Spent the day at work rushing stuff and being zombified (lack of sleep),
Headed to meet Liang for dinner after work,
And we joined Celine, Ka and Cin to watch Ruth sing at The Ark.
Mingchen and Yan called too (and oops, I missed a couple of their calls),
Hence completing the list of people who spent my birthday with me.

Celine & Liang disappeared to nowhere after the performance,
Appearing from nowhere later with a Tiramisu cake with candles! YUM!
Celine, Liang & Ruth presented me a funky black shirt,!
While Ruth got me a Deuter Aircomfort Orange-Gray backpack on top of that.
They are damn nice, and I love them all !!
I really don't deserve these fantastic stuff
--- they even know the colors I like and sizes I wear!

It was a fantastic day, really.
And I'm glad my 23rd Birthday ended with people I love around me. :]
It's one of those days you feel damn lucky.
And it's probably the happiest day I've had this year!
