The Day I turn 22...the most awesome dinner ever:)

Today is the day I turned 22 :) Michelle Ho Jia Yee was born on 22nd Feb 1989 at 115am! Thank you Father for creating me, for bringing me to this world to meet 3 awesome people. haha. The 3 darlings, joy skeen and rui qi fetched me from vivo city to riverboat for a perfect dinner :) It was a total surprise! Yes they didn't want to tell me where we were going. I was shocked to realise that we were at the sea. It was a restaurant on a SHIP/BOAT! yes I ate dinner on the sea! Oh goodness! Joy remembered that I fell in love with the sea ever since I was a kid. Haha must be their idea to give me this awesome treat:) After we ordered out food, we went to the so-called deck to take pictures. Had a lovely time. Dinner finally came, had a 1 for 1 special. We ordered 4 giant meals and skeen ordered her all time favourite caesar salad! haha yes, we ate a bomb! I wanted to try the earl gray tea, rui qi introduced it to me the other time and I remember that it was very nice. So decided to get that. It was such a lovely atmosphere, I love the lights and the ambience of the whole place. haha. The darlings bought cupcakes for both skeen and I :) haha sang birthday songs for both of us and we proceeded to the roof top of the jetty/port. Skeen and ruiqi were starting to get sea sick so we had to leave the ship. Went to roof top of the port and we ate our cupcakes there. The night sky was amazing! We saw orion, a beautical constellation with the 3 stars in a row. You can still see it now at this time of the year :) There were so many stars, so pretty! Then it was my favourite moment. We took pictures!!! A lot and a lot of pictures:) Did so many jump shots! haha can't wait to see all of them! There was so much laughter, joy, fun, peace...I felt like the world just stopped and we were just in our own time zone...the night sea was so so beautiful. I bet you can already tell that I have a weakness for the sea, the ocean, the blue horizon....kept saying that the sea is so beautiful. I wished it would last forever...soon it was time to go. My parents wanted me to be home early as I've been staying out late so often these few days. Before leaving, the 3 darlings presented to me a card and my present :) haha took individual pictures with each of them together with the present. It was my trademark. haha Those of you who did notice me clearly, I am a earring person. I always wear earrings to school, when I go out...anywhere:) haha. My three darlings got me this sweet flower earrings. Will definitely wear them to school :) We then surprised skeen and presented her a picture of BUTTERCUP :) haha. Yes in case you don't know, the 4 of us are called power puff girls + mojojojo. Rui qi is blossoms, skeen is buttercup, joy is bubbles and me, mojojojojo. haha though I think it's quite ironic for me to be mojojojo. Can you believe it, I was mojojojo by default, cos I wasn't there to choose that day. Anyway, we'll pass to skeen her present on mon when it is her actual birthday.

We went back to jiahao's car and when we got into the car, something crazy happened.....the car couldn't start! We accidentally left the small lights on for about 4  hours! That was when the battery was flat and the car couldn't start. Skeen and I got out of the car and quickly grab a nearby person who  just parked his car for help. He was willing to help, problem is he didn't know how to...skeen and I then ran into the port building, found a policeman in the office and explained to him our situation. He was a kindest person ever. He got out to help us jump start the car using the other guy's car battery. It took awhile to transfer his car's battery to jiahao's car...but to cut the long story short, we managed to get everything back in working order again. To the owner of the toyota grey car, thank you so so so so  much for lending us your car, your time, your effort and your patience. To the policeman who helped us, you really saved our lives man! Seriously, without you coming out to help us, the 4 of us will be stuck at marina till god knows when. The 4 of us really owe it all to you both.

Finally got back at nus at around 11plus pm....Rui qi darl was so kind to call her dad down to fetch skeen and I home. Got back home at around 12 midnight. Monkey showed me the bag that she got from IMM, I totally loved it!

