of narcissm and self-obsession

Welcome back to me after a few weeks of not blogging. I switch on the computer, open Blogger, and stare at a blank page before finally clicking the red 'X' at the top right-hand corner. Maybe some sort of Blogger's virus=x

My current favourite word is "LA-LA".
Definition of la-la :
Ah lian-ish. Lala-ism!=D

Anyway, I'm here to blog about Menghong's incredible birthday party!

OUCH.

Okay, so it wasn't THAT incredible. But it was enjoyable. ENOUGH.

Snaps from the night!

The birthday boy and I. We've known each other since Standard 5. So that makes a grand total of.. oh, 6 and a half years! Thanks for putting up with me all the time, you're one of the few guys I truly trust! And also, thanks for always letting me bully you, such as ferrying me to tuitions, and carrying my heavy books after Literature class!=D (I would also like to point out that you look toot here, but what else is new?)

Khai and I. We look a LITTLE bit alike. He's a big mouth freak!XD Surprised that I look pretty good after ONE shot. It usually takes a little more than that -____-

Three of the Femme Fatales and Menghong. Jolwee was absent, SOBS! What can I say, we all love pattern-ing!

My few good guy friends. I know, Menghong is zilian. If you can just look past his face to the other guys, none of them are for saleXD Clockwise from top left, William, Kayvin, Neo, Zili, Dhiraj and big mouth Khai. Gosh, I will miss all of you guys when I'm gone!

So, A-Day is drawing nearer. Of course there's E-Day before that.

Katie's Jargon :
A-Day " Australia Day, meaning, the day I leave for Australia to further my studies.
E-Day " Examination Day. As in, the SPM examinations. Gulp.

But enough about that. Another few photos to keep us ALL entertained.

A BIGASS photo of Jess to keep ... satisfied. And also, thanks for reading my blog always (:

The two OLDER sisters in our gang, sorry they're taken!

And ohyeah, another BIGASS photo of me. What can I say, the title said it all!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating lately. I owe a thanks to Chareli for giving something to start off with. Computer time has been limited and all that.

Which brings me to the topic.

DEATH.

Don't you think it's easy for another person to tell you, Hai-yah, death comes for all of us at some time or another what.. Don't be sad. In reality, when you've suffered a loss, that particular sentence won't help.

My dad's best friend passed away last Sunday night, at the hale and hearty age of 50. He was on his weekly 20-mile bike ride, when 100metres from his house, he died instantly of a heart attack. It was unbelievable and unfathomable to all of us, as he was the healthiest man I've ever met!

I've known him since I was a baby, he's been with my family from 20 years ago. He watched my sisters and I grow up, but sadly, he'll never get to see us marry, or have babies. He came over to my house every morning and every night to have breakfast and dinner with my dad. He's become a regular fixture in my house, and it's difficult to accept the fact that he's gone. He takes us to tuition when my dad goes out of town, and he even comes over to check on us occassionally. At his funeral, I caught sight of his car parked in front of the funeral parlour, and I broke down. All of us felt the loss terribly, my mum, my sisters, and most of all, my dad.

How would you feel if you unexpectedly lost your best friend of 20 years without having a chance to say goodbye? My point is, "Life is short and sweet, make the most of it while you can" may be a cliche, but it is undoubtedly true.

In loving memory of a great man, you'll never be gone from our hearts.

something quite stupid really. Neglected my photoshop as wellX( Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle!
