In addition to the previous post...
Thanks also to Amelia wifey, Jes gay partner and Rain sista dearest for your birthday wishes.
And.... I forgot to mention that I ended up throwing my "face" away. Cos I couldn't bear to cut it OR eat it. So, I.... threw it away. ROFL.
AND!! I didn't sleep last night and I'm now in the middle of a 8am lecture. All the best to me.

Birthday Pictures!
Tons of pictures! Thanks so much to everyone who remembered my birthday. Thanks to da clique, thanks to those who wished me happy birthday (Rou Hua, Gladys, Ash, and tons of other people who don't have access to my blog)
19th January - Dinner with my family
My dad has become really popular with my friends, somehow. Thought you guys would love to see how he picks his teeth, haha.
Eck, we were dying from stuffing all that food down.
After dinner and shopping for CNY stuff, we went back home for the cake. The candles are unique right?! My sister got them secretly on her trip to Australia in October and saved it for my birthday cake. :D
Presents from my uncle + aunt and also my sister. (She gave me a new MP3)
My dad with uncombed hair. He looks damn goon la. HAHAHAHA.
And after taking the first picture above, he suddenly became aware that he looked very goon and went to comb his hair. I've got a vain dad! omgsss
And now that he has combed his hair, he looks totally like some villian off the TV. My friends from primary school didn't dare to call me ever since they saw my dad at the Meet-the-Parents Session. They thought he was some 大哥大 that goes around killing people, ROFL.
OMG, see? HE LOOKS SLY!!! 坏人脸!!
I tried to put on a 坏人脸 as well, but I didn't look half as sly as he does. HAHA.
Then, we asked my Ah Ma to take a picture together with me. And her immediate response was to comb her hair. Why my family people all like to comb hair one huh?
Vain Ah Ma, lol.
At midnight of 20th January, I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of eating Viennetta ice cream on my birthday. HAHAHAHA.
This is to show OHF what Viennetta ice cream looks like :D
It's an ultra cute LEHBIT necklace!! <333
20th January - Dinner with da clique :D
We went to Modestro's for dinner, an Italian restaurant at Vivo. It's ridiculously priced though. Go Timber instead! Nicer food at cheaper prices completed with live band performances. :D
Cream of green pea soup that Renny, Jing Chuan and I shared. It tastes.... pea-y :D
Four cheese pizza. Not bad, but Timber does them better. =x
Our dearest Ling Ling was so tired she didn't even have the strength to talk. Caught a few unglam shots of her.
....... no strength to talk, but got strength to pose, of course. Ling Yi lai de leh. HAHA.
We kept taking photos of her and in the process forcing her to pose. >:D
Renny took this. Looks yummy right? (:
My current favourite picture of my daughtie. HAHAHAHA.
....... she meant to look er.... barbaric, but the picture turned out really cute, hahahaha.
The surprise of the night = my birthday cake!! It's me AND MY HUSBAND OBAMA!!! OMG SO NICE RIGHT!! RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT!!!
Renny designed this <3333333333
And two mini-cupcakes that look like alien boobs.
It was rather mobid so I didn't eat my husband's face. =\
We all love this cartoon Obama, hehehehehehe.
Can tell that she looks dead tired hor. =( Rest more okay Mich!
Xian acting cute again. =3
Bekah looks so comfortable leaning on me.... :D
I think... I make the best bed in the whole world. LOL!
Mich insisted on wearing Ling's scarf although we all told her the colour of it didn't match her clothes. Pffffft. :D
The waitors and waitresses at this restaurant all don't know how to take pictures properly one leh. This was the only.... "see-able" photo and it's so blur.... ~_____~
And another surprise: My boss took the trouble to get a gift and deliver it to my doorstep PERSONALLY!! (She's real busy with work when I don't have time to help her out) Some more is branded bag bought from Metro. OMG LA. I'm super duper touched. T____T
And finally, today - Had lunch with Jing Chuan outside. We wanted to go to Thai Noodle House, but it was closed for CNY. ^#*&($^)(*&^#^%$..... Ended up at Mad Jack. Their food is okay but not that great. At least it's not too expensive.
And then, I had dinner with my sister at Jack's Place just now. Didn't take any pictures cos I'm tired from my 3 hours of sleep.
Ciaoz~ Enjoy the pictures and don't complain about how long they take to load okay. =x
Thanks all and love all once again! :D

and it is my 21st....
