Birthday 2010

I have the habit of writing a blog entry on my birthday every year. At least since i started a blog. This year is no different, even though this blog has gone more than a little quiet since working life has caught up with me! Since my taking on of the role of show manager for J C and Ning, life has been mad, crazy, great, upsetting at times, but awesome at the same time.

Anyway, 30 August is here again, and i am one year older.

It seems funny how we, at a young age, cannot wait to reach 21, and past that age, does not want to grow any older. I am 2 years past that age now (omg) and it doesn’t feel like i’ve been around here for 23 years yet. Hahaha!

23 years old now, one year older, and hopefully, somewhat wiser. 23 is an important age for me – since i have graduated now, from University and therefore ‘officially’ start my working life. I say ‘officially’ since i have been working since i started University and like all my friends in University liked to say, I was always a ‘part-time’ student working full time, though my official status was the other way around.

HUGE amounts of gratitude

There are so many things to be grateful and thankful for, and as i turn older, i begin to see so much more of the world, understand more and be even more thankful. There is no doubt i cannot have come to this world, survived, grew and become who i am without my parents and family. While i think i’ve been ‘guai’ enough, without going through much rebellious angsty teen years, i have no doubt i’ve been that close to make my mom want to ‘puke blood’. I’m thankful and grateful for the tremendous support that i’ve had, while choosing this unorthodox (at least to most people) choice of job, and going nowhere near what i have studied and graduated with my honours degree in.

There are two other persons, whom i’ve mentioned over and over and over (and over… well you get the idea) again, that i’ve been enormously grateful and thankful to. To Ning, whom i’m almost certain that without that fateful meeting, i might have not survived. To J C,whom opened doors for me, giving me chances that i have never dreamt before that i could have. To both, for all the counseling that happened in my most difficult period, to help me recover and walk past all that i have. Both of you were the core and most important people who helped me achieve that. My bosses, my friends, my mentors and above all, my angels.

Friends of mine, you are all my bedrocks in my life. Thank you thank you and thank you. There are too many of you to write out one by one, but in particular, XX&LM + SY&Gang.

Thankful also, to the fantastic colleague and Concept:Magic Team who is more than work, but feels like a second family!

So there it is, a wrap-up: THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!

Wishes for Birthday

Nah, i’m not going to do the Pageant Queen thing and go: WORLD PEACE! I do, however, have a couple of wishes; actually more than a couple (yes, i’m a greedy little pig when it comes to wishes), but essentially, if push comes to shove, one biggest wish. Happiness for all the people i love so much. Still greedy ain’t I? Since that covers quite a lot of things! Muahaha.

Side-tracking a bit: It’s kind of funny how i host birthdays every single wkend (hence the reason why i don’t usually eat cake – imagine how many parties i have every wk!), and when it really is my birthday, and i tell the kids, no one believes me! LOL.

Well, this kind of wraps up my birthday blog entry. Hopefully it isn’t one more year later that a new blog post appears on my blog! :p

PS. This is the first time my FB account is flooding in with b’day wishes, I’m so touched! Thanks everyone! )
