My 21st Birthday Bash!

Ahh, so they say, you’re only 21 once. Not the usual tradition to celebrate my birthday ala any grand methods, I decided to ask my mum to open up the house for a belated birthday bash. (I had a progress test on the 8th of February)

On the 11th of February, a total of 34 guests turned up at my humble home, which consists of both ACCA old and new batch, high schoolmates and also churchmates. I think this was the 1st time I had THAT many guests in my house, hopefully it wasn’t too stuffy for any of the guests.

I was lucky to have the services of both Eugene and Christopher to take on the roles of official photographers, only that it was all done using my kuchimeow Nikon D40! As compared to the giant gears both of them are used to using. =P

The Old Man, as everyone called me. or 老人家 as my mum labelled me that day. LOL! You know, I never knew how the cake got there without me noticing anything, not to mention the size of it. Its either I’m really blur or my parents are good at keeping it out of my sight!

As the food was served on the table, we gathered around for the traditional birthday song! Somehow, I wasn’t always used to being in the limelight, but surprisingly I was actually glad I could celebrate my 21st with these bunch of close friends.

SMK USJ 12! =D

Sunway ACCA! =D

FGA USJ IMPACT! =D

Nothing beats having the sounds and laughters of your fellow friends to usher in the 21st year of your life! So yea, anyway thank you all for coming once again.

While everyone continue to dig into the food (oh my mum signature Nasi Lemak! Andrea was waiting for it after 2 years. LMAO!), I went around to take pictures!

My favourite lecturer back in CAT, Ms. Gita! Its amazing how we could still keep in touch till now, that I’m doing my final two papers in ACCA. She taught me in my 1st semester of CAT! Can you imagine how long ago was that? I’m glad we still keep in touch after so long. =D

After some time, I realise some of the ACCA bunch were planning something in my kitchen, since I was kinda restricted from even stepping near the kitchen. My goodness! Well I kinda know they were going to do something to me, just didn’t know what, what more when Sue popped a question during dinner time, “Nick, you gotta promise me you’ll be sporting tonight!”. That just didn’t sound good at all man LOL!

When I was halfway mingling around outside, Ding Yan emerged from within the house, singing the happy birthday song, with a plate of cream and a candle sticking out.

You know… it was actually pretty obvious what I was gonna get. That was the exact same thing I said. HAHA!

I just didn’t have any idea how the execution was gonna take place. Whether I’ll take it point blank at my face, or any other disgusting means you could think of. Only thing that followed was, Melody creamed my face. I mean… okay that’s not so bad, considering what I had in mind.

Then, Melody and Ding Yan started arguing. Seemed like some failure in coordination. Oh well, that didn’t really matter to me, I have more than enough time to make a counter attack. XD I instantly grabbed a handful of cream and WHAM! all the way onto Ding Yan’s face. and of course I got it back in return too HAHA!

… and everyone started screaming and ran away from the both of us. Typical. HAHA! Everyone was afraid we might smack our hands onto anyone near us.

Both of us cleaned up after the ordeal. And I couldn’t take the smell of cream thats starting to make my whole body feel sticky, so I went to change my clothes. Good thing Ding brought an extra clothing too (wonder if he kinda knows he’ll get something like this xD).

Everyone went back to doing their thing. The weather was extremely hot though, it was as though all of us were chatting in an oven, despite the ceiling fan outside and air-conditioned inside.

This is EPICNESS! – Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil!

The DSLR Trio, as Pei Yi named us long long time ago.

This picture does tell a story on its own. Hehe, I’m just glad everything is resolved now. =D

Not forgetting OurCoffeestops authors! though missing a few. =)

My highschool buddies, Vincent and Kim Leong! Classmates since Form 1 to Form 5. =D

The beloved sister, Riley managed to come for my 21st birthday bash! =D

The main photographer for the night, Eugene Lee Eu-Juin!

There were times I stood and look at everyone and I thought to myself. How amazing human ties can be. You know, some of them that I grown close to, if not for a significant event I wouldn’t even have gotten any opportunity to know them.

Take Eugene for instance, if not for prom, and not for me asking Christopher for assistance to take on the jobs of the Official Photographer, I wouldn’t even have met him. If I hadn’t known him, I wouldn’t even have any chance of knowing Su Yi, considering she’s a junior in ACCA. Of course, I wouldn’t have also known Jason Goh (smashp0p.net) and many others. (Just incase he reads this and sound me for not highlighting him again LOL!)

Truly, God is great. I really thank Him for all the friends He has placed in my life.

Some of them decided to stay indoors, thanks to the blazing heat outside. What else other than Monopoly Deal to keep themselves occupied? XD

Meet my nanny, Lydia.

Apparently I was discharged that night itself. Haha!

Sue (or Suet Yee), the brains behind the whole face creaming thing. =D

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING ONCE AGAIN! Thank you for the gifts, some of them were really unexpected. I teared when I see some of them, really touched. Some of them wrote me love letters, haha. Its the heart that counts at the end of the day!

Lastly, thanks, Melody. for everything. =)

So, here’s to the ultimate legal age of 21!
