I'm now officially 18. I feel so oooollllllddddddd!!!!! *sniffles**sobs**wails*
Okay okay *calms down*. Well, the "big" day was yesterday. And as per the usual, I had a pretty quiet birthday. Bummed around in the morning and had piano class (ah the cruel-ness of fate!) in the afternoon. Sigh. Does that sound like a regular ol' day to you? I thought so.
Mum took me, Dave, Sharm, Steph and Sheryll to TGI Friday's in Section 14. Meal came up to 184 ++ bucks, I think. *wipes brow* But hell. Once in a lifetime la right... :) Anyway. My dear cousins and mum couldn't keep their mouths shut and announced to one of them waitresses (who happens to be Sharm's friend) that it was my birthday. Whoop dee doo.
Next thing you know, our table is surrounded by TGI staff and I'm being coerced into standing on the chair. Oh lordy. And if that's not enough, they shout to the entire room that "This is Elaine and it's her BIRTHDAY!" Way to wanna be an ostrich!! And if that ain't enough, I have to SING. Yeah. That's right. ME. Sing. Potential disaster, darlin'. Ended up singing True. Which was the easiest of the "requests". The others were "something from Alicia Keys" or "J Lo's My Love Don't Cost A Thing". Ahem. Elaine - Alicia Keys? Nah uh. That just takes away the "potential" out of "potential disaster".
And after I sing? I gotta give a speech. Eeks! I'm just about the worst speech giver in the history of mankind. So I end up sounding like I'm at the Academy Awards or something. "Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you.." Oh the shame!!! *faints*
Okay, so it was good fun. But anyone who knows me will tell you that I hate being the center of attention. I keep to myself as much as possible and I hate drawing the least bit of attention to myself. Sigh. Oh well. At least I did it and it WAS an experience. *pats self on back*
Lesson I learned on my 18th birthday : I'm not a complete chicken after all! :D

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! *ahem* Excuse me. Couldn't resist that. Tee hee. Can't believe you got dragged into that too. A friend of mine had to stand on a chair too in the aforementioned place last year. It was hilarious - but deeply embarrassing for all of us since everyone -I mean EVERYONE turned to look at our table. I quote, "Oh the shame". Lol. But it was fun. I only wish I'd heard you sing. Then I could've been more brutal in this comment. YOurs sincerely, your bestest friend. (Whose position as bestest friend is now deeply compromised by this comment) Oh well. Cheers!
