My 21st Birthday Celebration

♥ 10:02 PM

Yesterday was the day that I celebrated my 21^st birthday at Downtown east chalet with my family and my friends. On Friday, I took half day leave and went with dad and Liang Ying to check in at the chalet. On the way there, we drop off at Yishun to collect a gift from Sharon and Li Xuan. The three girls had could not make it on Saturday due to some commitments so they pass the present to me first. After that we continue on to Pasir Ris to check in. The check in counter was under staff and they were so slow and I had to wait for very long. After getting the keys, we proceed to Blk B #1217 to put down our stuff before going for dinner. After dinner, we went to explore around and Downtown East changed a lot. There were many more new eating outlets around. After walking around, we went back to the chalet to watch Dvd and had some vodka.

Next day was the day of the party and in the afternoon, Liang Ying and I went to White Sands NTUC to meet up with Shu Wen and Jing Wen to get the drinks and fruits and salad for the party later. After getting the stuff, we went back to the chalet and mum; sis and her boyfriend came after a while. While waiting for the party to start, I went to buy some tidbits for us to eat as Camille was complaining that she was hungry. At around, 6 I went to take a bathe and change into a fresh set of clothes. After which, we went to prepare the ice box and chill the drinks before the guest came. At around 6:45 the buffet was here and by 7 the food was ready. First batch of guest to arrive was Elle, David and Shi Hui who came to help prepare the salad and also helped me cut the fruits. Next to arrive was Sam See, Matt, Zhi Yun and Gracia and they disappeared off to find the beach soon after. At around 7, when most of my friends have arrived, we started having the food. Foo arrived along with Aunty Elizabeth with the fried chicken wings and fries to add on to the buffet. From recruit express, the first to arrive was my beloved Mentor and her boyfriend and at around 8 plus the rest came along. It was a busy time for me moving around to my different groups of friends and chatting with them. Denise prepared a guest book for me where the guest were given a slip of paper to sign some messages and it was all put together in a photo frame and it was very nice and creative. Shawn came along with his balloons and made me a sword with Glenn drawing the Hiro’s symbol on the balloon. At around 9:30, it was time to cut the cake and time was handed over to Foo who played the guitar while we all sang Happy Birthday for me and after the singing, the guitar was a present for me too. Now its time to go back to learning the guitar. After the cake cutting, was photo taking with my relatives and different groups of friends. I was smashed in the face with cake all thanks to my colleague and when I knew it was Liz’s idea I went after her and at last managed to smear some on her. I was dead drunk last night and could only remember playing cards with Veron and the other temp staff and could not remember much after that. All I heard is that I vomited a lot and when I woke up, I vomit more and could not eat till just now at around 8 where I ate some cookie made by Shu Wen.

I want to really thank my parents for planning this celebration for me and all my friends who turn up and making this celebration so great for me and it will always be a day to be remembered in my mind and also all the presents that they got for me. Most importantly I want to thank my best buddy Liang Ying who came with me and helped me in the preparation and also for taking care of me along with my Dad when I was drunk.
