Dear diary,

I remember I used to attend Latin classes on Tuesdays. And I’m always excited about it. But now my life seems a bit different.

On Tuesday after work, I attended X-Men Origins Wolverine Premier Screening @ Mid Valley together with Nic, Vernice & Yee Hou.

This movie about mutants was great! The twists in the storyline were impressive in a way. It’s the kind of movie whereby…towards the end of it, you wouldn’t forget the forgotten.

As you adopt new info towards the end, you’re encouraged to recall the hints dropped along-way. It gives you the “mysteries-solved” sense of fullfillment.

And oh, I particularly like the love story between Logan and Kayla! I think it’s beautiful!

Okays, enough of spoilers, I don’t want to spoil this for you.

But I really think it’s a good movie to catch during the weekends!

Dear diary,

It was a Sunday, I decided that it should be a shopping day. Hence, went to Pavilion with my aunt Debbie!

Had lunch in Kampachi. Typical Grilled Salmon, boring!

Am not very adventurous to try out their Sashimi. Deb ordered Chirasi though, I tried some of it, it’s good!

Since the handles of my bag were broken and I don’t have $ to buy a new bag, aunt deb was kind enough to let me pick a bag as my 21st pressie.

Went into various stores like Marc Jacobs, Tangs, Guess, Parkson, MNG, Bimbo and Lola etc etc. Can’t see anything that I really like! Why aren’t there good stuff around! Or perhaps I’m too picky!

As we started to get a little impatient, we spotted this store called La Pagayo. It’s nothing fancy like Juicy Couture; nothing extravagant like Chanel, but still, we decided to take a round.

Then this black bag caught my eye ; medium size; waterproof surface; with some dangling stuff.

In fact, it’s not the kind of bag that would draw forth the “WOW” reaction at first glance. It’s more to the simple & practical design, something for everyday use (but still classy in a way).

That was when I decided this should be the one.

the 699 bag.

Thank you very much aunt debbie ! *HUGS*

The night before, a dear friend treated me my birthday dinner @ Tony Roma’s. The beef ribs taste quite good!

I’m very grateful that there’re great people around me that made my 21st birthday a very memorable one…Words can’t describe how thankful I am!

Dear diary,

On 20th April, Nuffies bought me my birthday dinner in Sans Francisco Steakhouse, KLCC!

Robb, Yee Hou, Vernice, Nic, Penton, Tim & Me
Thanks Robb for the picture!

Throughout the day, they kept talking about bringing me to this duck place for dinner! And talked about playing CS after dinner! They talked about it so much that I thought it was0 real!

A bunch of joksters! haha, glad we ended up in Sans Frans instead!

Thank you very much! “The steak is freaking good!”

Dear diary,

It’s 22nd April!
-A reason to celebrate – my blog’s anniversary, Earth Day and last but not least, My Birthday.

I started this blog 2 years ago, my first post was about my 19th birthday. Then after a while I turned 20. Time flies and now I am officially 21! I didn’t really plan much for it. All I did was named my blog after my birthdate and added a countdown widget to my sidebar.

On 22nd April, I reached the office 10am-ish. Was supposed to go on birthday leave (in Nuffnang – if your birthday falls on a weekday, you get a day off.) But, i simply have too much work that I’ve to skip my birthday leave, so boss tim said I can come in to the office a bit later.

As usual, I walked to my table and guess what ????????

This is what I saw!

I remember my reaction was: screaming – laughing – screaming. I felt very amazed and surprised because I didn’t expect today to be like this at all. I thought it’s just a normal workday that the whole world would forget about my birthday!

Then tim and robb started to snap pictures of me being in the state of excessive exhilaration.

Was very happy too see bouquet of flowers, chocolates, birthday notes and …. a pink bra (the size a bit too small though.lol.) ! btw, the pink bra is from Yee Hou and Nicholas!! TQ very much! I wonder how does it feels like for 2 guys to go buy a pink bra?

That whole day I smell flowers – feels very very good! it doesn’t seem like a workday at all.

One is from Huai Bin and the other is from “Secret Admirer”.

Thank you very much huai bin!! The Godiva truffles taste like heaven!

Thank you very much to secret admirer too!

The flowers are beautiful!

And after reading my birthday coverage from here, here and here, I bet you guys are waiting for me to reveal who’s this secretive guy right! (could be a girl, who knows)

Yee Hou assumed that I bought the flowers myself, the others in the office assumed that it’s my mom! T_T

Hmmph, i love to imagine that the secret admirer is a guy!

