I believe it's never too late to blog about great things :D

Here was what happened on my Fourteenth of October, TwoOhOhEight.

I received a call from Jiashern at 1205am, and he sang me two lines of the birthday song and boo-boo-ed and let the cat out of the bag that I will see more than a group of three.

And so I did.
Saw a group of people ^^ at me as I walked past them completely.

We went up to Dempsey for food and Ice Cream.



this is zhiying and my smokin' turkey and mango sandwich, shiok :D

They made me go out and do funny things to stall time >: )



and this was what I saw when I went back in



my first try of ben&jerry waffle :)
(been eating baskets all the time)

Thank you YT, Zhiying, Yingnuo, Sarah, Mandark, Phyllicia, Natt, Terence and Allan :D



They look so happy together



nuo: come, come, shocked faces!





Thank you YT, Z Why, Yingnuo, Mandark (especially when you took time off yr work and met us on the bus, lol), Sarah, Phy, Natt, Terence and Allan :D

They got me this huge teal bag, love the colour!



Terence got me this box of candles with a wacky card, told me to use it for whoever's birthday next, because for his birthday we didn't have candles and I drew him some that time.





They look like chewy giant gummies :3



Thanks Z Why, YT and Nuo for the letters :D
And PHY, for your self baked cookies, sorry no photos..cause.. BURP!

(and anshin msn-ed me to say hi to you readers! *waves hi to imaginary group of crowd)

This is from dear YT, hand sewn pouch for my dear tablet (a present from the cg last year! :D)





marvel at her workmanship!

I can't ask for a better class. Thank you.
You guys are sweet :)

I then head off for Christmas meeting, which was actually...
a celebration. I cannot believe I really fell for it, and even printed the previous meeting minutes.

Sorry I could only make it at a funny time slot, and that's why only a third of the caregroup could make it:



This is quite a weird angled shot ._.

But I am overjoyed.
They got me a..





COLORSPLASH!

Lays will never say no to more film cameras.
Thank you all you who are going to chip in, lol.
I assure you the moolah you put in the bag has in exchange, given me priceless things like how my heartbeat quickens when snapping away, the delight of holding developed photographs in hand, the satisfaction when they turned out well...
it's like opening the present over and over again.

I am anticipating the book of cards :D

They headed off for the real meeting while I went to meet this same bunch for the 6th consecutive year on this date

The plan was picnic at Botanical Gardens, lol.



We ate all this up

were stupid and forgot to get a bottle opener,
and went around being innovative kids that we were trained to be, cough cough.



This was a random photo taken to avoid suspicions while we were innovating,



Everyone took a few sips besides the two who enjoys it more than the rest,
who drank a tad more.

And we went around snapping photos!
We do this all the time we meet, no idea why, just so..





















and whee, my soul left my body, lol.



Thank you every one of you :D



Special thanks to Panghuishan, who always take such good care of us, who took the smelly picnic mat home, who settled much of the presents and researched about food and all.. :)





We shared our birthdays this year,
the 14th and the 15th girls.



with all the lovely people.



Close friends give each other intimate things, LOL.
And yay, a bracelet that fits!

***

And after all this great things,
I went to my mailbox...
and saw a huge box with a very familiar handwriting,
and the dead giveaway of the sender's identity- wrong address. (again)
(because she has never stayed in a pigeon hole, and doesn't know how our address works, lol.)

My dear Pammie, thank you for this!






I took forever to get it right );



(please don't bother reading the smaller words, it's her words for me and I purposely made this photo small even when clicked to enlarge)

All of you made turning eighteen a joy :D
Thank you from the depths of my heart.

Love, Lays.
