It’s kind of late to post on how my birthday celebration was. While I was waiting for Riza to hand over the pictures taken from the DSLR, I’d just hold on with the post. Heck it, just post some of the pictures that I had here.
I would like to big thanks to all my ex-colleagues and Irene for the surprise birthday celebration. It was all well planned which I got punk’d, not with humiliation but it was totally out of my expectation.
Every year of my birthday, there nothing special to celebration which it likes an usual day. Except last year I had a drunken birthday at karaoke. Other than that with usual birthday cake and everyone started to sing the birthday song. My family doesn’t celebrate as it’s not the custom.
But this year was different. I’d expected there nothing to celebrate but move on with a usual day. On my birthday in the office, none of my new colleagues know. Then I got a birthday card from the HR Department which it likes a formal card represented by the company that my colleagues weren’t aware. I was doing my usual works in the office. Even my ex-colleagues never wish me. Like they were don’t know my birthday. So sad.
It started with Yvonne, my ex-colleague has suggested to me that one of the day in that week, she will fetch me to visit her new home at Ampang after work. I told her its fine to see her new home. She even asked me whether I would ask Irene to come along to see her new home. I’d called Irene and invite her along and we planned to see her new home on my birthday which seem I have nothing much to do during my day.
On my birthday, April 12, Yvonne fetched me from my office to home. I took my bath and got changed with casual clothes. I was informed that she might need my help to shift some stuff to her new home. Then Yvonne came to fetch me and Irene. While waiting for Irene to come down from her condo, Yvonne called up her husband who was in the new home to wait. Then when Irene got into the car, she’d requested to drop by a place to get something from a friend who came back from foreign country (I forgotten). Irene has asked me whether want to meet her friend who is mixed races and quite charming but way too young for me. I didn’t care but to get to know more friends. I told Irene I want to meet her friend.
Once we reached the place, I saw Jeffery’s car was parked there. I’d told Yvonne of Jeffery’s car was there. They were ignored me. I didn’t suspect anything but curious to know what Jeffery was doing at such classy wine restaurant. There, they were bunch of people sitting at the long table and yelled ‘Surprise!’ It was very first time someone has thrown me a surprise celebration and thanks to them who came!
Not to forget, thanks to those who left SMSes, emails and wishes. Really love you guys who attended the surprise party.

Thanks to Castina and Siki for the dinner treats. Thanks to Jay for singing out loud the birthday song in the public. Thanks to everyone who came for the yam cha session cum mini belated birthday celebration. Thanks to Kon Ngun for the bills that night and also fetching me home and Irene too.
It was a great night to hang out with a bunch of Foundation Year in college. Really miss the old days. :)
