Yes people , it is finally my birthday ! I know you guys don't feel as excited as I do 'cause (duh) you're not the one turning seventeen this year , nor are you getting OLDER (noooooooooo) . I would like to thank fayadh baby <33 , yi zhong , ann , wen cheang , audrey , matthew , marcus , weng gan , shyuan , vince , myira , sofia , rachel , keith , ah boon , ijmal , sabrina , nicholas tan , mun choong , zkai , qisthina , pavitra , adam , natasha , wee jinn , elwin , kevin , justina , my bro and sis , my parents ,my parents' friends and all those people on myspace an friendster for wishing me Happy Birthday . I love you guys !

So the all of us woke up real early this morning because my dad had a very important appointment with a client near his office in Damansara Uptown . We had to follow because if we were to be lazy and sleep at home , we wouldn't go out for the whole day . We left Kota Kemuning at 8.45 a.m. and reached Damansara Uptown at 9.10 a.m. . My dad went for his appointment with his client and the four of us - me , mum , nick and hannah - went for breakfast at Old Town Kopitiam . We sat there from 9.10 till 11.20 then we finally left the place when my dad was done . We headed off to One Utama because 1) it is near to my dad's office , 2) I wanted to eat at Chilli's and 3) the three of us wanted to visit the Animax Youth Festival . When we arrived at One Utama , we headed off to MPH because my dad wanted to get a book about aliens . So we hung around MPH . I started browsing through books like always without any intention of owning them (bullshit) . My bro and sis got me a book entitled "The Not-So-Perfect Man" . My sister secretly told me that she specifically chose that title for me . I ignored what she said and walked on - I know , how evil of me . But hey , there are times when it's better if you shut your trap rather than open it . After my dad got his book and my birthday present was bought , we headed off to the AYF at Highstreet . We walked around looking at the entrepeneur stalls available and I actually wanted to stop and look at some home-made shirts on sale but didn't do so because my brother was rushing to look for his friend , Alif .

Yes , Alif . The noisy but entertaining little friend of his . He was hanging around a video game stall . At first I didn't notice , but after a matter of time , I realized that there was a crowd of people near Alif . I walked nearer and nearer and nearer and I finally caught sight of a set of drums . Not real 'uns . Arcade-looking ones . A guy playing that set of drums . The arcade-looking set of drums . I froze when I realized that the guy standing beside the guy playing the drums (arcade-looking ones - bah , you get the point !) was holding a guitar (the Guitar Hero-looking one) . Then my eyes slowly flickered over to the screen and then the shiny looking thing under the screen . It was a fucking Playstation 3 . It was a fucking Playstation 3 . It was a fucking shiny Playstation 3 , and those two guys were playing Rockband on it ! Boy was i jealous . I actually thought about pulling off all the cables off the PS3 and run away with it . But that would be so uncivilized .

And so I gave it a try on Rockband only to find out that guitar was laggy and it made me suck . Ha-ha . But the drums were easy , I mean , they looked easy . Amir looked like he was having a good time having a go on the drums while Alif happened to be struggling . So I just walked away to find a seat 'cause me feet were hurting real bad . It so happened that Seventeen - yes , Seventeen magazine - had a booth there too . So I stopped to take a look at photos of girls who got their pictures taken and were on a slideshow being played on a screen . I also saw girls live getting their pictures taken and catwalking . I wasn't really impressed so , whatever lah kan . Before I could continue looking for a seat , my brother and Alif appeared and started talking to me about .. something which I could not recall because the only thing in my mind then was to find a godforsaken seat .

Then , this girl walked up to me and asked if I would like to join their Seventeen Model Search . My answer ? Kinda obvious is it not ? I politely said no and attempted , yes , attempted to walk away . But I was stopped by my sister , brother and Alif . They wanted me to take part "just for fun" apparently . Fine . It is my birthday anyway , so I had to be sporting . Righht . So , whatever lah kan , I said yes (ohmefuckin'gawdnoooo denise ! whyyyyy ?) . I had to fill in a form which I do not think it wise to reveal what I had to fill in and proceeded to have my pictures taken (ew) . Okay , what happened during the photo session is entirely private and confidential . Yes , you heard me . All P&C . "Why?" you ask . Well , it's embarassing having to describe in detail - although I only took like , what , 5 pictures ? I was required to do a -ehem - catwalk . I can assure you Qisthina , I did not strut my stuff nor did I rock it . I walked more than I catwalked . I don't consider it a catwalk at all , what I did . I have no idea how they're gonna announce the winners or whatever . I'm not really bothered . I just have to focus on SPM ! Ahhhhhh !

After all that was over , we ate at Chilli's and left . We left my brother behind though , he followed Alif home . We reached home at about 4.15 and I immediately went online to do alotta crap which we could skip actually . At 6 I went out to see my baby (I missed him so much) and we hung out and took alotta funny pictures . Then we ate Domino's for dinner and we cut my birthday cake ! ann couldn't make it so only fuu and mc came . I had fruit cake ! Finally , no chocolate cake . I'm kinda sick of it already . Bleargh . I wished my wish which is a secret , and I blew out the candles on my cake . For the first time in like , 10 years , my dad kissed me on the cheek (ohmygawd the stubbles!) and so did my mum . My brother kissed me for the third time and mc and fuu just ate cake . So yeah , it was a great day but I'm really disappointed that I can't have my baby sing me the birthday song and cut my cake together with him . But I'm gonna bring a piece of cake for him tomorrow so that he wouldn't miss out on his baby's birthday cake :)

Okay I'm really sleepy right now . I wanna go sleep right now , but I have to shower first . Damn , I forgot that there's school tomorrow . Good night !

P/S : mc taught me how to say the word "moan" in German . He said merve (the new German girl) taught him how to say "moan" in German . I actually forgot how it went . German is complicated .
