♥ Que Sera Sera

According to Esther and Van's theory on the congestion of birthdays in August and September, the December is the month of "mating". The holidays, the poor weather, the romance impulsion, etc... I think you'll get the picture. The other day, AFTH was celebrating birthday for all the August and September babies. Almost 1/3 of us (28 members) were involved! HAha. So, there are lotsa friends who are celebrating their birthdays during these couple of months. Here are some pictures from some celebrations.

Ivan's
A short and sweet celebration for Ivan at Ichiban. Hope that he won't mind. I realized that there is tempura ice cream there! Omg.. I miss those ice cream! Yumm yummm! Slurp!

Esther's
Esther turned 21! She hosted a party and invited us to join in the fun. Unfortunatey, Van had her own party that day with her family and relatives. While, ASK was sick. The pool side party was sooo romantic that it suddenly felt like a wedding celebration than a birthday party. Nonetheless, tt was definitely relaxing with the dim lights reflecting from the water.

Weather was obedient until closing to the end of the party. It rained out without notification! All of us were struck in 2 pavilions. A few of us were trapped in a pavilion with a cat! The girls were screaming like mad. One of the guys commented that the cat should be afraid of us instead! Haha. To make the best out of the situation, we played some games. Fun day!

Yummy and pretty cupcakes!

Lastly, a sweet and demure one!

It was a terrible week for me.

Did the wrong thing .
Said the wrong thing.
Read the wrong thing.
Slept at the wrong time.
Took the wrong bus.

At least something might be going in the right direction.
Met up with someone on one of the days.
I could say someone who used to be close to my heart.
Not to say she is not now, but there is awkwardness now.
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about us, and I feel lonely to sense the distance between us.
In fact, I miss her and the times we shared.
Fortunately, she took the first step in asking me out.
And, I am touched.
I think there is awkwardness but I believe and hope that we would sort it out one day!

I've completed my HS401 Participant Observation!
I am really lucky to have the help of

Miss Wong, Wen Jin and Choon Guan.

Without their help, I won't be able to gain access to such a fun fieldsite and enjoyed myself so much during observation.

Big Thanks!!

I am missing the sweet times already..

Happy Children Day to all young and old kids. May we hold on to our childish innocence always!
