Alright, this is the much overdue post from my birthday! (:
My birthday week was rather eventful, in fact I don't recall being so happening before this entire semester! Still in a bit of a woozy because I ended only last week (So Angerz) but oh well.
I remember watching truckloads of chick flicks over the weekend (The Proposal, The Notebook, Confessions of a Shopholic, Music and Lyrics) to make up for lost time. Friday was a trip with Jason! To the hatched outlet which he has been endlessly raving about since god knows when and practically booked me a sem in advance so I couldn't pangseh hahaha. I love the food <3 EGG HEAVEN! Had the birds' nest - which came with 2 sunny sides, grilled veggies, potatoes and caramellised onions! I was in Egg Mecca :D And we had island creamery after! My gosh it's been so long since I've been there! Really liked my foodie outing.

Some thing that happened during the birthday week:
1) Alot of surprises and double crossing! My gosh I am too gullible hahaha.
Monday I decided to go to to the doc to get my back checked. It's so paiseh to tell people that it's mugging-induced > sports injury. Anyway fyi, it's really important to stretch your back once in a while when you're seated. I learnt it the hard way.
Afternoon was the lunch with the Arts Comm! (: We met up to celebrate Jells' 21st so Ash planned this supercool elaborate surprise which had us stationed along marina square. Of course we didn't expect her to lose her way and I guess I kinda spoilt it because she accidentally saw me ): And I was double crossed! Wth! Hahaha imagine coming down an escalator to see them with a birthday cake, too sweet too sweet (:

And the night was equally eventful! Hahaha ~~stupid~~ Joel conned me I swear I didn't even see it coming- all the fake anger that I was late, making me walk several miles up and down the houses because he was 'lost', meeting Guin and Ernest along the way, and finally making our way to Fat Boys. My gosh I am so terribly oblivious (a little dense for a girl!) I didn't even know everyone was seated inside until I was shoved in hahaha.
Thanks for the surprise dearies! (: V v touched by all the effort put in to make it special, even ppl like Mama who had to book back in right after dinner - I feel the love <3 <3 <3 Felt very grateful for that night company and dinner and the accompanied walk back to the train. Love love!

Tuesday.
Carolling! With the girls (JLC<3) at QOP (my gosh all the way in the East!) and we were la-la-la-ing which made us super exhausted and hungry! Went to Clarke Quay (indians were on time yeah man) with the law students and random engineer to try mussels and beer!
Btw it was my first virginal experience trying museels, and I must say it was rather nice! Was expecting a really overpowering seafood, icky taste but it was cooked in this delish cream based thingy with veggies so it tasted NICE (:

Wednesday.
My real birthday! Haha I met Kathy to watch Rapunzel which was such an endearingly light-hearted film, very entertaining to watch and touching at some parts too! (: Oh I didn't tell her it was my birthday so it was quite amusing haha plus the fact that she is currently disconnected from any social media makes her completely oblivious. Wonder what's her reaction gonna be when Dre brings it up at our lunchdate.

Thursday-Saturday.
CSS Retreat! Was not really all hyped up about it because of my back which was achy (and the thought of having to sleep on the floor) but still went with Becks for mass first day! I think Retreat was slow-paced and relaxed, which suited me. But it was also the first time when I wasn't actively involved in it, merely a partcipant and it made me very itchy inside. The gnawing feeling when you have zero responsibilities other than to turn up on time and clear your food containers. Haha.
Made some new friends and met the freshies whom I've been evading for an entire sem! It's nice to know that the young bloods are so full of life and wanting to serve our community. Recon was good for me too, although of course sitting during Ado is always a painfully emotional experience for me (I am recalling what D from Fuel used to say about it being radioactive: you can't see it, only feel it). Food was great! I mean, considering camp conditions. Much much better than advent last year.
Left camp feeling under the weather, and after a power nap of 3 hours, woke up to a scratchy throat, terrible skin and dehydration.
BAH, unnecessary consequences of camp.
Now to get better soon so that I don't lose my voice for carolling!
I am trying to shut off Daryl's voice at the back of my head which is reminding me to start reading my lit texts for next semester hahaha ):

Till then,
xoxo.
