This blog is here in conjunction with the release of Olympus PEN =)
However, yes although pictures weren't taken with that camera, I wanna share with you what are my happiest moments.
Since it's only a photo, I've decided to pick one, taken on 16th June, this year.
Picture speaks a thousand words.
There are many reasons why I chose this:

| I am the girl whose head is popping out of the Frame surrounding with my awesome uni friends (at Frames Reminiscence, Sunway Pyramid) - 16th June 2011 |
Looks like a normal 19th birthday celebration, isn't it?
In fact, it's not. It's a surprise birthday celebration, organized by a few of my good friends in university with my boyfriend's help, where I didn't even notice nor realize a single bit, until I stepped into this particular place. Also, on that day, we had some CAL session at uni, where all of them had to rush from Bukit Jalil to Sunway Pyramid just for my birthday.
Again, what's so special?
It is, because they picked my favorite place (although they dislike going there because they've gone there too often, etc) - Frames Reminiscence, which no longer located in Sunway Pyramid nor anywhere. They knew I loved to eat spaghetti aglio olio, and chill out in Frames whenever I'm free. Even when I'm not, I'll still be there at least twice a week =) Now, since Frames is no longer there, I'll still remember that place very dearly.
Why I love Frames? The food, the environment, and especially the staffs over there. All of them are very, very friendly. Most of them knows me! =) &they definitely know what I want and how I want my food to be done, and they will definitely ask how's my food, etc. &I'm also one of the few regulars who tested their new food which they wanted to put up on the menu.
I also have 20% for being a regular!
(from what I know, it's also a place where Nuffnang had their bloggers meet this year, right!?)
Until now, I am still affected by the fact that Frames had to close down. I felt very devastated and upset when the boss told me himself that they had no choice but to close down.
Anyway, that's not a matter but the matter is, the place they chose. I'll remember it forever because it's a place where my friends will never want to go but they still went, because of me. They told me 'lies' that they are really busy on that day - 2 person gotta meet their landlord, 1 person gotta fetch her mum from UM, 1 person gotta watch a movie, 1 person gotta meet her Australian friends, 1 person gotta go hom, etc.
Best part is, I fell for it! =/
I really didn't expect that they would give me a surprise. All I thought was, another birthday celebration, so it's just normal.
They also got me a Chocolate Indulgence cake from Secret Recipe to celebrate with me.
Usual, right? But for me, that's unusual, because they are all my uni friends, and at that time, we've known each other for.. maximum 5 months plus? You tell me, how many of your friends would do all these to give you a surprise on your birthday, together with a place you like to dine at and a cake right to your face?
Also, another reason why - on this particular day, Mr Xanthus - the boss of Frames, also gave me a 'birthday treat'. He gave me a huge glass of cocktail containing for 4 shots of Vodka @.@ well, how rare is it to get a treat from the boss aye although I get quite a lot from him like Apple Pie with Ice Cream, Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream, Birthday Cocktail, some blue cocktail, etc.
The ones attended are all my good friends, nonetheless. It's the companions that matters. Nothing will be as good as this without your best companions.
Since I will never get to celebrate my birthday at Frames next year, I am very, very happy that I get to celebrate mine this year at Frames =) Speaking about gratefulness. I will definitely go back to Frames once it reopens sometime later. Or if they don't, I'll definitely ask them to cater for my events.
If Frames is still available now, I would recommend all of you to go there, but unfortunately, it's closed until further notice (which, I don't know when).
Really, on my 19th birthday last June, what else can I ask for?
Good friends, favorite place, birthday cake, chances, boss giving free food and drinks, no expectations, discount, sacrifices.
Thanks a lot to everyone who attended especially the organizers - Chris Chin, Melissa Yuen, Evon Chin, Stephanie Sze, Tanusia Sudha, Alex Cho, Ng Ee Von, Wei Jiunn, Wei Hwang, and of course, my boyfriend, Kevin Yee. I love you guys.
