Had quite a lot of fun within the last three days of my holidays.
On Saturday, it was Thaddeus' long belated birthday celebration. His birthday was on 14 November, but his 21st party was only held on the 5th of December. Wasn't very motivated to go until Jean smsed me and asked whether I'm going and I told her that since she's going, I'll go. Found out only on Saturday that she wanted to go only if I went. Haha. But I really didn't regret going. His party was really indian style, which reminded me of Priscilla Vincent's Birthday party. These two parties have made me change my mind about Indian food. Never knew they could taste pretty good. =)
But I really enjoyed the shopping for his present together with Jean and her friend Wan Ting. We were at the Peranakan Museum (Open House, free entry) and there was a flea market. I learnt a lot about the Peranakan culture and I was also amazed that there's quite a handful of Peranakans who are Catholics. They even showed a clip of the Mass in the museum. The Peranakans really have a very rich culture.
At the flea market, we not only managed to find Thad's present (a t-shirt, not second hand one hor), but we managed to purchase some "pre-loved" items at a cheap cheap price! Wan Ting bought a dress, vest and a shirt at a total price of $16. Jean got a brand new t-shirt for her nephew at $5 and a cheongsam at $12. I got a semi-formal jacket at $10! Fantastic bargains. They were even giving out free beer outside Timbre Substation which I of course did NOT get it coz I don't drink. haha.
Well, yesterday was really fun as well. It was Ting's 21st party at K Suites Iluma. At first I really thought that I wasn't going to stay long because I was supposed to go to school early this morning to settle some exchange stuff. But in the end, I stayed all the way till 3am (and luckily mum didn't call and nag non-stop, only called once at around 2.30am which I was really surprised at!).
The coolest stuff probably was the theme of the night. We were supposed to go as movie characters. At first, I was seriously pulling my hair over what I should wear. My solution was to ask the ever most creative Hilda over to my house to help me out. She opened my cupboard and the first thing we spotted was a punjabi suit, and I said I could go as a Bollywood character. Hilda was like, "No, no, no!" and she pushed me away. I went into my room to check on the printing of my visa documents and a few seconds later, Hilda screamed out that I should wear my labcoat and go as professor X. What she really meant was the father of the powerpuff girls, Professor Utonium. Professor X is the guy from X-men. We got really excited after that and the rest they say is history. =)
Hilda was Lara Croft, someone came as Alice in Wonderland, Damien was James Bond, Nicholas and Youwei was Rambo, Maurice was John Travolta, Birthday girl was the main character of 881 and the rest, I couldn't figure it out....
Really had fun karaoke-ing (I haven't done that since forever! I believe May was the last time) and I even self-learnt how to play pool. Really enjoyed the party loads! Thanks guys for making it so fun and enjoyable! =)
