Blast Birthday Celebration!!!

As I always say, I am truly blessed.

My birthday started off with a really sweet birthday messages from Beanie and my best friend in the world, Pei. :)

It was a typical morning when I went to Uni for my 8am class.

I saw Andrew (my student) at the lift but didn't get to ask him where he was going because he was hiding behind Dr. Chia, our Principal!

Of course, I greeted her first instead of questioning Andrew.


Anyway, I walked to class.


But, I was so surprised to see only like 5 people in class. This is certainly not normal for this bunch of people I have for this class.

So, I asked those present where were the rest?! They didn't answer my question.



OK, 8am. Fine.



Anyway, I played a video while waiting for the rest to come in.


Then, Andrew came into class and I asked him "Where are the rest??!"


Suddenly, he shouted "Woohoo!! You guys can all come in!! Woohoo!!!"


O___O


I was so shocked and surprised!


I surely teared a little bit because I wasn't prepared for anything like that!


They all came into the room, holding the cake and singing the birthday song. :)

The cake

Preparation of my birthday card

So, Andrew was actually taking the lift to 4th floor (where everyone was hiding) to sign my card :0

One of my students told me that they actually asked everyone to turn up at uni at 7.30am to prepare for the surprise and sign the huge card. *So touched*

The birthday cake :)

I was counting the candles because I notice that it wasn't the supposed number -___-

Made a wish and blew my candles

I always joked about being Forever 18 so they decided to write "18" on the cake because they, obviously, didn't know my age. :P

Yes, the card was SO HUGE. Largest one I'd ever received to date! :)
It is as huge as my body!

I told them I wasn't good at cake-cutting so they were laughing :S

The just knew I love chocolate cake or what?!!

The beautiful bunch of students in my class :)

I told you they are a fun bunch!

Back in my office, taking a good look at the cards & gifts

They said I am the tree that they will grow with :)

And when I went back to my workstation, I saw a message that made me laugh out loud :D
*inside joke*

My sweet colleagues gave me a nice cup and a teddy bear for good use. You'll know why later!

Then, went for birthday lunch with my teammates at Atria!

Had Penang food :)

Dorris and Maha was truly in deep discussion!

While I was just having a good time

Told ya!

Then, Winnie (admin) came and whispered to me that there's a flower bouquet waiting for me downstairs at the reception!

So, I quickly went downstairs to sign it off, but had to leave it at the reception before bringing it back to my workstation after lunch.

I love the bouquet. My favourite flowers.

Isn't he sweet?

Zee & Anna gave me a gift too :)

Yep, now my iPhone blings! :D

Then, we went for a meeting at 4pm, when we put our teddy bears into good use!
Now you see why! We had so much fun. Everytime!

After work, went to Alexis@Midvalley for a girly dinner :)

Pizza and Pasta night

We all prefer the pizza by Alexis. The pasta was just mediocre.

Then, Wendy whipped out the cupcakes JC bought from a charity event!
Aren't they cute?!!!

In deep photo-taking mode.

I love this shot :)

The Pavlova cake (on the right) is a must have @Alexis!

:)

It was so good to come home with a box of birthday cupcakes, a bouquet of Lilies and sweet memories.

I had a blessed birthday.


Good wishes from your family & friends.
Endless facebook birthday wishes.
Surprises throughout the day.
Pampered and feeling so so loved.
Girly dinners.

... and that wasn't it. Darling will be back tomorrow! :)

XOXO,
