LUNAR NEW YEAR ~ OINK OINK

It's scary how time flies. It felt like yesterday when I published the post titled "Woof Woof Year Resolutions". Now, the dog is gone! I'm now officially a year old, 2 in fact according to the Lunar calendar. My ah ma says that I'm 26. NO~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

In the past, I enjoyed the luxury of thinking & saying "Aiya, never mind la, wait till I'm 25" & "Chey, I'm still young". But now...HAIZ!!

Anyway, the new year has been good. As usual, my house is sardined with people on Chu Yi. The limelight of this year's gamble had been on "4 ki pi". A confusing & flexible game that requires high level of thinking & endurance level. Good for people who enjoys slow game with low investment & returns.

Today is Chu Qi, just came back from 4 yi's place. Learnt a new game - Royale Casino/Casino War. A test of your luck & cheating/bluffing/threatening skills. The pool of coins & dollar notes keeps on changing it's owner. Ultimately, it ended up with the 3 doggies of our family ^.^. I am one of them. hahahahaha

Most of my resolutions came true last year, so this year I'm hoping that it will also.

I pray that
1. XX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXX
2. my loved ones, especially my mum & ah ma would enjoy good health & wealth

9. all the above would come true

A LITTLE SECRET

Someone got me thinking for the present that I want for my b-dae. Ermmm..I wouldn't say that I'm a person of no desire but it seems like the things that I pray for are either too expensive or too vague or too impossible for anyone to give =)

I have been harbouring this little dream from ever since I started having memories. I dreamt of someone or anyone giving me a surprise, a real surprise that will make me teared, make me feel loved, make me feel remembered. You know, the plot that's always shown on drama serial. Very dramatic kind, although there's no need for anyone to jump out of a cake/big box naked.

This is my little secret =)

But a dream is still a dream, for the past 20 odd years, my birthday had always been planned - by my parents when I was young & by myself when I grow up. Because of my own desire, I like to see others living my dream for me. Which is why I am always the super onz one when someone suggest giving surprise to some other friends on their birthday. To date, I think I've done it quite a couple of times. So when is it gonna be my turn?

Thinking back on the past 24 birthdays, the memorable ones are countable.
1. When I was in Pri 3, my parents held a birthday celebration for me in McDonalds AMK
2. My 21st birthday
3. My 23rd birthday, my sisters sent a bouquet of flower to my school - This I consider a surprise, so in a way, it's also a dream come true for me *.*

That said, I am not complaining/blaming anyone. I appreciate and thank everyone for their well wishes over the years & also the time they took to spend my birthday with me, be it pre/actual/belated. Truly, from the bottom of my heart ^.^

Now, the question I have to consider is..should I take leave on my b-dae? My colleagues asked me to, Suling asked me to. But..what's the point of taking leave on a thursday when everyone else is working?? *Suling said that she will try to take half day to go out with me though =)*

As for presents, think harder. If you paid attention to my words or things I said, you should know.
