Reaching this ultimate milestone is an achievement alone! May many more delectable Wagyu steaks and mouth-watering oysters come your way accompanied by beers that can never be too many a bottle! =)))
Not to forget, HAPPY 29th ANNIVERSARY, MUM AND DAD!!!
WOOHOO. 29 going on 30!! Almost three decades together. THREE DECADES! Proud of you guys. =D Let's keep the fire (ahem) burning! Heehee.
Cheers to two of the most outstanding people in my world! x)
Few more hours to go before I hit the ultimatum of LEGAL! Haha!
Actually, I can't remember the exact time of birth so we'll just go for 12am then. Kekeke. Eh, but since I'm in Australia... I have to push time back by 2 hours.
So... that means less than 23 hours to go?
WTH. So much talk about time and in the end, I always say "Time is relative." HAHA.
Walaoeh. My age doesn't start with "1" anymore. BOOOOO.
Feeling kinda tingly. Hee hee hee. Wow. Why am I feeling tingly? Hee hee hee. 21! WAKAO. Over two decades old! DAMN MAN.
Oh before I go on, happy birthday, Kenneth! ;D Hard to forget your birthday when it's one day before mine. Haha.
I've never done a birthday wish list on my blog (Well, I don't remember doing one.). Yeah yeah, I'm one of those people who like to pretend that I don't need a present but actually, I really do. Hahahaha! Just kidding. No, really! I'm one of those people!
Come on, man. WHO DOESN'T LOVE PRESENTS? X)
Since it's already the 4th of May, this will give you (or anybody else) precisely TWENTY-ONE days to prepare a present for me (well, if you were intending to) and this is excluding the mighty grand day of the TWENTY-SIXTH OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND NINE!
I have also decided to be extravagant and shamelessly materialistic with this wish list. Well, it is called a "Wish" list and we're all allowed to dream every once in awhile, aren't we? =) I have a feeling the only people who can afford this wishlist is perhaps my parents or people from Gossip Girl. @_@
Now, all you kind souls, listen up! The Ridiculously Long Birthday Wish List begins...
For my first step into DSLR photography and something that just allows me to twiddle with the functions and get used to it while not inhibiting my range.
Any of the three above will be awesome. To satisfy my lust for more cameras and not just digital. Yum! Lomos! I can feel my hands getting all tingly on them film cameras!
I saw this in the newspapers and thought they were pretty cool! They are a cross between Ugg boots and wellies or wellingtons. I was never a fan of Uggs even though million claimed they were unbelievably warm and comfortable. Sorry lah, I don't want to look like a Snow Yeti! However, this did the trick for me. Keep warm and look awesome with gum boots look-alike! How cool are they? And bloody expensive too.
Peter Alexander Suede Scuffs. Love the leopard print! XDDD Actually, I really really really like stuff with animal prints. RAWR! This luxurious pair would be really comfortably during winter!
Peter Alexander Riding Gloves in black and red. I've always wanted a pair of leather gloves. Just have not found the right pair. I thought this were pretty awesome despite being called "Riding Gloves". Haha. I'm pretty sure they're alright for day use, eh? Red and black! WOOHOO!
I know it's an overnight bag but the pattern is DAMN NICE LAH! Even the white one is super chio. Hahaha! X))) Can I not use it as an overnight bag? Seems like it's such a waste to just keep blankets and pyjamas in it!
Peter Alexander, one of the best places to find designer (yeah, sadly.. DESIGNER.) sleepwear. Bloody sleepwear costs more than your everyday clothes! @_@
Don't bother with blu-ray. I have no blu-ray player. Hahaha. I first heard about this from a friend and then saw rave reviews of it online. Been trying to download it online but it's SO HARD and my download is stuck! ARGH. I'm currently downloading The Blue Planet as well. From what little bits I've seen, it looks awesome. Nature never ceases to amaze me. Call me a nerd or weird for wanting this, I don't care! Haha! XP
Wahpiang! I just noticed that Amazon has it at a bargain price now. Assholes! >:O Jamie Oliver moments! One of my all-time favourite chefs. The books are amazing and amazingly expensive as well. The photos and illustrations and graphics and of course, recipes inside are amazing too! XDDD
ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER. For rock stars who couldn't make it to rock stardom. Har har har. XP Say what you will, I still love Guitar Hero! But of course... to play it, I would need a console. edit on 12/5/2009: I BOUGHT GUITAR HERO MYSELF! Still waiting for it to arrive. XD
Any one generous enough to sponsor me with any one of the three? Hee hee hee. Koko and I always said that we would save up money to get one and guess what... never happened. HAHAHA! edit on 12/5/2009: Got myself a PS2 too while I was at it! PS2 Slim is simply AWESOME.
