These 21st parties are never ending. I have partied weekend after weekend after weekend. I think finally there will be a break between now and probably late January where there are no more 21st. Not only are these 21st taking a toll on my energy and sleep but also my bank account! lolz I'm so glad I have an income at the moment otherwise it would be very painful to see money I don't even have disappear so fast.

So this weekend consisted of Bum and Al's 21st. So I'll start with Bum's (aka Mel).

09/12/05: Mel's 21st party
She held it at her house and there were about 60-70 people there. Her house was decorated with pink and silver balloons which looked awesome! Im gonna do that for mine but mine will be blue and silver, of course! hehe. Some of the gurls and I have made the tradition of when we each have our 21st we have to wear a tiara. I'll post up photos later but yeah, Mel looked so cute. It was one of those kid's tiaras with the fluffy pink bit on it. hehe. And she was a good sport, wearing it for the whole nite. So anyways, her mum had prepared all this yummy food for us... and her brother Jason was the bartender - some bartender, it took him 10mins just to get me a glass of water! haha. Overall, the nite was fantastic.

The speeches were great! I had to do one for her and I was hyperventilating beforehand but in the end, all was good. I got up there and did my best and a few people afterwards said I did a good job. So I was please about that. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to deliever the speech properly so that it was actually entertaining for everyone. But there was laughter, which is always a good sign, unless there were laughing AT me... not WITh me! :( The only thing I would have change was that I didn't have to go first out of me, rani, bud and mikey. They totally ruined the point of my speech! My speech was about the relationship that I have with Melanie and how it only extends to being really good friends. There have been rumours (only jokingly) that we are 'more than friends'. haha. So I cleared that point up and made sure everyone that nite knew the truth. And after I had made my speech, I thought I did a good job of that. But then came along rani, bud and mikey who totally ignore the point of my speech and told the exact opposite! So in the end, my speech was pointless coz it got destroyed by the guys. lolz. anyways, you had to be there to actually know what I'm talking about. hehe.

After speeches, we sang happy birthday and cut the cake. The cake was beautiful! It was made by one of her family friend. There were some comments made saying it looked like a wedding cake! haha... but only one layer. Not quite sure what falvour it was. It was a citrus taste tho... like lemon or orange. For her present, I made a collage of all the photos we have taken in the past year and a bit. That took more time and effort than I anticipated. I had to get different photos and make sure that they were placed in the right positions. But in the end, it looked quite good, except the fact that I didnt get the right measurements so it didn't fit in the frame properly. Oh wellz, next time I'll get it rite.

Hope you had a great nite Mel. And I hope you liked my pressie. I won't wish you happy birthday yet. You'll have to wait for your actual birthday! :) *hugglez*




Well, its back to work tomorrow. And I have to say, I look foward to working more often coz I'm really enjoying it. I'm getting used to all the products and where everything goes in the store. My manager is really friendly and the other staff members are so much fun to work with. It a really good working environment. I think you're lucky when you find a job that you enjoy going to all the time.

Well, I'm off to recharge my body. Getting sick from lack of sleep :(
