| Mr Michael Saxon. I know most of you wouldn't know who he is but I do because I have watched AFC's Next Celebrity Chef on Astro several times. I don't follow the show but once in a while when I switch on the TV and it's on (and the Kardashians are not showing), I'll watch AFC. Chef Michael is one of the judges on the show. He's the nice judge. Chef Bruce is the Simon Cowell.
So, for me it was an honour to personally meet Chef Michael - even though it was meeting him as Mr Saxon. He's a very kind and friendly gentleman. Thanks to all my loved ones for the support. You know who you all are. <3

| So I thought I'd write about my little belated birthday 'surprise' attempted by my close friends just so that if I one day get amnesia or something (touchwood; playmorebraingames), there would be something that could probably help convince me that this actually happened.
It was a splendid long weekend in KL last month. I did some surveying and shopping for a whole day with Melia, Crawford, and Davin and it was evening very quickly. We went back to Melia's place to sort out some clothes and then left to D's place cos his mom had cooked dinner for us. Leaving Melia's house, I naturally said "Bye. I'll see you soon. Maybe tomorrow before I leave la k." And Crawford kept saying to me "Bye. See you later..... *pause* ....or something." I thought he was trying to annoy me and left it as that cos I was pretty tired already. As we entered D's house, his family and cousins were there so there was a lot of Hellos going around the room when D's dad asked where everyone else is. I assumed he was talking about Amelia and Crawford cos I'm not surprised he knows we were out together. I think D replied telling him they are back home or something like that, I don't know. I was still finishing up my Hi to everyone.
It was already past normal dinner hour so everyone had eaten except for us. And boy was there a lot of food left. So, alright. Vin and I sat down to eat. There was ham choi tong, my fave! And there was even spaghetti besides the other chinese dishes. D then phoned someone and asked if they would like to come over to join us as there was a lot of food. I believed it was Amelia he called but I was simply too hungry and busy with my food to even ask about the call. At this point, I didn't suspect anything. I just thought of it as one of those days where you cook too much or everyone is pretty full. Anyway, D and I were ate quite a bit and I filled my stomach with a huge helping of the soup.
After we ate, we just chilled around the house. I was in the dining area when I heard Melia's voice at the door and in my head it rang, "Ah! She did come!" As I walked out to see her, I was pretty surprised to see follow behind was not only Crawford but also Max, Karyn, Wye Han, Natalie and later Thompson. Now what I thought was "Oh. He must have called all of them and not only Amelia. Why he no tell meee... =[ ? Who cares. They are all here now." And they all were carrying loads of food and one of them had cake. First thing that came to mind when I saw the cake was "Yay! End of sem cake!" because Melia and I have been talking about it for weeks on end. It was a little tradition we had during UTAR days. And since everyone was busy talking to I don't know who (come to think of it, why wasn't anyone talking to me?) while heading to the kitchen, I just followed suit. And then I asked Mx, "Why did you all bring so much food? Didn't Davin ask to come and eat the food here?" Mx replied saying that they all very pai seh and so bring some food lo. When I asked Davin how come he didn't tell me they were coming over because we could have waited to eat together and stuff, he distracted me with some other information. When we all settled around the dining table and began to eat, Melia told me that this was a planned surprise belated birthday dinner for me. But it didn't work because D's dad had "burst the bubble" when he asked where everyone was. Lol! I only thought "everyone" meant Amelia and Crawford. They still could have sorta surprised me but they all streamed in with this slight disappointment and awkwardness which just left me puzzled rather than happy and surprised. Hahaha!
Anyhow, big AWWWWWwww.... you guys tried to surprise me! Thanks for the kind thoughts and effort put in. And of course the flood of food!! You tried to surprise the master of surprises. Lol. I <3 you all!!!
Reminds me of how D tried to surprise me with flowers at one of my busiest working moments. Sweet AWWWWwww for him too.

Pure beginners luck the very first two times.

| Since my spell of migraines about two years ago, I've always needed 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to last through a whole day without any sharp piercing surprises in my head, unlike my 23 years before that. I still remember the final week of preparation for the drama production in uni.. 3-4 hours of sleep a night would be enough for me to sprint from one block to another for rehearsals, meetings and admin work in between lectures and tutorials. Lately, yes, I've been clocking at least 7 hours of sleep every night, sometimes even more than 8 hours. But I've also been dreaming a lot in my sleep. Sometimes I wonder whether I sleep too much and my brain just needs to start working on something. I recall the time Esther Wong and I agreed that we sleep because we NEED to, not because we want to. I don't know how to explain that concept, really. Some people just love sleeping. I, however, am one of those who only enjoys the occasional sleep ins.
My dreams are often all over the place and there is definitely a lot of action going on. I am always tired out when I wake up. The dreams normally involve me running - being chased by someone or something or vice versa, trying to catch up with time, or just.. Idk. Just running. And there are usually several very unrelated locations in my dream(s). I can be living in the sea in one scene and then exit to what appears to be 'my bedroom' in a house I don't recognize at all. If I told Amelia this, she'd probably send me another website deciphering my dreams. I guess to a certain extent, these explanations of dreams in general could have some truth to it in a psychological point of view. Or it could also mean that I'm very creative? Hahah
Time to sleep now. Just trying to see whether speaking about dreaming would stop my dreaming.
Oh ya. Check this out !! >>> Love & Things It's a little venture I'm working on with a friend for a some fun. Please support!
