and had lotsa fun! (that's the impression i got.)

I grinned like a fool while unwrapping presents.

hehe. thanks everyone for making my 23rd such a wonderful memory. I will always remember this.

Thank you, my favourite girl, for making all this happen. As i always believe, the party is only as big as the organiser plans it to be. Even though you were busy with work, you still took a few days off to put this party together. You're the best!

Prague

vivian: hmm. i can't decide which one is best too. anyway... it looks like hardly anyone is reading this blog anymore becos my poll for favourite quotes has one reply. =( anyway... i shall still post up some of our photos from prague!!

We started our trip with coffee and cake in a cafe located in an office/ shopping centre kinda thing.

This is the office/ shopping place kinda place. We're here becos we wanted to go to the supermarket! which is kinda an aunty thing to do, but i wanted to make use of the kitchen in our hostel apartment to make dinner!

Dinner. nothing very special cos of the limited cooking tools. the white wine was really nice and so was the conversation. it's really relaxing to sit down for a couple of hours and just talk.

after talking, vivian had to go back to do her coursework becos the evil lecturers gave her so much to do!

I didn't just make dinner. I made breakfast!

It's quite funny becos vivian spent the night doing her coursework, while i slept and got up early to make breakfast. i asked her if a househusband is a good ambition. muahahahaha. but i actually enjoy cooking.

We went sightseeing after breakfast. This is the change of guard. not really as spectacular as england's.

and the stupid guard didn't wanna take photo with me.

Panaromic view of Prague!

it's actually not that spectacular again. but there is no higher point.

still... the climb was quite tiring. so i'm ok with this height already.

Next we went to the river.

It's really beautiful, and it is really quite romantic.

But i forgot the name of the river. oops.

Oooh... us with the river and scenery.

Old town square.

Vivian and I try to be models with those old buildings.

We eat again. This time, it was authentic Czech food, pork knuckle and roast duck, with Czech's favourite beer!

The narcissists couldn't resist a photo with their reflections. It was in a high class shopping centre which was so expensive that it was empty. and we couldn't buy anything so we took photos.

The streets had cheaper things. i bought pair of leather shoes for 10 pounds and vivian bought a pair of sunglasses for 5!

Shopping is fun!! ok. i'm starting to sound gay.

But it's true! ....I mean shopping.

Us with the street which i forgot the name. The street is as long as its name, and it's a favourite shopping area!

Overall, prague was a beautiful place, but somehow lacking that "ultra romantic" image that i had in mind before i went. The thing that left the deepest impression is that...

all the cars are dusty. dunno why.

Who says football's all rough and tough?

Thought of a few captions for this interesting picture. Which is best?

1) There is more than one way to score on the football pitch.

2) If you can't get the ball, get the man.

3) Injecting new life into the modern game.

4) Bend it like Beckham. The Sequel.
