My (awesome) Birthday!

*RINGGGG*

(I wake up to switch off my alarm that I initially set to 11.00 p.m)


*OH SHITTTTT, NOO!!!*


To my horror, it was already 3.00 am! I didn't stay up for my 18th birthday countdown! hahaha how bloody sad is that. I had a few long days prior to my birthday so I just had to sleep after Maghrib and was pretty confident of waking up before 12. Taie kau suf. Anyways, being half-awake, I was only able to read a few sms birthday greetings and all of them were very close to the stroke of midnight. Then *boom* I went back to sleep. But of course I replied once I woke up in the morning =) Thanks guys :D



My maths teacher, Mr. Stephen, wanted to throw a mini birthday party for Qawi and I. So yeah I was obliged to come to school although I was really malas too.

I came to school rather late, 10ish and when I arrived it was really quiet (with everyone else being in the audi). So I had my own quiet moment, by walking along my 'everyday' corridor, the one next to the SA section. I proceeded to my locker, for the last time. Sad huh =pI proceeded to the audi, where everybody was at that time. You bet I came right on time! Right on time for the ceremony's conclusion! I walked in with relative anonymity until Fatin spotted me. After a few more birthday greetings from me friends, the weird feeling of turning 18 finally sunk in for me.

Hafiz&DaGang sang me a 'special' birthday song and although I recorded it plus an encore version of the song, I won't post it. I mean there are underaged people reading this blog. Thanks anyways guys =p

Thanks to the people in the audi, Riki&friends, GDL-ers who sang me a birthday song! You guys SUCK, in a good way lah hahaha. No seriously, I really was touched and taken aback.


 
Then I went off to LT12 where Mr. Stephen wanted to throw the party. And guess what, he got Qawi and I a mango-cheese cake. MANGO-CHEESE cake?! Seriously, is that even edible? If it wasn't my birthday, I would've been on my way to the restroom to puke hahaha. So I forced myself to gobble up a slice - a huge slice I must say - of that...thing. That was really nice of you sir. Thanks again Sir! We will miss your bubbly presence next year.


This was when I got my first present of the day and...to who ever you are, I know you're reading this blog, I thank you :)







 
I decided to go the library after cam-whoring in the LT12 to meet up with Wanna and the others. AJ stopped me on my tracks to give me her present. Thanks AJ for the present and the game! I found the game really sweet and unique :D When I came in the library, they sang me the birthday song again! haha I was bloody touched and surprised alright!



I hung out with Fatin, Ina, Amin, Qamarul and the computer people in the ICT lab while waiting to go home. Since their teacher wanted some time alone with her students, I went off with (i forgot siapa =p) to Haziq&hisgang's party. By this time, the birthday song was already stuck on my head and yeah you guessed it, they sang it to me again! but damn it was still very touching haha. Most of them were done eating by the time I came in, no wonder they were high. Oh well, I'll let the pictures do the talking then!








 
Since Wardah and Muh couldn't make it for dinner, I decided to bring them out in the afternoon :) pizza hut! Pandai si Wardah atu pick places, di luar mall lagi tu, on a rainy day. Sense the sarcasm there haha. I had a great time with both of you! And thank you for the birthday cake surprise, that was WICKED!

After both Wardah and Muh balik, I went off to meet Vern who was happily window-shopping. Since it was still quite early, we sat down and had a good chat, kan vern? haha. It was raining outside so we had to endure the rain while walking to RMS Diners. Si Vern jaga rambutnya. hahaha nadadeh. I eventually stayed in RMS Diners from 6.30-11!

We started eating at 8, cos apparently my friends live in places that have a huge time difference to Gadong. haha kidding guys :p

Pictures!

 
Thanks to those who came and to those who embarassed me by singing the birthday song in public! Special thanks for the presents, you know who you are guys =)

25th & 26th

Wow, the last few days have been, have been long. Memorable. Awesome. Sad in some ways too. Brabis...hahaha. Im sorry for the lack of updates, my weekend is not over yet but since I'm awake now I think I oughta start updating yes? =)

But before that, I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who was there to celebrate with me, who greeted me, who gave me cards and presents, and to those who sang  birthday songs for me, you guys suck hahaha. In a good way of course! I'll touch on this on my next post :D

25th
Arguably the saddest day for students in MD, including myself too. The feeling of leaving MD didn't really sink in for me until...yesterday? I think I should go to school later, at least for a while. 

We had a mini-party thingy for my economics class. We've never really seen the emotional side of Mdm. Koh so it was pleasant to finally see a different side of her! And damn I'll be having new teachers for all my subjects next year:/

I think I shouldn't elaborate on what happened in the audi. After the urgent assembly that day, my maths class decided to drag our teacher, Mr. Stephen Chan to the ICT lab to show him a slideshow one of our classmate made since he's leaving to further his studies. It was all pretty emotional and yes I teared up since I had been holding it since the assembly haha.

A few of us stood up and gave short speeches but I don't think anything beats Mr. Stephen Chan's speech. He said the customary 'thank you to blablabla' before stopping dead on his tracks and cried. Man =\

26th
I spent the wee hours of that day making my speech. I was caught in a dilemma, I mean, it's my birthday eve and I'm soaked in the holiday mood thus I slacked off lah :/ but I don't like to lose haha. I thought I did a reasonably good job on my given topic and injected a lot of humour into a rather mundane topic.

Thanks for the support guys. You guys were ze bombbb! I can't blame the poor sound system since it was a handicap to all the speakers but my microphone stand was being moved around in the middle of my speech! Sigh. I personally detest the runner-up position as its..so close yet so far. 2nd place just means that you're the first loser hahaha.

Anyways congrats to the winner Alyssa, 3rd-placed Prashanth, Azeem and Rikianna. Alyssa did her 'job' (inside joke) well and deserved it. Prashanth's a very cool and laid-back guy hahaha was a pleasure hanging out with him. Goodluck for next year guys since both of you are staying in MD, but I'll be seeing you guys during BGIC! Wait, I just realised that all 5 of us are joining BGIC next year haha.

After the competition and all the formalities were done, I went  to the library and Wanna and her big-ass camera was there, so apa lagi =p

 

Once again thank you guys for all the support!

To be continued soon =)
