HL's 21st Birthday

Presenting... Ms Leong Wai Shien, the FIRST person to ever VOLUNTEER to guest blog here =D (Normally, I have to ask/bug/beg/force others to write for me) hahaha... enjoy ;)

Wai Shien:
Hey all, this is my first attempt as a guest blogger in MY's blog. Believe it or not, I volunteered to do so. I have no idea why I did, but now I am starting to regret it cuz I don even noe how to start.. Plus SL and WB's entries are so so detailed, its very intimidating.

Ok, since I am a gal of few words :P, I shall K.I.S.S (fyi, keep it short and sweet). Hopefully the pics will fill in the gaps.

To celebrate Huey Ling's big day (though she still wonders why I am more excited than her and she claims turning 21 is nothing big compared to getting married), the initial plan was to have dinner at Kuala Selangor but later changed to a seafood restaurant called ?? at somewhere in Kota Damansara (?? the area near CW's place) recommended by Ade. Since most of us don't know our way there, all of us met up at Shell before that to avoid having to starve while waiting for everybody to arrive. haha

I missed most of the ordering process cuz MY, Dorinda and I got the furthest parking and had to walk from the farrrr end of the road. Ok, some exercise before eating wont hurt :P But the people in charge of ordering were Adeline, HL and SL. In the end, we ordered 9 dishes altogether.. fish, taufu, vege, sotong, crabs and some weird fish paste with chicken skin (not recommended) etc...

Tea came first. Supposed to be some 'hiong pin' tea but wasn't that hiong also. haha


WS: HL, what are you doing?
HL: Washing the glasses lar..
WS: ok

erm, was it very obvious? Haha she was pouring tea from one cup to another. Issit a norm to do that? hahahaha

After a - long - while, our food finally came.....

We were all starving, so we just ate, ate and ate....


I was sitting right next to Mich and apparently it is very dangerous when she attempts to remove the crab shell. Luckily, I was safe from her flying crabby sauceee....



Choi Lin, SL and HL looking more serious while eating than while in class :P



HL looking so happy to be wearing a bib again while Ade is trying to get her hands on the biggest piece of crab



She obviously got what she was looking for....



Dorinda with the non seafood eaters



After a short while, we already habis most of the dishes and it was barely 9pm yet i think.

What is a birthday celebration without the birthday cake?

Surprise HL!!!


I learnt how to position the candle on a cake if you want to push the birthday gal/boy's face on to the cake AND also later get to have a piece of cake without the fear of eating any pimples or whiteheads.

After singing happy birthday in at least 3 languages, SL as the lead singer as usual (my apologies to the other customers in the restaurant), HL made her wish(es) and blew the candles.


The moment has come, hahaha



With excuses such as her nose is too big, the candle is too deep inside the cake, etccc..



She finally did it!!



For that, we give her 'a cert of achievement'

It was barely 10pm when we finished the cake and free jelly, so we decided to go to laundry.

It took for a while for the drinks to come cuz it was so freaking crowded. What else can we do besides taking more pics? :P



Ade showing us how we should move on the dance floorrr....



Sim Ling picking it up really fast...



CL refused to let Ade steal the limelight, showed us how to groove too :P



MY and I already looking drunk without a single drop of alcohol.... haha



CW obviously can't get over the fact that he wasn't chosen when he auditioned for the role of the ghost crawling out of the tv in The Ring... We as supportive frens shall let him pose like this as long as he is happy :)



Finally, our margarita and beer arrived!



CHEERSSS!!


Basically we just ordered a few more rounds of drinks till it was 12am to officially wish HL happy 21st and hung around till bout 1am ++.

Surprisingly none of us was really drunk, just a bit giggly but that was about it. Hahaha seriously!

From L-R: Ms "i-don-want-to-drink-anymore (but-continue-drinking)", Ms "omg-u-guys-are-crazy", Ms "i-wont-vomit", Ms "CALM-DOWN-everyone"



and Ms "you-can-drive-my-waja-rite?" :P

Ok, that would be the end of the report for this outing. Very brief I know but that's the best I can do. Haha I think next time I shall just offer to write captions for the photo album instead cuz I think now this entry is more like photos with captions. Hahaha

Before I sign off, once again, we would like to wish our dear HL..



So, is this the 21st celebration you had in mind?
