20 going on 21

Dear diary,

It’s 22nd April!
-A reason to celebrate – my blog’s anniversary, Earth Day and last but not least, My Birthday.

I started this blog 2 years ago, my first post was about my 19th birthday. Then after a while I turned 20. Time flies and now I am officially 21! I didn’t really plan much for it. All I did was named my blog after my birthdate and added a countdown widget to my sidebar.

On 22nd April, I reached the office 10am-ish. Was supposed to go on birthday leave (in Nuffnang – if your birthday falls on a weekday, you get a day off.) But, i simply have too much work that I’ve to skip my birthday leave, so boss tim said I can come in to the office a bit later.

As usual, I walked to my table and guess what ????????

This is what I saw!

I remember my reaction was: screaming – laughing – screaming. I felt very amazed and surprised because I didn’t expect today to be like this at all. I thought it’s just a normal workday that the whole world would forget about my birthday!

Then tim and robb started to snap pictures of me being in the state of excessive exhilaration.

Was very happy too see bouquet of flowers, chocolates, birthday notes and …. a pink bra (the size a bit too small though.lol.) ! btw, the pink bra is from Yee Hou and Nicholas!! TQ very much! I wonder how does it feels like for 2 guys to go buy a pink bra?

That whole day I smell flowers – feels very very good! it doesn’t seem like a workday at all.

One is from Huai Bin and the other is from “Secret Admirer”.

Thank you very much huai bin!! The Godiva truffles taste like heaven!

Thank you very much to secret admirer too!

The flowers are beautiful!

And after reading my birthday coverage from here, here and here, I bet you guys are waiting for me to reveal who’s this secretive guy right! (could be a girl, who knows)

Yee Hou assumed that I bought the flowers myself, the others in the office assumed that it’s my mom! T_T

Hmmph, i love to imagine that the secret admirer is a guy!

Still can’t figure who’s the secret admirer though – but here are 5 facts I perceived about him:

1. He is a guy – just tell me he is!
2. He knows me pretty well – because the roses are pink, there’re 21 of them. i.e. he knows I like pink; he knows i’m turning 21.
3. He has a job. If not how to afford flowers like that.
4. He reads my blog – since he knows where i work!
5. He loves daisies!

Looks like the above-mentioned are very general facts huh! Will find out who’s he and update you along the way!

For the rest of my day….

12:30 pm
Met up with clients for lunch at Jarrod & Rawlins, together with tim and nic.

The steak is freakkkiing good!!

2pm
Back to work – swamped.

4pm
Still swamped – but got birthday wishes here and there (sms/msn) that cheered me up!

8pm onwards

Supposed to go for birthday dinner with friends @ Jarrod & Rawlins Cap Square – but since I just went in the afternoon – hence, change plans to Garden Lifestyle Cafe @One U.

My babes gave me presents…which makes me think they ‘researched’ me well enough by reading through my blog posts.

Chin Li, EE and Jia Hui gave me pink tech stuff! A pink iPhone casing and pink webcam. They remembered I mentioned I want a pink webcam!

iPhone is now pink!! It’s a damm happy thing!

Me & EE

Jia Hui & Me

Yuki, Janice, Zjo Zjo & Wan Ying + Gege & Hui Luan (Not in the picture)

They gave me L’Occitane hand cream and fragant touch! And it’s Cherry Blossom! Which I once blogged about it here. TQ very much, I’m very touched!

After a while, they started to do their own stuff!

And to my surprise……..

Love ya all!!!A cake made of durian pancakes!!
So touched that you all read about it from here!

This is quite a nice picture of zjo zjo and myself!

Yuki & Me

Janice & Me

Why are all the pics in my camera showing the side profile!!

All in all, I wanna thank everybody for not forgetting my birthday – for wishing me through SMS/MSN/Facebook/Commenting on my blog/Commenting on others’ blog/Phone calls.

You guys have made full use of technology … bravo!

Your wishes made this my best birthday ever! :) *in tears of joy*
