Happy 24th birthday celebration

Celebrated my 24th birthday with my close friends yesterday. We had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe and yup as i mentioned before in one of my previous post, its my virgin experience there! Well nothing fantastic about the place, nothing fanciful, nothing unique, nothing beautiful lol. The place was filled with Caucasians though. And while dining there, we all realised that i wasn't the only one celebrating his/her birthday there that night, there were at least 3 other people sharing that special day with me haha. But i must comment that the food there is not too bad at all. I had some sort of a chicken with macaroni cheese dish which i couldn't finish in the end.

Biker couple Dave and Teri came for around half an hour before they had to go off to 'meet the parents'. Dave came holding a big Nike plastic bag containing a nice Nike shoe box..i thought that was meant for me but when presenting to me my gift..they took out a much smaller Nike plastic bag instead haha. They had bought me a running singlet knowing how athletic and fit i've been lately thanks guys! Haha! Oh and thanks to my poly buds namely Valencia, Kheng Hong, Henry, Meiwen and Sham, i am now a proud owner of a brand new Crumpler Sling bag!


The couple that came and went in a jiffy


The gift from Puss and Sam, look how happy i am


The message on it..yup i'm also known as Smally


The nice Nike sweater that was inside what looks like a huge shuttlecock case


The cap Weijian bought at the very last minute..and look how coincidental. S24 on the cap. Smally-24years old! He swore he didn't meant it when he bought it.


The crumpler sling bag from the poly buds!

Happy birthday to me! Ice Cream courtesy of Hard Rock Cafe. I didn't finish the ice cream that day and look what happened to my car! Its a curse! The last time we didn't finish Henry's birthday cake something happened too! So guys please finish every single bit of your birthday cake next time!


I should have wished i wouldn't puke that night


24 loh!


Kheng Hong and Henry trying to put emphasis on those nice small eyes of theirs


Stupid bird and Valencia lol


Philadel, Puss and me!


Some were missing


Ok now for the proper group shot at Hard Rock


It was supposed to be a farewell shot in front of Hard Rock but the passerby that took it put my camera to Video Mode. The video turned out to be really hilarious though!

After dinner, we all went to Mt Faber's Jewel Box Altivo Bar. They didn't bring me there for the atmosphere nor the live band nor anything else, they just wanted to get me high and probably drunk. I was given 2 waterfalls courtesy of Puss and Wayniest, 1 lamborghini no thanks to Eunice and husband, 1 tequila shot thanks to Kheng Hong and 1 frustration thanks to Henry. In case you don't know what frustration is, its some cold beer mixed with some other shitty alcohol, it smelled and tasted like cough syrup, you will seriously feel frustration after drinking that lol. Actually both the lamborghini and waterfall tasted like cough syrup too. So can you imagine after drinking so much cough mixture that night, i'm still actually coughing now! Lol. After taking the first drink which was the waterfall, my stomach was on fire, i could feel all the blood rushing upwards towards my head. After the lamborghini and the 2nd waterfall, my world started to spin, i felt so hot you could have cooked an egg on my face...i looked like a tomato. This was when i was called up on stage by the live band together with this other birthday boy Daniel. The band's simple request was for us to get a girl to slow dance with us while they sang the song Wonderful Tonight. Daniel had no problem finding a girl because his girlfriend was there that night. In the end, Eunice was picked by the singer from the band to dance with me. I hope her husband didn't mind! Haha. Anyway that wasn't all, after the dance, Kheng Hong had to toast me with another Tequila shot when my world was already having a super duper earthquake richter scale 10! After the last drink, i really didn't want any more, i told myself inside my heart i'll abstain from alcohol for the rest of my life haha. But the fact that i actually managed to remember so much details despite drinking so much shows that i was perfectly sober that night! I'm good!


I'm not sleeping. I'm trying to cover my red tomato face when Phil is trying to take shot of me


There i am on stage with the other birthday boy Daniel


There i am having a dance with Eunice


Happy gloating friend Shawn


Happy gloating friends daidee brothers


More happy gloating friends! The whole group of them now.


Thanks Kheng Hong for one last toast!

At the end of the night, Philadel and Weijian had to drive my car for me. Then came disaster. I burped and the taste of the cough syrup reappeared, it was the last straw, i couldn't take it anymore, i just puked...and of all place...in my poor Jazzabel! I would like to apologise to Phil, Wayniest and Henry who were in the car at that time with me, it was embarrassing, it was smelly, it was sticky, it was dirty, it was plain disgusting. Thats exactly how i felt although it was my own puke...it must have been worse for them haha. I really felt for my car after that...i used to even fuss when i have the smell of food in my car..and now! Arghh!

Anyway, they sent me home for a bath and a change of clothes after that. While rinsing my mouth with listerine, i almost puked again..it had the taste of alcohol haha. Anyway, i stayed over at Weijian's house that night. I slept on his carpet with his sleeping bag. You would have expected me to get a really nice sleep after all that drinking but nope, i slept at 4am and woke up around 9.40am after someone smsed. I couldn't get back to sleep anymore after that. Fortunately, there wasn't any hangover or anything for me. Life was back to normal again. I then went on to play soccer in the afternoon only to find out there that the opponents had gone to the wrong pitch.

All in all, i would really like to thank all those that spent this wonderful special day with me namely Puss, Weijian, Philadel, Valencia, Kheng Hong, Shawn, Henry, Darien, Sham, Dave, Teri, Eunice, Ryan, Jackie and Mag! Although it didn't end off too nicely (at least for me), i really did enjoy myself thoroughly. Thanks for the presents, thanks for the presence, thanks for the hugs and kisses and last but not least thanks for the drinks! But! No more next year!
