There was so much I wanted to write, so much I wanted to say but the words were jumbled up in my head. The euphoria of my birthday hadn't even dissipated yet when I had some tragic news.
BUT today's post isn't about being sad. Today is about remembering some extraordinary moments that make me feel glad to be alive. Plus I want to save these here so I can revisit.
Pre- and post-birthday highlights:
The first wish came from Australia, two days before my actual birthday and that prompted FB wishers to follow suit. In a way, it was fun because it built up some excitement which I don't usually have for my birthday.
First Wish: From John Khoo
First Birthday Card: Arrived by mail from my Aunt Corazon.
First Youtube Clip: From Shar (OBE) :)
First Surprise Call: From the florist, was supposed to be a surprise bouquet of flowers. LOL
First WhatsApp Video: From Gumi (love the little girl singing Happy Birthday)
Lunch was at Swensen's and Dinner was at Serenity Spanish Bar and Restaurant .
All in, it was a lovely day filled with calls, late night FB chats, WhatsApp messages, smses, emails, and the usual multitude of FB wishes.
I should add that being in Singapore with Stephen, on my birthday, is something I do not take for granted. We had spent too many birthdays apart.
However, I have to admit that there was one wish that stood out. It was just a simple but delightful email from an ex-colleague. There's a little story there and I'll share it in the next post.
Remembering all these things make me smile again.
