My last 20s birthday

Due to some technical error, this year my birthday appeared as “Dec 4th” in many of my friends’ calendar. Suddenly I received many greetings and wishes over Facebook on the 4th. Though I tried explaining to some of the “early birds” that my birthday has yet to come, more greetings just kept coming in. Anyway it’s a blessing in disguised. Thanks to that I have been receiving greetings and wishes throughout the whole week.

Other than Facebook greetings this year’s birthday was also quite eventful. Janet surprised me with a very early birthday present, followed by two little presents by Huwi Yin during our annual birthday get-together. There are dinner appointments almost everyday. Celebrations also extended - my lunchmates threw me a surprise cake today (3 days past) which is lovely~

This year’s birthday there’s actually some mixed feelings – received some not-so-good news about a friend’s health, just around one month ago my former manager left the company and the world losing a great leader (Nelson Mandela). At the same time I also recalled the two birthdays in the past with some fond memories. Guess you get more sentimental as you grow older…

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, glad to be on Mother Earth for another one year! Also prayers to everyone’s well being…

Once again "Happy birthday" to Huwi Yin, my dai kor in the Land of Oz (Alex) and Sek Hoe. ^^
