27 Feb 09 - Marley and Me by John Grogan

who says 'Marley and me' is a romance story? to be very honest it's not even a story on dogs but it is a GREAT AWESOME reality on LIFE COMMITMENT! i'm not even saying this as a dog-lover.. it's really a must-watch for all guys! teach you about what is family building, what is family stress and relational bonding.. and it's a real-life account from John Grogan himself! real life experience to have what it takes to be a MAN!
.. i cant help thinking what a great man he is - to love marley, despite all the work, ambition and family stress that are mounting on him.. all the acts of love to his wife and to marley.. a man of love and responsibility..

i cant imagine what is it like when it's time for my hugo.. i tell you i will be 3times more depressed than my depression.. my hugo.. no one understands why he chose me to love, but he just loves me with all his heart, out of so many people in the family.. he knows my heart, my 'commands' even before i speak.. he knows i dont like him to beg for food, so he will not step into the kitchen when people are eating.. he knows only i can feed him so he wont beg others for food.. he knows when i'm tired so he will just sit quietly close to me on the sofa... when i'm happy, he is the first person i'd like to share my joy.. and my tears.. when i was sick and even during my depression, he never left me alone.. (trust me, these are without training.. i've never sent my son to any dog training or whatsoever).. despite his small size. he has a great heart of love! without him on my bed, i cant sleep (when i have to travel on business/leisure, i make sure my laptop is connected throughout the night, by my bed.. so i can always be ard for hugo).. at night, i just have to hear his 'snoring' while i pat him to sleep..

no words can tell you how much i love my hugo.. i know when he's not feeling well, when his leg hurt or has an ant in it.. when he wants to be alone.. when he needs to play around.. or even when he just want to be lazy to sleep a little more (he has total access to my room - he can take his time to wake up, though i need to fence up my room in my absence).. i know he does not like me to give some of attention to him while doing something else.. frankly, he is my boyfriend or even 'husband'.. he takes such great care of me, protects me and loves me with all his heart.. no matter how tiring it is to have a 'single mother' lifestyle of sendng and picking him up from his school everyday, it's worth every ounce of my energy.. i dun expect anyone of you to understand but be gracious to accept the love and bonding we share..

have to admit there are times when i'm struggling to balance my social life and him.. very often, i find myself forgo those social outings for hugo.. i know he is anxiously waiting for me at home.. my mum says he is always looking out for my return... and i'm the only person he'll play with and smile to.. trust me, even if i'm doing nothing at home( not a fav thing of workaholic) or missing out on my shopping and socialising, i know my time with hugo is well spent.. i love my hugo.

******

listen to this.. it's one of the unforgetable songs i've heard.. i cried at first hearing..

i still cry every time i hears ..

26 Feb 09 - Create in me a pure heart

isn't it amazing that all things work for those who love Him (Rm 8:28)? God answers prayers! for those of u who dunno, i've been down for past weeks.. physically ill (still coughing), emotionally dry and spiritually challenging.. so much so that my dear godbrother know i'd go AR every lunchtime if AR is near my office.. trust me, i would.. AR is the only place where i can replenish my joy, quench my thirst...

ok, things didnt start well.. some disappointments + some last minute changes directed my decision to request 'make-up' to another cell which is nearer so i wont be late for meeting.. but in the midst of these uncomfortable last minute shuffling, i ended up with N277.. talk about strong fellowship, i finally can download my burdens, my thoughts with these good friends... not that i cant share if i dun come to this cell, but .. time can be a restraining factor.. anyway, that's how things are - after all the uneasy shuffle, i'm back to my 'download centre'.. i cant describe how light my heart is now.. so much lighter, drinking from the Fountain of Life with good fellowship is really best choice! Making a lot of good difference for the rest of the week.. of course, there are some things I still have to face but.. a step at a time.. esp with my recovering health now, i really cannot take or think too much now.. Let God unfolds His wonderous plan :)

in fact, God has started His water splashing on my dry soul yesterday - Ash Wednesday (If you seek Him, He will let you find Him - Deut 4:29)
His plan unfolded: what a motivating factor that my godbrother who lives so far from CTK, actually wanted to attend Ash Wed in CTK.. of course, i agreed to attend with him.. cant tell you how happy my heart was to see my RCIA family again.. hugging them, greeting them felt like Chinese New Year gathering.. cosy 'small' church with familiar godfamily.... what a support and comfort to my struggling soul.. i practically smiled and danced my way past all the pews.. it's so good to be home.. i saw my daddy (and mummy), Francis, Eunice, bubbly Florence, and even 'grandpa' Paul.. the joy of celebrating Mass as a 'family'..

