The Martian Surprise and Birthday Gifts
October 8th, 2008
i wish that i’d had the foresight to blow off my calculus midterm on my birthday. as i found out the moment i took the paper in my hands, i’d studied all week long for nothing, because i still couldnt answer more than half the paper. the day would have been spent a lot better out in Soho or Times Square, methinks, with Martian, who came to NY to surprise me for my birthday :)
so here’s the story! two days before my birthday, i got a really weird text from Martian saying, ‘don’t tell su ann i’m going. she doesnt know’. obviously it wasnt meant to be sent to me, but where was he going that he couldnt tell me about? so i texted him to ask what’s up, but i didnt get a reply. half an hour later, i texted again to ask if he was keeping anything from me. still no reply. then i called him, but he didnt answer. by an hour later, i was getting really angry (and paranoid), so i called him again. TO FIND THAT HIS PHONE WAS OFF.
and thus ensued something like four hours of me trying to call him, but to no avail. my thoughts were really all over the place at this point - i was trying to pin down where he was going, if he was going to meet someone (like some other girl grrrrrr), or if he was going to do something that i wouldnt want him doing. sieutheng kept trying to console me by saying he was probably coming to NY to surprise me for my birthday, but i wasnt so sure, because he’d just left NY a month ago.
by the fifth hour of incommunicado, i was already contemplating calling his mother, but i decided to call one of his best friends first. so i called tattiong (aka justin but tattiong is a lot nicer to say), all panicky and worried, and asked him if he knew where Martian was. he said no, but they were supposed to meet for dinner that night, so if i didnt get to talk to Martian by then, tattiong would make him call me. so since they had dinner plans, i was ruling out the possibility of a surprise visit, which made me even more worried. but actually tattiong is just a very good liar because i found out later that he knew Martian was coming -_- wtf…
dissatisfied, i called Martian’s mother. and omg she just kept changing the subject. i asked her if she knew where Martian was and she kept asking me things like how was i doing, if i was coping well with school, if it was cold, if i was eating properly etc etc etc. when i couldnt stand it anymore and insisted that she tell me where he was, you know what she told me?
‘he’s actually in the hospital for surgery.’
?!?!?!
and i was like FOR WHAT!!! but she wouldnt tell me! she just went on changing the subject and saying that the surgery wasnt serious, that i shouldnt worry, that this was no big deal… which was really strange because she’s like this really kind and concerned mom who would take it quite seriously if Martian was in the hospital for surgery. then i asked her why didnt Martian tell me that he was going for surgery, and she goes “oh.. sorry, i didnt know that you two weren’t speaking!” haih everyone’s a good liar these days. then she told me she would put Martian on the phone when she goes to visit him at the hospital.
haih. okay lor. so clearly i wasnt going to get any information out of her. we hung up, and i called tattiong again to tell him about the hospital news. again, he was sooooo indifferent about the hospital thing, and said that Martian probably didnt tell me about it because he didnt want me to worry, which is so not a real-life situation because Martian and i just dont have that kind of relationship. we would probably ham up a papercut just to get more attention from the other.
an hour later, i finally got my answers. i received something like 10 texts from Martian in one go explaining what was going on. he actually sent all of the texts before he boarded the plane, but as fate would have it (and of course it always does), the texts didnt get to me until 6 hours later. in the first few texts, he went with the appendicitis story, saying that he was going in for surgery now, didnt want me to worry, and that he would call me 12 hours later hahahha what is this?! think i stupid ah! appendicitis surgery doesnt take 12 hours! then somewhere in the middle, presumably because i wasnt replying him, he asked, ‘baby arent you worried about me?’ hahahahaha see, see what did i say. then in the later texts, he explained that he was actually coming to see me, and that he would be stopping over in London, but that he would be here in New York in 24 hours :))
:))
:)))))))))
so this is him napping in my room after he arrived, using Ham as a neck rest:
oh wait cerita belum habis. Martian apparently had this grand plan that he wanted to put in action, which was to get one of my friends to meet up with me, and instead of that friend turning up, he would show up with flowers instead and surprise me. so guess who he contacted to be his partner-in-crime?
hahahahaha aiyooooo let me tell you why she is the worst partner in crime, EVER. to cut short a really long pinging and ponging back and forth between me and suet, she basically told me that she wanted to meet up with me (she’s studying in Massachusetts) cos she would be in New York over the weekend. BUT, she’s actually already coming here next week, so i asked her why would she make double trips? she then said that she wanted to spend time with me for my birthday hahahahahaha which is like ludicrous because it is SO TOTALLY NOT something she would do. so i didnt believe her. and then she started changing her story, saying that she had to come to NY to meet someone, and that i couldnt tell Barry (her boyfriend) or anyone else about it, and that she really needed me to be there for her before she met this person. so i started getting worried. i’m like who’s this person you have to meet? what’s going on? what are you doing?? are you cheating on barry????
and she tells me:
she’s coming to NY to get an abortion.
an ABORTION.
“it’s barry’s baby! i cant tell barry because he will freak out!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTFFFFF WHAT KIND OF STORY IS THIS
you know what’s even funnier?
i actually believed it.
and agonized over it for a couple of days, wondering like crazy if i should convince her to keep the baby. sigh.
——————-
there, that is the story of the failed Martian surprise. in the end he just came straight to my college after checking into the hotel. then on my birthday, he took me out for dinner at Serafina. he’s also spending a couple more days here before he leaves :) sigh. im just really, really glad he’s here. i’ve been missing him so much. it really was the coolest ’surprise’ ever; i really dont mind that it didnt work out the way it was planned, as long as Martian is here. a big thank you to you, liewsuetli, for being part of the plan and for not actually getting yourself knocked up :P
pictures of some birthday presents!:
these flowers were delivered to my dorm together with a box of chocolates and a big happy yellow helium balloon! :D they were from my lovely aunt, whom you can see leaving comments on my blog every now and then.
Martian got me a gorgeous pair of shoes from Shoes Shoes Shoes! i think it was last Christmas that he was going to get me something gadgety like an MP3 player or a mobile phone, and then his friend who owns Shoes Shoes Shoes scolded him and said that every girl should get girly gifts like shoes. haha. i think he took the advice to heart :P i love the shoes! i always think it’s so cool when a guy knows what kind of shoes or clothes to get his girlfriend :)
and this is the card Martian mailed to me. he’s damn funny wan la, he actually couriered this card to me even though he was coming here. waste money on postage only… but nvm lah the card so cute! when i saw the piggy i was like WTF… what is he trying to say! then when i opened it, the first sentence was “i know what you’re thinking.. it’s not like that”. haha :P
OMG these are from Carol! cupcakes from Magnolia!!! earlier this year when i told the people from Bisou that i was possibly going to New York to study, they insisted that i check out this cupcake place in NY called Magnolia. apparently the cupcakes there are reallyyyyy good, and it’s the store that was featured in Sex and the City? and Carol got some for me <3 omg <3 i nearly fainted from ecstasy when i ate them. it's super sweet, yes, but SO DELICIOUS. these cupcakes redefine sinful. carol, even Martian says they're good. and you know how Mr Carrot Chip hates sinful desserts...
a beanie from Chew Fui! i didnt think of buying hats for the winter, so i’m really going to need this when it gets colder here. the beanie came along with a super cute card that had a masterpiece drawn by Chew Fui’s daughter, Mei. it’s so cool! check out the envelope behind the card :D
and this huge box came for me in the mail last week :) i knew immediately that it was from my family. i opened it to find:
hahaha! i think my family thinks i’m still a kid. and they thought right! the wrinkly bulldog is from my dad and the red elephant is from my mom. the elephant’s name is Dumbo, which is actually what my parents have been calling me since i was a baby. until now. ya. my parents call me Dumbo :\ they duped the 4-year-old me into thinking it was a cute name.. but now that i am 20 and more discerning, i know better :\
the cow is from Tall Brother and he actually referred to it as a ‘pig’ in the card. hello?? it is a cow, not a pig! but haih then again he also thought Pooch (who is a dog) was a sheep. and the long sausage pig is from Short Brother. his name is Ham! the pig, not my brother. Martian thinks Ham is a very good neck rest.
and this is the card that came with the box. sigh. when i opened the card and read it, it really hit me that this was my first birthday away from my home. i guess i hadnt really thought about it until that point in time. i miss my family! :( and it’s my Short Brother’s birthday today. happy birthday Short Brother!!!
i also got a bunch of American snacks from my floormates, but i forgot to take pictures of the snacks! now they’re all in my tummy. i’m having a lot of fun exploring this whole new world of American snacks. pretzels, salted popcorn, pop tarts, reese’s pieces… yumm :)
all in all, i had a wonderful birthday :) if you guys left me comments or facebook mssgs but didnt see the thank you video i left in the comments section of the post below, then let me say thank you again! i know i should be growing out of this phase where i’m really excited to have birthday cards and birthday presents and i’m always looking forward to birthday cake and all the phone calls at midnight… but i cant help myself :))) i just love birthdays. i wonder if i’ll still love them as much when i hit the big 3-0 ten years from now.

