My 20th and the pre-trip rush

Spend some time replying those facebook wishes. Thank you friends, all of you for the wishes. I really appreciate them, especially to those who wrote more than just a happy birthday :) My 20th was simple but pleasant and happy :) I actually fell asleep at 10pm on 29th since I was bored and might as well sleep those horrible eye bags away. So Weijie called me and he was at the door! Opened it to surprise and my sis was there too :) 2 cakes for me at 12am and I feel really blessed. Sometimes celebrating with the loved ones around really is more than enough. Maybe my exams have ended right before my birthday so I'm really exhausted and all.

Went out with Weijie for a movie, and we caught 'Immortals'. It's really good and pretty mind-blowing in terms of effects and the action scenes. But lots of blood shed and quite a bit of gore scenes so it's not too good for the faint-hearted! Headed to 333 Restaurant at the Mandarin Orchard Hotel for my birthday dinner and it's a buffet!! We were so bloated after our first round but we managed to hang in there for more round :) But honestly, The Rise at MBS was way, thousand times better than 333 :( How disappointing. And 333 is more expensive than The Rise, considering it's a 90 dollars per pax meal, so it's not worth it :'( But we went with a 1-for-1 promotion so yup, not too bad afterall.

Bb got me a really pretty agnes b wallet :') and this really motivated me to start using a proper wallet since I've never had one for a long time. And my beloved sister got me a laptop bag from fabrix because she remembered that I loved hers at first sight :) 2 great useful gifts this year thank you Sis and Weijie! <3

Today, headed to Weijie's house with my anyhow-packed haversack. Really lazy to pack my bag for Vietnam. There's so much to pack. Then we tried cooking chicken rice with his mum and his aunt in the kitchen, had a good time laughing at the aunties bickering away and busy teaching us how to cook and all. We'll be cooking chicken rice for the vietnamese folks, hope it'll taste as good as what we had today.

Leaving for Vietnam in another 12 hours. Hope it'll be a good and memorable trip. Afterall, it's community work, really hope what we will be doing will help improve the lives of the kids there in one way or another. Coming back on 22nd December and I'll definitely miss home alot:( Miss my family and Lina baby. Can't wait to be back with them soon. And to meet my friends!

Take care everyone! I'll be back soon. See you all in 20 days time :)
