It was my birthday yesterday. As it is now no longer my birthday, I have lost the special priviledge of doing anything I want. However, since there is absolutely no excuse for me not to do it, I shall rattle away to my heart's content since I am fully entitled to do so. :)
Yesterday started out a bit anti-climax. What with the stupid driving test I had to do, which I failed as well, that's even more disgusting. How can you do this to me? On my birthday?! Since the test is computerised (all you who have yet to learn) I suppose the computer you do the test on checks the number of correct answers at the speed of... ... a computer and tells you immediately if you've passed or failed the test. I must admit it was a quite a challenge to accept the big orange box with the words FAILED in caps right after I pressed on the submit test button. Oh the computer is touch screen btw. Okay alright, let's not dwell on that. We still have a long day ahead. It's only ten in the morning!
As I walked home from the bus stop, the resident stray Mr. Friendly followed me home. Usually 'tis I who would keep a lookout for him and give him a pat or two on his little black head when I see him. Today, however, 'twas him who saw me and came running after me! How strange! I'd didn't think he (or any other cats for that matter) actually recognise people save for their voices. Anyway, what a nice surprise. He came up to the gate and rubbed around till I gave him some food. Mr. Friendly is sorta blackish grey with a white underneath and white areas on his face, paws and some other areas of his body. The unique pattern on his body seems to me as though Mr. Friendly wears blackish grey stockings or footless tights, as his hind limbs are blackish grey except the immediate paw area. He is rather a long, slender, tall-ish male compared to other more muscular, larger tomcats. Even his features, such as his nose seem longish. Ht emits a one-of-a-kind cat call that I can identify straight away.
I had to go out again for my driving lesson, how utterly convenient. With Mr. Friendly close at at my heels I set off towards the bus stop again. He stopped after we left the security of the HDB flats. Anyway, I was uncommonly late that day because the buses decided to bail out on me. It was a good driving day. The car didn't stall! Yayness. What an accomplishment. The only booboo I'd made was forgetting to do that left turn.
What a way to start a birthday! I went home rather tired and not wanting to do anything at all. It was hot and I didn't have anyplace in particular to go to nor anything in particular that I would've been excited to do. I got down to continuing my game on FFX where I re-updated myself on my standing of the game (weaponry, position on the sphere grid, item count). It's quite monotonous now because I had decided to stop for a lil to assess the situation of my characters and no. and type of items I needed and did not need (in the case of weapons). It is mighty tiring to decide what's good and what's not good or what I should do cos once you've chosen you've got to live with that decision for the rest of the game. Sometimes, I give myself a break from thinking and leave the presistently annoying problem at the back of my mind and conveniently forget about it only to realise a few relaods of the game later that I still have yet to make a decision. I think this is a game I will have to keep a log of, to enable to do things in a systematic manner so as not to continually fluster myself.
Well, anyway, the most unexpected thing happened next. When I mean unexpected I really mean 1.not anticipated. 2.totally unthought off. 3.absolutely unforseen and. 4. happening or coming quickly and without warning. Haha. I was up to my usual devices, entertaining myself in that "little world of mine" (says Jemmie) when I heard the squeaky creaking of the backgate. I'd thought my mom came home but Lo and Behold! A rare visitor popped up and stood at the backyard.
Huuuuiiiibbbboooooooooonn! Haha. Wth you doing here?
I greeted her in my oversized reebok t-shirt, fbts and way too nerdy glases. That is like soooo. Paiseh. Anyway, it was so out of the blue I didn't quite know how to react to her presence. Ask her in and er... ... Where's that secret planner thing I keep around the house for when guests unexpectedly pop by? It just felt kinda weird and all. I, without much consciousness of mind opened the fridge to rummage around for something. I thought, when guests come you should give them something to fill their tummies with. Hence, I remembered what our fridge is currently famous for. Loads of chocolate. I took out the packet of factory clearance chocolates my sis brought home from the uk, they're pretty good, and we munched on them while plonking ourselves down on the sofa to watch Freaky Friday on Disney. Huiboon insisted we light the lone candle she brought and stick it into the melting slice of Delifrance chocolate cake she bought earlier. And that I, the birthday person, had to sing together with, her, my own birthday song! How appalling! Hahaha. And I, had to make a birthday wish before extinguishing the tiny flame. I felt so lost for words because it seemed all too childish, unusual, dumb, silly,weird, funny, mad, horrifying, unforseen and just so I-don't-do-this kinda thing. But it's tradtition! I know. We gotta follow the rules yknow. I didn't exactly know what wish to make because I never prepared myself what to wish for. I never really wished for something on my birthday. Something I really really wanted. Not materialistically. Something what dreams are made of. The flame was threatening to extinguish itself without my help so I had to rely on my spontaneity to wish for something (which wasn't exactly a something in the end actually). Laughs, I even had to cut the mini-cake after that, followed by us digging into the really smooshy cake. It was really nice and chocolatey.
Well, thanks boon for doing something about this occasion. Something, I myself would never have bothered about, much less other people. I'm glad that you came, though I wasn't quite prepared to celebrate with you. It's your presence that counts. :)
And at night, the wee hours of the night when the night owls start hooting, I caught the biggest one online on my MSN list. The previous conversation I had with Cheryl was mostly about threadless. This time it started with makeup, specifically a broken MAC shadestick going for cheap. We talked a lil 'bout makeup in general and she said she wanted to try out this brand called Barry M. And then there was a whole lot about spree-ing and organising due to the sudden presence of a post at sgspree about the notorious !#$^*&% whose name I shall not mention here for it spells bad news. Apparently she had disguised herself under a new nickname and organised a spree, which everyone was afraid she might end up running away with all the money. And cheryl told me about a new site which you could watch anime without downloading the episodes manually. Is that ingenious or what? The sound of the naruto opening was like music to my ears, because it has been almost two years since I last heard it and well, it is actually music afterall. And I told cheryl that you could catch Gray's Anatomy on channel 5 (cos she loves that show and she didn't know they had it here). It felt like, I give you something good, you give me something good too. Anyway, she's just such an easy person to talk to. A little stoic, it's always nice when I see a 'haha.' here or there. But mostly keen to listen. Cos I'd be like this this this this, you wanna see? Or that that that, you know why? And she'd be like, show me. That's why I never get to sleep when she's around and we talk on Msn. She really seems to devote herself to threadless. Passion + stoicity = Strangely funny. She's a cool person.
