Had a great birthday!!

Had a Great Birthday yesterday - it was really, honestly, sincerely MUCH better than I thought it would be. :)

Celebrated with some new friends I got to know on a mission trip to Kedah - these are GREAT friends & yes, I just might write about them soon. :)

We had lunch at Seoul Garden - some of you might cringe at the idea of Seoul Garden for a birthday, but hey, I LOVE MEAT!! They suddenly gave me a GIGANTIC (to me) Winnie the Pooh soft toy. HAHA .... I used to think I would drop dead if someone gave me a soft toy for my Bday, but you know what? I GENUINELY LIKED IT ALOT. I don't know why .. haha .. *but ah, my car not very big, so if I keep it in there, like a lot of space taken up leh ... oh well .. :)*

After that, had the customary "Waiters bring you a surprise cake" thing there .. I think it was one of the first time I experienced it and it made me feel "warm" .. :)

Then RUSHED back to office cos I had tons of stuff waiting for me to do, but instead of asking me to "DO STUFF", the office pple were just waiting to celebrate my birthday .. haha .. you know, it feels good when pple put you ahead of work. :)

Something really funny happened - one of my SOT team mates smsed me saying something like "Sorry forgot to celebrate your Bday today" .. then suddenly a WHOLE stream of sms from my team suddenly came in. :) hahaha .. must be someone sent an "emergency sms" to remind everyone in the team. :)

Anyway, my SOT team was really really sweet today - they bought a cake and sang CHC's famous Happy Birthday WOOOOOOHHH song ... but the best thing was, they made one of nicest card I have received for my Bday ... :) It's REALLY REALLY NICE!! :) Can see much effort and attention was put into it ... :)


Having said SO much ... I'm surprised, cos the pple who celebrated my Bday this year were pple I got to know within the last 2 mths. Most of my "real" friends just sent me the obligatory birthday SMS.

You know it makes me wonder, do people start taking relationships for granted after a long period of familiarity ... it's actually really sad ... oh well .. :)

The only "old" friend who really remembered my Bday was David Tan who sent me an email from Australia .. haha ... Good old David ... :)

Oh, and I MUST mention Salome - she was under a lot of pressure to let me have a great Birthday. Salome, if you're reading this, I wanna say it again, I HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY 2008! Thank you and I love you! :)
