______________________________________________

Okie, before I go any further, I wanna say a huge "THANK YOU" for those who had sent me SMSes, called me from here-and-there, dedicated a blog entry for me (Luuee ,Karen & Christina) , changed your MSN nick for me, and all those I-Owe-You meals you'd promised to belanja.

And one more thing.. Know what people, I share the same birthday as LSM! Surprising leh.

I'm counting the number of people I know who are also November Babies...Damn banyak leh! The only reason that can explain this is because:

Nine months before November, that is at the month of February, normally is the month when we celebrate Chinese New Year. Probably our parents were more "free" that time to make babies so the birth rate in November & December are more than other months.

(It's just a stupid analysis from me, you don't have to believe that lah)

As plan earlier on, I spent my birthday eve in Miri with Bobby, and birthday night wih my besties in Brunei.

Poor Bobby had to drive from Miri to Seria, picked me up from my place, bring me to Miri again. Then the next day, bring me back to Seria and go back Miri alone today. (Girls, find boyfriend must find like this one)

Once I hopped in the car, I saw a plastic bag of shirts and towel inside, and asked Bobby,

Me: Why you bring your own baju and towel oh? Tomorrow you baru overnight at my place laa.
Bobby: Ya lah.. I forgot liao. I keep on thinking today is Sunday and I'm staying at your place. And some are the dirty clothes that I want you to help me wash.
Me: Ah? Why like that...? Ok lor.. I wash lor.

And off we go, to Miri (so-called) City!

Once we arrived Miri, we didn't dropped by Bobby's place first. Instead, we went to the town to help my mum to pay some bills. But then, we're late and the shop closed already. Then Bobby was using the Pujut road and I felt strange.

Me: Why are we using this road? Kan we going to the airport road?
Bobby: This road is faster mah.
Me: But we're not going to pay the bills liao bor.
Bobby: No ah, we're going to find the restaurant to dine in tonight.

And I saw some bush fires along the road, near
Eastwood Valley Golf & Country Club.


Me: Eee, got fire eh.
Bobby: A lor. (Turning in to Eastwood)


Me: !!! Why are you turning into Eastwood? You want to see the fire ah?
Bobby: Ya lor.
Me: Ha? Chi sin one ah you? (Thinking Bobby is stupid & jobless)
Bobby: No lah.. We're going to Eastwood restaurant to eat.
Me: WHAT? I'M NOT GOING THERE BEFORE I SHOWER AND GET DRESSED UP LAH!!!
Bobby: (Stop car engine) Hehe. Nope. We're here to check-in our room.
Me: !!! We're staying here tonight?
Bobby: Yeap. More privacy isn't it. I want to pamper you like a Princess tonight. Actually I salah already, should have check in earlier then terus bring you into the room. But I woke up late.
Me: -__-" (Feel sweet inside but the face still blur) So, all the things you say what what want me to wash your baju and so on, is tipu me one la?


Coincidentally, some school in Miri was celebrating their anniversary there too. Thus there's a lion dance performance and teens who dressed like a soldier waiting to perform kua.

I did asked for permission before I took those photos mind you.

Here, some pics of the wooden hut we're staying.


Seriously Rebbe, I think you'll like it. You ever played golf there?

Unload our stuffs, shower and get ready for dinner.

Random pics

We'd ran out of ideas where to eat, and Bobby suggested Al Fresco, the place near to the where most of the pubs and discos are located.

(Bobby called that area "Sin City")

I know some of you might be complaining hungry when you see the photos of food. To solve the problem, you can:
1. Go cook Maggie Mee now
2. Go drink Milo or water, or the best is..
3. You eat before reading my blog.

Hahaha. Just kidding lah~


After dinner, we realised it was still early. So we plan to go catch a movie, without knowing the schedule. And we picked this..


I'd read a bit about this movie thru Sing Yin's blog, looks interesting tho.

We still had 50mins to kill before the movie, so we went to Coffee Bean.

The movie was pretty cool. Can't wait for the second one.

It was already 1.30am when we finished the movie. I can't wait to see my card and gift liao!

But still, Bobby make me read the updates of the journal first. Gah.. This is torture!


Finally! Dang Dang Dang Dang~ My Card!


So pretty right? Bobby has topped me again!


On the left of the card, there are little envelopes with messages inside and a pop-up cake on the right hand side of the card.

So Pretty... (Someone save me! I'm drowning in Love)

And you think I only "received" on my birthday? You're so damn wrong.

