Its My P.A.R.T.Y

I scrambled out of bed on saturday thinking i was late!

but i wasn't.

I remembered the unfinished sewing, but i was too busy with other preparations for both the Talent Hunt, and my Party that night that i left the sewing for later...

-----

The few of us were supposed to meet at 1pm, at PS. The "competition" was at 2pm, and we were the 4th in line. Also, the only SALSA group among all the hiphop and cheerleading "contestants".

THEY WERE LATE!
had to rush the make up, and I TOTALLY FORGOT abt the sewing!!!! until the last minute.
I am just SO LUCKY to have my sis, and her 2 friends who came early to watch us..
Phyllis and stephanie, THANK YOU!! helping us rush about!

Oh, SF and friends met early to get me a present too. Got me a necklace that went very well with my black number that i intended to wear for my party. It also went fantastically well with my spag top that i was wearing aft the PS Talent Hunt performance. - I SAY, GOOD CHOICE!

------

The dancing on stage was apparantly lacking energy, as said by the 3 judges. oh well, I HAVE STAGE FRIGHT!
but we were almost immediately approached by the Chinggay 2005 Program Manager/ Director, i cant remember what she said her title was, and she said that she'd contact us again coz she hopes to put us up on 2 floats for Chinggay!!!!

TWO FLOATS!!! she mentioned 3 couples on each float.. so.. we only have 3 couples.. *how?*bimbo ponders*

-----

Excitement fades as quickly as it arrived. The heat was UNBEARABLE esp aft dancing and melting under the tentage.

A late lunch was next on the agenda. || I HAVE NO MONEY, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT. ||

NO FISH AND CO, NO CAFE CARTEL... unless you want to treat me.

But we ended up at cartel, and I had bread and water (complimentary).. and pinched off those who didnt want to finish their food. Deb's sis, Tabby, and her mum, Auntie Susan came round with Faith, Deb's 4month old niece to support too.. so I met faith for the First time, even thou they stay 5 mins away from me, and I sometimes send deb home when she's not going over to eddie's *bleh*

-----

So we left PS at ard 5pm.. took the train to Clarke Quay and realised that the River Valley bldg wasnt as near as we thought it would be. 2 bus stops away. SF, phyllis and steph were my very helpful and pretty receptionists. They did a fantastic job.. until they got bored sometime half way and went in to "flirt" with the old boys - my friends. TSK TSK TSK!!

To the 3 of you.. Lucky i'm there.. like I said, they're all v "se-lang"!! If i'm not there, you better not "flirt" ok!

-----

So the preparations, were in full swing.. decor was coming up, the "guest book" was prepared by the 3 girls, and a few other pple helped out with the desinging of the cards..



Everything was good.. AND I MANAGED TO SHOWER! YAAAY!!! I didnt know i could shower there.. the bathroom was better than expected! NTU almumi gym. haha

------

730 came and went... (see abv pic) a few pple dribbled in.. but the crowd started coming in ard 8... and it went full swing..

dinner was served... THe music was playing.. Social salsa was the hot fav.. coz if i played jazz, my salsa kakis were sitting down with twitching legs!!

Phelica arrived with her date.. hehe.. and her date totally bowled me over!! Her date was supposed to be a surprise.. And I SERIOUSLY thought it wld be a GUY.... But it was ALETHEA. And I was overwhelmed that alet actually came back for me, coz she was actually only coming back on the 18 of december, or sometime ard then. And i kinda.. burst into tears.. .. how embarrassing! :S


Lotsa running ard. I was so flustered. but really, thank you for coming. I WILL NEVER HOST AOTHER PARTY ..... not any time soon at least.. but Do give comments on the party ok?

We were dancing alot, and had some performances..

Salsa performance by my very close salsa friends... and the Band

who came together not knowing each other, but met one week before to brew something for me!

For all the presents, and the love and laughter that came along with it.

