« Charlotte's 16th »


Today was Charlotte's 16th birthday meal! (although her actual birthday is on Sunday?)

Charlotte Lau has 3 sisters!
She is the second youngest in her family!
Fifteen people turned up on the day! Kam, Vivian, Chris Li, Jason, Tim, Harriet (a Lau!), Jess (another Lau!), Emma (the final Lau!), Hassan, Ellis, Sami, Samuel and Alex! (that's 15 including me and Charlotte!)

I got Charlotte a Candy Floss maker!! Haha random, but it's pretty cool to have right? It's more of a girly thing to have; as tempting as it is to think I would sometimes find a use for it...I don't think I'd use it regularly enough to warrant owning it!

We were in Glamorous! It's a Chinese restaurant with the usual get up; lots of tables, rotating central table tops, usually lots of Chinese people. The most distinctive feature everyone remembers (initially, anyways, I can't guarantee everyone enjoyed the service or food!) is the changing lights!!! Anyone who's been there will immediately know what I mean...the ceiling lights have perpetual transitions from colour to colour. Not even subtle, in my opinion, sometimes, they do green to red. Then red to blue. Don't go if epileptic! Not been on the second floor in a long time..! It was fairly quiet. Jason got his ass burnt by Sweet soup =D Twice =D


Meal was good! Plenty of laughs! Got home fairly late though! Was fun seeing everyone off though!

Omdayz! Haha their was this table that was in the corner of the restaurant. EVERYONE on the table were blowing kisses in my direction and looking...more or less at, or around, me. I'm short sighted, so I thought one of the girls was a friend of mine! I called my friend JUST to check.......and the girl who I was looking at LOOKED as if she was trying to hide her phone from sight by putting her hand around her ear...so I thought I clocked onto her and stormed over. As soon as I did...she turned around...Woops! Immediately picked up the phone and walked back...*sigh* hahaha. Man I suck.

Happy 16th Charlotte!

« About time!!!! »

Brand: Norman
Model: B20
Top: Spruce
Sides: Cherry Wood
Price: £399

Yeah...about time I upgraded my guitar! The sound this produces is SO warm...

Got this baby on Saturday, after nearly a month of searching. It wasn't an exhaustive scouring, but it was somewhat worrying. I've been looking for a new guitar since NEEC, because I wanted to upgrade my sound (after much contemptuous advice over the current guitar I have!). I came across a Cort, which had a cool sound...but the design was a bit weird. Tried the Yamaha APX900 and it's downgraded version, APX500...but they all pale considerably in comparison to the Norman. I think one reason it felt so natural to play it, is because I used to borrow Tim Poon's Dad's guitar, which is also a Norman...Doesn't matter! I've got it!!

So, I was 19 on Sunday. How was it, you ask? I think I spent it the best way possible!
Played for Stephanie in worship, then saw the Charity Shield match between Man U and Chelsea (which wasn't bad, got to see a few good players), then went to a birthday meal with my cousins at Sappora. Haha, it's such a funny place. I recommend people to try it! I don't want to explain why. It was great fun, because I've never seen my cousins, who are all in their mid-20's, been embarrassed before. Thank you God that I had the opportunity to see that they're human!!! Got a camera from them and some clothes from various people! Thank you, Poon family and other friends, for the cake before I had the meal! You guys are so thoughtful!!

All in all, a good day!

But I'm 19! I don't have too many contemplative thoughts to summarize the year...I don't feel much different. However, on reflection, I think that's because I've scrawled them all on my blog! Thank you everyone, for taking time to read my thoughts and, sometimes, detrimental introspection!

Keep chasing Him.
