i love my friends =)

my birthday is special this year because of the following people who have made my birthday so awesomely splendid.

lin yanping... :) for the birthday dinner, the random dvds we rented during our 4 hour horror flick marathon.... its been a long time since i did something like this... and everything was really fun.. thank you :)

josheen wee wen jun=)
for meeting me after your tiring hot day of frisbee and IFG and for the massively crazy camwhoring after that... i often feel that its unlikely to make many new friends in university, but u proved me otherwise ;) thanks for the awesomely sweet birthday msg and for tea in town... i'm glad i met you in NUS =)

huiqing, for always going against me but yet being one of the bestest friends in university, and for coming out despite having an upcoming test

huilin, for taking time off and rushing down after your tiring work...

charlotte, for taking time off your busy wkend... sacrificing time you can otherwise spend with your boyfriend, and also for your constant efforts to keep in touch and message me online even though you are out at internship now.

michael, for being such a great friend for the past few years. since rv days till now... you're always someone i can talk to...

for the surprise cake u guys bought me, and the lameass red apple with a card that says "coming soon"... for charlotte qing and lin, it has been 2 yrs since we known each other! and you guys are the friends i know i can count on in university when i'm absolutely down in the dumps :) thanks guys...

my students, seemun.. for being such a responsible and mature choir president...
wendy, for being one of the first few to message me at the stroke of midnight...

and at the stroke of midnight or somewhere near the first few hours of my birthday, i had friends like eleanor - for droppin me a sweet sms... and for always asking me if i'm fine when i appear emo...
jonchong my 1985 fellow buddy - one of the very few guys i can seriously talk to in university.. thanks alot bro...
lynette jiejie, 3rd ee (for the romantic 3rd ee loves you birthday message)

zang ewe, for remembering. (for taking time off your ice cream buffet to meet me at ion for a photo)

and for the rest who msged me on facebook.... although facebook does take away the authenticity of birthday wishes (i'm guilty of it too, dropping a convenient happy birthday to friends while visiting their profiles)... but yes, it was heart warming to know that at least you guys remembered and bothered to click and say happy birthday...
