the belated post

sorry everyone, especially to imah and apip who i know were waiting for the birthday post.

the thing.. i cant be bothered now. videos and pictures have been posted up on fb and im just waiting for illah and zatee to do the same, coz they've got some pictures in their kimira.

i'll just do a run-thru la.

arrived in london friday afternoon. had dinner with the ariel court' ppl plus padil and aleem. played lips, which is basically singstar for xbox. btw, i rocked at the game. unfortunately the same cant be said for singstar...

anyway, at midnight, my two cousins aka imah and huda went beserk screaming 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' in their very high-pitched voices. THAT took me by surprise more than anything.

i got a present from huda at midnight, which i love very very much. me and her share a toiletries obsession - we love lotions, hair prodcts, body scrubs, etc. so she got me a body lotion and body scrub from body shop in the scent of warm amber. it was also what i needed; my body scrub is running out fast.

imah insisted that that was enough present for the night and that i had to wait till morning for my present from her. she did ask a question that reli made me think tho

'ka, whats ur greatest achievement at 21?'

i racked my brains out thinking, because honestly, all i've done so far have been just coasting in life, reli. nothing extraordinary. then she got exasperated by my slow brain and said

'ka, u lost freakin' weight. thats an achievement'.

haha. truee. i didnt reli see it that way but as she put it, i did lose freakin' weight (to be exact, 8kilos) so i guess that counts.


come morning, i brushed my teeth and then my two cousins attacked me once again with their bizarre rendition of happy birthday. imah made me breakfast, peanut butter and chocolate toast and miloh. the bread had a sticker on that said 'best before 17th january' to which she promptly stuck on my forehead.

then more presents came! first was from aleem (technically imah. but aleem said he paid for it so yea), which was Breaking Dawn! then imah's, which were an organic hair towel, a notebook and a luggage name tag, all of which i've requested.

its better to tell ppl what u need so at least they know ur gonna use the presents. kan?

then i became a loser and acted secreatary on facebook; specifically replying to each and every one of my birthday msgs on my wall. i only did it halfway last year so this yr i was determined to NOT miss anyone. the girls went out for netball at the park nearby; then sudah the boys bangun, they went to the park as well.

it was kinda sad that the birthday girl was home alone on a saturday morning, but i really didnt mind, cause i had Breaking Dawn with me hehe. but imah called and insisted i join them. so i went out to the park and jogged one lap round. i wudve jogged more but imah was tired from netball, and i didnt wanna jog alone because dogs were loose everywhere. kuyuk nya anie lgi yg basar2x. kalau mcm kuyuk paris hilton nda jua papa.

after 'exercising', came back home with everyone and ordered out lunch from this fast food joint yg orang2x london saja tau. we basically whiled away time until it was time to get ready for my birthday dinner. i read Breaking Dawn, naturally. i cant resist the temptation of new books. hee.

then we went out for dinner.. which deserves a new post in itself because this is such a long post sudah. haissh.. i was planning on a short and simple one. payah jua kalau bibiran anie ah. lol.

till next time!

much love,
be'ah xoxo