11. Chef Mel | October 9th, 2008 at 11:27 am
hey, you know wt.. people said its a taboo to give your other half foot wears (ie ; shoes, heels, slippers).. I dont how true that is but, it happen to me and a few of my friends. I gave my then bf a pair of Adidas All Star and he gave me a pair of heels, within a few months we broke up. My close friend who gave her bf a pair of sandals broke up within a month!!! Ofcourse, im not going to say you and Martian will be too ( u both look awesomely sweet together!) .. :P
12. carolyong | October 9th, 2008 at 11:31 am
hahahahaaha oh liewsuetli =P damn funny.
okay so when suet comes i think another magnolia visit is in order…. and this time you have to try the cakes! and banana pudding!!!!! *excited
13. sweatlee | October 9th, 2008 at 11:31 am
EH actually i got excuse if she asks this question edi. the answer is my friend told me that she knows this doc in ny and can get discount WTF everyone knows i like discounts!
LET ME CLARIFY SOMETHING. LIM SU ANN is the hardest girl to plan a surprise for please do not ever attempt to surprise her with anything again. Usually right if you're normal and I tell you I want to visit you then you should just shaddap and appreciate if but she interrogated me for 5 hours ok! Why am i coming la what time la where la give the exact reason la
T_T
this is a tragedy sigh do you know how much time and effort and sleepless nights went to waste to plan this perfect surprise?!
Actually right the first plan was this:
Martian waits for her in a restaurant. She comes in expecting to see me and sees him instead. She squeals in excitement and pees in her pants. Martian (with flowers in hand), goes over to kiss her. All the other patrons stand up and clap. Happily every after!
But martian scolded me! said this is not some tv drama no need like that T_T
14. sweatlee | October 9th, 2008 at 11:33 am
oh also right!!! I DID NOT SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE cause i was so excited thinking of them reuniting and it feels so good then i had to skip class the next day cause not enough sleep T____________T woe is me
15. Andy | October 9th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Happy (Belated?) Birthday suann :)
I had a few stares from my mates while reading this post, up to the part where Suet Li lied about the abortion, I literally laughed out loud.
Hope everything's well in NY, take care :)
16. Ria | October 9th, 2008 at 11:49 am

