I reached home around 130am after which i showered, smsed Abg my thanks and good nite and wat have yous and smsed The Kukuz and i tossed and turned in bed. For a good 1 hour. Thennn i feel asleep and when i woke up, it was only 4am!! Urrrgghh!! So i continued tossing and turning till my parents left for work and i was smsing Nora at the same time. Hahaha. She said i was making her smile away in the bus ALONE and the other passengers probably thought she was mad.
Oh gaaawd. The both of us were so crappy. We actuali thought of ways to use Shaik's and Andhika's gift. Hohoho. Very funny tau. The things we thought of. Sampai kebaya and peluh pun came into the topic.
Then i went into the living room, took all my presents and opened them in my room.
Maybe i was excited at the thought of opening my presents, that was why i cldnt sleep. If u are wondering why i didnt bother to unwrap my presents last nite itself... Well i was reali exhausted. And i didnt want my parents coming into my room in the middle of the nite, kepo-ing about my presents.
Maybe i wanted to make myself suspense. Hahaha. Crrraaaaapp.
Atok brought me to Nora's Apparel. I told Atok i didnt want jubah tau. Pls. Im still young...
So he bought me this... A very nice blue long dress. 75 freaking bux... Bleeaah.
Last year for my birthday, i bought a long black dress from the same shop. So this year, again another dress from there. My long black dress was a size M. Sooo when i tried on my first dress yday, the lady gave me an XS size.
I stared at her incredulously thinking she muz be blind. Then she said it's cos im slim and tall. Woman... wait till u see my frenz who are TALLER. Sooo i tried a dress on thinking i wun fit in it. Confirm tersendat somewhere. Maybe around the thigh area. But surprise surprise!! I cld fit into an XS. No wait. Further alterations had to be made on the length AND they had to make it SMALLER for me. Sheeeesh.
So after trying on 7 pretty dresses... The lady juz kept giving me dresses to wear bcos she said i looked nice in them and she wanted the rest of the customers to see. So i was the model in the shop for an hour. Bleeeaah. And then all these ladies started touching me. Eeeek!! Actuali i cldnt decide. There was green, purple, brown, beige and blue. Finally i settled on that blue dress above. Thanks Atok!!
This one... Syikin and Lulu gave me. Hee hee. 
The Mike Gayle book that i wanted. Bessst. Got things to read...
And this is from Liza. Smth NOT from my wishlist. Not that i minded actuali. Heee.
See wat she wrote on the wrapper at the part i was supposed to tear off... Sheeesh.
And Teacher Liza is ALWAYS practical so she got me a Calendar!! Hee hee.
The next one is from Noreeeeeen. Muahaha.
My Maroon Pandan Leave Bag. Hohoho. Bessst. Bessst. It matches with most of my clothes. Hee hee. I have a new bag!! Lalala.
This one... From Neeta and Mindae. Waaah. Neeta AND Mindae. OK sori. Had to say it like that...
A card tumbled out of the bag and when i saw it, i thought Neeta was juz being notti.
The sticker on the wrapper. I still thought Neeta was juz playing around...
And so Neeta AND Mindae reali got me a bikini!! Gaaaaawwwd. I wonder wat Mindae was thinking when both of them bought this. A freaking bikini!! Maaaannn.
Kak Efah bought this for me... Smth from Bodyshop...
Strawberry Body Lotion and Strawberry Lippy. Hee hee. Im going to smell so sweet from now on (not that i dun usuali smell sweet). Hee hee. Sweeeeet!!
Mariam said a girl always needs her Perlini's...
Why not make it Swarovski the next time?? Hehe.
A lovely simple bracelet from Mariam. Hohoho. Sweet and simple. I LOIKE!!
Shaik and Andhika got me smth from IKEA but they put it in a Bodyshop bag. Waaat the...??
And seriously Waaaat The Hell??!! Hahaha. Very funny. Reali funny and cute. It's called Hong Bin Bao kan?? And wat does Hong Bin Bao mean?? Maaannn can somebody give me ideas wat to do wif it??
My little darling Nora bought me this...
My favourite Davidoff Coolwater perfume. Sweetness. Reali sweetness. I love u many-many la Nora. I doooooo!!
