Mr. D’s B’day Weekend! (#TT93)

Last Friday was D’s (my annoying-rock-headed-yet-lovable bf) birthday and since I went off from work earlier, we could spend more time together :)

We went to this Japanese restaurant named “Tampopo” and by the first second D saw it, he knew that he gotta try since he just watched a movie with the same title! In the movie they sell ramen as well, kinda like Bubba Gump Shrimp.

Crab ramen (the Japanese name sounds fancier but I just can’t remember :p)

Black pig ramen / Kurobuta ramen – best seller!!

Tonkatsu tako-layered (pork katsu combined with octopus – delish!)

I liked the food, but I would even enjoy it more if we could eat in peace! No, the place was not noisy or anything, but we were so in a hurry to catch a movie because SOMEONE forgot about the movie time =.= I literally gobbled that bowl within 15mins when it was still smoking hot!

We made the movie in time though. We watched Skyfall! I liked it! :D

After the movie, we headed to his place for some drink and present time!!

  Don’t judge about the packaging…

Plucking the “flower” :3

*drum rolls*

TA-DAAA!!! Nice bag, huh?? I love it!

The celebration didn’t end on that day. The next day, I threw him a birthday surprise by inviting a couple of our friends to our karaoke “date”. He was completely clueless hehe, which was perfect! After killing our throats, we headed for dinner and played a drinking game afterwards. I lost big time.. I’ll definitely do better the next time round! *evil laughs*

Thanks for reading!

Oh wait, before I end this post, let me just share 2 songs that I think are deserved to be listened.

I know, I know, I’ve posted these 2 before haha. But the lyrics are just motivational to me, and hopefully for all of you as well.

To birthday boy: Growing up has just begun, be grateful of what you have. Be grateful that you’re awake and alive each day.

I love you babe *wink*!

My 21st Birthday!

Hello peeps!

Just want to do a little recap on my birthday last month. I don’t know why it took me so long to do this post but yeah, better late than never, right?

So my birthday “celebration” started pretty early.

I got my first present from my mom in August when my parents came for a visit.

Thennnn a week prior to my birthday, me and boyfie went to Yellowcard concert, which was super awesome!! This one was my own present for myself :)

Oh, have I mentioned that I bought their album at a local CD store  week before the concert and found out that it’s AUTOGRAPHED?!

No, there wasn’t any contest or anything, it just.. happened! I didn’t know what to think! It’s legitimately real marker. To my disbelief, I had a thought that the staff might have done it.. but, really? Oh well, doesn’t matter how it was done, I just felt so lucky!!

On the actual birthday itself, my colleagues bought a cake and we had a mini celebration. Most of them were away for a business trip though, so there were only few people left in the office. But I still appreciated it! :)

Later in the evening, I met up with my friends for my birthday dinner. It was a F1 weekend, so the cabs were all fully booked and the train was loaded with F1-goers. My last option? Call my friend to pick me up! :D

ALL FOR ME!!!

Showing off my new bracelet, thus my weird hand position :p

After dinner, we were ready to hit the casino. But before that went to the locker area to put our stuff. Well, my presents hehe. Then… I saw a box.

I seriously thought it was someone else’s belonging left behind! Then my boyfie gave me that smile. OH , his surprise was successful, yay!

LOL my face.

And nowww…, casino time!

I only bet $5 on the slot machine coz I was a chicken like that. Wait, what? No, I was just being conservative. I’m always conservative haha. Also, since it was my very first time entering the casino, I did a lot of observation, because I didn’t understand a thing! I suck at playing cards or whatever that needs strategies lol. So I wanted to fully understand the games first before actually putting my money. At the end I roughly understood 2 of them though. But I didn’t play..hmm perhaps next time!!

This year is loaded with jewelleries!! And skincare products..haha


But this one’s got to be my favorite ;)

Thanks for everyone who made the effort to make my 21st birthday memorable! I love y’all! <3

I’ll cover you sleeping child (#TT64)

Mom: “When will Michael actually know how to rock? Coz he always learns to rock.”

If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth

Happy birthday, Mom!!

God bless this woman :)

I love you forever, Mommy! <3

xo, Jo

P.S tomorrow is my bf’s birthday too! :p

So let's dance until we die (TT #32)

Kimberly Caldwell! This is officially my new favorite song! Love her hair in this music video :)

Kiss kiss
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
This is gonna be a late night
Get get
Up and let it go
We've got the right to
Take this party over
Changing up the sound
Check your ego it's all a blur
Desperate boys and stupid girls

Here are some pics from my friend's birthday party last week. Overall it was fun, but it would've been better if we chose another place since the place we went was FULL of perverts! Eww! Desperate boys...

1st hour:

2nd hour:Birthday boy posing mermaid style.Typical squid face.
3rd hour:Passed out. LOL.
Chinese New Year in 2 days!! Pumped! :D
Have a great week!

My daddy’s island.

Official-study-break-toast.

We made this. *coughs*

Daddy said walking on these stones is good for health.

Marching backwards?

*Intruding privacy*. Cat: “Get a life, biatch! Meowrr”

Showering in public is a normal thing, right?

Happy birthday gurrrrlllll!

This was the day when I got sick. If I was healthier, we would’ve played bowling. Sorry guys :(

Oh, and by the way it’s not my daddy’s island LOL. Maybe in the future? :P

Have a lovely weekend!!

xo, Jo
