It's official, I've turned 31 yrs old yesterday and I am in shock and denial. It seems like I was having my 21st Birthday Party Bash 2 days ago !!!
Since I am here in US, I thought it would be a quiet day but my friends have certainly lived up to their standards. To begin with, Cecilia rang me on 24th night at 11.20pm US time with intentions to count down the moment with me and be the first to wish me Happy Birthday. So we spend a good 20 mins on the phone before she need to leave for lunch with her bosses. Within 2 seconds, Tricia took over the baton and we were chatting over the phone with her boss just inches away... but she was the ultimate, she count down the moment with me when it strike 12am. Soon after Tricia hang up, Eunice rang...she is the classic, she practically went to her office's bathroom and hide in a cubical and rang me. So throughout the whole conversation, I heard echos and some missed signals but no, there was no toilet flushes or any funny sound effects. I really appreciate what all the girls had done for me. I can't missed out my other friends who wished me Happy Birthday via Instant Massenger from MSN on the same day and also the well wishes emails that I received !
Thanks folks for all your efforts and well wishes. I really appreciate everything and your attempts really warm up my heart. *big big hugs to all*
In the morning, Paul left my present for me - An Ice Cream maker !!! For some of you, who know about my dream of creating homemade ice cream and perhaps maybe bring glory to it like Ben and Jerry ???!!! With secret ingredients like splashes of rum, shots of vodka and bottles of beer even ?! Since Paul had brought me an Ice Cream recipe book as well, now I can be the mad scientist.
Later in the night, he bought me to PF Chang's China Bistro for chinese food and it is YUMMY ! Apparently this place have received high reviews.(BTW it was Sommer who suggest this place for us and the place was fantastic). (Cow, I know I've told you that I'll TRY to take pictures of the restaurant and the food but the place is totally crowded and I don't want to be mistaken as some crazy spy or a hillbilly tourist, sorry to disappoint you but I've took some photos of the exterior). I was shocked when there is this dish "Singapore Street Noodles" in the menu and being a Singaporean, I have to order it. To my surprise, Paul totally love the dish. The best part of my dinner is my FIL rang on Paul's mobile phone and sing me a Birthday Song. Honestly girls, how many of your FIL will call you and sing you a Birthday song ??? I am truely touched and was giggling and have this tiny little arrogance when Paul told me his Dad never even sing him a Birthday song before *lol*
I can't forget the Birthday present my MIL bought me - Vera Vang's Princess perfume. I am touched as she remembered I adore Vera Wang ! =) Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow's dinner too, when Paul's family are celebrating my "Post" Birthday with me.
Anyway it's my 31st Birthday and I still feel strange not having my best pals to celebrate my Birthday with me. But now, I have Paul and his loving family who are celebrating it with me and they accepting me as part of their family is one of the greatest gift. So throughout my 31st years in this planet, I realised that my biggest accomplishment and comfort is knowing that I have my friends - true friends who meant the world to me, my family's support and now I have another addition, Paul & his family.
