When almost everyone else was cuddling with their respective partners- us girls were laughing our heads off at our crazy jokes and building the excitement over the much awaited secret santa gift swapping session.

Yes, the Prada Cupcakes met again in Izzi’s ths time around on V-Day!

We decided to spice things up with Sec Santa too- was difficult shopping for something nice with a budget rule of more than 15 bucks and less than 20- but well enough everyone got really sweet, thoughtful gifts! I got a pair of cherry printed boxers from elda - just the right length and size (veryy comfy)plus a card as well-good enuf to be a wedding invite hihi…thank u so much babe..muax! (eh u got the inspirasi from my cherries on the benh pic is it …haha).

Our  pizza arrived late- you should’ve seen us ladies fussing over those complex carbohydrates- but we were well compensated. We could tell that our waiter felt bad- a few minutes later i saw him carrying 5 beautiful scoops of ice cream in ice cream bowls and I immediately guessed that it was for us and I was right so thoughtful of the guy- ya la must k since we waited for an hour for the pizza!

Wan couldn’t make it..boohoo:( We have to do something with her boss- she’s working round the clock- haih! s’ok babe- you’ll surely get one fat bonus. So poor Aspa didnt get her Santa gift cos by weird coincidence, Aspa was wan’s sec santa and wan was hers..haha.

After dinner we walked down our memory lane..the famous Bintang Walk where we used to walk in our uniforms, our school the lovely BBGS was right in front of Star Hill, for ths of you who dont know (shame on you hihi). It was fun, cos we used to walk while giggling and laughing, and that nite we still did just much louder ;p.

We headed to Lecka Lecka for some latte, Fantastico and other liquid treats. So ramai orang-ya la V-Day,love was in the air-with some couples stenching the air with their over PDA and some couples who looked so sweet like a match made in heaven.

Just before we headed home, we went to the ladies in Star Hill and I had wanted a heart-shaped balloon the whole night- but didnt get one plus Aspa had ballonaphobia-kesian nanti my gurlfren, but i culdnt resist it when Zuien found a lost ballon in Star Hill and grabbed it- I just couldnt say no. Aspa had to walk jauh from me- sorry babe :p

But at the end of the night, while waiting fr the jockey to get us our cars- we all held on to that one small balloon, made especially for that one special day- and decided to make our wishes and so we did. Just as that moment passed- we let it go, floating into the air-as if it was sending a wish-mail to God (hope our wishes are granted). It was a Hallmark moment for all of us, and it’s something i’ll treasure always.

That night reminded me of how we should be thankful for what we have.

Just celebrate the love u had

the love you lost

gave up but 

most importantly the love you have and will always have.

We were an hour late both NIgs and I. Thank God we were meeting up with the lovely ladies in Hartamas-5 minutes from where we work. i was absolutely nervous + excited to meet up with my BBGS mates yang I have not met for 10 years, yes 10!

When I met them..the first thing that struck me was how much I missed them all..and their faces..well..it has to be the BBGS magic, they’ve not aged and all of them look so youthful and each had such style..aahh yes can always count on a BBGSian to look good..right girls :p

There were so many things to catch up on, I’ve not heard anyone mention Maclay or Green House in a while..hidup Shirtliffe for me!(BBGS talk), choral speaking (Matilda should’ve won!) then of course the who’s who talk. Aspa will be a wi-fe soon. Elda’s car got hijacked and she’s a full flung interior designer now-nice. Ms Wan-such transformation..so full bloom now but her humor,lawak and energy still the same, Zuien will be like a Prada cupcake..if they decided to sell them…wait actually all of them/us are like Prada cupcakes…yes memuji diri sendiri..haha. Fasha used to work with KRU..and I didnt know that..and Elda in Nona…haih i’ve been missing sooo much!

We’re meeting up again soon and I’m looking forward to it. Ten years is a lot to make up for. These peeps were around me during those years that was so care-free and we cared about St John Boys! *wink*

We’ve all matured but one thing remains the same, friends will always have that zesty energy between them, and even though they’ve not met for long..it only takes the smile at first sight to bring us back to those lovely days and feel that bear warmth all around

To many more years ladies!

Happy Belated Birthday Bob Marley.

These days listening to his songs reminds me of the Reggae Club in Langkawi,its just a small hut by the beach, open air sitting for the guests :p (the part i like best) and of course the absolutely hebat band.

I can still recall the feeling of my feet on the sand,the waves hitting shore right behind us and sitting down listening to the guy with the extremely long dreadlocks serenading us with Get up Stand Up,Is this Love, Black Magic Woman,911, Creep.Siap with our pineapple juices and grilled sotong haha-good times!

Have to go there soon.

Kuc I miss singing along to the Redemption song while in the car with you…"oo pirates yes they rob I.." We’ll belch that out the next time ya.

Spread the love people.

The perfect gift  for that perfect someone from Carnaby Street.
