b-day cards

someone said that i should update my blog so here i am. and i'm finally done with the 2 individual assignments! been working so hard on it as compared to my usual slack self haha. my mum even commented after i spent an entire weekend infront of my desk: i haven't seen you so guai and hardworking for how long alr!

imagine taking 5.5 modules in NUS, all of them CA (continual assessment) based. sometimes i barely manage to catch up with the lessons. but i guess it's still better than FYP. that one hor, really pointless i feel. yes yes i know u get more pay and have better career prospects but in my line of work the extra yr's really quite useless. and i abhor lab work anyways.

let's talk about my b-day (which is damn long ago)! hmm i received quite a few cards, of which some were really well-written and touching. i'm a fan of words (infact i'm quite particular abt the written word) and being able to read stuff which is insightful and shows understanding of oneself, really makes me feel loved. of course i loved the gifts too. and the meal treats (sangi, linky).

ok i've just eaten so i can't exactly go jog now. shall write mundane stuff (analysing the cards!) until 20 mins later when i shall leave for a spot of exercise.

the above card was from my dear (0ld) flaggers. a v typical one, with some traces of unfamiliarity (random greetings from those i'm not so close to) and insightful comments from a certain few. eh kns lor, more than half of them addressed me as 'himbo' in their greetings. your fault, dilys. i'm like, how intelligent and mature can! hahahaa.

next is the tiny playing cards-esque b-day greetings from lalaa. budget issit! coin included to give idea of the scale. you know, i do agree with alot of things u said in the card. but i guess it can't be helped la. go with the flow and see ba!

next up, my dear friend of 3 years charm! a very annoying card indeed. i stopped reading it on the train cos i felt it made me look stupid rotating it ACW constantly. a cute card with cute handwriting from a friend who's always been there and willing to listen/share.

from another dear friend of mine whom i really appreciate for keeping me in check and giving me a different perspective (we're totally different) of issues at time. the card hor, the best la, i told her. where got pple tear off a page from A4 scrapbook and not cut off the edges one! she assured me she does it to all her friends. good job glad, you have the honour of being the friend with the messiest handwriting (and the wordiest smses and mails). not hair too now, at least.

no prizes for guessing who made this. i've always been one for the content and not so appearance but this.. giant collage (do u call it that) really stunned me when i saw it. the effort that went into it is simply unimaginable. it's something the non-artistic me can never do. for the small little plates with words, i later realised that it's not randomly placed, but actually constitutes meaning.

hmm and to think we were still friends (2mths?) when you gave me this. not that u din suspect i would pop the question that very day la. i expect something more gigantic in the future now that we're on a different level now! hehhh. it'll be hard to do smth way better than this la. but u can try :)

thanks everybody!
