Birthday Reapings

Happy! This year’s ‘harvest’ was definitely better then I expected. It’s a strange feeling. The day before, I felt very calm and at peace with myself. I don’t feel excited or nervous that my birthday was coming. I didn’t expect presents or celebrations and I felt perfectly ok about it. I remember thinking to myself, maybe I am growing up. Haha…

So I happily went to work in the morning, feeling happy as I smile inwardly, it’s my birthday today. It’s MY day and no one can ruin it, not knowing that a quiet surprise was waiting for me in office.

The office was quiet as usual, what greeted me was a bright orange paper bag with the words Shermay's Cooking School on my desk. Presents!

Wait… Cooking School? Don’t tell me they bought some cheesy apron or mittens. I read the card, peeked into the bag and squeal in delight as I pulled out a fondue set!

It even comes with complimentary candle lights and chocolate! Can’t wait to try it with Cobby…!

Later I went for a meeting which ended earlier then usual. I was irritated as my manager dragged on nearing the end. Then I found out that it was because they have prepared a birthday cake for me!

But since the meeting ended early, we had to wait around for the others to join us. Haha… Ooo the cake was nice. I took the afternoon off but I had time to kill before I can leave at 12.45pm, so I hung out at Some’s desk cause I had zero mood to work anyway.

Sis called me when I was hanging out at Some’s and decided to take the afternoon off too at the last minute. Haha… we met up at New York New York at CitiLink and had yummy lunch there. Please try their fried cheese sticks, its gooooood…. Then we went to karaoke at Marina Square’s K Box! Haha so shiok! This must be the first time singing on a weekday afternoon. We went our separate ways after that; she went for her dance class while I met up with Cobby for dinner at Orchard.

Wah… It’s been so long since I’ve been to Orchard! Good thing that Cobby’s late, then I have more time to shop around. Wanted to buy something for myself but unfortunately couldn’t get anything I like. Either no size or just no feel. Hmm… really must take leave to do some serious shopping sometime.

We had a nice dinner at Shimbashi restaurant at Paragon Shopping Centre, where they specialize in freshly made soba. How good is good? I don’t like soba. But I like their soba. Enough said. Yum.

So after dinner we went home and I finally get to unwrap my present that Cobby gave me! He bought it since Sunday but I wanted to open on the actual day. The packaging looks big, so I thought it was a PSP, but it turned out to be a limited edition Nintendo DS Lite! It’s so beautiful in a deep red colour and even comes with a matching pouch! Guess what… he bought the Ratatouille game! Words fail me as I kept screaming “whao!” “Cool!” and “Thanks dear!” Then I fell into a trance as I started playing immediately.
So ends my birthday. Didn’t expect much in the morning, but ended up with so much in the evening. Sis say would be passing me my presents in the coming weekend, something to look forward too!
