Love, Me

My friend asked me: Why are you hanging out with younger and younger people lately?

My answer is: Because they are more innocent. *SMILES*

Kayler cutie *siamed*, escaped from and ignored me.
Finally, she smiled! (all thanks to Mummy Grace’s singing heh)

Had a supposedly farewell gathering for Guoxing last week. Why supposedly? Because his trip is postponed, so we should be able to meet up again. Still, we had fun at his beautiful home.

The duno-number-what-take using the self-timer function.
Till Guoxing “slept” and Weicheng got distracted by some tv ad.

Different versions of my fave-shot-of-the-nite.

Some things that would trigger my happiness:

When my nephew sings, “Yiyi!!” then followed by the ABC song. A,B,C,D,E,F,G… …

Enjoying good food with my loved ones.
(FISH, a restaurant under Fish and Co. located @Tampines One,
Clockwise: Baked Seafood Spaghetti, Sambal Stingray, some chicken
specialty dish, Chicken Drumsticks and Fries *only for the kiddos)

Travelling with great folks, and yes enjoying good food again.
(So thrilled when I got to eat the yummy fried cheong fun and best char siew again during my KL trip in May. Woho!!)

Baby-talking to the little ones.
(Congrats to you, Rui. And welcome, cutie Leyun!)

Cam-whoring. Watch out for new publicity photos of the Jia DJs!
(Though I concluded that I always look bad aka FAT in formal photoshoot, still the process of dolling up is fun!)

Happiness is like bubbles, short-lived but beautiful. But never mind, when one bursts, there are more coming your way, bigger and brighter ones.

When I was a child, I always looked forward to my birthday as every year I wished that my parents would throw a party for me. Thinking back, I had a few, most held at home and one at Burger King (I was some BK Club member then, haha!) There were relatives, friends, birthday cake, birthday song, presents… Wonderful things that a child would wish for on this special day.

When I grew up, my close friends will laugh at me, saying that my birthday is like some national day where celebration lasts for a week. Well, that’s because I prefer gathering in small groups, so there will be my family, secondary, JC, poly and Uni friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues etc. Ya so maybe not a week lah, just few separate occasions where lovely folks celebrate my birthday with me.

However, things are getting a little different now, or rather my idea of birthday. I don’t really make birthday wish anymore, somehow lost the “magical feeling” for it along the years. I’m just simply happy that loved ones bother to remember this day, spend a precious effort to send their wishes to me and especially touched when friends overseas spent those extra dollars calling me, wishing me and catching up.

And it was really heart-warming that a friend working in Shanghai, Liping sent me a birthday card. Gosh, I was like, “Shanghai stamps! Birthday card! Handwritten!” I was truly touched. The best gift I received this year is a handmade photo box, beautifully decorated, and with a pair of pretty earrings stuck on it. I love it.

Dear family and friends:
For all the birthday wishes, presents, sweet thoughts and love, THANK YOU.

My Birthday 2009.
