The long birthday post

I guess spending time w people who matters most and dear to heart totally brings the day to a truly meaningful and an unforgettable birthday. At 1st I thought I’ll have a quiet peaceful, simple bday this year. Didnt really plan anything at all. Thought of just spending some quality time with people who are dear to heart. Hang out and have dinner and that’s it. I thought that'd be just fine for this year. Best thing was I spent the most wonderful time with the one who matters most to me - God. Just thanking Him for all that He has done in my life at the stroke of my bday =D So what happened on my birthday for those who asked.
Here it is. I'll just update everything here. =)

I was awaken by Kelvin's call! Lol..It was like a "bday wake up call"! I was still blur when I picked up the phone and there this guy was going"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!! wat are u going to do on ya bday?" I was like "Huh? who is this! oh! hi Kelvin tks!..
and the conversation went on..." In my mind I was still blur..took me a few moments to register in mind that it's my bday and that I had to wake up already, if not,  I'll be late for my lil bday outing!ehe..so I quickly got ready and went back to YC for worship 1st thing in the morning(=P tt’s cos I need to pick Jack from church and tot I’d js drop by to say hi to those at YC and js sam pat ler)… Since it's praise and worship, so decided to stay.

Went to MV- Gardens later on. Supposed to just spend 3 hrs there, but ended up spending the whole day there! Gee! I haven’t been walking 6 hrs straight for a really long time man! We had fun just walking into almost every shop. Checking out the different brands. We've covered like almost every corner of Gardens!!!

Oh! I tell you the day just went by really smooth! Pretty indecisive on what to eat for lunch at first. Too spoiled w choices! I Wanted to have pasta ..thought of Chillis but it’s js too over the budget for me…so Jack and I just decided to walk around…and we came across Sweet Chat! There’s pasta and everything else just looks great! So we had lunch there!..Everything superb! We tried quite a few things on the menu, and all are just yummy! =D Coincidentaly Jack's mum was there too! Yea thanks to aunty. Lunch was a blessing! =D
We were so filled up! Sweet Chat is at the old wing..So decided to walked for a bit after lunch.

Jack gave me a treat at Gelatissimo. He promotes it like crazy. Stresses that it's so expensive over in Aus etc...Haha!! I tried almsot all the flavors before deciding. There were just too many good ones. Difficult to pick just 2..But anyhow we finally decided! Shared 2 flavors - Rum & Raisin & Macadamia & Caramel.. Totally Sweet! Ok I meant the moment...not the taste..haha=P

That's the last thing we did at Gardens. By then it was time for us to get back home cos it was also Jack's unc's bday. They are having family dinner and Tuck wanted to bring me out for dinner too. Funny thing was, Tuck didnt even call! Cos he said earlier that he's gonna pick me up from home at 6pm! So quickly we left Gardens and I made sure I msg Tuck to inform him that I'll be late. Jack offered to drive. I just handed over the car keys, relieved...cos my feet was aching already by then..(Harlo!been walkin the whole day! =P)... On the way, Jack asked if we could drop him at Lake Edge instead cos his unc was fixing some electrical stuff and he wanted to
spend some time with him. Upon arrival, he brought me to some area to 'check out' some nice houses. As we were moving down the lane, I saw the number plate of this Renault Espace to be very farmiliar. Next thing, I saw my mum in it! I was like "Jack! how come my mum is here?" Then as he stopped the car, I saw everyone else there!~Roe - Angie- Hun - Kim Fooi-Melvin -Bryan - mum - and Tuck too!
(tt's no wonder why he didnt call!) some frens from college and my ad course - church frens...Chu Yaw and Kelvin always there every year...Thank you so much for being there guys!!!!

I was SURPRISED!!! Lol!! Jack was supposed to blind fold me but oh well it doesnt matter cause I was still taken by a surprise! Totally didnt expect it at all. I must say Jack is one good actor! For the whole day?!! And everyone else too. Cos later I found out that this was already in planning like 2 mths before fromTuck, and the bbq thingy was decided a few days b4... God is trully good. He trully shows His love for me thru the friends and ppl around me.

Recently I had a few things in mind I wish I could have but just didnt have the budget to get it. Guess what?!..I got it on my bday. I didnt even tell anyone or expect anyone to give me any of those things in mind. But I got it for my bday! The best one was a book by Joel Osteen. Ok that I shared with Jack that I was searching for it at MPH 2mths back but couldnt find it. That's one thing I really wanted..It's kinda pricey so I was saving up to get that book actually..Lil did I know that I'd get it as a gift. Not only did it not come from the local bookstore, but all the way flown in from overseas. God is trully amazing! I'm reminded of my favourite verse once again...
" Delight yourself in the Lord and he will grant you the desires of your heart" ~Psalm 37:4
