On a Valentine High...

HEH HEH!!! I'M BACK! WOO~


Well, I tried to post an entry last night but stupid Blogger took a long time to direct me to the "New Post" page! Anyways, I'm so glad I can finally blog...been waiting to do this cos 14th Feb was a good day-even "good" is an understatement!


For the record, I felt absolutely,super,duper guilty for not doing anything for Valentine's Day: making cards or small gifts for friends...cos I thought that it wouldn't be that celebrated in school...


I was so wrong.


Upon reaching school, I was flooded with chocolates and sweets from Olivia...and after that she took advantage of my guilt and gave me more to make me feel worse! Anyways, almost everyone in school was distracted. Ms Lee complained about the J1s and their stupid pickup lines ("What's in your eye? The sparkle.") and there were many flowers of all shapes and sizes, real,fake,withered,the works...


But really, I feel so appreciated and touched by all the gestures of love..hahaha! And so, since I can't reciprocate much now, the least I could do is to acknowledge the people who made my day, even though some of them (Well,most actually) may not even be reading this.


A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO:



Olivia for the sweets,chocolates and the cute mini-bottle (and also for the extra tinge of guilt...)


Jillian for the handmade flower

Cuiwen for the Turkish Delight and the card (plus the most reliable and elusive delivery service ever!)

Charlene for the Chocolates

Samantha for your card and Chocolates

Geraldine for the Chocolates

Lizard for the Toblerone

Hanisah for the Dove Chocolate (you're so sweet!)

Sufriena for the nicely-wrapped Ferrero Rocher and Dove Chocolate

Steph Chung for the Chocolate

Mimi for the Candle and Rose

Charlie Brown and Duc for the Rose (after going through so much pains to get it!)

Vivian for the Candle

Marie-anne for the Chocolates

Shannon for the jigsaw puzzle (it really encouraged me a lot! And I'm really honoured!)

Sochenda for the letter and the Dove Chocolate

Henry for the self-baked cookie (not bad!)

Luke for the letter and sweet

Weilin for the Chocolate and Cookies (thanks a lot! a lot of effort!)

and also the people who wished: Zhiyi, Ai Ping, Isebelle,Maggie,Annie,Valerie,Hanh,Hui Jun,Xavier,Ben Sum,Ms Ho...and many more...

And not forgetting those people I forget in the process,just in case....thank you!








As my guilt was so immense, I just had to state out what each person gave so as to give them more recognition and to show them how grateful I am cos I really didn't expect these =)


The chocolates could sustain me for a month!







Today was really good man...hahaha...I just can't describe how I felt. It's like already JC life is starting to become such a bore everyday and this really made me feel better, even though I know that I shouldn't be relying on people to make me feel good all the time cos there's Him (as in God...) But sometimes, when certain people say things they don't usually say, you light up immediately like how Joanne, of all people, complimented me on my hair (OK! Cheap thrill but still...you know...) :P

Favian made Mr Sahlan happy too by giving him a rose ( and a seaweed, I think!). Oh ya! I have to say this! Today was the first time I actually chewed on a rosebud (Yes, a raw one...) and guess who taught me that? Ben Sum! Hahahaha! He was randomly plucking a petal from one of his flowers and he shocked Evatte and me when he suddenly put it in his mouth! Subsequently he offered a petal to us and I was the only one who felt like puking. (Evatte chewed it as if it were potato chips!)

Practice was cancelled,much to some people's delight, due to poor attendance and so I had an early day.

The excitement's not over yet.


At night, the family and I whipped up a storm in the kitchen for The Blob's birthday (Ok! I'll be nice! The Animal's birthday :P) As The Cow requested for a home-cooked Western Meal, my mum gave the go-ahead! (Finally! After how many years of non-Western Food-dinners! heh heh!) He personally cooked the steaks and the scrambled eggs (my sis is a great fan of his scrambled eggs!) whilst I did the Calamari rings and the soup and mum and sis did the miscellaneous.
Don't ask me where Dad was.


And the result?




makes your mouth water,ain't it?



Maib was so proud of how she set the dining table



Can't wait to have a taste...


The Blob in action



He started eating straightaway!



I told him to take a photo with Mum and he was acting coy. (Just imagine! heh heh!) But finally, after much hardship and struggles, he gave in.




Just look at him,a never-before-displayed side of him..heh heh! See the vulnerable way he holds mum's hand and just look at his face!
But after that, he was back to his old ways when I wanted to take a photo with him.

struggling to stop him from eating

But apart from that, we all enjoyed ourselves and he even held a decent conversation with us! How I wished everyday was his birthday man!

happy! shalala~
