So this was taken on 22/23 Feb.
I had a great start to my 28th year, and I am thankful that all that mattered to me actually made quality time for me, despite all their busy schedule.
There was Audrey who rushed off from her crazy work schedule in office, and made it for our late dinner/supper the night before and I thought it was just our monthly catch up, but she remembered about my birthday anyway...
Team India surprised me halfway through my dinner with Audrey, and Crix arranged for a surprise cake for me, while Kuge and Aden got me a Flintstone Comb made from stone.
We caught the "unknown" movie after Audrey left. Silly girl refused to join us for movie. :(
Ben and Fion, despite their crazy wedding schedule - actually remembered and also arranged a cake for me after the banquet food tasting session at the Pan Pacific Hotel.
Imagine a typical 10 course chinese dinner + 1 huge cake + both their parents had to sing me a birthday song (Now getting ur bestie's parents to sing me a birthday song is entirely new to me....) Everyone struggled to finish their slice of cake.
Thinking back, even the serving lady was specially nice to me. Every dish that was given to me was in large, meaty portions!
The duck slices served to me was nicely carved with no bones, and even the pork ribs was boneless... ( I remember thinking to myself about the coincidence of being so lucky to get food portions with the nice bits while watching everyone fight with their serving of meat and bones ) Not forgetting the extra large slice of cake and the "happy birthday" decoration arranged nicely on my slice.
*beams*
There's also Adi who arranged his "fly-back-to-SG-to-Noms" entitlement to coincide with my birthday, just so that I wont complain about him being a bad bestie. (Haha).
The bestie also got me a red Adidas watch that comes with purple backlight (my 2 favorite colors put together), and hence my recent attempt in looking sporty!
Digressing alittle, I received this weird tan mark from my Saturday Flea Market attempt at the Wavehouse. For someone so old already, I have not wised up much when it comes to applying sunblock - so I'm now spotting this weird tank top mark that annoys me every time I get a glance at the mirror. My only consolation would be that my flea accomplice has got it worst than me, since he applied nothing AT ALL. (haha!)
I also had a great seafood dinner with the family, and had a taste of the expensive Mao Shan Durian, compliments from the sister. It made the D24 taste like crap after! The mao shan durian is potently shiok!
That just about sums up the +/- 1 day of February 25 - not forgetting all the wishes and blessings that I received from friends over Facebook and SMS.
Quoting a passing remark made to me "you are very well loved"
Yes, indeed I am, and I am very thankful for all the love, attention, time, gifts that I have been showered with for the past 27 years.
Writing this serves to remind me of all the goodness that I have been blessed with, should I forget and start taking things for granted.
