My Birthday!!!
My birthday this year was pretty special too coz I've got special people who spent it with me and for me...
28 February
My frens, Kelvin, Boon and Sally, whom I have known for more than 10 years, celebrated it for me. It was supposed to be a surprise for me but somebody accidentally let the cat out of the bag! Oops! Hehe! Before we met for dinner, Kelvin and I went Bugis to shop for my birthday gifts. They wanted to get me something of their choice but I really do not wish to have them overspend and I would also prefer to receive something I really like so I suggested that I picked my gifts instead! I got two tops which I really really like! Yippee! Then we had Sushi Tei for dinner! Got to eat my favourite ramen n hotate, YUM! We chatted as we ate, it was fun! Sally and Boon had to rush off after dinner. Kelvin and I went to watch a movie at the Cathay. Meiling was there with boyfriend. We didn't watch the same movie but we got to chat before the movies started. Kelvin was very good at 'interviewing' a newcomer very subtlely, clever! Haha! The movie 'Marley & Me' was funny and sad at the same time. Was trying very hard not to cry because afraid that my eye makeup would smudge! Haha! It was a great celebration, got to spend it with a group of really nice and warm friends who understand me the best! Thanks guys, for making my day such a special one!
2nd March
Received alot of gifts from my little friends, those who are closer to me. My close friend, R, without fail gave me my favourite cake, a single slice Choco Exotic from Four Leaves, very yummy. She gave me a card and gifts too. The words in the card were very meaningful, really touched my heart. When I returned to my table, saw a muffin, a stalk of rose amd a card on my table. It was from my company! First time I received something like that from the company, so sweet! MF also gave me a gift, love the box but the gift was a bracelet, not sure if I will dare to wear it. In the meantime, my dad called me to say that my long time friend, CL sent a bouquet, food and a gift to my place. So sweet of her to take the extra effort to send them to me despite her busy schedule. Really love the bouquet, so beautiful. My little friends gave me a surprise at noon. They shared money and bought me a cake! They took the trouble to invite some of my closer friends at work to join us in our little party. So thoughtful of them. Throughout the day I received messages with well-wishes. I even received a call from Australia from S who was once my little friend 8 years ago, very touched indeed. Then at night I spent it with my family. My little niece got to cut the cake for me. She also unwrapped my presents! The gifts were all very practical and useful, love them! What a great day! It was filled with blessings from my loved ones.

Finally, the wait has ended! His parcel had arrived! Was delighted to see it on my table! Saw his familiar handwriting and my name was mis-spelt, haha! Couldn't wait to open the parcel! Saw a card in it, I read the card first. This year he put in alot of effort in the card. He decorated it with pictures of us and then the words he wrote in it, reminiscing the past, made me feel so melancholic because I felt exactly the same way as he did. Besides the card, there was a top. It was a long sleeved pink and white stripes top from Abercrombie and Fitch. I wonder if it is cheaper there. I really don't want him to spend alot. The top fits me nicely, will definitely find a chance to wear to work to 'show-off'. Haha! Actually the content in the parcel wasn't the most important thing, it was the thought and effort he put in (the card, selecting the top, making a trip to the post office) to send me something for my birthday. So sweet of him to remember and for wanting to make my birthday a special one. Really miss him alot. Every once in a while, I will wish that he will be back here in Singapore but alas.
6 March
Met DK, my close little friend who knows alot of my recent happenings, to pass her her birthday gift. Her birthday falls on the 9th. Didn't expect her to get something for me. Was pleasantly surprised when she passed me one alongside a birthday card. She didn't allow me to read it there and then. When I got home, I read her card. She wishes me a Happy 18th Birthday! Haha! She knows me so well! She wanted to put in a poem she wrote herself but found it too mushy so decided not to include it. Would love to see though.
It was a great BirthWeek(?), received surprises everyday and all those days I received well-wishes from people very dear in my heart. So blessed to have all of you...
