Happy Birthday to Me. Part II

Alrighty, here comes part II. So after dinner celebration with my JVS pals, as usual it's back to home then to office. Then comes Monday, got off work really early to meet up LM comm for a meeting, gotto to come up with the programmes for the first few LM. Thanks to Yan Xiang for his presents and all the best to your attachment in Korea. Didn't realise that it's already the last year in the comm, come to think of it I'm the only person left from the batch of us who started planning for a new LM. I'm glad that we can see small changes in the way LM is now, though it's really slow. Still miss the group of us - Junhao, Rachel, Yan Xiang, Chloe and myself. We have the best chemistry man, I can still rmb clearly the making of our "Heart of Worship" promotional video. That was totally such a hit, and it really does brought a breath of fresh air into the usual LM that time and marks the beginning of the changes in LM. Anw thanks guys for the B'dae song. I'm glad to be able to spent a part of my B'dae in the planning of letting more ppl to be able to rejoice in the name of God.

After meeting, it's celebration with ma Clique!!!! Yay!!! Was looking forward to it for very long time. A nice, warm steamboat cum BBQ in Jean's house was what we had. I loved it, though I was really tired from 2 consecutive days of non-stop celebration and work that I slept on her sofa. Haha, hope I didn't drool. So it was steamboat, BBQ then cake-cutting. Haha, it was really cool as we had three b'dae cakes for 4 October babies. One cake for me and Jean - the two 19 year old, one cake each for the other two 20 year old( 1 vegetarian for Jek Yew and the other for Lihua). Then it was losta b'dae song singing and candles blowing cuz Lex keep missing the shots of us blowing out the candles, So we had to relit, sing and blow candles for 2 times. And we forgot to make a wish before blowing out the candles, darn! Jean gave us those little packs of sweet treats which we used to get in kindergarten haha, really cute. Really thanks to Jean's mum who refused to take our money when we want to return money for all the expenses, thanks auntie and Jean's brother, who unknowingly provided quite a few entertainment value to the celebration.

Lastly, it's with my collegue. As usual we'll all go down to Tony Roma's for steak and wine, cuz it's just at the Fountain Terrace, very near ( So all females don have to struggle so much with the heels). Thanks guys for the treat and to the manager of Tony Roma's for the bottle of Shiraz that's on the house. We love it! And thanks to Steven for the Elmo t-shirt. So after that it's home sweet home for those family man and women and party on for the young and energetic ones (we just finished one whole day of work, ok) at Camp. Can't believe how over-populated it has made the deserted Demsey Hill to be. Really hated this. The waiter say it gets even worse on weekends, OMG! Now we have one less place to chill out on weekends.... Alright we gotto admit that it actually is not that bad la, but we've already gotten used to really ulu chill out sites with only really a few customer in the entire place. Ya so in another words, we only patronise shops with very bad business then we'll start cursing the shop so that it's business will not improve and we'll continue to have a nice chill out site to ourselves, hahahah. Anw we each ordered a drink, finished it as quickly as we can and pulled ourselves out of that place.

Now there's still 2 more celebration left with my IPP pals and A-team mates. Part III coming along soon...

PS. The cursing part was untrue ok.

Happy Birthday to Me. Part I

After 2 boring years of celebrating my b'dae with work, I finally was able to spent a few pretty decent ones with my friends.

30th September, Sunday. The day before my big day arrives, met up with my JVS mates. First up, my close friend in JVS - Ah qi! Had to meet her one hour before meeting the guys for dinner cuz she can't make it (she says she has to clock in 9 hours of sleep so as to be ready for her presentation tmr morning). That darling gave me a bag of presents which I totally am so in love with. Content of gift package includes a hand-made tile artifact, a little twine made box which has in it, surprise surprise a beautiful silver trinket box and lastly her famous hand made card which contain the most touching words.

Went to NTUC later on to help her with the purchasing of some ingredients for making Oreo cheesecake, then it's the guys. Supposedly a 4 pax meal turn out to hav only 3 person cuz some darn person got himself so drunk the day before that he was having a hangover and sleeping his head off. Of course we don't bother waiting for him cuz the 3 of us were really hungry, so we left him a msg and head off to Sakae sushi. As usual with NS man ard, the NS topic is bound to arise, so that's kinda how we spent our time while queueing up. We had a good deal of sushi, abit of NS talks and thankfully some other topics as well. Though the dinner was a really tiny one with only 3 of us, but I thot it was really warm and sincere. Especially thanks to Chee Hau for giving up time with his family to have this dinner with me before booking into his camp at 2230. You're totallly, absolutely, extremely forgiven for not buying a present. Your presence at the dinner is really appreciated and is a good gift to me. As for Shen Yeong, you're not forgiven but still big thanks for coming and thanks guys for the treat. Congrats to Shen Yeong for slimming down and tanning up after his physical expandsion due to his attachment in Shenzhen. All the best to Chee Hau for your training in Taiwan, take care dude.

Shen Yeong . Me . Chee Hau
We shopped ard JP then walked ch to the back entrance as he has to be back in his camp soon. After which sy and I went to catch "I now pronounce you, Chuck and Larry". The first part of the movie was damn funny man, but it soon die down with what I thought was too many unneccessary scenes of naked men, a half naked Jessica Biel and lotsa gaying ard.

I now pronounce you, Chuck & Larry

And lastly thanks to Kenneth Ong for the very pretty flower arrangement that you send today. It was really a surprise and thanks for going through all these trouble to give me a present even though you're really busy with your training, i really appreciate the present. I really hope you're not angry with my "patient" joke. Like i've said it's a joke, please do not take it to heart. :)

Part II will come in after today...
