16 days to my Forever Young birthday! *sMiLes*
Apparently, MoS (Ministry of Sound) remembers my birthday...
"Yes, we remember your birthday..."
At a "very very lucky" price/offer...Lucky cos the digits sounds as though I'm gonna strike it rich sometime soon in some dialect...
Since Im a member of "Our Playground", I have 20 shooters of the month, a bottle of champagne (probably a cheap bottle...It can't be Moet, right? *Laughs*), waiver of cover charge for Moi and 4 other guests, priority entry for all my guests for the night, 20% discount on housepours and draughts at their neighbouring bar, (though during normal hours only... :( Why not at their bars itself?!? A bottle is not that cheap at "Our Playground" ya know!) and I get a lil' gift...! All for FREE...
(Thing is, most of my dearie friends are no longer hardcore clubbers since we're not that young anymore...)
Hmmm....
So am I still thankful that MoS remembers my birthday? *Laughs*
Just 16 days to my Forever Young birthday! And I still have got no idea what I should do, or how I should celebrate it...! Any suggestions?
I want a PINK cake though!
*Laughs*
*HeaRts*

Birthday Wish-List (Updated)
Here's a small lil' birthday wish-list of sorts!
pZ's Forever Young birthday wish-list:-
. The to-die-for Fendi Spy bag that I've been lusting for since 2 birthdays ago...! Eons...! I feel old already! :(
. SHOPPING VOUCHERS!! Mango, Guess, Forever 21, Topshop, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins, Bebe, FCUK, Aldo, Nine West, or even Charles and Keith, CK Tangs, Takashimaya, Isetan, BHG (Formerly known as Seiyu)... You name it, I want it...! *Laughs*
. Unlimited credit for online SHOPPING on my fave websites! Victoria's Secret, Asos (To-die-for accessories,clothes and bags...! Their heels are to dieee for...! But in sterling pounds! =| ) Old Navy... ... The list goes on... :P
. A wallet that doesn't have double flaps and monograms like LVs and Guccis would sound very nice! Something funky from Quintessential at The Mandarin Gallery (I saw something in PINK and BLACK...! Very nice! I Like! :P ) sounds great...! =)
. That pair of sunnies from Guess or Fossil sounds great..! Else, the Aldo pair at $25's a steal! Highly tempted to get it on my own! *Laughs*
. That cute lil' watch from Aldo! (cant find it anymore though! :( )
. The new Sony Mp3 player in PINK please! Its so pretty..! I mean, my HD 20gb player's doing fine...But how can one resist such a slim,functions-packed, to die-for mp3 player?! No Apples please! Im never an Apple fan! *Laughs* The only downside is the charging - via USB? Oh well, Ive heaps of USB charger devices from yester-years as a "con-woman" so I reckon I'm ok..! The accessories are so pretty!! *Loves* But, it's to be purchased separately...! Darns! =|
. Lifetime credit for pedicures and manicures with my fave manicurist, Phoebe!
. An all-expense paid trip to Bangkok, Taiwan, or even KL! If it was to Europe, all the better isn't it? *sMiLes*
. A new charm bracelet would be nice! ;P
. More accessories! =P
. More bags!
. SHOES....SHOES....SHOES...! 'Nuff said.
. Fragrances! Lanvin's Eclat D' Arpege fragrance
. Polo Ralph Lauren's Ralph fragrance
. Estee Lauder's Pleasures fragrance
. Lancome's Miracle fragrance
. A HUGE red packet with a blank cheque that wouldn't bounce, else, cash in either Sterling Pounds, Euros, US dollars, or just basically Sing dollar would do just nice! (*Laughs*)
. Health, wealth and smiles for everyone around me! =)
. A PINK lychee-martini cake! *Laughs*
But pZ reckons that she'd be getting loads of accessories from friends again! Well, I guess that's the safest present to give a friend when you dont know what to get her! *Laughs*
All I want is to have a smashing birthday...Cos I seriously think that I didnt had really memorable and enjoyable birthday celebrations with the former Special Someone in the past...My 21st was, in my friends' words, "pathetic", "lousy", "horrid" (Blah blah blah...They didnt really have nicesties to say... *Laughs*) cos all my friends were having awesomely huge parties and I didn't even have a cake! Not even a slice...! *Laughs*
I might just celebrate it at "Our Playground" or something as previously thought/discussed with some of my friends, cos now that Ive a privilege card, I get free champagne and shooters and what-nots on my birthday...But...I'm just hesitating cos I dont wanna get myself sloshed and get totally un-glamorously drunk... *Laughs* Oh well... *sHruGs*
Well, to be honest, this is just a wish-list... Its the thought that counts...Really! =)
And if I were to have a celebrations (of sorts) at "Our Playground", and if u were invited, would you come or would you rather not be there? *Laughs*
And I know of truckloads of people that have the intention of getting me un-glamorously drunk...! *Laughs*
Can't wait for my Forever Young birthday in June! But for now, books are still my priority!

