The Birthday

18 - 20 aug 07

a BIG BIG thank you to everyone who helped, contributed and attended my birthday bbq and chalet last weekend. =)

thank you to:



1. khim - for going to the market early in the morning on a saturday to buy the food and potatoes. and for peeling and boiling the potatoes before bringing them to the bbq; so that all of us get to eat hot, well-cooked potatoes. =) *hugs*
2. joey and pei chin - for preparing the salad. its nice. i like.
3. mike - thanks a lot for the godiva chocolate. i really appreciate it.
4. cheng foong - for the drinks, your extremely funny sense of humour, and your constant buckling with jack.
5. jack - for the beer and your constant buckling with cheng foong.
6. jackson - for bringing the wine and cake; even though you forgot to bring the cork opener...
7. shea heng - because we share the same birthday.
8. leann - for coming even though i erm...almost forgot to invite you until i was buying the chocolate and marshmallows the day before...so so sorry.
9. martin - for part 2~!!! hahaha...part 3 is next, and we're all looking forward to it.
10. ling - for suggesting the chalet in the first place. even though you can't make it, i'm sure you know that we all miss you. especially me? we're going to make your birthday a good one. promise~!!! =)

p.s. khim's name is first because by general consent, she has done the most to make this bbq and chalet happen. the names from second place onwards are by no order of importance or contributions so erm...lets not be sensitive guys...heh?


22 aug 07

i'm always surprise when someone gives me a present. and i got 2 on my birthday.

the first one was a keychain from jackson. at the back of the keychain wrote:
"people born on this date are thinkers with a kind and compassionate nature. they can be counted on in times of emergency. an invaluable ally."

it's so true~!!! eh...maybe only because it sounds good i guess...but i like.

ling got a similar keychain from jackson too, dated september 8. it says people born on this date are "honest and dependent". hmm...brutally honest and extremely dependent on people? haha...




hung it up on my partition

the second present was from leaan. which is this little stuffed lion in a small cup.

i like the lion as it has this messy grunge look about it. placed it beside the m1 reindeer that i conveniently took from ling's desk while she was away in kluang... =x

grunge lion and x'mas reindeer


well, at least now my table looks more personalised. but no more stuffed animals on my table from now on...anymore and it'll look like a girl's desk.

besides, two is company, three is a crowd.

another surprise of the day was when soo fong, kelly and sok theng bought me a birthday cake. i was walking around the warehouse the whole afternoon and they actually waited for me until i came up at 5pm. i feel so bad that i caused them to miss the 5.10pm bus because they were waiting for me...

thanks to everyone for the fantastic day in the office, and a great closing by my three coordinators. =)

The End is The Beginning is The End

i have such a great group of friends and colleagues in keppel. i'll definitely miss every single one of them the day that i leave, when i really do leave.

somehow i don't think i'll ever have such fantastic people around me in my future jobs. maybe i'm just being pessimistic, but i'll never want to compare them with anyone else that i meet in future because you just can't compare 2 person together.

everyone is different, and any comparison will just be unfair to all parties involved.

right now, i'll just enjoy the moment and not think about what's coming next, because to live in the moment is a luxury that we don't have very often.

tired, but contented in a jaded kinda way...
