Happie New Year!

Happie New Year Friends!!

It's the year 2006. You know what... i'm turning 20 this year.. (hahaa.. birthday only over for a week and i'm already looking forward for the next) but no worries cos there's long way till december again.... my friends here reminded me that.. this will be the last year for me being a teenager. I was like, "What?? I thought 21 ??" No. no . They say, nine-teen... there's no more teen in twenty.. Oh ya, that make quite some sense.. =( Anyway, it's just numbers. As long as I'm young at heart, there's nothing I can'T do!!!!! (this cheesy sentence is influenced by the song currently playing, guess what song... Go the distance OST-Hercules!)

On 21st December 2005, I had my first anatomy test for this block.. It was on the wednesday... Previous day was another classmate of mine birthday, and a day after mine, another guy's birthday and I thought i was the youngest december baby!.. Fine then. Usually when someone's birthday, the class rep will announced in class and everyone will start singing birthday song but i told them not to sing cos i want my friends to sing cos they really want to.. when the adrenaline rush.. and they sing as loud as they want.. so no birthday song in class... I did not expect any party cos they my "india" family members and close classmates, boycotted me the whole day.. got cards and presents la.. aunt in Singapore mailed me Christmas and birthday present.. =)

Substory:- My dysfunctional india family consists of Me, the grandma (still dont understand y!!), Alicia -hot mama, Sashi - hot papa, Jeremy, my brother, Soh nam is anak pungut, Nicholas the ancestor and my grandson (kinda complicated) and Lester, our reincarnated pig. The ranking in family is all done by Nicholas (one gone cuckoo cuckoo guy). The family is formed after a night out for dinner in a local chinese restaurant where we really felt very close and just clicked like that. ^_^ We have this ritual that if anyone gets emo 9short for emotional), just say they are sad and all of us have to give group hug.. but golden rule no. 1: no group hug in public.. cos when we did it, we made lots of people laughed. =)

Then, when I thought I'll have to spend my birthday in the library,.. one of my guy friends wanna buy me dinner cos i did him a favour last time. I asked Alicia to come along but she says she wanna study in the room. I told her i'll buy her and the family dinner this saturday cos i thought everyone wanna study.. I agreed for dinner since i have no other plans.. (i know it sounds kinda sad now.. but wait first!).. Oh, in case you are wandering that guy is, Eng Han. He's a nice fella. Like a big brother. He can talk non stop. Hhahaa.. Yah.. so after dinner, when I told him to send me back to the hostel, he asked to dropped by for ice cream. All this time, 3 of my other guy friends, Lester, Nicholas n Steven messaged me separately just to make me feel extremely lonely on my birthday! But in fact, they just wanna make sure my whereabouts and there's someone kept calling Eng Han and he said it was his mum. I believed him cos he sounded so serious on the phone. After ice cream i told him to hurry up cos I wanna go to the library (yalar.. nerd la.. =P) then.. while passing KMC greens (somesort of garden-field) on the way back to my hostel, I sensed that Eng Han is delaying time .. finally... he received a call and told me.. "I dunno what reason to tell you to make you go to the other side, but the whole gang is there to celebrate your birthday..".. Boy, my heart just dropped. I was so scared.. and embarassed.. i kept telling eng han i didn't wanna go.. he told me he dont care.. just get my ass there cos they planned for quite long already...

When I went to the other side, (KMC Greens look real beautiful at night cos the night sky in India is clear and there's lots of stars), all my close friends were there. They told me they already saw enghan and me walking passed them (I was busy looking at the stars..heheh.. didn't notice so many eyes looking at me.. ) but they haven't light the candles yet.. so they asked eng han to buy them some time. I was just numb.. Cos indeed it was a suprise party.. My family members took all the trouble to made it possible. Something different from the previuos birthday parties. When I was eating ice-cream with EngHan, I asked him how he'll celebrate his girlfriend's birthday in India.. he told me he'll bring his girlfriend to watch sunset at endpoint, dinner at the poshest restaurant in Manipal/Udupi, etc. I told him, I just wanna celebrate my birthday at KMC greens under the stars with my closest friends.. and .... it really happened! And I have to admit I'm quite a guy bullier here.. I like to use the term 'boycott' on them but it never last long.. Hence, on my birthday cake, they wrote, "BOYCOTT, Happy Birthday!!" And after that, stupid Lester pig started to smashed cake, and i really meant, SMASH a piece of chocolate cake on my face. He started the, smash-amanda-with-cake game. I got cake all over my hair, face and there's 3 cameras clicking all the way, and i stupidly posed for the camera which reminds me of the time during standard 6 in Emmerie's house, where i had flour all over me and i still can posed nicely and got the nickname, Hantu EngAnn for it. Arrggh!!...And the guys brought guitar too. Sang songs, posed a lot!!..just chill out.. and they asked me to sing. ME?/ sing?.. hahaha.. i croaked for a while larh. But it was definitely touching and memorable.. very sweet of them!!.. Thanks a bunch to those present and made it possible!.. ^_^ And of course, me close friends in malaysia for wishin me too!!>..

Then new year eve also.. !!.. we had picnic at KMC greens!.. Hhehee... instead of clubbing like christmas eve, my family and i went for picnic at about 10.30 pm. Jeremy and I went to another town, Udupi to get fireworks and alcohol! Yes!! The fireworks here are LEGAL!! we bought the real big ones, like those u see on tv.. hahaa.. but only two shots cos it's expensive.. and red wine plus a small bottle of vodka. I brought my candles (those from Ikea) and made chili tuna toast sandwich, while Sashi made mashed potatoes with egg, Alicia made drinks and sliced cucumber, Sohnam brought fruits and Nicholas bought pizzas. Sashi brought his guitar too (he said his guitar has become the common guitar, everyone's property cos it's not in his room most of the time). Lester was the guitarisy (he's one talented dude.. he's active in church, plays instruments, genius and one gentleman, -no other meaning a-) The sky was also clear that night, just so peaceful.... in fact i really prefer this tahn clubbing but it'll be better if someone was there too.. as sooon as the clock struck 12, we light up the fireworks. I can tell you it was very very very beautiful.. but still... there's something missing... and that's my family and friends back home. I miss them a lot too admist the fun I had here.

Tht's the summarized version of what happened so far. I have lots to share with u guys.. but need to study lor!.. hehehe... ciaos!
