For those who wished me belated bday, well dun feel bad. Though belated yet I'm still thankful.
Oh ya, not forgetting those who emailed me like Shu Jun, Jeffrey and Guan Him.
Perhaps I'm too attached with my family that I always think I should spend my bday with myself and with my love ones.
The week before last, grandma called to ask me if I'm celebrating my bday. Guess she is so used to celebrating my bday every year. So last sun we went for dinner to celebrate. Grandma always gives me angpow. This year, grandpa too. I remembered he gave me last year also cos it was my 21st and I had a party. This year he gave me money cos grandma gave me angpow. So mummy commented that he's trying to compete with grandma. Haha.. Well like grandma says, grandpa always loves me more than the rest. Only Shawn and me get angpows from him during birthdays. Haha.. the rest of my cuzzies, dun be jealous k.
This year, I pampered myself with a spa on tues in the midst of all the shaking from the earthquake. On my bday itself, cos dad was on mc, spent some good times with him. Long time nv spend quality time with him. We had lunch, tea, talked and shopped around, then I went for a manicure and yoga while he went to pick mummy up.Oh and I was so crazy that I spent $40 over buying fruits. I love to spend time with dad alone. Felt so loved. Talked about me, my future, mom's new job.....
Something that dad said during dinner imprinted deeply in my heart. He just looked at me and said to my mom "Seeing her grow from 2 to 22." Guess it has been a long way to see me grow up. I just love to be my daddy's girl forever. No matter how old I grow, I would always love those times the 3 of us cuddling together in bed on sun morning.
This year, I was touched to tears a few times. First was when I went shopping with aunt alice and she just bought me a birthday gift when I commented how beautiful a necklace was. 2nd was when cutie Cheryl sang me a birthday song. 3rd was when one of my funny yoga master sang me a birthday song. 4th was when Jo Tan and Jo Cai called me to sing bday song for me over the phone. So sweet of them. 5th was when my cg celebrated my birthday ytd and yes there again was a bday song. Gosh, I've got a huge prob with bday song. It simply drives me to tears without fail.
Kel just kept apologising for forgetting my bday and that the cg had to celebrate it belated cos they simply missed it out. I really wasn't upset, but I'm really touched to tears cos I really appreciated their effort, especially when I just transferred over not long ago. Hah.. even Sheena forgotten about it til they celebrated ytd. They originally planned to celebrate on thu and Kel even bought a cake but I was sick and din go for cg. Din eat the cake, but the thot was very much appreciated.
Well it so happened that last week I was down with food poisoning and I felt so horrible after the svc that I cried. So Pearl came to ask me ytd if I cried last week cos cg forgetten to celebrate my bday. Dear Pearl, I cried last week really not cos I was upset, but I was in pain. Well the stupid pain was so unbearable that I had to go to the doc after svc and got a jab to relieve the pain. Thank God for the courage to bear the needle. I never knew I could brave thru the injection.
Birthday wish for the year:
1. Hopefully to get into one of the big 4 audit firms or Marina Bay Sands. I'm going for interview on 28th March. Pls pray for me.
2. Pass my exams in May and June. Pls keep me in prayer k.Labels: Birthday
