Birthday~~
ugh... I feel so old...
my birthday was on the 28th and... I'm no longer a teenager @____@
maybe that's a good thing, but I'll be stuttering for the next while when ppl ask me how old i am
My birthday started with rushing to finish my FNH assignment to submit online, so I was up until 6am
lol, when I checked my phone before sleeping, I realized that my friend texted me 6 hours earlier but I forgot to check my phone
I had to wake up to take the bus at 9:50 for my piano lesson at 10, and I actually slept through all my alarms but woke up to my cell phone ringing
my mom phoned me to see if I was up yet (... which I was definitely not..) and told me it was already 9:40
so I jumped out of bed, ran to the washroom and got dressed, grabbed my bag, sprinted to the bus stop and caught the bus... then realized that I hadn't even brushed my hair or anything...
after my lesson, I went to Dressew to buy some cosplay materials and headed to school for my 3 hour chem lab +___+
For dinner, my family went to Carmello's for Italian food in West Vancouver
we had the antipasti plate, mussels, salmon linguine, clam linguine, and pesto linguine... and my family told me to order a drink so I had a nice glass of cabernet shiraz~
by the end of dinner I was so sleepy from being full, the wine, and lack of sleep for the past 2 days
when we got home, I wanted to drop dead but there was still cake~~
I made a chocolate brownie and strawberry ice cream cake
lol, when I told my mom that I wanted to bake my own cake for my bday, she was like "... that's so sad =____= "
and before we had cake, the doorbell rang and it was my aunt and cousin XD
omg, and they bought a cake for me too @____@
it had a dense chocolate orange mouse on hazelnut cake and a layer of raspberries inside... so yummy *____*
ohohohoho~ and my presents were so awesome XD
my sis bought me a giant tea pot with a built in strainer (cuz I only drink loose leaf teas now) and a Webkinz stuffed animal
it's the orange and white alley cat, but I still need to register it online so I can play with it (... it's ironic that I got this for my 20th birthday...)
and my cousin got me a really cute make up set~~
and the best present.... a brand new sewing machine from my parents~!!!
it's a Husqvarna Platinum 715 Royal Edition
made in Sweden and it's computerized *drools*
I think it's originally $1500 but it was on sale for $1200
before buying it, my mom was asking me if I'd want a sewing machine or a cello for my birthday
my dad thought I'd want a cello since I'm planning on learning it after I'm done with my piano exam, but I was already planning on selling my drum set for that XD
I really need to start learning all the new functions of this sewing machine cuz I need to start sewing my costumes for SakuraCon really soon >___<
from now on, I'll be referring to it as my 2nd husband (lol, my 1st husband is my grand piano~)
this is the cake that my aunt got for me... so pretty~~~ it looks small in this pic, but it was really huge... maybe about 10 x 10 inches (lol, for those who don't know... yes, my name is Stephanie XD)
and here's my cake~ it looks like a cheesecake, but it has 3 layers of brownie with strawberry ice cream sandwiched between and covering it. If ever make it again, I think I'd put in a strawberry puree layer too...
present from my sister~~ the Webkinz kitty is kinda cool cuz it looks like the cat on the mug that her bf gave to me a few months ago. She didn't even realize it until I told her though...
from my cousin~ it's so adorable!! And there's a mirror and trays of make up inside
And here is my 2nd husband~~~ I look forward to the day random people compliment on something I'm wearing, and I can smile and answer, "Thanks! My 2nd husband made it for me!" just to screw around with their heads XD It'll be fun cuz ppl still ask me what grade I'm in and are surprised when I say I'm already in 2nd year university~
after my aunt and cousin left, I baked some mini brownie cupcakes to bring to school for my friends since I didn't have time to bring something on my bday
I was planning on baking a cake, but decided not to cuz it'd be annoying to carry around with me at school
XD I somehow caught Sally as she passed by the sub to catch the bus so I gave her some brownies and she said she'll buy me ice cream after we're done our finals
I got some more things from my friend and my sister's bf, but I'm too tired to take pics right now
fufufu~ and Amanada said that her present for me still hasn't arrived in the mail yet, but I'm excited to see what it is~~~
so all in all, even though I'm old and whatever, I had a really great birthday this year XD
