Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays

Goodness, did I tell you how much August costs every year? LOL... joking joking. Anyway, as you know, this weekend everyone seems to be celebrating their birthdays! Lets start one by one.

GKho's birthday was celebrated on 5th August which was on Friday. So we all went to Oregano (at Travillion, behind Prudential) for dinner. The menu, chicken or fish. Anyway, got there around 7ish and apparently, a lot of people were late (grr.. you know who you are!) so the food was delayed. Haven't really explored the place properly so Brandon, GLiew and I started walking around and we thought we'll just pop into The Rock Shop. As most of you should know, The Rock Shop is a really well known boutique and their main, or should I say most frequented (?), outlet is at Kuching Plaza. Specializing in Ah Beng and Ah Lian apparel. So anyway, went in and the owner, Alan, started enlightening us about the line of jeans he carries, Lavine Jeans, is his own (his sister's name is Lavine) and he has a factory that makes them in Guang Zhou (I was pretty impressed). Lavine Jeans is also quite well known in Kuching as it is decent priced (ranging from RM75 to about RM90) and quality, and I have to admit, most of their guys jeans are quite nice. So he was just telling us all this when all of a sudden he said to me and Brandon in Hokkien, "Both of your jeans colour is so 6 years ago! If you were this back then it would be considered fashionable but now, its out of style la." So Brandon and I were like thinking "wtf?!?!" but both found it quite funny at the same time. A total stranger coming up to you and telling you your jeans are out of style. Apparently, GLiew won because the colour of his jeans were only so 1 and a half years ago. Anyway, I reckon I might go back there again. Guys, if you're looking for decent priced jeans, I recommend The Rock Shop. Try your best to ignore all the Ah Beng accesories around you and you'll be just fine! So slightly bedazzled (LOL), we went back to Oregano. At last the food came. Was kind of disappointed at the food ler. Thank God I didn't order the chicken. It tasted so...... normal. Nothing to hoo haa over. But the fish was quite interesting. The sauce was some tangy, creamy substance and at least it was slightly different. So by then, everyone started arriving. So before the desserts, all the guys (think of the basketball team and some from here and there) and I were talking and suddenly someone said the word park. Then Kun being the retard he is said Parkson. The Sime suddenly said car park, and I said parking. Kun again said Parker pen followed by Peter Parker and Parkinson. By then, it was already a full blown game between the three of us and it started getting ridiculous with words like parktoh, bola separk, parkpoh (suppose to be bakpoh), lepark. We soon felt it was really dumb so we stopped. The chocolate pudding thing arrived and it was quite alright. GKho's Neopolitan cake was nice. Hehe.. most of us had at least 2 helpings. So by then everyone left and Brandon, Sime, Jack, Jason, Andrew, Lik, Kun and I were the last few. Couldn't make up our minds so we walked around to check out what shops there were. Ended up lepark-ing (pardon the pun) around there and talking. So Sime finally sent me to town and I guess they all went to Lik's house to play.

Fast forward to the 6th which is Saturday. Hehe... Today Deanne and Lik celebrated their birthday at Deanne's house. So at a little pass 6, Jack picked me up and we went to her house. BRANDON SIA IS A DAMN KIASU. He brought his Econs book to a birthday party! Loser :P The party was quite fun. The food was from Rock Road Seafood and the prawns were the best ler. So anyway, I discovered I'm related to Deanne! After all this years of being friends only now then I knew. Was flipping through her photo albums when I came across a picture of these 3 girls which I knew were my second cousins. Then I saw another which was taken with Deanne, her sister and a few of their cousins which I recognized. So I asked Deanne how was she related to them and apparently they're her second cousins too! I don't know which side la, but for me, they're related to me through my dad's side. The world officially grew smaller. So during dinner, Ian and I had our food and we thought we'll be smart and sit on the swing! But it was so dark we could barely see what we were eating! Then we finally emerged from the dark to get more food and apparently, we missed out a few bits of food here and there. Hehe... after our second helping, we became more civilised and sat at the table with Lik's mum. Grodon, Ian, Lik and I started exchanging cheap jokes and we were laughing so much Lik's mum was so worried we'll choke. Oh yea, I played Prince Of Tennis (?) for the first time. Teamed up wif Chiang and he kept tiu-ing me when I missed a shot. So boh hau siaw wan la this game. Think along the lines of Shaolin Soccer but this time, it's tennis with super power. I had no idea why the guys loved it. So after I lost the second time, went downstairs to mingle mingle mingle with people. Brandon merajuked because I hid his Econs book. So the cake cutting was a havoc. Hehe... everyone was shouting for everyone and it was so hot because there was so many people. Took lots of group pictures. Felt like it was some paparazzi ambush. Four five camera flashes going off simutaneously. Then chun chun Rodney and Clarence arrived. So we sang Happy Birthday (like... 5 times) and when the we reached the line "Happy Birthday to...", everyone tried cramping "Rodney, Lik Hui, Deanne, Clarence" into it. Try it try it. Sing the Happy Birthday song and when you reach that line sing "Happy Birthday to Rodney, Lik Hui, Deanne, Clarence" and make sure you sing the names in one breath. Funny la. After cutting the cakes, Deanne took a personal picture with Grodon (they're so sweet together la) and we forced Lik Hui to take a picture with Phey Feng. She's really sporting hor. Fun leh people like that. Lik Hui was so red. But I guess he finally got his Birthday wish *wink*. So I left not long after the cake cutting. Overall, it was fun. By next year I don't think we'll be able to do anything like this again.

I don't have pictures because my camera is in ICU but I'll try get them from others and post a few memorable ones up. Hehe.. Happy Birthday to all of you ler and hope you guys had fun!
