My colleagues started asking me about my birthday plans 2-3 weeks before the actual day. Simply becos they would never forget that they tried to ask me out for dinner last year, and I told them I couldn't join them cos I'm meeting my frens for my bdae cele... And so, the joke now is my bdae cele is as MAJOR as Chinese New Year, cos I celebrate 15 days... heee...
Anyway, it was supposed to be a catching up session with an ex-colleague. And so, I did not suspect anything, since I thought we agreed to cele my bdae after we all return from Vietnam... The funny thing was - when we were on our way there, my boss carried a big bag (my cake inside).. and I still asked her why she had to choose that day to bring a big bag home and it din seem like her to do such things... I even peeped inside the bag.. but it din looked anything like a cake box to me...
During dinner, one colleague suddenly became flustered and pulled me out, saying she needed to go to toilet cos she suspected she might have stained her skirt and wanted me to go with her... Although I thought the behaviour was not like her at all, I still did not suspect anything... I'm such a goon, right? hahhaa
And so, this birthday cake was a complete surprise! It was good... Not too sweet raspberry chocolate cake! From one of our vendors! heee...
Surprise 2: Another colleague hid a pressie underneath my table on Nov 30...
Surprise 3: Someone said this of me before... that I am easily touched by the little little things people do... Well, what's wrong with that anyway?
My handphone rang whole morning on Dec 1 with all the well-wishes smses - from colleagues, friends and most importantly, my good fren who's now in US... Can't wait for her to come back... And also, some friends with whom I din really stay in touch during the year... Even my ex-tuition kid msg-ed me! (nah... Jo, you have your one-second fame... heee) I'm truly touched....honest...
Some of the little gifts from my pals...
The puffies' celebration
And the puffies are not done with my cele yet... hee...
