_____________________________Yes~ Once again its that time of the year again :/
****24th November****
I used to love birthdays, couldn't wait for time to pass
so that I can grow up faster....
But apparently it seems that in recent years,
after I grew out of my teens,
I begin to look less forward to my birthday each year.
Perhaps its due to the obvious fact that I'm getting older...
(gravity please have mercy on me~)
Not only do I look older,
I seem to be more unhappy.
Ahhhh.....responsibilities~
Worse of all,
I think 24hours in a day isn't sufficient for me.
TIME TIME I need more time... :S

Right.
Enough of my rattling..
Here's 22 pics to sum up my 22nd :X
On the eve of my bd,
Yuki asked me to drop by her house to pick up something..
I thought she was going to pass me like some normal thing
although I did suspect that it might be my present.
When I walked into Dennis,
she asked me to go to Reagan's room..
Upon entering, I saw a lovely bouquet of flowers sitting on the desk!
Damn fake I know~
My first thoughts were:
"Whoa yuki, from who?
Reagan, Adrian and you ah.."
She said "No..."
And I went like "who? Bren?"
She still replied "No.. you guess la"
Then I said I really dont know..
Then she went " BAN la~"
hahahaha at that moment..
I was really shocked!
I didn't expect Ban to send me flowers..
Was really pleasantly surprised..
Thanks Ban love them.

Anyway before we go on...
This year's hatchday have been like a rollercoaster.
Other than not having Ney, family and bitches around,
it started off on a pretty bad note.
Well some things are better left untouched so we shall not go there~
Anyway yes..
for the past 21 years,
there have always been people around me during my bd.
Good 2 day of celebration annually.
However this year,
not only do most of my new friends not know that its my bd,
even the my dad's friends staying under the same roof are oblivious!
Boy did I managed to keep it low..
HOWEVER~
on a lighter note..
this year I had invited one special guest to spend the day with me..

__________________________________________
Finally my group of Mahjong khakis a.k.a HK friends
found the time to gather and go on day trip!
(hey the rest that couldn't come prob next time k?!)
Pretty last min planning as per normal.
Well, Kyle decided that we should go visit a cherry farm
as most of us haven't had much on hand experience with cherries...
so yeah.. we planned!
Monash students turned fruit pickers for a day~!
Started the day early and the 9 of us drove 60km east of Melb
to Redhill Cherry farm in Frankston.
Brought good old Marvey and my friend's station wagon.
For more info :http://www.cherryhill.com.au/startpage.html
Good old Marvey and red babe???
The funny thing is when we arrived at cherry farm,
we had to drive down a pretty steep (45degree) slop off the highway down to the farm.
Right.
There were 5 of us in the car right, 3 gals n 2 guys.
My 2 gal friends were scared cause they couldn't see the end of the slop..
So they screamed and said they wanted to get down!
But I said, NVM wait first..
perhaps get my guy friends to go down and check.
So 2 of them went down..
THEN..
the gals said I think we better get down too..
OMG..
ALL my passengers went down..
I laughed like crazy...
my friends in the other car were laughing their heads off..
OMG terribly funny and embarressing?!
It's like whoa nobody trusts me???
so yea.. I drove down that slope and it wasnt that bad after all...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.
Well what a way to start the day~ :P

Entrance cum ticket area
Rows and rows of cherry trees~
Buckets to fill~
Unriped cherries
Couldn't resist cam whoring ;P
Wendy and myself
Our harvest after a hard day at work...
As it was still early..
We decided to drive about 10 km further up to the coastline.
Safety Beach..
What a name...
Anyway yea... we took alot of photos too..
The sun was really good that day,
and all our photos turned out really nice.
Especially those in front of the beach houses :)
Kristy and me
Celia and me
Guess whose leg?
As you all know I love to take backviews
Love these...Like damn pro..Anyway for yr info...
these beach houses are really expensive..
Although they are containers,
They can cost up to AU$100,000 to own.
This is due to the fact that in order to protect the natural beauty of the beaches in Victoria,
the government has banned any more building of beach houses.
So it means that what ever that is existing is there..
Somemore,
$100,000 for a container on the beach,
with no water facilities, no sleeping or staying over?
If I'm not wrong there are only about 50-80 of them around Victorian beaches?
Not really sure but I know that they're in popular demand
and the waiting list for them is unbeliveably long.
Talk about things that you can't buy even if you have $$$.
Yeap!
Fantastic day with a crazy bunch of people!

