Ethan’s Corner

I had my b’day celebration recently, and it was a nice one. I think it’s worth the sharing though. But first come first, THANK YOU everyone!

     It started actually with the hard arranged celebration inside office during working hours. This time, my celebration was shared with another colleague of mine, Haryati, whose b’day is actually on 13th Oct. It was busy time for both of us as she’s stuck on long call while I stuck with 3 customers on chat window. Possibly they were waiting for the right moment and yet we both still stucked until some of them are getting too anxious. Like my picture said, we had the best cake of the year, yet the worse b’day song but surprised that even team FES BBs sang it for us, well with better volume though (I told you I would recognize your effort, Viji :P). Photo session was not much as everyone was too busy, and Alice’s camera phone can’t accomadate that much space

     Comes to the gift part, I got a small model kit toy, a BB Gundam named "Guan Yu". Looks nice! This will be a credit to my cubemate plus neighbours (Darek and BengHooi) around who are really into toys. I supposed they are trying to lure me into the toy gang inside office I assembled it up already on Saturday, looks ok but will be better with some further finishing touches that requires tool that I don’t have for now. Maybe will show the picture in future…

     The day was continued with SMS messages from everyone excluding those who wished me 1 week ahead (Alva was the first one). As it’s my b’day eve on that night, so I am prepared for it actually . But surprisingly the only message on that night (right on midnight) came from an old friend of mine back during my tution class days, Xiao Hui. Surely glad to hear from her though, she’s truely very nice to remember it despite busying all the way in KL now…

     So comes the actual day itself, 25th Oct. More SMS messages came in the moment I woke Up which is 11am Easier if I round it up, the messages came from my hometown buddies (you know who you are), USM juniors (mostly from the KKF), and colleagues also. Preparing myself, I came to work as normal and was delighted to have mail wishes from JinWen, HueyFen, and Kong. We all worked in the same building, yet we barely meet up recently and still you guys remember it. Thanks a bunch

     As time goes by, I expecting my day to end just like any other days. At first was funny though because got people ask me "Hey, today is your b’day ha?" on that day itself. Not much can be say about that because we didn’t expect others to rememeber everything, right?  Well, it was nice to end my big day because Stephanie treat me for a Coffee Bean drink despite being being tired after work (she’s the one who asked me that question actually :P)

     Just as it sounds like it’s the end of celebration, actually I got SinYi willing to treat me for a dinner also actually. It was supposed to be just any normal dinner treat due to her budget not enough, but then got things change and happen also. So, end up I treat her but she’s so generous to offer to treat me back TGI’s Friday!!! How lucky me, hehe (actually lucky that I agreed it fast before she change her mind :P). Haven’t arrange yet, but for sure the treat is conrfirm already. Right, SinYi?

     Regardless how’s the story goes, who’s I mentioned or I missed out here, I must say that I am grateful that I had a celebration of my birthday with everyone I’ve known in my life. The celebration might not sound very grand if were to compare with others, but it has its value in myself. Each and everyone of you deserved much appreciation equally and fairly. What else I can say, THANK YOU!!!

PS: By the way, today Nicole also gave me a b’day present, Twisties BBQ Flavour I doubt if it’s just leftover from what she bought, but still it means something to me. Thank you Nicole!
