Ready?

I have so many things to say that I don't even know where to start! =D

Chau Mc Dotty was asking me what's my plan tonight and I told her I'll just stay at home, continue edit my pictures and blog. See, this is what a committed birthday blogger do for her 114 comments.

Okay now now, where to start?
Bah.. from the moment I arrived BSB and checked in hotel then.

Orchid Garden Hotel

I reached BSB (Bandar Seri Begawan) at around 3.00pm, got stuck in the damn traffic for 30 minutes and finally found a parking at 3.30pm. Went to Gadong to hunt for Brother Hong's birthday gift and tried out the toothsome double chocolate gelato. *Hallelujah* Finally checked in the hotel at 5.00pm, unpacked, took a short rest and showered.

Hotel Lobby

Thank you Simpur once again. With the blogging competition I wouldn't be able to stay at the junior suite for FREE! I asked the receptionist and she told me my room actually cost about BND230.00 after discount.

Pffttt.... That gotta be one of the most expensive birthday gift I ever had. Okay la, I know its my prize and not my birthday gift, but I prefer to think of the later. Another reason to make me smile on my birthday.

In our room

And Alex dropped by to take a quick shower.

I was like a mother! I kept urging Bobby to change, Alex to shower because I need the bathroom to put on makeup. Where as that two guys just couldn't stop talking about sports, studies, future planning, etc etc. Gah!

When I pushed again, Alex asked why couldn't I just use the mirror hanging in the room, why must I use the bathroom to put on makeup? Hello, I need white lights la, putting makeup on with a pale yellow light is almost equal to makeup suicide. The color no chun lah. Later look like Furong Jie Jie or 如花 how? Guys, they just don't understand.

I totally had no chance to interrupt them because I didn't understand what they're talking. The least I could do was....

All ready to go!

(Pic taken while Alex was in the shower)

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

I threw a tiny birthday bash at Capers and invited a small amount of people because it was quite last minute. Turn out I made the right decision because my guests had really good appetite that day! Especially the "K" couple. She ordered sampai she had no idea what to order next because she already tried everything on the menu! Ganas!

Birthday Girl and friends

So many bloggers have you spotted?
There's a total of 9 and let's see if you can name all. =p

My darlings and boyfriends
If you had been following this blog long enough, it won't be a problem to name them

L-R: James, Theen, Bobby, King, Kelly and K.L.

Mr. Luuee (second left)

He was the second to arrive that night.... I think? Because I was late... No thanks to that 2 guys. And he need no introduction to my friends because he already know who were them through my blog. He went like, "Theen, Theen's boyfriend, Kelly, Kelly's boyfriend." Steady eh, really got read my blog one.

(The above were told by Theen because I didn't have much chance talking to him. Bobby and him were busy sharing food and thinking what to order next. What to do, he's my boyfriend's boyfriend when he's in Miri.)

Hair and Chewing Gum
Annoying yet inseparable

*cough* Youstilllowememybirthdaypresent *cough*

Its bad when I get too close and comfy with friends. Like Ness, when she appeared in the restaurant the first question that popped out from my mouth was, "Eh? Mana my present?". Too bad she sat too far from Mau, Tina and I else we could discussed more about Girly Bloggers Night Out 2007.

Yes people, we're going to have another gathering!
Happy? I know I am pretty excited lah.

Glamourous Bloggers
The infamous Maurina and Tina

Maurina was damn funny when she winked at Rano and asked him to vote for her! Hahhahahhha!!! And thanks Tina babe, for picking up Mau. Seems like its big news for Mau to arrive on time, as per Rano.

Thanks for being punctual, unlike someone (points below)

CookieMonzters

He was late for an hour plus and he said he's on a diet.
K-A-N-A-S-A-I

(He complained he looked like a stalker in the above photo but this is my blog, I post up photos that I look good in it. Muahahahaha! Plus, you cannot request so much since you're late and didn't even finish eating that cake of mine! Humpphhh!)