To be frank, I didn't really get a very strong sense of being a birthday girl. And I am dying to blog in Chinese, but for the sake of Ophira Long Jie Ling I shall keep to English. Pfffft.
So, what has happened in my life for the past year? There's been some ups and downs, as it has been for every other living person. But I would like to think that I've been majorly transformed, somehow. :D
I took some time to read through all my blog posts in 2008, one by one, and took time to reflect on a lot of things. I guess the first major big change for me was to lose a few people that I truly loved with all my heart. This was both a sad and good thing. While it was hell of a hard time to get through at that period in time, I also managed to learn a lot out of it, and become stronger at the end of the day.
The second major change was, of course, a hitherto unseen dedication towards Audition. More than playing the game, I also made and lost many friends from this online game. Some might think that it's just an online game, but I'm glad and proud to say that my friends and I have, together, established an online community within this online game and even brought it out to real life. Bekah commented that I seemed a lot happier because of my new friends from Audition, and it is true. Out of the loneliness after Heng left Singapore last year, I turned to Audition, and thank goodness I did that. I would have been that pessimistic and overly-emotional old me if I hadn't found these friends. =)
The third big issue, I think, would be the beginning of my unhappiness towards school. While learning is meaningful, schooling life at NUS seems to be hardly the same case. However, I had managed to clinch my first A+ (I'm hoping it won't be the last and only) and I survived the semester juggling both my school and my part-time job. So, I guess it's another level gained for me. Since I'm going to be burying myself in debt, I might as well make the best out of it and learn as much as I can. Furthermore, History is something I can really find passion for. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to find non-elitist people to befriend. I hope.
The biggest change is my overall optimism. Never in my life as a teenager and young adult have I been as optimistic as the past few months, and while there are always nitty gritties in life that you can't agree with, that seem to spoil everything from the roots, generally I have been rather happy for the later part of 2008. This is a great change! I finally felt like I've been making progress through all this and I can finally not worry about making people around me upset or worried just because I am unhappy.
I am 21 years old now, officially, and I don't feel as if there is going to be a very drastic change in my life just because of that. However, I am going to keep up with maintaining this general sense of happiness and trying my best to bring about more happiness to my beloved friends. Most importantly, I must continue to be me, a better me. This is my life, this is my story, and since I am given the choice, then I will strive to make my world a better world, at least for my friends and I.
And now, time for thanksgiving. ^___^ (I will only do this to people who actually read my blog, so don't be surprised just because I didn't include PX and WH)
First, I would like to thank the two most important people I've befriended this year, who have been through thick and thin with me despite the fact that we haven't known each other for as long as you'd think. As you might have guessed, they are my closest friends from Audition.
O P H I R A
Hi again Long Jie Ling. Hahahahahaha. I've been thinking about what we've been through and I must say that having you in my life has been a blessing to me. Not just for all the good times we had together, but also for all the times you spoke up for me, for all the times you stood by me, for all the times you trusted me, and for all the times you were unhappy with me. I still remember how we "argued" and you told me straight in the face what some of my problems were. People like you are hard to come by and I know that you're a valuable asset to anyone who knows you and treasure you.
Thinking back, I wouldn't have been able to overcome my loss of Heng and his sister if not for your encouragement. And it's always nice to know that someone is keeping track of my current "senile level". While we both can be complete asses and bitches, but no doubt we will continue enjoying (and hating) each other's company for the many years ahead. Thank you for everything and I love you lots. :)
P/S : I hope I'm not the only one who remembers our sushi date in February, hahahaha. I'm really looking forward to it. :D

*bwg*
*waves goodbye*
LOL no la no la. Dearest dearie ( =___=a) / 1BB / idiot / james / magikarp / fellow peek-behind-the-wall spy!! (wall) .o
Hmmm what can I say? You're another one of those people whom I cannot stand NOT bullying. But beneath the facade of all that teasing, I'm really glad that you see me as a close friend of yours. (Please tell me again that you are closer to me than you are to Chua Jing Bin. Die die cannot let him haolian about this)
I am still very touched by what you did for me. In case you don't know what I'm referring to, I'm talking about how you knew that I was emoing about PX and you took the initiative to seek her out and contact her for my sake. I guess I should also be thankful that you didn't end up hating me for the extreme amount of preaching I always end up doing to you. And also thank you for believing in me and I always enjoy the times we spend together, be it in real life or online. You always manage to cheer me up with those silly jokes. =x
