yUp, i just hit 20 years old few days back and to be honest, it makes me feel so old..no longer a teen and can't jolly around anymore....Hehe Anyway, this year's celebrations were really fantastic, filled with lots of surprises and a string of celebrations..Thanks to all my fellow mates who has put in lots of effort to make my day a memorable one... Let me share with U wat my dearie friends did at the moment the clock struck 12am on 28th of March!
Jeremy called me and here is the conversation:
Jeremy: Hey Angie, where are u now?
Angie: At home...
Jeremy: Hey come to pool side now..Everybody is waiting for u. Come down fast!
Angie:(with doubt) izzit true?Dun lie to me..
Jeremy:No of coz..come down faster!
Angie: Okok..coming coming..
Without hesitation, i took my keys and rushed out to see wat they hav in stored for me..Hehe..
As i walked out my doorsteps,walking towards the lift...."Happy Birthday to u, Happy birthday to U......" Out of the sudden a group of them came out from a tiny little store room next to the corridoor with a chocolate cake. Singing the famous birthday song for me! At the moment, i was really shocked with their sudden appearance in front of my doorstep!!!
*huGs* to Edwina, Leong, Jeremy, Victor, Ching Li, Naomi, Dits and Mus! Aunty am so HappY!!

I thought that was about it..but NO! Denise called...
Denise: Happy Birthday Angie...
Angie: Thanks a lot dear.
Denise: Are you at home now?
Angie: Yea..Doing my PBL
Denise: Okla, see u tmr in uni ya..good night!
5 mins later, she sent me a msg saying that she left a present outside my door step AGAIN. Please follow the petals till the end!
And so i went out to check it out and i found this..a treasure hunt, i supposed:)

Another piggie saying 'go straight~'
Ok..MORE petals.. and wat can i find at the end after the door??

28th of March 2007 has been a great day.
It started off with Ivy Ang..It was so sweet of her to prepare me breakfast early morning as we went to do announcement bout the CF Camp to Sem 1 batch!
As i walked into my class later, my batch mates started to wish me, showering me with love and blessing on my big day! Just before my lecturer came in, Phing Phing presented me with a big bouquet of SUNFLOWER!!Fuyoh, they were really huge and i was speechless at that moment coz i didnt expect it.
Biggie Thanks Phing, Stephanie, Hui Yen, Ian Zing and Xandra for the SunFloWer!!
Few minutes later, lecture began and i tried to concentrate in class. But another distraction came..Wennie suddenly passed me a cute black pig tying with love shaped balloons to me...Wah, i was so excited at that moment! Seeing the pig smiling widely infront of me, i just cant concentrate on wat the Dr was teaching but kept staring and playing with the soft toy throughtout the whole lecture..Haha..thanks to Wennie, Raymond, Aditya and William!*_*
After class i went to attend cell group meeting! The sharing that day by Jeremy was good..
Right after that, again my cellies acted weird and brought me to the cafetaria where they have planned a surprise birthday celebration for me. Pei's mum has baked me a fruit cake and Li Jun presented me a bouquet if SunfloWer too...Hehe..Looks like everybody knew i'm a SunFloWer LoVER!! Besides, Geoffrey showed me a video consists of birthday wishES from all my pals in IMU. It is a GrEat production by Pei and Geoffrey! Watching Denise wishing me in Mandarin was fun, Esther with her great vocal singing birthday song was special and Crz wishing me in a creepy mood was scary. But in all, the wishes by U u U made me feel much loveD..Thanks a MILLION guys, I really love LOVE love the video of 'Journey with Angelene':)
**********************
That night, Ivy, Ee Leen, Sarah, Li Jun, Timothy, Wilfred and Joanne celebrated for me inTaste Walking.. As usual, when all the people from CF gathered together. The SSness in us doubled up! The restaurant which was once a romantic place turned into 'Pasar Malam', filled with noise and Laughters!Muahaha...everybody was too HAppY!!
This day was really filled with joy and blessings! Oh, it was also the only day when my phone can non-stop ringin, friends sending messages with birthday wishes. Surprised calls from Jess who is now in Australia and Shann who is currently in US. Thanks gals...I was really happy to hear ur voices since u both left Malaysia...

Day 2 of Angelene's birthday!
My pals decided to go for steamboat to celebrate Angelene's birthday AGAIN...We had a great time of fellowship especially when Aditya came along! I hope he enjoyed it cause he didn't like fish cakes and fish balls at first! But after trying it, they turned out to be his cup of tea!Way to go Kenyan! Celebration will not come to end wihout dessert for us! So, as the happening group, we drove all the way to A&W which is 30 mins drive, to have our favourite waffle with ice-cream! And on our way, we met the King and Queen of Malaysia who were havin a function nearby! Huh, Pei, Denise and i felt so honoured!Muahaha..craziness i supposed!
Dits enjoying Steamboat!