And now, a couple of shoes!
Look at that awesome myriad of colours! The new Dr. Martens are back, brighter and bolder than ever! XDDD
Kekeke. Don't tell me you didn't laugh when you saw this! X) Too cute to be eaten. I can't seem to find them in Sydney. Haih. Wonder what I'll do with them if I had them now, considering my house's oven is not functioning. Haha.
Back to more clothes! Gossip Girl clothes to be specific. Clothes which are probably almost impossible to find and afford (at this point of time.). Kekeke.
Serena Van Der Woodsen/ Blake Lively.
That awesome yellow trench has been etched in my mind ever since. AHhhhh.
Georgina Sparks/ Michelle Trachtenberg.
You might remember her better from Buffy. Georgina Sparks is a lame name and quite the bitch on the show but my my, look at her delicious sense of style! Ahhhh again. I really love that leather jacket. Still can't find a nice black one. Sigh.
Serena and Blair Waldorf/Leighton Meester.
THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SCHOOL UNIFORMS!!!! WTF. I love both their outfits but I have very much fallen in love with Serena's sequinned cardigan. Sigh and it's currently unavailable. SIGH.
Blair and Nelly Yuki/Yin Chang.
Awesome winter coats! Colour does add much brightness to the otherwise gloomy weather. Nelly Yuki has quite a collection of funky glasses as well. Kekeke. More power to the nerds! XP
Serena smooching some dude called Gabriel...
BUT FOCUS! It's the blue trench coat that I want you guys to look at. The smooching is so redundant here but that's the best photo I could find of the trench coat. >.<
I have no more photos but my wish list is not done yet! XP Told you it was a ridiculously long one. I would love to have more books! XD Such a nerd. Architectural books, books on photography and graphic design, perhaps Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell. Maybe even magazine subscriptions to Rolling Stone (USA edition please.), Nylon, Metropolis, Delicious or various architectural magazines. Oh God, there are so many that I can't even decide! What huge evidence to show how big of a magazine freak I am. @_@
There are so many more things that I want but JUST TOO MANY TO LIST DOWN. Haha! Maggie always said that I want so many things which is very true, unfortunately. Kekeke but doesn't that make it easier for you to buy presents for me? Haha! Cutting your burden by half! I am the perfect birthday person. XP
Having said so much, I have this weird feeling that I might just end up with a dildo.
I'm supposed to be doing work but it's less than 3 more hours to dinner and I can't do much! Might as well just hop over here and do something. Haha.
Just to console myself and find something "better" to do. =P
WOW. TWO. ZERO.
THAT'S A BIG NUMBER.
HAHA! 19 is patiently waiting in the background. To bid farewell before catching that train to where ever it is our yester-years go to.
(Random thought: I wonder why so many people are wishing me "Happy Birthday" today, instead of tomorrow. A Facebook glitch? Wrong calendars? A major conspiracy against me? You tell me. I have no idea.)
Many of you probably remember that I wasn't really looking forward to my birthday this year. Not because of anything but just simply, it meant getting older and a new phase of my life.
Let's take a short trip down memory lane or whatever records I have of it online...
Chareli @ 15
"Oh yeah Just now,Ai Rin asked me how come I didn't mention her in my blog.....SORRY LEH!...Now happy? I'm mentioning you what,.....Oh yeah...she kept saying Sirius Black as SILLY BEAR!!!! HOI......WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!!!! After that when Ee Theng corrected her saying that Sirius is a dog not a bear (He's an Animagus by the way) Ai Rin said whatever la...SILLY DOG SILLY DOG....ALAMAK......HANCUR NAMA SIRIUS!!! Chew and I kept cursing her! HAUAHAHAHHA " from here.