U see... When Nora asked me what perfume i use... i thought she was going to hint to Ansari to buy it for me. Hahaha. Serious. She did tell me she was going to get me smth NOT from my wishlist but i didnt think she wanted to get me my fave perfume!!
But then... while waiting for 14 at Bedok Interchange... Ansari sort of gave me clues as to wat he got me. So i asked him why didnt he buy me perfume instead?? It's a foolproof gift and Nora knows my fave perfume. Dennn he told me it's cos she alreadi bought me perfume so he cldnt buy.
Gaaaaaawwd. Spoiler!! Nora nanti marah ur bro tau. He went to spoil the surprise. Hohoho.
And last but not least... The gift Ansari bought me...
Levis jeans...
The latest Square Cut Jeans...
Seeeeeee...
And the price was... ahem... very nice...
He cldnt remove the tag for fear that the jeans wun fit me and we will have to have it exchanged. He told me when i try on the jeans, juz dun take a look at the tag. Ehhh maner boleh. It's juz basic human nature.
Actuali i saw the tag in the car alreadi. After Ansari got off, i took out the jeans. Then Nadeem and Abg sibuk-sibuk asked me the jeans cost how much. When i told them... they were so bloody envious sia!!
Have i left out anybody's gift?? Ohhh... Abg's... Haha. He said my gift will arrive either today or tmr. Whatever rocks ur boat la Abg. I'll be waiting tau. Sape suruh tak beli siang-siang??
Thank u all for the gifts. Reali reali thank u sooo much. And thank u for attending the dinner. I know i wasnt a good host, but having 16 people seated at one loooong table, it's hard to strike a conversation wif anybody.
Besides i had to make sure Abg was comfortable cos he didnt noe most of u. He wanted to talk to Syikin but she was so far away.
Oh Ansari told me that before i left and all of u were hugging me and i think Shaikhah kissed me and me and Syikin did a cheek to cheek kiss... Apparently Abg and Nadeem were so shocked by that. Hahaha. They actuali turned to look at each other looking very shocked. Then Ansari purposely said:
"Come guys... Let's hug..."
Cos he was standing in btwn the 2 of them so he put out his arms. Harharhar. Merepek Meraban.
After dropping Ansari off at Boon Lay MRT (of course we reached there in 20 mins flat bcos Abg was driving like a speed demon)... me, Nadeem and Abg didnt want to go home yet. So as Abg drove on the expressway (adhering to the speed limit this time)... we thought of places to go. Then Abg switched on this Nirvana song...
It's opening lyrics were:
"Raaaape me"
Serious. I kid u not!! And Nadeem... being Abg's gay partner for the evening, decided to sing the song out loud. Maaaaannn. Spoil the song only. I wanted to hear Kurt Cobain singing la Nadeeeem!!
As usual it was noisy in the car la. When Ansari was around, both of them were quiet. Malu la katakan. Sheeeesh. When Ansari got off... Waaaahhh!! They called each other names and kept laffing tau. Sikit-sikit ketawe. Talk abt smth also laff. Gaaawwddd.
"Eh Nadeem... Kau nak minum teh tarik kau kan? Cepat choose a place..."
"I duno sia. Where sia?"
"Anywhere la u Pakistani"
"Changi laaa"
"Go Changi for waaaaat??! U wana look at those bapoks right?"
"Ehhh can la. Sunday nite. Cmon la Erza"
"Ok ok. Which part of Changi?"
"That usual place la..."
"Noreen... u dun mind kan?"
"Anything. Bring me somewhere i have not gone to. Somewhere not easily accessible by public transport..."
But then Nadeem received a call and he had to go home. Bleeeah. Sniff. So sedih. It's always fun to have Nadeem around u noe. He is like 1 kancheong fella. Dun believe me... ask Shaik. She experienced it for the first time when Nadeem called her yday.
Shaikhah... u didnt give Abg ur number. Abg got ur number from Nadeem. And how Nadeem got ur number... that i certainly do not noe.
I teased Nadeem about Chocolate Banana. Then Ansari told Nadeem to share Banana Split wif Abg. Hahaha. Funneeehhh!! BANANA. So Nadeem told Abg that me and Ansari were being notti by teasing him. Eh u think we scared is it?? Hohoho.
And there was once, I asked Nadeem why he didnt say hello to Mariam first and he said he was waiting for Mariam to say hello to him first. Den i said:
"Nadeem cannot like that. Ure a guy. U muz say hello first"
"I shy sia..."
