Early birthday presents

Even though my exams for my college were over, I felt lazy to blog & have been doing nth but reading comics, watching TV & juz zoning out... XD
It's funny, cos before my exams were over, I was longing to blog & all, but then I didn't really feel like it after my exams were really over ;-P probably cos when I had to study for exams, I couldn't really relax properly & wanted to do sth that didn't count to me as entertainment... T_T;

anyway, I was really happy yesterday & I decided to blog no matter what, cos I shouldn't be so lazy anyway... ;-D
yesterday was really funny, cos what happened is that my dad kept on wanting to celebrate my bday before we go to redang, which is before this sunday, cos my bday is next thursday, & we won't be at home during that time (my 1st bday that I remember which is not at home, or rather, somewhere else)
so, he kept on saying, "tomorrow" or "saturday", & then yesterday when I was in the room (it's my parents bedroom, but that's where the computers are you see, & anyway, it's a big room, so I juz happened to be there), my whole family surprised me with early bday presents! XD

actually, normally, all this is my dad's idea, but the rest of my family knew about it anyway, & yeah, we didn't really celebrate, but half-celebrate (actually, this could be counted as celebrating already ^_^;)
wat my dad did was he came into the room with a present (it was the shape of a box), & on top of it was a bday candle (obviously lighted up) *__*
& I was like, "omg, is this for real?!?" & behind my father, my brother was videotaping it!!!
at that time, I was lying on the bed on my stomach & I couldn't help thinking, "This isn't a very good pose," T_T; & yeah, I wasn't in my best look when I was being videotaped, but I thought, "Oh, what the hell," ;-P

anyway, upon opening the present, with everyone's eyes on me, I found out it was my sis's camera, & that she was giving it to me... actually, my mum already told me, so I wasn't surprised, but of course, the rest of my family didn't know that, so I acted a bit (hopefully it was enough), cos my mum said that since I was a good girl, she's tell me what's going on...
it seems that my dad, seeing how I like taking pics so much, bought a new camera for me, but after that felt that it was better given to my sis (which I don't mind, cos actually I really dun take as much pics as my sis), or rather to be more honest, they didn't want my sis to be jealous, cos since young, it was always as though I was the more spoilt one in the family that was given everything I wanted, or at least that's partly wat my sis felt as well, but she'll never say whether she's jealous or not... T_T;

actually, I feel that they juz dun noe how to ask for things, & probably because I'm more materialistic... cos if my parents ask them, & they shrug, & say "I dunno" or "Anything", then it's not like they really want anything, or even show it, so it's not my fault... T_T;

anyway, to continue, I got a camera now, & I'm quite happy about it (it's still sth, & it's true that I always wanted a camera), cos the reason why he wanted to give me the present yesterday was cos today I'm going out to meet my ex-classmates, & he thought it'd be nice if I could take pics with my ex-classmates (cos there's no knowing when we'll be meeting again), & I thought that was nice & thoughtful of him... ;-)

also, the reason why I want a camera is to take pics & blog!!! XP
cos part of the fun in blogging is also putting up pics, juz words are boring, rite? ;-P

then, wat happened was I was still in the room, looking at my camera & stuff, & my dad came in with another bday present! it was quite small, & I couldn't help wondering wat it could be, cos I dun remember anything I wanted that was small, & it was... well, I knew wat it was, but I dunno wat's the name for it... ^^;

here it is (taken with my camera ;-P):




it's sth like an adapter (maybe that's the name), & it's used to charged my mp4 player (maybe it's called a charger T_T;), cos my mp4 player can only be charged on the com & my dad said that there should be a way for it to charge without needing a stupid com with me all the time (we are going redang, you noe, but yeah, I decided to take the laptop with me anyway ^^), so if we went overseas next time (cos before that, we did plan to go new zealand, but not enough ppl to book a tour, so we didn't go), I noe we can't bring the laptop with us (I'll get a serious lecture, & I already tried that last year), so at least I can charge my mp4 player (music is my life, or at least, a big part of it XP) ^__^

then, while I was admiring it, my dad got another present for me!!! how cool is that?!? but that was it for yesterday night, although it's more than wat normal ppl would get (last year, I got a whole stack of presents, which was the most I got for my bday so far, & they were all stuff like shows, anime, my 1st time receiving anime as a bday present!, books...)
this time was funny, cos when I opened my present, I was like, "??? what is it?" & I was like, "oops, I dun even noe wat it is," ;-P




anyway, my dad explained it to me, cos before this, my hp can take pics but I couldn't transfer it on the com because of the infrared thing, & cos our com can't sense it, so that's wat he bought for me, not sure wat it's called though ;-D
the point is, now I can take pics & transfer it on my com (b4 this, I had to use my sis's laptop, & she's not with us all the time T_T;) XD

so yeah, those were my bday presents yesterday, & I noticed that they were all technology presents, which is also a 1st for me, & yeah, my dad mentioned it too, that he was giving me high-tech presents, cos my mum had no idea wat I was receiving, & yeah, some things are harder to know anyway... ;-)
at this time, I always feel a bit bad, cos I'm the kind of person who's embarrassed to say thanx to my family, & yeah, they're always so good to me, yet I never show my appreciation & all, so I thought I'd thank them here, cos I really am grateful to them, & even if I can't say it, at least it's here... ;-D

I'm hungry so I'm gonna eat now, but probably the next time I blog will be after I come back from redang... bye bye! ;-)
