24th Birthday celebration

Thank you to all for my friends and colleagues that were there to celebrate it with me. This year is a good year. At least I know my birthday wish is coming true.

Total candles blown out for this memorable occasion: 1+1+24+24+10=60!!!! Gosh, I turn 60 this year. nevermind..i'm still happy that everyone took the effort to prepare and have those celebrations.

1) Celebrations with colleagues:
TGIF lunch. Had spaghetti, they made me do the Birthday ritual thingy. Haha...a bit embarassing, so thank God no one got it on video. It's just me singing song...out of tune~! :P
Had a birthday treat there. Videos will be uploaded to my multiply site later. After that, they bought me a secret recipe cake for tea time. Chocolate Indulgence ....yumm... they took 24 small candles and put it all around. Pics will be in my multiply site also. Too lazy to upload all here.



2) Celebration with Kura-Kuras
Steamboat at Chiang Wei's place. He's nice enough to prepare the soup base and buy the other food stuff in the market. Kesian him, went to market and kena called uncle. :P But nvm, it was one incredible effort to collect everyone and celebrate my brithday. Thank you kura-kuras~! Thanks to Thean for the gift also. Love it~! We makan till all stomach bloated and the cake was GOOD~!! Still don't know who smashed my face on it.


3) Celebration at Wong Kok

We had the birthday treat in Wong Kok also...the Big Glass of tea. Had some food that didn't really taste that nice. But we all had a good laugh, coz Ah Seng, the big joker/storyteller was there.

Are you healthy?

My Singapore trip this time around was...informative. Yea, one day we were out for lunch in Toa Payoh and there's this free health screening and dental checkup organised by the NUS Medical and Dentistry students. Whoa, med students...all leng chai and leng luis... :P But all of them are in their 3rd year of studies I think.

It was gaining the interest of a crowd of senior citizens. Well, since they offer really good goodie bags, my parents, my sis-in-law and I thought...what the heck?it's free and I get free stuff. So we went to get our queue numbers. First start off with the weight and height measurements. Next was my blood pressure and then glucose level. Nothing much, besides the fact that I'm overweight...sigh... BMI was not at a healthy side. I kinda expected that. And the soon-to-be doctor also said, besides that, I'm perfectly healthy...hmm.. After that, I think I should go and get myself a full body checkup. They had to take my BP readings 3 times. First 2 times shows that it was quite high. The 3rd shows that I'm normal. Freaked me out a bit. My glucose level was normal too.

We thought of going away before the dentistry student approached my mom, telling her bout the free dental checkup. So it was another round of waiting for the checkup. After years and years of not visiting a dentist; the results: I need scaling ( whatever that means... ). The student just told me to go to a dentist and mention that. Ok...and she was also nice enough to chat a little while. So happened that she's Malaysian too. And after the lesson on how to brush your teeth, she passed me a bag of goodies. I can say..their freebies..is REALLY good~! Thinking back on my uni days, there weren't one/more company that's willing to sponsor that much of stuff~!! So it was a rewarding day...I mean, besides the freebies,it does make me stop and think bout getting that full body checkup. As they always say, prevention is better than cure...
