Yesterday was the best Birthday I ever had in my 26 years of living, my 25th Birthday was the worst, so yup, this one rocks to the core :)

15 Reasons Why my 26th Birthday Rocks

  1. Had the first 100+ Well Wishes for My Birthday ever!

  2. Had the first mini Birthday Present given to me by two of my best friends! A cool Flickr Pro one year membership account! I thought it would be really nice to have $24.95 chipped in to get the mini present and within 2 hours plus, my birthday wish came true and they chipped in almost twice that amount!!! OMG, how cool is that? Thank you! HUGS * You don’t know how much that meant to me…more than you can ever imagine. :)
    • To J (mystery person), HUGS, you have been the greatest inspiration to me this year because of what you meant to me and your bucket list which you recommended to me. It made everything seemed so right from then on. You really made a difference my dear friend, lotsa love and thinking of you always! Enjoy your summer and hope to see you again soon!
    • To C (mystery person) who inspired and believed in me once again. I am getting there! *Winks* Hope that you will be proud of me soon! I still have the previous present inside my account, haven’t used it yet. This extra $20 will be used for making the name cards and stuff for setting up the business :) Really hope to rise up to expectations soon :)
  3. Had a really nice birthday celebration at home with my family in Singapore. Many Photos! I just placed them in my new Flickr Pro Account and you can see the photos here. I have to clip some of them off because my family members are Internet-photo shy. lolz. I think I will make the best use of the Account and put those with my family and friends online as private and open them to my really close friends such as J,C and M. hehe. Hopefully I will have enough to print into a book, that would be mighty fine! Come take a look at the photos here!
  4. Have some very nice and great friends who called me from overseas, especially Suz from Australia. She’s so lovable!
  5. Have one of my best friends called me personally to wish me happy birthday before he leaves for a business trip to China on Thursday!
  6. One of my friends did me a big favour two days before my birthday by accompanying another good friend of mine to Gold Coast. She went to Australia on Holidays. Thanks Jz! You rock!
  7. My Dad gave me a Nokia N95 mobile phone which has 3G functions…haha that means I am now able to work anywhere in the world which has internet access, on the go! Thanks Dad!
  8. My Mom gave me a gorgeous suit. This is my second one and I am wearing the top jacket in my birthday photos as above! Thanks Mom!
  9. My Sister gave me a Kinokuniya Privellge Card which gives me a 10-20% off the price of the books from that fantastic book store. haha thanks Sis for the card, will save me heaps and heaps of money this year. haha thank you for the cake too!
  10. My Brother got a PSP, haha it’s supposed to be shared since his birthday is close to mine. lolz. ( might show a clip of how cool it really is later this week!)
  11. Many many MANY sms messages from my friends, old new everyone!
  12. My favourite and most important teacher/ lecturer and supervisor in my life from University sent me Birthday well wishes and a very very nice message and encouragement, vote of confidence and even a very special gift! Thank you Sir!
  13. My favourite mentor/supervisor and friend sent me a very nice message to me too and superb encouragement and a vote of confidence.
  14. Had my friend shipped over my last year’s present ( a laptop backpack and a wallet) from Australia to Singapore. Wooohoo!
  15. Felt that the world changed and things will be super well from my birthday onwards :) My friends from Singapore are sending me 4 name card holders from Flickr’s MOO on Air Priority mail direct from USA , gosh. I can’t wait to see them!

As mentioned in the Flickr Pro account mini birthday gift post, I’ll create and post a special video for you! :) hmm let’s see what should I post . hehe

Stay tuned!

Once again thanks everyone!
