3O12O9 - Joes's 18th Birthday.

3112O9 - Cindy T.'s & Annie T.'s 18th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Yesterday, Vicky, Minhky, Michael and I went to Joes's house to celebrate his 18th birthday =D YAY! Vicky made him an omlette and bought him a sponge cake =D!!! Danny wasn't about to come, until Vicky and Michael managed to persuade him to come ;D good on you guys! I guess reverse psychology DO work =). 

For the whole day we were playing games like street fighter, a cheap Asian version of jenga, Mario games, chess and Pictonary =D YAY! We also did some youtubing and watched some television; I'm sorry to say but 'The Cleveland show' is just a ripe off from Family Guy. The baby just wasn't as awesome as Stewie man! Stewie FTW!!! But you know what? Joes is AWESOME because he still have the Nintendo 64 console, which they don't sell anymore, and it actually still works! I have one too, but it's stopped working ages ago *sigh*. Oddly enough, he has only one control for it, like me... I shall bring my conroller one day and we shall play with two players on it =D. But honestly, he sure has a LOT of games and controllers for his PS2, which is apparently broken ... what a shame lol =P. Anyways, for dinner, we had pizza, chips, soft drinks and cheese cake ;D junk food much? 

Oh and have you guys heard about 'Pythagoras Switch'? According to the Japanese, it is pronounced as Pi-tha-gor-as Su-i-cci. If it weren't for Michael, I don't think I would've known that it existed! It's like a chain reaction hobby type of thing =D. Please look for it on youtube =D; this is a link you can go to for a start =). It even has its own jingle hahaha! How awesome is that?! Another thing to watch on youtube is 'I want to be that guy' LOL! It's about this guy and his epic journey through this ridiculously hard game LOL. This is the link to watch it from =D. Yes... we did a LOT of youtubing hahaha!

Anyways, that's about it for now =D. HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY to JOES, CINDY and ANNIE!!! Enjoy it to the fullest, because we only turn 18 once in our lives xD!!!

hippies, gangsters and nerds

I recently just left Cindy's 18th birthday party WOOT!!! The theme was to dress up as either a gangster, a hippie or a nerd. I think most of us dressed up as a hippie xD hippies ftw!!! I would like to apologise to Cindy for not giving her a present just yet. Unfortunately, there are certain factors which are obstructing me from eBaying a dress for her and hence, I've decided to chip in with Derek instead *sigh* ... LOL! I hope I'm not too late xO! 

My Hippie outfit =).

Back to the party. It sure is lucky to have a chef as a father because the food were sure delicious! It's a shame I couldn't eat more because I was too busy playing games hahaha! Andrew and Derek brought PS2 games over, which includes: Simpsons Road Rage; Tekken; Guitar Hero; and another driving game which I don't know the name of =). I think Tekken is the BEST game to play at a party. Why? Because whether you're the person playing or watching, everyone gets so excited and they start screaming like hell LOL! Hong D. was the funniest when she plays because she just screams at everything LOL! Jen R.D. and Derek were actually pretty good players =D They were pretty hard to beat *coughgamfreakscough* LOL! Michael's another gamer as well LOL he's practically a pro at almost every single game that's available at Time Zone since he goes there a lot. He even came 7th in the Guitar Hero competition at Time Zone. He was actually wearing a 'finalist' t-shirt to the party today lol =D I bow to you man, you're too pro xD.

Gangster, nerd and hippie; one of each =D.

 

 

 

 

Groupie photos; friends who loves Cindy =). (Plus more!)

Now that I think back, I have no idea why we even bought aluminum foil LOL! Eric, Derek and I went to Woolworths to buy some aluminum foil to "protect ourselves from aliens" *cough*. Yeah... it was fun while it lasted =). I guess it was pretty much hanging around, eating, playing, meeting new people and catching up with each other at Cindy's place. Though it was fun most of the time, the feeling of getting hit in the head, with a golf club, by Vicky was a NOT so fun moment. That's okay hahaha I'm used to injuries anyways ;). Then came the birthday cake YAY!!! It was an ice-cream cookies and cream birthday cake with a picture of My Little Pony =D. I liked it xD but I think i prefer the boysenberry flavour over the cookies and creams flavour for ice cream =). Then came the gifts =D everyone had such cool gifts for Cindy, like Kim's painting, Andrew H.'s Pekingese, 6 weeks old, male dog Piglet, Maxine's home-made croquembouche and Melissa's scrapbook xD they were all awesome presents =D Cindy must've been overjoyed! Then it was group photo time WOOT WOOT! It was funny when Stephanie said "I'm wetting your ball!" because she was leaning on Cindy's green fluffy pillow-like ball, against the green grass. LOL! It was just amusing the way she said it xD.

