The Days of a Silly and Ordinary Girl! :D

Hey, hey!

One of G-8 members, +Putra Jaya , will be having his 23rd birthday on the coming 29th July. And as our tradition goes, a surprise is a must!
Just a simple surprise, though, to wish the birthday guy an early birthday. We cooperated with his sister, went to his house, and woke him up from his afternoon nap, hurried him to blow the candles just so we could have a try of the cake. :p
The surprise was held on 26th July, on a Sunday, and it was raining very hard that our plan started to fall apart. Buuuut, gratefully, everything went well again after the rain stopped.
Putra is a very quick-witted person, so we actually didn't expect much for the surprise. I mean, we thought he would have sensed that we would come and surprise him. But, he said he was SURPRISED! It means, it worked guys!! The birthday surprised was a SUCCESS! Yoohoooo!
Truth to be told, we have had lots of birthday surprises passing by, and we just can't come out with better idea of surprises each time. We're lacking of ideas, right now. So we're really happy when it turned out well :D
Anyway, if any of you have any kind of cool birthday surprises idea, please do comment below! Thankyouu :) Will be so grateful for your input.:D

It might be a bit early, but...
Happee Birthday, Mr. Putra Jaya! :D
Wish you tons of luck, billions of prosperity, great health and a long-lasting happiness. :)

Hi, there! :D:D
I've told you to stay tune, and here I'm back with the sequel of the Eid Mubarak's hotpot and grill party that we had in G-8's basecamp!
We bought a lot of ingredients for the Eid Mubarak's Eve party, thought that we're all vacuum cleaner, and we would be able to finish all the food, and in fact, we're wrong. Unlike vacuum cleaner, our stomachs definitely have maximum limit :O We're humans, anyway. Err.. of course, yes, we're humans, what else would we be? Emm.. don't bother. Just talking to myself. Haha.

Actually, it's not that we bought too much, well, just because we need only one stick of corn, and they somehow sell it three per one pack, doesn't mean that we could tear off the pack, and take one out, and pay for the price of three, it doesn't work that way right? Although we only need one instead of three, we still had to buy those three. You get what I mean? We bought what we had to buy, and since they sell it that way, we ended up with a lot of extra ingredients.
The other way to explain it, is that all the ingredients are enough for around 8-10 people, and we're short of personnel, as we're missing out Karina and Wesley.

So, we kept the ingredients for 3 days, as the host of the basecamp went out of town for those three days, and we gathered up again to finish off all the remaining ingredients. Nom nom. And this time, with full members :p

We got some beef bacon, sausages, nuggets and a lot of vegetables left. We're lucky enough to have +Winda Chai and +Daniel Jiang to cook for us and they successfully turned them into scrumptious dishes: Hotpot Soup with Chicken Stock, and Cap Cay :dd

The rest of us, (read +Diana Liu , Karina, and me) were helping out in the prepping, while these three guys were busy taking selfies. Wkwkwk.
  


And, since we're all big-eaters, yes, all of us, (to G-8 members, if you're reading this, don't be shy, i know you are! haha) the food was all wiped out in about 15 minutes, far shorter than the time we took for prepping and taking pictures. See, what I mean, now? Haha

Happee Eid Mubarak to you who celebrate it! :)

I know it's really too late to wish anyone Happee Eid Mubarak, but the internet connection in my home for these few days has been super duper suck! It's been going on and off like crazy, on for several minutes, then off again for another several minutes. It's still going on like that right now, right when I'm writing this post, but I'm just gonna try my luck anyway.

By the way, how was your Eid Mubarak holiday?
Have you been visiting a lot of relatives?
Going abroad for vacation?
Or just stay at home doing nothing? Haha

Well, my friends and I spent our Eid Mubarak's Eve by having hotpot & grill party plus sleepover :d at G-8 Base Camp, a.k.a +Daniel Jiang 's home. We went grocery shopping in the afternoon, and started to prep for the dishes from 6-9 p.m. Yes, three hours only for prepping! *phew By 9 o'clock, we're all very starving and we started to have that "gluttonous" look over the food, like we can finish all the food at once. wkwkwk Just kidding, or maybe it's just me who has that kind of face looking at the food? *devilsmile

Soo, here are some snaps of us preparing the ingredients, the table setting and of course, our wefies.

Hello, how was your previous week?
Mine was soooo hectic. It's the first week of school and we need to make a lot of arrangements (that is changing endlessly - really hope it ends soon). At the end of working hour each day, we felt so exhausted. =.=

Well, although it was quite hectic but I'm glad that we still got our own Me-time once we got home. And, I was spending mine turning the pages of Sidney Sheldon's Morning, Noon and Night. To be honest, I mostly read romance novels, so I didn't expect much when I was reading this one. I was actually looking for some other books in the internet, and I came across a seller who sells the book that I wanted and also some second-hand imported books. Compared to buying the new imported books, which could be quite expensive, the price they charged for these old books are quite cheap. So, I was intrigued to buy (yes, first, it was because of the price! haha). Then, I tried to search about Sidney Sheldon in the internet and turns out, his books are best-seller around the world. Now, there goes my second reason. XD



As I said, I didn't expect much reading Sidney Sheldon's, as his books are mostly mystery and thriller theme. But, I was also feeling slightly fed up after reading too many romance novels these several months, so I thought I'd give it a try. :)

It turned out, really beyond my expectation. Sidney Sheldon got me charmed. Just like what the front cover promised us, "THE NEW PAGETURNING NO.1 BESTSELLER", I couldn't stop turning the pages till the end. It kept me wondering, "What's next? What's going to happen after this?". The ending of each chapter builds my curiosity over and over again and I just couldn't stop. I mostly read before I go to bed, and therefore, for these several nights, I slept late, and each night, I had to force myself to close the book and go to bed. If I were having holiday and I didn't have to go to work, I'm pretty sure I could finish the book in one day.

There are a lot of surprises awaiting us in every chapter, some that you might have thought of, some that mightn't have ever crossed your mind could happen. Sidney Sheldon's way of telling the story is really simple, yet exquisite. It somehow gives you a clear image of everything described in the book, a very vivid one indeed. The story itself carries a very deep meaning about life, trust and people. And I'm glad that I read this one in the original language, because sometimes the translated ones are not as clear and detailed.

After all, I really like and appreciate authors who can drag us, readers, to the world they created, make us feel as if we ourselves are in the story and make us stay for a long time there, simply with their words. They are just genius! And that's what I thought of Sidney Sheldon.

This book is really really really recommended by me. I just can't wait to read another masterpiece by Sidney Sheldon. XD

So, there goes my recommendation of the week. Hope you enjoy, and if you have any books, or movie to recommend, please do so! I'll be really happy to watch or read them :)

Thank you for reading,
and see you again,
:D
