Hole In The Pocket..

Just came back from my holiday in Bangkok. Spent a little more than what I expected. Nothing new, since that happened the last time I was there too. I spent every single cent I had the last time. At least this time I had some left over. The thing is, when unpacking, I realised that half the shopping are all meant for other people. We need to make a new rule about shopping for souveniours.

Anyway...

The trip was okay. Apart from small, normal squabbling between family members, undecisive moments under hot scorching sun, some unfriendly bitchy encounters, and conned money, it was quite a memorable trip. We had our fair share of laughter and light hearted bonding sessions too.

Maybe I might write about the trip a little more when I'm in the mood....

Right now, tired, back-aching, gotta think about work later...

Prepping for Bangkok~

I am feeling a little anxious. Everytime I'm preparing for a holiday I feel that way. Though I'm well trained to pack and unpack, but somehow when its for personal holiday, packing just feels different. So worried that I might forget something.

First time going overseas with my family. First time without my father. First time I'm gonna be responsible for a family trip. I feel tension. But I try not to show it. I hope we'll have a good time and perhaps catch up on some bonding session which is way overdue...

*heart pounds with excitement*

It's gonna be a long trip away again. Wish YOU didn't have to work....

Gone Birthday Gone..

2nd July 2008...

My birthday came and gone...

Its amazing how fast the world evolves around you. Even if you stopped whatever you were doing right now, the clock is still ticking, the world is still turning.

I had an early birthday celebration this year. Was back in KL the weekend before and had dinner with my family. Then Nic took me out to another dinner the following night and we had a bubbalicious shrimp time (we dined in at Bubba Gump, but I think Nic didn't enjoy his main course as much, so maybe I'm just speaking for myself). We went home after that and had a mini-sing-a-long session to the cheesecake my mommy bought for me.

That was cake No.1.

Then I came back to Singapore, had some dinner with my housemate Bernard. Mandy came home that night too, and she bought me another birthday cake! So sweet. I got another chance to make a birthday wish.

That was cake No.2.

Then I left for work on my birthday. Some of my colleagues knew about it. One of them even bought me a cup cake! What a treat.

That was cake No.3 (sort of).

Then when finished working, everyone was gathered in one area and guess what? There was another birthday cake sitting there for me! What a surprise! Out of courtesy and politeness, I obviously had to have a piece of that cake. Not that I was ungrateful...but seriously, 4 cakes for a birthday....I don't remember so much about cakes after I started working...really...

That was cake No.4.

I had a very nice birthday. Wish I got to celebrate with my loved ones on my real day though. It would've been nice. But 4 cakes really...how lucky can I be right? Unexpected surprise celebration from my colleagues was quite a highlight too.

I feel fat from all that cake...

By the way, I love all my presents this year! *smiles*