"Shy my asss. Where are ur balls mann??"
"I HAVE 2 BIG BALLS LA" (he said it sooo loudly in the car den he laughed)
Gaaaaaaaaawd
Soooo after Nadeem alighted... Abg called... Abg called... Hehe. Abg called Odi Cute Dimples. Hehe. Hehe. And so Abg and me went to Blk 815. Sat at the playground and waited for the other two 815 brudders to join us. Of course it was 930pm already and Abg had plans to bring me for supper but he was afraid my parents wld scold him and i told him to call my mom and talked to her and he was scared but then i forced him anyway and so he finally did and so he stopped worrying. Hohoho.
Me and Abg sat at the playground and talked for a good 30 mins. Yes we did. Reminiscing abt our childhood. Abt our family. The stuff that goes on at home. Abt studies. Abt life. Abt gals. Abt his recruits. Abt my future plans. And abt Ansari.
It was nice u noe. He called me old. 21 is old for a gal. Dah la siang hari he called me juz to say im an Andartu. But i agree la. For guys, even being 30 wun make a difference. He asked me if i felt any different now that im 21 cos when he turned 21, he didnt feel anything. When he actuali thought 21 is the age that he's finally an adult.
I told him i didnt feel any different. Actuali i said i feel my biological clock ticking. Hahaha. As in i told him i wana have kids and i noe i have to wait till i get married and i have to start saving up cos it's expensive to get married and i'll probably take a long time to save up and maybe by the time im 26, i will have juz enuff savings to get married but juz enuff isnt good enuff cos the cost of living here is expensive.
Thennn he said 26 is old for a woman to get married. And i agreed but the thing is... it's juz hard to get married early la. Dennn he said:
"26... old for u but not old for Ansari..."
"Haha. Ya. 26 isnt old for a guy. It's juz right..."
"U and Ansari... will last..."
"Huh?? Is that a qn or a statement?"
"A statement from me..."
"Wat made u say so?"
"Cos i can see it... He's a gd guy..."
"Yeah i noe. He is..."
"So dun do anything stupid..."
"Like wat?"
"Like hurt him..."
"As if i wld!!"
"Well im juz telling u only..."
"Dun add to the pressure..."
"Wat pressure??"
"Hmmm... the fact that i noe his cousins and most ppl keep saying we will last... im pressurized by that..."
"I see..."
"So pls. Dun add on to it..."
"But i think u guys will make it..."
"I hope so. I certainly hope so..."
"Dun wori..."
"Im not worried. It's juz that i dun wana disappoint anyone if things dun go well... and... i juz feel me and Ansari have a loooooong way to go before we decide on anything..."
"Take ur time..."
"Yeah we will. After he's done wif NS and his studies. And after im done wif mine..."
So we talked some more. For the first time, i told Abg how Ansari asked me to be his gf. Haha. All this while, Abg didnt noe. SO when i told him... he actuali said he like Ansari's style. Oh gaaaaaawd. Ape sahaje la. Merepek meraban.
Thennn one 815 brudder came down. A short while later, Odi came down. From far i knew it was him already. Cute-ness. Hahaha. Odi smiled (goodness those 2 deep dimples!!) and said Hi to me. Cair.
We walked to the car. Of course i was made to sit in front. Then the backseat was filled wif my presents. Odi said:
"Waaah. Shopping nampak..."
"Ehh no. Those are my birthday presents..."
"Oh reali?? Happy Birthday!!" (wif a senyuman so manis i almost fainted)
"Thank you..." (i smiled back)
"Can i have some? Hehe"
We moved the presents into the car boot and off we went to send sick Odi to CGH. He needed to get MC for his IPPT so yeah. Abg drove him to A&E (macam sakit tenat). Haha. Thennn Abg told Odi to call Abg when he's done and he wld pick him up. So Odi said Bye. I thought he said Bye to his frenz so i diam. Thennnnnnnn... And then cos he was seated behind me, he actuali leaned forward and said another Goodbye to me.
Aiiiiyyyyoooooooooohhh!! So i turned and said Bye. Then when he got off the car, he purposely slammed the door hard. Then he turned, looked at me (im serious. he looked at me) and smiled again. Cair. And i smiled back la. Tak baikkan tak balas senyuman orang??
