i really love my friends. they are the most awesome people. we went to sentosa on friday. and i know, i looked so down and unhappy for most of the trip and smiled only when they said something to me, so i hope they dont hate me for that. they gave me an elmo balloon which i carried proudly around =) its in my room now, by my bed. the helium is still intact. huilin said i could have it repumped for $2. haha. and then we ate at Hong Kong Kim Gary restaurant at vivocity. what good foresight we have! the food was fantastic. i think we all went bonkers over the amount of cheese available. heheh. you just gotta love cheeeese. i really love them for not blaming me for showing a black face if i did. plus they made a scrapbook for me! that is so cool. i nearly teared reading it. well its my birthday today. i dont feel particularly happy, but not particularly upset either. to my most pleasant surprise, i got 11 msgs from the angels who actually remembered =D maybe, on your birthday, life isnt so bad after all. hee. thank you once again for the beautiful gems who remembered my bday and cheering me up a notch =) we're going to meet my aunt and cousin now to have lunch. i wonder what mom and dad have for me. but really, presents and all dont matter anymore.
