turned another year older...

every year, i would dread my birthday. if given a choice, i'd sleep on it and just wake up the day after. hmm, and i must confess, i'd feel a bit depressed whenever my birthday is just around the corner. i guess i hate getting old, huh!

what greeted me when i came in the office (after an hour and a half being late, hehehe):

at that point, i told myself...getting old isn't bad!

people greeted me as soon as i came in the office...and my phone's beeping non-stop, even getting calls abroad just to greet me. at that point, i want to give myself a hard poke in the head for hating this day...the day when people would treat me extra special =)

gifts i got:

left: from my ever thoughtful mother-in-law..she even threw in a box of yummy chocolates!
right: from Mina, my officemate's wife who i met during our recent trip

a mango top and banoffee pie from Lui. there's also my favorite peanut butter sandwich from Weng

a cake and a drawing of me. my colleagues say i look like Emily Strange when i cut my bangs months ago. good thing i am trying to grow it back now. LOL!

i took my officemates out for lunch. and guess what, my mom and sister made it! i actually asked them to come over for my birthday since I won't be able to go home to spend it with them. honestly, i still prefer spending occasions like this with my loving family instead of going out on a gimmick and getting drunk..lol!

my family checked in at a nearby hotel and this what greeted me when i came right after office:

what's inside:

yeah, i turned 31 last May 5. but i don't feel like anything have changed about me. I am still the same old, goofy me:

and i guess, i won't be changing from being like that anytime soon!

thanks my dear readers for staying with me. i know i haven't been blogging for quite a while now but whenever i visit my site, i'd see people online and leaving me messages. i hope you'd still bear with me for the next coming weeks as i get busier in the office. but i will try to update as often as i can.

i hope you won't get tired of me...and thanks for all those who greeted me on my birthday!
