it's Serene's birthday today...
but we met up over the weekend to facilitate the horrible uni timetables...
it was a simple dinner at Billy Bombers...
at Jurong Point (!??!!?)...
even when most of us are Easterners...
just for the bday girl who stays in NTU hostel and has a 830 lecture in the morning...
it was fantastic to meet up again...
even though we met a couple of times over the holidays...
for BBQ and stayover...
refer to collapsing-bed incident...
it wasnt much...
but i hope we made her happy...
or considering how cheerful she always is...
happier than usual, i hope...


kitying and myself...
narcissistic shot that i took...
presumably as a bday gift to rene...
coz it was her camera...
or more accurately, her sis' fantabulous 5.0 MP Cybershot...
came out pretty ok...
and yeah...
my new earrings...


rene, the bday girl and GY...
GY rushed over from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay...
and that's from one end of the EW line to the other...
Serene, you ought to be touched...
haven't seen GY since our bdays...
and that was in September...
her hair GREW!


tian1 cai2, Jas and the bday STAR!
Rene's shirt is supposed to be a vietnamese flag...
but the less geographically inclined of us thought it was a Converse shirt...
she was striking nonetheless...
EVERYONE knew who the Birthday Star was...


rene and kitying...
the two who are forever bickering...
it's damn funny really...
awhile before this photo...
probably long before...
Rene said something that made Kit want to step on her feet...
because Rene was sitting on the opposite side...
Kit slid lower in her chair and attempted to step...
she practically disappeared and her attempt was unsuccessful as well...
i concluded that it is usually near impossible to harm bday girls/boys in any way...


i must really learn to smile while keeping my eyes open...
GY said picture not nice coz my eyes so small...
*attempting to lick boots of bday girl*
i think Rene's smile very nice...
her mouth very small then quite cute...
(*pukes breakfast, lunch and dinner*)


start of the self portraits...


the bday brownie...
which was damn yummy by the way....
i'm sorry i ate so much of it!
and i seriously think she looks nice in this pic...
so nu3 ren2...
wahaahha!


the pufferfish shot...
and i think i am a blardy good photographer...


myself, rene and jie...
as you can see where we dined were in the midst of the shopping crowd...
so paiseh...
taking so many pictures...
making so much noise...
but truly...
only with friends as close as these can you go high on melted cheese and brownies...


and then we tried to do a group shot...
i think i secretly only wanted myself in the picture...


the waiter, though helpful, wasnt very proficient...
blur picture...
though nicely framed...


and so i tried again...
i cut of Jas' forehead...
and they werent very happy...


FINALLY!!!
save for my lack of a chin...
and very weirdly positioned head...
but everybody else looks great!


her presents from us....
"Hey Rene,
You're probably the first one of us 8 bballers to turn 21. Into adulthood, into
another phase of your life. Like I said on MSN just now. Even though we tease
you all the time about being immature, we all know deep in our hearts how wrong
that is. You're one of the bestest friends I've had in all my life. Going
through thick and thin, a couple of quarrels and all. But one thing i appreciate
the most about you is that you are always happy and that cheeriness is terribly
infectious. I'm sorry for not being a better friend over the years in JC and uni
in our different instuitions. For not doing as much as you have done for me over
the years. Simple things like travelling over to my side of the island just to
have Seoul Garden with me after school, or copying our mutual friends' contact
numbers by hand and mailing it to me when you learnt that i lost my phone.
Things no one else has ever done for me before and probably will not. I'm glad I
have you.
Happy 21st."
