Early this year, when le boyfie told me his thoughts of a Playboy Party for his birthday, I thought he was joking.

But it turned out that we *actually* got round to doing it!

So guess what arrived in the mail a few months later?

A black double-breasted jacket and bright red cravat

A pair of Playboy bunny ears, collar and cuffs

So that was it… let's geddit on! 😀 😀 

It was good to know that most of our guests turned up as such awesome sports as well.

The boys came all suited  & vested up and the girls came in bunny outfits!

The birthday boy and I 

Pimping, Alex?

LOL Allow me to quote him –

"There will never be a good photo when Alex is around"

The birthday boy's mother & sister came too – check out more bunny girls!!

Woohoo 

T'was awesome that le boyfie's mom came all the way to Melbourne to join us for the celebration!

She decorated the tables and bought a Chocolate Mud cake too. Yummy 

Nice!

Dinner at Minh Xuong Chinese restaurant along Russell Street was amazing.

There was so much food on the table, everyone ordered something different and we shared amongst ourselves. We had Wanton Noodles, Barbequed Pork Ribs, Black Pepper Beef Slices served with Rice, Claypot Glass Noodles, Chinese style Fried Rice, Soft Shell Crabs and more!

They were all very reasonably priced & delicious. Best part is, the restaurant was BYO all alcohol!

Gettin' a lil red after all those glasses

I loved the food and the ambience. Would certainly go back again (if we weren't kicked out!)

Okay fine, we weren't kicked out… but here's what happened –

As the signage did say BYO all alcohol, we maximized that to our advantage.

Only thing was, if you had known our gang, you would also know the copious amounts of alcohol that follows. So we brought bottles after bottles of various types of whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gin, beer, cider and more.

Just as we were leaving after 3 hours of dinner + drinks, the restaurant reprimanded us in a typical FOB accent

"TOO MANEE DRINKS.

TOO NOISHY.

NO MORE NESH TIME!!"

But if it wasn't for all of us, the restaurant wouldn't have made AUD$300+ in one night.

So, suck it up & be thankful mister.

After dinner, the gang of suited up guys and bunny girls roamed the streets of the Melbourne CBD and eventually ended up hailing a taxi because it started to rain.

At Transport in Federation Square

We randomly decided to go karaoke but decided against it and went clubbing instead.

Wootwoot it was fun being all over town! From Russell Street to Federation Square to Docklands to Southbank!

Photos above credited to Grant! 🙂

The occasion was merry and crazy! Wrapping up the night was messy though.

Most of us were tipsy and the whole gang split up into a few small groups but managed to reunite and ending up disappearing and reappearing again. It was mad! 

By the end of the night, lotsa people regurgitated and passed out after all the insanity.

Some of us! Couldn't find the rest of them at the time of this photo

Another good night in the city with my love and my mates. 

Also, my days in Melbourne are numbered once again. In 3 days, I will be back on the Malaysian soil 🙁

Nothing wrong with Malaysia, I love Malaysia to bits but Australia had already left it's mark on me ever since I first left in July. My friends, my other half, my extended family, the culture and the lifestyle here has grown into me.

It's no wonder why my heart lies in Melbourne 

Don't cry, Jess. Don't cry.

Happy Birthday once again Konzylove 

I hope you liked my surprise, presents and had fun during the celebration! Love you always

So it was that time of the year again when you get another year older, another year wiser and another year closer to being an adult with worry lines, wrinkles and grey hair. Whoops 😛

if you've read the 100% RED birthday dinner I had with the fockers and the fun birthday bash I had with my friends in Twenty-One bar, guess what? The 21st Birthday saga has come to an end. This is the last series!

I totally LOVE birthdays.

Apparently, I seem to have convinced myself that my birthday lasts for an entire month!

What the heck, I only turn 21 ONCE and it's a big number! 😀 I don't mind being in a celebratory birthday mood for 31 days. No sirree!

So off my homies and I went downtown MOIS to celebrate a belated birthday with me. When I was still residing in Penang, this was my favorite haunt. Used to be there 3 – 4 times a week! And not forgetting the times I used to work there as a resident photographer. Ahh, memories!

So we opened a bottle of Jack Daniels and a Johnnie Walkier Black Label  😀

It started off in full swing! All the boys were mad! Kept asking me to bottoms up with them, especially Lin Chong and Chong Wei! -_____- aaauughhh! Don't murder me SO EARLY man! 😀 I still wanna enjoy the night first hehehee

Ohnoes.

When I was like, "huh? AGAIN?"

They went "YES! Don't care! Down it all!"

I'm glad to have best friends as crazy as me

When crazy and crazy unite, it's one night of mayhem! 😀

With them boys

Pimp daddy Chong Wei!

After numerous rounds of bottoms up craze, the worst was yet to come.

One of my besties MInny, walked right up to me with 2 shot glasses of pure Tequila and told me, "Happy Birthday Jessssieeee!"

