So it's been almost 10 days since my birthday. Haven really had time to sit down and pen this wonderful event. Also taking the time to recover from the late nights and repaying my heavy sleep debt. I should start penning before I start forgotting things and dunno what to write. So on the 16th June (bday eve), celebration of a 10 yrs virtual relationship with a friend of 17 yrs. A really eventful day thoughtfully planned by my 10 yrs ago 'Shifu'. Deeply appreciated. The best birthday I've ever had in 26 years.


16th June. He came to pick me up at 230pm and handed me a card indicating part 1/2 and in it was a username and password. Got me puzzled but he told me not to bother about that first. So we started our first programme of the day, video games at St. Games at Cathay. Similar to boardgame cafes except that it's video games. It was alot of fun. We did some quite stupid rabbid games, music, sports/dance and the best gotta be the music portion which we spent the least time on. Wasted.

Next up, dinner at Level 33 at MBFC. Nice place nice ambience not too bad food.
And then after dinner was, LION KING!! I've always wanted to catch that! Oh my he can read me like a book!! And and and!!! LION KING IS REALLLLLY GOOOOOD!! Must watch! The props and the songs, oh so good! Double thumbs up! =)
Wondering what's coming up next after Lion King as it's nearing my birthday. Absolutely no idea what's gonna happen. I didn't think it will be sending me home, at least there will be a Happy Birthday when the clock strikes 12 right? Of course it was to be a surprise so he was very secretive about it. And after much probing and with a little of my intelligence, tadah! Henderson Waves! So he brought me along the bridge and at the second wave, there he prepared those words with candles and his macbook playing the happy birthday song in mandarin and english. That's not all. I was given a part 2/2 card and this one contained an URL, www.jasmineliu.com. So now both cards fall nicely in place. Yes he bought the domain for me and did the best website and video I've ever seen. That got me in tears as I clicked through the website and watched the video. Very thoughtfully done especially for me. The amount of effort put in is just beyond words can describe. I was greatly touched, deeply. I can never express my gratitude enough for this long time friend. For always being there, rain or shine. I know this sounds cliche and as though writing autograph book, I hope our friendship can remain. Deepest thanks, my friend.

17 June. As we have decided that going forward all our birthdays will be celebrated at home with a themed party, so this year for my birthday, it's a Piglet-themed party! Everyone to come dressed like a piglet so typically just pink and striped. Dear mummy prepared this whole table of food singlehandedly as usual.
Wayne presenting his handmade card and present. He painted all the words himself.
Present from Wayne. Personalised Ralph Lauren cap. =) He saw me taking pics and said he wants to help me take pic. Check out the top middle pic taken by little Wayne! Yiyi wasn't cropped out! Ain't he talented?
 
After dinner was games time! Mei and I had initially planned to go to minds cafe as I've never been to a boardgame cafe and has been bugging her for the longest time to bring me to one. But we abandoned the idea eventually and decided to do a minds cafe at home with everyone! It was so much laughter and fun. First game was twister. Good game.
Wayne made new friends with 3 uncles. These 3 pigs, apparently a surprise mei prepared for me. Really got a surprise when they turned up at my place when we were having dinner. Earlier on mei was telling me that she ordered piglets online and hope the shipping will reach before 12. Got me puzzled and she said the piglets she ordered can't be found anywhere. Then I didn't suspect much. So it's them. Good job mei! Totally collaborated with my whole family. Usually smart me actually didn't sense anything amiss except that I thought mum cooked too much for 6 person.But since she tends to overprepare on occasions, I didn't smell anything fishy. So there, a surprise well done! So they entertained Wayne and vice versa. They played Bingo with him and it was totally hilarious!
My greatest loves. Thank you for giving me this family for 26 years and many more wonderful years to come.
Thanks guys for the guest appearance!

Special thanks to darling sis for the arrangement, for the nice balloon and for the lovely card. Love you!

After that was mahjong with the guys till 4am. That marks my fabulours birthday celebration.

Flowers and balloons I received this year. All of which I didnt get to receive them personally. First bouquet was sent to my office on the eve of my birthday. Delivery man called me and told me there was a firedrill at my office. I was on leave so i had my colleague to help me receive it. On the day itself, same delivery man called me and asked if i'm on leave again. So yeah I had to trouble my colleague again. But she said the concierge had already recognised her as my friend from the day before so when she went for lunch they actually stopped her and tell her to bring it up on my behalf. I kinda made a small name for myself in ML. And immediately after the call from the delivery man, i got another call from another florist who was already at my place but I've just left. So there, 3rd one that I didn't get to receive personally. Very surprised indeed and it felt really good. =)

Happy box from Jen Yang. Very thoughtful. In it contains a handmade birthday card which i thought was rather impressive, a princess jasmine figurine, a scented fresherner jasmine flavoured, 2 CDs and a massage card.
Some of the presents i received this year. Love them all!
Specially saved all 108 facebook well wishes. Thanks all!
I had the most memorable birthday this year. So overwhelming, so full of surprises one after another. I was indeed treated like a princess. Ever so loved and protected by many. I am so fortunate and blessed. I thank each and every one of you for being a part of my life. There's nothing more I can ask for.
