This post may come forth a little late, but...better late than never right?! Haha. And I'm sure you dahlings won't mind this late "thank-you" post. April was an unforgetable month for me. Not just because it is my birth month. It was also the official announcement and set-up of a particular Council I painstakingly brought up from scratch. Can say, its my baby. So, it kinda weaved a beautiful closure for me at Mcys. =) Sad? A little. Missed anyone? Just 2 actually. Missed anything? Haha. *NEH* Hands-off! Liberated. Very in fact. I can finally breathe at my own pace, own time. (Not exaggerating, but nevertheless, it's all over...and I'm soo glad it is.)

Well, life has to go on. And I'm sure life's gonna be nothing but better! One chapter closed. And I'm all excited to enter the next! (cross-heart!) Like how I'll always be when episode 100000 of Prison Break ends. Haha. So yeah, if you guys know of any job lobangs...pl call me! Ha!

Alrighty. Back to the main objective of this post...I'll very much like to thank every single one of you who have made this 23rd birthday of mine such a special and spectacular one. A big thank you to everyone (esp a particular angel in paris) who called and messaged to wish me happy birthday.

First, would be the 3 sweet dahlings...Dan, Elv & Siwei. Ha. Thanks for being the FIRST (okie, 2nd. first was my mummy! hehe.) to wish me Happy Birthday! These 3 sweethearts actually came all the way to my pigsty to surprise me with a cheesecake at 12am sharp - despite their busy schedules, and work the next day! Omg. To think I even caught a movie with Elv that very evening. I never expected to see her again after like...3 hours?!! Haha. I so wanna squeese you 3 hard. Thanks for everything. *muacks*

Next, would be family of cos. Haa. My daddy's not a surprise kind of person. He would always ask me what I want, or what I want to eat on my birthday. And, for those who know me, I'm not one who minds all these...anywhere will do! anything will do! Its the thought that counts. Haha. But yes, I normally choose my birthday presents. Wahahaha. But this year, I told him..."Daddy, I really dunno what I want. Don't need lah". Can u believe it! I told him no need leh!

And so...did I end up with nothing? Or was it just a meaningless red packet? Neither! Ha. He din't consult me. Neither did he consult my mum. He just went to parkway on the day itself, after work, and got me a camera! Just like that. And he got me the coolest one. In red. And tada...that's the bday gift from my dear parents.

My mummy, although she played no part in the buying of the present, she specially woke up earlier on the 19th to cook a bowl of ai-xin mian for me. Haa. What about my brother in the big apple? And my cousin Jim in Singapore? They consolidated their resources and got me a wallet! Red one too. I loved it. But it was darn ex, and I chided them for getting such an expensive gift. I know they want the best for me. But still shdn't lah. They said..."Every girl have to own a XX". Ha. Wells, it's not me. not me. not now. I still can't bear to spend so much on a wallet/bag/shoe/watever. I think its how you carry it. Not what you carry. i.e. even if its a no-brand bag, if you can carry it off well, it may jolly well look even better than a branded bag. haha. Right? That's how I feel. Nevertheless, I appreciate their thoughts very much. And i...do like the wallet v much. But, no more ya! Haa. I count myself as one very very blessed girl. Blessed for being born into this family. And I can thank god no more for that. =)

And next, Eileen & Ping - my closest pals from TJC. My JC life wasn't exactly one smooth-sailing. And these 2 ladies made a huge difference to it all. There are not many frens who I can bear my heart to, who I can spend with w/o talking. And they're definitely one of the few. I absolutely love their company. Talking about them. They're in Melbourne right now, for their grad trip!! *wails* Yes, w/o me. =( And they are going to try out Sky-diving! How cool is that! I'm all excited just hearing abt it. Haha. These 2 sweethearts actually secured a ticket for me when they went tour-hunting. But alas, I can't dearies...my pocket's aldy burnt. Nm! Remember our Krabi trip? Ha. Let's schedule that! Sent them off at the airport on Saturday. Ha, somehow...the airport just has this magical ability that cheers me up. Other than on occasions when I see my loved ones off for loooong trips...I like the airport very very very much. Ohya, I din't mention how they celebrated my birthday for me. It was a unique one. Haha. Back in NTU, where we all "studied", and pigged out together. Dan came to join us too. Those silly girls. We've been through quite abit, and thanks for everything. Especially seeing me through my darkest period in JC. *Hugs*

The Tk-gers. Hahaha. The so so expected surprise. Lols. Imagine receiving an sms few days before your birthday asking you what your office address is? Haha. So obvious right? Omg. What were you girls thinking. Haha. But nevertheless, thanks for the lovely flowers. Thanks for the chocs. Thanks for thought itself. It made my day! And luckily it ended up at home. I couldn't imagine the scene it would have caused if it was delivered to my place. Lols. Thanks my dear girls.

And of course, not to forget THE Market. First and foremost, sorry for turning up late at hardrock. Ha, I was unwell and so...shd be forgiven ya? It was a horrible day for me. I had an awful cold...so I went to sleep it off. Thank god it went away, fast. Thanks for coming for dinner & ktv! Dinner was at hard rock cafe, and it was my very first time there, it was good! Dint really savour much of the food, but I liked the baked potato skin e most! Haa. Ohyes, and thanks for the nike watch. Loved the design, loved the colour, loved how it looks so good. Of cos, credit has to go to the lovely 3 who shopped for it. Haha. *winks* Thanks! BTW, it's on my wrist right now. Hee.

Haaa. Pl bear with me for a little while more. There are a couple more individuals I wanna specially thank. Thanks to Elv who got me this "punch-stick" for hitting my back. I chose it ya??? Hahaha, although the way i figured out the surprise was off as you said...but alas, the feeling was right. Thanks for the puzzle too! I know you hate that pic...but because it's my fav, you had it printed on the puzzle. Awww. And did I ever tell you that I love fixing puzzles? Haaa. Thanks sweetheart.

Thanks to Js whom handcrafted a very sweet birthday note. Thanks for being so so thoughtful. You're the one who goes to the finest detail, and I really appreciate it. You listen, and take every word I say to heart. Thanks girl. It will definitely be up my wall. *winks*

And also to a particular pig, he was the first (okay, as i said...strickly speaking my mummy was first, but haha. okie..let me continue) AND the last to wish me happy birthday. The pig also appeared on the very day to surprise me with awfully thoughtful gifts. Every gift has a meaning behind it. Cool right? I was very touched. Very very. Thanks thanks thanks. =)

That kind of sums up my Birthday Thank-YouS! I just wanna let ALL of you know that, I appreciate your presence in my life, and I cherish every single one of you very much. Though I may not have a fantastic memory, and I may be blur to my surroundings at most times...haha. I try my best to do whatever I can for this friendship. So, thanks for being part of my life!

BTW, its pretty off topic to mention this at this point in time, but I'm so so happy for two of my dearestest friends. Hahaha. So happy that I wanna pen it down here! Lol. One is Ms Constance Chong. And the other, is Ms Adeline Tan. HAHA! 2 sweethearts I got to know fr Uni. I can't describe in words my actual feelings , but I'm just very very happy from the bottom of my heart for both of you. *WHEE* ;)
