It's mandatory for my coursemates to celebrate birthdays together.
Mine lah.
There were alot of fantastic plans earlier. One which included a 3D2N in Langkawi, because to them, it's my kind of place. And, even worst when ShiouTing asked me what I would like to do for my birthday, I answered, "Everything", to which she suggested a 2D1N in Genting Highlands.
Apparently, to my friends, I'm the type of person who likes to:
-Gamble
-Drink
-Fool around
-Smoke
-Eat
I agreed to the last one, but none of the above.
But the trip to Genting was ridiculous. No one has the extra cash to pay for the hotel, plus it was down to 4 of us, since YewTeng couldn't make it. (*Yewteng didn't give face!) Anyway, since it was more of a ritual, we decided to go ahead with the usual lunch, after 5 days of postponing because ShiouTing had to go out of town for work earlier.
And so we had Tony Romas.


The girls each had salads,

Kenneth had a burger set,

And I had the privillege to choose the NY Strip Steak.
Clearly, they didn't understand the meaning of Medium Rare, because it came out too raw, and I asked them to cook it abit more, and it came out Well Done.
See, if I use numbers, they don't understand (remember the 70%!!) , and if I use phrases, they also don't understand. Apa nih? cannot eat steak kah me?

The girls went all the way to Sunway Pyramid whereas the guy, woke up just in time to walk across.
=.="
Yeap, that's Guys for you, from UTP! Now you wonder why I'm still single in an Engineering school. 
Like I've said earlier, it was more of a ritual lunch for birthdays, so the lunch was more of a catching-up with each other's working/playing life, rather than celebrating. But it's cool really. We really needed this "excuse" to come out and meet. Otherwise, everyone's occupied somewhere.

I totally like my '87' jacket! Wearing it wherever I go.
And they got me a thoughtful gift.

I kinda like this picture of me, waiting to prounce on the present.
Earlier when I asked ShiouTing what was it, she said it was a handbag. A girly one too.
I was left speechless. Well, the thought which matters really, but still, a handbag?? What for? I would've needed a backpack instead, that would be more practical.
Hahha.

and knowing that I'm avianphobic, yet they still got me a bird.
It's a vibrator. Of sort.
Well, I could've used a more 'practical' vibrator..lol! But anyway, it's a stress-reliever. It has an 'on-off' button which you can turn it on to vibrate and put it behind your back. It claims to massage, and release stress. How true is that, I have yet to find out. Before that, I need to overcome my phobia first. To be honest, it's still in the box, in my car boot. Still don't know how to open it and use.
Thinking of it, makes me go all wobbly inside.
After lunch, we walked around, and managed to catch "City of Ember". Been some time since I went to the movies, but I found the movie not really my kind of genre. 
Well...intellectual mind I have lately. 
Well, the trip back to Bukit Jalil was pretty frustrating. I took the wrong turning, paid the stupid RM1.60 , three fucking times, headed all the way to Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and even KLIA!, and then Sungai Besi, Cheras before realizing that I was heading the opposite direction, made a U-turn and headed home. It was an hour plus journey taken, all for nothing!
Got a quick shower, rest, and drove all the way down to Seremban. Clueless with directions. Called Ivan to make sure I was using the right road, but while I was half way, he said maybe I should turned back. I didn't want to, so I drove all the way, to find myself in Kajang. Then, it was already pouring madly. My friend called all the way from Seremban, worried that I was lost, since both of us had no idea where I was.
So I took a U-turn and headed back to Point Zero. But I reached UPM, just in time to take another highway and headed to Semenyih instead, and followed Kajang Silk.
I exited the Mantin toll, drove the 'forest' route, dark, car-less, alone, rain, all the way to Seremban. That's 13km of car-drive, alone, clueless. If my car were to break down then, I would cry.
It was so FUCKING DAMN DANGEROUS!
I arrived in Seremban, while waited for my friend to pick me. I went all the way, just to have a short supper, and then headed back to KL.
I was clearly out of my mind then.
Clearly irrational, insensible.
Clearly not using my head.
But it was worth every single tear.
p/s: THANKS CIVILIANS FOR THE LUNCH! AND SI SHIOUTING, YOU STILL OWE ME ONE!
