24

Life is not what I thought it was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You

There's twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong..
(part of the lyrics of TWENTY FOUR by SWITCHFOOT)

When I think of the number 24, this song comes to my mind straight away..thought i post some parts of the lyrics to start off this entry..

Anyway.. it's been overwhelming to get all of your greetings..

The first b'day greeting honor goes to a big boss..West Diocesean Bishop Moon Hing. LoL !! It's not everyday you get a bishop writing on your FB wall wishing you happy birthday and somemore so advance as in on Wednesday. Appeciate it alot.

The most surpsing b'day wish ever for me this year goes to......AIA insurance company. Super weird... a sms came in and it was a 5digit number. I opened it and saw the birthday wish from them.

Basically most wishes came on Facebook..I have been busy replying them because I truly appeciate the effort of wishing me. No matter how short you wrote, I will still take an effort to thank you because I truly appeciate your wishes very much. Really, it means a lot to me. Touched by each simple messages.

Was abit upset with few things..

* My camera had problems so some pics taken were terribly bad. Mostly were overexpose. In the end, when i reach home, i got time to fix it. argh! So sorry that most of the pics taken cant be saved..small percent of pics were ok or decent to share with everyone to see...
* I think it's a bad idea to have expectations on your birthday. Honestly I had..dun ask me why but in the end it backfired and i feel upset about it. Alot in fact, but all i can say is, when someone wish me with the sentence..wish all your dreams come true..in this instance, doesnt apply to me. Nuff said.

Anyhow, I not letting petty stuff ruined my birthday.

Thanks Sam and Adele for accompanying me through the first hour of my 24th birthday. When the clock struck 12am, i was in McD with them for super late dinner/supper. Can't think of better friends to spend my first hour of my birthday with than you both. Thanks :)

First present was from Sam and Tze Yee..

Berangan-angan nak jadi orang pertama bagi hadiah..adui, budak ni semua...

Inside was some biscuits and sweet stuff..like hamper only..haha..the funniest part was inside was the REAL b'day card and the spoilt card they at first wanted to give me..lol..

Friday morning, in church, Aunty Annie came to me and said, in some Chinese tradition, the birthday boy must eat two eggs..and she really gave me two eggs to eat...so i obliged...they were hard-boiled, mind you and i gladly ate it..coz i love hard-boiled ones..

The staff team gave me two shirt..a pink and a blue..they said it represent the toilet-sign's gender color -.- then they challenged me to wear the pink shirt...again i obliged...at first i thought it was nice..but after 5 minutes, i took it off, because the more i look myself in the mirror, i thought it does not suit me..feel so girly -.- ..sori for being thinkin that way..

I took the staff team to Marche for lunch. I ate alot..alot in fact that halfway we were walking at IKEA..i went to boom the toilet. haha. Anyway, I was satisfied this Marche trip, maybe because i want to enjoy it as much as possible.

The FS gave me a cake. Thanks. Had dinner at Subway with them and hangout in Pyramid with them.

By 11pm, my stomach is so full. Imagine...morning i had 2 eggs, lunch was tons of food, then helped the staff team to eat IKEA ice cream and curry puff leftovers, b'day cake then Subway for dinner..quite stuff-ed up..

On Saturday, met up with family for lunch at Carls Jr. Youngest bro Daniel wanted it. Meet up with parents, bro, cousins, aunties. I was glad to be able to spend some time with family.

There were few more belated wishes and some people promised me meals especially my ex-sg leader..oh well..that's for later then..

I think this year's birthday was good for me. At least I m happy hanging out with various people. But cant believe it ends quite fast..o well..

There are so many of you all who wished me and it's hard for me to keep track..whether u FB-ed me, sms, etc. All I can say is a BIG THANK YOU AND A BIG HUG AND LOTSA KISSES FROM ME.. =)