The story of the confidant.
___________________________
Way before the Wedding+Church mouse union existed,
Wedding mouse was not a happy mouse.
She was often troubled by another companion she was with.
However~
Wedding mouse was grateful that
there was the frequently understated confidant
who never fail to lift her spirits up everytime.
Their story goes.......
_________________________________________
The beginnings
......................................
It was the first day of school.
Wedding mouse was as usual,
fashionably late.
When she got to the hall where everyone was already in rows,
she panicked and looked around for the nearest teacher
where she could ask for information.
After wedding mouse got wind of what class she was in,
she scurried to the row she was supposed to be in and sat down.
Next to her was this gal this tanned character.
She turned over and looked at Wedding mouse and said:
"Shall we partner?"
As Wedding mouse vividly remembers,
lolx.
Naturally Wedding mouse said "Yes, why not?"
Little did she know that that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship,
a union that the Wedding mouse would cherish and appreciate
for the rest of her mousey life.
She was,
Ms. Fishball (F.B). a.k.a affectionally as
KALAMASI.
(BEFORE, YR2001)
Little is known of the origins of such an exotic name
but Wedding mouse loves it.
....................................................
The process
.....................................................
Ironically,
things change after orientation.
Ms. F.B. DECIDED that she wanted to hang out with the older crowd.
They were a bunch that played volleyball with her..
Although Wedding mouse was in the same sport,
she preferred to hang out with people of her own age. :P
So~
for a year or two,
they maintained as friends and classmates,
occasionally hanging out together.
At that point in time,
Wedding mouse was in a shaky relationship as well.
.......................................
The turning point
........................................
Almost towards the end of Wedding Mouse's 1.5year relationship with Bastard Cat,
she decided to go on a geography excursion to sunny Phuket, Thailand
just for a breather.
Ms. F.B went along as well...
Throughout the trip many hilarious incidents occurred.
Among the many was one particular incident
that brought their relationship to a higher level.
Here goes~
During one of the day trips to some beach,
Ms.F.B and Wedding Mouse found a hermit crab.
As Ms.F.B has this certain obessesion with creatures in shells
(apparently she finds it cute),
she took one back to the hotel
where she shared a room with
the Walrus and Wedding Mouse.
When darkness fell,
and the Walrus went to bed,
Ms.F.B hid in the toilet to tried to force the creature,
a hermit crab out of its shell.
Hearing the commotion,
Wedding mouse came to the toilet to take a peek.
Being the mischevious mouse that she was,
she told Ms.F.B to pour hot water over the shell and
used an tweezer to extract the crab out of its home.
They laughed and giggled and had tremendous fun
torturing the poor creature.
Soon,
they emerged victorious!!!!!
Ms.F.B won her shell and Wedding mouse found her best friend~ :)
.....................................................
The breakup
.....................................................
It came to the time where Wedding mouse
decided to break up with Bastard Cat.
Not only was Ms.F.B there to lend her shoulder,
she proved to be the best listening ear
and support anyone could ever wish for.
Ms.F.B accompanied her everywhere she wanted to go,
and even though they didn't live nearby,
she came to her place almost after school everyday so that
she would not be left alone,
to think and to hope that there was a reconciliation.
Fishball was her pillar.
Wedding mouse knew that if Ms.F.B was the one she could really rely on.
Till this day,
Wedding mouse knows that if it wasn't for Ms.F.B's support
during those crucial times after the breakup,
she may have never ever been able to get over it!
:')
......................................................
Beyond that day
......................................................
Years passed.
They both grew up,
had their ups and downs,
seen each other made new friends,
witnessed falling out with others,
got into trouble and mischief together,
survived backstabs together,
graduate from school,
found respective partners,
changed looks countless times.
(AFTER, YR2006)
Not only pretty, womanly yet cute :p
.......................................................
The present
........................................................
Well time have passed.
Mousey is presently living in another continent 7.5 hours away from Ms.F.B.
Wedding mouse remembers that when she left,
Ms. Fishball gave her a diary that contains pictures and recollections of them
over the years....
How they grew and changed.
While reading it on the plane,
mousey teared...
She was touched.
At the airport,
Ms.F.B cried the loudest!
Even more than Church mouse.
However,
despite the distance,
they still have managed to keep in close contact,
speaking to each other at least once a week.
Mousey loves Fishball.
She's grateful that she's found such a good friend
that she could trust and have such chemistry with.
She's pretty much the one that helped Wedding mouse
through the dark and difficult times over the years.
For the record,
its stated that:
"Sagittarius and Aquarius people make the best friends!"
Every year,
this pair of little friends just couldn't wait till the holiday comes
when its time for them to meet up again and do silly things together~
_______________________________________
Lolx..
well Ms.F.B was jealous that Wedding mouse wrote Church mouse a story,
so she told me to write one as well...
Basically its a summary of how we became friends~
Oh well babe,
I did it ya...
Thanks for everything....
and...
You know I love ya~! :)
(I'm prepared! I know you're so gonna kill me for this :P hehez)
