My 22nd Birthday- Third and Final Part

First I would like to apologize for the lateness of this post. This is the third and final part of ‘My 22nd Birthday’ posts, and was the last day of my celebrating, as Saturday the 13th was my birthday.

Part Three:
Super Saturday:

On this day I woke up abnormally early for a weekend, as there was a lion dance performance and we all needed to get things ready. The uniforms needed a quick iron and equipment needed to be loaded into the cars. After this was done we all chilled out.

And yes, we played our new favourite game Yui-Gui-Oh! With the end score being 7 to me and 4 to Alan…Yaaay! I win!

The rest of the Yi Dao Troop turned up and my dad made everyone some yummy food and then it was off to do the Lion Dance performance for a wedding! =)

It was a beautiful venue, for a wedding.

Anyway after we finished we headed back to unload the equipment and change and then we headed to the park royal arcade, and arcades are always more fun with more people, as you verse each other, and mess around.

Then as we had a restaurant booking for 6 or 6:30 pm we headed off to a restaurant called, ‘Loving Hut’ in Edgeware.
Now I do not like saying bad things about places, I rather recommend places to go. But it was my birthday and this place sort of annoyed me a LOT!
Not only did food take ages to come out but the food was pretty greasy (The only thing I really liked was Bang-bang veggie chicken and the veggie fishcake) and according to the staff they had double-booked (The manger was not there, and later after a call was made told us in fact that they were not double-booked).
Now my mum and dad had to leave a bit early to drop off a car and said they were going to come back to eat because they were still hungry since they did no eat much due to the time it took for the food to come out, so the rest of us stayed to continue to eat as we chose the la-carte menu (The all you can eat menu).
Then the waiter comes to us and says we have to leave by 7:30 as they have another booking.
This is not only annoying because we are waiting for someone but, we are also paying over Β£120 and after telling them, they continuously come to the table to ask us to leave (Wish they had come to our table more often when we wanted to order food- At one point my mum had to go up and tell them what we wanted at the till. Normally the waiters would come to your table). All in all it was a shambles. We left, because we got fed up. For the price we paid we could have brought the same amount of dishes in a better restaurant for better service and better quality.

So if you want greasy vegan food that takes ages to come go to Loving Hut in Edgeware! But I do not plan on going there again! It was one of the things that upset me on my birthday!

On a brighter not after we left, the 6 of us went to ‘Baskin Robbins’ opposite for some yummy ice-cream! The guy let us try the various different flavours, and was very patient especially considering there were 6 of us. So we all brought some yummy ice-creams sat in the little ice-cream shop to eat, and we all talked and what not.

Then we eventually split ways and my mum & dad picked up me, my bro, sis, and Alan and we headed home. Where they got me a cake and sung Happy Birthday and the Rest of it!

My family and troop always know how to make me smile!
And if your feeling a bit down head to Baskin Robbins

My 22nd Birthday- Part Two

Ok if you have been following, you will know that I have split my birthday post into 3 post as it lasted for 3 days! πŸ˜€

Part 2!
Fab. Friend Friday!:

Friday, the first part of this day consisted of playing Yu-Gi-Oh, against Alan, with the cards we brought! And winning with my light-sworn deck! ^^
Sorting out my cute dwarf Hamster, Yuna (Yes, I like final Fantasy) and my cat, Linx, and making lion dance shoes. (if you do not know what lion dance is, look it up, it’s pretty coolio)

Oh and a super yummy breakfast made by Alan! He said it was a birthday breakfast, it was pancakes, with veggie bacon and maple syrup! Yummy!

It was probably about 5 when we left, and we went straight to the bubble tea store called, Block by China town! Its pretty much become one of my favorite bubbly tea stores, grabbed a cold Taiwanese bubble tea and walked around.
Then we headed into Cass Art Store which is just behind Leicester Square! And I sort of brought myself a present, I got 50 Faber-Castell colour pens for only Β£12.95! (Ok, I know I sound like one of those sales people, but for these pens that’s a bargain!) So I recommend arty people to go there, cause they got a ton of other discounts! πŸ˜€

Anyways after that we went to get some super yummy fat chips from Fish & Chips Co. in Leicester Square. And Alan still would not tell me what we were doing that evening… He’s pretty hard to crack >.<

As we still had time we watched a bboy performance, gave them some money, and then headed to HΓ€agen-Dazs to wait for someone (I did not know who) Then May and Server popped up! Surprise! A super good surprise! So the four of us went intoΒ HΓ€agen-Dazs to get some super yummy ice-cream!!! πŸ˜€ I also saw Joyce who came to say hi! ❀

So we ordered, 2 Fondue sets made for two people! A white chocolate one and milk chocolate one! I definitely recommend the White chocolate one, it was divine! We all agreed that the white chocolate one tasted better as it was thicker and creamer than the milk chocolate one.
With the Fondue sets, we got a selection of fruit, brownies, cookies and a selection of ice-cream! Yum yum!

There was a great atmosphere in the ice-cream house , and I loved spending the night with my amazing friends! ❀ After we were stuffed to the brim, we went for a walk around central and headed to the station πŸ˜€

We all reached home at roughly the same time.