PIGLET !!!

Cindy's My Little Pony ice cream cake =).

 

No more cake xO! Viausto you pig LOL!

 

Groupie =).

After that was just more hanging around and stuff. For the rest of the night, I was with a group of friends upstairs, in Cindy's room, playing spin the bottle and just talking =) however, we had the lights turned off to make it more convenient for Piglet to sleep. HE'S OH SO CUTE xD!!! I also had a go at that electrocuting-thingamabob. There are four sticks which each player holds on to;  the light in the middle will begin to flash red; you press on the button on your stick when it turns green and whoever was the slowest to press it gets electrocuted. I've only played it once, but I don't think I want to play it again lol. Wendy was actually quite funny with her questions and quotes eg. "QUEENSLAND". Rather than swearing, she replace them with the word Queensland LOL! And Shirley, rather than saying 20/20 vision, she accidentally said 40/40 vision LOL! It was also hilarious to watch Minhky squirm under our interrogation with his current girlfriend, Rosalyn LOL! 

I know it's not actually Cindy's birthday today, because it's actually on NYE, but I'll say it anyways:  

 HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY CINDY! Never change yourself because we all LOVE you just the way you are =D. Keep smiling because it always make my day! Words cannot describe what and how I think of you because this feeling of gratitude and thankfulness that you give me is indescribable. I can go on and on about how I am feeling but I'll never be able to reach the end because you, Cindy, are indefinitely, undoubtedly, perpetually worth more than all the words in the world; you ARE the definition of those words. If you ask me what kind of person you are Cindy, I'll reply as "Cindy, you are a Cindy." I know I can provide millions of complimentary words to describe you, so I won't. I'll just type 18 words because it's your 18th birthday. Here it goes: genuine; generous; resilient; positive; benevolent; sympathetic; thoughtful; enthusiastic; intelligent; beautiful inside and out; clumsily adorable; independent; happy-go-lucky; patient; tolerant; lovable; worthy; priceless. I'm blessed to have you walk into my life and even more grateful to have you as a friend. I wish to be able to enjoy the rest of life with you by my side =) and hence, I want to grow old with you Cindy. I LOVE YOU ;D !!!

Cindy, the birthday girl =3.

Cindy and her boyfriend, Andrew =).

I'll say it again when it really IS her birthday =D. Anyways, that's it for now =D bye everyone!

PS. Thanks David, Hanh Hong, Charles and Anne for the photos =). 
PSS. I can't believe bothered to spend approx. 2 hours to tag all the group photos, with approx. 20+ people in every one of them =.=" FML. 
PSSS. How cool are Katherine's shoes =D ?!?!?!

myth of mistletoe

Have you ever wonder what the myth about the mistletoe custom, which occurs every year during the Christmas season? I have. So I've done some light research on it. From link 1, link 2 and link 3,  apparently the myth of kissing under mistletoe was a combination of the ancient Scandinavian custom and a Norse myth, the myth of Baldur. The Scandinavian custom was

"It was also the plant of peace in Scandinavian antiquity. If enemies met by chance beneath it in a forest, they laid down their arms and maintained a truce until the next day."

 The myth of Baldur was 

 Baldur's mother was the Norse goddess, Frigga. When Baldur was born, Frigga made each and every plant, animal and inanimate object promise not to harm Baldur. But Frigga overlooked the mistletoe plant -- and the mischievous god of the Norse myths, Loki, took advantage of this oversight. Ever the prankster, Loki tricked one of the other gods into killing Baldur with a spear fashioned from mistletoe. The demise of Baldur, a vegetation deity in the Norse myths, brought winter into the world, although the gods did eventually restore Baldur to life. After which Frigga pronounced the mistletoe sacred, ordering that from now on it should bring love rather than death into the world. 

And hence, people kiss under the mistletoe as a symbolic way of showing peace and love. In other cultures, like the French, the Anglo-Saxons and the ancient Celtic Druids, it's symbolism may vary slightly. This includes friendship; fertility; goodwill; promise of marriage; happiness and long life.
