turning 20 two with too many cakes (not tt i'm complaining)

for the last time in my life, i was a student on my birthday.
and, for the last time in my life, i took an exam on my birthday. whee!~

advanced financial accounting was from 1-4pm. it was a colossal disaster, enough said. luyi and i were still talking about it, into the toilet, out of it, hanging around the lobby waiting for the clowns so that we could go grab a snack. in the end i got lured into this obscure lift which i never knew existed, leading down to B2. of cos, we were still talking about the paper, and when the lift doors opened, i got the shock of my life (and so did luyi - shame on her since she was in the surprise as well...) the clowns were there: adrian was holding this super chocolatey cake, and stanley was holding this big box.

yum, check out the number of layers the cake had... it was also luyi's birthday not too long ago! which we also celebrated after an AFA quiz :

and then i did something really dumb. (what's new). because we were in an enclosed area, the echos were especially powerful, and when i was handed the box, i felt a lot of vibrations, and i thought whatever was inside was alive. so i took a long time opening it. and luyi, again, screamed when i opened the box slightly, compounding the effect. (sheesh she's SO bad at surprises :). anyway it turned out that there was nothing alive inside at all, and i totally stunned everyone with the vibrations. :

debbie was really sweet too, she appeared the in carpark, 15 mins before her exam! :) to think i was lured into going into the carpark, heh.

the big box, and... the carpark...

went home after devouring the cake (which had melted by then) because the MS exam the next morning demanded that i sit down and figure out what's been going on in class.

the terribly melted (but still delicious) cake after all the drama...



and it was very pretty too, complete with gold dust :p

very yummy too...!

i dunno why we didn't take a group shot but this is the closest we got to it. rachel, tiff and hilda were there too..

david came over at 9pm+ with dinner, and a slice of cedele cake. no wonder he sounded so disappointed when i told him i had a chocolate cake in school... but it was the first time in the last 3 or 4 years that he actually spent a part of my birthday with me, so i guess it's quite a record.

a slice of our favourite, very very rich, cedele cake! :)


yeah this was what i was studying for - my last paper the next morning. but there's always time for distractions

and then, karen came back with another cake - not chocolate this time...

when the terrible exams were done and over with....

surprise cake after 'savage-seven' at west coast park 2 days later.
thanks debs and jiams!

erms, i can't remember what the other side of the equation was... but i remember it was quite sweet...

besides that, all the facebook messages were very much appreciated. i got about 70+, which is slightly over 10% of facebook friends (i dunno how it all amassed). i spent some hours the next few days after exams replying them one by one, but i'm not complaining cos lots of these people i've not talked to in ages, so it was a great excuse to catch up! :)

not forgetting the smses too!

thanks also for the presents - the clown gang, ryan, david.

credit goes to auntie alen for the ingenius present for which i'm geuinely touched. it's hilarious.... but i haven't smelt it yet... i think it's more for display la huh.

and the dearest family, who got me and did the whole birthday song thing before mummy left for cyprus:

now i've gotta figure out how to work an iPod. and i know that sharon would love to borrow it every now and then :p
