thankies peeps!

*breathe* i'm officially 23. *takes deeper breath* it takes a lot of courage to admit that.

my deepest gratitude to everyone who sent their love either through msn, icq or sms... vic, joy, lynn, joanne, alvina, yong, zihui, jennifer, elaine, yee tat, qiang, shan, jocelyn, joo ching, mel, claryce, sharon ooi, jason neo, yihui, jeanne, nat, livie and denice.

thanks for remembering the day i move further away from the day i was wrapped in a pink blankie and crying in thomson medical centre. it is heartwarming to know that people think of you and make a special effort to key in a little message to let you know that you are on their minds. awww... *melt*

started the day well. heart just melted when jon played me a song he wrote for me in the wee hours of the early morning. short and simple, yet it was his gesture of love. and i went to bed with happy tears in my eyes.

went to a client's place this morning. helped them a little and swifted through my birthday morning without sharon knowing. she was completely clueless. until she dropped me off at ngee ann city when we popped over to Gap for a while to help them with some problem. and she was apologetic i had to work on my birthday. but i had no complaints.

skipped off to meet jon in the late afternoon. had a mushroom and chicken pie. had gelato and soda fizz. (it's my birthday. i can snack non-stop!) he popped me my pressie. WOW! didn't expect it at all. he struck off one item of my to-do-by-this-year list. thanks sweetie! watched a movie. shopped around. went for a lovely dinner. saw lions. and toot-toot home in the mrt... simple yet satisfying day.



came home to a lovely prose written by vic on her blog. thank God for people who love me so much.

i'm going to doze off to dreamland with a smile on my face..... and i hope you too.

i just realised that i didn't have a birthday cake this entire birthday. first step to my diet plan after all the over-eating lately. haha. but seriously, i think i'm starting to grow out of that phase of celebrating my birthday. which means, i'm getting older! oh no. i recall the same time last year when i had thought of throwing a birthday party at 23, coz everyone seems to have parties when they are 21. but after that, every year seems like a quiet affair. i remember when i was 21, everyone else seemed to be having a bash. but these few years, it's all been slow and quiet. i guess i will plan for one when i'm 24. that's what i say every year on the day after my birthday. perhaps it is just the post-birthday syndrome (PDS). part of PDS is also the deposition from the throne of "birthday girl" to "plain ol' mich". and here goes another 355 days......
