WOW.
What a day. Well, night actually. (Aliteration! Lookie!)
Anyway, I must first say that the presents were completely unexpected.
In fact, when I heard that so many people were coming, I was already shocked.
Okay, for those who don't know, (which I doubt are many) we had a farewell party in Italliannes (sp? I should check my balloon but I'm too sleepy and I want to finish this entry before the day ends) which was organized by Shuk Huay and Wei Ann. It was supposed to be a farwell party but Wei Ann spoilt it when I was complaining about her RM70.00 birthday present. (Quote: You better be appreciative about me sending so many sms for your farwell party)
I was supposed to go out with Shuk and Devina to 1U just to loiter and window shop on that day. I didn't know anything about the date for the party. (I knew there was going to be one, but wasn't sure exactly when) Until of course, Wei Ann ruined Shuk's plans. It's not that I'm unappreciative, though. It's just fun to be bitter about it.
After reaching 1U, (the experience on the way to Devina's house was also quite terrifying. I thought I might have been lost despite me going to her house at least three times already) Devina and I stopped by Itallianes to see if anyone was already there. No one was. As it was already 7, I thought that Shuk and the rest must have went to watch a movie or something. After all, the waiter said that Miss Koh (Kuh, he pronounced it) said that they would be there at 7.15. We both then decided to walk aimlessly to pass time. We went to F.O.S. (Factory Outlet Store or Full of Shit, courtesy of Shuk) and I made my first impulse buy. (RM20!)
(There were a few interludes where we were afraid that Becca See got kidnapped because she didn't reply our sms)
I guess it was a little late when we finally got there (I blame the impulse buy) and I was so shocked so see so many people. 30 seats doesn't sound like much on the paper, or even on the phone; but in flesh, 30 was overwhelming. I felt so happy that people actually took their time to come and say goodbye to me. They might have came to see their boyfriends or whatever, but wow. And I got plenty of presents!!!!! (unexpected. Really, they weren't necessary!!!!!)
Since I'm so proudddd of them, I'll list them down. (Hopefully I don't forget anything.) In no particular order, of course. I'll even write down the cost since almost all the presents had price tags on them or receipts. It's just funny. No offense, though.:
a) A BIBLE!
- Reaction: OMG! Never thought that anyone would get me a bible! THANK YOU! I always wanted a new one. Mine was getting frayed around the edges. PERFECT for when I attend my new church in Singapore. And it even comes with the most adorable of bags!!!!!
By: Shermaine, Keith, Bryan, Cheng Ken, Jie Yang, Hon Boon, Shu Ting and Fong
Cost: About RM 60++ (forgot, Shuk threw the receipt away), plus paper bag, who knows?
b) Minnie Mouse STUFFED TOY!!!
-Reaction: Cutest thing that ever existed!!!!! First stuffed toy that I've ever gotten that won't cause me respiratory problems! Love the lack of fur. And it's so cute and squeezable. Expect it squozen. THANKS!!!
By: Jing Li and/ <3 style="font-size:180%;">
c) WALLET
-Reaction: I've been wanting one for ages!!!! (Well, it helped that I complained quite a few times about my half dead one but it proves that you LISTEN!!!) And what a gorgeous one! (Love the colour, the design) Thankzzz.z.z.z.z..z.z.z. (<--- on purpose, btw) By: Khye Chwin, Jie Ying, Kar Yee and Wei Ann
Cost: RM35.90
d) Wheel of Time - ROBERT JORDAN Vol 1!!!!
-Reaction: Wanted to read this for ages! (Saw the series and thought it might be interesting. After all, there would only be a series of books only if the book was good!) Thanx!!!!!
By: Khye Chwin (birthday present)
Cost: Not going to mention it since I've already complained. ^_~ Seriously, once again, I'm not ungrateful or anything. It's just fun to note down and look back on all of it one day. (Like Keith's RM8.90 Purple Lizard Air-Freshener that Wei Ann destroyed the same day)
e) PENCIL BOX!!1!!!111111
-Reaction: Just nice! The deco is not messy and overdone; the colours simple enough to be gorgeous. The place I'll probably try to sneak my notes in during exams... ^_^ TQ!!!
By: Karen and Elaine!
Cost: There was a receipt, but I'm not going to mention the price since they might be hurt. =P
f) WATER BoTTle
-Reaction: Quote (Card): A place to keep my shit-water. (NeWater) Indeed. Bottle's cute though. And Aryl, you are NOT macho and handsome. THANK YEW!
By: Yew Weng and Aryl
Cost: No receipt/price tag! Woah!
g) PeN!!!!
-Reaction: Love the box. Love the pen. Love the sentiment. Hate the implication. Think I'm fat, huh? (Inside joke) TERIMA KASIH! THANK YOU! XIE XIE! NANDRI! ARIGATOU! (please say you guys didn't forget this from primary or I'll just..... be sad)
By: Kien Lam
Cost: Unavailable! Cool!
h) SWEATERRRRRR!!!!!!!
-Reaction: And there I was worried that I'd freeze to death in Singapore. There's school regulation jackets and I was kinda nervous about that too. And now with the jacket....!!!! It makes me look like a cool hip-hopper. (look, the imperative) THank YOu!!! xoxoXOXOX
By: Hao Yan!
Cost: Probably a lot. But I don't know... I really appreciate it!!!! <3
and last, but not least (a phrase I'll never be able to understand)
i)A STOLEN BALLOON!!! zomgwtfroflmao!!!!
-Reaction: "I dub thee my mallet of death!
By: Becca See and Devina
Cost: Nothing. It's STOLEN, you see. I guess they'll say that they risked life and limb for it. You see, there was a room behind our dining area which was probably employees only. It was full with Italliannes balloons. They sneaked in and STOLE the balloons before handing it to me. After my protests at it being STOLEN GOODS, they dutifully asked permission from the poor, put-upon, tortured, cornered waiter who was in charge of our section. He said it was okay, of course. (As if he had any other choice!) And so it was mine. (It's still in my house. I squashed it in Devina's grandmother's Toyota as a momento)
On the side note, I felt quite guilty about the food and all, since Italliannes is a 90% cheese restaurant; I don't think Shuk ate much. And it's not cheap either so I think many scrimped on their food...
Aryl's leaving to another school too. I don't know why, but if someone else was leaving; I'd probably cry. But since it's me who's leaving everyone, it just feels like...... nothing. I don't know if I'm just selfish or.. something.
Ivan's friend, Timothy and Omar's friend came as well. (Sorry, I didn't seem to catch your name) Too bad Omar's friend was quite quiet around me though. I would just love to hear his 'gentlemanly' voice. And Timothy looked quite different from what expected. (which was the pic on his msn, I think) Keeren came too. But he didn't greet me... =(
