My Birthday!!

Yesterday, 13 July 06, was my birthday.

I was feeling a trifle melancholy a few days before that, at the thought that there'd be no one special to celebrate it with. I remembered when I was still with Ben not that long ago, I was thinking of how he was going to celebrate it for me. And I remembered feeling happy that this year, my birthday was going to be a little different. Well, I believe I am happier now out of the unsuitable relationship, even though it was difficult at first. I remembered thinking to myself that, with someone right, everyday will be a Valentine's day, or everyday will feel like my birthday *smile* But right now I am absolutely going to live life to the fullest and do whatever I had wanted to do but didn't get done all that time before.

Anyway, Jas initiated a lunch for me, but couldn't make it at the last minute as she had some urgent issues to resolve. Irene got Capt to come along and together with Pink and WP, adjourned to Crystal Jade Kitchen at Jurong Point. After lunch we all headed back to office as Pink cannot afford to be out for too long. When we reached office there were 2 bouquet of flowers waiting for me...and I knew who they were from even before I read the cards *grin*

But the flowers are pretty anyway, and I've never received 2 bouquet of flowers on the same day.

But I felt a little disappointed as my colleagues didn't get me anything this year, as we usually did for each other's birthday, so I can't help but felt the unfairness of it; and I felt a little hurt that they didn't bother.

The flowers were really lovely, and they really brightened up my day. But the rest of the day didn't feel much like my birthday. After work I met up with SM for a dinner (alas JL couldn't come along due to an impending meeting) and we joined sis and William for a movie-Pirates of the Carribean, The Dead Man's Chest-SM and myself tarried a little too long in finding an eating place, and we ended up having to take away sandwiches from Cafe Cartel. But the sandwiches were nice, though it was quite a mess and hassle to eat them in the cinema. We missed a little of the beginning of the show, as it had already started as we made our way in.

I hadn't exactly find the show really that fantastic: I still find the first show the nicer of the two.

After movie it was home sweet home.