God didn't stop there.. the readings and the Homily was good, but the greater one was the hymns.. songs that reached out like hands into my soul to comfort, pouring water into my drying cup.. the so-familiar song 'O God You search me'.. and the verse - Create a new heart in me (Psa 51:10).. all speaks and attends to my dehydrating spirit.. God just works in His wonderous ways again.. in His Presence, there is fullness of joy!

..so refreshing to be in the Presence of God again, to be in strong Godly support..


Psa 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

23 Feb 09 - i think i really need a break.. SOON

When my Taiwan friend sent his photos to me just now, it really warms my heart so much.. that I am actually envious of his happy family! Remember princess TingTing? She is so adorable (minus the too pro-active part).. and the photos of their Macau visit really.. really.. I really envy them~! So much so that I comment to him that ‘though he is fierce and ‘authoritative’ in the family, but he really loves them so much’.. Trust me, you cant help but to feel the love he has for them thru all those photos.. 好好大男人..

The more I look at them, the more I miss my ‘2nd hometown’.. Sometimes I cant help wondering if I’d be married to Taiwanese.. don't know why but I’m so ‘connected’ to Taiwan.. since secondary school days.. (maybe I should ask my ex-colleagues in Taiwan to match-make for me).. Whatever the case, I must ensure my son is able to be with me :P

.. I still crave for my Taiwan snacks and food..
Can I just laze in my room in Taiwan? Just for one weekend?? .. the air-tickets are really very cheap and tempting!!!

22 Feb 09 - 火車旅遊.. 真的是太過分了!!

my goodness..
cos of my 'recent' faint and instable blood sugar.. (hello, this is the FIRST time my blood sugar is instable ok?? not that i've neglected my health.. just some female stuff, ya?) anyway, bcos of this condition, i cant go out under the humid weather and sun, in case i faint.. and hence, i've been staying at home for past 2 weekends.. not even to church service.. i'm totally.. bored bored.. thank God that we finally bought a new tv (the old one resigned 2wks ago).. i finally can switch channels.. and.. I'M MISSING TAIWAN!!

台灣平溪火車旅遊.. 真的是太過分了!! 菁真的好想吃芋圓啦!! (真的受不了, 為甚麼菁每次看食尚玩家總是得流口水收場) 真的好想台灣小吃.. 菁桐的太子賓館真的好像好悠閒, 好復古.. 即使菁是素食者,但能吃的東西還真的很多啦.. (真的快受不了了, 口水快流到地了) .. 菁桐的鐵路便當好好吃喔 (看起來)!! ..
真的是夠了! 菁會經得起台灣的誘惑!! 不能被誘惑打倒.. 不能回去!! 菁不是台灣人!!! ... 只是.. 菁真的想吃芋圓..

... come to think of it.. i really pity my future husband (if any).. if i ever get any food craving during pregnancy, he better get his taiwan air tickets ready.. i cannot imagine how strong my craving would be than it is now.. oh my goodness.. i really pity the poor guy.. ahhaaa..

19 Feb 09 - i love my son hugo :)

can i tell u i had a long day? not becos i had a lot of work to do, but cos i did a lot of travelling.. from south (work) to north (daycare), north (home) to south (cgm) all within 2hrs.. then back to north (home).. all the bus travelling that's tiring me out..

people ask me why do i take all these 'efforts' to send and pick my son up personally when i could ve asked my family who arrive home earlier to do so... why do i fight against time and the awful peak hour traffic just to be on time for my son.. simple reason - i love my son.. all these tiring journeys and sacrifice of sleep are nothing, as long as my son is happy and he wont feel as if he's been abandoned.. watching him sleeping besides me now, nothing.. simply nothing else matters.. (he's been so tired after school that he's sleeping so soundly)...it's really very comforting..

sometimes i do wonder why do i love him so much, or why he loves me so much.. the moment he came into my family, he has chosen me to be his 'guardian' sister.. he's so attached to me.. even though bosco was the one who brought him back, but ... on the contrary.. with true honesty.. hugo does not like bosco.. it's quite funny - everytime bosco is in my house or room, hugo will avoid the place/room with him.. i've always thought it's bcos bosco dun spend enough time with him to build the bonding.. but.. perhaps cos hugo has always been very protective of me.. to the extend that he might have known bosco will hurt me, hence his hostility.. well, this is only my speculation..