I made a "Thank You" card for Bobby. Sweet huh?



I know, the card Bobby made looks better than the one I made. Boo.

Oh Oh. I forgot. Here, my birthday gifts from Bobby if you kaypoh wanna know.

Crown and shoe necklaces. I feel so much like a Cinderella now.

* * * * *

Cock-A-Doodle. Wakey Wakey. Was forced to wake up as the SMS alert of my phone keeps ringing. Thanks people, you who remembered my birthday and send me a text.

Bobby and I wanted to check out the gym room, jacuzzi and sauna room that's not far from our hut.

We're still in our sleeping gear.

See, he's so much fairer than me, and his legs too.. smaller than me.
Wanna die liao.. Lucky his tummy is a lot bigger than mine. =p

And also take somemore pictures around the place.

We don't feel like we're actually in Miri. It's really nice, and cheap too. One bad thing, the location, it's far from the town.

Again, we ran out of idea where to eat breakfast. We're just roaming around the town, till we saw the old town of Miri, half demolished, half renovating. Then we decided that we want to eat the old-style kolomee in those old-old kopitiam.

And Bobby brought me here.


I took my camera out and snapped pictures, and Bobby said,


Malunya.. I terus off my camera and sit quietly.

So nice got boil Green Bean and the kolomee was really really nice. Reminds me of the old Seria one before they turn into halal one. Seria kolomee is just not Seria kolomee anymore.

Bah, my Miri trip finished here.

When we're on our way back to Brunei, look at the traffic!

The queue was as long as 200M. Gila man..

* * * * *

Got back home, shower then rush to KB for dinner with the girls, and guys.

Must wear my birthday gifts eh.

Stupid pose I know

Here, there's only 8 of us. I just wanted a small gathering with the closest friend.

If only Chaiwen (my best friend) was here too.. Sigh~

Here peeps, look at what Mabel had made for me!

You can always see the little one in gift shops. But this, this is a BIG one! Made for me, ME ONLY! On the crown, there'a a "Happy Birthday" and a little "K" button.

Cool? One and only one in this world leh~

Seriously, I was surprised & amzed! I know Mabel can make smaller one, but most of the voodoo dolls she made ah, instead of round, the head is always long and thin.

This is Mabel's first voodoo doll

Me: Is that a Haji?
Mabel: It's a BOXING voodoo doll!

My second gift, Cellnique sebum gel.

And Theen baked me a yummilicious cake!

I'm the happiest birthday girl in the whole wide world yesterday!

My mum was asking why the cake looks like a spiderweb and also the "SpiderKing" on the cake.
Err... How to answer that?

My face damn big in the video. Maybe you don't understand why I was laughing so hard. Here, I explain..

There was another guy celebrating birthday in the same restaurant as me. And they had already sing birthday song before me. And I was like, "Eh.... My birthday also leh. Later you all have to sing louder ah, I must not lose to him one". Now you know why they called me "Kiasu King" leh.

Sekali when they bring the cake out, the restaurant played a kid's version of birthday song! Wah lao eh! KID'S VERSION! So malu eh, like Swee Leong say, lucky we're not wearing any party hats, if not really like kid's party liao.

"Hahahha! I win liao ! I got birthday song!"
I was saying that in the video if you all can't understand Mandarin.


Hu~ The cake is super-dooper delicious! Really, better than the bakery one! See, I got two friends here ready for kahwin already. Do house chores, can cook, can bake, can do handicrafts!

Walking out the restaurant, guess what's on TV, I mean HBO?

Muahahhahahahaha!! Spider-man 2

So ngam!

Oh, that's not all dear people, I still got one BIG present which they haven't bring down yet..

Why? Cos it's BIG!

An Electric Oven!

People, this is not a prank. I seriously wanted an oven, so that I can bake cake, cookies, pizza, cheese bake potato with bacon (I created myself), lasagna (recipe from Mabel) and not forgetting the chips, fish fingers and so on that I can pop into the oven without pan fry!

(Oh, I forgot to mention that Mabel baked me two tray of lasagna, one with meat and the other one is vegetarian one, for my mum. Sweet hor?)

Damn, I got a bad feeling that I'm going to be super-FAT!

Lastly, a HUGE hug to my girlfriends who made it all happen.


Love you all. Mum, Bobby, Theen, Kelly, Mabel, Sweeleong and Mr.Ten for coming.

It was my happiest day!

It'll be perfect if Wen was there.. I miss you 48.