That CookieMonster had the nerve to eat just a spoonful (teaspoon somemore!) of my cake and later pushed the plate to me. Said he's on diet and tummy didn't feel right. Eh, me BIRTHDAY GIRL LEH!

Maybe after seeing his reason you think its excusable. But what if I tell you that guy went to watch football match and BBQ at the beach again after leaving my party?

Had the cheek to tell me that somemore the next morning.

Hoi, you're a food blogger. You're excuse to be FAT and you can't choose what to eat and what not to eat because its your duty to let us know.

Outsider (me) and a happy family

Eshyn totally stole my focus away! Everyone just want to talk to her and win her heart so that they can hug her. And Orange mummy said I MUST post these pictures up so that Eshyn can appear in my blog.

Me: Come, lets take photo together before you go.
Orange: Eshyn, tell Ah King Yi-Yi to post the photos up her blog ah so everyone can see Eshyn cute cute.
Me: -____- " So young already teach this kind of thing.

And when people complimented that Eshyn is very adorable, that thick-skinned mummy answered, "Look like mother mah~".

Kek-tiok! (Inner injury)



*melts*

And Kelly kept urging us to have babies so that she can have fun with them, especially to Theen. Well, if guarantee my anak got so cute I don't mind oh. After all, the process won't be the problem =p Its the wedding that is troublesome.

(Look at mirror then look at Bobby)

With eyes like that, how to have baby with super big and round eyes leh? *sigh*

Jamilla, or Xiang which I'm used to calling her

Am so not used to her newly permed hair. She was quiet that night yet talkative when it comes to blogging and commenting. Split personality ah? Just kidding. Unlike me, loud in my blog... even louder in real life.

My beloved brother
Hong-Hong kor kor

(Purposely stood behind him so that my face will look smaller)

It was his birthday that night yet he made it for my celebration. And he seek for a lot of advice when it comes to buying gifts for me. Tell me where to find a friend cum big-brother like that?

His birthday is 2 days ahead of mine. And everything when my mukatembokities strike, I'll shamelessly "remind" him that my birthday is coming. Then he'll counter back by saying his birthday is 2 days ahead of mine, so what am I getting him first. Cheh.

And... the clumsy me just need to create some troubles to him. I spilled a glass of water and wet his pants. He claimed, "Why accidents always happen when you're beside me?". Don't say till like I'm a broom-star can?

Miss Spiritual Garden and Mr. Rano

It was really nice of him to turn up that night as we all know, he's super busy. And when he arrived with his DSLR, everyone silently put our slim compact lousy digital cameras back into our bags.

Mr. Seipokai!

By the way, those flowers are not from him.

The guy who walked in my hotel room with a bottle of wine wrapped in newspaper. Kept telling me "Still early laaaaaaaa..." whenever I asked him to quick go shower, and stop talking crap with my boyfriend.

But I must treat him nice because this guy came all the way from Temburong! Well, his main aim was to send the car for servicing... and soon-pien attend my party one. Or its the other way round I don't know.

On the night before my birthday bash,

Me: You better call NBT and make an appointment for your car service. Who knows later they have too many cars and can't do yours.

Alex: My father told me that I just need to say that I come all the way from Temburong and terus masuk workshop liao one.

Me: Wah lau... Like that also can. -_____-"

Fellow Toyota and Lexus drivers of Brunei, now then you know why it took so long to service your car. Just kidding NBT, don't sue me please.

Sekali, NBT was closed that afternoon! HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAA! Nah see, don't listen to me like that one lor.



Last but not least, my favorite guy in the whole wide world. The guy who would spend time making me cards, drove all the way from Miri or BSB just to see me. The guy who gets really happy when seeing me eating (?!) The guy just let me lepas geram on him whenever I'm in a foul mood. The guy who whispered "I love you", kissed my forehead and make sure all my limbs were covered underneath the blanket. =)

My Ah Pui

Sometimes I felt that he's more "famous" than me because there's more people telling him "You're Bobby! Nonnie's boyfriend!" or "I read your girlfriend's blog" than people coming straight up to me telling me that.

