Now,
I'm really thrilled.

Then, dinner with family
Then, dinner with family
*At the last hour of my birthday,
I unexpectedly made two new friends
And got a surprise red packet by my mum's friend:
This' Maorie - she's 8
And actually asked for my residential and e-mail addresses!
And actually asked for my residential and e-mail addresses!
This is 5 year old Delicia -
Yes, she's so high
She kept lingering and goofing around me.
They're from Surabaya, Indonesia.
The princesses of mum's culinary student.
I can't believe I was so shy around them
That they had to strike conversations with me just to break the ice.

What an interesting way to spend my birthday.
I am looking forward to the party E412 has cooked up,
And the Sunday dinner with a troop of very special friends.
Thank You,
All of you who sent me
Very kind words and love.
Every message delivered to me is precious
[and still undeleted in my text inbox for memory's sake].
I'm amazed by those who celebrated me
Although we have not been close,
And those who I haven't really known.
In 2008,
I realise my love language has
Changed.
I used to feel really loved by words of affirmation.
So much, that I'd write and archive any encouraging words spoken or texted to me.
But over the years,
While I genuinely appreciate praises from people,
I have grown to cherish quality time with people instead.
Words, they fade away as easily as they are spoken.
But real-time spent with you,
Is definitely nothing but love -
Especially when that person lives with a tight schedule.
That's why when you spend time with him,
It is so precious.
