Feeling dumb & only dumber as the years go by.

How could I have made such bad decisions & choices?

多年的等待你知道为了谁.
闭上我的眼, 你的容颜仍能让我如此般的醉.

Whoa. In the blink of the eye, I am officially 25 years old now. (Though this post is posted a few days later than the actual day, but you get the point, don't you?)

So much has happened. I've gotten a laptop last Saturday, 21 Feb 2009. My first ever lappy died an honourable death. Not that it really died, but a virus or soem thing rendered it helpless and useless. I think it must be some thing that I downloaded.

Oppz.

I was sleeping while my laptop was in trouble. By the time I woke up, the laptop was unresponsive so I restarted the laptop. And that is where the problems started. Dialogue boxes started popping up, informing that this programme & that programme was unable to be executed and had to be terminated. Bleah. Somehow, in the midst of closing the dialogue boxes, my laptop 'hung' again. It was the same thing with the dialogue boxes when I finally managed to restart the laptop. Before that, it went through a series of booting and auto re-booting in the midst of powering up. The above-mentioned occured plenty of times before I finally gave up and decided to get a new laptop pronto.

Thank God that I was meeting Jimmy that evening to celebrate my birthday. When he asked where to go for dinner, I told him that anywhere was fine, as long as that place has Harvey Norman so that I can purchase a new laptop.

Dinner was a rushed affair for us as Jimmy thought that Harvey Norman closes at 9.30pm. We practically gobbled down our food at the Dian Xiao Er (Marina Square). It would not have been so rushed if we weren't caught in the usual dinner crowd timing and had to wait for at least a good 30 minutes or more. Jimmy actually went up to the supervisor or manager to tell them that we were in a hurry. Bleah. We were the next number in the queue, but had waited for quite some time before he got anxious and went to talk to the staff.

Anyway, it was a good dinner. We had stirred fried prawns with oats, kai lan, hong kong style steamed fish, roasted duck with angelica herbs and soup, finished off with a bowl of rice each. (I gave 3/4 of my rice to Jimmy. Hahaha...After dinner, he was complaining that he wanted to throw up. He ate most of the prawns as I wasn't too keen to use my hands to peel away the shells, thus I ate very little of them. And the additional rice that I shoved to him didn't help either. Oppz.)

I think, by the end of the meal, I am 70% full, while he is 110% full.

LOL.

Anyway, it was a happy dinner that Saturday, for most part. He made a cheesecake for me. ANd I have to say that his cheesecake is great. Really very good. Taste wise, it puts to shame some of the cheesecake that I had eaten in cafes and restaurants. Hmm..I should ask him to make me different flavours next time.

Yay.

Sunday was spent at home lazing around, surfing Net and sleeping off the time that I had spent awake on Saturday night (or was it Sunday morning? I think I went to bed after 3.30am) to configure my laptop and trying to get the new laptop to detect my internet modem. I had planned to do my school assignment on Sunday and had even bailed out on Angeline's plans for my birthday (I am very, very sorry!!!) but sadly I was sick (and still am). It was hard to concentrate with a stuffy nose and heavy eyelids.

(And guess what? I have still yet to do that said assignment! And it is due this Friday, 12pm.) I am such a 'genius', right?

I went to work as usual on Monday, even though my normal practice would be to take leave but there is really a lot of work this year thus I can't afford that luxury. Work was alright and some people had comments about my attire that day. One said I looked cute. Haha. (So happy) But I was thinking, looking cute at 25, may not be that positive a thing. Haha....but nevertheless, I see that as a compliment! Another had said that I look especially pretty that day and being me, I can't help but asked, "Don't I look pretty everyday??"

LOL.

All in good fun.

I left my office a little past 6pm and went down to my friends' work place. Turns out they had a nice surprise waiting for me. As I was carrying a rather sizeable blue box (present from Joling, Rachel, Samuel, Tan, Thio & Lai) and 2 small paper bags, I had wanted to put the box on the half empty table at the back of the room. But Rachel said I can't and as I was asking why, the lights went out (OMG!!) and Joling walked out of Samuel's office with a cake and him sticking his head out of his room and every one started to sing the birthday song. I was really taken by surprise and am very touched. (Thank you Joling!!!) After they finished singing, they continued with the Mandarin version. I think Cheong, Joling and Samuel sang the loudest, couldn't hear the rest of them sing (may be their voices were drowned out?? Hahaha), as they were standing a tad far away. LOL.

It had been one of the nicest thing that anyone had ever done for me. And it was one of the best birthday of my 25 years. Thanks very much to Joling for all her efforts and coordination. And thanks loads to Rachel, Samuel, Tan, Lai, Thio, Cheong, Uncle Richard & Chye Lian for the cake and the presents. The cake is a tall layered chocolate cake from Secret Recipe, full and flavourful though perhaps a tad too sweet. But, nevertheless, rather yummy!

Let's see..I received 2 bags [1 from Joling & 1 neko (cat) bag from Thio], a shawl, a top & a Swatch watch from Rachel, 2 pairs of lovely earrings from Joling, a dress from Samuel, a bracelet from Alvin (not that Alvin from poly. He is my elder brother-in name from work), a pretty Baby-G in white and a sweet heart-shaped pen holder from Andrew (Joling's brother). That is all for now, as I have yet to open the blue parcel that they had given me. And there will be some more coming from Jimmy, Angeline and Ronny (you better remember, Ronny!!!).

Yay......

I am really, really, really tired. Physically, mostly.

Been staying up till around 3am for most of last week and part of this week. Last week was spent watching the HK's big production - 珠光寶氣 (The Gem of Life). This week's late nights was spent rushing out the TMA 01 for SSC 101e.

I am really tired.

Am fighting to keep my eyes open while typing these words.

Played badminton with some friends last night at Jurong West Sports Hall.
