I survived my second wisdom tooth extraction! You would have thought that second time was easier, but I beg to differ.
Anyhow... I SURVIVED! Thank God for that.

Some people
Some people have no sense of respect for other people's personal space.
Today, I went to Mid Valley to watch Harry Potter with Boo. After movie, I suddenly realised that I was actually starving, and well, since we haven't seen each other for ages, I managed to convince Boo to stay another hour to makan and chat with me.
So, we headed over to Gardens, and straight towards Sushi Zanmai. Not surprisingly, since it was lunchtime, not to mention it's Sunday, there was a line waiting outside. Boo and I joined the line, and after a while, this huge uncle came and stood behind us.
And how did I know he is huge? Hard to not notice that since he was so disrespectfully invading my personal space. Eh... hello, put some space between us lar. I don't know you and I don't care to get to know you. And you are standing so close to me that there isn't even enough space to fit a 6-inch ruler in between.
Seriously lar, he was standing so close that when I turned slightly to talk to Boo, my bag actually jabbed into his overlarge belly, and yet he still refused to move! And when I moved forward a little bit, trying to get away from him, he moved forward.
Adui.... two steps away from the person in front of you is not going to lose you the seating in the restaurant. And besides... don't you feel like a pervert? Standing so close to a young girl who looks like she could be the age of your daughter?
Some people seriously need to learn how to respect other people's personal space.
Now I regretted not staging a loud whisper on how fat he is and how he is being a pervert by standing so close to me.
Cheh!

The 21st
Apparently, I just found out, during my bday party yesterday, that it is Hokkien people's tradition to celebrate 21st birthdays secara besar-besaran.
Well... according to Joy's mother. And I will just take her word for it since adults are supposed to be wiser when it comes to stuff like this.
But then again, I supposed I'm an adult now too.
Ah... the responsibilities.
Anyways, because Zaza they all said 21st should be celebrated, well, on the eve of my bday I had pizza with my housemates and Sal. It wasn't much, but at least the pizzas filled the tummy pretty well.
Then, as usual, my housemates caught me by surprise when they ambushed me with chocolate cake. I thought they wouldn't have the stomach to eat anymore, since the pizzas pretty much made us so bloated that we thought nothing can go in anymore, but I guess there is always another tummy for dessert.
The cake, well, some of us thought it wasn't delicious at all, but I was okay with it. It brought back memories from childhood, when the cakes that I ate when I was a kid was a bit salty rather than super duper sweet.
And I was so touched, when Zaza, Meme, Mishel, Yeunouh, and Lynda bought me my favorite book for my present. Well... the story was, I was looking for The Green Mile with the exact cover as the book in library, cause I want it to have some sentimental value seeing as I fell in love with that book in that cover, but this different cover works as well. Oh... and they decided to chuck in an additional mascara because apparently Zaza saw me eyeing those mascaras (because the packaging looks so pretty!), and they decided to buy me one too.
So... on the day itself, my bday, well, I got a lot of bday wishes from friends. I was really touched that a friend who I hadn't talked to for two years already texted me and wished me Happy Birthday, because I thought he wouldn't remember, or wouldn't care.
After class, I went to 1U with Sal because we missed BBQ plaza too much. It was a bit... disappointing, as we felt as though we didn't get to eat puas-puas, but oh well. Had fun trying on different dresses in Forever 21, and Sal bought me the bangles that I have been eyeing!! Happiness... which was short lived because due to my carelessness, the bangles dropped on the floor and the paint got scrapped a bit. And I haven't even gotten the chance to wear it! Damn.
A bit of a bummer, when Sal and I got back from 1U, this scary Indian driver cheated us. The super meter ran so fast that by the time I got back to Tiara, it was 13 bucks, when usually, even with traffic jam, the amount wouldn't go over 10 bucks.
So... yesterday, my mum threw me a 21st bday party. Even though it was considered not so good to have a celebration after the actual bday date, my mum decided that it was okay because my chinese calendar bday hadn't passed yet.
The party wasn't too grand, but it wasn't very shabby either. Well, the guests were mostly my parents' friends, and my friends were all too busy to be there. Too bad, though Andrea, Joy and Kang were there. Honestly, I was so surprised and touched that Kang came. She told me she wouldn't.
Anyways... other than the eating, chatting, and blowing candles, which, instead of 21 candles like my mum wanted me to blow, I only got to blow three cause the wind took care of the other 18 for me, there were, of course, presents!
My cousin was so excited about me opening her gift, that she actually bugged me to open her gift. It was kinda funny, actually, because it was this black and white scarf that was, well, more of my sis's style, and my cousin, being the blur case that she is, she thought I was the one who wears this kind of style. But oh well, at least she stuck with the basic colours and not some lala kind of colours.
Got some jewelries and soft toys, and also ang paus. The most mengezadaokan present is from Joy and Kang, which, honestly, I supposed it suits Kang better since the function seems to be more practical to her rather than me. Hear that, Miss Kang?
I supposed everyone only turns 21 once in their life, and I'm just grateful that I have people who care and love me so much that they remember and are willing to pamper me just because it was my birthday.
Thanks, guys! Thanks for the memorable 21st.

The weekend
I haven't been updating for quite some time, I know. Anyone misses my updates? No? I'm heartbroken.
Anyways, went to Central Market with Zaza last week Thursday. It was fun, though tiring. I swear I'm getting too old, everything seems to tire me, not counting getting ready for bed. Back to the topic, we saw some interesting sights, talked to interesting people. Overall, it was an interesting place, though I have never been there before even though I certainly had passed by that place countless times.
Saturday was my cousin's wedding, which I skipped class to attend. Well, it probably wasn't a very noble sacrifice, seeing as I don't really mind having an excuse to skip class, not to mention that I got to cover his wedding for my assignment.
Which turned out to be quite funny, because when I was busy asking a lot of questions on the details of the wedding, my uncle (the father of the getting married cousin) thought I was getting impatient about getting married, thus so infinitely curious. He just smiled, and said, "Don't worry, when it's your time, just give me a big ang pau and I will settle everything for you." Seriously, I wouldn't mind giving him an ang pau if he could help me do my assignment.
Anyways, stupid me, I missed the part where the bridegroom traditionally needed to go to the bride's house to er.... get the bride. Before getting the bride, my cousin had to go through her "ji muis", who all proceeded to torture them, sorta. I missed that part! Though I did saw the footage of the process, so I supposed all is not lost yet for my assignment. Besides, my cousin agreed to let me interview him, with my cousin-in-law. Hehe.
Oh.... Did I mention how adorable and cute and adorable and cute my nieces and nephews are? No? They are like the cutest things ever, seriously. ^^
And I got a pretty necklace with a gorgeous pendant from my mum as an early birthday present, which, sadly, I didn't really see what the pendant really is until she told me. But admittedly, once I know what the pendant is, it really is gorgeous.
Met up with Joy and Kang on Sunday morning for breakfast too, though in the end I only ended up having two barley ice. Sorry, guys, I was too tired and sleepy to make decent conversations.
So, that's all for the recent happenings. Coming soon, assignments and presentations and quizzes. T.T
