Adrian, You are Older

Sorry SamL have not been updating recently cause was feeling a bit down lately and didnt seem to have anything blog-worthy. Thats the perfectionist in me talking : )

Well today is my birthday.

Started off my day with 3 sms that came in one after the other. They were from my extended family in WRPF. Ad (representing the Yip family) Mrs Ong (representing the Ong family, thanks for the OP pouch) and Cynthia


Other sms greetings from Dr Sim, my shepherds Simon & Rinda, JoSeah, OCBC (ya the bank, some advert LOL) CC (who is on leave today), Lim Chee Guan, mythumb (who gave me Psalm 23, the Psalm the Lord gave me during my LiJiang trip as well as Silent Retreat), jasllq, PCK, Joshy (who thot i'm 39) and Barnabas Ramesh.



Turk Tay sms me saying I was on his mind and he is praying for me. I'm so blessed that God initiated a birthday greeting all the way from Turkey.


The guys from my dept are the best.



When I reached office, my 21 year old colleague happily n loudly greeted me "Adrian u r 36 today!" (I'm still known as Adrian in the working world. Y? cause "Adrian" is on me birth cert)

My next door neighbour in office gave me a pink Jim Thompson tie from Bangkok and God's blessing.

I have been quite stressed lately, resulting in me starting the week quite painfully with cold sore. It's gonna take a while to heal, so I wont be enjoying my meals as much. Anyway, my guys know I'm a Jap food freak so we went Sakae Sushi for lunch. We ate so much, almost enough to get a free discount card. LOL

In the afternoon, they surprised me with a very nice and nutty Hotel Intercontinental cake with the wordings "Adrian, You are Older" LOL
I was a bit worried for the cake cause there are like 9 burning candles on it, 3 big and 6 small candles.

They then shocked me with a present. It was a Braun Buffel wallet. That was one of three things I asked God for for my birthday this year. It was as good as me choosing it myself. : )

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Decided to meet some long lost friends for dinner this year, without telling them its my birthday. EW says cant make it, got bday dinner to attend. Interesting, someone else born on the same day.

So met KO only. Called to say I'm late. "Nevermind I got bday present to buy." I was thinking, "Good at least someone remembered" Alas, its for her colleague whose bday is today. So she also forgot.

After dinner, I told her about my bday n she went "I thot its your bday but wasnt sure" Well its a sign that I have been neglecting my friends.

When I reached home, checked my email. RT from Chicago sent me birthday greetings when GT, who introduced RT to me, forgot.

Well I missed some greetings from some friends but to those who remembered, thanks for remembering, you're definitely on my Christmas list. : )

Oh ya I have just been reminded, Jo elMo called me at 1am, trying to wake me up, but I slept thru his call c".)
