29th Feb, Leap Year Bday Party

The day I've been patiently waiting for is finally here, A bright sunny day to start of with when I hop onto the bus to go back to Penang at about 10am. About 4+ hours of sleep later, I finally reach Penang and I just cant wait till the party begins at night.

After settling down I continue my wait while reading my text messages that has been sent to me when I was happily sleeping on the bus. I received nearly 30 birthday wishes, 1 birthday card from one of my good friends, 10+ msn wishes, a couple of facebook blessings and friendster wishes as well.

After a few more hours, it's finally time to prepare for the big night. Tables were put up for the steamboat dinner, chairs were placed, food was laid out and I was busy chasing flies trying to smash them into a pulp for disturbing my peace.

Night arrive, friends and family starts showing up on my doorstep wishing me a happy birthday and teasing me about my 6th birthday celebration.

The first 2 fellas that arrived was my 2 good friends namely Hock (in the middle) and Sam (right). They arrived an hour before the party started and we did had a great time chatting and catching up on gossips. While chattering about we found out that I'm the only one that is still single among the two of them.... crapz... A traveller like me can't have one.. long distance travels and I'll miss my darling horribly...

Guest started arriving so let the PARTY begin !!

Food started disappearing fast into the pot of soup, drinks are being served and lots of chattering are going around the house. I'm lucky to have invited my neighbour or the noise is going to bug them a bit... The dog of our neighbour joined in the loud chatter by barking it's head off...

Lets have some pictures do the talking for a bit.





The party lasted till 1am but by then there is only a number of 7 people left instead of the 40+ that came to the party. Did not really have much presents but I got a present of puzzle rings which is my favourite present for the whole night... As a puzzle lover that present gave me joy of dismantling and pieces and figuring how to put them back again. The other things I got was a wallet, a photo frame + notepad, 2 bottles of red wine, a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream cake, some perfume and a calender toy (those you can dismantle and put back like pieces of Lego)


The party finally ended with me as tired as you can imagine, bus ride > preparing > party > cleaning up (though much was done by my family members) > chatting till late > wine > being a gentleman sending a lady back home.... I finally got some peace and quiet till about 2am in the morning where some of my forgetful friends starts to send in sms's saying they forgot about my birthday and wishing me a happy belated one. At least they still manage to wish me a happy belated birthday cause there is no belated birthday next year or the next or the next year to come. Hehe... it's special to be born on a special day, having a memorable party and best of all.... Loving family and friends.
