had my facebook wall flooded with birthday wishes, phone filled with smses, a few calls and personal handshakes (since it was prayer meeting night)...
it is touching that so many people take the trouble to type, call or do something for you on your birthday. Nothing beats loved ones who take time to think and plan something for you or go around searching for the illusive 'perfect' gift. Cheryl has learnt that her surprises usually backfire, so she's decided to let me get something i want (need) instead of trying to surprise me. She did get me something first before i shop for the 'big' thing, hehe...
Anyway, it started on the eve of my birthday, when Woon Ping dropped by the office with a box of doughnuts. It was really thoughtful of her...
Jeya had already made arrangements to take us out somewhere that night, so i rushed home and bathed before he picked us up. It was a nice surprise, going to a new place that we had never been to...
It was rather late by the time we got back and being true to my getting older, i slept off in the car... We reached home past midnight, so it was officially my birthday. Mei had already passed through my present when Pa and Mum visited her in oct. I opened Cheryl's 'small' present first...
It was a knit tee that i wore to prayer meet just tonight. Next came Mei's present...
I have decided that the socks are too cute to wear. I have big plans for that moleskine...
Went to bed and watched UFC till late, woke up rather grouchy on my birthday. Spent quite sometime replying and thanking everyone who posted wishes. Managed to squeeze in a birthday lunch/dinner with my colleagues (that is a whole other story). Rushed home early because of prayer meeting. Cheryl had cooked and also bought 4 slices of birthday cake!
By the time this pic was taken, one slice already in our tummies...
Jupe and Ellice have won the award for most interesting and inovative present...
Aunty Gaik had couriered Aunty Rose, Uncle Edward and her card + gift to mummy. Pa passed it through during prayer meeting...
Left one is from Pa and Mum...
Thank you everyone for all the thoughts and love that came my way today! My birthday is officially over.... nightzzzzzzzZZZZZZ
Icing on the cake, with a cherry on top: Mei just called from UK and we chatted for a while!
