the adventure of prince kenneth...: birthday 09!

yesterday, 23rd february 2009, i officially turned 28. i'm feeling kinda old... i don't know why, i did feel a bit upset! i'm 28 and i don't have a house or car and i'm still using money from my parents saving. i really feel bad about it! for now, i can only repay them by doing well in my study. speaking of study... i done pretty badly in previous semester! so, the first wish for this year birthday is to do well in my study this semester and get a good mark for my project.

this year is my third year celebrating birthday overseas. the first time i celebrated birthday overseas was 5 years ago (2004) at geelong, australia. i was there doing my bachelor's degree. that birthday was a great one! pooi san made a cake for me... the first time someone made a cake for me. they were quite evil back then, forced me to drink vodka using milk bottle! i'm still wondering which fella came out with such a crazy idea! i was pretty drunk that night. i even offered to take off my pants for the girls. luckily, hwan was around and saved me from embarrassment.

my second overseas birthday was celebrated at nile river, egypt in 2007. i was travelling with my family and a party was organised for me on the cruise ship. guess what? it was my first time celebrating birthday with my family. just weird! i was not with my parents on most of my birthdays! the party on the cruise ship was a fun one. i danced with my parents and sister!

my third overseas birthday is this year, 2009. celebrated yesterday with a few friends. it was a great night! received many gifts and a dinner with 7 dishes were prepared for me. a girl (jiao jiao) prepared (made + decorated) a chocolate cake for me! the cake looks good and tastes damn good too! that girl is really something! a cake goddess! also thanks to steph, deric, linlin and xiang for organized such a great party! lin lin deserves 3 thanks from me for her huge efforts in preparing 3 great dishes, absolutely love the spicy toufu!

p.s. thanks to everyone who posted wishes on my wall (facebook), sent sms, called me, wished me thru msn and sent me both cards and ecards... thanks for those gifts, fellas! love the tissot watch!

the birthday dinner... roasted duck, spicy toufu with pork mince, stir-fried celery with chinese sausages, potatoes - tomatoes salad, stir-fried onion chicken and pork belly soup.
