The past week

AiTing had an early birthday dinner celebration on the 30th of Oct..
What's so striking about this is that SHE ACTUALLY WORE A DRESS!



















hehe so feminine & skinny!

but it wasnt easy getting her to wear a dress out- shopped with her in London & literally had to drag her into the fitting room to get her to try on that piece of garment
















but the result turned out good! She even had contact lens & stockings & heels on! *whistles*
anyway, it all started during April's birthday last year, where she out-of-the-blue stupidly exclaimed that she would wear a dress on her 21st birthday.. this was on a voluntary basis and bear in mind that she wasn't in any event forced to make such a promise!! =D think she very much regretted after since she had insomnia a few days before her birthday trying to figure out how to get herself outta this disaster





















hehe, darling you don't know who you're messing with =p



















after dinner we headed to the tesco in Seacroft cause good mama hearts grocery shopping =)

















Tom manja-ing =)

















not wanting to be left out, April and I started picking up random items from the shelves =)















and then there were more =)


















spot the similarity =D
















FOOD SUPPLY!


















It was closed to closing time so that gave us plenty of space to fool around hehe















Oh & I found honey melons!! reminds us so much of home~















This random guai lo suddenly came up and asked for a picture~ must be that birthday glow =)
























April's new eye colour goes in tone with the c-o-c-o-n-u-t =) so cute
















I, in particular was very amazed by the way they set out those Pringles *looks up in wonder*


















This is what our cart looks like towards the end of the night.. =) like how we always do it..


Missed PixieLott yesterday at the Leeds night light festival sighh~

chill day

It's study week and finally we get to take a break from all the assignments, small group sessions, advocacy and conference etc...

it's good to just chill around at home and just sleep and wake up whenever you want~ I was deprived of that..
















So Hyde Terrace decided to have Japanese themed night today =) just for the fun of it~






















Tom works at a sushi place so he's chef/ supervisor for the night~






















co- worker
















end product























Purple Gloves Tom's friend stole from the dentistry department =)
















Soft shell crab Yiling fried Yumm















Jap all the way- but what's aiting doing?
btw the fan's there to cool down the rice =) the wonders of human invention~






















Itatakimass
















Presentation's important
we even have the candle in the middle for better ambiance =)













mochi and strawberries for dessert I likeeee =D




















New pet of the house hehe this rat has done April and me proud (managed to scare so many ppl *beams*).. we've yet to name it, April suggested mousey -_- can you be any more "original" ?













Sneak peak into our living area ~ nice right? We make an effort to clean the place every Friday.. so yeah Fridays are always cleaning day- sad in a way but it's fun if you do it together!

btw I tied a leash onto the rat (yeap that was exactly what i was holding in the pic) so it'll look more like a house pet =) right, think im going cuckoo with this course..





















someone else going cuckoo~

We're off to London again for another two dining sessions tomorrow~ it's 2.30 a.m. now and we're still all in the living room each chatting on msn and chilling~ ahh good times =)

into adulthood

the 21st have been an amazing one



This was dinner at Sing Khee & I really did not expect another cake after yesterday's surprise =D but Darlings know me well, I heart mangoesss!















Tried to get a mango cake for Yiling's birthday last year (since I like it haha) ~ but no one sells it cause it's NEVER in season =( and finally they got Stephenie to make one this year !









Birthdays will never be the same without you guys in the future =(







Hyde Terrace <3




The. Close. Ones.






Thank you for making my 21st happen despite the overwhelming workload ~ !
Plaza <3















Rowee's birthday was 4 days ago and we coincidentally wore yellow that day!
haha but she was so funny & had her coat on the entire time for fear of stealing my limelight~
I know you're just vulgar outside but still sweet on the in =) yea yea? *sayangs*













chabo's picking out ashes from the burnt flags on the cake






also, thank you Vj for everything















Hyde Terrace + 1









& of course Tom for hanging trash bags & blue kitchen rolls outside my room door- "Hahazzz"

Lisa came late so no pictures of her =D thank you for the gift though it was lovely~

















went plaza to hang out after that~













It was good quality time spent & just so you guys know I enjoy moments like this more even though Rowee kept accusing me of being bored =p
Nth beats hanging out with people whom you're most comfortable with and knowing that everyone actually did made the effort had already given me much more than I could've asked for













Came back home and April showed me a video compilation of friends from Aus, Malaysia and U.S !
IT MADE ME MISS YOU GUYS A LOT !! Thank you sooo sooo much~

















































































































































I don't need more surprises
fancy gifts or merry parties
to make this birthday any better
for I'm well blessed with everything anyone could've wished for
And I'm more certain than ever
that I'm already whelmed with the biggest happiness in life ~

The video's not available yet but I shall find ways to post it up soon =)

















thank you darling ! I loveee you for always making my birthday better than the best~!

with love,
Ding
