treasure hunts and execution of pianos

15O51O - Shirley L.'s 18th Birthday.
22O51O - Titan's 18th Birthday.
25O51O - Cindy V.'s 18th Birthday.
28O51O - Peter D1's 19th Birthday.

Deepest apologies for my lack of blog posts. I'm actually typing this blog post at uni at the moment, because I know I would most likely won't be bothered once I get home.

Last Saturday, Kenny had his 18th birthday party at his house. Before I go into details, let me mention Shirley's birthday treasure hunt. The ever so thoughtful Maxine formed a plan to give Shirley a surprise birthday treasure hunt. She gathered Mimi, Vicky, Esha and I to help with this brilliant idea of hers. I would tell you all the tasks and destinations we got Shirley to go to but I dont have the clues. All I could say is that she took quite a while =P. When she finally solved the last clue, her adventure ended with a birthday cake as her reward. We went back to her house to endulge ourselves with cranberry apple juice and cake and chitchated over childhood memories. While the girls played with the exercise ball, I played around with Shirley's Nikon D90, and I sure love it when I capture photos of Vicky eating AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! She's so adorable when she indulge herself =). Speaking of photos, I took and photo of Esha and I thought I would show it to her, but when I did I didn't realise the screen went black. This is how it went down:

Fiona: Hey Esha, have a look at this *holding the camera, she showed the screen to Esha.*

Everyone looked and started laughing.

Esha: What's this? Is this like some kind of racist comment? *laughs*

Fiona looked at the screen and realised it turned black. She laughed as well.

Fiona: I'm sorry! I didn't mean it that way.

Esha: Are you saying I'm too black to be in photos? 

More laughter.

Fiona: I'm so sorry! That's not a photo! 

Esha: *laughing* Nah, it's okay. I couldn't resist myself. 

And yeah ... How embarrassing. It was a photo of her eating anyways =). Maybe I should start a collection of people eating ... 

It was around 7PM before Shirley's dad drove us to Kenny's house. Thank you Shirley's Dad! Yep, it was definitely packed alright (~30+). It suprised me so to see so many people dressed to the theme code, which was sexy, because honestly, who in their right mind would wear such revealing and sexually stimulating clothes on a night in Autumn? Definitely not me. The girls and I thought that we were always sexy, so there wasn't a need to dress up ;D. I kid =P. Anyways, THE FOOD WAS GOOOOOOD!!!!! The pork and potato dumplings that Kenny's mum made was delicious! I wish I ate the whole trayful, but I had to save some other people too. Needed to share the love for the dumplings! Apparently, the potato salad was just as apetizing. I think potato should deserve more credit in food. Not only is it a mouth-watering vegetable, it goes with almost anything! Anyways, photos were taken, friends were catching up with one another, food was eaten, alcohol was downed, games were played (spin the bottle, word games, teasing elmo the dancing chicken, lets play pretend, etc.). Then came the cake. YAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY!!! Unfortunately, kenny only had one candle ... but he made a good speech out of it =). When 1AM was around the corner, the girls, Minhky and I were driven home by Vicky's parents. Thank you Vicky's parents! Another night over. 

I honestly thought of staying in on Sunday morning, but I couldn't. I promised Susan that I would go to Biennale with her, along with my PHOTOSOC group. So I did. It was a b*tch to wake up at 8:30AM =.=. I must say, I didn't regret going because it was pretty awesome =D. Contemporary art at its finest. Although the concept was slavery, for some artworks I couldn't see the connection =/. Art sure is hard to interpret. For most of the day we pretty much walked around, viewing artworks, trying to interpret them. If it wasn't for Dora, I don't think I would've understood any of them =). She sure knew her stuff about artists (A/N: she wants to be curator, so it makes sense =D). What was good about the exhibition was the interaction between the viewers and the art pieces =). It was nice running over fake roofs... The day ended with a musical performance. I believe it was also a type of interactive piece of artwork. They made us walk around Cockatoo Island with them to capture the piano. Apparently, the piano was to be executed for criminal deeds... Being the short person I am, I couldn't really hear the entire story, so please don't take my word for it. All I knew was that the piano got executed. The end. If you want to know what happened, visit Cockatoo Island yourself ;D.