Just finished reading the card that they gave me. Knowing that this is my last birthday in Singapore makes me want to cry. I wish I could stop time, I feel so lost, I don't know how to react everytime I think of Australia....To the 3 powrpuff girls, you 3 are very very precious to me. Still remeber the first time I met all of you, joy in fairfield, skeen in pjc, and rui qi in nus on a field trip to IMH. I will never ever forget this birthday. To rui qi and skeen, thanks so much for enduring the sea sickness on board just to have dinner with me. To joy, thanks for everything that you've prepared. I know that the 3 of you have put in a lot of effort to make this night so special for me. You know something, knowing that the 3 of you are all attached somehow makes me feel at ease...that when I leave, you'll have not only each other but you are all safe in another guy's hands. I'm so so happy that you 3 have already found that special someone. haha okay, I feel like a big sister now...anyway I am the big sister! I'm the oldest among the 4 of us. I cannot tell you how much tonight meant to me....it was so special...if I were to say thank you, think it'll last till the day I die. Thanks you for everything. We'll always be together in our hearts....no distance can ever separate us ya?

To joy, my dear darling friend since 15 years old. Thanks for always being so sweet to me. You cheer me up when I'm down. You're always with me whenever we meet up with our 4c mates. You always study with me....since year 1 sem 1, we've taken modules together every sem. I really treasure you as a dear dear friend. I know sometimes in life we can have so many questions, but sometimes it might be a better idea to just let go and let god take control and all we have to do is to follow him and see what he has in store for us :) thanks for everything.

To skeen, my dear cheery friend who never ever fails to smile:) I love you for who you are. I love talking to you. I know that deep down inside, you are a friend who is willing to go the distance for others. I've always enjoyed all the times we spent together, in darwin lecture, when we were just talking together over lunch or outings. You've always bring so much fun and joy in my life. ahahaha and I know that you want me to find a boyfriend, but we'll see how things go ya? If it is meant to be, it'll meant to be:) thanks for everything.

To rui qi, my dear sunshine friend who through time, I have come to realise that you have brought in so much warmth into my heart. I loved every moment spent with you. You always say that I am the nicest friend you've ever known...haha I am not okay. You'll be surprised, think there are people who actually thought that I am a cold person....think it's just my face....I know that you are someone whose heart is so caring, so sweet to those who are precious to you. Over time, I realised that you are actually a very generous and loving person. thanks so much for everything.

I love all 3 of you so much! I wish I can take you all with me when I go over, but that will be so selfish of me. I can't bear to do that. Will really treasure every moment we have together....

That's it for my account of my 22nd birthday celebration :) Thanks for hearing me ramble on and on....I just can't help it. Better stop writing now...before I go, Happy Birthday to Me :)

New Makeover..

So here's the deal, we do up the house abit in order to fetch a higher price when we sell it. Sounds like a good plan. But there's just so much work to be done...

Today 5 men campe to our house to do a major re-paint. They arrived around 8plus in the morning(I've barely woken up) and first thing was to hack away our ceiling plastic. Yes, every single furnitutre in our house were covered with plastic sheets for protection. The entire floor was covered with newspapers. Basically my house didn't looked like a house. Papa went our with 1 guy to buy the paints...man he chose a colour that I didn't quite fancy. But ya. Anyway, once the paint had arrived, the men got to work and they painted our WHOLE house. All our ceilings, all our walls, in every room, and even our pipes in the two toilets and kitchen. Amazing ya? I thought it was cool, but our house was in a major mess. haha you could hardly walk around. The floor is covered with ceiling plastci chips and I always stepped on paint. Nonethless, like what I've learnt in teensxicte today, we must always give thanks. I thought the five men were amazing, they painted our whole house in about 11hours! I mean it was a lot of work and yet they were efficient :) Thank God for them! I didn't go for sat evening service. After having cell group with my darlings teens, I came back straight home to help my family with the cleaning up. I was surprised to see the whole house in a different colour (Ice white)! Everything was kind of cleared, just that there were still dust and chips on the floor. I quickly ate my dinner and helped mopped the floor. Oh I did wipe the chairs too:) This is indeed my first time seeing my house having such a new make-over(sort of, but not really). The living room ceiling looks so much better now.

All in all, I can only look back and thank God. Thank him for the five men, thank god for my family who worked together to clean up the house and thank God that despite the chaos in my house, I was still able to attend tenns service with my girls. Haha Anhyway, my parents are flying over to Aussie next wed, (crap they won't be here to surpport me for my driving test). Guess things are slowly starting to shape up. I'm just letting nature take it's course man. I'm sure with the Lord, everything will work out well. I'm excited yet nervous.

Well, that's all I have for today...oh yes, glad that I was able to spent time with some people this week:) meetings with friends meant a lot to me...especially in this season
