birthday blessings

Thursday, July 21, 2005


First of all, i wanna thank all who came to Swensens that day... i msg quite a few pple but really din expect so many to turn up..give me face right? haha...thanks a lot.. =)

I think that this year's bdae i wasn't really feeling happy or excited..afterall, who would? if that means a yr older? haha...i mean i did not envision or plan anything big scale, dunno how to plan and don't wish to. i mean, 21st bdae to many is a BIG thing but to me... i dont think so. perhaps it is a BIG thing, a rite of passage but it seems that perhaps because of circumstances and events that happened prior to my bdae, i dont think my bdae would be something BIG. nothing to brag about anyway.

but hey, i am still grateful for my bdae. cos i had 3 celebrations in all, all on different days with different people, except jess the consistent one who was present at all. haha..yes u lah. in my life so much. we are quite sick of one another already ya? hehe..

this is gonna be long... bear with it if u can.
I wanna thank everyone who gave tangible and intangible gifts. they are both impt to me.

Thank You;

Mummy ~ who gave me a silver necklace with a key pendant.. haha..i asked for it.. so exp! and a card which she said she bought it one month ago! so sweet. A mother's love is still uncomparable.

Sister ~the giver of my long awaited MP3!!!!!! din expect her to buy cos i was just whining to her that i would have to save like how many months to buy one! the MP3 was so cool..and my sis ah.. so surprisingly sweet. haha.

Brother ~want to shake my hand one day b4 my bdae. stand in front of me and i was like "what?" and he said it was my birthday and i told him it's tmr. He said never mind. ahhhh...my bro. there u have it. and on the actual day, he stretched out his hand again... ahahhhh ....HEADACHE.. =X

Daddy~ actually called me on my bdae but somehow i missed it. I only knew about it when he called again one week later. dear old daddy...miss him..

Jessica ~co-organiser cum shopping kaki for my bdae presents. she actually accompanied some of my friends to shop and help them choose what to buy for me! like pple say, best friend knows best. i say, she knows everything! =) oh ya, u wanted to know how i find the present u give me right? eh..dont tell u! haha... to be frank, i like it. It will definitely encourage me and serves as a reminder to me. wish u understand God's love one day too. -)

Jennifer ~my da jie. a big sister to me. of all the gifts, yours were the most simple yet the most touching you know. cos u personalise the whole gift! from the card to the bookmark to the wrapping. sister, i really was impressed that u took so much effort in preparing my gift. i dunno how much time u spent but i wanna u to know, i really really appreciated it. Like the quotes. Friendship is God's most precious gift. and i thank God for u.

Liqin ~ uni friend who's got loads of style. a gal who has her own qi zhi. but she is very friendly and i am really quite surprised that u and mingrong came cos don't know u all very well.. the necklace is in my fav colour, blue! above all, i really treasure the friendship that we have. fellow social workers, let us complain and unite..haha..

Mingrong ~ hey gal! had so much fun suaning you...haha..hope ur high pitched "hmmm!" sound is gone... haha. a friend who is being very herself when she is very funny. that's Mingrong. cannot stress her one..haha. thanks for always reminding me about things..and allowing me to suan you.=) dont be angry k.

Mingjie ~another of my uni friend. very sensible and clear headed. can be funny at times.. hehe..always think of others..a gal with a kind heart. really fortunate to have her around esp when we take mod, she's such a great help! the gift you gave, i have never use the scent before leh..hmm.. will go sniff.. =) and dap.

Xun Yu ~ my sister in Christ, uni mate cum confindant. she 's a great listener and makes an impact in her own quiet, unassuming and humble way. always smiling, always giving...even when she's angry, it's more like she's irritated. =) thanks for the cd. i really like the songs there...esp i give you my heart.

Su Teck~ my uni mate cum colleague. a guy whom i've known for a yr and a half...the gift was so beautifully wrapped! and the card was very nice. I'm using the wallet now..hehe..the more i look at it, the more i think its nice. and i also like the poem..really makes alot of sense and it's very like me. u composed it? and the key chain? cool! never got something like that before.thanks.=)

Piglet ~ close friend cum confindant cum SNAG. hmm. ya. din expect u to come actually. that issue still not resolved hor. at least to me. to me, it's wrong. i can't accept the act. but that doesn't stop me from accepting the person. hope it's clear. =) and my prezzie? one SLICE of ice cream cake wont do...

Andrew ~ my friend cum colleague. a person whom i'm getting to know more and more about. and the more i know him, the more i think he's a nice guy. glad our misunderstanding was cleared up. otherwise, i would have lost a friend who's so patient and caring. =) thanks for the amer cake together with angus grp. so delicious, yum.

Lilian ~ ah ma!!! my dear dear friend who will always have a special place in my heart. actually took the time to come for my bdae even thou she got work later that day. have not seen her for very long but glad to know that for the 1st time, she says she's busy! busy always beats nothing to do right? ya..glad for a big-hearted friend like her, no matter what, she is one friend who accepts me for who i am, despite my flaws.

Johan ~ uni mate cum friend's friend cum brother in Christ. gosh, still cant believe u and siming got me that shirt. i WONT ever wear it.
