It was awesome!!

See today's my birthday.
It hasn't ended.
But it's been simply packed with pretty surprises!!

I woke up early to very many smses waiting for me on my phone. Then I went to book my duck tour for 4pm. So the entire morning I was replying my bday messages and being thick skinned and collecting my messages etc etc. I by 11am I was really starting to get impatient cos I couldn't wait for my duck tour. Luckily Charissa sent me flowers in the midst of all that to distract me!!

At lunchtime, the sky became overcast and I was getting super worried that it'd rain and ruin my duck tour. My next couple of hours were dreadful cos I was just so so worried about my duck tour! Half the time I was thinking, 'Dear God, I'm gonna go to church to pray for wonderful weather but that's after I need it so will you please give it to me now and I'll pray for it later.' True enough, when I got to Suntec (where the tour starts), the sky cleared up and it's the usual hot and sunny Singapore. Someone out there is looking out for me!!

Duck tour was awesome!! My sister and I sat on this amphibious vehicle painted in the face of a duck named Katrina. It drove out of Suntec like a bus, turned into a small exclusive bumpy lane, and SPLASHED into the river to become a boat!! It was simply amazing. The pictures came out pretty, and everybody there was so nice and all....

My sister and I went for mass and then met my dad, mum and bro for dinner. After much drama, we finally got to Long Beach, Marina Bay where I had my bamboo clams, chilli crab, kangkong sambal belachan, drunken prawns, almond jelly, birthday 'peaches'... I was ridiculously happy lah, really.

We were on our way home for our dessert (which was my yummy bday cake), and I thought - what a nice end to an awesome day. I'm so happy I don't think I can be happier.

Little did I know.

My dad opened the letterbox and from afar, I saw the giant parcel. It HAD to be mine. It's my birthday! The handwriting all over my giant parcel was unmistakably Jason's. It's THE parcel!! My elevator ride home was unbearably long. I couldn't wait to get home to open my parcel labelled 'cards and chocolates'.

The first thing I saw were the HIPPOS!!! You know those super cute and yummy hippos that Kinder makes... Unfortunately they were squashed and they looked hilarious. I'm sure they're just as yummy. I took the other things out - Diane's card, Florence's card, Jason's card, another card from Diane, Florence, Ramesh, Austin and Bryant...

And GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!!
I found this goofy message in Jason's handwriting 'I know your present look sucky now, but turst me, you will enjoy it.......' lots more instructions, and TAADAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

2 TICKETS TO THE PHANTOM!!!!!!
The one I've so wanted to watch and haven't been able to because I couldn't afford it!!

OK I cried my tears of joy. My andrenaline levels were like pumped up so high at the eleventh hour... (do we get heart attacks from these kinda feelings?) It's almost midnight I haven't cut my cake yet.... Gonna do that too....!!!

I'm and crazy happy mad wreck.

And all I can say is thanks. To everybody who's made my birthday so so special with your phone calls, messages and all other gestures.

Thank you.