WOW. Look at the way I type! Embarassing gila! HAHAHA. I SOUND ALMOST RETARDED. Actually, quite retarded lah. Still very fanatic about Harry Potter then. I remember we actually had a funeral for Sirius Black at the back of the classroom. Good old days! X) Very very wacky at this age.
Chareli @ 16 "Harry Potter haters (fuck you people!), Those who even LIKE Hillary Duff Ass, Those who LOVE Hil Duff Beer Ass to death Circle IV Rolling Weights" from here.
WOW. SO I've started using the word fuck at an early age! HAHA. Nice. No wonder I've grown up to be so healthy. ;P Still a fanatic then, I was never one to be crossed or wronged by insulting my 3 most beloved things (at that moment) which were Harry Potter, Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park. WOW. Starting to show bits of my rebellious streak on my blog. Always had been quite a rebel when I was young anyway. Chareli @ 17
"hallo. My brain and senses are lagging right now. About half an hour ago, I drank 330ml of apple cider which had 7% of alcohol by myself. to tell you the truth, it tastes more like beer with fruity taste and smells like beer too. Sorry if my caps lock aren't correct...i am not exactly sober right now. I'm more sober than drunk. But head's feeling a heavy just now. Much better now. yay! Was red like a lobster too! Hahahaha...very flatulent day today too...something to do with lactose-intolenrance. Ok..toodles people. That's all for now. ;) " from here.
WOW. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE. Underaged drinking! Fantastic. Cider has never tasted better then! ANYTHING tastes sweeter when it's illegal. So at 17, I started mucking around more with alcohol. I still remember the night this happened, right before I posted this on my blog. Carmen was singing and laughing her head off in the common room! Crazy shit. We had to drag her back to her room later on. HAHAHA. Good times, baby, good times! Chareli @ 18 "Kenneth's going for NS health check later (It's Wednesday already, right?). Darn, he's not coming to school then.
Me: Health check with Yi Liang? Ken: Yup. Both of us chose the same day. We registered late. Me: That means you two can strip together la! Woohoo! Then you guys can compare dicks. Maybe Yi Liang will go, "Eh Kenneth, yours bigger than mine le. Mine smaller." Ken: CHARELI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your mind ah...... -.-" Me: *sniggers*" from here.
WOW. My pervert streak is starting to show. Nyehehe! Even so, it was already there even since a young age. Look at THIS! Read number 4. It must be INNATE lah. Just needed the right timing to let it go full blast! =P
Chareli @ 19 "Awww, turning nineteen isn't as bad as I thought. Wasn't that depressed to the point where I couldn't pig out with Huey Shyan. HAHA!
But, I'm old. =) Happy Nineteenth To Me!" from here.
WOW. A rare birthday post. I realised I hardly blog about my birthdays. I think it's because I usually get too caught up with the festivities and by the time I'm free to blog about it, I've gotten too lazy and out of the mood to do it. HAHAHA! That's me for you! Starting to sound alot more mature at 19, I guess. No more new revelations at this age!
Sometimes it's just really cool to spend some time and look into the past. To remember what you've forgot. Maybe discover something new that you have never noticed before. Ahh yes, I actually noticed the transition of me from not knowing how to use a full stop as a punctuation mark and to where I wrote proper sentences.
XD
Time is running outtttttt~ (sing it to Muse.)
I wonder what does 20-dom hold in store for me. ;)
One of the biggest moments in your life has to be your 21st birthday. No? It's the ultimate legalism for most people. Sometimes it just means that you can now receive your responsibilities full on. Some people think it's the time to go on a porn marathon. Others just think they're now legal to vote (Yipee.).
But for Maggie Ahmah, it meant that...
SHE GOT MUGGED!!!!
