Practically had to drag myself to post this lol

I'll keep this short. It's very much as low-key as last year's... so again, not much really to speak about today. 

Time for obligatory birthday & 1st day of the month post~~~!

Though... honestly, today isn't really a day to write home about. Very ordinary day which consisted of getting birthday wishes/presents and... I like how low-key it is.

It's raining again...

Plot twist!

Erm... well. It's a day I can't avoid to blog about when I'm attempting to blog daily this year. 

White Choc Macadamia

Found old school books today. And a box of old photos. I was laughing as I sorted them out haha.. Here are some of my chibi self:

My last blog post was in July 2015. LONG TIME NO SEE~


Not much has happened since then. Really.


Today celebrated my birthday by having dinner at Nishiki (instead of our usual go-to japanese restaurant in Lintas). I was looking for a place that serve bigger portion of unagi and which was why we ended up there today.

Everything's pretty low-key today. I actually spent most of my birthday playing computer game lol

I received a pleasant surprise after our dinner. Which made me realise I DO like surprises. My family prepared a birthday cake for me! I really didn't see that coming... totally amused by that.

I love surprises!


I am grateful for the birthday wishes & prayers I received today...
Thank you very much!





p/s: I want to see myself write more in the future so... I might start updating this blog again.

Woke up late today so no bagels :P

Went to Nishiki japanese restaurant for the first time today for a belated birthday celebration. In my family, when we say japanese restaurant, we usually meant going to Lintas’ Wagamama Wojamama restaurant… but this time I suggested going to a new place. Been craving Unagi since I saw Ohno’s challenge in “Arashi ni Shiyagare” (pic). Didn’t eat the way it was recommended on the show though because I couldn’t figure out which one is the tail (should be eaten last because it’s the tastiest part).

I didn’t take any pics though… hehe

Oh.. I think.. I think I can handle Wasabi now. I ate it by putting a small amount on my sushi… not as bad as I thought it would be.

Also… I saw someone – a former classmate (form 5) – sitting with his family on the next table to ours. I just realised who it was when we were going to leave. Didn’t say hi or anything though because I’m pretty sure he had forgotten who I am.

* * * * *

There are too many Sakurai news nowadays, I’m getting tired of seeing them in my Twitter timeline/LJ friends page. I’m complaining because he’s not my ichiban (Ohno-biased) and I think he’s overexposed enough already. SIGH… I don’t hate him or anything.. just.. really annoyed... for now. 

Annoyance aside… I saw yesterday’s VSA! It felt like my birthday gift having them won with Ohno doing excellently in “Bound Hockey”. He was really awesome! I guess that’s how he is when he’s in serious mode.

 

 

 

 

During “Jungle Bingo”, the VSA staff made him wear a small camera video on his head to showcase the insides of the Jungle Bingo while he played. It was interesting! Will they continue doing that?

Oh! Jun was really bad in “Kicking Sniper”! LOL The opponent team gave him a stylish specs and asked him to play with them on. Jun couldn’t see properly with them. He kept making some robotic movements when it’s his turn to kick.

Obviously I didn't blog much after last year's birthday. Hahaha..I even had a two-month (consecutively!) without posts. Was terribly distracted by Arashi's TV variety shows XD. As usual,




I would like thank again those who texted/tweeted me birthday wishes and :D. I think I said the same thing last year...anyway, I'm really glad you remembered my birthday~ :')

*In case you didn't know, I turned 22 today. This is a compulsory birthday post to be made every year.*

An updated chronology of my blog (last year's is here)

┏━━━【２００９】
┃
┣━「Whole Nov」 My first completed NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Dec 17」 Went to Tawau for the first time to attend my cousin's wedding.
┃
┣━「Dec 31」 First semester's result.
┃
┣━━━【２０１０】
┃
┣━「Whole Jan」 Second completed NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Feb 17」 How I was named.
┃
┣━「April」 Classes ended. Exam month.
┃
┣━「Apr 22」 I thought the black years (year 2004-2005) phase is over, but apparently not from this post.
┃
┣━「May」 Incomplete NaBloPoMo month.
┃
┣━「Jun 7」 My second trip to the same dentist. Brave enough to get two of my bad teeth pulled out.
┃
┣━「Jun 22」 Second semester's exam result.
┃
┣━「Jun 25」 Bye bye, Sis.
┃
┣━「July」 Wow. I didn't blog anything at all in July.
┃
┣━「Aug 13」 Me and my tantrums. Kind of funny to read that now.
┃
┗━「Sept 1」 This post.

There are some things that I never bother to mention in my blog before. Like having my hair short throughout Semester 2 (thanks to Nodame who made me see that it's not that bad to have short hair). Also, I originally wanted a red SE Satio but in the end I chose SE's own first Android phone (which I just named Shiro X10 today). And then today, I was surprised by the "arrival" of a purple Dell netbook - a birthday gift from my parents (OMG, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!)... And then those birthday wishes from my family (including extended family) and friends...THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Fuh. Enough shouting.



(I really miss blogging very much.)

Before "I turned 21" this year, I was 12 once…

& then there’s one random note, which is true!  I was lucky to know them!

I didn’t smile much when I was little too which is evident from these photos…

Okay, last one… the weird ones.
Joel’s message wasn’t ‘original’. I suspect he’s writing the monkey-kangaroo-zoo birthday song. Dianne wrote me a “Happy New Year” message (that’s 3 months away!).

Can you guess which birthday wish is my favourite?
(Favourite as in I-can’t-believe-that-person-wrote-that! & no it’s not E.E.’s)
=P

THANK YOU, as always!!!!


--------------< After this line : drafted yesterday… so I sounded a bit erm..forlorn. >
Happy birthday to me?

Haha. I don’t sound very excited about this, do I ?
*sigh*
It happened like after 3 weeks of agony – the silent tension between my ex-group members and me and the fact that they are ignoring me now… (Erm. Let’s not get there 1st.) - *BIG sigh*.. yeah. I don’t feel like being excited…
Anyway. I do admire the date.. haha. I mean it’s the 1st day of Sept! It’s such a beautiful date, don’t you think? Easy to remember though there’s not much events (at least those I’m familiar with) on this day.
Okay… like last year, I’m putting a chronology of my blog. An update, to be exact. (Last year’s is here.)

“…”

I've been alive for 2 decades now.

Thanks to everyone that wished me "Happy Birthday" today!

What do I graduated from as I reached this age?

*yells* Sappari wakaranai!

Hmm... Anyway. This is what I'm going to blog today.

Chronology of my blog. Only important events.

Yeah, I might not include everything in my blog (like when I failed my exam or an encounter with someone I hate...) ... especially bad experiences or embarassing moments... ( I plan to write about that in the future) these few years but it's still a part of my life. When I look back at my older posts, I realised just how childish and shameless I was back then.

〇〇〇-blogspot-com (my old blog) was started solely to channel my lonely, unmotivated, aimless, & stressed (OK, enough!) life in form 5. Even now, I cringe whenever the memories return to mind... There were so many things I wouldn't dare to re-play in my mind. I'm always surprised how people can survive form 5 /SPM year gracefully. I'm convinced that no one ever felt more pathetic as I was. I think I had some kind of depression thingy going on that year (I even got insomnia for the whole year.. Only can sleep at 3 am and got up around 5 am to prepare for school) and maybe during form 4 too) but I never got it diagnosed.

Hey. Wait a minute. This post is supposed to be a happy post.
