Birthday Surprise

What a 180 degree flip my birthday yesterday turns out to be =)

charm in new tube top hugging zee pillow
* dark suave voice* Good morning Angel
* sweet enthusiastic reply * Good morning Charlie !

At 1st, I was staying at home after cancelling everything ( Newcastle, Manchester, Turkish dinner, clubbing, cake, shopping ). No money ma. ( Read previous blogs then u'll understand. ). A boring day was anticipated.

My dad & grandfather called in the morning to wish me HAPPY BIRTHDAY . I'm a daddy's girl. Alwiz have, alwiz will =) I love u pops. I love u too, yeh yeh... ( which means grandpa in cantonese. ) My dad told me to go buy my birthday prezzie, using his credit card. =D Thanks pops ! But sorry pa, I cant use your credit card. Not when you need it more than I do.

Amman kept calling the whole day to wish me Happy Birthday again n again. Yarr aren't u the sweetest thang? Wore my new tube top given by James and my dark brown jacket given by Burcu. Head on to Subways to meet Amman where he treated me to a Subway thingy. I duno what u called it. Anyway. Chat awhile but he gotta continue working. Thing that made me smile was " Can you stay here awhile and look pretty for me? " =) Thx Yarrrrr... HUGGSSS~~

I then head on to the Salvation Army near my house to shop for 2nd hand clothes. Earlier I had korek out the coins I have. Muahahha go clear your cupboard. It's amazing how much coins u can collect. Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit. Got myself second-hands of a Topshop pink cardigan and a French Connection checked winter skirt. All for only £4. Beggars cant be choosers, no? That's what my mom alwiz say. The cashier was amused at the coins I presented to him. Didn't use my dad's card. Tell u a secret. I sometimes buy 2nd hand clothes. So what? Cant afford branded new ones wert. That's y u see I have a lot of over-sized winter jackets. Cheap, Comfy & Warm.


There. It's ok if you're disgusted at me. It happens.

Anyway, I was heading back home, then upstairs in my room, organizing my lecture notes ( Note the 'organizing' , not studying ) when I heard voices downstairs. Thinking it might be the guests which my landlady had for these 2 nites, I didn't bother checking.

N then 10 mins later I heard " Charmine ! Come downstairs ! "

*Pitter patter of charm's feet down the steps*

" SURPRISE !! "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOO CHARMINNNNEEEE ~~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU........

Ahhhhh Thank you guys ! Pei Sian & Jun Li, I love u both sooo sooo much !

I seriously thought you'll not be doing anything when I busted on your plan yesterday and said just cancelled it for the day.

cutting zee tiramisu cake

Ohhh you guys shouldn't have wasted money and all... London's so expensive ! But thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart ! MUAHHH !~!

We makan-ed zee lovely Tiramisu cafe latte. Ah... Bliss. N then chit chat about politics & economy. Haha.... How predictable of us ACCA nerds. Nevertheless, I had fun. We all did. =)

Thank you so much guys !


zee lovely presents =)


Whoop de dooop ~~ Plus another reason to celebrate... Today, Carphone Warehouse text me to say that they had approved of my cash back. Actually I sent the application 2 months late but they still accept it. Yay ! I'll be getting back some money within 30 days.

It's amazing how God works miracles. I had never expected Carphone to accept my application, I just prayed and hoped. I'm not exaggerating any of this btw... Praise God ! This really testifies His great works =) WOW.

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That save a wretched like me
I once was lost, But now am found
Was blind, But now I SEE...
AMEN !

Hey Charm,it is really glad to know Pei Sian and my little effort can brought surprise to you,I never expected it.Anyway,I hope it was a''Happy''20th Birthday to you and I would not rather say it was an unforgettable one as it is still a far away compared to your wonderful plan.

Aiya,do not worry about $,anyway just an inexpensive little gift...Politics & Economics are always boring haha,Thx for not falling asleep whilst I was craping a lot on these issue.Thx for willing to hear and you should share with me "Young ppl" more...Honestly,I also wish to have
a younger mind to avoid generation gap which I m currently facing now with my peers,hihi...

Talking about my thought about birthday,I never celebrate with friends actually.Only some good friend know my birthday.Maybe you will think JL is a boring person and just keep everything to himself.

I believe in ''Faith'' , I strongly trust that my friend will appear automatically and it really happens all this while and all of them can get along with me quite well.Like you,I didn't know you even we were in the same college last time,and I knew you suddenly in London here.You are the first person I met in London,I will never forget it..It is my honor to know you,this is the "faith" I mean,hope you understand what I express.Hence,I am inactive in activities,I never volunteer to attend events/
functions to make myself being known with the intention to know more friends.My opinion is I will not find a genuine friend if I act like this.So may people will think JL is cool and with his unsmiling face.Maybe you will not agree with me.

Ok,too ''Cheong Hei'' and better stop now...My comment maybe longer than your article posted,''Pai Se'' hah and hope you don mind.
