Birthday 2009

First time that I'm celebrating birthday out of Singapore. Thanks to so many people, that I had such a great day this year. Received the great news couple of weeks before that Crystal is arriving on this day, few days later, learned that Serene's flight is scheduled to reach SF on the same day also. So QIAO!! So happy! ^_^ Didnt make the decision fast enough, and the car rental price soared so high. Lucky winston made the reservation for every weekend. Thanks to him, for driving me to the airport to pick Crystal up, and then to Wharf Holiday Inn to pick serene up.
Head home 1st for crystal to put down her luggage while serene get excited over my gigantic me-to-you bear while I had a mini present unwrapping session. Surprises from my panda. =D A sony mp3 player, ear-rings, cute panda hp accessories, home-baked biscotti and a super pretty handmade card. That moment, really hope panda was by my side, will give him a big hug! Next is a nice gift from my jiemei, Frances. Cute teddy bear wrapping .. wif a nice panda top and a cute teddy bear keychain watch. Lastly is a sweet card and little accessory from Serene. While excitement was all over, we left house for Sausalito. Its my first time there too. A nice little small town my the coast. Met up with Wenshun, Chwis, Mabel and Shuyi there before settling down for some ice-cream. Yummy pecan ice-cream shared between the 3 of us. We walked down the coast to take some photos Us and Winston aka mr ahmad.. haa yeah .. this is the day he got this ahmad title, from jo. lol.. Its bout dinner time where we head to Houston opp Pier 33. They serve really good steak! Pricey, but so far best I've eaten. Turn out to be a super big group, we had to split into 2 big tables. Thanks everyone for turning up. We're all so full from the huge portion. They ordered a brownie with ice-cream as cake for me to blow candle. Super right choice, cos every1 jus need to take a small mouth to finish it. Its really yummy though! Thanks wenshun for drawing such a nice card, and thanks for the nice fisheye camera (i know you 2 know i've been aiming it since some time back. =D ) Lastly, received this snailmail birthday card from Hweeying. Thou it arrived a bit late, I'm so surprised and happy. Snailmail is almost extinct in the current era, but its really sweet. =)

Pre-Birthday 2009

While at work on thursday, I received this note on the email: My first thought was that its a spam and I ignored it.. lol .. cos recently my department group email been receiving spams. Really got stun when I got back home, when i open my door, my usually stuff-toy filled bed, all the stuff toys are gone!! Only my pillow, blanket and laptop was left there... They left some clues for me in my camera lying on the floor. So solving the clues means I found all my small stuff toys.. Where's the big ones? Min Min? Pig Pig? Me-to-you bear bear? I haunted everyone that night.. lol..asking for my min min which I hug to slp every night. Obviously, every1 acted blur. So that night.. I had to sleep without min min.
Got another surprise when I get to work. Before I reached my table, I saw my colleagues smiling at me. My stuff toys!! All kidnapped to my desk .. wahahaha... They wrapped my phone and monitors etc too .. haa.. but clever winston.. didnt want to wrap too much cos he knew I gotta work on his show that morning, wrapping too tight means I cant get to work .. lol .. good for him, lucky for me.. True enough .. I really gotta get to work on his show even before I can settle my bear somewhere. Its so big that it took out my whole chair, so i had to stand and work. lucky my work desk is those can adjust height easily de. End of day, since they kidnap my toys here.. they're suppose to help me bring back.. lol.. lucky jerry got car.. Got these photos from Kel, where he took photos while bringing them to my desk