Still can’t figure who’s the secret admirer though – but here are 5 facts I perceived about him:

1. He is a guy – just tell me he is!
2. He knows me pretty well – because the roses are pink, there’re 21 of them. i.e. he knows I like pink; he knows i’m turning 21.
3. He has a job. If not how to afford flowers like that.
4. He reads my blog – since he knows where i work!
5. He loves daisies!

Looks like the above-mentioned are very general facts huh! Will find out who’s he and update you along the way!

For the rest of my day….

12:30 pm
Met up with clients for lunch at Jarrod & Rawlins, together with tim and nic.

The steak is freakkkiing good!!

2pm
Back to work – swamped.

4pm
Still swamped – but got birthday wishes here and there (sms/msn) that cheered me up!

8pm onwards
Supposed to go for birthday dinner with friends @ Jarrod & Rawlins Cap Square – but since I just went in the afternoon – hence, change plans to Garden Lifestyle Cafe @One U.

My babes gave me presents…which makes me think they ‘researched’ me well enough by reading through my blog posts.

Chin Li, EE and Jia Hui gave me pink tech stuff! A pink iPhone casing and pink webcam. They remembered I mentioned I want a pink webcam!

iPhone is now pink!! It’s a damm happy thing!

Me & EE

Jia Hui & Me

They gave me L’Occitane hand cream and fragant touch! And it’s Cherry Blossom! Which I once blogged about it here. TQ very much, I’m very touched!

After a while, they started to do their own stuff!

And to my surprise……..

Love ya all!!!A cake made of durian pancakes!!
So touched that you all read about it from here!

This is quite a nice picture of zjo zjo and myself!

Yuki & Me

Janice & Me

WanYing & Me
Why are all the pics in my camera showing the side profile!!

All in all, I wanna thank everybody for not forgetting my birthday – for wishing me through SMS/MSN/Facebook/Commenting on my blog/Commenting on others’ blog/Phone calls.

You guys have made full use of technology … bravo!

Your wishes made this my best birthday ever! *in tears of joy*

Dear diary,

Today after lunch, Vernice bought me a cupcake! She told me that it’s my birthday cupcake.

Rich chocolate with a red heart.

It brightens my day! Thanks Vernice!

Dear diary,

I’ve always wanted an iPhone! Especially after spending these few months mingling in the internet industry, I wanted it even more. Don’t think that I like pink and so I’m a total noob to tech! I’m fancied by tech a lot if you know me.

There’re a few times that I have the urge to just close my eyes and get it! But I always hold back because it’s not cheap at all (freaking 2k+) and I fear that I would regret! I heard a lot of cool comments about iPhone, but also heard a lot of rants about it.

My desire to acquire an iPhone climbs way high partly because I can’t find another phone that I really like. And also because I’m hunting for something that’s more ‘grownup’ but not with complete absence of the cool fun element! Blackberry could be greeatt but why does it has to have so many buttons on it! I want something simple yet sophisticated! *sweat* so hard to find the right words for it. It’s self-explanatory! Just go play with one and you’ll know what i’m trying to convey here.

On one fine Saturday, I went to the PC Fair @ KLCC, to explore the Maxis iPhone Bundling Plans.

At first, I really think it’s a sucky plan as the call charges are higher than usual. But guess I managed to convince myself that it’s not too bad afterall – regardless of all the iPhone shortages (x forward SMS, x send MMS etc – heard that these features will be available on June though), and the killer bundling charges….I, decided that the iPhone should be mine!

I took 2 days to believe that it’s mine!

There’re 2 colours to choose from – black/ white. Initially, I was tempted to go for the white one, but it’s not entirely white, it’s 2-tone, only the rear is white – the front is black, after staring at it for 15 seconds, I feel that it’s kinda weird, looks like a Tapir! Hence, I opted for the black one.

Just in case you don’t know how a Tapir looks like. See, rear white front black.

Free Belkin Leather Casing. Why is it not pink:(

The day I went home with iPhone, I spent one whole night, loading it with apps. Whacked all the free ones.

Mini Piano

This is a virtual wardrobe!

And also happy now that I can surf the net through my mobile.

Updating my Twitter on the go

It’s one of the greatest things that ever happened to me! Life’s good with iPhone!

Except for the fact that Yee Hou always play Zombie Attack using my phone and likes to talk to himself – “ah, i beat my own highscore”. lol

Quite good a 21st pressie TQ mom & dad.