Cindy and I.

I'm contributing to art =).

Cracks of My Broken Heart

Cracks of My Broken Heart - Eric Benét

Maybe we need just a little more time
Time that can heal what's been on your mind
You can find what we lost before it all slips away
We need time to mend from the mistakes I've made
God only knows what a heart can survive
So many tears from all the pain in our lives
And where else could we go after all we've been through
I still believe my life is right here with you

So just hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

I know its taking a while but every lesson, i've learned
And if your heart speaks tonight, I'll hear every word
If you want to be free I'll never stand in your way
But with all that I am, I'm asking you to stay

Hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

There's a light that can burn
It exists in the heart
You can feel it when you know love is true
If you could try to be strong
And keep the light burning long
It took a lifetime but i found it in you

Hold on
And it'll wont take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

PHOTOSOC T-SHIRT

13O51O - Jennifer On's 18th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY =D !!!
14O51O - Kelly's 18th and Mun Hong 哥哥's 24th Birthday.

YAY!! I finally got my free t-shirt from PHOTOSOC =D !!! I'm going to wear it to uni as often as possible to promote the society hahaha =D !!! YAY, don't have to worry, as much, about what to wear everyday anymore =D !!!

music videos, annoying videos, drunk videos

O1O51O - Michael's 18th and Kit's 18th Birthday.
O7O51O - Antony's 18th BIrthday. 
11O51O - Kenneth's 18th Birthday. 
12O51O - Julius' 17th Birthday.

So on Michael's birthday, we had a birthday party/after party of Minhky's birthday party at Thanh's house. Honestly, I didn't really thought I'd be able to go since I was suppose to do some RSPCA volunteer work at uni that day. Unfortunately, my alarm didn't go off so I ended up sleeping in *sigh*. It was obvious what my other option was: partying at Thanh's =). 

Course I didn't want to go empty-handed, so I drove to Stocklands and got Michael a gift from Jay Jays =). Ah... Jay Jays.. who didn't love that shop? 

It was odd to see a small amount of people at the house, but then again since there was alcohol, people would prefer to arrive later at night. Oh, and speaking of alcohol, I finally had that shot of vodka with Thanh, as promised. It burned. Like hell. So I sculled down the rest of his bottle of coke to stop myself from choking and hitting the poor fridge =). Now, who the hell would even want to take shots of that?! 

I was upstairs, in Thanh's room, playing games and all. Not that I didn't want to socialise, but it was quite cold downstairs. Though, nothing happened much. Kelly demonstrated her musical talents, eating, talking, youtube surfing, Eric and Vicky playing 'Army of Two', again lol. 

Since I left around 10, with Shirley and Maxine, if something good happened afterward, I wouldn't have known about it. Thank you to Shirley's dad for driving me home =). Anyways, during my time there, the only funny thing that happened was when we were watching videos. May I say, this was the MOST ANNOYING video I've ever watched: 

Big Booty Bitches.

I would also want to say that watching drunk people on film was hilarious however, when you were the drunk one getting captured on film... it would be the most embarrassing moment ever. Although I was acting quite like an idiot, I still don't agree that I was drunk. Tipsy, yes, but not drunk. For example: 

Julie: Are you sure you're not drunk?

Fiona: I'm not drunk, I'm just really happy *big smile*.

And I was. Just because I was singing loudly, talking loudly, hugging tightly and laughing loudly doesn't mean I was drunk =). I'm sure I could do all that even when I'm not drunk =D.

I got home at around 11PM, which was a first for me. On weekends, or at parties, I usually arrive home at around 12PM/1AM. In a way, I felt good for going home before 12PM, for once =).

Sometimes, I question what the purpose of a party is.
