1/11/11. What a great date to post this out. Deja vu, defined as an experience of thinking a new situation had occurred before. This word used to sound spooky to me, but it actually became my 19th birthday theme. More than a week had past, but those memories are still so vivid in my mind. The bliss is something I experienced before, sort of, but this time it's somehow different. Perhaps the deja vu experience is hard to explain. First and foremost, I definitely have to thank the main organiser of my birthday surprise, an important friend of mine:
My sigui roomie (Big Grin)
Thanks for everything you had done for me, I know you understand what I wanna say. You are always a great brother of mine. Really glad to have you by my side. =)
Next, I would like to thank another planar which made 23rd Oct 2011 such a memorable day for me.
Another bestie of mine (eating)
难民，thanks for being the big surprise, somemore your first time planning. I'm really speechless. U know what I wanna say already la. Well, EAT more =P
Before I continue thanking everyone else, let me just simply recall what had happened before and after 23/10/11.
......Recalling......
21/10/2011
Honestly, it is not the happiest day in my life. I mean this is the day where IELTS results were revealed. Besides, the PMCians are having their interview. Refreshing the IELTS website a lot of times already but still failed to show my results. Finally at the final attempt where I said to myself, this time sure kena! The results really popped out. Haiz, but it is not as good as I expected. But still I'm happy most of my friends did extremely excellent. At least their hard work paid off. I'm happy for them, really. Then I followed my classmates to McD for lunch. I'm happy that finally we have a chance to eat together, first time so complete (tom also follow). Then after lunch, Michelle took something out from her bag, saying that's my birthday present. I stunned for awhile, really never expected that from them. Well yea, I know they had prepared something for me, but never expect something so thoughtful and effort and time-spending. I was really touched because they were so thoughtful to buy something that I need for a long time. Somemore, then made a wish chain for me and put it in the bottle, what a big surprise! Thanks my dear classmates: Michelle, Liting jie, Suwen, Chialin, JiaHuey, Rachel, Tom, Laihing, Wihong.
11M8 Forever~
At night, we studied hard for Ethics exam. At least I feel I studied until quite late that night.
22/10/2011
Woke up early in the morning, with a sore in my gums. I dont really feel well that day. Then, we all bertolak dari rumah to INTEC for ethics test. I seriously forgot how I did for Ethics and all I knew was I was the slowest to complete because I really don't feel well during the exam. Hope I still manage to get an A please. When I walked out of the exam hall, I see everyone was waiting outside. Then, we go back together. I didn't join them for lunch that day because I had an ulcer in my gum.
During the afternoon, Yang and Raymond left the room. Made me curious what were they up to....(hmmm)
At night, they made me think that they are going to celebrate my birthday that night. They brought me the taxi stand, making me think I'm going to somewhere else. However, we end up having dinner in Secret Recipe. Opps, sorry guys for making you all spend the money. No cakes, no birthday song, no gifts, I was a bit dissapointed la honestly. After dinner, few friends came to my room to watch Ethics video. Then, I waited anxiously until the clock strikes 12. I get a few wishes from my friends, but nothing special happened that day. What a peaceful night.
23/10/2011
I cant believe I turned 19th already. The day was just normal. Really nothing special happen expect I received a lot of wishes from my friends. It is the first year I celebrate my birthday without my family because I decided to spend that day with my friends, since it will the my last year with them perhaps. Maybe just for a simple dinner, I'm satisfied. Then, raymond told me he's going to subang. I know it's a lie. But oh well, really feel sad a bit liao that time. I mean, how could you leave your roomie alone in hostel huh? But I act like nothing happen, expecting nothing.
Lunch time, Yang came and ajak me to eat with Jack, Sasa and Cimu. My ulcer ache so much that I cant even chew my food. But then, Zoey became the spoiler...Ehem! Made me expecting something at night pulak.
After lunch, I really feel there's nothing special liao. So I decided to walk around see any lonely souls will accompany me that day. Finally, ended up watching a funny movie in Fa ge's room, with wihong and laihing. Made me feel quite satisfied la after the movie, somemore I received calls from my family and CX. Mom asked me how they celebrate with me, whether they still remember my birthday. I said, they got wish me la, then got a simple dinner. Then my mom said, nevermind la, since everyone so busy recently. Celebrate or not doesn't really matter, come back home and we'll celebrate together. At that moment, I really felt a bit sad and felt wanna go back home straight away. =(
When I went back to room, planning to have a good sleep, raymond was already back. Then he asked me to change my clothes as we are going somewhere. He told me we are going to Dawood to celebrate my birthday. At that moment, I really feel it was ridiculous, please dont prank me anymore la. Then I waited with Whoong at the bus stop. Suddenly I saw people coming, first zoey, then qiang ge, lai hing, yang, raymond. Then MJ and skyton came with his DSLR. We went to the taxi and raymond ask the taxi drivers to send us to Dawood. I was really blur what he's up with. We always joked about celebrating our birthday at Dawood, but takkan he's serious?
And so, I went to Dawood with Zoey and MJ. Finally we reached seksyen 6, with RM10. Suddenly I felt the nostalgic feeling. Cendana, the Petronas, Balai Polis, and the only place to eat (Dawood). It was raining that day, dahlah make me feel more nostalgic that day. Then, everyone arrived at Dawood. What a surprise to see Douglas there as well? OMG! Unbelievable, that guy always go back during weekend one leh!!! We sat down as like usual ordered something to eat. I just ordered a cup of milo panas as I couldn't eat anything. Eat chat, laugh. I really love that kinda feeling, couldn't describe that feeling. Finally, Yang and raymond took out a Pak Li porridge for me. They knew I cant eat anything, so they bought that for me. Somemore, it's extra soft one. WOW, really touching leh that time. Wei Yang and raymond so caring one. Although I also eat with pain, I felt very warm inside. =) Thanks guys, seriously that means a lot. Snaps! I just love taking pictures with people around me.