the fact is - my son is very protective of me. yes, he is small in size, but trust me, when he's fierce, he's really fierce.. i was taken aback when i saw that facet of his one day when someone attempted to hit in my direction.. he so wanted to bite the man, oh my, my son was really THAT fierce.. dont worry, on normal days he's a sweet black angel (at least to me-my mum says he'll bully her when i'm not around.. haha.. he's very smart, right?)..

sometimes i wonder if he's my guardian angel too.. he is so 'designed for me' - to accompany me, to protect me.. making me laugh, comfort and cry with tears of joy with his silly smile, silly games and his infamous 撒嬌.. he never asks any of my family to play with him except me (my mum says so).. every day he's just waiting for me to come back.. i cant tell you how 'destined' we are but we are.. me and my son..

in fact, my son does not ask for hug or any form of pamper from any of my guy friends who visited my house.. even when bosco's around, he prefers to play by himself.. (all along we've known hugo to be pro-female, not male).. but.. there's this friend.. my mum was the first to notice - my hugo actually went up to him and asked for stroking.. that was really the first time we saw my son doing that.. frankly, i was surprised too.. well, i know he is a good man, good guy.. but i have my reasons..
OK, 1 good man had been sniffed out.. let's await and see who is the blessed one hugo will choose.. to be chosen to be his foster father.. my son, my hugo, my guardian angel..

17 Feb 09 - My child,my pet

what do you think of someone who regards his pet as his son/daughter?

i have this friend who is not a 'pet-lover', as so she claims and insisted. ironically, she has to face the ultimate test of patience and love cos she has just been given a very young puppy as a pet. i was actually very surprised that she would even agreed in the first place.. but anyway, the situation as it it now.. she is very upset with the little one, jumping mad with its teething and 'natural' behaviour..cant wait to get rid of it.. no matter how and what i try to console and comfort her, she simply insist she is not the animal person.. cant wait to get rid of the little one, just cos she cannot stand his natural animal behaviour

i can understand her frustration, afterall it's really not easy for a non-pet lover to have a pet, let alone a very young puppy. (if she ve asked me,i'd advise her to get a trained pet, instead of a totally new and untrained one).. but no matter what, since you have bought the little one, he is your commitment! to you, he's just a dog - a small part of your big and colourful world; but to him, YOU ARE HIS WHOLE WORLD! i dunno abt you people, but i'm strongly against people 'trying out' with pets! since young, i cannt stand people 'trying out' pets, and then when the bonding seems to fail, they simply discard them. hey, look! in case you do not have a sensitive heart, ANIMALS HAVE! they are far much sensitive for love and care than you! to you, they are just 'another little life', just like any other pests like ants, cockroaches.. but hey! dogs and cats just do happen to have a higher intelligence! they can experience depression, joy, and even worry, just like humans! are you saying we human are just like pests? (which i agree - some of us do)

ok, some of u may say i'm bias cos i've my son and have been an animal lover all life.. but have you ever try to put yourself into the shoes of these pets? yes - they are cute when they listen to you. but have you ever listen to your parents so well? even if you are born filial, have you never done anything wrong? let's face it! no one is perfect, so is every creature on earth. i believe as just humans are meant to polish human, God also gives human these animals to cultivate our love and patience.. we have the responsibility to love and care for every life He has created.

as for the qn - regarding pet as child, my stand is unless you commit yourself into taking care of your pet, you can never experience the joy and pain of being its 'foster' parent. Once you are into this bond with it, it will be your pet child even if you already have a human child. ... no word i say can bring you to this realisation of pet-child bonding, unless you experience it yourself.


(btw, i NEARLY got into a heated argument with this friend.. if she keeps insisting she is just not the person, she wont even willing to try to step out.. nothing will change if a person keeps doing the same thing)

16 Feb 09 - Daycare for Hugo

Recently something ‘big’ really been occupying my mind.. I need a daycare for my son!

