This year is a big year for you, yes? A year of much excitement and many life-altering decisions. I’m sure if you think back to all the rides you’ve been on for the past 12 months, you’ll go “WOW!”. I know I did.
.
I cannot be physically there to give you a birthday hug but know that I am thinking of you with much, much love on this special day, ok?
.
Every year, I pray. That come October 20th, I will get the chance to wish you lots of love, joy and happiness although knowing that you already have them in your Life. One can never have too much of those, eh?

祝您心想事成!

P/S - Hope you like the mugshot I made you today.
Thank you, E.
Yes, it HAS been a turbulent year for me. So much has happened in so short a period of time. So many difficult decisions to make. Time will tell if I made the correct choices and sacrifices.
I want you to know that I will always cherish and appreciate our friendship. And know, deep in your heart, that I will always be there.
Great, Great, Great all the way on the relay!
Didnt know you know written Chinese. That’s also great, great, Great!
My felicitations to Eleen’s whosoever celebrating the birthday today.
Hold a birthday bash or shower at IRC with a discount for the occasion.
Best Wishes to all…
Wow, that is extremely generous of you, Prof. Thank you so much! Unfortunately, the birthday dude is in KL. So, can’t get to enjoy your kind offer.
I’m STILL waiting for the day I get to check out IRC. Every time I plan a trip there, something comes up. Damn.
Oh, about the Chinese written words, I only know some basic ones. Most of the time, I go to my many personal Chinese language tutors for SOS! Hehe…
Be prepared, tentative date = Saturday 1st Nov 2008 at 7.30pm. Have a buffet dinner at IRC on me. Bring ur frens and SL’s frens along. Will let you know when the date is confirmed.
ANOTHER buffet dinner coming up again? WOW! U & your buddies really know how to throw parties, eh? If it’s gonna be as big as the last one, I feel ‘phai seh’ lah…go eat for free…remember how I chickened out at the last minute? Hehe…
SL? Who’s that?
Was the last one big? u didnt attend so how did u know? Guess? It’s not throwing parties lah. It’s for an occasion. Just come over when it’s confirmed. SL? You dont know who made the romantic declaration on this blog up there?
I WAS there. Remember when you called me on my mobile, I told you that I actually drove up to IRC, saw the big bunch of folks there with all the balloons, the big tent, and not a single familiar face. So, we chickened out and went over to Sobayoshi for our dinner instead? So, yea I was there and yes I know how BIG that last one was.
Huh? What romantic declaration? Did I just miss something or am I really super blur today (being Monday and all)???
Aiyo, the birthday boy is not called SL meh? Beautiful romantic relays by him and her in the blogsphere up there; dont be blurred by Mark Cheng’s long distance hypnotism which could burst into FLAME from Penang to KL across the Straits of Malacca!
No familiar face at IRC, but an unfamiliar voice calling a familiar name “Eleen” on the phone … hahaha.
Yoh! Where did you get the notion that the b’day boy is SL? He is sooo not SL lah.
Looks like YOU are the blur one here today
You mentioned the man on the Yam Rice blog. Except for him how could she pray every year for Oct 20 to come?
OooooOoooooooHhhhhH!!! Hahaha…u have a much better memory than I gave you credit for, Prof.
However, you are *still* blur lah. SL is the initial of my man and the b’day dude this post is dedicated to is NOT my man. You think I’d not jump on a plane and be right next to him on his special day if he’s my man??? 
Thousand apologies for being so blurry ole, but I do not want to be pushed to the pantaloon stage of mind yet like the Singapore movie: Money No Enough II… the mom crying as she entered the old folks’ home with no single familiar face in sight, and the son said it was a resort… hahaha…
Luckily, I didnt mention the wrong man, else would have a …