20. hui wen | October 9th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAH DAMN STUPID LIEW SUET LI!!!
But awww, the whole entry is so heartwarming! I especially like the part about the giant stuffed toy family your family sent you!! And the drawing of the littler daughter on your card!!! And scrolling up and realising that indeed Martian was using Ham as a neckrest (can see its head poking out) hahaha

23. Pearly | October 9th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
‘he’s actually in the hospital for surgery.’ …
she’s coming to NY to get an abortion. ….
haha…. Damn stupid funny excuses lo … i almost spurt out my lunch, lol !
But all excuses from them are so sweet … ….. isn't ?
*first comment on quaintly.net, been follow you a year….. nice blog ya ! =)
24. ronin | October 9th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Oooh so much drama! Luckily for Martian, it didn't backfire too badly. Must say that those people are damn poor liars.
I used to give my wife 'spectacular' surprises too. But after marriage and a couple of kids, the surprises are fewer in between and not that spectacular. Besides work, also need to focus on the kids. But the wife keeps on complaining, why I ain't like last time anymore : (
So Martian, remember there maybe repercussions in later years!
25. catherine | October 9th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
thats really funny! suetli has an abortion? martian went for surgery? su ann its hard to find a boyfriend like martian so good luck in this LDR :)
26. ShaolinTiger | October 9th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
This post really makes me smile, the first part damn funny, the last part damn sweet.
27. mchllchn | October 9th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
The Suet Li part is SO. FUNNY. :D :D Honestly, I think Martian's pick on the heels are AWESOME. THEY ARE SO PRETTY!!! :) And I shall wish you well for Calculus too! :) :)
*throws wishes at you*
Heh!
28. Tera | October 9th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
hahaha…you are so dramatic!!!
anyway,
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
29. missnobody | October 9th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
HAHAHAHA what is this. Suet Li says she have to get an abortion.
Gawd.
Hahahaha.
Martian sent a wrong msg to you. That happens all the time. It happens to me too. When I was planning a surprise party. Because you will be thinking of her/him and then accidentally just sent it to her.
Glad you had a great birthday. The shoes are gorgeous. =)
30. YM | October 9th, 2008 at 2:21 pm