Can you imagine it? It’s literally as tedious as finding a kindergarten for my son.. First, the location must be right – within my area, so I can drop him before my work and pick him up again after work. Second, the ‘nanny’ must be right – gentle and firm, so I entrust my son with him. Third, the environment must be right – my son must be able to mingle with his friends. And finally, the price must be right. Then I cant imagine how freaking good this dog-sitting business is! I called all adverts I can find online! 40% away from AMK, 20% price not right, 20% ‘FULL HOUSE’ and I’m left with the 10% who have to get back to me after confirming their current schedule. Can you believe it! These people are just comfortably staying at home with such lovable dogs, and they are earning such good business! Mind you, some of them are not even living on landed property!

My head is so full with all these searching for my son and reports at work that I want to scream: I just want someone to take care of my son while I’m at work!! And I don't’ want boarding school for him!! My son must be able to come back after school to sleep with me!!!

Why the sudden plan to send him to daycare?.. it’s a long story.. dun ask me now… with my cough and everything, I can and I will snap at you if u try to probe further!

... finally my church-mate gave me a great place.. got to bring my hugo to see if he likes it later.. got to go.. let u know later..

15 Feb 09 - Seven Pounds

one thing good about being sick.. i get to stay at home, 'forced' to catch up with those shows i've wanted to watch but time was not in my favour.. honestly i dun even know what had i been busy with..

who says 'seven pounds' is not good show? when i wanted to watch it, i got so many 'bad' reviews fr friends... finally.. i get to watch it.. on my sick bed.. i cried.. cried like never before.. what a great show! who cares about others, i give him 4stars! what a great plot! wonderful simple story! i cant believe how can anyone have bad reviews on such great show! what a simple story, no matter how unrealistically noble it seems...

has any of us appreciate life as Ben or shall i say, Tim, did? besides our dear Lord Jesus, Tim really appreciates life as it is.. he tried to help others life with all the life he has.. a bit dramatic perhaps, cos he's simply too smart (MIT grad) and too rich (spacecraft engr) to start with.. if not for the tragedy loss of his wife, perhaps he's just like any of us - taking life as it is -for granted... yes, he killed himself to save the others on his list. but hey, his remosefulness reflects how much he loves his wife.. when one gives up his joy of living, how many of us will actually plan into such details to give this 'joyless' life a continuation? the beauty of life is not about ourselves.. not even about our loved ones.. but abt giving life a continuation to those whom you do not know.. those who are living on their edge each day, treasuring every tick of the clock with such great thanksgivings, yet wondering will they ever get to hear the next tick..

dun ask me why.. i just cry... thank God for such great inspiration, for such great reminder on life.. thank You, God..

Anthing Under the Sun

hey people..
you know what i do when i'm bored and doing nothing, right? i went Facebook.. and out of curiousity, i went to see his profile *trust me, it's really curious, ok!* he actually started a blog! haha.. a blog! i dunno if it's 'inspired' by my diary.. but his blog is quite good - here, take a look no harm done. http://auts09.blogspot.com/ (doraemon, you shld see it has some interesting info for a programmer like u)

from his entries, he's still good in his languages.. which is good.. if you discover abt him (people dun be judgemental, he's a nice guy actually), he is quite up-to-date on his current affairs.. which is another good point.. hard to find a guy like him these days..

14 Feb 09 - break needed

celebrated my son's birthday.. he's so happy.. supposed to go attica to claim my bottle of champagne after service.. ended up resting at home cos the dizzy spell caught me and it's advisable to stay at home lest i faint (again?)..

staying at home, feeling helpless sick... i thought of him.. missing him?? it's been a long while since i thought of him outside prayers.. i guess he must be spending his 1st valentine's with his gf today.. and i'm spending mine nursing my body and mind.. how did i spend last vday? it should be more 'unbearable' last yr, but i survived it.. how did i do it? what did i do?.. i've completely forgotten..

i know vday is a gd day to be out for singles' events, but i just want to be alone..
my bi-annual travel is due now.. i know cos i need a break badly.. not that i've been overworked (i actually dun mind being overloaded) but i just feel like going out.. ok, i know i've not been going out domestically, but i'd still prefer to go out abroad, ya?.. but where? flipping the papers, nowhere entices me.. not even my all-time favourite Spain.. i even thought of joining package tours, but where? ... to make matter worse, can my present condition take the travel strain? ... i really need a break...


(for singles out there, fyi, Britain's Roman Catholic Church is advising lovelorn singles to direct their 14 February requests for love to St Raphael, rather than St Valentine. St Raphael is the patron saint for happy encounters and it is to him those fearing the Valentine's post should properly direct their prayers.)

