::yesterday was good friday... but not just any good friday, it was the best friday I had.. well, it didn't exactly went perfectly as I had dreamt, but close enough.. the day before had a few people backing out at the last minute, so I was quite disappointed.. on the flip side, went to K-Box for the very first time with my class... only know like less than 50% of the chinese songs they sang.. of course english songs are my cup of tea as the expression goes..
the day started off dreary, raining outside and I didn't feel like going out.. reached my aunt's place at 4.. the buffet people were already there and setting the buffet up.. hung around for awhile then my dad drove me to Kembangan MRT since it was still drizzling outside.. was there 15 mins earlier than what I told them to meet, so went to the nearby 7-11 to get some batteries.. and guess what, Alfred, Shaun, Yu Bin, Edison and Jason were there at the 7-11 also..
they waited at Kembangan Plaza while I went opposite to meet up with the rest.. saw Rommel and Linda first, then the rest started coming in.. Sean was also there, didn't know Linda is his classmate now, another weird coincidence with him.. the rain had stopped by the time everyone came.. walking there, everyone sorta banded off into their own groups, my current classmates, the CJ ppl (or pair I should say, only Rommel, Linda and Hannah from T24 turned up..) the Montfort ppl, the NTU attachement ppl, pri sch ppl (also another pair, Wei Hao and Yong Hong).. think I can easily draw a Venn Diagram, the groups like so distinct, with only a few overlap cases like Sean who would be under both CJ and NTU...
anyway, enough of me talking.. on with the pics..


the house..
in case you're wondering... yes, that is an indoor swimming pool... but quite risky walking past though as you can see from the narrow walkway..
had some introductions first... they didn't really seem interested to know each other though.. like sticking with the same group... there's hardly any interaction between the different groups.. I mean if it were me, I would definately mix around and get to know my friend's friends better.. like "hey, how's Jeremy in NY now..." or "so how did you get to know Jeremy?" don't see much of that happening..




the sumptous buffet..
then had buffet dinner next.. didn't really get to eat much, only like got one plate of noodles.. spent the rest of the time chatting, taking pics etc..
the different groups like went to different parts of the house to eat..


the Montfort people at the rooftop bbq area..


my NY classmates at the 2nd floor..


and the rest downstairs..
my aunt was generous enough to open a bottle of wine for us.. so had a little toast..


red red wine...
played Taboo afterwards.. which wasn't really sucessful.. like all the Montfort people would gang up and describe the words in "Gerald terms".. and obviously the rest don't have a single clue..
then Jack got 0621 to the rooftop area to dance our mass dance.. hahaa...


dance dance dance...
then got everyone downstairs to have cake... though the house is quite big, having everyone at a particular area quite squeezy..


me..
then had some group photos next..


Montfortians..


0621!


Family..
the coffee cake was nice.. then took more pics later on.. but I won't post it here... you'll find it on friendster...
to end off this extremely long post.. just wanna thank those that make my 17th birthday such a memorable one.. firstly, my auntie for letting us use her house as a venue.. all my friends who came.. in no particular order.. Wei Hao, Yong Hong, Ernest, Sean, Bernadette, Jeanna, March, Rommel, Hannah, Linda.. my Montfort friends, Lian Jie, Lampy, Yu Bin, Jason, Edison, Alfred, Wen Shao, Ming Wei, Shaun, Joachim, Dave, Desmond, Yong Liang, Bernard and Keck.. my NY classmates, Jack, Michelle, Angie, Yuan Ting, Yan Hao, Jin Hao, Tiat Ming, Jun An, Ji Bin, Min Jun, Tricia, Dwayne, Yong Huan, Joel, Ping Chong, Hek Ming, Sok Hua.. and last but not least, my family and cousins..
THANK YOU!
all those who couldn't make it but still wished me happy birthday.. Thank You.. I really appreciate it..
this day isn't about presents or cakes.. its about you guys, whether you were there or not, or somewhere in Canada, it doesn't really matter... they say friends make the person.. then I'm nothing without all you guys.. really grateful to have such a wonderful bunch of friends..
I couldn't ask for more..
