Happy Birthday to me!

Today, my 23rd birthday had been a light-hearted experience(as compared to other days thank goodness). Having fall on a Monday this year I thought I might be in the blues like I usually does on every Mondays. Ironically, I had a BLAST instead! May this feeling last! (Amin.)

Firstly, my collegues asked out for lunch and sabotage me at HRC. I had to stand on the stage and on a chair! Asked to intro myself to the crowd with an ice cream sundae with lit candle while they sang 'Happy Birthday'! Damn my stage-phobia 'coz it showed all over my face - cramped and spastic!(with assurance from my collegues-Monica, Andrea and Merrilyn!). Then I get a polaroid of me taken as a memoir! NICE(if not for my "lion" hair)!

Then, I manage to communicate with my ex-bestfriend after about 4 years! Mutually put the past behind us and were chatting through FB message. Ouh the wonders of Fb! & hw small the world is & how time flies and heals wounds! It just so happen that I dreamt of my late grandmother and after that her (consequtive nights) and thought that I'd better do something about it rather than being miserable on the "what-ifs". Im happy enough on 'forgiving and forgiven' as life is short and also 'coz I felt that there's a message in the dreams. She was the only friend with me during the last days of my grandmother and growing up I think It's incredibly stupid and worthless to be ending it 'coz of the betrayal feeling over a bloody guy. I mean for me now I think the females in my life are the ones who had given me the strength to go through the tough and I'd trade any other woman in a guy's place in my life. The past is the past. And importantly, I've learnt from it.

After work I met another set of females who rock my life! My cousins. I met shawty and juju for my birthday treat at Pizza Hut@P.S with additional surprise slice choc cake from Secret Recipe!(Lotsa chocs and fattening indulgence this day!) After which I got hooked to cotton on to buy some clothes with the Rubi gift card Zakiah gave to me previous day from her and Aini. (And by this time I'm already late for class & further persuaded my my lil' naughty cuzzies to skip for their sake!) Then, we head to The Cathay & got ourselves different lucky charms each(which kind of represent us individually) before checking out the awesome photography art exhibition by Andrew Chew just outside the entrance. Further out, another piece of artwork by HPB 'Be Positive' theme which is simply intelligent using metal structures with alphabets carved out to reflect positive sentences together with a video which reminds us to be positive(I so need that). After that more fun of Cam-whoring outside SOTA before heading home! I was so happy I didn't mind so much the fact that my parents and brother forgotten my birthday till I'm otw back home. Oh well!