arghgh…. there's still wailing and gnashing of teeth from me.. actually without discredit to sweatli, it would've worked if not for my foul up. pau pau didn't suspect anything at all. how great a work it would hv been for it to work. argh woe is me.
33. vvens | October 9th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

34. mg | October 9th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
lol… good one.. happy birthday! looks like you had a nice birthday although being away from home =)
35. pinkyboo | October 9th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
you have a bunch of craziest friends lol. I really rofl about the part where martian texted you “baby you arent you worried about me” lol. He clearly panicked and suddenly forgotten that he had a surprise in hand. Too cute.
Can I share my story too? Well I love surprises especially giving surprises. Its a huge adrenaline rush to see the other party's eyes go (0__0). My ex bf's bday is coming up and for the entire week I've been working on a handmade bday card. Im planning to mail (they all live in nyc) it to his bestfriend so that his bestfriend can give the card to him on the day of his bday and he will be all surprised and shocked because he'll never expect anything from me since we're no longer together. Well at least thats what I hope will happen. For all you know, he will be surprised alright, but in a bad way and then throw the card away. Oh well.
36. kreazi | October 9th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Awwwwww~~~ Su Ann, I read this post laughing my head off, then my eyes got watery…. you're such a special person to your family, martian and friends :) Enjoy whatever you have now coz honestly, birthday excitements kind of die down as you grow older. By 30, it would be good if a handful of people still remembers your birthday! Hahaahahahaha :) p/s : can die man…. this suet li, of all things, think of abortion! watched too much Moonlight resonance drama oredi lar! Hahahahaahahaha
37. Rachel | October 9th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Hi Su-ann! ur boyfriend is for keeps! he's too sweet! =) i'd be touched to tears! anw, i do need your advice, i'll be taking a major exam at the beginning of next year and im really fearing the essay component of things. seeing that you write beautifully in a concise clear manner, could you advice me on how to conquer writing 2 essays in 1 hour?! im a science student and while i dont have dificulty understanding the language, im sometimes dumbfounded when i need to form clear polical/social arguments !! HELP!!
just one more thing, i love that ure totally not pretentious! & i get a very down to earth feel when i hear u speak in ur video comments! NYC seems cool but at the same time very tough to survive in!
38. takemoto | October 9th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

I did the same thing (even getting my friend to meet her on the day I arrive) when I proposed to my fiance in February this year.
The only thing is I get her to believe I was sick and sleeping all the time, while I flew over - she didn't call me when I 'slept' :)
Happy Birthday!

ssd : ssd i just realized that you and suet li share a common bond
martian : are you tearing at your clothes and hair and beating your breast?
vvens : more like too paranoid :P
mg : i did :)))
pinkyboo : haha we are like that wan. very attention seeking from each other. wow you're sending your ex bf a handmade card!! handmade cards are the coolest ever. im sure he's not going to throw it away :)
kreazi : that's what im afraid of, that the excitement of birthdays will die down :( i hope it never does! hahaha yes yes it must be this moonlight resonance thing
rachel : wow 2 essays in an hour? actually i wish i could advise you but back in school i always used to go over time for the essay components, and in the last 5 minutes i would have to scribble a really hastily put-together ending. my problem was that i spent too much thinking of a spectacular story idea, and also spending too much time on the perfect opener.. but when i realized that i should just settle for an average topic but write it well, and also not to agonize over the opener, i was okay. i suppose since you're writing sopo essays, your issue is how to organize your thoughts? a rule of thumb is always to use signposts at the start of each paragraph to indicate a new idea. try to sequence your points as closely as possible so that they have a nice flow. to be honest i'm just clutching at straws here cos im not really sure what your problem is :
takemoto : HAHAHAHAHAHA suet see takemoto's comment!! very funny!!
hw : haha wait till you're put on the spot :P see what excuse you can come up with
cb : 2 bucks?! wtf. no la i pay him back in kisses :D
thegeekinpink : her sharp and dashing wit! haih yalar what to do i guess men can be attention seeking too :P
linsey : indeedy!
sheon : why you say he's the man but never say im the girl =( haiya 3 years! long time more
bjk : noooo i need my own space
lishun : thank u lishun :))) thank u for the video comment also :))) you were the very first person to leave me a vid comment!!!
luxfare : haha actually its just the curtains that make the whole room look pink cos the sun was shining in. ya i actually do trust people too much. not a good thing, but i think i know the right people to trust too much :) occasionally i make mistakes tho
:) : thank u!
WP : no idea =(((
wenqi : okay! let me know soon. martian going back to singapore/kl soon. actually, email me if its urgent!
mei : haha why would i be offended! the more ppl have the piggy card, the happier i am! its so cute
mel : cannot T___T there's only one martian and he's mine T___T
jin : the cupcakes were soooooo gooooood
creampuff : i think equus is closing soon, so i probably have to go quite soooon!
josh : wow what did you guys paint! are you doing architecture as well, or did you just bump into her and started painting?

