One more shopping day to get the xmas present. I just keep forgetting about the present and thinking i have much time before xmas to do the shopping but i forgot we are exchanging on 4th dec (Thats like 3 wks before xmas!!!!!) ARGH THIS IS FRUSTRATING!!!!

Another activity that requires my creativity will be yy's birthday party on next sunday
with the theme 'song titles'. I was thinking of 'paparazzi' and then she gave the example of paparazzi hahahah. OH MAN HOW????

Luckily next sat jm's birthday doesn't require much creativity. I'll always be the one decising even though its his birthday HAHAHa.

I really love to play games with my exchange babes!!! =) Only they and my jc friends will love games much to frequent settlers cafe so often. Nice to see them bringing their respective bf or sibling today. Next time i'll persuade jm to join in haha.

Im very very very tired... thank you for the long weekend.

What should i get for my ntu classmates as xmas gift? argh hate to do shopping for this.

Havent felt that enjoyable to be in an audit team since a very long time ago. =)

Wee~~ Batam tmr with family!!

I'm still mad being unable to apply leave next wk. ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I'm mad with the one (not senior.. but manager!!) who is taking ages to fix an appointment.

BATAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first Batam trip HAHAHAHAHA

Birthday is over.. have to wait for another 365 days :(

Didn't feel very excited though, but at least i did feel like something worth celebrating.

Celebration plan was a little screwed up due to last min changes and also thanks to APEC!!! ARgh wanted to go suntec but road block and i insisted on jm to drive. In the end went to vivo but it proved to be quite a wrong choice =(

Thanks to my hall clique for celebrating it with me in the afternoon, although the gathering was not meant to celebrate my birthday. WE FORGOT TO CELEBRATE SIEW'S BIRTHDAY TOGETHER!!! Hers is just 10 days away from mine!!

Wanted to get a musical box, but can't find a nice one for months. Where to buy? Wanted to get a teddy bear as present, but jm says its too childish haha. Wanted to buy jigsaw puzzle, but thats like the standard present i get every year. So boring~

Therefore, my present is now KIV. Pending present from JM. To follow up.

It only comes once a year... I actually remembered my birthday every year. Some of the years are exceptionally memorable.

5th birthday - Dad bought me a musical box with the Swan lake music. I still have it with me, just that 1 of the 2 magnetic swans is missing HAHA.

6th birthday - Bro and sis bought me pencil case.

7th - Dad bought me monopoly board game. My first ever board game, and also my most favourite game. I got so excited that the moment I reached home I showed it to my neighbours who came to celebrate my birthday with me.

8th - yg's mum bought me a teddy bear, melissa's mum bought me a multi-storey Polly Pocket (sadly lost it while moving house). LM's mum bought me Keroppi full set art box.

10th - Spent in sch celebrating last day of class, which coincided with my birthday so the class got me a birthday cake =)

12th - Spent it on a sch excursion trip to sci centre. Watched an experiment which requested for a birthday girl/boy to do blow a fake cake. Kena sabo to blow the cake. The instructor even made them sing birthday song for me OMG

14th - Spent at cedar sports hall while having training.

15th - Moved house to the next door becos my house was about to go under renovation. I was very mad abt it becos I spent the whole day shifting stuff. My cedar t.t friends fixed this final fantasy jigsaw puzzle for me and carried all the way from Aijia's house to mine. Really touched but i didn't cry. I was just too mad with my family. Btw that day was deepavali.

My favourite month of the year :)

Sweet November~~

One thing which I really don't understand -- why are people drunk?

Great feeling to be in drunken stupor? Definitely not.

It seems scary that you either have no recollection of what had happened on that day, or you simply felt weak and lost control of your body, i.e. spending the night under the control of others and you not knowing what was going on. Trusting friends are there for you, but it does not always ensure 100% safety.

Being in good mood to drink more wine/volka/whisky/beer is not an excuse to be drunk, leaving the others trying to take care of the drunkens (although I won't mind taking care of the drunkens). Not only that, the family members will need to take care after that just because of the liquor.

I find those drinking games meaningless. They cause more trouble than fun, and I seriously dont find it fun when the 'victim' gets more and more drunk.

Can't one exercise self control even though its free flow of liquor?

First timers are excused, because they do not know their limits. People in really bad mood are also forgiven. But frequent drunkers are not to be forgiven.

Because I'm always sober, so that why I never truly enjoy the night as much as those who are drunk. I shall never really know how 'high' I can be, or how I may behave when I'm drunk. Maybe I really have missed out big fun. But still, I won't be drunk, and probably won't for the rest of my life.
