important notice...
to say that i have neglected my blogging duties would probably be the biggest understatement of the new year. and to blame it on my new semester workload - despite its tribulations - would be nothing short of a lie. for the real reason behind my lack of attentiveness would simply be...
that i could not have been bothered ;)
as most of you would have guessed, i am now already back in melbourne and have successfully commenced my second year of study at Deakin University. this piece of news may come as a shock to some... but i shall leave that for the REALLY long post that is planned to follow.
this entry has a specific and concise task:
1. to inform my fellow blog-readers that
i do indeed still have a pulse and will be resuming my online-blabber habit as soon as time permits.
and...
2. to provide a merciless teaser of the
dramas to which my life has been exposed to in the recent months (dum dum dum!).
but what kind of story-teller would i be if i didn't reward my loyal readers for their patience? ;) so - as i always do after a long absence - i've added up a whole bunch of pictures which were taken while i was 'away' :D
here are some from jacqueline sim's 19th birthday, on march 21st 2008 :D
[smurfs in the freezing cold ;)]
[the kidnap victim... muahahah!]
for those of you who know the little singaporean genius, you would be no stranger to the outright protests when it comes to anything birthday related. this year - as it has been since i met her in 2006 - was no exception! lucky for her... she keeps the company of a highly sadistic... and highly imaginative bunch of people :D so kevin, mark, ai-lynn, sam, sarah (a very welcomed addition to this year's party planning) and i decided to poke fun at jacqueline's frustrations of 'turning old' by throwing her the party she never expected.
because on the morning of march 21st, at the carlton garden's playground... jacqueline was given a NINTH birthday party :D
[attempting to light the candles amidst the wind...]
[embracing their inner toddlers ;)]
since joel and jack were at ocf camp for the weekend, a second party was thrown in jacqueline's honour on the following tuesday. this time, the boys decided to give her the complete opposite of her friday morning experience ;)
[note: not to worry... it's only orange juice in my cup ;)]
i know it's taken forever for these pictures to make it online... but i hope you had a great birthday regardless, jacq-jacq ;) as for everyone else, have a great week ahead and - not to sound too much like a cheesy weather forecast - stay tuned for the drama to follow! hug hug :D
