So this year we celebrated the boy's birthday a little earlier cause the actual day falls on a camp day.

I would have liked to celebrate the occasion (it's his 21st) with a bang, but he wanted a simple one. He also specifically requested very simple presents cause he feels like he doesn't really need anything when he's in camp all the time, and botak ! Haha.

So grown up eh? He's like the exact opposite of me sometimes. Awwww.

A couple of months ago, I would have snorted if you told me he's the more mature one between the two of us but lately, I'm realizing that's kindof the case. Believe me, if it were my 21st, I would never ask for a simple gift. He he he.

His family whipped up a steamboat for him on the day of his book out and starving as we were (we were all hungry like mad, i could tell from everyone's faces), nobody touched the food until he stepped through the door !!

Ahem, I had a spoonful of soup though, couldn't help myself. Plus I had to do it secretly. Zoom, slurp, all in a swift motion.

He probably rushed like mad but only got home close to 11pm.

Anyhow, it was a really nice dinner, and I also realized that I really heart having dinner with his family. Don't think I've had such a dinner like that in ages.

After dinner, kicked back and satisfied. I couldn't resist this little birdy when I went to get his wrapper ! Cute max right !

And this is what gave me my backache theother day. Eh eh eh, Seems simple but took me three looong hours okay ! Hahaha. Had alot of fun completing it though. It's 3D ! Don't playplay.

I had the day planned for him, to be ended with a simple birthday dinner.

We both woke up late (or i woke up late as always), and had to hurry to town.

My hair's even still wet in the photo.

Decided to have a quick bite in Din Tai Feng before we went about our day's activities. Didn't want to gorge ourselves, had to leave room for the night !

When I saw this, I immediately went, "OMG why so small huh???".

And he was all "Lol, $3 plus what you expect".

But seriously, this is bite sized. Bite sized toufu, I could pick up the whole thing and place it in my mouth and it'll be gone in 3 seconds.

Can never have enough Xiaolongbaos, though, we do prefer Crytal Jade's. And that's the steam condensing on my lens.

Doo doooo dooo doooo. And that's it for our lunch.

On a sidenote, he seemed to really like carrying my new bag that day. Perhaps cause it's not too girlish?

Sometimes, I insist on carrying on my own bag. But then again, he'll insist otherwise and I'm always tempted. Having boyfriends' carrying our totes about kindof takes away a little bit of their masculinity doesn't it?

And it's dinner time ! I was really excited about dinner, but in the end, both of us ended up making fun of the entire process. He said he felt like he was drinking blood for the entire dinner.

At about 9pm, which was the earliest reservation I could manage the day before, we headed to Brazil on 6th Avenue.

I was 15? the first I ever went to that place with Elaine and her family. Lol ! I loved it then ! but somehow, this time was.... hmmmmmm....

Still loving their cheesy pastry thingy though. Yumyum.

We gave up pretty quickly.

All that meat was pretty overwhelming and I didn't manage to eat much either.

He took lots of salad and said that the meat was bringing his cholesterol up so he needed some greens to bring it down. Lol.

Me thinks this photo supper funny and gross at the same time. Hahahaha.

Meathead.

I did the cake but I don't dare even show you guys a close up of it !!

He was the one who gave himself the blue teeth huh, not me.

Hahahahaha ! Don't look ! The design is quite ehhhhh... but he finished the whole thing the following day all by himself ! All I had was a few bites.

And presents !

He opened the first box and it was actually just a Casio for him to put on in camp and he simply peeled a piece of the wrapper, saw the blue bit of cardboard box beneath and sat it aside before quickly trying to unwrap theother.

Lol !

I protested and he explained that he already knew what that one was.

Eh ! How can like that. Discriminate and neglect my Casio. Tsktsktsk.

Still, I really hope you like your presents and enjoyed you 21st. (:(:

And over here, I'd like to relate something that took place theother day. Okay, just to warn you, it's a really long story and may be irrelevant but whatever, I want to share it.

I was sleeping and it felt like I was having a bad dream the entire night.

I dreamt Ruizhang was actually a jerk of a boyfriend and we were fighting the entire time. Then of course, I cried after fighting and was really mad but all he did was pretend like he didn't see and went about doing his things all the time blatantly ignoring me and my dramatic display of woe.The drama is besides the point as he was really acting like a jerk in the dream.

During which, I did not feel like this was unlike him at all cause it felt soooooo realistic. I couldn't really understand why I was feeling so miserable and mistreated, as, to my understanding, most boys act this way when they get into fights with girls ! Or, I may be wrong, but come on.

Anyway, that is also besides the point. The point is, I was deeply upset and had thrown myself onto the bed sobbing my heart out when I suddenly woke up with a start.

The dream was so real, and you know how sometimes you dream of getting a million bucks or that new Macbook pro but when you wake up, it very very slowly dawns on you that these things are not anywhere on the bed and you feel really empty? Well, this was kind of the oppposite of that sort of dreams.

I woke up, and even reach up and was surprised to find no tears. I was still feeling really mad and upset at that point of time, as mad and upset as you would feel when your boyfriend merrily ignores you completely after being mean to you and when you're sobbing nonstop.

I looked around for him and was ready to pummel him for being a jerk in my dream.

Coincidentally, he saw me opening my eyes and got down the couch to sit next to me (I rarely get up before him).

And he had just showered and was very cold, for it was a pretty cold morning. The coolness was soo comforting and, he told me to sleep a little while longer as it was still pretty early (in my terms, it was probably already close to noon then) and that he would sit next to me until then. In that moment, I couldn't believe my luck when I felt the contrast between him and that horrible guy from my dreams.

Hmmmm. I do not exactly understand why I'm saying this, he's probably gonna feel pretty embarrassed with me recollecting this incident, but. I guess it was only at that moment when I felt like the luckiest girl, and that all is alright in the world. Don't be mistaken, I feel like that often enough but then again, at lots of times, I'm also a pretty self-entitled person.

Well, I guess that's about it, my very sappy recollection which I doubt I described very well but.

My point is. I think you're probably the nicest and most wonderful person I've ever met or will ever come to meet.

Lol ! It's kind of gross but yeah. I think that's it.

I think that the dream was trying to let me know exactly how happy and fortunate I should feel in my waking moments.

Of course in the end, I complained about what I had dreamt and pummeled him anyway.

Thank you for being here and allowing me the good fortune of celebrating the occasion with you.

Happy 21st birthday baby !
