A Birthday Cake, Song, And Wish

A birthday cake, a birthday song, a birthday wish. These elements were missing from my birthday this year. Strangely though, I did not feel anything in particular was missing.

I'm not too sure how the general folks out there feel about such things? Do you feel that they are necessary/important? Well for me, I had the general thought that they were not of much importance, which probably gave way to a better understanding of why I did not feel much without them.

Well, not until my friends in my church's choir, Praislight, celebrated my birthday for me today. :D

As usual, I was leaving home after practice when Clara called, and asked me to head to the food court beside our church to discuss something. I thought it might have something to do with our Good Friday performance, so I U-turned my way back to meet them.

Who knows that not long after I sat down, Sister Girlie, the worship leader of our church, brought a cake for me!! *ecstatic*

The setting was in the food court (not the best of places), and all of them were rushing to finish their dinner (not the best time either) because they have to prepare and serve God in the Miracle Service in an hour or so. After positioning and lighting the candles up, they sang me a birthday song and I was sooooo utterly touched. T_T (You know.. food court leh! So many people watching! And they still sang like nobody's business! :D)

My cake!!

Momentarily, the candles' light engulfed my vision and stole everything from my sight. It was like the most beautiful thing I've seen. :P Meanwhile their angelic voices resonated and having their way with my eardrums, and it was as if I was transported to another realm altogether. It certainly wasn't the best place, and it wasn't the best time either, but what I felt was certainly the best. I have no idea how else I can describe it any other way. :P

I finally had a chance to say my birthday wish as well. ;)

Deeply touched by their kind gestures, I can find no words to describe what those meant to me. I want to thank God so nmuch for this beautiful arragement, where they had managed to change my former perspectives about these simple blessings and actions. *touched*

To know you guys have been my privilege and a blessing from God. Thank you all, and I'm so fortunate to be serving our Lord and Saviour with all of you. :)

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

I don't really know how to start! :D Firstly, the thought that I'm 24 makes me feel old, because contrastingly enough, I feel young. I don't exactly know what to feel. Is that a sign of getting old? :S

Anyway after work I met up with my godmom, kamee, and uncle dan, and they brought me to this "secret alley" in Potong Pasir with VERY GOOD FOOD! *slurp*

We sat at table "57"... the person really don't know how to paint la... :D

This was only one of the 3 dishes that we ordered. The fish soup was super nice and authentic! An ultimate delicacy! I'm still drooling so late into the night by just thinking about it. haha.. Unfortunately, because I was too hungry by the time the other 2 dishes came, I couldn't be bothered to take photos. :P But just for records, they were kangkong (wa... the sambal chilli!!!) and tofu and prawns in chilli-crab-style sauce! Are you drooling?? :P~~~

We had such a filled dinner that I had difficulty walking around (not to mention my sprained leg. haha..)!! Thereafter, we went to kamee's place and, though not convenient to disclose where I got these, I managed to play with computer chips (flash memory to be exact)! haha...

Look at how small they are! Oh gosh!

Curious, I tried to fit as many as I can on the tip segment of my middle finger, and wanna guess how much I managed to balance? :D

A whooping 14!! haha...

Today had been a great great day, and I really want to thank all the people who sent me your well wishes, which had touched different corners of my heart and made me feel so blest. :)

This is going to be a great year. I know it. ;)
