Popo turns... (we lost count :P)

what coincidence eh? my popo's bday is on CHRISTMAS EVE! (now that's something i didnt know! cause every year we celebrate according to the chinese calendar :D)
so this time, since popo was around in KL, we celebrated for her lo!




i kinda missed the popo-blowing-candles shot cause my flash a bit the slow :(
so i got her to ACT it.. but then ar... she was so confident in Sonee that she looked up another second later -.-
:D and finally! she got the rite pose :P

Popo with E E's family
popo and ah ma! my grannies =)

popo and us =)
finally... popo and ME! :D

I Wish-ed for Prezzies!

*teehee* who wouldn't? :P
this is a T-shirt in a can
Rita got it for me cause the face on the shirt made her think of me! *lalala*
one day i'll show u what Rita meant when she said that la k! :P

a necklace from sweetie Sab! =)

aih... this isnt exactly a birthday gift for me la...
my previous hp died due to the LACK OF SLEEP! aih... i dropped it from a pretty high spot.. say... from above my head? AIH!!!

so i got this 2nd hand hand phone from my dad... which is pretty new la.. BUT I WANT A CLAMSHELL PHONE!!! *sobs*
will put that on hold til i start working *sobs* cause knowing the clumsiness i'm capable of... like dipping my phone into curry... LALALA!
ya.. a clamshell phone mite not last long enuf for a school kid to write an essay entitled... "I was a Clam-Shell Phone" in NOT LESS THAN 300 WORDS. AIH!!!
so yes.. i cant afford to get myself a new phone each time i clumsily spoil it while i'm still studying can i? (to those of u that secretly admire my long fingers for i-have-no-idea-what reason... be thankful for wat u have k! :P)

i got a blanket too from my aunt.. it's quite comfy, not too warm, just nice to keep me warm on rainy days =) which means every day in the current month la.. *teehee*

will take a pic of it soon! :D

I Wish-ed

ha! this blog has been filled with the birthdays Dot has celebrated for her antiques and sweeties... WHAT HAPPENED TO HER OWN BIRTHDAY?

*teehee* i was waiting for my lazy fingers to snap pics of the prezzies that i've received (altho they arent that many... *HINT!!!* but yea.. still lazy :P) so i kinda decided to post these up 1st la... since i'm now in yet another lazy mood to do my assignments! :P

while i was in Kota Bahru... leaving perhentian *floods desktop with tears* Grace msged me and asked if we could meet up with Tay Jo and Daryl for dinner.. i didnt know what time i will be back in subang.. so i had to decline la... :(

BUT! nonetheless... my genius-ness! (it's the age la :P) i suggested we meet for yum-cha session la.. she and the rest agreed :D

i had a yummy-licious dinner that nite in Bandar Puteri, Puchong! i love i love "Ha Kou" it's those flat prawns.. dont know what they're called.. lalala :P but yes! they were soO gooOD!! and we had this pot of i-cant-remember-what-curry-was-it-again Curry! it was... to add-another-bowl-of-rice FOR! but i didnt la... the tastebuds were willing, but the stomach was weak (more like expanded beyond expension tho! :P)

so yes... got home only to remember that.. YA HOH! i'm still supposed to go out to meet Grace and gang! so went to shower (with a proper heater this time! Praise the Lord! :P) and dragged my tired body out of the house...

to find that...
MOST of my cellies actually turned up to celebrate my birthday with me!!! :D
from where the flash hit: Julian, Leeza, Jo.G (after a tired day of work), Jo.G's man- Gerard :P and Ah Pa!!-Daryl (long story where he got that from :P)

Viv was there too!
well.. i kinda knew she would be there cause she told me.. C u later! while we were texting b4 yum-cha session.. hehe!

Spot the siblings:

Leeza! u are becoming like ur BROTHER!!!
i will NOT let that happen!!! :P

hehehe!

that i believe is Grace's finger.. u'll see why...

looking at Max's camera-phone =)


Dot: whoa! the candles quite hot ar...
Grace: ya lo... it's melting the cake! so hurry up and blow it!
:P

Jo.G looks so happy here! :D

Dot: ok ok.. before my cake gets torched...

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
thanks for celebrating me Birthday with me!
MUAX!

1 BIG candle pls =)

yippee! Cousin Joel Tan turned 10! (well.. actually his bday's on the 8th of Oct la.. but since today's a Sun, we decided to throw a surprise party for him =) )

Cousin Milton doing the dangerous work... (cause Cousin DOT!!! had to do the hard work.. PUMPING balloons are like doin push ups man! for Dot that is :P)

Nick did the easy job la.. cause he claims his fingers are too big to tie the balloons -.-
so he HELPFULLY held on to the balloons while Ah Cheng Cheh Cheh (his mom) tied the balloons with string...

the proper tying of the balloons were done by Janice, Milton's gf :D
i always have this belief that... mother materials must be able to tie balloons, while father materials must be able to blow up FLOATS... those used for swimming!
so are YOU a mother/father material (based on Dot's Parenting Skills Yardstick :P)

hehe! i did some dangerous work too! i had to climb on a not-so-stable-looking stool to put those balloons there!

:D the Birthday pressie my bro and i got for Joel (ATBT! u havent paid me!!!)

see the not-so-stable-looking stool?
i had to use that a few times le... STRESS! :S

:D
non of us cousins had so much work done for us on our 10th bday k!
KIDS THESE DAYS!!! :P
cousin Milton even got those Happy Birthday flags!
Uncle Lawrence said it looks like HARI SUKAN now! hehe!

yea! and the Birthday boy came finally! :D
(if u noticed.. i had to change... cause i was sweating!!! -.-)

the cameraman *cough* nick *cough* aih...
actually not his fault la.. he just doesnt know Sony doesnt work well under bad lighting.. and he didnt know how to on the flash ><"

Nick, age 14 and Mel, age 13 calls Joel, age 10 UNCLE!

With daddy, Uncle Robert

ha! see... cam-whoring DOES run in our family! :P

oh oh! wat do u think... dont they look like SISTERS?
in brown's Janice, Milton's gf as mentioned before, the super keng cheh cheh that can tie balloons!

our family has soO many similarities la...
these are all the OCTOBER babies! :D
Cousin Evelyn (23rd), Aunt Nancy (1st), Joel (8th), Uncle Robert (15th)

hehe! after putting up... must take down la...
was kinda heartaching that i have to throw the balloons away... they still look so colorful and pretty!!!
so i kinda brought back some for the kids at home! :D

oh ya! bout the title... hehe! i went to collect the cake.. and the lady asked me.. how many candles?
hmm... i tot... it'll be nice to have 10 candles.. better lighting ma! :P