Thank you lots and I love you lots, too. :)
Next up are for my beloved friends!! :D
B E K A H
Hi qingren. I'm the second one in the clique to join you in the 21-year-old club. I still don't feel much other than exhaustion, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow. As usual, thank you for so many things. I've been saying the same old stuff for so many years now that I feel a bit embarrassed for the lack of creativity. =x
But anyways. You totally know how I feel. Just one last thing: Together, we can always transform winter into spring. (:
X I A N
Dear Xian'er. Thanks for always being there. I still remembered how, in the beginning of last year, I was always emoing to you, crying to you, etc. on the phone, and how you were so worried. Thank you so much. I'm sorry that I've been rather unresponsive especially when people sms me, but I've been trying my best to be more efficient about replying. I'm sure that you know that I love you lots, but I'll just say it out again -- I LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS!! You're a very very very very valuable friend to me and I enjoy your company sooo much. I love you to bits!!! And knowing how you're such an attention-seeker, here I shall say it again -- I LOVE YOU YI XIAN!!!!! :D
Life's great knowing that you will always be there for me and here with me in my heart. You rock, girl. Have more confidence in yourself! I have faith in you that you will achieve more than great things. And you have all the love you need from us! Let's go overseas together for a trip. The only place we've been to together was Genting and we weren't even close friends back then. (:
R E N N Y
Babe, I know I've only been nothing but trouble for you. :< (this is an unhappy smiley face, btw. Oh, and how ironic that a smiley face can be unhappy.....)
But I'm thankful all the same. Last year, when I was thrown out of the house, you were the first one to offer lodging to me immediately. And if not for your company that night, I can't imagine what I could have done. I rarely have a complete breakdown like that, and you were the one who was beside me hugging me and listening to me pouring out my woes. I always thought that you were close to a saint, always willing to help, always kind-hearted, and rarely with a bad mood (I know, school spoils it all). You showed me the importance of having the courage to pursue your own dreams and passion, and I don't mind that you're a so-called "passive-friend".
You told me that I was lucky because I'm the one who is close to every single person in our clique, but really, I'm lucky because I have friends like you guys. Now that I've worked myself up again, the sadness of the past rarely haunts me. Nostalgia and a hint of regret, maybe, but I won't do all the stupid things I did, not again. And this happier me wouldn't have come about without your support. Thank you so much. I'd be dead embarrassed to say it to your face, but thank you, and I love you lots, and you're an awesome friend to have. :DDDD
J I N G C H U A N
*coughs* Hey Daughtie. Your mama has now officially spent 21 years on earth. Let's continue being weird because it sucks to be normal earthlings.
Okay okay what I meant was that it is difficult to find friends like you. While we might not share the same view on many things, somehow we can always understand where each other is coming from. And it's touching to know that you would never mind taking me in even though my snoring (distorted breathing?) makes sleeping way more than tough for you. Hahahaha.
Although you may be the "lurker" around the place, what I can say is that you rock, because I know that you're always there and we can always be anti-social together. I always think that I'm asking you for help at your inconvenience, which is a really horrible thing. (And I've been trying my best to cut down on that) BUT anyways, I'm proud to be one of the few "privileged" people to have been to your messy room... er, I mean, cosy home. At the same time, I just want to let you know that you have been a great friend to me all these years, and may we continue our atrocities on earth together for the remainder of our visit in the human world. Wakakakaka love you lots daughtie. :D
M I C H E L L E
Yes Michelle, I was kind enough not to forget to include you. Ouch. I shouldn't be so mean. And yes, I am very very touched because you rang me up to wish me happy birthday the moment you were free after all your activities. Thank you so so so so much dear. Thank you for seeing me as a close friend of yours and thank you for your company.
I always think that you're a great great girl. You have not only brains that are good for thinking and studying, but also a very very big heart. Thank you for always respecting me and taking in my advices, and seeing me as a listener. Thank you for also listening to my share of problems, constantly being concerned about my well-being, and always making the effort to meet up with me when we are both free.
Fret not about presents and whatnot. What mattered the most to me was having you call me at 1250am just to wish me happy birthday despite how busy you have been for the entire night. Thank you so much. <3333333333333333
L I N G
Girl ah, can you stop finding so much things to occupy yourself? We live so near to each other yet you're so busy I don't even dare to ask you out! Yet, I know that at the end of a "peak season", you'll always update me on what has been going on with your life, blah blah blah. And I can't believe you prepared the presents for the January babies so much in advance. That's really very thoughtful for you. Especially for Bekah's totally original organizer!! (I'm still waiting for mine, hahahahhaha joking la!)
