Turning 20 in Canberra

24th June 2007 (Sun)
A brief entry before departing to Central Australia.

Two Ausmatians celebrated their birthday in Canberra today!

Lynda and myself. She came all the way from the west (Perth). Just reached here today and will stay for a week. Another Ausmatian is also celebrating her birthday not far away from Canberra. Haha..it was Nooi Hoay in Macquarie. Happy Birthday!! Haha..Had a nice conversation with you!

Lynda and her superman, Faris. Look how nice her cake is! Thanks to Erizianna, Puteri, Wahida, and Aina for the Nasi Ayam =)

The celebration was in Faris's unit.

As for my birthday, I was tricked to leave my room at about 3.30pm (thanks to Wei Min), giving my friends the opportunity to enter my room, lock and decorate it. In other words, I was locked out of my own room (thanks to Kai Xun). How cool is that? And in order to retrieve back my key I have to go treasure hunting and retrieve all the clues. I even have to run backwards (thanks to Jared) !!But it was fun and as a result of my effort, my room was unlocked and I was cordially invited to my own birthday party at 10.30pm tonight. I was amazed by the early-planning of this treasure hunt and how well it was carried out.

This was the decoration in Wei Min's room.

This was the decoration in my wardrobe.

Cutting the cake during my party in Ursula Hall. Thinking that there was nothing to be surprised about since it wasn't a surprise party, I was shocked to see so many Unilodge friends in the party (even Lynda was there). Didn't expect them to turn out as well especially since we've just celebrated Lynda's birthday in Unilodge. But it was nonetheless, very nice of them to walk all the way to Ursula.

My sincere appreciation to mastermind Kai Xun, the ones involved in the treasure hunt (Wei Min, Daryl, Jared, Jason), and the ones who turned up to the party.

Alright, gotta finish packing for my Central Australia trip (25th-6th July). Will see you all when I come back in 12 days time. Thanks for reading!
