and so it was a fast-paced 23rd birthday...nothing special i thought when i first woke up at 3 am, only a 23rd birthday. isn't this what a normal human being would think?
i checked out my phone and found the first sms congratulating me, it was ardi. ok good, at least he got it. then second one was pat's. it was like that also right last year. i think so lolz =P
i slept again until about 7 am. found many comments on my facebook. at first i was thinking of buying myself a birthday present today but i just knew that it wouldn't be possible. at 730 my mom called, followed by my bro. my dad sms-ed me later on at about lunch time after failing to call me. cos i didn't pick up. sorry dad...and thanks to my fam
they're always there for me truthfully.
at work things were nice, as usual this happens to almost everyone at our place who gets his/her birthday that day =P and, people smiled at me, wished me happy birthday, the students were very nice too
at about 10 am, sue and celeste presented me their yearly art attack. this time around the theme was noir, I guess? If they think I like movies, then yup it's quite correct heheh it was creative, though got lots of used newspaper balls inside =P lolz got buttered popcorn, card for the best leading lady made by our beloved sue (which they regarded as me lah on this day heheh), and a dvd which was jeremy's idea, entitled "driving miss daisy". a deep movie about racism from 1989 which was an award-winning one. the masterpiece was all in black and gold. cool.
and so i did work as usual, tested my stuffs collected samples etc etc until lunch time. they took me to sushi tei. reminded me of my internship last time, i was also treated at exactly the same place by my supervisor =p ordered lots of food, the meal was very fulfilling but very nice. thanks again all =)
then after went back from there, i got this delicious brownie from shiyun and a super-duper cute koala bear from ronica. thank you =) after a while, sue and me went to nus to do the you-know-what near lt22. it took so long, and we're supposed to be back again to the unit next week =/
got back at around 5.10, we then went for teabreak. ate famous amos cookies which our boss got from roche. everything was lovely today at work. sugarcoated and yet pure lovely =D i dunno how to describe it honestly...
ardi picked me up outside nanos. he was 8 mins early from my off duty time. i went out at abt 6:11 pm. went dinner at matrix, which of course sounded a bit loathable for a bday dinner. but still daisy, give thanks. c'mon...at least the bday lunch covered for it =P i had to be ordered around for my bday. imagine man, it's my 23rd bday and it's still like this. remember that i'm no longer a student in nus =P after a while we chitchatted, things were suspicious yada yada he told me to wait for quite 15 min then told me to go home. of course something was on la obviously. i went home, he was there too. yusita came out from her room. nothing happened for quite a while. then jo came and told me that nobody else can come they're busy yada yada. cannot even buy cake...haha which sounded very strange to me...all the dramas =P but yea thanks for doing this to a 23 year old =p c'mon i'm a 23 year old lady.
all of the sudden, yusita came out with the birthday cake, cindy, erlinda...then *silence* and followed by haskell samuel mark hartanto and johni. they've succesfully hidden their shoes and sandals below the sofa. great job friends
thanks for the fruit cake, love it. there was a q n a session, eating cake, and appreciation time from me to them, and them to me also =P what i didn't find in nus iscf that i can easily find in ibn is acceptance and appreciation. of course iscf bros and sisters got lots of other benefits that we all know. but yup i guess can learn from both sides. from the nus iscf side still can be reminded that money and all the stuffs that we can enjoy from money are not everything crucial.
I always love comments from observant and detail oriented people. those are people whom i can trust the most for giving me advice and suggestions and critiques.
yeah yeah that was the chronology of my 23rd birthday. Thank God for everything
time to go back to God...
and no, no, i'm not telling y'all what i got from ardi. it's kind of embarrassing, though very cute and GENIUS.
