Actually, I am begining to see major differences already but thank U for remembering my birthday and I will continue to presevere as mentioned earlier*

*HUH?????!!!!!!! What the.. How the heck did Ronald get my mobile number? Eirene said I was probably some loyal happy meal fan club since young that they remembered.. Riight.. hahaha.. I was laughing and saying no.. I am not some kid's club member of Mac. Anyway..How come just wish me? Never throw in happy meal? (Oops..) Hahaha.. *
Those were the text messages I received. Thank you everyone of you, including Ronald McDonald! It's really touching to know how many of you remembered. *Pris beams*
(At the office)> I went to work and when I reached office, Yilin the alcoholic baby of the department (She is the youngest of the dept. YET , this baby can drink like a fish I tell ya.. she drinks alcohol like as if its tap water and still show no signs of being high watsoever.. ) She came over to my desk and talked in her usual bullet-train speed.. "Hey Prissss!! happy birthday!!" as she stretched out her arms for a hug. Swwweeet! My first birthday hug!
Next, HB & Lien wished me happy birthday as well. Joel Tan (different from the Joel mentioned above.. this one is a residential garbage bin.. bottomless pit.. U get the picture) cameby my desk with a grin and said "Happy birthday Pris!!" So sweet..
My boss, Grahame wished me when he saw me "Happy birthday, little one!!" *exchange hugs* Nicest boss award goes to.... U know who!
Lil P (a.k. fondly as Patrico): came strolling into the office like a 'tai-tai' and turned running to me with arms open wide.. "Happy Birthday, PRIS!!! See I so nice.. I come in only I give you hug.. First hug!!" "Hey thanks, Patrick.. but U ain't the first" *Patrico's eyes widened* "HUH?! Who da hell beat me to it?!" -Yilin. "Okie, fine!! Hhhmmpphhh" hahaha.. Patrick is sooo cute. Shows his dramatic reactions this way... Lurve this guy to bits. (Btw.. if U are reading this.. I take back that U look like a Mongolian in Ur resume pic.. Hahaha.. just for TODAY!! But I still lurve u la.. U are great and the office is DARN QUIET without you.. I can hear myself breathe!! Come back quick!)
Liz also came and hugged me and wished me mid-work..and then soon it was lunch. After our lunch at Sakae Sushi (which Yan treated me to a free Sakae Sushi lunch.. hahaha, thanks Yan!!) and then we headed back to office. At around 3ish in the afternoon, they had a birthday celebration for both Lily & I. We were the March babies and it was my first cake. Nice!
(Fast Forward--->) Met Teresa & Jazle at partyworld. They reserved a KTV room to croak our hearts out. Eirene would joined us later and it turned out to be a crazy celebration with just 4 gals. Jazle baked me a birthday cake. An oreo cheesecake!
Oreo Cheesecake & me..
And to wash it down with Almond Milk Drink.. *slurps*
And after all that singing.. its...TIME for group pose with the cake and blow the candle!! (See me trying to pout & blow the candles?hahah..)
After blowing the candle.. I was *ahem* forced to pose with the cake and give a commercial like pose again... (as usual.. i am always giving commercial like poses.. hahaha.. camera whore... *shameless..* but .. honestly.. like I care..) Its supposedly to be like as though its those watch commercials la.. anyway, it was a crazy thought from the gals and I.. Hahhaha..fun!
Oh look.. I am only 1 years old. Riight. More like A YEAR *cough* wiser
Look at the beautiful butterfly birthday (okie.. that's a mouthful) card that Teresa made for me!! Yes.. I REPEAT (if ur eyes went tooooo fast..) MADE!!! Isn't it lovely? Its so lovely I had to hide my face behind it! Ok.. I was just being cheeky la.
Okie.. don't be shocked at the next picture of me.. My trap was open real BIG man!! I was screaming.. REALLY. Screaming when I opened the nicely wrapped present from both Eirene & Teresa.. Why???? Cos I wanted to buy that bag from Teresa's bag shop.. I was taking a long time to decide what colour should I get (cos they have it in PINK and blue) and I was in a dilemma and when i finally settled for a BLUE bag... Teresa slyly conned me that the bag was sold out and so was the PINK one. So when I opened it.. I was screaming cos I really thought it was sold out and was a tad disappointed.
Oh yah and they threw in a nice blue purse as well to match the bag. Eirene said to me .. "Blue is the New Pink!" hahaha.... Soooo notti right??? They conned me and yet surprised me!! Did I mention that I love surprises? hehehe.. Very sweet and (notti!!) of them to surprise me like this. *Pris.. touched*
We sang out hearts out and I was MADE (Yes.. made la.. though I am also quite willing to be sporting and play along) to sing and DANCE as if I was throwing my personal concert.. Too bad I don't have more pics and movie clips from Teresa & Eirene yet.. if not I will post some to show U how crazy we all were..All time high!! 4 gals = one hypermart..making so much noise in one KTV room. hahahaa... I enjoyed myself immensely. I truly did. And bless all of you for organising this for me.. It's really sweet and nice of you to have taken time off from work and naked me a oreo cheesecake, wrapped and made a lovely card for me. What did I do to deserve everyone of U? I really don't know. But I am thankful and grateful. Thank you for making my 26th birthday so memorable that I look forward to more birthdays with everyone of you.
