Life... as it unfolds: 24th birthday

I just had yet another memorable birthday.. =)

Thursday morning i woke up with smses of wishes from my parents, my aunts and my friends. went to work and got a pleasant surprise from YM, a plate of brunetti's cookies was delivered to my lab.

i had it together with a cake Lisa baked for me at morning tea. it's a norm that someone in the lab bakes for the birthday person. ;) after morning tea i went back to my desk and found a box of ferrero roche and a card - a surprise pressie from Brad!! hehe... the other exciting bit on thursday was the honours students hand in (thesis) day, the end of their torturous year. it's tradition in our dept to go to the pub to celebrate their hand in. so i went to the pub after work. was suppose to have a drink or 2 and head back home early to have dinner with joe. but.... in the end i needed him to pick me up. hehe... i wasn't drunk or anything, just didn't want to be a 'bloody idiot'. (aussie ad - drink and drive... you BLOODY IDIOT)...

my birthday dinner was specially prepared by joe. my fav noodles and cake! thank you joe! and also for the ipod nano pressie. hehe..

one dinner isn't enough for a greddy person like me so my celebration continued on to friday night. hehe... friday night 's dinner was at a chinese restaurant with a group of friends: Nancy, Marina, Lynn, Ryan, Bock, Gerry, Ip, Joe and myself. there was a lot of food, everyone was 'pa pa' (full) after dinner. After dinner we went for karaoke. =) sing, drink, laugh, go crazy! pictures!!!

before i load a heap of pictures i'd like to thank everyone that made my birthday as special as can be. my parents, sister, grandparents, aunty/uncles, cousins for their gifts, cards, smses and calls. my dear dear friends (wong, roger, han, su, waris, nasa, sarah, carol, sze kar...) in KL that called/smsed. friends in melb that wished me (n the vodka)!