I can't stop smiling reading this!!!
63. Irene | October 10th, 2008 at 7:57 am
what an awesome surprise! i want a birthday like that too, but instead, for my 21st this year, i'll be studying for exams on my birthday. -_-”
i can't believe the lengths ppl went to lie to you so they won't ruin the surprise, but ABORTION?! i got to give suet li (that's my name too!) credit for creativity. haha.
64. sylvia | October 10th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Happy B'day Su Ann.
65. Yijean | October 10th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Hehehe. The surprise is funny! Happy Belated bday btw! :) I think your really lucky to have so much going on for your birthday even though your so far away. :D :D Enjoy being 20!! :D
66. felice | October 10th, 2008 at 11:11 am
those shoes are TDF!!!!!
Oh and i think the abortion story is genius considering the circumstances. LOL. im just wondering what story would have been believable to you? or what would you have said if it had been you in suet li's shoes? coz to be honest, i would probably blabbed the secret out after 5 hours of interrogation. so, kudos to suet li :)
67. sweatlee | October 10th, 2008 at 11:44 am
yay everyone thinks im funny wtf *satisfied after hanging around here for hours NO LAH KIDDING U THINK I GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO AH wtf

68. Jeff from LA | October 10th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Sweatlee, I still cannot believe that the explanation you came up with was AN ABORTION. Lol, you crack me up so much. You are my hero.
Honestly though………an abortion?
69. pinkyboo | October 10th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
in response to your plurk msg, omg you totally need to watch Avenue Q!!!! Thats the best play to watch with martian because i can imagine how u both will be coming out of the theatre teasing each other using the lines from the show. Gosh I can give you 15123987416 reasons why you should watch it but i gotta run now, gonna go the post office to mail my stupid handmade card to the ex-bf
-____-
70. Shinyi | October 10th, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Happy birthday!
I think I'm really late. :P Anyway, if you're a pig, I'm your relative. heh.
73. iamthewitch | October 10th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Oh yes, I heard of that taboo too… When you give your partner footwear, it's like asking him or her to run … from you! Just a superstition perhaps. :)
74. Victor | October 10th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Hey, your experience is just awesome! Haha, the whole account was so special and captivating that I almost missed my class reading it. Everybody were so cooperative in tricking you, imagine even the mother would be involved. Lolz. Yea, you're one blessed person. And happy belated bday to you.
75. hw | October 10th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