Good also, at least I have a lot of spies and paparazzi helping me spy on him if he (dare to) cheat on me next time. Just kidding laaaa~

* * * * *

And if you're wondering where's SL that night...

Don't say liao lar, that guy and me not friends anymore =p

Groupies without SL

I text him a couple of days before my birthday telling him to make himself free on the night and come makan, else that's the end of our friendship. He replied, "Then ah, really have to end liao.", "You better get me a really good gift in Singapore I tell you."

>.<

SL: Hey, guess who I saw at the airport. xxxxxxx
Me: Ya, heard that she went there few days ago. And wth is my birthday greeting?!
SL: Not yet 12.00am what. Still got time.

Guess what, the guy never text me after that! Pfftttttt!
You say I angry or not.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Random pictures for the night

My Ice Cream Cake

I was expecting Theen to bake one for me, guess its the same thing for what that happened to Kelly's. 失败 liao. And I think I'd asked Theen umpteen times what happen to my cake and she just never answered me back. o_O

It's not a secret that I'm not a cake lover, so this ice cream cake is perfect! I can see most people ate the ice cream and left the sponge cake. Hahahhahah! Just like me.

My super good and kind friends helping me to serve

Plus Orange's husband. I was too busy talking that I forgot to take a picture of him.

I know that two girls are going to kill me for posting the above picture up because both of them "joi-miu-miu" (mouth senget senget) there spoil their images. Eh, I just realized both of them wore stripes that night. One rainbow zebra and one black zebra =p

(I'm so getting killed after Kelly read this post. If you guys see me not updating my blog, you know what happen to me lah.)

Finally, back to the hotel room after the dinner.
Its gift unwrapping time!

*Kweng Kweng Kweng*

While I was humming happily arranging my gifts on the table, feeling excited to unwrap one by one up, the two guys just couldn't bother to answer me because they're too busy watching Man-U V.S. Arsenal.

Oh, Alex was there again because he need to buang air besar, and watch the match.



(Unwrapping gifts and sitting by the table alone)

Me: Wah! So nice! I like!

Them: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Phewwww.......Lucky!

Me: This is so cute!

Them: GO! GO! GO! GO! Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Bi, come see this! So cool!

Me: . . . .

Me: EH! NO ONE LISTENING TO ME IS IT?

Them: !!@*&$@^@&^&*%#^#^@^**&(%&$~~!!!!! (A long string of foul words when Arsenal had a goal few minutes before the game ended)

Bleh, ignore them.
Let's see what I got this year.

Oh ya, am not going to say who gave me what here. In case some people think its rude to do so.

* * * * *

Flowers

It was really sweet of her to leave the flowers in the restaurant. I was really surprised when the waitress brought me that. And everyone was cheering and telling Bobby to "jaga" with raising brows .

*Ahhem... * Haram

One red one white. From two guys who had no ideas what to get for girls. Its still in the shelf because I can't find the bottle opener in any shops in Seria.

And one of them told me, "Big girl liao. No need cuddly toys. Nah, buy you wine. Mature gift for big girl."

Sweet treats

If she's the one who drew that flower herself, then I see another talent in her apart from blogging.

Piggy Wooden Box Bank

So cute right? And I'd put all the angpaos I got for my birthday in it. This will be my 发财盒 (Fortune Box). Oh money money come~

Speaking of angpao, I felt so paiseh (malu) when two of my friends gave me angpao. One is from a married mum so I guess its okay. But another one is from a guy who just started working not long ago. Feel so sorry that he had to give me that.

And both of them answered me the same thing when I said I don't want it, "You say you want something practical mah, nah.. angpao, very practical. Go buy what you like."