After that... Abg turned to me and he kept making all these weird gestures wif his face. Serious. Tak bedek. And he was whispering God noes wat to me. But of course i suspected it had smth to do wif Odi la. Cos his other fren was at the back and he didnt want him to hear i think. Gaaaaaawwd.
Abg went to top-up petrol. And he told me to get out of the car and follow him. Waaat the.......?? As if anything will happen in the car. And then u noe wat?? Abg asked:
"So..... how??"
"How wat?" (has my Abg gone bonkers or smth?)
"U noe... Odi..."
"U do noe i find him cute..."
"Yeah he is..."
"OK so fine ive got a crush on him. Juz a harmless crush..."
"I noticed u smiling away in the car after he got off..."
"I WASNT!!"
"U WERE!!"
"Noooo!! Ur mata potek. U dun have perfect eyesight... Ur eyes muz be playing tricks on u..."
"Eh hello... u were seated beside me..."
"And ya i was looking out the window most of the time..."
"Ya la but i can still see u were smiling..."
"Oiii!! U were supposed to concentrate on the road..."
"But i cld see u smiling..."
"Hurhur"
"And u shld have seen the way u talked to him..."
"WAAAAAT???!!"
"So malu-malu..."
"NO"
"Yes. So gentle. So girlish"
"Ok fine. So??"
"So........"
"So wat? Im attached..."
"Yeah. Too bad huh??"
"Yeah. Dammit"
"Hahaha. He's nice u noe..."
"Yeah i can tell..."
"Why muz u be attached??!"
"Eh dekni..."
"Hahaha. Is Odi cuter than Kassim then?"
"Duh!! Eh ckp pasal Kassim pulak"
"Cehhh. Duh seh"
"True waaat..."
"Hahaha. Tak padan..."
"Oh well. Eyecandy for me je la. Im happily attached" (smiles)
Then we went to Tampines MRT to pick up another fren. Thennn Abg called Odi to ask if he was done. Thennn i heard Odi pretending to cough. Harharhar. Very kaklar i tell u. Super funny. I mean he was sick la. Fever, cough, headache but he pretended to cough so burukly over the phone, everybody juz laughed.
Sooooo we picked Odi up from CGH. Then we had to go to my aunt's place at Pasir Ris. One of the guys asked:
"Erza. Kau nak pergi mane ni?"
"Hantar adik sedare aku gi Pasir Ris jap. Amik barang"
"Ahh?? Kakak kau nak pergi Paris?"
"Sejak bile aku ade Kakak??!! Aku cakap... AKU NAK PERGI PASIR RIS SEKEJAP. AMIK BARANG KAT RUMAH MAKCIK AKU"
Funny la. We stopped at a traffic light. Then this apek taxi beside us looked very sad tau. Reali. So super sad. Like he had a lot of problems. Then Odi wind down the window and exclaimed to the rest of the car that the apek looked sad. Then he said dis:
"Yg sudah tu sudah la Pek. Jgn fikir-fikir"
Goooodnesss. Funny u noe. The apek may not have heard him but im sure he noticed Odi looking at him. Dennn Odi told all of us to looooook at the apek. Isssh. So malu tau. Reali. Gaaaaawd. Kesian the apek.
After that, we went to Bukit Timah. Had supper at Al-Ahzar. On the way there, everybody made jokes. Very funny. Very nice. We talked about cars. Bikes. TV shows. Movies. Then when the same Nirvana song came up, EVERYBODY laughed. Gaaaawd. 4 guys laffing away. Goooooodnessss. I think there's some private joke i didnt noe of.
So we reached Al-Ahzar. Die-die had to sit beside Abg. Bluuuuuek. I didnt want to eat anything heavy u noe. It was like already 1130pm and i was afraid i wld become fat. Harharhar. Of course Abg said i wasnt fat at all. Thank u la Abg. I noe u were dying to stuff me wif food.
So i asked the boys for recommendations. They wanted to eat crab. My gawd. Of all things. Merepek meraban. Ummm so in the end all of us had maggi goreng, mee goreng pattaya, prata kaya, teh tarik and teh cino. Hohoho. They made fun of all the mamaks who took orders.