Not too old to be mugged, are you? Kekeke. XD
Dalang of the whole scenario: PORKY NG Muggers: Ben and Manus aka. the Boxer Brothers. Cameramanwomen: Huey Shyan and me. Everyone-else-in-between: Jocelyn, Hong Gee, Kyloon, Xiang Jie, Shih Shing, Darren, Chong Wee and Yoke Heng.
Everything was planned and ready, everyone was excited before the mugging and even better, Maggie didn't suspect a thing.
BUT WE FORGOT TO CONFIRM WITH PORKY HOW TO KNOW WHETHER HE'S ON HIS WAY ALREADY. Our timing went a bit awry. (So sorry! Our bad.) We got slightly confused about the exact location. The place for the "mugging" to happen was too bright.
As we were lighting the cake, suddenly I realised 2 figures walking towards us and OMFG! It's Maggie and Porky! And the cakes are not even lighted yet! We couldn't signal to Ben and Manus to mug them. Everyone held their breath and hid in the dark behind a car and on the steps next to the pathway the two were walking on. I remember thinking this plan has gone SO WRONG and Maggie's going to see us hiding on the sides. Strangely enough, she just walked on until the corner of the road.
MAYBE THERE'S A CHANCE TO MUG HER AFTER ALL. So then, we hurried Ben and Manus to run after them so that they still could be mugged and guess what happened...
(Just as I feared.)
Please watch the video. XD
Listen to it, rather than watch it. I don't think you can see the 2 dark figures running in the darkness.
EXACTLY!
HOW SUEY WERE WE??!! Please do not answer that question.
So on to Plan B (Something devised on the spot.), after Porky told us to go to their house as she already knew. Well duh.
Plan B: Form the number "21" with candles outside her window and throw rocks at her window to make her look out of it to see this...
Cheers to us! It looks superb, doesn't it?
The siao ahmah was screaming her head off as though someone had raped her when Porky, Manus and Ben locked her into her room to DO THINGS. NYEHEHEHE!
The delicious blueberry cheesecake from Michel's.
Dear Maggie and me. <3 you, Ahmah!
Maggie and the "muggers". Man, was that woman who shouted at them scary or what? I was actually afraid that she was going to to bash them up. She was probably like "Skinny bastards! I can take them down anytime!" AND THANK GOD NO POLICE!
So there lives a smelly closet poser in Porky.
A really nice photo after many attempts and clucking chickens. Kekeke.
The Senior Citizens take a Community Centre photo together. Left-Right:(back)Maggie, Lucy, Shih Shing and Yoke Heng. (front)Darren, Porky and Chong Wee looking all zen.
The rocking Dragon babies as always. XD I'm so biased. Left-Right: Shyan, Jocie, me, Hong Gee, Manus (back), Kyloon and Xiang Jie.
Who's the best looking???? BEN! and the loneliest too.
Wow. Lucy does yoga with funky socks!
HEHEHE.
Ahmah taking a dump.
Everything else put together.
The Dinner @ Summit Bar and City Pocha
Heyyy, that's not the logo for the Summit bar!
Wait wait. Before I go any further, may I reveal how I have achieved one of my life goals on Friday, right before the dinner?
YES AND IT'S ALL FOR YOU, MAGGIE! HAH! See how much I love you.
Hahaha. I was actually a bit scared to go in at first. I mean, what if I got raped inside? Ok, that's a stupid thought but it's possible! Alright, maybe not raped... but how about assaulted?! Sheesh. It's terrible how we common folk have such stereotypes of sex shops. They're just shops selling dodgier stuff! 5 seconds later, I went in anyway. And to the one that looked the most "friendly" to me. Haha!
I wanted to take a picture of the shop but was kinda embarassed because that would be so immensely suaku of me. Come to think of it, I should have said that it was for my blog! I was staring at this wall of dildos and the salesguy said "Just to let you know, everything's on 25% discount!"
How friendly. =D
Seriously, they have the most intriguing shit there ever. There was even this cone thing that you could use to "stimulate" yourself. WTF right? CONE? Haha! After staring for a bit, I decided to do some research in the next sex shop and so I went to Adultcity. My God, that place was so dodgy. I remember seeing a wall of handcuffs. Even the cashier looked dodgy with that ciggie sticking out of his mouth and that GRIN. 10 seconds later I was out of that store!
