the party i did not go to

'twas the night of heroes, villians and victims. my evil twin sister poisoned me and caused me to go into a coma for the night. she took over and went for our annual dinner & dance in my place.

evidence of the damage she did:


the girls - evil discipline mistress, injured damsel in distress saved by the fireman, sexy nurse, hot jailbird, naughty student, kinky police woman, and my evil twin sister as the bikerchick prison warden



the boys - hunkydory fireman, mad doctor, sneaky burglar



partners in crime


the mad doctor attending to the mad patient


check out the tattoo.. how bad ass!

clearly, it wasn't me at the d&d. but based on the photos, im sure it was great fun.

platform 9 and 3/4

maybe im slow, but have you realised that they have re-recorded the announcements in the train stations? they now say "if you notice any suspicious persons or articles, please inform our staff or dial 999."

they've also changed the message "the train arriving at platform A terminates at yishun" to "the train arriving at platform A will terminate at yishun". when i first heard it, i thought, ooh they've been playing something that was grammatically incorrect for so long. but then i thought about it and i couldn't decide if either was wrong, or if one was "more correct" than the other.

and i thought about it further, and i realised that if you wanted to be really picky about it, both were incorrect because technically, it isnt the train but the train service that terminates. right? because if the train did indeed terminate, it would be very expensive to run the train service since they'd have to make new trains all the time.

but then again, it wouldn't really make sense to say "the train service that is approaching platform A will terminate at yishun", would it?

two big candles and two small ones

dang. i can no longer claim that im 21 and have people say to me "you're so young!" i wish i could stay young for forever and never grow up. unfortunately, time will continue to tick whether there are batteries in the clock or not.

so on the friday before the birthday, the bunch decided it would be fun to make me go on a scavenger hunt, on my own, while carrying a laptop and wearing three inch heels, all over town, while they happily took the train down to the final destination together and sat there munching on fries and cheese sticks while waiting for me to appear, if i ever did.

meiyan left me an envelope, which was only to be opened at 5:57pm.



following that, i received several other clues via sms that would eventually lead me to blu jazz at haji lane. grrr make me walk so much when i cld have taken the bus straight from the office.











and as much as i grumble now, i was secretly extremely pleasured by the torture i was put through *haha*. thank you alll for the *suspense*, the planning, the surprise and of course, the present. the vintage doctor leather bag i had been eyeing from my last shopping trip. yayeh!!


the next morning, i woke up and found a lovely little surprise waiting downstairs for me!

a gorgeous bouquet of roses


and a giant box filled with giant cupcakes that make you grin along with them!







as much as birthdays are crappy things since they serve as reminders that you're getting older, birthdays are happy things too because people shower you with lots of love (even if they are really just out to reemphasize that you are OLD)!

thank you all for the birthday wishes!
