over the weekend

WARNING: this is gonna be a long post.

first of all, it's been a while since i updated, partly due to project elevate and my sudden (and i mean sudden, like in one afternoon.) bout of sickness over the weekend. still kinda cranky coz my cough AND headache wont go away. which is so annoying.

now, to summarise last week.

birthday was cool, in fact the best since a long long time. many thanks to those who have made it special, and took the time to spend the day (and night) with me. and thanks so much for the birthday presents as well. i must say it's been really pink this year -



perfume from weiling, debbie, kaster, nigel, matthew, quek, ray, bernard, kenneth, joy, ziyou, hanwei (i hope i din miss out anyone)



and mr pink octopus.


got sick on friday with a very very fast acting sore throat. was talking in the morning and i lost my voice by 3pm. mr tham was happily saying that my voice was becoming more and more sexy. -.- seriously, try being in my shoes.

went over to debbie's chalet for a while and looked longingly at the cake i can't eat. then went home to zzz.

woke up on sat with a fever. which was bad coz it was project elevate night and there were things i have yet to do. ended up lying on my bed till like 3 and forced myself up and went for the event anyway. thank goodness paracetemol works, else i would have concussed somewhere around 5 plus.


project elevate went really well, though there were hiccups here and there as expected. it was like, the moment dinner started, everything just fell in place. think the guests really really enjoyed the evening, though it was kinda draggy at some points. funnest part was the guestbook, coz we switched to powerpoint's pen function instead of the usual clicker in the slide show and got the guests to sign on a tablet instead of a usual guest book. and we had people asking whether we wrote the app by ourself :p even chewy was like hmmm.. i dunno. turbo c?

so ya shall upload the pictures of the gifts soon, but here's a photo of my table:



clockwise : yizhe, me, cindy, russell, joseph and chunsiong


spent the whole of sunday asleep or at least, trying to fall asleep when your brother is demonstrating the effects of gravity to you.

yest was spent constructing the 3 555 timer circuit and designing the value of the resistors. happy coz i managed to do it despite being half groggy.

still trying to recover from the sickness though. hope my head will stop being heavy soon. ><