People there must be wondering what's this Asian girl doing around such stores...
A pizza slice after that, I went back to Pleasure Chest and got her this...
THE AMAZING ADJUSTACLIT RABBIT! See the mighty rabbit? It gives you what you desire! =P Paper bag courtesy of David Jones.
Well of course the dildo did not come out all wrapped in pretty stars.
Me: (staring at the dildo-filled wall.)... Salesguy: I could put in batteries for you to try them! Well, not try them fully. You know. Me: Hehehe. Ok sure. XD (Hands him the Rabbit.)
Salesguy proceeds to show me how to run the Rabbit.
Salesguy: Before you use it, make sure you wash it with water. Not that I have disease or anything. Me: Oh okay. HAHAHA! Alright, I think I'll grab this one. Salesguy: Cool. Let me wrap it up for you. Me: By the way, is it possible for me to like change this if it er... breaks? Salesguy: Hmm. Sorry but we don't do refunds. But this thing should last you quite awhile depending on how frequently you use it. You know those cheapo 20 dollar, 15 dollar ones. They break really easily. You know, if you use it frequently, like say... everyday, then it'll wear off faster. Me: HAHA! Okok cool. It's not for me anyway. It's actually for my friend. Salesguy: Haha. Sure. (Gives me a look like he does not believe me fully.) I'll just give you another paper bag to fully cover it 'cause you know, when you walk down the streets... Me: Yeah yeah! Thanks. That'll be great.
Kekeke. I tell you ah, the service you get there is so much better in those stupid high-end fashion stores. Not that I hate those stores but the service there is just so lousy. Haha and that was partly why I was late to the Summit. The Summit is amazing! It has the most gorgeous view of the city and it actually rotates! How cool is that? Dunno how I missed it all these months.
Pictures of us.
Porky, Pheebs (who has to leave early!) and the Birthday Girl Ahmah holding a beautiful bouquet of pink lilies from Shyan.
Sniffing the flowers, Porky? Or something else? Kekeke.
The famous Boxer Brothers, Nicole and Lucy.
Maggie and I looking a bit retarded here. <3 YAY! You're 21! XD
Later on, we made a move to City Pocha for the REAL FOOD.
YUM. Kimchi!
The guy preparing the BBQ and hotpot for us.
Porky in doubt...
The Korean guy sensing Porky's queasy look.
Maggie's all hungry! RAWR!
Spicy pork and potato hotpot. YUM.
Pork belly and kimchi on the BBQ. DROOL.
Shoju anyone? We're such alcoholics... but hey! Maggie turned 21! It's enough reason to celebrate! XD She's lucky we didn't make her drink 21 shots! HAHA.
Ahmah instincts developing in no time at all.
The next table. The 12 of us had to be separated into 3 tables because City Pocha didn't have a big enough table to seat 12. -__-"
Table 2 had ala carte and table 3 had BBQ too.
The service in City Pocha sucked but boy, was their food GOOD?! I couldn't help but stuff myself man. OINK! We then took a slow walk to Circular Quay to relieve ourselves and make way for ICE CREAM!
Ben: THAT'S SO NASTYYYY!
Jocie and I.
THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PRETTY PACKAGE WRAPPED IN STARS. Hmmm. I WONDER WHAT COULD IT BE...
YAY! Judging from Maggie's facial expression, she's UTTERLY AND SUPERBLY delighted to receive the Rabbit. Let's all hope she makes good use of it. Hey! You can always use it to do a back massage too! Don't need Osim. Here we have the cheap cheap Rabbit. XP
Funny things happen at night, especially when it's a full moon night.
It was great just sitting around the Opera House area, chatting under the full moon. It would have been a little better though if it weren't so cold that night.
Korean food makes people want to jump and scream!

Cheers Maggie! Hope you're looking forward to your many more birthdays-to-come! Hope we made this an unforgettable milestone for you and we love you! XD
