hui's monologue : Thanks everyone =)))

Thanks everyone =)))

Today was a sweet 23rd birthday. =D Or as what I said during my cake cutting session, this is my 6th 18th birthday. HAHAHA

I woke up to a barrage of messages on my phone. My dad bought me my favourite porridge for breakfast. I went to work in a rosy mood and was greeted by A*mrita's and S*wati's birthday greetings.

Other greetings came along as people started to fill up the office because C*hristine and J*ulie drew "Happy Birthday Yu Hui!" on the board near the pantry:

V*ikram: "Hey morning! Happy Birthday!"

K*athrin: "Happy Birthday!"

Me: "Thanks!"

V*ikram: "So any parties tonight?"

Me: "No. My family celebrated the lunar one, so that was 2 weeks ago. And I don't really entertain dinners on weekday nights. I'm partying on weekends *grinz*"

V*ikram: "You are starting to become really American."

Me: "HAHAHA, no I kinda like to sleep well and wake up the next day fresh for work."\

V*ikram and K*athrin exchange glances.

K*athrin: "What did you do to her?"

V*ikram: "Don't look at me! Ok...we gotta do something about that.."

Me: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"

Lunch was V*ikram's treat and I was free to choose whichever restaurant I wanted to eat at. We had lunch at a Shanghainese restaurant and the food was superb! We talked about all kinda things ranging from work to video games and weird cultures and destinations. V*ikram left early for a conference call and the remaining 3 (me, K*athrin and C*hristine) of us stayed in the restaurant to finish the desserts.

We went back and got back to work - with people stopping by my desk to drop chocolates and wishing me Happy Birthday as well. Thanks everyone! =))))

It turned out the surprise did not end. I think my manager (who is on business trip to Shanghai) ordered a cake for me before she left. And while everyone was preparing in the pantry, I was still in a call with the Director of Revenue Management in China Xiamen.

To be honest, I did not expect it at all, just wondering why the office became so empty all of a sudden. Even V*ikram wasn't in his room. I disappeared from my desk and K*athrin had to come to the toilet to find me because everyone was waiting! =S

Preparation in progress:

K*athrin was good in capturing my attention and kept talking to me until I reach the pantry, and suddenly the whole office burst into "Happy Birthday' song.

I was honestly shocked (VP - lady in blue):

I said my thank-yous and cut the cake:

Yes the one in blue behind me is my funky boss, V*ikram.

V*ikram: "Quickly cut the cake!"

Me: "I'm really bad at dividing the cake..."

V*ikram: "Ok I think everyone is getting really hungry...Hahahaha."

Then comes A*bidah the expert in cake dividing:

And then V*ikram got the Indian management trainees to sing me the Indian Birthday song when he realised the chinese one has the same tune as the English one. And up came numerous versions of Happy Birthdays in Indian.

Me: "Why are there so many versions?!"

V*ikram: "You have any idea HOW MANY people are there in India?"

Me: "HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH!"

Thanks Revenue Mgmt for the wonderful cake and V*ikram for the superb lunch!

*my dark rings look so bad! No wonder I get chased out of office everyday =S*

Thanks to everyone in the office for the nice birthday song!:

Thanks to every other friend who left a message in my handphone (too many le but you know who you are!)

Thanks to those who left a message on my tagboard (Shaun, Wee Cheer, Phyl and Chris Zhuo) =D

Thanks to pa and ma for the good pork ribs dinner I came home to =D

Now, let me go thank everyone who left a message on my Facebook for the last few hours:

I think I need about an hour. But still, thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone =)))