There was a lembut mamak. Another one walked wif so much gusto and swung his arms around (amazing jugak eh the food and drinks he carried didnt spill). Another one kept smiling at us (and the boys suspected it was cos of Odi and his dimples). Another one so garang. And another one kept waving at us. Betol tak bedek. Each time he walked past our table, he smiled, nodded and waved. And again they told Odi to wink and smile at him. Gaaaaaawwwd. Tak baik.
While we waited for our food, Abg finally gave formal introductions.
"OK the one in front of u is Ayim, that one is Acap and of course that one u alreadi noe is Odi"
"Hello..." (i smiled at them)
"And the one beside u is Abg Bubu" (Ayim said that and again i suspect it was a private joke)
"Eh Abg... u intro them den u tak tell dem my name??"
"A'ah la kau Za. Ape sahaje tau" (again Ayim talked)
"Haha. Ok ini Azreen. Eh tak tak. Panggil dia Noreen"
So we talked and laughed and ate. Reali nice tau. Abg asked if the food was to my liking and all. Then he asked if ive been to Niggy's Cheese Prata Shop at Kent Ridge. Oh of course!! Of course Abg!! I lurrrrve their Chicken Cheese Murtabak. Then we talked about eating places and Abg said when he's free he'll bring me together wif the boys. Hohoho.
And then Abg asked me who i was smsing. Was it Ansari. I said Ansari dah tido and i was replying to Nadeem's smses. Then Abg got concerned and asked if we sms every nite. And i told him no la. When the need arises. Not often already. Then Abg took my hp and smsed Nadeem duno wat. The next thing i noe, Nadeem replied telling me to stop it. So i asked Abg wat did he sms Nadeem and Abg said he scolded him as usual. Pakistani shit all that. So i told Nadeem it was Abg who smsed and it wasnt me cos i wldnt call him that. Thennn Nadeem replied wif some bad words and told me to let Abg read. Gaaaaaawd. Childish. It went on for several smses and i had to tell them to stop.
Thennn we realized the place sold Teh Pakistani. Harharhar. Shld have ordered that instead. Then i told Abg we shld bring Nadeem along the next time and he orders Teh Pakistani and we order Melayu style punye teh. Wat Melayu style also i duno.
Then i leaned back against the chair. On Abg's arms and he asked if i was tired. He said i muz be sleepy alreadi. He told me to wait a while longer and we will be home. Hee hee.
Packed Roti John for my mom. Abg paid for my share. Thennn when we were about to leave and i wanted to carry the plastic bag of roti john, Odi offered to carry it for me. I declined la. Paiseh. My mom's Roti John waaat. Then he smiled and said it was ok. Thennn Abg came along and grabbed it and said he wld carry it. Hahaha. I told Abg to let me carry it instead but he insisted to carry it and told me to walk on the pavement and not on the road. Dangerous.
He asked if i wanted to drive and i said no. Issssh. Pls. Dah malam. Anyway God noes wat time we wld reach home if i drive.
The journey home was... well nice. It wasnt quiet nor rowdy. The flow of the conversation was good. Funny funny guys. Then Odi started singing. Gaaaawwwd. Dah sakit tu diam je la. Then he ate his medicine. After that again he wind down the window, stuck his spoon out and using the water from his water bottle, he washed his spoon. All this while Abg was driving. Gooooodnessss.
Sooo reached my house already. Abg and me got off. As i was about to get out of the car, the 3 boys said goodbye and goodnight. I turned, smiled and said bye. Then u noe when u get out of the car, u will somehow glance towards the back right? Soooo i turned and there Odi was. Ok like duh!! He was seated behind me.
And again he smiled. Then he got off the car too and wished me Happy Birthday for the 2nd time last nite. Then he smiled (he reali shld stop it cos i almost wanted to faint) and said goodnight. So he moved to the front passenger seat. Then i went behind to take out all my gifts from the car boot. Thennn before Abg and me walked down the stairs... All 3 guys somehow popped their heads out of the window and said bye again.
Hahaha. So kaklar la. Reali. By far... last nite's trio was the nicest out of the 815 brudders. Not that i've met all of them anyway.
So Abg walked me up. He wanted to talk to my parents but they were asleep so again he apologized for the delay in his birthday present for me and one last birthday wish from Abg.
*sweetness*
(Im sori i babbled so much in dis post. Bleah)
