Babbling

That's it. DAMN IT! I AM DONE BEING SILENT ALL THE TIME. If i don't say anything, it doesn't mean i don't mind about it. I BLOODY WELL MIND IT! I really hate it when i (my Dad actually) should pay for something that's totally-absolutely wasn't my mistake!
Okay.. *inhale* *exhale*
Nobody is suppose to pay anything for someone else' mistake, right?

Crap, alright.. no one will bloody well understand what i said if i don't explain it from the beginning.
There's this trip me and my friends were planning.. We are suppose to have a Medan-Kuala Lumpur-Singapore-Medan trip for about 6 or 7 days on the 19th October (which is next month).. And my friend here order her Dad's secretary to arrange everything from flight to accomodation to hotel.
And later on 20th Spetember we found out that there's a mistake.
Somehow this highly- unprofessional, foolish, need-more-training miss secretary put our flight to 19th September! and on that exact day we refund every single ticket and hotel booking only to find out that we should loose around 100 US dollar each. And the point being here is that although having 10 bathrooms at home i refuse to pay 100 dollar for somethin that's not my mistake (i rather buy Alan related thingy with those money). But well.. though she deserve it, deep in our heart we couldn't possibly let miss secretary payin that sum of money. So i offer to pay plane's ticket refund which about 40 US dollar. Right now i'm still seein how things will go..

and well.. just need to get this mind-bugging thing out of my mind.. :P
      

Happy Birthday... to Me!

Haiya… It looks like my family doesn’t quite understand what a 17^th birthday means to a teenager like me. I expect a bit chicky-chack, merry and cherry and a little bling-bling here and there you know. But alas! Looks like they’re as cozy and as simple as usual, I don’t blame them of course. I never did. It was a family thing… We are all homey style.. Don’t like celebration and that kind of stuff…

I myself didn’t like to celebrate my birthday by inviting too many people. I did once. 4 or 5 years ago or something like that, I can’t remember the exact time. It was a Mega Birthday Party when I was a spoiled brat, so extravagant, it was at the city’s best restaurant but then I found myself not quite enjoying it as much as I would like to, even though it’s nice to have a lot of friends, their parents and school teachers around, singing that Happy Birthday song to me.

So, after that one time mental disaster, I decided not to celebrate my birthday in that excessive style anymore.. Especially inviting so many unknown people (not actually unknown, only that I didn’t knew them very well).

These are certain people who made my day today:

~People who knew me so well and says Happy Birthday as the clock hits

00:00

or in Tiwi’s case as soon as they realize my birthday is on 15^th not 16^th.

~People who said Happy Birthday and smile at me as soon as they found out.

~People in Friendster who send me birthday messages and testimonials.

~People in Claudia’s Alan Rickman Download Haven Guest Book who send me many birthday wishes though I’m the least informative of the group ;)

~ And Alan Rickman for having Perfume, Snow Cake and Nobel Son out this year so I can enjoy your new brilliant performances soon.

Anyhow, enough with that…

Hm.. To be honest, I prefer being with myself in this special day, just walking around the mall, watching movie or eat dinner. Alone. All by myself. Which is what I exactly did last year, I did enjoy my solitude so much and plan to repeat it this year. But then I thought, why not done something else this year? I’m officially 17 years old today. I get to legally drink alcohol and will get my Identity Card soon.

So I ask only my best friends for a lunch. Nik, Jac and Gin. Catch them just after school, without exact invitation before they won’t have time to even think about preparing presents for me (though it’ll be very flattering if they did such thing).

Hm… It turned out to be quite nice. I think I got quite many good memories from today.

I didn’t actually get any kind of present today.. Literally.. but I got something more that a present..

I found out what Tiwi think about us which made me almost cry (thank you babe).

I found out why FREEKZ is whom I think my “only” best friend until today.

I found out my fancy of Alan Rickman getting more and more massive ;)

And I found out who and who didn’t really think about me.

So, this year is not so bad… Its just the best I ever had… J
