also, i found out something from wikipedia.

Ng is a Cantonese and Hakka transliteration of the Chinese surnames 吳/吴 (Pinyin: Wú) and 伍 (Pinyin: Wu), and Hokkien and Teochew transliteration of the Chinese surname 黃/黄 (Pinyin: Huáng). It is sometimes romanized as Ang, Eng, Ing and Ong in the United States and Ung in Australia.

oh! happy eighteenth birthday to twin, yian ling! haha. she's got the same birthdate as me!

& happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

helloo. haha. my birthday celebrations didnt turn out as bad as i thought it would.

met huiling & weiwei on saturday afternoon and had lunch tog @ TCC. (: rot around till around 5pm. met cheelup, delon & daihua at wisma. walked to NAC and had crystal jade!! (: hanhui came just before we finished eating. talked quite abit.

pondered over where to go, decided to head back to TCC (again.) since daihua suggested. so yea, strolled back to cine. the guys were looking @ movie listing at the basement while huiling & i went to the toilet. came out & they disappeared! wanted to follow them but weiwei stopped us. LOL.

he tapped me hard on my shoulders and told me i had a call. i was like.? huh?! so yea, answered the call and it was weiwei (????) lol. then he walked away and whispered "eh. dont follow them! they going to buy birthday cake for her!"

i was bewildered. i asked him "HUH. BUY CAKE FOR WHO?"

then i started laughing non-stop! lol. he walked back & looked damn embarrassed. WHAHHAHA. i laughed so loudly la. he was supposed to call huiling to stop me from following hanhui & the rest but he called me instead. LOLLL!!

so i said, eh! tell them dont need la. weiwei & hl say nvm la, pple's xin yi. told weiwei to tell them buy cheesecake! but he didnt la!

huiling then lured me to take neoprints while weiwei ran away. she didnt allow me to follow him. -.-" aft that, went to TCC & after a while, TCC went dark! they turned off the lights. lol. then the waitress there brought a cake to me. they sang birthday song sooooo loudly!! >.<" thanked them & ate the cake. hehe. they bought chocolate cheesecake. must have cost a bomb!
then on sunday, met dearest. went to marina square to watch ant bully! its really cute! & touching. (: ate dinner at sakae sushi. dumbdumb dearest doesnt eat sushi but still accompanied me there. haha. lovehimmmm.

heh heh. dearest bought me 2 novels from MPH too! :D:D:D

& tadaaa. i thought it was the end of my birthday celebrations! but it wasnt. while i was at sandy's house this afternoon, (cuz she cooked lunch for me), a guy came up with flowers for me! read the acknowledgement receipt & it was from my baby! man, i was thrilled! lol. wonder when he contacted sandy & peien though. haha!

baby bought me 18 stalks of roses. it's my eighteenth birthday! (: loveee! took photos with the bouquet & with sandy, ernest and amanda.

im not happy.

not looking forward to my birthday.

invited many close friends to my advanced birthday celebration tomorrow evening.

im left with only my dearest. best friend huiling & weiwei. & good friends hanhui & cheelup.

feel abandoned.
