happy birthday yen!

Birthday girl..

Thanks lots Yen Yen and family for the extremely tasty dinner..The food was abundant but we managed to finish most of it anyway cos it was just soooo yummy!

And it's always fantastic meeting up with the cousins and other relatives once again!

Thanks too for the unbelievably good chocolate birthday cake from bakerzinn! i'm gonna start ordering all my birthday cakes from there now!!

Anyz, while i was shopping for a present for Yen in the US, i chanced upon a Philosophy gift pack (with creams & some make up) which i nearly wanted to buy..partly cos i liked the words on the white bag so much! But later decided it wasn't worth the exorbitant price...Heh anywayz i'm sure the present we got for Yen in the end was much more to her liking!=)

But i just would like to share the words on the bag with everyone..They're so uplifting! For those who can't make out the blurry words on the picture, here they are:

birthday girl.

philosophy: Be grateful to have been given one more day, let alone one more year, remember to dance in your nightgown, to sing in the shower, ride a bike, fly a kite, and take an occasional "wind bath" in your bare skin, give those you love big kisses, huge hugs, and the words "i love you" often and always, nurture your body rather than starve your soul with fad dieting, spend time with the old and the weary to better appreciate your life, on your birthday, call your mother and father wherever they are to thank them for all that they have done for you, even if you think they haven't done enough, watch the movie "life is beautiful" at least once a year, remember that you are not guaranteed a tomorrow and that today is "as good as it gets", thank God for every "thing", every "day", every moment.
