Okay! I’m tempted to get this Imported CD, selling for $36.90. It’s a classical CD. I was looking for a gift in Music Establishment when I heard it. And that was like 2 weeks ago? God! Now the song or rather the tune keeps re-playing inside my head. I’d tried to look for the song online, but I couldn’t find it. Guess I’ll have to suck it up and pay for it.
Anyway, Glenn’s Birthday~ A belated post.
Initially, Small Aunt had set the celebration on the 1st of Nov, a Saturday. However, I was scheduled for A3 shift on that day. No quota for me to take leave and people with the right mind won’t be kind enough to swap that kind of stupid shift with you. I was feeling kinda sad for not being able to join in the gathering, however, a sms from Gim Li cheered me up. It read, ‘Tan Siew Kim changed to Sunday all because of you’
Woohoo~ My! I’m flattered. And best~ I’m excited.
Now comes the bitch part. Getting a birthday present for a 13 year old. What I like or yearn for when I was around that age? A pager? God! That’s so ancient! Come to think of it, life as a Secondary 1 is so relatively easy. Go to school in the morning, look forward to recess time, don’t do homework, talk back to teacher ( who thinks that they are so right all the time), attending the stupid assembly hoping that the principal will make his/her weekly sermon short…blah blah…
And the coolest thing during those days was having a meal in fast food restaurant with a group of friends. I’d checked with Shirmaine in regards to this thing. She told me that her favourite was Long John Silver. It’s the cheapest F.food outlet at that point of time. Now? Hah~ Subway seems healthier.
I met up with Gim Li for LJS breakfest first ( Shit! I think I’d yet to give her the change yet ). Theo nly reason that I still bother to patron LJS is because of their breakfest. It’s nice. We came out with this idea of getting the birthday boy a watch.
Like aunties who go for the cheapest bargain in the market, we looked at every shop that sells watches before making our decision. An Adidas watch. Hopefully he will love it. After which, we went to Prima Deli to get a cake, then we head to Small Aunt home.
It’s always fun to go to her home for gathering. Her home is spacious enough to contain lots of people and the most important thing is that you won’t feel hot in her home. There’s KTV, MAHJONG, card games and lots of food. Both Small Aunt and Small Uncle-in-law are just the perfect host.
I didn’t know that Roselyn be there. She’s a card game cum drinking buddy~ I quickly called my brother up, asking him to bring along a bottle of Vodka~
While waiting for the mass to arrive, 3rd Aunt, Small Aunt’s mother-in-law, Big Uncle and I played a game of mahjong. Fuck! My luck was quite bad during the East and North wind. It gradually picked up during the West wind. I managed to recoup~~
After that I joined the rest for the KTV session. It’s more like a retro dance session. I introduced them to some of the famous Zouk’s Mambo hits in youtube. This was taken when we were doing the Y.M.C.A

As you can see for yourself, we are doing the C! Lolz

Singing the Birthday Song~

Getting ready for the Group Shot…

Ta-Dah~ The Group Shot~

Here’s the cake~ And it’s very nice can. After I finished my slice, I went back for another one, only to find that there’s no more left! Since when there’s no left over of birthday cakes on a birthday party? I always thought that the norm was that the poor host be going around, perstering the guests to finish it all.
Anyway, after the cakes, the Usual Suspects as in Me, my bro, Roselyn and Small Uncle started the card games… I was looking through the old photos and I found this group shot taken during a chalet gathering.


… … … Surprisngly, it’s the 4 of us AGAIN, just that the sitting arrangement is different. We are such Gamble-Rots. It’s always fun when the 4 of us play Chor Tai Di. The kick is there. Here is the ‘price list’.
Each player will start off with 13 cards.
1) If you have 13 cards at the end of the game, you’ll be charged triple!
2) If you have more than 8 cards at the end of the game, you’ll be charged double.
3) 4 of a kind is $0.50
4) Royal Flush is $1.
5) $0.10 cents per left over card.
If you are the winner, you of course, gets to take all. If you finished the 3rd, you’ll have to pay the 2nd player money too. So if you are the 4th player, good luck to you~ Haha
