surprise #1
my birthday celebration started from Friday 4pm plus, with the cake delivered to my office from jaime and gang.

surprise #2
then a great dinner at aburiya with kai. wagyu beef is awesome, slurpp! Afterwhich he suggested to head to HV for dessert. who koes??!! upon boarding the bus, lo and behold, I saw my dear sis. So coincidental! she claimed to be heading home, but wait…. bus 61 doesn't reach my plc! she fessed up supposedly to surprise me at HV! its so funny when she was caught in the act! she keep saying she was going home.
surprise #3
halfway through our supper (nixi's dinner), my dearest dearest friend, claire turned up!!! So sweet of her to do so, rushing from school, and she's a busy woman. TOUCHED!

surpise #4
at midnight, we head to 2am dessert bar. the place is fantatistic! the décor, the ambience, the service, and the food! when we stepped in, we didn’t need to look at the menu or ordered anything. the beautifully-crafted desserts just came! guess what, prior to meeting us, claire had popped by the place to place orders specially for moi!
surprise #5
it didn’t just end there! cindy my other dear friend popped by too! gosh, we haven meet up for a long time, and it was great celebrating with my 2 friends of over a decade! what a place to celebrate with my dear ones! FANTABULOUS! we got complmentary delicious brownies, on the house! Woohoo…..
surprise #6
nixi got me a jacket from topshop!! shall not say why, but it was the most precious gift. THANKS NIXI:) really appreciate it

surprise #7
when we asked for the bill, we were told the bill had been settled. how often did you get that!!!! by claire!!!
and all these happened before 2am of my actual bday! Ivory was a happy girl.

all thanks to nixi who made the arrangements.
on the actual day itself, went to red star to have dim sum with my family. just a simple outing, love it!

on the sat afternoon, we had a zone outing at henderson waves. was a tiring walk from henderson waves to villa bali (in fact, kai & i walked the course twice!) but I enjoyed myself totally, with kai, richard & kedy and other new-found friends from other cgs. we had a lot of fun, taking photos, completing the tasks of the walk.and ultimately sabo-ing kai to piggyback me while barefoot on the foot reflexology path! test of true love, muahahaha :P
surprise #8
at the end of the outing, everyone at the outing (a lot of people I didn’t know!) sang me a bday song! so sweet! afterwhich, we head to villa bali with yee, charlene and joshua. enoyed the simple chill and relax time, and I so resisted the fatal lychee martini!!

ivory was a happy happy girl!

surprise #9
all in all, my beloved group 16 rounded my bday on sunday with a simple dinner, surprise brownie, chill out @Loft…it was a crazy time with all of them. thanks for the presents, really really appreciate it a lot a lot a lot! It was great hearing those who shared at the bus-stop, lets run this race together, keep on keeping on! :)

turning 26 was more exciting than any birthdays. im not shy about my age.
but the thought of 4 more years to 30, NOW that is scary.

because of these beautiful friends.
because of kai.
ivory is blessed.

thanks all!
