Mental note to self

Don't be too much of "myself" when out partying...

Here goes!

Here's the run through of the PAINFUL experience!

The sign at the door of Johnny 2 Thumbs...

I'm glad my attitude was pretty good.

Resizing the design...

Deciding on the position 

(he wasn't even paying attention!)

Smile while I still can...

The outline...

The beginning of a PAINFUL 1 hour!

Here's a look at the 1st 30sec of the horrendous hour!

Imagine needles poking at 20 times per sec...

I have never hugged a chair so tightly b4...

Stuff that went buzz buzz buzz...

Stupid Yang enjoying herself while I was totally in pain...

Awww... pwetty colours...

Done! In 1 hour... I whole hour of SUFFERING!!

Feeling absolutely proud of myself...

Whoever that says the pain will only last the 1st 10 min, it's all a PACK OF LIES! It lasted and lasted. I thought I will never end. I'm so not gonna do this ever again!!!! GEEEZZZ!!!

Inked!

Guess what? I finally plucked up all the courage in the world and got myself inked! Not as glamour as Miami ink, but I love the end result!

Why do it, you ask? Well... Why not?! I'm hitting 29 in 3 days. Gotta to something stupid b4 I hit the big 3-0!! And it's a birthday present for myself. I have always wanted 1. So it's time for me to throw away all the worries - mom freaking out, dunno how my friend who a few days ago watched tv and say this girl with a small star tattoo on her foot and went "if she's my daughter, I'll kill her!" gonna react. Sigh... How to break the news? Oh well. I'll juz take it a step at a time and worry about it later.

Now my worry is how I take care of the red raw wounds. It's on my back and I haf no idea how to put medication and bandage on it coz I can't reach it at all! Sheesh!!

Will let you noe the details of the whole process some other time. I really dun wan to be reminded of the painful hour now!

Here it is... TADA!!

逢九不庆生

周杰伦说“逢九不庆生”，所以今年他选则在他的生日那天开演唱会。我真的应该乖乖听他的话。

Today is my lunar birthday.  My family always celebrate lunar birthdays and never ang mo birthday. And guess what? They almost forgot. You know how people says not to celebrate birthday after it's over? They have missed last weekend to celebrate, so tonite, they decided to hurriedly come to Raffles Place to meet me for dinner. It seems sweet to people who dunno, but it's a major stress for me and I'd rather not celebrate.

妈：星期五我们去找你吃晚餐。

我：好咯。你们要吃什么？

妈：随便咯。你比较懂那里有什么好吃的。

Stress... You know mothers. They never mean it when they say 随便. And my dad is quite particular with food. He's definitely NOT 随便. Also, this 2 words have successfully passed the responsibility of planning the "party" to me. I have to plan for my own celebration??

The next day

我：你们想吃怎么样的东西？

妈：我们去吃上次你带我们去吃的火锅。不错！

See, she actually know what she want to eat, but she pretend to be chin cai.

Tonite, I wasn't really hungry. And I just had steamboat for lunch due to the special request from the person I met for lunch. So I wanted to suggested other more unique things.

我：我很饱，吃火锅不划算。我们吃别的。你们要吃中餐，西餐，日本餐，还是韩国餐？

妈：随便。你想。

我：爸，你想吃什么？

爸：随便。

妈：吃中餐。你爸爸喜欢吃中餐。

Just now ask you, you dun answer. Now I ask others, you decide on his behalf. Fine, go to Village Wok, as suggested by my lunch kaki then.

At Village Wok

妈：你点菜。我看不懂菜单。

爸：我没带眼镜，看不到。

我：那我选则不要吃。

Then mom looked at the menu and decided. We wanted to place orders.

1st choice, braised pork trotters... Dun have. Waitress insist we take the deep fried 1. We rejected.

2nd choice, China white cabbage... Dun have. Waitress insist we take some other cabbage. Reject.

3rd try... 4th try...

Dad was pissed.

爸：我们要的你都没有，那是我们在点菜还是你点菜？？

I picked up my phone, called my bro, picked up my bag and walked out of the restaurant without even telling the waitress we dun wan to eat already. Parents followed suit.

Went to the steamboat place to appease "everyone". Mom and dad seems happy. Ok, as long as dun stress me out will do. Bro was already there when we reached. I sat down and told him I'm not eating. Then he says he actually dun wan to eat there, but mom says I wan to eat there. WHAT??!?!!? Since when it became ME who decided on that venue?

Then my bro decides to ask my dad if he wants to have Japanese food. My dad loves Japanese food (amazingly), so we know he won't resist. But as usual, he says “随便”。

Anyway, after the 3rd try, we went to a Japanese restaurant. Bro ordered for our parents coz we know they are gonna say that 2 words again. We'll just decide and order, and get it over and done with. I wasn't hungry, so I ordered nothing at 1st, but decide to give face and ordered a bowl of ramen (everyone else eating set meals). But somehow, they missed out my orders. My noodles din come.

Everyone seems to forgot what the "party" was about. They continued enjoying the dinner with me sipping on my green tea.

At the end, we left, without my food arriving.

At home

爸：你有没有煮 面线给她吃？

妈：没有。你要吃吗？我去煮。

What's the point? It's already obvious nobody could be bothered. The dinner is really for formality sake. I really dun need the dinner.

逢九不庆生？我以经告诉我妈妈了，从此以后我都不庆生了！！！