Although you always seem to "like new hate old", but I know that the clique has a special place in your heart, as it does for all the rest of us. And you're a very loyal friend. Despite how you always say that you have no idea how to console people when they are crying, emotional, blah blah blah, I know that you're still very concerned about all of us. Which is why I haven't strangled you yet. Hahaha, no la, I know that if I were to come crying to you you would still take me in and hug and kiss me. (Which reminds me, you and renny kissed me in sec 4. omg. =.=)
Anyways, I really missed those times we would go back home from st nicks together, and sometimes even head for school together. Now, you can drive us around and we can enjoy getting lost in Singapore and taking wrong turns after wrong turns. What a nightmare. Hahahaha. Love you, take care and don't tire yourself too much. Serve me a Lingyi's update soon!
And with that, I finally end off this long long long loooooong post. Sorry for being long-winded. :D AND!!! I will post pictures up soon! Just took a good number of pictures today. Looking forward to celebration with the clique tomorrow!! <333333333333333

The only thing that interests me about this movie is the very last part of this trailer. For people who want to know what I'm talking about, it starts from around the 2nd minute of this video.
HILARIOUSSSSSS LOLLLL~

Major Update~
Finally a detailed post!! Loooong post ahead :D
First off, I need to reply some people =)
To Astral / Joé:
Hey silleh baby <333 I see that your entire blog is dedicated to me, thanks so much, I'm so touched =) And of course I would be willing to teach you how to go about changing to a nice blogskin :D
I've been busy with work and we don't have that much time to talk, but thanks so much for your well wishes. I love you lots~ I'm glad you got what you wanted and needed for your Christmas (promise me you won't chunk the simpsons shorts away, okay?)
Enjoy your cheese and enjoy being mean to your cute little sweetheart, alright? But don't forget about your Moo, of course :D I'm welcoming those astral huggles, so keep them coming! <333
To Ophira LONG:
Being senile old me, I only just saw your blog post. D:
Kekeke yeah we didn't really start off being great friends from the start but I guess that adds a lot to our friendship. :) Having close online friends is not a bad thing at all. I'm glad we share the same thoughts on many things, and let's not let differences in our opinions hinder our getting along. I'll be looking forward to that sushi treat in Feb!! :DDDDD
iie lurbe euu twit master <####
*meditates and emits holy aura. LOL!!!!*
Okies done with the replies. I shall have my own version of thanksgiving somewhere around my birthday. Will think of what to say to each of the important people in my life ^__^
So, now, I'll be going backwards to talk about what I've been doing. :D Last night, as I already blogged, I went for the 五月天新歌飙唱会, which was actually composed of more old songs and new songs and totally rocked my night. :D Mayday's live gigs are simply the best, and although they didn't perform so many of those songs I wanted to hear (which is actually all their songs =x), it was superb. Awesome. Smashing!
I wanna do this over and over. As Mayday performed songs on friendship, I would hold Wen Han's hand and we'll sing together, and give each other a warm hug. =) Not to mention, it was many of Mayday's songs which brought me through tough times. Their music helped me tide through periods of self-doubt and loneliness. I'm really so thankful for them, for creating such wonderful music. =) Sadly, no pictures from last night cos we were too high to remember to take photos. MAYDAY ROCKS! <3333
Saturday morning was spent with my qingren celebrating her 21st. We ended up youtubing. And blogger ****ing distorted my blog post so my original words are now gone. &(*#$(^$% My point is: Bekah I love you and I'll be waiting for your love letter :D
New Year's Eve!!! We spent it at Renny's place. Watched Little Nonya and cursed all the asses together. Hahahaha. The January babies also got our early birthday gifts from Ling. Wheeee my first ever truly branded bag!
Pictures taken at Renny's place :D
Ling and I
Si Xian and I :D
Mini-mandarin oranges!! Renny's mum peeled them for us. So sweet =)
Remnants of the cake. We were also celebrating Renny's Chinese birthday early. ^__^
Super cute cheese tarts that Ang Chor bought. :DDDDD
Xian'er and I <333
Xian'er and I again <3333
My life has been so packed lately. Work, going out, Mayday, work, going out, etc etc. But I've been so happy. This year is off to a smashing start. :D
Love alllllllllllllllllllllllll <33333333333333333333333333333333333333
