Warmest Thank Yous To All~!

Morning peepz! Will hop on the bus to be back to the cruel reality world of Cyberjaya soon around mid-noon. But before that, I'd like to take this little time I have to say a huge THANK YOU! to all who remembered and wished me all day thru yesterday! =)

You guys are the reason I went to bed and woke up smiling!

Thank you Daddy, Mummy, Bro, Sis and Bii! Thanks for your presence and presents. Love!

Thank you, early-wishers! Thank you to each and every heart-felt wishing on Facebook! It doesn't matter even if it's a belated one. It's the heart that counts, right! Facebook is the way of life huh now? Hehe. Love!

Ohhh, I really wanted to mention all your names here, each and everyone of you. But there's just too many. Again, it's the heart that counts right? Right! Haha. I promise I thanked you personally on FB though. Love!

Oh and then p/s, even Barn Buddy sent me a virtual cake to celebrate. Haha, how sweet. Love!

Then there's the warm SMS-es. Glad to see some still stick to this mode of communication. Hehe. Thank you all~! Even my dental clinic wished me. That is so sweet! See why I entrust my teeth only to them? Hehe. Love!

Thank you, Rashad, for forgetting. Haha! I know who reminded you. Thank you for calling, Shad and Regina! Very, very sweet of you both. And yes Shad, I saw what you wrote on your MSN status message as well. Thank you! Love!

Goodness, I love birthdays. Haha. Not only my own, but all birthdays! =) No matter what I made myself think in the last year, I love birthdays! How could I be fooled by my own?

Now, I'm gonna wanna spend more time offline. I'm gonna miss home. *sobz*

Happy Birthday, eLaiNe~!

Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday to me, me!!

Happy birthday to me!

I love the day! Wow-wee! And Sis came back just in time before 12 to join in another round of cake-blowing ceremony for me. Love!

My babe, he bought me an ice-cream cake I've always craved for. Specifically the one that I had been keeping my drool for. *drools* So sweet of him! Love!

Here's a peek. Update tomorrow when I've uploaded the rest of the pictures from the phone. Love!

The first round was on Sunday when Sis bought me a cake in advance when she doubted that she could be back early from work to celebrate with me. Well, she was right. But it doesn't matter anyway. What really matters is her love. How sweet. Love!

Check out the cute cake I got! Yummy. I insisted on a cute one. ^^ Thanks, Sis. Love ya! So great that she got me our fav cake, the chocolate cake! Love!

Yesterday he took me out for a movie, but there isn't much choice. So we settled for this. All because I saw these names in the cast line-up: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and the not-to-be-forgotten Heath Ledger.

We were super tired when we got to the cinema, sleepy and all, thanks to waking up early that morning. And then the twisty fantastical storyline doesn't help make relaxing easy for us either. Well, it wasn't a bad movie anyway. It's just that I'd need another time watching it before I can tell what happened at the end of it. *frowns*

When it's officially 6th January, birthday wishes kept pouring in. Love! I went to bed smiling yesternight. And I woke up early this morning with yet a smile upon my face! I wondered if I smiled in my sleep the whole night thru. Haha! Love, love, love!

Guess what I had for breakfast. =)

Specially for me. Mummy gave me two eggs while everyone else had only one. I feel pampered! *laughs* Love!

We went out awhile after that. Chilling around Queensbay mall. I didn't even have the mood to shop, but I'm enjoying every bit of it. He took me to have a little snack [since we had late brunch]. Our favourite! Our loves! Haagen Dazs. ^^v

It's some dessert which I have forgotten its name. But I'd believe it's something named Brownie Explosion. Haha! Explosion it is alright. It was so full of chocolate, I felt so even more fuller at the end of it. Yet, it's still a L-O-V-E! Worth every single penny paid. =)

Next stop, the arcade! It's been quite some time since I last played these. Love! And I beat him in Daytona! Fuh! *proud* Though I wasn't that good being Rambo, I fared pretty awesome. Don't mess with the 23-year-old. *laughs*

For dinner, the treat is on Daddy. And all I wanted is Western food. If I wanted Chinese on this day, I'd ask my Mummy to cook for me. Nothing beats my Mummy's cooking. And then again, nothing also beats a cheap Western food for a birthday dinner. Love!

Oh my God. I'm so excited just talking about my day. I don't even feel like a 23 year old now. Haha! Such a kid that I am. Nobody can stop me from feeling so. ^^ Look at my entry, I couldn't even blog with perfect lines of words. Everything is all about love. And in love, I am!

I love you, Daddy!

I love you, Mummy!

I love you, my Brother!

I love you, my Sister!

And I so love you, Dear Bii!

Thank you all for everything. For the great day. For the happy memories I cherish. For the sweetest time to start my year with.

