This year has been a memorable one, I must say.
Used to be envious of people with LOADS of birthday gifts,
but I guess I've passed the age of being envious and wanting presents.
Cos honestly,
to me,
it's the thought that counts.
And this year, surprisingly I had so many people celebrating it with me.
4 celebrations, 3 birthday cakes.
Thank you all.
To Janice, for the simple yet heartfelt dinner at Esplanade, and going with me to Ben & Jerry's later on,
where the usual gang was taken aback by my unannounced appearance LOL.
Thank you MBS for the unexpected fireworks.
Even though I know it's not for me, I shall firmly believe that it was so (hahaha!!)
Thank you Allie, Amos, Mel, Vij, Jourdan, for:
1) Making me dance with some random dude in B&J.
2) For the surprise tiramisu cake that apparently melted off the tray (*hint* NEVER trust guys with cakes hahaha!!)
3) For hijacking my phone and texting Tim, pretending to be me. At least you guys managed to weasel out a birthday greeting from him haha =P
4) For KIDNAPPING me to Clarke Quay and putting me on the Bungy ride.
It was a wonderful (or rather, the most horrifying) start to my birthday ever, lol.
Matt was OVERJOYED upon hearing that I was forced up the Bungy ride.
He had been waiting for this day for the longest time ever,
to see me on that thing, hahaha =)
You should have heard him laugh when I told him =(
Thank you Carol, Pet, Steven, Junhoong, Jet, Matt, Jon, Edward and Janice (again) for celebrating my birthday after church.
And to Pet's mum for the birthday cake.
Homemade cake still tastes the best =)
Thank you to Sean for the birthday well-wishes.
I'm forever 10!! How could you forget!?
Tsk... *shakes head*
To Mr Timothy O'Dwyer,
I am soooooooooo sorry about the text messages and phone call. I wasn't the one who planned it.
But thank you for your well-wishes, and apology for not being to attend.
Rest assured that I will hold another celebration and force you to attend this time *evil laughter* LOL.
I hope you had a safe flight to Hanoi.
Enjoy yourself there and I'll see you soon.
p.s: I'm still upset that you couldn't make it last night by the way. Why did you have to fly off on my birthday? *whines*
As I said,
it's the thought that counts.
And for them to take time out to bake a cake,
plan a surprise for me,
and to celebrate with me even though it's CNY eve, and they probably should be somewhere at home helping out,
I'm really grateful.
It's not about receiving monetary token as birthday greetings,
or presents.
But knowing that I mean enough to these people for them to celebrate with me,
I'm really grateful.
Thank you all once again.
And love you guys.
❤❤❤
