HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY to ME!

I had another birthday celebration with my volleyball mates at a special cafe called 'That's Cafe' located at Jln Wong Ah Fook. (of all name i don't know why it is called That's). To all JB people, i'm sure you know where i'm talking about. The cafes there are so retro & designed to look sophisticated for a sit, chill & dine.

This is a really great idea to utilise the old shops of Jln Wong Ah Fook to revamp it into a chill out zone at night! :)

the choo choo train is so cute...compliments the white furnishings

I really love the exterior of the cafe coz it looks English just like the way i want my English Cottage to be. But mine will be far more classy & comfortable. I love the lil garden they have outside the pavement & the white door compliments the English ambience. Upstairs of the cafe doesn't look English. It has a touch of retro interior just like the famous Roost Cafe. There is also a boutique & hair salon situated upstairs.

Let's have tea shall we?

Ahhhhhhhh! I love the white door frames coz it's soooo English. I love English design a lot! Yi Ping was at the door!

This is the wall drawings at the stairs. Looks like a child's bedroom drawings. Nice! :D

I love the bulbs. I have always love the classic dressing mirror with bulbs. Inside is the hair saloon! So retro!

Do you feel 70's?
the old school telephone is always the favourite thing to play with

When everyone arrived at the cafe, the atmosphere was so merry seeing everyone again...you know those crazyass people love to have fun & laughter as usual. So after we had our fill, we played the game Mafia AGAIN!!! Ahahaha! They just can't get enough of Mafia. Then later we played another game called King Game which the King card holder can demand anyone of the cards 1-10 to do what is demanded! Since we are all sporting & crazyass people, the dare was kinda extreme. Hahaha.... Since i was the birthday girl, they gave me the privilege to be King & i ruled out 4 demands for card holders number 5, 9, 3 and 8. Hahaha! Those lucky people were Yi Ping, Yi Tong, Pee See Er & Hong Ping. Woohuhuhuhu! :p

Choon Lian was the 1st to do a dare. They demanded her to dance pole dance & Chia Wen was the pole! Bahahaha~.....

Whoaaaaa-aaahhh! Ah Lian damn pro ahhhh!

Yi Ping was the 1st to do my dare by starjumping to & fro the cafe! Hahaha! She was so cute & embarrassed coz there were other diners at the cafe too. Next was Yi Tong & See Er which had to jump up in the air & bump each other with their chest! But alamak problem is...Yi Tong is tall & Pee See Er is short so i asked them to bump their bellies together lah. Haha...So they did it & posed an 'act cute peace sign Yay!' for me. Hahaha! :D Last one was Hong Ping who i demanded him to go into the bling bling curtain fitting room & then pull away the bling bling curtains all of a sudden while singing an oldies Ah Pek song! He was damn shy & the stressful look on his face was sooo farnee. I had a greaaaaaaaat laugh the whole night with the company of the gang. They are all a bunch of steady jokers! :)

Yi Tong & Pee See Er doing the 'bump my belly' thang! Hahaha.....
and there you go...the 'act cute peace sign with a big YAY!' Ahahaha! Good one!

Thanks soooo much to you guys for making my birthday a great one! I really appreciate it lotssssss! :)

After playing, one of the shop owner came & asked Hong Ping to off the lights. When i turned my head to the left i saw my birthday cake!!! All of them then immediatedly sang the Birthday song. AWWWWWWW!!! I really didn't expect to have a cake. I was already very contented all of them came that day to have fun together. I was surprised. Haha...Usually i give people surprises but i'm really happy to get a surprise to usher in my 20th birthday. Thanks sooo much guys! I really appreciate it a lot! And and.....Chia Wen & Yi Tong bought me a necklace as my prezzie. Man...............Thanks so much man!!

It's my birthday! My cake was very nice...soft & chocolatey. :)

Birthday to me is not the biggest celebration of the year. In fact, i feel age is just a number that keeps changing every year. I live life to the fullest & do whatever i yearn to. I won't feel sad even if i don't have a cake. I don't get prezzies every year too. My life is like having birthdays everyday coz i am blessed with lotsa great friends who share love, laughter & fun with me. That is why I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!! ( just like what my msn name says...haha)

Oh yeah!!! I would like to express my hearfelt big thank you to these people here in my blog.

First is Miss Beverly Hew Shin Yi aka Bev Bev aka Baby Bev! This woman ah....she called me all the way from Australia, Toowombaa at 12am Australia time sehhhhhh. Man................i was so touched you know what i'm sayin? When she called her voice was like a little girl's voice and i was in the car with my family. Then i was like Huh? Shin Yi? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! OMGGGGG! SHIN YI!!!! :D Ahaha...blur me. Shin Yi is really a very caring friend & will do everything she can to help me. Haha...i remember going down to the school canteen to buy her hot milo coz she was having gastric pain during lesson in class. Then when i gave her the milo that woman cried! Hahaha! Silly girl!

Second is Nick who sms-ed me a very meaningful poem in a way to wish me Happy Birthday. That was a very nice poem created by you Nick! Thank you very much!

Third is Miss Ee Su Qin lah. That woman has been MIA for soooo long. I really really miss talking to her & she is really a great friend to me. I remember what she wrote in my autograph book and it meant a lot to me. Miss you sooooo much Su Qin!! :(

Fourth is Michelle Soh! :D She is my primary classmate and we have been friends for 12 years now. What is sooo special about her is she never fail to remember me though we drifted apart during Standard 4. She left for another primary school but we kept in touch through snail mail! That was very memorable coz i will get so excited & especially exuberant when i receive her letter. Michelle came back to Convent during secondary but we rarely talk though we were in the same school again.

Then the most touching thing was during the 'Seek Forgiveness Day' to our teachers & friends before SPM. Michelle came to me & gave me a big hug saying something like 'Thank You Jia Li my primary school friend'. I was so very touched to the MAX coz she has never forgotten me all these years. I remember i immediatedly broke down into tears after she said that to me. This is what i really acknowledge what a true friend is although we seldom meet. Michelle will occasionally send me messages to keep in touch & i really appreciate her effort. It's very hard to keep a friendship going on strong if both friends don't initiate to keep in touch. I bumped into her at KL Sentral last month & that's when i know she is now studying in KL! Goody! I will find her out for a good catch up one day! :) Dear Michelle, thank you soooo much for all the wonderful memories we spent since primary. You're a true friend worth keeping & appreciated forever! :)

Friends are the best treasures i have in my life besides my family. I'm really thankful to be blessed with soooooo many great friends that will always be there for me anytime anywhere. Serious! My uni friends, the bunch of cool Utarian clique that i mix with, my crazyass T5 classmates, my Convent school friends, my Volleyball teammates, my dear babes from the clique that i mix with, the bunch of big brothers & sisters volleyball gang in KL, all of my working friends & all of my KL & JB friends...So much gratitude that can't be expressed here. Thanks soooo much is the simplest way to make it short. I LOVE MY FRIENDS! Hugsssssssssssssssssss! :)
