flawed work of art.

hmm. I can't complain about my day. my 18th b'day, to be exact. was really surprised to receive calls from far and wide. haha. yep. to name a few:

1) xin. early in the morning. I was still trudging about in my pjs, eating my roti prata.
2) just as I hung up, mommee goose called. which was funny, cos' I knew that xin had to enter class at that time. and since goose was in the same college, I wondered.... oh well. who cares?! as long as I know they love me! *smiles like a mad idiot* I must apologise though. cos' at first, I thought she was lynette. 'doh. it didn't take me long to change my mind after my ear went through an ear-piercing 'NOOOOOO!!' yeah. serves me right.
3) a few secs after goose had to hang up cos' of class, weiyi's turn. she sounded like lynette too.
4) kam hoong, who wants to courier a gift to me. (!!!) at this time still in my tigger pj's.
5) Godpa! who wants to pinch my cheeks on sat. great.
6) mel, lyn & dee. rowdy bunch. haha.
7) fang. all the way from kiwiland. beb, I miss you.
8) apu & ven. all the way from uh, ec! hoho. what good students! I didn't forget my vodka lime, maggot.
9) val. all the way from Oz. touched!!
10) daniu kor. who complained that my friends kept calling the mobile. which he's having now.

uh. since it's 4 am m'sian time, I dunno if I remembered everyone. haha. shawn's not counted. and neither is max. cos' they did so online before I heard their voices. max needed a little hinting. forgiven, cos' he just woke up.

oh. and I'm not complaining about my b'day although compared to last year, it was much much more quiet. partly due to the fact that I'm down with fever & sore throat. sigh. 3rd time in 4 months. what's wrong with me?!

I didn't forget the rest of you msn-ers, friendster-ers and hotmail-ers. thanks for remembering! even if friendster did remind you. I don't care! at least you made an effort.

special mention to apu who had this as a personal message: "and 5th of April was the day celine chu was born and gave a new definition to the word 'faggot'" gee. thanks. and also colin, for the nick - 'HAPPY BDAE CELINE!' reminded me of the time kor had the nick - 'all the best CELINE CHU!' the day before I left for uk. that really moved me. sounds stupid but....

yeah. dad forgot my b'day! he actually went, 'oh yeah! happy b'day. kakak just told me. no wonder you had so many calls at 12 last night. kacau me only!' whoops. sorry to those who called. was sleeping cos' I had a bad headache and fever. oh yeah. and my mobile's not with me. so yeah. apologies again.

dad bought a cake home after that. mm. chocolate. too rich for my taste, but he was excited about it cos' they decorated it with rainbow spots and flowers and all. oh and the words on the cake? 'Happy Birthday Luv'. mom, dad & I laughed at that clear indication of his poking fun at my being in England, where everyone calls everyone 'love'. cute though. my dad. sigh.

aiyo. I'm feeling the weight of jet lag. why is it always delayed? it was the same in uk and now here. darn.

oh well. tomorrow, or rather later today, am going to esplanade to watch a classical performance, then for dinner. mm. some posh place. so much for reverting back to my skinny self. fang says I look better, healthier in fact. so. I believe her. and weiyi's been a great help too. not the boobs part. but anyway...

daniu kor's coming back this weekend. maybe anyways. good. he can gimme back my mogu. having trouble sleeping and I think it's cos' I don't have my mogu. all turqoisy and soft.

he's getting a new car and it's not even his b'day yet! and I ask for a laptop and dad is reluctant. well. what d'you think mum'll say if I say I want a lip-ring? I may get one. it looks uber cool. ok. maybe not. but how about another ear-piercing? man. I'm such a sadomasochistic 18-year-old.

perhaps I'm just sad that although I have 3 siblings, none were around to sing me a b'day song, watch me blow my saliva on the cake as I blew out the candles and of course, eat it. in fact, dad's sending it out to his work place tomorrow, oh wait, later today. cos' no one at home can finish it anyway. haiyah. and the only reason kor remembered is cos' well, he thought it was the day before until I shouted at him and said it was the next day. and daniu kor is cos' the phone was vibrating like mad while he was checking a patient. no sound of jie. although she asked for mum's, dan's and my b'days 2 days back. for some formal work stuff. or visa or something.

I'm really touched that I do have great friends out there though, who really made this fever-stricken, croaking 18-year-old smile, even for a few precious minutes. really, I do, cherish y'all. and I must say that life's been tough without each and every one of you walking with me on my journey, but just knowing that you guys are there for me, and make that extra effort on this special day, that just gives me strength to go that extra mile alone.
