the past 2 weeks were interesting. the new trimester started, and i still can't view my grades as i failed my maths. i need to sit for the supplementary paper which i hope i can pass.

i've been a good boy as well. i didn't miss any class so far. hehehe... but there's a reason to it. my car was sent to be repainted and i had to follow either my dad's or thye shin's to go to campus or to go home.

this year's birthday was the best i've had in recent years! i got quite a number of presents, and i got to cut 2 cakes!

it started with a phone call from wiyang all the way from germany. couldn't talk longer with him cos i was heading out for a celebration at 12 something am at emerald park. those who were present were lay wei, ching yin, chin chin, chee hui, siew eng, liyen, sau heung, roger, kea loon, zhenjian and weehow. a funny thing happened earlier though. while collecting the cake from the shop, they forgot to ask for candles and a plastic knife. even the shop assistant forgot! so i almost ended up with no candles to blow. luckily liyen managed to buy some candles and we used a steel knife instead.

in the evening i went to the it fair in my campus and bought myself an edifier R401 speakers. thye shin bought an altec lansing vs4121 whereas my cousin lim teck bought a sonic gear blue thunder 2. they weren't much stuff worth buying there because there wasn't any significant price reduction.

the night was spent with lai ching, thye shin, eileen, ee lin, diana, gek suan and jin yew. we had dinner at page one cafe before heading to gula melaka restaurant for a small celebration.

thanks to everyone for making me happy!

SHE was here in melaka again and the four of us (lay wei, ching yin, chin chin and me) went for it. this time it was held at a’famosa resort’s water world and ella was here! also, they were here to promote their latest album as well as signing autographs.

before going to the resort, the girls asked me to stop at a cake shop, apparently to buy my birthday cake. i felt both funny and happy because it seems as though i'm buying my own cake. anyway, they are the ones who chose the cake. they wanted me to choose at first, but i declined and they bought a sesame seed cake in the end.

so off we went to the resort and when we arrived, there were already so many fans in the wave pool, where the stage is just above it. we didn't know that we can actually use all the facilities there since we were given free entrance to the water park. if we knew then we might be bringing extra clothes and take a dip in the pool.

selina, hebe and ella arrived on time to start signing autographs. we lined up for, like, an hour or so before we got our cd inlay signed. it was a nice experience to see them in the flesh from so near. ella was the most sporting one, and even shook our hands. too bad chin chin never got to go on stage because one of the cd inlays were missing. we stayed for a while to watch them perform a few songs and played some games with a few lucky fans, before heading to mahkota parade to loaf around...