I've so many people to thank .. They made my birthday SO MEMORABLE, personally. It went thru a few weeks of planning and meetin up.. and I CANNOT bring myself to just give send you an SMS.. but I will state here that I will update you when all the stuff is up.. i'm just really SLOW.. yeah yeah, "chinfee the sloth" :P

I could never express the stirring feelings I had when I saw so many people who'd take time off just to celebrate with me.
Thank you all so much.
but the one i hafta thank, coz she got the place - is mum

Most of the party left before midnight.. *phew*
was quite burned out from the whole days activities.. but i managed to do a couple of dances, and KTV int he room.. we finally packed up to leave at 2ish..

and my other surprise came. Brian P. whom i thought was still in Australia, came down to river valley to meet me.. just for that few minutes..
and we were all packed up and carrying stuff to the cars.

Hey BP, sorry you couldnt make it.. but am touched that you still came down even thou I said we were all gonna leave ...

-----

had bak kut teh just down the road, before Mhd Sultan with some of my relatives from the maternal side of the family. I didnt eat much during my party.. sighz, we had extra food, but it was all cold anyway.

By the time i got home, i was .. STONED.

skimmed thru the presents.. even now, i havent looked at each individually :S
will make time for it!!

and that was that.

lingering topic - Boyfriends & Dance

I have been questioned many times over
- " since you're so into salsa, would you like a bf who can dance? "
- " would your bf be from the salsa scene? "
- " would you mind him dancing with other girls? Especially some couple dances.. "
- " what are other factors that would influence your decision to engage in a r/s? "
- " who would you want to meet? "

a) yes - I would like that, but doesnt matter if he doesnt. A dance is made more meaningful by the relationship shared, and it stands the same in the instance of Friends. If he doesnt, at least understand my "passion" for dance; and.. this sounds *roll eyes* silly, but if he dances, he only starts dancing coz of me..

b) probably not - those that start dancing on their own.. are.. hhmm.. let me put it in a way I told a friend when he asked: these guys carry a certain stigma, that they're there to learn just to pick up girls.

c) tough. - "Always treat others the way you want to be treated", thusly, respect their decisions, right? WRONG, i.e. if I were to be really stingy. BUT, I also want to dance, and I DEFINATELY know my limits.. so I just hope my (future) partner shares the same sentiments....

d) i'm fussy. too bad. *grumble*
[smarts] [bigger taller frame] [richer - to ensure my entrance to young taitai-hood] [handsome - my scoreboard is tough to pass. how often do you see me drooling?] [kindly] [honest] [considerate] [filial] [hardworking - to make up for my lack of it, haha] [healthy & fit - which most wld be, with NS or reservist. dont think I'd hook up with someone past reservist, now would I?] [share same morals and values, ideals and thoughts].. DUH, the usual.
~~~ Then you look back and examine my previous "choices"..
(for those who know history, I only beg to say - no one is that perfect.. ;p the guys are all wrong.. *LOL*.. okok, truth be, I probably suck at this)

e) friendster answer - And people ask me abt the relationship bits: Not so much serendipity, but since I'm a bit of a dreamy fairytale person.. romantic idealist... you can more or less make your guess. Doesnt mean I make a nice princess thou.. *evil laugh*

I cant really remember any other questions now at 3.30am.. and anything else you want clarified? - add to comments ;p

*skratcH nosE*

and I said, "I'll NEVER have a blog"

The Pink stains on my fingers, due to the prayer incense from the temple, has to come off = shower

I have to get some sleep, and then try out my *NEW PERFUME* Davidoff * (Thank you Jen!!) for the Church Wedding, Lunch Buffet.

Great Morning! :) Fantastic (previous) Night!
*summary: Eddie's and Joey's 22 Birthday Celebrations at Xenbar. Was feeling under the weather earlier in the night, but by supper time and after, was abuzz with the Superb Supper with 19 others at River Valley. (It didnt matter that therez some bad karma for me there).