-_-"

Requested birthday gifts for my birthday gift

Purple Mobile Pouch

My favorite of all

Pwetty bag with gorgeous gifts inside! And its from a guy!!!
Love love love love love it!

And he said next time he'll just get me a hamper so no need to think what colour or what combination and number (the code for colours of skin tone) to get me. He said since I'm becoming more feminine so must get me lady gifts too. Sweet eh?

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

And if you had been reading me from last year, you'll know that I gave a thank you card on my birthday to Bobby for his effort and sweet caring moments thinking how to surprise me every year.

This year, I got him something he really didn't expected.



Cute? Its just a piece of mahjong paper. Cost $0.20 and its all up to you what to draw on it I guess. Special mah like that, cheaper also.

He was shocked while opening it and couldn't get his eyes off it. He even wanted to put it between us so that he could hug it to sleep. What the heck.

His gift

He turned left and right, said "Aiyah... Too bad Yus is not here already. I can't show off". Yus, you reading this? Bobby wants you to get jealous over this. Hahahaha.

And if you're wondering why did I get Bobby that, well.. Football is his only passion and his favorite is Man-U. Thank God he's not into cars.. else I'll have to buy him rims or some car audio thingie that cost half of my salary.



Doncha wish your girlfriend was cool and caring like me?
=p

Breakfast at Goldiana

We woke up at 7.30am and went downstair to have breakfast at 08.00am.

I can't take early breakfast else will end up puking everything out. Once I feel full I must stop right away. And seeing Bobby gobbling down the food is like... You see for yourself.



Well, I did eat sausage, some wedges and beef rashes from his plate. Just to try out some. Men are almost equal to carnivores.



He loved the breakfast selection at OGH!
And we had complimentary drinks from them too! Just the perfect way to end our stay.

Bye OGH!

I love your strong wireless connection! I had a good time chatting and surfing on the bed while Bobby was too busy playing Super Mario with my Whitieee.

* * * * *

More gifts

She complained that my windscreen looked dirty and I should get rain shield. And I tabalik joke to her asking her to buy for her and give it to me on my birthday. She remembered!



Now this is practical. We're asked to wear blue last Saturday for some function and the only blue baju I have looks really ugly (but comfy). And its so sweet of them to buy me kain. And that nail polishing block, hehehe, Rohana brought it to work the other day and I borrowed it to do my nails. Told Vicky that I'll go buy it for myself because its really fun. She bought it for my birthday the very next day.

Its not the price that matters, its the thought that counts!

*Take deep breathe*

After so long, you noticed I have no tell you what Bobby got for me? Curious?

Hehehe. It's the last gift I wait till the clock struck 12.00am on 05th November and open it. I was too tired on Sunday night and slept early. And we set alarm to wake up at 12.00am just to open the gift from my special someone.



Hmm.. Nothing special about the red box?
Think again!

That box not only served a purpose to place my gift, it is also my birthday card! Now don't you feel like saluting Bobby for his creativity?



So sweet! I was damn touched by this card. He really put in a lot of effort in making this because the box is so perfect for the gift. Its so unexpected!

Every drawings, every words, every little thing from his hand and hard work.

I love you Bi.

And my gift, hehehee....

*ta da*

*melts*

He was chatting with me in MSN the other day and asked me what I think about bangle watch. He showed me a link of the above watch and I like it. But he told me that's what he wished he can get me but he couldn't find it in Miri. So having no choice, he had to pick another gift.

That gift is totally unexpected!

I really thought he got me something else.

Say it looks gorgeous on me! Say it!

When my mum saw the gift, she was shaking her head and sighed, "Very nice eh the watch. But kasian the boy. Don't know have to starve how many meals baru save enough to buy you this".

Why do I have a feeling that if I complained Bobby to her in the future, she'll stand at Bobby's side and tabalik say its my fault?

I love you fat guy. Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me for the forth time. We got many more to come. And now its my turn to think what to get you for your birthday next year.

*scratch head*
