So much to share...
Wow...time really past so fast! Just realised i haven't been updating my blog for the longest time!
Some photos to share about what i have been up to...
Celebrating Shian's birthday:
Went to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve cos we are so bored with the typical activities in Singapore. Weather was hot and got bitten by mosquitoes, but learnt a lot about insects, wildlife and mangrove swamps. An eye opener.
On 16th May, my best friend, Annika left for Germany for her studies. She may be gone for 7 years in total and may probably stay on in Germany for good. Had mixed feelings. Happy for her to be furthering her studies, going back to her hometown and finding a wonderful bf....but sad that she is so far away now...will be hard to be in contact and definitely difficult to meet or talk like before.
18th June was Father's day so my maternal family had a gathering. We went to SICC for lunch and then had a durian fiesta at my place. It was food galore with lots of durians, ice cream, cakes etc...They also celebrated my birthday in advance. The sad thing was my dear Gareth had a fall just before the party began and hit his forehead, near the eye area so bad that there was a purplish blueblack immediately and a super huge bump. We all felt so heartache seeing him cry in pain. I must say he's brave to still bear the pain. Well...cakes does have an effect to cheer him up. Gavin was a nice big brother too, allowing his younger brother to blow one candle and he blowing the other, instead of fighting to blow both candles.
What was a real surprise to me was that the creative agency servicing me actually got me a bouquet of flowers with a cute butterfly bear and a card where the whole team including the managing director signed well-wishes to me for my birthday. They were so sweet, they knew i was going to be on leave, so they arranged for it to be sent a day earlier. They are known to be pretty stucked up and hardly buy gifts for their clients. Surprise Surprise :) 
On the actual day, i was on leave. It was just like any other normal day except i didn't have to go to work. I went to the mango sale and bought 3 tops, 1 dress and 1 jeans. Totally satisfied. Also went to cut, rebond, colour my hair and did hair treatment. Got a good deal cos of the birthday discount! haha. Afterwhich went home for a hearty home cooked meal. Mum cooked what i requested - emperor chicken and Mee Sua with Liver. Thanks mum!
So as an extended celebration, shian & I took leave on Friday and went to JB. We went to Jusco, the new shopping centre...it was pretty nice...we had fun shopping and eating....
The celebration extended till today....my cg sang me the usual CHC bdae song, prayed for me and gave me a nice simple bracelet and a card. It touched my heart a lot because this is the 4th cg i am with this year and the one i'm with for just a week so far. They are so nice to remember and be bothered with my bdae. I'm touched.
Not forgetting my wonderful colleagues who surprised me with the gift from crabtree & evelyn....Kerry who did a jigsaw puzzle & card and mailed it to my house just because i once said i like that picture....the many smses of wishes i got on my birthday....the e-cards, the AWFULLY PERFECT CARD my bf did for me...I thought i'm old enough to not be bothered with birthday celebrations anymore....but these wonderful people never failed to make me feel special...i'm glad i have friends like that...