10 Feb 09 - I Fainted! finally!!

hey people i had a NEW experience today! totally scary yet awesome.. ahaa
i FAINTED! yes, you read it correctly i fainted! for the first time in my life, i actually experience what it feels like to faint.. my knowledge on fainting is from Jen who was always 'faint-able' during bus rides.. finally my first-hand experience of fainting!

last night i was not feeling well, yet being stubbornly 'strong', i was still trying to pull myself up for morning prayer meeting and work.. then something tells me to let it go, just rest for today.. hence i am on medical leave today, due to some flu virus.. *you people better take care!* the whole of my shoulders and neck ache so much i can hardly turn my head, let alone the bad cough that's irritating my nose and throat. Cos of my medical history, i never try to underestimate a simple cough - cough can be my deadly trigger.. . seen doc, took medicine and went to sleep for 7hrs straight!

the moment i woke up, i knew i was still not feeling very well.. tried to get to kitchen for my dinner.. then i saw some lights.. at first they were just stars.. just bright small lights around.. then as i pressed on, walking slowly.. the lights got bigger.. then i saw this iris-shaped light.. so bright!.. then i collasped.. i know i've fallen, onto the floor.. i heard a 'thump' sound before i realised my mum was slapping me back to consciousness... so that is what if feels like to be fainting!! wow! what a new experience!! (i was just telling my friend that i dun have 'pre-sickness' sympton, ie fever, headache; when i'm sick i really sick it all out! i am so happy i fainted.. ahaha.. )

when i am able to sit up, after all the Milo drink and sugar, i laughed.. i really laughed and told my mum it's so fun.. *my mum was really worried* you should see her face as she scolded me being 'crazy'.. dont worry.. i'm ok now... feeling much better.. dont' worry, ya? be happy for me, cos i just had my FIRST EXPERIENCE of fainting! awesome!

7 Feb 09 - Do you know what exactly do you want?

"do you know what exactly do you want?" - a common question i'd pose to people ard me.
be it for new job or life partner, i believe one should always pause, seriously think through and decide what he/she wants in life. it's very easy to fall into the trap of complaining. we complain all the time. frankly, there's every thing to complain in everything (afterall nothing is perfect) but .. what is it that we truly desire? to truly understand what we truly yearn for in life, i believe we have to stop our pace in this rat race, lest we really become one of the rats. take a pause, be still and really+surely know what you want, and when you have decided, you can specifically put them into our Father's Hands. trust me, there's power in praying with focus! once you 'locked' your target, stay focused and trust in God, our loving Father will never shortchange you! trust me, when God answers prayers (which He eagerly desires to do so!), His answer comes in ABUNDANCE! nothing you can do to make Him 'discount' His blessings for you!

with focus, we can see our vision clearly hence keeping us in track of our purpose.
few mths ago, i fell into the trap of complaining about my job, even tempted to resign.. but i thank God that my vision is clear, so i could stay focused and resisted the temptation for 'greener fields'.. i have everything i prayed for in my environment here - great caring boss(though she's lady boss), great team and great corporate culture.. though job is not as fantastic as before, but nothing brings greater joy than to walk in your calling.. Unless God gives me a new calling, God moves, I move. :)
one of my friends had been changing jobs for past 2yrs.. now that she's resigning again, it's very 'normal' that i pose this question to her as a HR practitioner, as a friend. how can God bless you with what you want, unless you know what you want? do you know He can bless you with millions of good jobs, but yet none can bring you joy until you know what your happiness is?

similiarly for relationship.. i know of some guys like to date a few ladies at same time to explore future opportunities. i can really beat the person up if he tells me he's trying out relationship with another person! if you want to 'try out' a relationship, please go and start relationship with hamsters or even rats! they are experimental specimens, humans are not! i firmly believe one has to be focused in his/her life partner requirements. otherwise, anyone of opposite gender will fit the bill! be wise - know what you want so you wont be caught in a dilemma of fulfilling 'relational obligations' when you should be enjoying the relationship! then again, if ur expectations are not SMARTER, and you still insist, perhaps your true happiness is really on the wait itself.. at least you are happy waiting for your perfection.

personal experience tells me there's power in prayers when one chooses to be still, and in everything by earnest prayer+thanksgiving+meditation, let the requests be made known to God. know what you want and trust God to lead! can you imagine - if a farmer is to scatter all sorts of seeds in all sorts of ground, what kind of harvest will he gather and what will be the quality of harvest? it's not that i'm of 'high expectations' but i know and i know God has that someone for me which only he can fulfills my expectations. time and again, my eyes are opened to a more defined vision whenever i feel it's not possible. not that i'm playing hard-to-get, but why hinder others from their true happiness when i know they dont belong to me?



