My belated birthday outing (II)

The highlight of my birthday trip was the Boating Experience.


Photobucket


There were 2 types of boats for hire. One was the 'chaperone' one, and another one was the 'self-service' one.

We all picked self-service as it seemed more fun. But even the self-service ones had various types, one was rowing, paddling (with feet) , and punting.


Therefore,there was division in our group for the first time that day.

Let me introduce you to Group A:

Photobucket

Group A chose paddling. Group A also has a great resume. Within the gay couple, one guy goes to the gym daily, the other one is a fisherman who has been steering boats for years. The female there is merely an accessory to sit and look pretty for photography purposes.

Life was, admittedly, good. It fact, it was a peach, what better way to go through the Oxford canal with ease :)






But then, I give you Group B:

Photobucket



Photobucket

Group B consist of 3 females who have barely exercised in the past 3 months. Especially for the birthday girl, the most strenous exercise she's probably ever done in the past 3 months was walking up the stairs to her room.


There was also a male, who upon land was but your everyday average looking Joe......until he stepped on the boat. He miraculously became God's gift to women, and the girls on board swoon at his awsome handsome-ness. He was stunning.

Photobucket
The back of the awsomely handsomest man on board. Yes, I know he is the only man on board :P


Group B wanted to try 'punting' coz its very Venice-inspired.

Haha. Big mistake.

Group B had haggard looking faces throughout the photos. Co-ordination also became a problem between everyone.

Photobucket

We wanted to give punting a shot so we took turns with Mel!



Photobucket


Unfortunately, as stated before, co-ordination wasn't goood. Our favourite mistake was to head straight for the trees nearby the banks.

Photobucket
Sam trying to steer desperately from the banks but ended up using the oar to push us away. HAHAHAAHAH!



As well as trying to hit other boats...



Photobucket

OOOooooppppsss!!

Photobucket


HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

But despite all the trouble, I'm glad I tried out punting!! Its uber fun!! My arms ache like shit the next few days but its soooo fuuuunn~~~~~!


Photobucket
Me trying to avoid the bridge! I was distraught at first trying to figure out how to avoid the stupid bridge!


Photobucket



Photobucket
Spotted new ducklings nearby the canal..... Spring is in the air yo!



Photobucket



Photobucket
All of us pointing excitedly at something. But for some reason all four of us couldn't remember what after looking at this photo..... huh????!!

In the end, us girls got tired of boating, so we left all the punting to Mel in the end :P As encouragement, 3 girls chanted 'Handsome guy!" to Mel some parts of the way.





Play the video! Fuckin funny!

Doing the dr.evil look while waiting for the Group A




After all that strenous exercise, we headed over to Jamie Oliver's Kitchen for dinner. ZOMG. I've finally eaten at the kitchen of the famous Jamie Oliver!


Photobucket


Photobucket
Because of graduation night, we had to wait 1 hour and 30mins for our meal T_T



Photobucket

My man-accessory. Their the latest fad going around.

Photobucket
Why does Meng look so angry at the photographer?



Photobucket

Photobucket
Truffle pasta.Can you believe that those two black dots on the pasta is the truffle? Such a measely amount!! WTF!! Can hardly taste it, but the pasta itself was fantastic and buttery. It just melts wonderfully on your tongue.....*salivates*

My belated birthday outing (I)

Upon my request, everyone went to Oxford to re-celebrate my post-exam birthday!

Photobucket

Us waiting for the bus to the train station



Photobucket
Train ride down to Oxford



Photobucket
View from the train. Isn't it gorgeous?



This isn't my first time down to Oxford, but I've always enjoyed it nonetheless.......
Photobucket
So here we are posing back with the same few buildings :D

The building has a face on the blue roof! Can you see the 2 black eyes and the pointy nose and no mouth? I never noticed it until Sha pointed it out.



Photobucket

For some reason, I really do love this shot




Photobucket

It was graduation day in Oxford that day, so there was an extra massive crowd! Black square hats and long black robes were walking around everywhere. Sam & I were just talking about it and we feel people in Oxford have "posh & intelligent" faces. Either that or its all just psychological maybe?



It was one of those rare days in England where it was sweltering hot! At 21 celcius we were all dying from the heat. We stumbled across this store that was selling home-made ice cream which was gorgeousness.

Photobucket



Photobucket
EVIL SHA!!!!!!


Photobucket
Sha & partner, Meng. Isn't it romantic to see lovers eat ice cream together? GAY POWER 4ever babes!!



Splitting this post into 2 parts! Gonna update on part 2 veeeerrrryyy sooooonn...

Birthday pressies!

(P/s: sorry for not replying you guys on the chatterbox but for some reason its not working on my side! stupid flooble.)

Happyness!
- Isn't it always when you receive presents?

I'm so touched at the way my birthday was organised. I was surprised at the stroke of midnight the 12th May when Meng lamely asked me for a cup of water & I was suddenly whisked off into Sam's room.

And everyone was there waiting for me with candles and a cake (*cries*)
I really really did not expect a cake or anything at all coz everyone was in the midst of their final exams (we all had papers n the 11th and the 12th!). So I really was uber happy that the girls + guys did a small surprise for me. Touched me bleeding heart y'all. (Ok, I should stop acting black.)

*no photos coz their all in Tracy's camera for the time being and I look fugly so don't expect them to come up on blogger ever!*


After the mini-surprise I went back into my room and pulled back my duvet cover to see this:

Photobucket

Which makes me wonder whether I really am their friend. LOL!



Over the next few weeks I received pressies in different forms, some were over the mail:

Photobucket
A personalised card from Christina qouting some dumb blonde jokes I made. HAHAHAAHA! Uber cool!

And a uber uber cute card from JoJo all the way from Malaysia!! *HUGS HER TIGHTLY AND CARRIES JOJO ON MAH BACK!!*


Photobucket



Photobucket
She sent stickers inside! I've used them to pimp the back of my handphone. :P





I some pressies handed to me personally
Photobucket
A box of eaten chocolates from Meng & Sha. Long story, as soon as Sha gave me the chocolates I said 'Thank you!' and put them aside. 5 mins later he asked me whether I can open them now coz he feels like chocolates =____________=







Photobucket
This is my old bottle of perfume. See! only left thiiiisss much. Spray another 5 times and its a goner.


I was set on buying a new bottle that week. Fortunately I didn't! Coz on that day itself I got:

Photobucket
From Moeko and Warina! MWAH!! I love you girls!! We gave Moeko (whose birthday was on 11th may) a super cute cigarette case with frogs on it. Ok, it doesn't sound very nice but I will upload the pics soon :D


Photobucket
Damn chio perfume. And there's glitter inside that comes out too when you spray!


Photobucket
The latest DKNY apple from the girls! this is like the bestest ever perfume I've smelt and I absolutely adore it. Gonna use it tonight for going out :D



Photobucket

Cards from Moko+Warina




The boyfriend gave me an amazon voucher which I admitedly had difficulty deciding what to buy. I hate amazon's system when it comes to buying brands from different sellers. charge me individually for each brand delivery cost even though its all from amazon!! It doesn't make sense! I have to waste 6pounds on mere delivery.

Photobucket

A cami! I've always wanted one

Photobucket
Been lusting for a new pair of summer sandals for a while


Photobucket
Especially sunnies too.

With the leftover moolah I bought Asterix comic books + a novel.

Jamie gave me a real pretty dress from Ms.Selfridge just yesterday so I didn't manage to take any photos. Thanks babe *hugs*


I am loved *tears*