Then it was Yu-Gui-Oh Time, and by the end of this amazing night I had beaten Alan 5-2

Third and Final part will be out tomorrow ❀

My 22nd Birthday!- Part One

I know I have not written anything in a while, and I am not going to blame it on writers block or being to busy. But I am sorry that I have not written anything in a while, especially to those who do read my posts! πŸ˜€
On a lighter note yesterday was my 22nd Birthday! And it lasted practically 3 days haha so from Thursday to Saturday I got to do fun stuff! Mainly due to a super awesome person (Alan), who organized things for me on Thursday and Friday. Then finally on my actual Birthday I spent it with family, and the troop! πŸ™‚
I will break these 3 days into 3 posts mainly because otherwise it may seem like too much to read haha =)

Part One below:
Wicked Theatre Thursday!:

It was a pretty chilled day until about probably 3:30 when we headed into London where Alan would not tell me anything the whole way there! Even though I bugged him sooo much… Pretty hard to crack πŸ˜‰Β  First we went to Forbidden Planet, to get two packs of starter Yu-Gi-Oh cards…(As we have decided to start playing Yu-Goi-Oh again! Haha

Then when we got to Victoria Station he said we were going to see WICKED in the theatre! (This is something I have always wanted to see!) So we picked up our tickets, walked around and grabbed a bite to eat before heading in.

Inside was pretty nice, it had a swanky bar upstairs and what reminded me of circus popcorn stand with drinks and what not downstairs. Oooo and there was a slushie stand which had Wicked cups…The sort you can take home! (Ok…I know I sound like a kid… But it was pretty coolio)

The performance, was brilliant and I would say it was a must see! There were twists in it and you got to see another side of the Wizard of Oz story! It even made me want to go back and watch the Wizard of Oz again as it gave me a new perspective on the whole story!

It was fun, and there were a few funny moments especially when it came to the white witch! As well as a few shocking moments!
I especially loved all the acro. and dancing in it! And of course there was singing!
In addition to this marvellous spectacle I was also treated with theatre ice-cream, which if you’ve been to the theatre you’ll know it’s about Β£3 somethingΒ for a little tub! >.< But it was seriously yummy! (Strawberry Flavour) After that we brought a Wicked souvenir and headed home! All in allΒ Woohoo go Wicked Witch! ❀
it was a fabulous night and a lot of fun! =D

Please forgive me…

Concept:

This girl (Miss A) fell for this guy (Mr. b), but they had to separate, as they lived in two different worlds. She promised she would wait for him, but they fell out one day and she swore at him, that was the beginning of their downfall…
Later she received a message from him telling her that he wasn’t the one for her.
She was very upset as he completely ignored any messages she sent him. Miss A continues to look for some sort of closure between the two of them, and wanders if he’s forgiven her and if they can ever be the close friends they once were…
Β 

For Mr.B

Its strange but I look back,

Every now and again,

Hoping to understand,

The events that transpired,

before and after you left…

 

Have you forgiven me,

So unsure…

 

Don’t know what to say,

to you,

But really want to speak to you…

 

Can we be friends?

Can I know,

Why you don’t, ever talk to me anymore…

 

If I hurt you,

I’m sincerely sorry,

from the bottom of my heart…

 

I hope that if you haven’t forgiven me yet,

That one day you will

I miss you…

 

Miss A

New Friends

I must apologize for not writing on this for so long, as I have been busy doing my driving theory and what not, Β so I hope this song will make up for it a littleΒ bit. Its written for someone who made me smile, and has become a good friend of mine recently.

Hope you like it πŸ™‚

 

When I first met you,

I thought you were kind of cool,

Wasn’t sure how to speak to you,

And IΒ was a little nervous too…

 

But when I finally spoke to you,

I found out you were cheeky and warm,

Making faces at me,

And joking around…

 

Although I haven’t known you for long,

It feels like its been a while…

 

My new friend,

I’m glad to have met you….

 

So whatever happens,

I’ll be there for you…

Be sure to be happy,

And laugh and smile like you make me do….

 

My new friend,

I’m glad to have met you….

 

I hope we’re friends forever and ever…

Peace out

Echo

This is something me and my sister Zoe(who’s 6) wrote last year, when we were travelling in the car πŸ™‚ She’s my little inspiration sometimes, and can be very funny and cheeky ❀ 

Hope you enjoy it πŸ™‚

My little sister Zoe
My little sister Zoe

Echo; echo; echo;

Follow the echo…

 

Hearing the echo from my heart,

In my mind,

Surrounding me,

Constantly…

 

Echo; echo; echo;

Follow the echo…

 

I’m walking forward…

Following blindly…

Hoping that it,

Will lead,

Somewhere that make me Happy…

 

Echo; echo; echo;

Follow the echo…

 

Is it possible,

That suddenly,

When I hear this echo,

Calling out to me.

That all my worries,

Pain & suffering,

Will diminish, into a….

 

Echo; echo, echo; echo; echo, echo; echo…

Follow the echo…

 

Dreaming freely,

This echo pulling me,

To a direction,

That I’ve never considered,

Or seen,

The I hear that…..

 

Echo; echo; echo;

Follow the echo…

 

It swipes me off my feet…

Into my dreams…

A place where…You FREE…Following that echoing…

Silent Attraction

Concept:

In this piece the girl has a silent attraction for someone but is scared to tell them, as she’s been hurt before. But she hopes one day he’ll notice
and maybe he’s the one who will breakthrough the guard she’s shielded herself in…
Hope you enjoy it πŸ™‚
Β 
Nine: This dog's story is very sad and makes you want to look after him forever. He was rescued by a wonderful lady and is now in good care. Dunno why but this piece reminded me of him, and what the sheild he surrounds himself in.

Hey can you be mine,

Don’t need no-one,

too extravagant…

 

I just want you,

Don’t ask me why,

Just know,

I want to be,

By your side….

 

I’ll be content and happy,

Just to know,

That your fine…

 

Everyday this silent attraction grows,

Don’t know,

When it started

But sooner or later…

It’s gonna be outta control….

 

My heart has turned into,

Wild horses,

Running through white sand beaches,

Churching up a storm-like atmosphere…

 

Oooo…

I wanna tell you,

So badly….

 

But like a pearl,

My hearts got a shell,

Around it….

To stop it breaking and hurting…

 

I hope that one day,

This shell will be gone,

And you’ll be the one,

Protecting it….
