mousez muses: 30 November 2006

at the stroke of midnight, birthday greetings started to come in through SMS...

first was my colleague, SYL... then it was Steve, followed by Kenneth, Shaun and Jason... even, Ashok, one of my ex-student from Beatty Secondary where i was relief teaching back in 2003 SMSed me at 12:15am... another of my ex-student, Afiq, also SMSed me in the morning... so touched that they remembered...

in the morning, there was Kit, Christina (HR girl from office), Kelvin Ong and Kelvin Ho (the deafies who taught me the basic sign language and whom i used to blade with), Sophia (an ex-staff) and Hwee Kheng (ex-colleague), Siang Leng and Lik Kiam (ex-colleagues), my dearest Sarah, Melvin and Dominic and David, Triston, Angel (my cousin) and Wei Fern (colleague)...

SMSes came also from Arun (who is in Sydney Australia... managed to chat for a short while with him... we'll meet up in January 2007 when he is back for the holidays) and KC (who is in KL, Malaysia)...

finally, belated birthday wishes from Ming and Jiunn Wei, both ex-colleagues from different companies...

mum came into my room to pass me the traditional ang pao...

we left the house for our shopping at around 2:30pm, just after the rain has stopped... first stop was lunch at Central HK Cafe... the best HK cafe in Singapore... shopping at Takashimaya was a disappointment cos the Christmas fair starts the next day, 1 December 2006... darn!!

next stop was Plaza Singapura... mum wanted to check out Daiso (the Always $2 shop)... had great fun going through the stuff... after that it was Aussino for their sale... 3 bedsheet sets for the price of 2... Carrefour was next... just to shop for some groceries...

finally, both mum and i bought a glass crystal pendant at the stall next to the escalator on the ground floor... dinner was at Wah Noogee with my family... nice food as usual... and great to have the whole family eating at one table... forgot to take a family photo... hmmm...