Phil4:6-8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Meditate on These Things. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

2 Feb 09 - Thank God and thank you!

cant tell u how happy i am today - really very happy!

went into my FB i was surprised to see so many greetings *thanks to the birthday reminder function!* i'm so so blessed~.~.. and to add more blessings, my good friends from taiwan called to wish me happy birthday!! I'm so so so so happy! I miss them so much! Joanne has just returned to Taiwan for CNY, and our Mr Kai is forever the joker.. though it's just a phone call, the hype of my birthday blessings just got higher and higher..

how did i spend my birthday? well, i had it well spent at a wake.. yes, a WAKE.. demise of a good friend's granny.. *i'm not that supersitious, neither is she* just want to see if she's coping it well, afterall this is a LIFE EVENT (though not a favourable one) compared to my annual event.... we had such fun chat at our table (i know her brothers too).. what an extraordinary way to spend birthday!

interesting conclusion - the top birthday wish is for me to be in a good and Godly relationship, ie life partner.. (even my 2 buddies called me personally to wish me that! even asked me to disclose my requirements so they can join in prayers for me!!) How anxious are these people to sell me off, really.. and when they knew i'm planning to spend my birthday with no celebration but at a wake, my dear Alec got even more anxious.. i know it's a good chance for the guys to ask me out, but hey - birthdays are meant to spend with family, close friends, and perhaps with that special someone, right? moreover, i'm not in favour of 'trying out' someone... i dont want to give false hope and might hinder them to pursue their happiness.. *i'm a very focused person, hahaaa*

nevertheless, i really had such great fun and blessings this birthday (3days in a row).. I love you people!! I thank God and thank you for all your friendships and love!

2 Feb 09 - My Greatest Birthday Present EVER!!

I lazed on my bed this morning.. Half awaken to know it's MY BIRTHDAY~ the reality only creeps in when my son came in to get me up.. My birthday!! Haha… It's my 3rd day of birthday~ (Sat was my lunar birthday + celebration with my close cg members , yesterday was everyone's birthday(人日) + celebration with my family and relatives and today is my birthday again! + celebration with my colleagues) boy, it sure lifts my spirits up!!

Received 11 birthday greetings on my mobile, started from 0003hrs this morning and still coming in.... (they are so 'Kiasu' - I was already sleeping with my son when their sms came in last night).. In office, my colleagues blessed me so much too.. One of them sang 'Happy Birthday' song to me; another greeting came all the way from Australia – my dear ‘hard to please’ colleague! (he really surprised me with his greetings! He knows my birthday!!) .. Why am I working on my birthday? Well, cos we are having 撈魚生 and catered lunch later?i can save money on lunch and supportting my dear welfare committee, right?? Esp I'm so 'PR', I must make sure everyone knows it’s my birthday today..ahhaaa... (Richie - see I support you so well!) .. Or maybe cos I'm expecting some presents from them.. :P

But in the midst of all best wishes and blessings, my greatest present is from my old old buddy - Ziwei. He really dropped a BIG present in my face! Jelaine is PREGNANT!! Haha.. You cannot imgaine how elated I am when he disclosed to me! I was practically smiling, laughing from cheek to cheek at my desk - people started to think I'm on drugs this early morning! I'm really so high!! I'm so happy for them!! What a GREAT BLESSING to them, and GREAT NEWS on my birthday! I really cannot contain my joy~! (you know I can be quite emotional) (Ziwei- don't worry you are not the emo one :P) I'm freaking happy, overjoyed to be promoted to 'Auntie' haha.. (see- I told you I'm 'high', so happy to be called Auntie).. Why auntie? Cos frends of dad n mum are usually 'Aunties' and 'Uncles', aren't they? Haa.. This is the most felicitous news of all!! MY GREATEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!

*******

Thank you, all you people! This is really my BEST birthday ever!! 30th birthday, 3days of birthday, and the most memorable of all!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!
