okay that's it for my bday wishes! those who wished me by mouth, i'm sorry. but i can't remember when it happened or who wished me first. at least those got time recorded. LOL!

thank you JULIA for helping me with the whole surprise plan! i really appreciate you helping me out with my very 1st baking attempt! and for the record.. i think we make hell good cranberry oatmeal cookies! they were soft and not so sweet and just.. whooo!!! shiok! and it got a "pass with flying colours" from both the gf and my mom! :D

thanks to those who came for my bday! i had alot of fun hanging out with the family and friends. or rather.. 2 friends and the gf.

lastly, thank you BABY for spending the whole weekend celebrating my bday! i was concentrating so much on planning for your surprise bday celebration that i kinda forgot about mine! thank you for the presents and for making me feel like "a lil boy in the candyshop!" everything that you did was so well-thought of and well-organised! thank you for being such a dear to my family. thank you for being there with me. it really feels so different having someone you love so much at an almost "family event". and now, you're family. i love you and i can't wait for us to celebrate our bdays together next year. cheers to more bdays to come, to you, to me, to us. Prata-pon soon my chubby-chaser?

"i was waiting for so long,
for a miracle to come.
everyone told me to be strong,
hold on and don't shed a tear.

through the darkness and good times,
i knew i'd make it through.
and the world thought I had it all,
but i was waiting for you.."
