somehow, i gotta shy bloggin abt my bdae, musta age tinky.. whatever it is, i need to write abt my neat & fun day.

i really-really wanted to meet jen on my bdae. we had lunch & it made me happy. even though the food wasnt fantastic.. we had pasta stylo at csm (city square mall)

side- tracked: few days ago..
ahahh !
this is funny.

i asked jen ‘what happen if pumpkin gave me a bdae present? suddenly tot of that & it made me go, shit ! bdae present. how?’
jen: what do you mean how? its YOUR bdae. he’s suppose to give you present.
me: but i don’t want present !

*frown.

she roll her eyes.

sue me for my limited dating experience.
*stick my tongue out.

anyway, pumpkin got me these: 

*stupidly asked fef driver ‘what is this’
i noe its flowers yet whats with the huge box? (h 210 cm w 100cm)

‘someone’ is silly enough to ask ‘which day will you be home. i, erm want to send u something’  haha !

he later informed me ‘you MUST go to office on sat!’ haha ! not very smart.

anyway..
i wanted to do the forest adventure tinky, i wanted to clear those items on my to-do-list. but when i sat down & tot abt what i really want.. i decided i want a quiet bdae. no adventure, notink daring.

side – tracked: always wanted..
he asked me this when i was wonderin what to do on my bdae.

pumpkin: why are you in a rush to explore places?!

hmm.. let me answer him here. i’m not in the ‘rush’ but yes i do wanna explore. you only live once? live is too short? do what make you happy?
take your pick.

supper with pumpkin.
happily updating him my week.

*sudden outcry

we looked around and damn there’s a cockroach crawlin on the wall above our head. seriously. what with me & cockroach?!

i couldnt take my eyes off the cockroach. suddenly, it flew across the mcd restaurant. (oh yeap, we are at mcd) goodness ! FLYING COCKROACH !!

pumpkin told me, ‘pls let go of my sleeves’ oh. without realising, i was clinging on to pumpkin’s sleeves.

 the mcd staff shift us to another table & set abt catchin the cockroach. duh. they practically had to go through a AGM meeting deciding what the best way to capture the little monster. whine to pumpkin ‘stop tokin abt it. just catch it !! before it flew around the restaurant!!’

finally. finally.

the cockroach was captured. i asked pumpkin ‘can i clap? hero in the house’

the following conversation took place.
me: do you dare to catch it?
pumpkin gave me a smile.

repeated my qn.
another smile from him.

finally he took a break from eating his fries & cheeseburger & told me, he will.

oh? wow. realised he was quietly but happily njoyin the cheeseburger, wasnt affected by the flying cockroach, while i was freaking out.

ugh ! cockroaches ! conclusion: never deprived a man of mcd !
