“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~by Og Mandino

My birthday on 29 September 2009

I wake up this early morning, feeling refreshed and contented. It's my birthday today. That's my big day. I was born today 27 years ago. Yohoo... to myself and to my beloved parents as well. Thanks for bringing me to the world and let me be one of the Nguang family. It's my pleasure, hand on my heart.

6.45am...
I've received a few birthday greeting SMS from my buddies Marcy and BK in the morning. They even reach me before 7am. Wow, how nice. However, I’m still eagerly waiting for someone to greet me. The blessing words from my hubby. It's just so important to me. No special reason. It's like you always wish to get something from someone you love even a few very simple words when every significant moment, and so am I. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten about my great day. He was too tired last night and I should give him some times. So I wait.

8.30am onward...
Subsequently, there are a few messages coming in, from my dearest sis, friends, and the shopping stores where i've registered my detail before. No response from my hubby yet.

9.30am...
I check my handset on and off, and I still got nothing of what I longing for.

10.30am...
I'm feeling a bit resolved because...I've got the birthday greeting from my hubby in the end. He apologizes to me about the belated greeting and he promise to bring me to RedBox (karaoke) tonight. Yoo-hoo! I'm glad to hear that.

One thing that has disappointed me most is, the new receptionist didn't dedicate the birthday speech and play the song(each employee would get once every year as long as anyone's birthday is falling on weekday) for me. She gives the reason she was too busy and accidentally forgotten about this. How on earth could she forget about such an important thing. Does she know that this is sometimes what people would care about, especially on their big day? She doesn't do her job well. She bloody cow. This has truly upset me. I'm feeling completely and utterly sad. That's a real let down.

At 11am, the lousy receptionist is finally sending me the dedication. I don't know why she did so since she had missed the session earlier. May be someone thought this is not fair to me and made some complaint to HR. To be honest, it does comfort me a teeny bit. However, I didn't feel any high excitement as earlier sparkling inside my body anymore. It's too late. It's all over.

11.30am...
But then, I receive the two warmest greeting emails from KC and Poron. With a few sweetest ever words and a picture of lovely cute bear holding a love shaped red pillow with the "Happy Birthday" reading in front. All these start to cheer me up again. I think they must be hearing the dedication from that bloody receptionist just now. Anyway, my happiness is gradually glowing back again.

2.30pm...
I continuously get many birthday wishes from my colleagues. Thanks HH Tan, Pauline, HH Tai, Siva, KP Phang and many others too.

4.10pm...
Do you know what have the entire Test members bought for me just now? It’s a cake. A sweet creamy birthday cake with loads of my favorite strawberries on top and inside and come along with their lovely birthday song. Wow. I'm really enjoyed it. 4.30pm...
I've actually bought a used LG KU380 from James Poon last week and he just get the handset and all it's accessories to me today. However, he only knows that today is my birthday a minute ago. BK makes a joke on him that he should give that LG handset for free, as a birthday gift to me. He was worried. Well, after all it's just a joke. I will still pay him the agreed amount by the end.

5.30pm...
Oh, finally it's time to knock off! It's time to go home to get myself ready. Because, as what I mentioned earlier, my hubby will be coming in to JB tonight and bringing me to RedBox in order to celebrate my birthday. It's the time I’ve been waiting long for the whole day today. It's gonna be a fantastic night to me. Bless me! Cheers.
