My Birthday!

Today's post is about..

My Birthday!! Well, frankly speaking, it was the most boring birthday in the 17 years of my life-.- .. Because I was sick!! I couldn't go out with my friends.. although some of them asked me to go out to celebrate my birthday, I had to turn them down. So I had to stay at home the whole day! With nothing to do, I watched 'Secret', which was directed by Jay Chou.
I went for Mr. K's tuition at night.. that's where I really gotta thank my friends for cheering me up. They decided to celebrate my birthday with me at the tuition centre :D One of them, Yee Kheng, even brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday. I shook the bottle up and I wanted to aim the cork at Yee Kheng's car xD But I was afraid he was gonna kill me so I aimed it at the field instead. :P It was my first time opening a champagne bottle.. Thanks man! And this is the t-shirt Daniel gave me as my birthday present.. I gotta thank him too. :)And of course, with every birthday boy, there's always a birthday Rumble!! Alright, now is the time to introduce the culture/tradition of St. Michael's which has been passed on from generation to generation. To every birthday guy in St. Michael's, it is compulsory to be birthday rumbled. It starts with a bunch of your friends surrounding the birthday guy in a circle where they hold him tight so he can't get away. Then, they start to sing the birthday song.. at by the end of it, they will all hit the poor guy with their hands/slippers?/anything as hard as they can!! And by the end of the ordeal, the birthday guy will suffer huge amounts of pain and might even have an injury(Okay, I'm just exaggerating on that injury part). Well, if you really do get an injury, sorry lah, no money pay medical bills for you. Or they could say, 'Hospital Fatimah very close only, you can crawl/limp there.' xD
Notice the guy in the middle getting whacked up? Yep, that's me. I got rumbled a grand total of 7 times, including the preliminary rumbles in November and the warm-up rumble before tuition started.. It was considered a very mild rumble, because there were not many people there.. if my birthday was celebrated before the holidays in school, it could be a disaster!! My friend who celebrated his birthday in school got rumbled till his hand shook so much it was difficult for him to even cut the birthday cake!
This is another guy who got rumbled along with me for no apparent reason.. When they get into a rumbling mood, it's kinda hard to stop them from rumbling anybody they want. xD
Alright that's all from me today, ciao!
