being in penang.. away from most of my family and friends..... i expected an 'okay' celebration.. didnt expect much actually.... but my 'current family' (god bless u guys) made the best of it... hahaha! i seriously didnt expect it to be THAT memorable!!! hahaha! i'll add in the pics later when i've got em...
anyway.... first things first. i came back, on the nite before my bday kinda early. It was a sunday so there was no transport back ( the hotel has a bus that sends their employees home.... usually it leaves bout 15-20 mins of punch-out time) so my senior sent me back.... so rather that reaching home bout 11.45pm... i was home at 11.15pm!!! hahaha! i saw the lights on at the balcony so when i went up, i was surprised to find that the house was dark... not only that, i smelt something burning! i noe, i noe.. DUH it was the candles but it jz didnt click at that moment! so for a moment then i got pretty scared. i rang the bell a few times and finally Eugene opens the door.......

The next thing i noe, i see a trail of flowers leading from the door to my bedroom... and it was dark... haha! i did have a bimbo moment for a second or two... thinking why the hell are there flowers on the floor.. (something that i kinda expected to get on my wedding night... i noe, with candles and all... sigh... such a wonderful display of... um.. anyway..) So naturally i followed them and as i enter my room...
i see June holding something with two candles!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Nana is right behind her smiling her ass off while Reagan is on my bed in some kind of weird position trying to snap pictures!!! hahahaha!!! IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!
the so called 'cake' was actually a jacobs cracker with peanut butter smothered on it!!! hahahahaha! *by this time i felt something at my feet, so i kicked it away* i blew my candle and they turned on the lights!!!!
after i gave em all bear hugs (except Reagan coz he was still in his funny pose!!!!)... and so nana is like, "arent u going to open ur present??"
im like scanning the room looking for it, but i jz couldnt.... and Nana's like" Its right there Atika!" while pointing down to my feet. Fuck. I kicked my present. What a screwed up thing to do. Sheesh!
Anyway, after all that fuss, i went to the 20th floor to find some peace at about 11.55pm... i didnt want to keep the others awake with the smses and calls i mite get.... did i mention that it was also my off day on my bday!
The presents from them are amazing! i got bling2 earings from June, a book, a watch, a bookmark (a beautiful one), angpau from reagans mum and COOKIES! hahaha!
So i find myself reading the book later in the afternoon when June anounces that we're gonna have dinner ' somewhere' at 7pm. Hahahahahaha!!!!! wheeeeeee!!! the next thing i noe, my DAD (the real one.. whom i dont see much of) calls me up and says that he'll be at my place in 2 hours (which actually meant 4 hours.. i've learnt that i'd have to add 2 hours everytime my dad givs me an ETA) hahaha!!! how lucky was i! and earlier that day i remember sulkily telling nana that i was crushed by the fact that i have nvr spent my bday with my real dad.. and that he never calls me too..... =)
So, my dad arrives with my stepmom and my two litle brothers, Ethan and Kharlish and he brings me to the famous Nasi Kandar 'Line Clear'!! hahaha! i noe.. a bit sad rite?? but i was just overwhelmed bout the fact that after 13 long years, i finally have my dad on my bday.
later, he sent home to meet up with the others at this beautiful restaurant.... Feringghi Garden! it was absolutely lovely!!!!
