Spread the joy...

Knock off early today so I went to check out the queue at the new Donut Factory in Suntec City (near Carrefour). Ended up I joined the queue and was feeling very happy since the queue was pretty short and moving. Shortly after I stood in line, the queue quickly extended towards the toilet area so I was feeling really excited. *cheap thrill*

I've always told myself that if I were to ever join in the queue, I would get the maximum 2 dozens and probably share them. So started calling my sister and Weiling knowing they would wanna try them too and got them pretty excited. Then I checked my wallet and realised that I didn't have enough $$$! They didn't accept NETS or VISA so I was starting to kick myself. =(

Not wanting to *waste the chance*, I eventually asked the person in front if he could lend me some $$ and I'll withdraw $$ from the ATM just round the corner. Luckily he was pretty helpful and he helped to keep my "position" in the queue while I quickly pop over to the ATM.

To cut the story short, managed to really buy 24 donuts and shared them with Weiling and my sister. The donuts sure tasted good and fresh.. But more importantly, I'm glad to share the joy and happy to see the smiles on their faces when they got the donuts.

Very Happy Birthday...

It's my birthday today and i felt particularly happy and contented this year.. all my loved ones and friends are around and things are smooth sailing which is all that i could ever ask for.

Since I've moved out from my parents house, we've grown closer and made more effort to be nicer to one another. Celebrated my birthday in advance with my family on Sunday. My sister bought me an awfully chocolate cake while my nephews & niece sung the birthday song & handmade some cards and presents. Mum as usual fed me with good food by cooking my favourite salted vegetable duck soup. Dad who is usually stoney & MCP called to wish me happy birthday and gave me a kiss over the phone! Even Gerald's parents gave me birthday ang paos.

Today also happened to be my first day of work at DC. I'm glad that culture seems pretty good and they do not advocate working OT which is great! Working environment is good too! Got a window seat with pretty good view except that the workstations are smaller.

And of course, there's Gerald. He got me a tiffany bracelet, from my favourite Atlas range. *nice* My first little blue box from Gerald and I hope there's more to come in future... hehe =)


Also got many birthday greeting from friends, especialy some longtime friends which was heartwarming. Ivy & Adrian were so sweet too. They got me a bouquet of flowers and turned up at Coca while Gerald & I were having dinner to wish me happy birthday... hehe a truly satisfying birthday.
