20...

So every year, on this sacred day, I'll write a little note to thank everyone who has been kind and gracious enough to remember the day I acknowledge officially that I've grown a bit older. I don't know what I've done or why I deserve so much kind attention and love (ok maybe I do, hee!) every year even though I keep changing schools and (now) countries! But here's a list of people I wish to thank this year, the year I begin life in my TWENTIES (oh my)!!

A)Birthday Party 1:
1. Sarah Bolling
2. Scott Weiner
3. Everyone else who attended i.e. my dorm mates most of whom I do not know

Ok I doubt Sarah reads this blog but if she actually googles her name one day maybe she'll find this entry and realize that I REALLY appreciate the cool party and LEMON cake!!!

B) Birthday Party 2:
1. Lijun my favorite buddy who organized
2. Shengxiang who organized too
3. Attendees like Huahua, Steph, Kao, Aaron, Karl, Shern, Lanxiu, Michelle Tan, Sheila, Andy

OK I'm very sorry if I missed people out, but the COOL SINGAPOREANS held a surprise party for me at Lanxiu's dorm (because I was doing "homework" in her room) and they brought me brownies and icecream and CHEESE cake my favorite and the girls sang me a Sammi song!! I'm about to faint from the sweetness these people are SO nice to me!!!!! And of course that pretty backpack that my buddy and the girls bought me!

C) Brunch with Buddy Lijun at Brickway's:
Honestly JunJun is the BEST buddy ever!! Not only did she organize the WONDERFUL surprise party last night, she brought me out for brunch at brickway's, a little breakfast cafe near school today!! And she was really tired from last night but she still made the effort to come out and spend time with me. We had eggs Benedict which were REALLY yummy!

D) Dinner at Spice
Had dinner once again with all the Singaporeans (the ones I know, at least) at the Thai restaurant Spice. Thanks again to SX for organising!!

E) Emails
1. HALFIE
Halfie wrote me a poem with my Royal name which made me laugh and almost choke on my breakfast!! And she of course dedicated an entry to me which was really sweet of her even though she used a rather fugly photo although to be honest how can I ever look fugly? And she owes me a present because she's too lazy to send me anything.

2. ASSTA
And of course my darling Assta who ALSO owes me a present because she's too lazy to go out shopping although honestly you don't have to buy me anything so you can spare me the agony of having to buy you something too! Honestly after 5-6 birthdays it's really hard to find stuff to buy.

3. NAT
And this ass who has been spamming me with forwarded email though they are sweet messages remembered of course!!

4. POOCHIE CHIEW
What a RARITY to receive an email from this medical menace!!! His own birthday is coming soon so HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance!!

5. MEAT LOW
Roubao has to remember my royal birth of course, since she will live in my room when she visits in less than a week! (CAN'T WAIT!!!)

F) Phonecalls:
1. MOM AND POP
Mom and Pop are the sweetest Moms and Pops ever!! Of course they gave me my wonderful angpow a long time ago but they still made an effort to call me today before leaving for work, which is really cool cos I was wondering if they would. And I think they are the only parents in the world who wouldn't mind that I spend my birthday money on a SAMMI CHENG concert ticket (more later).

2. AUNTIE ARAGOG
LOVELY aragog actually sang me A BIRTHDAY song over the phone!!!!!! And it was quite in-tune so I was most suitably impressed!! Of course I will be seeing her furry fanged face in a couple days so I will hug her to thank her in NY!

G) Cards
1. ELAINE HENG
She sent me a card with the picture of a mad cow but it's so apt! And her neat tiny handwriting is so familiar that it's oddly comforting.

2. BEATRICE LAU
Bea gave me a card right before I left at the airport and told me not to open it until today, so I actually waited!! And she had a really sweet message inside too. Such a lovely mother she is!!

H) ROOMIE
ERIN my bestest roomie put like balloons on my bed to wish me happy birthday!!

Facebook Messages:
I got like more than 20 so a bit lazy to write here but thanks everyone who bothered to leave a message even if you were reminded by the Facebook birthday reminder!

MSN Messages:
Also a couple of poeple wished me happy birthday online other than Jamie Ko (because she called me hotstuff) and Xun who had to book in and owes me gifts from like J1.

OK so I had a really busy birthday and I'm in great spirits now because well many people love me and I JUST BOUGHT my SAMMI TICKET how great is that!!!

For those who don't know yet, she's coming to Connecticut which is an hour away from Providence so I've bought my ticket and I'm SOOO going there to watch her hot show!!

But anyway, thanks everyone for this WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY! You're loved!!! And very much so.