BOILING S-T-R-E-S-S...! =(
While mugging for the upcoming and very very soon exams, I decided to take a breather and to blog a lil', mainly because I am a lil' bored and highly stressed up over the mountain-ful of notes, study guides and what-nots to cover! =(
And I cannot wait for the exams to be over! Because it'd be my birthday just 3 days after my final paper! And a public holiday looming really close to my birthday makes that weekend all the better for me! Yayy!
And I just discovered and foiled a highly secretive Forever Young birthday bash that a special someone was trying to plan...It's not that person's fault that I found out...! My 6th sense told me something's going on...! *Laughs*
Hearing the on-going preparations have made me regret asking and finding out about the special surprise that was intended for my birthday this year! Cos I did mention that I might wanna have a bash/celebrations of sorts at somewhere, maybe even at "Our Playground" cos I get special privileges and freebies if I celebrated un-soberly (aka, un-glamorously) there...! *Laughs* (Yeah, Ive gotten the privilege card in the mailer a couple of days back! The irony being that I hardly club nowadays! *Laughs* )
And people have been asking what I would like to receive as a gift for my birthday this year...To be honest, I have no idea at this point of time...! Well, besides getting a lifetime supply of shoes/pointy heels/wedges/bags/accessories/clothes/everything else in between for free! *Laughs* (Although Ive heard that its inauspicious to receive shoes as gifts for any occasion...Oh well...) I guess I really just yearn for health and to be forever happy! =)
Which is not what I am experiencing at this very moment in time for I am really cranking my brain cells out with my cramming and mugging! O_o
Back to the books! =|

Quality over Quantity...
Paul and Angela's wedding over the long weekend (due to the Labour Day holiday) was awesome! The video/ photo slideshow of their pasts, and how they met was real hilarious...! And the irony, Angela being Mrs Wong! She now shares my surname! :P
I do hope they'd enjoy their honeymoon in Greece...! Exotic location! =)
I havent been clubbing much, mainly due to me wanting to be a good girl so Ive pretty much been spending time catching up and doing mundane stuff with the family and that Ive been spending time "dating" my books and a mystery man in particular... (Not telling! =X )
Admist all of these, I did realise, after having a long conversation, which made me feel real down and sad about loads of stuff (Maybe its that time of the month..! Mine's irregular BTW...Imagine..! ), where I started thinking of my social circle and how significantly few real close friends I do actually have...I mean, I'd rather go for quality than quantity, but its pretty saddening to have friends whom u adore n love to bits totally forgetting about you/casting you away when you're no longer needed by them...Its an irony simply because I always try to be there for my friends, so much so that I feel that most of my "so-called" friends take my niceness and the goodness in me for granted; Some of them expect/assume me to be there for them 24/7 and when I dont, it literally tears me when they say that I wasn't there for them when they needed me.
Oh well, so what is the balancing point then? When should I still remain nice and caring towards friends that matter and fair-weathered friends that'd do a "David Copperfield", aka, disappearing act when bad weather does fall upon us? :(
Or is it just me? Have I been too nice to all of my friends, geninue friendships, or otherwise (aka, the superficial ones) so much so that I am often taken for granted and far too often, taken for a joyride of sorts?
I have been thinking quite abit about who are my true blue friends, those that have been there for me, thick and thin, seen through my ups and downs - my joys, sorrows, tears and anguish...Those that have offered me piles of tissue, advices, pats and hugs to those that squirm and run away at the very instant when I say something's troubling me...
A few names that have always/constantly been there instantly pop up in my mind - you guys know who you are...And I guess that I am truly blessed to have them around me; to catch me when I fall, to give their most honest opinions when it matters, and to always have a ready hug whenever I falter...
Mummy and closest friends have told me that the inherent problem or plus point about me, depending on which side of the fence you're on, is that despite all the social hard-knocks that life has taught me, I am still pretty gullible and naive and the fact that I dont really know how to judge people and their intentions so much so that when someone says that they need help, I would naturally try my best and go out of the way to help them, without expecting anything in return...If they need someone to talk to, I would try by calling or sms-ing them, or just clown around and act all silly and goofy to make them smile... In fact, I still do have random people still calling/sms-ing me at wee hours in the morning, sober or otherwise, ranting about their problems and how they just need a listening ear...
Cos I've always believed in what Mummy have always said and taught me - Always be nice to people, for what goes around would come around...If you're nice to people, people would appreciate your niceness and treat you the way you've treated them...But now Mummy always adds a disclaimer where she askes me not to be nice to everyone and anyone...That I ought to be selectively nice only to certain people, and to people whom really matter...
I guess I've to start learning from somewhere, and right now, at this very moment, I would prefer quality over quantity, thank you very much...! :)
To a particular mystery man ~ Thank you for talking to me until wee hours in the morning! =)
I LOVE all my QUALITY friends!