85. Mabel | October 11th, 2008 at 5:22 am
Martian is so sweet, together with Suet Li and the mum also cheated you! I use to think the name Dumbo the elephant is very cute…:p.
86. Josh | October 11th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Yeah, doing architecture as well. She's my coursemate and when I'm bored I call her Sieu Sieu.
It was an art workshop, 5% of our subject grade for two subjects was fulfilled by attending. We had to paint something architectural themed (though there was a lot off tangent ie. angels, animals, etc, LOL)
87. Irene | October 11th, 2008 at 8:23 am
yup same name, just different surname. got myself an english name when i went to nz. i was tired of telling people my name is not pronounced as 'suit' but as 'sweat', which just results in people laughing. >_<
but seriously ah, i can't believe you said abortion. i would never say that to my friends. they think my theme song is madonna's 'like a virgin'. lol.
88. skyler | October 11th, 2008 at 11:21 am
HAHAHAHHA PINKYPAU YOUR STORY (+suet's wtf) DAMN FUNNY. My internet very slow =( cannot load pictures =(
who is your friend josh ah I went on my sister's blog and she also said she painted acrylic on canvas in college
89. kreazi | October 11th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Another question though…. you asked martian to pose sleeping kah? Never know ppl sleep wearing specs ler!!!
90. ionStorm | October 11th, 2008 at 11:51 am
awwwwwwww. :D
see. you should trust him more. :P
91. estherrr | October 11th, 2008 at 11:58 am
happy 4-days-belated birthday!
lol suetli and martian's mom are so funny! reminds me of my girlfriends they're so good at acting it's scary sometimes. once one of my guy friends just said, 'today doesn't feel like friday. feels like it's not end of the week lidat.'
and then one of them started, 'yea didn't you know? they switched thursday and friday so now it's monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday, thursday.'
then we all jumped in and the poor boy believed us and threw a big tantrum when he found out it wasn't real lol.
happy belated birthday! =)
92. vvens | October 11th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
hahaha anyway i just realized you linked The Envelopes! AWW! <3 thank you!
93. ap | October 11th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
ZOMG hands-down funniest story ever poor pinkpau had to suffer through the anguish of a purported abortion. i think u both are amazing la lollll
94. Jeffrey | October 11th, 2008 at 7:44 pm

95. LJY | October 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

96. cloudy | October 11th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Pinkpau, you are so blessed with all very supportive caring family and friends, if only everyone's life is about yours, the world will be in peace always.
Happy Belated Birthday!
You and Martian are one of the best couples, like Jolie and Pitt…
btw, if you don't mind, how does Martian make living? He can have a short escape anytime.
97. amy | October 11th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
opps, looks like im late!
happy belated birthday anyway :D
omg, those heels!!! my bf nvr gave me heels or clothes :(
i bet he doesnt even know my size -_-”
98. michellesy | October 12th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I knew it was Martian *smug wtf*
Awww, I can feel the love your family and friends have for you all the way from Australia okay! I mean Martian and his mom and bestie and Suet conspiring to pull wool over your eyes was too, too hilarious! And the hugggggggge box from your family, filled with the soft toys like the ambiguous cow-pig (hahahaah why is your brother so funny!). And the uber-cute bouquet and balloon from your aunt!
So, so sweet!
ps: Okay, maybe the appendicitis and ABORTION bit wasn't that sweet, but it was still done out of love.
ABORTION WTF LIEW SUET LI, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING AHAHAHAHAH! And why did she hasten to assure you that it was Barry's baby ahahaahahah! As though it would be likely to be anyone else's hahahahah.
99. RealGunners | October 12th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
rich rich rich ~.~” suka suka then fly over thr to surprise u…
100. eunice | October 13th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Hi :)
Happy Belated Birthday!
And OMG I love that sausage pig and that babi cute pig card.
101. pinkpau | October 13th, 2008 at 2:26 am
i hate it when people make remarks as ignorant as yours. “suka suka” as if he does this all the time and as if he doesnt think it's expensive too. a boyfriend saves money to surprise his girlfriend for her first birthday away from home and all you can focus on is how “rich” he supposedly is. please dont spoil my happy surprise with your cynicism.
102. RealGunners | October 13th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
shit.. i didn't mean to spoil anything.. i just replied on the spur of the moment in the middle of the night.. it's just that… people normally won't be able to afford to fly to the US and back for more than once in the space of a couple of months..
gah i guess it's better to cut explaining.. just a sincere apology.. SORRY >.<
will think thrice before making any comments from here onwards..
PS: and yeah! ur guy/man/boyfriend/honey is 1 heck of a person.. thumbs up to him, and good for u too :-)
(i even got some sort of a mini spike in traffic from this particular link, else i wouldn't have checked back and realized the terrible implications of my comment, have been busy with quite a number of work and personal matters myself..
anyway, thanks for the traffic and sorry for ruining your day =.=)
103. Abby | October 15th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
HAHAHA so thats what all the abortion thingy was abt??? omg only suet li would say that!!
104. EK | October 18th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Ur friends are so sweet as well as your boyfriend!! Hahaha Wish you have a belated birthday.
105. curryegg | October 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 am
Oh my.. Look like I've missed a lot of your posts.
Anyway, wish you a happy 20 year old… :)
You've a great bf, friends and family… lovely! May you have a great time in NY..
*hugs*..
106. ahlost | October 25th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
