Happy Birthday

26 April is my birthday.....

It was uneventful on birthday but something made me warm and touched...

Last month Daren return from Singapore with an early birthday gift from Si Hui - a pair of earring. Thank you Si Hui for remembering my birthday and the gift. The earring is pretty and go well with one of my dress!!

19 April I received another early birthday gift, from aunty Woon Yeow and family - a NIKON D50!! I couldn't believe when I opened the pink-wrapped during the breakfast at their apartment, my heart melt. It was a used DSLR from Jizeng who intend to put the camera on sale BUT they gave me as gift. Aunty WY spotted my interest in photography and believe the camera will bring blessing in my photography skill and decided to share, what a generous gift!! Daren has always wanted to buy me a DSLR but I do not want it early for fear of not able to do well with the camera. With the gift now I have fresh inspiration!! XIE-XIE to AWY and family!!! (I have brush up my technical knowledge, now left the practical part...)

26 April Daren and uncle Lawrence had meeting in Thistle Hotel. Gabriel and me followed and waited for almost 3 hours. I took Gabriel for cycling and we did others things to kill the waiting time. We had birthday lunch at Marriott's Hotel near Heathrow, courtesy of uncle Lawrence who then flew to Dubai after the meal. It was a nice meal together - a honourable meal from PICO chairman eh....

27 April, we had dinner with aunty WY and family at Strada in Richmond, courtesy of uncle James, also a farewell dinner to Jiming who is flying back to Michigan next day. They bought me a cake, a bottle of champagne, cheese from Amsterdam, tulip bubs and pack of cookies for Gabriel (they just return from Amsterdam) Honestly, I am very very touched by their effort, kindness and generosity - not only for my birthday but for all they have given to us. THANK YOU!!! Again, it was a very good meal together - a honorable meal from PICO president....eh..eh......

Gabriel doesn't say happy birthday yet and I don't think he know what is a birthday. Hubby Daren - unfortunately was too busy to prepare anything for me and was still in long meeting on my birthday BUT I know he always love me and have me in heart. He told me what he will buy for my 'late' birthday gift.....guess what he gonna buy for me?!

My birthday wish - I want my family continued to be blessed with HAPPINESS and GOOD HEALTHY and I want to work on my new prespectivesss!!!