Dear diary,

On one of the Saturday nights, I was invited to the Revolving Restaurant @ KL Tower for dinner.

Saturday nights are my favourite!

7:30pm

Was overwhelmed because I love city night scenes a lot! If I could afford, I want to stay in a city penthouse.

Filled with excitement, I put on this ‘marilyn monroe‘ inspired dress. Don’t have many dresses to pick from though!

It was a fantastic night – the restaurant has got great ambience! Probably because of the view and the whole revolving mechanism. At first, I fear I would feel dizzy, since I’m the kind of person that would most likely get car-sick. But coming to experience it, the belt moves very very slowly – to a level that you could barely feel the motion!

Before dinner starts, I manged to catch a glimpse of sunset.

We got a table by the glass panes. They lighted the candle for us.

Food wise, it’s buffet style – hence, have to walk around to get our own food.

I like their appetizers the most!

The restaurant is surrounded by the magnificent city night view!

I think their appetizers are even better than their main course!

Took a bit of everything.

Trying very hard to capture the scenery – very challenging as it’s revolving and it’s night – that made photo-snapping relatively harder.

Finally got one that looks ok. Love to take pictures with ‘layers’ (foreground, background)

Candid!
Was browsing through some pics in my digital cam.

The desserts offered are great too!

Thanks loads for the beautiful experience! Truly appreciate!

Dear diary,

This post came so late!

On the other weekend, I attended the Maxis Broadband Music Bash @ Maison.
It’s a party by Nuffnang btw.

It was a blast!!

I wore a black dress – rather simple!

Sat at the registration counter for a while.

Embarassed myself on stage.
Doing the Jai Ho dance.

Took a lot of photos.

Dear diary,

14th March marks the official closure of my uni chapter. Now I could go around and tell the world: “I graduated!”

As early as 7am, I got up and get ready for my convo. I remember I was excited but dazed by the uncertainty of how this whole thing gonna be like.

Soon after reaching the venue, I reunited with my uni mates, heard of how they’ve been here and there, this and that. Instantly filled with reminiscence of my uni-days.

Ah, wish I could rewind time and get back to one of those days where freedom rules! All of a sudden, “The Graduation Song” starts playing in my mind. It sounded like this:

After all the fash of putting on our robes, the ceremony kicked off with a series of monotonous speeches.

Then a series of other scholars (from various courses) receiving their cert.

Finally, it’s my turn to get up there. Was quite nervous and careful not to trip and fall. Was a bit too conscious about my cap, kept worrying that it would fall-off. Was practicing my smile for the camera too. So restless!

I happened to be the first person of my course to receive the cert. After the ceremony, my parents told me that they weren’t paying full attention and nearly missed the whole ‘me-on-stage’ scene!

Oh and I was quite happy to receive the book-prize award. Although there’s no individual acknowledgment during the ceremony, but good thing is I’ve got a cheque. The amount is not enormous but good enough to pay off my phone bills. Btw, I have not bank-in the cheque yet, hope it doesn’t expire anytime soon.

After the ceremony, we gathered to snap pictures (typical!). Could be better if there’s green green grass as backdrop.

I quite like this angle.

We managed to do the ‘throwing-cap’ photo!

One of my favourite photo!
Pics courtesy of Zjo.

My parents were there for me – bouquet of flowers were from them. (Touched!)

10 years from now, I might want to read this entry and smile at the good-vibes of it.

Dear diary,

Do you have any idea how good can this thing be !?!

We usually have Friday lunches in Shanghai Ten. Each time we go there, the team would surely order durian pancakes. I didn’t like durians, and so I never eat the pancakes ever.

But deep down, I’m extremely curious : what the hell is so addictive about these durian pancakes!! They looked orgasmic while chewing on it!

One fine day, I decided to give it a try.

And, holy cow *#@%@$@&@#, it tastes like heaven! So rich, so creamy, so…orgasmic!

The other day when I was in Mid Valley looking for some dessert to munch on, I came across Sweet Talk – which sells durian pancakes too!

It has been a week since my last durian pancake, I was craving for it therefore I quickly bought some.

It was quite good! But still not as good as the ones in Shanghai Ten.

Over lunch the other day, I asked :”how can this thing be so good?” Tim responded: “It’s the cream!”

Hmm, pretty true! Guess what makes durian pancake so good is the cream and the yellow-wrap!