Had I not mention how much I appreciate how you guys made me who I am today? =) Well, you know now. Love, love, love you all. *hugs and kisses*

I guess the only difficult and un-fun thing I had to do today was to purchase the bus ticket back to Kay-El tomorrow. I am reluctant! But I had to. I am, afterall, grown up. Ain't I? LOL~!

Happy 22nd To Me!

And so another year gone, another birthday celebrated. Another day of receiving greetings for getting old. Oh, the irony! =p

In the midst of studying and in the midst of all that stress, I still managed to have a blast last night. But I have to say, I didn't expect the turnout.
Thank you all so so much for making it to my house for that big surprise despite exam the very next morning to the Nanotech Gkai and Karen and paper in the afternoon for Juin Hau, and exams on the following day for the rest of you! Love ya all loads!

I thought I knew a surprise was coming along, but credits had to be given to Chee Wei and Yamunah. Okay, so according to my watch you guys weren't exactly on time when midnight strikes. *sobz* [It did made me wonder you know.. =( Hehehe.]
Gosh~! Yam, you're such a drama queen! *ahakz* For a moment there, I did believe that the electricity was shorted, or cut, or whatever. Bottomline, blackout. I did believe it was your "Yamunah's touch". Haha!
For you Chee Wei, good one on the empty cake box. Probably next time you'd like to fill it up with something heavy so it wouldn't seemed so erm...empty? Haha~!

30 Minutes To 22.

Gosh~!

Rasa Sayang Dinner Buffet.

As initially planned and as a treat for me being 'old', I was brought here for a little enjoyment.
Though my family were supposed to dine together tonight, my parents had declined to join considering that they aren't exactly the biggest fans of the buffet concept.
Understanding them well enough, it's best that we leave it that way. :\

You know, since Rasa Sayang Resort's huge renovation project and then it's grand re-opening in 2006, this is the first time I'm there again.
Being in the resort again definitely brings back lotsa good ol' memories. Childhood memories.
However, the feeling is somehow different. Somehow Rasa Sayang isn't quite as 'homey' as it used to be.

Well, my Dad used to work in the old Rasa Sayang.
Story is, we used to get complimentary stays in the resort. Being a child, I was always excited about this, even if it's only for a night over the weekend.
And it is something that I loved to brag about too. Can't blame a kid, can you? =p
Air conditioning, carbonated drinks, swimming pool, etc.
Those were pretty appealing to me back then. :">

Funnily enough though, the thing I enjoyed most about those stays was the fact that it is where my Dad works. Even more, I enjoyed meeting the people my Dad works with. ><
So I guess it's somehow the little child in me feeling that the old staffs were friendlier. Reminiscing the good old 'pals'.
Probably it's because the old 'pals' were my Dad's colleagues, and the fact that they know me.
Haha.

Anyway, the luxury is even more luxurious today. Being the only 6-stars hotel in Malaysia, it definitely is obviously awesome!
And the staffs are pretty serious about the rules, too. ;)
I was really excited about the dinner buffet.
But perhaps I had made early comparisons with Jogoya in Starhill, Kuala Lumpur. ><
I'm not exactly writing a food critic's review here in my blog.
But personally, I do still love the food served.

First, we started with the appetizers. We started light.
Nevertheless, the seafood served at the same counter was really tempting. The lobsters and the oysters were especially alluring.
Mm mmm. I can't still taste the freshness of the seafood in my mouth right now. [Exaggerative? Yeah =p ]

My personal most favourited dish is definitely the lamb satay. It is so de-li-cious that I couldn't help but go for second and third helpings. *drools*
My Sister on the other hand loved the lobsters and the sashimi the most.
And the tiramisu. [Coffee freak, she is. Hehe.]

After attacking the main course, it's time for yummy-yummy dessert. The whole display desserts is so beautiful that I wanted to keep one of each kind. ^^
Heading to the ice-cream counter, I was pretty disappointed again as I was kinda expecting to see Haagen Dazs ice-cream, and a whole wide range of flavours to choose from indeed.
Imagine the slump I felt when I saw the only 4 different flavours served [namely: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and coffee.]
Pardon me, but I was really looking forward to dive in to the super-yummy-tummy ice-cream.
But, the wish of the kid in me was not fulfilled.

The best thing I've always relate Rasa Sayang with are the cakes. Chocolate cakes, especially. *drools*
However, this time, I was quite reluctant to 'dig in' to the cakes served at the counter.
Main reason being the cakes not cut nicely and are kinda like melting.
At first glance, one may think that those are ice-cream cakes. Hehe, no, it is not.
Undeniably though that the cakes are really delightful, but I'm still not quite keen about taking and putting it onto my plate.
So, I stole them bit by bit from my Sister's plate instead. Hehe. ^^

Overall, it was still a great dinner of course. Beautiful environment and fantastic food.
What more can I say? We stil left the place bloated. Haha.

A huge thank you to my sister and her friend for this wonderful treat. *winks*
