My 21st Birthday....

Happy birthday to Myself!! :)

I'm finally 21! Over here, 21 means that I can be let into pubs (finally!) and drink their cheap liquor here! In Singapore, you can drink when you're 18 but you can only watch X-rated movies when you're 21.

Over here, it's the opposite. So it means that I do not really have the 'perks' of watching a X rated movie...hmm...

Let me describe my birthday.

The big surprise 10/7

It was a normal Monday night in our Marymount apartment. Edric came over for dinner and after that we discussed a bit of our project which is due on Thur 10/10. I was kinda 'resigned' to an uneventful birthday as I had my fair share in a pre-birthday party back in Singapore. So I was actually doing my 'programming languages' homework with Cozy and getting stressed up cuz I can't answer the questions.

Edric, Eu Jin and Dax were happily doing their research too.

Then suddenly at the stroke of 12....

So touched!!!! My roomies actually planned a mini surprise for me and I actually got a cake!!! Made my day!!! ^o^

A very delighted Sherine with a BIG smile

Dax, Edric and Cozy trying to see how 21 candles can fit into one cake while Eu Jin is wondering when he can start eating the cake

Cake cutting! Edric and Eu Jin seem happier than me though..

A happy moment in Marymount Manor

I wish....

..that the guys would not complain so much about dinners

 


the day itself 10/8

It was a bad day at work though. Company took back my phone and I lost my organizer. I was so pissed that I decided to buy a Sony Clie NR70 for myself on ebay. 21st birthday's excuse :p. Work is busy, but I enjoy it. I actually worked til 730pm on my birthday and I was real tired.

After work, I went down with Ruth to a place called 'Scores' in San Mateo where my colleagues planned a mini party for me. Think they actually want to get me drunk. However, I was tired and I did not feel like drinking. I only had 2 drinks and my colleages were pissed. Til now, they still say that they've lost all respect for me...

Edric, Eu Jin, Kae Fong, Cozy and Prem came down for the gathering too! :) Thanks guys!!! We had drinks, chatted and played pool. The place closed at 1030pm though, so we couldn't really do much.

I'm good I'm good!

Steph, Giao, Frank, Dave, Me, Jay and hidden Sam. SEVEN

Cozy, Eu Jin, Kae, Edric, Me and Prem (you're all dark!!) haha

 

Nevertheless, it was a fine gathering with new friends that I met here. You guys rock! :)

For those who remembered my birthday in Singapore too, thanks. I miss you guys.

For those who forgot...beware..
