Bits and Pieces of the Year 2011 so far...

Believe it or not, August is here.

THUS, before the year comes to an end, I shall update and brighten up thy blog with some pictures. and just to make sure barashantashaka stays alive.

21st birthdays. Aplenty.
Being the rare breed of age 20 this year makes me feel kinda special in a way. Cheryl Lim kicked start the 21st party year with a rockingly awesome one with a lok lok truck and Just Heavenly's Red Velvet Cake to seal the deal. #Yum.
#Trip 1.
Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
So we bid goodbye to Kenneth at the LCCT. Smart adult forgot that his passport is expiring in less than 3 months. Borobodur was truly an amazing sight to behold!
The visit to places affected by the volcano eruption was pretty shocking. Sinking our feet into the bubbling hot volcanic 'river' was therapeutic :)
All the tourist-y things that we did made the trip a whole load more fun.heh.

#Familia.
The Koo's, The Ung's, The Siah's unite!
Nothing like a fabulous photoshoot during chinese new year. One for the album! :D
CNY got a lil sweeter this year with this kids around. Although I was their class teacher for only 2 months plus. That short span of time with them was amazing! Made me realize that my childhood ambition of being a teacher was not exactly a childhood ambition after all!

Teach for Malaysia.I'm coming for you.;)

February 6th then came, and the BFF Ming turned 21 :)
A simple celebration with great home-cooked food and fellowship. Followed by Mafia game. Not stating the obvious but I'm always the target. First to be killed by the Mafias. 
*surprised*
Always a loud festive when two or three Taman SEA-ians are gathered! \m/

It was time for another Spice Girls member to leave us for Down Under.
A Yinnadeh farewell dinner at the crib was held especially for Princess Tiara Dearest. Sarees really do bring out the beauty in a girl.luvit.
Though it was just a simple Tortilla curry chicken + Mushroom soup dinner. It was the homies that made it a fabulous night <3.
 
Mojo, KL.
It was the Queen's turn to celebrate the big 21 :)
Me and ziyan brought LOADS of helium joy to the place! It was a thrill passing through heavy traffic and cops.HEH.
Fossil watch and Royce Choc for the twins! x

The Home alone weeks were great. Parents went off to Paris and Switzerland for hols :)
Me and the Giant decorated Secret Recipe's super-duper-plain-and-yellow Macadamia cake for Briyani's 21st celeb.
It was much fun.The workers were pretty impressed! Way to go us! teehee.
Mexicano joy for the night.Laughing and making ourselves known throughout the whole restaurant is becoming a norm now.HAHAHAH.

First big project for the semester - 2nd Hand Book Sale ended with a bang!
It was draining.but nevertheless.FUN.

Sleepless night. Just somehow EVERYONE decided to perform that night. The band was pretty much complete.and LOUD.
