lesson #00: the birthday party

Last night was... incredible. Thanks largely to the girls from Dance. Sydney, Candace, Kunali, Jun, and Celine turned up for dinner at Marche (although we only ate salad, calamari, and tiny slices of cheesecake). Here are some photos from Jun's camera (as you can see I was still wearing decent clothes at that time)...



Celine, the pretty birthday girl (hehe), and Jun



OK, the not-so-pretty birthday girl


From Marche, me and Syd hitched a ride from Gary to reserve seats for the rest while they took their own sweet time to reach Zouk. By the time everybody gathered, it was already the start of midnight madness and we ordered jugs and played the usual number game.


When we went to the dance floor, I saw Carrie and damn, she was hot! Her top looked like lingerie... And with her hair down she was one SEXY sizzling babe! Actually, all my beautiful friends were hot. Kunali was sultry. Sydney was a damn good dancer! Erk. Competition... Celine was crazy. Maggie was a lesbian. Hehe. A large number of guys surrounded us. They were like sharks circling around innocent, little, hot-babe fishies. Then the dance girls went to Zouk. Me and Maggie stayed at Phuture, though. I had to admit, looking back, it does feel that our private dance was sort of... too sexy? Oh well. We had fun.


For the next few hours I caught glimpses of people I know, faces I was familiar with. M came, but I didn't really get to spend a lot of time with him. He had his own friends as well. I met Corine by accident. We were screaming like banshees when we saw each other! I also bumped into Candace, but I didn't see Michelle for most of the night. Tim was around, but I think he was at Zouk most of the time. I saw half-famous people like the guy from Eye For A Guy (the lame one with the frog song, I think), a Singapore Idol reject... It was Benjamin, actually. My favourite. Not because he can sing or anything, but because he looked so good on camera. And he looked better in person, in the dark! He was shorter than I thought but damnit, I should've danced somewhere close to him! Who knows what might've happened then.


Overall, the night was sensational. Unforgettable. My darling friends are wonderful! I so love you all... MMMWAAHH! There are only two things that were bad about the night. The first thing is that everyone from SMU seemed to be there! I saw a lot of freshies and some seniors. I don't really like it, you can never be sure whether you will see that bitch that pushed you around in school again. The second bad thing is that they didn't play Superstar. Maybe it was played after I left. The music was getting better and better when I slowly made my way out... Oh well. It's still a disappointment not to be able to dance to my favourite song.


So today is my birthday. I'm 19 now. My birthday wish is simply to be nicer, to be more aware of the people around me, to be a better friend, to give more without expecting anything in return. Actually, I'm feeling pretty generous today. I think I'll buy myself that bag from Women'Secret... you know, as a birthday present.
