birthday celebrations part 2

today at esplanade. picked up all my cheese pie gang friends from respective pick up points.

lunch was at esplanade's colours by the bay. a beijing la mian eatery. quite disappointing actually. 'cos we're all spoiled by din tai fung and crystal jade's fine chinese cuisine.

that was followed by max brenner's....ahhh....so nice..... =) shared some melty-chocolate with milk thingy with grace and jon and fondue with everyone. so nice..... i love chocolate....

so we sat there for quite some time, just hanging around and talking...

then grace joyce and i went to walk around and do girly stuff while the guys went home. we ended up looking at shoes and sitting at polar cafe at citylink talking for the rest of the afternoon. it was really nice to catch up with these 2 girls i've known for so long. we talked about our relationships, our life, our past, our present and our future.

came home and bathe. read grace's very very nice card. watch ET. sleep a bit while waiting for my sisters to come home so we can eat dinner. then watch ET again before cutting my cake. a really nice chocolate espresso banana cake from cedele bakery....it's so nice! then talk talk talk....then dragged myself to pack for hall and school....

argh school's starting!

anyway i wanna rant about harry potter! so spoilers ahead....

argh...why did d*******re die????? must she kill one beloved character after every book? tell you based on her pattern, harry's gonna die at the end of her last book. but i enjoyed the book a lot. more than the 5th one, which was slightly more draggy and long. but she had to introduce members of the order...so now after those introductions she can get on with the story and more importantly, voldermort's past.

i thought the insight to his past was really really good. she kept us in the dark for 5 books about him and now...haha...we at least know something about the enemy.

why did he die?? how could a wizard so powerful that voldermort himself feared, become so powerless in front of voldermort's servant? ok he was weakened by his past battles and that potion he drank. but still....

hee~ i cannot wait for the last book to read how it all ends. now harry has no guidance and has to rely on his instincts and courage to do what he's supposed to do to save the world. so exciting.

first sirius, now d*******re....sigh....

haha~ i still remember when the order of phoenix came out it was june 2003. and we were preparing for june common test and chem practical test. and before the prac test we were at LT3 waiting to go to the labs and one of the girls accidentally slipped out one important fact of the book - sirius black died at the end. and catrina was complaining nonstop because she hasn't read it yet and wanted to find out on her own.

year 2 starts tmr. i have a 0930 lecture. then down to union business. comtemplating about CCAs this year. what to join and what to quit. feel like trying ministerial forum. or join more hall stuff and school stuff. hmmmm.

i need sleep. back staying in hall. but no louisa. =( i'll miss her. hopefully she gets an empty room so i can move in with her. best case scenario - an empty room in blk 36. cross fingers! and pray.

ok. sleeping time. toodles.
