Haha another sleepless night..but this time for different reasons altogether:) I am speechless..with thanks for the wonderful people in my life, and for the incredible surprises they brought to my doorstep this special day:)




Right after my last post, cindy called me to wish me happy birthday:) then she went on to ask some suspiciously weird questions involving what I had planned for the last hour before I turned 21..being the daft person I am, I didn't expect what was in store for me until she told me "Walk out your front door now." Haha the last thing I expected was a HUGE bunch of balloons floating over the top of the hedges in front of my gate:) And the next thing I knew I could hear cindy and xinli's characteristic crazy laughter:) Thanks so much guys! They were wielding a chocolate truffle cake and the balloons and singing the birthday song in the dark:) And they 'forced' me to invite them in cos they had brought the cake and candles but no lighter:) I also had to endure wearing a furry pink birthday tiara for a few kodak moments..but know that I loved and cherished every moment guys:) Loved the surprise and I love you both so much:)


I didn't think the night could have gotten any better but it did:) Haha I was still laughing over the night's events with cindy and xinli at my dining room table when my doorbell rang..I opened my front door but couldn't see anyone outside..but as I neared my gate I caught sight of another little something floating over the top of my gate..haha it was gloria, ollie & LM! Armed with a BIIIIG chocolatey cake:) (And I really mean BIG --I had to use 3 big tupperware boxes to store the remains of the cake in the fridge) haha oh man. I was so touched:) Anyway I invited them in...and I found that cindy and xinli had already whisked all the dirty plates & remains of my first little party into the kitchen:) Haha their logic was that they wanted my second group of birthday surprisers to think that they had successfully been the first group to wish me happy birthday:) Anyway cindy & xinli left soon after to leave me with ollie, glowie & LM..thanks so much guys..I really don't know how else to say how touched I am by all your efforts:)




Anyway ollie, gloria & LM ended up staying till about 2..haha the big big cake turned out to be the famous chocolate banana cake from secret recipe:) Never knew it was famous but it did taste quite good:) I was quite stuffed though..I had a total of 3 slices of different birthday cakes from 3 different groups of friends in a span of 12 hours!Not to mention the dim sum buffet just before that. Haha oh and special thanks to ollie for wrapping up my present soo nicely:) must have taken a lot of time & your creative juices..


THANK YOU girls:)


So then I returned to my room at the end of the festivities, feeling sleepy yet hyped-up at the same time:) And I saw yet another surprise waiting for me on my desk:) Thank you dear:)


And also thanks to pips, chee, ruth, suriya, JB for the late-night bday wishes:)
