I Turned 45 : Oct-19

So, I’ve officially turned 45!! But, since earlier this year I’ve already declared myself as 45, so really turning 45 years old isn’t a great deal. I didn’t feel much has happened or things have changed much in the past year, so really, I have no urge to celebrate my birthday!

Nonetheless, my loved ones celebrated my special day making sure I felt special..🥰🥰

(1)  Buddies Birthday

10 days before mine was Sharon’s birthday. Dunno when it began, Huili, Sharon & I would meet to catch up, on the pretext of celebrating our birthdays & Halloween!! 👻👻

(2)  Family Celebration

Dor will always whip up a feast to celebrate our birthdays. And behold!! We have a birthday party!! 🥳🎉🎉

Hahaa.. this year my pa made a strange blunder!! Somehow he wrote my chinese name wrongly on the red packet he gave me as birthday present!! 😱😱

And he’s so embarrassed by it after I pointed it out to him that he immediately took it back & gave me a new rectified piece!! 

(3)  Cozy Family Celebration

This year, my birthday happened to fall on Deepavali again, and we have the luxury of a weekend-on-a-non-weekend to go gai-gai and makan as a family at leisure!! Since most of us have yet to explore the so-hyped Jewel 💎, we made our way there!

That evening, we sang my birthday song and cut my cakes.. I had THREE CAKES!!

 

Well, that’s how I turned 45. With all my girls towering over me, somehow I feel small and protected all over again! 

Collect step challenge watches for Papa and Mama : Oct-19

National health promotion board is constantly promoting a healthier life style for Singaporean and had recently launched the wave 4 national step challenge.  Thanks to ling, who told me about the carnival held at Punggol waterway point, I brought Papa and Mama there to collect their free step challenge watch.  After Papa surgery to remove his cyst in August, he had been suffering from stomach discomfort and indigestion and also lost quite a bit of weight, probably due to the trauma he underwent during the surgery.  I really hope this tiny watch would inspired him to at least walk a bit more and get stronger!

Karaoke organised by Gee Peng : Oct-19

In Oct, Gee Peng had kindly organised a karaoke session and invited us over.  Since July, Papa was not feeling well with his stomach after his cyst surgery, i think this session somehow cheered him up a bit which i was grateful about...

Crab Feast gathering with ex GSK friends : Oct-19

It was more than 5 years since we gathered for a crab feast cooked by Lily.  It was rather difficult to arrange after many left the company or changed their roles, including myself.  Finally managed to organise one this year thru the help of Whatsapp.  I was grateful for so many old friends to be able to join and catch up with each other.  It was heartening to see everyone well and healthy too.  Xuan and myself even performed 2 songs after the feast!
