blogging about: 18th august 2008 (my 15th birthday!)

i woke up and i thought, it's my 15th birthday today! haha... the first thing i did was to turn on my computer and log into my msn account because i promised chanel (my internet friend i have known for 3 years already from tvbsquare) to say good-bye to her before she goes to hong kong for around 10 days for holiday, why does she have to leave on my birthday? i miss her! i was surprised to see joyce (another member i have known for quite a while now from tvbsquare) left me offline messages wishing me happy birthday, i haven't spoken to her for a long time and she still remembers my birthday, thanks joyce!

after that, i went out with my parents to go food shopping at 'home bargains', 'tesco' and 'lidl', my mum said i can choose a bouquet of flowers in 'tesco' because it's my birthday! so i chose a small bouquet of mixed white and pink flowers, girly yeah? haha... when i got home, i put them in a vase and left them on the dining table for decoration for dinner tonight so it looked like it was my birthday, making the living room look more festive. when we got home from shopping, it was around 4.30pm and i promise chanel at 5.00pm to say the last good-bye to her before she gets on her 6.20pm plane to hong kong, she texted back saying: "hi. yup at the airport. thanks. have a great bday too." oh i was so glad she got my text and texted me back, she even wished me a happy birthday, although she said it many times already, haha...

i had my 'birthday dinner' around 6.15pm. my favourite was beijing sliced duck (i think that's what you call it), do you know what they are? well, it's like you get this thin piece of circle shaped pastry thing with no taste in it, then add on hoisin sauce to it, small slices of vegetables (i put in cucumber), small slices of duck and then roll it up like a kebab and eat! we also had spring onion and ginger crabs and some other vegetables stuff. mmm... i love crabs! my dad was drinking red wine, haha... but i was drinking a carton of vita brand chrysanthemum tea drink also known as 菊花茶 (kuk fa cha) in hong kong (you'll know if you're from hong kong, you can buy them in yellow cartons, they look really similar to the lemon tea carton drinks because they are both vita brands). well yes, that was my day! below are my birthday stuff...


my birthday stuff! there are cards (from chanel and my school friends), a jewelry set chanel sent me all the way from london and the red packets my parents gave me. i'll type up what the cards say inside...