I was like, "TWWWOOOO??

heh. One for me and one for you?"

She retorted "YES TWO. No, both for YOU!"

Uh–oh. *gulps*

Gawd I love them

Big hugs & kisses to Minny & Tannie 😀

(I was about to type MInny & Mickey LOLOL)

My man and I, with Mickey and MInny

I meant, Tannie 😀

Whoaaa. Man were they evil! I guess everyone planned to torture me tonight, for they kept pouring me shot after shot numerous times! Dei! DON'T PRETEND LOR! I downed it all already I swear! T__T This time it was 3-4 shots of Jack Daniels

Us with Lin Chong and Vivien

Felt a lil woozy immediately, but heck, after so much birthday "training" I think I may be immune to alcohol for the night! Either that, or my alcohol tolerance had yet again raised by one more level! 😀 I do hope it's the latter hehe.

We then hit the dance floor for some mad, good fun!

DJ Chaoz and DJ Coollen were on the decks tonight

and man, were they good as usual! 😀

All of us stormed the dance floor pretty much after 😀

I went over to talk to DJ Chaoz for a while and suddenly the boss of MOIS, Selva grabbed my hand and dragged me down. I was somewhat shocked, like errmmm boss, I can't talk to my friend a while is it? 🙁 🙁

Then when he brought me down the dance floor I felt like a little kid who had done something bad.

But no, I WAS WRONG!

HE DRAGGED ME DOWN THE STAGE TO SHOW ME THE FLAMING LAMBORGHINI THAT HE BOUGHT FOR ME!

awwwwwwwwwwwww bigbig love!

Instantly, everyone around our table was looking towards our direction. Like, what's going on? What occasion? Why is the bigboss buying this girl a Lambo? I was really touched for the thoughtful gesture. One of the best bosses I've ever had! 😀 😀 I gave him a big hug after! Thankew Selva! 🙂

After all those vicious doses of pure alco, I was turning redder and redder than usual

and a whole lot wackier! bestie and I with Carter

We partied so hard that we almost forgot about the cake!

So they opened up the box and set it all up

Homies and I on my 21st birthday, July 2010 🙂

AGAIN with the cherries! 😀

Oh my, all my birthday cakes this year had cherries on them hehe

We then kinda had a cake fight some time after…

And Carter got caked really bad! 😛

It went into his nostrils, I heard! hehe!

Vivien and I with JoshtheCakeMonstar and LinChongOMGimHighOnCake

Pulled out the candles one by one with my mouth

THANK GOD THEY NEVER SMASH MY FACE IN THE CAKE LOR!

We continued the incessant partying all night long

With awesome thumpin boomboompow of the base  yo!

It reverberates hard

Besides cake fights, we got into ice-fights too!

Poor Chong Wei became our victim with ice all down his shirt, stomach, neck and back!

Mannnnnnnnn the craziest things you can do under alco influence 😀

Okay! Enough with the party piccies. Any MORE and you'd be thinking I'm a party whore already. LOL All part of the birthday fun yo! Then, it's back to reality of working and studying every night! Bah. 🙁

Love you homies a bunch for creating insane waves of fun with me 😀 😀

and a big THANKEW to MOIS Penang for making my birthday memorable too!

Readers! So now you KNOW where to partayyy the next time you're in Penang ey? *winks*

Where else yo?

Ahh!

Finally had the time to sit down and blog about my birthday in Twenty-One, Bangsar!

Just like last year, I usually have a few birthday celebrations as friends come in different groups… and different geographical locations. It'll be tough to maul them altogether. This year, I celebrated a few birthdays too – with a group of fellow netizens in KL and Singapore, my wonderful Fockers in Ipoh and most certainly my insane homies back in Penang.

Mom's e-card 😀

But first! On the morning of my birthday, (slept at 5am the night before replying Facebook & Twitter birthday wishes, calls & sms-es BIG THANKEW YA!)  the doorbell rang and I lumbered outta bed to open it. Before me, stood a man with a bouquet of flowers!

Loved them so much! It certainly made my morning a cheerier one 😀

Thanks to one of my good friends June

Yes gurl, I will enjoy myself tonight! 😀 You can be sure about that hehe

Let's begin! Shall we? 😀

Dolled up and left for Twenty-One bar to celebrate my 21st burpday 😀

Was so sad for being FFK-ed (ditched) last minute, how could they do this to me on my birthday?

AND THEY SUDDENLY APPEARED RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES

T____________T I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry!

When I screamed, they said

"LIDDAT ONLY SURPRISE YOU MA!!"

awwwwwww. Gawd, much love 😀

While I was busy making sure everyone had a drink in their hands

Was nice to see everyone mingling about already!

We chatted, took pictures and caught up with each other

The drink of the night was Johnnie Walker Black Label 😀

Cheers Ren and Jeff! 😀 😀 Bottoms up yo!

But all hell broke loose when Eric bought me a glass of Graveyard

It's a killer and it tastes awfully vile! Aaacckk

Eric and Jac also surprised me again with something else!

