19 Jan:
eve of my bday and i'd decided to skip class and stay at home for some 'alone' time, watching my dvd and trying to relax with my caviar mask on. but i was getting rather distracted by my phone.
"wats with winnie tonite lah, keep smsing me. getting a bit annoying." i tot aloud while replying her for the last time.
the smses finally stopped and i was concentrating on my show when the doorbell rang. thinking it was my bro who must be lazy to dig for his keys, i pottered to open the door and found a ringing phone at my door step. i listened abit more intently and realised it was a rather badly sung bday song. sensing trouble coming my way, i scooped up the phone and attempted to shut the door. but alas, they were too quick for me.
the silent nite soon erupted into the hissings of spray cans and bursts of screams and laughter past the stroke of midnite.
to my dear frens - coney, jeral, kc, viv and winnie :
thank you all, for being there with me on my bday and starting off my 24th year with such a big bang.
thank you all for the huge cake, still cun finish it leh, how?
thank you all for the lovely presents! i love, love, love the bag. and the very expensive audrey hepburn file!
thank you all for the well wishes and taking me down memory lane with your cards/letters.
thank you for stayin up and playing mahjong with me till past 3am! been quite a long while since i've last played.
thank you for not complaining abt the lack of amenities, my house really not visitor friendly lah. sorry to those who had to slp on the floor! Really sorry!
to keep this short,
HUGE thanks to you gals for planning such a wonderful surprise for me! =D
it was deju vu, really, cos both coney and winnie did the exact same thing for one particular bday, appearing at my door step with spray cans (when i've jus stepped out of the shower!) and just, just in case you gals decide to recycle your ideas again, please DON'T! i don't think my aging heart can take it if you throw me into a pool again!

20 jan:
met up with dear ol' YC for lunch at mad jack's before i dragged my feet to class with a heavy heart. and it wasnt for long that i decided that heck, may as well leave early since my concentration wasnt on the lecture. so there, found my way to sis place for the bday dinner. and voila, my ayam masak merah!
mum found a fren who helped cooked the dish esp for me, so sweet of her! and she bought me the classic fan which i've wanted for ages!! now i can die a happy girl. =p
and check out the cake! my sis went and place some real mahjong tiles on it. and wanted me to eat those as well. -_-ll i think she could have some serious post natal depression.
so there, my bday ended (almost) perfectly. to YC for tt handmade figurine (made last min as usual), Wei2 for the chic bag, my boss for the bouquet of flowers, XF for the doggie toy, my family for the angpows and dinner, and to frens who remembered my bday, thank you all.
as unwilling as i am to accept the fact, its now official. tt particular old fart has turned 24 as of 20 jan 2007. geez, wat a scary figure. quick, someone pls tell me i still look 18!
