last weekend being 19

Pre-Bday

My last weekend being 19 (I could say last weekend being a teenager but in Sher Mayne's World, I am still a teen ... TwenTEEN :P)


Friday
As bro will be leaving for LA for his MCC on Sunday, hence we celebrated my birthday earlier. I get to pick the place. Didn't want Jap which we always go to for birthdays. So I decided ... La Mama Cafe it is. Haven't been there but I always pass it during my runs. It is located along Eastern Beach, just 5 mins drive from my place. The view ... beautiful. Just beautiful. That's why I love running along the beach :p

For starters...

some salad thingy with prawns and pasta

thai salad with beef and satay sauce and crispy noodles

I .... ate the salad. Not only the beef and the prawns but also the greens. It was rather tastey I must say. Must be the sauce. Must be! Teehee :p

For the mains ....

Dad's seafood platter...

Bro's Spanish Tapas with king prawns ...

My pork dish with creamy sauce, mashed potatoes and carrots...

Mum had a rack of lamb. We ordered it after we got the above three meals because we realized we won't have enough. So ermm.... it came after we finished our meals and ermm... yea... i forgotten to take a photo of it coz.... it was just so tempting and irresistable....

Enjoyed the meal very very much. Love it. Though the serving looked small, we were pretty much bloated after it. Heeheee... I think it's coz of the sauce :p

After dinner, mum and dad walked home, bro and I headed to city to pick Siew Aun up who came up for the weekend from Tokoroa for my birthday! He who purposely took leave for Monday and Tuesday just to stay for my birthday. Aren't I just lucky? Hehehe :p

Reached home and we had cake. Tiramisu cake. Not that tasty I must say. Not that nice. So yeaaa.. that's how my 20th bday celebration with my family was.


Saturday
Got a text from Darren saying the pot luck was cancelled as Mag's grandma passed away. My condolences to Mag and family. May she rest in peace :)

Bro left pretty early for MCC training hence I had to entertain siewaun for the day. Was meant to go kayakking on Monday but weather forecast for Monday was bad hence we decided to go on Saturday. After a late breakfast, it was off to Okahu Bay. We got a single sea kayak each for half day. Kayakked all the way till the end of St. Heliers and back. Record yo!! I remembered the furthest I ever went was up till the end of Mission Bay.

We returned the kayaks one hour earlier and to our surprise. they gave us a $5 refund each!!! Score!!!!! Didn't even know there's such thing. But hey! No complaints... no complaints at all!!

Went to food alley after that coz we were starving. Didn't have lunch and it was 3 something. After "lunch", it was to Audrey's place for fishing!!! We reached at 5 but fishing was at 7.30. I took a rather long nap with Audrey whilst siew aun and bronson were dota-ing. If you're still wondering how my swimming friend know audrey and bronson... a rather simple answer : Dota. lol!

Came 7.30, we da bao-ed (take away) food from KL cafe and headed to the fishing place. Night fishing yo!! So excited. Never gone fishing in my life!!! The place was located out west. A wee bit pass Waitakere ranges. When we reached the wharf, us malaysians started taking out our laksa and char kuey teow and EAT. Insted of feeding the fishes, we were feeding ourselves first. Bronson's mum started fishing first whilst we were eating in the dark.

The place was beautiful with its cool breeze. If it was during the day, I would so just jump in and swim. The sky that night was clear filled with so many stars. They looked rather low and it seemed as if you can reach your hands up and touch the stars.

Ok ok.. back to the fishes. We were there till past midnight. Audrey caught a rather big fish but the line snapped. So not counted. I caught.... someone's broken line/jumk. Bronson's mum caught many many many many EELS! And no, they do not look like UNAGI! They looked like super huge humongous earthworms!! So geli!!! Think she caught one or two baby fishes also. Bronson caught an eel as well which was right in front of siew aun's face when he reeled it in. So by the end of everything, I have second thoughts on jumping in and swim. Eeewwww!! Eels make. Like some water snake only.. EEeeEEeeEE!!!

By the time I got home, it was 1 something, close to two. Siewaun dropped dead in bed without showering. Yuckss!!! I showered and slept around 2 something.

A huge thanks to audrey and bronson for inviting us to fishing!!! Though I did not catch any, I SOOO want to go again!!!! I wanna catch a fish!!!!

Sunday

Morning, woke up. Weather was rather crappy. Texted shaun and he said no matter what, we'll still be playing netball. So many people pulled out. Only the strong men and women survived and was still up for netball. Haha!! It's been two weeks since the last netball hence I really wanted to play.

Got there and the court was wet and slippery. But, we still played on. Only 8 of us - me, siewaun, shaun, sharvin, dallas, boon, gjin, audrey. Nevertheless, we still had heaps of fun playing half court. Lolx!!

At the end of the game.... finally I realized why shaun said no matter what, netball will still be on. And I also realized why sharvin surprisingly was still up for netball despite the weather.

The video tells everything ....

The culprits: Sharvin, Shaun, Dallas, Gjin, Swannie all the way back in msia, Nat who was still sleepy on that morning n didn't come, wei en, sheng, henry, roger who knew it was gna happen but didn't tell me!

The victim: Me la....

The ingredients: strawberry milk, soy milk, coke, mango tea, eggs, water .... Feathers ... Flour

Verdict: I got owned and a taste of my own medicine!!!

Thanks guys. Thank you very much. I was indeed drenched with that sweet smelling mixture which stinked so bad after that. Thank goodness I pass on going to Mission bay after netball. Those evil monkeys wanted to throw me in the sea!!!! Basketttt...not enough is it?? Wanted to wrap my car with toilet paper also.. Wahlau!!! And thanks to nature, I wore my not so good shoes that day. It stinks so bad man!! Shirt and shorts were fine. Came home, showered and put heaps of shower gel on the shirt before putting it into the washing machine. It smells good now :p

After netball, siewaun followed audrey for more fishing. Must be tak puas from the night before. Haha!! I went home, had lunch and then it was sending my bro off to the airport. Came home, took a nap after that.

At night, went to city for a short hulu cat session with darren, audrey, bronson and siewaun. Thanks darren for shouting me bubble tea! But don't think you can get away with the bet ya!! Still waiting for my chocolate boutique treat. Nyehehehehehehe :p

So there you go. My last weekend being 19. It was rather eventful I must say. Way more than I expected it to be. Thanks to all of you who were there to make it so memorable. Definitely will remember my last weekend being 19.
