Birthday wishes and the surprise Christmas gift.

Today, somebody special goes from being a teenager, to turning into an adult. She's fab, fierce and my significant other in the Mars world, through ups and downs, thick and thin and even when I'm seldom around.

I've known her for more than 2 years now (hard to believe how time flies), so much has happened, and she's a wonderful friend and partner in war.

To Jai/Elliz/I'm no longer sure what to call you anymore these days...



Happy 20th Birthday, hun!

With lots of love, Stella.

As if being a great friend isn't enough, look what arrived at my condo for me on Christmas Eve! I was innocently watching Dollhouse when my mom received a phonecall saying a PosLaju package had arrived. My This Is War CD from Jai.

Of course, I was delighted. I'd been waiting to hear 30 Seconds To Mars' new album since December 8th, but it's failed to be available in Penang. Speedy and Borders both drew blanks (bastards) and Tower Records had closed down (FML!).


And then Jai very kindly offered to help me buy This Is War in KL and post it to me.




Was very puzzled as to how to open it, so in the end I just snipped off the top of the brown paper.


Covered in more bubble wrap than you can imagine for safety.


When I finally opened the package (not an easy feat, mind you, thanks to all the bubble wrap!) and pulled out the CD, I literally squealed with happiness. There was a note stuck to the front.


The CD came from Rock Corner.


I'm now the happy owner of my very own This Is War!


The front cover, sans plastic.


The back of the CD case with the triangular logo and song list.


The spine.


The inside of the case.




Putting it into my computer's CD drive for the very first time.



Something so small brightened up my Christmas so much. Thank you a million times over, Jai!

Honestly, next time I'm gonna find something really fabulous for you and post it to you as a surprise :D Except that I'm always takde duit la :( But some day I'll repay you...

And last but not least, my dearest Elliz happens to share birthdays with a Mars boy. Happy birthday, Jared! You get younger every year, you son of a bitch. Come to Malaysia again, this time when I'm around, kthxbai. xD
