A Month of Birthdays

October is a month of birthdays. Ever since children's day, I have been sending birthday smses and going out to celebrate friends' birthdays. As expected, this month is also where the hole in my wallet becomes the largest!

Last tuesday, I went to meet up with my usual study group to revise for our upcoming examinations. Before hitting the books, I went to the nearby cake shop with Ms A and bought a small slice of cake with a candle to surprise Ms B - her birthday is just a few days round the corner. I also picked up the tab for dinner and we had a nice chat during dinner despite the interruptions from some noisy diners! It's really pleasing to know that small actions like these can make someone really happy :)

Yesterday was another friend's birthday celebration. I met up with a friend to shop at Suntec for presents to give our birthday girl. After walking around, we finally settled at a shop and bought some cute stuffs. Guess what? That was exactly the same shop where the 2 of us bought presents to give to the same birthday girl! Such a coincidence...maybe next year at this time of the year, we may yet go to this shop again?

I also met a friend who was shopping with his mom (I think so). There was some distance between us but we managed to acknowledge each other's presence by waving. He then made a handsign that seemed to ask "Is the friend beside me my girlfriend?" I returned a handsign to say no, but I wonder if he managed to get what my handsign meant? lol

Caught the movie 'Max Payne'. Again same problem with 'Eagle Eye' - the first half of the movie looks good, but the second half turns out to be mediocre. Even though I have forgotten the storyline of Max Payne as a PC game, I can definitely confirm one fact - the movie is a far cry from the game.

It's almost that time of the year again! The exams are slowly approaching and I hope this will be the last round of exams for me to become an affiliate! Frankly I am getting pretty tired of the entire thing - the difficulty levels of the papers have far exceeded my initial expectations and I kept having regrets about quiting the BBM for this. If I have chosen to continue the BBM instead, most probably I would have lost much less braincells?
