Happy birthday to me.

This birthday is one that I feel the most loved, remembered and I really appreciate everyone who made things happen for me.

This year, I took my birthday off the Facebook calendar so I would celebrate with those who really cared and loved me enough to remember. Aiya, I'm also quite bad at remembering birthdays sometimes so yea...don't expect much from others also lorh.

Thank you Kricia and Debbie for being the first two beautiful people who gave me a birthday surprise. Thank you Debbie for your wonderful support and love, Kricia always, for your advice and both of you for your friendship. You were the two good friends I gained and never lost throughout uni time. Anyway, speaking of the surprise, Debbie played along two hours rushing here and there to avoid me from finding out. And she played her part worthy of an Oscar award. There Kricia got to be coped up in a hotel room alone for TWO WHOLE hours waiting for my arrival and there I was, wondering how could she be so busy until she forgot our girls' date (T_T)...then the better side of me knew that she's working solo on her flourishing business so couldn't blame her. But rupanya you both worked so hard to surprise me. And I'm the most unsuspecting person in the world.

For those who don't know. Yes, the three of us had a girls' getaway a week before my birthday. We stayed at the Royale Bintang Hotel next to the Curve. Just to spend proper time together, away from work, away from relationships and just us girls catching up and doing girls' stuff (note: fail) but we still had fun la. :D But then, we are always very spontaneous and no awkward moments.

Thank you Si En and Ching Leong for organizing the CG and youth surprise for me last Friday also. Though I expected it to be a flop after knowing the exact time and venue. You guys came up with a new Part One, Two and Three (T_T) What with a first "fake yet true" celebration at church first. Then ending with Ching Leong taking me to dinner alone with the two kids. Then suddenly everyone ended there. So many people. (T-T) And Shirley came all the way just to spend time with me before driving alone home. Actually I was a bit overwhelmed on that day after coming home from Wong Kok. Then I cried at home. =.=||| But really too taken by surprise lorh. Thank you for the cute presents, the jelly beans in the pretty jar and your well wishes.

Again, right when the clock struck 12am this morning, Si En texted me to wish me and ask me to check my email. And I discovered our CG had made a slideshow montage with personal words of encouragement and wishes for me. And it made me cry again. :'(

Thank you Gail for the cash, Ah Gong& Popo for the new Samsung Acer Plus and cash, Daddy for the new Acer Iconic Pad, and Mable for the hairbands, heart earrings, and Felton Pink Flask. My family loves me very much I know. Ah Yee also Facebook Pm-ed me before the clock striked 12am. Daddy came down with Mable yesterday to spend time with me and treat me lunch.

On a side note, just for personal recording purpose. There was a tiny twinge when I opened the fat ducky bag and found the content inside. Memories flooded in 
...
again associated with you. The colour and size is different.Mine is big and pink. But the shape is still there. I remember how you washed yours for me...I hated this particular thing whenever I went into gift shops. .
...
People who texted me and wished me online were Ah Bing, CK, Si En, Eddy(surprisingly), Debbie, Colin, Jennifer, Natalie, Ah Gong and Popo, Mable and James.

My colleagues Karen and Yong Ai gave me presents. And everyone bought a cake for me to celebrate. I shall exclude Mr Lee(who has no heart) from this memory.

Tonight I'm going to have another small  celebration with a small bunch of youth I'm close with. :) And Qin Zheng has successfully helped me download the 4th season of Gossip Girl for me after 3 days of non-stop downloading. Will get it tonight.

What I want to say is:
...

My birthday
...
The birthday cake my colleagues got from the RT Pastry House tasted of the one you baked. There are other things I cannot shut down. And it hurts all the same.

IS LOVE!Perhaps this is all part of growing up. Happy birthday. I will not let the past influence my happiness today.
