Just realised I haven't posted anything here for the past few days. Been going to the hospital to visit nikki, who just had a major surgery. She got discharged today, glad she's fine :) And I finally got a haircut yesterday, happiness! I was damn desperate for it ok. Went out to town with Justin today. He got me 3 CDs as a birthday present and surprised me with a customized cake before we called it a day. Thanks :)

Life's great! Woohoo :D

Dear Ashley,

It is high time you tidied your room. It looks like a dump site right now, how do you even stand the sight of it?! And while you're at that, please get rid of all the unwanted worksheets because the pile is collecting more dust day by day. Oh, you also need a haircut real badly. Your hair is thick and out of shape, please do something about it. And and and, stop being so clumsy! Stop slamming the hard cover books on your hands at work and stop walking into objects. Lastly, please take care of yourself and drink more water.

Love,
Self

Fuck, I can just go bang wall and die.

At 10.20 this morning, Wenglok and Sidney came over with a cake while I was still asleep. So I blew off the very first official candle for today, half awake. 

After they left, I went to shower, have the cake for breakfast, and watched 7th heaven. Just as I was watching tv, someone suddenly shouted "ASHLEY!" from behind, so loudly that my heart felt like it almost fell out. I turned behind, it was Ven, Marilyn and Asaph. I swear I really got so frightened by them that I was stunned for a while. Apparently, they called my home to get my brother to open the door for them secretly. They succeeded, I was indeed really surprised.

I changed, and we cabbed to orchard for lunch. Then we took like forever to decide between Breeks and Seoul Garden, before finally settling down with Breeks.

After lunch, we cabbed down to katong for karaoke! :D

Ven and Asaph left midway to buy chips, but Marilyn and I were so engrossed in singing, we didn't notice they took about an hour to get back. When they got back, they came in singing the birthday song, with a lighted cake, and huge balloons! They succeeded again, I was surprised. Apparently, they went all the way to parkway to get them, cos katong was hopeless. Aww, so sweet :)

After this picture, I got tricked by asaph into doing different poses.

"Ok now, errr...small eyes!"

"Give a stupid face."

"Give your ugliest face."

"Smile like theres no tomorrow."

I fell for his trick, again. He was supposed to pose with me! Darn.

And it just so happened that the room we were in, was the same number as my birth date! 23! 

After karaoke, Marilyn left. And we took asaph's godfather's car to downtown east where we had dinner at New York New York. But we were already pretty tired by then, thus the lifeless looks.

I. cannot. stand. Asaph. Leh.

I finally took the bus for the first time today on the way home from downtown east, together with the balloons. And had everyone on board staring at me hahaha.

All in all, I had the most enjoyable day ever! :D Thanks guys!

PS: I need a haircut, asap.