Sharing is caring, no? 😉 😉 heee!

But he left me midway to fend for myself! aaaauughhh!

haha. But it was all gulped down in the end! Thanks guys

Random peekture of my guests during the parteh 😀

After numerous shots, bottoms up challenges, a Graveyard and a Flaming Lambo,

it was safe to say that I was starting to get a lil woozy~

With my fave Shouters! Daniel, Yen, Aaron, Eve & Satkuru 😀

I loved the Liquor Roulette set btw! More drinking ey? Muahaha

it was not long before the bottle of Black Label went dry. So I opened another bottle!

I don't exactly recall, but I was pretty certain the waitor gave me the bill to sign but no pen to sign it with!

More random party peektures 😀

Sometime after the stroke of midnight, my biological birthdate was officially over. But no, not the party 😀

It was time for the birthday cake!

Yummmm!! Dark White Chocolate Cheese cake, from Secret Recipe

My absolute fave 😀 10 STARS!

As there were lotsa smokers in da house, it didn't take long for the candles to be lighted up 🙂

Apparently, I didn't allow anyone to snatch the Ukelele away from me! 😀

Very woozy but I KNEW at this point someone made a toast to me

I heard my name and the clinking of glasses! Love you guys

Group photo yo!

With everyone sans a few who already headed home + extreme latecomers

Doesn't matter what time you come or leave, most importantly you're HERE to share a big bite of my birthday:

😀 😀

Speaking of extreme latecomers, Nigel, Mike and Jess (not me, the other Jess) came

after the cake cutting session 😀

Continued partying with everyone 😀

Let's all cut us some slack and let loose, today's a parteh time! 😀

xoxo 😀 The LAST ones to leave!

As it was a Thursday night, most of my guests were working adults which had to leave by 1am plus. Due to work the very next morning. AHHH!! 😛 😛 😛 😛 THE PERKS OF BEING A TWENTY-ONE YEAR OLD!!! *rubs it in* Muahahahah. That's for repetitively saying this to my face –

TWENTY-ONE ONLY AHHH??

SO YOUNNGGGGGG ONE!!

😛

YESSS WORRR!!!

TWENTY-ONE ONLY… HOW!!!!!?

heck, age is just a number *winks*

then again, what haven't we done by twenty one? 😛 😛

TWENTY-ONE, VIBRANT AND LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF IT!

You only turn 21 ONCE so make the best of it!

Tonight was certainly a night to remember. Thanks to each and everyone of my rockstar guests for the presents

and who made the party all the more merrier and especially sharing my big day with me

even IF you didn't get me a present due to extreme short notice, your presence was the present already!

But those who did, thanks for going the extra mile to make me smile  🙂

I don't remember this picture being taken but I reckon I was thanking all my guests on Twitter!

heck, forgive the dreadful grammatical errors I saw the very next morning >___<

Guess alcohol can really fudge up your braincells

Thank you Satkuru, Aaron and Eric for helping me take peektures of my party!

While I crashed at the backseat of the car, the boys were having their own bit of fun 😛

Thanks to Ying Zi, Chris and Anis who walked me back to my crib and ensured I was fine before they left.

Woke up the next morning with a beautiful sight –

Birthday presents from last night!

I guess these were the only memories (besides photos) that I have!

As expected, this was YET ANOTHER BIRTHDAY I DON'T REMEMBER! *sobs*

I gotta stop piling on the alco yo!

Highlight of the morning = A LEOPARD PRINT G-STRING

when I ripped open one birthday present

*faints* 😛 😛

Hey hey loves!

Just got back to Penang for a short break to visit my folks and to party with ma Penang homies 😀

As expected, woke up with a slight hangover this morning. Nothing too dreadful though.. don't worry! I still managed to drive perfectly well! hehe.

A big thank you to ALL OF YOU who had played a part in making my 21st birthday celebration a blast. Although this year's birthday is is yet another birthday that won't be able to remember due to intoxication, I still have photographic evidences that never failed to make me smile – seeing all of your faces there, and that matters the most

You know who you guys are, the whole lot of you who made it even on short notice!

Really meant a lot to me 😀

I've opened the presents you guys gave me this morning upon waking up and I love them all! It's really amazing how you fellas pay attention to the details of what I like and heck, most of the presents I got was in red and black! Clever clever.

One of the gifts was a Topshop leopard print G-String too, who bought me that!?!?!? So cute of you!

Will show all the presents in the next post kay!

Only managed to squeeze one photo so far, stupid drunk face.

The rest are on my DSLR, will show you soon!

And for those of you who couldn't make it, thanks for your wishes! This includes all you fellas who took the time to convey your birthday wishes to me via phone calls, SMS, MSN, Facebook, Twitter and in this blog.

Gotta get ready for Round #2 of partying tonight, this time in my all-time fave Mois No.1 Upper Penang Road 😀
