Joan's Birthday BBQ, Millie's 21st birthday, a SF gig on Sat and Joan's actual birthday outing!

Too much to blog about all the events that happened in the past 4 days, suffice to say, i've had a really fun n tiring n exciting long weekend (minus the sorethroat and the couple squabbles during the past few days) n it kind of feels so weird to be back at work after enjoying the weekend so much! Well, not all was fun n happy though, i actually quarrelled with joan i think about 3 times, once before reaching Millie's chalet, second at her BBQ, n even in the morning of her brithday itself.. sigh. When I think about it I even feel a little heartache. But I'm here to blog about the good stuff first!

1. Millie's birthday

After work, had a drink with colleagues (on an empty stomach) and met up with Joan to go to the aranda chalet together, halfway on the journey i felt so sick n broke out in cold sweat all over my body n almost wanted to puke! i will never ever drink on an empty stomach ever again! that was a horrible experience! anyway that led to a short quarrel with Joan, saying i never take care of myself, n other things i can't remember, only that i was so pissed off i almost didn't want to go to the party. but things worked out alright in the end, we had a lot of fun sitting the swing n doing other fun stuff at pasir ris park, after the cake cutting with Millie, Yanqin n Jeremy. there were really a lot of pple there, i think as many as 60 pple scattered thru out the chalet n BBQ pit! Ian gave flowers to Millie n they look so happy together, i'm almost envious of them. Haha. but there were so many pple in the chalet n it felt so crowded, rohan, christine, neo, daryl, julia, meqi, nic, joan n myself spent about 2 hours playing at pasir ris park, rather than sit n watch the stephen chow movie in the chalet. everyone went home close to 2 am except joan n i, who stayed to fellowship n watch another movie with millie's friends, quite funny, i think i laughed quite loudly n woke the sleeping pple. hehz. we hung around until about 6 am before catching a cab home.

2. Sat - the gig without Boon!

Sat's gig was quite funny, a bit messy, but quite fun overall. reid made a super obvious mistake, n the FHW was speeding up n slowing down at different parts, n some pple were annoyed with each other, the vibe wasn't so good. but like what joan said, for a gig without Boon, its actually not too bad. a shame we didn't play flightphesy to warm up!

oh n we went to shop at ntuc near joan's house with yishan, toonsiong, bk n of cos joan. then at night after the gig we went to suntec carefour to buy smoked salmon. it was expensive! but ok lah, worth it.

3. Joan's Birthday BBQ

bowen n BK really helped out a lot at the BBQ, so many thanks to these guys! also, thanks to everyone who helped out, n those who made the effort to come down eventhough they're not that close to joan, she was really quite touched. i think i spent like $200+ for everything for the BBQ, and that's not even including the food stuff provided by my mum, joan's mum, clarence mum (the cake!) and the packet food my dad bought from the coffeeshop behind my house! there were really too many pple, i think about 50+ pple who came in total, although a few left early.

i'm happy that joan really enjoyed herself, n she loves being with all of her friends, just chilling n chatting n eating n relaxing. i mean, the effort n sweat n running up n down n driving pple around is all worth it, as long as my dear is happy. =) just thinking about her brings a smile to my face.

i think she got about 6-7 presents at the BBQ? not sure cos too many groups of pple there liao. good thing the cake was really huge n there was quite a big piece left over, taken care of by yuhong. haha. oh n i remember for me the most fun (or funny!) part was when junyi drove his car by blasting retro music, n we all dance mambo around his car! that was really hilarious, stupid, lame but fun too! mambo music rocks! hahaha. the strikeforce pple came quite late, but they got the best food reserved specially for them. haha.

think i'll blog about joan's actual birthday celebration another time. i'm going home for dinner.

oh yeah, this year firm is damn stingy with holidays, only 2 days off, of which one is compulsory leave! basket, this is ridiculous, i really feel boss is being quite unreasonable. but what to do, once i get my bonus, n the economy recovers, i'm getting my ass out of this place.