My lovely friends
Finally the pro and handsome cameraman is in. =)
After dinner, they blindfold me and brought me to cendana park. I was expecting the celebration will be there. Just like last year. They lead me to a place, walk...continue walking. Then raymond ask me to turn rounds and when I took off the blindfold, everyone was gone. Deep down inside, I was a bit afraid. Afraid that the old experience will haunt me again. But then, I believe in my friends, I know they wouldn't abandon me just like that. Without my spectacles, I felt insecure. And I had no idea where to head to. I walked through the cendana gate, walk back to our room. 2/208. A lot of memories flashed back. I remember how happy we were although we live in a serba kekurangan place. The smell, the water from the water cooler, Everything! seems to be the same, except the people living there are no longer us, but our juniors. I continue walking, until I reach the end. I still cant find them, so I called raymond. And he asked me to get back to cendana park. Then, I saw all my friends there. What a relieve, I feel like hugging them =) I know what you are up to, I know what is the purpose of blindfolding, abandon, and appear again. I know....
Then, I was blindfolded again and brought to a place. Not again? Blindfold？I really dont like the feeling of seeing nothing but just rely on my senses. But then I feel safe when laihing guided me all along.
Soon, we reached the destination. I really have no idea what place is that. Feels like pasar malam, feels like some natural open air place, feels like I-city? I dunno. Laihing, Raymond and Skyton take turns to guide me walk around the place. Kinda tired walk for so long. I can feel a lot of people around. Then they brought me to a place with a lot of people queing up. Seems like a Ferris wheel, roller coaster? I really have no idea what to expect. After long hours of waiting, Skyton lead me to the ride. I took of the blindfold. Lights! That's what I see. Trees with lights, such a beautiful place. Then I hear friends shouting my name all along the ride, they were all around! Joy! I'm really speechless. A beautiful place with my friends around me. I reminisce the feeling so much. That kinda feeling was like a dream come true. Fairytale? Feels like everything is so perfect? I dunno how to describe it. But I just feel on top of the world that moment.
Finally the ride stops, I was blindfolded again. Jia En(as Jay Chau) sang a special song 彩虹 for me. It is really a song that means a lot to me. =)Then everyone sang along. I could feel all my friends around me. Wow! Then, unfold again...I see sherny holding the birthday cake. "Happy 19th weeding" it says...because I joke with raymond said I want a birthday cake? But I still love cheese cake la. Haha. Everything was just like last year. Deja vu! Then the pranks again lo....LOL....but this year's prank a bit "special". with all those professional makeup artist around. Made me look like 如花？Gosh, feel like slapping myself when I see those photos.

All those who attend are there. I mean all except....guess who?
You know who are them. Ehem! Mei mei and his ehem!
No matter what, seriously I have to thank those 30 people who went so far to I-city and celebrate the special day (birthday) with me. Well, most of you won't be around me already next year. So, I really appreciate you all for coming and brightens up my day. You all shines better than the lights in I-city kay? Sorry if I had neglected some of you during that day coz too many people and pranks liao, but I definitely remember each and everyone of you. To: Sister, yang yang, potato, qiang ge, skyton (顿顿), ah jiek, cimu, douggy, laihing, sherny, dan dan, cinv, jack jack, sasa, check lung, mei mei, jiaying, chew kwee, teddy, wilson, fa ge, jielun, deng lijun, 38, sying, chunwei, ah ma, daughter, xiao xin xin, charsiew and sai zat!!! Thank you so much!!!! I mean it!
Then like tradition la, I was asked to do something that humiliate myself T.T. Go take picture with stranger and walk around I-City. Thank god I think I scared away a lot of people with my looks. =P When I came back, more surprise to come. They (sister, cinv, yang yang, fa ge, and wihong) made me a big and special birthday card and folded me a lot of cameras which I wanted. I always wanted a camera to capture the blissful moments I spent with you all. Now that I have your photos on the card, I am really happy. Thanks for spending so much effort and time doing that for me. I will keep it nicely de. =) And sherny spent dunno how long wrote "essays" for me...really gan dong lo. thank you too..and the presents from sherny, jiaying, cheesiew, suhuey, xiu xin and jia en. Finally the 3-in-1 present selected by raymond I suppose. A belt that I always wanted to buy. Very thoughtful leh. Thanks to everyone who shared that present as well. I like it so much. Not to mention a special fan made by douggy with all my close friends' picture on it. I know you spent such a long time making that too. Thank you everyone!!!!
Then we jalan-jalan, talk-talk awhile before going back. Me, raymond and laihing follow, sehying and chun wei's car back. But other friends were stuck in I-city, just like last year. Deja Vu again. Raymond was so "gan jiong" that time. Planner ah planner, 辛苦你了。Luckily everyone reached hostel during the eleventh hour. Sei taxi driver and pak guard ah! Can't you all be more responsible (former) and less responsible (latter). And I received a call from zhen teng that night. So happy to hear from him, too bad the line sucks.
On that particular night, it rekindles an important friendship as well. It's really a dream-come-true day. A sleepless night it was, I slept very very late that night because I was too happy, raymond was sleepless as well. =) Intoxicated by the joy followed by my 18th and 19th birthday, I am really overwhelmed. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, Thank you everyone! I mean it!
