This Is Our Day

Who approaches the Bridge of Death
Must answer me
These questions three!
Ere the other side he see...

When Is Your Birthday?
Generally celebrated on the third weekend en Janvier.

How Old Are You Now?
Just over mid-twenties.

Where Were You Born?
Klang. The only Klangborn of the family.

When Did You First Celebrate Your Birthday?
Like we can remember? We remembers one sometime while in primary school, having friends over in the afternoon with cake, food and all with the Super Mario Bros 3 as entertainment. We think we threw up on that party too, for reasons unknown.

When Will Your Next Birthday Be?
On our next birthday lor. Next year. Oh gawds another year's coming to a close.

Do You Remember Getting Birthday Presents On Your Birthday?
We do! From our younger years which saw us getting 'An American Tail' from mum; 'How To Win At Nintendo Games 3' book from dad; to a Sony Network Walkman NW-MS9 from sis during our early years in uni; the PS2, the Sonic Gear iPod speakers and the Unseen University Cut-Out Book from the guys and gals here.

What Are The Three Things You Want For Your Upcoming Birthday?
Bleargh we never really liked being asked this question - we never have a ready answer. :D If we'd a list of things that we may want it would either be affordable enough for us to buy it ourselves during one of our impulse buys, or out of everyone's (including ours) decent budget range.

But since the meme calls for three things, we might as well put the unattainable. This way we know no one will show up with it, heh.

HP Pavilion tx1215AU Entertainment Notebook

Well yes the specifications may be a bit outdated (don't they always, and so fast?) but the thing about this lappie is that it's capable of turning into a tablet. Touch screen! That's an in-built WACOM tablet then! Friend ymlau did point out that the screen's only 12.1", which is...yes, well, a tad small. Oh! Yet another plus point is that it's not so heavy, weighing some 2kgs (frail us cannot carry heavy stuff without tiring out soon).

A Volkswagon Golf GT Sport

Because it's cute. We remembers talking to Lemon once, and he asked what kinda car we like. We told him a Citroën, we thinks it was the C4 Picasso. He asked us why and we said, "Because it had a LED dashboard rather than dials for the speedometer/odometer". Then we both had a good laugh at our buta kereta-ness. Well we should be thinking of a new car anyways.

Our own house in TTDI
Yes well at the risk of staying near the parents, though. We loves TTDI. Shall not pass mum the key because we will not be able to stand her cleaning up our house as well. It's one thing for her to currently bug us regarding the state of messiness in our room, but totally another if it was our very own birthday-given (yeah we can dream) house.

What Kind Of Presents Do You Want For Your Birthday?
What's the point of this question when you have the above question you tell us?
We're a minor gadget whore, but only when it grabs our attention.
We're a bibiophile/lexicovore, but we've scarce space to store much books.
We're a soundaholic, but only when we find it catchy.
We're an avid gamer, but only for certain stuff that gets us all excited.
Erm. We're just afraid of getting bored lah.

Who Would You Like To Celebrate Your Birthday With?
Let's see. During our year in Glasgow, ymlau and everyone else refused to let us lock ourselves in our room and because all enfants du Janvier were celebrating together in JBC.
Then, lad tells us to be antisocial some other time than when we're supposed to celebrate our birthday.
Seems like we're not allowed to do this (we're not making fun of that ya please don't get offended!).
Then again, why should we? We want to celebrate with all of you!

How Do You Want To Celebrate Your Birthday?
Hmmm. There's definitely the meat dinner, goes without saying. When else will all the pictures be taken (thanks ya otousan and DSLR camera owners :P)? But for something different, here's our suggestion for a celebration - nighttime pool party! Alcohol, music, alcohol, finger food, beach balls, alcohol, floats! A night of hedonism!!! If no pool (especially since nearly all apartment/hotel pools close at 10pm) then how about a beach party!? Not a camping trip one mind you. Must have chalets/cabins, since alcohol will be involved hangover recovery period must be as comfortable as possible ya?

Heck, that was ten questions! Can we cross now?

OK! Now, this meme has pretty much gotten around and age is always a sensitive issue, so whoever who is facing blogger's block or something or wants to do this, feel free!

Yay... no more tagging by Jan at last... good for you!!! Others, please follow Jan's footstep, ok? Ermmm... as for an invitation for your fellow bloggers to write another meme, no thanks... well, you know people can always get fed up with memes... maybe we can think of something better to write, eh?

Sorry, don't think I can afford to buy you a car, not even if I had started saving last year. :D

If no pool, we could do sauna party, hee. :P

David The Man: Er, we were actually planning for Meme Week, like Magic:The Gathering's website does, actually but we ran out of memes. As for not tagging, well everyone's already done this and we don't think the girls would wanna tell ages, see.

Hrugaar: We did say unattainables, Ru. :P

Cyclohelix: It's lovely, isn't it? Sigh. Just gotta save up slowly then.

Jason: It's omnivore, not carnivore.

Savante: And we're leaving it behind us too! Ah well young at heart, always.

William: It's somehow always there, isn't it? :D Social lubricant mah.

Joshua: Whoa. We were wearing our lipstick mask or not?

Sam said...

Certainly your day. Not very long now. :P

(unless I win a home in TTDI from a contest - I don't think I can give you a home just yet =P)

The first one isn't so unattainable. ;P
